CULTURE Fight Song lyrics change with Big 12 B MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com Breaking up is hard to do, especially after 104 consecutive years. But that's what must happen now with Big 12 football. "That doesn't sit well with Kansas fans," said Max Falkenstien, a retired radio sports announcer for Kansas. "We have been rivals for over 100 years, and suddenly we're not good enough for you anymore?" The angry sentiment of Kansas fans and alumni led the Alumni Association to hold a lyric-writing contest to update the song. The lyrics to the KU Fight Song, "I'm A Jayhawk," have been officially changed to omit Nebraska and Colorado, both of whom left the Big 12 last summer. "I'm A Jayhawk" was originally written in 1912 by George "Dumpy" Bowles, and was updated in 1958 to include the rivalry of the Big 8. It's one of the only college fight songs to reference rivals by name. Eight judges evaluated the submissions and eventually chose Baylor graduate Matt Schoenfeld's lyrics. It was announced during halftime at the Homecoming game on Oct. 23. "One submission just left a long, silent pause during the line 'husk some corn and listen to the Cornhuskers wail,' said Kevin Corbett, KU Alumni Association president. "I thought that was really creative." "We wanted to recognize the schools in the conference," Corbett said, "and not pay any attention to the ones who left." Although Schoenfeld didn't attend KU, he's an avid KU fan and his wife Cynthia is a KU graduate. The new fight song replaced "buffs" with "bears," "cornhuskin" boys" with "cyclone boys," and added "aggies." The line "husk some corn and listen to the Cornhuskers wail" is now "rope some 'horns and listen to the Red Raiders wail." Falkenstien was a judge on the panel. He worked for the University for 60 years and covered more than 1,750 men's basketball games and 650 football games. Corbett said. "Hopefully, we won't have to change it again for quite some time." "The song is a tradition and we just want to keep it modern." His announcing career at Kansas began in 1946, and he witnessed first-hand the formation of the Big 8 and the Big 12. "Kansas has such intense rivalries because in the old days, they played a fewer number of teams and played those teams every year" Falkenstien said. "It will probably take a few decades before Kansas fans build up the animosity to Baylor and Texas Tech that they had towards Nebraska." Caitlin Wise, a senior and the director of the Homecoming Committee, was also a judge on the panel. "I can see why everyone wanted it changed," Wise said. "I worked at the Union last summer, and every time someone walked into the Big 12 room, the first question they OLD LYRICS (1958) Talk about the Sooners, The Cowboys and the Buffers, Talk about the Tiger and his tail.

ODD NEWS Bank robber leaves wallet at the bank The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office says the 26-year-old robber brandished a handgun at Destin's Union State Bank on Thursday, ordering the employees to the floor. DESTIN, Fla. — Investigators knew a man accused of stealing $6,000 from a Florida Panhandle bank didn't stuff the cash in his wallet.

Investigators showed the ID photo to bank employees, who thought it might be the robber.

Associated Press CAMPUS Online feature helps plan future classes As spring enrollment begins, students can be overwhelmed by the process of setting up advising appointments to build graduation plans. With the assistance of a new online tool available through Enroll and Pay, however, students can simplify that process. The tool, which is called Mv Planner, was launched this semester as an interactive way to map out future course schedules up to four years in advance. Students now have the ability to access this information from the Course Catalog, making the selection of courses easier. They can then directly reference the courses in their personal planner during enrollment.

"While it's a valuable preparation tool, we don't want it to replace advising appointments that ensure students are on the right track,"Pickerel said. during enrollment "The planner provides new information on how frequently a specific course is offered," said Mark Pickerel, systems administrator with Student Information Students, however, are still expected to review their plans with their advisors. the advising process and allow students to be better informed and prepared for meetings.

That's the only problem that we've got. MOVIES 'The Millennium Trilogy ends with 'Hornet's Nest' MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Lisbeth Salander, the centerpiece of the phenomenon known as "The Millennium Trilogy" or, in normal-speak, "The Girl Who ..." series, is a feral creature trying to survive in a hostile world that's invisible to most but very real, especially to her. "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" makes it clear that the true mystery in the saga — which began with "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Girl Who Played With Fire" — is about who this fiercely independent young woman is, how she got that way and, most important, what will become of her. become of her. Based on three best-selling novels by the late Stieg Larsson, the movies surround Salander with a cat's cradle of conspiracies, plot lines and characters, the most visible threads being murder, flashbacks to her abusive past and the presence of crusading journalist Mikael Blokvist (Michael Nyqvist), her knight errant. As in the first two movies, meserizing Noomi Rapace plays the title character, an enigmatic young hacker who brings a darkness and intensity that define her as much as her tattoos and body piercings. "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" begins where the last film ended, with Salander bloodied from bullet wounds and being whisked away by helicopter to a hospital. to a hospital. Director Daniel Alfredson mixes helpful flashbacks from the second movie, which he also helmed, with close-ups of her brain surgery, updates on her psychopathic half-brother, and a confusion of secondary characters who want Salander institutionalized or dead. After rehab, Salander must stand trial for the attempted murder of her abusive father, who's in a room at the same hospital. Blomkvist continues to champion her innocence and with help from his Millennium magazine staff, plans to gather evidence and publish an expose timed to the opening of her trial. It's useful to remember that the Swedish name for the first book translates to "Men Who Hate Women" as misogyny remains a thread throughout. Salander's father beat her and her mother. Her psychiatrist, a major character in "Hornet's Nest," kept her strapped to a table when she was wrongly institutionalized as a child. Later, her court-appointed guardian brutalized and raped her. (Recorded in controversial graphic scenes in the first film, they are revisited in the last, so be forewarned.) Although Blomkvist uses people without regret, he is the exception. And while Salander mends physically and mentally, Blomkvist dredges up documents relating to Salander's past, interviews key figures and ignores threats to himself and his staff. "Hornet's Nest" delivers patches of action, more than the first but nothing like the thrills in "Played With Fire." Although following the story is, at times, like wading through an aquarium thick with murk, "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" captivates because of Salander. Her presence dominates even when she's off-screen. She's a tenacious survivor so we root for her. And we know enough about her past to understand her, to know her, if you will, despite her revealing so little - other than through her eyes, her posture and movements; telling insights riveting Rapace brings out so well.

But Butch Patrick says his childhood could be called "The Munsters Years." Patrick, who played the pointy-earned Eddie Munster on the classic TV comedy "The Munsters," says he's never forgotten how much fun he had working on the series. "I had the best time in the makeup chair, or hanging out in the area where they had all the special effects" said Patrick, 57, in a phone interview. Patrick has also been spending several hours in the last few days promoting the Hallmark Channel's "The Munsters Marathon," a 10-hour cavalcade of episodes from the comedy that has become a staple of classic television, even though it ran for only two years, from 1964 to 1966.

Participation in election vital Tomorrow is an important day in this country of ours. On Tuesday, millions Though it's often said, voting is an important act for citizens. It is the reassertion of power. It is the single best chance for people to help guide the direction of this country. When we elect someone into office, we're sending a statement about what we value, what laws we would like to see, what our philosophical principles are and how we want government to operate. become in many cases about the size and scope of government. The national discussion over this issue has played everywhere - in Congress during the health care Nationally, this election has debate to each afternoon on Glenn Beck. Some of the discussion on both sides has been substantial, but much of it has been trivial. congressional representatives and state legislators give Kansas voters additional opportunities to decide what direction American policy should take. Students have as big a stake in who our leaders are as anyone else in this country. In Kansas, voters can choose between Democrat Tom Holland and Republican Sam Brownback for governor. Races for expansion of the Lawrence Public Library through an $18 million bond. But the national questions are not the only issues to be decided on Tuesday; local decisions are being made, too. Voters will decide on a proposed Two amendments to the Kansas Constitution will also be voted on. One amendment would "preserve constitutionally the right of a person to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, and for all other lawful purposes, including hunting and recreation" according to an explanatory note on the ballot. The other amendment would, if passed, prevent the Kansas legislature from excluding mentally ill individuals from voting. These questions and more will be decided Tuesday. And students should be a part of those decisions. Congress and state legislatures are not exactly sexy topics, but the bills passed by these bodies can have lasting impact on our lives. Students registered to vote should take the time needed to walk down to their polling place Tuesday, even if it means skipping a bit of class. Students, and young people in general have as big a stake in who our leaders are as anyone else in this country. The results may or may not be to your liking, but we can all agree that participation is vital to creating the government we need, if not always the government we want.

Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board Non-partisan voter information votesmart.org View a sampe Kansas ballot vote-ks.org the END IS NEAR HALLOW SALE Mariam Salfonio MARIAM SAIFAN POLITICS Obama has shown courage Poor Obama. He's becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of presidents. Conservatives are calling him a socialist. Tea-partiers are painting him a witch doctor. Moderates are disserting him. Democrats are telling him to "shove it." ... And Jon Stewart is even questioning his temerity. This historic piece of legislation depleted a lot of the administration's political capital. We will see the fallout tomorrow. Yet I can't think of a more endearing trait for a leader: doing the right thing no matter how unpopular it might be. He gets no respect, I tell ya. Flak is coming from all directions, but one thing goes without question: This presidency has been anything but timid. "Obamacare" took more than temerity. It took courage. Obama-Dangerfield took the opportunity to get legislation passed that several presidents before him could not. His leadership extended health care to millions of Americans who couldn't afford what had been a privilege, like avoiding bankruptcy because of disease. Chrysler is now safely in the hands of Fiat. And in August, General Motors posted its second quarterly profit in a row, its best showing in three years. This month G.M. will repurchase $2.1 billion in preferred stock held by the government. After the buyback, G.M. will have repaid 20 percent of the money received from the Starting the Conversation Obama-Dangerfield provided the leadership needed to save the economy from going "into the ditch," an oft-used one-liner of his. The problems he faced demanded bold solutions, like passing a stimulus bill and bailing out Big Auto. Both were wildly unpopular but successful moves. PETER E. BY D.M. SCOTT Without the stimulus bill, the economy would be 2.5 million jobs lighter. The bill saved jobs in education, law enforcement and transportation, extended unemployment benefits that bolstered consumption and provided temporary tax relief to individuals and businesses, according to the Congressional Budget Office. government. The auto company has secured a $5 billion revolving credit line and had $26.8 billion in cash reserves at the end of June, according the New York Times. Had the government let G.M. and Chrysler go, the economy would have lost three million jobs at a time when it was hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. Through government intervention, lead by Obama-Dangerfield, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, America dodged a depression, plain and simple. While these leaders paved the way to recovery-a slow and painful recovery-the Republicans have been busy playing politics. They decried stimulus spending simply because it was a Democratic idea.The main objective for Politicians like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been and remains to derail Obama-Dangerfield's presidency,rather than fix the catastrophe his party created. This kind of tunnel vision does not bode well for America. Fueled by the G.O.P. faux-fiscal austerity—embodied by the "Pledge to America" that will supposedly eliminate our "crushing debt" without cuts to military spending—the ideological shift headed toward Washington is the exact opposite of what we need. It will breed the sort of policy that could possibly lead to a period of stagnation similar to the kind experienced by Japan during the 1990s that lead to the "lost decade." japanese economists and policy makers are watching us, wondering why we haven't learned from their mistakes. We don't need to extend tax cuts to the rich, a top priority for Republicans. We need government spending because it hits the economy faster than taxcuts and compensates for the lack of consumption and investment. We most restore growth first and worry about deficits later. This means we need to spend more money now despite how unpopular it might be. This is why some pundits are calling Obama-Dangerfield timid. The government hasn't been bold enough to spur the growth we need. The economy needs more stimulus and more spending. This is not Obama-Dangerfield's fault. The administration has been handicapped by political operatives more concerned with their own agenda than policy that will help America. The president has been thwarted by the tyranny of the minority. Our economic forecast may now get much worse before it gets better. Want a second opinion? Expect Gridlock, too.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Oral contraceptives harmful to women The recent article, "Oral contraceptives pricier than in past" suggests that oral contraceptives should be subsidized by the federal government or otherwise made more readily available to college students. I would like to point out a few of the many reasons that oral contraceptives are extremely harmful to women, making them unworthy of support from any source. Firstly, oral contraceptives are not truly medicinal. While medication is intended to restore health, oral contraceptives cause a disease, namely, infertility. The artificial hormones supplied by "the pill" may also increase risks for breast cancer, blood clots and stroke. Further, birth control pills are often prescribed as a superficial remedy which mask the symptoms of underlying medical problems. Often, irregular cycles and pain are signs of reproductive health disorders such as ovarian cysts or endometreosis. More healthcare practitioners should be encouraging gynecological charting as a way to uncover the problems related to a woman's health. For more information regarding natural fertility education, see www. creightonmodel.com. Additionally, and most importantly, since lives are in the balance, oral contraceptives are abortifacients. There are several mechanisms of action, including the suppression of ovulation, alteration of mucus and the disruption of the endometrium growth cycle. When this "last defense" mechanism is required, the pill is not merely contraceptive; it can abort the newly conceived life by preventing implantation. Even if employed a very small fraction of the time, the sheer number of sexually active women on the pill ensures that tens of thousands of lives are lost to this form of silent abortion each year. Finally, oral contraceptives are not necessities. Why should taxpayer money contribute to something that simply makes it convenient for individuals to engage in voluntary behavior for which they are not willing to accept the consequences?

Stephen Montemayor CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Other holidays celebrate more than just costumes BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com While Halloween gets most of the attention this time of year, three lesser-known religious holidays bring more meaning than just costumes and trick-or-treat. The Catholic holidays of All Saints Day and All Souls Day and All Hours hall day of Samhain (pronounced "sowwan") fall on or directly after Halloween. The Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, encompasses both Catholic holidays. These are observed on campus and in Lawrence. when the "veil" between the spirit world and the real world is thinest. During this time, it is Wiccan tradition to hold what they call a "dumb supper." At this supper, a family or group makes a meal for a loved one that has passed away during that year. The meal is held in complete silence. It is a way for people to commune KU CAULDRON MEETINGS KUCauldron. WHEN: Mondays at 8 p.m WHERE: Hashing Hall, first floor meeting room For more information, visit the KU Cauldron student organization page on the KU website. Members of the club said the time around Halloween is the time pagan religious group on campus, celebrates Samhain, one of the most important holidays on its calendar, on Oct. 31. Samhain is the Wiccan and pagan equivalent of New Year's Eve. But more importantly, it is a time to celebrate and remember the dead. "Most cultures have some kind of a holiday that acknowledges the connection of the living and the dead," said Joe Harrington, the faculty advisor for KU Cauldron. and bring the memories of their loved ones to the forefront of their minds, said Buffy McKinley, a KU alumnus and a founding member of KU Cauldron. "It's always difficult to keep from giggling during the silent dinner." McKinley said. Although this silent supper may sound like a unique custom of Wiccan and pagan religions, there are similar traditions in religions like Christianity. During All Saints Day on Nov. 1, Catholics celebrate and remember the saints in heaven. Then, for All Souls Day the following day, they remember those people that have passed and are on their way to heaven. The celebration for these souls is not much different than Wiccan customs. It involves quiet prayer and collective recollection of the dead. Harrington attends the group's meetings and listens to the discussion of topics such as divination and astrological projections, but he admits he sometimes slips into professor mode. He added that one of those cultures that connects the living with the dead in some way as Mexico with its or Dia de los Muertos celebration. To commemorate the traditional Mexican holiday the Watkins Community Museum of History is holding an exhibit displaying classic figures from the Dia de los Muertos. A tradition for Dia de los Muertos is for families to build a small altar for the dead and place their favorite foods, drinks, and pictures on display. "The idea being that their spirits can travel back to consume some of the things on the altar." Keegan said. Along with the altar, families display depictions of daily activities and social events with skeleton figures to both acknowledge a continuation after death and to commemorate moments from their lives. KU Cauldron held both private and public celebrations of Samhain over the weekend and the Dia de los Muertos exhibit at the museum will be open until December.

From left, Lawrence senior Sarah Christians, Olathe senior Riley Wertenberger, and Pocono Lake, Penn., senior Ashley DeSandre, sit in front of East-Lake Church before the 11 a.m. service, held at South Junior High on Louisiana Street. EastLake is currently having a "Thank God for Sex" series every Sunday to offer guidance on topics about sex and relationships, along with free coffee. The services are really back, and his lecture is engaging as well as amusing. DeSandre said, "Plus what's better than God, sex and free coffee?" Christians added. Omar Khadr's case comes to an end after public scrutiny, outcry Omar Khadr looked straight ahead as a military judge imposed the eight-year sentence, ending a legal odyssey that began when the Canadian son of a major al-Qaida figure was captured — at age 15 — with severe wounds in Afghanistan in 2002 after a four-hour firefight. INTERNATIONAL Sentence extended 8 years for former al-Qaida fighter Khadr pleaded guilty Oct. 25 to five war crimes including murder for throwing a grenade that mortally wounded an American special forces medic, Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer. Military prosecutors said it was no routine battlefield killing because the Canadian was not a legitimate soldier, but an al-Qaida fighter. In terms of the plea deal, the U.S. agreed to send the now 24-year-old Khadr — the last Western prisoner at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba — back to his homeland after one more year in custody. He has been held at Guantanamo for eight years. Speer's widow, Tabitha, pumped her fist and cheered "yes!" when the jury announced its 40-year sentence. Then she burst into tears. The Toronto-born Khadr could have received up to life in prison if convicted at trial of even one of the charges against him. Prosecuters said he deserved no special protection and argued that his actions were war crimes because al-Qaida fighters are not legitimate soldiers who follow the internationally accepted principles of war. Khadr admitted planting 10 roadside bombs in Afghanistan and spying on U.S. convoys to study the best ways to attack them. The Khadr case has been one of the most scrutinized at the' Guantanamo war crimes tribunals, with critics saying that a battlefield death should not be treated as a, homicide and that Khadr — whose father was a confidante of Osama bin Laden — was a "child soldier" pushed into militancy by his family. Before announcing the verdict, the jurors had asked that a tape of McCarthy's testimony be played again for them.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1,2010 WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 1B STORMY WEATHER STATE 29 INVOLVE BENTON Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Senior running back Annus Quinlev fumbles the ball in the first half Saturday against Iowa State. The fumble was recovered by the quarterback Quinn Mecham. After a strong first half, the Jayhawks lost 28-16. Cyclones uproot the Jayhawks BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com The Kansas football team didn't want to miss out on Halloween festivities in Ames on Saturday. It decided to dress up like a good football team. For the first half, anyway. On Iowa State's first play from scrummage, Lubbock Smith forced a fumble of Darius Reynolds, and Kansas capitalized with a field goal to take an early lead, the team's first since beating New Mexico State on Sept. 25. The Jayhawks added another field goal — due in part to converting one of their two success- fourth down play before half to go up six. After converting both fourth down attempts, Kansas coach Turner Gill decided not to press his luck in the waning seconds of the opening half. On first down from the Cyclones' 21-yard line with around 25 seconds left, Gill decided to run the clock down to three seconds before calling his final timeout and sending in kicker Jacob Branstetter for his third field goal of the day. The kick gave the Jayhawks a 9-7 half-time lead. The conservative play-calling could have been foreshadowing by the offensive staff. Quinn Meam's debut (on the road no less) almost certainly influenced first half playcalling, where Kansas ran the football 27 times, almost doubling Mecham's 14 pass attempts. With the defense holding the Cyclones scoreless, the run-happy offensive philosophy was working for the Jayhawks, something Gill thought his team could do. "We thought we would be able to [run the ball]," Gill said. "I thought we had some pretty good success but we just needed to make a few more plays." While the defense kept Kansas close, Angus Quigley and James Sims were able to chew up yards and the clock, gaining a combined 99 yards in the first half to go with KU's 21 minutes of possession. That defensive headlock only lasted until halftime, however. Iowa State received the second half's opening kickoff and went on a tear, not letting up until the Jayhawks were in a position they've known all too well this season; down double digits in the second half. "That third quarter was huge," defensive end Jake Laptad said after the 28-16 loss. "Going in ahead at the half was huge, but we just didn't come out to play after that." After scoring on back to back drives in the third quarter, Kansas found themselves down 21-9. The running game had to be scrapped in favor of Mechan's right arm. The end-of-half decision to run out the clock suddenly made sense. On first and ten from his own 46-yard line, Mecham was picked off by Jake Knott, who returned it to the line of scrimmage. Three plays later, hopes for a Kansas comeback a la 2008 in Ames were dashed as Cyclone running back Shontrelle Johnson scampered 33 yards into the KU end zone. The 12-point loss was a far cry from the last three Kansas games, SEE STORMY ON PAGE 5B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Davis leads Kansas to victory over Fort Hays Jayhawks win first game of season, and expect more to come BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Sophomore Carolyn Davis shattered her own records for points and rebounds, leading the Kansas women's basketball team to an 83-62 victory in its first game of the season over Fort Hays State Sunday.

"I have to stay consistent and keep finishing around the basket." BONNIE HENRICKSON Coach the rim so I took advantage of the size advantage and scored some easy baskets," Davis said. Henrickson has seen great improvements from Davis in the off-season. "She is much more confident and much more aggressive," Henrickson said. "Her ceiling is still really high about one-on-one moves and working your guy up the lane a little bit. I think she took advantage of the fact that she was bigger and longer than other players in the gym today. What she did today is what great players do; she made it look really easy" "All three of them want to lead and embrace how important that is to us, but I also think it is important that we have seniors that are leading too," Henrickson said. "They all lead by example and are all learning how to be more vocal." This season, Davis is one of three captains, along with fellow sophomores Monica Engelman and Angel Goodrich. "I am only a sophomore, but I played a lot last year so I think that [with] the experience I have and the things I did last year I can lead the freshman and even some of the returners." Davis said. Davis was also named Presseason Honorable Mention All-Big 12. Goodrich finished with nine points and six assists in her first game returning after a knee injury in January. "It is so exciting. Just getting out there and feeling my teammates and playing together, it has been phenomenal," Goodrich said.

COMMENTARY Johnson Robinson show extra motivation BY COREYTHIBODEAUX The way sophomores Thomas Robinson and Elijah Johnson looked Enjajohnson looked at the end of last season, you could've sworn it was their last game as lavahaws. We saw glimpses of the talent that resides in these two blooming youngsters last year. In all likelihood, we will see a huge jump from them this year, fueled by missing out on a national title last year. Sitting side by side in the locker room after the loss against Northern Iowa, any question asked of them was returned with silence, their focus on the floor. Johnson still hasn't forgotten. "We get another chance," he said. The two sophomores could be as flashy as any player on last year's team, but they could make a lot of mistakes too. Robinson's massive yet athletic frame got him in foul trouble when he fell for blocks or tried too hard to score. They have their problems, but no one can question their work ethic. For Johnson, who started two games last season, his ball handling and speed was a strength, but he struggled to control the ball and often turned it over. "I think he's grown-up." Self said. "I think Thomas was one of the kids that wanted to come in and really do good right when he got here." "I want no doubts that when I'm out there," Robinson said. "I'll be the hardest working player on the floor." Robinson is a beast. As coach Bill Self has always said, he has a great motor. He just needs a chance to stay on the floor by playing smarter on defense and patient offense. He went home to Las Vegas and worked out twice, maybe three times a day just because there was nothing else to do. "Where I am right now isn't where I want to finish at," Robinson said. T-Rob, as his teammates call him, has probably the highest ceiling on the team. The biggest jump players make is the freshman to sophomore year, so this year may show if Robinson has NBA talent in him. "I did stuff when I didn't want to," Johnson said. "Late nights, putting up shots when I was most tired." Johnson, on the other hand, won't overwhelm you from first glance. But he spent the summer working off the frustration from the Norther Iowa loss.. That's why he worked with the veteran big men and coaches this year to get that under control. Everyone is looking at Josh Selby and the Morris twins to determine how the Jayhawks will fare in 2010-11. Well, Selby wasn't here last year to share in the agonizing defeat and all eyes have been on the Morris twins since the team began preparing for this season. As far as talent goes, the jump last year's true freshmen make this year will do a lot more than improve the Jayhawk bench. The pain of loss these guys have already felt could be the difference-makers come March.

Ward FACT OF THE DAY Kansas played on natural grass for the first time this season when it traveled to Ames, Iowa. - Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many players made their first career start for the football team this weekend? A: Three: Quarterback Quinn Mecham, wide receiver Erick McGriff and cornerback Greg Brown Kansas Athletics Tidbits for fantasy footballers MORNING BREW It's the middle of the fall and I've come down with a horrible case of fantasy mid-season blues. Diana L. Berman I am not undefeated in any of my leagues, and some of my "genius" picks, Jay Cutler and Marques Colston, have fallen a little short. My players are dropping like flies. I have Addai in two of my leagues, Alex Smith in one, and I've already had Mark Clayton get put on injury reserve. With my bad luck and the pile of midterms and papers I've gotten in the past few weeks, fantasy football has started to fall by the wayside. BY SAM ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com the waysite. I feel like my discontent is shared by millions of fantasy owners around the globe. However, there are a few things that you can do to keep yourself in the game. Start looking for players that have been out a while on injury. I picked up Matthew Stafford a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did, because one of my quarterbacks, Alex Smith, is injured, and the other, Jay Cutler, has a bye week. Starting with Alex Smith's backup and Matthew Stafford may not be the perfect scenario, but hopefully they can get me a few points. Another player to think about is Reggie Bush. He should be returning in the next few games. He probably won't be back this week — Pittsburgh's run defense is not exactly a warm welcome — but he'll return soon. Pierre Thomas is still out, so he will probably see increased touches when he's back on the field. Make a schedule. All throughout me you've had authority figures telling you to schedule your time — to do your homework at x time every night and spend x minutes practicing an instrument or sport. Well, give yourself a weekly schedule. I always look on Tuesdays for any pickups I could make that I might have missed on Sunday. Thursdays I check my lineup and I make a few last-minute tweaks Saturday afternoon. THE MORNING BREW afternoon. It's not to say that my schedule system is foolproof. Once, I completely forgot about one of my teams and left half the roster empty. Needless to say, I lost. Stay optimistic. Miles Austin, one of the top fantasy sleepers of last year, really didn't have a big game until week five, and wasn't consistently good until week 12. Before you completely give up on your team, remember that this season's Miles Austin could be sitting on your bench. It may be hard to continue to care once you've lost a few games in a row, but if you don't try you'll never win. You never know when the Marques Colstons of the league may actually start producing. —Edited by Michael Bednar CROSS COUNTRY Jayhawks take seventh place in Big 12 The KU teams traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to compete in the championship during Halloween weekend BY LAUREN NEWMAN lnewman@kansan.com On Saturday the cross country team traveled to the Big 12 Championship in Stillwater, Okla.

Seniors Kaitlyn Cunningham, Erin Ellefson, Lauren Jackson, Erin Lewis, Geneva Magness, Rachel Morris, Caitlin Noble and Katie Williams all doned a Kansas Jersey for the last time in their careers. Junior forward Kortney Clifton said the team was playing with extra motivation. "I think everyone was really inspired, just to know that this was (the seniors) last game, and everyone was just playing for them." Clifton said. "It was really fun to come together on that." Clifton notched the first and last goal for the Jayhawks, making it the second multi-score game she has had this season. This also marks the third time in the last four years that a non-senior has had a multi-goal game on senior day. In the first half Clifton received a pass in the middle of the box from freshman Caroline Kastor and was able to dribble it past the goalie to score. Just a few minutes later sophomore Whitney Berry took a Lauren Jackson free kick and made the most of it, putting the Javhaws up 2-0.

Kansas' stifling defense only allowed SIU to record five shots the whole game. The layhawks recorded 18 shots, half of them being on goal. "It was nice for the seniors especially," Francis said. "It was good for them that we could finish with a win." With those two goals, Clifton ended up leading the team in scoring at seasons end, with four goals. "She's dangerous," coach Mark Francis said.

NFL Ethan Padway Fourth-quarter scoring run boosts 49ers past Broncos ASSOCIATED PRESS Smith completed three long passes in the fourth quarter to lead the 49ers to a 24-16 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. WEMBLEY, England — Troy Smith needed three quarters to find his range in his first start as a 49er. Once he did, San Francisco rallied to victory in the NFL's fourth regular-season game in London. Trailing 10-3 and struggling all day, Smith tied the score by rushing for a 1-yard touchdown after completing back-to-back passes to Delanie Walker, the first for 27 yards and the second for 38 following a scramble.

Each team had two fumbles during the game. Chris Neal/KANSAN Quote of the Game "We're here to win football games. I didn't come here to the University of Kansas to just be competitive. But we're making progress and this was another opportunity to improve." Coach Turner Gill Nicholas B. Johnson Grades Running backs: Angus Quigley and James Sims combined for 129 yards on the ground, but were unable to reach the end zone and failed to break any runs for more than 11 yards. "B-" Quinn Mecham: 22-33 passing with an interception, Mecham managed the game well but threw a costly interception in the third quarter, ending any hopes of a Kansas comeback. His only touchdown to Sims in the fourth quarter was well after the game was decided, "C +". Pass rush: The Jayhawk defensive line improved for the second straight week. Jake Laptad and Richard Johnson each had a sack, and there was decent pressure on Cyclone quarterback Austin Arnaud for the better part of the game. Toben Opurum is improving at defensive end, but it's still a work in progress for the former running back/linebacker. Overall, "B +". Coaching: Turner Gill's conservative, run-heavy attack kept the Cyclone defense off the field and gave the Jayhawks a 9-7 halftime lead. Quinn Mecham said the game plan gave him confidence in his debut. "The coaches did a great job preparing us all week and we were pretty confident all week." I give the coaches an "A". Turning Point Trailing 21-9 in the third quarter and near midfield, Quinn Mecham's interception led to an Iowa State touchdown three plays later. The Cyclones went up 28-9 late in the quarter and the game was essentially over. - Kory Carpenter Schedule Date Opponent Result/Time 9/4 vs. North Dakota State L, 6-3 9/11 vs. Georgia Tech W, 28-6 9/17 at Southern Miss L, 31-16 9/25 vs. New Mexico State W, 42-16 10/02 at Baylor L, 55-7 10/14 vs. Kansas State L, 59-7 10/23 vs. Texas A&M (Homecoming) L, 45-10 10/30 at Iowa State L, 28-16 11/06 vs. Colorado 1 p.m. 11/13 at Nebraska TBA 11/20 vs. Oklahoma State TBA 11/27 vs. Missouri 11:30 a.m. 15 STATE 17 Iowa State's junior defensive end Earl Brooks is called for pass interference on junior cornerback Daymond Patterson in the end zone late in the fourth quarter.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2010 / SPORTS 7B NBA Powerhouse Miami Heat defeats NJ Nets, 101-78 The devastating trio, Wade, James and Bosh, pick up a three-game winning streak for the Heat after a win over the New Jersey Nets ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWARK, N.J. — Dwyane Wade studied the sheet of paper in front of him, wondering if there was a mistake. "Is this first half stats?" Wade asked. "Nine shots?" "That's the whole game." LeBron James answered. James scored 20 points, Bosh and Wade were close behind, and the Heat ended the New Jersey Nets' unbeaten start with a 101-78 victory Sunday. Wade doesn't need to shoot much anymore, not since james and Chris Bosh joined him to form a potential powerhouse in Miami. Bosh finished with 18 points and Wade added 17, both getting most of them in Miami's dominant first half before sitting out the fourth quarter. James played a little of the final period and added seven rebounds and seven assists. "The balance is what we are here together for." Wade said, "to have an opportunity to make the game easy on everyone and we're doing it. We're playing great team basketball and we're still not where we want to be, but we're making sure everyone gets an opportunity." It was the most impressive offensive performance yet for the Heat, who have won three straight since beginning their new era with a loss in Boston on opening night. Miami shot 68 percent in the first half, when its Big Three combined for 41 points—one fewer than New Jersey—and the stats only lowered when the reserves took over toward the end. gled in two of Miami's first three games. "When I watch other games and I'm not aggressive, we don't do as well on that certain possession, we either turn the ball over or we don't get a good shot because we're fighting the shot clock," he said. Brook Lopez scored 20 points and rookie Derrick Favors had 13 points and 13 rebounds in the Nets' first loss this season before new "The balance is what we are here together for, to have an opportunity to make the game easy on everyone." Bosh was 8 of 10 from the field, determined to be more aggressive after he strug- owner Mikhail Prokhorow, who watched his third game this week before heading back to Russia. DWAYNE WADE Miami Heat shooting guard The Nets followed their 12-70 finish from last season by opening with victories over Detroit and Sacramento — an especially good start since they set an NBA record by dropping their first 18 games of 2009-10. But those are lottery teams. Miami is a championship contender. The Heat were coming off their first big victory, overpowering rival Orlando 96-70 on Friday night in their home opener. Coach Erik Spoelstra said before Sunday's early start he hoped there would be no hangover. Even with lames picking up a pair of early fouls, the Heat made 10 of 14 shots (71 percent) in the first quarter, building a double-digit lead less than halfway through the period en route to a 29-18 cushion after one. Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who followed James from Cleveland to Miami, started the second quarter with a flurry, and the lead was up to 18 after a dunk by James. The Nets couldn't do much to cut into it and the Heat led 58-42 at halftime. Nothing to worry about. "I told my team during the course of the year that there will be two or three or four games where you're not very good, and this was one of them," Nets coach Avery Johnson said. "We weren't good from the start. We were stuck in the mud, we were stuck in second gear." James made his first visit to a team he met with during free agency. He admitted Sunday he would change some things about the process if he had the chance — he didn't specify what they were — but reiterated he's comfortable he made the right decision. The Nets were the first team to sit down with James and believed the new direction they promised under Prokhorov gave them a chance. James praised the organization before the game but fans apparently haven't forgiven, booing the former crowd favorite during introductions and the first few times he touched the ball — though there were loud cheers when he threw down a couple of powerful dunks. James said he considered that the NBA's great new show could have been based in New Jersey. "On the way to the game, I even mentioned it to Chris, just saying 'This is a point where we could have ended up at,' James said. "But at the end of the day, we're the Miami Heat team, we're the Miami Heat franchise and we have a goal." Carlos Arroyo had 12 points for the Heat, who broke 100 points for the first time and finished at 54 percent from the field. Eddie House finished with 11 and fellow reserve ligauskais scored 10. "When they get everyone involved like that they are obviously a tough team to beat. They got it going against us tonight." Nets forward Joe Smith said. "Defensively, they do a great job of clogging the paint and making you take tough shots from the perimeter. You just have to find a way to get the easy looks and tonight we just didn't do that." NFL Chargers rally to take out the Titans ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Antonio Gates is playing pretty well for a guy with turf toe. Vince Young isn't as lucky. Taking advantage of yet another mismatch, Gates got behind linebacker Will Witherspoon to haul in a go-ahead, 48-yard pass from .Philip Rivers midway through the third quarter to help the San Diego Chargers rally for a 33-25 win Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, who lost Young to another injury. returning from a sprained left knee and ankle that kept him out of a win against Philadelphia a week earlier. Young completed 10 of 21 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns. San Diego (3-5) snapped a three-game losing streak and won its eighth straight game against the Titans dating to 1993. The victory may have saved the season for the Chargers, who have been off to their worst start in four seasons under coach Norv Turner. Young had played well after The Titans lost wide receiver Kenny Young was hurt while scrambling with less than six minutes to play and had to be helped off the field. Kerry Collins moved the Titans to the Chargers 15 before Chris Johnson dropped a pass on fourth-and-2 with 30 seconds to go. The Titans (5-3) had their three-game winning streak snapped. San Diego is the only team Titans coach Jeff Fisher hasn't beaten. Britt to a hamstring injury in the first quarter, Chargers rookie running back Ryan Mathews sustained cuts and scrapes when his helmet came off in the third quarter but he returned. Gates, caught his ninth TD pass this season for a 24-19 lead. The star tight end was late coming out of the locker room after halftime because he was getting his foot re-taped. Rivers had his fifth 300-yard game of the season, completing 27 of 36 for 305 yards, with two TDs and one interception. He also threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Darren Sproles with 6:51 left. The Chargers botched the point after, which would have given them a nine-point lead. Young's 71-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Nate Washington pulled the Titans to 27-25 with 11:43 left. The conversion pass to Johnson failed. The win may have saved the season for the Chargers, whod been off to their worst start in four seasons under coach Norv Turner. The Chargers trailed 19-7 late in the second quarter before getting three straight scores. Mathews scored on a 7-yard run 1:55 before halftime and Kris Brown kicked a 34-yard field goal midway through the third quarter to bring the Chargers within two. Gates 'TD catch gave San Diego its first lead since the first quarter. Brown kicked a 36-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 27-19 lead. On the Titans' first play from scrimmage, Young hit Washington for the long touchdown. The Titans took their 19-7 lead on a 29-yard TD run by Johnson with 4:43 left in the second quarter. He started right and then cut back to his left, avoided two tackles and then picked up a key block from Young, who took out cornerback Antoine Cason at about the 15 to clear the way to the end zone. Young then slung Johnson over his shoulder and carried him toward the bench. Another Chargers specialteams blunder led to a 2-0 Titans lead less than two minutes into the game. Nick Schommer blocked Mike Scifres' punt, with the ball bouncing out of the end zone and into the stands for a safety. Rivers led the Chargers on an 83-yard,15-play drive capped on a 1-yard run by fullback Mike Tolbert for a 7-2 lead. The Titans got Rob Bironas' 21-yard field goal and a 1-yard TD pass from Young to tight end Craig Stevens on consecutive drives to take a 12-7 lead. NBA Clippers' shooting woes lead to Mavericks victory ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Jason Kidd ended the first half with a 65-foot shot-put heave from inside the 3-point arc at the opposite end, Caron Butler scored 17 points and Shawn Marion had 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 99-83 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Dirk Nowitzki added 16 points and seven rebounds for the defending Southwest Division champions in their first road game of the season. Kidd finished with 13 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Rookie Blake Griffin had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Clippers, who missed 14 of their first 16 shots and finished at 34 percent while falling to 0-3 on the season under new coach Vinny Del Negro. None of the starters reached double digits until Griffin converted a slam dunk with 5:32 left in the third quarter. Griffin missed nine of his first 11 shots and also was hit with his first technical foul in his third NBA game from referee Mark Lindsay after teammate Ryan Gomes was called for his fifth foul with 3:06 to play. Baron Davis came up empty on his first five attempts before connecting on a 20-footer that trimmed Dallas' lead to eight at 66-58 with 5:58 left in the third. Rasual Butler, the Clippers' 3-point specialist, was 0 for 5 from behind the arc and played 21 scoreless minutes. The Mavericks, who squandered an 11-point lead in the first half before taking a 49-47 halftime lead on Kidd's miracle shot, pulled ahead 63-52 with a 10-1 spurt capped by Tyson Chandler's slam dunk off an alley-oop feed from Kidd with 7:23 left in the third period. Dallas built the margin to 16 on Jose Barea's 3-pointer and 8 1/2 minutes remaining, and the Clippers got no closer than 11 points after that.

Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Grad student April Mille from Lawrence and junior Daryl Green from Wichita cheer for the Jayhawks in the second half Saturday in Ames Iowa. The Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones failing to 2-6 overall for the season. The Jayhawks return home to play Colorado at home on Saturday. Jayhawks end losing streak VOLLEYBALL BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The last time the teams met, Texas Tech (3-19, 1-12 Big 12) defeated Kansas (14-10, 5-8 Big 12) in a five-setter in Lubbock, Texas. Kaiser said that loss motivated the team to play well Saturday. Outstanding performances by senior outside hitters Karina Garlington and jenna Kaiser helped the layhawks snap a fourmatch losing streak with a sweep over the Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday. Garlington and Kaiser each scored 16 kills, with only one attack error between them. Saturday, Kansas won the first set 25-13, scoring 20 kills with an efficiency of .655 and topping Texas Tech's sideout percentage by 42 percent. Kansas is 13-2 when winning the first set and 0-8 when losing it. Coach Ray Bechard said the first set was a key for the Jayhawks. "It was crucial to get off to a good start in game one," Bechard said. "To hit .655 is a good way to get it started." "The last time we played them, we felt like we didn't play up to our potential," Kaiser said. KANSAS KANSAS The Red Raiders pushed back in the second set, led by junior Amanda Dowdy who scored 7 kills in the first two sets with an efficiency of .304. Dowdy's 3.99 kills per set average is the fourth-best in the conference. Kansas held a narrow lead through most of the set until Texas Tech jumped ahead at 21-22. Kaiser scored three points in rapid succession to keep the game within one point until a shot by Garlington bounced off of the fingers of a Texas Tech player and up to the ceiling to end the match 28-26. Garlington and Kaiser finished the second set with 11 and 12 kills, respectively, and no attack errors. Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield contributed nine kills and redshirt freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc chipped in four kills with a .429 hitting efficiency.

"We noticed on their film that they left a little hole in the block," Kaiser said. "We connected well with Tate tonight, and the middles didn't close the block, so that's why." The third set was close early on, but Kansas gained the upper hand behind its continued offensive success and blocking by Kaiser, Garlington and Jarmoc. Dowdy led Texas Tech with 13 kills, a solo block and three block assists. Texas Tech freshman Sheridan Burgess and sophomore Miara Cave followed with eight kills apiece. After trailing for most of the set, Texas Tech took a narrow lead at 10-12, only to see Jarmoc and sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree tie the score with back-to-back kills. Jarmoc and Kaiser followed that with back-to-block blocks to give the Jayhawks the lead again, which they kept to the end of the match, winning 25-17. The Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Lawrence on Wednesday for a rematch with Kansas. In their previous meeting, the Jayhawks dropped a four-setter to the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. Jarmoc said the match would be a good opportunity for Kansas. "I think if everybody is at the top of their game, we have a really good chance to beat them," she said.

St.六、to prepare for the upcomming B Moved dance performance. B Moved will be held at 7:30 in the Artvue Arts Center Tickets; are $7 Chris Bronson/KANSAN BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Austin Roberson had to make an unusual decision as a high school freshman: play football or dance. "I had to pick," he said. He had been dancing since he was 11, after his sister's studio needed a Danny for a six-city tour of Grease. And he liked playing football too. But he didn't have time to pursue both. That choice led the sophomore from Silver Lake to a lifelong passion for dancing, a road that will travel through the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., at 7 p.m. tonight. Roberson has been a dancer for almost 10 years, but tonight is his debut as a choreographer. The Point B dance studio, 3115 W. 6th St., is putting on an hour-long show tonight, called "B Moved," featuring the work of seven choreographers, many new like Roberson. Most of the choreographers and dancers - dozens of them - are University students and alumni, but there are also high school seniors, other college students, and other Lawrence residents involved. They will be dancing to a wide range of music, from hip hop and contemporary songs to more lyrical or jazz-based music. frustrated side tonight The show will have 13 pieces that tie small stories into a larger program, one that deals with different stages in life. One piece is about someone dying of cancer, another called "Let It Be" about letting life run its course. Roberson is dancing in seven pieces, and choreographing two of them - one is a simple duet of dancers, but another, called "jar of Hearts," features eight women dancing alongside himself. Roberson dances as a man who goes around consuming love, cheating on people, unable to stop. The women around him are his lovers, who react with varying emotions - perhaps happiness for the end of a poisonous relationship, or anger and jealousy for losing a man. Morgan said it varied from practice to practice, but she thought she would be representing an angry or "He didn't assign emotions to us because he wanted it to be natural," said Julia Morgan, a sophomore from St. Louis dancing in "Jar of Hearts." Courtney Bone, who graduated from the University in May, is also dancing in several pieces, including "Jar of Hearts." She said she liked the natural approach Roberson picked. "If you can dance how you truly feel, you'll give a great performance," he said. Cathy Patterson, the owner of Point B and organizer of "B Moved," said the program is similar to "So You Think You Can Dance" with its modern music and dance styles. Roberson said he wanted to be a dancer for awhile, able to quickly give a for-instance of how his career might go: Lawrence, to Kansas City, to Chicago, to Broadway - "Anything," he said. "I don't want to be here my whole life." He would want to do a little choreography while he dances, but would turn to choreography especially later in his career. "Nobody's going to hire you as a dancer when you're 50," he said. "That's just the honest truth." So he's learning about choreography, not only for his future career, but to help him in his dancing now. He stayed casual with his dancing partners, joking alongside them when the music stopped. Dancers who have worked with him said he's open to their input. But when cor- section or instruction was needed, he wasn't shy. "It doesn't seem like he's never done this before." Bone said. Patterson said she was trying to foster the love of dance in people like Roberson, as well as provide them opportunities to learn. Everyone who talks about the studio emphasizes that it is inclusive and encouraging and that it's fun, not a competition. "Sometimes we have a 45-year-old dancing next to an 18-year-old." Patterson said. "We just want to dance." She said she started her studio three years ago because too many college students who loved dancing as they grew up didn't have anywhere to dance now. Her studio teaches drop-in classes, meaning you only pay for the classes you attend, whenever you have time to attend them. And you have to be 17 to attend a class, so only a handful of high school seniors attend. It's a studio designed for college-aged students with hectic schedules who just love to dance. "We have this vibe," she said. "When people get here, they're drawn to it." The studio presents a company every spring that many of the class-takers participate in, including Roberson, Morgan and Bone. But "B Moved" is the studio's first fall event, and Patterson said she wanted to incorporate more choreographers learning the craft. Morgan said the studio was an amazing place because nobody was judgmental — of each other, or even of a new choreographer working in that role for his first time — which in turn made the dancing more fun. "You can go there and be whoever you want to be," she said. "As long as I'm in Lawrence, I'll be coming back."

Students can get their pictures taken sporting milk mustaches. These funny photos will help promote calcium as a Once people reach their thirties, bone loss begins and continues until the end of the life cycle, Chapman said. That means most students have a very small window of time left during college to make their bones stronger. And odds are, they aren't taking advantage of the little time they have left. According to the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, published in 2009, 39 percent of men and 43 percent of women ages 20 to 29 consume less than one daily serving of dairy products. Brian Andalikiewicz, a junior from Shawnee, admitted that he doesn't get enough calcium in his diet. "I used to when I lived at home with my parents, because they bought milk and stuff like that," Andalkiewicz said. "But now that I live by myself I really don't." Chapman said while dairy products are the best source of calcium, students don't have to drink milk to get the recommended amount, which is 1,000 milligrams per day. Calcium can also be found in some combination foods, such as macaroni and cheese, tacos, cheeseburgers, and cheese pizza. There is also some 24 Students who aren't getting enough calcium don't have to make huge lifestyle changes to make their bones stronger, either. Chapman said if a student visits a restaurant, the foods on the menu that contain cheese or milk would increase their calcium intake for the day. If they make food at home, students could add milk to some recipes in place of water or use cheese as a topping for their food. calcium in leafy greens, canned salmon with bones, almonds, and canned beans. Calcium supplements are also an option for students who don't get enough calcium in their diets. However, Chapman warned that they are not absorbed as well as calcium in food form. She said studies show only about 35 percent absorption with supplements. The Milk Mustache Campaign is happening today at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center from 3 to 5 p.m. Students can pick up handouts on the importance of calcium in their diet, including recipes that use milk. — Edited by Leslie Kinsman POLITICS|3A Wanted: young voters Fewer young voters are expected to visit the polls than during the 2008 presidential election.

A spokesperson for the School of Business said in a Sept. 22 Kansan article that Fuerst's resignation was not related to demands over the summer that Fuerst be fired. Faculty, students and business professionals outside the University are represented on the committee. The search is in response to William Fuerst's Sept. 22 announcement that he will step down in June after 11 years as business dean, the second-longest tenure of any KU business dean. Four MBA students — Andrew Carlson, David Cantrell, Boone Bradley and Tim Metz — called for Fuerst to be removed over concerns about the school's finances. The students wrote to the Kansas Board of Regents in July alleging that scholarships were undertfunded and that the school did not follow its guidelines on using course fees to hire faculty and staff.

The same panel, composed of two judges appointed by President Ronald Reagan and one appointed by President Bill Clinton, on Oct. 20 imposed a temporary hold keeping "don't ask, don't tell" in place. A divided three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the U.S. government's request for a stay while it challenges the trial court's ruling that the ban on openly gay service members is unconstitutional. Monday's decision means gay Americans who disclose their sexual orientations still can't enlist in the armed forces and can be investigated and ultimately discharged. In an eight-page order, two judges said they were persuaded by the Department of Justice's argument that U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Phillips' worldwide injunction against the policy "will seriously disrupt ongoing and determined efforts by the administration to devise an orderly change." "The public interest in enduring orderlychange of this magnitude in the military — if that is what is to happen strongly militates in favor of a stay," Judge Diarmuid F. ity and ignored existing legal precedents when she concluded gays could not serve in the military without having their First Amendment rights breached. Judge William Fletcher entered a partial dissent, saying he would "We continue to warn service members that it is unsafe to come out as long as this law remains on the books." AUBREY SARVIS Servicemembers Legal Defense Network O'Scannlain and Stephen S. Trott wrote in their majority order. We believe that prudence mandates restraint until the final judgment is entered." have preferred the panel had heard oral arguments before granting the stay. Fletcher said he would have prevented "don't ask, don't tell" from being applied to discharge any existing service members while the case was on appeal. Another reason they gave for imposing the freeze was decisions by four other federal appeals courts that cast doubt on whether Phillips exceeded her author- More than 14,000 men and women have been forced to leave the military since "don't ask, don't tell" took affect in 1994. Senate to repeal the law before a new Congress is sworn in. President Barack Obama repeatedly has said he opposes "don't ask, don't tell" but favors ending it legislatively instead of through the courts. Monday's ruling heightens pressure on the Obama administration to persuade the U.S. "Today's decision is a major disappointment, and it underscores the urgent need for the Senate to act this month in the lame duck session to end this confusion and cause the finality that is needed," said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. "We continue to warn service members that it is unsafe to come out as long as this law remains on the books." The court ordered the government to submit brief in its broader appeal by Jan. 24 and gave Log Cabin Republicans, a gay rights group that sued to overturn "don't ask, don't tell" in Phillips's court, until Feb. 22 to reply. It did not schedule oral arguments in the case. f Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.

BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@kansan.com Growing up in Lawrence, Kim Ferguson, a senior, always used the Lawrence Public Library to research projects and to study for exams. Now a college student, she said she still uses the public library rather than the University libraries to check out books because of its friendly atmosphere. Today, Lawrence residents will have the chance to approve an $18 million bond that would be used to completely renovate the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Kathleen Morgan, development director for the Lawrence Public Library, said about $17 million will come from an increase in property tax and the last $1 million will be from private funding through the Lawrence Public Library Foundation. If approved, the bond will allow the library to be expanded by about 20,000 square feet, the amount of parking spaces to almost double and triple the amount of public access computers, plus many more updates. "I think it says a lot when the community is willing to invest in something as important at the library, especially in the aspects of art and education," Morgan said. Morgan said a renovated library will help the downtown area of Lawrence. She said if the library were to be renovated then it would improve the atmosphere of the area, especially for students. Agreeing with Ferguson, Morgan said students use the public library for a unique study area rather than the average academic library students often visit. She said a public library offers a different environment for students. "It's just an alternative, it's not better or worse," Morgan said. "Sometimes I think people are just looking for something different." Morgan said Lawrence has an obligation to take care of its buildings.She said the library is almost 40 years old. "No one has left their home not being improved for 40 years," she said. "So we should treat the library just the same." YES for the Library' steering committee, said when the library was built in 1972, it was serving only 38,000 people and now it serves almost 90,000. "The library is over-crowded, over-stressed," Johnston said. "It has served us well, but it needs expansion." However, not all Lawrence residents agree with the expansion proposal. Dan Schriner, a Lawrence resident, said there was no reason to change the building. He said he believes that $18 mil. sound like its pennies a day but it's not. Schriner said. lion is too much for such a small change. Edited by Michael Bednar "My property taxes are high enough," he said. He said he also believes that there has not been enough input from the public for the amount money the expansion proposal is asking for. "They try to make it LIBRA LAWRENCE PUBLIC "The more enjoyable it is going to be," Morgan said. A YO The Breakdown for the Library Expansion: Cost: $18 million The money will come from an increase in property tax and private funding.

East of Iowa Street is 3rd District. West of Iowa Street is 2nd District. Doberty-Powell, a freshman from Eagan, said she decided not - There are more than 65 voting precinct site locations in Lawrence. For sample ballots or to find out which precinct's polling station you should go to: to vote because she felt unable to make an informed decision. "I haven't really been paying attention to it," she said about the election. "If you're not informed, I don't really think you should vote." Doherty's political apathy is reflective of a much larger trend in this year's election. Although young voters historically pay less attention to midterm elections than voters 30 and older, the gap between younger and older voters this year is double what it was in 2006. Political pundits and pollsters have dubbed it the enthusiasm gap. www.douglas-county.com/depts/cl/ve/ve home.aspx.

When it comes to voter turnout, 45 percent of younger voters said they definitely would vote in this year's elections, compared with 76 percent of older voters — a 31-point gap. In 2006, the gap was 23 points. according to a recent Pew Research survey. ences. The transient lifestyle of most students makes it difficult for them to settle down into a community, said Mark Joslyn, a political science professor and an expert on voting behavior. Students are typically less politically active than their parents and grandparents as a result. Another factor contributing to the widening enthusiasm gap is the media environment surrounding college students, Joslyn said. Although the Internet provides an endless stream of political news, it also provides an infinite number of ways to ignore it. "You guys are growing up in an entirely different media environment than I did," he said. "That should have some consequences. We're just not sure as you get older if you'll grow more interested in politics, or you'll just completely ignore it." Joslyn predicted the former out. come. As individuals grow older, he said, they become more involved in their communities and find it increasingly difficult to ignore political issues, such as taxes and health care. But the constant bombardment of TV ads, rows of yard signs and the 24-hour news cycle made it difficult for college students to entirely ignore the election, said Alex Earles, a senior from Salina and Student Legislative Awareness Board president. He said he remained positive about voter turnout among college students. Joslyn said that a lack of information shouldn't keep students such as Doherty-Powell from voting booths. "Most people have an idea of what party they like to vote," Josyln said. "You should feel free to go in and vote even if you don't know all the things. None of us know all the things." - Edited by Emily McCoy NATIONAL Finding a jury is next step in trying 2002 kidnapping case ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — Nearly every Utah juror questioned on the first day of the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping trial said they knew about the case and believed the man charged was likely responsible. Jury selection began Monday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City for the trial of Brian David Mitchell on charges of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor. If convicted, the 57-year-old Mitchell could spend the rest of his life in jail. The court is trying to winnow a pool of 220 potential jurors to 30 before impaneling a jury of 12, plus alternates. The trial begins more than eight years after Smart was taken from her home at age 14. It is expected to last at least five weeks. Of the 17 potential jurors questioned Monday, all said they had seen media coverage of the case and could recite its various details — from Smart's 2002 knifepoint abduction, to alleged sexual abuses she suffered during nine months of captivity, to her recovery after being found with Mitchell in 2003. Asked by defense attorneys what they believed was "true" about the case, jurors described Smart as being "taken" or "stolen" from her parents. One woman said she thought Mitchell "believed he was doing God's will" when he took Smart and made her his polygamous wife. Defense attorneys argued the answers were proof jurors had predetermined Mitchell's guilt and asked that each of the 17 be dismissed. By day's end, Judge Dale Kimball had retained nine potential jurors — five men and four women — and dismissed eight. The selection process will resume Tuesday. Kimball decided earlier this year that Mitchell was competent to face trial. Mitchell had been diagnosed with a delusional disorder and was twice deemed incompetent for trial in state court. Mitchell watched the proceedings on video from a holding cell in the Salt Lake City federal courthouse after Kimball ordered him removed from the court for singing hymns. Defense attorneys maintain Mitchell is unable to participate in his defense.

If that were a list of trophies for the new movie "127 Hours," which opens Friday, the filmmakers would be overjoyed. In fact, it's a partial tally of people who have collapsed during early screenings of the movie about a real-life hiker who amputated his forearm after a falling boulder pinned his hand in a remote canyon.

But the strong physical and emotional responses generated by "127 Hours" have not only surprised director Danny Boyle and his creative team — they've also presented a delicate marketing challenge for Fox Searchlight, which co-financed and is distributing the $20 million movie. Evidently, that doesn't matter. "I would prefer that people not pass out — it's not a plus," said Stephen Gilula, the studio's copresident. "We don't see a particular publicity value in it." Still, Gilula said the swoons besides the incidents in Telluride, Toronto and Mill Valley, there have been at least eight more at other preview screenings — prove the film's artistic power. "It's the most empathetic experience I've ever seen," he said. The movie opens Friday in limited release, with more cities set to be added in the coming weeks. "127 Hours" stars James Franco as Ralston, who in 2003 was trapped by a falling chockstone in an isolated gully in Utah's wilderness. Having told no one where he was headed and hiking with scant supplies, Ralston knew that if he didn't free himself he would perish from starvation, dehydration or exposure. Five days into his ordeal, Ralston figured out that if he broke the two bones in his right forearm, he would be able to use a dull multi-tool to saw through the flesh, muscles and tendons that bound him to a certain death.

TELEVISION 'The Defenders' popular despite critics' bad reviews The Second City alum and kid brother to John "Joliet lake" Belushi wasn't coy about injecting his love of all things Chicago into the story. In a recent episode of "The Defenders," local viewers got a chance to see Belushi's Chicago-raised character, Nick Morelli, belt out "Bear Down, Chicago Bears." MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE CHICAGO — Leave it to hometown boy Jim Belushi to find a way to work the Chicago Bears fight song into a legal dramedy set in Las Vegas. "You know, I have an influence," Belushi joked during a recent break from filming of the show he called a "courtroom drama on steroids." Chicago, Belushi said, is "where I'm connected, and it's where my sense of humor is rooted. When you draw back on experiences and things, you go back to what you're connected to." The Wheaton, Ill., native's extended return to network television after his eight-year run playing lovable lout Jim Orenthal on ABC's "According to Jim" was uncertain until CBS executives ordered additional episodes of the popular yet critically maligned series. "The Defenders" is averaging about 11 million viewers each week in its 9 p.m. time slot, besting NBC's "Law and Order: Los Angeles," according to the latest Nielsen ratings. JIM BELUSHI Star of "The Defenders" While the show has received some bad press, criticizing it as contrived or uninteresting, Belushi is upfront that he'd much rather be popular than critically acclaimed. "When you draw back on experiences and things, you go back to what you're connected to." "In TV, when you get great reviews, it's a ... death knell," Belushi said, quickly pointing to Fox's critical darling "Lone Star," canceled after only two airings. 1. Belushi's character is a shark with a velvet touch; a wry-smiling, smoothoperating defense attorney who wears his blue-collar background and simple values as well as he wears his fine Italian suits. Belushi's Morelli co-heads a flashy, if slightly bottom-feeding, Vegas law firm with brash, young partner Pete Kaczmarek, played by Jerry O'Connell. "To have 11 million people watch your show when there's 85 critics writing about you. It's like, 'Guys, sorry. I love you. I love how hard you work, but it doesn't matter,' he said. "I'm not looking for you guys' approval." Attorney Michael Cristalli, half of the real-life Las Vegas defense team the show is based on, and the model for Belushi's character, said he was excited with Belushi's portrayal. He and law partner Marc Saggese are frequently on the show set, giving advice to producers and actors. "He's done such an incredible job and I'm thrilled," Cristalli said o' "The guy I'm playing has got great bedside manners and is very charming." Belushi Belushi. "He is the leading force behind the success of the show" said. "From his point of view, your whole job is to win the jury. So everything is a performance." Belushi said the transition from a family sitcom to a drama wasn't difficult." "I've always considered myself an actor, and as an actor, I look at it as a plumber," he said. "I can go in a small house and fix the sink, or I can go in a massive commercial site and lay all kinds of pipes. To me, it's just a different venue, that's all."

If used correctly, condoms make sex safe 98 percent of the time. Typically, however, people make small mistakes or are negligent in storing and handling them, which reduces the guarantee. That's why it's so important to know how to use condoms properly (see 5.) 2. Where do they come from? The first condoms are believed to have been used by Egyptians around 1000 BC. They were made out of linen sheets and were common until the 17th Century, when animal intestines were found to be more comfortable and safer. Goodyear introduced the rubber condom in the 19th Century, but Frederick Killian invented the now common latex condom in 1919. 3. Does one size fit all? They are the most popular, most convenient and oldest contraceptives. Although (hopefully) almost everyone who is sexually active knows what a condom is and has used one, there are some things you might not know about this handy pleasure companion that fits into every pocket or purse. It's time to get some facts in: 1. How safe are condoms? In general, yes. Although the common sizes are standard and XXL, every condom can stretch enough to be used if nothing else is available. But the right size condom is important for the comfort factor. Every brand has a different size and shape, and finding the right one is important for pleasure, so only trying out different types will get you to the perfect fit. 4. What's up with all the different kinds and flavors? Let's Talk about Sex Cristina T. If you visit a store to get condoms, you might have a hard time finding just that. There are too many choices next to the plain transparent ones: lubricated, flavored, ribbed, thin, extra thin, etc. They do not change the purpose of the condom, but they can make sex even a little more interesting. BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI cnwro@ucl.edu Just a quick overview: If the vagina gets dry sometimes or you don't want a long foreplay, try the lubricated. If you use them for oral sex, try the flavored. If she wants more pleasure, try the ribbed (but you may need additional lubricant). If you have a bad sense of direction in the dark, try those that glow in the dark. It's up to you what makes a difference. A lot. Make sure you have read the instructions on the package before you use them. Because four percent of people are allergic to latex, there are other condoms that can be used, for example those made out of polyurethane or lambskin. For the Also remember: Don't use after the expiration date. Don't carry condoms in your pockets or wallets too long. The friction of the material and a warm body can break the condom faster. Don't tear it when opening the package (be careful with nails and teeth!). Don't use it for a second run later. Don't leave it inside after the ejaculation. Don't get too close to the vagina without the condom on. Don't use two condoms at once, even if one is a female condom. They will tear easier instead of making it safer. Don't use oil-based lubricant. Don't use unapproved condoms (in the U.S.: FDA approval; in Europe; look for the CE mark; in other countries: look for an ISO approval). 5. What can you do wrong when using condoms? food-conscious, there are vegan condoms (latex condoms contain lactic protein). The main reason condoms fail to protect is incorrect or negligent use, so that extra care could save you a lot of trouble! And if you're too shy or too likely to meet people when buying condoms, try ordering them online at condomania.com or another site and have them delivered to your door.

GUEST COLUMN Rally strikes a blow for sanity and reason During his keynote address, Jon Stewart reminded the crowd that all Tea Partiers are not racists, all Muslims are not terrorists and that, "if everything is amplified, nothing can be heard." America has not had a traditionally radical political atmosphere, and in today's polarizing world it is important to remember that we are all still working towards the same goals, and that these goals cannot be achieved without compromise. Last Saturday, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held the first-ever "Rally to Restore Sanity/ or Fear" on Washington D.C.S. National Mall. Billed as "a rally for those who have been too busy to go to rallies," the demonstration attracted hundreds of thousands of Americans from all over the country. Many more viewers tuned in online and on television. Although unable to attend in person, this columnist went online to watch the rally. Jon Stewart pointed out early on that, "It does not matter what we say or do today. It matters what is reported about what we said and did today." Hopefully I can do it justice. Mark Zuckerberg. Public figures and media outlets were depicted as the source of unnecessary angst in America, which needs to be countered by citizens. On the eve of a polarizing Election Day, it was inspiring to watch the dueling comedic pundits promote reasonableness in the news and the country as a whole. Jon Stewart stayed true to what he posited as his "motto" leading up to the event, "Take it down a notch, America," while Colbert, appearing in character, provided a humorous counterweight to Stewart's message. The pair also reminded their audience to retain sanity in their own daily lives. Jon Stewart awarded "Medals of Reasonableness" to people such as Armando Galarraga, who was robbed of a perfect game last baseball season by a bad call but did not get angry, instead shaking the umpire's hand and explaining that "nobody is perfect." These awards demonstrated that regular Americans can promote sanity in simple ways on a day to day basis. Colbert awarded honorary "Medals of Fear" to news stations who refused to cover the event for fear of appearing politically biased, including ABC, CBS and "especially NPR." The joke was in fact on these stations, as the rally turned out to be more musical than it was political. The Medal of Fear was accepted, on behalf of the news stations by a 7-year-old girl, who Colbert made a point of saying is far more courageous than NPR. Medals of Fear were also awarded to "Anderson Cooper's tight black t-shirt" and We can all benefit by remembering Jon Stewart's reasonable words, "we live now in hard times, not end times," and retaining perspective on our lives and surroundings. Perhaps then we will be a little bit closer to sanity, for, after all, there is no substitute for sanity. ↑ -UWIRE. Matt Scarano for The Vanderbilt Hustler at Vanderbilt University.

"After some thought we came to the conclusion that we had what it took," said Redlingshafer, a senior from Overland Park. "An eye for design, knowledge on popular trends, access to free mass media publicity, loyal friends and family and an undying determination to create a clothing line that the public would take a liking to" So in March, the E THE REAL clothing brand was born. The brand sells several designer T-shirts, including one with a KU theme. The T-Shirts are sold at home football games and online, and plans to release crew-neck sweatshirts soon.

ODD NEWS Woman sneaks drugs from ill son PITTSBURGH — A woman visiting her terminally ill son at a hospital unhooked his intravenous line, siphoned out a sedative using a syringe she stole from the hospital and injected herself with the drug, authorities said. Karen Remsing, of Vancouver, Wash., also tried to reconnect her 15-year-old son's IV to him, which could have been harmful, police said. Remsing's husband, Richard Remming, told a TV station that he and his son moved to Pittsburgh 10 years ago so the boy could be treated while his wife stayed in Washington to work. He said the boy needs an intestine transplant and is on life support. Workers at UPMC's Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh found Karen Remsing slumped over a couch in her son's room. The workers called police, who said they found used needles in the trash and blood on Remsing's clothes. The hospital has barred Reming from returning. Remsing, 42, was charged with child endangerment and reckless endangerment among other crimes. Associated Press NATIONAL FBI agent reveals bomb plot details ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A detonator was found hidden in the bedroom cabinet of a purported accomplice in the 1998 terrorist bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, a former FBI agent testified Monday at the man's trial. The witness, Gerald Bamel, told jurors in federal court in Manhattan that he made the discovery while still with the FBI and assigned to the investigation in Dar es Salaam. As he dismantled the cabinet inside a suspected hideout used by Ahmed Ghailani and others, he was startled to find himself holding a silver blasting cap. cap. "I dropped it," Bamel said. "I saw that it was a blasting cap, and I was afraid that it would detonate in my hand and blow my hand off." He said he summoned a bomb technician to safely remove the device. Prosecutors allege Ghailani — the first Guantanamo detainee to face trial in a civilian court — was part of an al-Qaida cell that plotted the nearly simultaneous attacks in Tanzania and Nairobi Kenya. The Aug. 7, 1998, bombings killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. 12 Americas. Ghailani, 36, of Tanzania has been accused of helping buy a truck used in the Tanzania blast and purchasing components for explosives. The defense says he was in the dark about the terror plot. The day before the attack, prosecutors say, Ghailani and other plotters fled to Pakistan. Authorities say that while he was on the run, he spent time in Afghanistan as a cook and bodyguard for Osama bin Laden and later as a document forger for al-Qaida in Pakistan. He was captured in 2004 and held by the CIA at a secret overseas camp before being transferred to Guantanamo in 2006. Four other men were convicted in the embassy plot in the same Manhattan courthouse and sentenced to life in prison. Jurors were given Election Day off. Prosecutors say they expect to wrap up their case when the trial resumes on Wednesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS BP now faces a mess of injury claims in wake of Gulf Shore oil spill OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. — Denied claims for Gulf of Mexico oil spill victims are rising dramatically because of a flood of new filings coming in without proper documentation or with no proof at all, the head of the $20 billion BP fund said Monday. Some 20,000 people have been told they have no right to emergency compensation, compared to about 125 denials at the end of September. This is in addition to many others who say they are getting mere fractions of what they've lost, while others are receiving large checks and full payments. In an interview with The Associated Press, claims administrator Kenneth Feinberg denied allegations the process is beset by chaos. He said the claims facility has sent about 30 potentially fraudulent claims to the Justice Department for investigation, and hundreds more are under review. "I disagree about disarray," Feinberg said. "There are discrepancies in claims based on documentation and your ability to demonstrate a connection to the spill and your damage." He said that since Oct. 1, the fund has received thousands of new claims for emergency six-month payments, bringing the total to about 315,000, in an apparent rush to meet a Nov. 23 deadline. After that, residents can only file a claim for a final payment, which would be granted only if they sign away their right to sue BP.

Fishermen who taurants found themselves with few patrons, and hotels were nearly empty during a time when many depend on high-season revenue to carry them through the slow winter months. The well was permanently capped on Sept. 19. "A true emergency claim one would have expected would have come in shortly after Aug. 23," Feinberg said, referring to the date he took over the process from BP. "But two-thirds of the claims have come in since Oct. 1, and (many of) those claims are undocumented." He speculated that some who don't deserve a payment sense a gold rush and are inundating the facility with illegitimate requests The Justice Department last week announced the first criminal charges filed in an oil-spill related case against a Fayetteville, N.C., woman who pretended to be employed by a New Orleans oyster company, according to a federal complaint.

A telephone message left for her federal public defender wasn't immediately returned. A man who answered the phone at Johnson's home said she is in federal custody on the charges. He declined further comment. About 92,000 claimants have been paid or approved for payment as of Oct. 30, amounting to roughly $1.7 billion. The claims facility declined to reveal the total amount requested by the nearly 315,000 people who have now filed. For Gulf coast residents with apparently legitimate claims, the process can be maddening. why they denied me?" said Sheryl Lindsay, an Orange Beach, Ala. wedding planner whose business has plummeted. "Why are they so secretive?" Lindsay sought about $240,000 for lost revenue because of beach wedding cancellations and received a check for just $7,700. She was told, like so many others, she could request additional money in her claim for a final payment, a check that likely won't arrive for months. "Why can't they just explain "I have three weddings booked for next year. That's it. Normally, by this time, I would have 50 on the books," Lindsay said. "I'm at my breaking point.

In doing so, they will also take their first steps toward answering question No. 2. The only candidate for the job who would possibly take over primary ball-handling duties is sophomore Elijah Johnson, who remains something of a mystery to Kansas fans after getting two starts in favor of Tyshawn Taylor in nonconference play last year. Johnson showed flashes of brilliance early in the season, but played almost exclusively in garbage time during the conference season. The first question on Kansas fans' minds right now: Will Josh Selby be declared eligible for the season? The second: If not, who will take his place? Coach Bill Self said Johnson has the talent, but hasn't consistently brought his best game to the floor in game situations. "Elijah, to me, is the one guy I really don't know yet," Self said. "He's really improved. His stroke's improved, he wants to be a player, the commitment's there; but he hasn't done it when the lights are on." COMMENTARY Johnson may be the best pure point guard on the team, more inclined to set up his teammates than score for himself. For evidence, look no further than his zero-point, nine-assist performance against Alcorn State last season. Another potential starter is senior Tyrel Reed, who coach Bill Self has said plays below his athletic ability. Reed has the best vertical on the team, measured at an incredible 42 inches, and is reportedly also the fastest player in a straight line on the Kansas Jerry Wang/KANSAN roster. Reed's ability to spread the floor as an outside shooter makes him a dangerous option for the Jayhawks. "A lot of roles are going to change," he said, "but I think they'll change in a good way." "He'll have a chance to fight for a starting spot and we expect him to be what he's always been for us: a shot-maker, but he's more than a specialist," Self said. "His ballhandling and passing has gotten better to the point where he's more of a complete guard than he has been since he's been here." Senior Brady Morningstar doesn't brings Reed's athleticism to the table, but he may be the cleanest passer. He led the team with a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio (Reed was second at 2.6-to-1), and is the team's best man defender. At the Jayhawks' media day, Morningstar said his role hadn't changed, but that there would be plenty of chances for it to. Perhaps the biggest wildcard is freshman Royce Woolridge, who developed a reputation as a lethal scorer at the high school level. Woolridge had five points, two assists and a rebound in 12 minutes in the Late Night scrimmage "Royce Woolridge has been one of the surprises in practice," sophomore forward Thomas Robinson said. "He gets to the basket at will." Self said he'll wait to see what kind of effect Woolridge could have in the exhibitions, but that he didn't know if Woolridge would be a factor as the season progressed. "We'll play him in the exhibition games and then we'll decide later on if a redshirt would be a possibility," Self said. "He's going to be a guy that really helps our program over time." The talented freshman is considered a legitimate candidate to take a redshirt this year, but is allowed to play in exhibitions before the season. Any upperclassmen who might take a redshirt — Self said Conner Teahan is the only candidate — lose that possibility if they play in exhibitions. "A lot probably depends on Josh Selby's situation," Self said, "but Rovce is coming along nicely." Robinson, a close friend of Johnson's, said the emphasis on starting was too much. "The work ethic of our whole team should be that we're all going to start," he said. "Because when we come in the game, we have to produce just as much as them." - Edited by Emily McCoy MEN'S BASKETBALL Slim pickings for post players BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com The Jayhawks will be thin in the backcourt because of injuries when they start exhibition play tonight against Washburn. Sophomore center Jeff Withey is still recovering from a broken foot in late September. Coach thought that Withey remove a hernia on Oct. 21, junior forward Markieff Morris will be able to play. "He may not play 30 minutes, but he'll play." Self said. would have been 100 percent and up to full speed yesterday, but Self said that he has at least another week or two before he is healthy. "Sitting out, redshirting; it's tough. Now my chance is here, it'll be fun." "He needs the reps as much as anybody," Self said. "Missing practice at this time of the year is like missing like all your two-a-days in football." W he n Morris and Withey aren't on the court, Self will be able to look at guards — senior Mario Little and sophomore Travis Releford — at MARIO LITTLE Senior guard Despite having surgery to the power forward position. Self said Releford has been at the four at about 40 percent and Little at about 70 percent. He, however, doesn't look at position numbers because Little could be on the court with both Markieff and junior forward Marcus Morris. Both Little and Releford redshirted last season after playing in 2008-2009, but that doesn't mean that they've been sitting on the bench. "Sitting out, redshirting; it's tough." Little said. "Now my chance is here, it'll be fun." "They were on the court the whole time last year, but they didn't play in the games." Self said. However, Little can't remember that last time he suited up for the Jayhawks. Both Little and Releford are eager to get back on the court for a game that counts. His last game was in the Sweet 16 against Michigan State in 2009 when Kansas lost 67-62. Little played seven minutes and scored two points. Releford's last game was in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament when he played one minute versus Dayton in the Second Round. Releford says his defense has gotten better and that is what he is priding himself on this season. "People have been judging us about being a fast team this year so we are going to use our athleticism to try and get points off that," Releford said. or war new stud but w hael ednar Edited by Michael 11 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Junior forward Marcus Morris puts up a shot during the men's basketball team scrimmage at Late Night in the Phog.

Fieldhouse an escape from reality BY MAX VOSBURGH mvosburgh@kansan.com Jorge Pascual it's basketball season. Those three words are used like a security blanke Does that sound crazy? Probably a little, but for some people that's the reality of it. After all, you do have to be a little crazy to sit on a hard floor inside Allen Fieldhouse for days waiting for your escape into the world of Jayhawk basketball. around this campus. If something bad happens, such as this year's football season, students attempt to seek comfort in those three words. And in a way, Allen Fieldhouse can become like another world where you can escape and forget about what's happening in your own personal life. Tonight the Jayhawks take on the Ichabods of Washburn University in their first exhibition game, and finally students who are looking for some joy in their lives will be able to find relief in Allen Fieldhouse. If you're a freshman or only a casual sports fan and have never been to a game in Allen Fieldhouse before, I strongly encourage you to go and give it a try. There's a reason why basketball at Kansas is so famous. The team is good, the fans are great and the atmosphere is one of a kind. Exhibition games will be the perfect chance to try out Kansas basketball if you're a newbie, too. There were around 10 camping groups already in line at 6 a.m. Monday. For Big 12 conference games, there can be anywhere between 40 to 100 groups a the first chance to begin camping. That makes it very difficult for anyone who isn't in a camp ing group to get a good seat. Exhibition games aren't only good for the players to get warmed up for the season, but for new fans, too. Camping is an efficient way for students to line up for the game, but it sounds complicated when I could try and explain it but that would take too long and you may still not understand. So tonight, get there early and see for yourself how camping works. In fact, I would recommend just walking down to Allen Fieldhouse any down to Allen Fieldhouse any time today and talking to some of the campers in line. You may be lost trying to jump in the camping process in the middle of the season. the middle of the season. One thing is for sure: if you make it there tonight you'll know what I mean when I say that attending basketball games at Kansas can be like an escape from reality.

Family mourns killed videographer BUFFALO GROVE, III. — Hundreds celebrated the short, bright life of Declan Drumm Sullivan with Irish song and Catholic tradition Monday, five days after the 20-year-old died while videotaping a Notre Dame University football practice. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Family members "have let go of fear and anger and emotions", said Sullivan's uncle, Michael Miley, who described the theme of the funeral service as one of "It was beautiful and soaring." he said. Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly and two busloads of college students attended the funeral at St. Mary Church in Buffalo Grove, where Sullivan had gone to school as a child. He graduated from Carmel High School in Mundelein, Ill., which also sent a bus filled with students to the standing-room-only service. service. Speakers included Sullivan's sister, a Notre Dame student Miley said. The funeral also featured a choir and Irish performances, said Miley, the family spokesman. "We hope over the next few days, weeks and months that people in the community will heal as we are beginning to do." Miley said. Sullivan, of Long Grove, Ill., was in an aerial scissor lift recording video footage of a football practice during a strong wind advisory when the lift toppled onto the street. Indiana's Occupational Safety and Health Administration said the death has been classified as a workplace fatality. Investigators will look into whether the lift was being operated safely, including whether it should have been used in 33-mph winds with gusts of 51 mph, officials have said. Sullivan, a junior with a double major in marketing and film, enjoyed writing music reviews for Notre Dame's student newspaper. On Wednesday, he was working for the university's athletic department when taping the football practice.

Vikings coach Brad Childress informed his players Monday morning at a team meeting that Moss would not remain with the team. An NFL source said Monday that Moss had not been placed on waivers, but the transaction was expected to happen Tuesday. Teams would then have 24 hours to put in a claim for Moss. He would be awarded to the team with the worst record that put in a claim. The decision to release Moss came a day after the Vikings lost to the Patriots, 28-18, in Foxboro. After the game, Moss delivered a rambling five-minute monologue in which he heaped lavish praise on the Patriots organization. "I miss them guys, man. I miss the game," he said of the Patriots, who traded Moss for a third-round pick in 2011. "It was hard for me to come here and play. Been an up-and-down roller coaster emotionally all week. And then to be able to come in here and see those guys running plays that I know what they're doing, and the success they had on the field, the running game so I kind of know what kind of feeling they have in their locker room, man, and I just want to be able to tell the guys that I miss the hell out of them. Every last helmet in that locker room, man." Patriots coach Bill Belichick declined to say whether he would put in a claim for Moss, or whether hed sign him as a free agent if Moss went unclaimed and cleared waivers. players in the league or any other transactions or anything like that," Belichick said. Asked hypothetically if Moss cleared waivers, Belichick replied, "If the moon were made of Swiss cheese ... You know I can't comment." "You know I can't comment on the status of any of the other The Vikings lost three of the four games in which Moss played. He had only one catch for 8 yards against the Patriots. In his four games, he had only 13 catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Before being traded, Vikings quarterback Brett Favre had lobbied the team to acquire Moss. Moss never turned into the deep threat the Vikings had envisioned. His longest catch went for 37 yards. Childress didn't tell reporters about the move when he met with the media Monday morning. Asked whether he regretted making the trade for Moss, Childress said "not at present." "I'm definitely down that we lost this game. I didn't expect wed lose this game." Moss said Sunday. "I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. You out.'" Childress said he didn't see Moss' remarks as "incendiary." The closest he came to criticizing him was when he admitted Moss could have caught a pass that fell incomplete in the end zone. The Patriots were called for pass interference on the play. "But again, I don't know," Childress said. "He was restricted. If they called pass interference, there had to be some kind of restriction." Asked whether he thought Moss had been playing hard, Childress said, "He's playing hard when he needs to play hard." ) KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2010 / SPORTS 3B KANSAS KU Coach Turner Gill walks out with the team from the locker rooms onto the field before the game Saturday against Iowa State. The Jayhawks lost to the Cylones 28-16. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Despite rough first season.

The move was a shock to fans and media alike, as Perkins announced in the summer that he would remain at the helm of KU Athletics until September 2011. Finishing the season with at After a middling FCS team stunned coach Turner Gill in his Kansas debut on Sept. 4, he faced another cold, hard reality three days later. Lew Perkins, the man who hired Gill in December 2009, formally resigned as director of athletics. "Those are things I have no control over," Gill said of the AD hire.

After opening the season 2-2. Gill has lost four straight games in the Big 12. With a matchup against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday, Gill said he doesn't have time to worry about who the next athletic director will be. The timing of the resignation added fuel to the TURNER GILL Football coach "I have confidence in the administration to give us time to accomplish what we're trying to do here." fire of speculation across campus and in the media regarding Gill's performance in week one. His biggest hire while at Kansas was probably looking for support after the bad loss. Perkins had none to offer. Instead he took his $2 million settlement check and left the spotlight, leaving Gill to deal with the media scrutiny and dis- Mark Mangino, the University Athletic budget is in no position to shell out an additional $8 million to bring in another coach. Critics will have to wait patiently while Gill settles in. Still implementing his system and yet to have a full recruiting class of his own, Gill said he just hopes to see improvements every week from his players. When Lew Perkins hired Gill in December, he didn't include a buyout for the $10 million, 5-year deal. Kansas Athletics would have to pay Gill the remaining $8 million if it decided to fire him after this season. With the money paid to Perkins and the buyout money still being paid to former coach read the fine print of his contract. "I know we are making progress here, particularly in the last two ball games," Gill said. After leading Iowa State at halftime last Saturday and only losing by 12 (as opposed to 48, 52 and 35 the previous three weeks), the team showed some signs of improving in the running game and pass rush, running for 119 yards while grabbing two more sacks, bringing the season sack total to eight. No matter what happens against Colorado or the following three games to end the season, Gill said he believes he will have enough time in Lawrence to carry out his plans. Wouldn't "Stars" and "Stripes" fit the bill? "We believe in what we are trying to accomplish," Gill said. "We're still trying to get the right players in the right place, and I have confidence in the administration to give us time to accomplish what we're trying to do here." "Not bad." Delany replied. "Good suggestion. It's there with everything else." Delany set an original goal of Dec. 1 to unveil the names, plus a new logo that will reflect the Edited by Anna Nordling 12-team Big Ten. But last week he said he might need an extra 60 days. I asked readers last week to suggest division names. More than 60 of you did, and all I can say is: Wow, this ain't easy. Many ideas still contained names from Big Ten folklore ("Grange" and "Griffin", "Berwanger" and "Stagg") or stubbornly pushed for a geographical flavor ("Great Lakes" and "Prairie", "Rust Belt" and "Grain Belt"), despite the league's reluctance to use either geography or the names of legendary coaches or athletes that represent just two schools. The majority were serious, including "Caps" and "Gowns"; "Thunder" and "Lightning"; "Victory" and "Triumph" and "Rose" and "Thorn."

The Giants won 3-1 to capture the World Series ARLINGTON, Texas — The prize that eluded Willie and Barry at long last belongs to the San Francisco Giants, thanks to a band of self-described castoffs and misfits and their shaggy-haired ace. 2021 Tim Lincecum, Edgar Renteria and the Giants won the World Series on Monday night, beating the Texas Rangers 3-1 in a tense Game 5 and taking the trophy home to the city by the Bay for the first time. Brian Wilson closed for a save, completing a surprising romp through the postseason for a pitching-rich team that waited until the final day to clinch a playoff spot. It was an overdue victory — the Giants last wore the crown in 1954, four years before they moved West. So much for a franchise that never quite got it done in October despite the likes of baseball giants Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and Juan Marichal. It's November, and now new stars stand tall in San Francisco. Lincecum outdueed Cliff Lee in an every-pitch-matters matchup that was scoreless until Renteria, the Series MVP, hit a stunning three-run homer with two outs in the seventh inning. Nelson Cruz homered in the bottom half, but Lincecum returned to his wicked self and preserved the lead. Manager Bruce Bochy enjoys calling his Giants a ragtag bunch. Maybe Cody Ross, Aubrey Huff and Freddy Sanchez fit that description. But the foundation of this club — for now, for the foreseeable future — is totally home grown, built on a deep, talented and young rotation, a rookie Lincecum won this game of Texas Hold'em, beating Lee for the second time in a week. The two-time NL Cy Young winner gave up three hits over eight innings and struck out 10. catcher with huge star potential and their bearded closer. Associated Press Renteria reprised his role of postseason star. His 11th-inning single ended Game 7 of the 1997 World Series and lifted Florida over Cleveland. Forget that he made the last out in the 2004 Series that finished Boston's sweep of St. Louis — this journeyman's path led to another title, helped by his go-ahead home run in Game 2. A team seemingly free of egos did everything right to take the lead. Ross, the surprising MVP of the NL championship series, stayed square and hit a leadoff single and Juan Uribe followed with another hit up the middle. San Francisco posted a trio of one-run wins in the opening round that sent Atlanta manager Bobby Cox into retirement, then stopped the two-time defending NL champion Phillies in the championship series. Those wins, like this came on the road. In the Year of the Pitcher, the World Series proved the oldest adage in the game: Good pitching stops good hitting, every time. Linceum and the team with the That put a runner at second base for the first time in the game and brought up Huff, who led the Giants in home runs this year. So what did he do? He expertly put down the first sacrifice bunt of his career. Exactly when these Giants turned into world beaters is hard to say. Trailing San Diego by $ 7 \frac{1}{2} $ So clang the cable car bells. Loudly, too. Baseball's best play in the Bay. Come the playoffs, they became dangerous. Any well-armed team is. Start with Matt Cain — three postseason starts, a 0.00 ERA.

Add Madison Bumparner, the 21-year-old rookie who helped blank Texas in Game 4. games in the NL West on July 4, they meandered in the wild-card race until the stretch run, winning the division and finishing 92-70. The Giants won their previous title when they played in New York at the Polo Grounds. That's where Mays raced back for perhaps the most famous catch of all time. They moved West in 1958 and had tried ever since to escape a sort of big league Alcatraz — the place where teams get stuck for decades as also-rans. The Red Sox and White Sox got free, not so the Cubs and Indians. And just like that, all the Giants' past troubles seemed like ancient history. best ERA in the big leagues completely shut down Josh Hamilton and the club with the majors' top batting average. Lee struck out Pat Burrell to keep the runners put, but Ross began hopping home as soon as Renteria connected, sending a drive that kept sailing and landed over the left-center field wall. Texas became the latest Series newcomer to make a quick exit. Houston (2005) and Colorado (2007) got swept in their first appearances, Tampa Bay (2008) stuck around for just five games. The AL champion Rangers became the first team since 1966 to get shut out twice in a World Series, with big hitters Hamilton, Vladimir Guerrero and Cruz left taking half-swings or flailing wildly. The Rangers' franchise wrapped up its 50th season overall, seemingly in good hands with Nolan Ryan as president and part-owner. If only Big Tex could teach his team to hit, too. The Giants earned their sixth title overall.

The Colts won 30-17. Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning got Indianapolis' make-shift offense chugging like its old self Monday night. The four-time league MVP threw for two touchdowns, then watched Mike Hart run for a career-high 84 yards and Jacob Tamme score his first career TD to help Indy get past Houston 30-17. The victory allowed the Colts (5-2) to get even in the head-to-head series with Houston (4-3) and gave the defending AFC champions sole possession of the South Division lead for the first time this season. And even though the Colts were missing All-Pro tight end Dallas Clark, receiver Austin Collie and running back Joseph Addai with injuries, Manning and his teammates didn't miss a beat. "Whoever's in there has to find a way to do the job. It's not always going to be pretty, but we've just got to keep grinding and making some plays," Manning said. Manning went 26 of 45 for 268 yards. Hart ran with the same determination he used to become Michigan's career rushing leader and provided the Colts with a rare ground game, and Tamme, Clark's replacement, caught six passes for 64 yards. But it wasn't just the new guys making plays — or only the offense. Indy's defense put consistent pressure on Houston quarterback Matt Schaub, too. Reggie Wayne caught a touchdown pass, Manning ran for a first down for the first time in nearly two years, and even became the lead blocker on a first-down catch-and-run by Pierre Garcon in the third quarter. That's how important Monday's game was to the Colts. "It's a big win and we needed it," Tamme said. Texans in the second as defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis applied pressure. Indy had three sacks. The louder-than-normal crowd created problems for Schaub hearing play calls on his helmet radio, barking out signals to teammates, and even trying to make plays. The 2009 NFL leader in yards passing finished the half 5 of 15 for 37 yards with one interception and a rating of 14.6. Schaub was better in the second half, finishing 22 of 38 for 201 yards with one TD. But the damage was already done. Schaub struggled horribly in the first half and couldn't rally the "What a great job of playing hard and coming back," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. "When bad things happen to them, they don't take it lightly." The Colts made sure more bad things wouldn't happen Monday night. The Colts went 78 yards on their second series, getting a 2-yard TD pass from Manning to Tamme to make it 7-0. On the second play of the second quarter, the maligned defense gave Indy the play it desperately needed. Kelvin Hayden jumped in front of Kevin Walter, picked off Schaub's pass on the dead run and sprinted 25 yards to make it 14-0.

BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com TOPEKA — Kansas Republicans have much to look forward to after an overwhelming victory in Tuesday's midterm elections, which included the election of the state's first Republican governor in eight years. Sam Brownback won the gubernatorial election with 63 percent of the vote, 30 percentage points more than Tom Holland, the Democratic candidate.

This is the second consecutive year that the two groups are hosting the Lawrence Veteran's Day 5K Run. The race is scheduled for Nov. 13, and is set to begin in front of the Burge Union at 8:30 a.m. Runners who register before the day of the race at register@active.com pay $15. Runners who register on the day of the race pay an additional $5 late fee. Aaron Razak, a junior from Hayes, served in the Air Force from 2004 to 2009 and was deployed twice. Now, he is coordinating the race to give the community a chance to give service members encouragement. "You don't have to support the war to support the people that serve." Razak said. Game Dog Gaurdian, an organization that helps combat dogfighting practices, is helping to host the run. The Kansas City Marching Cobras, which helps foster developmental skills of underprivileged children in the Kansas City area, will attend the race. The Lawrence Police Department plans to block off some of the roads near the University to create a route for the runners, though the specific locations haven't yet been determined. The first 200 runners to sign up will receive a T-shirt. Top finishers will win trophies or other small prizes. Every runner will receive free water and fresh fruit, which will be donated by the University Dining Services. The real prize, in Razak's opinion, is something different: the chance to give back to those who have served the country. "These guys have been through a lot, and we want people to know no one has forgotten about them."

Among students, the discrepancy between the turnouts in 2006 and this year was even more dramatic. Jamie Stew, a Douglas County clerk said. "We know the turnout among students is a lot less than the previous gubernatorial election," Stew said. Stew contributed the low student turnout to similarly weak campaigns geared toward young people. Jessica Brooks, a junior from Pleasanton, said she noticed that there wasn't much talk about the election on campus this fall and that she was disappointed by the lack of political enthusiasm. Douglas County Commission "There is always a lot more hype for the presidential election," Brooks said. "It's a flaw of the system." Phillip Wrigley, a 2008 KU graduate, helped operate polls at the Burge Union yesterday. He said he thought the biggest challenge that student voters face was a lack of knowledge, both about politics and about the voting process. "It's a whole ballot," Wrigley said. "Probably most students have only heard of four of the questions on there." Wes Gapp, a graduate student from Clinton, N.Y., and Laci Garhart, a graduate student from Hutchinson, Kan., fill out information before voting early Tuesday morning at Plymouth Congressional Church. Plymouth Congressional Church, at Ninth and Vermont streets, was one of more than 60 polling places in Lawrence. However, Wrigley said that when students weren't familiar with an issue, they depend on other factors such as name recognition. "That's a good thing because it makes the process very accessible," Wrigley said. Although the turnout may have been lower this year, there were still students turning up at the polls. Aaron Dopf, a graduate student from Lawrence, said that he knew many people who voted. "Most of my friends already have the sticker on," Dopf said. Kelly Stroda contributed to this story.

JOHN KAYMALDEN KU College Republicans chairwoman Ashley Moretti, a junior from Wichita, claps in approval of a speech given by Lynn Jenkins, the newly elected congresswoman for Kansas' second congressional district, at the Republican watch party in the Sunflower Room of the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka Tuesday night. Moretti and other members of the KU College Republicans, who also attended the watch party, expressed their approval and excitement for the Republican party's "clean sweep" of Kansas in this year's elections. GOP (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "It's a plan to move forward, Brownback s#d. "We campaigned on the 'Road Map.' We won on the "Road Map." We will govern on the 'Road Map." Brownback said he would work early in his term to freeze the state budget, review state business regulations and release a strategic economic development plan. He said tough times still lay ahead. "It's a difficult time for many Kansas families," he said. "Jeff and I promise you an energetic administration with the government serving the people, not the other way around." Brownback will officially replace Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson on January 10, 2011. "We've been waiting for a long time," said Ashley Moretti, president of KU College Republicans and a junior from Wichita. "We're just happy to have a Republican governor that can move away from the Obama agenda." As many polls predicted, Republicans reclaimed a majority in the House of Representatives. As of 2 a.m., they had picked up 58 seats in the election, 19 more than the 39-seats threshold needed to take back the House. Hundreds of Republican supporters eagerly awaited the official election results inside the Sunflower Room at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka. Seven members of KU College Republicans, who made the 30-minute drive from Lawrence to attend the watch party, said they were excited when the results were finally announced. "I just think that this is a statement," said Katelyn Derus, a sophomore from Elm Grove, Wis and a member of the KU College Republicans. "Two years ago, no one would see this happen." "Kansas is an naturally Republican state," said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics. "Couple that then with the fact that there's a huge Republican trend nationally and Kansas doesn't really become unique." - Edited by Dana Meredith ELECTION Republican Kobach defeats incumbent TOPEKA, Kan. — A professor who helped write Arizona's new immigration law has been elected Kansas secretary of state.

He advocates requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls. The secretary of state is Kansas' top elections official. But some voters supported Kobach because as a law professor, he's advised cities and states, including Arizona, about cracking down on illegal immigration. Biggs was appointed secretary of state in March to fill a vacancy. Voters amended the Kansas Constitution on Tuesday to remove language allowing the Legislature to prohibit voting by people with mental illness. TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas Legislature no longer has the Associated Press Protection for voters with mental illness authority to deny voting rights to the mentally ill.

It could just as easily fall flat on its face. "Removing the physical controller takes away a major piece of context from the experience," said Noah Wardrip-Fruin, an associate professor of Computer Science While Nintendo's motion-sensing Wii changed the way we use controllers, Microsoft's Kinect completely removes the need to hold a controller for its Xbox 360 games. But with that potential comes some very big problems, according to experts on digital media and user interface. at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he co-directs the Expressive Intelligence Studio, one of the world's largest technical research groups focused on games. "If I hand you something with buttons, you know you're supposed to press the buttons. So the game has to do more work to tell me what to do, and give me feedback if I'm doing it wrong, if there's no physical controller. "But along with that extra burden comes new power. Moving our bodies in different ways conveys attitudes and emotions — and there's evidence it helps us feel them as well. We could become involved in games in a whole new way." Kinect uses a set of cameras and microphones packed into a single rectangular piece of plastic resting over or under your TV to watch and listen to the player. It then translates that data into controls for motion-based games like bowling, kickball and dancing. "The user interface is the most important part of any experience," said Kinect Creative Director Kudo Tsunoda. "It is the entire way you are interacting with anything you do. It is as important as your five senses are to human beings interacting with the world. I think this is why people are so excited about Kinect. It is a fundamentally new way of interacting with your games and entertainment. It is a new way to play. And this gives consumers and the makers of entertainment an entirely new palette of toys to play with." But while Kinect promises to "make you the controller," that doesn't necessarily mean that the experience will be easier or more immersive than using the traditional Xbox 360 controller, the Wii remote or the PS3 Move.

ELECTRONICS Windows fanboy weighs in on Apple-Microsoft fight My interest in the subject was far greater than his and the conversation moved on to other topics. To a large extent, I still believe what I said to be the case, and my thoughts on that were reaffirmed by an article I read on CNN. This article, by David Goldman titled "Microsoft is a dying consumer brand," says exactly what you would expect from the headline - that consumers are no longer interested in Microsoft's products. It talks about how Microsoft has been late to the game in so many technical areas that are currently revolutionizing how people use technology - phones, search engines, browsers. ly g I can see this in my everyday life. As an adamant Windows Technically Speaking fan-boy (only in opposition to Mac), I still love and use Apple's iPhone, Google's search engine, and Mozilla's Firefox or Google's Chrome Web browsers. BY DAVID CAWTHON dcawthon@kansan.com As for Apple potentially stepping up to take Microsoft's place as a near-monopoly technology provider, every day at the University of Kansas I see people using Mac laptops and iPhones and iPads and iPods. And maybe I see all of this because I'm on a college campus, where people have more disposable income to spend on such expensive items. However, comparing Apple and Microsoft's year-to-date stock prices with each other, I can see a trend. Apple's stocks have increased 44.46 percent, compared to Microsoft's decrease of 14.63 percent. So does this mean that consumers are rejecting PCs in favor of Macs? I certainly think they are. Let's face it. For the average user, Macs are far easier to use, much more stable, less prone to viruses and they're sleek and cool looking. The PC vs Mac debate isn't Microsoft's only problem, though. As Goldman says in his article, Microsoft has simply not kept up with its competition in the important areas consumers are interested in.

AND HERE'S MY ATTACHMENT EXEMPTING CHAD, CONGO, YEMEN, AND SUDAN. I'M HAPPY TO SIGN THE CHILD SOLDIER PROTECTION ACT! SIGNING STATEMENTS AT WORK NICOLAS SAMBALUK WikiLeaks document drop reveals much in face of war The release of nearly 400,000 confidential Iraq war documents on Oct. 22 by the WikiLeaks website revealed a startling image of the secret history of the war in Iraq. The documents contain details of events reported by the United States military and provide evidence of systematic torture and rape used as weapons of warfare. Sixty percent of the deaths registered in the documents are civilian. Supporters of the whistleblower website contend the documents contain information the public deserves to know. According to the documents, as many as 15,000 Iraqi civilian deaths were previously unaccounted for. Critics argue the release of this sensitive information will jeopardize US military operations and be used by opposition forces to seek out and kill Iraqi civilian informants working with the US military. The documents reveal the use of indiscriminate and disproportionate force used and condoned by the US military. They also raise substantial questions concerning war crimes. To be fair, the files document the Iraq war during a time Obama was not president, but that doesn't excuse him from failing to hold the Bush administration accountable. Secrets and lies are what paraded the US into the war in Iraq. The When President Obama was elected, he promised to conduct his administration with transparency. The amount of secrets revealed within the documents WikiLeaks released flies in the face of such promises. - It is difficult to justify a war waged under false pretenses. It is also tough to support a war effort that tolerates torture and civilian murder and gives private contractors free reign. Julian Assange is the spokesperson and editor in chief for the WikiLeaks website. As would be expected, he is receiving a great deal of flak for releasing the Iraq documents. In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, a former Rand Corporation employee, released Department of Defense documents that detailed the United States political military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967. The documents became known as the Pentagon Papers and indicated, among other things, that the Johnson administration had systematically lied to the public and to Congress. The publication of the papers caused a national outcry for government transparency and accountability. The WikiLeaks files are important for the historical record as primary documentation of the many mishandlings of a complicated war. It appears the media is more concerned with attacking Julian Assange than with discussing the issue of human rights the documents raise. Shouldn't he be considered a champion of truth and democracy? Don't the people have a right to know about the sort of devastation and destruction that is happening in their name, with their tax dollars? WikiLeaks files reveal that secrets and lies have only prolonged that war. An Army whistleblower, Spc. Bradley Manning, is currently in custody. He is suspected for leaking thousands of Iraq war documents to WikiLeaks. The Obama administration has brought as many prosecutions for leaks to the American public as all previous administrations combined. Granted, it is a small number — three — but it is still important to note. The administration is also threatening to use the Espionage Act to prevent further leaks. If that happens, the American public will know even less about the destruction that is happening in their name. WikiLeaks is trying to pull the wool out of the eyes of a world that prefers to live in the dark. Today, the socio-political For a democracy to function as a true democracy, the governing body must live up to the public's expectation of transparency and accountability. Wikileaks is providing information the United States government was expected, but failed to provide. landscape is much different. On the other hand, some media sources commend the website for its courage and goodwill comment of being unsurprised by the lack of government honesty. There is no palpable call to action or demand for accountability. Instead the politically discontent shrug their shoulders and brush off the failure of military responsibility. — From UWIRE, by Stephen Bartholomew, The Independent Collegian, University of Toledo LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Oral contraceptives Letter was misleading the pill does not cause abortions We, the Commission on the Status of Women would like to address the recent letter to the editor concerning oral contraceptives. We feel the response to the original article was misleading and inaccurate. First we would like to clarify that oral contraceptives do not cause abortion. The term "abortifacient" is used politically, not medically. Oral contraceptives do not cause abortion as defined by the National Institute of Health, but prevent pregnancy. The author also erroneously leads the reader to believe that contraceptives cause permanent infertility. Contraceptives do not cause infertility. They temporarily suspend ovulation, and thus prevent pregnancy, but this is not a permanent state. When a woman discontinues her usage, she will be become fertile again. Like any medication, birth control affects every woman differently. For women who may be at an increased risk for blood clots and stroke, their medical provider should advise them on the best course of action. Contraceptives have many medical benefits, including regulating the menstrual cycle, treating acne, and relieving pain. Contrary to the author's statement that these symptoms are signs of more serious health disorders, this is not often the case, and we believe it is irresponsible of her to suggest that this is the norm. The advent of oral contraception was not only a medical advancement, but an important social advancement for women. The availability of oral contraception in the United States created an unprecedented expansion of women's reproductive freedom, allowing all women not only sexual freedom but the ability to plan their reproductive futures. The Commission on the Status of Women believe that reproductive choice is a woman's right, and that the misrepresentation of facts surrounding this issue is more a detriment to women's health than contraception will ever be. -The KU Commission on the Status of Women is a campus organization that focuses on gender discrimination. The president is Liz Stuewe. Sexual conservatives cannot have their cake and eat it, too As a woman who has been on the Pill for over two years, Patricia Huber's Nov. 1 letter offended me. I respect a push for natural solutions to reproductive problems, but many of her claims are both incorrect and offensive. Though recent studies have indicated that nearly 30% believe using the Pill causes infertility there is no medical evidence to support it. The pills have considerably fewer hormones in them in contrast to their older counterparts, making them safe for women who wish to eventually conceive. While the Pill poses risks for women such as blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes, these side effects and risks are explicitly stated in birth control ads and again in directions and additional information that come with each pack. Much like surgery and other medications, people consent to these risks when they begin taking them. While much of Huber's information is incorrect, my problem lies mainly with her last paragraph in which she says that she should not have to pay for women who take a medication just so that they can "engage in voluntary behavior for which they are not willing to accept the consequences" As a supporter of safe sexual exploration and experimentation, I find her tone insulting because the point of most women taking the Pill is to not face consequences at all. For this reason, I'd rather pay for a woman's birth control than for her children. To put it into perspective, a month of birth control pills costs about 15 dollars after insurance. A month of Pampers diapers would cost 84. Finally, sexual conservatives cannot have their cake and eat it too; they oppose several forms of contraception yet are unrealistic about the risks we take without them. Being on the Pill doesn't make women deviant. It makes us responsible for our sex lives, and we deserve more credit than we're given. Rachel Keith is a junior from Wichita.

"At first it was hard to say what I meant." Li said. "My English has improved a lot since I got here." Li attributes much of his improved speaking ability to conversation groups he attends that are held by the Applied English Center. "After class I can study English by watching a movie or reading a book," Li said. "But I like to come here and talk about topics. It's very fun." The groups, which are open to non-native English speakers, meet five days a week in the Hawk's Nest at the Kansas Union. The groups are run by different discussion leaders who talk to the students about topics ranging in everything from the definition of "booty call" to political tensions around the world. "We talked about Tiananmen Square last time," said Arica Maurer, a junior from Overland Park who helps out with the groups. "It was really interesting hearing the Chinese perspective on it. It's so different." In addition to helping international students practice their English-speaking skills, the program seeks to help acclimate its participants to American culture. "A lot of students will come here after seeing a movie and have a really romanticized version of what the U.S. should be," said Chris Armstrong, a senior from Lawrence. "They'll come to Kansas expecting it to be like New York, and that's obviously not the case." The program helps students understand their surroundings more by taking them on weekend field trips to places like Worlds of Fun or, more recently, a tour of farms in areas around Lawrence. The farm tour was very popular," said Rachel Crist, a program administrator with AEC. "A lot of the students will go into the city for the weekend and not really get the opportunity to experience what farm life is like." As a whole, the program hopes to help students reach their English speaking goals. International students make up four percent of the University's undergraduate enrollment and 7.5 percent of the graduate enrollment. are enthusiastic. "I think students are just really attracted to all that we are offering to them," Crist said. "We had one student who was able to jump three levels in English just by coming and practicing every day." Edited by Clark Goble ELECTION Moran cruises to Senate seat over first-time Democratic candidate ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas voters sent U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran to the Senate with a huge victory margin Tuesday night, something his fellow Republicans had expected in arace against an articulate but little-known, first-time Democratic candidate. 1234567890 Moran Moran's win over Democrat Lisa Johnston, a college administrator. fit with the Republican nominee's status in the GOP-leaning state. Kansas hasn't elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932. Also, Moran easily tapped into many voters' discontent with President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats over the economy and the new federal health care law. "I'm humbled," Moran told The Associated Press by phone from Hays, where he and his supporters were celebrating his victory. "With success tonight comes great responsibility as we try to turn this country around." Moran, 56, also has a folksy; approachable image built with hundreds of town hall meetings as a congressman. He's represented the sprawling 1st Congressional District of central and western Kansas since 1997. "Jerry's been around for a long time, so you see what he's saying, and his town halls, they've been around for a long time," Michelle Hoferer, a 51-year-old Topeka resident and project manager for a company that fabricates limestone, said after voting at a Topeka nursing home. Moran will replace U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, a Republican who opted to give up the seat and run for governor.

Brownback has said he considers higher education a key part of Kansas' economic recovery but does not want to raise taxes to increase state funding of education. Ben Pirotte/KANSAN Educators voice concerns on Brownback,higher ed. The governor-elect declined to endorse Regents' plan BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com Editor's note: An earlier version of this story was first published on the Midwest Democracy Project's website on Oct. 29. Kansas educators generally support Sam Brownback's broad higher education goals. But some question whether the newly elected governor will be willing to spend the money needed to meet those goals. Brownback won Tuesday's election, becoming the state's first Republican governor in eight years. He defeated Tom Holland, the Democratic candidate, by 27 percentage points (62 percent to 35 percent.) During his campaign, Brownback emphasized higher education's role in the state economy. In his platform, "Road Map for Kansas," he outlined goals that are in line with those previously articulated by colleges and universities across the state. These goals include achieving National Cancer Institute designation at the University of Kansas Cancer Center, supporting the Kansas Polymer Research Center at Pittsburg State University and working with community and technical colleges to better meet workforce demands. Holland also focused on the economic contributions of higher education in his campaign. He called education one of the best investments Kansas could make to ensure economic development and said he wanted to increase spending for higher education. Holland endorsed the "Kansas Commitment," a proposal by the state Board of Regents to boost state funding by $50.4 million. "It is impossible to do more with less," said Gary Sherrer, chairman of the Board of Regents. "We think it's a relatively modest proposal considering the total amount we're asking for is half of what they cut from higher education." Holland backed the plan after the student body presidents at the six regents universities sent him a letter encouraging him to do so. Brownback received the same letter and declined to endorse the proposal. That decision has deepened educators' concerns about what steps Brownback will take as governor. BUDGET WOES The dismal state of Kansas' budget will no doubt complicate Brownback's ability to achieve his higher education goals, which include graduating more engineers and improving the biosciences. The recent recession proved to be Kansas' worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and a three-year decline in state revenue has exacerbated higher education's financial woes. The state has cut more than $100 million from its higher education budget during the last two year and state funding per student is at an all-time low. The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act provided temporary relief for the state general fund, which funds roughly a third of higher education's budget. Though state universities and colleges still suffered significant funding cuts, those cuts would have been much more severe had the state not received federal support. Kansas' largest financial hurdle will be a $450 million gap in the upcoming fiscal year left by depleted federal Recovery Act money. But Recovery Act money is soon to run out. To avoid further cuts to higher education, Kansas lawmakers must find a way to fill that gap, said Duane Goossen, the state's budget director. "It seems to me that the state may have to raise taxes," said Joshua Rosenbloom, a professor of economics at the University who is an expert on state and local economics. "Without raising taxes there's no other way to get around this." Some educators have voiced support for raising taxes. NO NEW TAXES But Brownback said he opposes tax increases. His solution is to stabilize funding for higher education by increasing the amount of state tax revenue generated. He wants to grow the economy by creating a business environment that allows Kansas businesses to expand and that attracts new businesses to the state. He says that means reducing regulation and holding down taxes. "Stabilizing funding means letting the regents know what they can expect," said Sherriene Jones-Sontag, a spokeswoman for Brownback's campaign. In addition to his plan to increase tax revenue, Brownback said he would freeze the state general fund. After freezing state spending, Jones-Sontag said, Brownback will evaluate how state funds are being spent. Lawmakers could then shift additional funding to areas he considers the state's primary responsibilities: education, social services and public safety. "In the good times, the state was able to afford more programs and provide more services," Jones-Sontag said. "Should the economy not recover, there will be some difficult decisions made." The state's economic forecast isn't entirely bleak. Goosen told the annual Kansas Economic Policy Conference last week that Kansas had received slightly more federal money than expected, and state revenues in the past three months were higher than expected. He said the fate of higher education depended on two things; continued economic recovery and the resolve of policymakers to keep education budgets stable. Brownback has called education the "primary function of the state." Jones-Sontag said Brownback considered universities "a tremendous industry for the state" and major partners in getting Kansas on the road to economic recovery. However, some educators, such as Rosenbloom, worry Brownback will focus too much on higher education's short-term goals as governor. The purpose of higher education is not simply to train people for jobs they'll do next year, Rosenbloom said. Rather it's to prepare them for a world that will look entirely different to them in 30 or 40 years. "He's certainly not apathetical to higher education," Rosenbloom said. "But I also think we run the risk of becoming so focused on economic development issues that we lose sight of the broader purpose of higher education." — Edited by Dana Meredith LOCAL Library expansion affirmed by voters voters approved an $18 million bond Tuesday that will fund expansion of the Lawrence Public Library. The measure passed with approximately 54 percent of votes. Kathleen Morgan, development director for the Lawrence Public Library Foundation, said the campaign had benefited from the significant efforts of experienced volunteers. Morgan said the campaign put out more than 1,000 yard signs. Bruce Flanders, director of the library, thanked supporters. "There's a lot of people in Law rence who really care about the community." Flanders said. Flanders and Morgan both said work would begin sometime after architects complete a final design which could take eight to nine months. Construction on the library, 707 Vermont St., would finish in late 2012 or early 2013. Flanders estimated. The project is split into phases, which will tackle parking and building expansions separately. The phases are expected to allow the library to remain open throughout construction. The project expands the library by 20,000 square feet, provides for a new parking structure with more than a hundred new spaces, adds 100 public access computers and doubles the size of the children's room, among other changes. The bond is expected to be paid off during 20 years and will be supplemented by an additional $1 million that the Library Foundation hopes to raise privately. --- Jonathan Shorman THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS --- P Kansas faces tough Nebraska team WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3,2010 VOLLEYBALL | 3B The No.5 Cornhuskers have won every match they've played in Lawrence and come to town with the No.2 player in the country, Brooke Delano.

Despite the ensuing technical foul called on Johnson for his chin-up on the rim after the dunk, the fans in Allen Fieldhouse got their first taste of what the Kansas guards should be able to do this year. The guards put on a show Tuesday in the win against Washburn, maybe not with their shooting, but with their ability to move a defense and score inside. The starting lineup began the game exactly the way many fans would've expected it to. Senior guard Tyrel Reed made the first three-pointer of the game and junior guard Tyshawn Taylor managed the game well, scoring only when he needed to. One surprising play came when senior guard Brady Morningstar made a baseline cut and whipped the ball around on a reverse layup. Taylor led the guards as a group in points with 12. But the more important statistic from the guards was their assisting. Each of the guards, including the ones coming off the bench, had at least two assists. The area that obviously needs work is three-point shooting. "Those threes will fall," Taylor said after the game. "We have good shooters." Without the outside shot working right now, the guards found other ways to score. Coach Bill Self said that Taylor's ability to get shots inside would make him a key factor in the offense. "He shot the ball with confidence, but the biggest thing is he's just so athletic," Self said. "He can get to the paint whenever he wants to." Both Reed and Morningstar also got the start, leaving Johnson on SEE ROESLER ON PAGE 5B FOOTBALL 'Thin' depth chart forces players into new positions BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Early season injuries hurt the offensive, defensive lines Senior running back Angus Quigley knows his team's depth chart is thin. safely recycle. Gill has been forced to put players who are usually starters onto the special teams as well. Backup players usually fill special team roles. Injuries on the offensive line and defensive line and to the secondary have forced players to take on new positions and roles in coach Turner Gill's system. "Guys are banged up, but were not going to make excuses," Quigley said Tuesday. "We've had to make some tough decisions because there's not much depth, so we're playing a lot more guys on special teams. So there's that question for us: How much do they play? How many reps?" Gill said. The players doing double duty could be a factor in Kansas' fatigue. The spread offenses in the Big 12 also might play a role. Players don't have as much time between plays and defenses are forced to cover sideline to sideline. A traditional offense would run the ball between the tackles more than a spread offense. Before the season even started, the coaching staff received devastating blows when linebacker Huldon Tharp But injuries are certainly the biggest thing hampering the jayhawks' depth.

According to Rivals.com, Gill and his staff have already locked up six offensive linemen for next year. In accordance with NCAA rules, coaches are allowed to comment on recruits, but the number of linemen on their way to Lawrence next year tells fans all they need to know: Gill doesn't like having a thin depth chart, and he's doing what he can to change that in 2011. 22 57 Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN — Edited by Clark Goble Senior running back Angus Quigley finds a noie and runs for a large gain against Iowa state Saturday.

He's only getting 50 percent of that, but he's making the most of it." Bill Self on Josh Selby FACT OF THE DAY Kansas has won 36 consecutive exhibition games. — Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many of those exhibition wins have come under coach Bill Self? A:22 — Kansas Athletics Big 12 will remain dominant MORNING BREW To many people across the nation. the Big 12 football conference is no longer at the top echelon is no longer at the top echelon of NCAA powerhouse conferences. Some of this can be placed with Nebraska and Colorado departing its ranks. More so can be blamed on Bob Stoops' inability to win a big game. And don't forget to add in the fact that the SEC has won the last four BCS championship games. But the Big 12 still is relevant. And the biggest place this is seen is in the NFL. Just look at last year's NFL draft. Five of the first six players came from Big 12 schools, including the first four players off the board. Look at this year. The leading offensive and defensive rookie of the year candidates both played in the Big 12. Sam Bradford, out of Oklahoma, has led the St. Louis Rams to more wins this season through eight games than they had in the past two years combined. And it's more wins than they had through the whole season three years ago. He may not reach the total wins 2008 offensive rookie of the year Matt Ryan had, but he has turned St. Louis back into the conference competitor that it was at the beginning of the millennium. And Bradford is on pace to throw more TD 10 BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com passes than Ryan did his rookie year. On the defensive side, no one has had a greater impact than Ndamukong Suh of the Detroit Lions. Although his alma mater, Nebraska, is about to leave the Big 12, he still played his whole career in the Big 12 and should be considered a product of it. Suh has recorded seven sacks and even recorded his first defensive TD last week. And the Lions' two wins through eight weeks have already matched last year's total. Perhaps even more important, at least to the Lion fan I talk to, is the fact that they are competitive in every game, even if they end up losing. even if they die before And then there is Kansas' own Qaib Talib, who in his third season with Tampa Bay, is currently second in the league THE MORNING BREW with four interceptions. Talib excelled last Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals with two picks, and took one back to the house 45 yards for the touchdown. So yes, it might be a down year for the Big 12. Texas is struggling and Bob Stoops, per usual, is failing to come through in a big night game, and all the ESPN pundits are drumming into our brains how great the SEC is. But the Big 12 is still a dominant and relevant football conference, and will continue to be even without Nebraska and Colorado next season. — Edited by Kelsey Nill NBA Heat cruise past T'Wolves ASSOCIATED PRESS There's no arguing he can play like one. MIAMI — LeBron James isn't sure that he wants to be called a point guard. Dwyane Wade led all scorers with 26 points, James added 20 points and a game-high 12 assists — the most ever by a Heat forward, according to STATS LLC — and Miami rolled to its fourth straight win, 129-97 over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. James Jones hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 for the Heat, who got 15 from Eddie House, 13 from Chris Bosh and 11 from Udonis Haslem. Wade made 12 of 17 shots in just 24 minutes for Miami, which has outscored opponents by 22.8 points per game losing the season-opener in Boston last week. Kevin Love led Minnesota with 20 points on 7-for-11 shooting. It was Miami's highest-scoring non-ovetime game since beating Phoenix 135-129 on March 4, 2009. Minnesota gave up at least 130 points five times last season alone, all in regulation. Michael Beasley's return to Miami was one that will stay with him for a few days — in the form of a bruised hip.

What am I going to do, call him out? Go, 'Hey, if you don't like it, get the hell out' or whatever? I'm in their house." It was not the first time Moss verbally abused someone associated with the Vikings. In 2001, he screamed at a group of corporate sponsors on a team bus in Philadelphia for occupying a seat that he wanted. The team fined him $15,000. Tinuccci seemed a little surprised by the national attention that Moss' latest meltdown garnered. "He just slammed us," Tinucci said. "It wasn't us personally because he doesn't know us from Adam." KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2010 / SPORTS / VOLLEYBALL Kansas faces blocking leader No.5 Nebraska BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Kansas will face the No. 5 Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lawrence on Wednesday, in a match with the Big 12's top team after the Jayhakws swept Texas Tech on Saturday. Nebraska (20-2, 12-1 Big 12) and Kansas (14-10, 5-8 Big 12) are both 1-1 for the week. The Cornhuskers dropped a four-setter at Texas before sweeping Iowa State, and the Jayhawks dropped a match at Missouri on Wednesday before Saturday's win against Tech. In the two teams' last meeting, the Cornhuskers extended their all-time winning streak against the Jayhawks to 85 matches in a four-setter at Lincoln. Kansas reached a season-high .423 hitting percentage Saturday, with senior outside hitters Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser hitting for better than .600. Kaiser scored 16 kills in the match without recording a single attack error. be even more competitive," Kaiser said. "Because we need to step it up for Nebraska." "But if we can continue to side out and hit at a high efficiency, we'll give ourselves a chance." we can," Kaiser said. On Saturday, Kansas had unusual offensive success, but, then again, Texas Tech has the worst record in the Big 12 and Nebraska has the best. Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks would face a tougher challenge Wednesday. The Cornhuskers have a 29-0 record against the Jayhawks in Lawrence and lead the nation in blocking with 3.12 blocks per set. They also rank second in kills per set with a 15.04 average. Nebraska junior Brooke Delano ranks No. 2 overall in the nation. A. 439 hitting percentage and her 1.47 blocks per set put her in the top 10. "Delano in the middle is one of the best blockers in the Big 12, so that's something we're going to have to focus on — or avoid — if But the Cornhuskers' blocking has been declining recently. After racking up double digit blocks in nine of their first 14 matches, Nebraska has reached double figures only twice in its last eight matches. RAY BECHARD Coach Only three teams have hit better than a .200 average against the Cornhuskers this season: Illinois, Florida and Texas. Nebraska leads the Big 12 in limiting opponent hitting to .151. "We know defensively, coming into Wednesday, that's a whole different set of circumstances with Nebraska," Bechard said. "But if we can continue to side out and hit at a high efficiency, we'll give ourselves a chance." KANSAS Chris Bronson/KANSAN K ans s a f r e s h m a n middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc leads the team with a .275 hitting percentage and .91 blocks per set and Freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley digs a serve during the first set against Texas Tech on Saturday night at the Horeysi Center.

Garlington continues to lead the Jayhawks in producing kills with an average of 3.55 per set and freshman Brianne Riley is leading the defense with 3.65 digs per set. Edited by Dana Meredith "We have a very good opportunity coming; it's at home," Jarmoe said.

Jamal Crawford added 16 points and Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby had 15 apiece for the Hawks, who improved to 3-0 on the road and snapped a six-game losing streak in Cleveland. Hickson scores 31,but Hawks take down Cavs NBA Hawks are lone undefeated team in the East J. J. Hickson scored a career-high 31 points and was playfully serenaded with "M-V-P" chants by Cleveland fans, who used to sing that to superstar LeBron James before he left for Miami. Often overlooked in the increasingly tough East, the Hawks are showing early signs they may be able to stay up with the Heat, Celtics, Magic and Bulls this season. With a group that has grown together in recent years, Atlanta could be a dark horse in a crowded field. ASSOCIATED PRESS Mo Williams scored 12 in his season debut for the Cavs, who have dropped three straight since knocking off Boston in their season opener. MUSIC FEST 2011 26TH ANNUAL SOLD OUT JOIN THE 2011 WAITING LIST MUSIC FEST Steamboat steamboat L.A. DD from $199 +T&S Cleveland had several chances to get closer, but with the Hawks paying extra attention to Hickson inside, the Cavs had to rely on their outside game and couldn't hit a big shot when they needed one. They went 1 for 8 on 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Hickson's layup got the Cavs within 91-87 with 3:49 left, but Marvin Williams made two free throws and Horford, with no one to pass to at the top of the key, buried a 20-footer to put the Hawks ahead by eight. Anthony Parker added 10 points and Anderson Varejao had 12 rebounds for Cleveland, which was without injured forward Antawn Jamsion. He sat out with a sore left knee that has been bothering him for several weeks. After leading by 17 in the first half, the Hawks let the Cavs back in it and only led 89-84 with 5:35 left on a dunk by Horford, who signed a five-year, $60 million contract extension on Monday. BigSkiTrip.com Down by 13 after one, the Cavs limited the Hawks to 19 points in the second quarter. Unfortunately, Cleveland gave up 40 in the first quarter when Atlanta, shooting better than 70 percent for much of the period, threatened to blow the Cavs out. After Sacramento was able to easily penetrate the heart of Cleveland's defense for easy baskets in a comeback win on Saturday, Cavs coach Byron Scott put an emphasis on his team cutting off driving lanes to the Hawks, one of the league's most athletic squads. Cleveland succeeded in doing that early on. Trouble was, the Hawks hardly missed a shot. Atlanta went 15 of 21 (71 percent) from the field in the first 12 minutes. NBA Rondo stars in Celtics' victory Charlie Villanueva scored 17 points for Detroit, which played without Richard Hamilton, who was out with a sore right foot. ASSOCIATED PRESS Kevin Garnett scored 22 points and Paul Pierce added 21 for Boston, which won easily despite Shaquille O'Neal's absence because of a bruised knee. The Celtics hardly missed him against the undersized Pistons, who are off to their first 0-4 start since November 1999. Rondo had a triple-double with 24 assists Friday night against New York. AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Rajon Rondo had nine points and 17 assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 109-86 rout of the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. His big night Tuesday gave him 67 assists through Boston's first four games. O'Neal, who didn't make the trip, missed two straight practices since bruising his right knee against the Knicks. Jermaine O'Neal started and scored 12 points, and rookie Semih Erden made his debut. The Turkish 7-footer entered in the first quarter and quickly blocked two shots. He then scored his first NBA points on a breakaway dunk in the second that led to a Detroit timeout and put Boston ahead 39-28. The Pistons were competitive in their first three games, but fell behind 16-5 early in this one. Rondo made a 3-pointer to end the first half, giving Boston a 57-44 lead, and the Celtics poured it on in the third quarter. At one point, Pierce was so open in the left corner he paused, as if daring Dajuan Summers to come out and guard him. Pierce then made a 3-pointer to put the Celtics up 86-66 and went back down the court shaking his head. Detroit lost forward Jonas Jerebko in the preseason to a torn Achilles' tendon, and 6-foot-11, 205-pound Austin Daye has been playing power forward. Daye scored 16 points, one of five Pistons in double figures, but Detroit's defense couldn't contain Rondo. The Boston point guard helped his team shoot 52 percent from the field, and the game was never really in doubt in the fourth quarter. Pierce needs 23 points to reach 20,000 for his career and will have a chance at that milestone when the Celtics host Milwaukee on Wednesday night. BIG 12 BASKETBALL MANHATTAN, Kan. — Preseason All-American Jacob Pullen scored 15 points to lead No. 3 Kansas State past Newman 83-56 on Tuesday night in an exhibition game.

Chip Steven and Tommy Brumbelow led the Jets with 13 and 12 points, respectively.

Taylor was one of three Jayhawks to score in double figures with 12 points and did not commit any turnovers. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_thibodeaux Junior center Markieff Morris has turned himself into quite the outside shooter. Morris spotted up at the top of the key about five minutes into the game, and his improved stroke was pure. He was 2-for-2 on threes in the Jayhawks' 92-62 victory against Washburn, and part of that is a good sign for the team. "Oh man," junior forward Marcus Morris said. "I feel like if he hits them like that, teams will be in trouble because Keef is shooting it with confidence now." Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, no one else is. As a team, the only blemish on an otherwise complete game was the poor 4-for-19 performance from beyond the arc. Marcus hit one of them and senior guard Tyrel Reed hit the other. It looked good from the beginning when Reed made the first bucket of the season with a three. But that would be the last for the guards. The backcourt was a combined 1-for-10, and they were open looks, while the Morris twins had three makes. Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said no one had a shot that coach Bill Self could be upset with, but it happens. "We have nights like that when guys are off," Taylor said. Last season, Kansas made 7.3 three pointers per game, shooting 40.3 percent. The numbers wouldn't have been that high without Sherron Collins and Xavier Henry, who had 70 and 69 three point makes, respectively. But looking at the roster, someone has to step up or there could be a trend. Reed, who made 44 threes last year, was the only other Jayhawk last season with more than 20 makes. Self knows he needs to find another source of outside shooting, aside from his post players. "That won't fly over time," Self said. But that's just one weakness, Taylor said. The Jayhawks showed they can do about everything else right in the easy victory. Those threes should come in time, but Taylor said those other aspects of the game should be enough to get by. "I don't think we have to focus on making shots or not," he said. "We have to be able to do other things." Though the jump shots weren't falling, the free throws were. The Jayhawks racked up 32 free throws on 35 attempts. That's 91 percent. How the team was able to pull that off is still a mystery. "We've practiced them absolutely zero so far," Self said. "I guess our fans think whatever we're doing practicing free throws is working." - Edited by Clark Goble Game to remember This will be the first of many games to remember for Marcus Morris, who proved why the hype surrounding him this offseason has been so overwhelming. Morris was remarkably efficient in 22 minutes, finishing with 28 points on 8-of-10 shooting with seven rebounds. He also went a perfect 11-of-11 from the free throw line. - Conner Teahan didn't dress for Tuesday's game. Bill Self is considering redshirting him, and doesn't want to lose that possibility quite yet. Junior forward Marcus Morris - Self said he hopes to have Jeff Withey back in seven to 10 days, but that he already expected to have him back on the floor. Morris Johnson - Bill Self said the timetable for a ruling on Josh Selby's eligibility is still unclear, but he had the feeling he would know when a ruling would come down soon. Self pointed out at the end of the game that he actually thinks the Morris twins are two of the best passers on the team. There seems to be the element of a guard player in every person wearing a Kansas jersey. Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson Player to forget Quotes of the night Notes the bench to watch the start of the game. As his crowd pleasing alley-oop shows, he can bring energy when the team needs it. Although the team is lacking the prototype point guard that Josh Selby could offer them right now, the guard group, as a whole, provided a glimpse at a team that will be able to rotate the ball without problem. That includes getting the ball to the forwards down low. Johnson had two of everything last night: two points, two assists, two rebounds two fouls, two turnovers ... You get the idea. In 20 minutes he was unspectacular, hitting just 1-of-6 shots and missing all four attempts from behind the three point line. He'll need to be much more effective to take playing time away from seniors Brady Morningstar (six points, two assists) and Tyrel Reed (nine points, four rebounds, three assists). "Of course, I'm looking at it biasedly, but I'm thinking, gah...Let him play." "I told the guy, 'You could've let me go.' He was like, 'Nah.' His coach would've ran him for the rest of his life, he said." - Marcus and Markieff Morris were the only Jayhawks to shoot 50 percent or better from behind the three-point line. Bill Self on Josh Selby Self The chemistry that's developing between all of them is yet to be seen, but the Kansas guards should make some noise this season. Morris 1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY) -Marcus Morris after Washburn's Virgil Philpit was called to an intentional foul for grappling him. Shooting 21 percent from the three-point line is not inspiring, but everything else is. With a potential rotation of six guards, the backcourt should prove hard to stop for any opponent. Even with all of those combinations of players, Taylor thinks they can all work well together Prime plays ROESLER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Obviously the talent is there, even with freshman Josh Selby's ineligibility. Self said that if Selby could play now, he would be a starter. 15:22 - Markieff Morris showing off his range with a three from the top of the key. (14-2) 19:11 - Tyrel Reed gets the 2010 season started with a wide-open three.The tip was the closest Washburn would get. (3-0) 8:43 - Markieff Morris with the fade away jumper. He had a three from the top of the key earlier. The jump shots and post play from the twins is superb so far. (32-14) 2ND HALF 13:28-Odd. Mario Little, who has a few inches on Elijah Johnson, fed him the alley-oop on a fast break. (64-37) 11:46 - Elijah Johnson found Thomas Robinson with a bounce pass and the big man slammed it home. (69-38) 6:35 - On the Jumbotron during a media timeout, up popped a video about what the players are afraid of. Josh Selby's response? "Ghosts. I think I could fight a vampire." (78-49) — Edited by Alex Tretbar 2:01- Royce Woolridge put in his first bucket as a Jayhawk with a finger-roll layup. (90-58) Key stats 28,7,3,3 Marcus Morris' points, rebounds, assists and steals. He tied or had the team-high in all but rebounds. Markieff Morris had eight. 4-19 The Jayhawks struggled from three point land Tuesday, making just 21 percent.

Player to forget Quotes of the night Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson "Of course, I'm looking at it biasedly, but I'm thinking, gah...Let him play." - Conner Teahan didn't dress for Tuesday's game. Bill Self is considering redshirting him, and doesn't want to lose that possibility quite yet. "I told the guy, 'You could've let me go.' He was like, 'Nah.' His coach would've ran him for the rest of his life, he said." Self pointed out at the end of the game that he actually thinks the Morris twins are two of the best passers on the team. There seems to be the element of a guard player in every person wearing a Kansas jersey. Johnson had two of everything last night: two points, two assists, two rebounds two fouls, two turnovers ... You get the idea. In 20 minutes he was unspectacular, hitting just 1-of-6 shots and missing all four attempts from behind the three point line. He'll need to be much more effective to take playing time away from seniors Brady Morningstar (six points, two assists) and Tyreel Reed (nine points, four rebounds, three assists). Self PETER DAVIES Bill Self on Josh Selby the bench to watch the start of the game. As his crowd pleasing alleyoop shows, he can bring energy when the team needs it. Prime plays — Marcus Morris after Wosshbirn's Virgil Philistin was called for an intentional foul for grappling him. Notes - Bill Self said the timetable for a ruling on Josh Selby's eligibility is still unclear, but he had the feeling he would know when a ruling would come down soon. Morris Although the team is lacking the prototype point guard that Josh Selby could offer them right now, the guard group, as a whole, provided a glimpse at a team that will be able to rotate the ball without problem. That includes getting the ball to the forwards down low. PETER RICKMAN - Marcus and Markleff Morris were the only Jayhawks to shoot 50 percent or better from behind the three-point line. 1ST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY) 15:22 - Markieff Morris showing off his range with a three from the top of the key. (14-2) ROESLER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) The chemistry that's developing between all of them is yet to be seen, but the Kansas guards should make some noise this season. 19:11 - Tyrel Reed gets the 2010 season started with a wide-open three.The tip was the closest Washburn would get. (3-0) Shooting 21 percent from the three-point line is not inspiring, but everything else is. With a potential rotation of six guards, the backcourt should prove hard to stop for any opponent. Even with all of those combinations of players, Taylor thinks they can all work well together Obviously the talent is there, even with freshman Josh Selby's ineligibility. Self said that if Selby could play now, he would be a starter. 8:43 - Markieff Morris with the fade away jumper. He had a three from the top of the key earlier. The jump shots and post play from the twins is superb so far. (32-14) 11:46 - Elijah Johnson found Thomas Robinson with a bounce pass and the big man slammed it home. (69-38) 2ND HALF 13:28-Odd. Mario Little, who has a few inches on Elijah Johnson, fed him the alley-oop on a fast break. (64-37) — Edited by Alex Tretbar 6:35 - On the Jumbotron during a media timeout, up popped a video about what the players are afraid of. Josh Selby's response? "Ghosts. I think I could fight a vampire." (78-49) 2:01- Royce Woolridge put in his first bucket as a Jayhawk with a finger-laylup. (90-58) Key stats 28,7,3,3 Marcus Morris points, rebounds, assists and steals. He tied or had the team-high in all but rebounds. Markieff Morris had eight. 4-19 The Jayhawks struggled from three point land Tuesday, making just 21 percent. What the Jayhawks lacked in three-point shooting, they made up for in free throws, hitting 91 percent. 8 32-35 Eight players had two or more assists. Four tied for the team lead with three.

No. 1 choice Wall's eventful game gave the Wizards their first win of the season. Cartier Martin caught Wall's inbounds pass and hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime. No. 2 pick Turner, who came off the bench and wasn't a factor until the second half, scored all of his nine points in the fourth quarter and finished with six rebounds for the 76ers, who are 0-4 for the first time since 2001-02. Lou Williams led the 76ers with 30 points, one shy of his career-high. He scored 20 points in the fourth quarter and went *6-for-6 from the free throw line in the final 17 seconds of regulation as the 76ers' lead fluctuated between one and three points — until Martin hit the 3-pointer that electrified the near-sellout.

BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Excited fans filled in as the doors of Allen Fieldhouse opened,letting the heat rush out of the building like a sigh of relief. This is the relief the Athletics Department and many fans were looking for after a disappointing season of football. season of 1980. For Ted Fuhrenk, a 1980 graduate, the beginning of the basketball season is a welcome break from watching the Kansas football team, which has only won two games this year. "It's been a disaster" Fuhrken said. Despite his loss of hope for the football team this year, he thinks the basketball team is sitting in a good spot for the season. He said that with Kansas State ranked higher than the Jayhawks in the polls this year, Bill Self and the team will have less pressure and will be able to stay under the radar and glide to at least another conference championship. "I'm really excited to see all the new players," said Kate Kennedy, a junior from Lawrence. Other fans are simply eager to start a new basketball season, and could care less about football. Many freshmen were especially excited about the game, as this Kennedy said she thinks this year's team will be much stronger than last year's, even without seeing what freshman Josh Selby could do against Washburn. was their first time sitting in the student section. This was the case for Hannah Crandall, a freshman from Kansas City, Kansas. She said she is excited to see what the team will do this year, but she's really here for another reason. "It's such a good atmosphere?" Crandall said. Despite The Phog's renowned intimidation factor for visiting teams, some University alumni were not as engulfed in The Phog as others. Sports Illustrated lists Allen Fieldhouse as the No.10 best college sports venue in the country, with No.1 being the Rose Bowl. NOT I being the Crary, a 2008 graduate, never made it to a game while attending the University. He finally made it to Tuesday night's season opener, apparently drawn by the reputation of the opening video. Crary was introduced to the experience by his friend Jacob Kennedy, a senior from Lawrence. He interjected quickly while Crary was responding to a question about Kansas football. "Fortunately he has not heard of what's going on with the football team," lacob said. He said he was looking forward to the prospects of a basketball season that will definitely be more exciting than the football season, but also last year's篮球 season. "I have high, high hopes. That's for sure," Jacob said. Edited by Kelsey Nill NBA Portland ends road trip with 90-76 win MILWAUKEE — Wes Matthews scored 16 of his 18 points in the first half to help the Portland Trail Blazers end their four-game road trip with a 90-76 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. Brandon Roy added 17, LaMarcus Aldridge 14, Dante Cunningham 14, Andre Miller 12 and Armon Johnson 10 for Portland, which was playing its third game in four nights. Matthews was the first off the bench and had seven points in the first and then added nine more in the second quarter as he either slashed to the basket or hit from long range to shred the Bucks' defense. Leading 47-45 at the half, Portland capitalized on the Bucks' poor shooting and porous defense to outscore Milwaukee 26-17 and take a 73-62 lead into the final quarter. It was the first time they led all season heading into the final period. Associated Press University of Kansas students, plan on making new friends this year?

That's how Urban Dictionary, a popular website that defines slang terms, describes the caffeinated, alcoholic beverage. Four Loko seems to be sweeping the nation — but not without controversy. After college students in two states were sent to the hospital after drinking Four Loko, universities, cities and states are encouraging bans on the beverages. THE DRINK The drink comes in a 23.5-ounce can and contains 12 percent alcohol — roughly the equivalent of drinking four to five 12-ounce beers. The caffeine content is about the same as a cup of coffee. Mike Hathaway, manager of Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., said his store started carrying Four Loko about a month and a half ago. "As soon as we got it in, it started flying off the shelves," he said. Nathan Boehr, a senior from Topeka, said he first heard of the drink a few months ago when some friends bought it. Since then, he said he's had the drink on three occasions. "One can was definitely enough to get me a buzz," he said.

Festivities began at 8 p.m. and included informational videos, pamphlets and free small desserts. Chris Bronson/KANSAN Queers and Allies celebrates 40 years BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com It began as an accident. In June of 1970, when then KU-student David Stout turned in his final dissertation on homosexuality he had no idea that it would eventually lead to the formation of KU's Oueers and Allies. That was before one of Stout's interviewees, a student at Lawrence High School, sought him out and asked Stout what he planned to do now that he had completed his paper. When Stout replied nothing, the student was less than thrilled. "I said I was done." Stout said in a pre-recorded interview. "All that was left was to get the grade." "I believe he shouted, 'what a fucking waste of time,' and stormed out," Stout said. Their next encounter also yielded a surprising event when the student arrived in Stout's office and handed him a small flier. The filier read, Out of the Johns and Onto the Streets and as Stout's eyes scanned further down the page, he noticed that his name and contact information had been written on the very bottom. This was one of the many stories shared last night at the Queens and Allies 40th Anniversary Party in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union. Around 20 people, both young and old, gathered together to learn about the history of the organization and see documents critical to the formation of one of the nation's first campus gay rights group. The student had just finished posting dozens of similar fliers up and down Jayhawk Boulevard. Without ever volunteering, Stout realized that he had no choice but to go beyond his paper and form a gay liberation group. "In many ways, this boy carried the idea, the seed and he impregnated me," Stout said. "He never did come to any meetings. He left me to nurse the baby." "There were some pretty gutsy students," Tani Albin, the advisor MUSIC Trumpeter's practice pays off in Australia BY NICOLAS ROESLER SEE Q&A ON PAGE 3A Required to play eight songs, back to back, all chosen by judges because of their difficulty. Li began to produce a clear, ringing sound in their ears. Li, a senior from Beijing, was chosen as one of three finalists in the 2010 International Trumpet Guild Conference's Orchestraal Excerpts competition in Sydney, Australia, over the summer. He became the first Chinese national citizen to be chosen as a finalist in this 30-year-old competition that is open to all trumpet players in the world under the age of 25. "It's kind of like Olympic diving," Leisring said, "you just set and go." nroesler@kansan.com Peixiang Li sat alone on stage, the spotlight gleaming off his trumpet. Waiting behind the judges was an audience made up of trumpet players from all over the world. Li pursed his lips against his instrument and took a deep breath. Also in the audience sat some of the members of the Kansas University Trumpet Ensemble, including Li's professor and conductor Steve Leisring. Leisring placed third in the same competition in 1988. Despite the quiet in the air, and a stage only occupied by himself and his trumpet. Li said he didn't have time to be nervous. He was randomly chosen to perform before the other two finalists. Li's mother had traveled from China to Australia to watch her son, the first University of Kansas student to make it to the finals of the Orchestraal Excerpt competition, perform. Li said she was happy to see his success. But for himself, he was happier to get a chance to go home. He had come to the University four years ago to study music and he said he was happy that the whole process was over and he could finally relax. "It was painful." Li said. "I never got satisfied." "I just had to grab the horn and play." Li said. Li didn't remember much from his performance. He said it blew by him, and all he really remembered was all the work he did to enter the competition. The work paid off — Li left Australia this summer with a second place finish. Li would record songs that he thought he played well, then listen to them and would rarely For more than a year, Li worked on perfecting the songs he needed to send to the Trumpet Guild judges to make it into the finals.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2010 / NEWS 3A dency Dalton Gomez/KANSAN Peixiang Li, a senior from Beijing, China, is a trumpet player who has played as a special guest in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. During the summer, Li placed second in the International Trumpet Guild Conference. The International Trumpet Guild is the largest organization for trumpet professionals. MUSIC (CONTINUED FROM 1A) feel pleased with the result. He always felt he could do better. Steven Sharp, a fellow member of the Kansas University Trumpet Ensemble, and a senior from St. Louis, said it takes hours of listening to the material and practicing the fundamentals to hone a person's trumpet skills. "You can tell he puts in the work." Sharp said. Taught by members of the Chinese army band in middle school and high school, Li hasn't put down a trumpet since he was 11 years old. He began playing the Chinese national anthem and other songs before following a mentor to a music conservatory in China to study. When he found out that his mentor was changing his focus from what Li wanted to do, he sent a e-mail to Leising to see if he could come study under him. Now, over halfway through the fall semester, Li says everything is back to normal. The experience he gained has given him some added confidence, as you can tell as he looks you in the eye as he speaks. He now plays the principle position for the KU Wind Ensemble, one of the University's top performing groups. Leisring said he was actually happy for Li's winning second instead of first. He said the competition is meant to be practice for Orchestral Auditions, which can be just as full of pressure as what Li experienced in Australia. If he would've placed first, Li wouldn't be able to enter the competition again in 2011, but now Li definitely plans on entering it again. The competition will be held in Minneapolis. Li plans to play in an orchestra when he graduates. He said it doesn't matter if it is here in the United States or in China. He just wants to continue to create the music that has already taken him all over the world. Edited by David Cawthon Californians vote against pot-legalizing proposition NATIONAL LOS ANGELES — It seemed an easy sell in California: The state that gave us medical marijuana would allow pot for recreation. ASSOCIATED PRESS pot laws? A day after voters rejected Proposition 19, marijuana advocates wondered how they failed in trendsetting, liberal California. Then came the ads, newspaper editorials and politicians, warning of a world where stoned drivers would crash school buses, nurses would show up at work high and employers would be helpless to fire drug-addled workers. Was it the fear of the unknown? An older electorate more likely to oppose pot? Voters reluctant to go any further than they already had with the nation's most lax Whatever the reason, activists vowed Wednesday to push on in California, as well as in states that rejected other pot measures Tuesday. "Social change doesn't happen overnight," said Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for Repeal of Marijuana Laws. In South Dakota, voters rejected for the second time a medical marijuana measure — a step first taken by California in 1996 and by 13 other states since. Oregon voters refused to expand their medical marijuana program to create a network of state-licensed nonprofit dispensaries. and older to possess and grow small amounts of marijuana, failed 54 to 46 percent. An Associated Press analysis of exit and pre-election polls found voters opposed Prop 19 regardless of race, gender, income or education level. Preliminary election returns showed Prop 19 winning in 11 of 58 counties, with the strongest support in San Francisco and Santa Cruz. But in a sign of what a tough sell it was, Prop 19 lost in the state's vaunted marijuana-growing region known as the "Emerald Triangle" of Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties. The California initiative, which would have allowed adults age 21 Many in the region feared the system would be taken over by corporations or would undercut a cornerstone of the local economy.

"It really nice to have a place where we could all get together and just talk and hang out." that there is a lot they can do to help obtain equal rights for people of all sexual orientations." Q&A (CONTINUED FROM 1A) of Queers and Allies said. "At a time when it wasn't safe to be a gay person; a lot of people took a lot of risks to make this group happen." The University Daily Kansan's website, Kansan.com, was named one of the best college media websites in the country last week. The Associated Collegiate Press awarded the site its highest honor, the Pacemaker, at its annual conference in Louisville, Kent., Oct. 30. Kansan.com was one of 11 sites given the award, out of nearly 300 candidates, according to the ACP. The contest was judged by a panel of professionals who"noted that the most successful sites displayed excellence in multimedia story telling, writing and editing, site design, in-depth and complete coverage, interactivity, and graphics and photography," a Pacemaker press release read. When the group first began to meet, Rich Crank, a Lawrence resident, recalls how they weren't even allowed to meet on campus. During the judgement period last spring Lauren Cunningham, 2009 graduate, was managing editor for Kansan.com; Haley Jones, 2009 graduate, was Web editor; and Stephen Montemayor, a senior from Mission, was editor-in-chief. David Cawthon, a senior from Lenexa, is the current Kansan.com managing editor. Abbey Strusz, a senior from Republic, Mo., is Web editor and Alex Garrison, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., is editor-in-chief. "In 40 years I'd like people in the group to have a conversation about what they no longer have to do." Albin said. "Things like, do you remember when we couldn't get married? Do you remember when there was a time when we didn't feel safe? It's a continuous fight but it is getting better." Eventually, Queers and Allies won the right to meet on campus after the same students who formed the group took the University to court. Edited by Tim Dwyer "Here they were, students with no money and they were taking KU to court," Albin said. "It takes a lot to do that." Today, Quers and Allies has established itself as a major organization on campus.

Kristyn Hawkins MBA in Accounting, 2006 Financial Accounting Analyst, Sr. Honeywell FM6T Boehr said he thought college students were attracted to the drink for three reasons: it's cheap, it's potent and it tastes good. Alex Garrison A can of Four Loko is about $2.50. "It gives you a lot of bang for your buck" he said. Amanda Allison, a senior from Prairie Village, said she thought people could get "carried away and forget how strong it is" because the drink is deceiving. "You feel like you're drinking pop" she said. "So it's easy." Allison said she started buying Four Loko in August because it reminded her of a similar drink called Sparks, which contains 6 percent alcohol — a lower percentage than Four Loko. "It doesn't take that much to get you drunk." Allison said. But that could be a problem.

AVILA UNIVERSITY Opening Doors 11901 Wornall Road, Kansas City, MO avila.edu/mba • mba@avila.edu • 816-501-3601 Sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet A McKee said the combination of alcohol and caffeine could be dangerous. The two substances are essentially opposites. Alcohol is a depressant. Caffeine is a stimulant. Alcohol slows down bodily functions like heart rate and breathing. Caffeine increases heart rate and alertness. The combination could potentially be heart-stopping, McKee said. The mix of alcohol and caffeine could also lead to a "delayed drunk." "Anytime you layer drugs,there's definitely going to be a reaction in your body," she said. McKee said the caffeine content could mask the potency of the alcohol, causing people to drink more. "There's a lot of concern about whether combining these two is a good idea." The combination can also be dangerous because caffeine and alcohol are both diuretics, she said. A diuretic is a drug that causes increased urination, which could lead to consumers becoming dehydrated more quickly. Emily Gnefnow, a junior from Wichita, said she learned about Four Loko on Facebook. She said that she's not going to try Four Loko because she has heard how dangerous the drink can be. "I can drink other things, not get sick, and still have fun," she said. STEVEN SCHMIDT vice president of public policy for NABCA THE BAN Four Loko and other caffeinated alcoholic beverages are receiving attention from lawmakers around the country. EMILY GNEFNOW junior ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent.

"There's a lot of concern about whether combining these two is a good idea" Schmidt said. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board sent letters to alcohol distributors in the state asking them to remove alcoholic energy drinks from their shelves, according to a recent article in The Philadelphia Inquirer. Lawmakers in the states of Washington and New York City are working to ban the drink. Oregon Partnerships, a group that promotes alcohol awareness in Oregon, also wants Four Loko off the shelves. According to a press release,"Oregon Partnership is urging the Food and Drug Administration to ban all alcoholic energy drinks."The press release states that the group feels the drink is targeted toward minors. Several calls to the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control were not answered. Last November, the FDA sent letters to 30 companies that manufacture beverages containing a mixture alcohol and caffeine. The FDA asked for proof that the companies' drinks were safe, according to an FDA press release. The FDA is still conducting a safety review.

SKPETICISM Near death experiences may not always be religious In the late 1980s, Nikki Sixx, bassist for the band Motley Crue and popularizer of the unnecessary umlaut, overdosed on heroin and was declared dead in the back of an ambulance en route to a hospital. After two minutes of being clinically dead—and to the good fortune of Crue fans everywhere—the musician was brought back to life by a couple of shots of adrenaline and quickly recovered. Sixx claimed later that although his heart had stopped and he had quit breathing,he was fully aware of the chaotic scene on the way to the hospital,and had even risen out of his body and observed it from above. His account might sound strange, but rock star junkies aren't the only ones coming back from the dead with stories of this nature In 1982, George Gallup and author William Proctor conducted a survey in which 15 percent of Americans responded that after a close brush with death they had undergone a near-death experience (NDE for short). The term near-death experience refers generally to a wide variety of sensations reported by those who have come close to dying, and often times have actually been clinically dead. Raymond Moody, parapsychologist and author of Life After Life, pinpoints several of the most common sensations experienced during a NDE, including a tunnel of bright gold or white light, out of body BY ANDREW HOLTZEN Good Science, Bad Science Moody, along with a minority of other researchers, argues that NDEs are indicative of something supernatural and are proof that the soul continues on after physical death. A biochemical cause of NDEs has become the most prevalent theory and asserts that the reports given by near-deathers are very similar to the sensations felt by people under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs. The scientific evidence, however, doesn't bode well for claims that NDEs require explanations beyond anything physically observable. For example, many plants in the family Solanaceae contain alkaloids that can induce feelings of weightlessness and the hallucination of flying. Other drugs, like LSD and psilocybin, are known to cause visual and auditory hallucinations similar to those reported in neardeath experiences. Dr. Karl Jansen of the Royal College of Psychiatrists posits that the link between NDEs and hallucinogens could be caused by physiological factors like low blood pressure, a lack of oxygen, and low blood sugar during NDEs that could trigger the release of chemicals that interact with the same brain receptors as some psychedelic drugs. Furthermore, the euphoria and sense of contact with a higher being of NDEs can be reproduced There have even been studies performed showing that electrical and magnetic stimulation can cause out-of-body-experiences like those of NDEs. with the dissociative anesthetic ketamine. Despite the amount of research concerning NDEs, many questions still remain about the exact cause, but the ability to reproduce the reported sensations through natural methods adds credence to a scientific explanation rather than a paranormal one. With the assertion that neardeath experiences are evidence that support belief in an afterlife researchers like Moody have made the mistake of trying to bring science to an issue that cannot be proven and must remain in the realm of faith. Since just like a good Mötley Crüe album, the hereafter is simply something that believers can't be sure exists and deniers can't be sure doesn't.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Argument against using pill wrong NICHOLAS SAMBALUK I don't have the time to address the obvious moral underpinnings of her argument, but I do want to address her claim that oral contraceptives "mask the symptoms" of endometriosis. The number one reason I'm on the pill is because of my endo. I have a mild case, but even mild cases can cause severe pain. Before I started my current prescription, I was taking Percocet for an entire week every month. The pill doesn't just mask the menstrual pain, it actually works to prevent further progression of endo. By having a lighter (or no) period, fewer endometrial cells have the opportunity to implant I am writing in response to the Letter to the Editor in Monday's paper. I was appalled by Patricia Huber's argument that women shouldn't take oral contraceptives. I'm curious as to what Huber thinks I should do to deal with my endo, if not take the pill. The only other option is invasive surgery, and that's only temporary - the endo will come back. The pill is the only way I can survive my menstrual cycle. themselves outside of the uterus, and during the menstrual cycle, less bleeding means that there is a lower inflammatory response, which means less pain. My prescription costs me over $70 a month. Luckily, I have a boyfriend who is willing to split the cost with me. Because the government won't subsidize oral contraceptives, other women with similar conditions might not be so lucky. -Jesi Lipp is a junior from Lenexa.

STUDENT ISSUES Jail time not an acceptable consequence for pot smoking All my life, my mom warned me against smoking pot—but not for the usual reasons. If you get caught, shed say, you could lose your student aid money for college and that would be disastrous. I'm not arguing against the proven fact that marijuana, and of course use of other drugs, have negative long-term effects on health and other measures of personal well-being. Instead, we should take a hard look at the comparative consequences of the drug and the drug war. Progressive Perspective Now, she's no irresponsible hippie parent who would have otherwise condoned any sort of drug use, were it not for my education being at stake. Far from it. Instead, she understands that there is a big disconnect between the relatively small harm done by responsible use of recreational substances and the possible enormous consequences of state and federal law. The focus on punishment, rather than harm reduction, education, and rehabilitation, causes lives to be ruined and families to be torn apart. Since 1998 the Souder amendment denies federal financial aid to any student convicted of a drug law violation. This leads to issues of access and structural discrimination. The policies of the United States don't seem to be working very well—we have over half a million people behind bars for drug offenses alone, and according to drugpolicy.org, about 1.5 million people are arrested every year for drug law violations; 40 percent of these are marijuana-related. We should take a look at Western Europe's drug policy. They focus primarily on harm reduction, which drugpolicy.org describes as "grounded in the conviction that people should not be punished for what they put into their bodies, but only for crimes committed against others. It acknowledges that no society will ever be free of P BY ALI FREE fire@hansan.com drugs. It holds that drug policies should seek to reduce the negative consequences (principally death, disease, crime and suffering) of both drug use and the policies themselves." This is much more logical than our system, which is based in the narrow idea that any illicit substance use is inherently wrong and the focus should be on punishment. It also recognizes that the gateway drug hypothesis is true not necessarily because of the old D.A.R.E. myth that marijuana will lead you to seek out more intense experiences, but partially because underground dealers are more likely to have access to other harder, more addictive drugs. Make it sold commercially, and you have at least part of that problem solved. Of course, what works in one country won't necessarily work in another. But our current drug policy's consequences — including high incarceration rates, limited opportunities for higher education, the possibility for discrimination against minorities — imply that we could use some kind of reform. Think about it. In the current political and economic climate, drug policy reform isn't high on the agenda. But it will be again someday, and logical, informed, and nuanced views will be necessary to achieve harm reduction and decreased negative consequences of the policies themselves. A hard-line approach is rarely the answer, and it certainly isn't here. Free is a sophomore from Blue Springs, Mo., in women's studies. Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com "This article screams ignorance. Birth control has helped many women to lead the kind of lives they wish while waiting until they are mentally and financially stable to rear children. It has allowed women to take control of their lives and bodies, and it has helped many women with serious health issues along the way. It has allowed people who are fully aware that they do not wish to parent to refrain from bearing children who are not wanted. I am offended that a woman wrote this article.

This type of training, called TRX training, is what personal trainer Laura Webb describes as "the hot new thing" in the world of fitness. It was invented by a Navy S.E.A.L. and was featured on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" in 2008. TRX training, or total resistance exercise suspension training, is simply suspension training using your body weight, Webb said. A team of personal trainers at the recreation center held a workshop Wednesday night to teach students and faculty about the new equipment. Robert Czyz, a junior from Chicago, said he attended the workshop because he was interested in mixing up his workout routine. The TRX trainer itself is a simple piece of equipment. It consists of about 10 feet of nylon strapping, a pair of loops for the hands or feet, and two buckles. However, the exercises students and faculty can perform on this equipment are virtually endless. Webb said the flexibility of the TRX trainer can make exercises more beneficial than those performed on a machine. cular workout, strength training, stretching or a combination of all three. "With a lot of machines in the gym, you don't use those movements in real life," Webb said. "In Alex Miller, another personal trainer at the recreation center, said he sometimes uses TRX training in his workouts to warm up or cool down, but also to get a full body workout when he is in a "I think our bodies respond best when we're mixing things up and constantly keeping it guessing."

Tristan Mccaffery, a senior from Lawrence, uses the TRX (total resistance training) equipment Wednesday night at the TRX workshop at the Ambler Student Recreation Center. The workshop was held to give students a chance to learn about the new TRX equipment available for students to use. TRX is a new fitness technique that makes for a quick way to get a good workout. Webb said the suspension training could be used for a cardiovas "You can get every single body part worked out in a short amount of time — if you're really booking it, in about 10 minutes," Miller said. "But you might be dead at that point," he added. Webb said people of all fitness levels can benefit from TRX training, but she recommends that individuals also add other types of exercises besides TRX training to their workout schedules. "I think our bodies respond best when we're mixing things up and constantly keeping it guessing," Webb said. "TRX is just another option now available to KU students." Students interested in using TRX trainers can now check them out when they visit the recreation center. They are free to check out but must remain inside the recreation center while in use. Edited by Kelsey Nill Third-straight year of frozen salaries looms for staff BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com Having dealt with approximately $100 million in cuts to state funding over the past two years, Kansas public universities are now faced with the possibility of an unprecedented third-straight year of frozen salaries for faculty and staff. Gray-Little met with the As a result of this worsening trend, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has pledged to start pushing for pay increases on next year's budget. leaders of the five other Kansas public institutions two weeks ago in Topeka and agreed that a plan needed to be developed to determine funding sources for such salary increases. Jack Martin, deputy director for University communications, said administrators hoped the funding for these raises could come from a new Board of Regents education plan that will come before the Kansas Legislature in January. "We believe there needs to be a constant state investment in higher education if Kansas is to get out of the recession;" Martin said. University leaders, however, also discussed the possibility that student tuition increases could be tied to salary raises. Gary Sherrer, chairman of the Board of Regents, acknowledged that the funding burden has shifted over to students through tuition in recent years and that it will continue if the state doesn't hold up its responsibility to higher education. "If the state continues to cut budgets, we only have one choice, and at some point we can't continue to ask the students to pay for the majority of the operating costs," Sherrer said. Lisa Wolf Wendel, professor of educational leadership and former faculty senate president, said as insurance premiums and other costs have risen with the static salaries, it has created the equivalent of a pay cut for faculty and staff. "With the expenses, in effect, faculty and staff are essentially paid less than they were two years ago. That puts our university at a competitive disadvantage," she said. Wolf Wendel said while the economy is down all over the country, the lack of pay increases could lead to potential problems with retaining and recruiting faculty. It also doesn't help that the average faculty salary at the University is less than many other comparative institutions, she said. "Money isn't the only reason that someone would leave, but if you're not competitive, it makes going elsewhere more of a viable option," Wolf-Wendel said. Martin noted that raising faculty and staff salaries next year could only benefit the education process, both in terms of maintaining unity and morale in staff programs, and by maintaining the student opportunity to learn from faculty at the top of their field. "We want KU students to have the opportunity to learn from the best, and that can't help if other faculty members are being recruited away by other institutions," Martin said. Specific details on potential salary increases and their possible sources of funding will be determined by the Legislature in January and when the universities bring their budgets to the Regents next spring. — Edited by Tim Dwyer THE SEARCH FOR THE SHIRT ROCK TM CHALK IM JAYHAWKS OFFENSE WINS GAMES KANSAS WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS YOU PLAY HARDL WE PLAY 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS CALLING US FANS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT ROCK YOUR CHALKS OFF VOTE ONLINE NOW!!!

WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 1B WAITING GAME Self limits Selby's reps in practice JAYLIN Freshman guard Josh Selby and sophomore forward Justin Wesley watch from the sidelines during the Washburn exhibition game Tuesday night. Wesley has to sit out the 2010-11 season as a transfer and the NCAA still has not approved Selby's amateur status. Jerry Wang/KANSAN Johnson prepares as Taylor's backup by taking more reps in practice BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball After weeks of fending off questions about the issue, all it took was a game without his star freshman for coach Bill Self to open up a little bit on the subject of Josh Selby. "From my perspective — of course, I see it biasedly — I'm thinking, 'Gah...let him play.'" Self said after the Jayhawks' 92-62 exhibition thrashing of the Washburn Ichabods. The backcourt was hardly a weak spot for Kansas in the win, but there is plenty of room for Selby, the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2010, among the experienced group of guards. The Jayhawk guards hit just one of 15 three-point attempts, and Selby was rated as the top offensive point guard in his class. As much help as Selby could provide, Self is more concerned right now with the time Selby takes away from other players in practice — especially if he doesn't get cleared. Sophomore Elijah Johnson, who struggled through a 1-for-6 shooting night in the jayhawks' opener, is the name that stuck out for Self. "I mean he's taking reps away from Elijah or whatever," Self said. "So from this point forward he's still going to practice every day and he'll practice with the first team some, but not much, because if we don't have him until a certain point, there's no reason to take the reps away from somebody else." Self said Johnson playing well is critical in the future, especially prior to Selby's clearance. "We really need Elijah to play well because, in case Tyshawn goes down or gets in foul trouble, he's a guy that can back him up," Self said. "But with Josh there it gives us three little guards there that you can do some things with." Self said he still doesn't know the time line for a decision on Selby's engibility, but that he's still optimistic that it would happen. Last week's announcement that Selby is clear academically was very good news for the Jayhawks. Self and the rest of the Jayhawk nation are still waiting for an NCAA ruling on Selby's amateur status, though, which is still in question because of a long-standing relationship with Bay Frazier, Carmelo Anthony's business manager. "I don't know what they have, what they don't have," Self said. "I'm not privy to that information, so I trust it. I do. I trust it. I think they're very respectful of the fact that they know that we're kind of hamtright right now. We need to get this behind us. But I think there's reasons why it hasn't happened yet, and I don't think it's anybody's fault." The question still remains, though: If Selby is cleared, what does he bring to the table for Kansas? "He is a guy, right now, that could be a starter for us," Self said. "But he is not a guy right now that you would say. 'He is one of the best three or four players in the league.' Will he get to that point? I don't know, but I'm a big believer that by January-February he could be a guy that's hard to guard." — Edited by Lisa Curran FOOTBALL Starting QB yet to be named for Saturday nroesler@kansan.com BY NICOLAS ROESLER After a period of uncertainty, Kale Pick was named the starting quarterback on Aug. 19 for the 2010 Kansas football season. But compared to the beginning of the season, the quarterback position is now even more unclear. Going into the game against Colorado this weekend, the Kansas football team has no starting quarterback. "All three are in the mix," said coach Turner Gill after Wednesday's practice. Of the three quarterbacks that have started, no one player has made the steps to stand out. Freshman Jordan Webb has the marquee win against Georgia Tech in week two, but since then, his numbers have been average. Since throwing three touchdowns and only one interception in that game, Webb has thrown four touchdowns and five interceptions. After being taken out of the game against Texas A&M with a shoulder injury and missing the Iowa State game. Webb is practicing again with the first team offense. But then again, all three quarterbacks are Biere said that both Quinn Mecham and Pick tend to call more plays directed toward running the ball at practice and Webb focuses "We're just trying to get some reps with different guys, different days, doing different things" Gill said. ing him. "They all run the same plays so it doesn't really affect you in practice," Biere said. Despite having three different quarterbacks running plays, tight end Tim Biere says the different personnel groupings aren't affecting him. more on passing plays. And after the Iowa State game, Biere also said that Mecham is being allowed to open up the playbook more often. Mecham, a junior, completed 66 percent of his passes in his first start. Although most of them were short, quick throws, he managed the game with only a few mistakes. "With Quinn being more comfortable now, he can do some of the stuff Jordan was doing," Biere said. 2 7 The decision for the coaches will be difficult because there is not much separating each of the competing quarterbacks as far as statistics go. However, there might be some advantage to not naming a starter at this point in the week. The visiting Colorado Buffaloes won't know what to expect. Webb is averaging about ten yards per completion for the season, while Mecham averaged just over six yards per completion against Iowa State. "They don't know for sure who's going to be the guy," Gill said. "I think that helps us to a certain extent, but we're just trying to execute our football team and get better on offense." Pick has recovered from a concussion, Webb's shoulder is on the mend, and Mecham quietly put up a solid outing on Saturday. Now, like the Lebron James Nike commercial, the question is: What would you do? Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO would you For Gill, the answer isn't clear, but he does know what he wants that quarterback to do. "We're trying to find out who the best guy is that gives us the best chance to win." 8 Mike Gunroe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Edited by Leslie Kinsman From left, quarterbacks Kale Pick, Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham all took turns running plays at practice this week in preparation for Saturday's game.

The women had a great run to the WNIT Finals in 2009, so I wanted to see more. Last year the Jayhawks fell in the quarterfinals after a trying season in which they saw season-ending injuries to two of their best players Danielle McCray and Angel Goodrich. But as all other athletes do, their teammates worked together and gained valuable experience with two stars on the bench. After losing five seniors last year, the team's dynamic has changed, but their drive carries on to the younger athletes. The team has two seniors now and three sophomores serving as team captains. The Jayhawks added four freshmen and a redshirt freshman to the team which drops the experience from last year, but adds new opportunities. Kansas started exhibition play last Sunday with an 83-62 victory over Fort Hays State. The team looked good. The Jayhawks played without seniors Krysten Boogaard and Nicolette Smith. Boogaard out with patellar tendonitis and Smith for an undisclosed reason. Sophomore Carolyn Davis was there to step up with a 35-point and 17-rebound performance. The guards moved the ball well and the passes inside to the post were clean. At Kansas there is so much excitement surrounding men's basketball. And there should be since Kansas has a fantastic team year after year. Women's basketball seems to get lost in the shuffle. The players exhibit just as much passion. The team is athletic and quick and will be interesting to watch this year. One of the things that is most interesting to me is that the two teams play the same sport on the same court, and yet the games are so different. Maybe the men's games are louder, but the women's games provide a fun family atmosphere that you can't get in a crowded gym. I am sure that is due in part to the more affordable public ticket prices and the free student entry. From what I have seen so far, I think the team will be great this year. They have a variety of skills and talents which started to blend together even in the first game. This weekend the Jayhawks will face Washburn and should be impressive there as well. If the team can avoid injuries and work together, Kansas will have two exciting basketball teams in Allen Fieldhouse. - Edited by Clark Goble 2B SPORTS / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "I'll always be Number 1 to myself."

Barbee wins Big 12 Golfer of the Month Barbee's exceptional October started off with a one stroke win Barbee at the Bill Ross Intercollegiate in Kansas City, Mo. His win helped guide the Jayhawks to a second place team finish at the tournament. Barbee struggled in his first round of the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M. shooting a 79.

MORNING BREW Giving out real-life mulligans -Ethan Padway The Nintendo 64 was the gaming system in its prime. Everybody had one, and who doesn't still enjoy a little Mario Kart every now and then? I remember playing Madden 2002 and all of the great features that came with that game. I miss John Madden telling me right after my wide receiver dropped a pass that he should put some Stickum on his hands. I also miss the generic fans pumping me up with their "Go team!" chant. up with them. Go team, ensure. But, above all else, my favorite aspect of the game was the mulligan feature. Being able to redo a play that didn't go your way was great. Of course you were only allowed a certain number of mulligans per game, so they had to be used wisely. they had to be used by them. There have been a few events in football this year where those involved probably wish they had a mulligan. The most recent event that comes to mind is Randy Moss's situation. Moss was traded to the Vikings for a third round draft pick, and four weeks later the Vikings waived him. I bet Brad Childress would use a mulligan, if he could, on acquiring Moss. Throwing away a third round draft pick for a 2-5 team isn't good for a coach who has already taken criticism for the way he let Brett Favre dictate the terms of his return this year. Moss himself also could use a mulligan. In a press conference he basically expressed his love for the Patriots and sounded like he wished he were back in New England. TOMMY BLAIR Fantasy owners who spent a top pick on Moss (like me) would love to choose BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com another player with that pick if they could do it again. 41-year-old Favre might also want a mulligan in deciding to play this year. He was going to come back, lead the Vikings to the Super Bowl, and leave his legacy with a playoff run, right? Well the Vikes haven't quite had the season they had hoped for, and Favre has been banged up in the process. Favre got clocked in Sunday's game and he lay helpless on the back of a gator, as he was driven to get stitches in his chin. He has two fractures in his left foot and complains about tendonitis in his elbow. Retiring after your best season ever, numbers wise, probably sounds like a better plan now, doesn't it, Favre? like a better plan now. In one odd case, LSU was given a mulligan. The Tigers had their unbeaten record on the line when Tennessee came into Baton Rouge. LSU's poor clock management lead to a 3rd and goal from the one that was barely snapped before the clock ran out. The snap was mishandled and the quarterback had to run and jump on it, ending the game. LSU fans booed, and THE MORNING BREW What if mulligans worked like challenges in the NFL? Each team gets two mulligans, and if the plays that they redo end up in a first down or points scored, then they are awarded a third mulligan. I'm not suggesting this be inserted into the NFL rulebook; I'm just saying that it would provide an interesting twist to games. As for now, I guess I'll just use mulligans in video games the only place they are accepted. the Tennessee sideline erupted, celebrating the upset. This all stopped when a penalty flag was thrown on the field, and suddenly the referees were reviewing the play. When subbing on defense, Tennessee had some confusion, and ended up with 13 players on the field. The flag allowed LSU one more untimed down. They scored and won the game. LSU should be gracious of the mulligan Tennessee gave them.

KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 4 KANSAS 5 KANSAS 15 Karlie Brown/KANSAN Sophomore middle blocker Taylor Tolefree and junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield attempt to block Nebraska's Lindsey Litch's attack Wednesday evening in Horesi Family Athletic Center. The game marked Nebraska's 86th loss to Nebraska. Jayhawks unable to take down No.5 Nebraska BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com "We just don't string it together for 25 points," she said. "And that's even more frustrating than laying a big, fat egg. Because we know we can do it." Nebraska swept Kansas in Lawrence on Wednesday, moving the all-time series record to 86-0 in favor of the Cornhuskers. In both the first and second set, Kansas and Nebraska played a close match until the midpoint, when Nebraska ran away with the game. The Cornhuskers took all three sets by more than five points (25-17, 25-14 and 25-19). Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington said she was disappointed, partly because Kansas was so competitive with Nebraska at times. In the first set, the Cornhuskers broke away from a tie at 5-5 by combining their famous blocking with hard kills by Nebraska outside hitters like sophomore Hanna Werth. Nebraska is ranked No. 1 in the nation for blockade. Two kills by Garlington in quick succession kept the Jayhawks in the game at 12-8. Meanwhile, junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield scored four kills when Nebraska left openings on the court and junior setter Nicole Tate found occasions to score with a surprise attack, when she abruptly turned a set into a kill. The Cornuskers averaged. 471 for the set and recorded only one attack error. Brooke Delano, Hannah Werth and Morgan Broekhuis each scored four kills. Nebraska blocked three in the first set, one a solo block from sophomore Allison McNeal and two more from the combined efforts of Lindsey Licht, Brooke But Nebraska was having success on offense, too, and kept Kansas down by at least four points for the rest of the match. The Cornhuskers came back from a timeout at 21-17 and scored four unanswered points to end the set 25-17. Delano and Hannah Werth. With Nebraska digging just as many balls as Kansas, the Jayhawks only managed to shoot for a 200 efficiency in the opening set. The layhawks have not won a match this year after losing the first set. Kansas scored the first two points of the second set and took off with a 3-1 lead. Garlington scored two kills in quick succession to help keep the Jayhawks on top, but Nebraska answered back each time. Two more kills by Mayfield and redshirt freshman middle blocker Jarmoc put Kansas on top once more at 8-7. From this point on, Kansas' attack errors and hard shooting by Nebraska gave the Cornhuskers the advantage. By the end of the second set, the Jayhawks' hitting efficiency had dropped to .062 while Nebraska recorded six blocks. Kansas defensive players Morgon Boub, Melissa Manda and Brianne Riley made some impressive effort tributed together two more blocks and Mayfield emerged to lead the offense with 10 kills, keeping Kansas in the game for another tie score at 8-8. The Jayhawk offense improved dramatically in the third set, hitting for a .173 efficiency and scoring 13 kills, but could not outmatch the Cornhuskers. The Jayhawks started the set by staking out a two point lead at 2-0 and again at 4-2, helped out by a kill from Kaiser and solo block from sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree. Kaiser, Garlington and Jarmoc con- Once again, the Cornhusker kept their offensive machine running and established a dominant lead. Delano and Licht repeatedly teamed up to block Kansas.

Tolefree said that even a small lead could mean a lot. Nebraska made a 12-2 run to take a 22-12 lead before Kaiser took a small chunk out of the lead with back-to-backkills. TheCornhuskers responded with a three-point run and ended the set 25-14. "With a team like that, it's really difficult to come back and tie it, let alone take a lead again," Tolefree said. Nebraska stayed just out reach, four or five points ahead, for the rest of the set until closing out the match at 25-19. Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhaws lost sight of the game plan at times, which is unusual. "We just need to slow them down more offensively," he said. "It's a team destined, I'm sure, to play deep into December. We'll take some positives out of this and, obviously some things that we've got to create more opportunities for ourselves defensively and we'll get ready for Colorado." The Jayhawks stay in Lawrence for a rematch with the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday. In their last meeting, on Sept. 25, Colorado topped Kansas in a five-setter in Boulder.

"He was calm." Washington said. "He was like, 'I've been here before.' And I knew he hadn't. So when I looked into his face and looked into his eyes I was, 'OK, he's ready, I'm ready, too.'" Morris expected to redshirt this season. But instead, barring some crazy change of events, he will make his first college start on homecoming Saturday against Maryland at Sun Life Stadium. Maryland at this usual starter Jacory Harris has a concussion. He did not practice Tuesday and likely will not play Saturday, said UM coach Randy Shannon. The coach came short of publicly naming Morris the starter, but he already was informed he's the guy. nes the gay Like Harris, Morris has been made off-limits to the media. "Three or four weeks ago, backup A.J. Highsmith got a little injured," Shannon said. "As a coach you've got to make decisions: 'OK, what if the game was today, what would you do?' So I made the decision to start getting him reps here and there with the ones and twos, and start having him throw the ball to guys, hand the ball off ... get in sync with the offensive line. in sly way to win over the "Three or four weeks down the line, the guy really did a nice job in the game.

He also ran for a 9 yard run. He waning minutes, and the Cavaliers went on to win 24-19. "He asked, 'What did you expect from me?' I said, 'I expected you to lead this team to victory, nothing less.'" attempts. UM trailed 24-0, and Morris, despite throwing two interceptions, led the Canes to 19 consecutive points in the fourth quarter to give UM a fighting chance. But the defense could not stop UVA on two crucial third-downs in the ALVIN SLAUGHTER Miami coach touchdown. His fourth quarter numbers: 7 of 13 for 150 yards and two TDs. 'Honestly? You looked nervous as hell.' "He called me right after the game and asked me. 'How did I look, Coach?' said Pace coach Alvin Slaughter. "I was like," "He asked,'What did you expect from me?' I said, 'I expected you to lead this team to victory, nothing less.' "I actually believe if they would have had another possession he would have gotten it done ... I really believe they've got themselves the future with Stephen — and if not this year, they've finally got themselves a damn good backup." Morris' parents, Bernadette and Colin Morris, run a Christian-based public relations, marketing and advertising agency called Sonshine Communications. Bernadette is the owner and Colin is the CEO. She got her master's degree in public administration from FIU and her bachelor's in communications from North Florida. He got his master's in public health from Michigan and his bachelor's in finance from Kalamazoo College, where he was a linebacker and safety. Morris, 6-2 and 183 pounds also can hit the books. He had a 3.8 grade-point average in high school. Saturday with Colin and Stephen's older sister, Rebecca. Mom still closes her eyes when Stephen has the ball. She doesn't want to see him hurt. "We're working on it", Colin said. Bernadette will be at the game Stephen's mom described him as "a very mild-mannered gentleman and very focus-driven." Said his dad: "He's a real hard worker. He knows what he wants to accomplish and there's not much in his way to stop him. He's not the jokester, not the class clown. He's confident and it's contagious. "That 9-yard touchdown, he was not going to be denied. He said, 'Dad, I saw the guy there and he wasn't going to stop me from getting in the end zone.'

Vince Carter had 20 points, Ryan Anderson scored 19 and the Magic shook up the starting lineup to score 78 points in the opening half for an easy win. Orlando started Anderson at power forward, moved Rashard Lewis to small forward and bumped Quentin Richardson out of the starting lineup. The new-look lineup worked just fine. Kevin Love had 22 points and Corey Brewer scored 12 for the Timberwolves, who lost on consecutive nights in Florida by 74 points. Minnesota fell by 32 a in Miami and has lost four of its first five games. The well-rested Magic sure took out their frustrations. With Howard doing his work on the inside, that freed up Orlando's shooters to hit 3-pointers at will. Anderson alone hit three straight 3-pointers on consecutive possessions, Carter had three 3s and J.J. Redick and Chris Duhon combined to hit three more to give the Magic a 78-45 lead. The Magic shook up the starting lineup to score 78 points in the opening half for an easy win. And that was just the first half. The lengthy lineup exposed the Timberwolves' lack of depth, size and overall talent against one of the Eastern Conference's elite. The play was often embarrassing at times for Minnesota, too. Of course, the Timberwolves didn't put up near the fight as LeBron James and the rival Miami Heat, who routed Orlando 96-70 in the Magic's last game Friday night. Minnesota was already playing short-handed with Michael Beasley nursing a sore left hip after he took a hard fall at Miami on Tuesday night. It was a strong showing — albeit against one of the NBAs worst teams — for Magic coach Stan Van Gundy's lineup swap. For the first time in years in a regular-season game, Orlando started Lewis down at small forward and moved Anderson into the lineup at power forward. same night Orlando set an NBA record with 23 made 3-pointers. The outpouring was the most points in a first half in franchise history, breaking the previous mark of 75 against Sacramento on Jan. 13, 2009. That was the On one play in the third quarter, Love and Brewer inadvertently tipped a rebound in for a Magic basket. Wayne Ellington dribbled the ball off his leg earlier in the game for a backcourt violation, and Howard swatted Minnesota shots into the stands more than once. The Timberwolves also had to contend with a Magic team that been simmering for five days since the Heat blew them away. the tayoff was prolonged because Orlando's game Tuesday night at the New York Knicks was postponed due to safety concerns at Madison Square Garden, where debris fell into the arena during overnight cleaning of asbestos-related materials.

Ask for Zach hawkchalk.com/172 100 Walk-on fills problem position for N.C.State RALEIGH, N.C. — Football wasn't the primary reason Andy Leffler wanted to transfer to N.C.State. The 5-foot-10 punter from Dublin, Ohio, was eager to get to N.C. State to study to be a veterinarian after three years as a backup for Elon's football team "If you would have sat me down five or six years ago and told me that I'd be playing for a Division I school and playing football on national television, I would have told you, you were crazy," Leffler said. Leffler was unhappy about the limited playing time he had logged, but his father Jon Leffler encouraged him to continue playing football. So, after speaking with the N.C. State coaching staff, Leffler walked on and became the answer to one of the Wolfpack's biggest on-field problems. Yet here he is, not only starting, but thriving at a position that has long caused N.C. State trouble. Leffler's average of 41.5 yards per punt is the highest for an N.C. State player since John Deraney averaged 41.9 yards as a sophomore in 2004. Leffler isn't the only one who had not envisioned him occupying this position, however. A strong-legged scholarship player from Georgia named Chris Ward was supposed to be the answer for N.C. State as a redshirt freshman. But he was suspended from the team in the spring and did not return to the program for the 2010 season. Jeff Ruiz, who struggled in 2009 as a starter, had decided to transfer but returned to reclaim his starting job. After he averaged just 37.1 yards per kick over his first three games, the coaching staff decided to give Leffler a chance. "He has a tremendous upside in terms of his flexibility," said N.C. State special teams coach and recruiting coordinator Jerry Petercuskie. "If you notice him on the field, he really has unbelievable extension. He still has to improve his drops, and he still has to improve technically sliding under the ball sometimes. But when he hits the football, for a little guy, he puts it in orbit." Leffler never would have had the opportunity to play this season if not for the work of his father and Petercuskie. In order for the NCAA to waive the standard requirement that transfer students must sit out a year, Petercuskie said, the Lefflers had to show that Andy was not recruited by Elon before he walked on there. Proving that and transferring his academic credentials required a huge amount of paperwork by Jon Leffler and Petercuskie before Leffler got clearance to play. He made his first start Sept. 25 at Georgia Tech and has been solid since he entered the lineup. He met a personal goal by hammering a punt that hung in the air for five seconds on Oct. 9 against Boston College. He has downed 10 of his 18 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line. But he isn't sure what to expect in the future. Before his emergence, Wil Baumann of Wilmington's Hoggard High committed to N.C. State as a scholarship player, with plans to take over the starting punter job in 2011. So Leffler will face strong competition next season, but he said he's OK with that. He already has gotten more out of his experience at N.C. State than he had ever imagined. After struggling to consistently deliver good punts in the preseason, when coach Tom O'Brien said about every third Leffler punt was a shank, he has rarely had a poor punt in his five games as a starter. "Once he's had the opportunity to perform, he's made the most of it," O'Brien said, "and it's been a great boost to our football team." 6B / SPORTS / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM NBA Detroit remains winless ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — Al Horford had six straight points in an 18-4 run to finish the game and the undefeated Atlanta Hawks beat the winless Detroit Pistons 94-85 on Wednesday night.

Gordon opened the final period with consecutive baskets to start a 10-2 run that gave the Pistons a 76-72 lead. The Hawks were without top sub Jamal Crawford, who suffered a right turf toe injury in Tuesday night's win at Cleveland. Crawford. chosen as the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year last season, is averaging 15.8 points per game. It's not known how long he will be sidelined. The Hawks already were without another top backup, guard Maurice Evans, who missed his fourth straight game with a right knee injury. Hawks rookie Jordan Crawford, who played only two minutes over the first four games, moved into a more prominent role and scored his first career points with a jumper late in the first quarter. It was his only basket of the game. The Pistons took advantage of Gordon's matchup with Mike Bibby. Gordon opened the game with a reverse layup and continued to attack Bibby, scoring 11 of the Pistons' first 16 points. ODD NEWS Octopus replaces World Cup predictor OBERHAUSEN, Germany — Paul the Octopus' successor has made his public debut — but his keepers aren't yet promising deep soccer insight from the youngste The original Paul correctly predicted the outcome of eight matches at the World Cup.

Paul halls from near Montpellier in southern France and weighs nearly 10.5 ounces (300 grams); Associated Press Bruins' Thomas saves 33 in 5-2 win against Buffalo NHL ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tim Thomas made 33 saves in his seventh straight win, and Brad Marchand and Michael Ryder had a goal and assist each to lift the surging Boston Bruins to a 5-2 victory over the Ryan Miller-less Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Thomas (7-0), who entered with a 0.50 goals-against average after consecutive shutouts, had his shutout streak of 167 minutes, 12 seconds snapped by Drew Stafford's second-period goal that made it 4-1. Andrej Sekera also scored for Buffalo, which came in with the second-fewest points (8) in the NHL after winning the Northeast Division last season. Thomas allowed more than one goal for the first time this season, but tied a career high for longest winning streak. Patrice Bergeron, Blake Wheeler and Milan Lucic also scored for Boston (7-2), which set a franchise record by winning its fifth consecutive road game to open a season. Thomas' best save came as the Sabres' 37-second, two-man advantage was winding down with 13 minutes to go. He dived and reached behind with the paddle of his stick to deny Derek Roy's stuff-in chance at the right post. The sliding Sabres (3-8-2) lost their fourth straight, and played with Miller out of uniform for the first time this season. Miller is nursing an undisclosed lower body injury that he tweaked late in Friday's overtime loss to the Atlanta Thrashers. Rookie Jhonas Enroth, recalled from Portland of the AHL, got the surprise start for Buffalo over regular backup Patrick Lalime, but was pulled after surrendering three goals on 12 shots in one period. Lalime then gave up two goals on 13 shots. The 22-year-old Enroth made just his second career NHL start, both against the Bruins. Boston has won seven of eight since opening the season with a loss to Phoenix. loss to Phoenix. Buffalo welcomed back right wing Jason Pominville, who missed nine games because of a concussion sustained when he was hit into the boards from behind by Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. Boston scored three times in the first period, including short-handed goals by Marchand and Bergeron. Marchand scored on a breakaway after taking Tim Connolly's errant pass in the Boston zone. Bergeron wristed in his second of the season from the top of the right circle. the top of the Right It was Marchand's first NHL goal. Wheeler pushed the Bruins lead to 3-0 with his first of the season with 3:06 left in the first period. Standing just outside the corner of the crease, Wheeler lifted in Ryder's pass from behind the net after outmuscling Stafford. Ryder made it 4-0 at 2:11 of the second, wristing a shot past from the lower portion of the right circle past Lalime. Eat at Bigg's BBQ BEWARE OF THE HOG!!!

EcoHawks' GMC Jimmy project. The group is working to convert the car into a fully-electric vehicle. Petty said the group hopes to save the project completed by the end of spring. The 1997 GMC Jimmy, a small sport utility vehicle, sits dropped up on car jacks in the KU EcoHawks' garage on West Campus. It's a definite change of scene from the police impound at where the Jimmy sat for two years before being donated to the EcoHawks. But for now, the conversion is a work in progress. Instead of a gas engine, the Jimmy will be powered by a main electric motor and two auxiliary motors, Petty said. The motors right now — no tires, a battered back fender and a missing front end. The EcoHawks removed the Jimmy's engine last week. — the gas pedal line here, air bags wires there. "It's that hands-on learning that makes them the best engineers."

The batteries — similar to those that cordless drills use — are about the size of AA batteries. Just as each system in the car's engine has to work in unison, Petty said the group members have to work together as well. The 12 students working on the project have a different area of focus. Jon Kalinowski, a senior from Wichita, is focused on power steering. He said he enjoys the freedom and hands-on learning that the project provides. "I love the fact that we aren't just doing theory," he said. "We're not just sitting in a lab. We're not just on the Internet or reading books." The students have to research, theorize and then put their work into practice. After the car is finished, KU Libraries will use the car to deliver on-campus mail. The campus mail route includes main and West Campus buildings in addition to continuing education buildings on Kasold Drive. On a typical day, the KU Libraries mail vehicle travels about 22 miles. Petty said the electric vehicle would be able to travel 80 to 90 miles before a recharge. Lars Leon, associate librarian for KU Libraries, said the libraries encourage sustainability. The electric vehicle is another step in that direction. There shouldn't be any worry that the Jimmy won't be noticed. Petty said the EcoHawks hope to paint the frame lime green and the body white. Edited by Lisa Curran "It's that hands-on learning that makes them the best engineers," said Chris Depcik, EcoHawks advisor and assistant professor of mechanical engineering.

Golden blonde curls rest gently on her back, strategically shaken out of her ocean blue eyes. A hint of freckles rest on her blushed cheeks, complemented by a bright white smile. She is my Facebook profile picture, and has been since September 1, 2010. I'm not one to replace my photo as often as I change my photos, therefore I've only had 56 portraits of myself through almost five years of logging onto Mark Zuckerberg's social site. And on the occasion I have changed things up, there isn't much variation from one click to the next. I always look happy and pretty — at least I hope I do. But I don't often look like that girl — save for approximately 15 hours of the weekend when I go out. Here's the truth: my hair isn't naturally curly, or straight, as it is in some pictures. It's California surfergirl kind of wavy, and almost always thrown back in a messy ponytail. And that painted face? If you run into me on campus you'll find barely more than a swipe of foundation on my pale cheeks. As for feminine dresses and tight skirts, most of the time I feel too athletic to pull them off. My weekday wardrobe is composed of nylon Nike shorts, faded t-shirts and neon running shoes. Yet I choose to represent myself to the online realm as the made-up version of myself. Why? It's because I think I look more attractive as that weekend girl, when I actually feel more attractive as my routine weekday girl. I give in to what I think others want to see. Facebook gives us the opportunity to create an identity, however close or far away from our actual personality. We decide what to highlight and what to hide away. We can put it all on the line by listing our interests, inspirational quotes and contact information, or we can choose to be mysterious and not reveal certain pieces of our lives. For more on our personal identities and evolution with social media, check out Josh's story on page 12. Every day I open up my Facebook profile page and see her, wide-eyed and enthusiastic in the top left corner of my browser. I may not look as polished or feel as happy as her all the time, but she reminds me that I sure as hell can be.

Buckle up, American --- A 0 CONTACT KANSAS IN HEAT // A STICKY SITUATION ❤️ > Tackle the sticky world of relationships. Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Wednesdays at 11 p.m. on KJHK, 90 7th and at kjhk.org. THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY. KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP. Q. My boyfriend really enjoys when I perform oral sex, but I have bad gag reflexes and I can't stand the taste of his semen. Can he change the taste of his semen? A. This is a question where science and practice differ. Most doctors will say that semen is made up of a specific blend of substances that provide a stable environment for sperm. In short, there is nothing you can do to change that mixture of substances. Porn stars, however, disagree with this finding. Porn star Annie Sprinkle claims to have tasted the semen of more than 1,000 men, and says vegetarians taste the best. There is the myth that fruit juices like pineapple juice can change the taste of your semen. But even the people that claim it works say you have to maintain a high diet of fruit juices. I'm guessing your boyfriend does not want to alter his diet. Try putting peppermint or wintergreen-flavored candy in your mouth afterwards or during. If you choose during, be careful that you don't choke. As far as your gag reflex problem goes, gagging is partially triggered from anxiety. Take control during oral sex and discover how deep works for you. If you want to stimulate a deep throat sensation, warm up your hands, put some lube on them, and stroke the base of your partner's penis while you perform oral sex. Most 'sexexperi' agree that the stimulation will be very similar. CATCH OF THE WEEK // BRAD FOSTER MIKE ANDERSON IDEAL DATE: In my opinion a great date is where you share a unique experience with someone else. Going to dinner and then a movie is so cliché. TURN ONS: This might be a little weird, but I love girls with small feet. If your feet are bigger then mine I don't know if it will work out. Girls in glasses are sexy, too. I like girls that can talk about current events and know a little bit about science. TURN OFFS: It is unattractive to see a girl with a cig hanging out of her mouth. Also, girls that use the f-bomb more then sailors in the Navy [are unattractive.] Everyone has their moments, but if the f-bomb is the only word you can think of in college that is just sad. WHY I'M A CATCH: I will probably be working for a network in New York or The Weather Channel in Atlanta in about 15 years, so my lifestyle should be pretty awesome. I am HOMETOWN: Seattle, Wash. YEAR: Junior MAJOR: Atmospheric Science INTERESTED IN: Women outgoing and never opposed to trying new things or jumping outside my comfort zone every once in a while.

Buckle up, Americal --- A 0 CONTACT 1 UNCOMMON CRITTERS STUDENTS SHOWCASE THEIR LOVING RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNCONVENTIONAL PETS SARAH GREGORY Audrey does on a cut each week. She spends her days stinking around or hiding under a rock. Around the house she is the object of a cat's desire and frequent warm shirt sleeves. When she is out and about, she is the life of the party. Audrey also happens to be a ball python, and Natalie Peterflügen, Overland Park graduate student, is her proud parent. Peterfluugen decided to take an alternate route when picking a pet. In lieu of the common cat, dog or goldfish, some students choose something a little less common — a snake, hedgehog or turtle, for example. Sometimes these animals double as night-out accessories or conversation starters, but always they seem to be a companion above all, just like their more cuddly counterparts in the world of pets. Peterfluugen wanted a snake since she was in elementary school, but her mother thought otherwise. When Peterfluogen came to college, she took advantage of her independence to get the animal she had always wanted. Four years later, she is still glad she made that decision. "Snakes are the easiest pets in the world to care for," she says. "You feed them and clean their cage weekly. You can leave town; you can take them to parties. They are the ideal pet." Sherry Emerson, owner of Pet World, 711 W.23rd St, can vouch for this: "Reptiles are usually well-suited for people with active, busy lifestyles," she says. "As the 'convenience pet of the future,' it's not surprising that people of all ages and types keep reptiles as pets." Peterfluugen also says people's opinions of snakes have changed upon seeing Audrey. "I feel like there were a lot of people in my life who were iffy about snakes, then they meet Audrey and they end up having a different attitude. Even my Mom." Peterfluugen isn't the only one jumping on the uncommon critter bandwagon. Kyle Flynn, Denver sophomore, just brought his baby hedgehog Maximus home three weeks ago. He originally wanted a dog, but couldn't have one in the house he moved into. That's when one of the roommates remembered that his babysitter used to have a hedgehog. The boys found a hedgehog breeder in lola, and a few weeks later they brought home their little prickly girl. She has been a crowd pleaser ever since. Though Flynn and his roommates are quick to point out some of Maximus' distinct qualities, they don't think she's very different from other small mammals. "The way we see it, mice, rats and hamsters are just basically quill-less hedgehogs," he says. However, different types of pets do come with their share of challenges. Christen Nelson, Wichita junior, is the first to admit that. Two years ago she tried her hand at owning an aquatic turtle. "I've always liked turtles," she says. "Ninja turtles, regular turtles..." The creature died within two months. It wasn't until a few weeks ago when she brought home the newest addition to her apartment — Jeffrey the yellow-bellied slider — that she learned what the problem with the first turtle was, which the Florida shop owners who sold him to her failed to mention. "A lot of people are intrigued by the fact that we have a hedgehog. It's obviously not a common pet," Flynn says. "Girls especially want to see her." Photo by Jerry Wang For the guill of it: Owning an exotic pet like a hedgehog can be just as rewarding as cuddling up with a purrying cat or barking dog. Many unconventional animal owners find their pets to be conversation starters, as well as companions. "Aquatic turtles need full spectrum lighting and calcium in their diets." Nelson says. She immediately went and bought all the necessary supplies — a properly-sized tank, attachable rocks for basking, and a UV-B heat lamp. Jeffrey is now living a happy and healthy turtle life. “Aside from the fact that I can't cuddle him or play fetch, it's still the same [as owning any other pet],” Nelson says. “I love him just as much.” CONSIDERING A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY?

Between 1986 and 1999, Steve Hawley spent 770 hours and 27 minutes in space. He's one of about 500 people to leave Earth's atmosphere, and now teaches astronomy and physics at KU. Launch is strange. That's why we train so much on the ground. If something happens, your instincts need to lead you in the right direction until your brain catches up.

We used to wear what a jet pilot would wear, and after the Challenger shuttle disaster we wore these big, bulky, uncomfortable space | BY STEVE HAWLEY / AS TOLD TO JOSH HAFNER | suits with survival equipment; two emergency oxygen tanks and a parachute attached. You're also wearing a helmet over a black and white communications cap, called Snoopy caps, so you hear the ground team talking and your crewmates on board. While the shuttle remains on the launch pad you're lying on your back. Out the windows, all you see is sky. As flight engineer, I sat between the commander and pilot. The metal chair you're on isn't well padded or comfortable. The first 30 seconds are loud. You go from one G of gravitational pressure—what you feel on earth—to three. And though you're strapped down, you feel every effect. As the pressure builds, the oxygen bottles on your body tighten up against it. Launch is uncomfortable. The shuttle has two rocket motors and three liquid engines. The rocket motors jettison at a certain altitude. Then the acceleration falls off and you go from three Gs back to one.

She moves with ease, showing the men how to lead the East Coast Swing. When the music starts, Owens takes the instructor's hand and waist, aligns his frame with hers, looks her in the eyes and takes the lead. Owens, Lawrence junior, has wanted to dance since he was 12 years old, but didn't think dancing was as acceptable for males as it was for females. That was until he discovered partner dancing at the University. He decided to stop caring about what others might think. "The only things in people's way are themselves," he says. Although traditional partner dancing, including dances like the Tango, Waltz and Swing, may never be as popular at a club on a Friday night, the partner dancing communities on campus and throughout Lawrence treasure the art of moving in stride with another individual. Such communities include KU Ballroom Dance Club and KU Swing Society, which are campus organizations, and Lawrence Tango, a community organization. Before joining KU Ballroom Dance Club three years ago, Brigitta Wade, the current president of the club, had no experience with partner dancing. Her grandmother had taught her the basic box step when she was a kid, but that's it. Wade, a Raytown, Mo. graduate student, didn't know anyone in the club, but that didn't matter. She says she wanted to join because ballroom dancing was something new and different for her, especially as a master's student Photo illustration Jerry Wang Shall we dance? Though traditional box steps and tango moves have been replaced by bumping and grinding at bars, organizations on campus and in the Lawrence community still favor partner dances. Beginners can learn how to make the moves on the dance floor, and in some cases, their partner. in architectural engineering. In addition to learning the dance steps, Wade says she enjoys partner dancing because it is a pleasant way to socialize. "Ballroom dancing is an old-fashioned, chivalrous type of thing," she says. Partner dancing used to be part of mainstream culture, and was a social event where people interacted with one another. But such dancing is not an activity reserved for your grandparents' generation. Wade says a lot of the music the class dances to is varied and current, including songs by Metallica and Madonna. Just as music has helped make partner dancing modern, so has the reality TV show Dancing with the Stars, which is a dancing competition that pairs professional dancers with celebrities. Christie Curtis, one of the dance instructors for the KU Ballroom Dance Club, says the show has inspired young people to learn how to partner dance, just like Saturday Night Fever inspired her to learn how to Disco. But Curtis soon dropped Disco and developed an interest in ballroom dancing. In addition to teaching lessons, she also competes as a ballroom dancer on the International Standard level and has been dancing competitively for almost 30 years. But most people who partner dance in the Lawrence community have much less experience than Curtis. They show up not only to learn how to dance, but also to socialize. Doug Nickel, creator of the Lawrence Tango organization, says his dance lessons are a great place for men and women to interact and have tactile contact with one another, but in an appropriate way. Tango dancing also allows a person to get to know someone by the way he or she moves, without any verbal communication. Tango, like most other partner dances, requires no choreography, but flourishes on improvisation. As a result, each person develops his or her own dancing style. Although partner dancing lessons provide an ideal environment for men and women to interact, Shawnee senior Alix Augustine, KU Swing Society president, says men often hide behind the misconception that guys don't dance. "Girls like guys who dance," she says. By舞, Augustine means more than the "high-school sway" and what she calls "freak dancing" or grinding. As Kenneth Owens leads Christie Curtis, the instructor wearing the strappy black heels, around the room, he makes some mistakes. He's only been dancing since the beginning of the semester. Sure, he may step on a few toes every now and then, but he says he's having the time of his life. "I was already confident [before dancing]." Owens says. "I just didn't know how to show it." JP Brad Anderson, Overland Park senior, joined KU Swing Society in January 2009. He says he had very little experience with swing, but he committed himself to learning, worked hard and by the end of that semester he finally felt confident with the dances. He says from then on swing dancing has been like riding a bike. He also found a girl in the club, Maureen Mulvihill, Perry junior, who has been his girlfriend for more than a year. He now encourages his other single friends who are looking for a relationship to attend the lessons. "Look at this proven success," he says. Tie on those dancing shoes and check out the following dance organizations. Lessons are open to all members of the Lawrence community and you don't have to come with a partner to participate.

Last month, Marla Spivak became the fourth KU alumni to win the Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's Fellows Program. She was one of 2010's 23 winners of the prestigious $550,000 no-strings-attached award, also dubbed the 'genius grant', for her work with honeybees. Spivak got her Ph.D. from the University in 1989, and is now a Distinguished McKnight Professor in the department of entomology at the University of Minnesota. There, Spivak's work has focused on developing strains of bees that are better able to defend themselves from diseases contributing to the alarming drop in bee populations over recent years. Jayplay How did the University impact your work on bees? Marla Spivak: KU was the mecca for research on bees when I was there. I came to work with Chip Taylor, my advisor, who had gotten money to study Africanized bees. But also, Charles Michener, a world-renowned bee biologist, and Rudolph Jonder, a world-renowned behavioral entomologist, were a part of this prominent bee community that influenced me greatly while at KU. JP How did you receive the news of your genius status? It's actually just the media that calls it the genius grant—the MacArthur Foundation calls it awards for creativity. But they kind of set me up, telling me I had an interview with a freelance writer in my office, and that's where they called me.I was in disbelief.Very excited,but mostly just disbelief. JP Did you celebrate? JP I went out to dinner with a friend. I'm actually not comfortable with the attention it's brought.I love the work I do, so being honored is great. I'm not discussing where the money will go yet, but the beekeeping community is super excited because it helps promote bee health as we try to answer questions regarding colony collapse disorder and other causes of the depletion in bees we've seen in recent years. Why is colony collapse disorder such a complex problem? MS There are three big elements: the lack of nutrition, or amount of flowers available,the pesticides that are used and the diseases and mites that bees are subjected to. JP Is it true what Einstein said about humans not being able to live more than four years without the honey bee? I believe that's a misquote, but there would definitely be consequences. Around a third of the United States' food supply depends on pollination from bees. Not only our fruits and vegetables, but even the hay we feed our meat and dairy cattle must be pollinated Healthy foods like almonds and berries have had an increased demand, and so our bees, already weakened from lack of nutrition, pesticides and diseases, have to respond to the increase in pollination that comes along with that. You credit the award to your study of the hygienic behaviors in bees. How are the bees that you breed better able to defend themselves from disease? JP Bees have their own immune systems, yet the entire colony acts as one organism as well, so it has behaviors that act as its immune system. We call them hygienic behaviors, such as a bee's ability to detect diseases in the the young bees and then remove them from the nest. So they're basically fighting off an infection that could spread. Some bees are really good at detecting these diseases, so we've been breeding them. BEEKEEPER JP So different bees have different functions. Do they also have different personalities? Yes. Some of them are nervous, some very calm, some are gentle, some like to sting a lot, some are lazy, and some make more honey than others. Most experienced bee keepers get to know their bees pretty well. Photo courtesy of the John D. Catherine T.

Buckle up, American 》 4 0 NOTICE Q&A // NATHAN WILLIAMS, SINGER AND GUITARIST OF WAVVES > Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers. WIFI WAVVES, a pop-punk, beach-grunge super-trio from San Diego, has spent the beginning of this year in Oxford, Mississippi recording their album with producer guru Dennis Herring. After joining Fat Possum Records and releasing their new album King of the Beach in August, lead singer and guitarist Nathan Williams, bass player Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes have been surfing the open road, touring all over the country and playing their surfer-punk indie rock sounds at equally grungy venues. Williams, 24, and brainchild of the band, talked with Jayplay about dropping out of high school, growing up as a soccer rat and how he fell into a project that's evolved into what's now known as WAVVES. Jayplay: Any highlights from the tour so far? Nathan Williams: We played a show at the Glasshouse in Pomona that was pretty cool. I hadn't been there since I was a kid. Just a bunch of insane kids losing their shit. There have been a couple sinkers along the way, but we haven't had a show that people didn't like. JP: How was recording with Dennis and putting your concept into someone else's hands? Was it a little freaky for you? NW: It was a little weird. It was like handing your baby off to a babysitter. Throughout the mixing and recording process, I was sitting right next to Dennis. I was a little bit annoying, but if I wouldn't have been there it wouldn't have turned out how I wanted. JP. Who were your influences for King of The Beach? NW: Nirvana, a lot of alternative music like Green Day and a lot of pop punk stuff. The Beach Boys is obvious because of the name of the album, but I also think The Beatles, particularly structure-wise and melodies. JP: 'Take On The World' is optimistic and grasps a musician's dream of spreading music as far and wide as possible. Would you agree? NW: It's funny because whenever anyone asks me about that song they're like, 'Why were you so depressed?' No, not really. I talk about how I'm the shit a lot on the album, but yes, sometimes that's just how you feel. It's weird when people ask me if I'm depressed and if I'm going to kill myself. If I keep getting asked those kinds of questions, I might. JP: I heard you say in a video interview that the band, 'got as big as it did on accident.' What did you mean by that? NW: I recorded some demos and I wasn't going to show them to anybody, but I showed my friend Jeremy who runs a label in New York and he really liked it. I just kind of let the song sit there and it just snow-balled. JP. What were you like in high school? JP What were you like in high school? NW: I dropped out of high school in tenth grade. I wore whatever the skateboarders I watched wore, so cargo pants and skate shoes and Kid Dynamite t-shirts. I just dressed like a southern California kid. JP Did you grow up taking guitar lessons? JP Did you grow up taking guitar lessons? NW: No I never took guitar lessons. I got a guitar when I was 11 and just wanted to play music to meet girls or something. I kind of just screwed around with my friends and played soccer my whole life. Then finally when I was 17 I was like, 'Ok fuck this. I can't do this anymore.' JP: Did you want to go to college? NW: Yeah. I had scholarships to a couple of schools but I didn't feel like college was for me. And if you look at how much Major League Soccer players make it's like $30,000 a year, so I think I chose pretty well.

I'll sit down at the computer with a very specific task — downloading a PDF file from my ethics class or checking an email from a professor — and somehow, when I click that browser address bar and begin typing, there it appears — facebook.com — almost unconsciously. unconsciously. A study last year at University College London found that it takes about 66 days of repetition to form a habit. For most students, typing "facebook.com" is a daily, some say hourly, ritual. A 2007 Michigan State study counted the site at 50 million users, including 94 percent of U.S. college undergrads. Three years later, Mashable.com reports the site now boasts 500 million users, each spending an average of 55 minutes a day on the 'book. Clearly, the muscle memory in my fingers is catching on. Recent hubbub has been made about the growing role of social media in student life. The Social Network, David Fincher's pseudo-biopic on Facebook's birth at Harvard, received high praise for telling how founder Mark Zuckerberg made "friend" a verb. At the same time, the suicide of a Rutgers freshman after online bullying made national headlines, prompting an Oct. 1 letter in The New York Times on "how enmeshed young adults are with technology." The writer desired "young people to create healthy identities and be 'whole' without the obsessive need to be connected and share everything over the Internet." everything over the past week. So do we have "whole" and healthy identities? Have increasingly networked lives "enmeshed" us in the web? Yes and no, say experts who study the effect our growing digital lives has on our relationships, and in turn, our understanding of ourselves. Socially networked life, it turns out, mirrors our face-to-face lives, only frozen and broadcast to all. Actions always present in everyday life — the sharing and comparing, the self-promoting and conforming are accelerated, each one leaving a digital trail. We form our identities by interacting with other people, says Nancy Baym, author of Personal Connections in the Digital Age. "From the day we're born, people give us messages about who we are," she says. What's more, humans seem to have a built-in need to confirm experiences through telling them to others. Behind every story that begins with "You will not believe what happened last night" lies a desire for that story to be acknowledged and confirmed. When another person recognizes an experience, it somehow exists outside of our own memories and feels permanent. And this process of identity-through-confirmation exists with or without the Internet. Relationships play out online much like they do in real life, Baym says, except for two key factors: storage and reach. “Storage” refers to the Internet's ability to log and record our actions, such as "wall-to-wall" conversations on Facebook or a series of Tweets on Twitter. Once published, they stay there to be reread and examined in a way fleeting face-to-face conversations do not, something Megan Do, Wichita senior, realizes. “The funny moments, the interesting observations — they're all there,” she says. "Sometimes for the hell of it I'll read older posts. I'm not talking three days or so. I mean I just keep clicking back and going Wow, I can't believe that happened." Storage allows our online conversations to exist unbound by time constraints of "real life." Do can respond to a friend's comment weeks later, an impossible feat in face-to-face conversation. "Reach" refers to the broadcasting power of online actions — the way a message can go from a bedroom to across campus in the click of a button. In The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to an ex-girlfriend he drunkenly bashes online, a ttrade read all over campus. "It didn't stop you from writing it," she responds. "The Internet's not written in pencil, Mark. It's written in ink." Since Facebook's debut in 2004, growing awareness of how storage and reach affect our online interactions has, in turn, affected those actions themselves. We're careful about what we post, tweet or tag down to the details, lest we're misunderstood. Consequently, we're more aware of how we portray ourselves online, says Ian McFarland, Leawood senior. "People put a lot more thought into their profiles than anyone admits to," he says. "I know I put a lot of thought into it." McFarland's not alone. A cursory glance at any Facebook news feed shows a whirlwind of profile changes: new "friends" are made, display pictures change and people forge new statuses in mere keystrokes. This meticulous flurry makes sense — every detail a user places online acts as an indicator, or cue, that peers can use to understand him. Likewise, he uses his peers' cues to situate and understand himself within this social environment. This process occurs online or off. Baym, author of Personal Connections in the Digital Age, compares it to how children develop their sense of self when peers tease or praise them at school. Yet never in elementary school could I slow friends down in the hallway and endlessly examine them in different outfits, with different sayings in different situations. Never could I know their likes and dislikes, their passions and joys, without actually interacting with them. "That it's stored, accessible and has such reach allows social media to amplify the process," Baym says. "It's so visible. We have this whole data source about who people are to compare ourselves to." Impare ourself so. And compare we do, says Havanah Mahonev facebook SINCE 1970 View Photos of Me (599) View Videos of Me (12) Edit My Profile I shall be made thy music as I come.

"It's easier to see what the people you think are cool think is cool, so you can think it's cool," she says. "If that makes sense." Whether Mahoney's point makes sense, it is supported by science. In 2007, MIT researcher Hugo Liu analyzed more than 125,000 online profiles for his study, "Social Network Profiles as Taste Performance." He discovered users often listed bands of a similar taste or genre as that of their closest friends on a site. This, Liu wrote, "demonstrates knowledge of the group's 'inside secrets.'" However, users would also list something outside of their friends' shared taste: "Wilco, Feist, Radiohead...and also old-school hip-hop," read one profile. Liu theorized that users sought to stand out and define themselves while keeping the inclusionary sense a shared culture brings. We want to fit in but still stand out—to have our social cake and eat it too. Liu's study also asserted that users may meticulously craft not only their favorite bands online, but their entire identity as well.

Buckle up, American 4 0 FEATURE 1 ★ inhabiting a caricature or theatrical persona," he wrote, documenting two profiles maintaining a "manic depressive persona" and 14 profiles with a "sexy persona." Liu even notes one projecting "a 'frat boy' machismo." Ever aware that people whose opinions we care about — a crush from history class, a close friend or potential employer — may see our online selves (via reach) and endlessly analyze it (via storage), we can become self-branders, portraying an image or persona through every possible cue. As a photographer, Mahoney pays attention to profile pictures. "If someone meets you casually and looks you up on Facebook, that's the only thing they'll see of you," she says. "You make sure you look attractive — no acne, no chin fat — so they'll have a notion of you that will hold over." Why strive to create a notion or idea of ourselves? Perhaps we worry we'll lose something in Internet translation — a razor-sharp wit or a firm, perfected handshake. In lieu of physical presence, there's an obligation (or opportunity) to project a notion of yourself online, a distilled version conveying who you are, or at least the better parts. "I think most people put on some slight front," Mahoney says. "You're not going to list what you fail at. You put your achievements, your interesting hobbies — things that will fascinate people." When distilled into a display picture and a paragraph, which facet of someone's life makes it through? Mahoney isn't really sure. "I've never made a profile where I really described who I am," she says. "It's surface layer, two-dimensional stuff. I'm not putting 'Yes', I'm extroverted, but underneath I'm actually sensitive,' — what I'm really about." There's pressure to put our best face forward online, says Oliver James, a clinical psychologist and columnist for The Guardian in England. "Facebook is full of high status moments," he says. In a 2009 column, James expressed concern over social pressures that cause "young people to aim for maximum appeal, self-advertisement" online. Robin H-C, a Toronto-based behaviorist and neuropsychologist, agrees. She says social media's reach allows users to craft an "illusion of grandiose times," whereby statuses, photos and comments become opportunities to project idealized versions of our lives. Nothing quite conveys sociability like posting an entire publicly viewable album of party photos. Less often posted, however, is the album full of people with hangovers. In 1959 Canadian sociologist Erving Goffman released his first book, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Goffman proposes that people play roles in everyday life, crafting an appearance and carefully guiding others' perceptions of them, much like actors. Goffman called this "impression management." Fellow sociologist Barry Schlenker expanded on this in the 1980s, writing that self-descriptions allow people to (consciously or not) "introduce pertinent information for identity construction." Talking one's self up, though, is rarely endearing. Without proper context, he noted, people risked seeming egotistical. What better context then, than Facebook—a service based around broadcasting images and self-descriptions to people in our lives?

At the Kansas Union, I met with Kiley Larson, a Ph.D. student in communication studies who works with Baym, author of Personal Connections in the Digital Age. At surrounding tables students scanned laptops, a few of which displayed the familiar blue and white site. Larson studied last summer at Oxford's Internet Institute, where she and her peers weighed the costs of social media. For some, the constant upkeep of managing digital identities proved tiring. She says people often withdraw from sites like Facebook when they realize they must perform for multiple roles — you have only one profile, but different audiences like friends, family, and employers, who have different expectations. "I think Facebook runs a real risk of putting itself out of business," she says. "A lot of people liked it because it was easy and fun. When it becomes work and a brand to be managed, perhaps it loses some of that fun." Still, for Larson, the costs of leaving Facebook remain too high. A BIG SUR Big Sur 1234567890 As the span and frequency of our online interactions grow, we're realizing the effects of storage and reach. As a result, we're adapting, projecting the ways we want to be perceived in life, but in a flatter, more mediated space. If users of social media aren't whole, it's not because of the Internet — it's only amplified what was already there. Still, there's no denying our digital lives and actions hold some effect on our tangible, physical ones. My Facebook-prone fingers are proof of that.

Contributed photo > if you're going to do this Morning after munchies: Though greasy foods like Taco Bell and McDonald's may sound good as post-hangover meals, the foods don't digest well. Stick to plenty of water and foods loaded with carbs, which soak up the alcohol. When Kyle Black wakes up with a hangover after drinking too much wine, he sticks to light foods and water for the day. "I eat a lot of bread or French toast to soak the alcohol and I make sure to drink a lot of water to rehydrate myself," says Black, Overland Park senior. What you consume when you have a hangover can affect how quickly you recover. Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says water-dense foods like chicken noodle soup and fluids like 7-up will help with the dehydration caused by alcohol consumption. Foods like toast, pasta and plain rice are also good because they are easy to digest. Be sure to stay away from greasy foods, however. "Taxing the GI [gastrointestinal] tract with greasy, high fat foods seems ill-advised to me," Chapman says. Like Chapman, Jane Hemminger, a nutritionist from Des Moines, Iowa says sticking to easily digestible foods is a good idea. "People think any food is better than no food, but that isn't necessarily true," she says. "Greasy foods typically won't settle well." Greasy foods typically Jane Hemminger, a nutritionist from Des Moines, Iowa, says replenishing your B vitamins after drinking alcohol is important. Drinking juices like orange juice and apple juice will help you do this. But the best way to get over a hangover, other than with food, is to sleep. "The longer you allow your alcohol to be absorbed, the better you will feel." Hemminger says. JACQUE WEBER THAT'S DISGUSTING // GERMS ON MONEY > Dude...gross. Bethany Kraus avoids touching paper money whenever she can. "I hate how dirty it is so I always use my debit card, says Kraus, Lincoln, Neb., junior. "That money could have been inside a stripper's g-string for all you know." Paper money usually comes in contact with several different people every day, allowing it to collect germs and bacteria. A 2001 study by Dr. Peter Ender found that 86 percent of the bills he studied had germs such as Streptococcus, which causes strep throat, while 7 percent of bills had more harmful bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, which causes staph infections. Only 7 percent of the bills he studied were germ-free. Jeff Dimond, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says it is possible for money to spread germs since bacteria can live on surfaces for several hours. If someone uses the bathroom without washing their hands or sneezes and then gives you money, all of those germs could be passed on to you. To help prevent the spread of germs and diseases, Dimond suggests getting vaccinated. washing you hands often, using hand sanitizers and keeping your hands away from your nose and mouth.

Devin Hill cleans his ears every morning with a Q-tip after he gets out of the shower. "I hate ear wax," says Hill, Overland Park sophomore. "It's so sticky and gross." Ear wax may be gross, but it protects our ears in several ways. Ear wax, which is made from sweat, dead skin and oils, keeps our ear canals moist and prevents dryness and itching of the ears, says Misti Rank, an otologist from Lawrence Otolaryngology Associates, 1112 W. 6th St. # 216. Rank says ear wax also works as a natural water and insect repellent. However, when treated improperly, ear wax can cause health and hearing problems. When ear wax is compacted in the ear canal, often done by using cotton-tipped applicators like Q-tips, it can cause problems. Compacted ear wax can trap bacteria inside the ear canal, causing infection, itchiness and pain. It can also reduce your hearing ability. "People often push the Q-tip in too far and puncture the ear drum, causing permanent damage," Rank says. "It happens more frequently than you might think." Rank says it's best to leave your ear wax alone. "The ear canal will clean itself out," Rank says. "Our skin is constantly moving outward so the ear wax naturally falls out or is washed off when you shower." If ear wax becomes compacted inside your ear, Rank says it's best to have it removed by your doctor. Verdict Good for you! JACQUE WEBER Contributed photo Wax on, wax off! Hate that sticky stuff inside your ears? Before you take a Q-tip and dig away, know that wax prevents dryness and protects our ear canal.

Buckle up, American --- A HEALTH ORGANIC FOODS: 1 + THE MEANING BEHIND THE LABEL MEGAN RUPP Stephanie Bell knew things would be different after studying in Costa Rica last fall, but she didn't know it would be the contents in her grocery cart that changed. After four months of observing the harsh environmental impact of banana plantations, she returned home with a new commitment to an all-organic diet. "It's one thing to read about something in a textbook and another to see it with your own eyes," says Bell, Leawood senior. "We're so lucky that none of us have to work in packing plants or farm these bananas that are so cheap at Dillons." Bell now buys all of her produce, dairy and meat from local, organic growers. Environmental awareness and an assumed "healthiness" are the main reasons why consumers buy organic food. Organic food sales have risen from $3.6 billion in 1997 to $21.1 billion in 2008. Bell joins 30 percent of Americans who buy organic food at least occasionally according to a 2007 Harris poll. From a green standpoint, Bell is more concerned with the environmental factors of organic food than any health benefits. "I think our bodies are pretty resilient, but I don't think the environment is," Bell says. Barbara Haumann of the Organic Trade Association says pesticides used in traditional farming methods can create "dead zones" in the soil where food can no longer be produced. For those who eat organic because they think it is healthy, Haumann says evidence has shown that organic produce is richer in Vitamin C, iron, magnesium and phosphorous. The environmental benefits have long been understood, but research supporting the added nutritional value is emerging more frequently. The most recent study found that strawberries produced on organic farms were of higher quality. John Reganold, professor of soil sciences at Washington State University, says his team conducted the study to examine the primary reasons consumers buy organic: they think it's healthier, tastes better and is better for the environment. He says the presence of pesticide residues has been proven time and again, so the study focused on nutrition. Reganoid and his team found that organic strawberries had lower concentrations of phosphorous and potassium, but higher antioxidant activity and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) concentration, which promotes immune system health. "You're getting more antioxidants, more Vitamin C and the berries are being produced on healthier soil," Reganold says. Though buying organic may be beneficial to your health, it can hurt your pocketbook. Amber Wheeler, Mason, Mo., senior, buys organic meat, milk, fruit and vegetables, but can't afford going beyond those "basics." "With specialty things like organic flour, there's like a $3 price difference," she says. Wheeler became interested in eating organic after listening to her grandmother, who said "if it's unnatural, it can't be good for you." Despite the growing popularity, equating "organic" with "expensive" remains a common assumption. For Wheeler, it's a price she's willing to pay. "I just feel better," Wheeler says. "I feel sluggish when I eat processed or prepared foods." Leeann Brown, press associate for the Environmental Working Group, says she understands students don't always have the luxury of buying the more expensive option, but thinks it's important for to be aware of pesticide residues on food and have the option of avoiding the chemicals if they choose. "That extra 25 cents you're spending is probably giving you about 10 times the bang for your buck," Brown says. "There are stric MILKY PEPPER standards that organic produce has to meet. So when a student's buying something organic, they know exactly what they're getting and that's a higher quality."

Buckle up, American A MANUAL ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // TOILET REPAIR Hand > In case of emergency, read quickly Ignoring a running toilet can raise your water bill and provide you with a less than soothing 24-hour soundtrack of draining water. "I've seen people who don't know how to change the flappers in their toilets," says John Hamill, Olathe junior. Flappers allow the water to drain into the bowl. "Since they are renting, they just let it run," says Hamill, who helps with maintenance at Brady Apartments, 1530 Tennessee. Stopping a running toilet is a quick and easy task. Daniel Poul, owner of Watersphere Plumbing, says running toilets are the number one reason people waste water. "The reason this happens is the rubber flapper gets stiff over time and can no longer prevent water from draining," Poull says. "Or your water line has a bad connection to the ball cock." Poul suggest the following steps to fixing this problem. First, to replace the flapper turn off the toilet's water and flush. Pull the old flapper off and run your finger around the flush valve to make sure it's smooth. Unscrew the ball cock. This is what floats up and stops the water from coming into the tank. Make sure the connection between the ball cock and water line is okay. Then replace the gasket on the ball cock and screw it back into the tank. Attach a new flapper to the chain and then hook it to the toilet handle. Turn the water back on. Flush to make sure the toilet is running properly. JON HERMES Contributed photo Amy Got the runs?

GET SOME CULTURE // SUMMER AND JAKE > It's not all about fast food and beer pong With sounds similar to Brand New, Swell Season and The Decemberists, Summer and Jake officially started rocking out at their first show on Halloween in 2009. Summer and Jake is a local Lawrence band that is often seen performing at parties on Tennessee Street. They are in the process of getting more gigs. "We are excited about the show we are currently setting up at The Czar Bar in Kansas City," says Summer Bradshaw the band's drummer. Bradshaw, Olathe junior, and Jake Stull, Overland Park junior and the band's lead vocalist and guitarist, first met in a design foundations class in the school of art and design. The summer after they met they started playing music together for fun, and had no intention of growing into something more. Pearl Contributed photo Summer and Jake perform at house shows about once a month, and spend a lot of their time writing new songs. Their most popular songs are "In Need of Sun," "Thugnificent," and "Angelfish." "We look for things in everyday life to inspire our songs." Bradshaw says. She describes the Chemistry in the classroom. After meeting in a class, Summer Bradshaw and Jake Stull began playing music, and it later evolved into Summer and Jake. band's style as Indie, acoustic; and folk Summer and Jake's current songs can be found on their facebook page, "Where the Woodbine Twines." AMANDA KISTNER ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // THE BAR PICK-UP Meeting a girl at a bar can be tricky and nerve wracking. Making eye contact is the farthest some guys go. > In case of emergency, read quickly. "Making eye contact is a good first step, but you can't expect the girl you're interested in to do the work for you," says Tony DeRosso, owner and contributor to the dating website OnlineDatingMatches.com. Approaching someone is easier said than done. DeRosso says practice is key. "Go out to a Starbucks and strike up a conversation with a woman in line who you have no intention of dating," he says. "Just practice your conversational skills with strangers in public." Many well-meaning guys get caught up in their anxiety and find it difficult to actively pursue someone they are interested in, or they make conversation-ending mistakes. "There are guys who will walk up and ask if I have a boyfriend right off the bat," Kelsey Huff, KU graduate and bartender at the Granada, says. "Show some interest in the person. Strike up a conversation." Huff suggests waiting until girls are alone to be approached. "If girls are out and sitting at a table with their girlfriends, they usually don't want a guy to come up and hit on them," Huff says. Though your heart may be racing, flash a smile and say hi. Confidence is the most important thing. Engage the person by looking into their eyes, and you might just score a date, and eventually a relationship. JON HERMES Contributed photo Risky business!

By taking angles, flash and other technique into consideration, you can get beautiful photos with any camera. Dan Smith sits down with friends at the Replay Lounge. His friends, laughing at a story being told, give him the perfect opportunity. He quickly snaps their photograph before they have time to notice Smith's disposable "I'm definitely against photographs that are posed," Smith, Lawrence senior, says. "People get self conscious and try to present themselves in a made up way. I'd rather capture the youthful spirit that posed photographs don't have." In this digital age, people sometimes forgo capturing the true spirit of photography and take photos that feel distant from the moment they are trying to capture. You don't have to be a professional photographer to create something beautiful. All you need is a camera Here are suggestions to help you photograph the things you want to remember for the rest of your life. CANDID SHOTS Like Smith, take charge and capture spontaneous moments when no one is expecting you to. This guarantees unguarded, real moments and wonderful expressions. However, if you have a certain shot in mind, don't be afraid to direct your subject. While not technically candid, if done right, you can still capture a great moment. "You can have a spontaneous picture by directing someone to stand where you want," says Luke Jordan, lecturer of photography for the photomedia department. "If there is something not quite right, ask the subject to move. It's about capturing the spontaneous feeling." You know what your friends are like. Direct them in a way that allows you to capture who they are. ANGLES Trying new angles and perspectives is an important part of photography. Don't be afraid to experiment. Rather than taking a photograph directly in front of someone, try moving around to find a different perspective. or your subject, you can capture a completely different aspect in the photograph. Applying the rule of thirds by positioning your subject to the side of the frame is a good starting point. "I look for interesting moments where people are engaging and I capture those with different angles," says Spencer Knoll, Topeka senior. By reorienting yourself FLASH Flash seems like the go-to setting for most people. Of course, this can be good in low light situations, but the photographs usually turn out bright and are not as visually interesting. Instead, play with your camera's settings so you can capture the mood of a certain time and place. Low light settings on a camera can capture the ambiance of a wonderful evening out with friends. "Flash creates a blanket of light that can produce one dimensional photographs," says Thad Allender, KU alumni and Washington D.C. based photographer. "Available light is more interesting and can help communicate that moment to the viewer." SPACE Think about what you are looking at and what you want people viewing your photographs to see. Each photograph should have one focus. Make sure the background of the photograph is not too busy. "Try to eliminate things from a picture that you are not interested in," Jordan, the photography lecturer, says. "Or think about how background, middleground and foreground create a visually dynamic image." Fill the space of the photograph by getting close to the subject you are trying to capture. If you take a close-up shot, don't use the zoom function. As famed war photographer Robert Capa once said, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." It is important to think outside of the box when taking photographs. Next time you are out with a camera, take a moment to think about what you want out of a picture, and then take it. Or take a hundred. The more photographs you take, the more options you have to choose from. And remember to always carry a camera with you, which includes your phone. The best camera is the one you have with you, Allender says. You can always delete photographs, but you can never get back missed moments. DIGITAL CAMERA SETTINGS Auto Mode: This setting lets the camera do the work. All you have to do is point and shoot. You don't have as much control with this setting and the photographs are typically not as visually interesting. Portrait Mode: Portrait Mode: This setting usually blurs the outer edges of the frame so the focus of the photograph is on the subject. Landscape Mode: This setting offers a wide shot for photographs of nature and anything with a lot of background details. Night Mode: This setting offers a flash to capture your subject in a natural-looking setting at night. If the camera is not held still, photographs will turn out blurry. 11 18 04 10 JACQUELINE ALEXANDREZ GM U COLLEGE DISCOUNT LUCKILY THE GM COLLEGE DISCOUNT DOESN'T.

BIG BAD BIT Contributed photo Full throttle: Quiet Corral hasn't been around for long, but they are already planning to take Lawrence by storm. Their first EP will be released on Dec. 11 at The Bottleneck. The band wants to play their way out of Lawrence, but Flynn says he would choose friendship over fame any day. "Being really good friends outweighs the fact that we're trying to make it," Flynn says. Planning for the band started when Flynn and Leawood senior Garret Childers were in sixth grade. Now the band is a reality and Childers struggles to define their Tom Petty-Radiohead-Outkast-inspired sound. "We aren't on the radio so I guess we're an indie band," Childers says. "We're really just trying to make music everyone can enjoy." Lyricist Jesse Braswell Roberts, 23, is proud they aren't stuck in one sound. Listen for yourself. Play the band's most popular track "Lonely Company" on the Quiet Corral Facebook page. They'll keep making music under one condition: "We'll play as long as we as long people show up," Braswell Roberts says.

Buckle up, America! --- 4 PLAY GREAT EATS, BETTER FEATS SINK YOUR TEETH INTO TASTY FOOD CHALLENGES AROUND TOWN ASHLEY BARFOBOUSH 1 Mike Treat can't feel anything. The clock is ticking and his pile of wings is shrinking. His strategy is simple: just keep eating. Soon the Junction City sophomore's plate is clean and he feels the burning victory that comes with consuming 12 of the hottest wings in town in under six minutes. Photo illustration Chris Bronson Tasy treats: Many eateries in Lawrence offer a challenge for those who are game, like DonDon's sumo challenge, where eaters consume five bowls of rice in less than an hour. Craving a similar challenge? Lawrence is full of them. Stretch your limit, and your stomach, with the following food challenges. BLAZIN' CHALLENGE The Location: Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St. The Challenge: Eat 12 Blazin' Hot Wings in six minutes or less Mike Treat, Junction City sophomore, ate his 12 hot wings in 43 seconds. He set the store record in August and scored his fourth Blazin' Challenge Survivor t-shirt. Treat says the challenge is draining, in more ways than one. "The sauce is so hot it clears out your sinuses," Treat says. "Don't take your time or you'll think about how spicy it is." Buffalo Wild Wings offers a selection of 14 sauces from Sweet BQQ to Blazin', which Manager Greg Johnson advises to keep away from eyes, pets and children. Johnson has three rules regarding the Blazin' Wings Challenge: no water, no celery and no ranch dressing. "It's just you and the wings," Johnson says. Winners and losers must pay for their wings but all winners leave with a t-shirt and their pride. Plus they get immortalized on the Blazin' Challenge picture wall. See if you can beat the national company record of 19 seconds. BURGER CHALLENGE The Location: Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St. The Challenge: Eat a 2 pound hamburger and 1 pound of fries in 30 minutes or less Four half-pound beef patties, six slices of cheese, eight slices of bacon, four onion rings and six deep-fried dill pickles on three hamburger buns may sound like it could feed a fraternity, but it's also enough to get your face on a dollar bill at Jefferson's. Owner Jason Franklin and his staff wanted a challenge that Adam Richman, host of Travel Channel's Man vs. Food, would want to sink his teeth into. With 15 attempts and only four winners, Franklin hopes the cold winter wind blows in more contestants. The steaming tower of meat and side of fries is free to those who finish what they start. Everyone else pays $25 plus tax. "From what I've seen the fries at the end are the hardest," Franklin says. "Get it all down before you get full." If the challenger gobbles it all, Sarah Franklin, owner Jason Franklin's sister, gets out her camera. She snaps a photo and puts the winner's face on a decorated dollar bill, which is placed on the wall of winners. SUMO CHALLENGE The Location: DonDon Japanese Rice and Noodle Bowl Shop, 2223 Louisiana St. The Challenge: Eat five bowls of rice in one hour or less LET'S BOW IN THE FIRST HOUR OF NIGHT Kevin Nguyen thought he was on pace. He had one bowl of curry in his belly and four more on the table. "We were like, 'Wow, this is easy,' then we started looking at the clock and we had like 10 minutes left," Nguyen says. The Shawnee junior tackled the Sumo Challenge with a friend whose picture is below his — on the Wall of Shame. DonDon celebrates the winners and the losers with an equal amount of wall space. Down any combination of five rice bowls in under an hour and join the three champions on the Wall of Fame. DonDon has six rice bowl options ranging from the Chicken Teriyaki-don ($5.95) to the Beef Curry-don ($6.25). Nguyen suggests choosing your combination wisely. "We figured the curry was like liquid and would slide down but it was just too much to handle," Nguyen says. "You also have to watch out mixing the different flavors." Come up with a better strategy than he did and get your food paid for in your new DonDon T-shirt. Finish four bowls and earn a 50 percent discount but still expect to see your face of the Wall of Shame. The Location: GOBILLA CHALLENGE Wheat State Pizza, 711 W. 23rd St. The Challenge: Eat a 24 inch pizza in one hour or less Eat dough to win dough at Wheat State Pizza. The 24 inch, one topping of your choice challenge pizza measures 2 feet in diameter and weighs 7.5 pounds. "We'll give you a pizza and a bucket and start the timer," says co-owner Brad Remington. Choke down the 16 slices, including crusts, in one hour and you'll receive a check for $250 plus the $27.99 you paid for the pizza. "I think it's the hardest challenge in town by far," Remington says. "No one has won it yet." More than 130 people have taken a bite out of the Gorilla Challenge at the Lawrence location but no one has walked away a winner — or $250 richer. "Don't sit down and don't stop," says co-owner Jennifer Remington. Also don't throw up. Tossing your cookies results in disqualification from all competitions. N on ?

(GHOST ARCADE) This punk-glam electronic duo recently got married, and their sophomore release High Voltage Feast Is Almost Started is a honeymoon unlike any other. J+J+J-J is named for the fact that Joanna and Johnny met in a church parking lot so they added Jesus as the third "J." Shortly after touring for their debut album they got married, got a house, and created an in-home studio to hone their skills and use their collection of synthesizers old and new. The results are quite impressive. The majority of the vocals are from Joanna which give the sound something reminiscent of both of Crystal Castle's albums. However, High Voltage... seems to be more wild than CC and more designed to get the party started instead of keep the party going. The album itself starts out fast with the track "Anonymous Party Starters" which can get anybody to join in on the fun. The hard banging beat and numerous layers of succulent synth and powerful lyrics create a wave of good feelings wherever its played. Another cool track is "Tiny Voice" which includes a wobbly bass line and slick slides and lyrics on top. Although my favorite track is "1986 (Ghost Song)" because of its bubbly instrumentals and lyrical duet between husband and wife. These are some of the best instrumentals on the album because they didn't use a repetitive or stereotypical bass line but really tried hard to create something original. Also the addition of male lyrics adds another layer of depth that other songs on the album lack. The amount of work put in and fun that this newlywed couple had while making this album displays itself clearly after a simple listen all the way through. So check out J+J+J today and give your headphones and stereos brand new life. ★★★☆ | ZACK MARSH Spare time? Participate in a Clinical Study.

The all-female four-piece caught the attention of ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, who mixed the band's debut six-song EP in 2009. The release, Exquisite Corpse, was impressive but short, leaving me eager for the group's first LP. Now we've got a full-length, The Foot, on Rough Trade. > KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. the opener, "Set Your Arms Down," begins with a simple and slow melody, but the rhythm almost unnoticeably shifts. The second song, which shares its title with the band's name, almost captures the gloom and off-beatness of Tool's angular aggressiveness, but without the bombastic prog-rock. "Undertow," one of the album's highlights, begins as a woozer, bleaker form of surf rock, but takes off into a post-punk meltdown. "Bees" starts with a strange drum machine and even stranger effected guitar, and different layers subtly begin to stack. Eventually the synthetic beat drops out and everything locks in, but the song keeps throwing out some interesting electronic and glitchy effects. The drums sound distant in the mix, creating a vast, wide-open sonic texture. "Shadows" features unnerving guitar and piano and some pondering about being "drunk and tired," feeling "like a shadow" and the uneasy sense that the city can swallow a person up. person up. The Fool is the kind of album that you listen to softly and alone with headphones, or with the speakers blasting on the highway — it's not quite party music. Warpaint's layered vocal harmonies stand out, and the band accomplishes a unique sound with traditional rock instrumentation. It may sound like the album is a downer as far as mood is concerned, but its tone is tender and ever-shifting. It's dark songwriting, but undoubtedly beautiful. MOVIE REVIEW // HOWL > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" is one of the most popular, if not relevant, poems of the 20th Century in that it articulated the cries of the Beat Generation. Howl, on the other hand, is ambitious, but gets lost in its own attempt to do something similar. The film attempts to present the titular poem through a reading of the poem by its author Allen Ginsberg (James Franco) in 1955, then during the poem's obscenity trial in 1957, then in a series of interviews with Ginsberg after the trial. status as a legitimate literary The directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's knowledge of Ginsberg, the poem, and the whole Beat Generation is sound, yet the film is so uneven. James Franco does a pretty good job as Ginsberg. He resembles him enough, and his mannerisms and delivery, though sometimes a little too punctuated at times, are quite close to his subject. The film tries to do a number of things at once; it's a Ginsberg biopic at times, and tries to capture the Beat sentiment and discuss "Howl" itself, but even then it vacillates between the poem's cultural significance and status as a legitimate literary work. However, the film switches back and forth from Ginsberg, to the poem, then to animated sequences depicting the poem, which are incongruent to the narrative, then flash to the Ginsberg-less obscenity trial, which meditates on the significance of the poem via mild courtroom drama. There are snippets of Beat, Ginsberg and "Howl" in this film, but Howl/itself has no focus, and although spontaneity was key in Beat poetry, so was clarity in vision and voice. Howl only shouts. B.

Buckle up, American A SPEAK 1 LIVING IN A LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP BRENNA LONG Community evidence. Becoming a Bandit, Abhorrer and a no-burner for Boronia High school left. While there may be long nights on dreams or 911 calls, she never made her students develop theApply Best of Elkworth district in 2007-2009 school year planned. What happened this time? I scrambled for my purple tennis shoes hidden somewhere in my dark dorm room. Why must the freshmen do this to me? I had to think a little louder this time to drown out the "Attention, Attention" voice commanding me to evacuate the building. My hands were shaky as I reached for the doorknob. I was a mix of jitters from the abrupt awakening and the fact that this might be a real fire alarm, even though I knew the chances of that being true at 3 a.m. on a Saturday morning were slim. I squinted in the bright hallway lights as I quickly made my way to the front desk of Ellsworth Hall. As a resident assistant, I don't listen to the speaker system unless I am in danger, so I don't follow all the other residents out the side doors like cattle. I got my orders to go clear the fourth floor. Door after door, no resident had stayed inside. My job was done. As I sat at the front desk waiting for the firemen in their yellow overalls to tell me Ellsworth wasn't burning down, I propped my head against the wall and thought, Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this? As a third-year RA, I find these doubts popping up often. If hooligans aren't pulling fire alarms at three in the morning, they're puking against the elevator wall. Sometimes residents get a kick out of ripping down door decorations and posters I put hours into. They lose their keys. They run down the halls screaming profanities. They decorate white boards, and anything for that matter, with penises. They expect me to mediate arguments about who ate whose potato chips. The whole time my mind just wants them to grow up. Then, as I walk across campus, I see an old resident. He or she might holler “Brenna” from down the sidewalk, but usually I get a slight “hi” and a smile. Each time it reminds me why I live where I live. It's not for the free room or late night ambulance calls — it's to be exactly what my title is: a resident assistant. Crisis management is only half of my job. On top of the late-night calls and cleanups, I plan programs, attend meetings, cover shifts and do required "fun" activities such as icebreakers. All the while, the perks are living in this chaos and eating at the dining hall, which I'll be honest, gets less enticing after four years. My job in simple terms is to help residents move into KU and figure out their new life. Because most of my residents are freshman, they are unbalanced. All of a sudden, they live with strangers, set their own schedules and handle their own problems such as finding food, navigating Lawrence and getting to class on time. I wanted to be an RA so I could ease the transition from lost freshman to confident sophomore. The arc of maturity continues until they graduate, but I usually only see the first year. I learned a lot about the personal growth of freshmen and their maturity, or lack thereof, my first year as an RA when I was a sophomore. Sure the eight floor stole a lot of furniture and harassed my co-RA, but we had fun carving pumpkins, playing poker and screaming at basketball games. I think the proximity in age had a lot to do with the bonds I made that year, and I could remember the struggles they faced because I had been in their place a year earlier. My second year as an RA, my freshmen were the same, but I was different. I remember late-night talk shows and table dancing that may have happened in my lobby, but I was less likely to join in this time. I tried to relate to them by giving study advice, but I could no longer help with calculus because I had forgotten it. Despite not relating to them in the same way, I still noticed their growth during the year. Currently in my third year as an RA, I get to watch a new set of residents develop. They already show signs of maturity. They wake up to alarm clocks and wash their own clothes, all without the help of parents. These tasks seem trivial to me, but to new freshman, they're like learning how to walk. The widening age gap has further changed how I relate to my residents. This year I have a tendency to treat my residents more as siblings than peers because my younger brother is their age. In total, I have been an RA to 124 residents. And despite the noise complaints, burnt popcorn smells and bloody 911 calls, I wouldn't trade these three years of my life. I learned a lot about myself while I was making friends and seeing the freshmen develop. I began to understand how much I enjoy helping people. I like making someone feel like they aren't just another speck on campus by knowing their name and asking how their last test went. I also love seeing old residents, including my best friend who will be my maid-of-honor at my wedding in June. Now when I see old residents, I can see the arc of maturity happening. They have found a major, cook for themselves and are looking for internships. I am proud of them, and I am also thankful that the current residents of Ellsworth will be at that point some day. Please be quiet tonight, Ellsworth. I am tired. The elevator doors open, and I start my rounds. It's Saturday night, and as I slowly trudge down the halls during my 1 a.m. rounds, I pass door after door, just wanting to be in bed. Finally finished, I lie in my bed staring at the ceiling, and I am relieved Ellsworth is behaving. Then, as I drift to sleep, I pray no one pulls the fire alarm.

The auction service Sotheby's, valued the original document at at least $2 million. Naismith's original rules valued to be worth $2 million-plus BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com The now yellowed and worn pages Dr. James Naismith drafted 119 years ago for a game he called "Basket Ball" contained the origin of a sport now among the world's most beloved. That two-page document is now being scrutinized and compared to letters from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and hand-written lyrics by John Lennon. "It struck us that this was of the same level of magnitude and significance if not even greater than some of those," said Selby Kiffer, senior vice president and head of the books and manuscripts department at Sotheby's. Sotheby's, one of the world's oldest auction houses, has been tasked with putting a value, or at least a ballpark estimate, on what is the only tangible document representing the origin of a major world sport. The rules will be sold at an auction Dec. 10 in New York. Naismith's grandson, Ian, gave them to Sotheby's. last spring in hopes that their sale could provide a financial boost to the reeling Naismith International Basketball Foundation, which he founded in 1989. Ian told the The Associated Press last week that it was a family decision to auction the rules and that the money would be given to his foundation's charity. The foundation provides support and services for underprivileged children worldwide. Ian said the economy's condition, his health and the death of his wife made it important to him that the rules be used for charity. "We need to take the money and work the money back into kids," said Ian Naismith in an interview with the AP. Kiffer said the document is valued at $2 million-plus, meaning that Sotheby's did not want to put an artificial cap in people's minds of what it might be worth. The last time Sotheby's used an open-ended estimate, Kiffer said, was for Sue, the most complete T-Rex fossil skeleton ever found. It was valued at $1 million-plus and sold for $7.4 million to a Chicago museum. This strategy is also necessary for the rules of basketball because of the document's unusual nature, Kiffer said. 99 SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY and most things like that don't have a starting point," Kiffer said. ball” and “two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between” beget what is now a sport with an eight-figure value.

The copy shows the humble beginnings of a game as big in China as it is here. The rules are surrounded by photos of Naismith, copies of letters from Forrest Clare "Phog" Allen and team photos from Lawrence High School teams from the 1920s and 1930s. It's a scene that begs comparisons to a family tree. "It would be hard to put a price tag on it," Amyx said. -Edited by Alex Tretbar SUSTAINABILITY KU EcoHawks convert donated car to electric Kansas Libraries will use the car to deliver on-campus mail BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com Josh Petty always liked tinkering with machines when he was right now — no tires, a battered back fender and a missing front end.

Angelique McNauahter ADMINISTRATION Officials postpone Perkins' hearing The ethics hearing for complaints against former athletics director Lew Perkins has been delayed until Jan. 25, 2011, according to Carol Williams, the director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission. The commission granted a request for a continuance filed on Oct. 27 by Perkins' attorney, Stephen McAllister. According to Williams, the request for the continuance states that Perkins will be out of the state because of a prior commitment on the scheduled date of the public hearing, Nov. 16. Williams said the hearing dates are Parkins determined Perkins determined without any regard toward the accused parties and the request for a continuance is not uncommon The ethics commission is considering two complaints against Perkins during his time as athletics director. According to an Oct. 17 Kansan article regarding the complaints, the first complaint alleges that Perkins received free athletic equipment by Medical Outfitters in his home in 2005 and that it remained until 2009. The article said the second complaint alleges that in 2005, Perkins requested and received free physical therapy sessions from employees of the University of Kansas Department of Sports Medicine, which is a violation of a state employee policy against accepting free services. Perkins could receive up to $15,000 in fines. The article said the complaints were signed and notarized on Sept.7, the same day Perkins announced his retirement a year earlier than originally announced during a June press conference.

Spencer said he and his friends ride on campus two or three times a week. ashaw@kansan.com Lawrence doesn't yet have a BMX bicycle track, so Will Taylor, a junior from Lawrence, likes to ride his bike off the nearly 10-foot drop behind Wescoe Hall. LARRI-BMX has 10 members, all in their 30s, Brian Shay, LARRI-BMX member and owner of Lawrence Re-Cyclery, said that BMX was most popular in the early '80s and has declined because of home gaming systems. Taylor said the bike he has now can only handle a jump of about 15 feet. Held consider getting a better bike, but he said there's only so much a biker can do around Lawrence. Taylor said he hadn't competed in a race in about eight years. But three or four times a week he and his friends jump from the stairs by Potter Lake and the stairs in front of Wescoe Hall. They also ride on the river trails and paths near Clinton Lake. But a new non-profit group, the Lawrence Area Recreation Riders Initiative, or LARRI BMX, is trying to change that. The group has proposed a 1,500-foot dirt track that would be used for both local riders and regional races. Students on campus seem impressed by the bikers, Taylor said, but sometimes spectators get in the way. "And I'm not too sure how the campus police feel about it." Taylor Taylor and 10 other students use stairs all across campus to get an adrenaline rush. "When you're about to jump 15 feet, you can't be thinking about what might happen," Taylor said. said. ACADEMICS "You have to have a certain mentality for it because it's very demanding," Taylor said. "You're pedaling constantly, falling down and breaking arms." But BMX racing might not be for everyone. Recently while Taylor was riding his handle bars crossed, he flew off the bike and it hit him in the face. He lost a tooth, broke his nose and was knocked out for five minutes. Even when he doesn't crash, his shins get scratched up from the pedals, Taylor said. med school expands satellite programs Members of the LARRI-BMX group are considering two locations for the track. One is the YSI Sports Complex, 4911 W.27th St. But Shay said it would be good to have the course at the Douglas County Fairgrounds to keep it within riding distance for bikers. The proposal must be approved by the Lawrence City Commission before pushing ahead. The group hopes that the city or county will donate the land for the track. "We could go build some jumps in somebody's backyard no problem," Shay said. "But we want to be approved. We want to hold American Bike Association-approved races." Even so, Taylor said a new track would probably inspire some kids to get into BMX racing. "I see a lot of kids riding bikes around here," Taylor said. "They're not really doing any tricks, but every kid loves riding a bike." Shay said the track would bring a lot of business into Lawrence, as it would host races about twice a week in the spring and summer. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education announced a favorable review of the four-year medical program expansions for the Wichita campus and the proposed Salina site this week. The LCME, which is the accrediting authority for medical education programs, visited the sites in July. The review gives the University of Kansas the official go-ahead to allow the Wichita and Salina sites to welcome their first class of four-year medical students next fall. Edited by Alex Tretbar Nielsen, the vice chancellor for public policy and planning, said that in her research she has found that people usually stay and decide to practice where they train. The University medical center, Nielsen said, accepts mainly Kansas Currently, students in the Wichita program spend their first two years at the University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., before going to Wichita for two years of clinical training. With the expansion, students will now be able to spend all four years in Wichita. "Kansas faces distribution and shortage problems, like much of the nation, because not enough physicians are practicing in rural communities," Marcia Nielsen said in an August interview. According to the medical center website, an existing rural track program sent students to Salina for clinical training but with the expansion, students interested in rural health careers may complete all four years of their training in Salina. The expansions of the programs to Wichita and Salina will address the shortage of rural health physicians in Kansas. residents into its programs and last year 86 percent of students were Kansans. For that reason, extensions of the two-year program in Wichita and the addition of a four-year program in Salina are crucial for ensuring the future care of rural Kansans. The hope is that half of those training in Wichita and Salina will stay and practice there. According to the website, the School of Medicine-Salina will be housed primarily in space provided by the Salina Regional Health Center. Students will listen to lectures along with students in Kansas City and Wichita via interactive television and podcasts, while web-based systems will support most of the curriculum's laboratory components. By Angelique McNaughton NATIONAL Police crack down on cartel ASSOCIATED PRESS JONESBORO, Ga. — Federal and local law enforcement agents have arrested 45 people and seized cash, guns and more than two tons of drugs as part of an investigation into the Atlanta-area U.S. distribution hub of a major Mexican drug cartel, authorities said Thursday. Operation Choke Hold began in May 2009 and targeted the Atlanta-area operations of La Familia Michaocana, authorities said at a news conference at a suburban Atlanta courthouse.

He studied David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia." There may seem to be little in common between "Me-gamind" — about a comical, blue-skinned villain voiced by Will Ferrell — and Lean's 1962 epic about a British officer who united Arab tribes against the Turks in World War I. But McGrath said that "Lawrence" gave him ideas of how to employ 3-D technology. "3-D was foreign to me," he said in a recent phone conversation. "I didn't know if I'd have to do anything special or different. "But if you study 'Lawrence' you can see how brilliantly Lean framed his characters, how they move in and out of the frame, how he established different depths within the frame." By using his frame as a big canvas, Lean eliminated the need for too much rapid cutting, McGrath said. "I realized this could be applied to 3-D. Because of the depth of the image you don't have to cut away to change relationships. ...

BTGCOMICS.TUMBLR.COM MOVIES Galifanakis, director form successful comedy couple MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Seated in local coffeehouse Abbot's Habit, just hours before the Hollywood premiere of his road comedy "Due Date" last week, Zach Galifianakis was expounding on various subjects — New York fauxxheimians, improvisational acting techniques, dog masturbation — when a memory from his not-so-distant past stopped the actor comedian midsentence. "I used to wash my feet in the bathroom here." Califianakis recalled, suddenly widened. Glancing guiltily around Abbot's Habit, the bearded actor's eyes darted toward his lap. "That's why they have a sanitation level of D-minus," he explained, quietly. The exchange - self lacerating and loopy while rejoicing in the inappropriate - is vintage Galifianakis. It could well have "We have the same sense of humor. We both like making people laugh." eyed. He owns a home nearby and when construction workers turned off its water valve for retrofitting in 2000, the then-struggling actor and stand-up comic resorted to washing himself in the coffeehouse's sink. "I made sure my feet were clean because Jesus said if your feet are clean, your whole body's clean," Galifianakis said, rolling his eyes at his self-contained logic. been an outtake from "Due Date," a rollicking travelogue in the "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" vein that due in theaters Friday. The movie follows two wildly mismatched companions — blunt-smoking wannabe actor Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis) and rageholic architect Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) — who get ejected from a cross-country flight thanks to an ill- So, um, did he scrub any other body parts? ZACH GALIFIANAKIS "Due Date" actor "DueDate" reteams Galifiakis with America's pre-eminent ranch-comedy writer-director, Todd Phillips, who enlisted the actor to play Alan, a portly neerdo-well with bromance in his heart and Rohypnal in his pockets for 2009's bachelor-party-fromhell feature "The Hangover." That surprise hit grossed more than $467 million worldwide. And in Galifiakis' case, it thrust a relative unknown to the forefront of mainstream comedy. "We have the same sense of humor," Galifianakis said of the alfifianakis' and Downey's characters ever-widening personality rift results in violations of international law, ethical conundrums and overstepping most boundaries of good taste. timed terrorism joke and a trigger-happy sky marshal.

And then having them say, 'Oh my God, I can't believe I'm laughing at that." Phillips recently began work on "The Hangover 2," his third consecutive film co-starring the actor, explaining that unlike some movie comedians who have to bend over backward to win moviegoers' affections, Galifianakis immediately captures the audience's sympathies. "Alan is the most-loved character in 'The Hangover,'" Phillips said on the new movie's set earlier this fall. "He loves the people who hate him and hates the people who love him, but you never hold that against him." Gently chided that Galifianakis had become a kind of Grace Kelly to Phillips' Alfred Hitchcock, the director jokingly vented some spleen at the 14th annual Hollywood Awards Gala last month. "I always thought the idea of a muse was sexy", Phillips said. "And in my head, I imagined my muse would look like Mila Kunis or Rashida Jones. In fact, my muse looks like (comedy writer) Bruce Vilanch without the funny T-shirts" "There's a bar around here that I used to go to, Roosterfish. It's a gay bar," Galifianakis said. "I used to go because I liked to get hit on, even though I'm a straight guy. And now it never happens anymore! Galifanakis looks around the coffeehouse, smiles and shares another memory. "I mean, because of me gaining 25 pounds? Really frustrating." Darling, remember never let the schooling get in the way of your education.

POLITICS Youth turnout disappoints, but fits historical pattern Experts predicted the numbers months in advance. Defiant Democrats insisted the polls were off-mark. When the tallies came in though, the consensus forecast proved accurate. I refer not to the Republican rout of congressional Democrats,but to the low turnout among young adults in the midterm elections. While local turnout for an off-year election was relatively robust returns showed low participation in university precincts. It would be quite simple to criticize college students who, despite a vested interest in higher education, the economy, war, peace, health care and climate change — the same issues facing every other American — chose to stay home. Plenty of ink will be spilled for that purpose though. Much more intriguing is the question of why campus politicking has plummeted. For all the chatter about how President Obama's candidacy invigorated young voters, it appears exceedingly likely that the 2008 election will prove a countertrend. The president's presence on the ballot in 2012 will surely bring many young voters back to the polls, but with unemployment expected to remain high, enthusiasm will not match 2008 levels. Nostalgic Boomers — and those who wished they'd been around for the 1960s—compared Obama's campaign to the antiwar candidacies of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy in 1968. Legions of college students rallied to these presidential I will do that. Politics on Campus BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com The comparison isn't exactly apt. Eighteen to 24 year olds showed up to the poll at a 44.3 percent rate in 2008, up sharply from a 19.9 percent turnout in the 2006 midterms. But the 2004 presidential election brought 41.9 percent of young voters to the ballot box. If Obama's campaign signaled an influx of new youth into the political process, youd think there would have been a bit more than a 2.4 percent uptick in young voter turnout. In 1968 — before the voting age was lowered to 18 — young adults between 21 and 24 voted at a rate of 51.1 percent. That was even after many anti-war activists were demoralized by the triumph of pro-war Hubert Humphrey at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. America's restless youth may not have been satisfied with the choices confronting them, but they demonstrated a greater perception of the stakes than today's young adults. youth engagement in the political process.It's hard to overstate the importance of the draft in motivating college students to mobilize against the war. One can safely assume that if the draft were still in effect today, young adults' political participation would be sharply higher. We must be careful, though, not to romanticize the 1960s, the decade of campus protests and And although the Twitterless world of five decades ago meant people were more likely to physically come together to rally for such noble causes as civil and women's rights, we shouldn't lose sight of some of the less flattering aspects of the time period — episodes like the torching of the Kansas Union, the radical activities of the Weather Underground, and the absurdist, borderline nihilistic outlook of the counterculture. Remember, too, that even though college has become much more expensive in the intervening years, it's spread to more segments of the population. Once-excluded sectors — minorities, the working class, immigrants — are more likely to take part in postsecondary education than their predecessors. These people continue to grapple with disenfranchisement and discrimination, despite the progress they've made. They feel a lower sense of political agency, contributing to lower rates of political involvement among college students as a whole. So, is low turnout disappointing? Undoubtedly. But it makes sense in light of a bit of historical perspective. Brinker is a sophomore from Topeka in history. CARTOON In 2008, Obama won the presidency and his friends got a 9 seat lead in the Senate and control of the House with 257 seats. He personally has named almost a quarter of the nation's highest judicial panel. In the two years since the election, the national debt has risen by 3 trillion. Unemployment is a third again higher than it was in 2008. Obama's reply is that he needs more power for a longer time. 1 pre2 + $\left(\frac{9+257}{1\ policies}\right)^{2\ houses}$ + ¼ × $\frac{\$3000000000000\text{dollts}}{2\text{ years}}$ × 9.74 Tradition of freedom traditional? America DOES THE MATH NICHOLAS SAMBALUK Films have value even without sex GUEST COLUMN Sex. I'm no conservative, but I've found myself fussing over the cinematic (and social) fixation with sex of late. Not just any plain old sex, though. Teen sex. Sex is everywhere these days. Lately, cinema's naughty infatuation has transcended to an adolescent level. With movies like "Easy A" and "The Virginity Hit" being fired at us left and right, it's kind of hard to ignore. Have I got your attention now? I thought so. Riddle me this: When's the last time you saw a mainstream young adult flick and the content did not mention virginity or the dirty deed? Don't get me wrong — I'm well aware that movies have featured people "doing it" for ages. But the mainstream film industry has been pandering this once-taboo content to younger and younger demographics each passing decade, and desensitizing youths to the point where sex is presented to them as a casual social hurdle. In our culture, sex is unavoidable. Historically, movies containing sexual content have been tailored to a fully grown, swanky, martini-sipping generation who gasped at a hint of thigh. Now when I say "youth," I primarily mean people between the ages of 16 and 23. For those of you who detest this general label, sit tight and bear with me. Teen cinema has been openly acquainted with the quest for sex since the groovy 70s ("Little Darlings," anyone?). In the '80s it had brat pack fads like "The Breakfast Club," "Weird Science" and "Sixteen Candles," and in the late '90s there came a little film called "American Pie." This definitely is not your grand parents' sexy fanfare. This is child's play compared to the past few months in movie releases. Now it's tales of high school sex gossip gone awry, a documentary of a sexually desperate nerd and a Facebook genius who admits that his site was a tool to score him a little sugar. I'm not making any naive or obtuse assumptions here. I know Because how dare anyone be a virgin these days? It's, like, so lame. Virginity's a delicate subject, and cultural revolutions have brought this once private matter into public scrutiny. In any case, you're judged for a choice that's nobody's business but your own. 7 that our generation's not the first to explore sex cinematically, but we're absolutely the first to be bombarded with popular films glorifying sex-based youth struggles ("Superbad" and "The Girl Next Door" ringing any bells?). Not bad films per say, but films that demand sex as a required checkpoint in high school or early college. Sex has become an out-in-the-open social disease, a parasite of anxiety and expectation. It's a teenage dilemma, a generational obstacle ... but it's not everything. Or am I just being a giant square? Well, on behalf of all us nerds out there, I think Hollywood should take a few months off and check itself into sex rehab. - UWIRE. Cara Leigh for The Lariat at Baylor University. HUMOR Predicting the outcome for next year's election Last week's elections were marked by the breakout popularity of a particu- popularity of a particular political movement. A new party emerged as the voice of the people, one that some people had written off as crazy and illegitimate. Yes, the Rent is 2 Damn High party was the sensation that swept the nation, and although Jimmy McMillan only earned 1% of the vote in his race for the governorship of New York, his willingness to tell the truth about the rent and how damn high it is and his infectious personality made him a star. But now the elections are over, and it's time to move on. There are only two years until the next election, and it's never too early to try and figure out which quirky gimmick candidates will establish themselves as big non-factors in races across the country. I've used my insider status to pinpoint which outsider candidates and political parties are on the rise. When they earn as much as 2 percent of the vote, remember it was me and not that poser Nate Silver at The New York Times who made the prophetic projection. Gen. Larry Platt, The Pants are 2 Damn Low party Remember the "Pants on the Ground" guy? He was the most popular guy around about twenty Internet memes ago but has since faded back into obscurity. He's ripe for a comeback, and he just so happens to be a perfect candidate for political candidacy. Like McMillan, he's got one big issue he likes to hammer on repeatedly, he's a musician (McMillan recorded as "Jimmy Mack" in the 70s and released an album on election day) and, based on his dance moves on American Idol, is probably a fellow karate expert, too. Basil Marceauy Dot Net Basil Marceaux Dot Net Basil Marceaux Dot Com was clearly the best candidate in the country this year, but he lost in the Republican primary for Tennessee governor. Everything about his campaign was perfect, from his Kennedyesque speaking abilities to his hardline stance against making any sense whatsoever. So what was wrong? His domain, "Dot Com" is too commercial; perhaps voters thought he was a corporate sellout. "Dot Gov" wouldn't work either, since he's none too fond of the government. "Dot Net" would emphasize his excellent networking skills and his ability to really get things done, like Sandra Bullock in the 1995 thriller "The Net." The Shoe Marriage Party Under Observation BY ALEX NICHOLS anichols@kansap.com When McMillan said he was fine with people marrying shoes if they wanted to, he unwittingly started a movement. For too long, foot fetishists have been ostracized, unable to join with their beloved shoes in holy matrimony. The members of this party wear their hearts on their sleeves and their lovers on their feet, and they're looking to finally make it official. They'll have to deal with their fair share of detractors, however — after all, God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and a pair of Birkenstocks. Sarah Palin Sarah Palin Famed comedian Sarah Palin's hilarious "Sarah Palin" character captured the imaginations of Americans everywhere when she made a satirical run for vice president in 2008. Don't be surprised if she trots out her beloved creation again in 2012. Some critics say Palin plays her character way too stupid, but isn't that the point? She's exploring what would happen if a folksy moron wandered her way into the national political spotlight. Palin's performance art is outrageously absurd, yet she has managed to fool more than a few people into thinking it's not a joke. She may be a fake candidate, but she could make a very real run at the Oval Office. Imagine the laughs wed have if that happened! Nichols is a senior from Stilwell in creative writing. Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com "Ali, I very much appreciate your letter today. There's no justification for the current war on people who use illegal drugs, other than it protects the jobs of the people waging the 'war.' The organization Students for Sensible Drug Policy (ssdp.org) have chart major university in the country, why not KU? In 2006, at my urging, the Lawrence city council passed a law making possession of marijuana illegal in the city of Lawrence. This law effectively bypasses the Higher Education Drug Provision, which denies or delays student financial aid to applicants who have a marijuana conviction, because the Drug Provision only applies when the conviction is in state or federal court, NOT city court. This is a big bonus for KU students, but really doesn't go far enough. The penalties, on campus, for marijuana violations should be the same as those for alcohol, and currently they are not. I do take exception with your assertion of "the proven fact that marijuana [has] negative long-term effects on health..." There's no data to prove that there are any long-term negative effects on health from smoking marijuana. Marijuana does not cause cancer.

NEW YORK — Even with many high-profile female candidates, the just-ended campaign was rife with sexism ranging from snarky fashion critiques to sexual inuendo. And when all the ballots are counted, women may hold fewer seats in the new Congress than the outgoing one. "It looks as if we're going backward rather than forward," Siobhan Bennett, president of the Women's Campaign Forum Foundation, said at a teleconference Thursday discussing the prevalence of political sexism. sexism. Two years after Hillary Rodham Clinton nearly captured the Democratic presidential nomination and Sarah Palin was the Republican vice president nominee, female candidates dealt with comments about their hair and seamy, anonymous Web postings. Speaker Nancy Pelosi — second in the presidential line of succession — was widely vilified by Republican candidates in ways that often seemed gender-specific. Bennett said the prospect of sexist attacks deterred many women from running for office and was a reason why scores of other countries have a higher proportion of women in their national legislatures than the U.S., which remains at 17 percent. percent. Depending on the outcome of a few undecided races, women will at best hold even in the Senate with 17 seats, and could lose one or two of their 73 seats in the House. That would be the first such decline since 1978. "Going backward is unacceptable," said Erin Vilardi of the White House Project, a nonpar- for inadequate efforts to identify and support them. Earlier in the campaign, there was widespread buzz that this would be "The Year of the Woman" — notably on the Republican side with the Senate candidacies of Carly Fiorina in California, Linda McMahon in Connecticut, Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire. Of the four, only Ayotte won. She will become the lone woman in the Senate opposed to broad- tisan group dedicated to recruiting women to run for office.

Ball sought advice from "Name It, Change It" on how to respond, and forcefully defended herself against what she said was a smear campaign. Though she lost, she said her decision to denounce the tactic as sexist helped her gain votes. "There's no question in my mind that calling this out was the right thing to do," she said, expressing hope that other women wouldn't be deterred from running for office out of fear of being embarrassed by comparable tactics. The issue of sexism has cropped up regularly in recent elections. In 2008, for example, both Clinton and Palin were criticized for dress and demeanor in ways that seemed belitling to women. CRIME Soldiers arrested for gun-running ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — A Navy SEAL in California and men in Nevada and Colorado have been arrested and accused of smuggling machine guns from Iraq into the United States for resale on the black market. The special forces SEAL, Nicholas Bickle, 36, of San Diego, Las Vegas resident Andrew Kaufman, 36, and Richard Paul, 34, of Durango, Colo., were arrested Wednesday, the U.S. attorney's office in Las Vegas said. A complaint filed Oct. 29 and unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas accuses the trio of conspiring to smuggle and sell 18 weapons and 14 other firearms since June to an undercover federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent in Las Vegas and Colorado. Bickle is accused of smugging about 80 AK-47 weapons from Iraq or Afghanistan, including factory-made 7.62 mm Iraqi machine guns that the complaint said would be difficult or impossible to trace. Other weapons included Ruger handguns. "According to the other members of the organization, this was possible because Navy SEALs are not searched when returning from deployments," the document said. The investigation began on tip from a confidential informant who faced felony battery domestic violence and robbery charges in Nevada and is cooperating with authorities, the complaint said. Neither the informant nor the undercover agent is identified. The complaint cited text message and bank records, and said at least one sale involved 10 AK-47 rifles for $1,300 each, and six handguns for $300 apiece. If convicted, each faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. NATIONAL Man's postonement of execution denied ASSOCIATED PRESS ATMORE, Ala. — An Alabama man convicted of killing his daughter's 16-year-old boyfriend awaited execution Thursday, and his daughter said she is still waiting for him to admit the damage he caused by killing the boy and abusing her for years. Phillip Hallford, 63, lost a bid for a stay of execution by the Alabama Supreme Court just hours before he was to die by lethal injection at Holman Prison for the shooting death of Eddie Shannon at a rural south Alabama bridge. Gov. Bob Riley also refused to grant clemency. Hallford's attorney filed a final motion for a stay with the U.S. Supreme Court. Melinda Hallford Powell, who was 15 and pregnant at the time of the killing, said her father forced her to lure Shannon to the rural site in Dale County, where he shot him to death and threw the body off a nearby bridge. Then, she said, her father made a necklace with the casings from the bullets and forced her to wear it. Powell, who now lives in North Carolina and is married with three children, said she had been sexually abused by her father and had lived "a nightmare" for years. StateFarm.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2010 / NEWS 7A COLLEGE FOOTBALL Starting quarterback for Penn State still not decided MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Joe Paterno has been at Penn State so long, his coaching career could be a course offering for history majors. Hey, the 83-yearold icon arrived on campus in 1950 and replaced Rip Engle as head coach of the Nittany Lions in 1966. If that isn't ancient stuff to your average college student these days, what is? Since Paterno is downplaying the historic significance of his next milestone — he's going for his 400th career victory on Saturday afternoon, when the Nits (5-3, 2-2 Big Ten Conference) host Northwestern (6-2, 2-2) in sold-out Beaver Stadium — of perhaps greater interest to students and fans is who'll be the starting quarterback. Will it be true freshman Rob Bolden, who is coming off a concussion that caused him to miss Saturday night's home game against Michigan and much of the preceding contest at Minnesota? Or does redshirt sophomore Matt McGloin, who played well in both games and sparked the previously it. sluggish offense in back-to-back victories, have the inside track? "I would have bet a hundred bucks that would be the first question," a chuckling JoePa responded. Truth be told, the remainder of the season might not come Paterno, a creature of habit who prefers to settle on one guy before the season and stick with him "I think we'll let them compete and decide at the end of the week who's going to start." JOE PATERNO Penn State Coach as long as his play reasonably merits it, was uncharacteristically coy when asked who'll take the field for the opening offensive series. Then again, he anticipated what was coming and was prepared for down to pronouncing one player as the No. 1 QB and the other as No. 2. Paterno is daring to suggest that it might be more a case of No. 1 and No. 1A. A dual-quarterback arrangement at Penn State is somewhat untraditional, but strange times call for strange measures. "I think we'll let them compete and decide at the end of the week who's going to start," Paterno said of the unusual in-season duel for playing time. "But I would imagine maybe we'll have to rethink playing one kid. Maybe we'll play both." Quarterback controversies are, well, kind of sexy. They are the football equivalent of gossip columnists speculating about the identity of Paris Hilton's boyfriend du jour, or which rock group will get the marquee gig at the next Lollapalooaza. And while Paterno is not averse to shuffling starters at other positions, to even consider rotating his quarterbacks, particularly this deep into a season, is a bit of an oddity. Some of the more notable quarterback battles at Penn State invariably have ended with a winner emerging: Todd Blackledge over Jeff Hostetler, Daryll Clark over Pat Devil. The miffed losers reacted by transferring. The closest thing to what's happening now between Bolden and McGloin found Rashard Casey and Kevin Thompson jostling for playing time in 1998 and '99, and Zack Mills and Michael Robinson doing likewise in the early 2000s. In the past, Paterno has heeded his own counsel when it came to selecting his quarterback. This preseason was different in that he polled his staff to settle a three-way shootout involving Bolden, McGloin and soph Kevin Newsome, with a fourth candidate, true freshman Paul Jones, fitted for a redshirt. The consensus was that the 6-3, 221-pound Bolden, a four-star recruit from Orchard Lake, Mich., gave the Nits the best chance to win now and in the future. But Bolden has been restricted in part by his inexperience and a raft of injuries to the offense. After some rough stretches, he was having his best game of the season against Minnesota, completing 11 of 13 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown, when he went out in the second quarter with a concussion. Enter McGloin, the 6-1, 209-pound walk-on from West Scranton High, who is as extroverted as Bolden is quiet and reserved. McGloin passed for two touchdowns against Minnesota, and he followed that up with a 17-for-28, 250-yard, two-TD (one rushing) performance in last week's 41-31 victory over Michigan. Quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno, pleased as he was with McGloin's effort against the Wolverines, stressed that Bolden would reassume the starting position this week. Shoemaker finds place at Boise State COLLEGE FOOTBALL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE BOISE, Idaho — Once in a while, junior wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker's mind flashes back three years to when he was a relative nobody on the Boise State football team. He was a walk-on — and his classmates included Austin Pettis and Titus Young, a pair of highly touted recruits at his position who played as true freshmen and became All-WAC performers. The Broncos coaches took a long look at Shoemaker at Mountain There's no doubting Shoemaker's talent now. View High in Meridian, Idaho. They just weren't sure how hed fit at the college level. He has 10 catches for 193 yards and two touchdowns in the past three games going into Saturday's first place WAC showdown with Hawaii (1:35 p.m. MDT, ESPNU). He has 17 catches for 25.9 yards and three scores on the season — averaging 17.1 yards per catch, nearly as much as the speedy Young. All three of his touchdown catches have covered more than 20 yards. "We feel like he's taken the next step" coach Chris Petersen said. "They treat you just like another player on the team, but as far as you're concerned you're not," "They treat you just like another player on the team, but as far as you're concerned you're not." TYLER SHOEMAKER Junior Boise State wide receiver Shoemaker said. "There's definitely something to prove there. Even today, coming in, I still try to think about it sometimes." He's really been a consistent guy, making tough catches with guys hanging on him. That needs to be his game. He's deceptively fast, but he's also a big target." Shoemaker (6-foot-1, 215 pounds) was a role player last year, getting 15-20 snaps a game. This year, he has become an integral part of the offense. He's played 40-plus snaps in some games and developed into one of quarterback Kellen Moore's most trusted receivers. "The thing that amazed me with him this year a lot more is he's kind of immersed himself in the game plan," wide receivers coach Brent Pease said. "Instead of making us have to find spots for him, he's become the guy that's open." Shoeemaker spends most of his time in the slot, which gets him matched mostly against linebackers and safeties. He also has taken a couple snaps at tight end and some on the outside. He enjoys the sight of a line-backer in 1-on 1 coverage. "I'm not going to lie," he said, smiling. "I usually know where the ball's going." Those types of mismatches are the reason the ball went to Shoemaker so often last week against Louisiana Tech. He made six grabs for 124 yards and a touchdown _ and topped 100 yards before halftime. reaping the benefits of a long-term relationship with Moore. They were on the scout team together in 2007 and often connected for big plays when the freshmen scrimmaged. "It's been a fun relationship to develop." Shoemaker said. Shoemaker, who moved to Idaho from Tennessee in junior high, was one of the highest-profile high school players in the state in 2006. He earned All-Idaho first-team honors with 37 catches for 505 yards and five touchdowns. "He always seemed to have about one long touchdown catch or touchdown run in a game," said sophomore wide receiver Mitch Burroughs, who played at Meridian High. "They kind of had their safeties out, cheating toward me and Titus," Pettis said, "and Shoe tore up the middle of the field." Shoemaker is Pease watched Shoemaker play several times. He saw him line up at tight end and outside receiver, and neither seemed like the spot for him in college. He sensed potential — but not enough to offer a scholarship. "i just didn't know if he had that next gear," Pease said. " ... It was tough to see how he would fit into our offense." formance. "This coaching staff said from the beginning that they were going to pound the rock, that they were going to stick with the running game. And I think that's the right style to play," said Thorson. BUFFS (CONTINUED FROM 10A) Last week, the Kansas offense was able to run the ball on the Cyclone defense, rushing for 119 yards. It was unable to reach the end zone though, which has been an enigma for this year's team. With Colorado's move to the Pac-10 set for next year, Saturday's matchup will be the last time these two schools meet for now. The series began in 1903, and the Buffaloes hold an all-time record of 42-24-3 over the Jayhawks. With three marquee matchups still on the schedule, including Turner Gill's return to Nebraska, Thorson said the players can't afford to look ahead. "With where this team is at, we have to have everything we've got on Colorado. They are really looking for a win, and we would love to take that from them," said Gill. Kickoff for the Jayhawks and Buffaloes is set for 1 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. Edited by Abby Davenport VOLLEY (CONTINUED FROM 10A) "She can play right left, and back row." Tolefree said, "We rely on her not just giving the other team a free ball, but challenging them." "They're not going to hit at the same angles," he said. "They're not as physical but they're extremely, extremely well-coached. In the system that they use they're very effective. After hitting just .139 against Nebraska's .431 hitting percentage, Bechard said his team needed a change of game plan. "This is a time of year where some teams decide to just to kind of hang on. Sometimes some teams are going to make the commitment to get better. And that's what we're going to do is make the commitment to get better." With only six games left in her career, Garlington said she wants to make every one count. Looking toward Colorado, Mayfield said she would change the shots she plans to hit and prepare for anything that the Buffaloes have to put on the table. "We have only a couple games left and I want to go out strong," she said, "So we've got to start out strong and push till the end." - Edited by Joel Petterson Islanders drop sixth Senators win 4-1 He got his third assist when Chris Kelly scored into an empty net with 12.5 seconds remaining, Peter Regin had two assists.

He was 76. Anderson died at his home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., of complications from dementia, family spokesman Dan Ewald said in a statement. Anderson's family announced Wednesday that he was under hospice care. In this undated 1980s file photo, Detroit Tigers manager Sparky Anderson poses for a portrait. McClatchy-Tribune Anderson's Cincinnati Reds won championships in 1975 and '76 as one of the dominant teams of its era. Nearly a decade later, his Detroit Tigers won the 1984 World Series. He was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in 2000. "There's a difference between a good manager and a great one," Johnny Bench, Anderson's Hall of Fame catcher with the Reds, told The Los Angeles Times in 2000. "The good one will tell you there's more than one way to skin a cat. The great manager will convince the cat its necessary. Sparky had the cats carrying the knives to him." George L. ee Anderson was born in Bridgewater, S.D.. on Feb. 22, All this made him an unlikely choice to take over the Reds in 1970. But Cincinnati General Manager Bob Howsam had hired Anderson to manage in the St. Louis Cardinals' organization and now turned to him to mold his young and talented team. His career as an infielder stalled in the Dodgers' minor league system, and he reached the big leagues only after being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. He hit .218 in 1959, his only season in the majors. By 1964, Anderson was managing in the minors. "His work ethic was extremely important. He didn't beat around the bush.He was right to the point." young and interested. "Anyone who says they knew about me before Howsam hired me would be lying." Anderson told The Times' Ross Newhan. "Well, I don't know how you measure what you owe someone, but I do know that everything we have in our house has to belong to him. If he doesn't hire me, chances are I never manage in the big leagues." In 1969 Anderson was a coach with the expansion San Diego Padres for Manager Preston 1934, and his family moved to Los Angeles when he was 9. A stand-out player at Dorsey High School and a batboy for the University of Southern California's baseball team, Anderson began his professional career at 19, signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers' organization. BOB HOWSAM Former Cincinnati G.M. Manager Preston Gomez, another former Dodger. Before agreeing to manage the Reds, Anderson had been set to join the Angels in 1970 as a coach for Lefty Phillips, who had signed him with the Dodgers. "His work ethic was extremely important," Howsam told the Rocky Mountain News in 2000. "He didn't beat around the bush. He was right to the point. And the way he developed young players was very important. We needed that type of thing." But Cincinnati was underwhelmed by the hire. "Sparky Who? was the headline in the Cincinnati Post. "I think a lot of (the Reds) thought. 'He's a fly-by-night guy, and what's this character all about?' I wouldn't blame them," Anderson said. said. The Reds quickly flourished under his leadership, winning 102 games in 1970 and reaching the World Series, where they lost to the Baltimore Orioles in five games. They became known as the Big Red Machine, led by future Hall of Famers Joe Morgan, Tony Perez and Bench — and another star, Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader. BIG 12 FOOTBALL Wildcats gear up to get sixth win In its quest to become a bowl-eligible team, Kansas State vows not to overlook anyone MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE MANHATTAN — Bill Snyder isn't the type of football coach who looks ahead on the schedule and counts wins. He has been around the game too long for that. His focus is always on the next game, and right now that means putting together a good strategy for Saturday's showdown against Texas. But before Snyder could begin preparing for the Longhorns, he went against his ways and discussed the future with his players. In particular, he wanted to talk about the Wildcats' final game of the season, at 2-6 North Texas. Texas. Addressing his team in the aftermath of its 24-14 loss to Oklahoma State, he issued a warning about that post-Thanksgiving trip: Fans may have long ago counted the game as a victory, but no one in that locker room could do the same. If 5-3 K-State hopes to play in a bowl game, it can't rely on North Texas as a fail-safe for that necessary sixth victory. Message received. "We can't look forward to North Texas like that, saying 'Oh, North Texas, that will be our sixth win,' linebacker Blake Slaughter said. "It's a week-to-week thing.

Their only remaining home game is this weekend against the 4-4 Longhorns. A difficult game comes next at No.14 Missouri, 7-1, followed by more manageable trips to Colorado, 3-5, and North Texas. But victories are never guaranteed on the road. And who knows? It could take two more wins for one of the eight bowl games affiliated with the Big 12 to select K-State. the big 12 to select it. "Bowl eligible is one thing, while having the opportunity to go to a bowl is another," Snyder said. "We have a lot of teams in our conference that will be bowl eligible. There is no guarantee that six wins will put you into a bowl game." Snyder wants his team to understand that and begin playing with a sense of urgency. Despite back-to-back losses, the Wildcats still have enough time to play their way into a respectable bowl game. But only if they treat each week with high intensity. There can be no looking ahead. "We want that sixth win," senior quarterback Carson Coffman said. "We'll get it at some point. Hopefully it's this week."

A: Kansas and Colorado, who play each other this weekend. — KU Athletics Talking to stars is easy online MORNING BREW Everyone probably did it at some point in his or her primary school. Forensic Mgt teacher Mrs. Arkworth asked my fourth-grade class to decide who they wanted to send a letter to. The class buzzed about getting to pick from the brightest stars of the time: "Weird" Al Yankovic, any of the Spice Girls and of course, Hanson. Dejected after someone had already picked Ginger Spice for their letter, I chose Ken Grifley Jr., whose brilliant career was in full swing, Grifley Jr. won the MVP the year before, already immortalized in a video game and needed to hear from me about it. I thought it was the coolest thing that we had such close and personal contact with these stars that all it took was a letter to talk with a major leaguer. Today, the social-networking site Twitter provides the same type of interaction. The brainchild of Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone, Twitter allows its users to express thoughts in 140 characters, akin to a Facebook status with a word limit. The really cool thing is just about everyone uses it. While you can "follow" your friends and read their posts, you can also interact with these celebrities by mentioning them in tweets and following their posts. Miriam Zorilla BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com I follow many sports figures, including athletes and journalists on the professional and collegiate levels. And everyone uses their account in their own way. When his Bengals have an away game, NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco (@GOchoCinco) will tweet his location and entertain the first 100 people who show up with dinner, movies, etc. Earlier this summer, Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant (@KDthunderup) announced the signing of his five-year contract extension through a tweet. When Bill Simmons (@sportsguy33) accidentally tweeted "moss vikings," it became the latest sports story to break via Twitter. Plus, interacting with former Jayhawks like @SHERRONCOLLINS4 and @colea45 as well as current Kansas athletes like Brady Morningstar (@bmstar12) and Toben THE MORNING BREW Opurum (Toben_Opurum35) is much easier with Twitter. I got a response from the Seattle Mariners organization thanking me for my letter and some other stuff I didn't read after I realized my request for Griffey's cleats was not ful-filled. But I remember how cool it was holding that letter with the Mariners logo on the envelope and my name on the letter. Being able to talk with these prominent names in sports by tweeting is just as cool. Now if only Ginger Spice would sign up. Edited by David Cawthon WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks prepare to face Lady Blues When a team takes the floor for the first game of the season, a sloppy performance will likely ignite fear in the hearts of fans. For Jayhawk fans, last week's first glance at the 2010-11 women's basketball team provided a reason to start the season off with a positive outlook. After closing the season opener strong, with an 83-62 victory past Fort Hays State, the team will face Washburn University in the second and final exhibition game at 2 p.m., Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse. The faceoff will be the first of the season for Washburn's Lady Blues squad. The Lady Blues lost all of last year's starters, but returned seven letter winners and is still ranked No. 9 in the USA Today/ESPN Division II Preseason Coaches' Poll. The team finished last season 27-4 and won the MLAa team. In the last meeting between the two squads in 2008, Kansas defeated Washburn 67-51. Washburn defeated Kansas 62-59 in their last regular season faceoff in 2004. Still, Kansas has won 28 of its last 30 preseason games and coach Bonnie Henrickson has led Kansas to a 2-0 winning record against Washburn during exhibition play. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis opened the net early, earning the first 10 points of the game against Fort Hays State, where she garnered a career-high 35 points. Davis also controlled the court with 17 rebounds and six blocks. She will likely be called to lead the team in its hope of defeating the Lady Blues this weekend. Despite Davis' strong performance, the Jayhawks need more players to help put points on the board. Davis' co-captains, sophomore guards Monica Engelman and Angel Goodrich, together contributed 11 of the team's 17 assists, but only added a combined 14 points. To be victorious against the Lady Blues on Sunday and in later games this season, the squad needs the teammates to live up to their scoring potential. NBA By Megan Rupp Douglas scores high for Knicks CHICAGO — Tony Douglas scored a career high 30 points, and the New York Knicks made 16 of 24 3-point attempts in a 120-112 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. It was an astounding display from the outside for the Knicks after they hit just 32.6 percent over the first three games. Leading the charge was Douglas, who made 5 of 9 but he had plenty of help. Danilo Gallinari hit four 3s without a miss and finished with 24 points — all but three in the first half as the Knicks took a 21-point lead in going up 70-52 at halftime. Raymond Felton was 4 of 6 from long range and finished with 20 points and 10 assists for the Knicks. Derrick Rose had 24 points and 14 assists for the Bulls, but sat out the final 9:31 Fans need $39.95 to watch game FOOTBALL When Kansas and Nebraska meet Saturday, Nov. 13 for the teams' final Big 12 conference matchup, fans will have to pay the $39.95 fee to watch the game on Pay-Per-View. Nebraska made the Associated Press announcement on Thursday and kickoff is set for 6 p.m. in Lincoln. The move was made after the game was not picked up as part of the Big 12's television package. The game will be produced by Fox Sports Net. By Kory Carpenter COLLEGE FOOTBALL Receivers needed for Longhorn win AUSTIN, Texas — There's a reason Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert has only six touchdown passes in eight games: his receivers keep dropping them. Long gone are the record-setting receivers Jordan Shipley and Quan Cosby catching everything Colt McCoy threw their way. Gilbert has been saddled with a group that treats the ball like it's radioactive. It's a problem Texas (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) would like to fix when the Longhorns play Saturday night at Kansas State (5-3, 2-3). The Longhorns have lost four of their last five games. "We've been over it and over it and over it. There is absolutely nothing that we can see except there is too many guys dropping a ball," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "It hurts our momentum, and it wears on everybody." Associated Press THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS Tennis TODAY Tennis San Diego State Tournament All day San Diego, Cali.

While Gill said that not naming a quarterback could be a competitive advantage Saturday for his team, Colorado coach Dan Hawkins isn't worried. "The [Kansas quarterbacks] are very similar in what they do." Hawkins told the media at Monday's teleconference. "Obviously each guy brings something different to the table. But in terms of what they do schematically, it's similar type stuff." Regardless of who starts for Kansas, the offense will be at a premium Saturday, as both teams are last in the Big 12.

"It's the last time we'll get to play them in the Big 12 conference," sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said. "We just have six games left, so we need to just finish strong and get a win over them." The last time the Jayhawks met Colorado, the Buffaloes came out and won in five games. Tolefree says the team is focused on beating Colorado and moving on to the next game. COLORADO Outside hitter Karina Garlington said being a senior also added to the importance of the game. "We want them to remember the last time they get to play Garlington said playing two positions was difficult to do and Mayfield has stepped up to the task.

She accounted for three of Kansas' 17 points in the first set and finished the match with 30 attacks, 10 kills and six errors — all team highs. In total, she led the Jayhawks with 11 points, including one service ace. "I thought she took some good swings.

BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Turner Gill needs to have faith in players T The first clue came in the opening statement of the first press conference for coach Turner Gill. When he listed what he looks for physically in a football player he mentioned two things before everything else: "guys that can flat-out run" and "speed." 1 nose are the same things. We should have known. Karissa your returning leading rusher carry for nine touchdowns and 4.2 yards per carry and actually get better as a freshman in Big 12 conference play? A few months and six miserable losses lay the Kansas football program is reeling and it is in no small part because of Gill's nonsensical restructuring of the Kansas roster. Just as with Pick, we saw sixth-year senior running back Angus Quigley lose his starting job as soon as someone else performed well at the position in a game. Let me preface this by saying that I think James Sims is a talented back for a freshman, but again, there is a reason that Angus Quigley won the job in the preseason. I don't know exactly what it is — I wasn't there — but if there was, indeed, a reason, stick to your guns and go with Quigley. Three weeks later, Quigley reascended to the top of the running back chart. He's a power back, though. He doesn't have home run speed. Rightfully so, too. Quinn Mecham is now in the discussion to be the lajhwaks' quarterback as well. And there was that fun experiment with D.J. Beshears at quarterback late in the Texas A&M game. Hey, the guy is fast. Put him at linebacker. Scratch that. Put him at defensive end. With Kansas' stagnant offense, I'd bet opposing teams are happy to see Toben Opurum on the other side of the ball. I'm not going to suggest anything radical like firing Gill. I'm a firm believer that a coach needs at least three years to be fully evaluated. There's a reason the Pittsburgh Steelers have won more Super Bowls and any other NFL franchise, and a huge part of that is the stability of having just three coaches since 1969. Kale Pick was not impressive in a little more than six quarters as the starter. No one will argue that. But there's a reason he was made the starter (I'm going to go out on a limb and say it had to do with speed). Either have faith in the guy or don't start him at all. But ripping the rug out from under him only destroys his confidence and has the next guy, in this case Jordan Webb, looking over his shoulder for someone else who might be sneaking up on his job. What I'm looking for from Gill, though, is some sign that he knows the personnel he has playing for him. Have a little faith in your players. I'm not asking much from Gill, just that he stops yanking players like an overeager fantasy football manager and trusts his gut. Bizarrely, I'm actually giving the man a vote of confidence. Trust your decisions, coach. It can't get any worse. Edited by David Cawthon 2.

I don't know exactly what it is — I wasn't there — but if there was, indeed, a reason, stick to your guns and go with Quigley. Three weeks later, Quigley reascended to the top of the running back chart. Rightfully so, too. Quinn Mecham is now in the discussion to be the Jayhawks' quarterback as well. And there was that fun experiment with D.J. Beshears at quarterback late in the Texas A&M game. Hey, the guy is fast. What I'm looking for from Gill, though, is some sign that he knows the personnel he has playing for him. Have a little faith in your players. Jordan puts Kale Pick was not impressive in a little more than six quarters as the starter. No one will argue that. But there's a reason he was made the starter (I'm going to go out on a limb and say it had to do with speed). Either have faith in the guy or don't start him at all. But ripping the rug out from under him only destroys his confidence and has the next guy, in this case Jordan Webb, looking over his shoulder for someone else who might be sneaking on his job. I'm not asking much from Gill, just that he stops yanking players like an overeager fantasy football manager and trusts his gut. Bizarrely, I'm actually giving the man a vote of confidence. Trust your decisions, coach. It can't get any worse.

MIZZU 25 yagers underleated season last year. "It's the first loss of the year, so it's pretty difficult for all of us," coach Gary Pinkel said. "It's a big game an you need to play your very best, and we didn't play good enough and they did." The Cornhuskers got on the scoreboard early, as senior tailback Roy Helu Jr. rushed for a 66-yard score on Nebraska's first offensive play of the game. After a Missouri three-and-out, Nebraska increased the lead to 10-0 on a 41-yard field goal by senior kicker Alex Hewery. Alex Henery. Nebraska continued to capitalize on Missouri's offensive and defensive woes. After another stalled Tiger drive, redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez connected with sophomore wideout Kyler Reed for a 40-yard touchdown reception, pushing the Husker lead to 17-0. Helu Jr. added to the lead three minutes later, breaking loose for 73-yard touchdown run, his second of the game. Missouri defensive back Kevin Rutland breaks up a pass intended for Nebraska wide receiver Cursenski Gilleyen, during the first half on Saturday, at 31-17 win for Nebraska. the game. The Tigers got on the board early in The Rangers got the second quarter. On 4th and 1 Missouri set up for what looked like a quarterback sneak. Junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert received the snap and pitched it to junior tailback De'Vion Moore, who rushed 33 yards to cut the deficit to 17 points going into halftime. Missouri showed signs of life early in the second half. Gabbert found sophomore wideout T.J. Moe for a 23-yard touchdown score, cutting the Nebraska lead to 10 points. However, the Huskers would answer back two plays later, as Helu Jr. burned the Tiger defense for a 53-yard touchdown run, his third of the game, "It is the first loss of the year, so it's pretty difficult for all of us." he was frustrated with the execution of the plays called on the goal line. With the game slipping out of reach, the Tigers put together a much-needed line that put them on the Nebraska 1-yard line on 1st and goal. For the second straight week, the Tigers were stopped for three consecutive downs, forcing a 23-yard field goal. The kick put the score at 31-17, which would be the final after both teams were shut out in the fourth quarter, Pinkel said GARY PINKEL Missouri Head Coach VOLLE The Nebraska defense was impressive throughout the game, constantly blanketing all Missouri receivers and putting pressure on Gabbert. The junior was sacked six times, and finished a dismal 18 for 42 for 199 yards with a touchdown and interception. Although the Missouri defense came into the game ranked No. 5 in the NCAA in scoring defense, the Tigers were unable to contain Helu Jr. The senior set the Nebraska school record with 307 rushing yards, including touchdown runs of 66,73 and 53 yards. Senior linebacker Andrew Gachkar said the defense couldn't make the tackles it needed to stop the big plays. long plays. Missouri (7-1, 3-1) heads to Lubbock, Texas to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday. With the loss to Nebraska, Missouri could possibly need to win out to have a chance at a Big 12 Championship. Moe acknowledged the importance of every conference game on the schedule. conference game for you. "We just have to come out there a fight like we always do" Moe said.

The Jayhawks will have extra motivation because Colorado is leaving the Big 12 after this year. "It's the last time we'll get to play them in the Big 12 conference," sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said. "We just have six games left, so we need to just finish strong and get a win over them." The last time the Jayhawks met Colorado, the Buffalooes came out and won in five games. Tolefree says the team is focused on beating Colorado and moving on to the next game. COLORADO Outside hitter Karina Garlington said being a senior also added to the importance of the game. "We want them to remember the last time they get to play Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield added depth to the Kansas offense by playing both back and front row against Nebraska.

Six errors is more than we probably want her to have, but I thought she did a good job primary passing for us," coach Ray Bechard said. "We ask her to do a lot of things." In the first set against Nebraska, Mayfield had nine attacks and three kills with two errors. She accounted for three of Kansas' 17 points in the first set and finished the match with 30 attacks, 10 kills and six errors — all team highs.

There's a reason the Pittsburgh Steelers have won more Super Bowls than any other NFL franchise, and a huge part of that is the stability of having just three coaches since 1969. Just as with Pick, we saw sixth-year senior running back Angus Quigley lose his starting job as soon as someone else performed well at the position in a game.

Wildcats give up win By Justin Nutter Kansas State Collegian K-State lost 24-14 to Oklahoma State. The K-State offense was coming off back-to-back games with 40-plus points and had a home game for the first time in almost a month. It was Homecoming against a team that didn't win in Manhattan since 1988. But fans and players seemed lethargic from the opening kickoff. This game should have been a high-scoring shootout. Oklahoma State entered the contest ranked second nationally in scoring offense, and neither team has a defense worth writing about. It looked as though the Cowboys were ready to roll when they took the opening kickoff and marched right into K-State territory, but the drive stalled and they were forced to punt. Their next two drives ended with turnovers — the first on a fumble and the second on a down. The Wildcats weren't just keeping Oklahoma State off the scoreboard; they were setting themselves up to grab an early lead, and a big one at that. There was just one problem, though: K-State's offense looked and played like it was asleep. Four times the Wildcats had a chance to jump in front. Four times they were forced to punt the ball away. On its fifth attempt, K-State finally drew blood on a 10-play, 62-yard drive capped off by running back William Powell's eight-yard touchdown run. The defense came up big once again, forcing another Cowboy punt on the ensuing drive. With 4:15 left in the first half, the Wildcats had the opportunity to run out the clock and take a two-score lead into the break. Instead, they gained one yard on three plays and punted once again. The defense allowed Oklahoma State to tie the game just six plays later. The Cowboys tried to give K-State the lead once more when they picked up 35 yards in penalties on the first drive of the second half. The Wildcats got inside the Oklahoma 10-yard line, but threw away more free points when kicker Josh Cherry came up wide on a 24-yard field goal attempt. There's no point in sugarcoating it. This game was the Wildcats' to lose, and they lost it. Countless Oklahoma mishaps put K-State in position for an upset, but frankly, nobody in a purple jersey seemed interested in taking the bait. I'm not saying the K-State players didn't care, but the lack of emotion on the sideline was noticeable. The Wildcats have shown they have the tools to move the ball and score points. They've also shown they can come up with big defensive stops. Sooner or later, both will happen in the same week, and it will make for a pretty good football team. But until that happens, they'll have to find ways to manufacture wins, particularly by capitalizing on chances opponents give them. ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma Sooners SOONERS Colorado's Travon Patterson, left, is brought down by Oklahoma defensive tackle Adrian Taylor, right, in the first quarter trips him up Saturday in the 43-10 victory. Broyles' yards earn win against Sooners By Clark Foy The Oklahoma Daily Colorado had no answer for junior wide receiver Ryan Broyles as the Sooners won 43-10 on Saturday in Norman, improving to 7-1 overall, 3-1 in the Big 12 For the third time this season and the fourth time in his career, Broyles gained more than 100 yards in the first half of a game. Broyles would finish with nine catches, 208 yards and three touchdowns. His performance gives him 29 career receiving touchdowns and moves him past former OU tight Jermaine Gresham's 26. Broyles is currently second on the OU career touchdown reception list behind Mark Clayton's 31 career touchdown grabs. However, neither Broyles nor the OU offense got off to a quick start Saturday night. The Sooners put up just three points in the first quarter, scoring on a 33-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Jimmy Stevens with just over eight minutes left in the first. That field goal would be the only score by either team in the quarter. Stevens would strike again at the beginning of the second quarter. Although the offense compiled 122 total yards in the first, they made it to the red zone just twice, going three-and-out both times, leading to two field goals. But that was just the beginning as Broyles scampered into the end zone two minutes later off a 16-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Landry Jones. One drive later, Broyles and Jones connected again for an 81-yard touchdown pass—a career long play for both. It would take the dynamic duo just three plays to connect again in the second half, this time for a 64-yard touchdown. On the three-play, 80-yard drive, Broyles and Jones accounted for 76 yards. After the first quarter, it seemed the OU offense was off to a mediocre start at best. Two quarters later they looked like they were in pristine form as they gained a school-record 488 passing yards. "We started out going sideways a little bit," Broyles said of the offense's switch to a more vertical passing game. Despite Broyles' big numbers, he said he isn't doing any more than people have expected of him during his career. "You know, people have compared me to Mark Clayton from the beginning, so I feel like that what I have to do is fill his shoes and I have another year left so I'm trying to make the best of it" Broyles said. Another year? So the star receiver has decided that he's going to play his senior year? Not exactly. "I know I have another year left." Broyles clarified.

Three weeks later, Quigley reascended to the top of the running back chart. Rightfully so, too. Quinn Mecham is now in the discussion to be the lajayhawks' quarterback as well. And there was that fun experiment with D.J. Beshears at quartback late in the Texas A&M game. Hey, the guy is fast. anything radical like niring On. I'm a firm believer that a coach needs at least three years to be fully evaluated. There's a reason the Pittsburgh Steelers won more Super Bowls than any other NFL franchise, and a huge part of that is the stability of having just three coaches since 1969. Kale Pick was not impressive in a little more than six quarters as the starter. No one will argue that. But there's a reason he was made the starter (I'm going to go out on a limb and say it had to do with speed). Either have faith in the guy or don't start him at all. But ripping the rug out from under him only destroys his confidence and has the next guy, in this case Jordan Webb, looking over his shoulder for someone else who might be sneaking up on his job. What I'm looking for from Gill, though, is some sign that he knows the personnel he has playing for him. Have a little faith in your players. I'm not asking much from Gill, just that he stops yanking players like an overeager fantasy football manager and trusts his gut. Bizarrely, I'm actually giving the man a vote of confidence. Trust your decisions, coach. It can't get any worse. Edited by David Cawthon 4 I will do it. Colorado (3-5) CANES 22 OFFENSE The Colorado offense is led by senior quarterback Cody Hawkins.

Jay Finley's 116 rush yards and one touchdown and Robert Griffin's 219 yards and two touchdowns through the air supplemented a stingy defense for the first Baylor win in Austin since 1991. The momentum seemed to change late in the third quarter, just after the Longhorns failed to expand their 19-10 lead and missed a 48-yard field goal. Finley took the Bears' first play of the ensuing drive up the middle, dashing 69 yards for a score that was part of 20 unanswered Baylor points. 20 unanswered bays. Texas' subsequent drive lasted two plays, as Tim Atchison jarred a pass loose from an intended receiver and Antonio Johnson snatched it out of the air. Griffin turned the resulting possession into a touchdown when he lunged one yard past the goal line. Baylor took a 23-19 lead following a missed two-point conversion. point conversion. Three plays before the touchdown, coach Art Briles' team faced a fourth-and-one from the two-yard line. Instead of a field goal, Briles was thinking touchdown all the way. THE WAVE NOVEMBER 5,2010 The Baylor defense forced a punt, and the offense turned the opportunity into points. It converted two third downs on the next drive, the second of which was a 30-yard post pass to Kendall Wright for a touchdown and 30-19 lead. 30-19 lead. The Longhorns managed a field goal but fumbled on their final drive. Texas got on the scoreboard first after Griffin mishandled a shotgun snap on Baylor's game-opening drive. The Longhorns reached the Bears' nineyard line and settled for a field goal. Three more times before halftime, the Baylor defenders held Texas to field goals as the Baylor offense struggled to find its rhythm. Atchison said that after the first stand, his defense could feel confidence and momentum building. momentum building. Kiffin kept his team in the game with an equalizing touchdown before the half. He beat a Longhorn blitz by finding Terrance Williams over the middle, and Williams evaded a tackler for a 59-yard touchdown.

A&M sets new passing record against Tech By Sean Lester Coming off a 45-10 win against Kansas, the Texas A&M offense was searching for an identity. After converting on all six of their red zone chances in a 45-27 win Saturday against Texas Tech, junior quarterback Ryan Tannehill and the A&M offense seem to have found it. have found it. "Fast tempo is where we perform our best."Tannehill said. The Battalion The fast tempo helped lead the offense down the field for 35 first downs,the second-highest total in school history,putting the team in scoring range inside the red zone. A&M is 11 for 11 in the red zone in its last two games. last two games. The Texas A&M offensive line is without one of their best players in junior Evan Eike due to a sprained ankle. Although the offensive line has struggled this season with several young players on the squad, Saturday's game against Tech proved to help them mesh. ("Offensive Line Coach Jim) Turner talked to me last night and he said he thought this would be the game they really came together," head coach Mike Sherman said."I think the whole group really gelled" The offensive line helped give Tannehill time on all four of his touchdown passes. His touchdowns came from three, six, two and one yards out respectively. The other two red zone scores came from a two-yard run by junior Cyrus Gray in the third quarter and a 28-yard field goal by junior Randy Bullock. The Aggies also scored on a 3-2 yield by Gray in the third quarter, which was the only score outside of the red zone. "I have to give huge props to the offensive line," Tannehill said. "We were able to make some checks and the offensive line was doing a great job of picking up those guys and allowing me time to make a throw." throw. Tannehill found his weapon in junior receiver Jeff Fuller, who finished the game with 11 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns. The A&M offense finished with 623 total yards and Tannehill finished the first half with a school record of 277 passing yards. "Through the offensive line, the wide receivers and the backs, it was a great team effort." Tannehill said of the record.

Edited by David Cawthon FEATURE 9 WIDE OUT GETS IN 26 28 Patience pays off for freshman wide reciever Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Heading downfield with a pass intercepted in the game against Kansas State, freshman wide receiver Erick McGriff does his part for the team By Blake Schuster pschuser@kansan.com Regret is a word seldom used in sports. Most players go out and give it everything they've got. They make choices during the game, they live with them, but they don't regret them. One of the biggest choices a high school player can regret is where they will attend college. After all, college is where the promising high school player will hopefully break out and become a star. Contemplating where this transformation will happen is no easy task. For wide reciever Erick McGriff, his choices came out to Kansas and Auburn. He chose Kansas. Auburn now sits in the top five of the BCS standings. After a year of being redshirted, Erick McGriff finally caught his first reception in his college career against Kansas State, with no regrets of how it came to be. McGriff was brought into the game when KU was losing badly and the fans were letting the team know they weren't happy. Still, McGriff placed himself in formation, ran his route as best he could, and reached his goal that he had been working so hard to achieve. Yet after his three receptions for 37 yards, McGriff was put back on the bench for the next game against Texas A&M. McGriff wouldn't give up, he went back to work to stay mentally prepared for his next opportunity. "It was tough fighting every week and make sure I know the playbook." McGriff says. The fighting finally paid off for McGriff when he made the first start of his college career last week at Iowa State. While Kansas lost, McGriff made another three receptions for 24 yards. On Tuesday, McGriff walked into the media room at the Anderson Complex, sat down, and immediately started bouncing his legs, maybe out of excitement or nervousness. Both emotions are acceptable for him at this point in time: McGriff's collegiate career was finally underway and still with no regrets to how he got to this point. To understand Erick McGriff's determination to play, it is important to look at his background. McGriff's father, Fred, was a 19-season veteran of the MLB, a World Series champion and a five-time All-Star. That legacy is a lot to live up to. McGriff did play baseball before college but ultimately it just wasn't for him. "Hitting was the hardest part for me as I got older," McGriff says. "Pitchers started throwing harder and faster and the ball started moving more, so it started to get harder." There would be no one to carry on the "Crime Dog" nickname his father had in the MLB, but that didn't mean that Erick McGriff wasn't going to be an athlete. At his Tampa Bay, When it came to making his choice McGriff was very adamant about what led him to Kansas. "When I came for my visit, there was a lot of team bonding, the team is really close together, and I liked how they gelled and were all one unit." McGriff says. McGriff's true freshman year took an unexpected turn when he had to make the tough eran wide receivers Christian Matthews and Jonathon Wilson. It would take hard work and determination for McGriff to move up the chart, but most importantly, it would take patience. McGriff sat through games against NDSU. Georgia Tech, Southern Miss, New Mexico State, Baylor and the K-State game. A mid-game injury to Christian Matthews gave McGriff the "It was tough fighting every week and making sure I know the playbook." —ERICK MCGRIFF Freshman wide receiver Fla., high school, McGriff played basketball and football. His talent for football had him playing three positions: wide receiver, defensive back, and punt/kick returner. call to redshirt for the year. Given how his father was naturally dominant in his sport, it was hard for McGriff to sit out. McGriff acknowledged the fact that there was some pressure on him given his father's talented history, but doesn't let that get to him. McGriff went into his senior year of high school with a Rivals.com position rank of 50th in the wide receiver class, and on Dec. 5th, 2008, committed to KU, leaving behind offers from Cincinnati, Troy, and of course, Auburn. Entering his redshirt freshman season with the Jayhawks, McGriff found himself sitting third on the depth chart behind proven vet- opportunity he had been seeking for so long. With his father on hand, McGriff made his first career college reception, his long struggle to make it onto the stat sheet finally over. McGriff's dedication, heart and work ethic paid off, but his place on the stat sheet is just beginning.

FANS HEAD FOR THE DOOR AND LEAVE THEIR TEAM IN THE LURCH VOL AARON BERLIN KNSJYHWK@KU.EDU Guest columnist In the midst of one of the worst football seasons in the history of the program, it's easy to start pointing fingers at the numerous things that have gone awry in Turner Gill's first year. It may have been Lew Perkins' lack of institutional control over the athletics department, Gill's self-imposed image problem or the multiple injuries that have plagued this football team. Things have looked bleak, but not everything has been bad, believe it or not. When you search hard enough, there are some positive things coming out of the debacle on Mt. Oread. some positive things come along After the dismal Homecoming loss to Texas A&M that left the Aggies' section with more fans in attendance than Jayhawk supporters, Jack Harry, sports director at NBC in Kansas City, suggested that the university should drop the football program entirely. entirely. "I'm calling on the chancellor at Kansas to do everything in her power to drop football ... just do away with the sport and all the embarrassment it has brought to the university," Harry said on the Oct. 25 edition of Jack's Smack. said on the Oct. 23 edition of JURO. As most of you know, I usually reserve this space for my off-the-wall bantering and criticisms of the KU football program, but after hearing the ludicrous comments from a man I used to respect, I find myself standing up for a team that's being kicked while it's down. it's it down. It's no secret that while most teams in the vicinity of Lawrence are thriving (Kansas State 5-3, 2-3; Missouri 7-1, 3-1), the Kansas program has wilted. Now 2-6 (0-4), Kansas has not won a Big 12 game in more than a year, has lost the last seven road games and has easily been the punch line of the conference for the last two years. Literally, they were the ones throwing punches against their own basketball team last year). 5 players against their own basketball team I get Harry's point in urging chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little to simply do away with the embarrassment that has been the Gill experiment and I do agree that there were better options available at the time of Gill's hire (but that's another column). The problem I have is that it seems a little premature to want to just bring the entire program to a screeching halt. Especially a program with some proud history and that has yielded some success. So I seriously doubt Harry was calling for the head of Kansas football after a 12-1 season. Kansas football after a 12-1 season. After all, football programs are not built in a day. Basketball coaches are fortunate enough that it may only take two or three talented players to completely change the atmosphere of a program — Michael Beasley and Jacob Pullen come to mind — in football, that's not the case. It may take ten or eleven guys who fit your style before you start seeing results, and most of those guys end up redshifting their freshman seasons. Kansas fans are looking at roughly three years until a coach can really begin to see an improvement. begin to see an improvement. Kansas isn't the only team in history to go through woes of this magnitude. In the late 1940s and early 50s, Kansas State posted losing streaks 17 and 18 games long.

The Jayhawks will play Colorado next Saturday. anything radical like firing Gill. I'm a firm believer that a coach needs at least three years to be fully evaluated. There's a reason the Pittsburgh Steelers have won more Super Bowls than any other NFL franchise, and a huge part of that is the stability of having just three coaches since 1969. Just as with Pick, we saw sixth-year senior running back Angus Quigley lose his starting job as soon as someone else performed well at the position in a game. Let me preface this by saying that I think James Sims is a talented back for a freshman, but again, there is a reason that Angus Quigley won the job in the pre-season. I don't know exactly what it is — I wasn't there — but if there was, indeed, a reason, stick to your guns and go with Quigley. Three weeks later, Quigley reascended to the top of the running back chart. I'm not asking much from Gill, just that he stops yanking players like an overeager fantasy football manager and trusts his gut. Rightfully so, too. Quinn Mecham is now in the discussion to be the Jayhawks' quarterback as well. And there was that fun experiment with D.J. Beshears at quarterback late in the Texas A&M game. He, the guy is fast. What I'm looking for from Gill, though, is some sign that he knows the personnel he has playing for him. Have a little faith in your players. Kale Pick was not impressive in a little more than six quarters as the starter. No one will argue that. But there's a reason he was made the starter (I'm going to go out on a limb and say it had to do with speed). Either have faith in the guy or don't start him at all. But ripping the rug out from under him only destroys his confidence and has the next guy, in this case Jordan Webb, looking over his shoulder for someone else who might be sneaking up on his job. Bizarrely, I'm actually giving the man a vote of confidence. Trust your decisions, coach. It can't get any worse. — Edited by David Cawthon the gridiron are 7-7 against each other. Those records are not the greatest snapshots of the programs as a whole, but I'm willing to bet that over the next 14 games the two teams will split right down the middle once again. See a trend here? COLUMN11 It's always easy to pick on the kid who looks at times to be lacking self-esteem. I get that it's easy to criticize a team that owns three created pressure on the opposing quarterback and rare turnovers that Gill often says are the "keys to the game." Gill has made strides on the recruiting trail, even with rules that you would think would make recruits stay as far away as possible. He's managed to sign one of the top players in Missouri (four-star running back Darrien Miller) and dual-threat quarterback Michael If people in Lawrence honestly want to be considered as a legitimate football school, then the support needs to be there even in times like these. of the worst losses in KU football history, but sometimes in sports things have to get worse before they can better. I am starting to believe that this has become the case with Kansas. Earlier in this column I talked about some good things. For almost a year now we have heard the current coaching staff talk about speed, which frankly former coach Mark Mangino left them with none. So what has Gill and his staff had to do? Find it in unconventional ways, moving now medical red-shirt freshman Keeston Terry from wide receiver to safety and former star running back Toben Opurum to defensive end. These changes have Cummings from Killeen, Texas. So believe it or not, help is on the way. For so long Kansas fans whined and complained about not being a winner in football, and when the team found success. Memorial Stadium was packed to capacity. If people in the Lawrence honestly want to be considered as a legitimate football school, then the support needs to be there even in times like these, not just go running for the nearest door to Allen Fieldhouse when things get bad.

Colorado offers chance for momentum BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com skrugel@karsai.com After a loss against Nebraska, Kansas hopes to gain momentum back against Colorado on Saturday and finish up this season on a winning note. The Jayhawks will have extra motivation because Colorado is leaving the Big 12 after this year. "It's the last time we'll get to play them in the Big 12 conference," sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree said. "We just have six games left, so we need to just finish strong and get a win over them." The last time the Jayhawks met Colorado, the Buffalooes came out and won in five games. Tolefree says the team is focused on beating Colorado and moving on to the next game. Outside hitter Karina Garlington said being a senior also added to the importance of the game. "We want them to remember the last time they get to play COLORADO "She breaks the game down and allows us to get a back row attack when we normally couldn't," Garlington said. Garlington said playing two positions was difficult to do and Mayfield has stepped up to the task.

Colorado is a much smaller opponent than Nebraska. "They're smaller, so they are smart with putting the ball in play," Tolefree said.

"If we ever fall out of the AAU, or even are discussed as potentially falling out, that would reflect a loss of research capacity," said Jeffrey Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor.

Many claim to be suffering from illnesses caused by inhaling the pulverized remnants of the twin towerers.

Ashley Smith Maybon, a junior from Norton, is an education major. She wants to teach elementary school students, and she said these exercises with kids would really help them in understanding and dramatizing literature. "It's like making lesson plans that are more active to get kids out of their seats," Smith Maybon said. The kids, some of them new to the class and some returning actors and actresses, are able to jump into their roles in a way that the college students find surprising, Klein said. Each semester, Klein's young actors follow a different plot line for four weeks. This semester, it's LaLa Land. "It's my favorite class I've taken," said Sydona Kegin, a sixth grader who attends Broken Arrow Elementary. Kegin's character's name is Shrine, and she is playing a character who's always in need of sparkles. All of their characters, including Paul the Zombie, Toad and George the Dragon, have different motives in the course of this land. Leading most of the action is Klein and a student playing the Greek god Kronos. Klein said the kids are learning the organic process of what theater is. It involves plot, characters, movement and conflict resolution. "The goal is not to put on a show; the goal is for us to create together," Klein said. She also said the class is about self-expression and letting the kids also put themselves in another person's shoes to understand different points of view. After their class this Thursday, LaLa Land will cease to exist. All of the lands will have to determine a resolution to their issues regarding who gets the most sparkles. Negotiations have already begun. "If you share your sparkles," one character from Spartel said, "we can share our food." The University students must create a story line for the kids to follow for the two weeks after that. This teaches them how to create a lesson plan and a drama, Klein said. For Klein and most of her University students, all of the learning comes directly from observing the kids. "It's really the children who do the teaching," Klein said. "I can talk all I want about good ideas and what to do, but the kids are going to let you know if it's a good idea or not." - Edited by Anna Nordling RESEARCH (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Though it didn't affect his decision to come here, he said it was beneficial in his research involving high-energy particle physics. What's most wristrison to University officials is the University's ranking compared to all research-extensive universities in the United States. Half of the 65 universities outside the AAU are performing better than the University. Many of those universities have outperformed the University in things such as federal expenditures and the number of faculty citations, indicators of research excellence used by the AAU to determine membership. Membership is renewed annually. Because of that, AAU institutions must maintain a comparatively high research profile for fear of being replaced. "KU absolutely wants to be among the leaders of the AAU, to never even be thought of as an institution that might be considered to exit the AAU." Vitter said. To accomplish that, he formed a 50-member steering committee charged with creating a comprehensive strategic action plan for the University. The plan will include ways to improve the University's research profile and to maintain AAU membership. He said membership in the AAU was "essentially an affirmation that KU is one of the greatest universities in the country." As a member of the steering committee, Smith said he had confidence in the ability of University officials — notably the chancellor — to improve the University's research profile. The University of North Carolina, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's previous school, is consistently one of the top-performing AAU members. Smith said she was a major contributor to North Carolina's success. "She knows what needs to be done and how to do it," he said. "I'm hoping that with the strength of her leadership we'll move a lot closer to being a top 10, top 15 program."

It wasn't that she couldn't afford the flour at local stores; Kongs was in the middle of an experiment to see if she could live an entire month as a locavore. This meant that from mid-September though mid-October, Kongs could only eat food produced within 100 miles of Lawrence. "I decided last minute to do it for my Geography of American Foodways class," said Kongs, now a farmhand at Hoyland Farms outside of Lawrence. "The only thing I really made an exception for was salt and pepper." With many products in the grocery store traveling an average of 1,500 miles to reach the shelves, locavores seek to support farmers that they know will pay their workers fair wages and will not use farming techniques that harm the earth. "Anymore you're not what you eat but where you eat," said Chris Brown, an associate professor in the geography department. "Every time Kongs kept in shape during her experiment by biking to and from class every day. For Kongs, being a locavore meant that she could no longer eat things like cinnamon, maple syrup or coffee, which are all grown outside of Lawrence. While she was able to eat fruits like apples, Kongs still found her diet consisting of a lot more meats and cream than normal, products heavily produced in the Lawrence region. "I didn't notice a change in my energy level." Kongs said. "I was so busy and just biking so much that it was just one of those "Honestly, for a while it was great, but then I just started to feel heavy," Kongs said. you eat something, you're not just absorbing the nutrition of the food but the cultural and social context that the food came from." Saira Kahn, a senior from Lawrence, said she spends an average of $100 to $150 a month on foods that fit her healthy lifestyle. The price of food is another concern for those who seek to eat a more local-oriented diet. "I definitely try to eat foods that are from the area," Kahn said. "But it's not always convenient to do so when you're working late and don't have a lot of time to eat." better health. CHRIS BROWN Associate professor of geography While being a locavore is not always convenient for a fast-paced lifestyle, those who take the time to eat local foods may benefit from "Every time you eat something, you're not just absorbing the nutrition of the food but the cultural and social context that the food came from." "There are studies out there that say that the longer a food is off of its life support, the more nutrients it loses," Brown said. "Some foods can change a lot as the natural rotting process occurs." things where I was constantly hungry" 4c Black & White Copies 29c Color Copies At the end of her experiment, Kongs broke her diet with an apple from New Everyday Low Price for Students and Faculty with KU ID Zealand and a Bearclaw bar. While she said that she wasn't necessarily more healthy during her month as a locavore, Kongs said in the long run her experiment made her more aware of the foods she was putting in her body. 2 LOCATIONS 6th & Monterey (behind Applebee's) 785.856.0707 31st & Iowa (facing Best Buy) 785.856.7860 store5941@theupstore.com store5707@theupstore.com "There really is no limit to the amount of reasons for why it's a good idea." Kongs said. "It's not always convenient but if a person just wanted to make small changes like buying some of their food at the farmer's market or even purchasing the local products sold in stores like HyVee I think they'd find themselves feeling better about their diets."

SEXUALITY Taboo subject actually common and beneficial So, 84 percent of American men between 25 and 29 years old had masturbated during the past year, according to a study released last month in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. Men of that age were the most active in self-pleasuring. You're not shocked? I am! I'm shocked that as many as 16 percent of men between 25 and 29 didn't report any masturbation for at least a whole year. Impotence is rather unusual among people that age and men physically have a higher need to "release energy" than women. Consequently, there are some men either lying in the anonymous survey or running around in pain. Seventy-four percent of women reported having mastubated in the past year. For those without math skills, that's 26 percent of young women not laying hand on themselves. Most media commentators ridiculed Christine O'Donnell this year for her view of masturbation as a sinful act that shows weakness if given in to. Yet, seeing those numbers makes me think if there are O'Donnell fans out there who actually believe that "you-can-get-blind-when-you're-jacking-off" story dads like to tell. P. V. Nayak Let's Talk About Sex I've never understood how masturbation could be demonized, except that someone read it into a sentence in the Bible. Masturbation is clean, painless, pleasurable and satisfying. It doesn't harm anyone or hurts anyone's feelings; after all, it doesn't involve anyone else. No one can go too far, because we know exactly when we need some more or have enough. The only danger in masturbation is the embarrassment of your roommate or parent walking into the room while you're at it; or the negligent use of toys. Still, this cannot be what people mean when talking bad about masturbation. BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI advantage of a partner who gives them exactly what they need in exactly the right dose. Instead of looking for a meaningless substitute and risking diseases, people are better served with self-stimulation in their safe homes. Some may argue that it is unnatural because men and women are made to only have sex with each other. But given the human sexual drive, we would have long run out of food because of overpopulation if we had sex the "usual" way instead. Many people also don't have the And if the partner does come along, it'll be easier to show him or her how to please you when you already found out how to please yourself. You could also watch each other to learn more about your preferences. Once you get past the initial barrier of sharing a very private moment with your partner, you might find that it turns you on as well. After all, you're naked and aroused during sex, too, so what's really the difference? Masturbation is not only a stimulant; it will also help you reduce stress, a common problem among college students. That extra circulation boost can further keep your skin and heart healthy. What better way is there to stay healthy and get some exercise (except sex, of course)? Bledowski is a graduate student from Cracow, Poland, in journalism. CARTOON Can you Can you hear me now 2010 2008 NICHOLAS SAMBALUK LETTER TO THE EDITOR Singling out Four Loko unhelpful It is not fair to put all the blame on Four Loko for the recent hospitalizations of college students. First of all, alcohol in itself is dangerous. No matter if it is mixed with a stimulant or a mixer, when one consumes alcohol, one is putting a toxin in his or her body. We all know this, but do it anyways to alleviate stress, celebrate the end of a hard week, or out of depression. Four Loko has hit the demographics of college students. Let's be honest, college students love cheap fun. Therefore, scare tactics such as "blackout in a can" or "liquid cocaine" don't cause. Secondly, advertising that the product as only $2.50 is not helping any preventive measures Hopefully, the numbers should not surprise or scare you — 660 calories for a 23.5-ounce can? A 6.5-ounce margarita can have up to 246 calories. A 4-ounce glass of wine has about 200 calories. It is true Four Loko has 12 percent alcohol, but vodka and tequila contain about 40 percent alcohol per volume (ABV). This leaves the 30-plus hospitalized after drinking Four Loko. Central Washington University sent nine students to the hospital for over-consumption of this drink. It is important to note that toxicology reports show other substances, including beer, either. If college students know they can become intoxicated fast and for cheap, then of course they will try it. hard liquor and possibly illegal substances were found in these students' bodies. Also, these students were inexperienced drinkers ranging from 17- to 19-year-old freshmen. Will banning this drink really solve anything? Even before Four Loko students have been drinking rum-Coke, Red Bull-vodka and Jager bombs. Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, made a product to satisfy the drinking urges of college students. If consumed in a safe manner, this product should not be regarded as any more dangerous than your average malt liquor drink. LETTER TO THE EDITOR — Monica Saha is a junior from Overland Park. Guy Fawkes more than a character To the editor who put "Yes, obligatory 'V' for Vendetta reference. Now go watch the movie and move on with your lives" in response to an FFA post : The poem that was quoted in the post is a traditional poem in reference to the historical character Guy Fawkes. Nov. 5 is Guy Fawkes Day, or Bonfire Night, a day which has been celebrated for more than 400 hundred years in the UK, long before the film "V for Vendetta." Yes, that poem appeared in the movie, and yes, it's quite possible that the poster was referencing the movie, but we do have students here from the U.K., and people of British heritage in the U.S. often celebrate this holiday, too. As an editor in a prominent university newspaper, I think you should realize this when posting comments like that. If not the poster, then at least certainly, a good number of students view this day as an important holiday and not just some day that was mentioned in a movie. I know a lot of people in this country view Guy Fawkes as just a character in a movie. But a newspaper has the opportunity to educate people, or at least not continue ignorance, so that is why I am writing this short e-mail. I don't think it's a huge deal. I'm just tired of explaining to people that, yes, I'm celebrating Guy Fawkes Night tonight, and no, it has nothing to do with "V for Vendetta." — Taylor Clossin is a junior from Wichita. GUEST COLUMN 1 Obama failed to promote vast accomplishments Immediately following the midterm elections, newspaper headlines from around the world told the tale of an American president embarrassingly "defeated" and "apologetic" of his presidency thus far. From titles such as "No We Can't" in the Kuwait Times to "Obama Admits He Needs' to Do a Better Job' After Election Beating" in the London Guardian, to pouting faces of Obama on front pages from Brazil to China, the international media has cast Obama as a chastised president of remorseful policies. Sadly, Obama sealed his own fate, particularly in the midterms, by allowing the media, Republicans, and even some Democrats, to spin his hard-fought achievements against him. It's a mystery to me how easily the country has rendered Obama, the most effective progressive since FDR who managed the largest economic disaster since the 1930s while passing healthcare reform, financial reform, winding down the war in Iraq, engaging with the Muslim World, significantly expanding Pell grants for low-income college students, appointing more openly gay officials than any other president, creating more private sector jobs than during entire Bush years, signing a new START Treaty with Russia, increasing fuel economy standards, and repealing restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, as a delinquent, incompetent president out of touch with America's problems. Now that's an Obama we haven't seen before. If we can? And yet, much of this portrayal I fault with Obama's recent demeanor. Instead of touting his impressive record, Obama took a defeatist line after the midterms and promised that in the future he would simply try to "do a better job." And yet unfortunately, it's an Obama of whom we will probably see more and more. In his Op-Ed in the NY Times yesterday, Obama wrote about his upcoming trip to Asia that surprised me in one line. He wrote: "If we can, we'll be able to complete an agreement that supports jobs and prosperity in America." What happened to yes we can? What happened to yes we can? Obama needs to pull together in the wake of his party's bloody midterm results to regain the confidence in his policies and penchant to radiate hope that propelled him to office in the first place. Otherwise, Republicans and Democrats alike will simply be battling it out in Congress, conducting phony investigations, and bickering about power, while attempting to fix American problems, "if they can." — Beatrice Walton for The Harvard Political Review at Harvard University. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Coverage should focus on team,not Marcus Morris Now maybe it's just my personal opinion, but I don't think writing an article telling people to forget about a player will really help the team in any way. The best part about being a Jayhawk during basketball season is the pride and confidence we put in our team. I have nothing against Marcus Morris. We all know he is an excellent basketball player. But that's just it, we ALL know. He has been on the front page of every basketball related article for months. Everyone knows by now that he should be remembered. But the other article said we should forget Elijah Johnson? We can't pick and choose who to believe in and not believe in, though. There are 16 players on the KU basketball team, not one. So maybe he had a bad night, but he still is on the Kansas basketball team, which is a huge honor, so he must be doing something right. Yes, Marcus Morris is one of the best players in the nation right now and he will help us earn many victories this season. But that doesn't mean we should forget about players who don't have as much stardom as him. It takes the whole team to win I'm pretty sure Morris couldn't do it on his own, even if it was just against number 15 of the Ichabods. - Emily Bowen is a freshman in dance performance from Liberty, Mo.

"It's happening anyways," Stillman said. "To have condom bowls out in the open would be a good thing." This semester, through a service learning class, Stillman and four other students had the opportunity to help DCAP raise money through last night's annual Red Ribbon Art Auction at Macell's, 1031 New Hampshire St., which is DCAP's largest fundraiser. The proceeds will help fund DCAP's educational programs, emergency assistance for clients and other services. Last year, DCAP raised about $20,000. This year it hopes to raise $25,000. DCAP is a nonprofit organization that provides AIDS-related services to Douglas, jefferson and Franklin counties. "The students have worked so hard and their efforts are greatly appreciated." Elena Ivanow, executive director of DCAP, said. tive director for the COMS 340 class chose to work with DCAP because it was a great opportunity to help the Lawrence community. The class group created a project called Art for Aids to collect donated artwork from about 10 student artists. The students visited various art classes, tabled in front of the Kansas Union and passed out fliers to encourage artists to donate their for the auction. The group collected almost 30 pieces of art ranging from photography to paintings. Laura Greenberg, a senior from Minneapolis, donated a piece of printed graphic art th computer. computer. "It was a great way to get involved with something with meaning." Greenberg said. "It was a great way to get involved with something with meaning." LAURA GREENBERG Minneapolis senior She said AIDS awareness is important for all students to understand. She said doing something that a person enjoys to help raise money great quality. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2004 about 5 percent of all people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS were college-aged. were college age.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2010 Jayhawks sweep Buffaloes VOLLEYBALL | 8B Seniors Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser led the Jayhawks in offense in their three-set win over Colorado on Saturday. They take on the Aggies at home on Wednesday. WJ W.KANSAN.COM LAST-MINUTE MIRACLE PAGE 1B GATORADE 8 Comeback for the record books Senior punter Alonso Rojas celebrates Kansas' 7-point lead against Colorado as the clock counts down the final seconds on Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium. Kansas defeated Colorado 52-45 after a strong comeback in the fourth quarter. Howard Ting/KANSAN BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Sure, there was cheering and celebrating outside of Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. There usually is when your team scores 35 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to end an 11-game conference losing streak. But something wasn't quite right. A collective "Did that just happen?" look donned the faces of more than a few Kansas fans as they left the stadium. PETER B. SMITH Thorson And it wasn't just the fans who were stunned following the 52-45 come-from-behind victory. "I'm not really sure what day it is right now" senior tackle Brad Thorson said. It all seemed normal enough at first, though. Colorado scored on its first three possessions before taking a 35-10 halftime lead. It was nothing new for Kansas fans, as many of the 40,851 in attendance headed for home while the band performed its usual halftime show in front of another dwindling crowd. Colorado could have been swapped out for Kansas State or Texas A&M. It looked like an all too familiar scene for the 2010 season: Kansas gets taken out early, the fans retreat to their tailging, the onslaught continues in the second half and fans wonder how much worse it will get. Coach Turner Gill had different plans, however. Trailing 35-10 at half, he told his players, "You all need to come out here and get ready for the biggest comeback ever." And so they did. Former third string quarterback junior Quinn Mecham brushed off two first half interceptions to throw for 165 yards and two touchdowns in the final thirty minutes. Freshman running back James Sims also got the halftime wake-up call, running the ball for 117 yards in the second half, including four touchdowns in the final 19 minutes. After Sims' second touchdown of the day shrank the Buffalo lead of the day, manu- to 45-24 with 11 minutes left in the game, Gill decided to attempt a surpise onside kick and keep the momentum with the Jayhawks. The recovery, Gill said, was the turning point of the ball game. "We were win if we got that opportunity." The offense capitalized on that opportunity on the ensuing drive, with senior wide receiver Johnathan COLORADO VS. KANSAS ONE-HOUR REPLAYS WHEN: Midnight, Tuesday and 1:30 p.m., Friday CHANNELS: FOX Sports Kansas City and FOX Sports Midwest we were 21 points behind at that time and once we got that, that gave us some momentum," he said. "I really, really, thought wed have a great chance to Wilson catching a 38-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 45-31. Freshman cornerback Tyler Patton returned a Colorado fumble the following possession 28 yards I really enjoyed myself." for another Kansas touchdown, the team's first defensive touchdown since playing Texas Tech last season. "We're always told, whenever there's a ball on the ground, to scoop it and score it just in case," Patmon said. The play was reviewed but not reversed, and the Jayhawks continued to erase the 35-point deficit that was staring them down as the final quarter began. A incomplete pass from Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins in the Kansas endzone ended the game, giving the Jayhawks the biggest comeback in school history. And they only needed 11 minutes to do it. It was also the second-most points scored in a fourth quarter comeback in FBS history, just behind a 1990 game in which BYU scored 36 points in the fourth quarter to defeat Washington State 50-36. "I'm so proud of these players," Gill said. "They showed a lot of character. This win means a lot for our football program, and I think it means a lot for our home and our fans and everyone who came out." Next time, the itch to bolt for the hill might not be as strong. Edited by Joel Petterson See a full photo gallery of Saturday's game at kansan.com/ WOMEN'S BASKETBALL All Kansas players score in win over Washburn BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com The Kansas women's basketball team finished the exhibition portion of their season with an 80-46 victory against Washburn. All 11 Jayhawks who suited up for the game played and scored in a well-balanced rout of the Lady Blues who were ranked No. 9 in the ESPN Division II Preseason Coaches' Poll. "If everyone can score then you have to guard everybody," sophomore guard Monica Engelman said. "What I like about the team is we are unselfish and I think that is going to help a lot. Everyone can score so everyone is an option so that will help us." "I think that whole group is confident offensively and they share the ball. I think that is why everyone scores because we let go of it," she said. "We work on it during practice just doing reps on offense and defense," freshman guard Keena Mays said. "Whenever we get in the game it is just natural." Coach Bonnie Henrickson is impressed with this year's team and their balance on offense. There was a big shift from last week's performance to this game. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis carried the team with 35 points and 17 rebounds. But everyone's scoring this week took the pressure off Davis and showed the whole team's potential. The Jayhawks have been working on ball rotation in practice, which made this game smoother. "We threw it so much to Carolyn "Whenever anybody needs to step up, just the starters whenever they need a sub or whatever we have bench depth and we can go to the bench and we can carry on the same intensity and energy," Mays said. last week, which was fine and it was the right thing to do, but I think those young kids have a lot of confidence and it was good to see some of those kids step up and make some shots." Henrickson said. Having the ability to rotate the lineup will be an advantage for the Jayhawks this season. Though the Jayhawks had an impressive offensive game, their defensive efforts should not be overlooked. Kansas was able to keep all the Washburn players under double digits in scoring for the whole game and held the team to under 20 points in the second half. Engelman stepped up as a leader this game and finished with a game high 20 points. "It feels good but I have to give the credit to my teammates in practice and the coaches getting me prepared and coming early and staying after getting some shots up," Engelman said. During practice, Henrickson has been focusing on decreasing turnovers and focusing on defense. "I thought defensively in one week we showed a lot of progress," Henrickson said. "I thought the kids got the message from last Sunday, but I didn't think we were as active and didn't use our speed, athleticism and length like I had hoped we would, but I thought message heard and message accepted." on Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. against South Dakota at home.

COMMENTARY 'Thank God for the incredible comeback BY MAX VOSBURGH myosburgh@kansan.com What Turner Gill said after Kansas' improbable 52-45 comeback win against Colorado was everything you need to know about the state of this football program. "I first want to say 'thank God,'" he said. One year after being ranked for half the season, this is what has become of Kansas football. Thank God Kansas was able to beat Colorado at home. A year and 20 days ago, Kansas was ranked 25th in the BCS. Now, a new coach is thankful for beating Colorado at home. Prior to this game, the Jayhawks had won three of the last four games against the team that is now 0-5 in the Big 12 conference this year. But if you were around Gill after the game, you might have thought the Jayhawks had just won the National Championship. "We just said we loved each other." Gill said. "We just all hugged each other. We're going to continue to move on a little bit and yell and scream and continue to celebrate. This is a great win for our program, and a great win for our players." Kansas scored 35 points in the fourth quarter to come back against Colorado. The Jayhawk defense allowed Colorado to score on every possession but one through the third quarter. "Next week we're going to have to do the same thing against Nebraska and I feel like this team right now is ready to shock the world," junior linebacker Steven Johnson said. The layhawks played football for only one quarter on Saturday and if they do that against Nebraska, they won't win and they won't be shocking anyone. The comeback was incredible, but it masked what was an embarrassing performance for three quarters. "It felt great," Sims said. "I would just like to thank my offensive line. They blocked for me, and they believed in me and I believed in them." Freshman running back James Sims scored four times. Three of those touchdowns came in the fourth quarter. Sims' performance was admirable and it could be a real springboard for this freshman as he continues to develop. What really gets to me is that this reaction to a win at home versus Colorado, regardless of how it happened, truly shows you how far this program has fallen in the last couple years. It took a miracle to win and Gill calls it a huge victory for this program. I'm waiting for the day that Gill has the Jayhawk ready so they're not down by 30 or 40 points at home in a conference game. Credit to the players for not giving up, but only if you're at peace knowing you're one of the worst teams in a BCS conference will you thank God for winning at home against a team almost equally as bad. If Kansas really did turn a corner in the last five years, let's not be satisfied with wins against bad teams.

It was tough not to smile. His Cleveland Browns battered one of the NFL's best. Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy scrambled for a touchdown, Peyton Hills hammered for a career-high 184 yards and two scores and the Browns, using some trickery and a ton of offensive imagination, pounded the New England Patriots 34-14 on Sunday. 34-14 on Saturday. Two weeks after stunning New Orleans, the Browns (3-5) pulled off another shocker. Well rested after their bye week, they ended New England's five-game winning streak and did it decisively, outplaying one of the NFL's top teams for all 60 minutes. This was no fluke. The Patriots (6-2) were battered, baffled and beaten badly. beaten body. It had to be particularly satisfying for Mangini, who defeated Bill Belichick, his former friend and mentor. The pair's relationship was damaged years ago and they ignored each other during pregame warmups. After the game Mangini shared a brief handshake with Belichick. Hillis, healthy at last after being slowed by a thigh injury, scored on a 2-yard run in the first, and then put the Patriots away with a 35-yard burst late in the fourth to make it 34-14.

The Jawhacks improved to 15-11 overall with the 3-0 victory over the Buffaloes. Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield hits the ball over the net Saturday at Horesei Family Athletics Center. Kansas swept Colorado in three games. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN The Jayhawks swept the Colorado Buffaloes Saturday in the teams' final meeting as Big 12 opponents. Kansas won with scores of 25-19, 25-22 and 25-23. In their previous meeting, the Buffaloes topped the Jayhawks in a five-setter at Boulder. Senior outside hitters Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser scored 12 kills each and the team had 11 blocks while the Buffalooes struggled with errors and a low hitting efficiency. Kaiser said the Jayhawks made blocking a priority when preparing for the match. "I think that we just get really frustrated that we're always considered a not-good blocking team," she said. "So we were working really hard on pressing tonight." Tolefree said Colorado's smaller hitters counted on using Kansas' hands against them to send the ball out of bounds for points. "We knew we had to be really, really disciplined with our blocks," Tolefree said. "And just really control our hands and make them swing a certain way and not use us." The Javhawks took a nine-point lead in the first set, gaining momentum when Garlington followed up a kill with back-toback blocks together with redshirt freshman middle blocker Carline Jarmoc, who also scored a service ace. Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree went three for three in the first set and added a solo block on her way to finishing the match with a team-high .571 hitting percentage. Tolefree scored eight kills and no errors and led the team with five blocks. Coach Ray Bechard said he thought Toolefre — who was also celebrating a birthday Saturday — had a lot of fun. "I guess she wanted to party like it was her birthday," Bechard said. The Buffaloes recorded seven attack errors and five service errors in the opening frame, hitting for only 194 efficiency. So despite Colorado besting Kansas in kills 14-10, Kansas came out on top 25-19. In the second set, both teams saw their offensive numbers drop. Colorado fell from .194 to .114 while Kansas came down from .273 to .163. But the Jayhawks continued to dig more and block more. Jarmoc and junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield added another four blocks to the effort. The Buffaloes, though not hitting for a high efficiency, tried to make up for it by making more attempts. Sophomore Kera Schroeder alone took 26 shots by the end of the second match — eight more than anyone else — and came away with 10 kills. Kansas defense worked hard to limit her success. Freshman libero Brianne Riley contributed seven digs in the second set to keep the ball off of the Kansas side. Overall, Riley recorded 18 total digs in the match. Bechard said Riley recorded 23 digs in three sets against Colorado in their previous meeting. "She had a huge match out there," he said. "And then she got that concussion, so I guess she gets a pretty good read on Colorado." The Buffaloes offense turned up the pressure in the third set, taking a narrow advantage in the beginning and expanding that to a sixpoint lead later in the set. Juniors Anicia Santos and Richi Bigelow scored five and six kills, respectively and helped Colorado raise its hitting efficiency by 50 percent. A kill by Santos left Kansas in its worst position of the match at 11-17. Junior setter Nicole Tate set Jarmoc up for a quick kill that started the comeback. In short order, Colorado suffered from four ball-handling errors, ruining their own momentum. Meanwhile, Tate scored back-to-back service aces and Tolefree followed a kill with a block. Kaiser scored two kills in quick succession, and Tate and Jarmoc combined with a block to close out the set and the match 25-22. The win improves Kansas' record to 15-11 overall, 6-9 Big 12 while Colorado drops to 6-15 overall and 3-12 in conference play. The Jayhawks go to College Station, Texas Wednesday. In their last meeting, the Jayhawks defeated the Aggies in five sets in Lawrence. But Tolefle pointed out that Kansas has never won in College Station. "We need to. We have five games left and we need to get wins, focus on playing consistently," she said. "You know, it's not such a friendly environment." — Edited by Roshni Oommen REALITY SUCKS REALITY SU LUCKILY THE GM COLLEGE DISCOUNT DOESN'T GM AND U COLLEGE DISCOUNT In fact, it's the best college discount from any car company, and can save you hundreds even thousands on a new Chevrolet.

The Jayhawks found out just who they have in the quarterback position on Saturday. "He definitely impressed everybody," coach Turner Gill said about Mecham, who started his second game of the season. Mecham led a furious 35-point rally in the fourth quarter of the greatest comeback in the history of Kansas football, beating Colorado 52-45. He finished the game throwing 23-for-28 with 252 yards, two interceptions and two touchdowns. And to think Mecham wasn't even guaranteed the starting spot coming into the game. But injuries to freshman Jordan Webb and sophomore Kale Pick allowed Mecham to orchestrate a comeback few "He was doing things right," Gill said. "He just wasn't making the physical plays." people were able to witness. Call it the tale of two halves, when Mecham threw two interceptions against the wind before halftime. The Jayhawks have benched the starting quarterback a few times already this year, and Mecham was about to become another. After his interceptions, Mecham was visibly upset because of his own lack of execution. He had open receivers but failed to hit them. After contemplation and discussion, Gill said, he and the coaching staff left him in the game. In doing so, Mecham finished the game as brilliant as any quarterback in that situation could. In the fourth quarter — the quarter that garnered a Kansas record 35 points — he went 8-for-8 with 124 yards and a touchdown. and a touchdown. Quarterbacks are supposed to be the vocal leaders of the team, but that's not Mecham. He let his play do the talking. said. And thats what we need to do. But Mecham's future role was not discussed in detail. Gill stuck to his tendency of not revealing any key roster moves immediately after the game. He said they would evaluate the team and start the player that gives them the best chance to win. to hit them. "I read the play right, I just wasn't throwing the ball right." Mecham said. "That's the frustrating part." "Coach always says just do your part," he said. "And that's what we did." In only his second start, the coaches opened up the limited playbook for Mecham a little more this game. The biggest difference was the shots he took down the field, as opposed to the short dink and dunk passes the layhawks usually run. people were able to witness. Mecham hooked up deep with senior wide receiver Jonathan Wilson on one of the key plays of the game. In the fourth quarter, Mecham knew Colorado jumped offsides before the snap, so he just launched the ball to Wilson, who then broke away from a defender for a 38-yard touchdown. It brought the game to only a two-score deficit. Junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson makes a one-handed catch in the fourth quarter against Colorado Saturday.

Webb and Pick have both been in these nations before, but couldn't get the team notely close to the production seen in fourth quarter of Saturday's game.

Jerry Wang/KANSAN Quote of the Game "You all need to come out here and get ready for the biggest comeback ever." - Gill told his players this while trailing 35-10 at halftime. A. B. Gill Grades Running backs: James Sims ran for 123 yards and a staggering four touchdowns in the second half during the comeback. As a whole, the running backs tallied 165 yards in the second half. A plus. Quarterback: After throwing two interceptions in the first half, Quinn Mecham was perfect in the final thirty minutes. He threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 12-12 passing in the second half. B plus. Defense: The first half was nothing new for the defense, as Colorado jumped out to a 35-10 lead.The second half was a different story, however, as the unit held the Buffaloes to a mere 10 points forcing a fumble and grabbing a Tyler Patmon interception in the fourth quarter. B. Coaching: Turner Gill decided to stay with the struggling Mecham at halftime, and Mecham didn't disappoint. The decision to throw the ball downfield more opened up the running game in the second half. Gill's stoic demeanor also changed in the historic second half. On more than a few bad calls, he was in the refs' faces or running down the sideline demanding an explanation. Tyler Patmon said Gill's fire pumped up the players in the fourth quarter. A. Turning Point Down 45-24 in the fourth quarter, the coaching staff decided to attempt a surprise onside kick, something they hadn't practiced all year. Bradley McDougald's recovery led to a Johnathan Wilson touchdown four plays later. Colorado's lead dwindled to 14 with nine minutes left. —Kory Carpenter Schedule Date Opponent Result/Time 9/4 vs. North Dakota State L, 6-3 9/11 vs. Georgia Tech W, 28-6 9/17 at Southern Miss L, 31-16 9/25 vs. New Mexico State W, 42-16 10/02 at Baylor L, 55-7 10/14 vs. Kansas State L, 59-7 10/23 vs. Texas A&M (Homecoming) L, 45-10 10/30 at Iowa State L, 28-16 11/06 vs. Colorado W, 52-45 11/13 at Nebraska 6 p.m. 11/20 vs. Oklahoma State TBA 11/27 vs. Missouri 11:30 a.m. 33 Freshman comerback Tyler Patmon scores a touchdown during the fourth quarter of the game against Colorado on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Sutherland led the team with four blocks in the Jayhawk victory. Chemistry: The Jayhawks were able to balance their scoring effort among guards and forwards and did not rely on sophomore forward Carolyn Davis as they did in their victory against Fort Hays State. Kansas seems to have found a rhythm and can work together as a team despite its addition of four freshmen this season. Senior center Krysten Booqard was also reintroduced to the lineup after battling tendonitis in her left knee and missing the first exhibition game. What to Watch For Sloppy Plays: The Jayhawks started the game with a turnover on their first possession. Kansas finished the first half with nine turnovers spread across the lineup. In the second half, the Jayhawks found better control and only recorded four turnovers. Washburn finished the game with 27 turnovers, which made the game easier for Kansas. Overall, Kansas was pretty smooth, but they still need to work on passes into the lane and avoid rushing plays in transition. Reason to Mope Changes in the starting line-up: In exhibition play, Kansas has found success with the current starting lineup. But with Boogaard playing again, the Jayhawks may look at a shake-up in the starting five. Coach Bonnie Henrickson seems set on playing Davis, junior forward Aishah Sutherland, and sophomore guards Monica Engelman and Angel Goodrich. The last spot would is freshman Brooke Jellniker's guard position, which Henrickson insinuated last week was up for competition among a group of young talented guards.

Texans ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON - Philip Rivers found plenty of open wide receivers against the Houston 'Texans' pass defense on Sunday. The NFL's leading passer threw four touchdowns against the league's worst pass defense, and the San Diego Chargers earned their first road win of the season in beating the Houston Texans 29-23. San Diego tight end Antonio Gates, the NFI's third-leading receiver, was inactive with a torn plantar fascia in his right foot. Rivers hardly missed him, using eight different receivers. Rivers completed 17 of 23 passes for 295 yards. He came in with 2,649 yards passing, an NFL record through the first eight games. RookieSeyi Ajirotutu and backup tight end Randy McMichael caught two touchdown passes apiece. Ajirotutu was just moved up to the active roster on Oct. 23, when linebacker Kion Wilson went on inured reserve. The Chargers (4-5) head into their bye week on their first two game winning streak of the season. Arian Foster rushed 27 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns for the Texans (4-4), who'd dropped three of their past four home games. The Texans twice failed on fourth down in the second half in blowing a 23-14 lead. McMichael's second TD catch cut the lead to 23-21 with 5:55 left in the third quarter, and the Chargers stuffed Foster on a fourth-and-1 from the 17 early in the final quarter. Rookie Kareem Jackson has taken much of the blame for the Texans' 32nd-ranked pass defense, but he intercepted Rivers' pass to Ajirotutu near midfield with about 12 minutes left. Rivers atoned on the next possession, throwing over jackson for a 28-yard touchdown pass to Ajirotutu with 5:23 left. Mike Tolbert jumped over the pile for a 2-point conversion to give San Diego a 29-23 lead. The Texans' offense stalled twice in San Diego territory in the final five minutes. Referee Mike Carey flagged Matt Schaub for intentional grounding on a pass on third down, backing up Houston to the Chargers 48. Tight end Joel Dreessen caught a 13-yard pass and slid down just short of the marker and San Diego stopped Schaub's sneak attempt on fourth-and-1. The Texars used their timeouts and forced a punt. Foster took a screen pass and gained 33 yards to the San Diego 39 just before the two-minute warning. The Chargers improved to 4-0 against the Texans after starting the game with the kind of special teams blunders that have hurt them all season. Oliver caught the opening kickoff and inexplicably stepped out of bounds at the San Diego 4. Texans linebacker Stanford Keglar then deflected Mike Scifres' punt, and Houston recovered at the Chargers 8.

The five styles are: physical, traditional, polite, sincere and playful. Hall, who wouldn't disclose his style of flirting, has been studying flirting for six years. "There's no question that people are interested in flirting at this time in their life" he said. Terry Thomas, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., said he has learned the hard way that not every type of flirting works. He said if he were out at a club, grabbing a girl's hand doesn't always go over well. "She doesn't know you," he said. "You are just taking the step on a limb." Jillian Watson, a freshman from Lawrence, said she took the flirting styles quiz on the University's website and found out she's a "playful flirt." She said she usually flirts by being touchy and joking around. But if a guy is overly sexual or forward, she said it's a "total turnoff" College students have a variety of relationships. Romantic, if you can believe that, plus others like casual relationships, on-again and off-again relationships and hook-ups are some of these types. But different relationships also mean different ways of flirting. "It makes sense that there are different styles to go about courtship." Hall said. Hall also said some people who take the flirting styles quiz on the website might be surprised by their results. It's possible that a person's prominent flirting style might be going against their romantic motives. For example, if a person were searching for a romantic relationship but has a playful flirting style, potential partners may not think they are serious. Hall said some styles are less prominent among young people than among older people. Men are actually less likely to be physical and sincere when they are younger, but might have those styles as they age. Also, some women are less physical and polite when they are younger, but might gravitate toward these styles as they get older. But Hall said the most pronounced age difference is that women are much more traditional when they are younger than when they are older. said. "It you want to —Edited by Leslie Kinsman Photo illustration by Adam Hichel About the study PETER L. BERLIN Jeffrey Hall, assistant professor of communications, said that before this study, flirting research suggested that there was really only one way to go about flirting. Hall and his co-authors had the opportunity to survey more than 5,000 adults about their ways of flirting. The adults surveyed were using the online dating website eHarmony. Hall But the study didn't just include college students. Participants were ages 18-94. "Having that diversity of ages allows us to actually sort of see, What is my flirting style relative to people my same age and gender?" he said. The "Flirting Styles Quiz," which can be found on KU's homepage, asks 36 questions The "Flirting Styles Quiz," which can be found on KU's homepage, asks 36 questions about flirting preferences. Results from these questions show a person's prominent w they rank against peers. flaring style and how they rank against peers. However, there is an important limitation to the study. Hall said. The five styles describe heterosexual relationships only. There weren't enough homosexual participants in the study to form accurate claims, Hall said. Hall had three co-authors in the study: Steve Carter, senior director of research and product development at eHarmony.com; Michael J. Cody, professor at the University of Southern California and Julie M. Albright, adjunct professor at the University of Southern California. Results from their study will be published in the October issue of the journal Communication Quarterly. Five ways of flirting Physical Traditional These are people who are comfortable using their physicality and body language to express attraction. This is the style that involves aspects most people associate with flirting including body language, tone of voice and being touchy. This style involves more traditional romantic scripts. Men should take the lead in romantic engagements and women should be more passive.Women who aren't passive are typically turnoffs. Polite Polite This style is based on the idea that flirting in forward or aggressive ways is unappealing. People with this flirting style are cautious and rule-governed. These people are also careful in the way they say they're interested in someone. Sincere People with this flirting style are seeking an emotional connection through flirting. Like the physical style, this is one of the more prominent ways that people go about expressing attraction. If this style is adopted on its own, the person isn't really interested in sexual chemistry, but more about learning about the person behind the body. Playful We think of playful flirts as flirting with everyone they meet. They feel like flirting is fun and that is doesn't have to be reserved for sexual interest or romantic desire. HANNAH ARREDONDO Kansas City, Mo. freshman WHAT DO YOU THINK? How do you flirt? I just, you know, hit him. I would say wink, but I don't really do that. I like when people wink at me. I don't know. Smile a lot. That's it. DUHL CHUSTER What could a guy do that would be a turnoff? When they send smiley faces in texts and winky texts, that's the one thing that really bothers me. PHIL SHUSTER Topeka freshman How do you flirt? How do you furt? I just talk to girls and if they talk back, I just keep talking to them, I guess. What should flirting be? Flirting should be fun and joking around at first Then you can take it a little more serious when you get to know them more. JASON HABERLY Independence senior How do you flirt? I had a lady tell me today that I'm very forward. I'm broke so I'm adamant about the fact that the only thing I could bring to a casual encounter would be food. I just try to get a smile on a flirt. I leave the sexual innuendos out of it because it's not about sex. It's just about friendship. Friendship can turn into something else. It's all situational. Each flirtation is different. I'm a situational flirt I guess. CITY OF NEW YORK BRITINI DELGADO Louisburg senior How do you flirt? Jokes are a good way to break the ice and laughter. That's how I started the relationship with my boyfriend. It wasn't corny. It was fun and original stuff.

CRIME Jayhawk statue is damaged again this statue was discovered uprooted a few feet away from its original spot Saturday morning, just hours before the Colorado football game. The Classic Jayhawk statue in front of the Kansas Union was damaged over the weekend, marking the second occurrence this semester. A KU maintenance employee discovered the Jayhawk when it was not bolted to the ground in front of the Union. Wayne Pearse, director of facilities, then notified emergency dispatchers between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Pearse said he doesn't understand why people keep vandalizing the statue. Luckily damage was not that bad this time. Prior to its re-installment we are going to take some additional measures to ensure its safety from this point forward. But we don't want to elaborate on what that might be," Pearse said. "It's hard for us to believe that someone wants to damage our mascot so much." Two ATMs inside of the Union were also damaged along with the statue. The front plates were broken into, but it's unclear if any money was taken. Pearse said the University Public Safety Office does have evidence on camera of an individual vandalizing the ATMs. — Katie Priebe Investigators are still unsure if the vandalism with the Jayhawk statue is related to the ATM incidents.

Kelsey Sparks, a junior from Eagan, Minn., and an employee in the University Career Center, said jobs are posted and updated daily to the career center website at jobs. ku.edu. In October, 31 jobs were posted to the website as either student hourly or student work study jobs. Students have to apply to be eligible for work study through the government. Jobs on the website can be general opportunities such as desk jobs or graders, or more degree specific within individual departments like music or business. Ann Hartley, the associate director of the career center, said the basic need for income and the convenience of working on campus appeal to students. "Usually, they can just get out of class and go right to work." Hartley said. Occasionally though, Hartley said she gets students who call and say they want a job where they can just study. "I always say 'you know what, no one is going to pay you to study,'" Hartley said. But working at the University can be beneficial during breaks and finals week. "Some departments are more flexible compared to off campus jobs that don't work with the academic calendar year," Hartley said. "That's not to say students automatically get those dates off though." The career center website typically has a surge of postings in August and January as the semesters change and students decide to leave or stay. Adam Smith, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., decided to look for a job on campus because he didn't want to have to move back home for the summer. Smith found a job as a peer adviser until his current position for the academic year opened up in August. Now, he has a year-long job in the Advising Center. The convenience of working in Strong Hall, Smith said, is great because his classes in Stauffer-Flint and Lindley Hall are nearby. Despite dozens of job postings, Hartley and Smith acknowledged that the hiring process is competitive on campus. Hartley said some postings that only have one position available may receive 60 to 70 applications. Although Smith said the application process was long, he said it was worth the extra work. "I absolutely love my job," Smith said. "It has changed me from wanting to go into news and media forecast into wanting to go to graduate school for higher education."

Following the presentation, there will be an informational fair with representatives from the University Career Center, the KU Bookstore, the KU Alumni Association, and the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. This aspect of the event will help students in planning for further education, career opportunities, and the graduation ceremony.

NATIONAL California police look for truck-driving murderer ASSOCIATED PRESS RIVERSIDE, Calif.— Police scoured a Southern California park for clues Monday as they searched for a truck driver accused of gunning down an officer during what should have been a routine traffic stop. Authorities said the gunman, wearing dark clothing, drove off in the cab of an 18-wheeler after a shootout with Riverside Officer Ryan Bonaminio, who had pulled him over because his truck was apparently involved in a hit-and-run accident near a state highway. The cab did not have a trailer attached. Officers found a cab that might have been the getaway vehicle Monday, though they were still trying to confirm that, said Riverside assistant police chief Chris Vicino. They were trying to determine the shooter's identity. Bonaminio, 27, was on patrol in this Los Angeles suburb late Sunday when he pulled over the truck. The driver got out and Bonaminio chased him into nearby Fairmount Park. The two exchanged gunshots and at least one hit Bonaminio, Lt. Leon Phillips said. Backup officers found him on the ground. The four-year member of the police department and Iraq war veteran died at a hospital. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered flags flown at half-staff at the state Capitol in his honor Eight members of the Riverside Treasure Hunter's Club helped them scour the fringe of the park and a nearby riverbed with metal detectors, hoping to find a gun. After a five-hour search, club members said officers found shell casings and they unearthed keys that may have belonged to Bonaminio, but no weapon. Officers congregated on the edge of the park, which houses tennis courts, lakes and play areas. Yellow tape and patrol cars blocked access to the park, which was to remain sealed well into Monday afternoon as police continued looking for witnesses, Lt. Steve Johnson said. Hours after the shooting, Bonaminio's patrol car remained outside the park's entrance as a helicopter hovered overhead and investigators had the area searched with metal detectors. "Officer Ryan Bonaminio's tragic death is a reminder to all of us in the law enforcement family that the supreme sacrifice of our service is also a cost borne by our loved ones, our families, and our community," police Chief of Police Sergio Diaz said. San Diego officer Christopher Wilson, 50, was killed in a shootout on Oct. 27 as officers served an arrest warrant at an apartment. He joined the Army after graduating from high school in 2000 and was a military police officer in Iraq and Kuwait. He also was with a support battalion in Germany. "Sometimes we win, sometimes we don't," said Bob Bowes, one of the volunteer treasure He was the second Southern California policeman killed in the line of duty in the past two weeks. Bonaminio, who was born and raised in Riverside, is survived by his parents, a brother and sister. hunters called to the scene by police. 20 20 20 --- "I want every Indian citizen to know: The United States of America will not simply be cheering you on from the sidelines," Obama said inside the soaring legislative chamber of the capital city. "We will be right there with you, shoulder to shoulder, because we believe in the promise of India." To Obama, that promise entails shaking up the world order by giving more voice to developing countries that offer lucrative markets for U.S. products and potential help to counter terrorism and a warming planet. India fits Obama's agenda perfectly because it is the world's largest democracy and sits in the heart of a pivotal, vexing region.

By spending three packed days in India, announcing trade deals, dismissing job-outsourcing gripes and admonishing India's rival Pakistan, Obama went all in for an ally whose support he hopes to bank on for years. INTERNATIONAL NEW DELHI - Deepening America's stake in Asian power politics, President Barack Obama on Monday endorsed India's bid to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, hoping to elevate the nation of a billion people to "its rightful place in the world" alongside an assertive China. Obama endorses India's U.N. bid The president claims it was appropriate for the populous country The diplomacy in India also gave Obama a chance to reassert himself on the global stage, far from Washington in the aftermath after humbling congressional elections. ASSOCIATED PRESS His final day in India began with a lavish welcome ceremony at the majestic palace residence of India's president and ended there as Obama and his wife, Michelle, were toasted to a state dinner. The capstone of Obama's outreach here came when he announced support for India's long push to achieve a permanent place on the Security Council, the elite body responsible for maintaining international peace. It underlined Obama's contention that the partnership between the U.S. and India could have defining impact on both countries and the world. "The just and sustainable international order that America seeks includes a United Nations that is efficient, effective, credible and legitimate," Obama said as he called for India to be part of a reformed council. Yet White House aides acknowledge any changes to the council could be messy and years in the making. Attempts to expand the council have long failed because of rivalries between countries. India considered Obama's move to be an enormous coup regardless. India is part of the so-called Group of Four, with Germany, Japan and Brazil, that has been seeking permanent seats as major economic and political powers. U.S. backing for a permanent seat for India is important, but officials here must also win support of the other veto-wielding council members, and the General Assembly has to agree on reform plan. The five permanent members of the Security Council are the U.S., China, France, the United Kingdom and Russia. The only other country the U.S. has endorsed for permanent membership is Japan. Pakistan criticized Obama's statement, accusing India of "blatant violations" of U.N. resolutions and calling on the U.S. to "take a moral view and not base itself on any temporary expediency or exigencies of power politics." China has long objected to India's proposed ascension to the council. The dangerous tensions between neighboring Pakistan and India helped frame Obama's trip. Pakistan is vitally important to Obama' bid to root out terrorists and win the war in Afghanistan. But India is deeply suspicious of Pakistan and demanding a stronger crackdown on extremist elements within the country's borders. In another key gesture, Obama went further than he had earlier in addressing the terror threat inside Pakistan. "We will continue to insist to Pakistan's leaders that terrorist safe havens within their borders are unacceptable, and that the terrorists behind the Mumbai attacks be brought to justice," the president said. He was referring to the 2008 attacks on the Indian financial hub that left 166 people dead at the hands of Pakistani-based extremists. Obama coupled the Security Council endorsement with an admonition for India that "with increased power comes increased responsibility." He said it is leadership, not intervention, when a country acts to the stop the oppression of another. Much of any discussion about India is also seen through the prism of China — both by the White House and by nations within Asia that are wary of China's growing might. A higher standing by India is widely seen as a way to keep power in balance in Asia, although Obama is also reaching out to China and will meet with its president later this week. Spare time?

Runaway train and little time make for 'Unstoppable' plot MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE There's a train. It's long, with lots of cars loaded with toxic chemicals. And nobody's driving it as it hurles toward heavily populated parts of Pennsylvania. And Denzel and Chris Pine are the only two guys who can chase it down and stop it. That's all there is to Tony Scott's lightning-fast runaway train thriller, "Unstoppable" — “a missile the size of the Chrysler Building” and a couple of movie stars playing working class Joes who want to save the day. And that's enough. With Scott shooting and cutting this minimalist thriller to an hour and 35 minutes of heavy metal flying at you and the cool, collected old timer, Frank (Denzel Washington) and his distracted trainee Will (Chris Pine of "Star Trek") jumping from one car to another, dodging hazards at rail crossings, this race against the clock works. The director of the limp "Pelham 123" remake takes a second shot at his railway movie, and this time gets it right. Frank has decades of experience, so today's shuffle of cars here and there along a short stretch of rail shouldn't be a big deal. But elsewhere, others with less of a professional bent have made a boo-boo. A train "got away" from them.

"It got away from you?" the boss (Rosario Dawson) cracks. "It's a train, not a chipmunk." 2 for 1 admission tonight !! As the "coaster" picks up speed, a welder is sent dashing off, by truck, to track it. Alarms are sounded. The BIG boss (Kevin Dunn) gets grumpy and the observing Federal inspector (Kevin Corrigan) drops little pearls of wisdom about the physics of trains to Dawson's hard-pressed line supervisor. A train load of school kids on an excursion is out there. Towns and then cities are on the tracks ahead of the "coaster." And it's no longer coasting. Scott's film touches on the state of the American workplace (understaffed) and the American workforce (overworked, facing layoffs). But this is a straight-ahead ticking clock thriller, with the usual Tony S. trademarks — punchy dialogue and men doing what needs to be done. Oh yeah, and Frank is a proud father of two Hooters Girls working their way through college. Will has "issues" at home. Another Tony Scott touch. Washington and Pine have an easy rapport that makes even the soap opera elements go by easily. Mark Bomback's script (he wrote "Live Free or Die Hard," and the "Escape to Witch Mountain" remake) has an easy way with the jargon and a feel for the work _ "In training, they give you an F. Out here in the real world, you get killed." It's not as breakneck as it might have been. There are plenty of conventional pauses in the action while Frank and Will talk about their lives, their problems. Scott gets a bit carried away with identifying every single location, overly concerned with the geography of this "inspired by true events" story.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: Y equals T All puzzles © King features CELEBRITIES Lovato's teen stardom keeps it kid friendly MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — As the star of the Disney Channel series "Sonny With a Chance," teen actress Demi Lovato plays an effervescent small-town girl who wins a national talent contest to land a starring role on a popular variety show. As the title character, Sonny copes with a jealous costar, a dearth of fan mail and the hazards of celebrity dating, among other situations only to be encountered by a budding idol. One facet the upbeat comedy for kids is unlikely to explore is the dark side of teen stardom. The issue nonetheless came to the fore last week with a crisis in Lovato's personal life that forced her to withdraw a concert tour with the Jonas Brothers to seek treatment for "emotional and physical issues." People close to the 18-year-old star, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, say she struggled with eating disorders and self-mutation before her breakthrough role on the Disney Channel series. These hazards stand to become more commonplace as a growing number of kid-focused shows put kids front and center, according to people who work with young actors Unlike years past, when young hopefuls had limited opportunities on prime-time family sitcoms, the media giants in recent years have created an entire industry of television networks and programs devoted to the 20 million children ages 8 to 12 who influence $43 billion in annual spending. That has been accompanied by a rise in "live action" kids shows on channels such as Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and newcomer The Hub that led to demand for child and teenage actors. "You're going to see more of this," said former child actor Paul Petersen, who heads A Minor Consideration, a non-profit group that offers support for young performers. "And it's going to become more and more obvious." Petersen isn't the only one concerned: Demi's father, Patrick Lovato, said that he has been worried about how his daughter would cope with the pressures of being a child star. But he said he never discussed his qualms with her mother, Diana De La Garza. "I kept those emotions to myself because Dianna was so excited, I didn't want to burst anyone's bubble," Patrick Lovato said.

POLITICS Bipartisanship is more than voting similarly Last Tuesday night, after the Grand Old Party shellacked the Democrats, an elated and emotional John Boehner, the next speaker of the house, offered his interpretation of the "message" sent from voters. At the National Republican Congressional Committee's victory party in Washington, Boehner said, "Across the country right now, we are witnessing a repudiation of Washington, a repudiation of big government, and a repudiation of politicians who refuse to listen to the people." There's some truth to this. The disconnect between voters and their elected officials has grown wider over the past few decades and can be gauged by the Capitol's inefficiency. George Packer of The New Yorker recently pointed out how the Senate, "the world's greatest deliberative body," a place where great minds once worked together through compromise and debate, has turned into a political standoff, where lawmakers barely know one another because of their polarizing, ideological positions and their constant need to fundraise. Instead of working together, Republican and Democratic lawmakers try to outmaneuver one another in a never-ending struggle for power, which is needed to pass laws nowadays because a simple majority doesn't work; supermajorities are required. Starting the Conversation This has led to a record number of filibusters and cloture votes that have nearly paralyzed Capitol Hill. Over the summer, in testimony before the Committee on Rules and Administration, Thomas Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said, "The resulting procedural arms race has served individual and partisan interests but has diminished the Senate as an institution and weakened the country's capacity to govern" BY D.M. SCOTT Even worse, the ones incessant demands draw lawmakers outside the Capitol, like with "dialing for dollars", which fosters negligence inside the voting chambers. Tom Daschle, the former Democratic leader, said that his chaotic schedule, micromanaged down to 15-minute intervals, left him lost at times and clueless as how to vote. "If you're ever pressed, 'Why did you vote that way?'—you just walk out thinking, Oh, my God, I hope nobody asks, because I don't have a clue," he said in Packer's article. An astonishing admission when In his autobiography, Vice President Joe Biden wrote about a different era in the "70s, "Democrats and Republicans actually enjoyed each other's company," he wrote. There was a time when lawmakers from both sides of the aisle lived in Washington, attended the same social gatherings and even ate lunch together. Relationships were built that fostered a bipartisan environment, Packer wrote. Yet when triumphant Boehner said, "The American people are concerned about the government takeover of healthcare. I think it is important for us to lay the groundwork before we begin to repeal this monstrosity..."we know we are not moving toward a more efficient government. Going after health care is a fruitless endeavor when the president holds the power to veto. It's time we move on; that's what the people mandated. Our role as citizens goes beyond voting. Now, we must watch our lawmakers work and evaluate how they work together. This will more than likely mirror our own conversations. Will we discuss and listen? Or will we shout and point? D. M.

MARIAM SAIFAN GUEST COLUMN Returning to gold standard means more than 'freedom' and 'liberty' If platitudes are a disease, American politics is experiencing an epidemic. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are infected, some more severely than others. And who can blame them? It seems most Americans will always get behind vague, constitutional-sounding things like "personal freedom" and "protecting liberty," so why shouldn't candidates pepper their speeches with such phrases? It's not that these concepts aren't important. But trying to back up every argument with rhetoric that sounds as if it was lifted from Patrick Henry trivializes the ideals that are being invoked and misinforms the electorate. This is especially true with a subject as complex as the United States' $13 trillion economy. An acute case of the disease was on display at Rep. Ron Paul's speech in the IMU last week. The Texas Republican is a rare politician in many ways. He actually sticks to his principles, has delivered thousands of babies, and believes in a drastic overhaul of the U.S. economy. Paul wants to end the Federal Reserve and put the United States back on a form of the gold standard. So it is important for people to understand the consequences of those plans before they buy a "Paul 2012" bumper sticker. Anyone who went to Paul's speech expecting a coherent articulation of his economic positions would have left unsatisfied. Beyond his general talking points, Paul did not discuss his reasoning very thoroughly. The libertarian said Americans need to know more about Austrian economics (a heterodox school of economic thought), but didn't mention which tenets of the school he agreed with or why. Paul believes the Fed is the root of inflation. He argues that in the Fed's efforts to stabilize or stimulate the economy, it actually ends up making things worse. He relates this to his common theme of "liberty" by saying that the government is imposing an implicit tax on everyone, because inflation lowers the value of everyone's money. His solution to this problem? Abolish the Federal Reserve and back up the dollar with gold. He did talk frequently, however, about eliminating the Federal Reserve (prompting raucous chants of "End the Fed") and putting the United States back on the gold standard. Paul has stated in past interviews that he doesn't want the United States to go back to the 19th-century version of the gold standard. Instead, he wants to make currency redeemable in gold and silver, known as "hard currency." If the United States decided to strictly adhere to the gold standard — so that $1 of currency was redeemable for $1 in gold — the total money supply would shrink by 70 to 80 percent, Convibeara said. Hopefully, most of Paul's supporters understand the policies they vociferously advocate. His preferred policies would have a huge effect on the life of every American. And it is not a decision voters should make if they are basing their opinions solely on vague pronouncements of "freedom" and "liberty." Under the gold standard, every dollar of U.S. currency would be backed by gold, meaning you could redeem a dollar bill for a set amount of gold whenever you wanted. Proponents argue the benefits of the system would include less severe inflation and a more stable international-exchange rate. — From UWIRE, Will Mattessich for The Daily Iowan, University of Iowa. CIVIL LIBERTIES Iowa Supreme Court judged on specific decisions not capabilities Human Rights for All The election outcome in Iowa a week ago, concluding in the removal of three state Supreme Court justices, is disturbing for two reasons: it undermines the state's judicial system and it reinforces the very mind set that encourages bullying LGBT students in school. the reason why United States Supreme Court justices can only be removed by impeachment is to prevent their decisions from being made. The vote to remove the justices came after a conservative campaign under the guise of eradicating "activist judges". The campaign based this assessment on the court's unanimous vote to strike down a state law that outlawed same-sex marriage. AII As Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California, Irvine, School of Law, said in the New York Times, "What is so disturbing about this Unfortunately, these judges did not have the same protection. Clearly the court based its ruling on its interpretation of the law and the constitution, as it was supposed to do. Unfortunately, making a decision on such a controversial issue meant taking a risk. The court found that the state law violated the equal protection under the law guaranteed by the constitution and that the law did not "substantially further any important government objective," said Justice Mark S. Cady, who was not one of the three removed from the court (New York Times). BY KELLY COSBY is that it really might cause judges in the future to be less willing to protect minorities out of fear that they might be voted out of office" Also disturbing is this outcome's implication of the way our society views homosexuality. Many people will continue to claim there is a disconnect between same-sex marriage rights and the vicious anti-gay bullying epidemic, but the longer we hold onto that fallacy, the longer this distorted mind set will continue to pardue our country. Members of the national community cannot lobby against equal rights for LGBT citizens and then be shocked when schoolchildren bully their gay classmates. Teaching kids that certain people don't belong and don't deserve all their rights as citizens gives them ammunition and encourages discrimination. As it is, our society's collective mind set may take some time to change. But, we should feel confident when judges like these put their own interests aside to do what they feel is right by the constitution.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Salary issues larger than faculty freeze As Lisa Wolf-Wendel pointed out, rising costs and static salaries create a de facto pay cut. On the whole, staff earn less than faculty, so we are hit disproportionally by cuts. Unclassified staff have been let go I'd like to offer a different perspective on Stephen Gray's Nov. 3 story "Static faculty salaries amount to pay cuts." KU staff — both Unclassified and University Support Staff — haven't received a pay raise in two years, either. The issue of salary freezes is larger than just faculty. because of budget cuts. Staff and faculty positions have been left open because of empty coffers. I applaud the administration's willingness to fight for salary increases for all KU workers. I hope the Board of Regents and incoming Kansas Legislature fund higher education across the state to keep it the vital resource, economic engine and investment in the growth and vitality of the state that we know it is. — Phil Wilke is the president of Unclassified Senate.

But this appeared to be an escalation, with the 39-year-old cleric arguing that no rationale was needed to seek out and kill Americans. Cairo — A U.S.-born radicalicler who belongs to the al-Qaida offshoot behind the cargo bomb plot on the United States told Muslims they are free to kill American "devils" at will in a video posted on extremist websites Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Anwar al-Awlaki's vitriolic sermons have inspired several attacks against the United States, and Yemeni officials say he may have given his blessing to the mail bomb plot even if he did not take an active part in it. The al-Qaida branch in Yemen, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, claimed responsibility for the foiled bomb plot. "Don't consult with anybody in killing the Americans," al-Awlaki said in the 23-minute video, in which he appeared dressed in a white robe and turban, with a sheathed dagger tucked into his waistband. INTERNATIONAL Short excerpts from the al-Awaki video were released on Oct. 23, two weeks before the mail bombs were uncovered. But this was the first full posting of the video. U. S. officials told The Associated Press last week that military aid to Yemen would double to $250 million in 2011 to help the country fight al-Qaida. The White House is seeking greater cooperation on intelligence sharing with the Yemeni government and more opportunities to train Yemeni counterterrorism teams in the aftermath of the failed mail bomb plot, a senior administration official said Sunday. "Fighting the devil does not require a fatwa, nor consultation nor prayers seeking divine guidance. They are the party of Satan and fighting them is the obligation of the time," he said. militarized in the Al-Awlaki also attacked rulers in the Arab world, describing them as corrupt, and he called on religious scholars to declare them "non-Muslims" for betraying the Muslim people. Fatwas are religious rulings on even the most mundane personal issues, such as marriage or finances and have been issued to allow the killing of people deemed to have insulted Islam or to have harmed Muslims. inspiring militants to becoming an active operative in al-Qaida's affiliate there. "There is an American policy presented to the Yemeni government, funded by the West, for the people of this country to alienate them from their religion," said al-Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico of Yemeni parents. In the video, al-Awlaki accused the United States of pouring money into Yemen to encourage Yemenis to shun their religion. U.

ADMISSIONS Standards may rise soon BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com Education officials in Kansas are attempting to raise the bar on public university admissions standards. The Admissions Task Force, assembled by the Kansas Board of Regents, met in Topeka Wednesday. The task force, which consists of chief academic officers and admissions directors, approved recommended changes to the undergraduate admission requirements for the six public state universities. The committee also approved the deletion of civics as a social science requirement, added career and technical education courses to the electives list, included the math provisions and changed the standards for GED graduates, home-schooled students and those over 21 years old. The reccomendations will next go before the Academic Affairs Committee and the Board of Regents, likely in December and January, respectively. The Board of Regents will make the final decision. "Today, under our standards if you have a D and a 21 on your ACT you can get it," Gary Sherrer said about state admission into college. Sherrer, the chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents and the The pre-college curriculum proposal includes changes to the English, math, social science and elective requirements. It would also require either a fourth mathematics course in the final year of high school or three courses with the requirement that the student meets ACT standard scores. The concern about the current admission standards is that if a student receives a 21 or higher ACT score, universities are not aware what courses the student took in preparation for his or her post-secondary education. The committee believes that lack of preparation contributes to the high dropout rate amongst freshman and the low graduation rates. Referring to an ACT study, the committee said that requiring Increased graduation and retention rates is a common theme at the university this year. One of the major components of the changes that the committee discussed extensively before the approval was the requirement of a 17-unit pre-college curriculum. task force, said the changes would send a message that if you want to go to a state university, you have to do more than graduate. Barbara Romzek, senior vice provost at the University, said the hope is that the changes to admissions requirements will better communicate to students what they need to do in order to be better prepared and successful.

Pam Robinson, board of education member for Blue Valley Schools, said the math component of the proposal would cost the Shawnee Mission school district alone $500,000. "How will we impact the most number of kids to prepare them better, without any data?" Ronald Walker, the superintendent of Geary County Schools, said. Resistance toward the curriculum change recommendations arose because of a lack of data to support the benefit of the proposals and to say that current students who don't take the curriculum are unsuccessful. Advocates for the curriculum and proposals pushed the weary to consider the overall benefit and to remember that these suggestions are only recommendations and will allow for flexibility. In light of the proposed curriculum, Emporia State University responded to the proposals in a statement that said only 130 of its current students who had ACT scores of 24 or higher would have met the proposed requirements. Gary Miller, the provost of Wichita State University and task force member, is the representing body for all of the state university provests and is answering to the Council of Chief Academic Officers of which Jeffrey Vitter, the provost, is the chair. Edited by Tim Dwyer Miller said it shouldn't be about the money but about better preparing students to be successful. The changes are the first attempt the task force has taken to change admission standards since the 2009 legislative session that gave the Kansas Board of Regents the authority to establish requirements. The committee said they are not asking for drastic changes to the standards because "that would blow the state out of the water." These are the current admission standards to a state university for Kansas high school graduates. Only one of three requirements need to be met: Score of 21 or better on the ACT Rank in the top third of their class Complete a pre-college curriculum set by the regents with at least a 2.0 grade-point average 1.

SELF DEFENSE Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Jayhawks hope to take sting out of Hornets KANSAS 24 ABOY 5 sophomore guard Travis Reeford guards a Washburn player during Kansas' first exhibition game of the season last week. Kansas will face Emporia State tonight at 7 p.m. in its final exhibition game before opening the regular season on Friday against Lonwood. BYTIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/WUKbasketball There's one easy way to tell if Bill Self is unhappy with his team. PAGE 1B If they're not playing defense, he's unhappy. Plain and simple. No excuses. Self is a defensive guru, and, judging by the response from his players Monday afternoon, his team is buying in. What does Self want to improve on? "Post defense." How about junior forward Markiep Morris? "Get better defensively." Senior guard Tyrel Reed? Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor? Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson? "Defensively, we had a lot of breakdowns. We want to definitely improve on that." "Defensive intensity is always the key for us." "We could tighten up on the defense." Saying it is one thing, though. Doing it is something completely from getting open looks for all of the 35-second shot clock, not just the first 25. Taylor said that was a problem in last week's 92-62 thumping of Washburn. different. The Jayhawks need, by their shots with under 10 seconds their reckoning, to keep teams on the shot clock," he said. "We've just got to be solid through the whole shot clock." "Defensively, we had a lot of breakdowns. We want to definitely improve on that." BILL SELF Coach "I think we can play defense, but I think last week they got a lot of R e e d said those 10 seconds could make or break the Jayhawks' defenses "I feel like good teams can play "I don't think any of our guys have thought it will be bad that we don't have Cole down low anymore. Plus, all guys think they block shots just as well or better than the guy before them. You'll be disappointed if you didn't feel that way." Self said. "I do think that when Jeff gets back, that will be a bonus for us in that particular element, because, when we do make a mistake he will be able to cover better than our other guys." The biggest change defensively is the literal biggest change defensively. Gone is the towering 6-foot-11 Cole Aldrich, who went to Oklahoma City with the 11th pick in the NBA draft last summer. Aldrich, who left with one year of eligibility remaining, finished his career two blocks shy of the Kansas career record. defense for 25 seconds," he said. "Great teams play for 35 seconds. That's where we want to be" Morris said the best way to improve the post defense would be to own the rebounding battle and limit opponent's second chances. It's another facet Aldrich will be missed in, but Morris said the Jayhawks still want to outbound every team by at least 10. Looking to fill some of that void will be Jeff Withey, but Aldrich's shot-blocking presence covered all manner of defensive sins. "We've got to block out a lot more," he said. "With Cole here he would just grab it, you know, over everybody, but now we need to block out a lot more and rebound more as a team." Edited by Michael Bednar FOOTBALL Jayhawks face tough slate after historic victory Kansas overcame the odds to win Saturday but the rest of the schedule is unforgiving BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com When coach Turner Gill told his players to prepare for the biggest comeback ever during his halftime speech Saturday against Colorado, he wasn't just spewing out hollow words to motivate his 2-6 football team, down 35-10 at that point. He actually believed it. "I thought the body language was good" he said Between the "Believe" shirts worn by staff and players and the constant talk of confidence by "You always find the positives in every game, and this was a big positive." able to overcome the deficit that we did, we'll definitely use this as much as we can to continue to gain confidence." Whatever those errors were, Gill and his coaches corrected them en route to the biggest comeback in KU history. The offensive woes were shaken in the second half, led by big performances by running back James Sims and quarterback Quinn Mecham. Sims ran for 4 touchdowns and Mecham was a perfect 12-12 in the final 30 minutes. Gill said he thought about replacing Mecham, but decided to give him another shot in the final half. during his Monday teleconference. "I just thought there were some key errors that we could correct in the second half." TURNER GILL Coach With a bowl game still nearly out of the question this season, Gill believes Saturday's comeback can be used for motivation the rest of the year as well as into next season. If Kansas finds itself down 35 points against any of its remaining "You always find the positives in every game, and this was a big positive," he said. "For them to be their head coach, there is no doubt Gill will remind his players of Saturday's comeback many times over the course of the final three games. The first leg of that journey begins this Saturday as Gill returns to Nebraska to face his former team for the first time as a head coach. The Cornhuskers are 8-1 and a near-lock for the Big 12 northe title. opponents, a comeback won't be easy: each team left on the schedule is ranked in the top 25 in the BCS standings. The following Saturday brings the Oklahoma State Cowboys to town, who are also 8-1 and 10th in the BCS standings. After those tough games back-to-back. The Jayhawks finish off their season with a trip to Arrowhead and the 119th edition of the Border War against the Missouri Tigers, who are sitting at 7-2 on the year. With only four combined losses by those three teams, expecting another historic upset might be too much to ask if the Jayhawks get down early once again. Edited by Roshni Oommen L KANSAS KI Jerry Wang/KANSAN Kansas coach Turner Gill engages in a heated argument with the officials after junior linebacker Chea Peterman was whistled for a personal foul late in the fourth quarter. The defense was able to stop Colorado's drive and forced a point with less than three minutes in the quarter. COMMENTARY Teahan, Woolridge may take redshirts Jason BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com It looks like the Jayhaws have one redshirt candidate decided. Coach Bill Self didn't make the official statement, but it looks like senior guard Conner Teahan will be red shirting this season. "It hasn't been decided, but we're definitely leaning towards sitting him," Self said in a press conference Monday. In order for Teahan to remain eligible for red shirting this season, he won't play tonight against Emporia State. If you've followed the team for a while, this shouldn't come as a shock. In three seasons with the Jayhawks, Teahans hasn't seen more than a four-minute average of game time. Last season, he played a total of 73 minutes in 19 games. His size and shooting ability could serve most valuable at the three position. Seniors Tyrel Reed, Brady Morningstar and Mario Little all started last Tuesday against Washburn, but they will be gone at season's end. And if freshman Josh Selby and juniors Marcus and/ or Markieff Morris prove worthy, they could head to the NBA. Teahan would be a welcome leader with most of the upperclassmen gone. More importantly, Teahan can focus on school and his studies in finance. Last season, Little red-shirted because it ensured his graduation, which Self said is a top priority for his athletes. Teahan made news last fall when he tried out for the Kansas football team at quarterback. He ultimately stuck with basketball. This season, it looks like he could have seen some action on the field with all the quarterback injuries on the football team. There are a lot of minutes for the taking in 2011, pending next year's acquisitions. But Teahan could be taking a lot of those, though his small sample size of game experience makes it hard to predict where that will be. There is a swarm of debate if and who another red shirt candidate could be. The immediate thought is freshman guard Royce Woolridge. He is a freshman, so he's eligible to play in the preseason and still qualify for a red shirt. But Self wouldn't give any indication on the status of Woolridge. But on the Jayhawk basketball team, as does happen with top-10 teams, there aren't a lot of minutes for the taking. Self said part of the redshirting decision for Teahan came with the large graduating class. He seems to be in the same position as sophomore Elijah Johnson was this year: odd-guard out and has experience going against him. We won't know his status until possibly after the first preseason game. In practice, at least, Woolridge is doing what is expected of him. "He's a freshman." Self said. "He's going through his moments, but Royce is doing fine."

For the first time in team history, the Cowboys have made an in-season coaching change with owner and general manager Jerry Jones handing the interim job to their assistant coach Jason Garrett. Phillips' job security has been a consistent question even after winning two NFC East titles in three seasons but the Cowboys' 1-7 start forced Jones to do something he has never done before and consistently said this season he would not do. The Cowboys entered 2010 with the hopes of being the first team to play in a Super Bowl in its own stadium only to see dreams of a spot in Super Bowl XLV crash. The only team with a worse record than the Cowboys is winless Buffalo. Phillips finished with a 34-22 record, but his time will be remembered more for what the Cowboys were unable to accomplish.

First, it's the best sports drama in the history of television, and that includes the 1990's hit animated series, "Mighty Ducks." Second, I am convinced that the 2010 Kansas football team is living out the storyline of the fourth season of "Friday Night Lights." The similarities are simply too striking and numerous for there not to be some cosmic tie between this year's Jayhawks and the fictitious television football team. BY HOEL DENNIS For starters, the fourth season (which aired on DirectTV's The10 Network last winter) features a high school coach named Eric Taylor who takes over a brand new football program at East Dillon High School. He's charged with building the team from scratch, much like Kansas coach Turner Gill's task of rebuilding the Jayhawks after a disappointing 5-7 in 2009 oil drum in the middle of the lake. Both the lahayaks and the East Dillon Lions suffer terrible starts to their seasons. Kansas lost to Division 1-AA North Dakota State 6-3. The Lions forfeited their first game at halftime after going down 45-0 to the South King Rangers in the first half. jayhawks after a disapointing Gill attempted to galvanize his team by removing names from the back of players jerseys. Coach Taylor motivated his players by burning his players' old jerseys in an old oil drum in the middle of the field. BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com Things only got worse in both teams' seasons, as gang-related violence Both coaches came under intense scrutiny, too. Many Kansas fans voiced their displeasure with Gill after blowout losses to Baylor, Kansas State and Texas &M. However, he didn't have it as bad as coach Taylor, who had his front yard vandalized by white flags and learned that the school's nerdy science teacher had kissed his wife. Kansas continued its Big 12 losing streak and the Lions lost their next three games, nearly losing their starting quarterback to gang-related violence in the process. Devastating injuries marked the low point of the Jayhawks' and Lions' seasons. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb went down for the Jayhawks with a shoulder injury against Texas A&M and standout Lion running back Luke Cafferty suffered a freak accident on his parents' West Texas farm when a group of cattle rammed him against a metal fence, giving him a nasty muscle bruise that led to an addiction to painkillers. patkiners Then, when the horizon seemed darkest for both teams, triumph came. Though it was a game between the two worst teams THE MORNING BREW in the conference, Kansas mounted a miraculous comeback against Colorado for Gill's first Big 12 victory. The plucky Lions also needed a comeback to beat the lowly Campbell Park Timberwolves for their first victory. victory. These eerie similarities mean one thing: Kansas is destined to beat No. 8 Nebraska on Saturday. See, the Lions concluded season four of "Friday Night Lights" with a stunning victory at coach Taylor's former team: the West Dillon Panthers, the perennial Powerhouse. Thus, in following the script, Turner Gill and his band of courageous players will earn an emotional, last-second victory over his alma mater, where he also coached as a graduate assistant for one year. It will be beautiful and inspiring, and every member of the team will live happily ever after. And if not - well, there's always season five. BIG 12 FOOTBALL Oklahoma State climbs in rankings ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa — The only thing that's ever been close to certain in the Big 12 is that, by the end of November, either Oklahoma or Texas would emerge atop the South division. That tradition might have been tossed out the window after another wild weekend in league play. league play. The Sooners suffered their second league loss, this time to up-and-down Texas A&M. Texas continued its freefall with a loss at Kansas State that guaranteed its worst season under coach Mack Brown. All that chaos helped Oklahoma State more than anyone else. The Cowboys (8-1, 4-1 Big 12) pounded upstart Baylor 55-28 and took control of its own destiny in the South in what many thought would be a rebuilding year. Oklahoma State and Baylor (7-3, 4-2), picked to finish fifth and sixth in the division in the preseason, now own the top two spots in the South. "I always marvel. Everyone always wants to act like, just because something's been this way for however many years — Sooners coach Bob Stoops, whose team can still reach the title game if they win out, said Monday that he isn't taken aback by the parity. every year is different," Stoops said. "Some teams are stronger at different times than others, but it's always going to be that way. So, to me, it doesn't have to be surprising." Oklahoma State is one of three South schools that's never reached the Big 12 title game. along with the Bears and Texas Tech. the Bears and Texas Tech. But if the Cowboys take care of business — and that's a big if with the Sooners looming on Nov. 27 — after going 34-of-42 passing for 435 yards — both school records "It's a lot like what we had in '05 when we won the national championship." — with three touchdowns in a pasting of the Bears. Next up is a date in Austin with the Longhorns (4-5, 2-4), who have lost three straight and seemingly hit rock bottom. They'll have to try to bounce they'll be the first team besides Oklahoma or Texas to represent the division in the championship game since Texas A&M beat Kansas State in a double-overtime finale in 1998. overtime finale. Oklahoma State lost quarterback Zac Robinson, dynamic wide receiver Dez Bryant, four starting offensive linemen and nearly its entire defensive back seven after finishing 9-4 last year. But the Cowboys offense has been humming behind running back Kendall Hunter, wide receiver Justin Blackmon and quarterback Brandon Weeden, who was named the Big 12's offensive player of the week MACK BROWN Texas coach back against the league's best scoring offense, as Oklahoma State is averaging 46.3 points a game with new coordinator Dana Holgorsen at the helm. Texas Tech's win on Saturday over Missouri (7-2, 3-2) did more to clear up the North race than the South. "It's a lot like what we had in '05 when we won the national championship. They're scoring in the 40 points, they're 550 yards a game, because they can score in different ways." Brown said of the Cowboys. "They can beat you in so many different ways. I think it's the best offense I've seen in a long time." the 18-17 victory, combined with Nebraska's 31-30 overtime escape at Iowa State, gives the Huskers what amounts to a two-game lead over Missouri with three games to play. Nebraska beat the Tigers 31-17 on Oct. 30. But it also put Texas Tech one win from bowl eligibility heading into Saturday's game at Oklahoma. The Red Raiders (5-4, 3-4) gained some much-needed confidence as well, rallying from a 17-3 deficit and shutting out Missouri in the second half. "Each week in this league, it's wide open. So your players have to understand going into the game that they're going to make some mistakes, but they've got to make adjustments as they go along," Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuerville said. "We needed something good to happen for us. Wed played so close in four of our losses." The Bears will face Texas A&M (6-3, 3-2) on Saturday in a matchup that carries a lot more weight than many thought it might back in August. Both programs have played a major role in turning the South upside down this season. "I think there's a little more parity maybe than it was in the past. (Baylor) coach (Art) Briles has done a great job over there at Baylor, and their program is getting better. I hope our program is getting better as well and trying to join up with the top dogs in the conference," Texas A&M coach Mike 2. Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said, "At this point last year, to say that anybody could win the Big 12 South, I don't know if that was the case."

The Spurs, who blew a big lead Saturday before hanging on to beat Houston in overtime, had Charlotte, which was 31-10 at home last season en route to the franchise' first playoff berth, fell to 0-3 on its home floor thanks to 40 percent shooting from the field. a similar late meltdown before Ginobli bailed them out. Thomas' dunk and ensuing missed free throw was rebounded by Derrick Brown, whose layup with 26.8 seconds left cut Charlotte's deficit to 93-91. It wasn't the start owner Michael Jordan envisioned when he declared the Bobcats should be better than last season's 44-38 team that was swept by Orlando in the first round. With coach Larry Brown still trying to figure out a rotation after losing Raymond Felton and Tyson Chandler in the offseason, the BobCats continued to look disjointed on offense. After a timeout, Ginobilli drove into the paint and his ninth field goal gave San Antonio 11 wins in 13 tries against Charlotte. They also couldn't stop a relative unknown who might be on his way to becoming another Spurs surprising addition. Neal played at Towson, went undrafted and spent three seasons in Italy, Spain and Turkey. He was signed by the Spurs after playing for their summer-league team. Get Answers! Enjoy Refreshments!

Randolph was 9 of 16 from the field and led six Grizzlies in double figures. The points and rebounds were season highs for the Memphis forward, and the fifth 20-20 game in his career. OJ.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Washington athletic director gives apology for insulting Oregon fans MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE SEATTLE — Washington athletic director Scott Woodward issued an apology Monday for comments he made over the weekend concerning the University of Oregon. Woodward first said on his regular segment on the Washington football pregame show Saturday from Eugene that "it's an embassment what their academic institution is, and what's happened to 'em as far as their state funding has gone. In my mind it's a wonderful athletic facility, but they've watched it at the expense of the university go really down. "But the athletic facility is impressive. The fans at Oregon should get down on their hands and knees at night to Phil Knight and pray to him because this is an incredible facility he's built. Any of the rankings you look at, you watch how far they've (Oregon) dropped because of their state funding. "And it's a message for us, too. Our state needs to get its act together because we can't continue to progress without investment in our institution. But we're doing extremely well and we're very proud of that fact. We're a part of the whole University of Washington. That's who we are." He elaborated on those comments to The Seattle Times, saying, "It's embarrassing at the level that the state supports this once-great academic university because it's gone way down in academic standing because of the enormous lack of support over the decades. "What they have done here athletically is nothing short of a miracle. It is fabulous what they have invested and how they have done it. But it is a shame that the whole enterprise isn't benefiting (from the athletic success) and that's one thing that is very much a sense of pride at the University of Washington, that our whole enterprise is excellent in all we do." Monday, he released a statement saying: "I apologize if my comments were found as critical or insulting to fans and alumni of the University of Oregon, and I hope to offer some clarity about my true feelings on the situation. "I have a great respect for the University of Oregon both as an institution and an athletic program. As a lifelong advocate for public funding in higher education, I have seen firsthand the effects of public funding on many institutions, including the University of Washington. "My remarks were intended as a commentary on the powerful impact that a state can have on an institution's academic standing. The University of Oregon is a great example of the struggles which can accompany a university when state funding decreases, but UO is certainly not the only institution suffering." NBA Orlando Magic continue reign over Atlanta Hawks ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. — Dwight Howard had 27 points and 11 rebounds, and the Orlando Magic continue their recent reign over the Atlanta Hawks with a 93-89 victory Monday night in a rematch of last season's lopsided Eastern Conference semifinal. Vince Carter finished with 19 points and made two huge layups in the final minute-plus to seal the Magic's victory, the 11th in the last 12 meetings over Atlanta. Jason Williams also had eight points and eight rebounds to fill in for an injured Jameer Nelson. Joe Johnson had 23 points and Al Horford scored 16 for the Hawks, who have lost two games in two days after winning their first six this season. the Hawks would buckle — as they did so often against Orlando last season — they came back. Even when Josh Powell took a scary fall in the fourth quarter after being fouled hard by Howard in a midair collision, Atlanta's backup power forward refused to leave the game and tied the score at 72 with free throws. But the rematch of last season's playoff series had a decidedly different feel. Almost every time it seemed They just couldn't close it out. Carter had a running layup with a little more than a minute left to put Orlando in front by four points, but Johnson came back with a 3-pointer for Atlanta on the following position. Thev just couldn't close it out. Carter followed with his most spectacular and timely play of the young season. He used a pick-and-roll with Howard to free himself, drove down the lane and finished with a left-handed layup as he was fouled by Horford to give the Magic a 91-87 advantage and seal the victory. Carter let out a roar, flexing his muscles and KANSANCLASSIFIEDS playing to the crowd. Quite a familiar feeling for both teams housing At least this one was close HOME Orlando won those four playoff games by an average of 25.3 points in a total blowout between teams that finished second and third in the conference.

Redick penetrated into the lane for layups and Vince Carter found his shot for a pair of 3-pointers. The result was a 19-2 run between the first and second quarters that gave a the Magic a 29-25 lead, returning things to the usual script in this often one-sided series. NCAA BASKETBALL UCLA hammers NAIA's Westmont LOS ANGELES — It was a good thing the uniforms read Westmont across the front instead of, say, Western Michigan. Even a mid-major Division I team might have fully exposed the defensive breakdowns that UCLA suffered Thursday during an exhibition game against the NAIA Warriors. As it was, the Bruins' shortcomings were mostly obscured by a snapping offense that generated plenty of crowd-pleasing dunks and lavups in a 95-59 victory. That's not to say the shoddy defense escaped the attention of Ben Howland, though. The Bruins coach was particularly vexed by his team's tendency to get beat off the dribble. "As you play against better and better people," Howland said, "if we get beat off the dribble that easily, we'll be in for long days and long nights." There were plenty of theories as to why the defense struggled. Sophomore forward Reeves Nelson said it stemmed from being lackadaisical when UCLA ran off to a big lead. Sophomore forward Tyler Honeycutt said fatigue was a factor, the Bruins still working themselves into game shape. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE 8B / GAME DAY / TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Kansas is better than Emporia State. There are no debates on that one. Barring some sort of Kurt-Russell-as-Herb-Brooks-in-Miracle inspiration from the Emporia State coach, the Jayhawks should post another 30-point victory. Most, if not all, of the players on Kansas' bench could be starters at Emporia State, and that theory will be tested tonight. PLAYER TO WATCH Elijah Johnson The ultra-athletic sophomore combo guard stands to bear the brunt of the load should freshman Josh Selby not be cleared by the NCAA. He's starting to get a little more reps with the first team in practice, in case Selby is eventually ruled ineligible. There was some speculation by media members that Johnson would be a redshirt candidate this year, but that possibility was burned as soon as he stepped on the floor against Washburn. QUESTION MARK How long will it take for Kansas to put it out of reach? Will it take a full half? More? Less? There's not a question about whether the Jayhawks should throttle the Hornets. It's just a matter of by how much and when it will be out of reach. If the Jayhawks' off-stated commitment to defense shines through tonight, it will get ugly quick. If Kansas allows too many easy buckets, the Hornets will hang around longer than Kansas fans would like. COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY HEARYE, HEARYE Taylor W. L. "Same as everybody else. Just throw it at whoever. Either jersey, managers, coaches; it doesn't make a difference. When we say pass it they think if it gets out of their hands it's an accomplishment." "I feel like good teams can play defense for 25 seconds. Great teams play for 35 seconds. That's where we want to be." — Tyrel Reed on the teams half-court defense KANSAS VS. EMPORIA STATE 7 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Reed KANSAS 0-0(1-0) STARTERS Tyshawn Taylor, guard m ent — Bill Self on Josh Selby as a ball handler and distributor Taylor is as quick as they come in the Big 12, so it's a more-than-safe assumption that Emporia State hasn't dealt with anyone with his speed. Taylor stands to benefit more than most from the Jayhawks' more frenetic pace this year, as the offense may finally be catching up to him. His 12-point, three-assist, no-turnover performance a week ago was Exhibit A. Expect Exhibit B tonight. ★ ★ ★ ☆ Little Tyrel Reed, guard Morris BROOKLYN UNIVERSITY Tyrel Reed, guard Reed, coach Bill Self said, has developed into far more than a spot up shooter for the Jayhawks. He's developed enough, in my book, to take the starting spot from fellow local product Brady Morningstar. The Jayhawks will need bter than 1-for-5 from three-point range from Reed, though. He's the only returning Jayhawk who hit more than 20 threes last season. SAMANTHA RAYMOND ★★★☆★ Morris Mario Little, guard Bill Self has talked more than once about the matchup problems created by having Little and Marcus Morris on the floor together, but Little looked a little rusty last week. It's understandable that he wouldn't be in top form, though — he hadn't seen game action in over a year. If he stays cold, Brady Morningstar could easily find his way into the starting role. ★★☆☆ Marcus Morris, forward Don't expect Marcus to have another 28-point night. That would be crazy, right? Right? Maybe not. Marcus shined in his first look as the Jayhawks' featured scorer, albeit against an obviously inferior Washburn lineup. If he replicates his 28-point, 7-rebound night from a week ago, the Jayhawks could win by 30. Again. PETER WILSON ★★★★ Markieff Morris, forward Markieff will no doubt be a starter, and Self said he will match the leap that Marcus made last year. He came off the bench last game, but that was likely a side effect of his hernia surgery a couple weeks prior. Last week, Markief led the Jayhawks with eight rebounds and hit a pair of threes on his way to 12 points. If he posts that stat line every night, the Morris twins will be one of the best frontcourts in the country. Morningstar ☆ ☆ ★ ☆ SIXTH MAN The elder statesman of the Kansas team has an established role. The 6-foot-3 fifth-year senior needs to play lockdown defense, distribute and take care of the ball and hit open threes when they come to him. Last week, though, he struggled from outside, missing both of his three-point attempts and had three turnovers to two assists, a pace well off his better than 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio last season. Brady Morningstar,guard ★★★☆☆ EMPORIA STATE 0-0(1-0) STARTERS Jarvis Nichols, guard Nichols is a transfer from Northern Illinois, where he averaged 9.9 points in 27 games for the Huskies. Nichols sat out two years because of injury and is scheduled to make his first regular-season appearance for the Hornets on Friday versus West Texas A&M. ★☆☆☆ Taylor Euler,guard A. R. Euler is one of three underclassmen playing for the Hornets. Last season, Euler moved into tenth all-time in ESU freshman scoring with 180 points. He averaged 6.2 points per game while being the top returning assist getter, with 1.8 per game. Nichols Matt Boswell, guard — Tim Dwyer ★ ★ ★ ★ Matt Boswell, guard Boswell is the team's top returning rebounder from a year ago as he averaged 5.2 rebounds per game. He is also the team's top returning starter with 14 games started. Last time out, Boswell had 13 points and 13 rebounds versus Livin' the Dream. PETER LENNARD Euler ★★★★ Christian Jackson, forward Jackson is in his first season at Emporia State after transferring from Bowie State. He averaged 10 points and four rebounds per game for the Bulldogs and led the CIAA in three point shooting percentage (.485). ★★☆☆ Adam Holthaus, forward Hothaus is the Hornet's top returning scorer from a year ago. He averaged 12.5 points per game. He made nine starts last season. Roswell Boswell ★★★☆☆ A. B. MUNJIMO Jackson Michael Tyler, forward SIXTH MAN Last time out, Tyler had 16 points off the bench. This is his first season for the Hornets after he transferred from UW-Milwaukee. 100 ★★★ Holthaus KANSAS 24 ESU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Emporia State defeated Livin' the Dream 99-81 in its first exhibition game on Nov. 4. The Hornets are deep with upper-classmen: eight seniors and two juniors. This team should provide a tough, but manageable match-up with its experience. The team is very small, with Holthaus being the tallest player. PLAYER TO WATCH Christian Jackson QUESTION MARK Jackson comes to an Emporia State team that lost its five top players in games started, not to mention its leading scorer, rebounder and assist getter. Jackson is athletic and should provide a spark for the Hornet offense. Does Emporia State have a chance? With 10 upperclassmen there might be a small possibility, but in all honesty, the upset won't happen. Emporia State is 0-4 versus Kansas in exhibition games and lost the previous match-up 103-58 on Nov. 11, 2008. HEARYE, HEARYE "The game was wonderful. We did what coach asked us to do. We came out and competed" — Emporia State forward Christian Jackson in a video by Emporia State Athletics after the Hornets victory over Livin' the Dream. "I though we played well, but we took the easy way out of fensively some times; settled for some quick shots." — Emporia State head coach David Moe in a video by Emporia State Athletics after the Hornets victory over Livin' the Dream.

He said because it's a city project, the city should provide adequate funding. discussions have occurred between the new board members. The Campus Safety Agency announced Thursday that for a lighted pathway through the ghetto" was its top priority for this project. The $531,000 project, started has since faced severe funding shortages and is delayed when the Kansas Transportation turned down a $17 million City of Lawrence had applied for to help fund the project. The Campus Safety Advisory Board said it would seek additional funding from Student Senate, the City of Lawrence and third-party donors. Senate contributed $20,000 to help fund the project last year. Though the advisory board is likely to request more money from Senate, Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said he was uncomfortable with the possibility of Senate paying more than 50 percent. So far the city has contributed $110,000. However, the city awarded a $60,000 grant under the condition that it would only be used for lighting in South Park. Because it would cost $30,000 to light South Park, the advisory board hopes to free the remaining $10,000 to use elsewhere. The board may also decide to allocate a portion of its own budget for the project, said Libby Johnson, board chairwoman. Board members discussed contributing $100,000 to help fund the project last year. No similar support and the funding sources want to know that there is enough getting this done."

"I encourage them to get vaccinated in order to prevent that. I view getting the flu shot as one of the best preventative measures a student can make for his or her success." Stephen Evans, a full-time lecturer in the department of English, gives students in his classes extra credit if they get a flu shot. His reasoning, he says, is simple. However, fewer students at the University are taking this advice, which goes against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendation that everyone six months or older gets vaccinated this year. The number of KU students who have received flu shots so far at the clinics on campus is down almost 50 percent from two years ago.

GoANG.com►1-800-TO-GO-ANG KANSAS ANG AIR NATIONAL GUARD New public health school in the works EDUCATION Medical Center by the The school - which would consist of a reorganization of the preventive medicine, biostatistics, and health policy and management programs - would help fill a hole in a growing industry in both the Midwest and Kansas. The University is planning to establish a new School of Public Health that could be implemented at the University of Kansas Medical Center by July 1. both the midwest and northeast Glen Cox, director of the institute for community and public health at the Medical Center, said there are only just more than 40 schools of public health in the country and that the central region is largely underrepresented. There have been discussions about the possibility of developing such a school for decades, but the most recent effort by officials started in July 2008. Plans for the school were submitted to the Board of Regents in August, and if they gain approval from the full board in December or January, the longer official accreditation process will begin. "If you don't train individuals locally, it can set a state back, as it's very difficult to recruit from other regions in the country," Cox said. The new school would prepare students to enter both the public and private sectors in disciplines such as health management, health policymaking, and biostatistics research. High-demand careers are available in places like hospitals and insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Although much of the infrastructure and funding is already in place through existing programs, a need of between 52 and 2.5 million has been identified to recruit a dean and new faculty members. The school wants to raise that primarily through private philanthropy and grants, hoping to avoid the need for state support. The plans have been criticized by some, however, for creating a new school in the middle of state budget problems, but Cox said Kansas can't be left unprepared. "You have to have a plan and already have execution under way when the business cycle turns or you're going to be left behind," Cox said. — Stephen Gray STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN MEDIA PARTNERS f Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.

Carol Ann Zuk and photographer John Gladman work together to make a picture that's half photography, half art. A woman comes in, gets her hair done - but no makeup besides lipstick - and models for a vintage 1940s style pin-up. Then Gladman uses a computer to paint, a process that takes him at least two hours. He paints makeup on the woman, and paints the whole picture in a style that's soft and warm, just like a vintage pinup. He's been digitally painting for 15 years. Zuk said only a couple of companies nationwide used the painted effect for the vintage pinup look, and Bombshell was the only one she knew that painted makeup on. For more info: Bombshell 613 N. Second St. 913-669-3423 bombshell.info Bombshell's Facebook page FORTUNE Carol Ann Zuk and John Gladman are the owner and operators of "Bombshell." The flourishing business has grown so large that they are needing to move to a larger location and are looking to hire an accountant. "Holy crap, that's me?" she said when she saw her picture. "It made me feel a hell of a lot better about myself." That's the point at Bombshell, located at 613 N.2nd St., a photography studio that focuses on making women look beautiful regardless of size, age or anything else. Although the company uses computerized effects to make their pictures look like vintage pinups, the goal isn't to alter the woman's appearance. "That's what I hear over and over and over," co-founder Carol Ann Zuk said. "Wow, that really is me. Wand look at me." Zuk said if you ask women if they like themselves, too many say no. Speaking from personal experience, Zuk said she was never happy with herself until she was into her 40s. Chris Neal/KANSAN "I didn't think I was good enough" she said. Body dissatisfaction is especially high among college women, where 91 percent of women reportedly attempted to control their weight through dieting, according to The National Eating Disorders Association. "There's a stereotype of 'The College Woman,'" said Bailey Bosc, a senior from Mission. As soon as they get to campus, she said, women can feel like they're expected to do certain things. "You're supposed to wear this, supposed to look like this, supposed to hang around these people," she said. Often these body-images are distorted, Zuk said. "Their boyfriends like them better than they like themselves," Zuk said about a lot of college-aged women. "And they don't believe it, It's sad." Zuk said that is the reason she is trying to help the self-esteem of women by making beautiful pictures with their real bodies. "It has to start with you liking yourself," Zuk said. "You can't get healthy from an unhealthy perspective." Dozens of women — even Zuk's 87-year-old mother — have their pictures on Bombshell's Facebook page. It's apparent from the Facebook comments that Bombshell isn't a company with customers so much as a club with converts. "I was laughing the whole time I was at the studio," she said. "I was actually wondering if I'd have a good, serious picture." Sam Hamm, who graduated from the University in May, got her picture taken at Bombshell, along with her mother and her One part of the photo shoot was designed around Hamm's mother's favorite show, "Bewitched," and featured the girls riding brooms in front of a yellow moon. little sister, who is still in high school. Hamm also wanted something more provocative, so she has another picture posed in front of a bubbling bathtub with a towel netd over her chest and hands to an agape mouth, as though she's just found somebody peeking at her. "They cater to what you're comfortable with," she said. Even though some of the pictures are seductive, Zuk said the goal is to keep them within good taste. "Classy, tasty, just different — we're not what you see in the mainstream media," she said. It's obviously working. The studio opened on May 16, doesn't do advertising right now and, yet, is booked for two or three weeks in advance. Zuk said the customers were the company's best advertisements. Even Angermuller — Bombshell Girl No. 63 — took a job at the studio two weeks ago, answering calls and emails. Bombshell also takes men's pictures couple's pictures and children's pictures, all using the same digitally painted technology. - Edited by Emily McCoy 3 2 FLU (CONTINUED FROM 1A) health center has only given about 600 doses. Patricia Denning, the chief of staff at Watkins, credited the phenomenon to "flu fatigue." She said during the last few years, the general public had been very concerned about a worldwide influenza outbreak but the results had been less devastating than predicted. The influenza virus, however, is still around in Kansas. As of yesterday, there were two cases statewide, both of which affected college-aged individuals. Quinlan said it was likely that the vaccine could have prevented them. "It think more people are taking a sigh of relief and kind of letting their guard down" Denning said. "It's not like the common cold where you can push yourself through," Quinlan said. "You're truly in bed, and it's not just for a She also said that it was important for college students to get vaccinated if they didn't want to miss school or work. day. It can be three days at least and up to seven." Julian Bettoni, a junior from Costa Rica, said he gets a flu shot every year. "My dad always tells me, 'Get your flu shot,' Bettoni said. "It's like a family tradition." Bettoni said that during winter break, he planned to visit family in South Carolina and Florida, and he didn't want the flu to interfere with his holiday traveling. For those who haven't gotten a flu shot yet, Quinlan gave this advice: "Don't wait any longer, Just get it." this year's flu clinics, they could always make an appointment anytime for a vaccination at Watkins.

The film is very much a road-trip adventure with the three main characters — played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint When the first part of the two-part "Harry Potter" franchise finale reaches theaters on Nov. 19, it will do so without one of the series' signature characters. But the missing star is not a wizard, Muggle, goblin or troll, it's a place. The seventh film is the first without any notable screen time spent inside the stone corridors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the castle that has become synonymous with the magical epic. WATFORD, England — There was a break in the action — the cast and crew of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" were milling about waiting for the next set up on a summer day here in 2009 — and Daniel Raddliffe sat back in his seat and admired the life of a fugitive. "Everybody is after us," the actor said of his on-screen persona, Harry Potter, and his partners in magic. "We're to the point in the story where it's a lot of action and we're on the run. And that's brilliant." and Emma Watson — in fugitive mode and preparing for the final showdown with Lord Voldemort, portrayed with reptilian rasp by Ralph Fiennes. Ralph Fiennes. "It gives this film a very different feel to be away from Hogwarts," Heyman said. "The main characters — Harry, Ron and Hermione ters — Harry, Ron and Hermione — are on the run and, yes, they do go to some magical places, like the Ministry of Magic, but a lot of the film is set in a quite naturalistic setting, and that makes it feel very real and very human. There's plenty of magic, of course, but it's set against a very real context. Radcliffe said treading past the stony floors of the Hogwarts set in Watford energized the cast during the production of the seventh and eighth films, which were a very real context. "It feels real, gritty at times and beautiful at other times" When last we left the orphaned wizard at the end of 2009's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" he was mourning Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), who had been cut down by Severus Snape (Alan Rickman). The forces of Voldemort were ascending, and the gathering darkness was far removed from the tone and twinkle of the first films in a franchise that has pulled in more than $5.3 billion in worldwide box office. "This movie just looks different than the other ones. We've spent so much time at Hogwarts that it makes it fresh to go somewhere new on screen." The seventh film has dramatic downsides with Voldemort's cult, the Death Eaters, and a startling supernatural heist job that includes made together in a shoot that began in February 2009 and did not wrap until mid-june of this year.

But Heyman said some of the most compelling sequences are marked by emotional tension and smothering suspense. the films of (director) David Yates is that you really feel the human element," Heyman said. "There's a real truthfulness, and going out on the road with this seventh film, it makes it feel just much more real." "One thing I love about 'Conan attracts more viewers than other late-night shows TELEVISION LOS ANGELES — The good news for Conan O'Brien is that his talk-show premiere on TBS Monday night blew away all rivals in the ratings, including Jon Stewart and even the man who took his place at NBC, Jay Leno. The bad news is that O'Brien's hard work is just beginning. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNF "Conan" rounded up 4.2 million total viewers, according to early MUSIC FEST 2011 2011 ANNUAL SOLD OUT JOIN THE 2011 WAITING LIST MUSICFEST Steamboat St. Louis, LA. from $199 T&S BigSkiTrip.com data from the Nielsen Co. That soared straight past NBC's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (3.5 million) and CBS "Late Show With David Letterman" (3.4 million), both of which start at 11:35 p.m. Perhaps of more interest to late-night connoisseurs, however, was that in head-to-head competition during his hour-long time slot, "Conan" put a serious dent in the "Comedy Central" power block of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" (1.3 million) and "The Colbert Report" (1 million). Last Monday, "Daily Show" delivered 1.9 million viewers. The best news of all for TBS? The youth of the "Conan" audience, which makes it a relatively easy sell for advertisers.

A more stark illustration of the generational dynamics among the various talk shows cannot be found. shows cannot be found. The bad part for O'Brien, though, is that premiers, especially of talk shows, generally tell us very little. Most talk shows with big-name hosts attached generate very high numbers at first. Sometimes, these programs fizzle out over the ensuing months as novelty and viewer curiosity wane. That is what happened with Leno's disastrous prime-time talk show for NBC.

CONSERVATISM Opposition to reform does not equal greed A few people have labeled me "a greedy Republican" for opposing Obamacare and not wanting to help people in need. According to this popular democrat ideology, Republicans only are concerned with their money and big business. They are seen as being evil people in general. This ideology is misleading, and in my opinion, completely wrong. Seth's Scoop Now, I'm not saving that no Republicans are greedy. What I'm really saying is that the generalization is a misconception that needs to be looked at in a different light. An average American named Joe has a family with two kids. Let's pretend that Joe has started up a new business. He has worked for countless hours of every day for the past four years. Finally, he begins to see more and more profit in his company. I've already shown in previous articles that the government inefficiently handles money and turns everything it touches into debt. To pay for these government programs, Joe will have no choice but to give up his money for something he doesn't want through BY SETH ROBINSON robinson@kansan.com Another average American named Bill started his own company about 30 years ago. His business started off very similarly to Joe's. Through perseverance and very difficult work, the company was able to expand. Now, his company has locations all over the country. Naturally, Bill accumulated wealth. With increasing government programs, Bill will also have no choice but to give up his money for something he doesn't want. Now, are Joe and Bill "greedy Republicans" for not wanting to give up their money? Absolutely not. Joe wants to save up as much money as he can so he can provide for his family. He just wants to provide for his family first, and then help out others if he still can. This isn't being greedy at all. Being wealthy, Bill should surely be able to give up some of his money. Holding on to your wealth to support what's best for you is not being greedy. To be frank, I feel that the government can be greedy by taking Joe or Bill's money. These people worked very hard for it and want to keep it. Nobody should be forced to give his or her money away for anything. Instead, it should be that person's choice. Part of the engineering building where I study wouldn't be there today without the help of private donations. These donations were made by that person's choice alone for the purpose of helping educate future engineers.

Now, where do we cut the fat? Federal Budget NICHOLAS SAMBALUK GUEST COLUMN Shutting down Limewire won't stop illegal swaps It's a sad day for music lovers. A huge force in the industry has fallen. Like so many more before it, and after years of investigation, file sharing and peer-to-peer network LimeWire has been ordered to be shut down after a ruling last week by a federal judge. U. S. District Judge Kimba Wood of New York issued the permanent injunction, stating LimeWire must disable the "searching, downloading, uploading, file trading, and/or file distribution functionality" of its website. "This is an official notice that LimeWire is under a court-ordered injunction to stop distributing and supporting its file-sharing software. Downloading or sharing copyrighted content without authorization is illegal." The site must also inform its workers, investors and customers of the injunction — as well as file a progress report to Wood within 14 days to make sure all conditions are being met. The Recording Industry Association of America said in a statement the injunction "will start to unwind the massive piracy machine that LimeWire and [founder and Chairman Mark] Gorton used to enrich themselves immensely," according to The New York Times. When visiting LimeWire's homepage, I was met with the following notice. This move follows the pattern of other popular peer-to-peer sites The RIAA can make statements all it wants about how it will start to end piracy with this new injunction, but its statement is about as similar as people claiming they are going to end world hunger by sending one french fry to each starving person in the world. such as Napster, Grokster and Kazaa being sued and eventually shut down because of file sharing. LimeWire chief executive George Searle said the injunction only applied to LimeWire's file-sharing product. "Our company remains open for business," Searle explains. Sure it helps for now, but soon everyone will be starving again. When one falls, another will rise. He also says the company is deeply committed to working with the music industry. Even though LimeWire received its injunction Tuesday, that doesn't mean the case is necessarily over. — received its injunction to shut down in 2001. LimeWire formed in 2000, one year before Napster - easily the most recognized file sharing site When Kazaa was shut down, a settlement was reached at $100 million. That would buy a lot of CDs. While it’s obvious to understand why the RIAA is coming down so hard on these sites — users are effectively stealing music — it seems as if their struggle is futile. Similarly, back in the early to mid 2000s, when teenagers and housewives were being sued for ludicrous amounts of money for the handful of songs they downloaded illegally to help prove some point, it quickly ended because it became too expensive and time-consuming to handle all of those lawsuits. If the RIAA plans to bring down every single file-sharing website, it has a lot of work to do. Knowing how expensive lawsuits are, I'd be surprised if the RIAA didn't start losing more money than it made on its quest to bring down online piracy. I personally quit using LimeWire about a year ago and moved onto BitTorrent and Pirate Bay (another site dealing with legal issues). No matter how many of these sites are shut down, others will form to take their place. It's just a never-ending cycle the music industry will have to learn to understand. Besides, what was it we learned in elementary school growing up? Sharing is caring — it can be fun! -From UWIRE. Adam Arinder for The Daily Revelille at Louisiana State University. FASHION Men's fashion ideas come in handy for women, too — One man's shirt is a woman's dress Throughout history, men's wardrobes have consisted of the same types of garments. Women's fashion is always changing, but we've always seemed to steal looks from men While searching through the racks at vintage and second-hand shops, I've realized I don't find some of today's trends on the women's racks, but on the men's side. It's easy to save money while shopping for popular looks, like oversized sweaters and masculine pants, by adapting men's clothes to create a powerful and feminine wardrobe. Whenever I go to a vintage shop, my first stop is the men's button-up shirts, also known as Oxford. These shirts work for women as well, and you can usually find them in unique colors and prints. A men's small or medium can usually be worn as a women's shirt, but I prefer XL and XXL. A very oversized men's button-up, belted, can be worn as a dress when paired with leggings or tights. A belt around your waist over a men's shirt will feminize the look. The Hemline - Slacks for men, high-waisted pants for women When looking for an inexpensive pair of edgy dress pants, go to a consignment shop and try on a pair of men's slacks. A nice pair of new, high-waisted pants sell for $20 or more, but a vintage pair of men's pants sell at Goodwill or Saver's for less than $10. The dropped crotch design of men's pants makes room for women to wear around the top of their waists, and because you wear them higher, the length should be right. Make this look even edgier by finding a pair that's pleated at the top. Wear with tucked-in shirt, belt and a masculine pair of flats. — Fitted blazers and oversized Vintage blazers are difficult to find in a modern, cropped fit BY ALEX ESPOSITO aesposito@kansan.com on women or men's sides of the store. If you want a cheap blazer, look in the boy's section. Little boys' dress jackets in bigger sizes will fit your torso. The sleeves will trendily end just below your elbows or three-quarters down your arm. Complete the look by wearing this hip jacket over a men's button-up shirt and a pair of matching skinny pants and boots. Everyone should own an oversized sweater because they're stylish and cozy. For a dressier look, wear a large men's button-up cardigan with a v-neck tee and jeans. For a comfortable and warm outfit, wear a big pull-over with leggings. Like shirts, oversized sweaters can also be worn as dresses by belting them. If you're wearing a sweater or shirt with leggings, make sure it's long enough to cover your rear and front to hide embarrassing wedgies and camel toe. Finish off your menswear inspired look with some masculine accessories like a leather men's messenger bag or an oversized watch. Buy old ties and wear them as belts, headbands, or even in the traditional fashion. Vintage men's dress shoes come in interesting styles and smaller sizes can be worn by women with bigger feet. Men's accessories 1 Femenized men's fashion gives an outfit a classic, powerful look that says "I mean business but can still be sexy and stylish."

Kansas forced 20 Emporia State turnovers, which resulted in 29 points for the Jayhawks. Self isn't too hung up on sloppy play, miscues BY MIKE LAVIERI BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansanball The Jayhawks, as a team, had 12 turnovers against Washburn on Nov. 2 and 16 last night in Kansas 90-59 victory against Emporia State. Tyshawn Taylor has had a relatively clean exhibition season — just three turnovers. The rest of the team, however, hasn't. Travis Releford had only two turnovers in 23 minutes, but neither he nor Taylor are true point guards: someone this team is lacking and someone coach Self wants. "We have a whole bunch of combo guards, which is good, but I really wish somebody that would be a consistent handler back there," Self said in press conference Monday. "We got too many guys thinking that they need to be the one to make the play or make the pass to finish the play as opposed to being a ball mover" Self was happy with his team's defense, but thinks that consistency will come with repetition and playing time. Sophomore guard Travis Releford believes the defense will improve. "There's a lot of stuff we need to work on," Releford said. "It's the first two games, but it'll change." The Jayhawks fouled 17 times in both exhibition games but Self isn't worried. "Seventeen really is not a bad number for us," Self said. "If you go back to past history — we foul a lot." Self would like to keep teams under 10 fouls per half, so his team has done a good job by the way they play. He also pointed out that some of the fouls came from defending breakaway layups and offensive fouls Nine of the fouls Tuesday came from two players; junior forward Markieff Morris (four) and senior guard Mario Little (five). Markieff is projected to be a starter. Little, who failed out breakaway layups. Little isn't aggressive like he should be, according "There's a lot of stuff we need to work on.

TRAVIS RELEFORD sophomore guard to Self, and he is too little in stature to be the most physical guy on the floor. What is of concern is fouling after turning the ball over and fouling 90-feet away from the basket. "Those are the things you've got to eliminate," Self said. Edited by Clark Goble Releford PRESIDENT Morningstar M. A. HASANI Game to forget Quotes of the night If Releford did claim a starting spot, it very likely could have been Morningstar's that he took. The senior guard hit just two of seven shots and missed all three of his three-pointers from outside, two of which were wide open looks. Morningstar is still solid defensively, but his lack of offensive production, which led to reduced playing time late last season, reared its head once again Tuesday. Senior guard Brady Morningstar "Star Trek is for lames. Like, my dad watches Star Trek." P. R. SABHWAN Woolridge Releford just might have won himself a starting spot for the team's Friday opener with 12 points and three rebounds in a relatively error free performance. He has the potential to be a lockdown defender, which always has a place on a Bill Self team. If he can show that last night's 5-for-6 performance wasn't a fluke, the starting role could be his for the season. "Overall, it was just kind of a mediocre performance. Everybody just played OK.

After sitting out with a concussion, Riley got back into the game Oct. 27 and will play with the team today against Texas A & M in College Station, Texas. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Kansas has a tough game waiting for it today in Texas. The Jayhawks are in College Station for a rematch against the Texas A&M Aggies, who they topped in a five-setter in Lawrence on Sept. 18. But Kansas has never won a match at College Station. Junior setter Nicole Tate has faced the Aggies both at home and away and knows what her team is up against. up against. "It's going to be another tough game," Tate said. "We have to come out just fighting, and hopefully we end up on top." end up on top. Kansas (15-11, 6-9 Big 12) swept Colorado in Lawrence on Saturday, but has an unfavorable record (2-6) in away games. A victory against Texas A&M would move Kansas up at least one spot in the Big 12 standings. TEXAS A&M The Aggies (12-12, 6-8 Big 12) dropped a five-setter to Baylor on Saturday in Waco, Texas, snapping a three-match winning streak. Baylor outperformed A&M on offense despite a remarkable, 27-point performance by junior Kelsey Black, who leads the team with a 4.2 kills per set average. She recorded her 13th double-double of the season by adding 16 digs. of the season by Black Tate said Black was a major player for A&M. player for Alicia. "She has a really good arm swing," she said. "We have to pay attention to her a lot, when she's in the front and the back row. So that's definitely going to be a match key, is to keep her contained."

She contributed seven of the Aggies' 12 blocks on Saturday, but her team was still outdone by the Bears, who had 13. the Bears, who The Aggies, as a team, can play a well-rounded defense. Sophomore Tori Mellinger — who doubles as libero and outside hitter — contributed 20 digs on Saturday, followed by juniors Chelsea Ringel and Elise Hendrickson with 15 and 14, respectively. In addition, Aggie setter Allie Sawatzky was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week in September. in September. Tate said the Reed Arena's reputation as a difficult environment stemmed in part from Texas A&M's yell leaders, who sport overalls and buzz cuts. She said they had a repertoire of unconventional cheers with which to draw the fans into the game. game. "They're just funny to look at, that's all." Tate said. "Just another gym." KANSAS Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington continues to lead the jayhawks' offense. Garlingen is sixth in the conference, averaging 3.54 kills per set with a team-best 423 hitting percentage. On defense, freshman libero Brianne Riley returned to the starting lineup on Oct. 27, leading the team in digs in three of the past four matches. She and the Jayhawks will have their work cut out for them in the back court, as the Aggies lead the Big 12 with 1.4 aces per set. Kansas has seen outstanding production from the middle blockers. Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree scored eight kills with no errors on Saturday for an efficiency of .571 and led the team with five blocks.

He said that if the Jayhawks did that, their hitting efficiency would improve and they would have a chance to win. Edited by Dana Meredith BIG 12 FOOTBALL VAU Nebraska snaps to RB with 'Wildcat' Rex Burkhead found a silver lining in Nebraska's quarterback injury problems. The sophomore running back relived his short-lived high school quarterback glory days taking snaps in the wildcat formation against Iowa State last week. State last week. “It’s fun being back there. You kind of feel like the leader of the team at the time. I guess you could say,” Burkhead said. “It feels like playing pickup football as the quarterback. It’s fun having the ball in your hands like that.” Burkhead ran for a career high 129 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-30 overtime win over the Cyclones. About three-fourths of his 20 carries came on runs out of the wildcat, a single-wing formation with the snap going directly to a running back lined up in a shotgun position. The player then has the option to hand off, run or pass. "To be able to line up and do all that, you have to have an understanding of what you're trying to accomplish and be able to take charge," coach Bo Pelini said Tuesday. "Those are all things that are strengths of Rex. He's confident, he's a take-charge guy. I think he fits that role well." The Cornhuskers ran Burkhead out of the wildcat for the first time in last year's Holiday Bowl win over Arizona. They didn't use the formation again until the Iowa State game. Cody Green started at quarterback because of injuries to Taylor Martinez and Zac Lee. Offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said he put Burkhead in the wildcat as a way to minimize the risk of injury to Green. Martinez is expected to play against Kansas on Saturday.

Last year, his first as the starter, Gabbert had 24 touchdown passes in 13 games.

Gabbert has only 12 touchdown passes in nine games. Coach Gary Pinkel won't pin the blame for the two-week tumble on his junior quarterback, saying COLUMBIA, Mo. — It's been a tough couple of weeks for Blaine Gabbert. The Missouri quarterback insists he's fine and says support from the coaching staff has not wavered. There are a lot of variables out there and he's not perfect," Pinkel said. "You look at the stats in the NFL and there's some great players, but they aren't going to have a perfect game every week." "I think you guys are the ones that wanted me pulled," Gabbert said this week. "Everyone on my team wanted me out there and I wanted to be out there. You guys' opinions on who should get yanked really doesn't matter to us at all." Franklin also had offers from Nebraska, Oregon, Oklahoma State, TCU and Kansas State.

Again, you are so in tune here trying to get our team to play, then whatever time I have left is trying to spend time with my wife and our two daughters." - Coach Turner Gill on who he communicates with at Nebraska, a team he once played for. FACT OF THE DAY Kansas football beat the first ranked opponent it faced this season against then No.15 Georgia Tech.Nebraska is No.9 on the season. -KU Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What is the nation's longest, uninterrupted series in NCAA football? A: Kansas versus Nebraska which will have matchup No. 105 on Saturday. — KU Athletics Win offers hope for next year MORNING BREW Kansas finally won one. The stands were about halfway empty when it happened, but it was what students were talking about for the next few days. And that is a good sign for Turner Gill. Gill took a job where he was expected to win. His predecessor brought KU to the Orange Bowl. And when the guy who hired him took an early exit, it's probably safe to say that Gill was a little worried. For now Gill can take that sigh of relief. This win, even if it is against the worst team in the Big 12, should also win Gill some time. PUBLICATIONS He's also won himself a little support from the fans. When I walked to class on Monday, phrases such as "I can't believe I left" were echoing through the hallway. BY SAM ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com BELIEVING IS ACHIEVING More than anything else, this win signifies a revival of faith in Gill and his mantra that pure belief might be enough to overcome any obstacle. I know that there are even students thinking, way in the back of their minds, "Wouldn't it be great if we beat Nebraska?" Kansas into a losing spiral, this Colorado game could be the one that hurdles Kansas to success. If you listen to him and the players you can tell they believe that they can do anything, but then again, what are they supposed to say? However, crazier things have happened. THE MORNING BREW Is this Kansas' Chiefs-Broncos game, an inconsequential game toward the end of the season foreshadowing a better following fall? I think Gill and his staff would hope so. BIG BROTHER EXAMPLE If Gill has found some magic formula — and I'm not saying he has — this will be the game that turned his team around. Just as the Colorado game last year pushed Despite their tough losses this season, the Chiefs are winning games and look like they have a pretty good shot at the playoffs. No one really had faith in their abilities. I was at training camp talking to the fans and I don't think anyone expected the Chiefs' level of success. Maybe Kansas can somehow pull off that kind of turnaround. REALISM This game will not get Kansas into a bowl game. It probably won't be the beginning of any great winning streak, because they have Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Missouri lined up for the rest of the season. But it does give the team a little jolt of self-confidence. It did distract the Kansas faithful from basketball, even if it was just for 11 minutes of the football game. — Edited by Emily McCoy Syracuse recovers from last year's loss Chris Johnson led Le Moyne with 23 points and Nate Champion had nine. Kris Joseph had 12 for Syracuse, and Brandon Triche and Mookie Jones each had nine. It was the first and only exhibition game for the Dolphins, who host Queens in their regular-season opener on Saturday. Le Moyne was picked to finish 13th in the Northeast-10 Conference in the preseason coaches poll. NCAA BASKETBALL It was the second and final tuneup for the Orange, who open the season at home against Northern Iowa on Friday night, and it atoned for an embarrassing preseason loss a year ago to the Dolphins. Joseph, Southerland, and Jones each hit two from beyond the arc as Syracuse made 6 of 10. The Orange opened the second half with a 14-0 spurt. Fab Melo's block down low sent the Orange on a fast break that Triche finished with a layup and Jardine set up Joseph for a two-handed slam dunk for a 55-25 lead at 16:36. Southerland's second 3 made it 40-23 with 1:48 left as Syracuse gained a 41-25 halftime lead. After Johnson's 3 from the right corner moved Le Moyne within 27-21 with 6:57 left, Southerland swished a 3 from the left side and Jones hit another from the left corner to key a 10-0 run. ASSOCIATED PRESS SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Scoop Jardine, James Southerland and Dion Waiters each had 13 points and No. 10 Syracuse hit 11 of 16 from beyond the arc to beat Division II Le Moyne 91-48 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim started the same five as he did a week ago in the Orange's first preseason game: Jardine, Rick Jackson, Joseph, Triche, and the 7-foot Melo at center. Syracuse and Le Moyne have played six times during the regular season with the Orange winning all six at home. Following the loss, Syracuse opened the season with 13 straight victories and made it to No.1 in the Top 25 by season's end. Despite a disciplined performance by the Dolphins, who returned two starters from last season's squad that went 18-10, Syracuse assumed control with a barrage of 3-pointers in the first half. BIG 12 BASKETBALL High expectations excite KSU team MANHATTAN — This is quite a change for Kansas State, and quite welcome. Johnson, Le Moyne's leading returning scorer, hit the game-winning 3 in the closing seconds that beat the Orange 82-79 a year ago. There was no chance of anything like that happening again on this night. "We're excited. We've made progress every year we've been here," said Martin, whose Wildcats have their highest-ever preseason ranking at No. 3. "We look forward to trying to do the same this year." Do not be fooled into thinking the loss of three starters from an Elite Eight squad will necessarily signal a downturn. Along with Pullen, a high-scoring playmaker also known for his leadership, the Wildcats return 6-foot-8 Curtis Kelly, who averaged almost 12 points and seven rebounds per game last year, and highly touted 6-foot-9 sophomore Wally Judge. Right to say senior point guard Jacob Pullen is All-America timber. Right to predict Kansas State will be the best team in the Big 12. And correct in proclaiming that Frank Martin's program has turned the corner, and a onceproud basketball school has rejoined the elite. Judge's somewhat disappointing freshman season may have been due to a congenital spinal condition which was corrected in surgery over the summer. ASSOCIATED PRESS Instead of setting out to prove all the experts wrong, as they've been doing for about 20 lackluster years, these Wildcats want fervently to show they are right. Added to the mix are experienced, accomplished backups such as 6-foot-7 Jamar Samuels, and a 6-foot-10 wide-body transfer named Freddy Asprilla who will provide the inside muscle to a team that fell one win shy of last year's Final Four. Also adding to Kansas State's optimism is the apparent emergence of Rodney McGruder, a 6-foot-5 sophomore shooting guard who made all five of his 3-point attempts and scored 18 points in an exhibition game. Volleyball Texas A&M 6:30 p.m. College Station, Texas Martin insists he's not worried that great expectations will put a drag on his team. The top rung of the ladder is what he's been working toward since taking over from Bob Huggins in 2006. "It's all about winning," he said. "But the importance should be on all the things that happen before the game. The experiences, the conversations, the practice time, the preparation, the weight room sessions. Everything that takes place before the game. You either prepare to go win that game or you don't." THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS Putten has a pithy way of summing up the Wildcats. "We're built it," he said. "We're legit," he said.

WWW.KANSAN.COM PLAYING IT COOL Taylor steady in easy victory Guard known for his erratic play has shown control in exhibition BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketba! PAGE 10A Monday afternoon, Coach Bill Self wished for a lead guard Tuesday, during the Jayhawks' 90-59 scorching of the Emporia State Hornets, he may have found one in the form of junior guard Tyshawn Taylor. For the second time in the exhibition season, Taylor showed much more control than in his past two years in a Kansas uniform. BASKETBALL REWIND Full box scores and more photos inside Basketball season is under way, so be sure to stay informed on this year's young and fast team. Taylor, who was infuriating for Self and fans alike with his inconsistent play in an upand-down sophomore year, has done, so far, exactly what Self said he expected at Big 12 media days. REWIND | 6A-7A "He made some great plays." Self said. A week ago, he was the Jayhawks' second-leading scorer with 12 points and had three assists to zero turnovers. "Be up." He was impressive Tuesday night, finishing with six assists, one shy of his career high, and 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting. "He can also throw it out of bounds under no pressure, too, by being careless," Self said. Of course, with the good, comes the bad — especially in the exhibition season. Taylor had three of the lajwhaws' 15 turnovers on his otherwise excellent night. Taylor has sort of become the point guard by default since Kansas' winning player of all time, Sherron Collins, graduated last May and signed a contract with the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats. Taylor won't be the offensive force Collins was — not many players can be — but the 15.5 points per game Collins averaged last year will have to be replaced by someone. That will either be Taylor, who averaged 7.2 points per game last season, or the teammates he distributes the ball to. "Now he doesn't have Sherron to shoot on his left and his right," Markieff Morris said, "so now he's got to make better decisions with the ball." Travis Releford, who may have earned himself a greater himself a greater role with his out-of-nowhere 12-point, three-rebound performance, said he's seen a jump from Taylor, thanks in part to the two years of playing alongside Collins. Releford was on the receiving end of one of Taylor's six assists. "Tyshawn, I mean, he's learned a lot from Sherron," he said. "This is his time to step up, take control of the team." KANSAS 0 EMPORIA 21 STATE Self said Taylor was stepping into the role, filled last year by Collins, in words as much as in deeds. "He's really trying to talk and be a leader," Self said. "He's done a good job." One thing Taylor hasn't shown the ability to replicate is Collins' outside shooting. He missed both of his threes against Emporia State and has hit fewer than 34 percent of his outside shots as a Jayhawk. Collins, for comparison's sake, hit nearly 38 percent of his threes. Edited by Clark Gohl Collectively, the team is just 7-for-31 from three-point range this season. "Coach is on us about it,but we'll get better," Releford said. COMMENTARY Sophomore forward Thomas Robinson slams down a dunk early in the first half of Kansas' final exhibition game against Emporia State Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. Robinson recorded a double-in-game, with 12 points and ten rebounds, as the Jayhawks defeated the Hornets 59-16. Kansas will open their regular season Friday against Longwood at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Releford Robinson deserved their start BY NICOLAS ROESLER noesler@kansan.com The Kansas basketball team could use a little "R and R." I'm not talking about rest and relaxation; the offseason is officially over. I'm talking about Robinson and Releford. The two sophomores got their first starts of the season last night against Emporia State. They didn't let any uncertainties about Coach Bill Self's decision to start them linger. Together, they scored the team's first eight points—two of Thomas Robinson's points came off put-back dunks, which got the crowd going. "I would say any dunk by anybody would set a tone for a team," Robinson said. "A dunk is a game changer." Although both players will most likely be role players coming off the bench, Robinson looks like he will contribute more than just resting time for the Morris twins. Self has said he wants both Marcus and Markieff to be able to play 30 minutes a game, but it doesn't seem like that is possible after watching two exhibition games. Both only played 19 minutes last night. By halftime, Markieff Morris had three fouls; he then committed a needless fourth within the first two minutes of the second half. Self also said before the game that he intended to pressure more with the defense, which would force the action into the big guys more often than in years past. In the past, Cole Aldrich was usually there as a blockade for any floaters that out-of-control guards put up. Self said after the game that he liked Robinson's ability to block shots, even though he may not be able to in the same way Aldrich SEE ROESLER ON PAGE 7A Offensive coordinator impressed with Mecham's play 55 8 7 51 Jerry Wang/KANSAN Junior quarterback Quinn Mecham looks to throw in Kansas' 52-45 win against Colorado on Saturday. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long praised Mecham at Tuesday's press conference for managing the game, playing within his own abilities and making the appropriate reads. BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com After a perfect second-half performance en route to his team's stunning 52-45 upset of Colorado last Saturday, junior quarterback Quinn Mecham received ample praise from offensive coordinator Chuck Long. "He's as unflappable a quarterback as I've ever coached," Long said at Tuesday's press conference. Long has seen some great quarterbacks in his coaching career, including Heisman Trophy winner Jason White in 2004. After Mecham's two games as the Jayhawks' starting quarterback, Long notices something different with this quarterback. Mecham will get his third start on Saturday against Nebraska. "He's played within himself and managed the game as good as any guy I've been around," Long said. After throwing two interceptions in the middle of a poor first half Saturday, Mecham corrected his mistakes and was a perfect 13-13 in the second half of play. Long noted that Mecham's interceptions were physical and not "All his reads were perfect." Long said. "His interceptions were just physical errors. I always tell guys after mistakes like that, just physical mistakes, to stay with your reads and it will come right back to you." On both of Mecham's first half interceptions, he had a receiver open but was unable to get the ball to him, underthrowing his man both times. mental mistakes. Since arriving in Lawrence last winter, the biggest knock on Mecham has been his arm strength. Coaches have said that he is probably the most accurate Kansas quarterback, but he hasn't been able to make all the throws necessary, a major reason he was buried on the depth chart after spring practices.

He said that carried over to the next week. "I believe that two minute drill against Iowa State (was a turning point)," Long said. "I've seen that happen when you finish the game on a positive note and that kicks into the next week. And I believe that's where it all started for this offense." It certainly didn't carry over to the first half against Colorado, but whatever confidence the offense gained in Ames most definitely showed up in the second half, and the fourth quarter especially. The offensive confidence will have to show up this Saturday if the Jayhawks want to defeat Nebraska. The Cornhusker defense is ranked 21st in the nation in scoring defense, only giving up 19 points per game. The famed Blackshirts defense won't allow Mecham to lead another epic comeback if the Jayhawk offense fails to show up for another first half. Edited by Clark Goble 1. 2. 3.

As the U.S. prepares to welcome home thousands more with Obama's official troop recall, the spotlight has turned toward veteran services and whether or not they can provide returning troops with the care they need. The University's veteran services recently received national praise, ranking 12th overall in Military Times Edge's "Best For Vets" list. For the nearly 500 veterans who attend the University, this award showcases the progress made in the last few years alone. Below are a few of the programs offered to these veterans. WOUNDED WARRIORS What began as a pilot program in 2008 is now a permanent fixture for wounded soldiers who want to obtain a masters degree and continue their military careers. The program, a partnership between the University and the U.S. Army, provides the veterans with a full ride and covers extra costs including books. "Right now KU is the only university in the U.S. with this program" said Dawn Tallchief, an assistant director in the Office of Professional THEATER SEE GROUPS ON PAGE 3A Actors perfect original pronunciation of play BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com For the first time in North America, one of Shakespeare's plays will be heard the way it was meant to be heard bundreds of years ago. This evening, the University of Kansas department of theatre will stage the first production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the original pronunciation, or OP, of William Shakespeare's time. Only three full-length productions of this kind have ever been attempted in the modern world. "I guess people wouldn't really expect this to be happening in Kansas of all places," said Charlie Stock, a junior from Topeka. Stock is playing Snout in the play. He said he would have regretted it if he didn't try to be a part of this production. He had never taken on an accent for a role before, but he said OP was easier than he thought it would be. Paul Meier, professor of speech and dialect and an expert on many worldly dialects, said he told the cast to speak as their characters do even when out and about. He said that once they got used to it, they would realize how close it sounded to modern American English. "The biggest thing now for me is getting out of original pronunciation." Stock said, "because I'll go back to my roommates and I'll talk to them in OP" "A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" by William Shakespeare by William Shakespeare On Stage Tool in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre at Murphy Hall Nov. 11, 12, 13, 18, and 19 at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 and 21 at 2:30 p.m. Public tickets: $18 Student tickets: $10 Seating is limited He said that when audiences hear what Shakespeare might have actually sounded like, they will be pleasantly surprised with the similarities to American English. Meier partnered with world famous dialect coach David Crystal in England while on sabbatical during the summer. A self-described dialect nerd, Meier knew he wanted to embark on this project as soon as he met Crystal. "They're used to hearing Shakespeare in British accents," Meier said about audiences preconceptions of Shakespeare's works.

NATIONAL Michigan teen hangs self after harassment at school ASSOCIATED PRESS HURON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Samantha Kelly endured merciless taunting from classmates after they learned that the high school freshman had accused a senior of rape. With their key witness dead, prosecutors on Wednesday dropped criminal charges against the older student, saying they had no case without the accuser's testimony. Samantha's mother screamed at 18-year-old Joseph Tarnopolski after his brief court appearance and had to be restrained by a relative. She told reporters she was not consulted about the decision to dismiss the third-degree criminal sexual conduct charge. The weeks of harassment eventually became too much. Samantha went home from school Monday and hanged herself in this community southwest of Detroit. Samantha's accusations became known to many of her neighbors and classmates after she and her mother spoke to a local television station about the matter. Samantha's face was blocked out, "My daughter did not get any justice," June Rule said. but word of her allegations quickly spread. Principal Donovan Rowe said school officials investigated the alleged bullying and found nothing overt. Rowe said on occasion he walked behind Samantha as she went from class to class and witnessed no harassment. "People wanted to beat her up — people who were friends of loe," said Aylia Raines, who also attended Huron High School. "Not to her face. She heard from other people that they wanted to beat her up." Another student, Calie Bouchard, said 14-year-old Samantha was confronted once in the lunch room by a group of girls who insisted she was lying. Huron Township police said Justice brought her daughter to the station on Sept. 27, a day after the encounter with Tarnopolski, to file a sexual assault report. At the time it was considered a statutory rape case, meaning the pair had consensual sex but that she was under the age of consent. "She started breaking down in tears." Calle said. "Her mom had mentioned some harassment," Rowe said. "I asked her specifically if it was happening here. She said no. It was happening in the trailer park." School officials said they were blindsided by the Oct. 18 television report in which justice criticized administrators for not taking action to protect her daughter. age of consent. Justice also met with school officials and asked to keep the matter confidential, the principal said. Samantha had not been at school for about two weeks before returning Monday morning with her mother. On Wednesday, Wayne County prosecutor's spokeswoman Maria Miller said the case against Tarnopolski could not proceed "because the sole evidence ... was the complainant." After school Tuesday, Devyn Waldecker learned from Samantha's mother that her good friend was dead. Attorney Joseph Kosmala, a Detroit-area defense lawyer who was not involved in the case, said the prosecutor seemed to have no other choice. Police notified school officials Monday night about the suicide. Students were told the next day that a schoolmate had died and that counselors were available.

Duncan is majoring in English and minoring in Japanese. But that wasn't always his plan. "After dodging grenades, bullets and bombs for 16 months, I said that I think I owe it to myself to do something I want to do," Duncan said. Keith Yehle, director of government relations at the University and faculty advisor of CVA, said he's continually learning from the veterans in the group. At first, he set out to major in business. That changed after Iraq. "Every time I meet these guys," he said, "I'm impressed." the veterans have from being deployed to countries like Iraq and Afghanistan allows them to accomplish tasks in an efficient manner.

In January, he will be deployed again — this time to Africa — as part of AFRICOM, which focuses on war prevention. "That's nine years," Duncan said. "That enough." He'll be gone a year. After that, he'll be done with the military. He's done his time, he said, from starting basic training in 2003 before his senior year of high school to the end of his mission in Africa in 2012. — Edited by Michael Bednar GROUPS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Military Education, "It's a small program but it is very important as well." Wounded Warriors currently has eight people actively pursing their degrees. After graduation, the Army ensures them a job within its organization. "It's a great opportunity for veterans who aren't necessarily able to serve in a physical realm but would like to remain with the military," Tallchief said. COLLEGIATE VETERANS ASSOCIATION The Collegiate Veterans Association, or CVA, is a group of KU student veterans who are seeking to form a support group with each other while educating the student population about their experience in the military. For Andrew Foster, a senior from Wichita, CVA provided him with a group of friends he could talk to about his experience overseas. "It just helped me progress," Foster said. "Hearing what others have gone through kind of puts your own experience in perspective" "It's a nice place where we can go to study or just relax," said Kyle Brown, a senior from Toneka. The group also helped bring about a Veterans Lounge in the Burge Union. The lounge is only open to veterans and contains several computers, free printers and a flat-screen TV. As a member of the Student Veterans of America group, Brown has recently taken the initiative to help surrounding schools like Washburn and Pittsburg State University start their own CVA chapters.

Brown said. "There are more programs and opportunities available through these types of programs too." ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT Despite all of the programs the University has in place for veterans, there is still room for improvement. Mental health is one area that several veterans said could use improvement. "I had a friend who went to CAPS once and he didn't get the care he needed," said Johnathan Duncan, a senior from Newton. CAPS, or the Counseling and Psychological Services group on campus has tried to improve its mental health programs for veterans by training last spring with the Center for Deployment Psychology based out of Maryland. While it wasn't required for staff to attend, approximately 80 people attended. "We are not a comprehensive mental health agency specifically for veterans," said Pam Botts, an associate director at CAPS. "But if they can't find the help they need here we are able to refer them to services we know of within the community." Still, many CVAs would like it if CAPS could provide them the care they need on campus. "We are dealing with the highest suicide rate — it even exceeds Vietnam," Foster said. "It's important that we have services that veterans can turn to." — Edited by Tim Dwyer PLAY (CONTINUED FROM 3A) said. Crystal worked on the first OP production in the famous recreation at the Globe Theatre in London in 2004. Meier was thrilled to hear Crystal was open to working with his own production at the University. Then this year Crystal came to teach a clinic with the cast. Initially, Staniunas thought audiences wouldn't be interested in a play with OP because they wouldn't be able to understand it. For example, one of the words that Staniunas has had to work hardest on is "juice." In OP it is pronounced "nice". John Staniunas, chairman for the department of theatre, is playing Oberon, the king of the fairy world. He said he spent individual time with Crystal trying to understand what vowel changes were going to be made and what consonants were going to be dropped or emphasized. "People have very precious ideas about Shakespeare and But Crystal and Meier changed Staniunas' mind quickly. Staniuanas said once he got into the dialect, it actually came quite easily. Now, when he thinks in OP, everything seems to rhyme and come together. For example, when he thinks of the words "tongue" and "wrong," they don't rhyme in today's American English. But in OP, "tongue" changes to "tong" as to rhyme when paired with "wrong." Like much of the cast, James Teller, a junior from Pittsburg, had never done any work with such complicated dialects before this. how Shakespeare should sound." Stanianus said.

"That's my goal every day when I go to work. My goal is how to look at these worlds and these characters in a different way. Denzel's the same way." The film's other stars, Rosario Dawson and Chris Pine, see why Washington has been so willing to work with Scott. Washington trusts Scott so much that he was willing to attempt stunts on moving trains despite having a fear of heights. In one scene, Pine was suspended outside the train. — McClatchy - Tribune MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Goldblum steps away from typical role for new movie LOS ANGELES Jeff Goldblum has never been very good at sitting still. So when he was asked earlier this month to pose for a portrait, he handled the situation in his typical antsy fashion. "Let's play a game. It will be a social lubricant," he implored a room full of publicists and assistants observing his photo shoot, from which he was trying GRAND OPENING SPECIAL SALE UNTIL FEBRUARY Pedicure: $20 Fill: $13 Full Set: $20 In front of Best Buy © 31st and Iowa Telephone: (785) 856-3002 NAIL LOUNGE the onlookers approved — on the condition that Goldblum would answer such a question himself. He agreed, that is until he was asked to choose between Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton, his costars in the new film "Morning Glory." W "Well, well, I can't answer that," he smiled coyly. Darling, it's like peanut butter and chocolate who would've thought cowboy boots and sundresses would make the perfect combination. to distract himself.

"I'm more higgledy-piggledy. More flibbertigibbet," he said, sitting in the corner of a hotel restaurant after the photo session. "Not flibbertigibbet. But, um, but, um — more present-oriented." Goldblum, 57, is the kind of guy who likes to keep people on their toes — in his own life and on screen. The actor, perhaps still best known for his droll turns in the sci-fi classic "The Fly" and Steven Spielberg's "turassic Park," admits he has had no practical approach to his career. and Keaton), Barnes threats to cancel the show unless the ratings turn around. In "Morning Glory," opening Wednesday, Goldblum plays Jerry Barnes, a television network executive who hires an inexperienced producer (McAdams) to run the station's flagging morning news show, "Daybreak." When his new hire is unable to rein in the show's eccentric hosts (Harrison Ford ratings turn around. Playing the grumpy authority figure is something that's slightly out of Goldblum's wheelhouse — he's more often the comic foil, as he was this summer opposite Jason Bateman in the romantic comedy "The Switch." When asked why he found "Morning Glory" more appealing than any number of other projects sent his way, Goldblum seems to credit his collaborators. creat his contact with "The director, Roger Michell, was particularly smart, sweet, generous — you know interesting, fun, funny," he said, shrugging slightly. "And Rachel McAdams. Doing all those scenes with her. I liked that idea." In August, he announced he would leave "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" after two years. "It had sort of exhausted its interest for me. I was deliciously satisfied with my delicious experience," he said. "I now feel particularly picky. Like, I want to do something only if it's of severe interest to me." How those choices affect his reputation as an actor, Goldblum says, isn't of any concern to him. "I don't know what people think of me. What do I care?" he asked. "I don't even know what I think of myself. I like being nothing in particular."

EDITORIAL New application makes enrollment a little easier The stressful process of mapping out plans for graduation, making course schedule selections and being prepared for advising appointments, just got a lot easier thanks to a new tool that is now available on Enroll & Pay website. The new feature called My Planner was made available this semester as a way for students to map out their courses schedule for their entire four years of college. Students are now able to access the full Course Catalog, which should make the process of selecting classes a lot easier. Planning ahead is always beneficial and students should definitely take advantage of this useful tool. Deciding what classes to take right before your enrollment date and The helpful resource that is My Planner provides students with their course history, the grades they received, as well as how often and when a specific class is offered. The interactive tool also allows students to search the online course catalog by subject alphabetically and then the course titles are listed. More features will be expected after user feedback is given. Given the advantage of gathering personal course information ahead of time, there is still no excuse for students to not see their advisers. Even though you may have devised a four-year academic plan, there is still information only an adviser can provide. It is essential in fulfilling individual career goals that students seek out their advisers. We can only praise and say thank you to the Student Information System for creating such a useful tool. - Stefanie Penn for The Kansan Editorial Board. CARTOON student loans MARIAMSAIPAN MARIAM SAIFAN LETTER TO THE EDITOR Take day to thank veterans Thanksgiving is not the only holiday that we should be giving thanks on this month. Even though it is widely overlooked, unless you personally know someone who has served, Veterans Day is a holiday that everyone should recognize and give thanks. Over the past few days, I have seen an all to high number of tweets and Facebook statuses expressing the excitement of those who will be enjoying a day off of work due to Veterans Day being a government holiday. I understand there are people who may not know anyone who is in the Military or who may not have a very close relationship with someone who is serving or has served. However, those who are currently serving around the world and those who have served did not know you either, but that did not stop them from making a countless number of sacrifices for you and this country. So, I want to encourage everyone to not only thank a veteran, but to also attend some of the Veterans Day ceremonies and events on campus and even volunteer your time. There are so many ways to help and get involved and say thank you, especially during the upcoming holiday season. Showing your appreciation and support is as easy as acknowledging their service or donating your time and money to causes and organizations that benefit those who gave so much. Ashlee Brawner is a graduate student in education from Boulder, Colo. GUEST COLUMN Red on the horizon Republicans like to argue that the American people sent Washington a message last week, that the results in this one election represent a sweeping validation of conservative principles. The truth is a little messier than that; this year it wasn't just a perfect cross-section of "the American people" sending the message, it was the Republicans' dream electorate. 2010 voters were markedly older and whiter than those who came Last week national Democrats woke up to the aftermath of a Republican invasion — a Red Dawn. Democrats felt the full force of an electoral recoil four years in the making. After flipping a total of 52 House and 14 Senate seats since 2006, a huge number of Dems found themselves in vulnerable positions, running for reelection in reddish areas that never really felt like their own. Many of them confusedly bumbled from message to message, running away from their caucus's accomplishments and attempting to triangulate themselves back into Congress in a red year. Republicans, to their credit, successfully coupled popular unrest over the economy with simple, repudiating messaging to storm back this year. The result was, in President Obama's own words, a "shellacking;" the GOP recaptured the House and nearly erased the historic Democratic advantage in the Senate. to the polls in 2008. Apathetic Democratic sympathizers (I'm looking at you, students) sat home on Election Day, allowing a very different electorate to make its voice heard. By delivering a new majority in only the House and failing to recapture the Senate, the older and whiter voters who showed up to the polls gave Republicans a strange sort of blessing. Mad Republican scientists can now play around in their Congressional lab and shove through the House any wacky piece of legislation they want — and then moan about how Washington is broken when Democrats try to slow it down in the Senate. But it's becoming clear that the GOP isn't satisfied with just legislating from its current position. Republicans have made no secret that their goals are political, rather than policy-oriented. Sarah Palin says she can see 2012 from her house, and it seems like Republicans who actually have government jobs are just as fired up about pressing their political advantage. When asked just days before his party was poised to take back Congress's lower chamber, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell told The National Journal that, come January, the number one priority for the again-powerful Republican conference would have nothing to do with immigration reform, climate legislation, tax policy, or creating jobs. "The single most important thing we want to achieve," he said, "is for President Obama to be a one-term President." Several days later, the man who in January will be the Speaker of the House echoed his colleague's combative tone. A cocky Representative John Boehner told Fox News pundit Sean Hannity that "This is not a time for compromise." If you're disturbed by the idea of two of our country's most powerful legislators promising to place their responsibility to work with all parts of government secondary to their political ambitions, then you're not alone. McConnell's and Boehner's words paint a bleak post-election landscape. The tone of this past cycle eviscerated the illusion that we ever even came close to the bipartisan harmony candidate Obama preached on the campaign trail. Republicans aren't even bothering to pay lip service to the value of bipartisanship. Instead, the GOP has doubled down on its commitment to extreme non-cooperation. That promise ensures that under the new red reality, the shifting of blame and shuffling of feet in the legislative process is going to be just as hyperpolitical as it has always been. -From UWIRE, J.D. Bryant for Daily Northwestern at Northwestern University. ASSOCIATED PRESS EDITORIAL Show gratitude to peers in the service today Today, all over this country, parades will be held, speeches will be made and salutes will be given. Today, Veteran's Day, is the day set aside to thank those who have served America in the armed forces and to remember those who have died in that service. Lately, there have been more people to thank and remember. Today thousands of young men and women our age woke up in a foreign country — Afghanistan and Iraq among them — and will face numerous challenges. Some will endure uncomfortable living conditions. Some will have to choose whether or not to take a life. And some will probably,but sadly, die. Our lives will not be like that. Most of us woke up this morning in relative comfort. Most of us will not confront decisions of life and death today and that's exactly the point. That's why some of our peers are at this very moment clutching machine guns, so that we do not have to live with the anxiety of insecurity. But what we all can hopefully agree on is that the character and sacrificial attitude of those who serve, those who are willing to be killed for us, deserve our appreciation. There are genuine debates to be had about whether the decisions made by the leadership of this country and carried out by the military over the last nine years — and in every era — have helped or harmed American interest and whether some of these actions have actually made our nation more secure and free. So when we're afforded an opportunity,like today,to express our gratitude,we should take it. -Jonathan Shorman for the Kansan Editorial Board Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com Chatterbox — "Jessed" in response to "Oral contraceptives harmful to women" on Nov. 10. "Tricia - Thank you for being brave enough to write this letter. It is not a message that many people want to hear and I'm sure you knew the backlash that would follow.

The Justice Department announced Wednesday it examined university policies for handling such complaints after receiving a report of discrimination by a student organization. A department spokeswoman did not specify which organization or the specific nature of the complaint and refused further comment. The university did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. Under the 13-page agreement. the university will hire an outside consultant to help revise its policies in time for the start next year's fall semester. Administrators, faculty and students will then be trained in the new policies during the 2012 spring semester. The agreement signed Monday by Thomas Stepp, the secretary of the university's board of trustees, said a consultant will review all written university policies including those dealing with student organizations and filing of student grievances. Within six months, the consultant will prepare a report for approval by the university and the Justice Department with new policies for harassment, discrimination and complaint resolution. The subsequent training, among other things, will include reviews of both state and federal laws and the responsibility of students, faculty and staff when they see discriminatory or harassing behavior. The agreement requires the university to file compliance reports with the Justice Department twice a year through the end of 2013. It also gives the department the authority to evaluate compliance through site visits and interviews with students and most employees. students to take an Assistant U.S. Attorney General Thomas Perez praised the university for entering into the agreement and said students must have equal access to educational opportunities.

The Dallas Cowboys fired Wade Phillips, and the Colorado Buffaloes fired Dan Hawkins. Both of these teams were having visible trouble and one more loss was all they needed to boot their coach. Though the decision about Phillips has been highly regarded by fans and sports reporters as a good choice, the team maintains that it came as a complete shock to them. Sometimes there is an unsung relationship of trust between players and coaches that the public is not privy to. Coaches serve as mentors, father figures and even friends. From the day these athletes are signed to play at their school of choice or are drafted to a professional team, they have tangible evidence of their worth as a player through that coach's eyes. Sports are about opportunity and for many athletes, moving on to BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com TOMMY LANDIS that next level is not only praiseworthy, but can create a new life for them. None of this would be possible however without coaches, and I think that is where the focus is lost. Even if a team is not as successful as it could be, it is not always the coach's fault. In both the situations with Dallas and Colorado, the team records were not holding up with dismal performance throughout the season so far. While some of this can be pinned on the coaches for bad strategies, that is not the only element to a team's losses. This week on the hit show "Glee," the high school's football coach was put in an embarrassing position where she was being mocked and trash talked in the hallways. At one point she says, "I'm the coach. If the students here don't respect me then I can't do my job." This quote intrigued me. The team is having a bad year and they have acknowledged that, but does everything reflect on Turner Gill? Simply put, no. As a coach in his first year at a new school, it cannot be expected that he will go undefeated and win a bowl game. I think most people hoped that the team would win more games, but the fact is that the Jayhawks have not. One of those factors is that Gill has not Many fans are quick to blame a coach when things go wrong, but can that criticism affect a coach's ability to preform at his job? This is one of the saddest things I see here at Kansas. had time to build those important relationships with the players that dictate the success of some programs. Though Kansas has talented athletes, none of them were recruited by him, which to me is a vital part of the trusting relationship between athlete and coach. Another factor is that Kansas lost three players to professional football — Kerry Meier, Dezmon Briscoe and Darrrell Stuckey — as well as its all-time leading passer Todd Reesing. They were key players in victories in previous years. Kansas has Gill under contract for four more years. If he is given that time to be accepted into the program he will gain leeway with the athletes and eventually the students and fans. Kansas football will rise again and I still believe Gill can get us there. — Edited by David Cawton 2B / SPORTS / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "My knowledge of the game is way higher than it was when I was a freshman."

The proposed change to the D The proposed change to the All-Star game, while it would be interesting, is downright awful. I beg of you to please put an end to the planned amendments to the game immediately, and just let the boys play on their respected conference teams. JASON BROOKS Blake Schuster For those reading who have no idea what I'm talking about, allow me to fill you in. A proposed change to the NHL All-Star game would have two captains, in a live draft, selecting teams during All-Star weekend. No longer would there be conferences playing each other, but merely a pickup game between professionals. According to TSN.com, the NHL and NHLPA are expected to approve the changes within the next few days. within the next few days. The format would have the selected All-Star Game participants vote on the two captains. The chosen captains would then choose the teams, during All-Star weekend before the Super-Skills night. Fans will still get to vote on the starting lineup of each team. The approval of the changes would have this year's All-Star game, adhering to the new rules. Is this really what low TV ratings have done to the NHL? Why not just have all of the players throw their sticks in a pile at center ice and have the captains draw sticks for teams? And better yet, let's play the game outside on a pond in north Canada. That's sure to get ratings right? Or we could just keep the same format that has been in BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com place for years, and avoid mounds of fan confusion that could possibly have a backfire effect, and end up losing more viewers. fire effects and more. It's a great idea, NHL, but let's slow down a bit, and avoid some confusion. If its viewers you're after, make the All-Star game worth watching. Since the NHL clearly wants a change, why not revert back to the original form of the All-Star game? Have the defending Stanley Cup champions play a team of NHI. All-Stars. The only foreseeable problem with that change would be that teams, such as the Chicago Blackhawks, have had to give up half of the players, by trades or free agency, to make the league's salary cap for the next season, rendering the team different from the team that won the Cup. Fortunately there is no salary cap on the All-Star teams, ergo, put the cup team back together. the cup team back to the Blackhawks example, back going to the Blackhawks example, this would mean that Byfuglien, Versteeg, Ladd, and the rest of the 2010 Stanley Cup champions would play again with the team- mates they won the cup with, regardless of what team they are with now. review now. The All-Star Game does not determine playoff home ice advantage. It is simply just a time to go have fun playing hockey and embrace the fact that the selected player is in fact an All-Star. There is no need for a change, but I guess input from fans (who will be watching the game) won't stop that from happening now will it? Yes, there could be other problems with my renovations to the game, but there will also be problems with the format under review now. THE MORNING BREW Personally, I don't want to watch Crosby and Ovechkin抓住 their own All-Star team, let alone draft it. There is enough Pens/Caps' publicity to last both of Crosby and Ovi's lifetime. They need not add another game dedicated to their rivalry. They already have the winter classic this year, and don't get me started on that game.

However, the aim for the Kansas football team this week is to somehow transfer the energy from the 28-point comeback against Colorado to the first quarter of the Nebraska game. He said that he is reaffirming their belief in themselves by doing so. They have seen themselves perform at a high level, and not only play with intensity, but execute with intensity play after play. Now they have to continue that in a hostile environment. Freshman cornerback Tyler Patmon recovers a Colorado fumble before returning for a 28-yard touchdown. Kansas scored 35 points in the fourth quarter, the most scored in a quarter in school history. Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, holds a deafening 86,000 fans. That is more than every city in Nebraska except Omaha and Lincoln. Despite the thunderous reputation of Memorial Stadium, starting quarterback Quinn Mecham's mind is focused on other things. "You can't get going and psych yourself out because then you're done from the start." Mecham said. Mecham, a junior college transfer, hasn't played in many environments like the "Sea of Red" in Lincoln. Mecham said the loudest stadium he had played in before coming to Kansas was the Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah, which holds a whopping 44,500 people, basically half of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. But Mecham has kept his mind off that. And that level head is one reason why Gill has named Mecham the starting quarterback for the rest of the year. Jerry Wang/KANSAN "His poise has been very high," Gill said. "He has been able to execute our offense. He has made one or two mistakes in that aspect, but I really like the way that our players have responded (to him)." It might be more difficult to execute the offense this week against a defense that only allows 19 points per game. On the other side of the ball, Kansas has allowed almost 15 more points per game by opponents. Players are confident in the game plan the coaches have implemented this week to slow down a potential Heisman candidate, quarterback Taylor Martinez. Acting as Martinez on the practice squad this week is junior wide receiver Rod Harris Jr. Put there because of his speed, not because of his arm, he has noticed how quick the starting defense has been able to understand the Nebraska offense. "It's like they just picked up on it," Harris said, "I don't think I broke past the line of scrimmage too many times." Defending against the sixth-best running team in the country will be a challenge. A key to the game for Gill is to protect the ball in order to keep it away from the Nebraska offense. Excluding the offense's explosion of the fourth quarter against Colorado, Kansas football ranks 102 in scoring offense. Mecham said part of the low scoring average is due to the slow starts Kansas has had, but he hopes the powerful ending of the Colorado game will lead to a powerful start this Saturday. "I think it is energy that we can use to go out and start fast for once." Mecham said.

Ky; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Wake County, N.C.; and Worcester, Mass. The school districts are Chicago; Clark County, Nev.; Columbus, Ohio; Deer Valley, Ariz.; Henry County, Ga.; Houston; Irvine, Calif; New York City; Oldham County. Determining whether Title IX violations exist is more complicated than looking at raw numbers because the statute can be satisfied in one of three ways: if the percentage of athletes who are girls is about the same as the student body; if the school has continually expanded opportunities for girls; or if the school meets its female students' interest in participating in sports. NWLC officials say they believe statistics from 2006 indicate the districts violated Title IX, the federal law prohibiting gender discrimination in federally funded education programs. The U.S.Department of "There are equal opportunities for girls to participate in our school district and it is something that is really important to us," said Irvine's Cassie Parham, assistant superintendent and a former athlete.

Almond is playing in his rookie season for the Thunder after being drafted 11th overall in the 2010 NBA Draft. KANSAS 45 NEBR 34 Then junior center Cole Aldrich pulls down a rebound against Nebraska. Aldrich is the ninth all-time leading rebounder at Kansas. ALDRICH (CONTINUED FROM 1B) said. "You don't have class, so basically you just go to work three, four hours a day, and you go home and just hang out or do whatever you want to do." His home life, he said, has been made easier by a few years at Kansas. "My three years at KU were the years you learn to do so many things," he said. "Not only your laundry, your cooking, your cleaning and all that, but just you learn so much about yourself and your friends around you." Aldrich said he still has "like 12 or 15" hours to finish up before getting his degree from Kansas, but that it's something that is a must for him. He's not taking any class this semester, with trying to settle into the NBA game and his role with the Thunder, but he'd like to get it out of the way before too long. "I've pondered about going back to Lawrence for the summer and taking class and working out with the guys," he said. "But that's a long ways away." Step one is getting his first paycheck. Former Kansas player and current Thunder teammate Nick Collison said Aldrich should get it soon — sometime in November. But Aldrich has already found a place to live — incidentally a few blocks from where Bill Self grew up and went to high school in Edmond, Okla., about 15 minutes away from the Ford Center. "I'm renting a place here up in Edmond. It's by coach's statue." Aldrich said with his trademark toothless smile. "I texted coach and he just starts laughing." Aldrich's life is made a little easier by another tie to the Jayhawks: the presence of Collison, a seven-year veteran who might as well have been custom-built as a mentor for Aldrich. "It's really helpful. Not only a guy from KU, but just a positive guy," Aldrich said. "He's out to help everybody, no matter if it's me or anybody else on the team, he's really there for them." - Convenient stops @ the Oread & Eldridge - Starting at $36 per way against Garnett, who he idolized as a Minnesota youth while Garnett was a perennial MVP candidate for the Timberwolves. helps when it comes to the locker room smack talk, Collison joked, especially with two Longhorns — NBA scoring champ Kevin Durant and Thunder newcomer Royal Ivey — on the roster. With power forward Jeff Green out with a sprained ankle, Aldrich played a career-high 14 minutes against the Celtics, most of them in man defense against his boyhood idol. Cole's poster. Collison said having Aldrich, who was a fan favorite at Kansas with his goofy, fun-loving personality, has been "a breath of fresh air." "We usually bet and then I always win". Collison said. "That's been pretty standard the last few years. Now we've got Royal, so that'll be some extra money in mine and Cole's pocket." “It's pretty cool. It is,” Aldrich said. “There's a number of guys that when I was young and I was watching games that you see on the court and it's like 'Wow, I remember you when I was in eighth grade.'” Parkway Shuttle "the easy connection to KCI" ***Mention this ad and get $7 off 1st round trip Aldrich didn't score in the game, but pulled down four rebounds and played solid defense as part of an effort that held Garnett to a season-low eight points on just 3-of-10 shooting. "We go grab dinner once in a while and we talk about the old days when we were at KU," he said with a laugh. He said the relationship with Collison has helped him ease into life as an NBA rookie.

"But Cole's different from everybody else." that the lack of offensive production doesn't bother him with Aldrich, who is averaging one point and 2.2 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game. WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND All that locker room chatter came before the Thunder faced off with Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics on Sunday night. Aldrich said it was a little surreal to go up It fits the bill for why Oklahoma City grabbed Aldrich on draft day. No one expected Aldrich to be an offensive force in the NBA, especially early. Defense and rebounding have always been his forte. "I need a physical presence, a screen-setter and a ball-mover and he's able to do that," Brooks said in an interview with the Thunder's official website. "The minutes, I don't look at point production. I look at how the minutes are played. Is he setting screens, is he running the offense, is he getting back on defense?" "I'm not going to try to go in and do spectacular things, only the things that I'm good at," Aldrich said after being drafted in June. "I'm good at rebounding and defending and blocking shots and that's how I'm going to make my presence on the court early is doing those things." For Reservations, Call: 1-877-806-7229 Collison said that Aldrich has been a quick study in the NBA game. "Hes' doing a great job. He's smart. He picks up the stuff. He's got a good feel of how to play and where to be," Collison said. "But it's a huge adjustment. He'll have days that don't go well, and days that'll go really well." So far, Aldrich said, there have been a lot of the days that go well. He said he's happy with the pace he's moving at in the transition from college to the NBA. But he's got some work to do to become an NBA veteran like Garnett, his childhood idol. "You just hope to be one of the guys that can stay in the league for that long," he said, "and you can make a name for yourself." Get Answers! Enjoy Refreshments! Win Prizes!

Taylor was one of five Jayhawks to score in double digits with 10 points and led the team with six assists. Jerry Wang/KANSAN MEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks show balance in win BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri.kansan.com twitter.com/kansanball A weight may have been lifted off of junior forward Marcus Morris' shoulders Tuesday night in Kansas' 90-59 victory over Emporia State. With Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry in the NBA, the layhawks lost about 50 percent of their scoring. Morris is the layhawks' top-returning scorer, scoring 12.8 points per game, and is expected to carry most of the offensive load this season. Tuesday night was different The layhawks had five players, including Morris, in double figures. Morris has received a lot of national media attention this season and has been named one of, if not the, key player for the Jayhawks this season. In Tuesday night's game, Morris came off the bench and scored 12 points (13.3 percent of the Jayhawks points for those playing at home) in 19 minutes. A week before, he had 28 points in 22 minutes on Nov. 2 in Kansas' 92-62 win over Washburn. In that game, Morris contributed over 30 percent of the Jayhawks points. In the Washburn game only two other players, juniors Markieff Morris (12 points) and Tyshawn Taylor (12 points), had double figure points. The scoring was more balanced against Emporia State, with Markieff leading the way with 14 points. The starting lineup on Tuesday was smaller than usual since Emporia State's tallest player is 6-foot-7. "Coach wanted to see if bigger guys could guard at different positions so he threw guys like Mario (Little) and Marcus (Morris) at the three to see if they could guard out there," Markleff said. seit has full confidence in the five guys that are on the floor, no matter if it's the top five or the rest of the rotation. "It doesn't make a difference who out there, the positions are interchangeable," Self said. If Tuesday was any indication, media comparisons to the 2007- 2008 National Championship team may be true. Self said the team isn't getting the production out of some of the players that he thinks they are capable of performing. Most of the comparisons deal with the athleticism of both teams, but the National Championship team also didn't have a go-to scorer. The scoring was balanced with four players — Brandon Rush (13.3 points per game), Mario Chalmers (12.8), Darrell Arthur (12.8) and Darnell Jackson (11.2) — scoring in double figures per game along with Sherron Collins scoring 9.3 points per game off the bench. Rush and Chalmers were most likely to make a play when the jayhawks needed it, as Marcus will be this year, but they weren't the lone options. With the development of Markieff and Taylor, in particuiar, Marcus may not be either. Edited by Tim Dwyer WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks sign five recruits for next year The Kansas women's basketball team announced the signing of five players for next season. The signing class was comprised of three Texas natives: guard Donielle Breaux from Missouri City, forward Chelsea Gardner from DeSoto and forward Catherine "Bunny" Williams from Duncanville.

In his final title defense of a forgettable year, Woods opened the Australian Masters with a 2-under 69 and was four shots behind the early leaders Thursday at Victoria Golf Club. Woods missed only two greens in regulation, both times saving par from a bunker. But he took 19 putts on his outward nine, and had to hole a 7-foot par putt on the final hole to avoid his second three-putt bogey. Ogey. Alistair Presnell and Adam Bland each at 6 a-under 65, one shot clear of a group that included PGA Tour winner Andre Stolz. Geoff Ogilvy, who was a member at Victoria as a teenager, opened with a 72. "That was probably the highest score I could have shot," Woods said. "I gave myself a lot of looks early. I just didn't kept leaving them short. The only bogey I had was a three-putt." Woods hit driver only on the par 5s, opting to play for position with a 2-iron and occasional 3-wood as he did a year ago at Kingston Heath when he won for the first time Down Under. Woods captured his 82nd title worldwide last year, and finished off another strong season with seven wins. completion of a year that cost him his marriage and his golf game, rather it was a tournament he was trying to win. Twelve days later, he was in a car accident outside his Florida home that led to revelations of infidelity. "That was probably the highest score I could have shot" Even after a perplexing round on the greens, he felt he was on track. Woods has said he's not looking at his trip to Melbourne as the "I could have easily been 4, 5, or under," Woods said. "I don't know the guys are going to do this afternoon, but I'm right there."

VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Jayhawks five points before Texas A&M scored. Kansas expanded on its lead with kills by Garlington, junior setter Nicole Tate and senior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser; a block by freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and Kaiser; and an ace from sophomore defensive specialist Morgan Boub. A tough Kansas defense kept Texas A&M's offense from succeeding. Kansas wrapped up the first set 25-14 with a block by Jarmoc and a kill by Kaiser. The second set began with an ace from Tate and stayed close until it was tilt at 5-5. From there, Texas A&M gained a commanding lead behind a series of attack errors by Kansas. Meanwhile, Texas A&M junior outside hitter Kelsey Black continued to hammer shots onto the Kansas side, scoring six kills in the set, and freshman settler Allie Sawatzky contributed occasional surprise attacks to drive up the Aggies' lead until they took the set at 17-25. Aggie sophomore middle blocker Alisia Kastmo came alive in the third set, combining with Sawatzky to keep the first half of the third set close. Kastmo scored three kills in a row, tying the score at 11-11, but the Jayhawks found a place to score in the middle of the court. Jarmoc and Kaiser had a four-point run, giving the Jayhawks the lead. Despite a late offensive effort by Aggie junior outside hitter Chelsea Ringel, the Jayhawks won the set with a score of 25-20. Kansas outside hitters Garlington, Kaiser and Mayfield continued to have success in the fourth set, keeping the game close while Texas A&M's top offensive players also saw success. Riley had been digging furiously throughout the match and closed in on a career record as the Aggies' offense closed in at the end of the set. Texas A&M ended the set 25-22 with a block, an ace and two kills, and tying the match 2-2. The fifth set was rough, with both teams taking big swings and not always hitting the mark. Clutch shots by Mayfield, Tolefree and Garlington helped clinch the Jayhawk victory in a set that was tied as late as 12-12. Toward the end of the game, the Aggies had several error checks before Mayfield closed it out with a kill. Mayfield closed it in. Coach Ray Bechard said he couldn't single out any player as making the difference, but that the win was due to plays by various players. He said it was a hard fought match. "We got off to a great start, and then they got back on us pretty hard in game two," Bechard said. "And then it was kind of a dog fight from there. But we played well at the end and had a lot of really gutty individual performances." The win at College Station improves Kansas' record to 16-11 overall, 7-9 Big 12. The Jayhawks return to Lawrence on Saturday for a rematch with Baylor. In their last meeting, the Jayhawks defeated the Baylor Bears in four sets at Waco, Texas.

Audit finds School of Business to be mostly consistent in course fee usage BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Of the $30 million the School of Business has raised since 2004 from course fees, a third-party accounting firm reported that the school spent 99.8 percent appropriately. The report "confirms that we have used those funds for the benefit of our students and the advancement of the programs in our school," said William Fuerst, dean of the School of Business. The report addresses concerns from several MBA students who lodged complaints with the Kansas Board of Regents this summer. The findings are from an audit by BKD LLC, the same accounting firm that investigated the Athletics Department ticket scandal. Some of the MBA students also called for Fuerst to be fired. He announced Sept. 22 that he would step down after the academic year, but a school spokesperson told The University Daily Kansan that his resignation wasn't related to those demands. BKD LLC's audit found that 0.2 percent, or about $60,000, of the $30 million in spending was inconsistent with the original fee proposal. BKD reported that almost $28,000 in payroll to some professors over the summer of 2005 was inconsistent with the fee proposal. The audit also found that the school used more than $24,000 of course fees inappropriately to pay for fees related to accreditation and membership in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The school instituted the course fees in 2004, and the tuition proposal for it specified where the money could be used. The proposal established a student advisory committee, responsible for overseeing how the course fees were spent. But the committee was disbanded by 2006, perhaps the students' biggest complaint. Provost Jeffrey Vitter called dis- banding the committee "an oversight," and said that keeping the committee might have prevented conflict. Course fees, also called differential tuition rates, represent about 40 percent of the school's budget. On top of normal tuition, business students paid an extra $102 per credit hour in course fees this semester, and master's business students paid an extra $187 per hour. The committee was re-established Oct. 21 and agreed to meet again to discuss the findings of this review. "Could we have avoided the controversy by having a mechanism in place?" Vitter said. "I think the answer is yes." BKDS report, released Thursday, includes an appendix accounting for just under $30 million, listed by year and broken down into 17 categories of spending. Vitter said the committee will receive reports on expenditures and planned expenditures in the future. "If this doesn't answer the issues of critics, then that's their issue," Vitter said. "I don't think anything Although BKD found that the school spent nearly all of the fee money appropriately, the report also said the fee proposal was wague in places and that "there could be differences of opinion" about whether an expenditure conflicted with the fee proposal. will ever answer their issue." In a response letter at the end of the report, Fuerst said the school will review what BKD identified as inappropriate spending with the student advisory committee. The provost's office contracted BKD to perform the audit, which cost an estimated $50,000 and was overseen by a committee of students, faculty and staff. The provost's office paid for the audit with private donations.

ADMINISTRATION Audit finds School of Business to be mostly consistent in course fee usage BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com The report addresses concerns from several MBA students who lodged complaints with the Kansas Board of Regents this summer. The findings are from an audit by BKD LLC, the same accounting firm that investigated the Athletics Department ticket scandal. Of the $30 million the School of Business has raised since 2004 from course fees, a third-party accounting firm reported that the school spent 99.8 percent appropriately. The report "confirms that we have used those funds for the benefit of our students and the advancement of the programs in our school," said William Fuerst, dean of the School of Business. Some of the MBA students also called for Fuerst to be fired. He announced Sept. 22 that he would step down after the academic year, but a school spokesperson told The University Daily Kansan that he BKD LLC's audit found that 0.2 percent, or about $60,000, of the $30 million in spending was inconsistent with the original fee proposal.

I planned my ownool. The window that I had so carefully lifted back up into its rightful position fell back down. I broke it. I broke my window and had to drive another hour and a half home in lovely 105 degree Kansas heat to my father's rage. I knew of only one thing that would, at least for the moment, remedy the situation: Duct tape, the true fix-all — an arguably magical material that had served me well in the past. and I gladly accepted it.Maybe my dad wouldn't even notice the leafy pattern that would soon be covering my back passenger side window. ANNA ARCHIBALD ASSOCIATE EDITOR I stopped at the first store I saw and hoped they would be able to help me out. When I asked if they had any tape, I was directed to a remote corner of the store. The clerk dangled a roll of camouflage duct tape in front of me — because, naturally, that's the only color the sporting goods store carried The challenging part was actually fixing the window. It took me a few tries, but being the seasoned mechanic that I am, I managed My dad wasn't thrilled with my solution, but the residue eventually came off and the camo really did look quite nice against the forest green finish on my car. to get the window back into place, rip off a few pieces of tape and trick it into staying up. The best part: I had A/C the entire way home. And let's be honest, just about everyone has used duct tape for one reason or another. Remember those dirty, sticky, duct tape wallets guys carried in high school? Or what about the stories of kids making prom dresses from the "alternative" fabric? I know I made an incredibly innovative, albeit immobile, vest from a combination of yellow and purple tape for spirit week in high school. I even made a matching headband with a bow. So, carrying around a roll of duct tape for accessorizing or repairing just about anything may not be such a bad idea. Moral of the story: it's not a myth that duct tape is the ultimate solution. And it amazingly comes in about every color imaginable, making it possible for me to not only fix my car, but also binders, shoes, books, computers and all other items that make life possible. For more on the magic of duct tape, check out Brenna's article on page 11.

THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY. KANSAS IN HEAT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP. Q. A couple weeks ago you talked about what music can get someone in the mood, but what about movies? I know that pornos might do the trick, but I feel like that might be a little too blatant. A. My best advice would be to keep it light watch something that will create a positive atmosphere, like a comedy. Now is not the time to break out Schindler's List or Sophie's Choice. Both sexes love to laugh, and I've always thought laughter is a huge turn-on and aphrodisiac. You also want a movie with a predictable plot. You don't want a thriller where she is dying to figure out what happens next. Then her attention will be completely focused on the television instead of you. You want to pick a light movie that she has seen before, and one she views positively. You want her to associate the positive feelings she has with the movie with yourself. That will help put anyone in the mood. Some movies should definitely not be playing while you're making a move. Avoid anything starring Pauly Shore, David Spade, or anyone that uses fart jokes. Avoid any movie that a basketball team would watch on a bus. Avoid movies with excessive guns, explosions, or male nudity — you don't want to compare yourself to anyone on the big screen. And if all else fails and you have no idea what to watch, have The English Patient playing in the background. I understand that it goes against several of the rules I have mentioned, but it is mood-setting gold. It is like skydiving with eight extra parachutes — it is safe and will slow things down. With all that being said I don't think that what movie you watch will determine all that much. In fact, if you are looking to turn someone on I'd err on the side of music over television or movies. I've never heard any girl say how turned on she was because, "she/he had ___ on the television." MIKE ANDERSON It seems to me that what movie you have on can hurt your chances at seduction more than it can help. But every girl is different in that regard. Some might be really turned on by what you are watching when they walk in the door. That is something you will have to find out with your current romantic acquaintance.

CONTACT HOW WE MET // KATIE POPE & ROBERT DEMAREE ❤ > All great relationships had to start somewhere. Robert Demaree asked out Katie Pope, now his girlfriend of more than three years, at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Demaree, Gardner junior, drove to Texas to give Pope a back back to Kansas before school began in August 2007. The couple developed a friendship when they met during the fall of 2006. Demaree's cousin, and also Poon's friend, made the introduction. But Pope was in a relationship at the time. Pope and Demaree became good friends in the following months. KANSAS HAWKS Contributed photo Contributed photo Going the distance; Robert Demaree drove hundreds of miles to Texas and began a romantic relationship with Katie Pope, who was a friend at the time. Pope spent the summer of 2007 in Texas, while Demaree was in Kansas. Pope, Bradenton, Fla. senior, says she knew things would work out between the two when he drove down to Texas for her just two days after breaking his hand. "I thought that was the sweetest thing." Pope says. Pope, who is more than a foot shorter than Demaree, says no one expected the two to end up together. The fact that they are complete opposites is why they are great for each other, says Demi Frakes, a JCCC student who has known the couple for five years. Pope is calm and collected, while Demaree is a smart ass, Frakes says. The couple enjoys taking road trips, and travelling across the country during holidays and school vacations. BECCA HARSCH CATCH OF THE WEEK // HANNAH VILLA > Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea HOMETOWN: Boulder, Colo. MAJOR: Art History INTERESTED IN: Men YEAR: Junior INTERESTS: I love to surround myself with my family and good friends. I practice yoga avidly, and going to the Merc is one of favorite things to do in Lawrence. I love to spend entire days at any art museum. I can't live without my Kindle (e-book reader), coffee or Dave Matthews. I also love to watch old classic movies in black and white. I love to decorate and scrapbook. I'm also obsessed with painting my nails. NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL NOTICES FIRST IN A TUITURE PARTNER: Eye contact is crucial. I also notice teeth and hands for good signs of hygiene. And he can't look as if he got dressed in the dark. TURN-ONS: A guy has to have a good relationship with his family and friends and he should love to laugh as much as I do. I want someone who is motivated, but also likes to play hooky once in a while. I like someone who is respectful and opens doors like a gentleman. And finally, good hygiene is a must. TURN-OFFS: The biggest turn-off for me is a guy who is more concerned with himself than others. I really don't like smokers or bad teeth either. WHY I'M A CATCH: I'm super fun, outgoing and spontaneous. I like to have fun but I also know when it's time to get serious. I try to find humor in everything. I love to laugh and I'm very passionate about things I believe in. BECCA HARSCH $1 COFFEE EVERYDAY $1 COFFEE EVERYDAY Coffee & Spirits THE BOURGEOIS PIG Lawrence, Kansas 6 E. 9TH ST.

Bridget says she became an OkCupid user because she doesn't have a lot of time to meet people. Unline and mobile dating provide fun, innovative ways for students to meet other singles in their area. Mobile dating, a $550 million industry, is the biggest growth market for college students and is increasing at an average rate of 20 percent, says Julie Spira, cyber-dating expert and author of The Perils of Cyber-Dating; Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online.

Brin also has a profile on the site, which allows parents to search for potential matches for their son or daughter. Brin says using the internet can only increase your odds of meeting someone. Students use the internet to make social arrangements, so why not use it to find a potential match? "If you inherently believe those things can be done over the Internet, I don't see why you would exclude dating from that pool," Brin says. Spirasaysmobiledatingisaboutconvenience, and can be an efficient way to meet someone. Students who need to dedicate more time to their love lives can do so by using their computers and smartphones."They need to take advantage of the fact that their computers are already on and in their laps," Spira says. Though you might think these ways of meeting someone are more time-consuming, they may in fact, take less time. By dating the old-fashioned way, you could spend an entire evening going out with your single friends in hopes of meeting someone, but have no luck. But with online and mobile dating you can log into an account at your convenience and narrow down your potential matches.

Rick's WILLIE'S BAR Butthose aren't Biehl's only options. Lawrence is known for being one of the best college towns in the country. In August, Complex.com, a men's pop culture and fashion guide that ranks various topics, ranked The Replay Lounge as the 31st best college bar in the country and The Wheel as the 41st. But if you're tired of going to the same, crowded, student-dominated bars every weekend, consider trying some of the options off the beaten path. You're guaranteed that you won't have to wait in a one-in-one-out line to get in or have to fight for the bartender's attention for a drink. Out of the ordinary. They may not be flashy or attract hordes of people, but these dive bars offer a different kind of atmosphere and new surroundings. While Louise's and The Replay are always a fun choice for a night on the town, Rick's and other dive bars around Lawrence are good for a more relaxing and personal experience. Located at 2907 W. 6th St., Willie's has been around for three years. Casey Rodgers, a former KU student and Willie's manager, says it's the type of bar where everyone knows everyone. Rodgers says that the bar sees a decent crowd of students from the Tuckaway Apartment complex, which is located across the street, but he says it's not a young, crazy bar. He says it's the type of place that attracts a crowd that comes to relax and enjoy a drink without fighting to get it. He says about 30 to 40 regulars come in every week. If you want to relax with a drink, pick a tune on the jukebox and play a game of pool, Willie's is a great option. CRIMSON & BREWS 25oz. Domestic Mugs,$3.50 25 oz.

His idea, he says, was to have a bar for locals and describes Crimson & Brews as a "neighborhood pub house." He says he sees students, especially student athletes, come in on Sundays and also on Tuesday nights when he offers 50-cent tacos. Weekly says he likes having students come in because they help him keep in touch with what's going on at KU. He says it's a great place to go if you want to get away from a crowd. Biehl, Denver senior, and her friends like to go on Tuesdays for the cheap tacos and a game of pool. Crimson & Brews is located at 925 Iowa St. I'll just put the text as it appears. Wait, let me look at the image again. It's a black and white photo of a bar or restaurant. The people are standing in front of a counter with stools. There are many frames on the wall behind them.

MILKSHOP CHARLIE'S EASTSIDE BAR This bar has been around for 20 years and part of its charm is its difficulty getting in. No, it doesn't have tough bouncers or a long line at the door. The owner, Charlie Del Campo, who was unavailable to comment, seems to only have it open when he wants. Four attempts at visiting Charlie's only resulted in banging on locked doors and peeking in windows at the tiny bar located in an old stone building at the corner of 9th and Pennsylvania. If you are lucky enough to stop by when it's open, it serves 3.2 percent beer and grilled food. SLOW RIDE ROADHOUSE This self-proclaimed biker bar opened in 2005 and rarely sees a student crowd. Kelli Durkin, bartender and assistant manager, says she thinks the location, 1350 N. Third St., is a part of that reason. Rachelle Remboldt, a Houston sophomore and waitress, says that the bar draws a regular group of customers and that the crowd is "fun and hilarious." The bar has pool tables and Remboldt says live bands perform every weekend. SLOW RIDE ROADHOUSE BAR & GRILL RICK'S PLACE Rick's has been in Lawrence for 20 years and the owner, Rick Younger, says he has customers that range from blue collar workers to professors. He says he also sees a lot of students come in despite the fact that the location, 846 Illinois St., is off Massachusetts street. Rick Newell, Leawood senior, says going to Rick's is a different experience than going to most bars in Lawrence. Underage students beware, Younger says he is a "ball-buster" when it comes to fake IDs. JP Younger, who wears Hawaiian-themed shirts on a regular basis, says the fact that he's the "prettiest man in Lawrence" is what draws customers in but if that isn't enough, the bar also has shuffle board, pool tables and daily drink specials. Younger has also been making his own secret (and delicious) Bloody Mary mix for the past 20 years and the only hint he would give was that he doesn't use tomato juice as the base.

Pam Ludwick smiles as she tells the story of a match that was made through the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) program. "The Big brother and his 'little' were trying to think of things to do," says Ludwick, program director for Big Brothers Big Sisters. "Since they only had one bike, they took it to the park and took turns chasing each other. The 'little' told us that was the most fun he had had." As program director, Ludwick oversees the Big Brothers Big Sisters Douglas County office, 1525 W. 6th St, Suite A. The goal of the program is to match up a mentor with a child, known as a "little," to help build healthy, caring relationships. As an affiliate of the Kansas chapter, Ludwick helps implement changes and relay information to the Douglas County program. Ludwick and case managers have meetings to discuss new kids joining the program as well as issues and concerns involving matches. While the beginning of the day is quiet at the BBBS office, Ludwick says it picks up once the kids get out of school. with mentors going through background checks, to provide a stable match for children. Seeing a match being made for the first time is a fun experience for Ludwick. "The kids are excited and nervous meeting their new mentors," she says. Ludwick says the only downside to the job is that the magic happens outside of the office when the big and little matches hang out. However, for Ludwick, the most rewarding part of her job is knowing when the match is working. "When there is a connection and you hear about it, that's when we know we're doing something good," she says. "That's what this is all about." Maryam Abu-Alawi and Marina Abramovic. ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // BALANCING YOUR CHECKBOOK > In case of emergency, read quicklv > In case of emergency, read quickly. Number crunching: Keeping a register of transactions can help you budget, as well as spot discrepancies in your monthly statement. While Jody Koch pays at Wal-Mart, she takes a few seconds to write the transaction in her check register. her check register. Those pen strokes put Koch, Baileyville freshman, in the minority when it comes to personal finance. Only 13 percent of people balance their checkbook, according to Moebs Services, a finance research company. This means 87 percent of people write checks and slide debit cards without knowing how much money sits in their account. money sits in their accounts. The number didn't surprise Jennifer Cook, branch manager at Commerce Bank, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd. "Students think," Oh, it worked. I must have money," Cook says. "It's when it gets denied they know they have a problem." Learning how to balance your checkbook can save you from incorrect charges or overdrafts. First, get a register. Most banks, such as Commerce Bank, give out free check registers. Then write your account balance in the top, right box. The rest of the register is filled out each time you make a transaction, positive or negative in value. So if you ate Taco Bell on Monday for $4.20, write that on the line. Then subtract $4.20 from your balance and write in on the same line as the rest of the Taco Bell transaction. If you don't want to write them down as you pay, keep your receipts, Cook says. At the end of the month, your bank will send you a statement, or you can get one online. Compare the statement to your register, checking off each matching transaction. If you have any discrepancies between the two, make sure the transactions aren't pending by checking online. If there's a mistake, correction takes quick and simple paperwork. "If you balance your checkbook in college, it will carry on throughout your life." Cook says.

Whether in the house, in the backyard or on the car, duct tape could fix any crack, leak or snap. BRENNA LONG Though Sapenoff's relationship with duct tape started 21 years ago, the history of duct tape dates back to World War II. The handy fix-all tool was first used to keep water out of ammunition shells. After 50 years, duct tape has transformed from the drab original olive green to silver to match ductwork and a rainbow of colors for crafts. The versatile tool has stretched to KU students who use duct tape for handy fixes and crafty projects. "I basically used duct tape straight from the womb," says Sapenoff, Overland Park senior. Raised to think duct tape fixes all, Sapenoff's first inclination every time he hears a snap is to put the broken object back together with duct tape. Photo by | Chris Bromon Mr. Fix-it: Tyler Case has made more than 30 duct tape wallets. He uses the traditional gray color, as well as the collegiate Jayhawk patterns. No one knows how to use duct tape for handy and creative ways better than The Duct Tape Guys: Jim Berg and Tim Nyberg. With seven books written about the sticky tape, the two men understand its creative powers. "It's good to use because it comes with no instructions," Nyberg says. On the handy side of duct tape, Nick Benson, Orlando, Fla., sophomore, has rolls of duct tape in his apartment and in his truck in case he needs it. When he came to college, Benson started pulling out the duct tape because it was a cheap fix to life's sticky situations. When the bumper fell off of his black Toyota Matrix, Benson grabbed a black roll of duct tape to match and taped the bumper back to the body of the car. A pipe started leaking in his apartment, and he wrapped silver tape around until no water escaped. His cats scratched at the bottom of the door, so he put rolled up pieces sticky side out to keep them away from the door. Every situation was fixed by having a roll of duct tape at hand. "It's a cheap fix for anything," Benson says. Robert Cuthbertson, category manager at Duck Brand, a company that makes duct tape and other adhesive materials, knows how versatile the company's product, Duck Brand duct tape, can be. The company also caters to the creative side, as well. "We want people to know it's a legitimate repair tool, but that it is a craft medium, too," Cuthbertson says. Since the late 1990s, the creative side of duct tape has grown with the Internet. Duck Brand's web site has Ducktivities and other duct tape ideas like making duct tape flowers and ties. And in 2001, Duck Brand started a prom contest where students could submit duct tape fashion to win scholarships. "Seeing the creative reach makes you want to take a moment and appreciate it," Cuthbertson says. The different designs and colors of duct tape have amped up the creative possibilities. The colors started 20 years ago, and in the last two years, designs such as tie-dye and camouflage have appeared. The colored duct tape costs $3.37 for 20 yards, making it double the price of regular duct tape. Making use of the colored tape, former KU student Jarred Smith used blue and red duct tape for school pride. In high school, he dressed up as duct tape man with a self-made duct tape cape. He made the cape by taking long strips of duct tape and stretching them across his kitchen table. Then he took more strips and put the sticky sides together to make one big cape. His first year at KU in 2008, he turned the 3 by 4 foot cape into a KU banner he waved around at the Missouri football game. More recent than the colors and designs is colligate duct tape — yes, Jayhawk duct tape exists. Spending an extra $4 to $5 to have KU duct tape, Tyler Case, Olathe freshman, made the Jayhawk duct tape the center stripe of his current wallet. He started making duct tape wallets in seventh grade, after his brother bought one. "That wallet was crap, so I decided to make my own," he says. Without any instruction, Case stuck his own wallet together out of plain, gray duct tape. He made the wallet by sticking together strips of tape, sticky side together. He cut the sides down to wallet size, and folded it in half. This gave him the pocket that holds cash. << THE DUCT TAPE GUYS GUIDE TO COLLEGE >> Now at college, his duct tape wallet-making hasn't stopped. With four rolls of duct tape sitting above his desk (blue, black, white and KU themed), Case says that wallets are the only use he has for duct tape. While his family makes fun of him for his creative skills, the 30 to 40 wallets he has made have made him an expert at his craft. Jp The Duct Tape Guys, the duo of Jim Berg and Tim Nyberg, know endless ways to use duct tape and have filled seven books with their knowledge. Here are a few ways Nyberg says students can use duct tape to survive college. + Cover textbooks and notebooks to make them more durable. + Tape lofts together in dorm rooms. + Wrap around your waist as a girdle to avoid the freshman fifteen. + Prevent binge drinking by covering root beer bottles with homemade ale labels made of duct tape. "The worst that happens is you might get a sugar buzz." + Make pom-poms to root on the KU sports teams. + Make clothes. They stand up well to any thing, including vomit.

REAC Audit finds School of Business to be mostly consistent in course fee usage ADMINISTRATION BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com The report addresses concerns from several MBA students who lodged complaints with the Kansas Board of Regents this summer. The findings are from an audit by BKD LLC, the same accounting firm that investigated the Athletics Department ticket scandal. Of the $30 million the School of Business has raised since 2004 from course fees, a third-party accounting firm reported that the school spent 99.8 percent appropriately. The report "confirms that we have used those funds for the benefit of our students and the advancement of the programs in our school," said William Fuerst, dean of the School of Business. Some of the MBA students also called for Fuerst to be fired. He announced Sept. 22 that he would step down after the academic year, but a school spokesperson told The University Daily Kansan that his resignation wasn't related to those demands. BKD LLC's audit found that 0.2 percent, or about $60,000, of the $30 million in spending was inconsistent with the original fee proposal. BKD reported that almost $28,000 in payroll to some professors over the summer of 2005 was inconsistent with the fee proposal. The audit also found that the school used more than $24,000 of course fees inappropriately to pay for fees related to accreditation and membership in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The school instituted the course fees in 2004, and the tuition proposal for it specified where the money could be used. The proposal established a student advisory committee, responsible for overseeing how the course fees were spent. But the committee was disbanded by 2006, perhaps the students' biggest complaint. banding the committee "an oversight," and said that keeping the committee might have prevented conflict. "Could we have avoided the controversy by having a mechanism in place?" Vitter said. "I think the answer is yes." The committee was re-established Oct.21 and agreed to meet again to discuss the findings of this review. Provost Jeffrey Vitter called dis Course fees, also called differential tuition rates, represent about 40 percent of the school's budget. On top of normal tuition, business students paid an extra $102 per credit hour in course fees this semester, and master's business students paid an extra $187 per hour. BKD's report, released Thursday, includes an appendix accounting for just under $30 million, listed by year and broken down into 17 categories of spending. "If this doesn't answer the issues of critics, then that's their issue," Vitter said. "I don't think anything In a response letter at the end of the report, Fuerst said the school will review what BKD identified as inappropriate spending with the student advisory committee. will ever answer their issue." Vitter said the committee will receive reports on expenditures and planned expenditures in the future. Although BKD found that the school spent nearly all of the fee money appropriately, the report also said the fee proposal was vague in places and that "there could be differences of opinion" about whether an expenditure conflicted with the fee proposal. The provost's office contracted BKD to perform the audit, which cost an estimated $50,000 and was overseen by a committee of students, faculty and staff. The provost's office paid for the audit with private donations.

Laetitia Sadler's dreamy lead vocals are key to the group's sound. It's similar to, but not as low or as masculine as Nico's famous croon. Sadler's thick French accent adds a curious and exotic element to Stereolab's sound. "So Is Cardboard Clouds" peaks with a barrage of triumphant horns and exemplifies use of the "motiork" beat, the simplistic 4/4 groove-drumming style of '60s and '70s German rock — aka "krautrock." Stereolab combines this rhythmic style with cleanly produced lounge-influenced pop, often with jazzy chord progressions. The instrumental "Equivalences" is in line with post-rockers Tortoise, featuring sparse guitar, eerie organs and off-kilter bass and drums. "Leleklato Sugar" and a remix of "Silver Sands" (a track from the group's last record, 2008's Chemical Chords) are highlights that feature similar central synth hooks within different surroundings, together clocking in at over 13 minutes. "Sun Demon" has more up-front guitar than the aforementioned tracks,and the song abruptly changes into an upbeat pop groove reminiscent of Voxrotts "The Start Of Something," only quicker and more frantic. Closer "Neon Beanbag" is another song from Chemical Chords, this time remixed by Deerhunter's Bradford Cox into a long jam similar to Animal Collective's "People." It drones on two simple chords with airy synths and digital bleeps and bloops that provide the song's few shifts and changes in tone.Sadler adds an otherworldly feel with her distant chants and repetitions. Though technically finished as a band and on to solo projects, as Not Music is made up of recordings from the same sessions as Chemical Chords. Stereolab is apparently still making excellent albums. Words don't do the music justice. Just listen. ★★★★ | ALEX TRETBAR MOVIE REVIEW // DUE DATE > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. > Hollywood hits, indie ticks and The director of The Hangover, Todd Phillips, brings to the screen a very unlikely pair: Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes) and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Dinner for Schmucks). They are thrown together in a race against the clock, and try not kill each other in the process. A straightedge architect with a don'tmess-with-me attitude, Peter Highman (Downey) leaves Georgia to head home to Los Angeles and back to his expectant wife, whose due date is within a few days. In the airport Peter has a chance encounter with Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis). Ethan, an eccentric, inspiring actor, accidentally got Peter kicked off his flight and put on the nofly list without having a wallet or photo I.D. This forces Peter to hitch a ride from Ethan, with the hope of getting to his wife before he misses the birth of his first child. The comedy stems from a domino effect of mishaps and life-threatening experiences, usually involving something illegal. Through most of the movie the characters go through the motions of an expected comedic movie, forcing a laugh to keep the audience engaged. After a slow start we see a possible depth to the characters, looking deeper within the plot and meaning of the movie in a few serious moments. The movie dips into the areas of comedy and discomfort and if you are in need of some sporadic laughs this movie is the one for you.

Despite a minor fashion disaster, unrelenting nerves and a stone-faced interviewer, she made it to the end and has since learned to handle last-minute catastrophes and improved her interviewing skills. My stomach was in knots. My hands were clammy and my right leg was bouncing up and down nervously as I sat in the lobby. The only sounds were the fingers of the receptionist typing on her keyboard and the pounding of my heart. I was at my first job interview for a fashion magazine in New York and I was plagued with self-doubt. I nervously picked at a piece of lint on the jacket of the pinsstriped suit I had meticulously chosen and tried to keep my composure. I took a deep breath, checked the time on my phone and went over my resume in my head for the millionth time that day. But the city had been against me that day. Traffic was more insane than usual because of the St. Patrick's Day Parade and I had to stop my cab ride short so I could cut across the parade and walk the last mile to the larger-than-life building. I cursed myself for choosing impractical, but fashionable, five-inch stiletto heels as I stepped onto the congested and loud street. With every step the pain from my regretted footwear increased and my confidence level lowered. It was hot and I was sweating. People clad in green and reeking of beer kept bumping into me and stepping on my already throbbing toes. By the time I finally reached my destination, I was a mess. Twenty-four hours earlier, I looked out the window at the city during my flight's descent into La Guardia Airport, excited for the interview. I had perfected my resume and had my awesome speech memorized. I was ready and confident. Luckily, I had brought basic beauty products with me in case of a fashion disaster, which with my hair frizzing, make-up running, and armpits sweating, I was the definition of. With the help of the hand drier in the ladies restroom and my emergency products, I was able to put myself back together — physically, that is. My name still hadn't been called and I pretended to read a magazine and psych myself up as I waited. I attempted to resurrect the self-confidence I had possessed before I walked through the intimidating glass doors of the 48-story building, but my nerves were shot. The receptionist finally called my name and I cautiously walked to the elevator, hearing the echo of my stiletto heels follow me as they clicked on the shiny granite floor. I got onto the elevator and took a deep breath. I looked in the mirror: "You can do this," I said, unconvincedly, to myself. With every floor the elevator passed, ascending toward my impending doom, the more my heart pounded. The elevator stopped and I timidly stepped onto the 33rd floor where I was met by the assistant of the editor interviewing me. I followed her to a corner office where the editor, who was in the middle of a phone conversation, greeted me with a distracted glance and a quick hand gesture to sit down. This question and answer exchange continued on for about five minutes, during which the editor did not look up from my résumé nor changed her facial expression. In every word she spoke I heard annoyance and harsh judgment. I was terrified. I pulled up a chair and sat uncomfortably, holding my resumé, trying not to shake it. While she finished her conversation, I awkwardly tried to look as hire-able as possible. I carefully placed my resumé on her desk, put my hands politely in my lap and crossed my feet. She finally hung up and we were off. She took my resumé, looked down and set her face into an intimidating expression and started interrogating me. She interrupted me as I was describing my job as a copyeditor, and her eyes met mine for the first time since I stepped into her office. She put her hand up. Editor: Why should I hire you to be an intern this summer? Me: Um, well, I have a lot of experience with newspaper writing and would love the opportunity to work for a magazine. Editor: Okay, why this magazine? Me: I've been a long-time reader and I think my writing style would be a good fit here. Editor: I'm going to stop you there. Me: Um, Okay. Editor: You are talking entirely too fast. Me: I'm sorry, I guess I'm just nervous. Editor: You should know I don't smile. I maybe smile five minutes a day. Continue She looked back down at my résumé. I froze. I tried to collect my thoughts. Me: I'm sorry, where was I? Editor: Stop saying I'm sorry.' Me: I'm sorry. Wait. Sorry. Nevermind. I laughed nervously. My fear was palpable and my mind was blank. I was completely flustered but somehow I managed to finish my interview without crying or throwing up. I shook the editor's hand and thanked her for her time. I walked to the elevator, sprinted out of the building, and hailed a cab. Weeks went by, life went on and I moved past my terrible first job interview. I ended up getting an offer for another internship in Los Angeles. But, while I may have moved on, I have not forgotten that interview. I was totally prepared but I psyched myself out and lost my confidence because of things I couldn't control. The city wasn't just working against me that day, I was working against myself. My inability to mentally adapt to a change in plans is what made that interview terrible. Things aren't always going to go perfectly and the ability to adjust to change is crucial to success. The best approach to life is to be prepared, but you have to take it as it comes and just go with it. Jp e that every twig said.

But these noises aren't coming from animals; they're coming from children who are walking around with their eyes shuit, trying to find their fellow mooers or quackers. The activity was part of a program that the on-campus group GROW started this year. Erica Bennett, a junior from Emporia and co-coordinator of GROW, said the club is an initiative to promote healthy habits. To better promote this initiative, the group designed a year-long program with monthly themes to teach third- and fourth-graders at the school how to become healthier, both mentally and physically. This month's theme is teamwork. The children played games where they Monica Powers, left, and Erica Bennett, are co-coordinators of GROW, an on-campus group that promotes healthy habits for children.

This can include a diet that consists of food that is free, usually obtained through "dumpster diving." Jason Herwig, a senior from Hutchinson, is a freeman. "Ten minutes ago, this food was on a shelf," Herwig said. "But now that it is in a dumpster, it's completely foreign. That's just the regular system people understand." Freeganism began as an anticapitalist movement in the 1960s, and regained popularity in 1999 when former Against Me! drummer Warren Oakes published "Why Fregan?" Today, it has evolved into a lifestyle of using alternative methods to obtain food. "I am an environmental studies major, so reducing waste is pretty much the gospel to me," said Greg Beverlin, a senior from Paola. "You really get to see hands-on just how much is thrown away," Greg said. "Thirty seconds after food expires it is perfectly good, but the store can't risk it. They throw away dumpsters full every single day." According to the Department of Agriculture, 90 billion pounds of food are thrown away each year. Herwig said he subsidizes the high price of local food by "dumpstering" food. Beverlin does not adhere to "I really believe that every dollar counts." Herwig said. "In the wasteful system we operate in, it helps me support the local economy. Instead of supporting big corporations, you are using their waste to support your local habitat." freeganism, but started sympathizing with its ideology after working at a grocery store for six months. Herwig said "dumpster diving" is also called "urban foraging", a term that may be easier for people to accept. "Dumpster diving" isn't the only way to salvage food though.

ODD NEWS Victim eats lunch after being shot NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police say a 25-year-old Connecticut man who was shot twice after buying a sandwich at a New Haven deli went home and ate his lunch before going to the hospital. Miguel Soto said he was leaving the deli Tuesday when he heard three gunshots. One bullet hit him in the left leg, another in the groin. Police said he went home and ate the sandwich before asking his father to take him to a hospital. Police did not say whether Soto realized immediately that he had been shot, or if he decided the injuries were not serious enough to require an immediate hospital trip. Officers say his injuries were not life-threatening. A message was left Thursday for a New Haven police spokesman, and no arrests were immediately reported. Cops find new way to serve warrants and Albert Younkin used a van decorated in Steelers colors and the team logo. CONNELLSVILLE, Pa. — Two constables in western Pennsylvania decided driving around in a car resembling a police cruiser was preventing them from serving warrants. So, they decided to go black and gold. Constables Hubie Coleman Coleman says they drove up to houses and honked the horn. People came out to see them because they were curious about the van. That's when they served the court papers. They also play the team's fight song when transporting people to a district judge. The constables borrowed the van from a car dealership. They tell the Daily Courier of Connellsville that they won't use it again since their cover is blown, but they are looking for other unique ways to get their job done.

"Since these places are closed on the weekends, we go on Friday and pick up the food that would expire Saturday or Sunday," Jin said. "Then we take it to the Salvation Army to donate." Those who do get their meals by "dumpster diving" have their own reasons for doing so. Freegans promote the sense of sharing and community that their lifestyle creates. "I don't know anyone who dumpster dives by themselves," Herwig said. "For one, one person has to hold the box and one has to hold the dumpster open. Besides, it is fun. The food is meant to be shared." Herwig said being freegan helps people to be more appreciative of what they have. "There are a small chunk of students here who have very little money, and a large chunk who have plenty." Herwig said. "When you dumper dive and find things in bulk, you can share that wasted resource with others, and they are very grateful." Beverlin said no matter the source, food is food. Edited by Lisa Curran Tips for eating freegan 1. Be Safe: If there is a lot of one item thrown away before the expiration date, it's probably because of a recall. 2. Be Sanitary: It is best to select foods that are pre-packaged or individually wrapped. Wash vegetables with one teaspoon baking soda or one tablespoon white vinegar. 3. Don't take any food that needs refrigeration during warm months. 4. Don't take meat, fish, dairy, eggs or any food that has touched any of these. 5. Look for "Sell By" and "Best If Used By" dates. These dates do not necessarily mean the product is expired, they are just meant to tell the store how long to display the product, according to the USDA. "Use By" indicates a definite expiration date. Freegan habits that don't involve food 1. Check Craiglists! Items like couches, kitchen appliances and electronics are advertised for free at Craiglist.org. 2. Join a swapgroup: Check flickr.com or meetup.com for a local swap group, where you can get together with others to host something similar to a collective garage sale. Items you are disposing of could be something someone in your group wants. 3. Look for free events: Lawrence has tons of free social events, from film showings to concerts. You can enjoy new company and interests without charge. GROUP (CONTINUEDFROM 1A) couldn't speak or see in order to learn different methods of communication, which explains the animal noises. The activities showed the different ways that teamwork can help the children succeed. "We wanted to focus on how they can grow not only physically but as a person as well," Monica Powers, a junior from Leawood and co-coordinator of GROW, said. Bennett said the program was designed around Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign, which aims to prevent childhood obesity. Powers said the club had a chance to create a more personal program to encourage the kids to be healthy. The volunteers of GROW attempt to prevent childhood obesity in Lawrence by creating themes that are about muscle and bone health. However, at the beginning of the school year, the outlook wasn't promising. Bennett said some kids couldn't do five sit-ups or even a few jumping-jacks. "We were like, 'No, that shouldn't be hard for a kid,' she said. Kristen Matteuzzi, a junior from Overland Park, said she was amazed how little adults know about eating right and taking care of their bodies. She said especially with the obesity epidemic in America today, So far, the young students have changed for the better. Bennett said she could already see a vast improvement in cooperation, teamwork and activeness within the children. She said the GROW volunteers offered positive reinforcement and encouraged the kids to practice everything they learned outside of the classroom. teaching young students today is the right place to start to make a necessary change. "They can't wait for us to come back," she said.

Chris Neal//KANSAN COMMUNITY Kansas' most prevalent illegal substance remains marijuana BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com Marijuana remains the most highly abused illegal substance in Kansas, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. In 2009, 1,553.6 kilograms, or more than 3,400 pounds, of marijuana were seized in Kansas. Only 100 kilograms of cocaine, or about 220 pounds, were seized in the same year. A new website, priceofweed, com, can tell you the average going rate for marijuana anywhere in the United States. The site asks marijuana users to enter their location and how much they paid for either low, medium or high quality marijuana. The site has been online since September, and it already has about two dozen entries from Lawrence. Danielle, a junior from Olathe, said that the site is an example of the normalization and decriminalization of the use of mari- HOUSING Tenants can avoid sublease headache Graduation is fast approaching for some — a time of drastic change. For most students, it signals the closing of one chapter of life and the opening of a new one. It should be one of the happiest moments of his life, but the nine-month lease Jake Hager signed is wearing on him. Hager, like many seniors graduating in December, faces a lease he must pay that will extend past the remainder of his time in Lawrence. Joshua Eberler, assistant property manager of Tuckaway apartments, experiences these situations all the time. "If you know you're only going to be here for six months, don't sign the lease," Eberine said. "It's not as easy "I'm not going to be here come December," said Hager, a senior from Shawnee Mission. "But I still have four months of rent to pay, unless I get it subleased." as people think it is to get out of." BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com All Lawrence apartment complexes vary, but each require a minimum of $100 once a sublease is submitted — a sort of processing fee. Next, the apartment complex requires the lease-breaking tenant to find a subsleece. Many people go about this different ways, whether they know a friend or advertise online or in the newspaper. The Lawrence Fair Housing Act requires apartment complexes to follow certain guidelines when handling tenants. Eberline encourages all tenants to visit the site to learn about what their landlords can and cannot do. Until the tenant finds a person to sign off on the sublease (take over his or her rent), he or she is still required to pay the rent. On top of this, the tenant won't get the deposit back until the sublessee pays the rent. For many apartments, the deposit can range between $300 and $400. Megan Harrod, assistant prop erty manager at Tuckaway apartments, understands subleasing can be a difficult thing to do. But with an early start and some advertisement, Harrod thinks it can be done. "If you know you're going to be leaving in December, start looking during August," Harrod said. "Don't wait till November, or just think someone will eventually take the lease." "I have seen lots of sublease posters on library bulletin boards with phone number tear-offs at the bottom," Gelvin said. "I always wondered how the old roommates would feel about some random person moving in though." Sarah Gelvin, a senior from Overland Park, has seen the many different methods people use to find sublesees. juana that has been occurring recently. This brings up another interesting perspective — that of the roommates that are left behind when a person breaks the lease. Not only is the tenant faced with finding a sub- Danielle smokes at least every other day, most days with her friends, but occasionally alone. Danielle said even in the past two years she's noticed a shift in the way society views marijuana. Now that marijuana has been legalized in 14 states for medical purposes, people are beginning to see the benefits of it, she said. One alternative some tenants have used is the common Facebook attempt to find a sublessee. This method allows old roommates to see who all is interested in moving into their apartment and can help smooth out the whole process. lessee, but he or she must also find one that is compatible with former roommates to avoid conflict. This can prove to be a difficult balance All in all, if a tenant signs a lease and needs to break it, then it will be an uphill battle. The best bet is to get the word out to as many people as possible, as early as possible. There is no guarantee that the search will be successful, and even if it is, it will be an adjustment for former roommates to deal with. — coordinating personalities among the scarcity of people who are actually looking to sublease. Edited by Alex Tretbar "It's kind of like coffee for me," Danielle said. "I enjoy my day more and get more things done if I smoke." Greg, a senior from Overland Park, used to smoke regularly. He said he never really felt pressure from the Lawrence police. "People who smoke tend to be private about it," Greg said. "So unless you are openly smoking near a police officer or selling pounds per week, they're probably not going to bother you." Detective Dean Brown of the Lawrence Police Department said all kinds of drugs were in Lawrence. He said the police do not target marijuana users, but take cases as they come. Danielle said it seemed the Lawrence police weren't as concerned about marijuana as police in other states. She said she thought it was because Lawrence was such a liberal town and so many people do smoke. "Iis marijuana prevalent? Oh yeah. It's all over." Brown said. Brown said there was no one area of Lawrence where marijuana use was most prevalent and There have been 265 drug and narcotics violations this year, according to the Uniform Crime Reporting statistics report provided by the Lawrence Police Department. y The website collegeprowler. com uses student surveys and statistics to create a guide to colleges. A high grade indicates that drugs are not a noticeable part of campus life; drug use is not visible, and no pressure to use them seems to exist. The website ranks the University of Kansas' drug scene at a C+. This grade addresses illegal drug use, illegal use of prescription medications, and underage drinking. The site says marijuana is the most popular illegal drug used by students, but that alcohol is much more prevalent. Both Kansas State and the University of Missouri also received a C+ in this category. that both students and Lawrence natives are charged with possession.

ENTERTAINMENT / FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM TELEVISION Palin show sets new political standard MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Sarah Palin is the ultimate "American Idol" politician. Plucked from relative obscurity by the John McCain campaign, quickly costumed, coached and handed a set list created to play to her strengths, she leapfrogged over the traditional trajectory of a political career directly onto center stage where some viewers/voters loved her and many others didn't. and many others alike. So although it is unprecedented, it is not surprising that, in the aftermath of her unsuccessful vice presidential bid, Palin would quit her actual political job — governor of Alaska — to pursue a career in news, first as a commentator for Fox News and now as the star of TLC's new reality series "Sarah Palin's Alaska." A show that is, in a phrase, breathtaking, though not so much in form as function. Certainly the Palins are a great-looking family and Alaska is a great-looking state, but it's not the image of a bear raising itself to full angry height or the grandeur of Mount McKinley or Willow Palin's boyfriend sneaking up to her bedroom that causes the viewer's jaw to, and not occasionally, drop. It's the fabulous shamelessness, the awful and yet admirable brilliance of the thing. Whether Palin will ever run for office or not, "Sarah Palin's Alaska" sets a new standard for political ads. For years now TLC, once known as the Learning Channel, has specialized in fringe families. There is no judgment on TLC just a platform, for polygamists, Mormons and single moms alike, which makes it a perfect home for a woman who has accused the mainstream media of at least five of the seven deadly sins.

MOVIES Answer to previous puzzle Warner Bros. needs franchise to follow end of'Harry Potter'films MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Warner Bros. Pictures is about to lose a major rainstaker, so it's going to let him linger a little longer before letting him go. that rainmaker, of course, is Warner's hugely profitable "Harry Potter" franchise. And by the time the box-office runs dry on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" after its release this holiday season, the wizard of Hogwarts will have raked in more than $6 billion for Warner and its parent, Time Warner Inc. through seven films. But when "Deathly Hallows: Part I" debuds Nov. 19 — almost nine years to the day that the first installment, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released — it will be the last time the "Potter" series plops down in the middle of the holiday season and force the rest of Hollywood to plan their holiday films around it. The question is, who will fill the void? "It opens an opportunity. I don't know who jumps in there," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office for the website Hollywood.com. "We have to see. Sometimes these things just happen organically." Consider that the first six installments made a cumulative $5.4 billion, or $900 million apiece in worldwide receipts. That makes the $6 billion threshold easily within range. It's also possible that when Part II of that final "Potter" installment hits theaters in July, the franchise could pile on that haul enough to make it $7 billion in eight films, plus countless more sales in home video and untold ancillary revenue from product tie-ins. end from plain text. But that will be it for what will end up being a film series that spanned nearly 10 years and lifted the fortunes of Warner Bros. to a level that may be impossible to reach again. It's no wonder that Warner is stretching out the series Sales started climbing again and the last two films, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed $938 million and $934 million, respectively. "It's incredible how strong this franchise is, six movies in." Brandon Gray, president of boxoffice tracker BoxOfficeMojo.com says that splitting one book into two parts in a blatant effort to rake in more money could backfire. of seven books to eight films. Company officials make no pretenions about trying to give at least a little more life to the series before bidding it farewell; that's another $900 million in potential receipts left on the table, they say privately. With many film series, each successive movie often ends up making less than the first. "Potter" went through the inevitable decline after "Sorcerer's Stone" — still the highest-grossing installment in the series — but got over it after the third movie, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", which still made $796 million "It doesn't work too often but it may be that 'Harry Potter' is a unique phenomenon," Gray said. BRANDON GRAY BoxOfficeMojo.com "It's incredible in strong this franchise is, six movies in." The film industry will need every ounce of that success, and a few other hits, if it hopes to continue on a growth path Thanks to a near-record increase in average ticket prices of 35 cents for 2010, the cumulative domestic gross since the beginning of the year is just under $8.8 billion, a rise of 3.3 percent from last year. But attendance is down nearly 2 percent. for box-office receipts this holiday season, which began last weekend. A more troubling trend has been developing since Labor Day, as a death of popular releases has left the fall season well behind the same period last year in both receipts and attendance. It also doesn't seem as if there are any surefire blockbusters out there other than "Potter." "I don't see any blockbusters coming out, but I look forward to being surprised," said Gray. "It's not predetermined as it normally is." Spare time? Participate in a Clinical Study. Quintiles has a study with a two night clinical stay and nine follow-up visits.

Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said that the University has received a yearly grade since 2007 from the College Sustainability Report Card, which is published by the non-profit group the Sustainability Endowment Institute. The University is graded in eight different categories; the University's score for each individual category are as follows: Administration: C; Climate Change & Energy; B; Food & Recycling; B; Green Building; C; Student Involvement; B; Transportation; B; Endowment Transparen/ Investment Priority: A. on and students should help improve the University's grade. Severin said that there are a variety of ways students can participate. At a small level, there is a sustainability pledge. in which students pledge to do three things a year during their time at the University Big 12 Report Card for 2009-2010 University of Colorado - B+ University of Texas-Austin - B+ University of Kansas - B University of Missouri-Columbia - B Iowa State University - B Baylor University - B Oklahoma State University - B- Texas A&M - B- Kansas State University - C University of Nebraska-Lincoln - C University of Oklahoma - C Endowment Transparency: B; Investment Priority: A. Source: www.greenreportcard.org Since 2007 the University's over all grade has increased from a C-. Severin said the biggest climb since 2009 has been in Green Building — from a D to a C. He make the University more efficient. The University is tied with the University of Missouri, Iowa State University and Baylor University for the third best grade in the Big 12. Student involvement is one the areas that the University is judged to reduce their individual effect. Students who wish to participate more directly with ongoing efforts should stay connected with the Center for Sustainability's biggest project: the Sustainability Plan. The plan is a set of goals across campus guided by an appointed advising council and 10 working groups, which students can and should participate in. The University is doing a great job improving its sustainability and this is shown in its grade increase. The Center for Sustainability should be praised and supported in its ongoing efforts and more students should participate.

GUEST COLUMN Policing video games lies with parents, adults More specifically, you get Entertainment Merchants Association v. Schwarzenegger. The case deals with whether it should be illegal to sell violent video games to children, but it's not as simple as it sounds. It highlights First Amendment rights and how to determine what makes a video game "unacceptably" violent. It has always been the responsibility of adults to shield children from that which might not be appropriate for them, but in the age of accessible technology it has become increasingly difficult. So then, what happens when one of the most popular forms of technology among children — video games — raises questions about violence? You get a case in the United States Supreme Court. The hearing took place on Nov. 2, with Supreme Court Justices grilling both California Deputy Attorney General Zackery Morazzini, the attorney arguing against video games, and Paul Smith, who is representing the video game industry's perspective. The video game industry, on the other hand, insists that video games are no more damaging than any other form of violent media and that they deserve full protection from the First Amendment, just like any other art form. This battle has been raging for over a decade, but there has remained one thing stopping states like California from attacking video games. From the looks of everything, it seems pretty clear as to what the big deal is: California is concerned for the psyches of children — a completely noble and understandable aim — and worries that playing violent video games will lead them down some twisted path of degeneracy. reality is that such a ruling would impinge on developers' First Amendment rights, forcing them to self-censor and speculate whether their games might provoke a federal case. The issue with making it illegal to sell video games to children seems hardly debatable. But the Plain and simple, lawyers who don't play video games are trying to talk about them. And not just talk, but make hugely important decisions about their future. Either way, it's clear in the transcript of the hearing that not only does Morazzini have limited understanding of the real level of violence in video games, but the justices are also not experts. That's to be expected to some degree, but when your argument is based off of a hypothetical game in which you can torture babies and "Postal 2," a 1997 game that was truly horrid, you don't have much. To be frank, while you can do some pretty twisted things in a small handful of games, it doesn't come close to infanticide. Additionally, "Postal 2," which seems to be the only name California ever uses in its cases against video games, is nothing like any game made today. Since video games have become a respected medium of art and entertainment, people have formed standards. Developers, by and large, aren't just in it for the shock value anymore. The Supreme Court now has the power to change video games forever with one ruling. Here's hoping they see that video games should be protected by the First Amendment. -From UWIRE. Jason Krell for The Arizona Daily Wildcat at the University of Arizona. HEALTH Birth control method offers choices, safety trade-offs A common birth control patch, Ortho Evra, has been the target of intense scrutiny in the past several years, because many young women have developed — or died as a result of — side effects that were previously overlooked. Zakiya Kennedy, a freshman at Berkeley College in New York, is one of 23 women whose deaths have reportedly been caused by Ortho Evra, according to Jim Edwards of Brandweek. a business journal. The number of women who have died after using Ortho Evra has not yet been made public, according to Edwards, because of the ongoing litigation between the drug's manufacturer, Johnson and Johnson, and the 1,500 women and their families who are suing because of the adverse effects they have experienced. Kennedy was a healthy, 18-year-old woman with aspirations of becoming a member of the fashion world; she even had an audition scheduled for America's Next Top Model. Kennedy died of a pulmonary thromboembolism (i.e. a blood clot in the lungs) caused by Ortho Era. This raises a serious question in regards to the safety of Ortho Evra. Kennedy died back in 2004, when the safety of Ortho Evra was first seriously questioned, but even after more and more women have died or suffered severe health consequences, such as strokes or heart attacks, and the number of lawsuits are ever increasing. Ortho Evra continues to be prescribed and women continue to be injured. According to an article by Jeff Rossen and Robert Powell of NBC News, women who use Ortho Evra are 12 times more likely to have a stroke and 18 times more likely to have blood clots, in comparison to the pill. Rossen and Powell reported that just last year another college freshman, Adrianna Duffy, died of a blood clot while on Ortho Evra. Again, Duffy was a healthy, 18 year old woman. The difference is Duffy's death could have been prevented had the FDA pulled Ortho Evra off the market after learning of the previous problems associated with the patch five years earlier. Instead, Ortho Evra continues to be prescribed because doctors trust the FDAS ruling. The Conscientious Consumer BY SARAH BREGMAN sqross@kansan.com Back in 2000 Dr. Joel Lippman, who was the vice president of clinical trials on Ortho Eva, voiced concerns regarding the safety of Ortho Eva; Johnson and Johnson ignored Dr. Lippman's opinion on the matter, and Ortho Eva was officially contrived. In the next 17 months, 9,116 adverse reactions were reported to the FDA, which included everything from nausea to death, according to Edwards. Rossen and Powell cite experts who attribute many of these problems to Ortho Evras high estrogen content, which is 60 percent higher than the pill. Because of the pending litigation it is unknown how many women have actually died from Ortho Evra, and it may be impossible to ever know. There is the possibility that many families never connected the dots of their loved one's death or they didn't have the means to attempt to bring down the renowned Johnson and Johnson in a lawsuit. Proponents for Ortho Evra argue that it has helped more women than it has hurt — but at what cost? Surely there is a way to make medicine both safe and effective. But ultimately it is still a woman's choice what kind of birth control she chooses, if at all. So I pose this question ladies: Would having a child really alter your future so drastically that you would rather assume you won't be a statistic of Ortho Evra, like Zakiya or Adrianna? Consider the vast array of options available today, and then consider the risks associated with Ortho Evra; your health is in your hands.

However, how beneficial the music is could depend on the type of exercise someone is doing. country. "If I am on a Stairmaster, it's more of a fast tempo, because I have to go faster," Riedel said. "On the bike, it's more country." Riedel, who is a junior from Holyrood, said her choice of music could range anywhere from rap to country. Laura Webb, a personal trainer at the recreation center, agreed that some genres are better suited for specific exercises. Webb said if people are doing a cool- down for a yoga class, it is more beneficial for them to turn on slower, softer music so their bodies can relax. However, she said with aerobic exercises, such as running or spinning, fast-paced music with more beats per minute is going to be more motivating. While Stephens said music could be beneficial, she said other distractions, such as watching television, might take away from an individual's workout. individuals work. "I know from experience when people watch television, they probably aren't getting an effective workout, because it's harder for them to pay attention to how their body feels," Stephens said. However, if people can't fathom missing out on the latest episode of their favorite sitcom. Webb said it is important for them to check in with themselves about halfway through the workout to ask questions such as, "Is my face red?" or "Am I sweaty?" "If people have found that they aren't working out as hard, maybe they should go watch their show for 30 minutes and then hop on a bike and actually get an effective workout," Webb said. Katie Hayes, a freshman from Pittsburg, runs down the hill behind the Campanile on Tuesday morning. Hayes said she preferred listening to faster paced music, either hip-hop or pop, while working out instead of silence, though she doesn't listen to this music outside of exercising. "I like listening to music while working out because it blocks out my breathing." Hayes stated. Stephens said studying while working out could also hinder a person's workout. She said if students are studying and exercising at the same time, they are really just studying and moving at the same time — they really aren't working out.

For Sean Glass, each kill is a tactical victory that ensures the survival of those who are on his side. sue: "You're not just running around in camo." Glass said. "If you get shot, your friends get shot and that sucks." But fortunately for himself and his victims, a kill doesn't equal death. Instead, a kill equals about 5 to 15 points. 5 to 13 points. Glass, a senior from Leavenworth, is the vice president of the University's resurrected paintball club and has played competitive paintball for about five years. Glass views the sport tactically. tactics. "Whenever you do anything, it's to the utmost of your ability and paintball is no different," Glass said. "You're trying to communicate with your teammates on the field and you are yelling as loud as possible. You run as fast as you can run. When you dive or slide you throw yourself into the ground, just bleeding and sweating to make your spot." The paintball club was originally started in 2004 but has been inactive since 2005. Previous attempts to restart the club were unsuccessful because of a lack of commitment from students and the absence of faculty support. the absence of memory. This year, Michael Shelton, a senior from Coffeville and an avid paintball player since he was 10, decided to take the leadership role as president and see his passion become a reality. The club has 13 committed members and will hold its first practice this Sunday at 280 Paintball, 11611 Hickman Mills Dr., in Kansas City, Mo. Shelton said the practice will give members an opportunity to gauge where everyone is at and give everyone an opportunity to get on the field. To appeal to all paintball playing levels and interests, the club has two components: competitive and recreational. Those who are only interested in the recre Recently, the club received the licensing to put the Jayhawk on its jerseys. its jersey. Dustin Reed, a sophomore from Lawrence and member of the club, recognizes this as his only opportunity to represent the University as an athlete. "I wasn't good enough to play football or basketball but I still get to represent our school," Reed said. Reed has played paintball for about three years and wants nothing more than to win a tournament this year, preferably against another Big 12 school. For the students who are more interested in participating competitively, the club is registered with the National Collegiate Paintball Association, which is paintball's equivalent of the NCAA. The NCPA registration will allow the club to compete against other schools, including Kansas State University and the University of Missouri, both of which have paintball teams. national aspects of the club can meet with members once a month to discuss paintball and become more informed.

Renee Horinek is a first-year graduate student from Topeka and the club's faculty adviser. Although Horinek has never played, she said her recent interest in hunting may sway her to give it a try. Horinek said she supports anything that gives someone a chance to be active. She also likes to encourage women to get involved in male-dominated sports, especially the unique sport of paintball. "It seems like a great stress reliever and provides an alternative to those who don't fit into typical basketball or softball and baseball molds," Horinek said. The club's Sunday practice is open to anyone, regardless of interest, skill level or commitment.

The Jayhawks hit 49 percent of their shots last year. They hit 48 percent in the exhibition season. They've pulled down 37.5 rebounds per game this year, compared to 34.5 last year. But there's one stat in particular that's glaringly different. Kansas hit 40.4 percent of its three-pointers last season. This year? 22.6 percent. A slight drop is understandable, and, frankly, it was to be expected. Gone is Sherron Collins. Gone is Xavier Henry. Gone, too, is C.J. Henry, who only took 21 threes, but hit 11 of them. Those three combined to hit 150 of 375 threes last season, 40 percent of the layhawks' tally. "We really haven't talked about it much," senior guard Tyrel Reed said. "I think we've got capable shooters on this team, and I think we've got some proven shooters on this team. You know, shots just weren't falling those last couple games." But this year, even the steady hands of Tyrel Reed (47.3 percent) and Brady Morningstar (39.6) are lacking from behind the arc. Reed has hit just 2-of-7 shots from behind the arc, while Brady Morningstar has yet to make a three in five attempts. GAMEDAY|8B Kansas prepares for Longwood "We need Brady and Tyrel, probably more so than anyone else that's been in our program the last couple years, to step up and make shots," coach Bill Self said. "Their performance isn't determined by whether or not they make shots but it certainly gives our team a much better chance when you can stretch the defense." "I try to just put up about five or six hundred shots a day," Releford Reed knows the burden lies heavy on his shoulders, but he says there are plenty of guys on the roster that can step up and hit shots. Travis Releford, who was impressive in his start against Emporia State, took a redshirt season last year and most of that additional time was spent working on his jump shot. said. "I had been doing that all through last season and just continued doing it through the summer; I built up a lot of confidence doing that." Check out the in-depth look at the teams and statistics for the Jayhawks' season opener. Self said Releford's role is as a defender, but Releford said he can see himself as a shooter as well. Releford only took eight threes, but the stats from the small sample size lend credence to his argument. He hit three of them, and that 37.5 career percentage is better than all but Reed, Robinson and Marcus Morris. Marcus and Markieff Morris are the wild cards in Bill Self's rotation. The twins are 6-foot-9 and 6-foot-10, respectively, but they both hit better than 37 percent of their threes. Their ability to stretch the floor with outside shooting is an asset, but Self needs their size inside under the basket. why not shoot it?" "The twins have been doing a good job," Reed said. "That's not their forte, and I don't think coach wants it to be their forte, but when they're open, definitely they've been knocking it down, so Senior guard Mario Little said the shots will start to fall for the rest of the team soon, though. "We shoot good in practice," he said. "We just haven't been able to buy a shot lately." — Edited by Abby Davenport COMMENTARY This weekend will be full of Kansas athletic events to satiate all sports fans P. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com Look at the smorgasbord Kansas Athletics laid out this weekend. There's so much to feast on and it's not even Thanksgiving. This is the first time all season where we have the three major sports on this campus in consecutive days during the weekend, including this upcoming Monday. No matter what you have going on this weekend, there will almost always be some event for your viewing pleasure. TODAY: The men's basketball game against Longwood will most likely be the highlight of your weekend. I've been around this University enough to know what Kansas basketball means to you all. Maybe the No. 7 team in the nation has enough left in the tank after two nail-biting exhibition games — wait. Nevermind. Bold prediction: the Jayhawks start the season 1-0, but don't quote me on that. SATURDAY: Before the marquee event of the night, those still in Lawrence can go see the swimming and diving team at 1 p.m. They won't have another home meet until the middle of January. Then look at what's happening in Lincoln, Neb., at 6 p.m. Kansas football versus Nebraska, viewable to those willing to pay the expensive pay-per-view fee — $29.95. On the surface, it looks like the most lopsided Big 12 matchup of the season. But this game might not be all that bad. The Jayhawks are coming off that monumental comeback against Colorado, which is no comparison to Nebraska. Coach Turner Gill gets to go back to his college football roots, where he played quarterback at Nebraska. There's no way he gets destroyed in his return. At least, not as bad as when basketball coach Bill Self got run out of the arena at Oklahoma State. Regardless, Nebraska is a top 10 team. They play good football and sometimes good football is worth watching, no matter who it is. SUNDAY: As with the men's team, the women's basketball team begins its regular season against South Dakota at 2 p.m. If you are willing to forego the first half of the Chiefs' game, check out how good these ladies are. The Jayhawks did receive a vote for the AP Top 25 poll. The combination of Angel Goodrich and Carolyn Davis should be something special to watch this year. They tore it up in the two exhibition games. The team didn't finish 2009-10 the way it wanted to after losing nine out of its last 12 games as well as Danielle McCray to a season-ending injury. This season looks promising for the Jayhawks. MONDAY: The men's team bookends the four-day period with its second game, playing host to Valparaiso at 7 p.m. There isn't going to be a period for Kansas Athletics like this one all year. There is a lot going on next weekend, but if you take advantage of this one, you can see everything and still have your own fun. Thanksgiving is still weeks away, so this is what you get. Dig in. FOOTBALL Edited by David Cawthon Former Husker Gill focusing on game, not homecoming BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com 25 12 11 Coach Turner Gill's accomplishments as starting quarterback at Nebraska in the early 1980s speak for themselves. He went to three Orange Bowls, never lost a conference game and nearly won the Heisman Trophy in 1983. He was also named to the Big Eight's All-Decade team for the 1980s. After his playing days were over, he worked at Nebraska until 2004, coaching for three national title teams and Heisman winner Eric Crouch in 2001. "This game is not about me," he said. "It's about the players and that is the truth of it all." He added, "...you try not to get caught up in all the outside things that are happening." Nearly 20 years of his life were spent in Lincoln, winning championships and continuing the storied tradition of the Nebraska football program. Even now, at But when the red sea of over 85,000 fans welcome their former star back Saturday at 6 p.m., Gill's "not about me" attitude might be stalled, for a few minutes at least. "I'm sure it's going to hit him when he walks onto the field in front of those fans," offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. "I know it's probably going to send a wave of emotion through him." Kansas, he's his hired fellow former Huskers to his staff. Kansas coaches Buddy Wyatt, Aaron Stamn and Joe Dailey all have ties to Nebraska. Maybe that is true.

"I'm sure it's going to hit him when he walks onto the field in front of those fans." Turner Gill runs the ball against Louisiana State in the 1983 Orange Bowl in Miami. First-year coach Gill is leading his layhawks to Nebraska this weekend to face the No. 8 Cornhuskers. Gill played quarterback at Nebraska from 1980 to 1983 and was a finalist for the Heisman trophy in 1983. He also coached at Nebraska in 1990 as a graduate assistant, then again from 1992 to 1904 as a quarterback coach and assistant head coach. But even with all the ties he has to both schools, Gill doesn't want this week to be about him. Gill insists the major storyline won't affect his preparations this week. Nebraska enters Saturday's game No. 8 in the BCS standings with an CHUCK LONG Offensive coordinator GAMEDAY|78 Jayhawks face low expectations 8-1 record and a top 20 defense. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini is in his third year in Lincoln, and he and Gill coached one year at Nebraska together. "I had an opportunity to coach with him at Nebraska and saw firsthand how he goes about doing his business and how he's able to put together a very good defensive scheme on each opponent," Gill said. Pelini, a former defensive coordinator, has improved the Husker ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO Take a look at a rundown of the players and predictions for Saturday's game at p.g.m. in Lincoln, Neb. defense every year, finishing seventh in the country in total defense last season. Before its historic fourth quarter against Colorado, the Kansas offense had been mediocre for most of the year, only averaging 20 points a game. While the Jayhawks have faced five Big 12 teams already, they haven't seen a defense like Nebraska's this season. Gill announced that Quinn Mecham will start on Saturday night. Mecham has thrown three touchdowns the last two weeks, and Gill said he deserves another opportunity to start. "At this point in time I think he's earned the starting spot," Gill said. "His poise has been very high, and he's also been able to execute the offense." Gill stressed the need for ball security and good execution by his offensive players if they want to be successful Saturday night. Last week's victory over Colorado was a monumental win for the Jayhawks, no question about it. But a win for Gill against his former school and life-long mentor as 35-point underdogs would be much bigger. Gill, however, still insists this is just like any other game. "This is just about Nebraska playing Kansas," he said, "and we are trying to do the best we can to win a football game."

Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Before Tuesday's 90-point performance, what was the fewest amount of points scored in an exhibition game for Kansas? A: 84 points against Carleton University on Aug. 30,2008 — Kansas Athletics MORNING BREW Amateur drama rife in college Another year, another wave of scandals involving the amateur status of college athletes. This season has been especially rife with controversy, even involving something thought to be resolved more than five years ago. more than 29 years ago. In 2005, Reggie Bush was far and away the best player in college football. Anyone who can make Matt Leinart look like a competent quarterback, let alone help him get drafted in the top ten of the NFL, deserves considerable recognition. BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway.kansan.com twitter.com/epadway This summer, the NCAA determined that Bush received improper gifts from an agent while at the University of Southern California. Bush was stripped of all of his accomplishments, and ultimately sent his 2005 Heisman Trophy back to the trust. Officials from the Heisman Trust were the only ones who handled this situation with any amount of class. They decided because so much time had passed since the 2005 NCAA football season, they could not rightfully give Bush's award to any other player. Instead of cheapening the award, the 2005 Heisman will remain vacant. Most recently, 2010 Heisman front runner Cam Newton has come under fire for allegations that he was trying to arrange a deal where he would sign with Mississippi State for a large sum of money. Less than a week later, news broke that he had allegedly cheated academically while at the University of Florida, where he played for a year and-a-half starting in 2007. All this hits home for students at the University of Kansas. Superstar freshman Josh Selby is still waiting to hear whether or not he will be allowed to play this year because of contact with a business manager who helped him through his recruitment process. This story first broke months ago, yet the NCAA has still not made a ruling. THE MORNING BREW Maybe now is the time to make a change. Every year these scandals worsen. Some say it would be best to give the players back some of the money they are earning for the school. The biggest case for this centers on the use of athletes' likenesses in video games. If you have ever picked up a copy of an NCAA football game, it is clear that all the players in the game are modeled closely after their on-field counterparts. With professional sports games such as Madden NFL, the players' unions give permission for the players' likenesses to be used, and the players receive compensation. the players receive competitions. I am not advocating giving college players multi-million dollar contracts to play at schools. They already receive one of the greatest gifts someone can get, a free education. But when it comes to student athletes messing up, we have to remember who these athletes are: kids. And while they should be reprimanded for their mistakes, it's more important that we teach them why what they did was wrong. That all starts with holding the coaches to a higher level of ethics when it comes to recruiting. If the coaches conduct themselves with upstanding behavior, maybe they will instill those values in their players. Edited by Dana Meredith Stanford's Big Three might add up to another trip to the Final Four. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Stanford could go to Final Four again careers. The Cardinal women's basketball team begins its quest for a fourth consecutive trip to that illustrious stage when it opens Sunday at Maples Pavilion against Rutgers. To get there, No. 3 Stanford will lean heavily on junior Nneka Ogwumike and seniors Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen — all have yet to miss a Final Four in their Stanford "I know a lot of coaches at this point like to downplay their team," said VanDerveer, starting her 25th season at Stanford. "But we have high expectations and I'm not afraid to talk about them." The Cardinal has been picked to win its 11th consecutive Pac-10 Conference title because of the blend of experience and new talent. The usually circumspect VanDervege gave her team an A+ for October. The unbridled excitement is surprising considering Stanford lost All-America center Jayne Appel and leading defender Rosalyn Gold-Onwude to graduation. Also, senior guard Melanie Murphy won't be ready until January after undergoing microfracture surgery in the spring. surgery in the spring. The three factored into Stanford's 36-2 record last season that included a 53-47 defeat to UConn in the NCAA final after the Cardinal led 20-12 at halftime. Nneka Ogwumike, Pedersen and Pohlen aren't talking about national titles yet because, as good as they are, they know they can't do it alone. Stanford's leaders spent as much time helping integrate teammates over the summer as improving their already sizable skills.

The Jayhawks won the game 80-46. Henrickson hopes to fix minor mistakes versus South Dakota BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com After two exhibition victories, the Jayhawks have figured out what they need to work on across the court. The two points of focus for the season so far have been defense and preventing turnovers. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said the team has talent at every position, but loses possessions and therefore loses its chance to score. Booqaard "We can't turn the ball over Amy Kubert because that has just been painful for everyone who has watched us the last couple years," Henrickson said. Senior forward Krysten Boogaard sees the need for improvement on a smaller level as well. "I think that we need to focus on getting better for the next game especially," Boogaard said. "Focus on making sure that we aren't making those little mistakes that we have been making, manning the ball and helping out the freshman guards around us." With four freshmen who are all guards, helping them has been a responsibility for the entire team. "I am considered an upper classman or a returner as a sophomore, and we have four freshmen so it was my job and Angel's job and Marisha's job as returners to make sure they were prepared," sophomore guard Monica Engelman said. "These games help the freshmen get their nerves out and I think everyone is ready," Mays said. ors. Junior forward Amber Hegge was named to the first team, junior center Jodie Boss to the second team and sophomore guard Alexis Yackley received an honorable mention. Hegge led the team last season averaging 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds. She also led with 34 blocks, 78 assists and a field goal percentage of 54.3 percent. Freshman guard Keena Mays said the exhibition games were helpful for the freshmen. — Edited by Lisa Curran Mays feels ready, and is looking forward to starting the regular season with South Dakota.

"Jacory's won a lot of games at the University of Miami. That's what people don't realize," Shannon said. "He's what can you do for me now?

KANSAS VS LONG WOOD LONGWOOD 6B SPORTS / FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM COLLEGE FOOTBALL Player says Cam Newton's father put price tag on son MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE AUBURN, Ala. — Kenny Rogers, the former Mississippi State player who allegedly sought money from his alma mater to deliver Cam Newton's services last year, said on a radio show Thursday that it was not him, but the quarterback's father, Cecil, who put a price tag on his son during the recruiting process. during the race Rogers said Cecil told him it would take "anywhere from $100,000 to $180,000" to get the quarterback to sign with Mississippi State. Rogers said he relayed the request to Bill Bell, a Mississippi State booster. Bell confirmed Rogers' account to ESPN.com Thursday night, saying he spoke to an NCAA investigator about the matter earlier this week. it's extra benefits. Newton ultimately signed with Auburn on Dec. 31 last year. the matter earlier According to the NCAA, a violation is committed the moment an athlete or athlete's family solicits extra benefits. Auburn has maintained all week that its Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback remains eligible for Saturday's game against Georgia. NCAA rules say a school must make a determination about whether a student-athlete is ineligible. Rogers said he did not have any involvement with Auburn and said he had "no idea" if similar requests were made of the school or if anyone acted on them. Auburn declined comment through spokesman Kirk Sampson. Cecil Newton could not be reached. Coach Gene Chizik was not asked about the Newton situation during his weekly Tiger Talk radio program. It's the latest twist in the Newton saga, which began eight days ago when ESPN.com reported ex-Mississippi State quarterback John Bond said a former teammate claiming to represent the Newton family's interests told him it would take $180,000 for the quarterback to sign with the Bulldogs. ESPN identified that person as Rogers. Take your courses with you. Sprint The Now Network Discover the freedom of learning on the go with Blackboard Mobile Learn on Sprint.

They are No. 8 in the BCS standings with a 7-1 record, and control their own destiny in regards to the Big 12 North crown. PLAYER TO WATCH Junior quarterback Quinn Mecham The 85,000 screaming fans in Lincoln's Memorial Stadium will be a bit of a culture shock for Mecham, who's only road game was in Ames two weeks ago. Coach Turner Mecham Gill liked the quarterback's poise and execution last Saturday and said his performance led to being named starter against Nebraska. QUESTION MARK Can the Kansas offense pick up where it left off? After three lackluster quarters offensively, the KU offense caught fire en route to the upset of Colorado. However, this Nebraska defense is better than any they've seen all year. BY THE NUMBERS 102 The Kansas offense is currently 102nd in the nation in scoring. 20 Bo Pelini's Husker defense is only giving up 19 points per game. They are the 20th best defense in the country. NEBRASKA NOTES A quick glance at the Jayhawks and the Cornhuskers COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF GAME DAY KANSAS AT NEBRASKA 6 p.m., Saturday, MEMORIAL STADIUM, Lincoln, Neb. OFFENSE KANSAS 3-6(1-4 Big 12) Quinn Mecham will once again start for Kansas on Saturday. Mecham has thrown three interceptions and three touchdowns in two starts this season. Gill said he has earned the starting spot this week, even with Jordan Webb been cleared to play. DEFENSE Mike Koch The Jayhawk defense buckled down in the second half against Colorado, only giving up 10 points after another disastrous first half. Sophomore safety Lubbock Smith is injured and will be out for Saturday's game. Turner Gill labeled Smith as doubtful on Tuesday, and confirmed on Wednesday that Smith won't be playing this weekend. Mecham SPECIAL TEAMS Even after missing the Iowa State game for an undisclosed suspension, kick returner D.J. Beshears still leads the team in all-purpose yards with 914 on the season. He's averaging 114 yards per game to go along with his four touchdowns for the year. TREVOR CABRAL COACHING Smith NICKI MCGEE Bo Pelini has improved the Nebraska defense every year he's been there, and is looking to win the Big 12 North one more time before Nebraska leaves for the Big Ten next year. Turner Gill has had a rough first year in Lawrence with a few bright spots along the way. Beshears PETER SALOMON Gill MOMENTUM Since losing to Texas on Oct. 16th, Nebraska has won three straight games, improving its record to 8-1 and putting the Cornhuskers in first place in the Big 12 North. Kansas looks to keep the offensive momentum going after last Saturday's historic 35-point fourth quarter against Colorado. Kory Carpenter KANNAX Bradley McDougald JAMES KLEMENS BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF... BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF... The Jayhawks have a shot to win in the fourth quarter. A win might be too much to ask, but a close game against a team like Nebraska shouldn't hurt any players' confidence levels moving forward. The oddsmakers are right. Kansas is 35-point underdogs for Saturday's game, so obviously no one believes this game will be close. NEBRASKA 8-1 (4-1 Big 12) OFFENSE M. Martinez The Cornhuskers are led by freshman sensation Taylor Martinez. He is the first ever Nebraska freshman to start a season at quarterback. He has already collected numerous Nebraska freshman records and has collected many national honors this season. He suffered an ankle injury against Missouri two weeks ago and sat out last weekend against Iowa State. However, he is expected t against Kansas. against Iowa State. However, he is expected to start this week against Kansas. Amukamara DEFENSE PETER E. DUNN The Nebraska defense features senior cornerback Prince Amukamara. He was named First-Team Preseason All-American and First-Team Preseason All-Big 12 by many national publications. ESPN college football insider Todd McShay predicted yesterday that Amukamara would be the fifth overall draft choice in the 2011 NFL A. K. MAYER Henery Draft. This year he has 36 tackles and 10 pass breakups. Junior linebacker Lavonte David leads the team with 96 tackles, including three sacks. SPECIAL TEAMS Senior Alex Henvery is both the kicker and the punter. He was named as the First-Team All-Big 12 as a punter by both the Kansas City Star and ESPN.com. He was named to the First-Team All-Big 12 as a place kicker by the Dallas Morning News and Rivals.com. He was the Nebraska Special Teams MVP MANUEL RICO the last two years. This year he is 11-12 on field goal attempts, including 4-4 between 40 and 49 yards and a season long 52 yards. Pelini COACHING The Cornhuskers are coached by third year head coach Bo Pelini. Pelini had previously been the defensive coordinator for LSU, Oklahoma and Nebraska. He is 28-9 as head coach at Nebraska. He has led Nebraska back into national prominence largely because of a drastically improved defense. This year the Cornhuskers rank 20th in the country in points against 20th in the country in points against, allowing an average of 19.1 points per game. MOMENTUM The 8-1 Huskers are coming off a close 31-30 overtime victory at home last weekend against Iowa State. They have won their last three games and only have one loss this season, a 20-13 home loss to Texas. They are ranked eighth in the country by the BCS. Max Vosburgh PREDICTION PLAYER TO WATCH NU KICKOFF AT A GLANCE This is it. The Jayhawks and Huskers have played 104 straight times, the longest uninterrupted series in college football. Next season Nebraska will leave for the Big Ten. This game also is Turner Gill's return to Nebraska. Gill played at Nebraska and returned in 1992 and was the quarterback's coach for ten years. He later became an assistant head coach and the wide receivers coach until 2005 when he left to become an assistant coach for the Green Bay Packers. The Connhuskers will be looking to beat Kansas and win out the rest of the season in hopes of eventually winning the Big 12 and heading to a BCS bowl game. Senior running back Roy Helu, Jr. Senior running back Roy Helu yards and nine touchdowns this season for Nebraska. After rushing for 307 yards and breaking a Nebraska rushing record against Helu CANADA'S HEALTH CARE SUPPLIER QUESTION MARK Missouri two weeks ago, he ran for 99 yards and one touchdown last week against Iowa State. He has a rushing touchdown in all but two of the Cornhuskers' games this season. With Bo Pelini wanting to impress voters with a big win and Tom Osborne not wanting to embarrass his close friend Gill too bad, if Nebraska gets up big, who wins out, coach or athletic director? It should be interesting to see if Pelini calls off the dogs earlier than normal. Will Nebraska take it easy on Turner Gill? Turner Gill is a beloved figure in Nebraska football history and Nebraska fans still love him today. The Cornhuskers are clearly the more talented team and they could have their way with the Jayhawks if they wanted. However, Nebraska may have too much respect for Turner Gill and could decide not to run up the score on him. BY THE NUMBERS 10 Points Kansas lost by last time they played Nebraska in Lincoln.

KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Kansas scheduled a perfect first game for what will be a more uptempo style than last season. Longwood was one of the fastest teams, with regards to tempo, in all of the NCAA last year. That doesn't mean they were any good, though. The independent Lancers finished the season 12-19 and missed out on any postseason play. A major reason? They allowed 1.10 points per possession, 321st in the NCAA. If the Jayhawks hit their outside shots, it will be a rout. If they don't, well, it will probably be a rout anyway. PLAYER TO WATCH Travis Releford Releford has a chance to lay claim to the fifth starting spot, which is still sort of up for grabs. Self would like to get a bigger body at the three (as would most Balsford coaches) to create some matchup problems size-wise. That would be Little (listed at 6-foot-6, 218) or Releford (6-6, 207). Releford played an excellent 23 minutes agaisnt Emporia State Tuesday, hitting his first five shots and scoring 12 points to go along with three rebounds. He's not an excellent outside shooter by any means, but he did hit his only attempt Tuesday and spent most of his redshirt season last year working on his jump shot. If he can knock down his open looks, the spot should be his. Who will take the outside shots? QUESTION MARK It probably won't be Tyshawn Taylor, who has hit less than 34 percent of his threes in his career at Kansas. The Morris twins will take their open looks, but, as Tyrel Reed said, coach Self probably doesn't want his pair of 6-foot-9 twins jacking up three all the time. The duties should fall on senior guards Brady Morningstar and Reed, who both have made well over 40 percent of their career three-point attempts. Problem is, Reed is just 2-for-7 on the exhibition season and Morningstar is even worse at 0-for-5. HEARYE, HEARYE "The twins have been doing a good job. That's not their forte, and I don't think coach wants it to be their forte, but when they're open, definitely they've been knocking it down, so why not shoot it?" shootie — Tyrel Reed on the Morris twins shooting threes "Trust me, anybody that says they know, don't know. Because we don't have any idea yet." — Bill Self on Selby's eligibility COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY LONGWOOD LOWDOWN A quick glance at the Jayhawks and the Lancers KANSAS VS. LONGWOOD 7 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Taylor KANSAS 0-0 (0-0) STARTERS Mike Pandolfo Reed Tyshawn Taylor, guard If Taylor keeps up his excellent performance from the exhibition season (nine assists, three turnovers), he'll be the team's lead guard even if/when Josh Selby is cleared. Taylor will love playing against the uptempo Lancers, as his quickness translates best to an up-and-down, lots-of-possessions-per-team style of game. PETER T. KANE ★★★★☆ Releford Tyrel Reed, guard Reed is the team's best three-point threat — he alone among returning Jayhawks hit more than 20 threes last season — but he didn't show it off in the exhibition season, hitting just two of seven three-point attempts. It's a safe assumption that he'll turn it around, but if not, the Jayhawks will be in dire need of a consistent outside shooter at guard. ★★★☆☆ Morris Travis Releford, guard FREDERICK TAYLOR I have no idea who's starting at the three, honestly. It could be Releford, Mario Little or Brady Morningstar. Releford had the best exhibition season, though, courtesy of a 12-point breakout against Emporia State. For now, that gives him the starting nod in my book until there's concrete evidence against it. Releford is maybe the best Kansas City product since Brandon Rush. PETER PARKS Marcus Morris, forward Morris ★★★☆☆ There's been a whole lot said about Morris already this season. There will be a whole lot more. Morris will carry the scoring load this season for Kansas. Expect something between his 28-point outburst in game one and his middle-of-the-pack 12 points against Emporia State to be the pace this season. Markieff Morris, center ★★★★★ All Jayhawks not named Markieff Morris are shooting 4-of-28 from behind the three-point line. Morris, though, has knocked down all of his three attempts from outside. It's a dangerous facet of Morris' game, allowing him to stretch the floor against opposing bigs and use his athleticism to beat his man. PETER EWES ★★★★☆ SIXTH MAN Robinson Robinson is the best shot-blocker on the Kansas roster, but he still can't replicate the game-altering presence of Cole Aldrich, who's taken his talents to Bricktown. Robinson's defensive abilities are a product of his insane athleticism, and if he gets a step or two in help-defense, good luck getting a shot off. Thomas Robinson, forward ★★★☆☆ LONGWOOD 0-0(0-0) STARTERS Aaron Mitchell, guard D. Nileduwu Mitchell is the lone returning starter for Longwood. He averaged nine points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 28.1 minutes. He is a preseason All-Independent 2nd-Team by Lindy's College Basketball Edition. Last season was Mitchell's first at Longwood. He was at Manatee Community College in Sarasota, Fla. before that. Mitchell ★★★☆★★ Jeremiah Bowman,guard This is Bowman's first season at Longwood. He is transferred from Harcum College in Philadelphia. He is the Harcum career leader in assists (302), ranks second in steals (131), fifth in points (597) and sixth in rebounds (297). He averaged 11.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game last season at Harcum. MICHAEL BOWMAN ★☆☆☆ Bowman Durann Neil, guard Durham Neil, guards Neil started 30 of the 31 games for the Lancers during the 2008-2009 season averaging 7.1 points and 3.9 assists in 22.5 minutes. He missed all of last season and was declared a medical redshirt after he had offseason surgery. Neil ★★★☆★★ Jan van der Kooij, forward Jan van der Kooij (pronounced yawn van der coy) played in 19 games last season averaging 1.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists in 5 minutes. The Dutchman is most likely getting the start because of his size. He gets five stars for his name, but still has to prove it on the court. ★ ★ ★ ★ Antwan Carter, center 1 Carter is a small, but physical body inside. He averaged 14.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game a season ago in 25.1 minutes off the bench. He started 11 of the 31 games he appeared in. Carter has the ability to shoot from the outside (5-18 last season from behind the arc), but he shot 52.4 percent overall and 62 percent at the free throw line. Kooij ★★☆★★ SIXTH MAN Martiz Washington, guard Washington averaged 8.3 points per game last season in 22.3 minutes. He appeared in all 31 games while starting in 12 for the Lancers. He led the team last season in three-point field goals going 64-184 (.348). He averaged 12 points and three rebounds in the last eight games of last season going 26-55 (.473) from the three-point line. ★★★★ Carter Tim Dwyer Washington Mike Lavieri LU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE The Lancers were 12-19 a season ago and graduated four senior starters. This is the sixth season as a Division I program for Longwood. Like Emporia State, Longwood is a small team. Its tallest player is 6-foot-8 (freshman forward Jeff Havenstein). The Lancers have an up-tempo pace, scoring 0.95 points per possession a year ago, but they give up 1.1 points per possession on defense. This is Longwood's first time playing Kansas, but it is 0-3 all-time against Big 12 Conference schools. The Lancers are also 0-5 against nationally ranked opponents. A little fun fact about the Lancers is that they hail from Farmville, Va. Antwan Carter PLAYER TO WATCH Antwari Carter Carter was named the preseason Independent Player of the Year, All Independent 1st-Team and Best Rebounder by Lindy's College Basketball Edition. He was also named preseason All-Independent Team by Sporting News College Basketball Yearbook Head coach Mike Gullian says that Carter has been the most important contributor since Carter arrived in Farm- Carter Carter anivers in hum ville, Va. Carter will have the ability to have a larger impact and be one of, if not the main scorer, for this team, after losing last season's leading scorer, Dana Smith (18.2 points per game), to graduation. QUESTION MARK Will the three keep Longwood in the game? Longwood has made at least one three-point field goal in 239 consecutive games dating back to Nov. 26, 2002 on the road at Lenoir-Rhyne (Division II). The game-high during the streak is 16 against Campbell (Jan. 15, 2008). A season ago the Lancers made 12 against Fairleigh Dickinson (Feb. 2, 2010) and James Madison (Feb. 22, 2010). While the Lancers have had success behind the arc, the Jayhawk's length should prove to be too much of a challenge. The streak should continue, but it will not provide the upset unless the Lancers shoot lights out. HEARYE, HEARYE "The style is one of applying defensive pressure that makes it difficult on opponents and leads to them making mistakes, on the offensive end, allows us to play together in a smooth, flowing fashion that produces good scoring opportunities a lot of the time." Longwood coach Mike Gillian on what he envisions for the team's style of play in Longwood media guide.

The members pictured include, from left, bassist Brad Feagan, a sophomore from Oswego; saxophonist Scott Marks, a senior from Lawrence; keyboardist Austin Quick, a senior from Shawne; Epperson, a senior from Wichita; and rhythm guitarist JohnMarc Skoch, a senior from Hastings, Neb. The band, which will be perform in Lawrence on Dec. 2 at the Granada, is a finalist in the General Mills Battle for the Band Contest. Band battling for trip to L.A. BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Light brown and yellow leaves lie smashed under where the garage door seals against the driveway. Inside rests guitar cases, a saxophone stand, and enough amplifiers and speakers to rattle the house built above the garage on Lawrence Avenue in West Lawrence. This isn't the home of The Louisiana Street Band — the members just happened to be using the garage to practice over the weekend. This is a band born in Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, now poised to make the leap to Los Angles and win a recording session in the same place where Aretha Franklin and Dave Matthews Band have recorded past albums. The music they practice inside of that small Lawrence garage has already reached thousands of ears across the country through a national battle of the bands competition sponsored by General Mills. The top three vote recipients in the competition, called "U Rock! Battle for the Best," will travel to Los Angeles to perform in front of industry judges and the winner will get to record in Firehouse Recordings Studios. "That's a big deal," Evan Epperson, a senior from Wichita, said. "Basically all the recordings I've done have been in most disad-vantageous locations." The Louisiana Street Band had previously only recorded a list of about seven songs in their dorm rooms or the garage, which was on the verge of being invaded by fall leaves. Epperson is the lead guitarist and vocalist in the band. He had been trying to put together a group since arriving at the University, but the current form of the band has only existed for one year. The six current members came together for their first performance together in September for the Campus Battle of the Bands sponsored by Department of Student Housing, KU Dining Services and General Mills. The competition was judged by crowd noise. And the winner was slated to enter the national General Mills' contest. "I voted for Lucky Charms," Scott Marks joked while Epperson quickly agreed. Marks, a senior at Baker University, is the saxophonist for the band. He said it was obvious that their band had defeated the two other competing bands at Templin Hall. Voting for the "U Rock!" contest began on Oct. 29. The U ROCK! BATTLE FOR THE BEST Includes bands from nine different states. Voting open until Nov. 25 at www.rockyourcampus.com. You can vote once a day. The Louisiana Street Band will perform at The Granada on Dec. 2. Louisiana Street Band started the competition off in first place, but soon fell down in voting totals due to an apparent cheating scandal in the system. Some bands were receiving around five thousand votes each day. General Mills restarted the voting, and ever since then, The Louisiana Street Band has maintained the lead, almost doubling the second place band with 1,068 votes as of Sunday night. Austin Quick, a senior from Shawnee, said the band has a decently strong following here in Lawrence. "Someone at the Jazzhaus actually said it was pretty cool that our name was that." Quick said of his band's name, which was originally The Louisiana Street Voodoo Kings, "Because if you're not from Lawrence you're not going to really know." The band name also provokes a good sense of what their music sounds like, Epperson said. They originally began as a blues group, but have evolved into a classic rock — with a hint of Cajun — funk group. The members of the band have experience as varied as the group's musical style. Epperson said they could sound like a band from New Orleans. Marks has been classically trained in the saxophone, and he says that this group really allows for each member's talents and personalities to show through in their music. Voting is open on the contest's website until Nov. 25. Epperson said even if they don't win this competition, the amount exposure they received from this national competition is invaluable. Quick said there was a long future ahead of this band. "We hope to just keep going with it as high and as long as we can," Quick said. But for now they will practice in their garage in West Lawrence with Louisiana Street on their minds. — Edited by Clark Goble COMMUNITY|6A Students bring 'The Big Event' to Lawrence An annual project started by Texas A&M students, the event promotes a day devoted to improving the communities that surround universities.

A witness saw people from another car help Schlotterback flip his Subaru upright, and then he tried to drive away before police arrested him, Fultz said.

CAMPUS Food and housing fees may increase The University's annual food and housing fee increase proposals will go before the Kansas Board of Regents this week. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said the increases will coincide with the increase in cost of living. "We try and estimate what the increases for the coming year might be and I base my proposals off of that," Robertson said. The University is proposing a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees, or about $58 more for a traditional two person room. The increase is the lowest out of the six state universities. Kansas State is proposing an increase of 3.5 percent and Wichita State is proposing a 2.4 percent increase. The revenue is expected to help offset the increase in utilities, which Robertson said is a major part of housing's budget. It will also help pay for operating costs and maintenance. Employee insurance costs are expected to increase next year and the food and housing fee increase will help offset that as well, Robertson said. The $58 increase is lower than last years increase of $88 for a traditional double room. Robertson credits the lower increase amount to the deactivation of telephone lines in student rooms over the summer. The deactivation has saved about $500,000. "That allowed me to decrease the amount we needed to increase, if that makes sense," Robertson said. The Board of Regents will be giving the universities proposals an initial look at its meeting on Thursday in Topeka. If the regents approve the increased proposals, they would take effect as early as July 1. Angelique McNaughton Incident is not 'indecent exposure' CAMPUS BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com That's news to the reporting After two students reported that a man was watching porn and masturbating at Watson Library on Oct. 25, University police have forwarded the case to the University administration, according to a statement from Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office. "Unfortunately, the reported incident did not meet the strict requirements of the statute on indecent exposure," the statement said. "The complaint has been referred to the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success. However, any report from that office will not be public record." students — Dylan Kingsley, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., and Emily Preheim, a junior from Overland Park — who identified the man on a photo lineup. Although neither woman said they saw the man's penis, they did witness him looking at porn on a computer on the fourth floor of Watson Library, in a computer lab, and masturbating. When the man got up to leave, there was a stain on his chair and his pants. Kingsley said the police swabbed the stain on the chair for DNA. They said they last heard from police that the man would receive a notice to appear in court, and if he didn't, a warrant would be issued for his arrest. "I'm a little confused by it," Kingsley said about the statement. "What measure is actually being taken?" The women completed a two-week process of cooperating with the police's investigation, they said. After an unsuccessful initial photo lineup made from mugshots, police made a composite sketch with Preheim. From it, they said, police had a lead, and the man was identified on a second photo lineup made from driver's license pictures. The women said they're frustrated the many hours of cooperation — the composite sketch took Preheim three hours — didn't lead to legal action against the man, especially after police found him. "I think it's bullshit," Preheim said. "It was a waste of our time."

CAMPUS KU Memorial Unions add meeting services The KU Memorial Unions have introduced two new services: a collaborative computing space in the Burge Union and free meeting space in the Kansas Union. The collaborative space, called "media:scapeT" and located inside the "Collab" computer lab, allows students to share and see information instantaneously. Users connect their laptops to a retractable, puck-shaped button and become synced with all other computers connected. Furniture has also been repositioned to encourage a more collaboartive work environment. The lounge has both PC and Mac workstations with wireless Internet. ResNet customer service is available for any technological problems. The meeting space in the Kansas Union is located on the third level. Previously, free meeting space had only been available to student organizations and campus departments. "We saw a need for the KU community to meet outside of department or registered student organization affiliations and found a way to do it," said Lisa Kring, director of event services for the KU Memorial Unions. "Students need meeting space to work on group projects, gather for study sessions or perhaps a place to meet in hopes of starting a new student organization. Faculty members need space outside of their offices to collaborate with peers, students or graduate teaching assistants." Any students wishing to use media:scapeT must reserve the space online at union.ku.edu/ events and have a KU online I.D.

Each month, individuals and organizations tie for a spot on the company's website. The feed, delivered by a representative from Helping Hands Animal Food Pantry, came courtesy of the Pepsi Refresh Project, an online contest which funds ideas submitted by organizations and individuals across the country. Pepsi supplied money to purchase the food after voters across the nation picked the local animal food bank to receive a $5,000 grant in October. The animal food pantry is a good example of the kinds of ideas Pepsi hopes to nurture, Pepsi spokeswoman Allison Arieff said in an e-mail response to questions about the project. Pepsi is also hoping to foster hope in troubled times and provide money to grow ideas into actions, she added. The program is designed to support individuals and organizations across six categories -- health, arts and culture, food and shelter, the planet, neighborhood and education, she noted. tion, she notes.

The top ideas are featured on leader boards. leader boards. Contestants can urge friends, coworkers, family and even other organizations to vote for them. organizations to vote for her.

Abandoned, starving animals are a huge problem in the country. In the meantime, small organizations such as Helping Hands Animal Food Pantry will likely continue to get creative when it comes to raising revenue. In an interview this fall, Cooke County Judge John Roane said he knew all about the animal problem, but admitted the already-financially-challenged country couldn't do much about it. Arieff said Pepsi Refresh was one place to start "The project was built on the belief that great ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, anytime." ALLISON ARIEFF Pepsi spokeswoman place to start. "It's been everything from a group of military moms creating care packages for active troops (Molly's Adopt A Sailor) to Bike & Build, Inc., where teams rode their bikes across the U.S., building affordable housing and raising both money and awareness along the way, to a small non-profit that provides a dignified way to provide food to school kids who have little to eat on the weekends (5 Loaves 4 Kids)." she said. "Ideas within other categories have ranged from financial literacy training for minority students to building community playgrounds, improving equipment in science classrooms and providing musical instruments for the underserved." instruments for the use Pepsi and its partner Global Giving screen applications to make sure they meet contest requirements and that the programs are implemented as proposed, Arieff said. "This process is being used to clarify and hone each idea, and as a way to filter ideas that are inappropriate or illegal," she said.

You betcha. Are both women sassy brunettes who love droppin' their consonants just for laughs? Oh, fer sure. But on Tuesday night, before a large crowd at the Kennedy Center in Washington, "Saturday Night Live" cast member Seth Meyers pointed out one major difference between Fey and the would-be vice president she has spoofed many times on TV: "Tina won something." Tina won something. That "something" was the Mark Twain Prize for Humor, an honor that that's been bestowed upon such comedy greats as Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal and Bill Cosby. And Fey, who attended the ceremony with her husband and parents, paid tribute to the former governor of Alaska in her acceptance speech.

Chairman David Rubenstein kicked off the night by announcing that Fey's event had raised $1.3 million, the largest total in the prize's history. Fred Armenis of "SNL" couldn't resist joking about the big bucks she makes as a noted funnywoman. He estimated that she'd raked in $60 million for her movie "Baby Mama" alone.

Do you even remember? I don't remember much of mine, but I do know it was the sort of stereotypical shoddy "education" taught by a bored gym coach in our required semester-long health class where we had more movies than tests. It involved not much more than sterile memorization of sex organs and a brief rundown of scarily-depicted STDs, a competent educator's nightmare. If we learned about contraception or even abstinence I can't recall. To ninth grade me, this might have seemed fine as I was embarrassed enough already by that sort of thing and too nerdy and awkward at the time to think about much more than books and friends. To slightly older (but no less nerdy and awkward) me though, the scenario I, and I'm sure most of you, experienced is problematic. We are living in a curious time, to say the least. On one hand, we are presented with highly sexualized images and messages from the time we can walk, and yet on the other hand, sexuality education remains a point of contention with politicians and school boards and a point of embarrassment with our parents. It's acknowledged, then, that as people we are sexual beings, but we aren't supposed Priyanka Arora Progressive Perspective BY ALI FREE to talk about it. The people who could give us factual and useful information—well-trained teachers, people who specialize in the field—aren't given a real voice. Potentially negative forces, like advertising and stereotyped masculine and feminine culture, fill in the gap left by our education system and do give us messages. These have real power to be harmful. For example, dominating images in the media and, unfortunately, in people's minds, still emphasize masculine virility and control and women's passivity. This helps perpetuate rape culture, just as continuous messages that the only valid relationship is heterosexual perpetuates sexual prejudice. Is it any wonder that in the areas where abstinence-only education is taught there are also some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy? According to a study released by the Guttnacher Institute, a non-profit group which released a study earlier in the year on teenage pregnancy. Abstinence education is not sexuality education—it could be one small part of it, but it's absolutely not the only option and information young people need to hear. A good sexuality education encompasses a lot of things: information on varied means of pregnancy prevention as well as on self-respect, abuse, empathy, peer pressure, etc. It would take into account the wide variety of sexual and gender orientations experienced by humanity, and take care to emphasize and respect informed personal choice of both men and women. These and more are all elements of a well-rounded curriculum. Sexuality is an important, far-reaching area of our lives to be developed, learned about, and explored. I am puzzled why developing this element of our beings is so much more controversial and left to chance than our intellect and physicality. With the enormous potential for harm due to poor sex ed, this is the last thing that should be left to chance. Sexuality education should be the responsibility of both schools and parents, both striving to fill the air with positive, well-rounded messages to counteract the everpervasive media.

ENDING THE MORTGAGE SUBSIDY NAT'L DEBT CAN HELP GET THE COUNTRY'S HOUSE IN ORDER NICHOLAS SAMBULAK GUEST COLUMN Memoir provides fresh insight Former President George W. Bush's new memoir "Decision Points" is a valuable and respectable insight into one of modern times' most controversial presidential administrations. Bush explores everything from the administration's response to hurricane Katrina to the economic crisis that began at the end of his term and has had lasting effects on President Barack Obama's term. Bush said he has a "sickening feeling" when he thinks about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and how that intelligence debacle resulted in false information and false motivations for the war. Throughout the memoir, Bush also details personal decisions and family memories from his time as our nation's leader. He opens the book talking about his alcoholic tendencies — something most private individuals don't admit to their family, much less something former figureheads admit to the entire world. First, being able to admit to the international community that you were wrong takes guts. The explanations and the apologies in "Decision Points" deserve a certain amount of respect from all ---Republican or Democrat He held arguably the hardest job in American politics for eight years and endured domestic, international and personal battles throughout that time. Bush made an effort to describe what he was feeling the day the Twin Towers of Manhattan and the Pentagon were struck by planes in 2001 and how he was presented with information and what constructed his decision-making process. By admitting to his greatest failures, Bush opens doors for new discussions about his presidency and current issues, such as the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan and the economic crisis. The memoir was released immediately following the midterm elections, when Republicans swept the House and made a mighty comeback to the national political stage. Now Bush, the epicenter of many of their pre-midterm problems, has publicly displayed what went wrong. In the memoir, Bush tries to understand what went wrong at different times in presidency, possibly helping future generations learn from their mistakes. In contrast, the memoir came out when Democrats are facing major setbacks locally and nationally, and many representatives and senators lost the election for merely associating with the politics Bush could have tried to hide or ignore the mistakes he made by simply maintaining his stoic silence after he left office in 2008. of Obama or soon-to-be former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi How this book is received nationally, and how Bush is received on his book tour, could give an indication to election results in 2012 but more importantly, it could reflect the very nature of Americans. Will the majority still consider him an utter failure or will they finally understand Bush's side? It is safe to say he did not assume the role of America's president in order to throw our economic system into chaos and to wreak havoc on the international system, too. Bush's term ended poorly for him and he could do nothing but wait out the wave of criticism until he was out of office. This memoir will tell us much of his life, his struggles, his success and his decisions during the presidency. But, more importantly, it could teach a majority of Bush-haters that many of the mistakes that happened were not made maliciously or with the intent to destroy our country. Bush's book will be one to learn from and one that will provide an inside perspective on the slips and falls of the Bush administration during its uphill, eight-year rise and fall. The Lariat at Baylor University. HUMOR Turkeys must be stopped before Thanksgiving mutiny Next week, President Obama will make a decision that will go completely unchallenged. Nobody will stop to consider the ramifications of such a choice. Not even Obama's biggest enemies in Congress. When Obama pardons a turkey on Thanksgiving, people will play it off as a quirky, lighthearted tradition. If only they knew just how dangerous that turkey could be. "But Alex," you might be saying, "turkeys are dumb, flightless birds. They're not dangerous at all!" And that's just what the turkeys want you to think. It's a facade. A subterfuge. Another big word. Turkeys drown themselves by looking at the sky during a rainstorm to make you think they're too dumb to harm you. But they're not filled with rain. They're filled with hate. And they're going to use that hate to someday rise up and overthrow the human American government. It doesn't take a genius to realize that turkeys hate America. Why wouldn't they? Turkeys have been the victims of a delicious genicide since 1620, when the Pilgrims came to America in search of cool new best friends. Ever since that first Thanksgiving, turkeys have been slaughtered by the millions each year, all in the name of America's supposed superiority. Don't think just because they lack the ability to communicate that they aren't getting organized. The turkey rebellion is upon us. Rumblings have already begun. Earlier this year, a gang of turkeys terrorized a neighborhood in Athens, Georgia. One resident, Carol Herzog, "felt like a prisoner in her own house," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. These plump turkey gangs will no doubt begin to succulently organize and rain down juicy, tender justice on neighborhoods across the country. America Under Observation BY ALEX NICHOLS must prepare for the worst this Thanksgiving, and I don't mean the Dallas Cowboys. We can't just pretend that this is just some insane conspiracy theory invented by a college newspaper columnist because has a deadline and no other ideas. If we don't take this threat seriously, soon we will all be trapped in a prison of fear. Let's not pretend that this hasn't happened before, either. Who can forget the Independence Day Hot Dog Revolt of '97, when cows, pigs and chickens combined forces to invade the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest, trampling and pecking twenty onlookers to death in a disgusting-yet tasty amalgam of horror and bloodlust. In 2002, the PLO (Pretzel Liberation Organization) tried to assassinate President Bush while he watched an NFL playoff game, nearly choking him to death. And last year, I got sick after drinking some milk I had previously insulted. Food is in constant search of revenge, and turkeys are no different. This is why Obama must break with tradition and not pardon a turkey, but kill it himself. He must show America that he's not soft on the greatest threat facing America today (besides old people). Then he should declare war on Turkey, just to cover all his bases. If he doesn't, we'll be the ones getting stuffed on Thanksgiving Day. Nichols is a senior from Stilwell in creative writing. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vaccination not always right option Wednesday's flu article claimed that the reasoning behind the decrease in flu clinic attendance is because of laziness or forgetfulness. I don't think this is the case for most people I know that actively choose not to get a flu shot. How else do we build immunities other than being exposed to disease and developing the antibodies to destroy it? I understand this as the concept behind vaccination infect people with a mild strain so they'll develop the correct antibodies to protect themselves. This is a remarkable triumph of human ingenuity but where the flu shot is concerned, I feel we've gone too far. There are definitely diseases that humans should be vaccinated against but the flu is only deadly for those with weakened immunities: children, elderly, sick folks. These people should be vaccinated. Public Health workers and pregnant women can also benefit from a flu shot. However, giving able-bodies preventative medicine helps create super-bugs, or microorganisms that evolve to become resistant to antibiotics. The flu shot vaccinates against a few certain strains that we hope will be the same strains circulating the population at the time. Sometimes the strains in the vaccine match the strains of the season, other times not. This means that even if you do get vaccinated, you can still get the flu because the vaccine they gave you didn't include the strain that you just happened to get. If this is the case, the flu you become infected with now has access to a few different strains from your vaccine, can mutate and spread to other people as a different strain than the flu you got, or the flu(s) you were vaccinated against. We are so afraid of getting sick that we end up making ourselves sicker in the end; be it hand-sanitizing our way to a crippled immune system, or preventatively vaccinating and accidently creating bigger, badder viruses.

The day, which this year falls on Saturday, is a worldwide recognition of transgender people killed by hate crimes. In regards to the recent prominent LGBT suicides in the country such as that of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi - Queers and Allies along with the LGBT Resource Center, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Counseling and Psychological Services, will also recognize transgender suicides this year. Joel Layton, a senior from Overland Park and a member of Queers and Allies, said the events addressed different aspects of being transgender, or a transgender ally, in the United States. A transgender person is someone who identifies with or expresses a gender identity different from assigned at that person's birth. sons birth. Layton said the murder rate of transgender people was high — one out of every 1,000 murders in the United States is a hate crime against a transgender person, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In addition, according to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, which was hosted by the National Center for Transgender Equality, 41% of transgender people surveyed who were in school said they had attempted suicide, which is 25 times the national average. "So there is obviously reason to remember those who are dead, and try to use that memory to make a better world for present and future transgender people," Layton said. He said students should not be afraid to attend the events this week. Layton said the purpose of the week's events was to teach people, not scare them. Layton said that just as students at the University paid attention to racism and sexism they should do the same for transgender issues. "Don't think that you wouldn't belong, don't think we wouldn't want you there if you are interested at all," he said. "Transgender people have things that they can teach non-transgendered people," Layton said. "I think we could all grow by what they can share with our 'straight' society." Edited by Dana Meredith TODAY: Transgender sensitivity workshop The Office of Multicultural Affairs will host a faculty and staff workshop on transgender people and transgender sensitivity. The workshop addresses the need for the University to uphold its recent decision to include gender identity and expression in the Non-Discrimination Policy. The workshop will take place at the Sabatini Multicultural Resource center from noon to 1 p.m. WEDNESDAY: "Speak Up!" This workshop is a response to the recent prominent suicides in the LGBT community. It aims to teach participants about transgender prejudices and how to prevent them. It will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Hashinger Hall. THURSDAY: "Trans Talk" A panel of transgender people will discuss the prejudices, ignorance and misinformation that often surrounds transgender people.

Police closed off a block near the popular tourist spot around 5 p.m. Saturday so investigators could take a closer look at the device. It turned out to be a replica. The area was reopened around 6:15 p.m. The juggler was detained, but a police spokesman did not know if he had been arrested.

The Jayhawks started their regular season Sunday against South Dakota. WWW.KRSAN.COM PAGE 1B FIRST IMPRESSIONS Can Markieff shine again? The junior forward stuffed the stat sheet, but he can't carry the load all season BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Friday night was one heck of a game by that twin fellow. Not Marcus Morris, though. Well, he didn't play bad. But Markieff Morris was the star of the show (with a nod to Tyshawn Taylor as best actor in a supporting role) as the Jayhawks scored the most points in a game since Bill Self took over at Kansas in a season-opening 113-75 rout of the the Longwood Lancers. Markieff stuffed the stat sheet with a 14-point, 15-rebound, five-assist, four-steal, two-block performance. There aren't a lot of stat lines like that, which require you to catch your breath if you read it in one go. If Markieff can continue his stellar play, starting tonight against Valparaiso, the Jayhawks will have one of the top frontcourts in the country. dangerous offensive team, and the Jayhawks will have to find an answer to their defensive struggles. "They share the ball well," Self GAME DAY | 8B Kansas has allowed all three opponents it has faced this year, including the exhibition season, to shoot better than 40 percent from the field.

"For a guy to get 14, 15, five and two, that's a pretty good statistical game," coach Bill Self said. "Especially when he only played 26 minutes."

He'll have to continue putting up numbers like that, starting Monday against Valparaiso's relatively tall lineup.

FOOTBALL Longtime rivalry ends in ugly loss, 20-3 BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com LINCOLN, Neb. — The nation's longest uninterrupted college football series came to an end Saturday night in Lincoln. Kansas and Nebraska have played annually on the gridiron since 1906, yet it was never much of a rivalry. The No. 9 Cornhuskers' 20-3 victory pushed their record to 91-23-3 against the jayhawks, who last won in Lincoln in 1968. Because no one really expected a close game to finish off the rivalry, the Turner Gill storyline was harped on all week. Gill wasn't much help in that regard, however, playing down the significance of his return to Nebraska's Memorial Stadium where he was a legacy in the 1980s. "We came into the stadium about 11 this morning, just to have my team come in," Gill said. "There was a little bit of awkwardness for me to come into the stadium on the other side, being here as an opponent versus being on the same side." Atter the loss, however, Gill spoke about his emotional return. The running game wasn't much better, tallying a mere 72 yards on the night.

Jeff Withey plays well even on hurt ankle The sophomore center said his right foot, the one in its recovery stages after being broken in September, was sore in practice all week. Coach Bill Self said he planned for Withey to play for only a couple minutes against Longwood on Friday. Instead, Withey said it was feeling good. He ended up on the court for 12 minutes, racking up eight points, two steals and a block that sent the ball flying dangerously fast into the stands. "Now when he says he can't do it, he won't have a built-in excuse." Self said. Withe knew it was a joke, of course. But there was a bit of truth to that statement. We know what he can do, so let's see some more. "He knows I'm hurt, but I'm sure he does expect it." Withey said in response to his coach's statement. "I expect it from myself." Just imagine what he could do when he's healthy. Withey said he was about a week away from being 100 percent, if not closer. And we're all guilty of it. When Withey was a senior in high school, he was the No. 36 player overall recruit according to Rivals.com, and the eighth best center. He sat out a semester at Kansas and has been injured quite a few times. Last season, he played behind Cole Aldrich during the second semester and never got integrated into the offense. Nobody has seen him play for an extended period of time in a long stretch of games. The guy was supposed to be pretty darn good. He's not necessarily Cole Aldrich, but a formidable seven-footer nonetheless. Double up on Marcus and Markieff Morris, and pay the price. Withey won't spot up for three like the twins do, but he is capable of dominating the middle. "Just pure adrenaline," he said. And get this: Withey played Friday night without any pain medication for his foot. Opposing teams need to adjust quickly to his presense. As the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson were each pumping out double-digit points. Withey was the crowd favorite. The crowd erupted when he took the court and it was especially boisterous after his dunk and block. This performance sent out an important message to Longwood and future Kansas opponents; Don't forget about leff. He came out Friday and stunned everyone. Against Emporia State the Tuesday before. Withey ran as slow as someone running from a killer in a nightmare. It was painful just to watch him and his recovering footleg. "A lot of people forgot about me, I guess," Withey said. "I don't mind it at all." 4 Edited by Clark Goble --- 2B SPORTS / MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15,2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "There are a lot of guys that can get 20 points every game, and that's without Josh (Selby). So it's just going to vary from game to game, and the points are going to be spread around." Junior forward Marcus Morris on the team's balanced scoring. FACT OF THE DAY Kansas has played Valparaiso twice; once in 1970 and again in 2002. Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the leading scorer the last time Kansas played Valparaiso? A: Drew Gooden with 30 points. Kansas Athletics A time when it was only a game MORNING BREW G Going back to my hometown to watch my old high school's football team compete in a playoff matchup was a nice break from the notonous toll of higher-level sports. In a sporting age where allegations and fines are as prevalent on SportsCenter as top plays, returning to my small town to watch some football reminded me of sports before they went bad. before they went bad. I didn't have to worry about a player being benched for allegations that he took money. Nobody was frowning on comments that a player made in a press conference; it was football with fewer complications. Holton is a town of 3,500 and supports the team like it's straight out of a movie. Fans line the sidewalk hours before games, making sure they have a good seat to watch the team that brings hope to the community. A sign that proclaims, "WE ARE HOLTON" rises above the opposing sideline, symbolizing the importance of the Wildcats to the town. After each game, a special moment occurs as fathers, previous players and others gather in the locker room, circling and holding hands as each coach says a little bit BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com about the game. THE MORNING BREW Saturday marked the 150th win for Holton's coach, Brooks Barta, who taught me about football, but more important, taught me lessons about life. It was nice to be back in this environment and watch a high school football game. I also enjoyed the intensity that comes with a playoff game in which both teams are trying to earn their way to the state championship, instead of trying to please the BCS gods into letting them play in the National Championship. They battle it out in a playoff system, which fairly gives teams a chance to play in the state championship. I hope the NCAA will wise up and eventually implement the playoff system, even if it is accompanied by a few bowl games. However, with the media coverage, amount of emphasis on coaches to win at all costs and many other factors, college football can't replicate the feel that high school games create. It's something that's hard to explain, but if you want to see for yourself, head to Topeka and go north on Highway 75 next fall. You'll see for yourself why that type of football is difficult to recreate. —Edited by Kelsey Nill THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY 五 Men's Basketball Valparaiso 7 p.m. Lawrence WEDNESDAY Skiing Volleyball Baylor 6 p.m. Lawrence Jumping Volleyball Texas A&M Corpus Christi 8 p.m. Lawrence FRIDAY 运动会 Volleyball Texas 6:30 p.m. Austin, Texas Men's Basketball North Texas 7 p.m. Lawrence FIELD HOCKEY Football Oklahoma State 11 a.m. Lawrence, Kan. 大 SATURDAY Wasinger qualifies to run in Nationals BY LAUREN NEWMAN Inewoman@kansan.com Neither cross country team qualified for the national championships at the Midwest Regional Championships on Saturday in Peoria, Ill.

Freshman forward Tania Jackson led the Jayhawks in scoring with 13 points. Jackson, who hit two threes Sunday, is one of two players on the team who has a green light from Henrickson to shoot from beyond the three point line. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Jackson got some open looks because of senior center Krysten Boogaard's play in the paint. "Just like today, Krysten is working hard and Tania is wide open because Tania's guy is down there with her, so we throw that to Tania because she spaces the defense and she can get up and score," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Once again, Kansas found success in its ball rotation and bench depth with every player seeing time on the court and scoring. "If we can get that kind of lead and not drop off then I think everyone today was able to bring something to the table whether on the offensive end or the defensive end," Henrickson said. The rotation takes pressure off of specific players when everyone can contribute. "I think it is really good that everyone can score, and we are going to need that coming off the bench, and we will need all of that to transfer knowing that everyone can make a basket and score it," sophomore Angel Goodrich said. The Jayhawks were more aggressive on defense and when fighting for loose balls. Kansas had 16 floor burns and took two charges in the win. "I thought defensively, we didn't start with the bounce we had against Washburn, but I thought a couple minutes into it we got it and dictated more where the penetration went," Henrickson said. Senior Marisha Brown emphasized the importance of creating offense from defensive plays. "I just try to get in the passing lane and stay intense because I don't want to take a play off, so I do whatever I can to help my team," Brown said. The team is still struggling with turnovers and ended the game with 16. Many of the turnovers were caused by miscommunication on passes "We were aggressive today and we had been in pretty good shape after the first two games we were positive assistant to turnover and we were sloppy with it today," Henrickson said. "We threw some things that weren't going to get there and we threw some things that should have been a shot." "I think we just need to be more cautious of where we throw it," Goodrich said. "I think we see it and then we pause and then we throw it and it is too late then. I think we need to just throw it when we see it and not wait." Goodrich thinks that the passing trouble can be fixed with more practice and more game situations. —Edited by Tim Dwyer KANSAS 5 Freshman guard Keena Mays is fouled by South Dakota forward Amber Hegge as she attempts a lay up. Mays finished with five points, dished out five assists and pulled down seven rebounds. Jerry Wang/KANSAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Freshman guard takes lead BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com She didn't have the most firsthalf minutes of this year's freshman class on Sunday, but Keena Mays's momentum-changing contributions in the first half earned the point guard even more play time during the second half. With only six first half minutes, Mays' energy was quickly realized by South Dakota coach Ryun Williams, who almost immediately called a timeout. The stall didn't slow Mays. In the next minute of play, Mays earned an assist, a defensive rebound and headed to the line after getting fouled while attempting to put back her own missed lapup. throw a better ball." "I produced more in the second half because I was still just getting my feet wet in the first," Mays said. "I played better defense in the second, but I still need to take better care of the ball." Making few rookie mistakes, she ended the game with five assists, seven rebounds and multiple deflections — but don't expect the humble freshman to bragg about it. Mays had five turnovers, most of which resulted from her hesitance to take the open jumper. Freshman nerves still plague her shooting confidence, leading her to opt for the extra pass over taking the shot. The layhawks struggled to get the ball inside and keep post-play active, something Mays said she's trying to work on in her own game. In keeping that focus, Mays made some passes she shouldn't have, but coach Bonnie Henrickson said she was proud of her eagerness to keep the posts involved. "I love that Keena was so aggressive, but some of those she just needs to take the shot and turn the guy she's trying to throw it into a rebounder." Henrickson said. "She sees it, but she's got to What might still be a work in progress on the offensive end, Mays made up for with a dynamic defensive performance. Mays' consistent help defense enabled her to grab six defensive rebounds. She said she was glad to have helped get the team moving with those rebounds that opened up fast break opportunities. and outcome of a game. "Having someone come in the game and do that to get us going just gives us a spark," Goodrich said. "She can do that every time she steps in the game because she has everything a point guard needs." Goodrich said right now, Mays needed to focus on being a little Her inexperience wasn't evident in the speed she used to push the ball up the floor. She said she loved playing a fast-paced game. Sharing the floor with "I played better defense in the second, but I still need to take better care of the ball" KEENA MAYS Freshman point guard teammate Angel Goodrich gave her team more of an opportunity to do so, she said. The two point guards took the floor together only a few times during the game, but Goodrich said she hoped it would happen more often. "If we get to play like that more and more, I'm going to get more excited because she sees a lot of things and keeps the ball moving," Goodrich said. Still, Goodrich said she hoped Mays would build confidence in her ability to change the game's momentum on her own. She said she believed Mays' first-half minutes were enough to prove the effect Mays can make on the pace Goodrich said she liked having the option to rely on Mays to take the point because it gave her more opportunities to play the shooting guard and look to score. Together, the two present a new threat: speed. While the inside game was largely overlooked in the South Dakota face-off, the pace of the game was recognizably quicker with Goodrich and Mays in the game. more saltie. While on the bench, Goodrich said she noticed Mays' unwillingness to risk a miss. She said she thought Mays would have fewer Goodrich said in practice, Mays was confident in her ability to knock down the open jumper, but hasn't showed the same initiative come game time. Against South Dakota, Mays was not only tentative to take the jump shot, but also shied away from open layup opportunities. "Keena gets to the rim a lot and she could easily score, but she tries to pass," said Marisha Brown, senior guard. turnovers as soon as she garnered the confidence to shoot instead of resort to a risky pass. Mays reluctance led her to score only five points, despite numerous opportunities to reach double-digit scoring. Still, her teammates are confident that with experience Mays will develop the self-assurance she needs to up her scoring contributions. "She's really impressing me a lot," Goodrich said. "She did make some freshman passes, but it'll come." Edited by Roshni Oommen 11 Quote of Game "The good news is we scored 73 points and we shot it well."

Grades Defense: The defense played well throughout the game, holding Nebraska to well under its season average of 37 points a game. Third down conversions were tough though, as the Huskers completed nine of their 17 third down attempts. The defense also dropped two interceptions, but overall the unit continued to show signs of improvement. B + Special teams: D.J. Beshears once again made his case that he might be the best offensive weapon for the Jayhawks. He returned five kicks for 139 yards, with a long of 45 yards. Jacob Branstetter was a perfect 1 for 1 on field goals, nailing a 42-yard kick in the third quarter. B. Coaching: Carl Torbush's defense showed improvements once again, holding Nebraska's offense to only 20 points. Chuck Long's offense was extremely conservative. Quinn Mecham's interception in the third quarter justified the play-calling, however. Mecham had D.J. Beshears open on a go route down field, but under threw him for an interception instead. A good pass could have led to a touchdown. Overall I give the coaches a B. Turning Point Mecham's third quarter interception should have been a touchdown. That would have shrunk the Nebraska lead to 17-7, but the offense couldn't get much else in the second half.

MUORE Strong defense makes for low-scoring game BY MAX VOSBURGH mvogsburgh@kansan.com A week after giving up 45 points to Colorado, the Jayhawk defense gave up only 20 points to one of the highest scoring offences in college football. Before the game against Kansas, the Husker offense was 14th in the country in points scored. Led by freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez, the Huskers scored an average of 37.1 points a game. Against Kansas, they were able to score only 20. keep the jayhawks in business. "Sometimes you have to hold people under certain points," Gill said. "And sometimes your offense doesn't play as well and you have to keep them off the board, but for the most part I think in most games you have a great opportunity to win this game." score only 20. Texas is the only defense that has held Nebraska to less than 20 points this season, and the only team to beat the Huskers this season. beat the Hussars in the game. After Saturday's game, coach Turner Gill said he was pleased with the way the defense was able to keep the Jayhawks in the game. Martinez, who has rushed for over 100 yards five times this year and passed for over 100 yards eight times this year, was held to only 71 yards on the ground and 167 yards in the air. It was only the second time all season he did not account for an offensive touchdown, the first being Nebraska's lone loss to Texas. A major contributor to Kansas' defensive performance was freshman cornerback Tyler Patmon, who had three tackles, an interception and two pass breakups for the Jayhawks. "I'm proud of my defense," Patmon said. "But at the end of the day we didn't get the win so it means nothing, but I am proud of those guys." those guys. The laj Hawks held the Huskers to only six second-half points on two field goals and created two turnovers in the third quarter. However, the struggles on offense made it hard for the laj Hawks to keep it close without additional turnovers. "I think overall we played a pretty good game," sophomore defensive end Toben Opurum said. "But if we were able to capitalize on more turnovers I think it could have been a different ballgame." Nebraska's 20 points were the fewest points allowed by the Kansas defense in Big 12 conference play, and the fewest points allowed since North Dakota State scored only six in the season opener on September 4. -Edited by Kelsey Nill NUSK Junior quarterback Quinn Mecham prepares to scramble out of the pocket during the first half at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb.

Kansas (1-0) scored 19 points on the fast break in its 113-75 victory over Longwood (0-1). Kansas also caused 24 Longwood turnovers, leading to 36 lajahawk points. Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor led Kansas in transition, scoring six of his 17 points on dunks. Taylor opened the game scoring with a fastbreak dunk on an assist from junior forward Markieff Morris. "We just envisioned us being a fast team," Taylor said. "I think tonight we got an opportunity to play fast." Taylor himself got off to a quick start, scoring 13 points in the first half. "I got a lot of easy shots and fast break points," Taylor said. "I was just in the right place at the right time." Taylor said the team needed to keep playing fast and be less careless, especially himself. Taylor had six of the team's 12 turnovers, compared with his three total during exhibition play. Coach Bill Self said that Taylor didn't need to make careless mistakes in the backcourt that led to easy points for the opposition. "He's made some plays that you go. 'Wow,' and he's made some plays and you go. 'Ugh, wow.' Self said. "He's a 'wow guy,' both good Self also said that Taylor and the team as a whole was fast, with a speed comparable to that of the 2007-2008 National Championship team. The Jayhawks might be speedy, but Self said the other team's play would also dictate the overall tempo of the game. If a team only has three players on defense, then the transition game will be there for Kansas. If a team quickly gets back on defense, however, Kansas will have to set up its half-court offense. The tempo of the Longwood game helped Kansas' speed. A year ago, Longwood scored 0.95 points on average per possession, but gave up 1.1 points per possession on defense. Longwood junior center Antwan Carter said that the Jayhawks uptempo pace was difficult to guard. "It's real tough because they love to push in transition, make or miss." Carter said. Edited by Dana Meredith MARKIEFF (CONTINUED FROM 1B) ward. Marcus said Friday that he was doing the dirty work on his brother's big night, but the jayhawks need him to help Markieff more than that. "I told him before the game started that he's gotta be a monster on the boards," Marcus said. "I'm going to help him, but I just box out. I just make sure I box out and he can go get it. As you can see, I only had two rebound's." Self didn't buy that explanation for Marcus' rebounding, or lack thereof. "They'll talk tonight," he joked after the game Friday. "Get their stories straight." But Marcus said the on-floor relationship between the two has always been that way. As Marcus said, Markieff is "bigger." No matter that Markieff is roughly an inch taller and has seven pounds on his brother (hardly a huge difference maker at 6-9 and 225 pounds) the stats don't lie. Marcus said that in high school, the last time the two started together, Markieff averaged about 17 boards to Marcus 11. That may sound like brotherly exaggeration, but Rivals.com recruiting analyst Shay Wildeboor backed up the statement. Marcus offered an additional explanation of his twins rebounding prowess. "He's like a veteran. Like a young veteran, that just knows the game," Marcus said. "Even if he doesn't jump, he always boxes and makes sure the ball falls in a pocket. He has great hands, but everybody on the team calls him a veteran." Of course, there's always room for improvement, and even though Markieff said he was happy with his career performance, he's got some ideas as to how to make his game better "Wish I could've got some threes up." He'll have the chance to rectify that tonight. Valparaiso was the worst defensive team in the Horizon League last year, on a points per possession basis.

(11-35)7 Notes Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson did not dress because of off-the-court issues. His status for Monday is doubtful. The Jayhawks extended the nation's longest home court winning streak to 60 games. The 113 points were the most during the Bill Self era, and its top total since tallying 113 against Emporia State on Dec. 14, 2002. Royce Woolridge scored six points off the bench in eight minutes.

O www.testprep.ku.edu·785-864-5823 8B GAME DAY / MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU TIPOFF AT A GLANCE The scouting report on Valparaiso is pretty simple right now. They can score on anyone ... and anyone can score on them. Homer Drew's squad posted 111 points in a season opening win, so it's safe to assume that there will be another high-octane offensive battle in Allen Fieldhouse tonight. The Crusaders were second in the Horizon League last year in points per possession, behind the eventual national runner-up Butler Bulldogs, so it's no secret that they can score. The question is whether or not the Jayhawks can hold the Crusaders offense enough to pull out a win. Tyshawn Taylor He's got plenty of eyes on him at all times, and for good reason. If you're in Allen Fieldhouse, look up when Taylor gets the ball with Taylor 12 room to run. If you're watching from home, keep those eyes on the TV set. Taylor has always been an incredible athlete, and he can absolutely fly with the ball in his hands. Now that the Jayhawks offense is taking on more of his uptempo personality with the departure of Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich, Taylor is primed to shine. He had six turnovers Friday night, but as coach Bill Self said Friday night after the game, you take the bad with the good with Taylor. PLAYER TO WATCH VALPO NOTES The Jayhawks open the Las Vegas Invitational tonight QUESTION MARK Who will help Markieff Morris carry the rebounding load? Thomas Robinson was excellent with seven rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench, but Markieff Morris cannot be expected to have 15 rebounds every night. Unlike undersized Longwood, Valparaiso has six players listed at 6-foot-6 or taller, including 7-foot-1 Croatian center Hrvje Vucic. Marcus Morris' two-rebound performance isn't even close to cutting it for the Jayhawks, who need him to average around seven or eight with Cole Aldrich's absence looming in the paint. Marcus said he was doing the boxing out for his twin's 15-rebound night, but Bill Self wasn't buying that post-game, and neither am I. HEARYE, HEARYE COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY "Making shots will become a premium. Their big guys can all shoot threes. This is not coach speak; they are very good. They are picked second in their league behind Butler and everyone knows what a great league that is." KANSAS VS. VALPARAISO 7 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Bill Self Taylor A. W. JONES C. J. GUILLEMER KANSAS 1-0 (0-0) STARTERS Reed Tyshawn Taylor, junior guard Releford Taylor responded to offseason questions about his ability to be the lead guard to the tune of a 17-point, 10-assist season debut. The 10 assists were the most for a Jayhawk since Sherron Collins had 11 in December 2008. Taylor showed that he's one of the best guards in the country in the open floor, helping the Jayhawks to 19 fast break points. After that performance, he gets a fifth star for the first time. SALAMU DALAMA ★★★★★ Tyrel Reed, senior guard Reed does do more for the Jayhawks than hit threes, but it would be wrong to say that's not his primary purpose when he's in the game. The Jayhawks' sniper has knocked down more than 40 percent of his career three point attempts, but struggled through the exhibition season and hit just 2-of-7 in the opener. Morris ★★★☆☆ P Travis Releford, sophomore guard Morris Until there's a decision on Josh Selby, this spot is Releford's. Brady Morningstar and Mario Little haven't done near enough to claim a starting job, and Releford demonstrated a surprising athleticism in running the fast break. When he and Taylor hit their stride in transition, chances are something exciting is about to happen. ★★★☆☆ PETER KUBBLE Marcus Morris, junior forward Marcus is still the best player on the Jay-hawks; one game won't change that. But he does need to improve on the boards, and quick. Twin brother Markieff carried the load with 15 rebounds, but there is no way a 6-foot-9 forward with Marcus' athleticism should have only two rebounds against Longwood, which had no player taller than 6-8. ★★★★★ Robinson Markieff was the better twin Friday night for perhaps the first time since the UCLA game in December of last year. His numbers were expected to go up with a starting role and increased minutes, but only a blind optimist would have predicted the stat-stuffing performance Markieff put on Longwood. All of a sudden, Markieff averaging a double-double seems like a legitimate possibility. Markieff Morris, junior forward SIXTH MAN ★★★★☆ James Robinson, sophomore forlorn. He was lost in the shuffle a bit Friday. Markieff Morris and Jeff Withey played so far above their levels from last year that Robinson's 16-point, seven-rebound went quietly by without much notice. It was a huge step forward for him, though, as was turning the ball over just twice in 19 minutes. It would have been possible to set a watch by Robinson's consistent turnover problems last year and he looked much more comfortable Friday. VALPARAISO 1-0(0-0) STARTERS SKITH BARKER Thomas Robinson, sophomore forward for New York Giants for fifth Friday. Brandon Wood, junior guard Wood led the Crusaders with 20 points in Friday's victory. He went 7-16 from the field as well as 3-7 from behind the arc in only 20 minutes of play. Not only can Wood score, but he can distribute. He added six assists as well. ★★★☆☆ 1 ★★☆☆ Erik Buggs, sophomore guard Wood Buggs did not score in the Crusaders victory on Friday, but he did have six assists. Buggs did not even attempt a shot or free throw. Buggs has the ability to score, but he moves the ball around well for Valparaiso. He started 23 of 29 games his freshman year. He appeared in six games last season before he was shut down because of an injury. —Tim Dwyer 10 Howard Little, senior guard ★★★☆ Little scored 17 points and went 6-8 from the field on Friday. Little is a force inside. He shot better than 60 percent from inside the three-point line. Little, the cousin of Jayhawk Mario Little is one of the few players who has a mid-range jumper with basketball today being about dunks and three pointers. Buggs Ryan Broekhoff, sophomore guard Broekhoff is new to the starting lineup. He played in all 32 games last season while start ing six of them.The Australian-native is guard who can post like the Jayhawk's Mario Little or Travis Releford.Broekhoff had 18 points on 7-1 shooting in 21 minutes on Friday. ★★☆★★ 1 Little Cory Johnson, senior forward Cory Johnson, senior for first time. This is not Johnson's first time seeing the Jayhawks. He played for Iowa State from 2006- 2008. Last season was his first with Valparaiso. He averaged 15.6 and 5.8 rebounds per game, which were fourth and eight in the league, respectively. He was a member of the All-Newcomer team and was named a Second Team All-Horizon League Selection. He scored 17 points in 14 minutes on Friday. Johnson is a consistent shooter, who was ranked 20th in the nation in field goal percentage (.556). ★★★★ ★★★★ Broekhoff SIXTH MAN Jay Harris, freshman guard Not to be confused with ESPN's Jay Harris, this Jay Harris was the fifth-best recruit out of Illinois according to Scouts Inc. He averaged 28 points, 3.6 reboundss, 3.4 assists per game while shooting 44 percent from behind the arc and 87 percent from the free throw line for Oswego East High School, Oswego III. In the Crusaders first game, Harris scored nine points and had six assists in 25 minutes. ★★☆☆☆ Johnson BROOKLYN Harris —Mike Lavieri VALPO TIPOFF AT A GLANCE The Crusaders can score. They put up 111 points in their opening game victory against Indiana Northwest. Not only can their guards shoot, but their big men can as well. They are a very balanced team. They had four players in double figures, but they spread the ball around well. They are not a selfish team; they had 29 assists on Friday. Only Brandon Wood took more than 11 shots in their victory. Kansas coach Bill Self said that they are a good team that plays a zone that is similar to Baylor. Valparaiso was selected to finish second in the Horizon League behind Butler, last season's National Championship runner-up. They are a very well coached team, led by Homer Drew in his 22nd season. He is the father of Baylor coach Scott Drew PLAYER TO WATCH Junior guard Brandon Wood guard Brandon Wood Johnson was named Horizon League Newcomer of the Year a season ago. He was a Second Team All-Horizon League selection as well. He was named a preseason First Team All-Horizon League honoree. Wood is the team's go-to scorer. He led the Horizon League in scoring with 17.7 points per game. Johnson is a threat from inside and out. He averaged 1.8 three pointers per game, which was sixth in the Horizon JAVIER R. PALMER Wood QUESTION MARK League a season ago. Wood also has an ability to get the free throw line .(813). Wood is Valporaiso's most complete player who will keep Jayhawk defenders occupied. Can Valparaiso stay with Kansas for 40 minutes? Valparaiso should provide Kansas with one of its toughest tests of the nonconference schedule. Valparaiso can score with anybody. The Crusaders have a deep bench. They used 12 players on Friday. Freshman center Hrvoje Vucic provides length inside off the bench with his 7-foot-1, 240-pound frame. He will give sophomores center Jeff Withey and forward Thomas Robinson fits when he is in the game at the same time as them. Kansas will want to run and play fast in transition; Valparaiso can do that, but they will want to slow the ball down and play in the half-court. HEARYE, HEARYE "We really have to improve our rebounding. We gave up 20 offensive rebounds tonight, which is a major concern for us heading into Kansas. But I thought our shooting, our defense and the way we shared the ball were all very superb tonight." — Valporaiso coach Homer Drew about his team's season-opening win in a news release MONDAY BIG 12 SCHEDULE Time (CT) TV Channel Teams Time (CT) TV Channel Texas A&M at Texas A&M Corpus Christi 7:00 p.m. Southland TV North Carolina Central at Oklahoma 7:00 p.m. SSN Arkansas Pine Bluff at Nebraska 7:00 p.m. Valparaiso at Kansas 7:00 p.m. Jayhawk TV BIG 12 CONFERENCE ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF. Kansas can get into transition early and often. The Jayhawks are at their best — and their most exciting — when they can run. Markieff Morris is excellent with outlet passes Friday, recording a career-high five assists. His ability to start the break, and Tyshawn Taylor and Travis Releford's abilities to finish it, lead to plenty of roar-inducing highlight reel plays. BABY JAY WILL BREAK DOWN AND CRY IF... Valparaiso comes out gunning from behind the arc. They struggled in their regular season opener, shooting only a little over 30 percent from three-point range, but hit better than 39 percent from long in their exhibition season. If the Crusaders start getting three points on their trips down the floor, Kansas hasn't shown that it has an answer.

KU fans might not consider the production of Jayhawk T-shirts, hats or even coffee mugs, but there are labor monitors, non-governmental organizations and companies that do. In every factory throughout the world that produces KU licensed merchandise, the Fair Labor Association is charged with supervising the labor conditions in which someone sewed that shirt. But even with labor monitoring, it's still difficult to track where and under what conditions the merchandise was manufactured. THE PROCESS ? Paul Vander Tuig, KU Trademark Licensing director, said Athletics joined the Fair Labor Association in 1999 when the public was be coming aware of sweatshop conditions. The FLA monitors workers' rights violations and works with factories and companies to improve working conditions. ROCK CHALK "The process is so convoluted that this is why the University has to go through a third party and the third party has to have people researching into who the subcontractors are," Clark said. This year, it cost the University athletic department about $21,000 to be an FLA affiliate, which is about 1 percent of the $2.1 million in gross royalties it receives from KU apparel and merchandise sales. Kansas Athletics Inc. also coordinates with Collegiate Licensing Company, which works between licensees and Athletics to carry out the decisions Athletics makes. The CLC works with about 180 colleges and universities, including all Big 12 schools. She said part of the problem is that globalization introduces so many more players into a process as simple as producing a T-shirt. A lot of that information also depends on how open a company is about who it's working with and how much access it has to the subcontractors that are producing the goods. This is one reason it's difficult for Athletics to know exactly where its merchandise is being produced. Eve Clark, a doctoral candidate studying globalization, said there are still problems with the labor monitoring system even if Athletics works with the FLA and CLC. The biggest problem is finding accountability because now many large companies subcontract the production of their goods. If there's a violation, a company can direct blame to the subcontractor. Actually tracking and catching violations is a task in and of itself, Clark said, because different pieces of a product may be produced in different places and then assembled somewhere else. Liz Kennedy, CLC director of corporate responsibility, said the company handles anything from contracts to artwork approval for product designs. She said although CLC is not related to the FLA, it does what it can to support each university's labormonitoring models. Vander Tuig said there are difficulties with trying to match company violations to specific factory violations. Although there might be a violation at a certain company's factory, KU merchandise might not have been made at that exact factory. He said if KU items were being produced at a factory in violation, the FLA or CLC would notify him. "As consumers, it's very difficult for us to find fair wage stuff because usually when you buy a big brand they're not really employing the people anymore," Clark said. THE GLOBALIZATION FACTOR "It is this very nightmarish sort of way to figure out whether or not something's fair" Clark said. It's usually not until there's a protest or movement started by factory workers that people learn about inappropriate labor practices, she said. 1. "We do have a responsibility once things come out to move forward and look at a more effective wayof examining where things with the beloved Jayhawk come from." ANDREA PETERSON Former president, KU Students Against Sweatshops COMPLAINT FILED About two years ago a Russell clothing factory in Honduras that produced KU apparel was closed. Russell said closing the factory was a business decision, while another labor monitor, Worker Rights Consortium, and activists said the factory closed because workers had unionized. If the factory closed because of unionization, it would have been a workers' rights violation for the 1,800 employees at the factory. Vander Tuig said he was notified of after the incident, but Athletics decided not to cut ties with Russell. At the time, about 90 colleges and universities dropped or suspended licensing agreements with Russell. Vander Tuig said although there would be no legal repercussions for canceling a licensee contract, Athletics decided to stick with Russell to try tomediate the situation. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said he told Russell if satisfactory changes weren't made, Athletics would then terminate its contract. In November 2009 Russell reached an agreement with the factory workers in which it hired back more than 1,000 workers and agreed to improve its relationship with the union. FLA VS. WRC Followers of the fair trade movement have differing opinions on collegiate merchandise when it comes to the two major monitors, the FLA and Worker Rights Consortium. Last spring, Andrea Peterson, student senator and president of KU Students Against Sweatshops, sponsored a resolution in Senate to encourage Athletics to switch from the FLA to WRC. She said WRC has a much better history of responding to rights violations and has a better system for investigating the violations. The strengths of WRC were that violations were investigated on an individual basis and it brought in non-government organizations to help, she said. The FLA has agreements with the licensees and works with them and the factory owners to conduct investigations. FLA Executive Director Jorge Pérez López said the FLA conducts about 125 to 150 random, unannounced inspections each year. He said it also investigates any complaints, but there are only about two or three a year. "The question is whether or not that's being enforced and if we're using the most effective monitoring organization to ensure that it's being enforced," Peterson said. "We do have a responsibility once things come out to move forward and look at a more effective way of ex- Athletics has its own licensee contract that lays out its conditions for fair labor practices, but Peterson said their good intentions may not be enough to change the system.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2010 / NEWS / 3A LABOR (CONTINUED FROM 1A) amining where things with the beloved Jayhawk come from." Vander Tuig said Athletics had evaluated its affiliation with the FLA several times after students had initiated the conversation, but Athletics decided the FLA is currently the best option. for He said one factor in the decision is that WRC is only concerned with college apparel. The FLA monitors apparel from many different companies and also licensed merchandise, such as mugs and key chains. Each year Athletics' trademark royalties are made up of 63 to 65 percent apparel sales and about 35 percent merchandise. Marchiony said he didn't want Athletics' reluctance to switch to WRC to overshadow its concern and interest in labor rights. "That's been a concern of ours for over a decade and that's why we have been a part of the FLA. so long," Marchiony said. "This institution believes that we need to be involved in the solution." Clark said there are still important issues to be resolved within the labor monitoring system, but individuals aren't to blame for those problems. The system makes it difficult for Athletics, and even the consumer, to track a lot of issues by itself. CAMPUS — Edited by Roshni Oommen "The global economy has made labor issues so hard to track," Clark said. "It's not impossible and there are victories. The fact that the University has a commitment to this is a victory in terms of a social movement for labor.

CRIME Garth Searn Altercation leads to library arrest A man who had been banned from the University was arrested Monday evening at Watson Library. Capt. Schuyler Bailey said there was a "scuffle" between the man and KU Public Safety officers. Amanda Manke, a junior from Overland Park, said she was doing homework in the library when she witnessed the altercation. Manke said at about 5 p.m. a male officer and female officer approached two men near the circulation desk on the main floor of the library. She said the officers told one of the men that "he knew he wasn't supposed to be on University property." The man said he thought the charges were dropped. The officers and man argued for about five minutes, Manke said. "Then he took a swing at the male cop," she said. The male officer and the assailant wrestled on the ground for a few moments until the officer handcuffed the man, Manke said. Trash talk Bailey said he was unsure of the assailant's age or why he was banned from University property. Bailey said that, following this incident, the assailant was charged with battery of a law enforcement officer, criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.

The School of Business is offering a study abroad program in south India for the first time in University history this Winter Break, including a trip to a game reserve on New Year's Eve. "I'm pretty excited at the chance to go to India, and experience a different part of the world while getting some credits out of the way," said Nick Manning, a senior from Kansas City, Kansas. Hopeful applicants such as Manning have applied to take "Emerging Topics in Marketing: U.S. and India." Kissan Joseph, faculty adviser and professor for the course, said the program would be advantageous in understanding emerging marketing practices in the U.S. and India, naturally leading to opportunities across two market-oriented economies. "It is a large market. There are over 300 million individuals in the middle class. In fact, President Obama has recently stated that the relationship between U.S. and India will be the defining partnership of the current century," Joseph said. Students will enjoy a newly built, $15 million LEED certified building. LEED certified. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, buildings focus on meeting certain environmental standards. Joseph warns that besides the daily 6 a.m. yoga session, no day will be the same. "Some days will be all class, others will be social excursions or company field trips," he said. The course will be taught by Joseph and select professors of the Asian School of Business, a school founded in Trivandrum in 2005. Joseph will focus on how to connect the two marketing worlds, while the ASB faculty will focus on marketing in India. It is a three credit hour course and counts toward Spring 2011 semester. The three-week study abroad program, will be spent near a beach on the southern tip in Trivandrum, India in the state of Kerala, acclaimed for its scenic sights and beautiful, 70 degree weather in the winter. Students interested submitted an application that included why they believed they would be good candidates for the program, if they needed financial aid, as well as a copy of a resume. The abroad program is only open to those in The School of Business. The Office of Study Abroad wanted to help students financially as much as possible, particularly because it's the first year for the program. Students can receive scholarships for up to $1200, which covers all but $240 of the total program cost. "It's a great opportunity and the fee is very reasonable with the scholarships given," said Suzanne Scales, assistant head and head of the Institute for International Business. The students must pay for their flight, which is around $1500, said Scales. "A dollar can go a long way in India," loseph said. Each day students will learn about the distinctions between the Indian and U.S. marketing business worlds, and Joseph hopes this knowledge will help students bridge the gap in the future. Joseph stresses international business is key for the University's School of Business, adding that this program is one of the many abroad opportunities it offers. "Kansas is the center of the U.S., but we at the business school want it to be the center of the world," Joseph said. The students chosen will leave for India on Dec. 26 and return on Jan. 17, 2011. Edited by Leslie Kinsman CAMPUS Psychologist speaks of religious infection The KU Society of Open-Minded Atheists & Agnostics will host Dr. Darrel Ray tonight from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Parlor Room ABC of the Kansas Union. Dr. Ray, an organizational psychologist, will be speaking about his book "The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture." Ray said he examined the idea that religion was a virus that was infecting almost all aspects of life. He said he questioned how people get infected with religious ideas and what the consequences of that religious infection. "There is no way of verifying that Allah is the right one or that Jesus is the right one," Ray said. "Yet people would kill over that idea." He said most people became "infected" as young children, which was why religion often targeted children. He said most children are susceptible to the "God virus" because their rational immune system was immature. He said when a person was young Ray calls this infection the 'God virus' because once a person has the virus, it's difficult for the person to get rid of it. and went to bible school, the religion would teach how other religions were wrong. He said another large part of his lecture is about the taboo of sex within the religious community. He said all of the major religions "I often say that religion is a sexually transmitted disease,"Ray said. were consumed with sex. He said religion creates guilt through sex. He said if a person took sex out of religion, then the religion would collapse. NATIONAL Overall, Ray said people often don't realize they were being controlled by the "God virus", and "Any religious person is probably infected with a God Virus and what you do you about it?" Ray said. "I have a little bit of an idea on what to do about it." — Samantha Collins his lecture taught people how to overcome it. Alleged genocide leader charged with lying on citizenship application ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.H. — Lawyers for a Manchester woman charged with lying about her role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide argued Monday she will not flee if she is released from custody while awaiting trial next year. Defense Attorney David Ruoff told a federal magistrate that Munyenyezi has lived "a very quiet and unassuming life" during the 10 years she has lived in Manchester with her three daughters, who are now in their teens. He called her ongoing detention "strictly punitive." Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Auerhahn said Munyenyezi's Beatrice Munenyeyezi, 40, has been in custody since June, when she was indicted for lying on applications to enter the United States in 1995 and to obtain citizenship. Federal prosecutors say she ordered rapes and murders of Tutsis during the genocide that killed up to 800,000 people. brother heads an organization that wants to overthrow the current regime in Rwanda, and predicts she would return to Rwanda if that happened. "Why stay around here and face a potential 10-year sentence," Auerhahn said. "Her roots in the community are tenuous at best and suspicious." Munyenyezi, who was sworn in as a U.S. citizen in Concord in 2003, appeared to be listening intently. She spoke only when U.S. Magistrate Judge Landya McCafferty asked her if she was pronouncing her name correctly. Munyenyezi is married to Arsene Shalom Ntahobali, a commander in the former Rwandan army and one of the "Butare Six", suspected by authorities of planning the slaughter. He and his mother have been on trial before a U.N. tribunal for more than eight years. McCaffery did not indicate when she would issue a decision. Ruoff argued that during that A federal affidavit says Munyenyezi and her husband were extremist Hutus who participated in roadblocks and ID checks that resulted in numerous Tutsi rapes and killings. eight year trial, including the three times Munyenyezi testified on her husband's behalf, she was never linked to genocide or other war crimes. Ruoff also questioned the credibility of the government's Rwandan witnesses, calling them "jailhouse rats" who participated in the genocide. Prosecutors challenged Ruoff's characterization, saying they have nothing to offer Rwandan convicts who are serving multiple life sentences. "Some of the witnesses knew her for years and years and years," he said. Auerhahn said they fear Munenyeyezi will attempt to coerce or threaten their witnesses.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: K equals O All puzzles © King Features 'Glee' cast and crew puts hours into rehearsal BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — For the creators of Fox's most famous show, it's not so much "Glee" as it is "Grit." Essentially the cast and crew of the enormously popular series are able to conjure a movie musical in just one week. Anyone who's experienced dance, music or acting rehearsals knows that schedule seems impos- done. "Every episode is eight days," says costume designer Lou Erych. "And we get a script three, four days into it, so we basically have four days of prep and then start shooting, and then catch up a little bit in the next few days." sible. The show makers agree there's jaw-clenching pressure to get the job done. Music director Adam Anders not only prepares the music, but also orchestrates it, another gargantuan job. "I think this is the most civil you will ever see us because we are always fighting for time," he says. "We never have enough time, of course. But you gotta make it work." Anders labors an episode ahead of the others. "When they're shooting, the music has to be done," he says. He works with a partner in Sweden. "We arrange everything ... we take our cues from (co-creator) Ryan Murphy. 'Do you want this to be a kind of ode to the original? Do you want a reinvention? What are we looking for here?' We're trying to serve the story, and we go from there. "But, my whole thing is to kind of straddle the fence between what 'Glee' is — the inspiration and everything — and not going cheesy. And that's kind of what I'm always trying to do. Because it's a little bit of camp, but we never go too far. So when I do go too far, that's the stuff you never hear."

Nov. 19: The last chapter in the Harry Potter saga is split in two; we won't closure until the real finale is released next July 15. As 2010 rolls to a close, Hollywood's L.A.-la lunacy smells riper than usual. Sure, there are franchise stalwarts as "Harry Potter 7.5." But we've also got a psychological thriller about a ballerina sprouting pinfeathers, and an English import about stuttering royalty. Sometimes I feel like I'm in some kind of crazy "Inception" world where nothing makes any sense. Anyway, here's the rundown of some holiday movies in order of openings: and Other Drugs$^a$ when it screened recently. It's ultra-sexy and surprisingly funny, and very touching.

I don't see much middle ground. Dec. 17: It's been 18 years since the original "Tron" brought its black light poster/videogame esthetic to Pong-era moviegoers.

SEXUALITY As movement gains momentum inequality fueled among gays There's a major movement in the making and it's slowly showing success. I'm not talking about the Tea Party Movement or the Republican sweep in Congress. I'm also not talking about the initiative to legalize marijuana that was rejected in California earlier this month. This one is not about economic policies, lower taxes or legalizing drugs; it's about fundamental human rights. So fundamental, in fact, that it requires people to lie about their identity and in some cases precludes them from having a family. I'm talking about gay rights. Sure, this movement is not new. But recently, it has gained new popularity because it finally shows visible success. "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT), which bars openly gay people from military service, is gaining politically important supporters, including Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Cindy McCain (in opposition to her husband John). A recent Pentagon report concluded that repealing the policy would do little harm to the effectiveness of the military. P. J. K. L. It may still take a while to finally repeal DADT, but so did the gradual ban of segregation in the '50s and '60s. It started with schools and continued with colleges, buses Let's Talk about Sex I hope and believe that in a few decades, we will say the same about discrimination on the basis of sexuality. Right now, homosexuals are still denied their full First Amendment rights. If they serve in the military, they have to deny their sexual identity and lie to their fellow comrades whose lives depend on them. DADT is disrespectful to people who sacrifice their lives to fight for this country. BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI c.hybukkukan.kap.com In most states, homosexuals are not allowed to marry or adopt a child if they cannot have one on their own, even if they would save a child from foster care and give them a safe and happy home. Contrary to many myths created by religious and anti-gay groups, homosexuality is NOT a disease that can be cured. It is NOT a lifestyle that can be chosen. Research has not yet been able to fully explain why we love one person and not another. We don't know yet why exactly we feel sexually attracted to some, but not to others. But we know that homosexuality cannot simply be changed with surgery or therapy. Being gay is like falling in love: You know when it happens but you can't get rid of it, no matter how hard you try. In the next century, people will look at our time in history as the period when many still thought homosexuals are inferior in sexuality, should not be allowed to marry their loved one or be honest about their sexual preference. Hopefully, they will say: "How could they think that! These were dark times and we're glad we're living in a better society now." Why are some people denied the right to marry when those who break marriages through cheating are allowed to marry again? Why are some people denied the right to adopt a child when there is no indication that they would hurt the child? Why do some people have to lie about their identity when they render the noblest public service for this country? In 10 or 20 years, we won't need to ask those questions. But first we need to act.

MARIAM SAIFAN LETTER TO THE EDITOR Not getting vaccinated will not reduce evolution of new strains Although I appreciate the sentiment behind Monday's vaccination article, which was concerned with reducing the evolution of new strains of the flu virus, it was unfortunately riddled with incorrect information. The author attempts to argue that healthy individuals should not get the flu shot, as this might cause the evolution of new strains of the flu virus. This statement makes no sense if one understands how the immune system and inactivated viral vaccinations work. First, the flu virus injected into your body upon vaccination has been inactivated. This means that the virus is not capable of infecting the cells of your body. For multiple viral strains to exchange genetic material (read: mutate), they must all be co-infecting the exact same cell. Therefore, from a fundamental standpoint, no virus injected into the body from a flu vaccination is capable of causing mutations in any other viral flu strain that may happen to infect a person. Second, the immune system will clear out any injected virus within 10-14 days. Thus, even if the virus in the flu vaccination were not inactivated, it seems unlikely that within 14 days, a different viral strain will infect the same person and produce successful mutant viral progeny. In addition, there is a concept in the epidemiology world known as herd immunity. This concept states that after a certain number of individuals in a population have been vaccinated against a particular contagious pathogen, the unvaccinated individuals of the population will also be protected from the pathogen. Basically, the more people that are immune to the flu virus, the less likely any one person will catch the flu. This is an important concept because it has ethical implications. There are groups of people in our community that cannot receive flu vaccinations because of immune disorders or organ transplants. Furthermore, as the previous author stated, immunocompromised individuals are at high risk for serious complications from the flu. Thus, herd immunity is one of the few ways they can be protected. As such, if you do not get the flu shot, theoretically you are increasing the chance that a sick person will die from the flu virus. CORRECTION Author identification on a letter to the editor on November 3, "Letter was misleading - the pill does not cause abortions" by The KU Commission on the Status of Women incorrectly identified the president of the commission. HUMOR Pokemon is for serious fans, not just hipsters O h, Pokemon. I remember being 14, and being so extremely into the idea of hating you with all my heart. And I was like, "What? Hit by a train? Uh, are you being serious?" And then she got really mad at me, and was like, "Are you calling me a liar?" I, like many kids my age, tossed my Pokémon trading cards in the back of my closet and let my copies of Silver and Red collect dust on my shelf. It was a terrible, goth-y, awkward time in my life, and I had no Pokémon to turn to when I got in trouble in school or that one time, when I asked that seventh grader out and she was like, "My boyfriend just got hit by a train. So, I'm kind of grieving." Anyway, Pokemon had been such a staple of my childhood, and I was depriving myself of it simply because I believed I'd outgrown it. Then I discovered the Hipster Way NT (Not Trademarked ... yet). Hipsters love things ironically. You see, they wear trucker hats and skinny jeans and ride around on weird old bicycles, but they don't actually like any of these things. These hipsters who practice the Hipster Way find it funny that people actually enjoy these trends, so they adorn the trends as a sort of weird joke. A lot of hipsters ironically like Pokémon. So for awhile, I lived in a weird hipster world in which I said things were "gay" ironically, and I nearly bought a bunch of Alf shirts, ironically of course. It was a wacky, upside-down world. But I found myself still enjoying Pokemon unironically (well, all but the show and films, which are - let's be honest - so awful that they're good). I Oddities BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com Some, I'm sure, were done ironically, but I was excited to see friends explaining and arguing just why Beedrill or Arcanine or whatever (that's not a Pokémon's name, but it would make a good one) are the best of all Pokémon. It was a proud moment for me, and I knew at that moment that Jesus was right. The meek will inherit the earth, and they will all have a favorite Pokémon and lots to say on the subject of a Pokémon MMORPG (c'mon, Nintendo!). So, this December when Pokémon profile picture month comes again, don't hide behind irony. Accept the fact that you have a weird knowledge of the Kanto region, you downloaded Pokémon Snap on your virtual console the day it was released, and that you have a favorite Pokémon. realized that if a genie appeared in my room, my second wish would be for Pokémon to be real and for me to be a gym leader (my first wish would be for more wishes, duh). I was always ashamed of my Pokémon affliction until December when millions and millions (yeah, I said it: MILLIONS) of people on Facebook changed their profile picture to their favorite Pokémon.

"Those that are concerned about their tax dollars funding contraceptives should consider the much larger tax burden of the government supporting children whose parents are unable to care for them, and dealing with the consequences of deliquent children who do not recieve proper care. For those that are concerned with the moral arguments of human life, do you spend as much energy protesting the wars we are waging, which are the primary reason that our country cannot manage its budget?" — "Kall" in response to "Oral contraceptives harmful to women" on Nov. 4. "If someone can comfortably talk about masturbation then good for you. If someone else feels that it is a private thing then who are we to decide that they are wrong? I don't think that Ms. Bledowski meant to do so but she defined those who do as normal and those who don't (or don't want to talk about it) as abnormal. It depends on your culture. In the navy there was a popular joke that said "How can you tell if a sailor just come off a six month deployment? With one hand he can crush a Volkswagon but he can't zip up his fly with the other." Jokes like that will get you fired in an office environment or crucified on TV if you are a public figure (not a comedian)."

Morris recorded a double-double in the game with 12 points and a team-high 13 rebounds. Hawks outmuscle Valpo BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/kansanball Kansas' (2-0) hot start didn't cool off in its 79-44 victory over Valparaiso (1-1) Monday night. The layhawks were too much of everything for Valparaiso; too much offense, too much defense, too much strength and too much hustle. - Valparaiso coach Homer Drew * said that Kansas' quickness made * this team a little uncomfortable. - " Their speed really hurt us in transition early." Drew said. "They jumped on us early with just their speed and the physicalness inside off of our offensive board." - The Jayhawks had only five points on the fast break, but the team overpowered the Crusaders for 40 points in the paint. "They are good players." Self said. "They do a little bit of everything." Kansas also out-muscled Valparaiso on the glass, grabbing 44 rebounds to Valparaiso's 33. The Morris twins led the layhawks, combining for 24 rebounds. Coach Self said was pleased with how the twins played. Drew said that the Morris twin combo is a scary one. Marcus rarely missed Monday night,ight 10-12 from the field. Marcus had 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Markieff had 13 points and 13 rebounds. Marcus attributed his offensive game to an early rhythm he got into. "When one shoots it, what scares you, is the other one dunks if he misses," Drew said. "I just made shots and my teammates helped me and they were able to get rebounds and finish it when I missed." Marcus said. What makes the Morris twins so dynamic is their versatility. They are able to post their man up on the inside and they can also hit shots from behind the arc. Valparaiso forward Kevin Van Wijk said that he knew how physical the game was. "I have played against guys that were heavier, but not as strong as they were, so adjusting to it was kind of hard in the beginning" Van Wijk said. "We knew coming in that they could shoot, and we tried to adjust as much as possible, but it's hard to defend somebody who can do both things instead of just one." The sophomore from the Netherlands was one of the lone bright spots for the Crusaders. Van Wijk was one of two players for the Crusaders who scored in double figures. He had 10 points in 19 minutes off the bench. While Kansas only gave up 17 points in the second half, Self said it was more like 30 or 35 points because Valparaiso missed easy layups, but he said it was a step in the right direction on defense. "It wasn't a gigantic step, but I certainly feel better walking out of here than I did the other night from a defensive stand point," Self said. It helped that Valparaiso so could not hit a shot from behind the arc (2-19) and that the Crusaders went the final 5:11 of the second half without a field goal. Notes Edited by Roshni Oommen - Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson did not dress for the second straight game. - The 17 points Kansas let up in the second half were the fewest since Alcorn State scored 12 in the first half on Dec. 2, 2009. - The Jayhawks extended the nation's longest home court winning streak to 61 games. - Marcus and Markieff Morris were the only Jayhawks to shoot 50 percent or better from behind the three-point line. - Bill Self said the timetable for a ruling on Josh Selby's eligibility is still unclear, but he had the feeling he would know when a ruling would come down soon. - Self said he hopes to have Jeff Withe back in seven to 10 days, but that he already expected to have him back on the floor. Morris hit 10-of-12 shots to finish with 22 points and 11 rebounds. His four assists were second only to point guard Tyshawn Taylor's five. There's really not much to say about Morris that hasn't already been said. He got a bunch of headlines and accolades in the preseason, and he's backing up all the hype so far, averaging 20 points through two games. Game to remember Junior forward Marcus Morris PETER T. WILKINS Morris Player to forget Morningstar Senior guard Brady Morningstar Morningstar has done some great things over his career for Kansas basketball, but if he doesn't start hitting shots, Bill Self will have to start cutting his minutes. Morningstar is just 1-for-5 on the season from behind the three-point line, but he handled the back up point guard duties while Elijah Johnson was suspended for the first two games. With Johnson presumably returning next game, expect Morningstar to see less time.

Vick became the first player in NFL history with at least 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in a game. He hasn't thrown an interception or lost a fumble this season.

Not having a good quarterback is bad luck." -Don Schula, Miami Dolphins Football Coach FACT OF THE DAY The Kansas football team is in the middle of a three-game streak against ranked opponents. — KU Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: 2007, against No. 24 Kansas State and No. 5 Virginia Tech Q: When is the last time Kansas beat two ranked teams in a season in football? KU Athletics Void of leaders creates open game MORNING BREW unny, isn't it? The Dallas Cowboys shocked everyone (including the heavily favored New York Giants) with a 33-20 win, good for their second win of the season. In Week 10. The San Francisco 49ers were expected to run through the NFC West without a challenge. They're tied for last place in the division through nine games. The Oakland Raiders are tied for the longest win streak in the league and sit atop the AFC West. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-3. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-3. The NFL changes so rapidly on a week-by-week basis that it's difficult to put it into words. "Parity" is a word thrown around a lot, suggesting that the gap between the league's best teams and worst teams is closing. It seems to be the case, as teams such as the Browns, Rams and Jaguars continue to impress. But although these teams are getting better, Take the Cowbies. Sure, the team is talented: Jerry Jones would have nothing less than some of the most skilled players grace his cathedral of a stadium. And the media gave the team elite status because BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com Tony Romo looked great in the regular season. But Dallas has always been talented and has one playoff win in the last 10 years to show for it. THE MORNING BREW The Minnesota Vikings thought that bringing Brett Favre back would give them the best chance of returning to the NFC Championship game. And they have suffered some setbacks this year, with the injury to Sidney Rice and the Minnesota installment of "The Randy Moss Show". But the Vikes instead will most likely be a sub-.500 team. The stumbles of these supposed top dogs have given more light to the underdogs of the 2010 season such as the Chiefs, Seahawks, Rams and Raiders. — Edited by Emily McCoy And perennial contenders such as New England, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis are still looking down at the rest of the league. But the reason for this season's parity is the progression of the lower tier of teams. Even teams such as Detroit and Buffalo, which had single digit wins early on in the season, stay competitive in most of the games. But without normal stalwarts of the Vikings and Cowboys, these teams have taken their place in the mix.

Eighteen weeks after the NCAA's initial visit to campus, the agent-related and academic-related investigations into the North Carolina football program are nearly complete. The fate of the final two individual players involved was officially delivered Monday night. The NCAA declared fullback Devon Ramsay and defensive end Michael McAdoo permanently ineligible. Neither the NCAA nor UNC would disclose the reason for the players' expulsion from college football. "When we discovered some issues,we acted on them,"Baddour said. "The (NCAA) accepted our action in good faith." Ramsay played in the first four games of the season, including two wins, but the NCAA will not require UNC to forfeit the wins, UNC athletic director Dick Baddour said. The school's frequent contact with the NCAA and "good faith effort" is the reason the NCAA didn't make UNC forfeit the wins, Baddour said. UNC, with a 6-4 record, is eligible to play in a bowl game this season, with remaining games at home against N.C. State on Saturday and at Duke on Nov. 27. Baddour said the school would appeal the NCAAs decision on Ramsay and McAdoo's status. The NCAA declined to comment. The loss of McAdoo and Ramsey brings the total of UNC players ruled out for the season to eight, with four _ receiver Greg Little, defensive end Robert Quinn, McAdoo and Ramsay _ ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA and a fifth _ defensive tackle Marvin Austin _ dismissed from the program by UNC. The other three players ruled out for the season _ safety Jonathan Smith, safety Brian Gupton and cornerback Charles Brown _ are redshirting and plan to return for the 2011 season. Six players were cleared to return, with five players missing at least three games. Running back Ryan Houston missed the first five games and chose to redshirt the season rather than return for the final seven regular-season games. UNC has identified five players as being involved in the agent-related investigation aé" Austin, Little, Quinn, Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams. Citing to privacy laws, the school has declined to designate the players involved in academic misconduct. Baddour declined to say if either McAdoo or Ramsay was involved in the agent-related investigation. Baddour said Monday's ruling brings the investigation, which began on July 12, closer to a conclusion. "There is some remaining work to be done, but we are moving along and do feel like the end is in sight," Baddour said. Baddour would not put a timetable on when the school would receive a ruling from the NCAA about possible sanctions, which could include the loss of scholarships and a postseason ban. "Clearly the NCAA has some work to do and has to make an evaluation as to the extent of what their determinations will be." Baddour said. Baddour said he would be "aggressive" in the appeals for McAdoo and Ramsay. McAdoo,46-foot-7.245-pound junior, was the defensive MVP of the spring game, with four sacks and an interception and was scheduled to start at defensive end after Quinton Coples was moved inside to replace Austin at defensive tackle. Ramsay, a fourth-year junior, started two games and caught a touchdown pass in the season-opening loss to LSU on Sept. 4. He also dropped a sure touchdown pass against LSU and caused a critical fumble in a collision with quarterback T.J. Yates in a loss to Georgia Tech on Sept. 18. COLLEGE BASKETBALL First basketball polls resemble AP preseason Top 25 rankings ASSOCIATED PRESS The first poll of college basketball's regular season looks a lot like the preseason Top 25. Duke was again a runaway No. 1 on Monday, receiving 58 first-place votes, three more than it had in The Associated Press' preseason rankings. The Blue Devils, the defending national champions, opened the season Sunday with a 37-point win over Princeton. The same teams were in the poll, with eight schools switching places. The 25 teams were a combined 31-0 in the first week of play, with Missouri the only one without at least one win. There should be plenty of movement in next week's poll. At least three games between ranked teams are scheduled this week. Michigan State, which received the other seven first-place votes, remained second followed by Kansas State, Ohio State and Pittsburgh. Villanova was sixth with Kansas, North Carolina, Florida and Syracuse rounding out the top 10. The first of the four switches was Gonzaga and Kentucky, which are 11th and 12th this week. Illinois was 13th followed by Purdue, Missouri, Butler, Baylor Washington, Memphis and Georgetown. The last five ranked teams were Temple, Virginia Tech, BYU, Tennessee and San Diego State. The other switches were Butler and Baylor, Temple and Virginia Tech and BYU and Tennessee. The Volunteers opened the season with an 82-62 win over Chattanooga, but that followed a 79-64 loss to Division II Indianapolis in an exhibition game. Last season, Syracuse lost an game to Division II LeMoyne. It certainly didn't derail the Orange once the regular season started. They won their first 13 games and reached No. 1 for a week in February, their first time on top in 20 years. There are three double-ranked games set for Tuesday: Ohio State at Florida, Virginia Tech at Kansas State and San Diego State at Gonzaga. All three are regularly scheduled games and not tournament matchups. The fourth possible game between ranked teams would be Friday in either the championship or third-place game in the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. Pittsburgh faces Maryland in one semifinal at Madison Square Garden on Thursday while Illinois plays Texas in the other.

His acumen also made him the clear choice as the NL Rookie of the Year, as announced by the Baseball Writers Association of America on Monday. Buster Posey has a trophy to go along with his World Series ring. Posey easily outpointed another kid from Georgia, Atlanta Braves right fielder Jason Heyward, drawing 20 of 32 first-place votes to become the Giants' first rookie of the year since pitcher John Montefusco in 1975. Posey joined an exclusive club of Giants to win the award, which also includes Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda and Votes were due before the playoffs began, so the Giants' run to the World Series wasn't a consideration_and neither was the NL Division Series in which Posey outplayed Heyward as the Giants advanced past the Braves. Gary Matthews. It was expected to be a close vote between the two Georgia natives, who each were named on 31 of 32 ballots. But Heyward received just nine first-place votes along with 20 second-place votes to finish with 107 points. Posey had nine second-place votes to finish with 129 points. St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Jaime Garcia was named on 18 ballots, receiving 16 third-place votes, to finish third. Notably, Florida Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez received two first-place votes but was named on just eight ballots. Posey, 23, hit .305 with 18 home runs and 67 RBs in just 108 games after making his season debut May 29. He caught a Giants staff that held opponents to three runs or fewer in 18 consecutive games the longest streak since the 1917 Chicago White Sox. He might have cemented the award with a complete effort Sept. 21 at Wrigley Field, when he hit a home run, caught four pitchers in a combined two-hitter and threw out an attempted base stealer in a 1-0 victory over the Cubs that kept the Giants in first place by a half-game in the NL West. Posey became the first player to win a Rookie of the Year award and World Series ring in the same season since Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia in 2007. Left-hander Dontelle Willis was the last NL rookie of the year to win a World Series, with the Florida Marlins in 2003. Posey joins the Cubs' Geovany Soto (in 2008) as the only catchers to win Rookie of the Year since Mike Piazza in 1993.

"He's not a good shooter, he's a great shooter," Self said. Yesterday in Kansas' 79-44 win against Valparaiso, Reed backed up Self's praise with a hot start that helped the Jayhawks on their way to a comfortable 44-27 halftime lead. "They're very good players and then they started hitting three's early," Valparaiso coach Homer Drew said. "I thought when Reed hits a couple three's, and then that helps them get going, then that really hurts us." going, then into the game. Reed, who finished the game with 11 points, ended up making three of eight three-pointers, but it was his efficiency to begin the game that delivered an early punch to the Lancers. After feeding the ball to junior forward Marcus Morris to earn a couple of assists, Reed swished the team's first three-point attempt. Four minutes later, he made another three-point attempt that put the layhawks up 17-11. "We got off to a good start," Self said. "And of course Tyrel making three's helps." Edited by Leslie Kinsman All weekend the Jayhawks had been anticipating having open three-point looks because of the defense the Lancers play. Kansas' game plan included Valparaiso leaving the team open for three-pointers. "Just have confidence in your guys and just let them shoot it," junior forward Marcus Morris said. "In pregame and in practice, we knew we were going to have a lot of three's because they were trying to protect the paint with the zone." The Jayhawks' preparation paid dividends early in the game as nine of the first 10 points that Kansas scored came via three-point shots. Reed's final successful threepoint attempt came with 8:38 left in the first half. It pushed Kansas' lead to double digits for the first time in the game. Despite the hot start for Reed, his early three-point success faded in the second half. After starting the game 3-3 from three-point range, he went 0-5 the rest of the game. However, the Kansas lead he helped build was large enough that the Jayhawks were never in serious danger of being upset at home. Instead, Kansas collected its 61st straight win at home, one win away from tying a school record of 62-straight wins at Allen Fieldhouse, which occurred between 1994 and Self pursues improvements in defense BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Bill Self wasn't happy with the defense after Kansas topped Longwood 113-75 to start the season. In both exhibitions and the season opener, the opposing team had shot over 40 percent in the Jayhawks building. "Teams have been coming in here shooting 50, 40 percent," senior guard Mario Little, "that doesn't really happen the last couple of years. That doesn't really happen to us and we let it happen to us the last three games, so we're really trying to defend and show people that we can." Early victories mask some issues Three days later, the Jayhawks held a Valparaiso offense coming off a 111-point showing in its season debut to 27.4 percent shooting in a 79-44 win. The Crusaders scored only 17 points in the second half, two in the last nine minutes and 17 seconds and zero in the last 5:11. Self had to be happy with that, right? "I don't think we're a good defensive team yet, at all." Self said. "I think we were better tonight than we have been the first three games of the season, so that's a positive." Talk about damning with faint praise. The Crusaders are known for their threepoint shooting, but managed only two threes in 19 attempts on the night, good for an abysmal 10.5 percentage from outside. The second half, when they missed all seven of their attempts, was even worse. "That 17 points was more like 30 or 35 points," Self said. "We did some good things." I thought we could've played better, because they had a couple shots that they missed when they were just wide open," junior forward Marcus Morris said. "I thought we defended real well, and I thought we chased them out to the three-point line because that's what they wanted and that's where their players were going." Markleff Morris said pretty much the same thing. Sure, the Jayhawks played all right defensively, but holding a team to 20 percentage points less than what they averaged last year and 67 points less than they scored just a game before wasn't all that impressive. Like Self and his brother, he was happy with the effort, but far from saying it was a complete defensive performance. VAR 4 KANSAS 22 mance. "We defended well enough to miss a couple shots tonight." Not that the Jayhawks did a whole lot of missing. The Jayhawks shot 53.4 percent from the field in what was by far their most complete game of the season. "KU, with always challenging the shot, having a high hand and just the quickness of the game allowed us not to be able to get our feet set and we rushed some shots," he said. "It was a step in the right direction," Self said. "It wasn't a gigantic step, but certainly I feel better walking out of here than I did the other night from a defensive standpoint." About the only person who had nothing critical to say of Kansas' stifling defense was Valparaiso coach Homer Drew. Edited by Michael Bednar It sounds like he, at least, was a little more impressed than Self. Junior forward Marcus Morris puts up a three-pointer during the first half.

Kansas faces three of its toughest opponents in the last three games of the season, including Nebraska, a home game against Oklahoma State Saturday, and the annual Border showdown on Missouri next weekend at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The scheduling gods did no favors for Turner Gill and the Jayhawks this season. After a rough start in conference play, the team ends the season against three teams in the BCS top 25. Nebraska was the first, Oklahoma State comes to Lawrence Saturday, and the Border Showdown against Missouri finishes off the season in Kansas City. Nebraska is eighth in the latest BCS rankings, Oklahoma State is 10th, and Missouri is currently 15th. That might be the toughest three-game streak to end the year in the country. The loss to Nebraska officially knocked the team out of bowl eligibility, as the Jayhawks needed to win out if they wanted to finish 6-6 and make a possible bowl appearance this December. The conference record doesn't tell the whole story, however, as the team has shown small signs of improvements the last three weeks.

"I think our last two or three games there's been definitely consistent improvements, and that's all we want to do, is to continue to get better." game, and Gill looks to see more improvements, even though post-season play is out of the question. Gill went on to say that these last two games will be used for continued evaluation for next season, but he's not changing any game plans to win the next two weeks. "You don't want to get caught up with the name of the school," he said. "You're just trying to focus on what we need to do as a football team, and to give us the best chance to be successful in each game." the 20 points given up to Nebraska could be considered a success for Carl Torbush's defense, which has struggled to stop teams not nearly as well as Nebraska earlier in the year. The defense will be tested more this Saturday, as Oklahoma State is third in the nation in scoring, averaging 45 points a game. Then comes Missouri, whose spread offense is always a threat. The Tigei are scoring 31 points a game, and their defense is even better, allowing only 17 points per contest. — Edited by Leslie Kinsman .

BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton onkansan.com Locally and nationally, more current and graduate students — than ever in the past — are signing up and joining organizations such as the Peace Corps and Teach for America. The Peace Corps is a government volunteer program established by executive order in 1961 by former President John F. Kennedy to improve the social and economic development of foreign countries. Teach for America, founded by a Princeton alum, places recent college graduates and working professionals to teach in low-income and urban communities. Jefferson Baum, the recruitment director for Teach for America for the University, said he thinks the increased participation in organizations such as Teach for America is partly due to students and graduates wanting to be a part of, in a sense, a national movement. NO STARVING ARTISTS "National and regional awareness about the achievement gap is up and just that sense of being part of the group that is spearheading education reform in the country is appealing."

In 2007, Business Week named Teach for America No.10 on its list of Best Places to Launch A Career, and Baum said more people are recognizing it as a platform to possibly get them in the job market.

But, her passion outweighed her skepticism, so Hunt decided to enter the School of the Arts. Now, as she prepares to graduate in May.

"Not all of them have the understanding of how it works out there." He said he never denies an offer for work. He said artists need to go to restaurants, galleries and studios to find any place that would carry their work. Although the business is competitive, Savage said there are plenty of opportunities out there. ENTREPRENEURIAL ENTHUSIASM John Sebelius, a graduate student from Topeka, has a fashion line that carries his drawing on recycled clothing.

"There can be a division in the art world between the business side and the art side," Sebelius said. "And for me I was passionate about both, so I was able to find a marriage between those two worlds." Sebelius said artists need passion and perseverance to survive the hard times. They also need flexibility. That is why Sebelius is considering going into teaching, which he said would allow him to be creative while guiding others' artistic development.

But, her passion outweighed her skepticism, so Hunt decided to enter the School of the Arts. Now, as she prepares to graduate in May, Hunt said she is taking steps to set herself apart in the competitive workplace.

"Not all of them have the understanding of how it works out there." He said he never denies an offer for work. He said artists need to go to restaurants, galleries and studios to find any place that would carry their work. Although the business is competitive, Savage said there are plenty of opportunities out there. ENTREPRENEURIAL ENTHUSIASM John Sebelius, a graduate student from Topeka, has a fashion line that carries his drawing on recycled clothing. He said that his business made him realize that to be a successful artist means being a successful entrepreneur. "There can be a division in the art world between the business side and the art side," Sebelius said. "And for me I was passionate about both, so I was able to find a marriage between those two worlds." Sebelius said artists need passion and perseverance to survive the hard times. They also need flexibility. That is why Sebelius is considering going into teaching, which he said would allow him to be creative while guiding others' artistic development.

Fifty-three-year-old Robert Spriggs was charged with theft for allegedly stealing the rings, each valued at $30,000, while visiting his 81 year-old mother on Saturday in North Strabane Township. Police said Spriggs swallowed one he had in his pocket during questioning. Police said he had previously swallowed the other ring. Spriggs is in the Washington County Jail in a cell without a flushable toilet. Police said they had recovered one ring Monday, but it wasn't immediately clear if they had found the other. Online court records don't list an attorney for Spriggs. Pitchman for traffic safety a poor choice FARGO, N.D.: The Fargo police chief says North Dakota State football coach Craig Bohl wouldn't have been tapped as a traffic safety pitchman had officials known about his driving record. The Forum newspaper reports Bohl has been ticketed for at least 18 traffic offenses since he was hired in 2003. Bohl's voice is featured in a 30-second traffic safety spot describing a string of crashes in Fargo that killed five people this fall. It's aimed at repeat offenders, and Fargo Police Chief Keith Ternes says it makes the ad less effective when "the messenger might be somebody we're trying to reach." Still, Ternes isn't pulling the ad. And Bohl says his driving history is one reason he agreed to do it. "I looked myself in the mirror and said, 'I need to slow down,'" he said. Man in priest's robe steals donations JACKSON, Mich. — A 52-year-old Jackson man accused of donning a priest's robe to steal parishioner donations from a church has been arrested. Sgt. Kevin Hiller told the Jackson Citizen Patriot the man stole an undisclosed amount of money and checks from St. John Catholic Church about 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Hiller said the man used the robe to gain access to a room where the money was located. Witnesses helped police identify the man, who was arrested at his home. Police have not released the suspect's name. They say he is on parole and remains held at the Jackson County Jail pending parole violation and larceny from a building charges.

Craft artists, such as carpenters or welders, averaged $32,570. The national average for all careers was $88,640. Mary Anne Jordan, chairwoman and professor in the visual arts department, said the School prepares students for job markets that are not that dissimilar from any other profession. She said the future depended on what people are willing to do in their lives and what will satisfy them. "Some people are willing to just work in their garage and just get by," Jordan said. REALITY CHECK Many of Hunts already-graduated friends have at least two odd jobs in addition to working as an artist. As for her own plans, Hunt said she would take a year off school to contemplate her options. She said she would either pursue a career in textiles or return to graduate school. "No matter what, work is work, a job is a job." Hunt said of her attitude toward career prospects.

Watkins, a strategic communications major, said the skills she has learned while teaching are transferable skills that will continue to help her in other fields, although she plans to finish her master's degree and continue in education. Wiechman said the numbers are up not only nationally but at the University, too. Since August, Wiechman said he has nominated nearly 20 students and he is sure nominations will surpass 30 by July Ben Wiechman, the University's Peace Corps recruiter, said interest in the Peace Corps has definitely risen in recent years as well. Wiechman said the Peace Corps is currently attempting to expand to 10,000 volunteers. The growth comes following the budget increase According to the Peace Corps website, 8,655 Peace Corps volunteers were serving in 77 host countries as of Sept. 30, which is a 13 percent increase from 2009. The website said more Americans are serving as Peace Corps volunteers than there have been since 1970, when more than 9,000 volunteers were working in 59 countries. in funds allocated to the organization from $340 million in 2009 to $446.15 million in February, at the request of President Barack Obama. The increase in volunteers and members comes regardless of reported improvements to the job market. According to a Wall Street journal article, the National Association of Colleges and Employers' index of college hiring increased to 126.4 in October, compared with 86.8 at the same time last year. The article said the index is based on surveys of employers and nearly half of employers surveyed said they planned to increase their college hiring. Despite the increase, an April article in the Harvard student newspaper, The Crimson, said 17 percent of Harvard's class of 2010 applied for Teach For America. Wiechman said he thinks the unstable state of the economy and market does put the idea of volunteering or joining these types of programs in the forefront of people's minds. "The economy is just kind of making it more of an option for people." Wiechman said.

Koester said traveling abroad in the past inspired her to do it again. Many of Koester's friends who are recent graduates continue to work in the service industry or move back in with their parents because of a shortage of jobs, she said. "I find it daunting to think that I'm 'deciding' my entire future, entering the job market and I would much rather be volunteering abroad than living with my parents, though I love them dearly," Koester said. SMOKING (CONTINUED FROM 1A) being a social smoker is like playing with fire. "Most do it socially, and then it turns into three a day, then four a day, and then half a pack a day," Sarber said. "It's kind of crazy how quickly it happens." Sarber said the major problem with most college students isn't their addiction to nicotine, however. Instead, it's the relationship they have developed with the drug. Many students depend on the hand-to-mouth relationship they have with cigarettes to get through stressful times or to cure boredom. Sar伯 said some students also use cigarettes as a crutch in social situations to meet and connect with new people. Sarber runs KanUquit, which is a one-on-one, six-week program that takes students through the quitting process for free. Sarber said the majority of college smokers don't want cigarettes to always be a part of their lives. "Nobody has came to me and said 'I want to be a smoker,'" Sarber said. Elise Shea, a junior from Prairie Village, said she takes breaks from studying to smoke to avoid overloading her brain with information. However, Shea said she plans to quit after she graduates. to cost them more money, and then they have a health issue," Sarber said. "It's going to be tougher for you to get that job." "Once I get a job and stuff, I don't want to smell like smoke," Shea said. However, he said quitting right after graduation could be a challenge, especially if college students have been using cigarettes in their mouths. social scenes. "If they use cigarettes to go out and meet people, when they get past college life into the real world, what are they going to do? How are they going to learn Sarber said most students aim to quit smoking when they graduate, because they know that "If they don't tell their friends they're trying to quit, then it's too easy for them to cave in." new social habits?" Sarber said. for someone to quit. He said the withdrawal symptoms of quitting, which include lack of concentration, could change someone's mind about which week during the semester to stop smoking. Sarber said sometimes students desire to quit smoking before they graduate because they feel like they have lost control of the situation. "Students often say 'I was just planning on being a social smoker, it turned into addiction, and I don't like it controlling my life," Sarber said. KEN SARBER Health educator "Quitting during finals time is not really a good idea because Money is also a motivator for some students to quit smoking. Sarber said. Today, a pack of cigarettes costs around $5. Sarber said if someone smokes his or her "Most do it socially, and then it turns into three a day, and then half a pack a day." smokers could have a harder time getting a job if they go into a job interview smelling like smoke. "If they smell smoke on you, they know your insurance is going entire life, he she could spend over $100,000 on cigarettes to feed the habit KEN SARBER Health educator sure they are really ready to quit. He said he asks students why they smoke, why they want to quit, and what plan they want to take. He also makes sure it is the right time Sarber said the most important part of taking individuals through the quitting process is making students can have trouble focusing on their homework or studying." Sarber said. Smokers also need to tell their friends, family members and significant others, after they have made the decision to quit, because then they become accountable as well. "If they don't tell their friends that they're trying to quit, then it's too easy for them to cave in," Sarber said. Students interested in quitting can participate in tomorrow's Great American Smokeout on campus. The smokeout encourages smokers across the United States to go smoke-free for 24 hours. Sarber said those 24 hours could serve as a starting point for people who want to quit or it could at least put that thought process into motion. Students interested in participating in KanUquit can contact Ken Sarber at (785) 864-9573 or ksarber@ku.edu. Sarber said he would never turn anyone away. "I just tell people I am here when they're ready," Sarber said. "Usually students enjoy that fact that I'm not going to sit there and preach at them. I'm not going to yell at them. I'm just going to let them carry on, and when they're ready to give it up, they can give me a call."

That film was fashioned as a straight-ahead, old-fashioned thriller; this new one pushes things even further, into the realm of pure horror. Ears are dismembered; wizened old ladies are transformed into man-eating pythons; and our young heroes race across an increasingly barren landscape, as the existential panic mounts all around them. The only thing missing from the exceedingly bleak massacre is a chainsaw. Directed by David Yates, who made the previous two Potter pictures, "Deathly Hallows" is one of two movies based on the final volume in J.K. Rowling's boy wizard series. (Part 2 will be released next July.) That puts a lot of pressure on screenwriter Steve Kloves, who has to incorporate a great deal of exposition and set-up, most of which won't get paid off for another seven months. Yet "Deathly Hallows" succeeds as a self-contained work, mainly because Yates and Kloves have done such an effective job creating and sustaining the grim mood. Even if you can't follow all of the many beats in the story — and unless you are utterly steeped in Potter-iana, some of the talk of "horcruxes" and "olyjyice potion" is inevitably going to sail over your head — you still find yourself pulled along by the film's urgent, unnerving momentum. -MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE TONIGHT AT THE GRANADA!

The group's 13 remastered studio albums are now available for purchase in digital format through the Cupertino, Calif., company's online store.

'Extremely Impressed' Columnist shares experience judging Project Runway PHOTO BY BEN PIROTTE/KANSAN I fell in love with fashion in high school when I religiously watched the reality TV show Project Runway. The show had everything a girl like me could ask Two years ago. mv freshman year at the University, I saw a flyer calling for entries for KU's own version of the show. My favorite, and possibly the most well-known Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano, was the guest judge. The preliminary challenge was to make an outfit out of paper bags. I entered, but was not a finalist. I still went to the show that year and the next and had an amazing time seeing KU students' creations walk down the runway. This year, I finally got to be a part Watch a narrated slideshow by Esposito on Kansan.com of SUAs Project Runway, but not as a contestant. Because of this column, I was asked to judge this year's competition. Of course, I agreed to do it and got to share my opinions of the contestants' designs alongside Louise Roe, a fashion journalist, and two textile students people who really know their stuff. When the first set of designs came down the runway, I was immediately inspired by the artwork that each The Hemline BY ALEX ESPOSITO designer produced. Each of the five designers' collections expressed originality, hard work and so much talent. I was extremely impressed. Although each designer followed the same three challenges (design a look inspired by an element, a decade and Lady Gaga) each look was unique to its creator. The color white connected all of Ashley Estrada's designs. Her air element design was a sophisticated yet modern beach. Paige Hunter's looks were all made with fabrics that are difficult to sew, especially a chocolate colored satin. Her Lady Gaga inspired look was made out of lime green and black sleek plastic or vinyl. Hunter completed the look with amazing finger gloves she made, which the judges adored. Rena Detrixhe's first two looks were a reflection of the designer, sweet and demure. But her Lady Gaga look was a bold and daring pair of three-dimensional bra and panties. Timur Sengun's looks had an earthy, natural feel. He chose beautiful, colorful fabrics that were sewn together with amazing craftsmanship. His earth-inspired dress had a hard-to-sew, pleated skirt and pockets. Winner Zeke Westerman's designs looked like they came straight off the runway from New York fashion week. He was able to interpret each challenge with chic sophistication. He even used real human hair to make a Lady Gaga style little black dress. SUAs Project Runway is an important KU tradition because it gives students an opportunity to express themselves through fashion in a way other than what they wear themselves and proves that fashion can be art. Since this column is about fashion for college students, I had to ask Louise Roe, whose motto is saving the world one stiletto at a time, what advice she has for college students on a budget. She said, "You can get such good stuff cheap now, you just got to rack through it. See what's in your closet already and update it with accessories." I couldn't have said it better myself. Esposito is a junior from Leawood in journalism and film. HEALTH Accomodating customer needs should be a win for businesses There is a growing demand for alternative milk products. products that restaurant and cafe owners have ignored for far too long. It seems they are always slightly behind when it comes to responding to the everchanging needs of their customers. At most cafes, a customer is able to choose either milk or soymilk with their desired beverage, but this is no longer meeting the customer's needs adequately, and so many potential customers are simply left out. The Conscientious Consumer The hormone altering capabilities can also be troublesome for women with One would argue if a person really wants a latte at the Pulse, they should just deal with the current options and get milk or soymilk. However, for many people this is simply not possible. S Everyone understands that many people are not able to drink milk because of a milk allergy or because they are lactose intolerant, but what about soy? Soy is one of the most common food allergies and many people are not able to consume soy products because of the phytoestrogens (a weaker form of estrogen) present in soy. According to Kristen Bieler of Runner's World Magazine, phytoestrogens are capable of altering the body's hormone levels, which can be especially problematic for women who are at risk for breast cancer. BY SARAH BREGMAN Approximately 10 percent of American women are affected by endometriosis — myself included. When I eat too much soy, or other trigger foods (including regular dairy products) I experience an extreme eruption of pain that can last for hours. Not all women with endometriosis will experience this kind of pain, but it can lead to other problems, such as infertility. certain hormone-fueled conditions, such as endometriosis. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center's website: "Endometriosis occurs when endometrial cells — the cells that make up the lining of the uterus travel outside the uterus to other parts of the body. These misplaced cells are stimulated by hormones... and form scar tissue, which can be painful." Now, I would understand if economics were truly at play here and businesses simply could not provide an alternative product to consumers, such as myself, who are not able to indulge in a dairyfree, soy-free latte in-between class. However, economics is not a driving force. Instead it is an overall misunderstanding of customers who require (or desire) alternative options. Many (but not all) restaurant or café managers have an overall negative view towards "needy" customers, and refuse to accommodate for them. This, unfortunately, is a lose-lose for both parties; the restaurants and cafés lose customers, and the customers are not able to dine out with ease, without fear of some sort of bodily repercussion. I would like to propose that businesses, such as the Pulse, begin to buy Silk Almond Milk, which is both soy- and dairy-free and is exactly the same price as the product currently being used. Silk Soymilk. Almond milk has an extremely long shelf life (at least a month), and would appeal to many health-conscious consumers, and those with special needs. Of course it would be necessary to adequately advertise the new product, but businesses could easily do this by posting a sign (as they do with all "limited-time offer" specials). Businesses must be sensitive to the changing needs of consumers if they truly want to want to live up to the motto, "The customer is always right."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR While acknowledging that a larger issue of a college community driven to drink in excess exists, I have to direct attention to the real issue with a popular highball cocktail of diuretics that has transformed a justified taboo into a social norm. The problem is that Four Loko has successfully marketed binge drinking as acceptable. This "potent potable" propels its consumers from sober to binging in just one pop of the tab. The University defines binging for men, as five drinks in a row and for women, four or more. No other type of barley brew sold in a non-resealable container this popular exists with enough alcohol content to reach binge state before finishing. This monumental leap in portion size undeniably separates Four Lokos apart from other malt liquors. It is a step in the wrong direction for an already alcohol infatuated culture. Four Loko has pushed servings to extremes Four Lokos have done to alcohol what McDonald's did to french fries by pushing the standard serving to beyond extreme levels. Phusion Projects LLC, the makers of Four Loko, have supersized alcohol servings and marketed them like bright and shiny happy meals. It's this deceptive combination that has tricked university students into believing that Four Loko can be consumed in a moderate manner. Simply put, there is no way to safely enjoy a Four Loko in one night. In addition to the alcohol, the caffeine and 14 spoonfuls of sugar do not help anything go down except the consumer. Kansas would be extremely negligent to continue endorsing any kind of alcohol product whose standard serving is medically threatening to one's health. Just recently, Washington state banned Four Lokos. Hopefully, it will not take several trips to the hospital for Kansas to realize the same measure would be beneficial here. In the meantime, if you choose to drink a Four Loko, please regard doing so as binging and be prepared for the consequences. Cody Wilson is a senior from Dallas.

"I'll all about cheap food," said Bailey Patton, a senior from Benton. She said she probably eats fast food about once a week. Patton's not alone. Patton's not alone. According to a survey in 2006 by Pew Research Center, 73 percent of Americans said "convenience" was their number one reason for eating junk food. In the same survey, 59 percent of ages 18-29 said they ate a meal from a fast food restaurant at least once a week from a fast food restaurant at least once a week. Ann Chapman, dietitian with the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said understanding why fast food is unhealthy is simple. Most fast food is usually high in calories, fat and sodium. high in calories, fat and sodium. Kurt Schieszer, a freshman from Mission, said he also eats fast food about once a week. "I know it's terrible for you," Schieszer said. He said he usually eats fast food because it's convenient and inexpensive. Chapman said there are ways to make fast food slightly better for you. "Keeping things simple can help," Chapman said. can help, Chapman said. That means mixing sauces such as mayonnaise or ordering hamburgers instead of cheese burgers. At McDonald's, ordering a McDouble without cheese saves 50 calories, for example. Ordering a side salad from the dollar menu instead of fries is also a healthier option, Chapman said. Plus, Chapman said, if a student is craving fast food, he or she could order a kid's meal instead of a regular meal to get smaller portions. — Edited by Anna Nordling - Crunchy Taco — 170 calories, 10g fat - Soft Taco — 210 calories, 9g fat - Crispy Potato Soft Taco — 280 calories, 14g fat - Bean Burrito — 370 calories, 10g fat - Beefy, 5-layer burrito — 560 calories, 22g fat --- U.S. Troops 31/04/20 11/28/20 MCDONALDS - Side salad, no dressing — 20 calories, 0g fat - Fruit 'N Yogurt parfait — 160 calories, 2g fat - McChicken — 360 calories, 16g fat 16g fat 390 --- - Small french fries — 380 calories 19g fat - McDouble — 390 calories, 19 q fat WENDY'S • Double Jr. Bacon Cheese- burger — 440 calories, 25g fat Value French Fries — 210 calories, 10g fat • 5-piece spicy chicken nuggets — 230 calories, 15g fat • Small Frosty — 310 calories, 8g fat • Crispy Chicken sandwich — 350 calories, 15g fat 10 BURGER KING - Onion rings—150 calories, 8g fat - Spicy Chicken Sandwich — 150 calories, 30g fat calories, 6 g fat 460 calories, 30g Side garden salad — 140 - Side garden salad - 140 calories, 6 g fat - 4-piece chicken tenders - 180 calories, 11g fat - Buck Double — 410 calories, 22g fat MEADOWLARK PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS THE CLICK CLACK BOOM WORKS SCIENCE WITH ANDY MILFIGER ENTERTAINMENT MEADOWLARK PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS THE CLICK CLACK BOOM FALL 2010 TOUR Visiting: Warren, OH • State College, PA • Milfilinburg, PA Lewistown, PA • Raleigh, NC • Nashville, TN • Memphis- Shroveport, LA • Austin, TX • San Antonio, TX • Dallas, T Stillwater, OK • Lawrence, KS • Omaha, MB • Chicago, Detroit, MI • Cleveland, OH • Columbus, OH • Youngstown, O IN VIVID TECHNICOLOR • COPYRIGHT MMX • WWW.CLICKCLACKBOOM.COM THE PYNAMITE SALOON SUBWAY WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 17 8:30-MIDNIGHT THE DYNAMITE SALOON across from Tonic NOCOVER GREAT MUSIC BAR AND FOOD SPECIALS - Footlong Veggie Sub — - 460 calories, 5g fat Footlong Oven Roasted - Footlong BLT — 720 calories. 26g fat - Footlong Oven Roasted Chicken — 640 calories, 9g fat - Footlong Cold Cut Combo — 820 calories, 32g fat - Footlong Meatball汉 ana — 1,160 calories, 46g fat - 820 calories, 32g fat · Footlong Meatball Mari- information gathered from nutrition information available on each restaurant's website.

CAUSES END Sweatshops in the Fields RIGHT STOR Joe Stogstill, a junior from Lawrence, participates with the Lawrence Fair Food group in a candle-light vigil in effort to urge the supermarket industry to reach an agreement with Farmworkers to substantially improve working conditions and wages in the tomato field in immokalee, Fla. There was a delegation of local religious and community leaders in the Dillons regional headquarters in Hutchison on Nov. 16 and a public march and rally on Nov. 19. Students fight for migrant workers BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@kansan.com Editor's note: Samantha Collins will travel to Immokalee, Fla. over winter break to volunteer with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and the Student Farm Alliance for an alternative breaks program. Ben Jeffries tried to be a migrant worker for one day in the hot Florida sun in the tomato fields of Immokalee, Fla. — just to see what it was like. They worked in the humid heat pulling plastic tarps from the ground. Jeffries' body ached after a few hours of work and he still had hours of work to complete. He took several breaks while the other field workers yelled at him to keep a decent pace. a decent pace. "We were definitely the slowest workers there," Jeffries said. it was like. Jeffries, a senior from Tonganoxie and a member of Lawrence Fair Food, and his friend woke up at 4 a.m. one day last May and waited in a parking lot full of migrant workers looking for a job. They walked from Jefe to Jefe, or the crew leaders, asking for work until one man eventually gave them a job — to help tear out the tomato fields because the harvest season was officially over. workers there. Jeffries said the workers earned sub-poverty wages and were forced to live in apartments with rents comparable to those in Manhattan, N.Y. He said it was normal for 12 or more men living in one residence. The workers only received about 50 cents for each 32 pounds of tomatoes they picked. Jeffries and a group of other students visited the Coalition of Immokalee, or CIW, workers last May to work to achieve better working conditions for the tomato pickers of Immokalee. The campaign that CIW leads now wants the large supermarket chains in the United States, like Kroger, which owns Dillons, to sign on to help end these poor working conditions. This week is national supermarket week of action and Lawrence Fair Food, which is a student and community led group that is working with the CIW, is taking action. Shona Clarkson, a senior from St. Louis, said the best way for a person to help is to learn about the issue and work with, not for, the CIW. Clarkson, also visited Immokalea last May. She said it was like visiting a foreign country. "It definitely feels like you are not somewhere in America," Clarkson said. "Immokalee is not a very happy place," Clarkson said. "I wouldn't say that I liked Immokalee." She said most of the inhabitants of the town are migrant workers from South and Central America. She said most of the workers are lonely men who left their families to work in the U.S., and all they do is work in order to support their families. EVENTS THIS WEEK. Nov.19 Public Rally 4:30 p.m. — rally in South Park 5 p.m. march to Dillons on Massachusetts There will be a public rally and march to Dillons to deliver a letter to the manager explaining the work conditions of the farm workers. The members will ask the manager to pass the letter along to his corporate manager. powerful. "It wasn't all about doom and gloom, but also that everyone started taking huge strides to combat the things that kept them in their place," Clarkson said. However, Clarkson said the best part about visiting Immokalee was meeting the people who run the coalition. She said hearing the migrant workers talk about their struggles while fighting to make a better livelihood for themselves was powerful. place, Clarkson sain Aaron Stables, a senior from Derby, said the farm workers weren't the only ones being exploited within the supermarket world. The consumers — students, families, anyone who purchases food are being exploited. When Stables visited the CIW, he said he and the other students attended many workshops to learn more about this issue. He said he learned that consumers were the most powerful agents in this campaign. "Our options are already picked out for us," Stables said. "We as consumers are only seen as pocket books and mouths." Jeffries said the best thing a person can do by visiting the CIW is to bring what they learned about the campaign back home to their community to make a change. And that is what they are doing this week. is what they are doing today. Last night, Jeffries, Clarkson and Stables took action against Kroger. The Lawrence Fair Food sent delegates to the regional Kroger headquarters in Hutchinson to deliver a letter of concern stating the poor working conditions of the farm workers and asked them to join the campaign of selling only fair trade produce. This Friday, students and members of the community will join in South Park to march to the Dillon's at 1740 Massachusetts St. to deliver another letter to the manager asking for change. ager than those for housing." "Students are consumers," Clarkson said. "Students have a voice and they have power to end farmer and consumer exploitation." Edited by Anna Nordling --- KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2010 / SPORTS SOCCER 7A Team puts academics first, succeeds on and off field BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com Time management is often a struggle for college students. For student-athletes, it can be especially difficult because they work to succeed both in the classroom and on the field. The Kansas soccer season is over for senior forward Kaitlyn Cunningham, but she is still working to get her degree. She recognized that learning to manage her time was a process. "I kind of learned (time management) in high school, playing club and high school soccer, but it is no where near what it is in college. I think freshman year was a big struggle and you kind of notice at in your grades." Cunningham said. "You get used to it, but it kind of depends on the class too. You are obviously taking harder classes as you move up." It's evident that the soccer program places a high priority on academic performance. Seven Kansas soccer players were recognized for their academic excellence this year. Senior midfielder Erin Lewis and junior midfielder Jordyn Perdue were named to the Big 12 All-Academic First Team, while Cunningham, senior defender Lauren Jackson, senior midfielder Rachel Morris and sophomore midfielder Shelby Williamson were named to the second team. "Student-athlete, and student is the first part of that," coach Mark Francis said. "Obviously we put a lot of emphasis on that." Cunningham said that Francis does a good job of stressing the importance of academics to his players. "Obviously we are here to play soccer, but at the same point we are here to get an education," she said. "Most of us aren't going to go on and play professionally. He makes it a point that if you aren't going to get the grades, then how are you going to be able to play soccer?" This marks the sixth straight season that six or more Kansas soccer players have received Big 12 All-Academic accolades, something that Francis says reflects their program. "We've been fortunate that we have recruited good athletes, but also good students. You aren't going to have that many players make All-Academic Big 12 that many years in a row if you aren't bringing in the right type of kids," he said. next year. After playing for the Kansas soccer team, Cunningham said the biggest thing she has learned is her work ethic, on and off the field. Cunningham said there are two important factors that student athletes should keep in mind to stay ahead in the classroom. "We've been fortunate that we have recruited good athletes, but also good students." "Number one, staying on top of it with your professors. But number two, staying on top of it yourself and getting things done ahead of time so they aren't mad at you because you are turning it in late," she said. Cunningham is working toward a degree in exercise science. She has an internship set up in the weight room for Kansas athletes next semester and she plans on trying to get into graduate school "Obviously I tried to keep up with my academics, but I also tried to work hard at soccer and balance the two," she said. Francis said Cunningham has a work ethic that sets her apart from other athletes. "Kaitlyn is an unbelievable kid. She has made the most of the ability that she has, which not every athlete does," he said. "I think a lot of athletes MARK FRANCIS Coach lot of athletes come in and have some natural ability and don't necessarily make the most of it." Francis said her approach to things has made her successful, and Cunningham hopes this mentality will help her get a job when she is finished with school. "I would hope that they would kind of notice that I'm going to put in the time and effort to get the job done," she said. Cunningham was a captain this year, and Francis attested to her leadership qualities. He also has a lot of confidence in her future. "I think she is going to be successful in whatever she does," he said.

Kansas (16-11, 7-9 Big 12) topped Baylor (14-13, 7-9 Big 12) in a four-setter earlier in the season in Waco, Texas. Junior settler Nicole Tate said she expected the Bears to be better prepared Wednesday than they were in the previous meeting. Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield said good defense would be as important for the Jayhawks as for the Bears. The teams are tied for sixth place in the Big 12 Conference. The layhawks have won three of their past four matches with a five-setter against Texas A&M last Wednesday and sweeps of Colorado and Texas Tech.

Senior Cattlyn Trice and junior Allison King have led the Bears defense with 5.23 and 4.17 digs per set, respectively. With Trice leading the league and King ranked sixth, they are the only two teammates to share top-10 status in the Big 12.

Coach Turner Gill says Mecham is ready to continue improving this week and will start this Saturday against Oklahoma State. Mecham Last Saturday's 20-3 loss to Nebraska officially eliminated the Kansas football team from postseason play. They needed to win three in a row to finish 6-6 and be eligible for a bowl game. Now, the best case scenario for the Jayhawks is a 5-7 finish, and even that would be a Webt WILLE With the season nearing an end however, coach Turner Gill still isn't ready to start talking about next year. stretch considering their final two opponents, Oklahoma State and Missouri. "Our objective here still is to continue to win football games," he said Tuesday. "We're not totally it here talking about what's in the future and all that, we're trying to beat Oklahoma State." Gill proved this mentality in hinting that freshman quarterback Jordan Webb could play this weekend, as well as starting junior quarterback Quinn Mecham. "We may play both guys, but we're gonna go ahead and start Quinn this ball game and kind of go from there." go from there. Playing Webb alongside Mecham the last two games officially opens up the starting quarterback position going into next year. Not that Mecham was a lock to start next season anyway, but Gill is showing fans he's not worried about next year. He wants to win every game, and he's proving that by starting a de facto quarterback controversy the last two weeks of the season in games that won't matter much in the long run. the long run. Six weeks after his coach claimed, "he's our quarterback," after the 28-25 upset over Georgia Tech. Jordan Webb was knocked out of the Texas A&M game and he hasn't played since. played since. It was partly due to his shoulder injury, but not completely. Gill noted that Webb was near 100 percent before the Nebraska game. "Last week he was a little bit limited. He did get some reps, he got quite a bit of reps. But this week there's no issue injury-wise; he's ready to go." Even if Webb was near perfect health, Mecham starting in Lincoln wasn't a huge surprise. He managed the Iowa State game very well, and after an average first half against Colorado, he led the team to the next comeback in school history. The wheels fell off last Saturday against Nebraska, however. After Mecham completed only three passes for 15 yards and no touchdowns, things are getting shaken up once again at the Anderson Family Football Complex. his arm against Nebraska, opting to throw the ball only 15 times all night. When they did decide to throw deep, Mecham badly underthrew sophomore wide receiver DJ. Beshears for an interception. Beshears had his man beat and could have easily scored with a good throw. Football Complex. After that embarrassing performance, Gill claimed that Mecham wasn't too hard on himself, and that he was ready to continue improving this week. If he wants to win, or at least stay in the game Saturday, Mecham will need to improve fast.

His parents, Heather and David Marshall, live in Dallas, which made it possible for them to visit him at the Tulsa treatment center. However, Marshall's father was normally the only parent that was able to make the trip, as his mother had to stay at home and look after Marshall's three younger siblings. The numerous four-hour drives to Tulsa was one of the hardest parts for Marshall. Most of the time he rode with a friend, but he occasionally had to make the drive to chemotherapy treatments by himself. "That was really hard for me," he said. "I was 19 at the time. I just felt like the road gives you a lot of time to think. You just think about everything that is going on around you and how your life could change in any second." Marshall ended up taking incompletes in his classes during the fall 2009 semester when he was first diagnosed with cancer.

MARSHALL Sophomore defensive end "At times there was only like one or two people I could talk to," he said. Then one day at practice, Marshall met someone else that he could talk to. This person, Connor Olson, ended up being one of his biggest inspirations during this entire ordeal. Orlson was a student at Tonganoxie High School in Tonganoxie. He had been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer. One day he came to a Kansas football practice. Olson had played football when he was younger but now, with one leg amputated and NHS BRECCY PLAN WEDNESDAY $3 PITCHERS Marshall and Olson met at practice and there was an instant struggling with the effects of a terminal cancer, all he wanted to do was play ball again and be around football players. bond between the two. Besides the cancer, they had something else in common. Both Olson and Marshall wore many types of cancer bracelets. Marshall wears Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong bracelets, others from his parents and one that says "believe." The two friends exchanged bracelets and every day Marshall looks at the one that Olson gave him that reads "Cure for Connor." Olson and Marshall maintained a friendship after they had met. They kept in contact through texts and phone calls, but eventually Olson began texting less and less. Marshall knew something was wrong. Olson had had a stroke and Marshall said he died a couple days after. "Me talking to him, knowing that my life is on the line just like his was — I could not be here just like he isn't," Marshall said. "That was one of my main driving forces for me to come back, for people, to be an inspiration to people with cancer or people without cancer." Today, Marshall has the chance to be that inspiration. When chemo treatments became less severe, he knew he was getting better. He ound out in August that he's now cancer free. "I feel like I came out a better person, a stronger person," Marshall said. "I was always a very confident person but after I got diagnosed with that I feel like my confidence was stripped away from me and then as I'm coming back now I feel like rejuvenation." "It is really great to see a smile on his face; it is really good to see a young man who has had a lot of tough times get better," coach Turner Gill said. "I am happy for him, but I am also happy for our football team as he continues to make progress." Football is once again becoming a huge part of his life. Marshall has gone from chemotherapy treatments last semester to being dropped right back into the grind of things this semester. He's been attending meetings, class and practices; everything a healthy football player would do. The only exception is that he hasn't been playing. He's being slowly worked back into the physical aspect of the game. Two weeks ago Marshall only wore a helmet during practice. Last week he wore a helmet and shoulder pads. This week he's in full pads and next week he will participate in his first full practice, less than a year removed from having cancer. Thanks to the help of head trainer Murphy Grant and Marshall's academic adviser Glenn Quick, he is slowly but surely moving back into a normal college football player lifestyle. mstyle. For Marshall however, his work with cancer isn't complete. Now that he's a survivor, he wants to help other people. He encourages anyone struggling with anything, cancer or otherwise, to reach out to him for support. He wants to use his experience to inspire people through troubles in their own life. through troubles in life.

Freshman guard Keena Mays attributes this to the team moving too fast. The majority of the turnovers were caused by miscommunication during passes that would fly out of bounds.

Two technical fouls were called on Virginia Tech as Kansas State (2-0) was taking charge in the second half. Malcolm Delaney, the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading returning scorer, had 22 points for the Hokies (1-1). His bucket gave Virginia Tech a 40-38 lead early in the second half. then Rodney McGruder's 10-foot jumper ignited the Wildcats on the 28-9 run that gave them an insurmountable lead. After another bucket by McGruder, Freddy Asprilla blocked Victor Davila's shot and Irving drained the first of his 3-pointers. Delaney's 3-pointer a moment later was answered by another trey by Irving. After a free throw by Jamar Samuels, McGruder hit a 3-pointer to give the Wildcats their biggest lead, 53-44, with 8:40 to go. Jacob Pullen, the Wildcats' preseason All-American, was benched all but 2 minutes of the first half with three fouls, but scored 13 points. Associated Press .

Horatio Alger used to write about protagonists who underwent struggles against poverty and eventually found (at least some) wealth and social respectability. In more modern times, Jay-Z did everything to slang you know-what to working in a Brooklyn McDonald's before he took charge of Roc-A-Fella Records (and the world). Usually it takes a little time to gain supremacy. However, two different cases, one of absurd athleticism, the other of unrivaled determination, discount this theory. It seems that there are indeed shortcuts to reach the mountaintop. - From Leavenworth to Philly Heaven After serving 19 months in Leavenworth's United States Penitentiary for staging dog fights, Vick had more than just PETA calling him names. He was once the No. 1 overall draft pick and the face of the Atlanta Falcons. He epitomized all that was exciting about football. Then, in what felt like a second later, he was America's truest villain. In May of 2009, Michael Vick was synony mous with Lucifer. Forget the boogie man. Parents could tell stories of Vick to send their kids right to sleep. Oh, how things change for the truly gifted Vick got out of prison, signed with the Philadelphia Eagles (who got a ton of flak for that one), and served as the third-string quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb. One McNabb trade and one Kolb injure later, Vick was starting again. After several impressive performances at the helm, Vick rewrote his history on the regular season's biggest stage — Monday Night Football. Just this Monday, his Eagles torched McNabb and the Redskins 59-28. Vick finished with 333 passing yards, 80 rushing yards and six touchdowns (four passing, two running). The dominating victory put an exclamation point on Vick's MVP campaign. Once again, the NFL loves Vick. Philadelphia loves Vick. And, as inconceivable as it may have seemed not long ago, America loves Vick, too. - From Mine to Marathon THE MORNING BREW While stuck in the mine more than 2,000 feet underground with 32 others, Pena ran between three and six miles per day in wormout work boots. Upon his release, marathon officials immediately invited Pena as an honorary guest. But Pena wanted to run, honorary or not. Edison Pena was rescued Oct. 13 after being trapped for 69 days in a Chilean mine. Three-and-a-half weeks later, he finished the New York City Marathon. He finished the race in five hours, 40 minutes and 51 seconds, and blamed his bad knees for his time. Like that really mattered. Pena is now a part of marathon folklore. He's also no longer stuck in a Chilean mine, rather, he's stuck as a Chilean hero. Pena is a huge Elvis Presley fan, singing the king's tunes for reporters far and wide. But Presley just doesn't fit the bill here. Internationally adored, it's hard to say that any of his work is truly vaulted. So where does that take us?

After all, Marshall was an athletic kid playing defensive end on a team that had just won the Insight Bowl. on a team that had just won the Insight Marshall redshirted the year Kansas won the Insight Bowl. He was eager to finally play his first season at Kansas. Unfortunately, he only made it through one game. During the 2009 season, he began to notice his weight dropping. He played at 240 pounds but all of a sudden found himself weighing as low as 215 pounds. Then other strange symptoms began to appear: He was getting bad night sweats and he noticed the lump on his neck getting bigger. the lump on his neck getting bigger. He was sent to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where doctors took a biopsy. Soon after he received a call that would change his life forever. "It was the next day and I was driving at the intersection of 23rd and Iowa, driving back towards campus" Marshall said. "It was the doctor and he said it's lymphoma. It didn't bother me at first because I wasn't exactly sure what lymphoma was. He was basically like, 'It's cancer and if we don't get it checked out real soon, it could be fatal'" The magnitude of what was just told to him on the phone didn't really hit him until he got back to campus and talked to all the coaches. They tried to comfort him and let him know everything would be all right. Then, they apologized for the way they had been acting toward him. him. "They were sorry for pushing me so hard because during the year I was the worst college scholarship athlete we had," he said. athlete we had, he said. The coaches were hard on Marshall that season. His physical performance was down, his grades were suffering and the coaches thought it was because he had been going out and drinking and hanging out with girls. No one really had a clue what was really going on inside his body at the time. After the phone call from his doctor and words of encouragement from his coaches, he finally broke down and cried. He knew life had now become less about football and more about surviving. It was Liz Laboda at Lawrence Memorial Hospital who found the lymph. Marshall is lucky she found it when she did. It was nearly too late. There are four stages of Hodgkin Lymphoma. Stage one is the least serious and stage four is the most serious. Letters are also included to describe the stage of cancer, mainly the letters A and B. Patients with symptoms such as fever, night sweats and weight loss are described with a B, those without with an A. "I was 3-B, so I was on my way to be being fatal," he said.

He began chemotherapy at the beginning of the spring 2010 semester. "They were telling me that since I was a college athlete and the youngest person in their treatment facility that they were going to give me the hardest treatment because they felt like I could deal with it," he said.

But the only side he saw of Santee when they ran together was the bottom of Santee's heels as they kicked back and spurred him forward. and spurred him. Like the Michael Johnson, or even Michael Jordan, of track and cross country in the 1950s, Santee was recognized as one his generation's best athletes by his early twenties, and should be regarded as so for the rest of history. On Sunday, Koby's dear friend died at the age of 78, leaving behind a legacy of records in both Kansas track and field and the world. Koby ran the second leg of the 4x4 mile relay team with Santee that broke the NCAA collegiate record in 1953. Koby said Santee had predicted, and even guaranteed, that the team would break the record that day. Koby and Santee were co-captains for the National Championship team in 1953, and as Koby had seen throughout his years with Santee, the man could fulfill any of the bold statements of what he was able to do. "I can remember well when we set the collegiate four-mile relay record," Koby said, "and him coming in like an antecope running the last leg of the four-mile relay." Once, after a session of heckling from his Acacia fraternity brothers, Santee said he could beat them all in a race from Tonganoxie along Highway 10 to their house. BY NICOLAS ROESLER proesler@kansan.com He said each of the 28 house members could run half a mile, relay style, for the 14 miles, while he ran the entire length. challenged to "i formed, on the spot, the judgment that this brash 20-year-old guy from Western Kansas had a unique persona that would require zero reliance on his world class running ability to rally people around him in his role as a leader," Quarrier said through an email. Koby graduated from Ashland High School with Wes Santee and remained his friend through life. Although he was never able to beat Santee in a race, his respect for him never faltered. He said Santee would help his teammates out not only on the track, but also with class work and personal matters. He beat them with plenty of time to spare. His Acacia fraternity brother John Quarrier was one of brothers challenged to this race. ters. "He was just a great friend and gentleman," Koby said. In his time at the University between 1950 and 1954, Santee was one of the world's top contenders in breaking the elusive barrier of the four-minute mile. Despite his claim that he could break the record mark, this was the one area where his mouth went further than his feet, barely. His fastest time recorded was 4:00.5. Santee did set the world record in the 1,500 meters in 1954, when he was timed in 3 minutes, 42.8 seconds at the Compton Invitational. He also set the indoor mile world record twice and the indoor 1,500 meter world record once in 1955. He also competed in the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland in the 5,000 meters. "He was always very confident," Koby said of Santee's personality throughout his life. "You might even say he had an ego as great as his running abilities were, maybe even a little greater." "Simply stated, Wes ranks among the best of the best of our generation." Quarrier said. After an illustrious career in college, Santee was deemed ineligible in 1956, which ended his track career. He then pursued a career with the Marines, and according to Koby, was a Marine till the end. Santee was inducted into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2005. ever at a Maine game. Wes Santee is survived by two sons and a daughter. And will forever be remembered as one of the best athletes to ever compete for the University of Kansas.

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. when the Jayhawks face Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at home. Sophomore point guard Angel Goodrich has a simple goal for this game. "Coming out strong and getting a win," Goodrich said. Freshman forward Tania Jackson led the Jayhawks in scoring with 13 points and attributed her success to her fellow post players: senior center Krysten Booagaard and sophomore forward Carolyn Davis. South Dakota double teamed Booagaard and Davis for most of the game, giving Jackson open looks. "Being that Krysten and Carolyn are such big threats down low, I think they sagged off and that gave me the opportunity and advantage to get open because my post player didn't know I was a three-point threat," Jackson said.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18,2010 A MOLDY MESS VOLUME 123 ISSUE 64 Leaky pipes irk McCollum residents A common complaint from McCollum's residents is the water pipes that run through almost every room. The pipes will sometimes begin leaking and maintenance crews will have to come repair the pipe. In rare cases the pipes burst, causing water damage to property. BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com One night in early October, Abe Otaibi noticed the floors in the sixth floor bathroom of McCollum Hall were more wet than usual. At first he thought it was a prank. Then he looked up and saw water dripping from the ceiling. When he reported the incident to the front desk at McCollium Hall, a desk assistant told him a pipe on the seventh floor was leaking. Maintenance was taking care of it, the deskie told him. So Otaibi, a freshman from Al Khoobar, Saudi Arabia, returned to his floor. Chris Neal/KANSAN Thirty minutes later a resident assistant for the sixth floor returned to his room. Otaibi was with him when he opened his door and saw water spewing from the RAs ceiling. They rushed to save what they could, but few of the RA's belongings were salvageable. His TV, books and collection of Magic the Gathering playing cards — among other things — were ruined. The RA was not allowed to comment. Though Otaibi's story was the worst incident reported to The University Daily Kansan, many McCollum Hall residents shared similar stories. Several students said mold was growing in their rooms as a result of leaky pipes. Despite their complaints, renovations for McColm Hall aren't scheduled to begin until 2013, said Diana Robertson, director of student housing. "As far as the money it takes to live here versus the conditions that we live in, it's pretty unacceptable," said Luke Bowers, a man "We're getting to the full renovations as quickly as feasible," Robertson said. "In the meantime, I think they're in pretty good shape." WATER LEAKS "If there was something we were junior from Marion. Bowers was visiting his girlfriend in Kansas City a year ago when a friend from his floor called. Water was gushing from underneath his door on the eighth floor of McCollium Hall, his friend told him. A pipe had burst inside his room. When Bowers made it back to McCollum 30 minutes later, his friends had safely recovered most of his belongings from his room. The spewing water ruined a rug, two "Rock Band" controllers, a universal remote and a surge protector. Bowers e-mail a list of damages to Shruti Desai, complex director for McCollum Hall. He estimated total damages to his personal property at more than $110. Desai told him in a follow-up e-mail to check his parents' homeowners insurance for coverage. Robertson said student housing would most likely not reimburse Bowers for any damages to his personal property. She said students should either buy renters insurance or check their family's homeowners insurance policy to make sure they're covered. McCollum Hall is the last dormitory on Daisy Hill scheduled for renovations. Templin, Lewis and Hashinger halls were renovated in the last 10 years. Renovations for GSP Hall, located on the north side of campus, are scheduled to begin in May. "As far as the money it takes to live here versus the conditions that we live in,it's pretty unacceptable." LUKE BOWERS Marion junior negligent in, then I'm going to work with them on that," Robertson said. "But when it's something that we wouldn't have reason to have known was going to occur, things might happen that we hadn't anticipated or predicted." In those incidents, Robertson said, student housing was not liable for damages. MOLD SIGHTINGS Alex, a freshman from Lawrence, and who didn't want her last name used because she will still be living in McCollum Hall, said she and her roommate noticed mold on a leaky pipe in their room about six weeks ago. Maintenance fixed the leaky pipe by wrapping it in duct tape, covering the tape with foam insulation and painting the insulation white, Alex said. When the pipe continued to leak, a maintenance person placed a bucket under it and told Alex it would stop in a few days. She said the pipe still leaked on occasion. Alex said she had two respiratory infections this semester. Her doctor told her the infections were caused by bacteria in her lungs, which she said might have come from the mold. "I just wish it wasn't a health hazard," Alex said about living in McCollum Hall. — Edited by David Cawthon Chris Neal/KANSAN The air conditioning units inside McCollum have been an issue for the building's residents. Some students have had to take off the cover to their unit and clean the inside because of a musty smell and mold, which sometimes causes sickness.

According to a survey published in Nutrition Journal in 2007, more than half of college students reported drinking energy drinks at least once a month. These drinks are popular, but they may not be healthy. Sure, everyone knows that energy drinks have caffeine. That's the point. But what about the extras Energy drinks advertise ingredients like taurine, guarana and ginseng. Ann Chapman, dietitian at the Wellness Resource Center at Wattkins Memorial Health Center, said some energy drinks could be potentially harmful. Those extras aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and studies have shown mixed results on the effects these ingredients have on consumers' bodies. Fillmore said when it comes to the extras like the taurine that Red Bull tots, he doesn't really think much about it.

"It's usually pretty fun," said Emily Pabst, a graduate student from Columbia, Mo. "I think some participants come in for the extra credit thinking that it's going to be boring but then really end up having a fun time." Orienteer Kansas, a community organization, is a new addition to this year's KU Geography Awareness Week. The group will teach participants how to orienteer, or race through unknown areas with only a compass and topographic map. Celebrations first kicked off on Monday and Tuesday with free screenings of the documentary films "Thirst" and"The Boys of Baraka". Pabst said that the week had been a success with more than 100 students turning out to watch the films. "The films had a pretty good showing." Pobst said. "It's always nice when students take an interest in the events we plan." Other events included GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Day held last Wednesday in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The all-day event hosted presentations on the various uses of GIS including disaster relief and criminal investigation. Pabst said one nice thing about GIS Day is that it had a job fair for any students interested in pursuing a career in the field of geography.

She loved the feeling of making a positive change with the international organization's community service projects. When Kyzer came to the University as a freshman last fall, she wanted to continue her service with the organization and decided to join the college equivalent of Key Club — Circle K International. There was just one problem. "KU didn't have a Circle K," Kyzer said. "And I was like well, I'm a freshman, I can't do anything, forget that." But the more Kyzer thought about it, the more she missed Key Club. So this year, she decided to take action and form a Circle K chapter for the University. "It's the biggest service organization in the world, and yet KU doesn't have it," Kyzer said. "So we're going to start it." Through Facebook and word of mouth, the organization has grown to include 14 members just six shy of the 20 needed to become an official chapter with Kiwanis International, the overseeing body for Key Club and Circle K. With the assistance of the Lawrence Kiwanis chapter, the University's still-forming Circle K chapter plans to start its community service work with small projects like ringing bells for the Salvation Army and serving food at local soup kitchens. "So far just getting the word out there has been the hardest part," said Gabrielle Reimer, a sophomore from Meade. "There are many community service organizations here at KU so it can be hard to get people to join." Emily Miller, a junior from Lawrence, said Circle K is unique to other community service organizations in that, as a new club, members have more say in the events that are put on. "Other groups have traditions that they follow and we have the opportunity to make up our own traditions," Miller said. "We are starting from scratch." The group hopes that its small projects will lead to bigger service events in the future. One possibility includes a holiday event for area children. "I'm just looking forward to seeing it if it's actually going to work out." Kyzer said with a laugh. "More importantly, I think we're all excited to see what kind of an impact we can have in the community." Students interested in joining the University's Circle K chapter can contact the group at kansascki@gmail.com. The group meets every other Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union. Edited by Joel Petterson CAMPUS KU promotes buddy system created by journalism class BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Molly Kretzer's homework has been posted on University police cars, doors of local bars and even the big screen at Memorial Stadium. That's where the Office of Student Success is putting the logo for its new responsible-drinking campaign called the "Jayhawk Buddy System," which started in Kretzer's campaigns class. In the class, which was taught by associate professor of journalism Bob Basow last spring, students do research and develop a campaign for a client. Kretzer, a senior from Wichita, said students in her class traveled to several universities across the nation to research effective responsible-drinking messages with money donated by O'Malley Beverage, a local distributor for Anheuser-Busch. Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student success, said his office used the research to learn a couple of things about how to reach students. "Students don't like to be preached at, threatened or scared," he said. "We know that students who get in trouble are often the ones who get separated from their friends at the end of the night," DeSalvo said. That's why the "Jayhawk Buddy System" campaign focuses on positive actions students can take. There's even a positive acronym for the plan that goes with it: IACT. Kretzer's campaigns class did the research together but divided into six groups that came up with different campaign proposals for their customer — the University. Kretzer was on the five-member team that proposed the buddy system. The Office of Student Success took the proposal and made changes to it before introducing it to the University Nov. 1. For example, Kretzer said, her group's proposal didn't include IACT, but it did include suggestions for how to handle the campaign, like with Greek Life or during Hawk Week. "As soon as we gave our presentation, it was in their hands," she said. "It was its product. That's the point of the campaigns class." She said the class took its research approach mostly from the model at the University of Virginia, which focused on in-depth polling to delve into the students' behavior. They conducted their own focus groups with freshmen and sophomores, asking about their habits and opinions on certain key topics like fake IDs or binge drinking. Kretzer said the class found that students consistently overestimated the drinking habits of their peers, thinking that others drank more regularly or dangerously than they actually did. "If people realize they are in the majority, it might change how they act," she said. Kretzer said the University of Virginia's approach used the in-depth information to create positive messages, and it found out that those positive messages worked better with students. Her group applied that lesson to its buddy system proposal, adding ten rules of partying that correlate with the research they did. "Count sheep, not shots," she JAYHAWK BUDDY SYSTEM: IACT said, as an example of a rule. "More than 40 percent of KU students have not passed out from drinking." Kretzer said the University of Nebraska was a good example of "It's being built right now," she said. Chief Ralph Oliver of the KU Public Safety Office said the University police have "jumped right on top of" the campaign. The logo is on a few police cars, but not all yet. - Agree on a game plan - Check in with your buddy regularly - Take charge to return home together "Their community efforts are intense" she said. She said Lawrence's partnership between community and the University isn't as strong as that in Lincoln, Neb., but things like the safe bar alliance — another project that used the class' research — are improving that partnership. effectively implementing a drinking campaign, because it coordinated the police, the community and the university well. Oliver said his officers would be able to discuss it with anyone who asks about the logo, like when they work crowd control at a football or basketball game. DeSalvo said the community pitched in with this campaign. In addition to the funding from O'Malley Beverage, he said that Lawrence-based advertising agency Callahan Creek donated the campaign logo and bars around town are now sporting the logo. "When people have too much alcohol, it can go medical or criminal," he said. "We prefer to deal with less life-threatening situations." "If people realize they are in the majority, it might change how they act." MOLLY KRETZER Wichita senior De Salvo said that now that his office has debuted the campaign with its IACT slogan, they "It's a multidimensional effort, and we are not alone in this," he said. want to enhance it.

Rowling, no one has spent more time presenting the tales of "Harry Potter" than David Yates, director of the last four movies in the epic film series. One great contrast apparent with "Part 1" was Yates getting out into the real world to film. He and his crew spent months "I've been working on the movies for five or six years now. I can't really remember," says Yates in a telephone interview from London. It's a rather hectic time for Yates, who is in the middle of furor for the world premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" and editing the second part to be released in July. What Yates has done through the years is create contrasts, whether it be in the growth of characters or the way the films have been shot. inside soundstages bringing "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to the screen. The latest "Potter" puts the three central heroes — Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) — on the run from the evil forces who've taken over the magical world. "It was incredibly liberating for me and crew to be able to shoot in London and across the countryside," Yates said. "There's the scene where the Yates loved the contrasts that came from taking the three iconic characters — who had spent almost all their time in magical worlds — and dropping them in the gritty reality of downtown London. He thinks the jeux de position gives the film a huge creative punch. as a dance sequence he calls "a very delicate and tender moment." three of them are on the beach and the tide is coming in. Daniel is freezing but we just keep rolling because we were able to capture an energy and a moment that would have been impossible to get on a soundstage." Whether on a soundstage or location, Yates has created a very distinct look for the "Potter" films using light and dark as a metaphor for the changes going on in the life of the young magician. He wanted the lighting to reflect the anger, fear, joy and confusion Harry has had to deal with through this long And then Yates fills the new movie with quiet moments, such "It was incredibly liberating for me and crew to be able to shoot in London and the countryside." DAVID YATES Director film journey. more contrasts are coming. Yates said there's a dramatic difference between the two halves of the finale. He's designed the first half of the "Deathly Hallows" to be an edgy road film accented with a love story. Audiences will have to fasten their seatbelt for "Part 2." "The second film is going to be this huge operatic tale full of big battles and dragons." Yates said. "It will be this epic fantasy finale." The final scene at the end of "Part 1" is, Yates said, a small sampling of what to expect with the second movie. Once the last "Harry Potter" film has been released, Yates will begin his search for a new project.

Since 2008, Hulu has streamed current and past TV shows and movies to PCs free, a service that in October drew nearly 30 million viewers who spent an average of 208 minutes on the site in After lots of testing, the hit online video site Hulu launched its Hulu Plus pay service for $7.99 per month, Wednesday.

What differentiates Hulu Plus is the availability of full seasons of current TV shows, such as "Glee," "Modern Family" and "The Office," provided by the networks that started Hulu. It's now offering more than 240 seasons of TV shows with 2,400 episodes. Darling, Yes, one time I did have the urge to study, but I took a nap and quickly got over it. The availability of network shows has made Hulu a useful service for consumers moving away from cable TV services, although the free version of Hulu may lose some of its appeal if the site moves more premium content behind its pay wall. Hulu is taking its time with the Plus launch, though. For now the premium service will only be available on streaming media devices made by Roku and Sony's PlayStation 3 game console. The company said that covers more than 50 million devices in the U.S. That does not include users who access the service on their Apple products or their home computers. It's aiming to be as ubiquitous on Web-connected TV devices as Netflix. Hulu Plus will be available "in the months to come" on the Xbox 360, TiVo Premiere DVRs and Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players made by Vizio, LG and Panasonic. Hulu Plus is also coming soon to mobile phones, tablet computers, and additional devices.

This was a move that, in retrospect, effectively defined his administration's future efforts at curbing global warming; halfhearted and misguided. Oh winter, what a cruel reminder you are of the fact that I cannot grow a beard. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Progress on climate change still possible in new Congress Since then, an international agreement on climate change has been a pipe dream. It's time for Obama to reverse the trend and finally allow the United States to be the leader it should have been nine years ago. The Kyoto Protocol was agreed upon in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan. It requires signatory countries to cut emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, a step that scientists agree is a necessary starting point in reversing global warming. Global warming has been proven to disrupt weather patterns, raise sea levels, harm wildlife, and contribute to higher rates of asthma and allergies. Nearly all industrialized countries have ratified the Protocol, including Japan, most of Europe, Russia, India, and China. The United States which is responsible for just under a quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions, remains a signatory but has not yet ratified. President Bush called the Kyoto Protocol "an unrealistic and Let's Talk Policy BY MEGAN ADAMS ever-tightening straightbacket," because it put the United States at an economic disadvantage and was far too limiting. In contrast, President Obama stated during his campaign, "My presidency will mark a new chapter in America's leadership on climate change that will strengthen our security and create millions of new jobs in the process." Though it pains me to admit it, President Obama's stance on climate change since the campaign trail has been largely symbolic. And now with exactly half of the Republican newcomers to the new Congress denying human influence on climate change, according to the Center for American Progress, the future looks grim. The presumptive Speaker of the House, John Boehner, said in April 2009, on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that, "The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical." However, there are realistic options for the Obama administration that could end our decade-long dry spell on climate change progress. Moving away from the clearly controversial cap-and-trade approach to an energy independence approach is key. President Obama can easily convince the new Congress and the American people of the need for American independence from foreign oil and a renewed focus on alternative energy sources. Talks on climate change are going to be held in Cancun in December. In between resort-hopping, President Obama should not only be an instrumental part of policy discussions, but also prove to those countries that doubt our intentions that the United States will play a very different role than it did under President Bush. This is one of the few issues you can be optimistic about with the new Congress. With some reframing of the approach, President Obama can make great progress on climate change. Though we can't take back our nine years of inaction, it is certainly time to turn the page on one of, if not the most, pressing issues of our time.

EDITORIAL CARTOON WILL BE FOOD 4 WORK MARIAM SAIFAN GUEST COLUMN If you've got nothing useful to say, shut up According to Nielsen Internet ratings, YouTube was the number one most visited Internet video site in the U.S. during September, totaling over 100 million unique users. While a statistic like that probably doesn't incite a reaction of shock and awe, one might be interested to know that YouTube beat out the number two most visited site for video content (Facebook) by about 68 million users. I think it's safe to say the average American heads to YouTube for their daily video content fix. If you're a regular "You Tuber" then I'm sure you've found yourself reading the video comments section, maybe even posting a few words of praise or criticism. Personally, I've spent a long time avoiding entrance into heated YouTube comment wars. Lately however, I find myself tempted to respond — not so much to the video I just watched but to other user's comments. As the days grow shorter during these approaching winter months, so does my patience for assholes. Yes, assholes. Last night I watched a really bad music video on YouTube (I'll refrain from inserting song and artist information as not to offend anybody's personal tastes) and was curious to see people's feedback on the video. I knew I hated it but it was critically acclaimed, and I hoped that a quick down scroll would provide Instead of discovering musical revelations, I found myself reading hundreds of comments endorsing and debating smoking weed and doing other drugs (quoted mentions include "shrooms," "da Tacy" and "oxycotton"). I mean, this song did have drug references — don't get me wrong. But any able-bodied Google user could have easily done a lyrics search and realized that the song wasn't putting the "cool" stamp of approval on drug use but was merely discussing this artist's need for an escape tool (believe me, there weren't any complicated metaphors here). And no, I'm not about to start on an anti-drug rant -- that's not my point and not my place. me with some insight as to what I was missing. After all, this video had thousands of "thumbs up!" What I'm saying here is that whatever debate might have existed that was actually pertinent to the song had become buried beneath a slew of personal attacks, copied and pasted Erowid factoids and just dumb arguments (both in defense and in opposition of drugs). Now, technically, I could have saved myself the irritation by simply navigating away from the site. Clearly, drug use is a sore subject for me. Sitting on YouTube and allowing my anxiety to escalate was not the best move. But alas, once I started it seemed impossible to stop. I read and read and then read some more. There were moments where I felt my heart drop into the pit of my stomach — especially after reading something along the lines of, "your friend is fucking dumb and he didn't know how shoot up the right way, he deserved to die." I couldn't help but think, who the hell is the asshole and what propels him/her to take time out of their day to talk that kind of shit? It was moments like this, that went so beyond your "pothead vs. sober guy" debate and endorsements of experimentation in moderation, that it was clear that some people weren't interested in weighing in on the already off-topic issue — they just wanted to be dicks. It's unfortunate that some people have decided to use the number one video site on the Internet to spread their hate and agenda. The beautiful thing about open forums is that they allow you to express your opinions and discuss issues. Like many good things handed to us on a golden platter, people in our society have managed to take negative advantage of the forum — something that could have been, and may still be, a powerful and useful tool for us to honestly learn from one another. -From UWIRE.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR DADT makes already hard life unnecessarily difficult Can you imagine waking up one day and discovering your country does not approve you to get married or serving in the military because you'd rather be kissing Cinderella than the prince? Caroline Bledowski's column from Nov. 15th about DADT reminded me that the fight for gay rights is far from over. I believe everyone deserves the right to marry the person they love, gender be damned. If we keep on saying, "soldiers will worry about the guy they are sleeping next to instead of terrorists if we repeal DADT," we are reinforcing fear, not camaraderie. The military believes in integrity and honesty. I don't see any integrity or honesty in telling soldiers to keep their homosexuality quiet while allowing heterosexuals to freely talk about personal lives. All the homosexuals I know in the military serve just as bravely as their heterosexual counterparts, but they are even lonelier because they can't go out and flirt with someone of the same sex without the fear of being discharged. The life of a soldier is lonely. Gay soldiers have it worse because they can't talk about their personal lives or to their partners on the same level as heterosexual soldiers. The soldiers I know don't think about whom is sleeping near them. They keep their minds on their mission. If we're so concerned about people of the same sex sleeping together, we should probably fix dormitories too. After all, those are separated into single gender sleeping areas, thus they are more dangerous grounds for homosexual acts to occur. Yes, you could catch "the gay" if sleeping near someone who is gay because every gay person is attracted to every person of the same sex, just like every heterosexual is attracted to every member of the opposite sex. Also, pigs could fly. Lauren Bornstein is a KU graduate and former Kansan columnist LETTER TO THE EDITOR Taxes benefit everyone, but not everyone may realize it When debating incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980, challenger Ronald Reagan scored by replying to Carter's arguments with a simple, scornful "There you go again." Though I was no fan of Reagan, I cite him in the wake of another Seth Robinson column that embarrasses its author. Seth's targets in his 11.11.2010 column are "Obamacare" and the toll it takes on taxpayers. Known for sweeping denunciations of the federal government, Seth outdoes himself "Nobody should be forced to give his or her money away for anything," he proclaims. Taken at face value, this is hard to dispute. But I think Seth really means to say that "Obamacare" exemplifies the twnancy of taxation. Let's assume Seth's right. Let's also imagine that Congressional Republicans repeal "Obamacare" and override the President's veto. That would still leave lots of forcible confiscation of citizens' hard-earned money unadressed. Would Seth have the persistence to keep pursuing his ideal? Unlikely, since he benefits from what he calls robbery. Although Seth boasts that private donations helped build KU's engineering school, he fails to acknowledge that public donations (i.e., tax revenues) help make his education possible Perhaps Seth doesn't know (or doesn't want to know) that the "Obama stimulus" has provided almost $20 million to KU research; http://www.rgs.ku.edu/leaders/researchstimulus/. Even though he frequents Learned Hall, maybe Seth has missed the billboard near its main entrance. That billboard displays information about how stimulus funds, combined with private sector initiatives, are working to improve the facility where he earns his degree. Seth denies that opposing "Obamacare" makes him "greedy." That much is true, but his actions tell a different story. If Seth truly believes all taxation is robbery, he must give up his public university privileges and transfer to an institution funded wholly and voluntarily by private donors. So long as he remains at KU, there is no reason to believe that Seth lives up to his stated principle and every reason to believe that he is greedy.

The Take Charge Challenge, a $100,000 sustainability contest that will match Lawrence and the University of Kansas against Manhattan and Kansas State University, was agreed to by city commissioners earlier this month. The contest will measure each community's ability to save energy. energy: "We're trying to bring people together with a few common goals in mind — saving energy, saving money and helping your community win," said Dorothy Barnett, director of energy and transmission for the Climate and Energy Project, an organizer of the competition. The challenge, supported by the aforementioned Climate and Energy Project and the state-run Kansas Energy Office, will weigh Lawrence and Manhattan in three categories from January through September of 2011 to determine the community that has reduced its energy usage the most. The winning community will then receive a $100,000 grant to start a public energy efficiency project in its city. The three categories include: The three categories include: · The percentage of residents that sign up for home energy audits from Efficiency Kansas, a state program from the Kansas Energy Office. - The percentage of residents that sign up for Westar Energy's EfficiencyWorksprograms,which can include the installation of programmable thermostats and heat pump systems. -Consider walking, biking, motorcycles, public transportation, trains or car pools.

Five local coordinators are also being hired by the Climate and Energy Project for the contest. Margaret Tran, the Lawrence coordinator and a recent KU graduate, said one of the main focuses of the challenge will be raising awareness among students. "Combining forces with students at KU will allow that natural rivalry to carry over to this energy efficiency competition," she said efficiency competition. The winner will accept a $100,000 grant next October that can be used on any type of energy efficiency or renewable energy project in their city, though the specific details of this have not been discussed yet.

WWW.KANSAN.COM KANSAS 85, TEXAS A&M CORPUS CHRISTI 44 Despite win, turnovers high KANSAS 21 Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis goes for a shot in the game against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Kansas will face Wisconsin Sunday at 5 p.m. Evan Palmer/KANSAN BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com "I didn't care what the score was," Henrickson said. "It was about execution, about effort, about how we're supposed to play." Maintaining their four-game winning streak, the Jayhawks came out strong. But what seemed like a strong start quickly translated into a series of sloppy offensive and defense possessions. Still, it was Davis' 22 points that led the lavhaws. With this kind of offensive production, KU's 85-44 victory wasn't shocking. Still, coach Bonnie Henrickson was unsatisfied. Plain and simple, she said the Jayhawks' performance was "just uelb." With 13 minutes left on the clock before halftime, senior guard Marisa Brown ended that trend when she grabbed a steal and finished on the other end. In her first career start, Brown finished with eight points, five rebounds and two steals. "I want to carry my team," Davis said. "I know what I can do inside and I want to make my teammates better." Henrickson said her defensive and rebounding aggressiveness made her ready for the starting spot. Hallway through the first half, Davis headed to the bench. As the islanders edged closer, coach Bonnie Henrickson called on Davis' offensive production to recover the lead. The energy she added to the court was palpable. She ended the half with 20 points and helped the layawks hold a 44-26 halftime lead. When Carolyn Davis stepped on the floor, her mission was clear: exploit her height and size advantage against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Just seven minutes into the game, she had already scored 14 points and nailed all six of her shots. That's not to say KU's offensive play was perfect, or anything close to it. The Islanders took advantage of the Jayhawks' 13 first-half turnovers, converting them into 14 first half points. Kansas finished with 29 turnovers in the game. What seemed like a different team at the start of the half ended up no less sloppy than before the break. The Jayhawks started the second half with an 8-0 scoring streak that forced visiting coach Robert Robinson to call a timeout less than three minutes into play. rebounds and had two blocks and three steals. "We got it to her pretty quick," Henrickson said. "I was like, 'Throw her the play until you can't get it to her anymore.'" Davis had just a few touches in Sunday's game against the University of South Dakota and refused to allow that happen again. She demanded the ball inside and her guards got it her. "The last game I let my player get a few shots off, so I've been working on making sure that doesn't happen again," Sutherland said. "I've always been a rebounder, but this time I made sure to go to the boards every time." The Jayhawks maintained a steady lead, despite the fact that they hit their first shot from behind the arc with only six minutes left in the game. The team's outsideshoot, sophomore guard Monica Engelman, scored only six points in the first half, but finished with 10 by the end of the game. Henrickson said she was confused by her hesitance to shoot, something she doesn't see in practice. The self-proclaimed "inconsistent" player, Aisher Sahaher didn't show that side against the islanders. In just 21 minutes, she scored 13 points, grabbed 13 "We got down early and that kind of destroyed our confidence," Robinson said. "I got myself in a funk that I had no business being in."

Jerrv Wang/KANSAM Friday's game gives Jayhawks chance to match home win mark Marcus Morris, before the season started, said that he had two goals in his career. The first was one that any basketball player will give you: Win a national championship. The second was a bit more unique. "I can't, can't. CAN'T go out saying that they lost at home when I was here," he said. "Can't do that. My senior year, too. I can't. There's no way. I've got to win every game here.

And if Kansas wins Friday against North Texas, it'll be how many games in a row Kansas will have won at Allen Fieldhouse, which ESPN ranked as the loudest arena in all of college basketball this offseason So far, so good. Through 57 career home games Marcus has yet to stumble, and the Jayhawks' home winning streak has run for a total of 61. It doesn't count for anything official, of course, but coach Bill Self, who has lost six home games in his seven years at Kansas, said he is "pretty proud" of the streak. For the players, the streak seems to play the role of both an accomplishment to be proud of and a cross to bear. Morris, Mario Little and Tyshawn Taylor "It's not the most important streak," Self said. "Id rather win six in a row in March and April than 60 in a row at home, there's no question." all responded to questions about the streak with the same basic formula: Yeah, it's something we take pride in, but we do not want to be the guys who screw it up. Brady Morningstar is the only Jayhawk who has lost on James Naismith Court. The last time Kansas lost on its home court, it was to a Texas A&M team with a coach, Billy Gillispie, who left to coach another team and is now unemployed and a star player, Acie Law IV, who is now a three-year veteran with his second NBA team. "I can't, can't, CAN'T go out saying that they lost at home when I was here. Can't do that. My senior year, too. I can't. There's no way." that streak to end while I'm here. I don't want it to be like, 'Aw, it ended during the Morris twins era.'$^{40}$ "I don't want to be a part of the team that breaks it," Taylor said. "I don't want to be around when that happens." MARCUS MORRIS Junior forward Morris painted the same picture. The Jayhawks give credit to "I strive day in and day out to make sure that streak continues," he said. "Because I don't want the fans, as well. Marcus Morris said the Fieldhouse has the best home-court advantage in the country, and Bill Self said there were some games that Kansas never would have won on "We've had some wins that you'd think that there was no way we could pull off without the sixth man."

COMMENTARY Tweets put athletes in hot water too often BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com I was upset to see the error message, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist" when I went to check junior guard Tyshawn Taylor's twitter account, @tytocool10. But the more I think about it, I need to give kudos to Taylor. It took some personal willpower to get off Twitter. A year ago, Taylor was at the center of the confrontation between the football and basketball teams and posted several statuses on his Facebook. Taylor deleted his Facebook back in January and recently reactivated it right before the school year started. When asked why he got off Twitter, Taylor said, "Just 'cause, man." He said that he has to stay off for a little while. I am hoping he gets back on after the season starts because his tweets are entertaining, but Taylor isn't sure if he will. He is thinking about it, but he may just stay off for a while. I think it's good for athletes, especially college athletes, to deactivate their accounts. I sometimes procrastinate from important work because I am too busy tweeting and reading others' tweets. A student athlete's focus is to be a student first and an athlete second. Recently, Detroit Pistons forward Charlie Villaneueva tweeted that Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett called Villaneueva a cancer patient. The Boston Celtics' director of basketball operations, Danny Ainge, said on Boston sports radio station WEEK1 that the tweet from Villaneueva didn't make light of the situation, but rather called unnecessary attention to himself. I agree with Ainge, and knowing the clean track record of Garnett, I wouldn't suspect him of calling Villaneueva a cancer patient. Besides, Garnett said in an interview with ESPN Boston, "My comment to Charlie Villaneueva was in fact 'You are cancerous to your team and our league,' I would never be insensitive to the brave struggle that cancer patients endure. I have lost loved ones to this deadly disease and have a family member currently undergoing treatment. I would never say anything that distasteful. The game of life is far bigger than the game of basketball." Of the players on the basketball team, seven have Twitter accounts. I don't know how much the players check what their followers say to them, but I can just imagine it being a distraction if somebody says something negative. I think there is too much attention drawn to some of these athletes. Twitter just gets players in trouble. Last season, former Chris running back Larry Johnson had tweets toward coach Todd Haley saying that Johnson's father had more credentials to coach and that Todd Haley had no football experience. There is a reason that leagues like the NFL and NBA banned players from ttesting during the any part of their games, including halftime. It is a distraction to the player and to teammates. As a journalist, I love that players have Twitter. It allows the media some access to their thoughts when we can't talk to them in person. But I would love to see the NCAA make a rule that puts a limit on social media, because the players are playing for the name on the front, not the back.

Walker, whose previous career best was 29, hit 15 of 24 shots, including four 3-pointers. His 42 points tied Cliff Robinson's record for a UConn game played in Hartford. Associated Press A little too early for 'memoirs' MORNING BREW First it was Todd Reesing. Now Tim Tebow. These two are the most recent contributors to a bizarre trend in the world of sports literature. It's called (so far, just by me) the "mini-moir." Mini-moirs are similar to memoirs, but as in the case of Reesing and Tebow, they're written by people who are at the stage in life where they have no business writing memoirs yet. Reesing published his mini-moir "Rising to New Heights" earlier this fall, while publisher HarperCollins announced last week that Tebow planned on releasing his own mini-moir, "Through My Eyes", in April 2011. At first, it seems ridiculous to write an account of one's life just a few months after earning a college degree. Itd be sort of like the Olson twins getting a lifetime-achievement award. But it's actually a smart move for the two former NCAA quarterbacks, Tebow made it to the NFL, but there's no guarantee how long he can cut it in the pros. Reesing had even less luck in the ruthless CFL, getting cut by the powerhouse Saskatchewan Roughriders after a few weeks in training camp. Thus, whatever money either quarterback can make from their mini-moirs will certainly be welcome. In fact, the athlete-author role might be a good career move for a few other jayhawks. If Justin Bieber can write a mini-moir (which he has), surely anyone can. And here's a few Kansas athletes, past and present, who could get away with writing a mini-moir: POLICY BY JOEL PETTERSON petterson@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW Josh Selby — Selby has accomplished even less in his life than Reesing and Tebow, so he could write a great mini-moir. It'd be a cliffhanger — the story of a young boy from Baltimore who perseveres through all kinds of hardships and earns a scholarship to a top college basketball program. There, however, he is stifled by the Man (the NCAA) who prevents him from doing what the poor kid has wanted to do since he was little; just play ball. Selby would persevere and learn valuable lessons about himself, but the book would end abruptly before the NCAA makes an announcement. It'd be a great setup for the sequel. C. J. Henry — Remember C.J.? The big brother of one-and-done Xavier? The one who wasn't a lottery pick in the NBA Draft? The one who now plays at a small NAIA school in Oklahoma? He could certainly write an interesting mini-moir. It would tell the story of how, through grit and determination, he worked his way from being merely a first-round draft pick by the New York Yankees to riding the bench on two interested NCAA basketball teams before finally arriving as a star on the Southern Nazarene University basketball team. What a roller coaster ride. Seemingly a downhill ride, but that's the fun part of a roller coaster anyway. He could use his mini-moir to explain exactly where he's headed with this backwards career. Mario Chalmers — Chalmers could start a whole new genre: the ultra-mini-moir. His whole book would detail just the seven seconds in the 2008 national championship game starting with the inbound pass and ending as his shot falls through the basket. Hed have chapter titles like "Watching Darnell Jackson inbound the ball," "What went through my head when Sherron tripped" and "Bringing the ball from my waist to my shoulders." Don't act like you wouldn't read it, because you would. And you love it.

Davis said. "Bear Bryant will always be the standard in the SEC, but Spurrier is in that upper echelon." "He just went back to where he made his bones, beat the heck out of a team that has won two national championships in the last five seasons, and it wasn't a field election. Spurrier took some time Tuesday during his news conference to reflect on the title, but not much. The No. 17 Gamecocks play Troy on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. "It was a wonderful weekend last week for the Gamecocks. For us to get a division championship for the first time was certainly special for all Gamecocks," he said. "I do want to thank the baseball team for getting it started and proving you could certainly win championships here at South Carolina." Bryant in SEC victories with 110. If the Gamecocks beat Auburn in Atlanta, he will move into sole possession of second place in SEC titles. His six titles are tied with former Mississippi coach John Vaught and former Georgia coach Vince Dooley. Florida finished first in 1990 under Spurrier, but the Gators were on probation and the conference doesn't recognize the championship. the champion, Spurrier did seem to be enjoying the title in Gainesville, Fla., after beating the Gators, senior "Everything was out there for the first time. It was neat to accomplish that." STEVE SPURRIER South Carolina coach With a win in the Dec. 4 SEC championship game, Spurrier would become the third coach to win SEC titles at two different schools, joining Bryant (Kentucky and Alabama) and Nick Saban (LSU and Alabama). “It's big for his legacy, and it's great for ours, too,” South Carolina junior Akeem Auguste said. “He probably is just as excited as we are.” offensive lineman Hutch Eckerson said. "As you know, coach Spurrier is a perfectionist," Eckerson said. "If he tells you, you did a good job, you can believe that. Everybody Spurrier is second behind If he is, he's trying to hide it.

Growing up for six years in Nigeria has also shaped how Oguntodu views raising his fouryear-old daughter, Kloi. "Therefore I think that there are people in positions to change that, and the only way you change things is for one individual to decide that it is time for this to stop." Oguntodu said. "It was an experience that, to some selfish reasons, I kind of want my daughter to experience because it gives you an appreciation of others. It gives you an appreciation of what is going around in the world but I mean, "School definitely came first in our house." I said that, but it's rough so you have to take it with a grain of salt," Oguntodu said.

The group meets every Friday. A Frisbee group meets every Friday BY SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com As classes grow more challenging nearing finals week, a team of Kansas students holds on to hope through playing Frisbee. For two years, Ultimate Frisbee has represented relaxation and the end of the week to this team. Every Friday the team deemed the Navigators get together and play a game of Frisbee, named "Frisbee Fridays." Sophomore Brandon Ware says he starts looking forward to Frisbee Fridays starting Monday mornings, and the team agrees. Sometimes, Frisbee Fridays can take out, even trump class. Teammate Dermyer agrees. "Nothing makes me feel better than sneaking a pass into one of my teammates in the end zone." Ware said. "It's probably the highlight of my Friday afternoon," junior Levi Dermyre. "I have lab usually, but as I like to tell my teacher, I've got some teaching to do on the Frisbee field." The mental highlight reel in my mind is filled each week with dominant defensive plays, mostly people rejecting the Frisbee. Something just seems good about The teams are selected through a coin toss, and afterward analyzed to make sure the teams are fair, based on experience level. Players are ranked off talent similar to football and track. The faster and more agile a player, the better. "Everyone is so encouraging," sophomore Mallory Bayles said, "Even when I miss a pass, they still give me high fives and tell me 'good try.'" Ultimate Frisbee serves as a stress reliever, as well as a chance to be competitive. Strategy in a game with two rules — no running with the Frisbee, and no dropping the Frisbee — has to be creative. that," he said. Frisbee can seem pretty innocent, but the Frisbee Friday team makes sure to keep things interesting. Ware leaves plenty of room for smack talk. "They think I'm pretty good," he said, "I'm definitely not the best out there but I can hold my own against almost anyone." Smack talk is not all that is being thrown around on the Frisbee field; some minor injuries have occurred in play. "It can get pretty intense," Bayles said, "A lot of times, we will end up on the ground." Both Bayles and Ware have come out of a game with bruises and scraps. "Craigcatchesnearlyeverything that comes near him, whether he is on offense or defense," he said. "Any time I can beat the odds and catch it near him is always a good feeling." At the end of the day, it is all fun and games, and a chance to meet new friends. Ware said he has made some of his best friends on the team. But with Winter Break fast approaching, the weather is beginning to take a turn for the "Everyone "Nothing makes me feel better than sneaking a pass into of my teammates in the end zone." gets banged up from time to time. There have been a few collisions, elbows, slips, etc.," he said. BRANDON WARE sophomore Fond memories have been created through the team. Ware said one of his favorite memories was beating his six-and-a-half-foot tall teammate, Craig Bell, to a catch. worse. "If it's really bad weather on Friday, we usually don't play," sophomore Becky Connod said. While the weather is tolerable, the team is hoping to get as many games in as possible, welcoming all new players. "It is open for anyone to play," Bayles said, "We always love new members."

BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com kuentrcertificate.org Kansas' posts were a dominant force during its 85-44 victory over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders. Junior forward Aishah Sutherland and sophomore forward Carolyn Davis were standout players on both offense and defense, especially compared to their performances in the Saturday's game against South Dakota. game against South Dakota. In the first half alone, Davis made nine of 10 field goal attempts with two additional free throws. That gave her 20 points in the first half - a big improvement from her 12 total points against South Dakota. She led the first half in points for both games. Davis played for five minutes in the second half and hit one of three field goals. She did gain two offensive rebounds to bring her total to seven, which matches her rebounding performance during the South Dakota game. Davis recognized that this was not the same level of post play that she will be facing in Big 12 play. she will be being asked. "I think I see that the teams are smaller and I am just using that to my advantage," she said. "A lot of times coach is saying that I was not being demanding of the ball and I think she is right. I was settling for just playing behind and getting the lob. I think I need to start play bigger and understanding that the teams we are going to play against are going to be bigger." Playing alongside Davis was Sutherland, who acted as a commanding rebounder with four of defensive and five defensive rebounds during the first half. She also contributed two steals and a turnover during the first half. Sutherland played for the first seven minutes of the second half and gained an additional four rebounds to bring her game total to 13. She also picked up a block to bring her game total to two. Like Davis, Sutherland managed to score during her second half appearance to bring her to 13 total points. It was her first double-double this season and the seventh in her career. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she thought her team's performance was lackluster and lackadaisical. "We're not as experienced on the perimeter and that is what is just so darn obvious. We played really inexperienced and undisciplined today," she said. Sutherland has been a natural defender her entire life and it was evident in her play. However, because of her natural ability she has not been playing to the exact level that she and her coaches are looking for. This could be due to the level of opponents that the Jayhawks have been facing. In the end, the Jayhawks strong post defensive play kept the Islanders below 50 points to ensure a 41-point victory. "My coach told me, 'You need to be working on your defense. You can't just play after the fact by blocking shots,' because that is what I usually do." Sutherland said Player of the Game Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis Davis reached double digits in scoring less than five minutes into the first half. She also made her first eight shots of the game.

Green coasted past Auburn defenders throughout the first half Saturday, twice catching easy touchdown passes after having left a cornerback at least five yards in his wake. It's been a common sight this year and has prompted the same question, in various forms, from everyone who has watched the Tigers: is this an SEC and NCAA championship-caliber defense? While the Cam Newton probe hangs over the program like a sword of Damocles, many think something else could derail the No. 2 Tigers' chances of making it to Glendale, Ariz., for the national title game: a defense that is ranked No. 58 nationally. "Offenses are very explosive these days," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. "All of us would love to have better numbers here in terms of what the final result is on paper. We're like anybody. We're a work in progress all the time. We're trying to get better." It's a difficult task in the SEC, which, thanks to an influx of innovative minds the last few years — Auburn's Gus Malzahn, Mississippi State's Dan Mullen and Arkansas' Bobby Petrino, to name a few Seven of the league's teams are averaging 30 points or better this season and 11 are scoring 25 points or more. It's something that hasn't happened in the last decade, despite the proliferation of spread offenses that have altered the game. "Football's changing," Auburn defensive coordinator Ted Roof said. "If you look at the SEC, for instance, how much it's changed since three or four years ago to now with all the spread offenses and the high tempo things and things of that nature. "But that's the transition of college football." Roof, a coaching veteran of 24 years, said it's cyclical, recalling when the wishbone was all the rage in the '80s before defenses caught up. But spread offenses have increased scoring across the board lately. Does it mean teams are redefining defensive success? "You define it by what you see when you turn on the tape and if you're getting what you're coaching." Roof said. "That's how. And obviously this being a bottom-line business, are you winning? But certainly we've got to keep working to get better because we've got some work to do." Auburn's defense has been skewered for allowing 24.9 points per game, which ranks eighth in the SEC. The Tigers have given up 34, 43, 31 and 31 points in separate conference games this year. Since 2000, only one SEC champion has allowed more than 20 points per game (LSU in 2001, 22.3 ppg). No NCAA champion has allowed more than 20 points a game in that time. But with Auburn's potent offense, does it matter? The Tigers are averaging 42.8 points per game the SEC with a higher average is Florida in 2008 (43,6 ppg). this year, which, if it holds, will be tied for seventh in SEC history. The only team in the last decade from "Surely on the paper, we'd look at the stats that some people want to look at closely and wish we were in a better place." Only three NCAA champions in the last 10 years have averaged more points per game: Florida in 2008, Texas in 2004 (50.1 ppg) and Miami in 2001 (43.2). GENE CHIZIK Auburn coach That gives Auburn's defense a larger margin of error. Against Arkansas, for instance, the Tigers allowed 566 yards and 43 points, but it forced three crucial turnovers in the fourth quarter that led to three touchdowns in a 65-43 victory. For the time being, Chizik is looking at incremental improvement. “You'd always like to be able to look and say: 'Hey, I wish we had played a little bit better here and a little bit better there,' he said. “But when you're not playing well, the worst thing you can do is look back and say: 'We never got better in the game. We never adjusted in the game.'” Despite Green's big day Saturday, Auburn eventually adjusted against Georgia, upping its defensive pressure in the second half and allowing only 10 points after the first quarter. In a 49-31 game, it was more than enough. "Surely on the paper, wed look at the stats that some people want to look at closely and wish we were in a better place," Chizik said. "There's also some states where we think we've done some things well, too. There's some give and take in there." NBA Miami Heat burn out the Suns with a 123-96 victory ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — All Chris Bosh needed to get his scoring touch back was a matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Bosh scored a season-high 35 points before sitting out the fourth quarter, LeBron James finished with 20 points and the Miami Heat ran away from the Suns 123-96 on Wednesday. Dwyane Wade added 17 points, six rebounds and six assists for Miami, which used two big runs — a 24-9 spurt to end the first half, followed by an 18-3 flurry that closed the third quarter — to snap the Suns' three-game winning streak. James also had nine assists and eight boards. All five Phoenix starters scored in double figures, led by Steve Nash' 17. Nash only had two assists, matching his lowest total since Dec 29, 2008, against Oklahoma City, a span of 141 games. Grant Hill scored 15 and Channing Frye added 14 for the Suns. Eddie House scored 15 for Miami, which outrebounded the Suns 42-32. Bosh hit his first four shots and had 14 points by the time the game was nine minutes old. He has topped 30 points in three of his and for a moment in the third quarter, the Heat seemed on the brink of blowing another huge edge. Nash's finger-roll with 3:14 left in the third cut what had been a 25-point Miami edge minutes earlier to 82-70. All five Phoenix starters scored in double figures led by Steve Nash's 17. last six meetings with Phoenix. Bosh scored the game's next seven points, kickstarting a run that put Miami wasted a 22-point home lead at head against Utah last week, By the time Bosh went to the bench for the evening, snapping that streak was certain. things away for Miami. House, a reserve, hit a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left to get the lead back to 24, and Wade had a spectacular three-point play — defensive rebound at one end, drive down-court, finger-roll layup while getting fouled and then highstepping past photographers — to make it 100-73 entering the fourth. NBA Thunder strike down Rockets ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 24 points in only three quarters, Russell Westbrook had 21 points and 12 assists and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Houston Rockets 116-99 on Wednesday night for their most lopsided win this season. Durant came in playing elevated minutes due to Jeff Green's absence from the lineup with a sprained left ankle and a series of close games for the Thunder. He was second in the league with 41½ minutes per game, but played just under 30 with Oklahoma City comfortably ahead. Luis Scola had 26 points and Kevin Martin scored 19 for Houston, but both of them also stayed on the sideline in the final period with the Rockets way behind and in the second leg of a back-to-back. Aaron Brooks missed his sixth straight game and Yao Ming his fifth straight for Houston, while Oklahoma City's Green sat out for the fifth time in six games. All three have sprained left ankles. Oklahoma City never trailed after responding to Scola's opening basket with a 10-0 run, then put the game away late in the third quarter. The Rockets pulled to 75-69 on Martin's layup midway through the third, but Houston went more than 4 minutes without another basket to fall behind by 15. Eric Maynor's 3-pointer from the right wing made it 89-74 with 1:31 left in the period. Maynor buried another 3-pointer in early in the fourth quarter to make it 99-82, and Oklahoma City would eventually lead by 20. Oklahoma City committed a season-low nine turnovers including one for purposely letting the shot clock run out in the final seconds — and easily snapped Houston's streak of five games without allowing an opponent to score more than 100 points. Scola scored 16 of Houston's first 27 points, including six during an 8-0 run that allowed the Rockets erase a nine-point deficit. Courtney Lee's 3-pointer tied it at 30 early in the second quarter, but Oklahoma City scored 13 of the next 15 points to take control. James Harden hit two free throws and a 3-pointer, then Durant finished it off with a floater in the lane that banked in after the whistle sounded on Chuck Hayes' foul. Durant made the ensuing free throw to complete the three-point play and make it 43-32. That 11-point margin was still intact when Westbrook was fouled with less than a second left in the first half and hit three tree throws to make it 64-53 at halftime.

The Jayhawks won their first set, before falling the next three to lose the match to the Baylor Bears. KANSAS 7 at& KANSAS 7 at& Mike Gunnoe/KANE* Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington dives for the ball Wednesday against Baylor. The Jayhawks won the first set but fell 3-1 to the Bears. The layhawks struggled with hitting errors in a four-set loss to the Baylor Bears Wednesday. The Baylor defense is ranked No. 2 in the nation. After the match, coach Ray Bechard pointed out the 33 attack errors that cost his team the match. the match. "I wish that number right there would go away," he said. Despite recording more digs and more blocks than the Bears — and winning the first set — things got worse for the Jayhawks' offense each time the team took the court. Senior outside hitters Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser led the Kansas offense with 12 kills each, but it was not enough to overcome the Baylor defense. Kaiser said she wasn't sure what caused so many offensive plays to go wrong. "I have no idea what actually happened between the pass and the hit," Kaiser said. "Sometimes things aren't right; your feet aren't there. It just very frustrating this time of year." The most difficult part about the match, Garlington said, was not bouncing back after the Bears started to gain the upper hand. "It's frustrating to see us do after all of our hard work," she said. "To see a team push us and us not respond." Kansas drops to seventh in conference play with the loss. Baylor improves to 15-13 and 8-9 in the Big 12. Kansas (16-12, 7-10 Big 12) took a lead early in the first set, with Kaiser scoring three kills and junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield contributing a kill and an ace. But Baylor (16-12, 7-10, Big 12) reacted quickly and kept the game close. The Bears took a three-point lead midway through the set behind some Kansas errors and kills by Baylor senior middle blocker Elizabeth Graham and senior outside hitter Ashleigh Christenson. Mayfield took three shots in succession, with the help of several teammates who kept the volley going until the outside hitter registered a kill. Baylor held a slim lead for much of the set with several players producing kills and by benefiting from Kansas errors. Surprisingly, Baylor did not overwhelm Kansas with digs: the jayhawks scored six more digs in the first set. Kansas continued to see plays go badly at the net as the set went into the final stretch at 19-20. Kills by Kaiser and Mayfield helped the layhawks regain the lead, and a block by Mayfield and redshirt freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc ended the set 25-23. The Bears opened the second set with four unanswered points before Mayfield scored a kill for the Jayhawks. Baylor responded with a block and proceeded to establish a four-point lead. Neither team had many outright offensive successes, but the Jayhawcs caught up and took the lead behind kills by Mayfield and Kaiser. The Jayhawcs extended their lead to three points at 11-8 after Garlington combined with Jarmoc for a block and then scored a kill. Garlington and Jarmoc continued to have success, recording another kill and another block, respectively, while freshman libero Brianne Riley worked hard to keep the ball away from the floor. The layhawks seemed at times to fall into mild disorder, requiring defensive specialists to scramble to save points. Both teams saw their offensive efforts blunted by errors and tough defense in the second set, but the Jayhawks' hitting efficiency dropped to .043 while the Bears slowly gained ground. Kansas battled back in the final stretch of the game and narrowed Baylor's lead to three points behind big plays by Garlington, Kaiser and Tolefree, but Baylor closed out the set by scoring a quick kill and winning another much-contested volley, taking the set 25-20. taking the set 25-20 Kansas bounced back in the third set, taking a five-point lead at 18-13 from a hitting streak by Mayfield and Garlington, who scored four and five kills, respectively. But a series of unforced errors cost Kansas the lead and Baylor won the set 25-23. Baylor won the set 25-22. The fourth set took a disastrous turn for the Jayhawks as they struggled with errors while the Bears' offense swung into high gear. Baylor outside hitters Christenson, junior Allison King and redshirt freshman Zoe Adom scored nine kills among them while middle blockers Graham, sophomore Torri Campbell and junior Briana Tolbert recorded six. While Baylor's defense continued to pull off improbable saves, the layhawks began to have trouble moving the ball around without some mishap occurring to cost them another point. After a 5-15 tie, Baylor scored six unanswered points before Kaiser put Kansas back on the board with a kill. Baylor quickly wrapped up the match 25-12. The Bears hit for a .500 efficiency as a team while Kansas dropped to negative numbers in the fourth and final set. "It's unfortunate." Bechard said. "It seemed like the hitting errors got a little contagious, and the thing that hurt us the most is they came in runs, in bunches," he said. "It kept us from winning a critical game three, and I think, obviously, that momentum carried over into game four." The Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas for a rematch with the Longhorns Friday.

Consider it an occupational hazard. The other day I found myself sitting in Chipotle, discussing orgasms over the phone. Six months ago, I would have been mortified, but now it's just part of my job. part of my job. Editing Sex on the Hill has prompted some of the most uncomfortable conversations of my life. But it's also forced me to get over my hang-ups about sex. Now I can discuss just about anything without blushing. blushing. That's the beauty of Sex on the Hill. It makes people talk about sex. This issue has plenty of information about protecting yourself from STDs and unplanned pregnancy, but there's more to healthy sexuality than just that. just that. Part of the college experience is figuring out what we like, who we like, and how we like it — and how to nagivate the tricky social situations that surround our sex lives. So in addition to the medical stuff, you'll find stories about sexual identity, relationships, hooking up, abstinence, the "walk of shame," and even a sexy-time playlist. To have a healthy sex life, you'll need to get comfortable with your sexuality. Openly discussing tough topics — even if you have to giggle through it — is the best way to over come sheepsinishment.

Some of the commonly transmitted STDs are HIV/AIDS, genital herpes, syphilis and gonorrhea. STDs are transmitted not only through vaginal sex, but also through anal and oral sex. According to Quinlan, chlamydia and HPV are the most common STDs and the easiest ones to spread to another person. "They're transmitted easily because of the makeup of the virus and bacteria," Quinlan said. While abstinence is the most surefire way to protect against transmitting or receiving an STD, many students have sex anyway. But one practical way for students to avoid contracting an STD is to use a condom. The CDC has determined that using a condom is effective in lowering the risk "Genital warts, HPV and syphilis are transmitted skin-to-skin, and condoms can't always protect against those." PATTY QUINLAN Watkins nursing supervisor for transmitting STDs that are passed along through crosscontact of fluids. "Condoms are an effective barrier if intact and used appropriately. They are effective only for the areas that it covers Genital warts, HPV and syphilis are transmitted skin to- skin, and condoms can't always protect against those," Quinlan said. "Nothing will protect you if you're having unprotected sex." Two forms of HPV — the high-risk forms that can lead to cancer — can be preempted by the Gardasil vaccine. Syphilis can be treated with antibiotic injections, according to the CDC. Many places in Lawrence offer free condoms, including two locations on the KU campus, the Queens and Allies office and the Student Union Association, both located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. "It's worthwhile to have one available at your bedside," Quinlan said. "It's too easy to come by to not have one available." It's important to know how to correctly use a condom, or it is useless in protecting against STDs. According to the University's Hawk Health website, 15 percent of condom failures occur because the condom was used incorrectly. Oil-based lubricants, such as Vaseline or baby oil, can damage condoms. Use only water-based lubricants. And carry a condom in a wallet or a back pocket for an extended period of time can cause condom damage. "There can be damage to the condom that the naked eye can't see. Viruses are microscopic so they penetrate even if the condom seems safe," Quinlan said, "Condom should have an expiration date." Vaginal sex isn't the only way to contract an STD. Oral sex also carries a risk, though a smaller one than vaginal or anal sex.

Edited by David Cawthon Q & A Expert answers frequently asked questions about sex BY TAYLOR LEWIS editor@kansan.com The scene is familiar. Boy meets girl. Boy invites girl back to his room. And things progress from there. But the hook-up doesn't end in the morning. According to Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, students are facing multiple sexual health problems nowadays. She said it's important for students to take some factors into consideration before their next fling. What should students consider before having sex? Be comfortable enough to carry a condom with you, be it in your wallet or your purse. It's equally as important for the females and the males to be carrying condoms. What is the biggest sexual health concern that students are facing today? Well, the biggest concern is contracting sexually transmitted infections. I feel like they are easily spread. We treat a good number of students who get sexually transmitted infections. Very common is chlamydia and genital warts. What are the symptoms of those STIs? If you have any vaginal or penile discharge — it may be discolored or just a larger amount than normal — pain on intercourse, or pain in general. Sometimes they're not symptomatic and that's not helpful, so the infection can grow worse and they don't know they have it. Also, they should look for any lumps or bumps that weren't before in the vaginal area or around the penis. SEXUAL HEALTH RESOURCES ON CAMPUS How can students avoid these problems? Become comfortable discussing having sex with a partner and there are many ways to do that. They could role-play with their friends. They could seek out a professional or their physician, any person they feel comfortable to talk about something as intimate - Ask-a-Nurse: 785-864-9583 - Women's Health: 785- 864-9566 - Health Education Resource as sexual relations so they can become comfortable discussing it before having a sexual relationship. That helps avoid being in a situation where you're too uncomfortable to ask that condoms or dental dams be used. Most times, students are in a position to be able to contract a STI because they're not comfortable talking about it. It's super important to me that individuals become comfortable being able to discuss sex prior to the encounter. - Office: 785-864-9470 Edited by Clark Goble Tell us we want it • Hospital Sterilization • Kansas' Best + Award Winn... • Precision Piercing • Large Jewelry Selection • Specializing in Custom Artwork 938 MASS.

He tells his mother about these feelings before going out to get coffee with the woman. The mother gives her blessing and the man proceeds to approach the young lady about meeting at a coffee shop. tee shop. The day of the proposed "date" arrives and the young lady and her brother are there waiting. They all talk and have a good time and then return to their homes. This story is just one example of how relationships in the Islamic world exist. ships in the Institute Students at the University of Kansas come from many different backgrounds. This is especially true for the more than 1,000 international students ranging in countries of origin from China to Jamaica to Zambia. Each culture has its own view on what is permissible and taboo when it comes to speaking about dating and sex and then more different views on the actions. For Americans, dating generally means going out with the other person, perhaps to grab something to eat and see a movie. There may be two people or a group going out, it does not really matter. The indi- graduate student from Brazaville. Democratic Republic of the Congo. Marriage, sometimes arranged by the parents, is expected of every woman in the Congo. "You can't make it official when you have a boyfriend. You just hide, your family doesn't have to know about it because it is really disrespectful. So we don't introduce our boyfriend to our parents. Whatever you are doing you just do it away from your family. Most families when they find out you get blamed seriously and there are some families that will go to see the boy's parents and tell them about it and see if they can stop it," Assinga said. Assinga said. This is very different from Ibrahim Alaqan, a senior from Palestine. In the Middle Eastern culture and Muslim faith, one's family and the respect of family is extremely important. It is important for every action by a couple to be announced to the rest of the community so that a person's status is clear. "If a guy starts to see a lady and people haven't heard that they are "Normal girls don't know something about sex because parents and teachers never taught us about it." YEMING CHE Beijing graduate student The individuals generally do not tell their parents right off, at least until they know that "it is serious." This is not the case for Hestie Assinga, a d that they are together, then rumors will start and that is a huge deal. Because if say someone else is interested, but he heard these rumors, then he will think, 'Okay, I probably should stay away.' That is why it is important the people make things official and clean so that nothing goes wrong." Alangar said. That is why, when a person starts to get interested in somebody else, they try to make it kind of formal. I would as my parents, my father, my mom, especially in Palestine, where I am from, you start with the mom. She will go and ask about the person, 'Is she a good girl?' Is it a good family? and then after that we can probably make it official." When Jalashree Mehta, a sophomore from Mumbai, India, decides to start dating someone, it will be with the idea that she will want to marry him. "It is kind of an unwritten expectation that people have that if we are together, that we should try to make this work no matter what, unless it is like a really bad situation," Mehta said. "On an average, most people in India wait till they get married to have sex. Marriage is considered to be so sacred and holy that once you do get married to a person, that is when you want to open up and become one. Doing that before you get married, and then it doesn't work out, you became one with a person and then if you separate you lose part of yourself." In many Asian cultures, students are expected to focus on their stud- ties the most. Yiming Che is a grad student from Beijing, China tate study from college. "In my high school I just knew to study. Before college our parents and teachers told us everything we could and we should do. I always liked the boys, but our parents and teachers told us it was bad for our studies." Che said. Sexual education is a part of growing up for Americans, but that's not always the case in other parts of the world. Ivan Babkov, a sophomore, was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, but immigrated to Lansing, Mich., when he was 11. He can still remember many differences between Russian and American sexual education. "Up to the point where I was in school, it was nonexistent. It all depended upon the family that you grew up with. You would have to learn from the world around you," Babkov said. Teen pregnancies in the United States have recently been glamorized in a sense by shows such as MTV's "Teen Mom." However, still many young women all over the world have unplanned pregnancies and they all deal with them differently. "I know five girls who took an abortion," Che said. "If you are a teenager you are still a kid and you cannot control your life. I never heard a girl stop her studies for a baby. Normal girls don't know something about sex because parents and teachers never taught us about it. We don't know how to protect ourselves. That is why so many girls get an abortion." Assinga said unplanned pregnancies occur in the Congo and the girls are expected to keep the child. "We have a lot of teens now getting pregnant," Assinga said. "When you get pregnant and your family knows about it, they will take you to your boy's family and they will have to take care of you because they have responsibility." Even with the differences in culture between the United States and the rest of the world, when it comes to actually going out on a date, the activities really do not change all that much. The main differences occur in how to handle the relationships within the family and what is socially acceptable. Edited by Clark Goble SOCIETY Women still face obstacles on track to sexual fulfillment BY NOOPUR GOEL editor@kansan.com Cirilla's manager Allison Ortego has noticed a trend in her customers. "Older couples are a little more experimental." Ortego said. "They usually end up buying porn together, toys like anal toys and vibrators." Ortego has also noticed that older couples are more likely to try out fetishes such as bondage. She says that most people don't get into bondage until their 30s or 40s. The closest the college-aged group gets is buying fuzzy handcuffs. "I can usually spot them when they walk in the door," Ortego said. "People that want to try something new but they're kind of scared. They usually don't want leather harnesses or anything." Ortego says that the most common items for a college-age woman to buy is a vibrator or vibrating cock ring. Although some women are conformable buying these items at a store, others are still uneasy with the idea. "Its kinda like buying tampons," said Sera Lanzer, a freshman from Overland Park. "Every girl does it, but still were always afraid of who we're going to see at the store? the results of the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, published in October's Journal of Sexual Medicine, give evidence of the discomfort women have with their own sexuality. The survey was conducted at Indiana University to honor the 60th anniversary of the Kinsey Reports, which were conducted at that very institution. The Kinsey Reports were constructed by Dr. Alfred Kinsey in the 1930s and 40s after extensive research on the American sexual experience. Kinsey's findings shocked the nation, and revealed some interesting insight into what really happens behind the closed doors of an American bedroom. The results of the NSSHB also reveal some new and intriguing data about sex in America. According to the NSSHB, masturbation is the sexual activity men experience the most throughout their lifetime, while vaginal intercourse is most common for women. "That sounds about right" Lanzer said. "Men don't need anyone else to masturbate, they can just do it themselves, and women don't really think of sex much outside of vaginal sex." The NSSHB revealed that 61 to 63 percent of men in the college-going age group have masturbated in the past month, while only 26 to 43 percent of college women have done the same. don't the same. Graduate student Jordan Wade believes that this may be because of the societal constructs on women were a nice director of women, gender, and sexuality studies, John Younger, agrees with the sentiment that society affects how a woman views herself. women aren't supposed to be sexuality inclined." Wade said. "The female orgasm was only acknowledged in the past few years. I think we're a little behind on that." Younger believes there is always a power dynamic involved with sex, and society usually reserves that power for the men. He points to an example of an exercise he often assigns to his introductory archaeology classes. He asks the students to create their own deity, "Society expects women to service men sexually." Younger said. "And since men have an orgasm time that is really, really short, women are often sexually unsatisfied, and they are taught that that is OK." and every now and then, he comes across a student, usually female, who has created a penis god. I the first time I ran across this I thought, "Oh my god, this woman is so socialized she thinks the most important thing is a phallus," Younger said. This power that women give to men can be expressed in various ways. "One is to be sexually repressed, so that the man has control," Younger said. "Another is to be slut-like and to service the men, because that's what men want." "Men are out there in the marketplace doing this, this and this, shacking up with young boys," Younger said. "What is the woman going to do but, hey, find herself a girlfriend. This has been written about for 180 years." To escape from this power dynamic, many women choose to experiment with same-sex sexual experiences, a phenomenon seen not only in the current era, but also throughout history. The NSSHB recently reported that 10 percent of women between the ages of 16 and 49 have participated in a same-sex experience in the past year. make out at a party and not be considered lesbians," said Pedro Lopez, a sophomore from Prairie Village Societal acceptance seems to be the most influential element that determines how comfortable a woman is with her sexuality. When society tells her it is not okay to masturbate she doesn't do it. But when society tells her it is okay to have relations with another woman, she has no problem experimenting with it. "It is socially OK for two girls to The NSSHB, like the original Kinsey Reports, seeks to educate the nation about what is actually occurring around the country. Perhaps knowing that they are not alone in certain sexual experimentation will allow women to widen their view on "acceptable" sexual behavior, and become more comfortable with their own sexuality. "Knowledge and open discussion are the path to societal change that lead us away from viewing sexuality primarily in negative terms and towards viewing sexuality as a part of life that is wholesome and pleasurable," said former Surgeon General joycelyn Elders in her introduction for the NSSHB journal article.

I was born "Karolina Bledowska" and my accent has so far been described as a mixture of German-Polish-Midwestern-American-English. Like many American teenagers, I grew up watching movies like "EuroTrip" with its Dutch dominatrix, and "American Pie" with its naughty Czech exchange student Nadia. But unlike American teenagers, I could have been one of those sexual targets According to frequent European stereotypes in movies, that would make me the typical American boy's sexual dream, right? I don't know about that. But a guy told me a few months ago that he absolutely loves women with an accent. Well, too bad I'm not into guys who love women only because of their accent. Every culture is stereotyped by other cultures. It's our way of understanding each culture and simplifying their usually complex heritage. Often though, stereotypes only lead to misconceptions and false accusations, as is certainly the case with the stereotype of the sexually available and promiscuous European woman. Europeans have fewer sexual partners than Americans, which makes them less promiscuous. A study published in Family Planning Perspectives in 2001 compared the sexual activity, safety, sexual disease and teen pregnancy rates of the U.S. and five European countries. It found not only more promiscuity, but also a higher teen pregnancy rate, less use of contraceptives and a higher level of STDs in the U.S. In school, I received mandatory sex education, including two extra sessions on HIV, one of which was in the local center for drug addicts. In magazines, I saw pictures of nude men and women in non-suggestive poses, which showed me the various types of human bodies rather than the "ideal" body generated by advertising. In those magazines, I also read about common questions and problems surrounding teen sexuality even before I decided to have sex. When I was ready, I knew that I didn't have to lie about it, not even to my parents. Germany. The latter study concluded that the European countries with lower rates — Germany, France, and the Netherlands — all emphasize mandatory sexual education in school and value the individual as a sexual being with needs and desires. Those countries find information on sex and safety more important than opinions by religious groups or personal preferences. higher level of education. A similar study by Advocates for Youth later in the decade showed that teen pregnancy is four times higher in the U.S. than in Germany. The U.S. abortion rate per 1,000 women is twice as high as in Germany, even though abortion has serious restrictions in some states, but is completely legal in all of Germany. sional preferences. These are the same reasons I would give for the creation of the common female European stereotype. The European woman is confident and educated in her sexuality because her culture is more open to communication about sex and accepts sexual activity and experimentation in youth. I grew up in a society that treats sex as a part of life, not as a sin or marital duty. I grew up with enough information on sexual health to fill an abortion clinic. And I'm glad I grew up in a society that let me ask any question I wanted without being judged as immoral or indecent, even when I asked my parents about the first time they had sex (although I still don't know what had gotten into me that day). — Bledowski is a graduate student from Cracow, P Poland, in journalism. KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2010 / SEX ON THE HILL 5 ABSTINENCE Celibate students put the brakes on sex, for now Howard Ting/KANSA JACKLYN BAILLERGEON editor@kansan.com As sex becomes a more open subject in society, it seems abstinence is less practiced than generations before. So that must mean everyone around is having sex, right? Wrong. While the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports 55 percent of college students have sex every month, Milton Wendland, a doctoral student in American Studies and a graduate teaching assistant in women, gender and sexuality studies, said the actual number could be lower. "We don't have any reliable numbers for how many college students are engaging in sexual activity because 'sexual activity' means different things to different people." Wendland said. one abstains 100 percent from all physical contact with another person. Kissing and oral sex can still open the possibility for transmission of STDs. Students have a variety of reasons for avoiding sex, ranging from religious and moral reasons to health and safety concerns. There are also emotional reasons. "Abstinence can offer some reduction of health risks, like STDs," Wendland said. This is only true if Wendland said there were additions to the physical benefits of remaining abstinent. "For some people abstinence can offer a mental health benefit as well," Wendland said. "If you aren't ready to be physically intimate w i t h anyone then sexual activity may cause a great deal of emotional distress or guilt" Paul Johnson, a freshman from Wichita, said he had more than one reason for staying abstinent. "Biologically, we are not made to have multiple sex partners, and we are much less likely to get STDs or unwanted pregnancies if we practice abstinence." Johnson said. Johnson added that he stays celibate for moral reasons. "Sex is a sacred act that must be respected and saved for the right person," Johnson said. "If we cannot wait to have sex with our future spouse, how can we expect to remain faithful to them during marriage? It cannot become a pleasure-seeking habit. It should be looked at in a deeper way — as more of a self-gift for another." Carter Zielinski, a sophomore from Overland Park, also abstains and said he hoped to find a partner with similar values. Zielinski said he believes society is over sexualized. Students in relationships are also avoiding sex. Lauren Hammond, a freshman from Shawnee, was in a long-term relationship and avoided having sex. Hammond said she believes being abstinent made her relationship stronger. "I was in a relationship because I wanted to be in one, not because of sex." Hammond said. "You can still be close without having sex. "Every experience I've had with people having sex with their boyfriend or girlfriend becomes a way bigger deal, or they stay in a relationship they shouldn't be in so they can keep having sex. I personally don't think it's worth it." Along with moral and health reasons, gender roles and the pressure of being made fun of for having or not having sex also play a role in a person's sexual behavior. be a 'real man' or a good woman' means that it is common for men to feel pressured to be sexually active or to embellish their sexual activities, while for many women, there is a pressure to abstain from sexual activity or downplay their sexual behavior," Wendland said. "Different notions of what it is to Kayla Eddins, a freshman from Lenexa, said she agreed that she has noticed many people have either claimed to be abstinent while they have been having sex or have said they have had sex while they have been practicing abstinence in order to try to fit in with the rest of society. "People who are religious or raised that way sometimes claim they're abstinent while they're really having sex," Eddins said. "On the other hand, the older we get, the easier it is to try to hint that you have had sex while you really haven't because it's hard to be different." Eddins said she disagreed with the notion that society would be better off if more people abstained from sex. "Abstinence shouldn't be mandated for everyone," Eddins said. "It's a personal choice. You shouldn't be ashamed of your own body. There's not anything to be guilty of for having sex before marriage." Wendland also said that having sex with a significant other is not necessarily a bad thing. If both partners are informed and the sexual activity is consensual, he said it can be an incredibly pleasurable experience for the mind and body. For students who want to avoid sexual activity but still want to experience intimacy, Wendland suggested some alternatives. "There's a fullrange ofpossibilities for producing physical and emotional pleasure without actual doing it," Wendland said. Those possibilities included massage and cuddling, masturbation, and use of props and toys. "As long as you're being careful and safe and know who you're sleeping with you should be fine," Eddins said. She suggests getting to know the person, asking about STDs, and always practicing safe sex. While Eddins believes abstinence isn't necessary, she does have a warning for those wanting to become sexually active. "If you choose not to be abstinent you need to be OK with that decision," Edds said. ETTIQUETTE Edited by Anna Nordling Public displays of affection common on college campuses BY TANVI NIMKAR editor@kansan.com Public displays of affection are a common sight on any walk through campus — holding hands, quick kisses and hugs, make-out sessions in the open air or covertly in secret spots around campus. Typically PDA is harmless but there is a limit, for which the appropriate response is, "Get a room." There is the cliché of deserted library stacks for romantic encounters, but there are other covert spots around campus. During a Career Services event last year, a few volunteers such as Erin Wolfram, associate director of the University Career Center, noticed a number of students with large hickeys enter the Kansas Union from the adjacent parking garage. Wolfram was taken by surprise because she didn't think a parking garage was a good place to make out. Although most PDA is not a crime, there are several situations where it is absolutely inappropriate. "Anything in a business or work environment is inappropriate," Wolfram said. "Everything should be professional." the focus must be work. Anything beyond these settings seems to be fair game. A parking garage is a sensible choice because of the dark seclusion and the fact that most people do not spend much time in the garage so the chances of being seen are slim. There is a downside to the garage as well, though. Noise echoes in the garage, so if someone happens to be wandering around, he or she could hear everything. Also there is the danger of cars driving around in the darkness of the garage. Another common spot that is not secret is the sidewalk, especially after sporting events. The dilemma occurs when people are walking back to their car after a game and in the middle of the sidewalk there is a couple making out without a care. In the crowd of people leaving, simply side-stepping the affectionate couple is harder than you may think. Often a person's reaction to this sighting can be just as interesting as the PDA itself. Senior Jon Moore says if he saw inappropriate PDA, his first thought would be that the relationship wouldn't last very long. Colin Barnes says he would more than likely just ignore the couple because he has better things to do. Not all PDA is simply making out. It includes even the simplest affectionate gestures, such as holding hands or a kiss on the cheek. Most students find these gestures acceptable. For example junior Julia Maggins admits to holding hands or briefly kissing on campus. It is hard to know where to draw the line. Barnes says a hug or kiss is fine but a kiss with tongue is a bit much which is similar to Miggins' judgement.

This question is an old one, but certainly not obsolete. Hook-ups on college campuses appear to be the norm, with up to 81 percent of college students reporting having engaged in at least one, according to a study published in Archives of Sexual Health. The study investigated the effects that casual sex has on women and men. It suggested that casual sex in women led to lower self-esteem and higher distress. Conversely, casual sex among men was linked to higher self-esteem. "I think girls go into it hoping the guy calls or texts them the next day even though they're cool sleeping with them the night they meet." Allie Miller, a sophomore from Frisco, Texas said. "Guys are just thinking about the one night. Rejection causes women distress because they book up to feel accepted. It's fun, but girls want someone to like them and be interested in them. When the guy's done and he's not interested, girls get upset." Dhyana Coil is chairwoman of the Sexuality Education Committee, a student organization that promotes healthy sexuality education. She said she did not agree with the study's findings. Coil said she did not believe men and women necessarily had different emotional reactions to sexual hook-ups. mgs. "My hunch is to say that if women have lower self-esteem to begin with, then they may tend to deal with that by seeking validation with many sexual partners," Coil said. sexual hook-ups. "I have female friends who are very happy to have multiple sexual partners and I have male friends who are self-described as too emotional to be able to enjoy one night stands," she said. "I don't think men and women are as different as our history and culture would have us think and people's differing reactions are just more based on the individual." And, frequently, the stresses of college make individuals seek less-stressful releases. "School's hard enough as it is." Miller said. "Relationships aren't easy. Hook ups are simple, quick, fun and not a lot of work." In the past, a double standard was present in society's perceptions of men and women in relation to number of sexual partners As a woman acquired a certain number of partners, she was labeled, but a man could usually get away with promiscuity. "This definitely still "Girls definitely would try "I do think it is possible to emotionally distance oneself to avoid being hurt." my still exists," Miller said. "If a guy hears a girl has been with a ton of guys, he won't even touch her. Being called 'slutty' or a 'whore' really messes with girls mentally and psychologically, while guys become the coolest dudes." DHYANA COIL Sexuality Education Committee Miller said she thought women were likely to hook up with the same man to keep their number of sexual partners down. nely would try their hardest to get the same guys to sleep with them more than once," she said. "We're not like guys and don't look for meaningless sex. just because I want to have sex doesn't mean I want to sleep with every guy." Some of the consequences of engaging in casual sex and sexual hook-ups include risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection, in addition to emotional damage. "I don't want to get to the point where I can't remember the name and face and exact number of guys I've slept with," Miller said. "Hooking up is perfectly fine if you're having fun, but be smart. Don't make it into risking STDs and pregnancies. If you're old enough to have sex, you're old enough to be smart about it, too." 10. Coil said ultimately, when it came to casual sex, knowing yourself made all the difference. "I do think it is possible to emotionally distance oneself to avoid being hurt," Coil said. "I don't think that it is possible for all people. Some people start to get emotionally attached after a certain amount of time together no matter their initial intentions." COMMENTARY Edited by Emily McCoy Let's take the shame and 'slut' out of sex Sex is not just for sluts. It's a radical statement surely, but someone has to say it. Despite what we see in movies and read about in books, sex is still regarded as something dirty and shameful. Everyone is always talking about how skanky "insert name of your friend here" was at Friday's party or what a man-whore your biology lab partner is, basically scaring each other into thinking that sex is something for the skanks and douchey guys of the world. No one wants to be a "slut," therefore people don't address sex for the basic human need that it is. Sarah B. Gillis Sex is a primal instinct. It is encoded into our biological system. Everyone in the world does it, will do it or at the very BY JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH edit@kanyan.com least is the product of it. While it is not everything, sex is an integral part of life. So why do we feel the need to label it as something bad? big bar. Sex shouldn't be shameful and it shouldn't be "slutty." In fact, I hereby revoke the use of that word. Wanting to have, or having sex does not make someone a slut. It makes you human. As long as you practice sex in a safe and healthy way, I say go forth and buy condoms! d o e s society c o n d e m n t h o s e that act on it? There is no need to judge e a c h other for We all think about it, so why our sexual appetites. To repress something so natural causes internal conflict and frustration. Just be honest with yourself. You can want sex just for the sake of having sex. There is no need to dress the issue up with a bow or a relationship. You don't have to fake a deeper meaning for it. As long as both people involved know what they are getting out of the interaction, I see nothing wrong with it. Sure, feelings are involved with sex but they don't necessarily have to be feelings of love. Sex can work just fine on mutual feelings of attraction and the basic need itself. Now, I'm not advocating for people to go out and sleep with a new person every night — although if that is your prerogative and you are being safe about it, then you are adult enough to make your own decisions. It is important to retain a level of self-respect. Only do what you want, and what makes you happy. This is the 21st century times have changed. No one expects sex to wait until marriage. It is better to discover who you are and what you want before making a promise you aren't sure you can keep. Sex does not have to be the big taboo subject that our grade school teachers made it out to be. Let's stop the name-calling and grow up. We are all of age to make the right decision for ourselves. If all else fails, we can always stand to listen to the advice of our elders. As my good friend Marvin Gaye says, "You don't have to worry that it's wrong. If the spirit moves you, let me groove you good."

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18.2010 / SEX ON THE HILL 7 Photo illustration by Evan Palmer/PANSAN Beyond gay, straight and bisexual BY JESIE BLAKEBOROUGH editor@kansan.com IDENTITY Every teenager feels ununderstood at some point. For Emily, this held a little more truth. While her peers were arguing for later curfews, Emily, a KU student who did not want her full name used because she is not out to her parents, was questioning bigger issues. She understood early Pansexuals connect sexually, emotionally with individuals across the gender spectrum society's "conventional" molds. It wasn't until high school that Emily was able to categorize her feelings, and even then she wasn't sure if anyone would understand her. Emily is not gay. She is pansexual. The four best-known groups of sexuality are heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexualism. However, not everyone fits into these groups, and there is little education regarding pansexuality. Family experienced a similar disconnect growing up and it was years before she was introduced to the term. "It is really interesting to know how you feel before you can even put a label on it," Emily said. Because pansexuality is a relatively new term, it causes a lot of misunderstanding in both gay and straight communities. Most commonly it is often confused with bisexuality, which is the attraction to both male and female genders; "bi" meaning two. Pansexuality differs in that it focuses on certain characteristics, or emotional connections that can be found regardless of gender identity or biological sex. Pansexuals have the capability to become sexually, emotionally or spiritually attracted to all genders. "Bisexuality is very black and white. But for me, it's anything. It doesn't matter what the outside is." Emily said. means that gender does not factor into attraction or sexual desire in potential mates. Pansexuals can be attracted to women, men, transgendered, androgynous or gender fluid people. Emily says most people assume she is too embarrassed to admit she is bisexual or gay when she tells them she is pansexual. "People don't have to understand my sexuality. I know what it is to me." Emily said. Some pansysexual claim to be gender blind or neutral. This Problems Emily runs into after explaining her sexuality often involve women thinking she is hitting on them, and past boyfriends assuming she will cheat with women. "A straight girl is not attracted to every guy she sees just like I am not attracted to everything with two legs," Emily said. Queens & Allies President Sara Thompson jokes that the acronym LGBTQQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer and Questioning) is becoming more like alphabet soup with each new term. She reminds people to be comfortable with themselves and their sexuality in whatever way they deem to express it. "The most important thing about your sense of self is being honest with yourself," Thompson said. "You can label yourself whatever you want as long as you truly believe that the chosen label is for you. That being said, don't over think labels." Emilysuggeststhatpansexuality could hold more insight for the straight community than the gay community since members of the gay community already admit to being attracted to members of the same sex. "If anyone has ever had crush on somebody of their same gender and has thought, "Man I wish they weren't a girl guy, you should really think about what pansexuality is," Emily said. "Gender shouldn't matter, if you feel like you want to be with someone then you should." To me it's always been like people did not understand, so pansexuality has almost been a taboo word, but now that it is being discussed I hope that it helps people who are struggling with their identity figure it out." Emily said. Language will always create barriers. Terms can often be manipulated and context can be misinterpreted. Instead of addressing complex issues, people tend to avoid them to keep from being offensive. Edited by David Cowthon HEALTH Morning-after pill widely available for emergencies BY ALLISON BOND editor@kansan.com Plan B One Step is a pill used as an emergency birth control option for those worried that they might become pregnant. According to planbonestep.com, the official website, if taken correctly, seven out of eight women will not become pregnant. Cathy Thrasher, head pharmacist at Student Health Services, said 75 students bought Plan B One Step at Watkins Health Center in October, and that this was an average number. While many students are purchasing Plan B One Step, there are still many unanswered questions about the drug. Plan B One Step has been on the market for 10 years, and has become more popular since it became an over-the-counter drug in 2006. Originally approved by the FDA in July 1999, it is the only emergency contraception available with just one pill. Next Choice, a generic off brand of Plan B One Step, is an emergency contraception that requires two pills taken at the same time. The most common misconception with Plan B One Step is that it is an abortion pill, said Sarah Gillooily, a representative of Planned Parenthood. "It is something people tend to get confused said," Gillooly said. According to One Step's educational website, Plan B is not an RU-486 abortion pill. While an RU-486 drug will end an existing pregnancy, Plan B won't work if the user is already pregnant and WHERE PLAN B IS AVAILABLE Target Plan B One Step: $39.41 Next Choice: $24.78 Walmart Plan B One Step: $51.52 Next Choice: $43.79 Dillons Plan B One Step: $52.59 Next Choice: $38.39 Walgreens Plan B One Step: $41.99 Next Choice: $44.99 Watkins Health Center Plan B One Step: $24.99 Does not offer Next Choice it will not affect an existing pregnancy.

Otherwise, things can quickly get awkward for fellow employees. BY JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH alex.jessie.borough.com editor@kansan.com The rush alone is almost worth the risk. Knowing it's against the rules, but not caring. Stealing time for kisses in the supply closet. Bumping into each other on purpose — but only the two of you know that. Hooking up with or dating friends and coworkers can be thrilling, but what happens when things go wrong? Is it possible to balance a romantic fling and maintain a civil work environment? Six KU students offer their stories and advice on this matter, in a quest to answer the age-old question, 'Can you mix business and pleasure?' Jessica Janasz/KANSAN BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR For Jon Mura, a freshman from Grandview, Mo., hooking it was cracked up to be. What started out as a mutual, no-strings attached agreement between friends turned into an awkward situation when she suddenly became very attached. "If you are HORIZON HAPPINESS IS ON THE "Hooking up can turn your circle of friends into an awkward tangle and leaves you asking 'How can I untangle the knot?' "When my current boyfriend and I started dating, the most common comment we got was, 'Someone owes me ten bucks.' It was like everyone saw it coming and they have been very supportive of us." Harkrider said. Harkrider said she believed in taking time to get to know a partner, not just rushing into something. She said her relationship was the result of a year-long friendship that blossomed into something more. Donna Jo Harkrider, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., has not run into any difficulties with dating a coworker. As resident assistants in the dorms, students who date coworkers worry about literally living with the consequences of a broken relationship. friends with someone and would like to take it to a sexual level, don't. Mura said. "If you want to take it to a romantic level, don't start with sex." For Harkrider, the key lies in remaining individual people while at work. She said she avoided creat- a clique-like atmosphere. Mura suggested building up friendships based on common interests before taking it to a physical level. He said otherwise relations would become strained. "Hooking up can turn your circle of friends into an awkward tangle and leaves you asking 'How can I untangle the knot?' when the real answer is you should never have tied the knot in the first place," Mura said. JON MURA Grandview, Mo., freshman "When you work where you live things get tricky. As a staff we can't be our own unit, we have to contribute as individuals," Harkrider said. "You don't want relationship to bleed into the work environment." THE VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE Abbie Kendall, a freshman from Dallas, witnessed first-hand how personal relationships can affect an entire work unit. When her fellow employee became involved The little tiffs couples go through can cause strained relations at work. A common complaint against hooking up or dating a fellow employee is the awkward situation that results for other staff members. with a manager, the whole staff suffered the consequences of their indiscretion. "Human resources had to come in and interview everyone at the store and our manager ended up getting fired for hooking up with an employee," Kendall said. "The whole thing was really uncomfortable." John McKernen, a sophomore from Leawood, on the other hand, said he didn't believe his relationship bothered his fellow co-workers. In fact, he thought it had the opposite effect. "It seemed like everyone was excited to have something to go on." sip about," McKernen said. TALKING TOGETHER ADVICE FROM A REAL, LIVE COUPLE Four months into their relationship, Pat Bayer, a junior from Overland Park, and Emily Bissell, a sophomore from McPherson, are now in a comfortable rhythm. Innings weren't always so easy, however. When they first met last year, Bayer was a resident assistant and Bissell a resident in Hashinger Hall. University Housing has strict policies against RAs dating residents. "I knew I couldn't let it go, so I talked to my boss," Bayer said. Even after the OK from superiors and support from friends and coworkers, Bayer and Bissell didn't rush into anything. "We took it really slow so it removed the chance of drama if it wasn't going to work." Bissell said. Bayer also suggested setting clear boundaries about what was about work and keeping the relationship out of it. If he has to do something for his job, he said, she understands it's not personal. He says an understanding and respect for each person's positions and feelings keeps things running smoothly. "It takes a level of maturity to know how to handle situations like this because ultimately if it ends, it has to end well," Bayer said. In the end, students in this situation have some common advice. They recommend taking the time to consider how the relationship will affect themselves and their co-workers. Don't let personal feelings — loving or bickering — override your ability to maintain a professional work environment, they say. LESSONS LEARNED Edited by Dana Meredith SOX SELLS KU BOOKSTORE KUBOOKSTORE.COM KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2010 / SEX ON THE HILL / 1 IDENTITY Students 'come out' on their own terms Campus groups social support can make the process easier BY SARA SNEATH editor@kansan.com Sophomore Alex Jensen came out to a close friend in high school. But it wasn't until he got to college and became a member of Delta Lambda Phi, a fraternity welcoming of all sexual orientations, that he decided to share his sexuality with his family. So far, they have been supportive, and have even urged Jensen to come out to his more distant relatives. Nevertheless, he remains hesitant to inform everyone. Unfortunately, there is no flow chart or 10-step procedure to coming out; the process is as individual, fluid and complex as sexuality. Tyler Mulholland, a junior from Lenexa, emphasizes that not everyone's coming-out experience is horrific. But whether you are the one coming out or you are the supporter, there are many things to keep in mind. "The whole coming-out process can be liberating, but you know I'm not sure that we should have to do it in a way that we are sort of disadvagted," says Jensen. "If people ask me then I will tell them, but I'm not going to have a random conversation with them about it," Jensen said. "My theory is they didn't come to me and say, 'well, we're straight,' and ask me to be okay with that. So, I'm not going to go to them and say the same thing." IF YOU'RE COMING OUT love "I think that it is important for people to understand that it is a completely individualized process. People who face this issue have to consider a number of different variables, including their safety," said Diane Genther, the University's LGBT Resource Center coordinator. For those who are in the process of exploring their sexuality, Genther recommends creating a support group of friends, counselors and LGBT peers. 1. Do it in your own time and in your own way 2. Weigh the risks and benefits of coming out — the cost can be high including being cut off from parental financial support, fired or ending personal relationships. Renee Rivera has been out to close friends and family for about two years. She used this year's Coming Out Day on Oct. 11 to tell acquaintances and classmates that she's gay. 3. Test the water — start with your inner circle and work your way out FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY 1. Come out as a LGBT supporter — take a stance on LGBT issue 2. Let sexual minorities label themselves label themselves. 3. Do not tell others about a person's sexuality unless it is relevant and that person is comfortable with you telling people years now, but waited until this year's Coming Out Day, which was last month, to tell acquaintances and classmates she is gay. Because Rivera is a student in the School of Education at the University, com- process." "It is important for people to understand that is is a completely individualized process" DIANE GENTHER LGBT Resource Center coordinator ing out was an especially sensitive issue for her. "My biggest fear is that when I start teaching, a parent will ask for their child to be taken out of my classroom because I'm gay," Rivera said. The big ques- uon is: should come out even be an issue? After telling their coming-out stories, Delta Lambda Phi brothers Godfrey Riddle, Jensen and Mulholland noted that none of them had shared their stories with each other before — an indication that among an understanding community, the coming-out practice isn't one big ordeal — it's often continuous and mundane. To some, the process of coming out is a form of activism; to others, it is a sign of a fundamental misconception. "The fact there has to be a coming-out process for people is indicative of a homophobic culture. I suppose in some instances that it could have repercussions that look like social activism." Genther said. "But I think how someone displays their sexuality is different for each person. I think it is fine if someone doesn't want to place a label on themselves."

These are the tools necessary for a good relationship, but they are more important for one that stretches two people across state lines and sometimes overseas. Emily Bernard, a freshman from Aurora. Colo., started dating her boyfriend, Sean Nicely, a year ago. They met in their high school theater department. "We were together all the time, studying and hanging out," Bernard said. While Bernard moved here at the beginning of the summer, her boyfriend is still in high school. However, they have still been able to go on "Skype dates." They usually start their "date" at 5 p.m., eat dinner, watch a movie and stay up talking the rest of the night. Bernard and Nicely are making their long-distance relationship work through communication, but some relationships are not so successful. Brandon Hopkins, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., did not have such a sweet long-distance relationship. "We will both dress up like a date" she said. In the end, they broke up because of the distance. "It lasted three weeks as a long-distance relationship, but we had been dating for four or five months before that," Hopkins said. where she was living at the time. "It was because we were not able to trust each other and there was no way to really know what the other person was doing," he said. Jessica Bjorgaard, a junior from Olathe, said her relationship ended because her boyfriend moved to "When we lived long distance we had gotten used to us being away but when he moved to be with me we just saw each other too much and realized we didn't like each other as much as we thought." Bjorgaard said. Some long-distance relationships can work and can last for years like Seth Dolan's, a senior from Atlanta. He and his girlfriend Caroline Quat, also from Atlanta, have been together for three-and-a half years. "We went to high school together. It's kind of dorky, but we were both members of Model UN," said Dolan. Quat is a junior at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., but is abroad in Prague. Dolan said their relationship has been able to last because of their commitment to communication. "While she was in the states we would set aside a time at night where we would talk on the phone," he said. "It has been a little tricky with her overseas, but thanks to Skype I am able to see her almost every day. We have also made sure that we frequently check our e-mail." Long-distance relationships put a strain on both people involved, but some students make them work "You have to trust the other person completely and communicate with each other effectively," Dolan said. "Caroline is my best friend and I can't imagine not having her in my life. While I don't get to see her everyday, I'm sure that she is the right person for me and talking to her is always the high point of my day." Edited by Lisa Curran Online dating offers new arena even for college-aged romantics BY MOLLY A. MARTIN editor@kansan.com Overall online dating service usage has increased in recent years, but is this the case for college-age students? According to the Nielsen Company, dating site popularity has grown from 24.2 million monthly users in January 2006 to 30 million in January 2010. Twenty-nine percent of users on Match.com are under the age of 30, according to Match.com's media room statistics. For Patrick Shields, a sophomore from Shawnee, free online dating services such as OkCupid. com serve as a way to meet people he would not otherwise meet. Shields signed up for OkCupid at least two years ago, and said he has been using the site off and on. "I used OkCupid to sort of extend my range." Shields said. "I've been an earlier adopter of a lot of different technologies and for me online dating is just another way to increase my odds." Created by the founders of both SparkNotes and TheSpark, OkCupid markets its services to users by offering the matchmaking site for free. Other online dating services such as Match.com and Yahoo! Personal charge for their services. "It is a nearly impossible market to crack without marketing, which costs many more resources," OkCupid. com said in explanation of the lack of other free matching services. For Shields, OkCupid's matchmaking technology and site design are what drew him. The site uses personality analysis and question I think it is an unnatural way to meet people, but I am giving it a shot and hoping that it will prove me wrong ... " money. That's our best guess. Also most matching services use poor, expensive technology, or crappy languages like Java, requiring MIRANDA HALEY Senior from Topeka answering questions about yourself and what your ideal partner would think it actually sort of uses technology to present you with naires, which allows users to answer individual questions about themselves and how their ideal partner would respond, to find potential matches. "What I like about OkCupid is it free and they have a really nice interface. By people who you would be most compatible with, which is technology unheard of in any other site by now," Shields said. "I have always been against online dating. I think it is an unnatural way to meet people, but I am giving it a shot and hoping that it will prove me wrong and that I will meet someone great off of it. If it doesn't work out then I can tell my friends to back off," Haley said. Along with privacy concerns that stem from online communications, there are both advantages and disadvantages to going online instead of meeting people in a more traditional manner. For Miranda Haley, a senior from Topeka, online dating was something she previously had been opposed to and just recently decided to try. For Shields, the advantage comes from the ability to monitor a prospect's profile and matches. "Even though I love the idea of it, I don't know if it has reached the critical mass where I can really meet people who I really want to be with," Shields said. — Edited by Michael Bednar "When you talk to someone in person, you don't know anything about them until they tell it to you but when you are looking at profiles online you can screen out people who you are not compatible with, without wasting their time," Shields said. "There is an element of someone that can't be contained in an online profile. You can't know for certain if you are compatible with someone until you meet them." Although one of Shield's friends met her current boyfriend of three years on OkCupid, Shields expressed some doubt about his use of online dating. TOP 5 FREE ONLINE DATING SITES 1.

If the woman is on top, she can't get pregnant. Shoe size is directly related to penis size. These are just a few of the myths that pollute campuses everywhere. They may seem ridiculous and obviously untrue, but they are still believed by students. What students may not be aware of are the general feelings toward this topic and their fictional parts. Dennis Dailey, professor emeritus of social welfare and sex therapist, sheds some light on a few different myths about sex. The following allegations are not as radical; therefore, students are often more susceptible to believing they are true. Dailey recommends that students educate themselves about sex to keep from falling victim to these myths. 2 MEN ARE HAVING MORE SEX THAN WOMEN EVERYONE IS HAVING SEX 1 It's a generalized assumption that men are engaging in sexual activity more often than women. "Men tend to show sex"; Daily said. A survey done by the American College Health Association in 2009 showed that about 34 percent of college students reported no sexual partners within the last 12 months. Not all of your peers are having sex. Many refrain due to personal beliefs. You hear more about the sexual encounters of others just in one siting on Wesco Beach than you want to hear in a life time ed having four or more sexual partners within the last 12 months compared to 6.1 percent of women. These numbers are not that far apart. Another factor to consider is that women may not be as willing to disclose their actual activity. often than women. "Men tend to show more sexual activity than women, but the gap is narrowing." Dalley said. According to the same survey done by the ACHA, 10.5 percent of men report Beach than you want to hear in a life time. It may seem as if everyone around you is having sex, but that is simply not true." A good proportion (of students) are, but it's a myth that everyone is having 3 TODAY'S COLLEGE STUDENTS KNOW A LOT ABOUT SEX "You can be dumb as a stump and still get laid," Dailey said. For instance, many students think sex should always produce students think sex should always produce a female orgasm. This is simply not true."A lot of college students believe that sexual intercourse should result in orgasm for female partners when in fact only 25 to 30 percent of women will have reliable orgasms," Dalley告说. Sex and relationships are not as easy as they seem. "Falling in love and getting married does not guarantee good relationships or good sex," Dalley said. "Knowledge and hard work does." COMMENTARY The right song can set the mood for passionate moments Music goes well in almost any situation: exercising, partying, relaxing. The list goes on. And then there are those times when a certain situation calls for a certain song. Sometimes musical artists capture the mood better than awkward silence or your nervous, incessant babbling. If you are uncertain how to go about having sex, just go with the flow and see what soundtrack works best. Also keep in mind your audience. Know how fast or slow they want to go and don't scare them with a suggestive playlist. Some songs are better suited for one-night stands rather than a candle-lit night with your wife of 15 years. Everyone knows about Barry Manilow, Barry White and Blondie. You aren't going to impress your date with staples from the past five decades. There's a lot of music out there and you shouldn't just settle with anything. A special occasion should require a special song. For the new generation, here are BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com some familiar artists that have a little something for the bedroom. SLOW AND STEADY "Insatiable" - Darren Hayes For the most intimate experience musically and sexually possible, the former lead singer of Savage Garden weaves a silky-smooth and beautifully fragile gem. The airy backdrop suits a heavenly atmosphere and his voice furtherns your journey to intimacy. The song is, well, insatiable. "Like It or Not"- Madonna But when she uses lines like, "I'll be the garden, you'll be the snake. All of my fruit is yours to take," it's hard not to get that feeling. There is a seductive darkness here. And what list would be complete without Madonna? There's a good chance this is not even a love song. Anvthing from Robin Thicke Robin's voice automatically makes the ladies swoon. He's a dreamy guy and his albums are erotic on such a level that it makes it hard to enjoy it as it is. They compel you to engage in promiscuous activity. If you want it narrowed down, start off with the delicate "Dreamworld" or "Sex Therapy." If you think you have the lasting power, throw on a full album. "Making Love (Into the Night)" - Usher Usher got the voice to make your ___ go ___. You fill in the blank. There's no need for Ush to dilly-dally. It's as simple as picking the girl and making love as long as time allows. Straight-forward and beautifully performed in the process. "Here in My Room" - Incubus Get away from the people and into the closest room. Here's a charming little narrative about a sexual encounter with the suggestive tag, "Your love is a verb here in my room." The party is boring and the people are uninteresting, then in walks that one who changes the whole dynamic. They just happen to be better suited unsuited. “Wanna B Ur Lovr” - Weird Al Yankovic Some people will find a use for this one. Weird Al pulls out all the greatest sexual innuendo in a smooth and funky attempt at a sex song. If you aren't in a serious mood or need an ice-breaker, here you go. "How'd you get through security'cuz baby, you're the bomb. I'd like to take you home right now so you can meet my mom." If you have never seen FAST AND NAUGHTY pornography, this is as close as you can get, audibly. The lyrics gush with eroticism, though you might not be paying attention during the course of action. Don't worry. You won't have to pay attention to what he says to feel what the song is getting at. Warning: Juice may be involved. “Up All Night”-Hinder Here's the sex, booze and rock'n roll track. Maybe you aren't lowoking for an intimate relationship. Maybe you'll do something daddy won't like. Maybe you won't get to sleep before the sun rises the next day. The ultimate post-party hookup jam. "Butterfly" - Jason Mraz Somehow, Jason makes a raunchy sexual encounter seem so innocent. Love-making is supposed to flow and this song is pure liquid. He's even nice enough to make breakfast the next morning. "Easter"- Janelle Monae It's all about pace with this one. If at any time one of you are waning, the recurring "faster and faster" should fix it. Janelle delivers it in a light manner, so as not to push you too hard. "End Transmission" - AFI Though it would be fun, a rapturous, late - right car ride like this song depicts isn't recommended. It has a bit of Billy Idol flavor in it to accent the dark yet benevolent theme. The first line hits you with "Pull the top down, use your knees to drive." The ride just goes from there. "Peacock"-Katy Perry Katy Perry is not talking about the bird. The inmuendoes are not subtle at all and Katy Perry doesn't waste any time trying to get what she wants: "Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock?" Do you really want to let her down?

Howard Ting/KANSAN ADMINISTRATION Regents assess University's proposals amcnaughtonkansan.com BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON sighton.san.com The Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday in Topeka with higher education officials from state universities. Much of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues pertaining to the University of Kansas and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed Regents on four separate occasions. The following is a list of some of the issues and proposals that Regents reviewed and their effects on students and the University. Applied The University's request for Approved: a Master of Arts and doctorate program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies was approved. Refer to Stephen Montemayor's article for more information regarding the program. Reviewed: A 1.6 percent increase translates to about $58 more for a traditional "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system." Regents reviewed the Department of Student Housing's proposal for a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees. The increase in fees is not uncommon and occurs annually to offset the increases in the cost of living. The University's increases were two-person room raising the rate from $3,642 to $3,700. GARY SHERRER chairman, Board of Regents This year's increase proposals are lower than they were last year because of the deactivation of student phone lines in student rooms from the summer. That saved the University about $500,000. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said she based her proposals off estimated increases for the following year. the lowest proposed from the state universities. Regents received the University's report on the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship Program and approved the request to make the pilot program permanent. For more information regarding the tuition and fee waiver program refer to Stephen Gray's article. Approved: Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter updated Regents on the external audit recently ordered for the School of Business. The accounting firm BKD LLC performed the audit and stated in its report that of the $30 million raised since 2004 from course fees, 99.8 percent of the funds were spent appropriately. Updated: Although Regents acknowl edged that many of the financial issues occurred before Gray-Little and Vitter, Regent Chairman Gary Sherrer and Regent Tim Emert were dissatisfied with, of all schools, a business school's mishandling of student funds. The search is currently underway for a new dean for the school and the fourth candidate to visit campus was here this week. Vitter and Gray-Little said they now know funds weren't accounted for and that the student advisory board should not have been dissolved back in 2006. Both Gray-Little and Vitter said they are looking to move forward. "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system," Sherrer said. Gray-Little said she has been working with Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, and student leaders to further develop strategies to reduce waste on campus and within the community. Sherrer said that kind of miscommunication sends a bad message to students. Edited by Alex Tretbar This year, the University's website for energy-related issues was updated to highlight sustainable efforts in education, research, operations and campus life. In January, the University will join Kansas State University in a sustainability competition that will last until June. New scholarship program approved The University has more than 230 sustainability related-courses and various avenues are taken on campus to increase the University's efforts. Along with other state universities, Gray-Little presented to Regents the university's annual sustainability report. Students with family ties to KU can apply for tuition discounts now that the program is in place. The website cost $3,500 to redesign and took 10 weeks. Michael Wade Smith commissioned the task force that put the website together. Senate hopes to allow students to more easily see what it is doing around campus.

Howard Ting/KANSAN ADMINISTRATION Regents assess University's proposals BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcaughton.kansan.com The Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday in Topeka with higher education officials from state universities. Much of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues pertaining to the University of Kansas and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed Regents on four separate occasions. The following is a list of some of the issues and proposals that Regents reviewed and their effects on students and the University. Approved: r h e University's request for a Master of Arts and doctorate program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies was approved. Refer to Stephen Montemayor's article for more information regarding the program. "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system." Regents reviewed the Department of Student Housing's proposal for a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees. The increase in fees is not uncommon and occurs annually to offset the increases in the cost of living. Reviewed: The University's increases were A 1.6 percent increase translates to about $58 more for a traditional two-person room raising the rate from $3,642 to $3,700. This year's increase proposals are lower than they were last year because of the deactivation of student phone lines in student rooms from the summer. That saved the University about $500,000. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said she based her proposals off estimated increases for the following year. GARY SHERRER chairman, Board of Regents Regents received the University's report on the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship Program and Approved the lowest proposed from the state universities might help us筛准 students approved the request to make the pilot program permanent. For more information regarding the tuition and fee waiver program refer to Stephen Gray's article. Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter updated Regents on the external audit recently ordered for the School of Business. The accounting firm BKD LLC performed the audit and stated in its report that of the $30 million raised since 2004 from course fees, 99.8 percent of the funds were spent appropriately. Updated: Although Regents acknowl edged that many of the financial issues occurred before Gray-Little and Vitter, Regent Chairman Gary Sherrer and Regent Tim Emert were dissatisfied with, of all schools, a business school's mishandling of student funds. "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system," Sherrer said. Vitter and Gray-Little said they now know funds weren't accounted for and that the student advisory board should not have been dissolved back in 2006. Both Gray-Little and Vitter said they are looking to move forward. The search is currently underway for a new dean for the school and the fourth candidate to visit campus was here this week. Sherrer said that kind of miscommunication sends a bad message to students. Gray-Little said she has been working with Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, and student leaders to further develop strategies to reduce waste on campus and within the community. In January, the University will join Kansas State University in a sustainability competition that will last until June. — Edited by Alex Tretbar This year, the University's website for energy-related issues was updated to highlight sustainable efforts in education, research, operations and campus life.

Boy goes out to bar. Boy meets a pretty girl. Girl flirts with Boy and accepts the drink Boy buys for her. Boy asks Girl to go home with him at the end of the night. And one thing leads to another, or so the story usually goes. A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 80 percent of college students have had sex. But with our preference to recount the evening in slang words, like "hooking up" with someone or "shacking" somewhere, do we really know what happened? With the reliable run-around-the-bases analogy long retired, our vague descriptions of encounters leave the truth in the hands of the people involved. Even if one thing didn't actually lead to another, more than likely people assume that it did. Our definitions of relationships and sex have become extremely blurred. Casual sex, hooking up and "friends with benefits" seem more prevalent than actual relationships. Is it a bad thing? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on what you're looking for. Do you want consistent sex but not something serious? Or random sex without names? Maybe you optimistically hope for a relationship — or choose to abstain from sex altogether. Take your pick. And though the options may seem liberating, it can cause problems. One person can want a serious relationship while the other wants to keep it casual. This collision is why, above all, sex complicates things. You can have it too soon, too late, too often or too little. Sex can mean nothing or it can mean everything. And that's where this very special Jayplay issue comes in. KELCI SHIPLEY EDITOR We're here to talk about one-night stands, orgasms, love and attraction, fetishes and potentially complicated relationships. A lot of thought, research and discussion went into the issue, and we hope you find our advice useful for your own experiences.

Michelle MacBain is his co-host. > Tackle the sticky world of relationships. Since 2007, Kansas In Heat has been answering all questions related to sex and relationships. During that time I'd say that around 40 to 50 percent of our questions have surrounded one thing oral sex. Everyone is interested in knowing what their partner thinks about oral sex, how to convince their lover to give them oral sex, and, of course, how to get better at oral sex. Since this is the Sex on the Hill edition, we here at Kansas In Heat thought we'd give you the cliff notes on anything ever written about how to give oral sex from a guy's and girl's perspective. holds Mike Anderson: From a guy's perspective, oral sex can be the ultimate in sexual arousal. This is an opportunity for the guy to just lay back and receive pleasure. And believe it or not, there are ways to make this act even more pleasurable. Second, be sure to spend ample time using your tongue to caress the corona (the little ridge around the base of the head) and especially the frenulum, the part of the corona on the underside of the head. For the majority of guys the frenulum is the most sensitive part of the penis and the part that causes us to orgasm. The first tip I'd give for giving oral sex to amaleis to show enthusiasm. Nothing turns guys on more than someone who is really into the sexual act Third, move your head up and down so that your lips caress as much of the shaft as you can. Even though the shaft is less sensitive than the other parts discussed earlier, it is still very pleasurable to feel your mouth around as much of the penis as possible. Fourth, and maybe most importantly, while providing oral caresses, use one hand or both to stroke, cup his scrotum, or just provide a body massage. Warm up your hands and stroke the shaft while you move up and down with your mouth, lips, and tongue. Alternating sucking with licking of the head and shaft will always feel great. Lastly, the best thing you can do is get feedback. Check in with him to make sure it isn't too intense or light. Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat? Send it to kansasinheat@yahoo.com or check out the Kansas in Heat Facebook page. Yulia Michelle MacBain: Listen up, guys. There is more to oral sex than orally and manually attacking that clitoris with lightning speed and force we have vibrators for that! Oral sex is a uniquely pleasurable experience because of the warm, wet, soft sensation of the mouth on the genitals. First, take your time. Kiss, lick, suck, and caress the body. Since the skin is one of the most powerful organs for sexual satisfaction, find those hot spots all over her body and work them! This will allow her to relax, release, warm and open up! As you work your way to the vagina, don't forget about the labia majora, the outer, larger labia just inside the inner thigh. Warm this area with your mouth and gently pull back each side to uncover the labia minora, the inner, thin skin protecting the clitoris and vaginal opening. As the clitoris begins to swell, use your mouth to lightly suck and encourage blood flow to the area. Just like an uncircumcised penis, the clitoris is protected by a layer of skin. The head of the clitoris beneath this layer is extremely sensitive. Expose this area by gently pulling back the skin and uncovering the "head." With a strong, but not forceful, tongue, lick the clitoris from bottom to top with long strokes. Alternate this with gentle sucking. At this point, you might want to use one hand to maintain the exposure of the clitoris and insert one or two fingers of the other hand into the vagina to stimulate the g-spot. Don't forget, my friends, that all of these techniques will be completely useless if you don't "tune in" to your partner's physical and verbal cues of satisfaction. Use those responses to guide you in what is or isn't working! 11 4 18 10 839 MONTH $839 MONTH $654 MONTH EXP 11/30 GOOD-BYE WALK OF SHAME CAMPUS --- NAISMITH HALL Welcome to the ONLY fully-furnished student living available near Kansas University—Lease Today!

DASH Salon & Day Spa 3727 W 6th Suite C 785.856.1720 www.dashsalonandspa.com --- CONTACT ❤️ FIVE QUESTIONS // MILTON WENDLAND & BRANDON WOODARD MILTON WENDLAND I think of sexuality as that combination of sensory and mental perception and interpretation of the world around us. I think of it as more than just sexual orientation. And I think sexuality goes beyond just sex or orgasm. A solid relationship requires communication. If everyone is communicating honestly and openly, then the relationship can take almost any form that people want it to take. I think all humans have the potential to enjoy sex. Culturally, we tend to teach women to suppress or control their sexual appetites, while men are more often allowed to express those feelings. Sexuality is a part of human existence, and a one-night stand can be an expression of that. One-night stands are problematic when they are non-consensual, and when alcohol or drugs are involved. Sometimes people mistake love and sex and this can be a problem. Sex is the more biological part — genitals, hormones and chromosomes Gender is how those differences are regulated and expressed — the way we take up space, how some careers, and movies or objects are 'for' women or 'for' men. Gender is not a bad thing, but it can limit us. 1 HOW DO YOU DEFINE SEXUALITY? 2 WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON OPEN RELATIONSHIPS? 3 WHO DO YOU THINK WANTS SEX MORE: MEN OR WOMEN? 4 WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON ONE-NIGHT STANDS? 5 HOW DO YOU DEFINE GENDER? I define sexuality as one's desires and behaviors. Different people have different traits that they are attracted to, whether that be heterosexual, homosexual or anything in between. In any relationship there is always some sort of connection. While some couples act like they're fine with it, I feel that deep down there is always a sense of jealousy that can ultimately ruin what would've been a decent relationship. Men want sex more than women. That is a fact. Men think about it more, they generally seem to do it more (no pun intended), but it's no secret that guys want sex. One-night stands happen all of the time. It's inevitable in college. But they can sometimes get complicated depending on whether or not you have to see that person in the real world outside of your bedroom. I think they are fine, as long as people aren't doing it every day. I think that sex is what is legally assigned to someone at birth, and gender is what one identifies as, as an adult. While most commonly those two remain the same, there are sometimes cases of people who later identify as a different gender. It's what one mentally feels like they are.

CAROLYN JACKSON HOMETOWN: Leavenworth MAJOR: Film Media. Studies INTERESTED IN: Men YEAR: Senior CATCH OF THE WEEK // SPENSER FITZPATRICK INTERESTS: I love films — making them and watching them. I've taken up yoga to relieve stress recently, and I write whenever I have time. I love to be outside and in warm weather. Give me a beautiful park or forest and I'm pretty content. And zombies. I have an odd fascination with zombies. NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL WINNER: A good sense of self. Clearly nobody knows exactly who they are, but I need somebody who's pretty comfortable with who they are now. TURN-ONS: A really good sense of humor is a great start. Intelligence is always a big plus, not school-wise, but in the worldly sense. Good noses. It has to fit the face perfectly — a bad nose just throws off the whole thing. Finally, knowing when to have a good time, but also being able to get serious when needed. I like to have someone who can have pointless fun with me but is also there for support and to be supported. TURN-OFFS: I can't stand people who choose not to have an opinion. I feel like we have so much potential to make an impact and choosing to be indifferent is a big downer. WHY I'M A CATCH: I'm fun, spontaneous, humble enough not to know what to say on here, unique and engaging. And very easy to talk to. I love listening to what anyone else has to offer.

Sara T. Nicole V. Cmt N. Lincoln D. Imagine you've been dating someone for a while and you think you're ready to have sex with him or her for the first time. But first, your new partner wants to know just how many people you've slept with. You're faced with two choices — if you say a number too low you could be seen as inexperienced, say a number too high and you might look like you get around. So what should you do? When Kelsey, Tecumseh senior, is asked how many partners she's had, she says she doesn't lie, but she does what's necessary to avoid being judged. "I just give an estimate — if I give a ballpark number then I'm not technically lying but I don't have to worry about them knowing my exact number," Kelsey says. Though it may be tempting to lie about your number, Dr. David Eigen, psychologist and author of Men—The Gods of Love and Women—The Goddesses of Wisdom, says that the long-term consequences of lying are worse than the potential argument revealing your true number might cause. "Inside we all know when someone is lying We know when which feelings — it may be just an uncomfortable feeling or underlying distrust but it's there," Eigen says. "Never lie, trust is earned and by being truthful you create trust." Eigen suggests revealing your number in a way similar to the way Kelsey describes. He says that if you don't want to discuss your past in detail you should tell your partner what you learned and how you've grown from your past experiences. Though she's been surprised by some of her partners' numbers, Kelsey says she's never looked at them differently, because she feels like there's an explanation behind someone's number. While it's human nature to be curious, Dr. Sybil Keane, psychologist and relationship expert on Justanswer.com, says there are more important issues for couples to focus on than each other's past. She says that your partner's past has nothing to do with your lives together and should be avoided if possible because the consequences could be lethal to a relationship. "A person may think they want the truth when knowing it may cause distress or feelings of inaptness in their relationship," Keane says. John, St. Louis graduate, says that if a girl asked him to reveal his number, he'd try to direct his answer in a way that would avoid giving the exact number. Though he's never had a girlfriend ask about his past, he says he usually lies when the topic comes up in conversation because the number of girls he's slept with would surprise his friends. "Overall it's just a number and not every girl that I've slept with was sex that I enjoyed," John says. "I'm at a point in my life where having sex just to have sex isn't my main goal." Photo illustration | Adam Bubler John is not alone in his teeling that avoiding the truth could be beneficial at times. Tony DeRosso, relationship expert and founder of www.onlinedatingmatches.com, says a lot of Photo illustration | Adam Bubler Adding up: Though you and your partner may have varying numbers when it comes to sexual conquests, it's important to discuss the matter with respect for one another. guys automatically assume a girl has "divided by three" when revealing her number, so it might not hurt for a girl to stretch the truth sometimes. "If the guy asking seems like he's quick to make a judgment call, a little white lie could prevent a firestorm of false assumptions." DeRosso says. If your partner insists on knowing your exact number, Keane says it should be a one-time conversation. She says both parties should agree to never use the information in an argument and understand that once it's discussed hat should be the end of it. However, she says these agreements don't always work out. "Most times both will agree 100 percent, that is until the next big fight and then boom it gets used against one another in some way, shape or form," Keane says. According to a 2004 survey by TNS Global Market Research, American women report an average of six sex partners in their lifetimes, while men average about 20 partners. Keane says people often embrace their "made up" number before their true number. "Women tend to downplay their number to seem like a 'good girl,' while men tend to increase their number in order to show their 'manliness.'" Keane says. These gender-specific tendencies are supported by a 2007 study by the Journal of Sex Research, which reported that undergraduate men desire a significantly greater number of sex partners than undergraduate women. Over a one-year period, women were interested in an average of one sex partner, while the average man wanted about six partners. If these desired numbers were accurate, they wouldn't match up with the actual numbers revealed in the TNS survey. Ultimately, you shouldn't let your number of partners define you." Whether you've had a lot of experience or none, being with someone you enjoy and are willing to be sexually open with should be enough," Keane says. TOP 10 THINGS . YOUR GIRL SHOULDN'T KNOW (source: www.askmen.com) 10. Your actual conquest count. Give a rough estimate instead of an exact number. 9. Where your money goes. Giving an approximate salary is fine but she doesn't need to know where your extra cash goes each month. 8. Ongoing parental dependency— She doesn't need to know just how much you depend on mom and dad 7. Your weaknesses and fears. It's fine if she finds out on her own, but don't admit all the things that make you cry like a little boy. 6. Your bathroom activities. She doesn't need to know the size, aroma or frequency of your trips to the toilet. 5. Your friends' moral shortcomings. Telling her all your friends' secrets will just cause her to not like them, not to trust them and will make hanging out impossible. 4. Your masturbation schedule. She doesn't have to know your schedule and frequency. 3. Your cheating past. If you let her know about past indiscretions she'll think "once a cheater, always a cheater" and will always be second-quessing you. 2. Your ex-girlfriend memorabilia. The moment she finds out that something in your place is connected to an ex she'll immediately want that item gone. 1. Your ex-girlfriend memories. If something reminds you of an ex, keep that story to yourself. Your girl will either think you're still hung up on your or that she isn't as much fun. The past is the past. 7 11 18 10 IS SAFE IS SAFE The seventh and final installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premiered this morning at 12 a.m. at the Hollywood Theaters — South Wind 12 on Iowa Street.

AMANDA KISTNER ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // CONDOMS > In case of emergency, read quickly Sex is an intimate and vital part of our lives. Most people know and practice safe sex but there are things you may not know about condoms. "I always knew condoms were used to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections," says Nick Packauskas, Hays graduate student. "But there are important things to know about condoms that I never thought of before." For both the experienced and inexperienced person, it is important to know how to handle a condom before having sex. "Thismaynotbeabigissue,butexperimenting and knowing what you want out of sex plays a part in what condoms you choose," Olivia Burchett, education and outreach coordinator for Douglas County AIDS project, says. For instance, flavored condoms work for oral sex, but can cause irritation and rashes if used for vaginal or anal sex. Lubricated condoms create less friction and are therefore less likely to break during sex. Water based lubrication is the best bet because oil-based condoms, or substituting non-lubricated condoms with baby oil or Vaseline, are more likely to break. Use non-lubricated condoms for sex in the shower because water-based condoms deteriorate quicker. Remember, when putting the condom on pinch the tip to prevent air from building up inside. To be safe, make sure that the person whose fluids are on the outside of the condom is the one to remove it after sex. Don't be afraid to experiment with different kinds of condoms. "Go with your partner and find one that you like together," Burchett says. "This is another form of intimacy and connection that can make your sex life safer and more enjoyable." JON HERMES Lifestyle styles WA LOVL se lys Safe sex: Not only is important to use condoms to prevent pregnancy and STDs during sex, but different condoms should be used based on variation of sexual acts. Contributed photo IN THE LIFE OF // A SEX STORE MANAGER > Living vicariously through others is okay with us. Some people may feel uncomfortable selling a giant vibrator or flavored lube to a stranger, but it's a routine for Allison Ortego. Ortego doesn't give a purchase like this a second thought after working as the store manager at Crilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., for two years. Though Ortego acts as any other retail manager, the merchandise is quite different. At 8:30 a.m. Ortego gets the store ready to open. She orders new products, takes inventory and helps customers throughout the day. Ortego says she sees customers ranging from old men purchasing porn during the day to couples and college students later at night. She says she often deals with prank phone calls from older men and young teens. Ortego says Cirilla's sells a wide variety of porn. She says she feels like she knows the porn stars personally because every day she sees them in compromising positions and reads about them in magazines. At a steep cost of $105.95, Ortego says her favorite item in the store is the We-Vibe. "The We-Vibe fits internal contours and is like hands-free sex. It's one of the best vibrators we have," she says. The We-Vibe can be used on its own and also during sex. AMANDA KISTNER Contributed photo MARK RUSSELL BOOKS Sex sells: For Allison Ortego, manager of Cirilla's selling sex-related merchandise has lost its uneasy feeling. The store sells everything from porn to bachelor party supplies to lube and vibrators. --- 11 23 66 CAN YOU FINISH IN 30minutes? 2LBS OF MEAT 6 SLICES OF CHEESE 8 SLICES OF BACON 1 LB OF FRIES IN 30 MINUTES or less the Jefferson's Burger Challenge JUICY MEATY FUN Jefferson's RESTAURANT WINGS BURGERS-OYSTERS 85-832-2000 *743 Massachusetts* Lawrence, KS SAFE IS SAFE Howard Ting/KANSAN The seventh and final installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows preformed this morning at 12 a.m. at the Hollywood Theaters — South Wind 12 on Iowa Street.

Not satisfied in bed? You are not alone. A 2006 Durex Sexual Well-being Survey found that of 26,000 people only 44 percent were completely satisfied in bed. If you are part of the 56 percent who is not satisfied, don't give up just yet. There are hundreds of ways you can spice up your sex life. Karen Harrison, a certified sex therapist from Kansas City, Mo., recommends using the Trojan Vibrating Ring. It is a rubber, battery-powered ring that slides onto the base of the penis and stimulates the clitoris. "Most women are not able to orgasm from penetration alone," Harrison says. "Stimulation from the ring helps, and it does not require any effort from either partner." Kelsey Myers and her boyfriend have been using the Trojan Vibrating Ring for several weeks. "Our sex is a lot more exciting now," says Myers, Wichita senior. "The ring has made a huge difference and it feels great." Watching educational sex films and looking through sex books can also help spice up. your sex life, says Isadora Alman, a certified sexologist and licensed psychotherapist and counselor in Alameda, Cali.

After drinking seven beers and taking four shots of vodka, Koch was drunk. "I remember meeting the first 15 people or so, but after that I really don't remember the rest," says Koch, Wichita junior. Photo illustration | Ben Pirott Although Koch didn't remember everyone she met, one guy in particular caught her eye. "He was so cute. He had tanned skin, dark-brown eyes and an irresistible smile." Koch and her new crush flirted for the rest of the night and ended up making out. "One thing led to another and the next thing I knew we were waking up next to each other," Koch says. "I never saw him again after that. I really regret getting that wasted." The aftermath of having a one-night stand depends on the expectations of each person involved and the circumstances in which it occurs. Koch regarded her one-night stand as a negative experience because alcohol clouded her judgment and led her to do something she regretted. But for some people, a one-night stand can be a positive experience used to express oneself sexually in a fun and exciting way. One and done: Many college students experience the emotional and/or physical effects of having a one-night stand. If you're thinking about sleeping with someone for one night only, consider your expectations and what you want out of the experience before jumping in the sack. things I hadn't done before and it was fun." alcohol to a few drinks and to always stick with When dealing with one-night stands, Dr. John Wade, outreach coordinator for counseling and psychological services at KU, says it is important to enter into each situation with awareness and clear communication about each person's expectations. Instead of focusing on the immediate situation, people should think about the long-term effects of their actions. "You need to think about how you are going to feel the next day or even a week from now before you act," Wade savs. The attraction to one-night stands is different for different people. Dr. Neil Cannon, a certified sex therapist and couples counselor in Denver, Colo., says some college students use one-night stands as a way to explore their sexuality and exercise their independence from mom and dad. "College campuses are rich with young people who are not married or in long-term relationships, yet their hormones are swirling like a summer tornado," Cannon says. "Good sex is pleasurable, and for some, it is a relief from the stress of school." Michael Kells has had three one-night stands in the past three years and says they were all good experiences. "Before coming to KU I was in a relationship with the same girl for three years and she didn't like to try new things or be playful," says Kells, Fort Worth, Texas, junior. "Through my one-night stands, I was able to try Kells says his experiences were positive because he always kept open communication with each girl. "Before we would hook up, we would always talk about what kind of contact we wanted from each other afterward so that neither of us got hurt," Kells says. Karen Harrison, a certified sex therapist from Kansas City, Mo., says a one-night stand can be a fun way to experiment and try something new and exciting, like it was for Kells. However, she warns people that one-night stands are not all about the fun. There is responsibility involved. "One of the most negative things people can do is not use protection and end up pregnant or with an STD," Harrison says. She says using protection is a must. Alcohol can also turn a one-night stand into a negative experience for one or both individuals involved. Harrison says when people are under the influence they may do things they wouldn't normally because they feel less inhibited. "This might make you act outside of your morals, causing you to experience shame and guilt," Harrison says. She advises people to limit their // THAT'S A WRAP // alcohol to a few drinks and to always stick with a friend they can trust while drinking.

The University Daily Kansan 14/ SE ★ 1047 FEATURE OVERCOMING SEXUAL TABOO PHOTOS BY | DALTON GOMEZ Feline fantasy: Though the word "fetish" may scare some people away, in today's society it is more commonly used to describe a sexual preference, not just a freaky act. HOW COUPLES DEAL WITH FETISHES WORDS BY | MEGAN RUPP What's in a name? Apparently, a lot. Fetish. The word can ignite distinct mental images. Handcuffs. Leather. Golden Showers. Spankings. Whips. Nurse costumes. Basically what a fetish boils down to, right? Wrong. A sexual fetish can be a lot of different things. You need an alarm clock to go off to have an orgasm? That would be a fetish. You're only attracted to obese, blonde men? That might be one too. You can't be sexually aroused by someone who is not clean-shaven in his or her pubic area? You probably have a fetish. have a fetish. A fetish can be both a sexual need and a sexual want. It's hard to get experts to agree on what a fetish actually is, but they do agree that the negative social connotation associated with it has made it into a taboo. Dossie Easton, author of When Someone You Love is Kinky, says she defines a fetish as a sexual delight that someone believes is sick, wrong or too far out. someone believes is sick, Mark. For Mark, a graduate student from Orlando, Fla., it seems very little is too far out. He claims to have a fetish for "trying new things." He says he doesn't need any particular thing to happen on a regular basis, but he does need to constantly explore new sexual ventures. Often, his girlfriends have been willing to explore with him, but that's not always the case. Communicating openly about one's desires is not something a lot of couples are able to do, but for those who are, experts say they will have a much more gratifying and intimate sexual relationship. "I had never done anything like that, but I've always wanted to," Mark says. "We just kind of went with it, but we talked about it afterwards." "I go in knowing the parameters and the limits, but I'm always willing to test them." Mark says. He is currently in a relationship in which his girlfriend is also willing to try new things. His first comment about his fetish was that over the weekend he had given his girlfriend a "rim job" for the first time. The act involves oral stimulation to the anus of the recipient. could because he had big feelings. Mark says communication about his fetish for exploring new practices has been key in his past, as well as current, relationships. Experts agree that discussing fetishes openly, regardless of how intimidating it may seem, is well worth the pay off. Mark says he had been thinking about trying something new to switch things up. He hadn't planned it ahead of time, but when she mentioned that she needed to use the restroom, he suggested she do it on him. People who experience sexual pleasure from golden showers either enjoy urinating on someone else or being urinated on by their partner. Sexual adventure doesn't always come so naturally to Mark as his rim job experience did. In some relationships, he says he and his HAVING "THE TALK" partner talk about what they are going to try beforehand. This was the case when he and a past girlfriend decided to give golden showers a try. or being unlamed on by the. "She was hesitant at first, but she said 'alright, I'll give it a try.' Mark says. 'It felt pretty good, but she wanted me to return the favor and I couldn't because I had stage fright." Having the courage to sit down and discuss your fetish and what it does for you can be healing, says Carol Queen, sexologist and columnist for Good Vibrations Magazine. She says some people are nervous to even mention a fetish to their partner because they feel it's bizarre, have been made to feel embarrassed by it in the past or have had a former partner react negatively to experimenting with them. "With some couples, it can be very healing to have your partner explain how their fetish tends to manifest importance in their sexuality because in itself, the conversation is an intimacy building exercise," Queen says. She says college students today, unlike past generations, are generally open to exploring their sexuality and are much more willing to understand that not everyone is the same sexually. She says this alone should vest young people with more confidence in talking about fetishes openly. Still, she acknowledges that many people feel ashamed about fetishes they have and are inclined to keep them secret. Queen says it's never too early to talk about sexual desires. This is a hurdle Mike, a 2010 graduate from Leawood, says he has not been able to overcome. He has yet to have a relationship last longer than two or three months, and says he hasn't felt he has ever reached a level of intimacy in which he felt comfortable talking about some of his sexual fantasies. Despite his passive personality, he says he tends to like intelligent, driven girls who are willing to dominate the relationship. He hasn't dared try it yet, but says he would like to try a toned-down version of S&M one day. "I've always envisioned that I would enjoy the submissive end," Mike says. "It's not something I've ever done, but I think I would like to try domination and humiliation type of stuff." He says he would be interested in using handcuffs with someone he feels comfortable with, but hasn't had the opportunity to venture that far in his past short-term relationships. Talking about sexual fantasies might require a couple to reach a certain level of intimacy, but it may also be a way to combat mundanity for long-term couples. Mike Anderson, a doctoral student in communications who studies healthy communication in romantic relationships, says it's important for couples to explore fantasies in order to avoid coming to a sexual stalemate. "People who communicate their sexual likes and dislikes have better sexual satisfaction, which is related to better relationship satisfaction," Anderson says. "Exposing a sexual fetish allows us to reap the benefits of knowing about our partner's sexual likes and EXIT $839 MONTH $654 MONTH EXP 11/30 GOOD-BYE WALK OF SHAME $839 MONTH $654 MONTH EXP 11/39 GOOD-BYE WALK OF SHAME Welcome to the ONLY fully-furnished student living available near Kansas University—Lease Today!

Studies have repeatedly found that couples who experiment with sexual variety are much happier than those who don't. Sexual relationships tend to become routine over time, but Anderson says this is the easiest way to prevent that from happening. Key to discussing experimentation, Anderson says, is communicating your desire for the fetish to remain private. He says people are often afraid their partner might share the information with someone else, but discussing your desire for privacy will help ensure that the trust will not be broken. Examining the reasons why people tend not to talk about fetishes and fantasies is a focus of Anderson's work. Though he has yet to reach a conclusion, he speculates people either feel their sexual desire will be viewed as deviant or they're afraid their partner will be unwilling to try out their fetish. "Chances are, if you're a female in a relationship with a guy and you're scared to tell him what your fetish is, you shouldn't be," Anderson says, "Because it's probably not nearly as raunchy as what the guy has in his mind about what he wants to do sexually." Anderson says when approaching your partner, you should be careful not to make him or her feel inadequate. He says letting your partner know that "you please me in the sexual arena, but you know what would really please me? You'd be all ears." READY FOR THE NEXT STEP? But how do you know if you're ready to "go there" yet? Depending on the fetish, it can be easy. For Elizabeth, a graduate student from lola, getting what she wants sexually is as simple as pulling a guy towards a wall. "I really like doing it up against the wall," Elizabeth says. "Most guys will just go for it. They're so distracted anyway, they don't really care." Just making out up against the wall turns Elizabeth on and most guys don't fight it. Though her fetish isn't socially stigmatized, she says she'd be willing to initiate anything she wants because she assumes that guys are willing to try almost anything a girl can think of. Elizabeth says she would prefer to have sex up against the wall regularly, but if her partner didn't feel the same way, she'd be willing to compromise. "I'd say 'Hey, every once in awhile let's do it my way and then every once in awhile let's do it your way,'" Elizabeth says. Though Elizabeth may be willing to meet her partner halfway, not all people are able to do so. When Dylan, a senior from Overland Park, let his girlfriend shave his butt before she gave him a rim job, he knew it wasn't something he'd do again. The couple showers together every night and he says "she shaves my bum every now and then," but on his 22nd birthday, she Pep Balls decided to also shave between his cheeks and give him a rim job for the first time. "It was kind of relaxing because we were in the shower, but at the same time I wasn't anticipating it," Dylan says. "I liked it, but I didn't love it." He's not sure why she wanted to give him a rim job and he says he doesn't want to know. It was something he was willing to try, but didn't find sexually pleasurable enough to do again. He says he has allowed his girlfriend to continue shaving his butt because he knows she prefers him to be clean-shaven. Experts say couples like Dylan and his girlfriend who experiment openly are likely to benefit from trying. The same experts say that disclosing the truth about your fetish can be more difficult depending on the degree to which the practice is associated with deviance. Before his current relationship, Mark, from Orlando, participated in what is socially regarded as more extreme forms of sexual exploration. While he was single this summer, he visited Club Erotica KC in Kansas City three times. Visiting a swinger's club had always been on his bucket list, so he decided to take a chance. He says the first time he visited, he delivered oral sex to a woman while her husband watched. Mark says giving oral sex is his favorite sexual act. The woman wanted to return the favor, but Mark says he was too uncomfortable to go through with it.

PINKIE PEEKAH His third and final trip was more adventurous. After giving oral sex to a woman, he "ended up having intercourse with her while she was eating out another girl and her fiance was getting that girl from behind." Although he enjoyed his experiences at Club Erotica KC, Mark says he doesn't plan on returning anytime soon because his current girlfriend wouldn't be willing to go with him. Mark can accept that because she is still willing to explore her sexuality at home. Though going to a nudist, exhibitionist, voyeuristic swinger's club might sound "far out" for some, the owner says about 50 percent of his patrons are college-aged. The man known as Poker opened the establishment in 2000 to promote sexual exploration and open sensuality in a "comfortable, house party" setting. "I give people a place to explore their fetishes because a lot of times these things have become so taboo that they can't be talked about," Poker says. "People have the wrong idea about swingers. It's all about enriching couples' relationships with each other and finding people you can share with." Before having to pay the entry fee, Poker gives visitors a tour of the house, during "party hours", so they can decide if they are interested in staying to try things that may or may not be new to them. He says people sometimes choose to leave immediately, but those who choose to stay even if they're nervous, generally end up coming back. WHEN FETISHES GO WRONG Given Mark's need for adventure, there is no room for sexual close-mindedness in his romantic relationships. In fact, a past girlfriend's inability to explore ended their relationship. "She was so hesitant to try anything new that it became a deal breaker," Mark says. "It was just tough to overcome that." Sexologist Carol Queen says fetishes can cause relationship problems for couples for two major reasons: the person cares more about satisfying their fetish than intimacy with their partner or one of the people has a fetish that the other just can't handle. "Sometimes it's 'I can't go there with you and sometimes it's 'I can't stand it that you go there,' " Queen says. She says some people have secret fetish lives — choosing never to disclose a fetish to a partner, but satisfying it independently — so meeting halfway is often enough to save a relationship, yet few reach that level of compromise. When someone decides to explore their partner's sexual fetish, but rarely has their own needs met, the relationship is likely to end. Queen says people sometimes feel like they play a production assistant role in satisfying a fetish, rather than a lover to the person with the fetish. Dr. Sandra Scantling, a sex and intimacy therapist, gave an example of how this can become a problem by describing a teddy bear fetish. The fetishes she sees most involve inanimate objects. In this case, a woman must have a teddy bear present in order to reach climax. She says in most cases fetishes are accepted, but "when things start to get crowded in the bedroom" couples will begin to resent the fetish. She says that as long as no one is hurt and both parties are willing participants, the relationship will probably not suffer from the existence of a fetish alone. Dossie Easton, author and sex expert, says avoiding the negative side of fetishes is as easy as saying "no." She says that if your partner's fetish actively distresses you, you can choose not to participate, and if you and your partner have an open relationship, either of you can find satisfaction elsewhere. "Most of the problems caused by fetishes devolve from forbidding or pathologizing them," Easton says. "I think most everyone can enjoy some ornamentation in their sex life. I agree with Kinsey when he states that the only unnatural act is one which cannot be performed." 14 SINGLE ROOM STANDARD ROOM & MEALS $839 MONTH $654 MONTH EXP 11/30 GOOD-BYE WALK OF SHAME SINGLE ROOM $839 MONTH STANDARD ROOM & MEALS $654 MONTH EXP 11/30 GOOD-BYE WALK OF SHAME Welcome to the ONLY fully-furnished student living available near Kansas University—Lease Today!

ADMINISTRATION Howard Tina/KANSAN Regents assess University's proposals amcnaughton@kansan.com BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday in Topeka with higher education officials from state universities. Much of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues pertaining to the University of Kansas and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed Regents on four separate occasions. The following is a list of some of the issues and proposals that Regents reviewed and their effects on students and the University. Approved: The University's request for a Master of Arts and doctorate program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies was approved. Refer to Stephen Montemayor's article for more information regarding the program. "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system." Regents reviewed the Department of Student Housing's proposal for a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees. The increase in fees is not uncommon and occurs annually to offset the increases in the cost of living. A 1.6 percent increase translates to about $58 more for a traditional This year's increase proposals are lower than they were last year because of the deactivation of student phone lines in student rooms from the summer. That saved the University about $500,000. The University's increases were Reviewed: two-person room raising the rate from $3,642 to $3,700. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said she based her proposals off estimated increases for the following year. GARY SHERRER chairman, Board of Regents Regents received the University's report on the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship Program and the lowest proposed from the state universities. Approved: approved the request to make the pilot program permanent. For more information regarding the tuition and fee waiver program refer to Stephen Gray's article. Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter updated Regents on the external audit recently ordered for the School of Business. The accounting firm BKD LLC performed the audit and stated in its report that of the $30 million raised since 2004 from course fees, 99.8 percent of the funds were spent appropriately. Updated: Although Regents acknowl edged that many of the financial issues occurred before Gray Little and Vitter, Regent Chairman Gary Sherrer and Regent Tim Emert were dissatisfied with, of all schools, a business school's mishandling of student funds. "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system," Sherrer said. The search is currently underway for a new dean for the school and the fourth candidate to visit campus was here this week. Vitter and Gray-Little said they now know funds weren't accounted for and that the student advisory board should not have been dissolved back in 2006. Both Gray-Little and Vitter said they are looking to move forward. Sherrer said that kind of miscommunication sends a bad message to students. Gray-Little said she has been working with Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, and student leaders to further develop strategies to reduce waste on campus and within the community. This year, the University's website for energy-related issues was updated to highlight sustainable efforts in education, research, operations and campus life.

NOTICE LOVE AT FIRST SEX CAN REWARDING RELATIONSHIPS DEVELOP OUT OF CASUAL SEX? MEGAN RUPP CITY Keep it casual: Although having a hook-up buddy can be convenient, be careful what you wish for. If you're looking for a long-term relationship, casual sex may not be the way to go. Relationship quality increases when partners delay sexual satisfaction. Photo illustration | Howard Ting When Austen Hensley and his ex-girlfriend started spending time together, they had no intention of entering a monogamous relationship. "Neither of us were looking for anything serious," says Hensley, Wichita junior. "The more we talked and hung out, the more we just kind of fell into it." Hensley says they had been "hooking up" for about a month before they decided to make it official. Though the relationship lasted three and a half years, Hensley is still skeptical about the quality of long-term relationships that develop out of casual sex or "friends with benefits." "They could work if the two people truly cared enough about each other," Hensley says. "But in my experience, when you actually get to know the person beforehand, it works a little better." Hensley may be right. In a study released in the Social Science Research journals, researchers surveyed 642 heterosexual adults to measure the quality of their serious relationships. Anthony Paik, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, who headed the study, says it suggests that relationships are more rewarding for people who delay sex. But, it's not just because the couples decided to wait. "The quality of relationships might deal directly with who is in those relationships, rather than the manner in which they were initiated," Paik says. "Some hook-ups do lead to a long-lasting relationship, but most of them don't because people are either not looking for that or are predisposed to low relationship qualities." Paik says people who are prone to finding relationships unrewarding tend to seek out purely casual hookups. But, people interested in establishing relationships are just as happy about "hooking up" as those who enter serious relationships traditionally. He says you're more likely to find a good match by delaying sexual involvement, simply because you share similar long-term expectations. "When people don't delay sexual involvement, there's a good chance that one or both partners will leave or end the relationship very quickly because a long-term commitment is generally not what they're looking for." Paik says. Paik says the study suggests that because expectations are so low, casual dating may not be the best way to develop a long-term relationship. He says being casual doesn't give people looking for true love the opportunity to screen out non-romantic people with different goals. But monogamy isn't for everyone. Omri Gillath, an assistant professor of social psychology, says the concepts of "friends with benefits," staying single for life and having nontraditional families are less stigmatized today than in the past, allowing people to feel more secure about about things like having casual sex. Though casual sex has become a trend, he says people's opportunity for monogamy has more to do with their own expectations than their sex practices. "If you're having sex just for the heck of it, monogamy might not be something you're interested in," Gillath says. "But if you're having sex because you're in love or falling in love, exclusivity can still be a possibility in a casual sex situation." Gillath says sexual strategies depend on the short-term or long-term goals that you have in mind. He says that as people begin to invest more time in their careers, they think less about committing to relationships. "Friends with benefits," then, becomes a convenient way to establish casual relationships. This "friends with benefits" approach worked for Libbey Barry, St. Louis senior, who began her relationship with no serious intentions. She and her boyfriend met shortly after they had each ended long-term relationships, but have now been dating for more than a year. "I had just broken up with my boyfriend and he had just broken up with his girlfriend, so we both just wanted to hang out and keep each other company because we were kind of lonely," Barry says. "It was definitely nothing serious, we would just hang out a couple nights a week." Barry says the two had known each other before their break-ups, but developed a "friends with benefits" relationship shortly after. She says what started as a fun, casual hook-up turned into an official relationship after only two months of seeing each other. As they grew closer, the two started talking about how their initial expectations had changed and realized Communicating with your partner about your relationship expectations is key to making something more out of casual sex. For two people not looking for a serious relationship, casual sex may be the way to go. Otherwise, delaying sex and getting to know someone may be a better option. That way, you know you both have similar long-term expectations. Jp they both wanted the relationship to move in a new direction. 17 V WHE 17 1 18 10 IS SAFE The seventh and final installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows preformed this morning at 12 a.m. at the Hollywood Theaters — South Wind 12 on Iowa Street.

Bret Imgrund was a junior; I was a sophomore. He finally noticed me at a party. At the beginning of the night he didn't know my name, but by the end, we were holding hands. Some people are the type who always want to be in relationships. Not me. But soon after our first date on New Year's Eve, Bret was more than just the cute boy in my chemistry class. I didn't think our relationship would be anything serious. After a few months, girls would ask me, "Oh, do you love him?" and I would laugh and say, "No, I'm 17 years old." My weaknesses are his strengths. I worry and get stressed out easily — he's relaxed and laidback. He's very affectionate and loving, but not the person who is overly gooey or musky. I had days when I wanted to call it quits. But he pulled us through. We'll be together for six I did fall in love with Bret, but not until I was in college. I think I loved him in high school, but I needed to grow up and mature to understand what love really is. I can't say why I love him, but I can say what I love about him. years in January. years in January. Every year we go on a date to Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., where we like to go ice-skating. Last December, as we were walking around the fountain courtyard, he was telling me how much he loves me. This didn't surprise me --- the date is always special and romantic. But what happened next did. He pulled me in and asked me to marry him. The only emotion I felt was shock. Is this really happening? Of course I said yes. After I called my parents with the news, I fully realized that yes, this is actually happening. I couldn't stop smiling.

SPENCER ALTMAN "It's like this buildup of the best tension, and then it releases into a rush that makes me convulse and tingle throughout my body. Then I just want to lie still and smile for a while." - Jackie, an Overland Park senior "It's the best thing in the world, almost like you're in a sweating turmoil and then dunked into a bath of ice water. But you feel great, like you're oblivious to everything except your own weightlessness." -Dave, a Dallas senior The above are a female and male student's description of what the French call "le petite mort," or "the little death" — a metaphor they use to explain the brief spiritual release that accompanies an orgasm. Though you might think of sex as a physical sensation, it all starts in your head. So exactly what parts of the brain are active during stimulation? And how do they explain the sensations that register leading up to and during climax? To answer those questions, neuroscientists have begun using imaging scanners to map the areas of the brain that flare up during an orgasm to better understand why it feels so damn good. The scans measure the amount of blood flowing to the different parts of the brain in response to different stimuli. In 2003, Dutch neurologist Gert Holstege began observing both male and female participants using positron emission tomography (PET) scans. What he found in both was an increase in blood flow to a section of the midbrain called the ventral tegmental area (VTA), which, unsurprisingly, is responsible for the release of dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical produced in your body that's integral to your reward and pleasure system. The VTA releases different amounts when you eat, exercise, have sex, problem-solve, or take drugs like cocaine and heroin. For some, the reward and pleasure feeling is so great they become addicted. Holstege believes the gratification of sex is a factor of evolution, explaining that the brain has two goals; survival of the individual and survival of the species. "When you do something good for survival of the species, like ejaculation, you're brain lets you know this by giving you feeling of pleasure and reward," he says. What was more interesting in Holstege's findings has to do with a deactivation, or silence, in women's brains in areas that elicit fear and anxiety. "What we see is these women 'let it go' at the moment of orgasm, and if they can't let it go — we're talking around 30 percent of women we're talking achieve orpsam" he says. While many seemingly healthy women report an inability to achieve orgasm, others who have neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury (despite doctors who deny the possibility) say they can. When Rutgers University neuroscientist Barry Komisaruk sought answers to this phenomenon he found their stimulation was via the Vagus nerves, which bypass the spinal cord on the way to the brain, but he also recorded something even more surprising. "We see a number of women who can actually think themselves into orgasm without any physical stimulation," he says. To test their claims, he first measured the bodily reactions that accompany an orgasm — the doubling of heart rate, blood pressure, pupil dilation, and pain threshold — and found that the women were telling the truth. Komisaruk and his colleagues use functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to map their participants' brain activity during orgasm, which appears much closer to real-time than PEI scans. By doing so, they were able to show the sequence of brain areas that become active leading up to, and during orgasm. Komisaruk and his colleagues presented their step-by-step findings earlier this week at the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting. First to be activated in the minutes leading up to orgasm are the sensory areas that process the physical stimuli that have been sent via the spinal cord to the brain. Then the amygdala (regulates emotion and fear) and hippocampus (behavioral inhibition) begin to light up, followed by the climaxing rush of dopamine let out by the nucleus accumbens and spread throughout the VTA. Before we get the reward of dopamine, we're hit with shots of neuropenphrine and epinephrine (adrenaline) that are responsible for the raised blood pressure, awareness, and tingly sensation described during orgasm. On top of that, both men, and especially women, receive secretions of the hormone oxytocin, which causes feelings of attachment. Oxytocin is responsible for much more, says University biologist David Pendergrass, who gives seminars on the role of sex in the brain. "It's probably the reason why having intercourse with your partner more frequently actually contributes to you staying together as a couple," he says. Pendergrass also suggests that "better" sex propels more oxytocin into the bloodstream, thus making a woman more prone to attachment with that individual. So not only does the brain control the initial arousal that inspires sex and the pleasures that are a product of it, but also the long-term attachment that produces relationships. "It's all in your brain. It starts and ends there," he says. The natural highs we feel during sex come from the same chemicals that get you high on drugs. Here are a few that start flowing during the most intimate of moments: DOPAMINE // Produced in many areas of the brain, most notably the ventral tegmental area (VTA), dopamine plays important roles in pleasure, reward, motivation, sleep, mood, and attention. EPINEPHRINE // Also known as adrenaline. It affects nearly all body tissues and is responsible NOREPINEPHRINE // Synthesized from dopamine, this stress hormone affects many areas of the brain. Along with epinephrine, it elicits the fight-or-flight response by increasing heart rate and blood pressure. for that tingly feeling and muscle contractions. SEROTONIN // While most of your serotonin reserves are in your gut, this neurotransmitter is responsible for feelings of well-being and is an active ingredient in many antidepressants. OXYTOCIN / Not only does the release of this neurotransmitter accompany women during labor and breastfeeding, it's also released during orgasm in both men and women and has affects on long-term bonding.

Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said she based her proposals off estimated increases for the following year. T h e University's request for Approved: two-person room raising the rate from $3,642 to $3,700. The University's increases were "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system." a Master of Arts and doctorate program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies was approved. Refer to Stephen Montemayor's article for more information regarding the program. GARY SHERRER chairman, Board of Regents Regents reviewed the Department of Student Housing's proposal for a 1.6 percent increase in housing fees. The increase in fees is not uncommon and occurs annually to offset the increases in the cost of living. A 1.6 percent increase translates to about $58 more for a traditional Reviewed: the lowest proposed from the state universities. Regents received the University's report on the Jayhawk Generations Scholarship Program and approved the request to make the pilot program permanent. For more information regarding the tuition and fee waiver program refer to Stephen Gray's article. Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey Vitter updated Regents on the external audit recently ordered for the School of Business. The accounting firm BKD LLC performed the audit and stated in its report that of the $30 million raised since 2004 from course fees, 99.8 percent of the funds were spent appropriately. Updated: Although Regents acknowl edged that many of the financial issues occurred before Gray-Little and Vitter, Regent Chairman Gary Sherrer and Regent Tim Emert were dissatisfied with, of all schools, a business school's mishandling of student funds. Vitter and Gray-Little said they now know funds weren't accounted for and that the student advisory board should not have been dissolved back in 2006. Both Gray-Little and Vitter said they are looking to move forward. The search is currently underway for a new dean for the school and the fourth candidate to visit campus was here this week. "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system," Sherrer said. Sherrer said that kind of miscommunication sends a bad message to students. Gray-Little said she has been working with Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, and student leaders to further develop strategies to reduce waste on campus and within the community. at In January, the University will join Kansas State University in a sustainability competition that will last until June. This year, the University's website for energy-related issues was updated to highlight sustainable efforts in education, research, operations and campus life. Reported: Along with other state universities, Gray-Little presented to Regents the University's annual sustainability report. Edited by Alex Tretbar The University has more than 230 sustainability related-courses and various avenues are taken on campus to increase the University's efforts.

PLAY Memorial Stadium is meant for 50,071 people, but on this particular spring day there were only two. The Minneapolis, Minn., couple, of Jeff Truitt, 2009 graduate, and Britney Busch, senior, scored the perfect day date at the football stadium, but they were far from the bleachers — they were on the 50-yard line. "The gates were open," Busch says. "So we played football on the field." The couple worked up a sweat but the date didn't end there. "Then we ran through the sprinklers," Busch says.

Howard Ting/KANSAN ADMINISTRATION Regents assess University's proposals BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaighton@kansan.com The Kansas Board of Regents met Thursday in Topeka with higher education officials from state universities. Much of the meeting was devoted to discussing issues pertaining to the University of Kansas and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed Regents on four separate occasions.

Approved: T h e University's request for "If you can't track where a dollar comes from and where it goes, then you don't have a good system." a Master of Arts and doctorate program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies was approved.

This album originally started as a live set designed to be played at the 2010 SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas. It received such good reviews that The Octopus Project members decided to take their set to the studio and polish the recording into its own new album. Hexadecagon contains no lyrics, but features many layers of synths that create a positive and uplifting mood. Fans of previous Octopus Project albums will be shocked with the clean sound compared to the lo-fi recordings formerly used. Because of its live music origins, Hexadecagon should be listened to all the way through. It also follows a standard of live entertainment with a hook at the beginning, displaying the artsy and technical beauty in the middle, and getting crazy at the end to leave the audience truly satisfied. The operer "Fuguefat" is one of the liveliest on the album and hits you with a barrage of pianos from the start. The 11 minute long track in the middle named "Circling" takes you on a journey to a wonderful and swirly place with more than 40 synth loops. "Catalog" is the final track and will slam your headphones with a sound wave large enough to surf from the hills of KU to whichever coast you please. Other tracks on this album that shouldn't be left out are "A Phantasy," which harks back to to their older sound, the very bizarre and fun track "Glass Jungle," and the spacey and dreamlike "Hallucinists." The Octopus Project has clearly found a new sound that displays their creativity and craftsmanship at its finest and makes you feel good to listen to. It's hard to be angry or stressed about anything after listening to Hexadecagon. Give it a listen and try to contain your smile. ★★★★ | ZACK MARSH BOOK REVIEW // FREEDOM > Reading, it's not just for textbooks, you know. Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen, has become the latest pot of gold for an American public and intellectual class searching for answers about what America is now. The novel centers on the Bergiusus, a middle-class family living in a gentrified section of St. Paul, Minnesota. Politically liberal Walter mortgages his environmental radicalism for more pragmatic progress on conservation projects. Meanwhile, Walter's wife Patty slowly suffocates under the weight of middle-class pleasantness and secretly seeks out the unreliable affection of Walter's former college roommate and successful musician. Joey, Walter and Patty's teenage son, falls in love with the emotionally needy daughter of the God n' Guns Republicans that live next door. The first half of the novel spins a web of personal storylines that are devastatingly torn apart in the second half. However, the long exposition doesn't come off as meandering. Rather, Franzent takes the time to develop each character in such depth that each carries emotional force and complexity throughout. In the second half, the numerous contradictions, lies and conflicts begin to drag the characters' lives ever-so-slowly into a seeming abyss. The characters have taken their freedom and with it they have built themselves a personal hell. The choices made by the Berglungs force them into increasingly morally-bankrupt choices. Freedom comes close to being a real American Tragedy. But it is not. There is, ultimately, redemption. Franzen wanted to end the novel tragically. But he couldn't do it. The key to the character's redemption is freedom, the very thing they used to bring suffering upon themselves. I prefer to think Franzen wrote redemption into his novel at the last minute as an exercise of his freedom; his freedom as the author to wrest back control of the narrative from the fatally-flawed characters he set into motion.

INTERRUPTED 1 HOW ONE MAN'S LOVE HELPED UNDO THE DAMAGE OF ANOTHER MEGAN RUPP Daddy dearest: Megan Rupp (right) was taught valuable lessons about love and its potential harm through her relationships with the men in her life. She is pictured here with her mom and biological father, also known affectionately as Nino. My dad taught me a valuable lesson, one I work to unlearn even today. Men are not loyal, not to be trusted and certainly not loved. He abandoned my mom and me when I was 8. I found the salmon-colored Post-it that read, "I'll be back," on the kitchen counter before my mom woke up. I was left broken, angry and insecure. He'd left countless times throughout their 15-year marriage, but this time felt different. He wasn't just disappearing for a couple weeks with one of his girlfriends. A week later he returned at night, when he knew I'd be asleep. In the golden retriever puppy card he left with my mom, he wrote that he planned to return in a couple days. Tears cascaded down my face as I read the card in my closet the next morning. Another four months passed before he came back for his things. I wept and pleaded for him to take me with him until he promised to visit at 3 o'clock that Saturday. I had watched him lie for years. I had no reason to believe him, but I did. I waited for six hours on the steps of our redwood porch. I tried convincing myself he'd come because he loved me and I wasn't dispensable. My mom begged me to come inside, but I assured her he would come. He never did. He broke the only promise he had ever made to me and I never saw him again. To suppress my heartbreak, I focused on my relationship with my mom. She was strong and always had been. When my dad disappeared, she never cried in my presence. When we couldn't afford to pay the electricity bill, my mom and I played games in the dark. When the city turned our water off, we raced our bikes to the store for gallons with which to bathe. Reminding me that life could be fun again was her way of protecting me. I was blissfully unaware my dad had stolen her life savings when he walked out on us, leaving my mom unable to pay the mortgage. We could have been left homeless, but her best friend allowed us to live on his 50-foot sailboat for a year. Still, I never knew we were poor. Living on the boat with my mom was just one of our adventures. The man my mom had called her best friend for nearly two decades, had been my dedicated godfather my entire life. My Nino, short for padrino (godfather in Spanish), had spent every Friday night taking me out on a "date" for as long as I could remember. We went bowling, to movies, out to dinner, whatever I wanted. He had his own family, but made time each week to make me feel special and develop our relationship. We grew close over the years, but it wasn't until I was 10 that my mom explained just how we really were. My mom says after my dad left I withdrew from life. She says I lost my smile, my laugh and every sign of "being a kid." I went to therapy once a week, but she still worried I would never She and my dad had always wanted children. When they discovered he was sterile, they turned to artificial insemination, but were uncomfortable resorting to an anonymous donor. Who better to turn to than my mom's best friend, my Nino? From a logical standpoint, hearing that I hadn't been abandoned by my "real" father helped, but emotional trauma cannot be numbed my logic. It still hurt. I now had lingering sentiments of betrayal, but trusted that my mom and Nino had done the right thing. return to the outgoing child I once was. But she had a secret she hoped would help release me from the depressed state. After consulting my therapist, she decided to tell me my dad wasn't my biological father. Even so, I was unprepared when my mom decided to marry my Nino when I was 13. Two years after my dad left, my Nino and his wife divorced. He started dating my mom after his divorce was finalized. During the four years they dated, I allowed myself to grow even closer to him, despite my instinctive reluctance. I almost remembered what it meant to be a "real" family. But my feelings about my Nino changed upon hearing that he would be marrying my mom. He was now someone who could abandon us again. Even though I knew I should've trusted him, on their wedding day, I felt like I saw my mom falling into a trap. Before people arrived. I realized I had left my pale blue, satin heels that perfectly matched my dress at home. I saw it as an opportunity to prevent what I feared most from happening. All rationale aside, I threw a fit like an infant begging for a pacifier. Laurel, my childhood babysitter, dragged me into the other room, looked me dead in the eye and said, "Please tell me you're not really this selfish. Can't you let her be happy, just for today?" I looked down the hall to see my mom getting ready as if nothing had happened. I saw pain in her eyes, despite her storic expression. Then she hurried into the bathroom and shut the door. The sound of her hidden whimper hurt in new a way. Suddenly, I became the cause of her pain. Embarrassment and contition flooded my being. I slipped on the black, platform sandals I had worn earlier, walked over to her and held her without speaking. The embrace we shared said enough. Though she wanted my support, she would be married either way and I had to accept it. But to accept him, I had to let go of the past. Before the ceremony ended, my Nino reached for my hand and showed another ring. A dome of diamond-covered platinum topped the gold band. For a moment, I stood shuddering. I winced at a timorous reflection I caught of myself in a mirror across the room. Covered by shadow, I appeared cold and unforgiving. I detested the detached person I had made excuses for myself to become. Thoughts flooded my mind, drowning out all outside noise until his tender voice pierced the chaos. "Megan, today I promise my love and commitment to your mother. I promise to care for her and protect her for the rest of my life. In that promise, I vow myself to you as much as I do her. I will never leave you, never lie to you and no matter what you do, I will always love you." His tone was melodic and sincere. I secretly questioned his seemingly unconditional acceptance of me. I both resisted and craved his willingness to care and his gift of affection. His tough hands softened as he gently slid the band on mine. Knowing my apprehension, he attempted to ease my anxiety with his promise. My ambiguity turned to relief. I hadn't yet let him into my heart completely, but I felt comfortable knowing that my mom and I were safe. I knew he loved us; now I needed to learn to love him. I remembered John 14:1 and repeated it to myself throughout the evening. Do not let your heart be troubled. I didn't want to feel resentful or suspicious anymore. I coveted the joviality I saw in everyone else. I needed to know everything would be fine. The day two best friends married to become my parents, they taught me a new lesson: sometimes you have to let your guard down and take the risk of trusting again. That same day the man I now call my father made me a promise, one he has yet to break. He gave me more than a ring; he gave me a key that began to unlock the door that protected my heart. He helped set me off on my path of self-healing. I no longer hide from the mess my dad made of me.

Liebsch remained on ticket office staff after the University of Kansas commissioned an independent investigation last spring into fraudulent ticket sales. The report did not implicate Liebsch in any of the activity. "We went by the report," Jim Marchiomy, associate athletics director, said. However, since the investigation began last spring, Liebsch has been named as one of the four former employees and a former consultant indicted for stealing tickets. Each of the defendants face a maximum penalty of sell to third parties 90 years in federal prison, as well as a Simpson defendants face a maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison, as well as a $1 million fine per person. "With a federal investigation ongoing, we have known that indictments unfortunately, were a possibility; interim athletics director Sean Lester said in a press release from the Athletic Department. "We strongly support the U.S. Attorney's search for the truth in this matter." Tom Blubaugh, 46, and Charlette Blubaugh. 43, both from Medford, Okla.; BEN Kirtland, 54, of Lenexa; Rodney Jones, 42 and Liebsch, 28, both from Lawrence, are the indicted. According to a press release put out by the Attorney General's office, Blubaugh began stealing season tickets for KU athletic events in 2005. She gave the tickets to Kirkland, Jones, Liebsch, Brandon Simmons, former assistant athletics director, and Jason Jeffries, former director of ticket operations, to This violated University policies limiting staff members to two complimentary season tickets for football and Simmons and leftries pled guilty to related offenses and are not included in the new indictment. They have delayed their sentencing until March 2011 but possibly face three years in prison and fines up to $250,000. One method they allegedly used was to purchase money orders with cash in amounts less than fund requirements in an effort to keep their personal gains from being traced back to them, according to the Attorney General's office. The report also claims that the officials entered false information into a computer system installed to prevent ticket theft. It also said that they made payments, write checks and had ticket brokers write checks to parties not affiliated with Kansas Athletics. basketball, which are not allowed to be transferred or sold. Liebsch had been serving as the director of ticket operations at Kansas Athletics since January. She had started working for the ticket office as a University student in 2002. "We have implemented measures to strengthen our ticket protocols and make the entire process more transparent." Lester said. Efforts have been made in the last six months to ensure donors, fans and students can trust the Kansas Athletics ticket office, Lester said in the press release. --- Those measures include new controls and restrictions on access to the ticketing system and new transparency regarding seating among other actions.

The Kansas Board of Regents approved Thursday the permanent application of the Jayhawk Generations legacy tuition discount For the 2008-2009 academic year, a nonresident student paid $16,272 in annual tuition; the actual cost to provide education for this student was $12,678. The Jayhawk Generations Scholarship makes use of this difference ($3,594) to establish a tiered system of partial tuition waivers for eligible students. Students with an ACT score of 34 or above receive a 30 percent discount. (added for the fall 2011 semester) Students with an ACT score between 30 and 33 receive a 20 percent discount. Source: Vice Provost for Student Success Marlesa Roney This scholarship program was designed last year to encourage enrollment of high ability out-of-state students with family ties to the University of Kansas. The Regents had approved the program on a temporary basis for fall 2009, and it has proven beneficial to recruiting with the 123 students currently in the program. "We want to be able to take advantage of multi-generation ties and bring students to KU so they can continue their family traditions," said Jack Martin, the deputy director for University Communications. Martin said the scholarship helps the University and contributes to the state's economy in that it brings talented students to Kansas who might not be interested otherwise. Bringing students to the University can, of course, also lead them to stay. According to a study done by the University in preparation for the proposal last year, 27 percent of non-resident students remain in Kansas or the Greater Kansas City Area after graduation. Several regional universities such as the University of Missouri, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln also have similar out-of-state programs for legacy students. Remaining competitive in this area was one of the main reasons that the University originally adopted a program, Martin said. Jennifer Jackson Sanner, senior vice president for communications "We felt it was important to get into the competitive arena among other top regional universities that have programs that are similar if not more generous," Sanner said. of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, said alumni and their families have been fully supportive of the scholarship. There are several qualifications that must be met to receive a scholarship. First, a nonresident freshman must have a parent, legal guardian or grandparent that graduated from the University to be eligible. In addition, these students have to maintain a minimum 3.25 GPA while enrolled at the University, as the scholarship is renewable for up to four years. Melissa Hebbert a freshman from New Jersey, was awarded a scholarship and is in favor of the decision to make the program permanent. She said the tuition waiver made going so far out of state to attend her mother's alma mater seem reasonable. Sanner said it was important to note that the program doesn't reduce "It is still above the current instate rate and still will help subsidize the costs for in-state students," she said. tuition for out-of-state students below the cost of providing their education at the University. "I think it provides students with the opportunity to continue, or even start a tradition of academic success here at the University of Kansas," Hebbert said. Edited by Alex Tretba CAMPUS Board of Regents approves new doctoral program at KU BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemavor@kansan.com Beginning next fall, the University of Kansas will offer a doctoral program for the department of women, gender and sexuality studies. The Kansas Board of Regents approved the program at its Thursday meeting, according to Regents spokesman Kip Peterson. John Younger, director of WGSS and professor of classics, said he saw the program's establishment as both legitimizing the discipline and contributing to its definition. "And even so, it's still evolving." Younger said. Only 17 other universities nationwide offer a Ph.D. program in women's studies, with the closest being Texas Women's University in Denton, Texas. Younger said the field was still fairly new. The University has one of the oldest programs in the field, but the major was not official until 1974 and the program until the early 1990s. When Younger became director in 2008, the department changed its name from women's studies to women, gender and sexuality studies. After completing the program's required classes, Younger said candidates would take a qualifying oral exam to determine whether they received a master's and leave the program or continue on toward a Ph.D. He said PhD candidates would later present another oral presentation on what they wanted to do for their dissertation. The idea, he said, is that they make certain they're aware of their stance in the history of the field and what change or development they will contribute. "I rather like this concept," Younger said. "Placing yourself as a scholar within a continuum is really good. You know where you are in this program." The University submitted a proposal for the program the regents in 2009. An external review team of women's studies professors from outside universities also met with students, faculty and staff last May and recommended approving the proposal. The University has said the program would not require additional costs and would be financed within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In its proposal, the University said the doctoral program was a response to growing national demand for interdisciplinary scholars. The external review team came to a similar conclusion. "Women's studies is one of the most swiftly growing fields of inquiry to emerge in the past 40 years, generating one of the most significant and influential shifts in academic thought in recent memory," the review team said in its report. Associate professor Hannah Britton occasionally works in Africa researching women in government and women organizations that fight gender-based violence. Her courses often blend WGSS and political science, an interdisciplinary approach she said was a strength at the University. DaMaris Hill is a doctoral student from Baltimore. Her dissertation, a novel titled "Willows of the Spring," uses literature to examine the cases of women who were discriminated against and imprisoned during the Great Depression. Hill expects to graduate in Aug. 2011 with a Ph.D. in English and creative writing with a WGSS certificate. She said without the WGSS program, she wouldn't have been exposed to professors with approaches like that of Britton. Hill said the program was also important because it allowed for opportunities to talk about how genders interacted. "That's what it's really going to come down to," she said. "How will they work together?"

BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com Faculty member Mary Brieck died of hip cancer on Nov. 9 at age 59. Brieck had been working as the operations manager for the Center for Research on Learning since March 2002. "She wanted to help students be better students," Deshier said. Brieck was a passionate woman, Billinger said, both about the plight of the mustang and about her work. Brieck was born on March 21, 1951, in McKeesport, Penn. She received her bachelor's degree from Point Park College in Pittsburgh, and obtained her master of business administration from Ohio State University. Deshler said in the last few weeks, Brieck spoke of some leg pain. She waited to go to the doctor until all her deadlines were met and she had a day off. She continued to work from home, but never returned to the office. band, Eugene, and two sons, Eugene and Jonathan, who both went to the University of Kansas. Williams said Brieck was very close with her sons. "She was such a hard worker — a delight to work with," Deshler said. "Everyone thought the world of her." Once it was time to work, Deshler said, she put in tremendous hours and never looked at the clock. OPELIKA, Ala. — A former Army soldier who claimed to be mentally disturbed from his deployment in Iraq was convicted of capital murder Thursday in the abduction and shooting death of an Auburn University student from Georgia. Brieck is survived by her hus- Edited by Dana Meredith NATIONAL Former solider charged in murder of Auburn student ASSOCIATED PRESS Jurors deliberated about six and-a-half hours over two days before convicting Courtney Lockhart, 26, of rural Smith Station, in the killing of 18-year-old freshman Lauren Burk of Marietta, Ga. set sentencing for Jan. 28. Wearing a black suit, Lockhart sat calmly with his lawyers and showed no emotion when Circuit Judge Jacob Walker read the verdict. Burk's family members, mostly sitting behind the prosecution table, began hugging each other and patting each other on the back. Jurors then voted 12-0 after deliberating for another hour to recommend sentencing him to life in prison without parole, rather than death by injection. The judge is not bound by the jury's recommendation. He tentatively "That was a pretty strong statement from the jury." Abbett said. But District Attorney Nick Abbett, who is retiring in January, said it might be hard for the judge to overturn an unanimous recommendation for life. Burk's sister, Jaklyn Semones of Alpharetta, Ga., said she felt fine with the life in prison without parole recommendation. "I'm just happy this has come to an end. Justice was done," Semones said. Burk's father, Jim Burk, released a written statement thanking police, prosecutors and the jury of eight men and four women for the verdict. "We still have some questions as to why this happened, but hopefully we can find answers in the future. We continue to love and pray for Lauren," he said. Burk was abducted on the night of March 4, 2008, as she got into her car in a campus parking lot after visiting her boyfriend. According to statements given by Lockhart, he pulled a gun on the screaming student, trying to rob her, and forced her into her car as he drove it off. During the argued sentencing, jurors heard emotional testimony from Lockhart's mother and father, who expressed sorrow for the grief the son caused the Burk family. His mother, Catherine Lockhart Williams, tearfully apologized to Burk's mother, who was sitting in the front row of the gallery. "I just want to say to you and your whole family that I am sorry, I feel your pain because I am a mother, too. If I could I would get up and hug you but they probably wouldn't let me do that," said Williams. In a statement to police read to jurors earlier during the trial, Lockhart said he ordered her to disrobe, not to have sex with her but because he thought it would make her less likely to escape the car. At one point Lockhart said he spoke of his problems: "We started talking about how my life was over. She said she could help me get a job," he said in a written statement. But Burk was shot in the back at close range as she opened the door and jumped from the car.

The 36-year-old Cee Lo Green enjoys dazzling people, but he is human and totally aware of how useful eccentricity can be. "I am a rare occasion," he said, turning the word "rare" into a purring roar. "I think if everyone had known it was going be me who succeeded, they would have supported me a lot more. They would have known what to do with me a lot earlier. They just didn't know." Green has dealt with the music industry's attempts to squeeze his major talent into manageable packages. His label Goodie Mob helped invent the Dirty South sound that brought hip-hop into the 21st century; Green was the rapper-singer whose musical flow pointed to new styles of rhyming later picked up by the likes of Lil Wayne. Green (born Thomas Callaway) made a few far-out solo albums after leaving Goodie Mob in 1999. 1973-05-26 GREEN "This project is neatly defined, for the first time in my career," he said of the new album, released last week. "The Lady Killer" has already proven to be a gift that keeps on giving. Its first single, the mirthfully profane "Forget You," became the viral hit of late summer in its uncensored version and established Green's new identity as the harbinger of forward-thinking retro-soul. "Forget You" bubbles along on the trickster spirit of cognitive dissonance, its kiss-off to an unfaithful lover turning into an affirmation of self-love. The song cracked the Billboard Top 20, gave Green his first No. 1 hit in England, and set up "The Lady Killer" as one of the fall's major album releases. "It definitely has a silver lining," he said of the song's mix of bubbulous melody and nasty lyrics. "It's what the English would call 'tongue in cheek.' It's just meant to be funny, really." The single's modernized dooop sound is just one example of Green's time traveling on "The Lady Killer". Tracks like the bourbon-mellow "Old Fashioned" ("I'm right on time," sings Green, "and I'm timeless!") and the bouncy "Cry Baby" pull from gospel and Otis Redding-style grit. MOVIES Q&A with 'Harry Potter' antagonist Tom Felton MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Tom Felton has played Draco, son of Lucius (Jason Isaacs in the films), the Hogwarts bully, Slytherin slimeball and always in Harry's way during each phase of the wolf wizard quest We reached Felton, 23, a native of Surrey, England, an enthusiastic musician and established child actor ("The Borrower") FILM ETC before "Harry Potter" came along, in London. Q. What's been the most fun about Draco's journey? A. The last year or two, the last part of that journey, has been a joy. It's so nice to have established a character who grows from childish bully to scottish teen, and He's questioning his relationship with his father. He's petrified. Lord Voldemort has crashed his house, and believe you me, he does NOT make a pleasant houseguest. All that makes things him question who he is and why he is the way he is. then have the chance to explore, in the last films, why he's like that. Hopefully, after all the years of hate for poor Draco, he'll get a bit of empathy, now. FELTON A. Oh, we've been passionate about these films from the start. But we're giving it all we've got in these final ones, to make sure we go out with a bang. Q. There's an urgency to the performances in "Deathly Hallows: Part 1." A. The great thing I think we've all derived from these films is making a lot of people happy. I was at the premiere realizing how Q. What's been the best fringe benefit of being in the "Potter" films? fantastic it is to be able to make a child's day just by signing a piece of paper. We've brought something children love to life. That's our great reward. Q. So with the last "Harry Potter" film in the can, what do you have planned for the future? A. I'm launching an independent record label to put some of my stuff (search "Feltbeats" on YouTube). And I just finished "Rise of the Apes," a "Planet of the Apes" prequel, and I was down in New Orleans doing a part in this independent film about golf, "From the Rough." Did another one with Ashley Greene called "The Apparition." Q. You've been growing up on set, for a decade, with the cream of British acting. Who have you learned the most from? A A. They're all inspiring and if you watch them, you can't help but learn something. Jason Isaacs has been very helpful for me as a young actor. Darling, I am afraid you look more worn out than a college boy's drinking wrist on Sunday morning.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: A equals E MOVIES Films fight for revenue during Thanksgiving MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — The best Thanksgiving clash won't be over who has to sit at the kids' table. The more interesting battle is Hollywood's holiday weekend campaign to seize family and female moviegoers — without being undone by the leftovers of the penultimate "Harry Potter" film. Four movies will premiere in wide release on Wednesday, double the total from last Thanksgiving: Screen Gems' musical romance "Burlesque," 20th Century Fox's romantic dramedy "Love & Other Drugs." Disney's animated fairy tale "Tangled" and CBS Films' revenge thriller "Faster." Even though the studios are widely (and perhaps rightly) criticized for making few movies aimed at women, their Y-chromosome partiality is not obvious over next week's holiday break. "Burlesque," "Love & Other Drugs" and "Tangled" are all chasing women as their primary audience. Disney is betting that a lot of moms — and maybe a few dads — will bring their children to its animated retelling of the Rapunzel story. The only new entry aimed squarely at men and older boys is "Faster," an R-rated action film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "There was nothing going after this audience," Robert Teitel, a producer of "Faster," says of the decision to schedule the film as counterprogramming. CBS Films hopes that Johnson, a former professional wrestler who has recently been making kiddie fare such as "Tooth Fairy," "Race to Witch Mountain" and "The Game Plan," can recapture the patrons who attended his earlier, more violent works, including "The Rundown," "Walking Tall" and "The Scorpion King." "Dwayne has never looked better, and if he is going to come back in the format, you had to bring him back bad — he's on a total revenge path and nothing gets in the way to stop him," Teitel says. "You get behind his character right away." CBS Films, which has been advertising "Faster" on its sister broadcast network, hopes that women who took their children to Johnson's PG-rated family films and came to like the actor might turn out for this movie as well. Last summer, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed $158 million in its first five days, and $77.8 million in its first three-day weekend. More worrisome to the four new films is that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed $29.5 million in its second weekend.

EDITORIAL Indictments needed step toward justice With the resignations on Mark Mangino, Lew Perkins and Perkins Yesterday, however, it was in the spotlight. Four former KU Athletics officials and the current head of ticket operations at KU Athletics were indicted on charges related to the ticket scandal that took thousands of tickets off the market at a value of somewhere between $3 to $5 million Tom Blubaugh, Charlotte Blubaugh, Ben Kirtland, Rodney Jones and Kassie Liebsch were all indicted. Liebsch was the director of ticket operations, but resigned Thursday before the indictment came out. It is disturbing that an individual now charged with a federal crime was until yesterday in a position of leadership in KU Athletics. Defendants are innocent until proven guilty. We strongly believe this. Regardless of ultimate guilt or innocence, though, this scandal has already harmed the image of the University. KU Athletics does not operate in a bubble. Its actions reflect back on the entire community. That can be a good thing — such as winning a national championship — or it can be a very bad thing. The indictments are welcome.It's important that each of the individuals have his or her time in court.

X LAWS, MITTEE Nigel L. RANGER NICHOLAS SAMBULAK LETTER TO THE EDITOR Risk of superbug from vaccination misrepresented Monday's letter to the editor about vaccination unfairly represents the associated "risks." It claims that the flu shot can cause the virus to mutate into a sort of "super-bug," and while it's true that strains of the flu virus are constantly mutating, it's a process that has nothing to do with "access" to strains from a vaccine as claimed in the letter and can occur just as well in someone who hasn't had a flu shot. Bacteria can be expected to evolve a resistance to antibiotics. Hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial soap and sterilization of anything and everything will lead to resistant strains, forcing us to constantly develop new hand sanitizers, soaps and sterilizing wipes. However, the flu vaccine has no part in that cycle. The letter also suggests that the flu shot is only necessary for those who are particularly at risk, but when one able-bodied person gets immunized, they are reducing the chance that they will get the flue, but also the likelihood that they will transmit the virus to those without the shot. The flu shot is a safe, preventative method for reducing the impact of flu season, both for those who may experience the flu as only a mild inconvenience, and for those with a weakened immune system, for whom it can be a much more serious issue. Unfortunately, many people forego immunization each year due to needless worries such as the ones published in this letter to the editor, unfounded fears that we may be creating "bigger, badder viruses."

GUEST COLUMN Thanksgiving reminds Americans of history Most people associate Turkey Day with the landing of the Puritan Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620. It is a great image to see Europeans and Indians working together and coming together over a large feast. It is a great image for the early history of what would eventually become the United States. Though it helps to forget that within a hundred years, most of the Indian peoples in the area had been destroyed. Even though it's still almost a week away, Thanksgiving is a holiday of great importance to this nation and has a lot more history to it than people think. The day when Americans stuff their faces and get fat, at least more than they do on most days, is not just a holiday for eating. And it is not just a holiday for the pilgrims and Indians of Plymouth Rock. Both historically and traditionally, this holiday is one of the most meaningful. grims or Indians. Instead, it was a holiday proposed by President Abe Lincoln to encourage the American people to give thanks and increase national morale. It was also in part to help the Americans celebrate the victories the Union Army had won that year, especially the battles fought at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. But Hallmark images and Indian Wars aside, the actual history of the holiday is even more interesting and much more modern than people think. The holiday for giving thanks continued throughout the war and beyond, as people celebrated the return of the soldiers and the victory of the Union. As the years and decades went by, the holiday became more popular, especially when advertisements started to link Turkey Day to the pilgrims and the earlier days of the nation, something that the holiday originally had nothing to do with The tradition started, not in 1620, but in 1863 right in the middle of the American Civil War. And it had nothing to do with Pil- Now a days, Thanksgiving seems to be becoming the forgotten holiday, with stores and malls, and even radio stations, skipping it entirely, going from celebrating Halloween and straight through to The holiday changed very little after that, with the exception of a date change implemented by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930's to try and stimulate the economy, but besides that Thanksgiving remained much the same. Christmas. Some say it's because the holiday is not politically correct. There are even protests against it by Indian Rights groups who feel that Thanksgiving, along with holidays like Columbus Day, mark the beginning of the end of Indian culture and way of life. Others say it is not as popular because it cannot be commercialized. All you buy is food, that's it. No presents, no costumes, nothing that advertisers can really push, so they ignore it 14 This simply isn't right. Thanksgiving is important because it does focus on America's past. And not just Pilgrims and Indians, but the hard days of the Civil War and the Great Depression. No other major holiday focuses that much on our own national history. And we should love it more because it cannot be commercialized. It really is the holiday that brings family and friends together for a big dinner. Nothing superficial, just a fun time with good food. What's more American than that? From UWIRE. Brian Warrick for The BG News at Bowling Green State University. POLITICS Lame-duck Congress contains opportunities America is in a funk. This year's midterms served more a punching bag for voters than a referendum on politicians. The poll revealed that 41 percent approved of Republican policies, while 37 percent disapproved. Worse, only 22 percent thought the relationship between Democrats and Republicans would improve in the next term. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, voters are less enthused and more skeptical about this year's midterm results than in 2006, when Democrats took control of the house, and 1994, when Republicans took control of the house. The funk's bad. So bad, many people didn't even care enough to vote. In Lawrence, voter turnout was down by 20 to 60 percent in precincts closest to the University, which consists mostly of student housing. There was no "Rock Chalking" the vote. The doldrums of a slow recovery and the fear of an ever-rising deficit-mushroom-cloud have curbed America's resolve, replacing national ambition with national angst. Quite a change from the last election cycle. Two years ago, I went to the inauguration of Barack Obama. More than a million Americans descended on the nation's capital with hope, however naively, that a new day had arrived in Washington politics. The moment that hit me the hardest, the moment I will always carry with me, didn't happen during the swearing-in ceremony, however. It came two days before, during the "We Are One" concert. Right before John Mellencamp sang one of my favorite songs, "Pink Houses," Joe Biden took the stage and said, "Work is more than a paycheck. It's about dignity. It's about respect. It's about whether you can look your child in the eye and say 'Honey, it's going to be all right.'" Standing on historic ground, I thought about how America had triumphed over greater obstacles, how America survived a revolution, civil war and the civil rights era—times that truly threatened America's solvency. And at that moment, standing before the memorial of the Great Emancipator, I firmly believed our country would be OK despite the economic uncertainty that lay ahead.

But I can understand how the ballooning deficit and the recently outlined proposal made by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform would have some people on edge Sovereign debt crisis, anyone? Little good comes from fear and it's time to snap out of the funk. As a nation, our greatest achievements come when we believe and work toward ideas that are bigger than ourselves. And our prosperity and resolve have always stemmed from the collective backbone of the middle class. Once again, the middle class will be called upon, only this time, as the beast of burden for a balanced budget. Some of the proposals made by the bipartisan debt commission include increasing the retirement age, eliminating tax credits for families and raising the federal gasoline tax by.15 cents. Quick recap. The middle class will pay for the wars that they sent their children to fight in, they will pay for the greed of Wall Street barons with their jobs and houses and they will make the greatest sacrifices in order to balance the budget. I believe in the middle class. I know it will rise to the occasion and make the sacrifices needed to secure America's future. It's not right, but it's OK because middle-class America has the resolve to do so. As the song goes, "Cause the simple man, baby, pays for the thrills, the bills, the pills that kill." It just needs to get its swagger back. I only ask that the lame-duck Congress do that right thing and repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. It's time the rich pay their way, too.

Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com "A conservative ideology itself, however, is intrinsically greedy. If these people believed in their small government as much as they claim to, how come they always cut social programs for the middle class but never military budgets or the subsidies that go to their respective states? What do you expect from a party that calls Reagan the "father of conservation" when he sent the country into horrendous debt? And we're back to Reagan; full circle." —"xz007" in response to "Believe it or not, taxes benefit everyone" on Nov. 18.

NATIONAL HONOLULU — Groups and citizens in Guam have sued the U.S. military, alleging it violated federal environmental and historic preservation laws by choosing an ancient village as the site of a new live fire range. The Navy, in a decision announced in September, said it wants to build the training site at one of two sites in Pagat village. The range would be used by Marines due to move to the U.S. territory from Okinawa, Japan. Contributed Photo PETER AND JESSICA Guamanians sue over firing range The lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Honolulu said the Navy failed to adequately consider alternative locations that would have less of an impact OBITUARY on the environment and historic sites. It further alleged the Navy failed to adequately examine the environmental consequences of its actions. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific, whose senior officials are named as defendants in the suit, said it was unable to comment on ongoing litigation. The suit said archaeological studies date Pagat to A.D. 700, while traditional knowledge indicates the village was inhabited 3,000 years ago. The village has up to 20 sets of carved stone pedestals, called late, upon which the indigenous Chamorro people set buildings. Associated Press 'Not as many smiles around' as students remember friend BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com Once you met Matt, you were friends with him. And once you were friends, there was no going back - you would always be friends, Matt would always be there for you and, like it or not, when you saw him, you were always in for a treat. "He was the funniest guy I ever met. Whenever he was in the room, you didn't really have a choice, you were laughing," Todd Davidson, a graduate student from Tonganoxie, said. Matt was blunt, brutally honest and probably more than a little crass. But even that, friends said, was all part of the "Matt package" - the one goal he had for himself and the overwhelmingly dominant characteristic of his personality — the desire to make those around him feel good. "Matt was who youd call if you wanted to have fun, always," Phil Cole, a senior from Boston, said. That was until Tuesday, when, suddenly and painfully, Matt was gone Matt Adair, a former student from Topeka, was found dead in his off-campus apartment early Tuesday morning. The cause is presumed to be suicide. Now, Matt's myriad friends are living without their jokerest, struggling to grieve, and to live with the difficulty of the idea his death could have been prevented. "It's such a shame that he couldn't see how many people truly loved him," Carly Moon, a friend from high school, said in an e-mail. Adair had last been enrolled at the University in fall 2009, as an engineering major. He did not re-enroll in the spring, but took a job in Gardner to build up funds to return to school later, friends said. Eventually, he wanted to go into law enforcement. In life, he was the loveable guy who spoke his mind, cracked jokes and listened to his friends' stories. But he rarely talked about himself. "He had an amazing ability to make everyone feel better," Sean Kelly, a senior from Southborough, Mass., said. "And you knew you could call him at 4 in the morning just to get something off your chest, but you had to dig to get him to tell你 what was up with him." Friends and roommates such as Kelly said they're still in shock, but trying to process their grief by remembering Adair's infectious personality and wild antics, focusing on his life — not his death. "We're just trying to remember him in the fond light we knew him" Kelly said. Funeral services for Adair will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Westminster Presbyterian Church, at 1275 Southwest Boswell Ave. in Toneka. As friends continue to grieve their "favorite little hobo," the stories continue - of trying to drive a stick shift for the first time down Mass. Street, of late-night chats over beers, of their beloved brother, son, never-forgotten friend. And Matt's friends smile at their memories while knowing their big-hearted comedian-confidant won't be able to crack any more jokes. "I was late to get to know him, but, right away, he treated me the same way he did everyone else - he had me on the floor laughing," Davidson said. "I know now there's not going to be as many smiles around." NATIONAL 'Octomom'doctor testifies ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The fertility doctor for "Octomom" Nadya Suleman said Thursday she agreed to be implanted with 12 embryos and knew she was part of a study on fertility methods, disputing a prosecutor's assertion that Suleman was an unwitting human subject. The hearing became heated on its final day, as lawyers clashed over whether Suleman knew about the study conducted by Dr. Michael Kamrava while she was receiving in vitro treatments that produced all 14 of her children. Suleman is the mother of the longest living set of octuplets in history. She didn't testify at the licensing hearing but has acknowledged that her desire for a huge family led her to repeated in vitro treatments with Kamrava. Kamrava retook the witness stand ahead of closing arguments to answer questions about the study. Deputy Attorney General Judith Alvarado repeatedly asserted through questioning that Suleman could not have known that she was a test subject. Asked how Suleman knew about the study, Kamrava said, "She heard about it, we discussed it with her and she volunteered." Alvarado asked: "Where did she sign to say I'm a volunteer to be tested as a human guinea pig?" ing to revoke the doctor's license, alleging gross negligence in his treatment of Suleman and two other patients. Administrative Law Judge Daniel Juarez granted a request by Alvarado Thursday to add a charge of dishonest and corrupt acts to the accusations against Kamrava "Where did she sign to say I'm a volunteer to be tested as a human guinea pig?" referred to a consent form Suleman signed that listed risks of the fertility treatments, but no document identified in the hearing indicated she had specific knowledge of the study. JUDITH ALVARADO Deputy Attorney the state medical board is seek- Kamrava for allegedly failing to properly inform human test subjects. After closing argument s, Kamrava's lawyer Henry Fenton told reporters it was untrue that Suleman submitted to the study without her knowledge and "there's nothing experimental about it."

Coach Ray Bechard said the team needs to be aggressive. WWW.KANSAN.COM HOW MEAN ARE THE GREEN? Kansas to face North Texas BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com North Texas looks, at first glance, like easy fodder for Kansas to get its 62nd consecutive home victory, tying the school record. The Mean Green, by all the measurables, aren't in the same class as the Jayhawks. The best player on the North Texas roster, point guard Josh White, is listed at 5 feet 10 inches and 175 pounds, but stands about a couple inches shorter than that. North Texas is 129th in the country in field goal percentage. The Mean Green come from the Sun Belt conference. Add it all up to another easy win for Kansas, right? BUGGS 15 KANSAS 10 DELTA DE Wrong. Tuesday night, North Texas rode a 32-point night from White past the Big 12's Texas Tech in a 92-83 overtime win. "They played really well. They got a big win under their belt with Texas Tech," junior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. Junior forward Marcus Morris also is a little more tuned into the Mean Green after their big win. White, who through his career is averaging 18.6 points per game against Big 12 teams, is not the only player to watch on the North Texas roster, though. Senior power forward George Odufuwa is perhaps the best rebounder Markieff Morris and the Kansas frontcourt will face until conference play (although UCLA's Reeves Nelson is certainly in the discussion). Odufuwa is averaging 13 rebounds and has been excellent against Big 12 competition. He pulled down 15 boards against Texas Tech Tuesday and had a remarkable eight offensive rebounds against Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year. The layhawks will also have to keep an eye on shooting guard Tristan Thompson, who is averaging 18 points and four rebounds per game, and sixth man Dominique Johnson, who is averaging 16.5 points and leading the team with four assists per game. PAGE 1B With four players averaging double-figure scoring, the Mean Green are 15th in the country in points per game. Likely joining the Jayhawks on the floor for the first time this season is backup point guard Elijah Johnson, who missed the first two games because of what Self called "some off-the-court issues." Johnson has been missed most when Taylor rests, with Brady Morningstar forced into a point guard role that does not fit his style of play. "Hopefully, Elijah will be back," Self said Wednesday. "I think there's a really good chance. I'm meeting with some people today to make sure he's got some stuff done. I have every indication that he has, so I anticipate Elijah playing on Friday." "He's our emergency backup point guard right now," Self said. "He's handled it pretty well. He's not a point guard, though."

Senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson breaks free against Colorado Saturday. Twenty seniors will play their final name as Lafayette Saturday. "We were dealt a tough hand," senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson said at Tuesday's press conference. "This year didn't go the way we planned, but it's a building process and I'm sure everybody here enjoyed their senior year and their experience at Kansas." This season has been anything but easy, since the team opened with a loss to North Dakota State and started conference play with a four-game losing streak. The coaching change has been tough on everyone. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Like Wilson, many of the seniors began their careers with an Orange Bowl win in 2007. After a win of that magnitude, the last two seasons have been disappointing for the football program. Even this year, after a record-breaking victory against Colorado, Kansas had three final games staring them in the face: Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Missouri. All three are ranked in the top 15 and only one game is at home. The home game this weekend might be the most challenging, as the "Their offense is very, very explosive," coach Turner Gill said. "We're going to have a tough time to try and slow them down. That's what you're going to do because you can't stop them." Cowboys boast one of the nation's best offenses. Gill hopes to slow them down, but not many teams have been able to accomplish that feat this season. Therefore, the often stagnant Jayhawk offense will need to score frequently. The offense, led by junior quarterback Brandon Weeden and sophomore receiver Justin Blackmon, is second in the country in passing yards and third in scoring. Wilson has been the second option for Kansas quarterbacks this season, catching 33 passes for two touchdowns. The first option, junior cornerback Daymond Patterson, echoed Wilson's sentiments on the offense's need to step up this Saturday. "I get excited because we're going to need to keep up with them to stay in the game," Wilson told reporters Tuesday. "We're really looking to put up some points after last week," he said. "Not having a good game, we're looking to bounce back." Patterson will have another year in Lawrence to write his legacy as a Jayhawk. 4. "It's very much real for me," Quigley said on Tuesday. "Now, it's like two games and college is over for me. It's right around the corner and I've started to realize that so we'll see what happens." Beating Oklahoma State won't be easy. But then again, nothing has been easy for this Kansas team, especially for the seniors who experienced so much success early in their careers. A bowl game is officially out of the question, but a win or two against a couple of ranked teams could work wonders for the players returning next season. As for this year, Gill thanked the seniors for smoothing the coaching transition. "They accepted me," he said. "I would say from the beginning their eyes, heart and soul, they have given all of that. And that's all you can ask from a coach's perspective." Edited by Lisa Curran . COMMENTARY Stats show top recruits rarely lead to NCAA titles BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com thoughts that I couldn't get out of my head. First, I love recruiting talk. I love the optimism, love the hoopla, love the reveling in projections of glory and riches and NCAA titles. I am not alone in this. We are a culture that is as interested in projections as in results, desperate to know what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow. As signing week drew to a close earlier this week, there were a couple of It's why recruiting has grown from niche to front page news. it's why I and plenty of others were glued to the TV screen when LeBryan Nash pulled out a big, floppy, orange hat and committed to Oklahoma State. It's why I was watching when Quincy Miller and Deuce Bello announced "I will be taking my talents to Waco," one after the other, like mini-LeBrons with all the ego and a fraction of the world-altering talent. it's why I got hate mail when I wrote that, yes, on paper, Kansas State was the right preseason pick to win the Big 12 Conference. Exactly zero No. 1 recruits have ever won a national title. No recruit ranked in the top four ever has. Only two recruits ranked No. 5 have: Duke's Kyle Singler, who by no coincidence is also the only top five recruit to wait around until his junior season, and Charlie Villanueva, who out of the 70 top-10 recruits in Rivals' seven-year ranking history is the only one to win a title in his freshman year. But none of those things really matter. Of course recruiting does, but not nearly to the level it is hyped up to. Because we are such a culture of immediacy and impatience — and I count myself among that — we feel like we need to know 11 months in advance what some 17-year-old kid is going to do with the next one, two, three, four years of his life. It was with that basis in mind that I started to look into the world of recruiting. And the second idea that was lodged in my head all week was formed: It Doesn't. Matter. And I know Josh Selby was the top-ranked recruit in the country this year, and I know that Kansas fans will hammer me for this. But barring an NBA lockout that forces Selby to stay a second year in Lawrence, I don't see him competing for an NCAA title. Rivals.com is pretty widely regarded as the top recruiting analysis site out there, and with good reason. The sites rankings go back to the class of 2003 and not one No.1 overall recruit has stayed more than the required amount in college (2003-06 jumped from high school to the NBA; since then they've all stayed just one year). But while Rivals has a talent for predicting individual stardom, it's startling how rarely that translates to team glory. This isn't to say talent is not essential. It is. Of course. You have to have good players to win games. But it's not the guys ranked one through 15 that make up national-title winners. It's the guys ranked 15 through 100; guys like Marcus Morris (No. 29), Markieff Morris (No. 49), Travis Releford (No. 70), Tyshawn Taylor (No. 77), Thomas Robinson (No. 31), Jeff Withey (No. 36) and Elijah Johnson (No. 24). Those are the types of guys who win championships. Edited by Alex Tretbar --- 2B / SPORTS / FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "Look around the table. If you don't see a sucker, get up, because you're the sucker." Professional Gambler Amarillo Slim FACT OF THE DAY Seventeen Jayhawk football players were recognized on the Academic All-Big 12 Team. First team qualifiers have a GPA of 3.20 and higher. Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Before this year, what was the highest amount of Kansas football players recognized for this honor? A: 11 in 2007. — Kansas Athletics MORNING BREW Cam Newton,a lesson to coaches If you've seen even a split second of sports coverage the last few weeks, you know about Auburn's Cam Newton. He's the ultra-athletic quarterback of the Auburn Tiger offense, leading his team to a No. 2 ranking in the latest BCS standings. He's also a front runner for the Heisman Trophy. He also likes cash. Allegedly. According to an ESPN com report. Mississippi State booster Mike Bell received a text from Newton's father, Cecil, during his son's recruitment last year. Cecil allegedly wanted $180,000 for his son to play for Mississippi State. When coach Dan Mullen supposedly refused to pay Newton the recruitment was complete, and Cam eventually signed with Auburn. Whether Mississippi State refused to pay or Auburn simply had a bigger check waiting is still unclear. It's SEC football, anything is possible. What is clear, is that Auburn is on track to play for the national title and Cam Newton is almost certainly headed to New York City as a Heisman Trophy finalist. Great timing, isn't it? Mississippi State has supposedly known about these allegations since last November, but has stayed quiet until Auburn is a title contender 12 months later. KANSAS According to ESPN.com, "Bell said the reason he's providing details of the alleged scheme is because he wants to make sure everybody knows Mississippi State didn't break NCAA rules." BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpentar@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW Is Mississippi State now just bringing it up, to clear their name even though the NCAA supposedly had no clue of wrong-doings and there was no investigation at the time? Mississippi State didn't bring up these allegations to clear its name. They play in the SEC, where football rules everything and the coaches, for the most part, don't like each other. If they allegedly got outbid for a star recruit, they won't like it. And if said recruit is on his way to hoisting the trophy, any dirt they have will be thrown. And it has so far, even with the Florida Gators, Newton's former school. Reports surfaced last month that Newton cheated on multiple tests at Florida before transferring to a junior college in January 2009. Cheating on an algebra test two years ago isn't a huge deal, but thanks for playing Gators. The Bulldogs from Mississippi State are here to help you out. Apparently for Auburn $180,000 wasn't too much for a Heisman Trophy finalist and potential BCS National Championship (allegedly). That's if the NCAA doesn't find any more evidence before the BCS title game on January 11. And with the news less than a month old, this investigation is far from complete. It's extremely naive to think that every year certain big-time football recruits aren't getting a little cash under the table. But most coaches and programs are smart about it. They cover their tracks, especially in the SEC. And when you don't cover the paper trail, your conference rivals will be more than glad to call up the NCAA. My parting advice to Auburn coach Gene Chizik, who's very new to the SEC: If you're going to pay your quarterback more than a lot of your coaches, don't get caught.

The Jayhawks lost to the Bears 3-1. KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 9 **WHO:** Jayhawks vs. Longhorns **WHEN:** Today, 6:30 p.m. **WHERE:** Austin, Texas Kansas is just three games from the end of the regular season, and senior outside hitter Karina Garlington said the match was a must-win for the Jayhawks. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com "It's a do-or-die situation," she said. KU With just two days to prepare — instead of the usual three — the Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas for a rematch with the No. 8 Longhorns today. The Texas Longhorns are on a 12-match winning streak and have won 23 Big 12 Conference home games in a row. In their last meeting, Texas (20-5, 15-2 Big 12) swept Kansas (16-12, 7-10 Big 12) in Lawrence. On Wednesday, the Longhorns swept the Missouri Tigers while Kansas dropped a four-setter to the Baylor Bears at home. Kansas lost to Baylor at home, despite out-digging Baylor's No. 2 ranked defense. Freshman libero Brianne Riley recorded 21 digs, reaching double-digits for the third-straight match. Junior setter Nicole Tate contributed 12 digs and senior defensive specialist Melissa Manda added 11. The Jayhawks put together a total of 71 digs in the match compared to Baylor's 69. Longhorn senior outside hitter Juliann Faucette led the Texas offense Wednesday with 16 kills and a .324 hitting efficiency, adding 10 digs for her 19th career double-double. Junior middle blocker Rachael Adams and junior outside hitter Amber Roberson rounded out the offense with 11 and nine kills, respectively. Roberson averaged a .714 hitting efficiency in the match. The layhawks also out-blocked the Bears 13-11. Redshirt freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc alone recorded a seasonhigh nine blocks, including three solo rejections. Garlington and senior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser led the Jayhawks' offense with 12 kills each, and junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield added 11 and two service aces. Despite all that, and winning the first set 25-23, the Jayhawks ran into big trouble starting in the second set. Kansas was plagued by errors, a problem that only grew worse in the next three sets. In the third set, the Jayhawks took an 18-13 lead only to see it disappear after a string of mishaps that gave Baylor the lead. Kansas managed to tie the set at 22-22, but Baylor won 25-23. The fourth set was even worse, as Baylor hit a match-high .500 hitting efficiency while Kansas dropped to -.037. Baylor won set 25-12 to end the contest. Kaiser said serving aggressively would be important to the Jayhawks on Friday, a sentiment echoed by the coach Ray Bechard. "We've still got to be aggressive. We can't get tentative," Bechard said. He said it was hard for the attackers to continue taking big swings after missing and having shots go out of bounds. "That's a tough combination, but that's what we'll have to do," he said.

MIKE GUNDY Coach lead the Big 12 South with only games against Kansas and No. 16 Oklahoma left in the regular sea- Gundy set out after last season to find an coordinator who he considered a great play-caller and someone who could bring in a system that would be attractive to recruits. He was able to land Holgorsen, who had been a part of offenses that were in the top six in the nation each of the past eight years. Holgorsen's success in Year 1 at Oklahoma State comes without the opportunity to load up the roster with players who fit his system. He inherited a group of unproven receivers and has seen Justin Blackmon turn into the nation's top receiver for Bowl Subdivision passing leader Brandon Weeden. "You would eventually like for this offense to evolve where you get some more skill guys to play in here on the perimeter and then just keep going." Gundy said. "You don't ever take your foot off the gas pedal. Just let her rip." MLB Seattle's Hernandez wins pitching award SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez consistently proved the lone standard of excellence in an otherwise miserable Mariners season. And Wednesday, with the franchise still reeling over 101 losses and the death last week of Hall of Fame broadcaster Dave Niehaus, the 24-year-old Hernandez once again provided a rare glimpse out of the darkness. Hernandez captured just the second American League Cy Young Award for the Mariners on Thursday, beating out rivals C.C. Sabathia of the New York Yankees and David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays in voting conducted by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Hernandez received 21 first-place votes and 167 ballot points. Price of Tampa Bay was second "It is a very emotional day for me," said Hernandez in a statement released by the Mariners. "I'm very proud that I was able to accomplish this not only for myself, but for my family, my country and my team. I don't have the words to describe the way I feel." with 111 points (four first-place votes), and Sabathia was third with 102 points (three first-place votes). Two BBWAA members from each of the 14 American-League cities cast votes. Hernandez's win could provide a historic shift in the emphasis Cy Young voters place on wins by a pitcher. The 13 wins by Hernandez sets a new low for a Cy Young winner, trumping the 15 by Tim Lincecum of the Giants in the National League race last season. Instead, voters focused on Hernandez's league-best 2.27 earned-run average and 2492/3 innings pitched. He was also second in the league with six complete games and 232 strikeouts. McClatchy-Tribune CROSS COUNTRY KANSAS BOB TIMMON 206 CLASSIC Jeff Jacobson/KU ATHLETICS INC. Donny Wasinger, the captain of the cross country team, was chosen by the NCAA to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA championship. Wasinger earns spot in Nationals BY LAUREN NEWMAN lnewman@kansan.com Monday is a day that junior captain Donny Wasinger has been waiting for his whole cross country career. That day is the NCAA National Championship that will be held in Terre Haute, Ind., which Wasinger will individually compete in. The NCAA offered Wasinger an automatic bid to the championship. The NCAA take the top two teams from NCAA Midwest Regional Championship and those athletes automatically go on to NCAA Nationals. The top four individual runners who are not on the qualifying teams go on to Nationals as well. Wasinger, who placed 10th at the Midwest Regional Championship, was the fourth individual selected. This is a huge accomplishment since it has been four years since a KU male has qualified for the NCAA Championship. Wasinger first tried out for cross country in eighth grade because he was too small for football and would have to stand on the sidelines. He joined cross country because everyone competes. The people in his life that believe in him, such as his parents and coaches, are what motivate him. Being a captain on the team has put Wasinger in a leadership role that he highly values. He feels that the team has made lots of improvements from last season and especially feels that senior Nick Caprario stepped it up as he took on the role of being the men's team No. 2 runner. As a team they had higher hopes, and Wasinger wished the team could have competed as a whole in Nationals. Factors that hindered the success of the men's team came from junior Zach Zarda's injury early on and some injuries from freshmen that took place at the end of the season. As for next year Wasinger feels that the team will be more prepared and ready for the season. "It's definitely a confidence boost being able to go on to Nationals," Wasinger said. "Afterwards I just plan to roll on to the next season and stay healthy."

NOVEMBER 19. 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM NBA Spurs defeat the Bulls to nab eighth straight victory ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker scored 21 points, hours after his Hollywood actress wife filed for divorce, to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 103-94 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The Spurs won their eighth straight and improved to 9-1, tying a franchise-best start that even Tim Duncan never saw during any of the four championship runs for the Spurs. But when Parker arrived at the arena, none of that seemed to matter. Actress Eva Longoria filed court papers in Los Angeles earlier Wednesday to divorce Parker, strong irreconcilable differences between the "Desperate Housewives" star and the point guard. A swarm of media before the game waited for Parker, who called the divorce a private matter. Derrick Rose scored 33 points for the Bulls, whose win streak ended at four. Parker was 9 of 14 from the floor and had seven assists, and when the never smiled. Spurs emptied their bench with 22.2 seconds left, fans treated the three-time All-Star to a standing ovation. He seldom did from the time he showed up at AT&T Center, where his night began with a brief but uncomfortable session with a swarm of reporters crowding the hallway outside the Spurs' locker room. It was only hours earlier that Longoria had filed for divorce, ending a celebrity marriage that began with a storybook wedding in Paris in 2007. "It's a difficult time right now for me and Eva," Parker said before the game. "We got a joint statement and everything else is our private life." The Spurs trailed 47-37 at halftime but stunned the Bulls with a 37-point third quarter in which San Antonio shot 71 percent. Meanwhile, Chicago missed six of 23 shots and scored just 12 points, a season low for any quarter. "It's a difficult time right now for me and Eva. We got a joint statement and everything else is our private life." Manu Ginobili scored 20 points Parker kept his head down and TONY PARKER San Antonio point guard and Duncan had 16 points and 18 rebounds for the Spurs, who last opened 9-1 in 1981 during the George Gervin era. points and 14 rebounds. Parker and Longoria's split made for an usually frenzied atmosphere around the Spurs, whose teams under coach Gregg Popovich have largely enjoyed insularity and few off-the-court distractions. When Parker emerged from the locker room to meet reporters, he succinctly answered three questions before a team official ended the interview. Asked about speculation that Parker might have been involved with the wife of a former Spurs teammate, Parker replied: "That's my private life." Longoria often attended her husband's games when not filming — making for a rare courtside celebrity sighting at AT&T Center. When Parker signed a four-year, $50 million extension with the Spurs last month, the 28-year-old spoke as though staying in San Antonio was as important to Longoria as it was to him. Popovich said during a morning shootaround that his star point guard getting a divorce — during what has so far been one of the best early starts in Parker's career — wouldn't be a distraction. Popovich then addressed the situation one more time before the game. "This is a difficult situation for everyone, obviously," Popovich said. "Eva and Tony are two people that we love and care about. We wish them both the best as they move through this." Longoria, 35, did not indicate in the court filings when the couple broke up. They have no children together, and Longoria has one previous marriage.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL Kansas State narrowly avoids upset to Blue Hose ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State coach Frank Martin let his players know there are consequences for poor efforts on the court. SATE 0 Jacob Pullen scored 15 points, and No.3 Kansas State struggled for a 76-67 victory over overmatched Presbyterian on Thursday night. What was supposed to be an easy game before playing No. 11 Gonzaga on Monday and then either No. 1 Duke or Marquette on Tuesday, turned out to be a tough test for Kansas State. "I told the guys after the game I hope they have a good social life," Martin said. "Because I'm getting ready to ruin it." Up 14 at the half, Kansas State (3.0) couldn't shake Presbyterian, which lost its opener by 41 points to Vanderbilt. Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen shoots against Presbyterian. Pullen had 15 of his team's 76 points "Today, you saw the ugly head of youth and lack of leadership," Martin said. "Presbyterian deserved to win. They played their hearts out. We didn't." The Blue Hose (0-2) opened the half with 13-7 run, six of the points coming from Josh Johnson, and then kept chipping away. Jake Troyli and Khalid Mutakbir hit 3-point shots to cut the Wildcats' lead to 63-60 with 9:35 to play. We were just going through the motions, "Pullen said. ASSOCIATED PRESS It was 69-65 with 2:30 remaining before K-State's Jamar Samuels tipped in Martavious Irving's miss. When the Wildcats' Rodney Magruder sank a baseline 3-poow inter with 51 seconds remaining to make it 74-65, the home crowd could finally relax. "It was definitively awesome," Presbyterian coach Gregg Nibert said. "I told our guys, even after "Presbyterian deserved to win. They played their hearts out. We didn't." and that helped give us a chance." Presbyterian was led by Al'Lonzo Vanderbilt, we are a defensive tough-minded team. We put them in the zone, and I tell you, we can be tough in the zone. I think we matched their tough-mindedness, FRANK MARTIN Kansas State coach Magruder finished with 13 points while teammates Jamar Samuels, Irving and Wally Judge each had 10. 14 rebounds. The Blue Hose stayed close despite committing 14 more turnovers by shooting 50 per cent from the floor and making nine of 15 three-point attempts. for the first 12 minutes. Johnson and Mutakabbir hit consecutive three-pointers for a 6-5 Blue Hose lead. Even after K-State scored seven straight for a 23-13 lead, Presbyterian's Pierre Miller drove the baseline for a basket and then saak his second three-pointer, cutting the Wildcats' lead to 23-18 with 7:59 remaining in the half. Presbyterian used solid perimeter shooting to stay in the game Martin called a timeout and the Wildcats responded with a 13-4 run that featured four interior baskets.

Williams and Millsap lead Jazz in balanced victory NBA ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — Deron Williams scored 23 points and dished out eight assists, Paul Millsap had 19 points, 15 rebounds and four assists and the Utah Jazz used balanced scoring and an efficient fast break to beat the New Jersey Nets 98-88 on Wednesday night. All five Jazz starters were in double figures by early in the third quarter, with Al Jefferson adding 16 points and Andrei Kirilenko 15. Raja Bell, back after missing one game with a groin injury, also scored 15 for Utah (8-4), including a key basket with two minutes remaining. that . put Utah ahead 93-86. Anthony Morrow scored 24 points, Devin Harris added 19 and Brook Lopez 17 for New Jersey, which had a 57-44 advantage on the boards. On a night when neither team shot the ball very well, the Jazz did a better job of pushing it up the court. Utah, which was just 1 of 12 from three-point range, at one point held a 20-3 advantage on the break. The Jazz also blocked 10 shots. had grabbed yet another offensive rebound, but was called for an offensive foul, and he fouled out with 3:32 remaining. Utah led 53-47 at halftime, and by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter before the Nets (4-7) stormed back and pulled within five. But it was the return of Bell that provided a spark. He played solid defense, something that was missing in Utah's loss to Oklahoma City on Monday night. Utah lost one of its players earlier in the game when reserve C.J. Miles left midway through the second quarter with a back strain.

NBA Stoudemire, Gallinari score 27 as Knicks break six-game skid ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Amare Stoudemire and Danilo Gallinari each scored 27 points to help the New York Knicks overcome a slow shooting start to snap a six-game losing streak with a 113-106 victory over the Kings on Wednesday night. Raymond Felton added 16 points for the Knicks, who were the stronger team down 29th in 38 attempts since late in the first quarter — a 76 percent shooting clip that exposed Sacramento's defensive woes this season. Little-used Donte Greene then sparked a 9-0 run with a 3-pointer in just his third game since starting the season opener "Presbyterian deserved to win. They played their hearts out. We didn't." FRANK MARTIN Kansas State coach the stretch despite playing for the second straight night. It was another rough game for the young Kings, who gave the Knicks far too many open looks and easy points at the foul line in losing their sixth straight overall and fifth in a row at home. After trailing by 15 points early, the Knicks went on a torrid shooting spree to take a 93-81 lead early in the fourth on a long jumper by Toney Douglas. That basket was New York's as the Kings closed to 93- 90. A dunk by Carl Landry made it a two-point game, but the Knicks responded with a 9-2 run capped by an emphatic one-handed dunk by Stou demire Beno Udrih then scored five quick points for the Kings. But Felton hit a jumper and Tyreke Evans missed a shot and turned the ball over to end Sacramento's hopes at a comeback. Evans scored 23 points to lead the Kings. Landry added 21 and Udhrí scored 18. Both teams jugged their lineups in hopes of snapping their skids with the Kings starting Luther Head and Jason Thompson in place of Udrih and Omri Casspi, and the Knicks going with Ronny Turiaf instead of Timofey Mozgaf. "When you lose five in a row, it's not a bad thing to shake things up" Kings coach Paul Westphal said of his switch to a more defensive lineup before the game. The moves appeared to pay off for the Kings early, or it could have just been the effects of the Knicks playing a night after losing in Denver. New York opened the game shooting 3 for 21 and fell behind by 15 points in the final minute of the first quarter. But the Knicks quickly found their stroke after that, hitting 14 of 17 shots in the second quarter. They took the lead with a 17-2 run early in the second, capped by a 3-pointer by Douglas. The Knicks led 54-49 at the break — the 10th straight game this season Sacramento has trailed at the half. NFL Injury-plagued Miami Dolphins overwhelmed by Chicago Bears ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — The Chicago Bears had a ready response for Brandon Marshall's taunting. Julius Peppers and a swarming defense allowed only 187 yards and a single third-down conversion Thursday night, and the Bears won 16-0 to send the injury-ravaged Miami Dolphins to their second home shutout in 40 years. Marshall drew an early flag for taunting when he flipped the ball at former Denver teammate Jay Cutler, standing in front of the Bears bench. "We don't need that to fire us up," Chicago coach Lovie Smith said. "We were fired up when we stepped on the field." Marshall also was penalized Miami's already depleted offensive line lost center Cory Procter with a left knee injury. And with third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen taking six sacks in his first NFL start since 2008, the Dolphins were no match for a Bears defense that took over the NFL lead in points allowed per game. for an illegal block and dropped two passes before he left the game in the second quarter after aggravating a sore right hamstring.

The company's statement said if Four Loko was unsafe, the Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the federal bureau that approves alcoholic beverages, should not have approved the products. Nationally, Four Loko isn't the only drink causing worry. HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY Health officials have raised concerns about mixing caffeine and alcohol. Jenny McKee, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that mixing the two can lead to problems. The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it was warning four companies that produce caffeinated, alcoholic beverages that their products are unsafe. The FDA has been examining these products since November 2009 and concluded that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive." Caffeine is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. The two have opposite effects. Alcohol slows down bodily functions like heart rate and breathing while caffeine increases heart rate and alertness. The combination could potentially be heart stopping, McKee said. t for the another content of the students ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent. According to blood-alcoholcontent.org, a BAC level of 0.40 can be lethal for more than half of adults. Following these incidents, several states made moves to ban the drink. Lawmakers in New York City and Pennsylvania started asking liquor stores to remove Four Loko from their shelves. The beverage has been officially banned in four states: Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma. Freda Warfield, a spokesperson for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said the state had been monitoring Four Loko closely. "We will take any actions necessary to keep our Kansas safe," Warfield said. Mike Hathaway, manager of Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., said he expects a spike in sales as a result of Four Loko going decaf. However, in order to ban the drink in Kansas, legislation would need to be passed. The Kansas Legislature reconvenes January 11. REACTION McKee said the drinks could pose health risks even if they do not contain caffeine. She said that some people still might not understand how much alcohol the drinks have, especially Four Loko. "If it has three to four drinks, spend three to four hours sipping on it," she said. "I suspect that sales will go through the roof here until they're all gone." he said. Brad Wandell, a junior from Ellicott City, Md., said he's surprised by the controversy.

The Tiger defense forced four turnovers and scored a touchdown to lighten the load for the offense. Missouri recovered three fumbles and grabbed an interception as well as posting four sacks. Each of the fumble takeaways came at key moments in the game. Junior defensive lineman Jacquies Smith came up with a fumble recovery in the third quarter after sophomore defensive end Aldon Smith drilled senior quarterback Carson Coffman to force it loose. Jacquies Smith scooped and scored on a 53-yard fumble return. After the defense faltered a few times in the first half, Aldon Smith needed to make a play for his team. Gabbert had 297 all-purpose yards with 89 rushing yards and a season-long 32-yard rushing touchdown. The team leader threw for two more touchdowns with 208 yards on 17-of-25 passing. --- Tough losses in the past two weeks put Missouri at 1-2 on the road. But its games played at Faurot Field are a different story, with this win making them undefeated (5-0) at home this year. Coach Gary Pinkel boasts a handful of perfect home records in his tenure with Missouri, but this is his first since the 2007 season. Saturday's victory also marked the last game inside Memorial Stadium for the class of seniors. Senior center Tim Barnes is a three-year starter and a member of the 2011 graduating class. The anchor of the offensive line grew very close with the Missouri coaching staff in his time here. "They're like your parents there for five years," Barnes said. "It's really special.

ASSOCIATED PRESS BUTLER 13 A P 28 Jay Finley rushed for 172 yards, becoming the seventh Bear to reach 1,000 yards in a single season, but his and the rest of the team's 503 yards of total offense were not enough. Baylor running back Jay Finley is upended by Texas A&M defender Dustin Haines in the first half on Saturday. Just before halftime, coach Art Briles said, was when the momentum shifted toward the Aggies. While everything seemed to work for the Bears in the first half, a reversal of fortune and a revived Texas A&M offense led to the final score. With Baylor ahead 30-21 and five seconds left in the half, Aaron Jones' 41-yard field goal was blocked and scooped up by Texas A&M's Terrance Frederick. Fortunately for Baylor, redshirt freshman Brody Trahan stopped Frederick a year short of the goal line. Unfortunately for Briles' squad, it was a sign of things to come in the second half. Jones missed two more field goals, one with Baylor holding a 30-21 lead and another when his team faced a 35-30 deficit. The missed field goals were the only times the Bears came close to the red zone in the second half, the two drives leading to the miscegen field goal. Kiss listed a combined 26 plays and five minutes. They accounted for 127 yards, 10 fewer than Baylor's entire second half offensive total. The Aggies took the lead for good after a Baylor punt deep in its own territory and a kick-catch interference call brought the ball to the 27-yard line. Two Cyrus Grey rushes later, Texas A&M was ahead. In the other second half drives, two pints and two turnovers told the rest of the story on a disappointing night for the green and gold faithful. fourth-and-5 inside Bavlor territory. "We knew we were going to have to come in and dink and dunk with coverage they were going to play against us. We moved the ball at times in the second half, but we just couldn't punch it in," sophomore quarterback Robert Griffin ill said. Meanwhile Griffin and Finley kept their legs churning, combining for 126 rush yards in the first quarter. Griffin ignited the crowd for Baylor's second score, a 71-yard dash up the middle that gave his team a 10-0 advantage. "We knew we were going to have to come in and dink and dunk with coverage they were going to play against us." Early in the game, Texas A&M gave Baylor opportunities to build a commanding lead. The Aggies started with a three-and-out, leading to Jones' only field goal of the game, and the ensuing Aggins drive stalled on a Texas &M helped Baylor again with a fumble on its own 26-yard line, which the Bearrs ROBERT GRIFFIN sophomore quarterback turned into a 17-7 lead on Finley's 1-yard dive up the middle. Another Baylor special teams blunder led to Texas A&M pulling to within 24-14, as junior Coryell Judie returned the ensuing kickoff 84 yards for his second touchdown return in as many games Finley later scored on another 1-yarder, giving his team a 24-14 advantage, but his biggest run of the night was yet to come. Midway through the second quarter he burst through a hole for 69-yards and a 30-14 Baylor advantage following Jones' missed extra point. From that point, Baylor would not score again, and Jones would not see another of his kicks sail through the uprights. "It hurts bad. Speechless, honestly. For me and the seniors, that's something we took a lot of pride in. We wanted to go 2-2 against these guys, and we didn't. It hurts," senior safety Tim Atchison said. Oklahoma State STATE 92 COWBOYS 88 TEXAS 2 ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA State's Isaiah Anderson tries to hang on to a pass as Texas' Carrington Bynom defends during the third quarter on Saturday. OSU coach picks up first win against Texas By Danilynn Weliniak The Daily O'Colleague For the first time since 1944, the Cowboys strutted out of Royal-Memorial Stadium victorious. Saturday night marked coach Mike Gundy's first win against Texas and OSU's third in history. The Cowboys' defense performed the best during the second and third quarters. In the second, it held Texas to 53 total yards and three first downs, allowing the Cowboys to distance themselves and build a 23-point lead heading into the break. "We played our responsibilities and our assignments," sophomore cornerback Brodrick Brown said. "We forced some turnovers and forced them to come out of the pocket and run." The defense made its presence known in the third quarter. It forced three straight Longhorn punts, sending the Cowboys confidently into the fourth quarter with a 33-3 lead. During the past three games, the Cowboys' defense has significantly developed. A defense that previously gave up 51 points to Nebraska, gave up only 16 to the Longhorns. Defensive coordinator Bill Young gave credit to the players' ability to keep Gilbert from making big plays; a significant growth from their performance against Nebraska. The players are seeing something bigger happening than just their increased experience paying dividends. OSU forced two turnovers, forced six punts and held the Longhorns to 358 total yards and Gilbert to 202 passing yards. "This is my second year and seeing the bond and the unity, just the brotherhood that we've formed and all of us believing as one," said McGee. The defense may have messed with Texas but they realize this game is just the beginning. "We have two of the biggest games of our lives ahead of us so we just want to attack that this week and focus and prepare and finish," senior cornerback Andrew McGee said.

Jenny McKee, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that mixing the two can lead to problems. The FDA has been examining these products since November 2009 and concluded that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive." The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it was warning four companies that produce caffeinated, alcoholic beverages that their products are unsafe. Four Loko is sold in a 23.5 ounce can, has an alcohol content of 12 percent by volume and contains 135 milligrams of caffeine. That's the same amount of alcohol in four to five beers and the caffeine content of a Red Bull and an espresso shot. Caffeine is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. The two have opposite effects. However, the company's founders still aren't convinced their product is unsafe for consumers. Alcohol slows down bodily functions like heart rate and breathing while caffeine increases heart rate and alertness. The combination could potentially be heart stopping, McKee said. The company's statement said if Four Loko was unsafe, the Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the federal bureau that approves alcoholic beverages, should not have approved the products. "If it were unsafe, popular drinks like rum and colas or Irish coffees that have been consumed safely and responsibly for years would face the same scrutiny that our products have recently faced," the founders said in a statement on their website. THE WAVE NOVEMBER 19,2010 alcohol content of the students ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent. According to blood-alcoholcontent.org, a BAC level of 0.40 can be lethal for more than half of adults. Following these incidents, several states made moves to ban the drink. Lawmakers in New York City and Pennsylvania started asking liquor stores to remove Four Loko from their shelves. The beverage has been officially banned in four states: Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma. Mckee said the drinks could pose health risks even if they do not contain caffeine. She said that some people still might not understand how much alcohol the drinks have, especially Four Loko. REACTION Freda Warfield, a spokesperson for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said the state had been monitoring Four Loko closely. Mike Hathaway, manager of Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., said he expects a spike in sales as a result of Four Loko going decaf. However, in order to ban the drink in Kansas, legislation would need to be passed. The Kansas Legislature reconvenes January 11. "If it has three to four drinks, spend three to four hours sipping on it," she said. "We will take any actions necessary to keep our Kansas safe," Warfield said. irstand, seeing use who in close t for the A problem, McKee said, is that one container isn't one drink.

Aggie win over Bears By Kyle Cunningham The Battalion With 30 points allowed in the first half, the Texas A&M defense looked like the 2008 version that then=true freshman Robert Griffin torched for 297 total yards en route to a 41-21 victory for Art Briles and his Baylor Bears. In one half, the Bears totaled 367 yards. By comparison, the Oklahoma Sooners finished last week's contest with 362. Then, in an instant, the light switch went on for the defense that drew comparisons to the Wrecking Crew just the Saturday before, pushing A&M to a 42-30 victory over the Bears in Waco. Zero points, 136 yards, nine first downs. And on two fourth down attempts, the Bears were shut down twice. Although Sherman wouldn't anoint the defense Wrecking Crew Round Two, he did admit that the Aggies made some bone-jarring hits reminiscent of the early-mid '90s defenses. Near the end of the third quarter with the Aggies up 35-30, Griffin looked to connect with freshman cornerback/wide receiver Tevin Reese on 3rd-and-9. Reese came through, made the catch, but was separated from football when junior cornerback Lionel Smith torpeded his body into the receiver. I Griffin, who went 17-21 passing in the first half without being brought down for a sack, was made mortal by the Aggie defense. Griffin went 11-17 in the second half to end the day 28-38, and the sacks? A&M accumulated four in the final two quarters. As the Baylor offense spun its wheels, the Aggie offense was able to score 28 unanswered points, leaving its rival in the dust in the 107th Battle of the Brazos. "It is always frustrating [not to score]." Briles said. It was a tale of two defenses at Floyd Casey Stadium; when it mattered, the defense shut out Baylor, and played like an A&M team from farther back than 2008. Iowa State COLORADO 5 45 ASSOCIATED PRESS Colorado's Rodney Stewart looks for running room against Iowa State in the second quarter of an NCAA college football game in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday. Colorado earns first Big 12 win against Iowa State By David Merrill Iowa State Daily THE WAVE NOVEMBER 19,2010 Iowa State lost to Colorado on Saturday 14-34. Colorado earned its first Big 12 win on the strength of strong performances from running back Rodney Stewart and quarterback Cody Hawkins. Stewart rushed 36 times for 123 yards while Hawkins was 16-of-24 for 266 yards and three touchdowns. defense responded with a flurry of missed reads and sloppy tackling. Linebacker Jake Knott was the lone bright spot for the Cyclones on defense. He finished the game with a career-high 16 tackles. This was Knott's seventh game of the season in which he has recorded 10 tackles or more. Running back Alexander Robinson recorded just 22 yards on nine carries. He did manage to score to put the Cyclones up 7-3 in the first quarter, but it didn't last long. With just less than 12 minutes left in the second quarter, cornerback Arthur Jafee returned an ISU kickoff 89 yards down to the Cyclone's 9-yard line. The kick return set up a 9-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ryan Deehan. The touchdown gave the Buffaloes a 10-7 lead, and they didn't look back. While the passing stats for quarterback Austen Arnaud — 15-of-23 for 136 yards — don't look terrible, he was sacked five times. Arnaud would eventually leave the game with a season-end knee injury. Offensively, the Cyclones didn't get any momentum going until late in the fourth quarter. Iowa State's offensive line gave up eight sacks to one of the Big 12's worst defenses. The Buffalo offensive line opened up holes for Stewart to run through all the game. The ISU Both teams were sloppy throughout the game. Iowa State had nine penalties for 70 yards and the Buffaloes recorded 94 penalty yards on 10 flags. Head coach Paul Rhoads said he told his team that Colorado was going to start the game with a high energy level and that there were going to be points of adversity and momentum changes during the game. He feels his team didn't do a very good job of responding to adversity. Safety Michael O'Connell and the Cyclones have one game left to give the team a chance to play in a bowl game this season when they host Missouri. The mistakes the Cyclones made against Colorado can't be repeated if that is going to happen. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Can foul trouble? With Jeff Withey healthy, this is less of a concern than it was in the preseason, but when Markieff Morris had to sit with two early fouls against Valparaiso, it made frontcourt depth an issue for the rest of the first half. There aren't enough bodies in the Jayhawk frontcourt to withstand serious foul trouble, and the Mean Green led the nation in free throws made per game last season. If two of the Jayhawks bigs get into foul trouble, Mario Little could be forced to spend some time in the frontcourt, which offers opponents a size mismatch in their favor. Morris --- HEARYE, HEARYE "I never expect to lose here. This is the best home-court advantage in the country. Coming in here and getting those chills before the game, I definitely don't expect to lose here." Markieff Morris, junior center Robinson Markieff has unquestionably established himself as the best rebounder on this Jayhawks team (with an honorable mention to Thomas Robinson off the bench). His 14 boards per game are just one shy of what Marcus and Robinson are averaging combined. Markieff played just five minutes and pulled down three boards in the first half against Valparaiso because of foul trouble, but had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the second half alone. ★★★☆ SIXTH MAN Thomas Robinson, sophomore forward Robinson is getting almost as many minutes as the starters (or more, in the case of Releford) with 20 per game. It's hard for Self to keep him off the floor, as he has the ability to be a double-double player, even off the bench. Self has taken to playing both Morris twins and Robinson at the same time, creating size mismatches at the three and four against most teams. Robinson gets a fourth star for the first time. Thomas Robinson, sophomore forward Odufuwa was named to the Sun Belt's preseason All First-Team. He is currently averaging 10.5 points and 13 rebounds per game. He is averaging 35 minutes per game as well. A season ago, Odufuwa averaged 11.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He started 32 of North Texas' 33 games. George Odufuwa, senior forward Marcus Morris Odufuwa ★★☆★★ ★★★★ SIXTH MAN Dominique Johnson, senior guard Johnson is averaging 16.5 points off the bench this season in 31 minutes. Johnson may crack the starting lineup if his play continues. However, having two 5-foot-10 guards in the lineup makes the Mean Green very small in the frontcourt. Johnson is North Texas' best three-point shooter. He is currently 8-13 on the season. He was one of four players to average double figures (11 ppg) last season. lakeson Tim Dwyer ★★★☆☆ compared with North Texas. The Mean Green caught the attention of the Jayhawks last season when both teams played in Oklahoma City for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. North Texas lost to Kansas State 82-62. The Mean Green entered the tournament with an 11-game winning streak, but had it snapped by the Wildcats. North Texas hung with Kansas State for the first 10 minutes until Kansas State pulled away. The games against Texas Tech regained Kansas' attention if it was lost during the NCAA Tournament. Mike Lavieri HEARYE, HEARYE "He was truly a pioneer at North Texas because he showed that you could have success here. His willingness to share his experiences helped in my transition to North Texas. I have fond memories of him, and he will be sorely missed." — North Texas coach Johnny Jones on legendary Mean Green coach Bill Blakeley, who passed away on Oct 26, according to a news release.

NEW YORK, NY 10022 Texas Tech 'Inefficiency' by Tech hinders play ASSOCIATED PRESS By Jose Rodriguez The Daily Toreador Oklahoma beat Texas Tech on Saturday 45-7. Oklahoma running back Roy Finch gets away from a tackle by 'xenas Tech's Franklin Mitchet and takes the ball in for a touchdown in the first quarter in Saturday's game. SOONERS 20 No. 16 Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2 in Big 12 Conference play) capped off its opening drive with a pass from Landry Jones to tailback Demarco Murray, the school's all-time leader in touchdowns, to take a 7-0 lead at the 12:27 mark in the first quarter. During that opening drive, Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles made his 223rd reception, giving the Norman, Okla., native sole possession of first place on the Sooners all-time receptions list. Broyles would later make his 91st catch of the season, breaking his own single-season reception record, which he set last year. The Red Raiders took some chances early on in order to establish the offense. Tech quarterback Taylor Potts completed his first pass of the afternoon to receiver Austin Zouzalik, who turned a short route into a 35-yard gain, providing Tech's offense with 1-and-10 at the Oklahoma 29-yard line. By game's end, Broyles had either broken or tied five school records. But there was still a game to be played. Tech (5-5, 3-5), although not indicated with the final score, made things interesting in the early going. Four plays later, Tech receiver Detron Lewis lined up where Potts is used to being. Lewis received the snap and darted to the right, but pulled up to throw a 3-yard pass to an open Darrin Moore. With just less than 10 minutes remaining in the first quarter, Lewis' aforementioned pass would be Tech's first and only points of the game. After a Jimmy Stevens field goal gave the Sooners a 10-7 lead in the first quarter, the Red Raiders were presented with the opportunity to either tie things up or take the lead. But three plays for one yard, the result of Tech's second drive, is not going to get the job done. Tech running back Baron Batch said the team's inability to put more points on the board is simply a product of inefficiency. It's safe to say the Sooners didn't lack efficiency. At the end of the opening period, Oklahoma was up 24-7. Entering halftime, the Sooners owned a 35-7 advantage. At the half, Jones had completed 17-of-23 passes for 276 yards and four touchdowns. Against Missouri, the Red Raider defense limited Tigers quarterback Blaine Gabbert to 95 yards passing - in the entire game. The key to Oklahoma's production was the blocking performance provided by the offensive line, said Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops. Oklahoma's final score of the game occurred in the middle of the third quarter, when Jones completed an 8-yard pass to Broyles for the score. Broyles finished the game with six receptions for 110 yards and two scores. The victory extends Oklahoma's nation-leading home winning streak, which now stands at 36 games. The Sooners are now 72-2 within the confines of the Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium during the Bob Stoops era. Although Tech was riding high following last week's upset of Missouri, a team that defeated Oklahoma earlier this season, players and coaches said throughout the week they expected to see the Sooners put together a strong performance in hopes of rebounding from a loss at Texas A&M. So it looks like they got exactly what they expected. "On both sides of the ball, I did a poor job of preparing after a big win last week," Tuberville said. "(We knew) we were going to get the best shot out of Oklahoma – and we did." NAISMITH HALL EXPERIENCE MORE REDUCED RATES STOP BY OUR OFFICE TO ASK ABOUT HOW HOW NAISMITH IS REDUCING RENT TODAY!

In the wake of one of the worst football seasons statistically for the program, basketball is awfully tempting. It would be a lot easier to take a jaunt down Naismith Dr. and find a seat in the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse to watch another talent-loaded Bill Self basketball team make a run at another Big 12 Championship than to give the football team another thought. It would not only help soothe the pain of this dismal and embarrassing football season, but it might also help retain the sanity of Jayhawk A column about the potential of Self's team this year pretty much writes itself. There will be plenty of chances to praise his team in the next four months, so I'm returning to football. fans. Last Saturday marked the 106th and final meeting of the second longest, uninterrupted college football rivalry. Although calling this series a rivalry might not be the best word choice. At one point Nebraska did ring off 36 consecutive victories from 1969 to 2004. Nevertheless, Kansas' 20-3 loss in Lincoln was more than just another loss for a team trying to make its way through the final weeks of a seemingly never-ending season. With Nebraska leaving for the Big Ten, this game had a different feel from past meetings. It felt like Kansas was trying to prove to the power hungry Nebraska squad that the Jayhawks could hold their own before the Cornhuskers walk out on the Big 12. Losing seasons might be harder on the players than the fans. Film sessions seem pointless, practices seem longer and games almost never go the way you want them to, no matter what you try. That's the kind of year it has been for Kansas and coach Turner Gill. THE WAVE NOVEMBER 19,2010 No realistic Kansas fan came into Saturday's game expecting a win against nationally-ranked Nebraska. Most fans would have been happy as long as Kansas covered the Kansas defense tries to put a stop to the Nebraska offense. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Can foul trouble? With Jeff Withey healthy, this is less of a concern than it was in the preseason, but when Markieff Morris had to sit with two early fouls against Valparaiso, it made frontcourt depth an issue for the rest of the first half. There aren't enough bodies in the Jayhawk frontcourt to withstand serious foul trouble, and the Mean Green led the nation in free throws made per game last season. If two of the Jayhawks bigs get into foul trouble, Mario Little could be forced to spend some time in the frontcourt, which offers opponents a size mismatch in their favor. Morris DANIEL HARRIS HEARYE, HEARYE "I never expect to lose here. This is the best home-court advantage in the country. Coming in here and getting those chills before the game, I definitely don't expect to lose here." TOMMY SHELDON Robinson Markieff Morris, junior center Markieff has unquestionably established himself as the best rebounder on this Jayhawks team (with an honorable mention to Thomas Robinson off the bench). His 14 boards per game are just one shy of what Marcus and Robinson are averaging combined. Markieff played just five minutes and pulled down three boards in the first half against Valparaiso because of foul trouble, but had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the second half alone. ★★★★ SIXTH MAN Thomas Robinson, sophomore forward Robinson is getting almost as many minutes as the starters (or more, in the case of Releford) with 20 per game. It's hard for Self to keep him off the floor, as he has the ability to be a double-double player, even off the bench. Self has taken to playing both Morris twins and Robinson at the same time, creating size mismatches at the three and four against most teams. Robinson gets a fourth star for the first time. — Marcus Morris Thomas Robinson, sophomore forward George Odufuwa, senior forward George Odufuwa, senior forward Odufuwa was named to the Sun Belt's preseason All First-Team.

He started 32 of North Texas' 33 games. Odufuwa ★★★★ ★★☆☆ SIXTH MAN Dominique Johnson, senior guard Johnson is averaging 16.5 points off the bench this season in 31 minutes. Johnson may crack the starting lineup if his play continues. However, having two 5-foot-10 guards in the lineup makes the Mean Green very small in the frontcourt.

I was on the sidelines and heard the Kansas players' emotions after Nebraska kept throwing the ball in the final seconds. It was clear how bad Kansas wanted this one. With Nebraska making its farewell tour to this title. The egos of Bo Pelini and Nebraska are big enough as it is, they don't need another reason to scoff the league they left behind. Pelini made it clear on Saturday how much this rivalry and the Big 12 meant to them. It is disheartening that,barring a complete collapse,Nebraska will leave the Big 12 as the undisputed powerhouse and waltz to the Big Ten without a challenge to this title. through the Big 12, it was nice to see a team not named Texas or Iowa State stand up to Nebraska to throw punches against the power that is Nebraska football this season. Kansas' defense played perhaps its best football all season. The Jayhawks defense allowed only 20 points from a Cornhusker offense that has averaged roughly 35 points this season. It is disheartening that, barring a complete collapse, Nebraska will leave the Big 12 as the undisputed powerhouse and waltz to the Big Ten without a challenge "I don't care," Pelini said. "It's part of the deal. We're moving on, I haven't been part of the series very long, so it doesn't bother me much." I hope the Big 12 will find a way to move on as well. At this point, all we can hope is that Oklahoma State or Baylor can keep Nebraska from a Big 12 championship, for the sake of the conference.

His family's history with the sport made it unavoidable for Bishop. His grandfather Chic, father Charles, uncle, older brother Ben, sister, and cousins have all been throwers at some point. For the Bishops, discus does not begin or end at a meet or at a practice facility, it continues at home in their front yard where they have their own ring set up, it occupies conversation at the dinner table, and family get-togethers revolve around the progress in throwing. "If I am going to pursue something I want to give it my all.I want to see growth, there is no end result." Brian Bishop is a senior discus and shot put thrower from Cantrall, Illinois. The Bishop family contains four generations of collegiate discus players. The Bishop family has been dominating discus since 1912, when Brian's great-grandfather set high school records. Brian's great-uncle also set records. Where does the motivation to succeed come from? Chic says that the Bishop family motivation comes from a belief that success should be the aim for everything you try your hand at BRIAN BISHOP senior discus and shotput thrower "We live the cowboy way", Chic says. Bishop's grandfather, Walter "Chic" Bishop, serves as the family's all-purpose discus expert and coach. He's well versed in the sport's history of the last hundred years. His hero and favorite thrower is Al Otert who won the gold medal at the Olympics four consecutive times from 1956 to 1968. Otert was a thrower at the University of Kansas, foreshadowing where Chic's grandson would end up. Brian set seven records for Athens High School. As a junior he was a state runner-up in the discus, and as a senior he set a Midwest Sangamo Conference record for a throw of 185-11 feet. Despite his records Brian was not recruited to throw in college. He attended Southern Illinois-Edwardsville because his older brother Ben was a threerower. In his first year at SIU-Edwardsville he was a walk-on for the track and field team and was named first team all-conference, competing indoors and outdoors. In 2008, Brian participated in the Junior World Championships in Poland where he met Andy Kokhanovsky the throwing coach at KU.The two formed an immediate bond and Brian transferred from SIU-Edwardsville to the THE WAVE NOVEMBER 19,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Can foul trouble?

To say that Brian and the rest of his fam- To say that Brian and the rest of his family enjoy competing in discus and throwing events would be a complete understatement of their fondness for the sport. Kokhanovsky met his son and could take his training to the next level. "I did not like Brian's high school coaches — there aren't many throwers where we are from and his coaches lacked knowledge of throwing." Charles says. "I had to recruit coaches for him." The Bishop family lives and breathes discus. Brian's family members have been frequent faces at tournaments since high school and his parents have driven all over the country to see him throw. Chic enjoys Brian's stories of meets and practice and asks how his technique is changing. Chic is the foundation of the Bishop throwing tradition. For the Bishops discus and throwing dominate conversation. Chic and Charles both say no matter what the family may be discussing, it somehow connects to discus. Discus is also part of the strong bond between Brian and his brother Ben. Brian looks up to Ben as a mentor and coach. Ben transferred from Illinois State to live and throw with Brian at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, where they trained and practiced together until Ben graduated. Brian explained that the relationship between Brian and Ben is extremely close; both of them take turns driving the four and a half hour trip from SIU to Lawrence and back, and they practice together in the off-season. "Sometimes I drive up to Ben to train with him but he plans on coming down this summer to train with me," Brian says. "I look forward to working with him." Contributed Photos Throwing discus is more than competition and records for the Brian and his family. In Brian's senior year of high school, his older brother Ben came to a meet where Brian upset one of Ben's records. Chic says that Brian was not happy after he broke his brother's record "After he beat his brother Ben's record, Brian cried." Chic says. Brian does not boast about what he has won or about beating his brother's records. He takes pride in what he does and strives ly enjoy competing in discus and throwing events would be a complete understatement of their fondness for the sport. Discus is part of the Bishop family history and it's in Brian's future as well. "If I am going to pursue something I want to give it my all." Brian says. "I want to see growth, there is no end result." Opposite page: Brian participates in the Junior World Championships in Poland.

QUINTILES Located just East of Metcalf on 115th Overland Park, KS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Health officials have raised concerns about mixing caffeine and alcohol. Jenny McKee, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that mixing the two can lead to problems. However, the company's founders still aren't convinced their product is unsafe for consumers. Four Loko is sold in a 23.5 ounce can, has an alcohol content of 12 percent by volume and contains 135 milligrams of caffeine. That's the same amount of alcohol in four to five beers and the caffeine content of a Red Bull and an espresso shot. The FDA has been examining these products since November 2009 and concluded that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive." "If it were unsafe, popular drinks like rum and colas or Irish coffees that have been consumed safely and responsibly for years would face the same scrutiny that our products have recently faced," the founders said in a statement on their website. understand, from seeing those who even close HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY Nationally, Four Loko isn't the only drink causing worry. 2.

With Jeff Withey healthy, this is less of a concern than it was in the preseason, but when Markieff Morris had to sit with two early fouls against Valparaiso, it made frontcourt depth an issue for the rest of the first half. There aren't enough bodies in the Jayhawk frontcourt to withstand serious foul trouble, and the Mean Green led the nation in free throws made per game last season. If two of the Jayhawks bigs get into foul trouble, Mario Little could be forced to spend some time in the frontcourt, which offers opponents a size mismatch in their favor. JEREMY MCKINNEY HEARYE, HEARYE "I never expect to lose here. This is the best home-court advantage in the country. Coming in here and getting those chills before the game, I definitely don't expect to lose here." Rubinson Robinson Markieff Morris, junior center Markieff has unquestionably established himself as the best rebounder on this Jayhawks team (with an honorable mention to Thomas Robinson off the bench). His 14 boards per game are just one shy of what Marcus and Robinson are averaging combined. Markieff played just five minutes and pulled down three boards in the first half against Valparaiso because of foul trouble, but had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the second half alone. ★★★☆ SIXTH MAN Robinson is getting almost as many minutes as the starters (or more, in the case of Reieford) with 20 per game. it's hard for Self to keep him off the floor, as he has the ability to be a double-double player, even off the bench. Self has taken to playing both Morris twins and Robinson at the same time, creating size mismatches at the three and four against most teams. Robinson gets a fourth star for the first time. Thomas Robinson, sophomore forward George Odufuwa, senior forward — Marcus Morris Odufuwa was named to the Sun Belt's preseason All First-Team. He is currently averaging 10.5 points and 13 rebounds per game. He is averaging 35 minutes per game as well. A season ago, Odufuwa averaged 11.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He started 32 of North Texas' 33 games. ★★☆☆★ ★★★★ Odufuwa Tim Dwyer SIXTH MAN Dominique Johnson, senior guard Johnson is averaging 16.5 points off the bench this season in 31 minutes. Johnson may crack the starting lineup if his play continues However, having two 5-foot-10 guards in the lineup makes the Mean Green very small in the frontcourt. Johnson is North Texas' best three-point shooter. He is currently 8-13 on the season. He was one of four players to average double figures (11 ppg) last season. Tim Dwyer ★★★☆☆ Johnson Mike Lavieri compared with North Texas. The Mean Green caught the attention of the Jayhawks last season when both teams played in Oklahoma City for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. North Texas lost to Kansas State 82-62.The Mean Green entered the tournament with an 11-game winning streak, but had it snapped by the Wildcats. North Texas hung with Kansas State for the first 10 minutes until Kansas State pulled away. The games against Texas Tech regained Kansas' attention if it was lost during the NCAA Tournament. HEARYE, HEARYE "He was truly a pioneer at North Texas because he showed that you could have sucess here. His willingness to share his experiences helped in my transition to North Texas.

BABY JAY WILL BREAK DOWN AND CRY IF... ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... The team ties the school record for consecutive wins in the building with 62. Marcus Morris said he "can't, can't, CAN'T" lose a game in his home building, so he may have a little extra fire with the streak on the line. If he does, look out North Texas. He could go for 30.

ESPN asked their experts to make a list of the top 10 "most boisterous" arenas. To avoid any biases getting in the way, ESPN then turned their list over to Penn State's acoustic program, Penn State's crew looked at construction data and assumed that each crowd was at capacity and yelling, counted the students as yelling twice as loud as everyone else, and that the fans' bodies absorb sound equally at all venues. They compiled all of that data to get the maximum decibel level at each center court. The results were no surprise to anyone who has ever been to a game in Allen Fieldhouse. The house that Forrest C."Phog" Allen built was ranked at number one over Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, Kentucky's Rupp Arena, and Kansas Sate's Bramlage Coliseum among others. The article referred to Allen Fieldhouse as a "sonic storm", due to the acoustics of the building. The seats and ceiling reflect the noise coming from the students who are right on top of the court. The Jayhawks track record at home backs up the Fieldhouse's top ranking. Alltime, Kansas basketball is 634-106 at home. That's good for a .857 win percentage. Since Bill Self has been at Kansas, the Jayhawks have been 114-6. On top of that the team is in the middle of a 60 game home win streak. Some of the best college basketball players of alltime have come through Allen Fieldhouse, and there have been some incredible games. Students at the University of Kansas that frequent games at Allen Fieldhouse often get to see and be a part of some great games. Allen Fieldhouse is named the loudest college arena in the country "Sherron's last game was awesome. It was cool to see the winningest Jayhawk's last game, it was just some thing memorable." Amen-Ra Stampley FD YEARS OF CHEERS "The Longwood game was my first as a cheerleader, so that was probably my favorite. There was so much more excitement than the exhibition games - the team was playing faster, the crowd was definitely louder - it was a lot of fun." Martrez Taylor "Getting to watch the team that had Paul Pierce, Raef LaFrentz, and Jacque Vaughn would be my favorite Fieldhouse experiences. Getting to look back on seeing those guys play, when I can now watch them in the NBA is pretty cool." Parker Scafe C. G. BARRISON "The first time you go to a game and they show the pump up video is my favorite experience. Everyone is just going nuts." Will Wright MARK RUSSELL "The Kansas State game last year was my favorite. The crowd was rocking, and it was Sherron's senior night. God that was awesome." Spencer Goldenberg PETER M.

The company will produce only non-caffeinated Four Loko drinks from now on. However, the company's founders still aren't convinced their product is unsafe for consumers. Four Loko is sold in a 23.5 ounce can, has an alcohol content of 12 percent by volume and contains 135 milligrams of caffeine. That's the same amount of alcohol in four to five beers and the caffeine content of a Red Bull and an espresso shot. 2 The company's statement said if Four Loko was unsafe, the Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the federal bureau that approves alcoholic beverages, should not have approved the products. "If it were unsafe, popular drinks like rum and colas or Irish coffees that have been consumed safely and responsibly for years would face the same scrutiny that our products have recently faced," the founders said in a statement on their website. HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY Nationally, Four Lok isn't the only drink causing worry. The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it was warning four companies that produce caffeinated, alcoholic beverages that their products are unsafe. The FDA has been examining these products since November 2009 and concluded that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive." Health officials have raised concerns about mixing caffeine and alcohol. Jenny McKee, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that mixing the two can lead to problems. Caffeine is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant. The two have opposite effects. Alcohol slows down bodily functions like heart rate and breathing while caffeine increases heart rate and alertness. The combination could potentially be heart stopping, McKee said. The popularity of caffeinated, alcoholic beverages, also known as CABs, has grown significantly in recent years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two popular CAB brands had a 67-fold increase in sales from 2002 to 2008. Scrutiny over Four Loko first started in mid-October after the drink sent college students in Washington and New Jersey to the hospital after consuming large quantities of the drink. The blood alcohol content of the students ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent. According to blood-alcoholcontent.org, a BAC level of 0.40 can be lethal for more than half of adults. Following these incidents, several states made moves to ban the drink. Lawmakers in New York City and Pennsylvania started asking liquor stores to remove Four Loko from their shelves. The beverage has been officially banned in four states: Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma. Freda Warfield, a spokesperson for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said the state had been monitoring Four Loko closely.

"We will take any actions necessary to keep our Kansas safe," Warfield said. McKee said the drinks could pose health risks even if they do not contain caffeine. She said that some people still might not understand how much alcohol the drinks have, especially Four Loko.

"If it has three to four drinks, spend three to four hours sipping on it," she said. "I suspect that sales will go through the roof here until they're all gone," he said. A problem, McKee said, is that one container isn't one drink. Brad Wandell, a junior from Ellicott City, Md., said he's surprised by the controversy. He said he has been drinking Four Loko for about six months, but never had any problems with the caffeine and alcohol combination. Wandell said he would still drink Four Loko because he cares more about the alcohol content than the caffeine. But some think that removing the caffeine will cause the drink to lose popularity. Jake Liston, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., said he's never tried Four Loko, but there were smashed Four Loko kans in front of his house this weekend. "So, it looks like people are having fun with it," he said. Liston said he thought the buzz around Four Loko would die down soon. "But it's only a matter of time before another product will replace it," he said.

He was more than a son. And he was more than an older brother. Douglas R. To Phil Cole, one of Matt's closest friends, he was "the greatest man that ever lived." No one in the congregation at his funeral on Saturday morning seemed to object More than 200 people came to Westminster Presbyterian Church in Matt's hometown to mourn his tragic and sudden death. The Rev. Junie Ewing best captured the overwhelming emotions of the occasion. Matt, a 21-year-old former KU student, was found dead in his off-campus apartment early Tuesday morning after an apparent suicide. "We love him, we're mad at him and we miss him," she said to a somber congregation of Matt's closest friends and family. "It's just so hard losing someone as young and vibrant as The freshman from Baltimore faces a nine-game suspension and a sizable fine for taking impermissible benefits as prospect. She described Matt as "the life of the party," someone who "made friends wherever he went."

Ashley Brown, one of Matt's closest friends from high school, expressed her frustrations in a poem she recited from the lectern: you must be, I'll never understand, whatever blinded you from seeing our hands/The hands of those who loved you so, it wasn't even close for your time to go." clear. What remained unclear was how they'd move on without a friend who always put others before himself. Matt's father, Jeff, suggested those close to Matt could "make his life count for something" by making a difference in someone else's life. That's what Matt would do. Whether he was helping his great-grandfather in the yard or lending an ear to a troubled friend, Matt was always there when friends and family needed him most. He was kind and selfless, compassionate and reliable. Jeff said bracelets should have been made: "What Would Matt Adair Do?" 21 0 32 "He touched everybody's heart in this room," he said. "I just want everyone to leave here with a piece of him and make a difference." "There's going to be a hole in a lot of our hearts for a while, including mine," said Cole, a senior from Boston. "Matt was a huge part of all of our lives. He left a hole that's going to be difficult to fill." In a brief moment of comic relief during an otherwise somber occasion, Cole told the story of a time last summer when Matt suddenly appeared at his house. Cole never knew what to expect from Matt—his rashness was a part of his appeal. "Do you like corn?" Cole said he remembered Matt asking. "It's just so hard losing someone as young and vibrant as Matt." Hesitantly, Cole told Matt, "Sure Who does it?" JUNIE EWING Reverend That's all Matt needed to hear to convince Cole to sneak into every cornfield they could find around Lawrence. They took as many ears of corn as Matt was an effortless comedian and everyone's favorite jokester. Even in death, memories such as Cole's could still make people laugh. "We're all going to miss Matt," Cole said. "A day is never going to go by that I don't think about him." Of course they didn't do it for the corn, Cole said. They did it to create a new and outrageous memory together. The laughter that filled the church meant everyone understood at least that much. they could carry before returning to Cole's house.

The Record-Courier of Gardnerville reports that Natalie Yanish drew the ace of clubs Friday to win a seat on the Kingsbury Grade General Improvement District board over Robert McDowell, who drew the eight of diamonds. The two tied for third place in the nov. 2 election. They finished with 373 votes each in an 11-way race for three seats. State law allows candidates to settle ties by either drawing cards or flipping a coin. Douglas County Clerk Ted Thran shuffled a deck of cards and each candidate selected one. Nevada's tie-breaking method has been used to settle at least several other races in counties across the state over the last decade. Associated Press ODD NEWS Dance team causes highway terror scare WEEHAWKEN, N.J. — A dance troupe from Florida caused a rush-hour terror scare when they ditched their cars in the Lincoln Tunnel and tried to run to a TV appearance in Manhattan while wearing their camouflage costumes. The dancers drove about 1,000 miles so they could appear Wednesday on BET's live "106 & Park" show. But they hit traffic at the tunnel, which connects New Jersey and New York City and is just two miles from the TV studio. plaza. The five young women and three young men decided to sprint the rest of the way. They left their adult chaperones behind and ran through the toll Armed officers with Port Authority police and the FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force gave chase, closing the tunnel for 45 minutes. They eventually offered to escort the dancers to the show, but the producers told them it was too late. Associated Press ODD NEWS Gross video leads to woman's guilty plea HICKORY, N.C. — A North Carolina woman accused of appearing in a gross video at a Domino's Pizza kitchen that was posted on the Internet last year has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the video. The Hickory Daily Record reports that 32-year-old Kristy Hammonds received a suspended sentence Friday and also was placed on probation for 18 months. During that time, she cannot work at any business that prepares or serves food or beverages. In the video, a giggling Hammonds narrates as 32-year-old Michael Anthony Setzer sticks cheese in his nose and waves salami under his rear end while making a sandwich. Both had been charged with breaking food sanctions laws. Hammonds was told to turn over recordings of the incident to Domino's Pizza and not to discuss the case with anyone.

Z BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Dial 911 POLICE NI/ Public Safety Office POLICE The lights on top of Officer Robert Blevins' car flashed red, blue, red, blue, and his car screamed as loud as it could. He flew north on Naismith Dr. at 50 miles per hour. He parked his car behind Tower A of the Jayhawker Towers, ran up the stairwell to the fourth floor and followed the racket of a fire alarm to a door. Public Safety Office Building Inside, two women sat on their couch, looking a little sheepish. One had burned her dinner, setting off the fire alarm, and she couldn't help but smile at the commotion she had caused. She had the charred remains of dinner on a plate in her lap, explaining the alarm without words when the emergency responders got there. "EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY," the recorded voice blared. As he opened the door, some smoke wafted out into the hall. The KU Public Safety Office has its own dispatch center. The dispatch center calls police from the Public Safety Office and fire trucks from the city when people on campus need help. During the last academic year, it called fire trucks to campus 495 times, not including winter break, according to a city report. In fact, because of the similarities in dispatch centers, Douglas County can use the University's dispatch room in a pinch. 6:10 P.M. 6:30 P.M. If you call 911 from a cell phone, cellular companies have worked with the city and University to pinpoint your call — if you are a few feet away from campus, your call goes to the Douglas County dispatch center. But if you call while on campus your emergency call goes to the University dispatch, and maybe Blevins will be the one who comes to help you. Satellite buildings further west "It's still edible, right?" Blevins asked, laughing. Blevins listened to the Lawrence police department's radio for crimes in progress while driving on patrol, which he said was his way of monitoring the area just outside of his jurisdiction. "Things have a tendency to drift onto campus," he said. As he drove, eyes darting toward the dark spots, he talked about his love of working at the University, especially in relation with the other police departments. To be a police officer in Kansas, pilete 560 hours of basic training at the state law enforcement center. Another 640 hours of in-department training follows, including some basic training and ride-alongs with a training officer, before the trainee can be put on general assignment, according to the KU Public Safety Office website. The University and city police back each other up when there is an overload of calls. Blevins has occasionally responded to calls from the city. 6:41 P.M. Bagley Dr., outside the Stouffer Place apartments south of Daisy Hill For Blevins, it all started with a class project in junior high: find a job you think you'd like and go tag along with someone in the profession. So he had an adventurous ride along with his cousin, who worked on the traffic unit of the Lawrence Police Department. "That's when I caught the bug" Blevins said. He's been working as a University policeman for more than four years now. His cousin was the closest officer to a residential burglary call. As they approached, she saw the car matching the description from the victim. His cousin got the guy. "My dad told me, 'When you pick out your job, pick one that makes you happy,'" Blevins said. "I'm happy." 19th St. east of Iowa St. 6:45 P.M. Robert Blevins can turn into Officer Blevins quickly. He has the unusual ability to be completely immersed in a conversation, right before he flips a tight u-turn unexpectedly, revs up his engine, and turns on his siren. The process was the same every time Blevins pulled someone over; He shined his bright car-mounted light on the driver's side, radioed to University dispatch to give them the car's information and his location, and walked up to get the driver's license and registration. "They had a light out." he said of the navy blue Saturn pulled over in front of him. The woman kept staring at her rearview mirror to see what Blevins was doing. She looked nervous. 6:58 P.M. Called to Jayhawker Towers There was some kind of physical confrontation reported at the Jayhawker Towers that dispatch called out on the radio. Another officer was already there, but she needed help getting the account of the person who reported the incident. Blevins was there within a minute or two. He pulled up to the parking lot west of Tower A, got out of his car, and started looking around. It took him less than 15 seconds to find the man, in a gray shirt and sweats, with a blue jacket. The two men stood at the foot of a cement staircase, and Blevins had a foot on the first step and his hands in his pockets. They stood side-by-side, like they were discussing the weather or the latest basketball game. It seemed to calm the man down. Around 7:10 p.m., the other officer came over to talk to Blevins about what he found out. The incident seemed less criminal all the time. It was okay for him to leave. "Everything's fine," the other officer radioed back to dispatch. Ben Pirotte/KANSAN 7:37 P.M. Patrolling west campus again Blevins is used to respect. He's an unassuming, friendly guy. He's certain to ask anyone who crosses his path, "How are you doin' tonight?" But people still step out of his way, or perhaps stutter when they first talk to Blevins. When he walked through a crowd of students, their eyes darted from his badge to his gun to his handcuffs. these would "When you're in one of these marked cars, they'll wait for you to go at a four-way stop, even though they were there first," he said. Parking garage near Allen Fieldhouse and the Burge Union Denise Linville, a lecturer in journalism, won the 2010 HOPE (Honor for an Outstanding Progressive Educator) Award. She was presented with the distinction during the first quarter of the football game against Oklahoma Saturday. Blevins checked out spots like parking garages for the same things he was looking for in west campus, because they're both areas with parked cars and few people around. 8:29 P.M. patrols would rarely catch an act in progress, but that didn't meant crime went undetected. Top teacher "The public is really our eyes and ears," he said. "Police are very dependant on the public." ing the stairs. But from 2005 to 2009, the last full year of statistics available, the number of car burglaries was in the 30s and 40s per year. In fact, the number of car burglaries has been down for the last few years. According to crime statistics published on the Public Safety Office's website, there were 115 car burglaries in 1999. The number was in the 70s, 80s, and 90s from 2000 to 2004. It took him less than a minute from the radio call before he started 9:13 P.M. He exited the parking lot, made two lefts, then flew up Naismith Avenue to get to the towers. Fire call to Jayhawker Towers A dispatcher announced a fire alarm at the Jayhawker Towers. Blevins was visibly hurried, the most he had been that night. His hands scrambled to grab and put up his speed gun, then they grabbed the steering wheel. After he realized it was just smoke from cooking, he exchanged information with a member of towers staff to file an incident report. Then they had to wait for the firefighters to arrive so they could turn the alarm off and do their own report. Blevins was joking with the women while they waited. "What are you guys watching?" he said, looking at their TV. Moments later, two tall firefighters wearing heavy equipment also completed the hike up to the fourth floor. Everyone was laughing, smiling and joking while the alarm blared. "You guys been busy tonight?" Blevins asked the firefighters. Maybe not that night, but firefighters are often busy coming to campus. They did it 495 times last school year, not including winter break — more than two per day. And fire trucks went to the Jayhawker Towers 52 of those times, according to a report from the city. That means firefighters responded to the towers more than 10 percent of the times they came to campus last year. — Edited by Roshni Oommen The Confessional Institute of Lawrence The Confessional Institute of Lawrence Truth isn't just out there somewhere for you to find Closer than you think Advanced studies in Lutheran Confessions for higher theological learning meetings every Thursday @ 6pm Holiday Inn Express Meeting Room g w.

News last week that the band's catalog finally would be available on iTunes made the front page of the New York Times. The "Glee" kids are making a whole new generation swoon over "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Paul McCartney will be lauded next month during the Kennedy Center Honors. Fans are stealing bricks from Ringo Starr's soon-to-be demolished boyhood home. But none of the boys is causing as much of a stir as John Lennon, who would have turned 70 last month and was shot to death on Dec.8,1980. A new 11-CD box set of his solo albums should be a holiday favorite. A coin with his iconic image was recently issued by the UK Royal Mint, beating out such luminaries as Jane Austen and Sir Walter Raleigh. The indie film "Nowhere Boy," which focused on his unorthodox relationship with his mother, received melodic reviews on the art-house circuit. In August, his former toilet went for $14,740 at an auction. and "LENNONYC." "Naked," an installment of "Masterpiece Contemporary," primarily deals with Lennon's daddy issues and the fact that he felt abandoned as a child. Christopher Eccelston ("Doctor Who") plays the title character with both a trumped-up accent and attitude, slicing up everyone who stands in his way. He belittles wife Cynthia, tried-and-true manager Brian Epstein, long-lost father Freddie (a very good Christopher Fairbank), an unseen Brigitte Bardot and his bandmates, who come across as so cuddly they could have been Michael Epstein's lens, Lennon comes across as a martyr in his home country who finally got the freedom and respect from fans that he deserved when he moved to the States — even as the U.S. government tried to have him deported. Marquee names, including Elton John and Dick Cavett, speak lovingly of their friend and offer insights into his personal and professional life. (One tidbit: Even his budding relationship with Yoko Ono (Naoko Mori) can't melt the brittle Beatle. Could it be that writer Robert Jones and director Edmund Coulhard prefer Paul's silly love songs? The "American Masters" documentary "LENNONYC," which picks up where "Naked" leaves us — the couple's move to New York City — is a much more sympathetic piece. No surprise there, since Ono cooperated with the production. John Lennon is causing a stir with his 11-CD box set and UK Royal Mint iconic coin release, two films on the horizon, and his toilet selling at $14,740. portrayed by the Muppets. "Mind Games" was originally called "Make Love Not War." That's not to say the film is a whitewash. Ono and Lennon's temporary lover May Through director/writer Pang speak openly about his "lost weekend" in Los Angeles in the mid-'70s, when he succumbed to drugs, drink and eventually heartbreak over cheating on his wife. It also doesn't hesitate to suggest that Lennon's last works bordered on mediocrity. It's not the most revealing or even-handed of portraits — for that, I would recommend Philip Norman's book "John Lennon: The Life" — but it comes across as more honest and heartfelt than "Naked." Diehard fans, however, may be better off skipping all these biopics, and getting lost in Lennon's music instead. Maybe that's the only Lennon we need to know — or will get to know.

But Davis, who grew up in East St. Louis, was also a visionary who wasn't afraid to shake things up and didn't believe in looking back. Beginning in the late 1960s, that meant venturing beyond acoustic post-bop jazz to explore the improvisational possibilities of rock. Considering his admiration for the music of Jimi Hendrix, it wasn't surprising that Davis' new musical strategy involved the guitar. With its gift for rocking out, the instrument was invaluable in bridging the gap between his aging jazz base and his emerging youthful audience.

McLaughlin, whose latest group, 4th Dimension, includes keyboardist Gary Husband, bass guitarist Etienne M'Bappe and drummer Mark Mondesir, said Davis "was so loose, but cryptic. He was like a Zen master." In recent decades, acoustic improvisation in the style of Davis' classic 1959 album "Kind of Blue" has largely retaken the jazz spotlight.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mold makes McCollum living a health hazard I am not one to complain, but the situation with McCollum right now has become unacceptable. There is mold growing on the pipes in our rooms. Many of the girls in my wing have had serious respiratory infections while they have been at KU this year and it was said that the cause of them was more than likely the state of our rooms. And contrary to what the maintenance crew may think, painting over the mold, or duct taping it, will not make it go away. There are also severe leakage problems with the pipes exposed in our room, causing many of our personal items to not be salvageable. Our showers not only do I am not asking for McCollum to be a Ritz Carlton. I am just saying for the amount of money that we pay to come here and stay in the dorms, for it to be in livable condition. It is truly a health hazard in the condition it's in. Rather than renovating GSP, which is not nearly in as bad condition as us, next year, 1, along with everyone who is currently living in McColllum believe that you should really invest in fixing the real problems at a dorm that houses 900 of KU's students. — Sara Boltz is a freshman from Sabetha. It is said that McCollum won't be renovated until 2013. I personally am afraid for the health of anyone who is planning on living here in the next three years ... if it's this bad now, I would hate to see it in the future without renovation.

NICHOLAS SAMBULAK FOOD Holiday tricky to navigate for families and vegetarians Understandably, Thanksgiving can be a dreadful time of year for vegetarians. understandably, Thanksgiving can be a dreadful time of year for vegetarians. After all, it's traditional to celebrate by having a turkey dinner; but it is possible for both carnivores and herbivores to enjoy Thanksgiving festivities together. During my childhood, I lived in colorful Colorado, and ate alek and trout that my dad brought home after his hunting and fishing expeditions. My dad, who would rather die than leave Colorado, has always been a true outdoorsman; he is crazy about camping, hunting, fishing, and all that it entails. When I finally got up the nerve to break the news to my dad, he just laughed it off incredulously. He wasn't mad. He didn't tell me I was stupid or disown me. He just tried to persuade him with his wiley ways When I decided to become a vegetarian, I dreaded calling my dad to inform him of my new lifestyle. I knew it would break his heart; he no longer would have a fishing partner, and his hopes of taking me along on one of his hunting trips would never come to be. I didn't want to disappoint my dad, but I was planning a trip to Colorado and knew I needed to tell him. CAROLINE FERRARI The Conscientious Consumer Now my dad has come to respect my choice — even if he utterly disagrees with my ethical belief that we shouldn't eat animals. I don't try to change his mind, and he doesn't try to change mine — not because we are "weak," but because we respect and love each other. BY SARAH BREGMAN sbregman@kansan.com and unforgettable cooking skills. Eventually, though, he realized I wasn't going to eat meat, not even steak, lobster, or shrimp. Thanksgiving is not the time to try to change a family member or friend's moral and ethical beliefs; it's a time to come together and put differences aside. We vegetarians will delight in eating out sweet potatoes and squash, and meat lovers can eat their turkey and ham toe care cut their turkey and ham — all at the same table. No matter how corny it sounds, Thanksgiving is about spending times with those you love. Tips for Vegetarians: If your parents (or friends) are worried because they don't know what to feed you, just look up some delectable recipes online and share them with them. Don't lecture family or friends as to why you believe eating meat is wrong, but if someone asks why you are a vegetarian, be honest. Don't put yourself in a situation that you know will be uncomfortable; you're in college now, and you don't have to spend Thanksgiving with family if they refuse to respect your beliefs. (Likewise, don't make your family feel uncomfortable). Tips for Meat Eaters: Be understanding of your vegetarian family member or friend's dietary preferences, and make sure there is something he or she can eat. Don't ask why a person's a vegetarian if you don't want an honest answer. Don't make fun of a person for not eating meat; it will only create unnecessary tension.

EDITORIAL Pay freeze stings, yet may be unavoidable As a result of the $100 million budget cuts to state funding to higher learning, it was announced that Kansas' public universities pay levels for faculty would remain frozen for the third straight year in a row. With the current funding difficulties, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has now promised to push for salary increases for next year's budget It was agreed upon by five other regents institutions that a plan needed to be figured in order to increase the salaries. Another avenue university leaders have discussed is the possibility of increasing student tuition to help compensate for the significantly smaller budget. The idea of the funding burden being passed onto students isn't a new concept, but at same time, the state can't keep resorting to having students pay for so much of the universities' costs. Understandably and right- fully so, pay freezes are extremely tough on faculty, but in times like these when the economy is down all over the nation, it may be a necessary route. However, in- creates every so often are needed so that staff morale remains high and the University remains an attractive place of employment. The lack of pay level increases also could create potential problems in recruiting and retaining faculty as well. The specific details on salary increases and their potential sources will be determined in January by the Legislature and when the Kansas universities bring their budgets to the Board of Regents in the Spring of 2011. Students should have the opportunity to learn from the best and to have consistent faculty who they can benefit from. It is important that the University upholds a competitive edge and maintains its status as a desirable place to work and get an education. Hopefully, Gray-Little and other university leaders can succeed in their push for pay increases, so it does not end up coming out of student's pockets. —Stefanie Penn for The Kansan Editorial Board LETTER TO THE EDITOR Students should avoid illness with flu vaccine Getting the flu during finals week could be one of the most stressful experiences of your college life. Though the risk of death due to the flu in healthy young adults is low, many college students contract influenza each year and are rendered useless for about a week. Last year's outbreak of H1N1 spread quickly through college age groups (age 19-24) and was the cause many missed tests and finals. The influenza virus is passed through respiratory droplets in the air and can cause many symptoms including muscle aches, headaches, body aches, high fevers and extreme fatigue. This extreme fatigue keeps students at home in bed, unable to study and unable to attend lectures and classes. The impact of missing class and tests can be treacherous for a student's semester and may result in low grades or even failed classes. Fortunately, successful flu vaccines are available each year to protect students from this Flu shots are relatively inexpensive (as low as $15 at Sigler Pharmacy and at KU flu shot clinics), widely available, and the risks from getting vaccinated are low. College students would be wise to avoid the stress and difficulty of getting the flu during your finals week and protect the people around them by getting vaccinated this season. Getting vaccinated not only protects you, but also protects those around you. Young immune systems respond more completely to the flu vaccines than those of the elderly. If more healthy young adults get immunized, less virus will be available to spread to the elderly, the very young, the unhealthy, and others who may be at increased risk of death from the flu.

Held every year on Nov. 20, the day is set aside to remember the transgender people who were killed in hate crimes and those who have attempted or committed suicide. Here are the stories and experiences of two transgender people and how they persevered through hard times to find happiness. AVERY'S STORY He said he chose his new name, Avery, because it was gender neutral, and the fact that it meant "adviser to elves" in French was perfect. It fits his quirky, outgoing personality. Avery Dame, a graduate student from Tuscaloosa, Ala., is a transman. He was born into a woman's body, but he is trying to pass as a man. Growing up, he didn't understand why he was different. He said he never felt he was born into the wrong body when he was a child. However, he knew something was wrong, and his mother constantly told him. "At one point she told me that I walked like a farmer and I was like 'what?' Dame said. He experienced a lot of those instances growing up in Alabama. He said he started to believe that whatever he was, was wrong, and he started to have suicidal ideas. "I was wrong and I didn't really deserve to exist," Dame said. One night years later, about a month after his sophomore year started at the University of Alabama, Dame took a large amount of over-the-counter pain killers with alcohol. He said he couldn't remember what triggered it, but he attempted suicide that night. According to the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, 41 percent of transgender people have attempted suicide. "People do not accidently take half a bottle of pain killers and a large amount of alcohol," Dame said. "This never happens on purpose — people just don't do that." As the night passed, Dame As the night began to think that committing suicide was a bad idea and called one of his good friends, Betty. Betty threatened that if Dame did not call poison control center then she would call headed to a friend's house. He said the first thing his friend said to him changed his life. She said "How could you think that I wouldn't care?" He said that someone cared and validated his identity; however they did it, was huge for being transgender person. He said the woman at the center eventually hung up on Dame because she was too busy that night. It had been about two hours since he took the medication. "It's so easy for the rest of the world to invalidate you because somehow you are breaking the rules." the campus police. He called the poison control center. "It's so easy for the rest of the world to invalidate you because somehow you are breaking the rules," he said. "So much of that night was fuzzy." Dame said. "I know I did it, but I don't remember the specific details of it." Now, Dame said that although his life has become easier, he still has difficulties passing as a man. He binds his breasts and "packs" by putting a penis-shaped item in his pants. He said the most difficult part of passing is finding clothes He remembered finding some activated charcoal, which is used to absorb oils in the stomach, and to hide his AVERY DAME Graduate student to hide his femal e shape. "I have child-birthing hips," he said. "It's sometimes hard to cover them up." He will start taking testosterone later this week. He said he won't try to act masculine; he would like himself. He said the hormone would make up for the fact that he was not willing to change his behavior for society. He said he did not plan on having sexual-reassignment surgery because of the risk of being ostracized at home. However, he said he now feels his life is starting to become more balanced. He knows he can now be more like himself. "I feel a lot more whole," Dame said. STEPHANIE'S STORY She was born in 1957 in Lawrence. She said the very first thing she knew about herself was that she was a little girl born into a little boy's body. She didn't have the words to explain how she felt when she was five or six, but she knew she was different. Therefore, Stephanie Mott, a Topeka resident, would have to pretend to be a little boy everywhere she went. She said when she wanted to express herself as a little girl she had to be in the "shadows and in the closet in the dark." "It was horrible," Mott said. It was only after her family moved to a large farm outside of Eudora that she could secretly express herself as a girl. However, she said she still couldn't talk about it. "It's like the heat during the summer — the torment, the stress, the shame and the disconnect of having to pretend who you are, and feeling alone," she said. In 1969, when the first space shuttle landed on the moon, she said when little boys would dream about becoming an astronaut, she had a different dream. She hoped that if she could make the Russians mad enough, they would break into her room and force her to change into a girl. "It was just a fantasy," Mott said. "Fantasies were all I had." When she hit puberty, her body started to change. She said the line between being a boy and FINDING HELP Mott said if a student needed help with transitioning he or she could e-mail Matt at stepphopeka@yahoo.com. Mott works for the Kansas Statewide Transgender Project, which travels around Kansas educating others about transgender people. Students can also contact the University's LGBT Resource center at: 785-864-2497. "Anybody who is out there who doesn't think there is help out there, there are wonderful resources out there for people," Mott said. "All they have to do is ask." girl became far more obvious in a physical sense. When she turned 13, she said she found that because of Renee Richard, a tennis player who was a transgender from male to female like Stephanie, that transitioning from a male to a female was possible. However, she would not make that change for almost 35 years. She started college at the University at 17 years old. During her sophomore year at the University she discovered alcohol. "Alcohol changed the way I felt," Mott said. "For the first time I didn't feel that fear." She drank abusively for years. By 2005, she said she managed to drink herself homeless and ended up in a rescue mission in Topeka. Soon she realized that she needed to change. "My sisters were tired of watching me kill myself," she said. She said things finally got bad enough that she realized she needed to stop pretending to be a man. She joined a church in Topeka where she met a transgender woman for the first time. After talking with her she believed that she could finally transition. It took her 35 years and she was finally ready. She said she thought it would be too hard, too much money. She said she feared that her loved ones would disown her or that she would lose her job. That fear was gone. "I wasn't alone anymore," she said. "That changed the nature of my problems." In July 2006, she went from Stephen, her given name, to Stephanie. "It was like somebody turned on the light switch and I was no longer living in the dark," Mott said. "I was born for the first time. I was really living."

"And now I'm becoming an adult as the movies are ending. It's sad." When Welleymeyer picked up the first Harry Potter book, it was the biggest book she'd ever read. But in one summer she raced through the first three books and began counting down to the next one. Every summer, she revisits the series. Ethan Ness, a sophomore from Minnetonka, Minn., said he feels he owes a lot to the series. When Ness was in elementary school he struggled with reading. He was in the lowest level reading group. But in fifth grade he picked up the first Harry Potter book. "It made me want to read," Ness said. "By my freshman year of high school I was in the accelerated reading group." Ness and millions of other readers became attached to Harry Potter as children. As the characters grew older, so did the readers. A theater full of 20-somethings dressed as fictional characters may be the first signs of Generation Y's wave of nostalgia. "It makes me feel like I'm a kid again," said Teagan Seeley, a freshman from Salinas, Calif. "I go online and look up spells and pretend to cast them on people. It's fun to act like a kid — when I believed in magic." Seeley said the series hooked her because it was relatable. "I was a teenager when they were teenagers." Seeley said. "I could relate to the relationship stuff. When Hormione liked Ron, but she saw him with someone else — I understood how that felt." pitch on Nov. 18, as thousands of Potter faithful referenced the series on Facebook, stayed up until 3 a.m. watching the film, and probably missed their Friday morning classes.

Fantasy is now reality A team has been formed at Kansas simulating the fictional game. "I'll be so sad when the last one comes out." Seeley said. "It's the end of a phemenon, the end of an era. But I'll still watch the movies, read the books, and talk about it constantly, even when it's all over." Edited by Anna Nordling INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS Palestinian president rejects US peace plan RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Obama administration's troubled attempt to revive Mideast peace talks took another blow Sunday when the Palestinian president rejected the latest U.S. plan to get the sides talking again. Mahmoud Abbas said a proposed 90-day freeze on Israeli settlement construction wouldn't get him back to the negotiating table unless it includes east Jerusalem, a condition Israel stamically opposes. Palestinians claim east Jerusalem for their future capital. For decades, Israel has built Jewish sections around the city's periphery, and about 200,000 Jews live there now. Palestinians consider the large neighborhoods as illegal settlements. The impasse highlights the gaps the U.S. must bridge — not to just achieve a peace deal, but even to get the sides to sit down and talk about one. In Cairo Sunday, Abbas said any construction freeze must include east Jerusalem "first and foremost," along with the West Bank. "If the moratorium does not apply to all Palestinian territories, including east Jerusalem, we will not accept it," Abbas said after consultations with President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. The issue of Israeli settlements has bedeviled the latest round of peace talks since their launch in September. They broke down three weeks later when a previous 10-month slowdown on West Bank construction expired. Since then, the U.S. has been pushing Israel to impose a new, 90-day moratorium to draw the Palestinians back to talks. The U.S. hopes the sides can reach a deal on future borders during that time, in effect determining which settlements Israel will get to keep in a peace agreement and defusing the issue of where it can build. To entice Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pro-settlement coalition government, the U.S. has offered a fleet of next-generation stealth warplanes and promises to veto anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations.

WWW.KANSAN.COM LANSA 5 GE 1B PAGE 1B A PRICE TO PLAY Selby must pay large fine, sit out until Dec.18 First National Bank Freshman guard Josh Selby was cleared Friday to play for the Jayahawks this season. The NCAA declared that Selby will have to sit out nine games before he can play, making December 18 his first \ eligible game. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Coach Bill Self said it's just a coincidence that Josh Selby's picture appears on the tickets and media credentials for the Jayhawks' Dec. 18 game against USC. He's not lying — those passes have been printed since long before the season started. Still, it does have some kind of poetic perfection that, as the Selby saga draws to a close, his first game will be the one that carries his image on the tickets. Selby, the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2010, must miss nine games, or 30 percent of the Kansas season, per NCAA rules. That includes the three games he has already missed. "I think it's a fair ruling." Self said. "The rules are black and white." He must also pay back money received in impermissible benefits, but the Kansas Athletics and NCAA press releases differ on the amount. According to Kansas' press release, the amount is $4,607.58, while the NCAA's press release dictates a $5,757.58 fine. Kansas associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said Kansas' number was the correct figure. Either way, the money Selby pays back will go to a charity of his choosing. Kansas is able to appeal the ruling, but Self said it would not. all the benefits in question. "There is an appeals process, but to me, you read it and whether you like it or not, it says it," Self said. "It's like you're going 70 in a 55 and the law says you pay that much if they catch you, you don't appeal it if you did it." The rules in question cover the relationship between benefits given to a prospect, which is defined as anyone in the seventh grade or higher. Those rules stipulate that benefits that were not given to the prospect, in this case Selby, by a person, in this case Selby's family friend Robert "Bay" Frazier, before they became a prospect cannot be given once he is a prospect. That includes, for example, a tuxedo rental and car for prom, or even something as simple as lunch. If the benefits exceed $1,000, the student must sit a minimum of 30 percent of the season and pay back "We do have rules," Self said. "The NCAA stated, even though long-time acquaintance, even though friend of his son, even though a mentor, there's still some situations that happened long before he got here that Josh admitted to that he's going to have to deal with, but he'll handle it like a man." Selby said he did not know he was breaking any rules when he was in high school, and said that he did not. Throughout the process, Self has maintained that he thought Selby would be cleared, but over the last week admitted to feeling some frustration that he did not know when he would have his star freshman back. Now that there is a date, Self "Me and my mom were not aware of the rules, at the time." "I me did nothing wrong." "Me and my mom were not aware of the rules, at the time," Selby said. JOSH SELBY Freshman point guard said he would be able to pace Selby's return so the transition is as easy as possible. "What is cool from this point forward is that we can practice him in a way, and mentor him in He also tried to temper expecta- a way and tutor him in a way that on the 18th, the transition is more seamless," Self said. ions that are sky-high from a fan base rife with anticipation. Selby said the most difficult part of the process was hearing from his teammates how much they wanted him on the floor. "It's very hard. It weighs on your mind to know if you're going to be able to play," Selby said. "You've got your teammates asking when you're going to be able to play. Now that we have a date, we can just move forward." "Our expectations should be that he's a freshman," Self said. "He's going to labor and he's going to have good moments and he'S going to have some not-so-good moments. That would be my expectations, and if those are my expectations then I think, outside of us, should have similar expectations." judge Selby's play until January or February when he's fully caught up to the college game. Self said it wouldn't be fair to "He's a nice talent, he's a good player, but he's got a lot to learn," Self said before turning to Selby. "And I think you'd agree with that." "I agree," Selby quickly replied. Good answer" Self said Selby agreed with his coach that he got a lot to learn, but he also said he thinks he'll be able to fit in quickly with the Jayhawks. "I don't think it'll take long," Selby said, "because our team, they do a great job of mentoring you on and off the court. Along with that help, I'll be fine. I'll fit in perfect with them." Edited by Clark Goble FOOTBALL Jayhawks unable to make Cowboys pay for mistakes BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com "With a team like Oklahoma State, your offense is going to have to score some touchdowns," Kansas coach Turner Gill commented after the game. "We had opportunities to do that in the first half and in the third quarter, but we could never capitalize on it and we couldn't maintain anything on the drives offensively." It was third down and six. Kansas was trailing Oklahoma State 20-14 with nine minutes left in the third quarter. Junior quarterback Quinn Mecham saw freshman wide receiver Chris Omigie standing there, wide open, with a first down and room to run clearly in his grasps. Plenty of time to throw. Great pass right between the "8" and "3" on Omigie's jersey. Omigie turned upfield, ready to break away from the secondary. He was forgetting something, though. Mecham's pass went right through Omigie's hands and bounced onto the turf of Kivisto Field. Another drive stalled, another opportunity missed. It was a perfect microcosm of the game, if not the season, for the Kansas football team. on next week's game against instate rival Oklahoma, or the early kickoff time was a little too early for their liking, the Cowboys didn't quite play up to their No. 10 ranking. They tried their hardest to give the game away, making crucial mistakes throughout the first half with two personal fouls, a roughing the passer, and pass interference penalties, often keeping Kansas drives alive. The numerous Cowboy penalties didn't matter though, as the Jayhawks couldn't capitalize on any mistakes after the first quarter, gaining only 139 more yards in the final three quarters and failing to score. "We have to play smarter football," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said of his team's penalties. "We'll do everything we can to get those corrected."

COMMENTARY Brady will be a factor on offense and defense BY COREY THIBODEAUX ctibodeaux@kansan.com Brady's back. He didn't look exactly like himself in the first didn't look exactly like himself in the first few games, but his performance Friday showed that the oldest player in the Big 12 still had it in him. Before Friday, coach Bill Self said senior guard Brady Morningstar was not a point guard. Morningstar's career-high 10 assists in the 93-60 victory against North Texas said otherwise. But it wasn't just the passing. Morningstar hunkered down on defense, swiping four steals. He also hit three of his five shots, including a three-pointer, an element of his game that had been lacking this year. Self said it was good to see that three go down, Morningstar's second of the season. On defense, he was more aggressive and put himself in position with some nice footwork. "Brady looked like the old Brady." Self said. Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson made his return from disciplinary action Friday, so some guard minutes had to be purged from someone, possibly Morningstar. But he was put into the starting lineup for the first time all season and didn't relinquish any minutes, playing 26. And Morningstar should remain in the starting lineup. In fact, he and senior guard Tyrel Reed, who was in for 27 minutes, played more than anyone. Morningstar helped keep North Texas' Josh White to 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting after he exploded for 32 in his previous game against Texas Tech. Instead of having the most athletic players in to start the game with explosiveness, Morningstar can establish the tone with defense, which could send a bigger message. Reed can do the same. Junior forward Marcus Morris said after the game that Morningstar is the best defender he's seen. He knows where the ball is going to be and he will get straight up in your grill to poke it away or force a bad shot. "I can imagine how other people feel when he's guarding them," Morris said. But now there is a new development in the guard situation. Self made it apparent that Selby isn't just going to jump right in the starting five. He's going to have to beat someone out. By the looks of it, Self values the cerebral defensive players more than the flashy offensive players. Reed and Morningstar are going to be in the mix, that's for sure. And it hasn't shown yet, but those guys can make three As you should know by now, freshman guard Josh Selby is cleared to play, effective Dec. 18. We don't know what Selby can do, but he was recruited for those very reasons. He can defend and he can make shots. All we know is that he makes the Jayhawks better. "He's just going to be another weapon that nobody has seen yet," Morris said.

KU Athletics dad's side of the family is from Pittsburgh and my earliest memory is my great-grandmother cursing at the refs because they made a bad call. In my house Sundays were for Steelers, beer (or apple juice, in my case) and cards. MORNING BREW Chiefs make a good impression I'm sure I will always be a Pittsburgh fan, but I feel like the last season I've kind of cheated on my team. It all started at the end of July when I went to Chiefs training camp as part of my internship. don't know if anyone's noticed, but I'm a little bit of a Steelers fan. My family has It really was a blast. Chiefs fans are great and will even commute to St. Joseph to get a glimpse of what to expect for the season, even if the Chiefs' last season was less than ideal. And I was in the center of everything. I got to interview the players, go to the close practices, it was great. I still remember the first time I watched Dexter McCluster play. He was this little guy, shorter than I am, but I remember watching him beat Brandon Flowers in drills and thinking that he was going to be really good. Now if he could only stay healthy he could become one of the best players on the team. BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com The other big story was their first round pick. I remember when Eric Berry finally made his way to training camp. I wasn't sure what to expect, it seemed like he could have a case of hotshot-itis, but he was exactly the opposite. After his first day of practice he carried all of the veterans gear and stopped to talk to the press. He said he just wanted to help his team anyway he could. And he's proved it this season. Another quick story about Eric Berry is that after many of the games he stays and helps the workers clean out the locker room. He puts all of the chairs on the table. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but I don't know how many other first round THE MORNING BREW draft picks do that. It's the little side stories like that, which make covering the Chiefs so unique. Anyway, over the summer and going into the exhibition games and the regular season in was hard not to get attached to the team. And to top it off, they are actually winning, or at least more than last year. I'll always love my Pittsburgh Steelers, but now the Chiefs have worked their way into my NFL Sunday schedule as well. Edited by Tim Dwyer VOLLEYBALL Longhorns top the Jayhawks in four sets BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The Jayhawks avoided a sweep in Friday's match against the No. 8 Texas Longhorns, but fell short of making a comeback as Texas took the match 3-1 in Austin. In their previous meeting, the Longhorns swept the Jayhawks 3-0 in Lawrence. Junior setter Nicole Tate said the difference in the match for the Jayhawks amounted many moments of play where the team fell short of making plays. With three more matches to play, Kansas dropped to 16-13 overall, including 7-11 in Big 12 play. Texas extended its winnings streak to 13; including 24 straight Big 12 victories at home for a record of 21-5 and 16-2 in the Big 12. "She was definitely doing some damage against them," Tate said of Mayfield. "And they were having a hard time defending against her." Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield led Kansas with 18 kills and a .341 hitting efficiency. Senior outside hitters Jenna Kaiser and Karina Garlington followed with 17 and 11 kills, respectively. Tate helped Kansas maintain team attack percentages above .300 in each of the last three sets, recording 49 assists with three service aces and three blocks. Freshman Caroline Jarmoc led the blocking effort with six, including two solo rejections. Despite a good overall offensive performance, the Jayhawks could not match the Longhorns pace of scoring or hitting efficiency. The Longhorns offense did better. Texas senior Juliann Fauccette led the Longhorns with 26 kills and only five errors for a hitting efficiency of .396. Texas achieved attack percentages of .387 and .438 in the second and fourth set and out-blocked Kansas 11-10. Despite jumping ahead in the first set to an 8-5 lead, the Jayhawks were overwhelmed by the Longhorns' response and went down 25-16. In the second set, Kansas trailed from the beginning but made the set close with an improved .308 hitting efficiency and five kills from Kaiser. Jarmoc's solo block put the Jayhawks within a point at 22-21 but the Longhorns came out ahead 25-23. Tolefree and Mayfield kept the momentum going into the fourth set, scoring four points between them to put the Jayhawks ahead 5-1. With Garlington, the outside hitters kept Kansas ahead late into the set, still in the lead at 19-14. Garlington scored a kill at the opening of the third set and started an offensive run. Tate added a service ace and Mayfield contributed kills and a block together with sophomore Tayler Tolefree Kansas improved its offensive numbers in each successive set in the match. "We were competitive; wanted to beat Texas, but we fell short." to give Kansas a four-point lead which they maintained until the Longhorns tied the set at 20-20. Jarmoc made back-to-back blocks and Garlington scored two kills to win the set for the Jayhawks 26-24, pushing the contest to a fourth set. Texas senior Jennifer Doris and junior Amber Roberson came "I think everyone just stepped up." Tate said. back with a string of unanswered kills to tie the set at 19-19. Faucette kept the rally going with five kills in quick succession to win the set 25-23 and the finish the match 3-1 for Texas. The Jayhawks will play their final home match Wednesday, Nov. 24 against in-state rival Kansas State. In their previous meeting, Kansas lost 3-1 to Kansas State in the first match of conference play, in Manhattan. "I think this will really give us that competitive fire again, that you need at the end of the season," Tate said. She said the team was excited to play Kansas State and then Oklahoma on Saturday. "I think that's definitely the way to get some momentum going next week." Edited by Tim Dwyer NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS Late Jones-Drew touchdown gives Jags a win JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars won again in a dramatic finish with the help of another fortunate bounce. Maurice Jones-Drew followed a 75-yard reception with a 1-yard touchdown dive, and the Jaguars overcame six turnovers to beat the banged-up Cleveland Browns 24-20 on Sunday. Jones-Drew broke four tackles on a screen pass from David Garrard and weaved his way toward the end zone, with rookie Joe Haden making a touchdown-saving tackle that ended up taking precious seconds off the clock Jones-Drew scored two plays later with 1:16 left, giving both teams dramatic finishes for the second time in as many games. The jaguars (6-4) beat Houston last week on Garrard's desperation pass to Mike Thomas on the final play. The Browns (3-7) lost to the New York Jets in overtime on Santonio Holmes' 37-yard TD reception. Cleveland had a final chance to win this one. Jacksonville's Sean Considine tipped Colt McCoy's pass to Ben Watson at the goal line, but the pass bounced off Watson's chest and landed in Considine's arms. Thomas' 50-yard catch last week was tipped by a defender. The Browns surely will kick themselves after this loss. Phil Dawson missed two 51-yard field goal attempts, and Cleveland failed to take full advantage of Jacksonville's numerous mistakes. The Jaguars ended five consecutive drives with turnovers in the second half. Jones-Drew, whose first career pass was intercepted in the first half, started the sloppiness with a fumble following an 8-yard run. Abram Elam stripped the ball from Jones-Drew's hands and returned it 18 yards for a score and a 14-10 lead. Players on both sides watched the play unfold, many of them believing Jones-Drew was down or that his forward progress had been stopped. Garrard threw behind Thomas on the ensuing drive, and T.J. Ward intercepted the tipped pass. Cleveland did nothing, though. Things snowballed from there for Jacksonville. Under heavy pressure on the following possession, Garrard threw in double coverage.

"I putted well today and putted well all week," said Mallinger, who has eight top-three finishes but is winless since joining the PGA Tour in 2006. "I love Pebble Beach.

Associated Press KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 2010 / SPORTS 3B KANSAS 93, NORTH TEXAS 60 MEN'S BASKETBALL REWIND Second half run is big factor in win Win matches school's record home streak BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com For the entirety of the Bill Self era at Kansas, the Jayhawks have had a couple of staples. The first is being almost comically difficult to beat at home, as evidenced by the fact that Self has as many home losses (six) as Big 12 conference titles. Another is the Jayhawks' ability to buckle down for extended periods of time and taking opponents out of the game with debilitating runs. How fitting, then, as the Jayhawks blew past North Texas 93-60 to tie the school-record 62-game home winning streak, it was largely on the strength of a 31-8 run in the first 8:50 of the second half. "We couldn't withstand the run that they made and we never recovered from it," North Texas coach Johnny Jones said. "It was just a long night." Marcus Morris led the charge with 10 points in the first five minutes after the break. He finished the game with 20 points, 16 of them in the second half. "I got very fired up in the locker room," Morris said. "Coach told me that I needed to come out strong, and that the second half was my half and that I needed to get the team going." Morris picked up two fouls early and was largely ineffective in 10 minutes in the first half. Tyshawn Taylor and Markieff Morris dealt with the same issues, and despite the Jayhawks bolting to a 21-8 lead, the Mean Green trailed by just nine at the half. "I don't know if there was a real message, but I wasn't pleased at halftime," Self said. "You get a team down, you've got to finish them." While most of the Jayhawks' devastating runs are triggered by stringing together several defensive stands, the most impressive part of their 31-8 run against the Mean Green was the ridiculous shooting efficiency. The Jayhawks hit 12-of-13 shots — all five attempts from behind the three-point line and both free throws. "We are a good shooting team," Self said. "We just haven't shown it yet. It's nothing to get giddy over, but it's certainly the best we've played so far." Kansas will try to continue the streak Tuesday night against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Elijah Johnson, who finished with 11 points and zero turnovers in his first game of the season, said the Jayhawks felt like they needed to keep it going because of all the tradition that came before them.

Johnson plays well in his first game BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com Coach Bill Self said sophomore guard Elijah Johnson needed to perform better when it actually counted. In his first game of the season, Johnson took advantage of every opportunity when he was on the court. "It felt real good," said Johnson, who said it was kind of different from when he was cheering from the bench. Johnson learned to stay focused while he was not out on the court. In 17 minutes of work, Johnson scored 11 points and had zero turnovers. Self said he was pleased with Johnson's play. "Elijah played well" Self said. "Elijah was certainly a bright spot tonight." Self said was upset, however, with Johnson because he was people to get into position. "Coach Self said some stuff to me on the side," Johnson said. "He made it seem like it was a story for somebody else." "He should be yelling at himself to get into position before yelling at anybody else," Self said. "Elijah was certainly a bright spot tonight." Johnson, who was disciplined Johnson did play aggressively for his first game back.

"Whether this was the first game of the streak or the game to break the streak, it feels good, regardless, to play on the Fieldhouse court," Johnson said. Johnson was happy not only to get the win but also to be a part of the team that tied the school record for consecutive home wins, with 62. He said that the fan base has been very important. "I feel like it was something we owed them from before we were born," Johnson said. "Everybody cares about this program and it has great tradition." Edited by Clark Goble Game to remember Brady Morningstar: Morningstar got the starting nod because coach Bill Self said, essentially, that he just felt like starting Morningstar, despite his lackluster play in the first two games. Morningstar responded well with easily his best game of the season. The 47th-year senior (not really, it's just five years) had seven points, 10 rebounds and four steals. He also hit his first three of the season. FREDERICK HAMMOND Morningstar Game to forget Travis Releford: Releford lost his starting job — Self said he hadn't been blown away by Releford's play yet — and responded with what was probably his worst game of the season, at least statistically. He was 1-of-4 from the field and finished with four points and just one rebound and one assist against two turnovers. With Josh Selby coming back, the already crowded rotation of guards will add another body. Prime plays First Half 18:35: Tyrel Reed does a good job with help defense, getting back to block Shannon Shorten's shot. (4-2) 18:12: Tyshawn Taylor sets a nice backdoor pick for Markief Morris who is fed for the ally-oop from Brady Morningstar (6-2) 1:33: Jeff Withey slams home a missed Brady Morningstar runner. He makes Kansas' first field goal since the 11:24 mark. (33-23) Second Half 13:35: Back-to-back-back three pointers by Elijah Johnson, Brady Morningstar and Marcus Morris stretch the Kansas lead to 24. (57-33) 18:55: A steal by Reed, leads to a face break led by Morningstar, who dishes to Marcus for a two-handed slam. (40-27) Notes Josh Selby was cleared before the game. He is suspended for nine games and will return on Dec. 18 against Southern California. The win coupled with North Carolina's loss to Minnesota leaves both schools ranked second on the all-time NCAA victory list with 2,006 wins apiece. Key stat Kansas won its 62nd consecutive home game, tying the school record set from 1994-1998.

Pick lost his starting job to Webb after the season-opening loss against North Dakota State. "It was obviously a shock when they told me. I wasn't expecting it. On Tuesday's practice I got in there and made a few plays and got my feet wet. The more reps I took, I felt more confident and more comfortable feel for the game at their new positions was important to both players. McDougal said it took a little while to get used to being out there, but by the second or third drive, he was where he needed to be. On Monday Turner Gill talked to Pick about making the switch. On Tuesday he went with it. Pick is unsure whether or not this move will be permanent. He will take time this offseason and figure out what he wants to do. McDougall is fairly confident he has found a new home at safety. "It definitely gave me confidence. I got my feet wet right at the start," Pick said. The Jahawks debuted two players at new positions Saturday against Oklahoma State. Bradley McDougald moved from receiver to safety and Kale Pick switched from quarterback to receiver. Against Oklahoma State at the receiver position he had two catches. in the position," Pick said. "I would much rather be out there and try and make plays for our team and give us a chance to win, than be on the sideline," Pick said. "He came out and did a pretty good job. They are throwing a lot at him so I'm definitely back there saying, 'Hey, do this do this and making sure he gets in the right spot," defensive back Chris Harris said. McDougall spent some time at safety last season, and recorded five tackles and one interception. He tied for second on the team recording eight tackles (six of them solo tackles). "I probably feel like this will be my last move. I feel like if I have any chance of going to the next level it's going to be on the defensive side of the ball so I want to stay here," McDougal said. Getting into the mix early and getting a Pick is already known for being an athletic quarterback. Last season he rushed for 167 yards on 14 carries. Edited by Abby Davenport FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) in the third quarter. Whether is was the Cowboys' senior kicker Dan Bailey missing a pair of field goals, Kansas freshman cornerback Tyler Patton letting an interception slip through Harris his hands, or Omigie's crucial on third down, the third quarter was 15 minutes of missed opportunities for the Jayhawks. They caught Oklahoma State on an off-day for whatever reason, but were unable to make them pay for their mistakes. "Other teams have been coming out with a lot of corrections and making a lot of good plays (after halftime)," senior cornerback Chris Harris told reporters. "We had a couple of stops in the third quarter, we just have to put points on the board." Third quarters have been no blessing for Kansas this season, getting outscored by a combined 63 points through 11 games. And the trend continued Saturday. Ben Pirotte/KANSAN "We definitely had some confidence coming in and we came out and just kind of lost focus a bit," Meam said. "Their defense made some adjustments and it just didn't come out our way." Excluding the New Mexico State game, every week this year — even the wins — have been a struggle for the Jayhawks. Injuries haven't helped. Streaky quarterback play hasn't helped. Neither has lack of execution or timely penalties. A new nulty penalties. A new coaching staff certainly hasn't helped either. Whatever the problems have been, Harris hopes the returning players will continue to develop going into next season. "Hopefully they learn from this and work real hard in the offseason and come back next year," he said. "It is definitely a learning experience, it's good that they can learn from this and be ready for the future."

Quote of the Game "They played with a lot of heart and I'm proud to be their head football coach... They are good people, good football players and they will be very good in our society for the rest of their lives." —Turner Gill speaking of his group of seniors. Gill Offense After scoring on their opening drive, the Kansas offense disappeared in the final three quarters Saturday, failing to score while capturing only eight more first downs. Jordan Webb returned to the lineup in the fourth quarter, going 6-9 with no touchdowns. C. Defense The defensive unit held the high-flying Oklahoma State offense to only 20 points in the first half, keeping the Jayhawks in the game going into the third quarter. The second half was unforgiving, however, as the Cowboys scored another 28 points while cruising to another victory. C-. Special Teams Aaron Stamm's special teams unit was anything but pretty for Kansas fans to watch. Jacob Branstetter had a kick blocked in the third quarter. Alonso Rojas also had a third quarter punt blocked, which was subsequently returned five yards for a Cowboy touchdown. Kick returner D.J. Beshears was shut down as well, failing to return a kickoff more than 23 yards. D-. Coaching Kansas opened up the game with a 36-yard completion to Chris Omigie. A double reverse later in the drive resulted in a defensive pass interference penalty, and the Jayhawks later scored on that first drive. The risky play calling gradually died as the Jayhawks stayed in the game, and the conservative calls seemed to affect the offense the rest of the afternoon. B-. Turning Point Kory Carpenter - Omegie recorded three catches for 41 yards against the cowboys. Prior to the game, the redshirt freshman had three catches in his career. Game Notes - Kansas TE Tim Biere caught a 12-yard TD pass from Mecham in the first quarter. It marked KU's first opening drive TD of the season, and the first TD in the first quarter since the New Mexico State game. - In the third quarter, P Alonso Rojas recorded a 50-yard punt, wmcn gives him 12 punts of 50 or more yards this season. At least on in each game except for the Colorado game. - Kansas CB Chris Harris made 11 tackles in the game, marking the fourth time in the last five games that he has double digit numbers in tackles.

One part of Harry Potter that seems to be a fan favorite is the game of Quidditch. In fact, the game has become so popular that muggles have even started to play it. (For non-Harry Potter fans, a muggle is a non-magical person). Here at the University of Kansas, Doug Whiston, a sophomore from Quincy, Ill., first thought about forming a team about a year ago. The team has now been around for a month, and many of the players are new to the sport. Right now the team consists of five players, but it's always looking to expand members, said Nicole Denney, a sophomore from Shawnee. For those who don't know what Quidditch is, Whiston has the rules. It's similar to rugby. There hard hits, fast play, and no pads. The real-world version of Quidditch replaces mythical elements of the game with more attainable ones, such as replacing the quaffle for a volleyball and the snitch with a fast runner who has a sock tucked in his or her shorts. Throwing the quaffle through the three keeper's hoops makes 10 points, and catching the snitch makes 30 points. "But it's harder than it sounds," Whiston said. "The snitch can do anything, even commit fouls, to avoid capture." The team members had to get creative and find equipment for other elements of the game as well. They use brooms for bludgers, and the hula hoops represent the three goals at the end of each field. "We don't fly around but we run with them [broomsticks] between our legs," said Courtney Schmidt, a sophomore from Shawnee. "It looks really silly but it's all part of the fun." The game also requires a lot of physical activity. "We aren't just a bunch of Harry Potter nerds who have never played sports," said Jordan Dauer, a sophomore from Lee's Summit, Mo. "People won't realize how tough a game it is until they see it, so don't make any assumptions." Kansas' Quidditch team plays other schools from around the NCAA. In its last tournament, Kansas played Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Wichita State, Arkansas and Arkansas Tech. "We ended up winning three out of five games overall," said Cassie Slocum, a sophomore from Shawnee. Fans can check out the next Quidditch tournament in Arkansas later this month, and Kansas plans to host a tournament in the spring. The team applied online to become an official student organization at Kansas, and the Student Involvement and Leadership Center granted them that request on Nov. 9. For more information about the team, its members, and how to join, search "Kansas Quidditch" on Facebook.

The adapted game from Harry Potter is gaining popularity across the country with 226 schools currently registered in the Intercollegiate Quidditch Association. Jerry Wang/KANSAN NFL Bradford throws first pick, Rams lose ST.LOUIS — Not too many big plays for the Atlanta Falcons.An avalanche of little plays did the trick. "We'd like to score more touchdowns," Ryan said. "All in all, three points is good offensively." Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes and directed an offense so dominant that three St. Louis Rams defenders left with cramps in a 34-17 victory Sunday. All those chip-shot field goals added up, too. Sam Bradford had a pair of touchdown passes for the Rams and set an NFL rookie record with 169 consecutive passes without an interception. The streak ended when William Moore picked off a shovel pass at the 2 with 3:24 to go, snuffing a drive that could have made it a one-score game. "I wish it would have gone 98 (yards)." Moore said. "But overall it was just a huge play." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS It was the clincher as the Falcons (8-2) won their fourth in a row and ended the Rams' fourgame home winning streak.

She missed the first, but made the second, sending Kansas and Wisconsin into overtime, where the Jayhawks defeated the Badgers 93-86 in the Big 10/Big 12 Challenge. "It was fun actually. It was our first road game as a young team and it was just good to see us play through adversity and we all came together in the end and became a better team," sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said. The game changer for the Jayhawks was free throws down the line. Kansas shot 33-46 recording 71.7 percent accuracy. The Jayhawks made seven of eight free throws in overtime to seal their victory. "We got sent to the line a lot and we made some and missed some," Davis said. "But, we made them down the line and down the stretch when we needed to." Davis made four of these free throws in her 15-18 effort at the line. She finished the game with 29 points. For the second straight game Davis led the Jayhawks in scoring while shooting 7-9 from the field. She also added nine rebounds and three steals. "It feels good, we always talk about getting the ball inside and I was dominating today and I think my teammates found me," Davis said. Davis is leading the team with 63 points after three games and averaging impressed with Davis' performance throughout the game. 21 points per game. Davis is second in rebounding behind junior forward Aishah Sutherland. Coach Bonnie Henrickson was "I am proud of Carolyn Davis for "It feels good, we always talk about getting the ball inside and I was dominating today." CAROLYN DAVIS Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis for being that physical," Henrickson said. "She is a great run over the top. She can score over the top. It is a great challenge for her and for her to step up and handle that and score a couple and ones was great." Kansas faced an unfamiliar challenge Sunday night when it was outscored 42-34 in the paint. So far this season, the Jayhawks have been dominant down low and have had height and length advantages. "They were way more physical than we are used to playing against and we haven't had any matchups like that so it was a different defensive game today, but I think it was a good challenge for us," Davis said. All of the elements that made this game difficult are chances for the Jayhawks to improve throughout the season. "I think that this win really showed us how tough we can be and I think it is good for us now, early in the season," Davis said. "It challenged us, but now we know what we can expect from each other and that we can win tough games" Wisconsin head coach Lisa Stone was impressed with the Jayhawks and how they played especially in the end of the game. "Kansas is a very good team, they're going to have a great year, I wish them the best, and this is a great game for us," Stone said. "This is what we need. We need to be tested like this. Obviously we're not happy we came up on the short end, but our kids really played hard and I'm really proud of them." — Edited by Anna Nordling NFL Packers take charge of rivalry over Vikings ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — If this were indeed Brett Favre's final Packers-Vikings game, Aaron Rodgers sure made it clear who's in charge of this rivalry right now. Rodgers threw for 301 yards, with three of his four touchdown passes going to Greg Jennings. He beat Favre for the second time this season and sent Green Bay to a 31-3 victory over melting-down Minnesota on Sunday. The Packers (7-3) emerged fresh from their bye week and kept pace in the NFC North race with the Chicago Bears (7-3), ruining any realistic hope the Vikings (3-7) had left to give Favre another shot at a playoff run in his 20th NFL season. "I hate to use Jim Mora's comments about playoffs, but we can't think about that," Favre said. "I can't really talk about that, because that's not my decision going forward." Childress said. Instead, this 100th meeting between these border-state rivals, likely the last for the 41-year-old Favre, was marked by costly turnovers, untimely penalties and even some sideline shouting by the frustrated Vikings to cast further doubt on coach Brad Childress's future with the team. the Vikings quit, but some players wondered aloud whether everyone's effort was there. "The score could indicate that, but again without watching the film I don't know," Favre said. Favre insisted he's committed to the team despite failing to directly answer questions about whether he wants to finish the season. "I'm here, and we're in this thing together." Favre said. Tramon Williams intercepted Favre to stop a long Vikings drive, and Rodgers took the Packers the other way for a touchdown to James Jones in the final minute of the first half to give the visitors a 17-3 lead. Favre and close friend Darrell Bevel, the offensive coordinator, were seen on TV snapping at each other on the sideline after the interception. The "Go Pack Go!" cry from the Wisconsin transplants and travelers greed louder as the game on, with Vikings fans getting in a few "Fire Childress!" chants for good measure. The coach said he didn't think "I need to say a big thank you to our fans," Rodgers said. Wide receiver Sidney Rice made his season debut for the Vikings after missing the first nine games following hip surgery, finishing with three catches for 56 yards. 785-899-3200 • 935 IOWA STE 3 the spectacle eyewear center 50% OFF ALL SUNGLASSES INCLUDING PRESCRIPTION LENSES Some exclusions apply.

Chiefs hold first place in AFC West ASSOCIATED PRESS Once considered a big disappointment, Bowe caught two touchdown passes to help the Chiefs remain unbeaten at home with a 31-13 victory over the fading Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dwayne Bowe is beginning to live up to expectations, and the Kansas City Chiefs now have themselves a pretty good wide receiver. Bowe set a team record with at least one score in six straight games, with 563 yards receiving and 10 touchdown catches during the span. With the win, the Chiefs (6-4) took sole possession of first place in the AFC West. The Raiders fell to 5-5 after losing to the Steelers.

The Cardinals, struggling to replace key departed players such as Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin and line- Jacker Karlos Dansby, are also in danger of finishing below 500 for the first time under Whisenhunt. Bowe caught scoring passes from Matt Cassel of 1 and 38 yards. Jones scored on runs of 1 and 3 vards. Bowe's emergence as a confident, consistent wide receiver is becoming one of the biggest success stories of the year for Kansas City. The Cardinals got their only touchdown, a 3-yard TD catch by Larry Fitzgerald, on the final play of the game. Bowe's emergence as a confident, consistent wide receiver is becoming one of the biggest success stories of the year for Kansas City. A first-round pick in 2007, he wound up with 109 yards for the day and figured in just about every scoring drive. He got every yard of a 38-yard march for Kansas City's initial touchdown, first with a catch over the middle in which he fought to the 1. Then, after two running plays failed, the former LSU star got free in the end zone for the 1-yard TD catch from Cassel. Cassel converted twice on third down in a third quarter drive, hitting Jamaal Charles for 11 yards on one play and connecting with Bowe for 14 yards on third-and-3 from the 43. Jamaal Charles got loose on a 39-yard run to set up Jones' second TD. A personal foul penalty on Arizona linebacker Gerald Hayes of 15 yards gave the Chiefs' second TD drive a boost. Cassel also hit Charles over the middle for 19 yards Until Derek Anderson's TD pass to Fitzgerald, the Cardinals managed field goals by Jay Feely of 36 and 29 yards. With 4:20 left in the game, Bowe got open in the secondary, caught the ball on the 18, twisted away from tacklers and danced into the end zone. before Jones took it in from the I for a 14-3 lead. Cassel was 15 of 24 for 193 yards. Anderson was 25 of 46 for 295 yards.

According to a study from the National Institute of Health, the average American gains a pound during the holidays. Matt Dickey, a junior from Wichita, said he usually doesn't worry about the amount of food he eats during the holiday season. "Counting calories and holidays don't count." Dickey said. "It is a holiday from your diet." A pound gained during each holiday season can potentially add up, said Ann Chapman, a dietitian at the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "That may not sound like a lot, but if you figure every year of your life, in 10 years, you've put on 10 pounds just because of the holidays," Chapman said. Overeating one day out of the year does not necessarily equal weight gain though, Chapman said. Chapman also said reducing the amount of ingredients people put in their foods could make a huge difference. For example, someone could use a small amount of butter in mashed potatoes, and instead put extra butter on the table so people could add it later. Eating a high-protein snack, such as string cheese or a small apple, two hours before the meal could also help prevent binge eating. "If you eat that an hour or two before the meal, when it comes time to eat, you're hungry but you're not ravenous," Chapman said. When dinnertime arrives, Chapman suggested that students load up their plates with low-calorie items, such as fruits and vegetables, and take smaller portions of more high-calorie foods, such as dressing and gravy. However, she said students should not be afraid to splurge a little to eat a few of their favorite foods that only come around once a year. "There are things you really associate with childhood memories that mean more to you, like your grandmother's pecan pie. Have a slice of that," Chapman said. "But if there are foods at the meal that aren't the special, don't eat those and indulge in the ones that are." Natalie Meyer, a junior from Wichita, said one of her favorite things about the holidays is bringing home-cooked meals back to Lawrence. "I am a starving college kid after all." Meyer said. could play a role in weight gain, unless individuals took the time to exercise daily. "I think we view the holidays as a time to be lazy, and that's fine, but you should take 45 minutes out of the day to get your heart pumping." Chapman said. She suggested working in some kind of activity during the day, such as playing flag football or throwing a Frisbee.

Ermal Garinger, the namesake of the Ermal Garinger Academic Resource Center and former director of the KU Language Laboratories, died Friday. THE JUDGE Garinger served as the director of the KU Language Laboratories from 1965 until 1987, when he retired. The lab was renamed for him after his retirement. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement that Garinger's work left "a lasting impact on generations of KU language scholars." Jonathan Perkins, the current director of EGARC, said in a University press release that Garinger saw the development of the lab during his 22 years as director and that he would be remembered for his dedication. "He was a pioneer in the use of technology in language learning and a leader in language education in the state of Kansas," Perkins said in a statement. STATE Kansas gives Four Loko last call BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com Kansas joined a handful of other states this afternoon in banning caffeinated alcoholic beverages. A press release from the Kansas Department of Revenue states that all flavors of Four Loko, Four Maxed, Joose and Max are no longer legal for sale or distribution in the state. This comes after the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that caffeine was an "unsafe food additive" in these Freda Warfield, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said that as of Monday, no cans of those four products can be sold in Kansas. "Honestly, I think they should be banned," she said. "I don't think alcohol and energy drinks should be mixed." beverages. Thomas W. Groneman, director of the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said in a letter to retailers that he is recalling the products because the mix of caffeine and alcohol "can place an undue strain on the heart and central nervous system, cause dehydration, and hinder the body's ability to metabolize alcohol." Warfield also said that when Phusion Projects, the company that produces Four Loko, reformulates its product to contain no caffeine, the ban will be reviewed. Emler said she thought beverages like Four Loko are unsafe because some people don't understand the effect that large quantities of caffeine and alcohol can have on a person's body. Zack Mingo, a junior from Garden City, said he's upset to hear about the ban. When money is low at the end of the month, he said, he appreciated only having to spend a few dollars on a can of Four Loko. But he said he wasn't surprised that Kansas banned the products. — Edited by Roshni Oommen Distributors must retrieve cans of unsold products from retailers no later than Dec. 1. Quinn Emler, a sophomore from Wichita, said she agrees with the state's decision. "I sort of expected something would happen here," he said.

The Gonzaga funeral home says it has started streaming video of burials, masses and funeral processions in real time. Funeral home director Eres Gonzaga told The Associated Press on Monday it charges about $60 an hour, depending on the service. Associated Press ODD NEWS Some turkeys have reason to be thankful and relieved ASSOCIATED PRESS Bina Ahmad hugged an old friend this weekend — a turkey named Opal she first met five years ago. "She's a lot older and chunkier now but she's still so beautiful," said Ahmad, a vegan who joined hundreds of people over the weekend to feed turkeys their own Thanksgiving feast. Ahmad spent Saturday at a turkey-hugging Thanksgiving event in Poplar Farms animal sanctuary in Poolesville, Md., where she kissed turkeys and fed them割 of grain, bread and grapes. Similar turkey-honoring events are taking place in animal shelters across the country this week. "It's an alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving and it's really inspiring for thousands of people," Ahmad said. And Opal? "She loves the attention." Four-time NBA championship winner John Salley was also hugging turkies on Saturday at a 300-acre sanctuary in California run by an animal advocacy group Farm Sanctuary. "I was invited to a meat-free Thanksgiving party in the Hollywood Hills. Pamela Anderson was there and they had this live turkey walking around in the front garden. That's when it really hit me — I got more of a kick out of meeting this turkey than I ever would from eating it." On Saturday, Salley and hundreds of others ate a meat-free Thanksgiving dinner and fed cranberries and pumpkin to the shelter's resident turkeys. "This time of year, I love to hug turkeys," said Salley, who first became interested in saving the birds seven years ago and no longer eat meat. "It's so much fun for me," said Salley, "just playing with them makes me happier than any Thanksgiving dinner ever could." Most turkey-feeding events are happening pre- Thanksgiving so that Ahmad, Salley and hundreds of others can return to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. And for some of these turkey-huggers, the family reunion can be uncomfortable. "I love my family very much and it's great to see them at Thanksgiving, even though it really, really pains me to see the turkey on the table," said Ahmad. Even the president's annual pardoning of turkeys, which takes place at the White House on Wednesday, doesn't escape criticism. "I think it's really in bad taste," said Jenny Brown of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. "The pardon might be amusing to the public but hundreds of millions of birds deserve that same deal." Woodstock threw its Thanksgiving event in October when the weather was better and the Catskill leaves were changing color, which helps attract guests. "The turkeys were wandering around among us, just like dogs would. It was unbelievable," said Jasmin Singer, who attended the event. "My 86-year-old grandmother went vegetarian this year, so that was the last holdout. Now there's no turkey. My brother eats meat but he's a thousand miles away. When he turns up for family Singer, executive director of Ourhenhouse.org, an animal advocacy website, is one of the few among her turkey-hugging friends who will not be seeing a family turkey on the table this Thanksgiving. dinners, he's the odd one out," she said. Most turkey-hugging celebrations are happening within days of Thanksgiving. "It's always fun. When the guests come for Thanksgiving, the turkeys look at them sideways, trying to figure them out. If they trust you, they love to be petted. They become like family," said Lorri Houston, founder of Animals Acres in Acton, Calif. Houston is likely the inventor of the turkey-petting Thanksgiving, having first organized one in 1986, after she co-founded Farm Sanctuary and was living in a row house in Wilmington, Del. "It was coming up to Thanksgiving and I remember saying: 'This is a sad festival for turkey lovers, unless we turn it on its head and feed the turkeys.' Now there are turkey-feeding Thanksgivings all over the country." So what about middle-of the road meat eaters who think turkeys are cute? May they attend turkey-friendly Thanksgivings? "Absolutely," said Houston, who held the Animal Acres $35 a head. Thanksgiving dinner and Turkey feeding event on Saturday. "This isn't just about preaching to the convert. Come and see these beautiful birds, make that connection yourself. They love humans and cuddle up you to like cats." For Smalley, who said he is vegan for his own health as much as for the birds, the conversion to turkey love can be gradual. "I never thought I would love them, but they just grow on you," he said. "There's no way I could enjoy Thanksgiving now unless the turkey is having a good time too." t f f Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan_News, or become a fan of The University Daily Kansan on Facebook.

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey lawmakers have approved what advocates say will be the nation's toughest laws to fight bullying in institutions of learning. It would require anti-bullying programs in public schools and language in college codes of conduct to address bullying.The measure would update a law on the books since 2002. The bill has been in the works for some time but gained attention after the high-profile suicide of Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi. He killed himself in September after his roommate allegedly spied on his liaison with a man on a webcam. The Republican governor has not said whether he would sign the bill, but he spoke out against bullying after Clementi's death. Associated Press LEGACY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) more family members made the trip from Colombia to Lawrence, including recently-elected Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. Luis son, Luis, Jr., now lives in Lawrence and his granddaughter, Alexandra, is the third generation to attend the University. Santos stopped by The Kansan recently and talked about what drew him to Lawrence, the family-owned media company celebrating its centennial birthday in January and how his family has balanced that with having a Santos become president of its country. Kansan: When you decided to study in the United States, what made KU your choice? Santos: When I mentioned at a very young age that I wanted to study journalism, my father and my uncle used to say "Aah, you don't have to study journalism, you're born with it," or "You get your hands full of ink" — that was the comment. And I insisted, "No, I want to give it a try. I want to give it a try, I want to study journalism overseas." And I started looking for different options. At the time there was no Internet. There was a big book and you just went through all the pages and try to get information. I had preselected Syracuse, Marquette, Missouri and Kansas from what I had read in these catalogues of the universities at the time. And by coincidence there was a meeting of United Press Correspondents in Bogota and I got to meet a lot of professional journalists. I was still in high school at the time and I started asking them, "Where would you recommend me to go?" Several of them were very aware with the William Allen White School of Journalism and they said, "Look, that's a good place to go. Lawrence is a great place." I had never been to Kansas. The only reference I had of Kansas was "The Wizard of Oz." Kansan: What kept your family coming back after you graduated? Santos: When I came to KU my freshman experience in the dorms and the sports and the university environment that I found here, plus the friendliness of the Kansan people was such that I said, "Look, I'm just having a wonderful time, if you're thinking about studying overseas you should give it a try here at Kansas." So they started coming here and they certainly loved it. Kansan: How has your family avoided a conflict of interest with family in media and government? to manage the situation of family members in government. It's been difficult. The family as a whole understood that what we had to do was defend the newspaper and we could do nothing to prevent these persons from going into government. They weren't in government representing any of the interests of the newspapers. They complained that newspapers were much more severe with them than with other politicians, which was truthful in the sense that we wanted to send a message. But it was something that we had to live with. And I think we managed rather well. Santos: It's been difficult. It's been difficult because the whole purpose of the company is to acquire credibility and that your readers or your TV viewers and your audiences understand that you're trying to be as impartial as possible as fair as possible in your coverage of the news. This is something my father and my uncle had worked very hard to do because in the 40s and the 50s, newspapers in Colombia were totally politicized. Party newspapers instead of independent newspapers. El Tiempo made a big effort to become independent, not party affiliated. If you had to criticize the government, you criticized the government. The first thing that happened to us is that Juan Manuel who had worked overseas came to work at El Tiempo, and while he was working at El Tiempo he received an offer to be the first minister of commerce. So when he accepted that he was going into politics it was quite a shock. It was very rough. A lot of family conflicts. We accepted that he had the right to do it, couldn't tell him not to do it. From that moment on there was a rule in the family that whoever went into politics would never come back to the newspaper ever. And he was immediately cut off from all the meetings. He could not be on the board of directors and attend family meetings where business was the subject and that was accepted by the family. I think we managed it rather well. It wasn't easy. We've had Kansan: Colombia, like Mexico today, suffered much drug cartel-related violence in the 1990s. How did the media handle this and how might Mexican media learn from this? Santos: They bombed the building of El Espectador, which was the No. 2 newspaper. They killed the editor of El Espectador. They kidnapped the managing editor of El Tiempo. They put bombs in a lot of newspapers but they never silenced newspapers. What newspapers did in agreement very rapidly is that every bit of news that had to do with the cartels and the drug lords would be published in every single newspaper and nobody signed it. So we took away the names to protect the reporters and every newspaper said we would print it on the front page or wherever. It was a massive situation so they couldn't pinpoint one newspaper or the other and it worked quite well. Kansan: What was the first place you went to eat when you last visited Lawrence? Santos: That's a good question. One of the beautiful things about Lawrence is it has maintained its feel and look. Last time I came I told my son to take me to Pizza Hut and we went to Pizza Hut but I ordered a beer and they did not have beers! I was really depressed that they did not have beer at Pizza Hut. -Edited by Leslie Kinsman 10 2 9 3 8 4 7 5 6 Quintiles has a study with a three night clinical stay and three follow-up visits.

"Then, you're kind of like a part of the family and have a home away from home." But unlike most KU students, Salcedo couldn't go home during breaks, because his home is in Ecuador. Galo Salcedo knows what it means to be homesick in college. "Breaks are really hard for international students, because they don't have a place to be when everyone else is home with their families," said Salcedo, an alumnus of the University. Salcedo is now the program director of International Student and Scholar Services and coordinates the Thanksgiving Homestay Program. "I try to find the best fit for everyone," said Salcedo. "Some families want students from certain parts of the world, or that speak certain languages." This year, more than 30 students applied for the program and The Thanksgiving Homestay Program serves as an alternative to staying on campus over Thanksgiving weekend.The program takes applications from international students and local families, and then matches students with homes to go to for the Thanksgiving holiday. Because most of the dorms close over break, international "We don't have this food in other countries," said Pears. "There were lots of strange pumpkin pie type things. It was alright, actually." Candice Pears, a junior from York, England, had her first taste of Thanksgiving at Mrs. E's dining hall. Although the application deadline has already passed for the Homestay Program, Salcedo encourages KU students to reach out to their international classmates or for friends for the holidays. "We don't have Thanksgiving in other countries, so it's great that everyone wants to help out," said Salcedo. "Everyone is so generous. I think when they actually get to experience it, international students really enjoy this holiday." "It brings a new excitement to the holiday, because this will break our family's normal routine," said McNorton. "We will get to share it with someone who has never experienced it before." In past years, Salcedo says, students had to be turned down from the program because there were not enough families to host them. This year, every student will be matched with a family. 24 families applied to host them. Kourtney McNorton, a sophomore from Topeka, will be hosting a foreign exchange student with her family this year. students must find a living alternative for the long weekend. If students stay at the University, according to the Department of Housing, they move from their residence hall to McCollum Hall, and an additional charge is added to their Enroll & Pay. "We kind of have to rely on Americans, since they are the ones with homes here," said Pearls. "I know some kids are going to Chicago and St. Louis, so they're going to stick together." Edited by Roshni Oommen "It is incredibly lonely, to be just sitting in a dorm alone while everyone else goes home," said Salcedo. Pears, who is going to a friend's house in Overland Park for the break, said many international students go on vacations or spend time together during breaks. 2010 LAS VEGAS INVITATIONAL IBN SPORTS Catch this game and the rest of the Las Vegas Invitational tournament LIVE KU Don't miss your Jayhawks mens Basketball LIVE!

Kevin Cook MOVIES 'Love & Other Drugs' revives genre of romantic comedy MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE For the past few years, fans of romantic comedy have had bitter pills to swallow. From J-Lo's "The Back-Up Plan" to nearly anything with Jennifer Aniston in it, the once-buyant genre has become limp and boring, hamstrum by an assemblyline mentality toward filmmaking that regards originality as if it were Nancy Pelosi at a Sarah Palin pep rally. So let's give thanks for, and bestow a big smooch on, the risk-taking ways of "Love & Other Drugs." The passionate dramedy about the combustible relationship between pharmaceutical salesman Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal) and artist/care worker Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway) is just the antidote the romantic comedy has desperately needed. It's sexy, it's funny, its sexy, it's sad, and, oh my, it is over sexy. It's also imperfect, and at its best whenever director and co-screenwriter Edward Zwick keeps the focus on his flawed lovebirds' tumultuous relationship and shows Zwick has proved time and again he's a master at dealing with characters who are a hot mess, from TV's "thirtysomething" to 1986's "About Last Night" with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore. In fact, elements from the very good "Night" echo throughout "Love & Other Drugs," including the love-to-love theme and the rampant nudity of its luscious leads. us how it evolves from dynamite sex to real love. Yet Zwick's ambition is bigger here. Although you couldn't tell it from the chirpy trailer, the drama boldly tackles the drug industry and touchingly depicts a person — and then a couple — dealing with the early stages of Parkinson's disease. Not that it completely works. Zwick's film occasionally suffers from ADD and scampers off into too many directions for its own good. More often than not, though, he mixes the comedy with the drama and the emotion effectively. Most certainly his two leads do. Zwick, along with co-screenwriters Charles Randolph and Marshall Herskovitz, have loosely adapted Jamie Reidy's tell-all book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman," retaining the stinging commentary on the pharmaceutical business and expanding on it by creating the character of Maggie. who's luminous and touchy as an acerbic woman whose affliction has made her emotionally wall out everyone around her. The fiery Maggie meets a formidable match in Jamie, a bedroom-eyed charmer who can woo anyone into a tumble. But it's Maggie, not Jamie, who initiates the canoodling after they meet in a doctor's office. Darling, my idea of cramming is eating two double burgers at The Wheel the day before a final. Like Hathaway, Gyllenhaal is a perfect fit for his part. His character Jamie might exude confidence and the promise of great sex, but underneath the tailored suit and slicked-back hair lies a decent guy who doesn't have a clue about who he is. Gyllenhaal is a natural at playing this carefree boy-man, his smile always in full bloom, masking the fears that hide inside. It's a juicy part for Hathaway, LIBRITY HALL accessibility info 644.749-1912 (785) 749-1972 JACK GOES BOATING 4:40 7:10 9:30 WAITING FOR SUPERMAN (PG) 4:30 7:00 9:20 2 for 1 admission tonight! Interspersed in this romance, Zwick skewers the pharmaceutical industry, capturing the outlandishness of a Vegas-style boot camp for new sales recruits, while showing us the addictive and highly sexual nature of being part of the biz. On the downside, the writers overexert themselves trying to reveal so many aspects of Big Pharm, by creating secondary characters such as Hank Azaria's unscrupulous doc who takes freebies in exchange for sexual hookups, and Gabriel Macht as Jamie's Prozac-touting nemesis. Both come off like props, and make you aware that the movie's a bit of a soapbox. But ultimately it's the chemistry — that old-fashioned key ingredient in any successful love story — that fires up "Love & Other Drugs" and reduces minor quibbles to ash.

According to Deadline, Disney is launching a bona fide campaign, creating ads that will associate "Toy Story 3" characters with Oscar winners for animated films: Disney's 1937 "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and Pixar's 1995 "Toy Story." They also produced the only animated films to be nominated for best picture: Disney's 1991 "Beauty and the Beast," and Pixar's "Up, released last year. "Up" didn't stand a chance against the eventual winner, the heavyweight war drama "The Hurt Locker." The competition this year, however, seems slimmer, with few obvious Oscar gorillas.

EDITORIAL Brownback's support of education not enough When Sam Brownback was elected to replace Mark Parkinson as When Sam Brownback was elected to replace Mark Parkinson as Kansas' next governor on Nov. 2, he made higher education a top priority. But his current tax position puts him at odds with providing public universities with state funding. More clarification is needed from Brownback on his position. In his "Road Map for Kansas," Brownback said his goal for higher education was to "stabilize funding so our public universities remain strong to power a robust 21st century Kansas economy," and some of his more specific goals focus on the biosciences such as getting the National Cancer Institute designation at the University of Kansas Cancer Center and improving the rankings of the University of Kansas School of Medicine. While these are good goals for the state, it is uncertain how Brownback will be able to provide public universities with the state funding needed to achieve them Brownback is opposed to an increase in taxes and said he plans to stabilize state funding for high education by increasing the revenue of state taxes. By keeping taxes low and reducing regulation, he plans to create a business environment that will promote growth. But is this plan realistic? If his plan doesn't create enough revenue, Brownback will either be forced to make more cuts or go against his current position and raise taxes. Brownback needs to clarify what exactly his plan is to increase state revenue through taxes without raising them or creating new ones. Another troubling action Brownback has made toward higher education is his lack of support for the "Kansas Commitment," a proposal to increase state funding by $50.4 million. According to a Nov. 2 article in The Kansan, Tom Holland, the democratic candidate who Brownback defeated by 27 percentage points (62 percent to 35 percent), endorsed the commitment after he received a letter from the student body presidents at the six regents universities urging him to do so. Brownback was sent the same letter and did not support the proposal. This lack of support questions Brownback's commitment to providing much-needed funding to higher education institutions. Even in a time of economic turmoil, higher education needs to be a top priority for the state. With a budget that has been slashed, higher education institutions across the state are facing extreme cuts and they need more funding In his "Road Map For Kansas," Brownback promised that within the "first month, we will have an encompassing, integrated plan to meet the needs of our time." That deadline is fast approaching and in that plan Brownback needs to clarify where he stands on providing more funding for higher education and his current tax position. -Kate Larrabee for The Kansan Editorial Board CARTOON Happy Thanksgiving! Joy Junction ENJOY GRANDMAS WARM COOKING! MARIAM SAIFAN GUEST COLUMN Step 1 to stopping drunk texts - admit you have a problem You'd be hard pressed to find a college student — or high school or middle school student, for that matter — who has not heard of (and downloaded the iPhone app for) Texts From Last Night, a website that posts funny drunk texts submitted by users, complete with ratings and comments. While hilarious, the website (and book that followed) glorifies the poor decision-making that goes hand-in-hand with alcohol. Once upon a time, in a land far, far removed from our own, there were only drunken face-to-face conversations. Then came drunk phone calls, and then things escalated from there: Drunk texting, drunk Tweeting and drunk Facebook have all become common sources of shocked embarrassment the morning after The fact that social networking has become a platform for expressing our inebriated voices is disturbing. What's more disturbing is that we've allowed it to become a cultural phenomenon. The increasing prevalence of smartphones has only made it easier for us to humiliate ourselves. Constant Internet access means drunk Facebook statuses, wall posts and chatting, drunk tweets and even drunk e-mails (likely the least common because e-mail is so, like, 2003). Ours is a culture that is obsessed with sharing our lives through social networking — and ours is a generation that is drunk on it. This trend has reached epidemic proportions, as evidenced by the Social Media Sobriety Test, a free Firefox extension. The Test allows users to pick their social networking websites of choice and complete simple tasks (like dragging the cursor in a straight line) in order to gain access to their own accounts. Upon visiting SocialMediaSobrietyTest.com, one is greeted with the warning "Nothing good happens online after 1 a.m." On the right-hand side of the page, there is a Twitter feed with the title "Avoidable Posts From Last Night," which displays a stream of blatantly drunken tweets (though when they were posted and whether they are real is unclear). On the one hand, we are acknowledging our little alcohol/ Internet problem. On the other hand, we are trusting a computer's judgment over our own. Webroot, the company that makes the Social Network Sobriety Test, "believes in protecting you in every aspect of your life." Remember the days when computer security systems protected us from hackers and viruses? Now, they're protecting us from ourselves. We've decided that social networking under the influence is a problem outside our control, so we're asking someone else to fix it for us. This won't eradicate drunk Facebook statuses — we're experts at circumventing the system. If we're drunk and have something we want to say, we will find a way to say it. The first step is admitting it. "Hi, my name is ___, and I am a drunk social networker." Then, instead of relying on a computer application, take the steps to break the addiction on your own terms — for good. — From UWIRE. Madeline Paumen for The Washington Square News at New York University. LEFT SIDE Democrats lose footing but still have to hold on the election came and went and it didn't go too I went and it didn't go too well for Team Blue, as you no doubt already know. The sweep wasn't completely shattering, however; the Democrats did keep the Senate and the vile Sharron Angle lost. These are no small things to be sure, and you can bet I was thank- ing my lucky stars in the early hours that Wednesday morning. What to make of the election? Clearly, voters didn't know what they were getting into. It's been said that most brilliant thing the right has done is to trick average Americans into voting against their own interests. What is it going to take for people to understand that Republicans in power are, to put it delicately, not concerned about most of the population? This is the party, remember that blocked the extension of unemployment benefits numerous times in the past year on the basis that they weren't paid for. They chose to forget that this sort of economic stimulus/emergency assistance money isn't usually immediately offset, hence calling it an emergency. This is also the party that, in March, blocked a reauthorization for funding the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. To name just one more thing (and there are many) this is also the party that would much more readily cut funding for already weak and vulnerable student aid, veterans' benefits, and food stamps than defense. While the Republican Party has its problems, the Democrats aren't that great either. They too are all funded by corporations, and those in power are also mostly rich white guys. Yes. I get it. But, as Bill Maher put so well, better a disappointing friend than a deadly enemy. It is worth noting that some Democrats tend to care about the underprivileged. They tend to not want to heap more benefits on the super rich. Sometimes, they acknowledge the fact that inequality exists in this country. They tend to realize that the federal government has an important role to play in things like public aid. They are sometimes, but not all the time, actively in favor of expanding civil rights. They are often willing to compromise. They even occasionally propose things that would benefit the economy—see, for example, food stamps and Progressive Perspective Amaru BY ALI FREE afree@kansap.com public infrastructure projects. public infrastructure projects. Sometimes, they even act upon these concerns, and results benefit people. All people? Probably not. True democratic policies aren't going to do much for the extremely, unbelievably rich. But I can handle that—that's not going to be me, or you, or hardly any of us. I'd rather have policies that benefit my own interests, and especially the kinds of policies I know I could count on if I or my family ever landed on hard times. I'd like to be able to trust the government to help my family get through if my stepfather lost his job. Call me selfish Will people realize that when their benefits are cut and their quality of life decreases or fails to increase, it is not entirely the President's fault? That the left fought to improve the economy and peoples' lives? Will people realize the consequences of their actions? The next two years will be rough. I predict a sluggish economy and, if the House has anything to do with it, little advancement in civil rights. How did I come to these conclusions? Well, for one, shortly after they were elected, new Republican governors joined other Republican leaders in vowing to kill a high speed rail that would have provided jobs using stimulus money and linked several Midwestern cities together. And on Nov. 17, Republicans in the Senate voted unanimously to defeat legislation that would narrow the pay gap between women and men. I want to encourage my fellow disappointed liberals to not give up. Don't disappear, don't become jaded. Keep calling your representatives and senators, keep paying attention to the news, keep talking with friends and family members. Yes, things are going to be dishearening for a while, but it will be all the worse if we leave the picture entirely. (4) Free is a sophomore from Blue Springs, Mo., in women's studies. A.

The Jayhawk Buddy System, which began this month, is the latest effort made by the University to curb the problem. The new program encourages students to stay with a 'buddy' while drinking. Colleges and surrounding communities that team up to combat alcohol abuse have been met with some success, according to a recent press release for a study funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse. The study tested the effectiveness of 14 California public universities' alcohol abuse prevention programs and will be published next month in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine. Its findings in some ways reaffirm the concerted effort made by the University and city organizations in recent years to promote safer drinking habits among students. THE UNIVERSITY After two alcohol-related deaths in early 2009, the University has been pushing for more responsible student drinking. Beginning in the semester after these deaths, incoming students who were 21 or younger were required to take an online alcohol education course. And the University already had SafeBus and SafeRide, which are available at night for KU students who need a ride home. The Jayhawk Buddy System debuted Nov. 1. Similar to the successful universities in California, it focuses on off-campus drinking, since the University has a dry campus. Molly Kretzer, a senior from Wichita, was on a team that came up with the Jayhawk Buddy System. Her team was one of six that did research on responsible-drinking campaigns at campuses across the nation in associate professor of journalism Bob Basow's campaigns class. Kretzer said that KU students go to bars more often than those at other universities, probably because of the strict dry campus rules. Her class also found that students respond better to positive messages — not preaching or scare tactics. She said the best option was a blend was a positive message coupled with strict enforcement, a sort of good copbad cop routine. Those two elements — a publicized campaign and more enforcement — were the two key factors to preventing alcohol abuse, according to the California study. "We didn't just say, 'Give us your best ideas.' We said. 'Go out and research what works,' said Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost of student success and customer of the campaigns class. THE COMMUNITY One of the most important aspects of success of the schools in the California study was that the universities weren't alone, but got support from the community and local law enforcement. "It has to be a multi-faceted approach," DeSalvo said. "No single thing will work." The GaDuGi SafeCenter, Douglas County's rape crisis center, created the Safe Bar Alliance over the summer. It's a coalition of bars, restaurants, and taxi services who have agreed to keep an eye out for their patrons' health. "It's not just a title," Kretzer said. "It's something they must do." Kretzer, who also is working with the alliance, said the companies who sign up are obligated to stop harassment and help drunk people find a safe ride home, and bartenders even have to know the phone number to a taxi, "instead of being a bystander." Kretzer said seven bar owners communicated with her campaigns class from its start, and she is trying to recruit as many Lawrence bars to join the alliance as she can. "It's just going to take time," she said. DeSalvo said the "unified front" between University and community told the students two things. THE FUTURE While the Safe Bar Alliance is adding as many new bars as it can, the University has plans on its side of the fence, too. DeSalvo said his office is working with SafeBus to put its stops in more convenient places for students. A website for the Jayhawk Buddy System is expected early next semester, and DeSalvo said he hoped that a corresponding toolkit would be ready by spring break. ABOUT THE STUDY The University police have started putting the buddy system The study started in 2003 by examining 14 large public universities in California. Then, half of the universities and their local communities started combining responsible-drinking campaigns with stricter enforcement on students drinking off campus, while half stayed the same. Students at the enforcing universities did better than the others. They are about 6 percent less likely to get drunk anywhere, 9 percent less likely to get drunk at off-campus parties, and 15 percent less likely at bars and restaurants. The study's press release pointed out that the most successful schools were the "universities with the highest intensity" of cracking down, complete with heavy publicity and highly visible enforcement. Students didn't just choose to go elsewhere, either. The study reported that non-targeted areas like parks, beaches and residence halls didn't see an increase in alcohol use. Between 500 and 1,000 students per campus per year filled out an online survey for four years for the study. logo on their cars, but it's only on a few so far. "It's an easy partnership we have with student success," University police chief Ralph Oliver said, "and we want to keep it that way." Oliver said the police was in the process of being educated about the buddy system and they would be able to talk about it, for example when people at a basketball game ask about the logo. dealing with the high rate of student turnover from year to year. It's difficult to get a message out to people if a third of them leave every year. "The ultimate goal is for us to encourage a culture change in the students," he said. "That takes time." DeSalvo said that one of his office's biggest challenges was KANSANCLASSIFIEDS —Edited by Michael Bednar HOMETOWN housing SALE for sale announcements - . . . . . . . . . . - jobs Megaphone 785-864-4358 05 HAWKCHALK.COM JOBS textbooks BOOKS JOBS UPS Store is accepting applications for a PT position.

He knows how quiet Allen Fieldhouse and the Kansas locker room can be when the Jayhawks lose in their home building. He was on the bench more than three years ago when Kansas lost to Texas A&M, and he doesn't want to feel that again. He won't even bring it up with his teammates. " Nobody knows what it feels like, you know what I'm saying? Morningstar said. "They don't want to know what it feels like." A victory tonight would stretch the Jayhawks' home winning streak to a school-record 63 games. And so the 15 other Jayhawks that share the locker room with Kansas' only fifth-year senior remain blissfully unaware of that sensation. Not that they're complaining. "That's what we came here for: to fight and to play for our position. That's why we came here." be the Jayhawks' traditional eighman rotation. And that is without ultra-talented freshman Josh Selby, who isn't cleared to play until Dec. 18 against USC. "He's going to be a great player for us," Reed said. "I think he just brings something different; an element of toughness, an element of I'm not going to lose, I'm going to go do whatever it takes to win! I think it's really going to help our "That wouldn't be fun," Tyrel Reed said of losing a game in the Fieldhouse. "I've been here three years, and the senior class hasn't lost here yet and it's just a big thing for us and we want to keep it going." To keep it going the layhawks will look for reliable play from their deep stable of guards to complement the always reliable Morris twins inside. Six guards — seniors Mario Little, Morningstar and Reed, junior Tyshawn Taylor, and sophores Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford — are already competing for at most five spots in what will MARIO LITTLE Senior guard team. Sherron had that a little bit." Reed said the toughness of Selby was something you could just see, even though they haven't played in a game together. "He just doesn't want to lose at anything," Reed said. "He just takes everything whether it be basketball, or — I mean, if you were playing a game of tiddlywinks I think he take it personal." Selby's one of the lucky ones in that he's all but guaranteed a spot in the Kansas rotation (Self said Friday when Selby was cleared that he would have a "big role" in the Jayhawks' season). Tyshawn Taylor, too, is guaranteed the spot, and Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar bring too much to the table as the only four-or-more year players getting legitimate playing time for Self to dismiss them entirely. That leaves Johnson, Releford and Little battling for one spot, but Little said the competition for minutes doesn't bother him. ANSA 12 NORTH 10 TEXAS adid "Coach deals the deck," Little said.

The Jayhawks lost to the Tigers 41-39 BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpener@kansan.com "Recruit, beat Missouri, recruit." Those were just some of the goals coach Turner Gill outlined in his opening press conference last December. His first season has been tough on fans and players alike. And the Missouri game will be no different, as the Tigers are 9-2 and No.14 in the latest BCS rankings. There's no doubt, however, that the first-year coach understands the importance of the Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri. Saturday's Border Showdown won't push the Jayhawks into a bowl game, and barring a Colorado upset over Nebraska Thursday, it won't affect Missouri's standings in the Big 12 either. But try telling that to the 2008 Kansas team, who came into the season finale on a two game losing streak after dropping out of the top 25. Missouri was ranked and favored by two touchdowns, but that didn't stop Kerry Meier and Co. from pulling off an upset in one of the best games in the rivalry's history, the Jayhawks winning 40-37. Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO "We do understand the magnitude of this football game, as far as our alumnus, former players that have played in this game," Gill said. "We know it's a very meaningful game, and it's also a chance for us to finish strong on a good note." The losses earlier that year were quickly forgotten after the win over Missouri. And if the Kansas coaching staff knows anything about history, they know this: a win on Saturday over the Tigers, who are favored by more than three touchdowns, will ease many of the pains felt by Kansas fans during the season. It hasn't been the easiest season to be a Kansas fan, coach, or player. "it's not as good as we definitely hoped for," Gill noted of his first year in Lawrence. "We would have as the team has struggled to its 3-8 record going into the Border Showdown. liked to be bowl-eligible, but we're still very confident that we will build a winning program at the University of Kansas." winning program remains to be seen. But a win over the team's heavily favored rival could do wonders heading into the offseason. Whether Gill and his staff eventually turn Kansas football into a COMMENTARY —Edited by Leslie Kinsman Mohammed Amin Showdown victory not far-fetched BY MAX VOSBURGH cthibodeaux@kansai.com There's a lot of excitement surrounding the Kansas basketball team right now. The Jayhawks are 3-0, freshman guard Josh Selby has been cleared to play on Dec. 18, and a win tonight would break the school record for consecutive wins at home. However, let's not forget one thing. It's Missouri week. This Saturday the Kansas football team will take on the Tigers for the 119th time in history. It's the second most played rivalry in college football history. As it stands, the Jayhawks lead the all-time series 55-54-9, meaning a Missouri win would tie things up between to two schools. However, a Kansas win may not be as far-fetched as you'd initially think. Now, the Jayhawks will look to duplicate last year's competitive performance by keeping things close with Missouri. Over the last three Border Showdowns at Arrowhead, the margin of victory by the winning team has been eight, three and two respectively. Over Missouri's last five games this season, the margin of victory by the winning team has only been an average of 10.8 points. The Tigers haven't been blowing people out lately and have only won three of those last five games. Kansas and Missouri moved the rival game to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City three years ago. The first game in the professional stadium featured two teams ranked in the top five in the country. Kansas was ranked second at the time and was playing its last regular season game, in what was a complete surprise of the season. They set a Kansas football record for most wins in a season and faced the Tigers without a loss and with realistic hopes of playing for the national championship. Last year, despite the Jayhawks winning only their first Big 12 Conference game of the year, they still put up a fight against Missouri in the final game of the season. Kansas lost only 41-39. The Kansas seniors that have competed in the last three Showdows know that in Arrowhead Stadium, anything can happen. After the senior's last home game against Oklahoma State, coach Turner Gill was already thinking about leaving on a positive note against the Tigers. Over 80,000 people packed into Arrowhead and witnessed the Tigers hand the Jayhawks their first loss of the season. Kansas would go on to play in the Orange Bowt that season, beating Virginia Tech for their first BCS bowl victory in school history. Missouri went on to lose the Big 12 Championship game to Oklahoma before winning the Cotton Bowl Classic versus Arkansas. "I'm glad they have one more game and hopefully we can finish on a great note for those guys," he said. The two schools met the next year when Kansas, after losing considerable talent to the NFL draft and to graduation, was having a down year compared to the success of the previous year, but all things considered, it was still an exciting season for Kansas football. Missouri was ranked 11th when they faced the unranked Jayhawks and Kansas was looking to spoil the Tigers' hopes of playing in a BCS Bowl game that season. In a back and forth game, Kansas won on a last second pass from Todd Reesing to Kerry Meier, winning the Jayhawks one of the most exciting Border Wars in school history. It was the first of three epic games between Kansas and Missouri at Arrowhead. -Edited by Leslie Kinsman --- / SPORTS / TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up."

MORNING BREW Giving thanks for all football Sports and holidays are combined all the time. Every year the NBA matches up to draw the highest ratings. Baseball celebrates the Fourth of July by making the logos on their hats red, white and blue. College football overruns the beginning of every new year, with so many bowls that they are now spread out during 23 days, including six on New Year's Day and four on New Year's Eve. That doesn't even include the BCS National Championship game, which isn't even played until January 10. Nonetheless, the ultimate marriage between sports and holidays comes with Thanksgiving and football. This relationship stands so tall above all the rest, it is as if the two are married to each other. They are so intertwined that it is hard for me to imagine one without the other. Personally, I consider the three Fs of Thanksgiving to be "Family, Food and Football." Football has a long history of games being played on Thanksgiving at all levels, ranging from professional to high school games. Even the Canadian Football League has jumped on this, holding an annual double header on Canadian Thanksgiving. The NFL on Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to watch three more games BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com than the typical football weekend. I will admit that the new Thanksgiving Day MVP trophies do not match up to John Madden's six-legged Turducken. Despite the fact that there is no marque match-up between two playoff contenders this season, it still offers a great excuse to change the television from the monotonous and drawn out Thanksgiving Day Parade that has never been able to hold my attention. I will always choose to watch the Detroit Lions over a big, inflatable Snoopy. However, the most exciting football on Thanksgiving takes place in backyards across America. It is the Turkey Bowl games where middle-aged men with bad backs try to relive their high school glory days and overly competitive youngsters try to prove themselves worthy in the eyes of their older relatives. Injuries occasionally visit these contests of athletic prowess, but lasting memories and friendly rivalries between family and friends are formed. THE MORNING BREW And in 2006, at the request of the Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, the NFL added a third game in the evening to the NFL Thanksgiving slate. This evening game is the best part because now after running myself ragged in the backyard and gorging myself full of turkey, potatoes, and other classic thanksgiving foods, I can retire to the couch and enjoy my pumpkin pie while watching my favorite sport. —Edited by Emily McCoy COLLEGE BASKETBALL Al Nolen's defense (five steals) and heart (34.3 minutes per game) helped a Gophers team THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS TODAY With the Gophers down 17-9 soon after they entered, a unit of Colton Iverson and four freshmen _ Austin Hollins, Maverick Ahanmiet, Mo Walker and Chip Armelin _ launched an 8-3 run.

The Gophers' starters deserve credit for the way they carried the team to a dazzling finish. But reserves prevented an early West Virginia lead from becoming an impossible margin. Gophers come out and score unexpected win pressure. 5 Volleyball Kansas State 6:30 p.m. Lawrence FRIDAY Women's Basketball Fordham vs. Memphis 4:30 p.m. Lawrence 5 Both Blake Hoffarber, whose clutch three-pointer with 92 seconds to play broke a 70-70 tie, and Trevor Mbakwe, who recorded his fifth double-digit scoring effort in as many games with 16 points, made the all-tournament team.

"Al Nolen really ran the team as well as I've seen him do it in the four years he's been here," Tubby Smith said. "He's had an unbelievable tournament." "We kind of slacked off when some of their starters went out," Jones said. "We just took it for granted that we could do whatever we want." Nolen guided the Gophers (5-0) through tough times against the Mountaineers (3-1) with a performance that included 17 points, four assists, two steals and a 92 percent clip from the charity stripe (11-for-12).

MLB Reds' Votto named the season's MVP Joey Votto underestimated the importance of a team making the postseason when it comes to voting for most valuable player. The Cincinnati Reds' first baseman had prepared himself for a neck-and-neck race with St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols for the National League MVP award. "I looked at my numbers and Albert's numbers," said Votto. "He beat me in a lot of them. I beat him in some qualitative categories. I thought it was a tosse-up. I thought it was as close as it could get." Votto ran away with the NL MVP award on Monday, collecting 31 of the 32 first-place votes cast by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Pujols collected the other first-place vote and finished with 279 points in the balloting system, far behind Votto's total of 443. Wrong. Obviously, the decisive factor for Votto was that Cincinnati captured the NL Central title with a 91-71 record and made the postseason for the first time in 15 years, thanks in large part to his contributions. The Cardinals finished five games back at 86-76. "I was surprised," Votto said of his overwhelming margin. Green Bay Packers may be coach killers, too NFL GREEN BAY, Wis. — Call the Green Bay Packers one of the best defensive teams in the NFL. Call them survivors, a team still reievant in November even with 11 players on injured reserve. Call them a trendy pick again for the Super Bowl. McClatchy-Tribune MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Three weeks ago, the Packers wiped their feet on Dallas, 45-7. Despite weekly assurances that owner Jerry Jones wasn't the kind of person to can a coaches midseason, that's exactly what he did. Less than 24 hours after the Cowboys staggered off Lambeau Field, coach Phillips was fired. Can them ... Coach Killers First Wade Phillips, now Brad Childress. Call them . . . coach killers? Then the Packers had a bye and jobs were safe for a week. On Sunday, Green Bay marched to the unfriendly Metrodome in Minneapolis and manhandled the Minnesota Vikings, 31-3. Three years removed from the Packers but just 10 months after the NFC Championship Game, quarterback Brett Favre looked mentally spent. Yet his dejected look paled in comparison to Childress' ashen face as the crowd chanted, "Fire Childress!" before it deserted the stadium. Again, despite reports just a week ago that Childress' job was safe, the Vikings (3-7) announced Monday that Childress was fired. It was a bizarre ending considering Childress had taken the Vikings to the doorstep of the Super Bowl and a year ago signed a contract extension through 2013, with the final year a club option. "I have a great respect for the players and coaches who I have worked with," Childress said in a statement released by the Vikings. "I am proud of our accomplishments and believe the foundation of this football team is stronger today than when I became head coach in 2006." "Brett is a tremendous quarterback, and he's been a leader of the team in the 1+ years that he's been here," Frazier said. "There are some things we have to do to support (Favre). Brett will be our starting quarterback on Sunday." Minnesota promoted defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier to interim coach, and he addressed the quarterback situation after Favre said he was going to take time "to re-evaluate". First Favre ducked out of offseason work again. Running back Adrian Peterson followed, skipping out on the mandatory minicamp in June to attend "Adrian Peterson Day" in Palestine, Texas. . It has been a disastrous season from the start for the Vikings. A Then Childress went on a rescue mission, sending three key players to Favre's home in Mississippi to retrieve the quarterback from his annual retirement thoughts. Then the Vikings started losing, and Favre didn't have the same magic of a year ago and started turning the ball over. For more than a month, Favre has also been under investigation by the NFL over allegations that he sent suggestive texts and salacious photographs to a female employee of the New York Jets. To top it off, the relationship between Favre and Childress had, according to numerous reports, gone cold. The coach ended up criticizing Favre for turning the ball over this year against the Packers in Green Bay. Favre has said the two only talk when necessary. The distractions continued. Peterson was pulled over for speeding—again-last week. Various Vikings could be seen bickering during the Packers game. The Vikings have become such an embarrassment that when they misspelled Kevin Williams' name on his jersey (he's a five-time Pro Bowl veteran), they became a national punch line. Things got so bad that even after the Vikings, behind a career performance by Favre, rallied to beat Arizona, players ripped Childress anonymously in an article in the Chicago Sun-Times. Favre has played through tumultuous times with his coaches since his astonishing career in Green Bay came to an apocalyptic end. His coach in 2008, Eric Childress, an assistant coach at the University of Wisconsin from 1991-'98, accepted the Minnesota job in January 2006, reportedly before he ever made a scheduled visit to Green Bay, where he was supposed to meet with general manager Ted Thompson over the Packers' own coaching vacancy. Thompson filled that role a week later with Mike McCarthy. "You feel for his family," McCarthy said of Childress' dismissal. "I have great respect for every individual in the coaching profession. I know the struggles, the challenges and the rewards that you go through as a head coach in this league. You never want to see that happen. It's really tough on a family. Like I said, you just don't ever want to see that happen." Mangini, was fired after Favre and the New York Jets started the season by dominating the AFC East and then failed to make the playoffs. With Childress gone, it appears the newest coach on the hot seat is Mike Singletary. The Packers play host to his struggling San Francisco team Dec. 5. Now McCarthy leads a 7-3 Packers team, and Childress is looking for work.

VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks to host rematch against K-State Wildcats BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com With two matches left to play, the Jayhawks host the Kansas State Wildcats on Wednesday after dropping a four-setter at Texas. Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington led the Jayhawk offense. She scored 377 kills this year and carried a 3.49 kill per set average.

Redshirt freshman Caroline Jarmoc alone contributed six blocks, including two solo rejections on Friday.

Kansas State took a 25-18 win from O k l a h o m behind the trio's outstanding performance in the second set, but the Sooners' offense outscored them.

Boulavsky leads the Sooners with 384 kills this season and a 3.49 kills per set average. But other players picked up the slack: Sooner Caitlin Higgins led Oklahoma with 17 kills and made it a double-double with 12 digs.

Over the season, Chisholm and Pelger led the Wildcats in kills. Mathewson is their top defender with 492 digs this season and an average of 4.78 per set.

ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS OXFORD, Ohio — Kawhi Leonard had another double-double, and No. 18 San Diego State turned up its defensive pressure and used two crushing scoring runs to pull away from Miami (Ohio) 77-56 Monday night in the GBE Classic. The Aztecs improved to 5-0 for the first time in three years, nationally ranked for the first time in their history. All five wins have come away from home, highlighted by a 79-76 victory at then-No. 11 Gonzaga — the Aztecs' biggest road win in their history. Miami (2-3) had 19 turnovers and shot 37 percent from the field. San Diego State put it away with a 25-point run in the second half, holding the RedHawks scoreless for 12 minutes, 35 seconds. Leonard, a sophomore forward, leads the Aztecs in scoring and rebounding. He had 12 points and 13 rebounds on Monday, his eighth straight double-double. Point guard D.J. Gay led with 19 points. Miami tied it at 39 early in the second half, then missed 12 shots and had a dozen turnovers during San Diego State's 25-0 spurt. Nick Winbush led Miami with 12 points. The Aztecs got off to slow starts in the first two games of the tournament on Miami's home floor, and wanted to break the bad habit. Instead, they found themselves playing from behind right away. Winbush made a fastbreak layup against a full-court press, then hit a pair of free throws that put Miami up 17-6 with 13:39 left in the half. MIDDEG 15 ATE M 35 San Diego State turned up the pressure on a Miami offense run by freshman point guard Quinten Rollins, using a half-court trap to rattle the Red Hawks. The Aztecs weren't finished. James Rahon hit a 3-pointer and made a three-point play during a 16-0 run that put San Diego State ahead 22-17. Miami was reduced to passing the ball around the perimeter and taking low-percentage shots with the clock running down during the scoring drought. One frustrated fan yelled: "Get the ball inside once!" They increased the run to 25-2, holding Miami to only one basket during a 10-minute span. The spurt ended with an embarrassing Miami moment — Orlando Williams passed the ball inbound before Rollins was ready. Gay grabbed it and passed to Rahon for an easy basket and a 31-19 lead. The RedHawks went 1 for 9 from the field with six turnovers during the 10-minute run. The Aztecs missed their first four shots to open the second half, giving Miami a chance to pull even. A 3-pointer by Winbush and a driving layup by Antonio Ballard made it 39-all. Gay hit a free throw to break the tie, then hit a floater in the lane and a long 3-pointer that sparked the decisive 25-point run.

ASSOCIATED PRESS COLLEGE BASKETBALL Duke wins over Marquette in Sprint Center showdown MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE KANSAS CITY, Mo. Mason Plumlee hustled ahead of the pack on the Marquette turnover, took a bounce pass from Kyrie Irving and jammed a onehanded dunk Monday night that brought Duke's fans to their feet. Plumlee howled, perhaps as much from relief as from excitement. For much of the game, Marquette had chipped away at a 14-point Blue Devil lead, finally tying the score in the ninth minute of the second half. Plumlee, the starting center who'd been quiet through top-ranked Duke's first three games, lifted the Blue Devils out of their turnover-prone doldrums to an 82-77 win at Sprint Center. The win in the CBE Classic semifinals lifted Duke into Tuesday night's tournament final, where the Blue Devils will face the winner of Monday's late game between No. 4 Kansas State and No. 22 Gonzaga on Tuesday night. Plumlee scored 18 of his career- high 25 points in the second half Guard Irving and Smith can do things with the ball and run the floor in ways Scheyer never could. But Scheyer averaged just 1.6 turnovers per game last season and rarely made a mental mistake. also grabbed 12 rebounds, handed out four assists and blocked five shots in by far the most dominating performance of his career. Irving and Smith were erratic, particularly in the final 10 minutes of the first half. They combined for six giveaways in the first half, and that helped keep Marquette close after Duke led 23-9 nine minutes into the game. At times Monday, it appeared that Duke missed 2009-10 senior guard Jon Scheyer and his ability to protect the ball. On one fast break, Smith appeared to hit Irving in stride for what should have been an easy layup. Irving, the highly regarded freshman point guard, fumbled the ball out of bounds. Nolan Smith added 18 points and Kyle Singler added 14 as the seniors took a back seat in the first big game of the season. and helped the Blue Devils survive a stiff challenge from Marquette (4-1). The score was tied 57-57 when Plumlee rebounded a Kyrie Irving miss and passed back out to the top of the key for Nolan Smith, who rattled in a 3-pointer. Andre Dawkins stole the ball near halfcourt and sailed in for a reverse layup and a five-point lead, sending Marquette scrambling for a timeout, trailing 62-57. But Plumlee didn't let up. Attacking the rim on post-ups and offensive rebounds, he scored 14 points in the final 11 minutes to lift the Blue Devils to a win in their first serious challenge of the season. Smith added 18 points and Kyle Singler 14 as the seniors took a back seat in the first big game of the season. Plumlee, a sophomore who moved into the starting lineup after playing a reserve role last season, Center Miles Plumlee fumbled another pass out of bounds in exactly the same fashion. Those two mistakes accounted for four points the Blue Devils could have used as Marquette cut into the lead. Duke was ahead 40-31 at halftime, but committed three more turnovers (two by Miles Plumlee) in the first five minutes of the second half. Darius Johnson-Odom, the junior guard from Raleigh's Wakefield High, spun through the lane for an acrobatic layup, made a 3-pointer and set up Jimmy Butler for a layup that cut the Blue Devils' lead to 46-41. Johnson-Odom tied the game with 11:21 left at 53-53 for the first time since the third minute when he made a three-point play with a 16-footer and a free throw on a foul by Dawkins. Shortly afterward, Mason Plumlee took control for Duke, in a performance that for the first time established his ability to lead the team on a big stage. NBA Despite strong team, Miami Heat struggles to play well ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — All the Miami Heat banners, reminders of everything from division titles to the 2006 NBA championship, were missing from the rafters Monday night. Fitting, because the Heat look nothing like champions these days. Danny Granger had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Brandon Rush added 20 points and the Indiana Pacers added to Miami's week of woe, beating the Heat 93-77 in the worst shooting game of Dwyane Wade's career. Wade finished with three points on 1-for-13 shooting. He had never shot so poorly when taking at least 13 tries, and the point total was the third-lowest of his career. He has been held scoreless twice. LeBron James scored 25 points and Chris Bosh had 21 points and 14 rebounds for Miami, which learned earlier Monday that top reserve Udonis Haslem will need surgery to repair a torn foot ligament and be out indefinitely. The Pacers (6-6) had been 0-4 when scoring less than 99 points. Granger hit a pair of 3-pointers 36 seconds apart in the final $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes to seal it, the last one giving Indiana a 91-75 lead and sending just about everyone who was left in the seats heading to the exits. T. J. Ford scored 13 points and Mike Dunleavy added 11 for the Pacers, who took control with a 29-11 run in the second quarter. Hours after learning Haslem will have surgery Tuesday, the Heat struggled just about every step of the way. Indiana's reserves outscored their counterparts 40-4. The only Miami reserve to score was Jamaal Magloire, who entered with three points all season. Wade missed his last nine shots of Friday's game against Charlotte, when he was batting fullexymptoms. He didn't play Saturday in Memphis, then made just one of his 13 shots against the Pacers. Here's a perfect example of how the night went for Miami. With 1:16 left, James and Bosh both leapt for a defensive rebound. They both missed it, both fell over backwards, and the ball went to Indiana. Zydrunas Iligauskas and Carlos Arroyo each scored 12 for Miami. Wade drove into the lane from the right wing midway through the third quarter, tossed up a shot off the board and in — only to have it waved off by Solomon Jones drawing a charge on the play. Wade attacked Jones again on the next Miami possession, got his layup Not even two minutes later, the 7-foot-3, 260-pound Ilgauskas was called for a charge against 6-foot, 160-pound Darren Collison, who had no problem standing tall against a man who looks twice his size. And when Wade got an attempt to finally fall, it didn't count. So over that span, he gone a baffling 1 for 22 from the field. blocked, then got a technical foul out of frustration. It was that sort of night for the Pacers. Magloire ended the possession with a defensive rebound, James made two free throws at the other end, and the Heat were down 74-64 entering the fourth. They took the fight to Miami. — an absolute eternity in a game with a 24-second shot clock. with one sequence in the third quarter maybe summing it all up best.

They didn't, though, and then-coach Ronnie Arrow bent for South Alabama. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi hasn't returned to the tournament since, and they're a middle-of-the-pack team in the Southland Conference this year. The Jayhawks will have to avoid looking forward to the weekend in Vegas, where they'll face MAC favorite Ohio and a dangerous Arizona team led by powerful forward Derrick Williams. If they stay focused on the present, the Jayhawks will roll by 30-plus again. The Islanders have decent size, but none of them will have the combination of NBA-ready body and freakish athleticism that Robinson boasts. Most Big 12 posts don't either, so that shouldn't be much of a surprise. He should continue his astronomical rise from last season, and it wouldn't be a huge shock to see him averaging double digit rebounds following the game — he's averaging nine per game right now. Thomas Robinson Will the guards start competing for playing time? QUESTION MARK PLAYER TO WATCH KANSAS VS. TEXAS A&M CORPUS-CHRISTI 7 p.m., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, Lawrence Somebody's minutes are going to get cut when Josh Selby becomes eligible on Dec. 18th against USC. Seniors Tyrel Reed, Mario Little and Brady Morningstar said it's not an issue; that they're all more excited for Selby to play then they are worried about their minutes potentially decreasing. It's a great problem for coach Bill Self to have — plenty of options to fall back on if anyone struggles or gets in foul trouble — but it's hard to believe it's not in the back of the guards' minds. COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY "No, I haven't really brought it up. Nobody knows what it feels like, you know what I'm saying. They don't want to know what it feels like." HEARYE, HEARYE — Brady Mormingar on being the only player on the team that has lost in the fieldhouse. Taylor D.J. MONROE Reed KANSAS 3-0 (0-0) STARTERS Tyshawn Taylor, guard Throughout the course of the last two games, Taylor has posted a stellar 11-to-2 assist ratio. He had been playing smart and controlling the tempo as the Jayhawks' primary ballhandler, and when he went down with early four trouble Friday, it was easy to see how much it affected the offense. It'd be good for Kansas if he found his scoring touch again. After scoring 17 in the opener, Taylor has only had 17 points in the two games since. PETER Morningstar ★★★★★ Tyrel Reed, guard The Jayhawks collectively found their three-point stroke in Friday's win, hitting 60 percent on 15 attempts from outside. Reed didn't join the party, though, missing his only attempt from three-point land. That miss dropped the senior sharpshooter to a 28.6 percent mark from three, by far a career worst. If he continues to struggle, he may be starting on the bench soon — possibly starting Dec. 18 with Josh Selby's return. Morris TAYLOR Morris Brady Morningstar, guard ★★☆☆ Morningstar picked up his first start of the season Friday for no apparent reason. Like a lot of Bill Self's ideas, it worked out about as well as possible. Morningstar played well above the level he's been at all season, finishing with seven points, 10 assists, four steals and two rebounds Travis Releford has a higher ceiling here, but sometimes it's nice to have a steady veteran hand. ★★★☆☆ For the first half Friday night, Marcus' abilities could be questioned. Then Marcus reminded us all that he's the best player on the team, scoring 10 points in the first five minutes after the break and carrying the Jayhawks on a devastating 31-8 run to open the second half. He needs to be stronger on the defensive glass — for the second time this season he finished with zero defensive rebounds — but that's nitpicky for a guy who's been All-American good so far. Marcus Morris, forward ★★★★★ SALVATORE Markieff Morris, forward Johnson While his brother has been slacking on the glass, Markieff has been dominating the rebounding stats. He leads the Jayhawks with 12 boards per game and is second on the team with 13 points per game. If he continues to play at this high pace, he'll begin to steal away some of his brother's spotlight (and some of the load on his shoulders). ★★★☆ TEXAS A&M CORPUS CHRISTI 1-3(0-0) STARTERS Johnson was solid Friday night in his first game back from a season-opening suspension. He'll primarily serve as the backup to Tyshawn Taylor at the point, and Taylor's foul trouble thrust Johnson into a larger role against the Mean Green. He responded with 11 points and zero turnovers, but dished out only one assist. SIXTH MAN Elijah Johnson, guard Jones has been a more consistent player this season for the Islanders. He is averaging 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. He is 14-17 from the free-throw line. He had 18 points on 6-13 shooting, while going 5-11 from behind the three-point line in 36 minutes against Oklahoma St. on Nov. 17. Jones had 11 points against Ohio on Nov. 21. CAMDEN Terence Jones, guard Jones ★★★☆☆ Junkins is in his first season with the Islanders after transferring from Arizona to be closer to home. In his official debut, Judkins scored a team-high 16 points to lead the Islanders in their only victory of the season, defeating Northeastern State 81-74. He is averaging 7.5 points and 2 rebounds per game. Judkins had three points in 21 minutes against Ohio. P.O. BOX 12345 Judkins ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Justin Reynolds, forward Reynolds is eighth on Texas A&M-CC's points list with 935. Reynolds is also fourth in rebounds, 576; fifth in blocks, 66; fifth in minutes played, 2360; and fifth in double-doubles,10. He is averaging 6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 26.3 minutes. Reynolds had 10 points and six rebounds against Ohio. POLICE ★☆☆☆ Horace Bond, forward Bond may share the name with Horace Grant, who won three NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls from 1991-1993, but Bond does not provide the same spark as Grant. Bond is averaging 6 points and 4 rebounds in 26 minutes. Bond played 24 minutes against Ohio and scored five points. Reynolds ★★★★★ Demond Watt, forward Watt has been the Islanders' best player this season. He is averaging 17 points and 10.8 rebounds in 32.8 minutes per game. Watt scored a career and game-high 26 points and a game-high 12 rebounds in the loss to Ohio. Like Reynolds, Watt ranks high in multiple stat categories. He is ninth in points, 874; third in rebounds, 619; second in blocks, 103; sixth in minutes played, 2317; and third in double-doubles, 13. Bond ★★★★ SIXTH MAN Nelson is averaging 4.5 points and one rebound per game in 13.8 minutes a game off the bench. Nelson cut weight this offseason and is listed at 260 pounds. An interesting part of Nelson's game is his ability to shoot from the outside. He is 4-4 from the outside and is 7-15 overall from the field on the season. Jawan Nelson, center 5043 Watt T Nelson TEXAS A&M CORPUS CHRISTI TIPOFF AT A GLANCE Watt leads the team in scoring and rebounding. He is 23-38 from the field (.605) without attempting a three-point shot. He is a low-post player that will be difficult to guard. Kansas's defenders will want to get Watt as far away from the basket as possible to make it uncomfortable for him. Once he has the ball in the post, he can make a strong move to the basket or if he is double-teamed, he will be able to find his open teammates, who are shooting over 45 percent from the field on the season. He has a young, inexperienced backcourt getting him the ball, but it does not seem to be a problem so far this season. ★★★☆★ QUESTION MARK Texas A&M-Corpus Christi started play in the IBN Las Vegas Invitational on Nov. 21. The Islanders lost to Ohio, Kansas' first opponent in Las Vegas, 83-70. This season is the 12th for Texas A&M-CC. The program was an independent for the first seven seasons and it managed to have six winning seasons. The islanders are three years removed from their only NCAA Tournament appearance in 2007, when they lost to Wisconsin 76-63 in the first round. Texas A&M-CC is taller than Kansas' previous opponents, with four players taller than 6-foot-8. The Islanders will provide a challenge to the Jayhawks with their length on the interior. PLAYER TO WATCH Can the Islanders win their first game against the Big 12 this season? Texas A&M-CC is 0-2 against the Big 12 this season, and 3-17 overall, with losses to Texas A&M, 86-65, and Oklahoma St. 68-58. Staying with Oklahoma St. on Nov. 17 is impressive for the Islanders; however, Kansas is a more dynamic team than Oklahoma St. The Jayhawks are a much deeper and more athletic team and should easily run away with this game. The Islanders are averaging 68.5 points per game while Kansas is averaging 95 points per game. The five leading scorers for Texas A&M-CC are from its starting lineup. The Jayhawks are only giving up 59.7 points per game. Texas A&M-CC will not defeat Kansas tonight. Desmond Watt HEARYE, HEARYE ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ "They're athletic, similar to North Texas.

MIDDLETON AND EDWARD H. MIDDLETON IN THE LIBRARY OF RYAN COLLEGE, RYAN, N.Y. Dalton Gomez/KANSAN The Uncle Jimmy Green sculpture stands outside of Lippincott. The sculptor of this statue, Daniel Chester French, was the same man who sculpted Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. KU art has hidden history Sculptures' secrets revealed with 'An Ear for Art' BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Students like Kyle Niquette, a senior from Wichita, have walked past them for almost four years now, unaware of the hidden history towering over their heads. Two 7-foot-7-inch bronze statues, one of former dean of the KU School of Law James Woods Green, and the other a student in a letter jacket, stand regally in front of Lippincott Hall. "It blends in well with the architecture of the building," Niquette said of why he hadn't noticed anything special about the sculpture before. But students may take more interest in the "Uncle Jimmy" Green Memorial and other on-campus art now that they can access information about the art from their cell phones through an audio guide called "An Ear for Art." The Spencer Museum of Art created "An Ear for Art" to give students and art lovers a new way to learn about some of the hidden history on campus. Behind the exterior of a tinted green bronze finish of the "Uncle Jimmy" Green Memorial lies a story that connects the University to national history. The sculptor who created the massive national symbol of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. cast this University legend in bronze as well. And the student standing with "Uncle Jimmy" represents the first University student who died in the Spanish-American War. Kristina Walker, the director of education for the museum, said many students do not know the history of the sculptures around campus simply because the information is not easily accessible to them. "An Ear for Art" is designed to ideally give anyone with a cell phone the opportunity to learn something about a piece of art as they walk by it. Originally started in August 2009, the cell phone audio guide gave museum visitors an added level of knowledge about pieces within the museum's walls. The second phase of the audio tour was installed in September, so students and visitors can now access museum information via cell phone while walking on campus.

Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the fire department ruled the cause "undetermined." Jess said Anschutz Sports Pavilion and part of Wagnon Student Athlete Center were evacuated at the time of the fire but had no information on how many people were evacuated or the cost of the damage. She said there had not been issues with the equipment before. One employee was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for minor smoke inhalation, said Jill Jess, a spokeswoman for the University. Jess did not release the employee's name or job title. The inside of the building was not damaged and only minor smoke damage was detected inside shortly after firefighters put out the flames.

Closing the book on novel-writing contest CAMPUS For aspiring author Adri Pendergrass, the hardest part about writing a book is simply making it to "The End." BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com "I think it's often difficult for writers to finish things," said Pendergrass, a KU alumna and Lawrence resident. "Most of the writers I know are kind of flaky or artistically minded and have trouble seeing their stories through." Thankfully for these people, November marks NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. Run by the Office of Letters and Light, a nonprofit organization based out of Oakland, Calif., NaNoWriMo gives authors that extra incentive to write by challenging them to create a 50,000 word book in a mere 30 days. "I think that you just get a certificate if you finish," Pendergrass said. "It's really more about just getting something on paper than about quality." The "winners" are the participants who submit a full 50,000 word story by Tuesday. For Pendergrass, this November marks her second year participating in the competition. While she only made it to 35,000 words. Pendergrass was able to finish the story later in December. "The 50,000-word challenge has a wonderful way of opening up your imagination and unleashing creativity," said Chris Baty, NaNoWiMo founder and executive director. "Also, it's a great excuse for not doing any dishes for a month." "Last year I wrote a weird science fiction novel about flesh-eating worms that come up through the drains and eat people," she said. The challenge, which began in 1999 with 21 participants and six winners, has expanded in the past several years, recording 167,150 participants and 32,178 winners in 2009. As of Sunday night, 2,853,735 words had been submitted by 138 people from Lawrence "It was a good experience," she said. "I just didn't quite complete the goal during the month." "I think a lot of people think they would like to write a novel one day," said Brian Dalderph, an assistant professor of English. "Obviously it is a huge time commitment and this would be a good inspiration for doing it." This year, Pendergrass said she hopes to finish her tale about a town that must overcome a disaster. As of last week, she had 20,000 words to go. "We'll see what happens," Pendergrass said. to the NaNoWriMo website.

NATIONAL New job program offered for transgender people ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO - Before Goodwill Industries opened its newest retail outlet in San Francisco, no one would have argued that the city had a shortage of thrift stores for its avid recyclers and trendy hipsters. What the city did lack was enough jobs for its transgender population, a group with an unemployment rate thought to be twice the California average. So when a prime piece of commercial real estate languished vacant in the predominantly gay Castro district, activists and city officials saw an opportunity to put a dent in the problem. The result is the nation's first Goodwill, and perhaps the first store of any kind, designed as a jobs program for workers whose genders are different from the ones they had at birth. Seven of the shop's nine employees are transgender, most of them women who used to be men. Like the donated merchandise they collect and sell, all are looking for new lives. They were referred to Goodwill by the Transgender Economic Empowerment Initiative. transgender anti-bias training to minimize misunderstandings over pronoun and restroom usage. "I guess it's fitting that we're working in a place that's based on the concept of 'recycle and reuse,'" said Alexie Scanlon, 38, who was just promoted to assistant manager at the Castro Goodwill. "If you are born in the wrong body, you learn to make use of what you have." For example, an employee presenting herself as a woman was to be addressed as "she" and directed to the women's room, no questions asked. In advance of the store's October opening, the job trainees had to spend a week working at another San Francisco Goodwill, while area Goodwill staff underwent Initiative coordinator Clair Farley said the barriers transgender people face in finding stable work can be both personal and political. California is one of only 12 states where it is illegal to fire someone based on his or her gender identity, meaning that workers may be vulnerable if they transition while on the job. Years of hormones and surgeries can cause health problems, and the decision to switch sexes can leave individuals estranged from their families. Farley said. ODD NEWS Pet owners stop animal cremation HELENA, Mont. — Officials responsible for a Montana pet cemetery are backing off a proposal to exhume and cremate its occupants after some of the pet owners threatened to chain themselves to the front gates. The 1.3-acre Arley Burt Pet Cemetery in Helena is the final resting place for some 1,200 dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters buried between 1972 and 1993. Gina Wiest of the Lewis and Clark Humane Society says the organization considered exhuming the pets in the cemetery adjacent to its shelter because of a new hotel going up nearby. Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A 5-year-old West Virginia boy has donated his life savings — nearly $46 in change — to help rebuild a volunteer fire station that burned down in an Oct. 1 electrical fire. Tom Miller, with the fire department's board of directors, says the donation underscores community support for rebuilding. He says West Virginia schoolchildren have raised more than $5,000 already.

Han Duk-soo, Republic of Korea ambassador to the United States, and Kathleen Stephens, U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Korea, were scheduled to attend an event at the Dole Institute of Politics on Nov. 29. "We regret that these events must be canceled at this time," Dole Institute Director Bill Lacy said in a press release. "We hope to reschedule this important meeting between the two countries' ambassadors at a later date." The dispute intensified Tuesday when North Korea reportedly fired on a South Korean island, killing two South Korean soldiers and two civilians. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little spent a week in South Korea earlier this month. She was there to visit with universities involved with exchange programs at the University and received a $100,00 donation from a member of the KU Korean Alumni Association. Korea is third among foreign donors to KU Endowment. While there, Gray-Little visited the demilitarized zone between the two countries. She said her visit was within only a day of warning shots being fired in the area. "It's sobering to see it," she said in the Nov. 10 Kansan article, "Chancellor Gray-Little returns from Korea trip." Edited by Kelsey Nill CAMPUS Sock drive held to help the homeless The weather's getting colder, but the Center for Community Outreach is going to help the homeless keep warm. The student-run organization will host the Dream into Action Sock Drive this week. The CCO will place collection bins throughout campus this week only for students to donate new or slightly used socks. All socks will be donated to the Lawrence Community Shelter that, according to the shelter, can hold up to 136 people in freezing weather. Emily Lamb, a junior from Lawrence and co-director of the CCO, said socks were a simple yet important item in the winter months at the shelter. "Unfortunately they are something that the shelter doesn't always have enough of" she said. The center decided to collect socks this year because they thought it would be an easy way for students to help the community. Lamb said the center did not set a specific goal but would like to collect 100 to 200 pairs of socks. "Hopefully people will have new socks from their parents," Lamb said. "Yes, we are students, but we are also civically engaged to the community." Kellen Bolt, a junior from lola and co-director of the CCO, said the sock drive was part of the Martin Luther King Dream into Action Program, which is a yearlong initiative sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs. He said the program focused on issues that King worked to alleviate. The CCO is working to fight poverty. "Donating socks is an easy way to give back to the Lawrence community," Bolt said. "They might not seem like much but socks are really important in winter." -Samantha Collins COLLECTION BIN LOCATIONS —Nunemaker Center All residence and scholarship halls The Pharmacy Buliding —Student Involvement and Leadership Center, fourth floor of Kansas Union To get involved with the Center for Community Outreach e-mail Emily Lamb or Kellen Bolt at cco@ku.edu.

Nicholas Sambaluk Despite regard, Potter films still lack Oscar recognition MOVIES MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Is the prize the unattainable Horcrux, or can Harry and Co. conquer the academy? By many measures, the "Harry Potter" series is the ultimate winner: It's the most successful film franchise in box-office history, selling in more than $5.8 billion in tickets worldwide. Audiences love it, returning seven times over the last 10 years to theaters to see the latest installment. But now, with the penultimate movie released last week and the final installment due next summer, the pressure is on the boy wizard to snare the one accolade that has eluded the series: an Oscar. That battle for Oscar recognition may be as epic as Harry's quest to defeat Voldemort. Over the years, the Warner Bros. series has occasionally received nominations for categories such as art direction, costume design and visual effects, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has never rewarded the series with a win. Some Oscar consultants say it's unlikely the academy will look seriously at this year's film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1" after snubbing the series for so long — and knowing that they have another chance next year. But if director David Yates delivers a tour de force with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows _ Part 2" in July, the academy might take a closer look next season, essentially honoring the eight-picture series for its overall achievement.

"I think," he said with a world-weary chuckle, "the liberating moment is when we decided that we were allowed to make a dance record." These are strange seasons for Way and his band, who deliver their fourth studio album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys," today and have just announced a world tour that A Darling, Yes, one time I did have the urge to study, but I took a nap and quickly got over it. finds them back from the brink of despair and bitter breakup. What was their salvation? Comic books, old sci-fi films and drum machines, it turns out, as well as the healing exercise of recording an entire "safe" rock album, scrapping it and starting from scratch. "It's strange how we got to this place, but I think there was no other way to do it," said Way, who spent nearly a year with his bandmates recording a straightforward proto-punk album with producer Brendan O'Brien (known for earnest-searcher sessions with Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen) only to jettison it all and starting over with Jon Cavallo (best known for his Green Day work and as the newly minted chairman of Warner Bros. Records) to create a wild-eyed concept album that feels like "Mad Max" reimagined with guitars and the trickster wink of OutKast. "Danger Days" is getting some strong early reviews (Dan Martin in NME gushed that it's the "best rock record of the year by such a margin that you actually feel rather embarrassed for everybody else") but much of the reaction is pure surprise — this is not where My Chemical Romance was supposed don't say it in arrogance, but it might reposition rock, because rock is getting slaughtered out there ..." Way, an art-school soul with real-world bruises and a croaky New Jersey voice, actually dares to hope that the shout-along choruses and pop-epic aspirations of "Danger Days" could be genre-saving. "I to end up, not after all those years of marching through the pop-punk scene in eyeliner and delivering glammed-up melodrama for smart kids. That savior language is startling for people close to Way because, over the last few years, his "It's strange how we got to this place, but I think there was no other way to do it." Gerard Way My Chemical Romance Singer is part of the unfolding saga of the Killjoys, the future-world personas played by the band that are battling against the Draculoids and an insidious corporate behemoth The weapons, characters, logos, back story, vehicles — all of it sprang from the mind of Way, who attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and interned band looked like it was the one that was sinking down into the murky depths. A few days earlier, on a slate-gray Saturday morning in downtown Los Angeles, the band members gathered to shoot a music video for the "Danger Days" track "Sing" and, instead of guitars, they were hefting laser guns. The video at DC Comics' Vértigo imprint before he took a detour into rock stardom. It was during his time at Vertigo that Way met Grant Morrison, now one of the most celeb- ed comic-book writers in the world and the man who recently killed off (temporarily) Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne. On this morning, Morrison has a different target — he's playing Korse and is eager for the moment when the script calls for him to put a gun beneath Way's chin and pull the trigger.

The person I'm most thankful for is three hours away. SKEPTICISM Organic food option not as wholesome as it appears There's no doubt you've seen it before. Whether in Dillons, Hy-Vee, or even Wal-Mart, the little green and white USDA organic sticker seems to have found its way into almost every aisle of almost every grocery store in the country. There are organic eggs, celery, chili, and even organic kitchen cleaners—all which proudly display a seal proclaiming government approval of their organic production Foods that are labeled organic by the FDA must meet a set of stringent and comprehensive guidelines that prohibit the use of certain materials (no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers) in their production. Any genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and non-free-range conditions for animals are also not allowed in the production of these goods. But, ask most people about what exactly organic is, and they won't go into detail about the farming practices behind it; rather, they'll tell you: it's not only better for you, but also better for the environment. I doubt many people would be against either of these benefits, so if the statements were true, thered really be no reason to delve deeper into the underbelly of organic food, but therein lies the problem—neither claim really holds much water The USDA itself argues nothing in favor of the purported health benefits of organic; in an interview with the New York Times in 2009, a spokesperson for the agricultural department said that the USDAS organic program "is a marketing program that sets standards for what can be certified as organic. Neither the enabling legislation nor the regulations address food safety or nutrition." Good Science, Bad Science Contrary to claims from the BY ANDREW HOLTZEN aholtzen@kansan.com Environmental concerns are also often cited as reason to buy organic, but consider this: although organic farming may benefit the environment in some regards, a study in Science concluded that organic plots of land produced 20 percent less than conventional plots. According to these findings, in order for organic farming to become the norm, more land would have to be cleared for agriculture; looks like "save the rainforest" and "buy organic" cannot be uttered in the same breath. Even if all arable land on earth were used to grow organic crops, that still might not be enough to feed 6.7 billion people. Norman Borlaug, Nobel laureate and leader of the "Green Revolution" contends that if all farming were converted to organic and cropland expanded, only 4 billion people could be fed, at best. Organic food finds a lot of its support from people who are opposed to unbridled capitalism and who carry a sentiment that corporations are indifferent to the environment and the health of customers. Without a doubt there are ample reasons for such an opinion, but organic food doesn't offer a better alternative. The image of the small organic farmer is part of a bygone era in the early history of organic food—before it had evolved into $26.6 billion industry. In his book "The Omnivore's Dilemma", Michael Pollan argues that a more accurate depiction of many organic farms would be something similar to the huge industrial farms seen recently in movies like "Food Inc." and "The Future of Food." Organic food commands higher prices than conventional agriculture and therefore, captures a high-value market of shoppers who are willing to pay more for a particular product. As the organic food industry has grown in the past decade, large-scale food producers have taken note and jumped on the organic bandwagon. For example, Horizon Organic—which controls 50 percent of the market for organic milk—is owned by the agribusiness corporation Dean Foods, which boasted an impressive $12.5 billion in revenue in 2008. Organic food as a supplement to conventional agriculture is not the problem. Many people choose to buy organic simply because they claim it tastes better, and they are entitled to that opinion. What's alarming is that there are those who have sought to line their pockets off of others' good intentions through deceptive marketing that uses potentially harmful misinformation and a cultivated image of wholesome business.

NICHOLAS SAMBULAK START deserves ratification GUEST COLUMN I will refrain from any Cold War cliches as best I can, but talking about the United States, Russia and arms control is going to make that harder than hiding missiles in Cuba. The Senate is currently threatening to stall debate on the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) legislation, which poses some enormous diplomatic problems. If they fail to ratify such an important treaty before the end of the year, Congress risks not only disappointing Russia, but also lowering American credibility around the world. Sen. Kyl is now leading the Republican obstruction to reaching an agreement; it is perplexing as to why they are abandoning their conservative icon Ronald Reagan when a chance to do something he would do is staring them in the face. Republicans are so afraid of appearing on the same piece of paper with President Obama that they have concluded doing nothing is the best option. They should listen to fellow Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), who said, "Every senator If Congress does not do its duty, Russia won't even entertain the idea of such a deal again for a long time. President Dmitri Medvedev risked a lot to get his government to support the treaty and won't be happy if Obama fails on his promise. Is that worth having the satisfaction that they defeated an Obama policy goal? Furthermore, failure to renew this deal will discredit the United States' dedication to future negotiations with other nations; if we couldn't deliver on this, will next time be any different? has an obligation in the national security interest to take a stand, to do his or her duty." That's why he is asking Democrats to vote anyway — he understands the larger consequences. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pointed out a further ramification of putting negotiations on hold: American inspectors haven't been allowed into Russian military installations in over a year. And it's unbelievable that Republicans also ignored Sen. John Kerry's (D-Mass.) point that there is high bipartisan support for the treaty. This is an opportunity for Republicans to come out against the status quo of petty partisanship in Washington, but it's as if they have selective amnesia that causes them to forget everything they've previously said about the Obama administration. Democrats should follow through on Lugar's proposal. It's far better for a few Democrats to lose their seats in Congress in 2012 because they did the right thing than have the whole Russian Parliament, along with the rest of Europe, laughing at our dysfunctional domestic politics. Democrats are trying to draw just one positive achievement from the empty, all-consuming petty void that our politics have become, and it's about time the GOP lend a hand. — From UWIRE. Kevin Bunkley for The Hoya at Georgetown U. ↑ CAMPUS University environmental progress is encouraging As world leaders convene in Cancun to address the challenge of climate change, few observers expect a consensus to form on solving the problem. The divisions between developing and affluent nations, energy producers and energy consumers — to say nothing of the domestic disputes between left and right — appear unbridgeable for now. So if you're looking for an antidote to your cynicism on one of the great problems confronting our generation, don't look to Cancun. Instead, look no further than Mount Oread. This month brought the welcome news that the University has improved its score on the 2011 College Sustainability Report Card. Despite highly publicized efforts to emphasize locally cultivated food and ramp up recycling, the University had previously been mired in the C-range. This year, though, the University earned a B. There is no question that there's room to improve. But the upward trend is an encouraging one. One area that drew the report's effusive praise was the University's investment priorities. The administration's focus on green buildings, recycling and staying local brought a grade of A in that category. While the University to date has lagged in eco-friendly construction, the commitments of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little to enhance energy conservation on campus garnered the report's recognition. A good grade on investments indicates the report's judgment that the University is headed in the right direction. It's important not to lose sight of the central role of student organizations in fostering this progress. Under the leadership of President Michael Wade Smith and Vice President Megan Ritter, the Student Senate has aimed high in its quest to instill environmentally friendly Politics on Campus MICHAEL TOMLINSON practices at the University. Moreover, KU Sustainability and other ecologically-minded groups provide the determination and support base required to make the Senate and Administration's objectives a reality. BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com The University's performance on its latest progress report illustrates a fundamental truth about effecting change. The inability of national and international actors to reach an accord on capping carbon emissions is both morally and economically inexcusable. Without a political solution, it will be impossible to spur the investment needed to avert the worst-case scenarios of climate change. But it is equally true that absent the will of people everywhere to change the way they go about such mundane tasks as disposing of waste, using electricity, consuming food, transporting themselves, and building their homes and offices all the political will in the world will prove inadequate. The old cliché about thinking globally and acting locally has a great deal of merit. In a globalized society, the imperative for global action to confront global problems is particularly acute. But the actions of local communities can demonstrate to the global powers-that-be that being environmentally conscious and morally and economically thriving are not mutually exclusive.

The Franklin R. Shirley Debate Tournament was held Nov. 20-23 in Winston-Salem, N.C. 142 teams from 61 schools competed. Sean Kennedy, a junior from Leawood, and Dylan Quigley, a senior from Wichita, won 12 debates over three days to win the tournament. In the semi-finals, the pair defeated the No.2 team in the country from Harvard University. In the finals, they defeated the Emory University team that finished last year as the top-ranked team in the country. "The success at Wake Forest was the culmination of a very successful first semester for the Kansas debate team," assistant debate coach Lindsey Shook said in a press release. Going into the Wake Forest tournament, the Kansas debate squad was ranked fourth in the country in the coaches poll behind Northwestern, Emory and Harvard. Kennedy and Quigley were the seventh-ranked individual team in the country and Kansas debaters Patrick Kennedy, a junior from Leawood, and Matthew Petersen, a senior from Wichita, were ranked 18th. Kennedy and Peterson won six debates at the Wake Forest tournament and finished as the 12th seeded team at the tournament. Melanie Campbell, a sophomore from Lenaea, and Mark Wilkins, a junior from Topeka, also won six debates and finished as the 13th seed at the tournament. "While we are incredibly excited about winning the final major tournament of the first semester for the first time since 1999, we will have to work even harder to achieve the goal of winning the final major tournament of the second semester, the National Debate Tournament," debate coach Scott Harris said in a press release.

New course mirrors global organization The Center of Latin American Studies is offering a new spring course where students will assume the responsibilities of the world's oldest regional organization — the Organization of American States (OAS). "While they get the literature and the culture partly in the Spanish department, here they get to really know something about the politics and something about the traditions," Herzfeld said. She encouraged students who were getting a degree in Spanish and had an interest in Latin America to pursue the department and consider the course. OAS consists of the 35 independent states in North and South America and serves somewhat as a United Nations for the Americas, discussing social, political and economic issues. The Model Organization of American States (MOAS) Seminar will be open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Different professors will speak at each seminar to promote the course's interdisciplinary approach. Daphne Hiatt, a May 2010 graduate, got to experience the OAS at work in real life as an intern in Washington, D.C. Hiatt will complete her internship Friday. Hiatt, who was in town over Thanksgiving break, said the three-month internship had flown by. She joined about 70 interns primarily from Latin America and the Caribbean. She said the model program considered the same current events that the OAS covered each day.

Kansas has now won the tournament both times it has participated in the event. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN LAS VEGAS — Kansas faced its first test Saturday. It passed by almost every measure ... just not the one Las Vegas counts. A late Arizona layup covered the 8.5-point spread, but Kansas picked up its first quality win of the season, 87-79, behind all-tournament team performances from Travis Releford and Markieff Morris and a tournament MVP showing from Marcus Morris. The Jayhawks trailed in the second half for the first time all season, but after a pair of Tyshawn Taylor free throws gave Kansas a one-point lead with eight-and-a-half minutes to play, the Jayhawks never gave it up. "It was good," coach Bill Self said of the team's first test. "We won and we had to make some plays to do it." "It was good for us to get behind in the second half and see what we're made of," Self said. "I think we responded pretty well." They needed every bit of the Kansas bench — and needed the reserves at the top of their game — when both Morris twins got into foul trouble early in the first half, and stayed in it until the final buzzer.

Stands empty at Showdown BY KORY CARPENTER Jerry Wang/KANSAN kcarpenter@kansan.com There were more than 25,000 empty seats for Saturday's Border Showdown in the newly renovated Arrowhead Stadium. Those seats symbolized the 25,000 fans who said 'no thanks' to watching a rivalry that's considered among the best in college sports. There's a great chance that many of those fans watched a few Kansas or Missouri games this season before making their decision to stay home. They saw the often mediocre Tiger defense actually turn into a force this year, teaming up with Gary Pinkel's annual high-powered and explosive offense. They probably saw the Kansas offense as well and had a few words to describe its season, words that didn't include high-powered or explosive. Sure, rivalry games are supposed to be close. But when the matchup was as lopsided as it wason Saturday, a 28-point loss wasn't surprising. The previous three Border Showdowns were decided by a combined 13 points, so casual fans probably thought the 2010 edition would be similar. gave up three quick touchdowns in the first half.

"Probably not," said Gill. "Sometimes in a game you try to do certain things, and you do whatever you can to make plays." Did Sims get as many carries as the team wanted? Webb, who returned to the starting lineup after being labeled 100 percent healthy, certainly didn't look it on Saturday, completing only seven passes for 45 yards as well as throwing two interceptions There were really no other options for the coaching staff, however. In a perfect world, the Jayhawks would've run the ball. Moving forward, Gill said he wants speed and athleticism at all positions. It was something the Jayhawks lacked at many positions this year, and it's something they will need in 2011 as the schedule gets considerably tougher, with matchups against the entire Big 12 South as well as a road game against Georgia Tech. controlling the clock and keeping Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert on the sideline.

What a great time to gather with family, eat a lot of food and watch football. Thanksgiving is a time to remember the things you are thankful for but often take for granted. I am thankful for sports.

The sporting world allows us to escape from the drag of our daily lives. escape from the drag of our daily lives I tried to imagine attending the University of Kansas but never going to a sporting event. That image helped me realize how glad I am that there are sports. BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com I have many memories and have learned a lot of lessons from playing sports as a kid. It's safe to say that my experiences with playing different sports on different teams have helped shape who I am today. It is hard to imagine reconstructing my childhood without sports, and erasing all of those memories. Sports have produced events that have turned into holidays. I always look forward to Super Bowl Sunday. Sports also can be very powerful. A team can unite a city and lift its spirits (see New Orleans Saints 2009-2010 season). Or in some cases, a single sporting event can give a whole country hope (see the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey match versus an overpowering Russia squad, or just watch the movie "Miracle"). Sports carry on in the midst of war and hardships, and create an alternate reality for those who wish to escape their world for a few hours. THE MORNING BREW Little-leaguers everywhere pick out their favorite players, and are inspired to work hard and be just like them. The classical upset gives people hope to achieve the improbable, whether that be taking the good-looking blonde in math class out on a date, or receiving an A in calculus. So, as you can see, sports play several different roles in society, and lives would be altered considerably if sports were not present. We often take sports for granted, but Thanksgiving gave me the opportunity to rethink things and be thankful that sports are around.

Nnemkadi Ogwumike added 22 points and seven boards and her freshman sister, Chiney, scored 14 for the Cardinal, who moved coach Tara VanDerveer (798-195) within two victories of joining the elite 800 club.

VanDerveer has one of her deepest teams yet at Stanford and regularly switched players in and out to keep them fresh — getting balanced contributions from throughout the lineup. Stanford's stingy man-to-man defense caused Texas trouble and made it difficult to penetrate against the taller, more athletic Cardinal.

He threw down an alley-oop with one hand on a lob from junior guard Tyshawn Taylor, putting the team up 75-68. Senior guard Tyrel Reed thought that it was a turning point in the game. He said the dunk boosted some energy into the crowd and into the team. "I was trailing it," Reed said. "I was right next to Tyshawn and I knew he was going to throw it and it was a good pass, but it was an even better catch. Coach tells us to go with two hands every time, but there was no way he was going to get that with two hands." The dunk not only fired the fans up, who started to jump in their seats, but it also got the Jayhawks going, who started to pull away late in the game. "It was alright," Robinson said of the dunk. "I think it was a big momentum boost for us. Any time somebody gets a dunk, it's a game changer."

"Coming out, we knew it was going to be a tough game," sophomore guard Travis Releford said. "Once we went down and came back and took the lead, I think that was the best part of the game." Kansas was tied with Arizona at 60 with 8:31 to go in the game. but the Jayhawks finished on a 27-19 run. Robinson's dunk seemed to deflate Arizona and its fans, which were outnumbered around four to one by Kansas' fans. Jayhawk fans' chants overpowered those of Arizona. When Robinson climbed the ladder, Orleans Arena sounded like it was Allen Fieldhouse. The fans weren't the only ones impressed with Robinson's dunk. Coach Self was too.

The twins' foul trouble was a product of Williams' impressive play, who had NBA scouts raving throughout with a 27-point, eight-rebound tour-de-force that rivaled the twins' combined 31 points and 12 rebounds. The game wasn't closed out until Williams' fifth foul sent him to the bench with Arizona trailing 77-72 with 2:27 remaining in the game. Kansas scored the next four points to take an all-but-insurmountable nine-point lead with more than a minute left. "He's a good player, I take my hat off to him," Robinson said. "He's a pro. We couldn't guard him," Self said. "One of the big keys to the game was that their big guy fouled out and ours didn't. But he's terrific. I don't think anybody would argue the point that he was the best player on the floor." "The way we play now, getting after it defensively, it's going to be tough to play with just eight guys," Releford said. "Then with foul trouble, other guys have got to step up and play. I don't think there's any way we play with just eight guys for the rest of the year." Friday after trouncing Ohio, Self said held begin to pare down his rotation to his traditional eight players against Arizona. Foul trouble prevented him from doing it Saturday, and Releford said he didn't know if it was going to happen. But as Saturday's game proved, one player can't win a basketball game. And the lajhwakes have a stable of them.

Morris led the Jayhawks in scoring with 16 Saturday night, and was named the MVP of the 2010 Las Vegas invitation following Kansas' 87-79 victory over the Wildcats. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN CHAMPIONS --- The team huddles up with the championship trophy from the 2010 Las Vegas Invitational Saturday night at Orleans Arena. Kansas defeated Ohio and Arizona while in Las Vegas, and has now won the event both times it has participated. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN KANSAS 10 Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor lunges to steal the ball from Arizona guard Brendon Lavender. Taylor was one of six Jayhawks to score in double digits in Kansas' 87-79 victory over Arizona in the final game of the 2010 Las Vegas Invitational. Game to remember Bill Self said he was going to start paring down his traditional eight-man rotation with the Arizona game. If that's true, Releford forced his way into the eight with an all-tournament team performance. His 10 points and four rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench were crucial in Saturday's 87-79 victory. A. J. BOWMAN Releford Travis Releford Game to forget Brady Morningstar Bill Self loves Morningstar on the floor, and the senior guard contributes with all the intangibles. But there's just not enough of an offensive presence to his game to warrant him getting 29 minutes in a game where the Jayhawks needed scorers. Morningstar finished with two points on 0-of-2 shooting and two assists.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Penn State routs Furman, sets season-high with 3s ASSOCIATED PRESS STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Tailor Battle had 19 points and six assists, and Penn State hit a season-high 12 of 19 from the 3-point arc to rout Furman 70-49 on Sunday. David Jackson added 16 points and Jeff Brooks had 13 for the Nittany Lions (5-1), who recovered nicely following their first loss of the season, at Mississippi on Friday. Penn State's long-range shooting overwhelmed Furman's defense, whether zone or man. The Nittany Lions led 22-17 at 7:57 of the first half before Jackson hit a three-point play, and Brooks and Battle sank 3s on consecutive possessions to make it a 14-point lead less than two minutes later. Furman (3-2) got no closer than 10 the rest of the way, hurt in part by boul trouble to third-leading scorer Noah States. The senior forward sat on the bench for much of the first half with three fouls. Amu Saakal the Paladins with 10 points on 5 of 15 shooting. Furman, picked to finish fifth in its division in the Southern Conference, hung close early to Penn State with its own hot shooting. Saaka's jumper was sandwiched by two 3s from Darryl Evans, the second with a hand in his face on the wing to draw Furman within five. Evans finished with six points. But Penn State continued to hit shots from long range, while Furman had trouble against the Nittany Lions' athletic defense. Furman tried to pound it inside, but those shots didn't fall either. After a 3 by Cammeron Woodyard, Tim Frazier tipped away a pass in the backcourt and missed a layup on the break, but Battle was there to convert an easy offensive rebound for a 36-21 lead at 3:07 in the first half. Battle is the star at Penn State, but the early success by Brooks and Jackson is a confidence-builder ahead of Wednesday night's tough home game against Maryland. Coach Ed DeChellis hopes Brooks, especially, can assume some of the scoring load heaped on Battle once Big Ten play begins. Brooks through his first five games was averaging a team-high 18.2 points. Johnson and Finnegan fight again ASSOCIATED PRESS NFL HOUSTON — Andre Johnson finally had enough from Cortland Finnegan, sparking a fistfight for which both were ejected, and that could lead to further discipline from the NFL. The Texans snapped a fourgame losing streak while Johnson and Finnegan were ejected for an ugly two-man brawl in the fourth quarter of a 20-0 Houston win over Tennessee on Sunday. Arian Foster rushed for 143 yards and caught nine passes for the Texans (5-6), who were on their way to their first shutout since 2004 when Johnson and Finnegan began slugging it out midway through the fourth quarter. Tennessee's Finnegan set it off by pushing up Johnson's face mask at the line of scrimmage. Johnson ripped off Finnegan's helmet and landed at least two punches to Finnegan's head and neck. Finnegan tore off Johnson's helmet before players and referees intervened. The game was halted for more than five minutes as officials sorted out the chaos. Johnson received a standing ovation as security guards escorted him off the field. Finnegan taunted booing fans as he exited out the opposite tunnel. Quin set a franchise record with three interceptions off Titans rookie quarterback Rusty Smith, who struggled in his first career start. This was Round 2 between them. Last season. Last season, Johnson was fined $7,500 for taking Finnegan to the ground by the facemask. Smith replaced Houston native Vince Young, who argued with Johnson was fined $7,500 for taking Finnegan to the ground by the facemask during a scuffle after a play in a 34-31 Texans win. The incident came at the end of a tumultuous week for the Titans (5-6), who've lost four in a row. Houston cornerback Glover Titans coach Jeff Fisher after he was taken out of last week's loss to Washington with a thumb injury. Young was placed on injured reserve and apologized to Fisher via text message. Young did not join his team for Sunday's game. Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger was on the sideline calling plays after he was diagnosed with cancer this week. He's due to start chemotherapy Monday.

It was Kansas' second road victory in conference play this year, and its first win at Oklahoma since 2005. The Jayhawk offense was effective and efficient against the Sooners. Senior outside hitters Jenna Kaiser and Karina Garlington, together with redshirt freshman Caroline Jarmoc, scored double-digit kills and high-hitting percentages. Kaiser recorded 14 kills and no attack errors, while Jarmoc scored 10 with only one error for a match-high efficiency of .692. Attack errors have been a problem for the Jayhawks through much of the season, but they ended Saturday's match with only seven. The win improves Kansas' record to 17-14 overall and 8-12 in conference play. The Jayhawks have not recorded 17 wins since 2004. Kansas took an early lead with three straight points to open the set. The Jayhawks stayed just a few points ahead for the entire match as the teams traded points, but the Sooners could never close the gap. Kansas hit a .433 hitting efficiency in the set and won 25-21. The Jayhawks took an early lea again in the second set only to see the Sooners tie the game at 12-12 and again at 13-13. Oklahoma gained the advantage at 19-15, but Kansas responded with five straight points to regain the lead. Kaiser contributed two kills to the effort and put up a block together with sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree. Kaiser was important in the latter part of the set, scoring four of her six kills in the last 10 points. Howard Ting/KANSAN With the score tied 21-21, the Jayhawks put together another offensive run with four straight points to end the set. Kaiser started it off again with a kill, followed by a block with Jarmoc. Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield contributed a timely service ace — one of her three Saturday — and Jarmoc closed out the set with a kill to give Kansas the set 25-21. 7 Freshman libero Brianne Riley helped limit the Sooners to a.151 hitting percentage in the second set where Riley recorded nine of her 16 digs. Kansas recorded 11 service aces in the match, which is the most for a Big 12 conference match in 2010. Kansas started the third set with a five-point run, which was enough to push through to a victory at 25-16. Oklahoma reacted early, closing the deficit to 5-4, but Mayfield and Kaiser led the Kansas offense through another five straight points, getting ahead 10-4.

"It's great to get a winning season," coach Mike Smith said. "But the expectations and goals we talk about are a lot higher than that." Bryant had to make his winning kick twice. The Packers called a timeout just before he knocked his first attempt right down the middle. No problem. The 35-year-old had already made two game-winning kicks this season, and No. 3 had plenty of distance as it hooked slightly but stayed several feet The Falcons weren't concerned after Green Bay scored, especially with Ryan at quarterback.

It began with a loss to FCS member North Dakota State and included a 59-7 loss at home to Kansas State. But after the Jayhawks' loss to rival Missouri 35-7 on Saturday, the entire season can be more easily put into perspective and it wasn't all bad. This season had more exciting moments than last year's 5-7 Jayhawk team had. There was a 28-25 win at home against 15th ranked Georgia Tech. Fans had the chance to rush the field afterwards in what was easily the most exciting moment at the time since the Jayhawks had won the Insight Bowl two seasons prior. A couple months later, the Jayhawks pulled off the greatest comeback in school history, scoring 35 points in the fourth quarter to come back after being down 28 points to Colorado. In the Jayhawks' last test of the season against Missouri, they stayed competitive for a large part of the game and found themselves only down 21-7 at one point in the third quarter before ultimately allowing the Tigers to take control. "I think Missouri gave us more motivation and to come back after the offseason as a better team," sophomore quarterback Kale Pick said. The layhawks will have plenty of players at key positions returning next season, including freshman running back lames Sims. Despite an offense that struggled to score points the last three games of the season, Sims provided a glimpse of what could be the future of the lavhawk backfield. Against Missouri, Sims ran the ball a season high 21 times for 82 yards and a touchdown. The Tigers are one of college football's best defenses, giving up on average only 15.2 points per game. "I need to give credit to Missouri's defense, they are a very good defensive football team." Gill said. Sims' touchdown was his ninth of the season, despite not playing in the first game of the season. It capped one of the best freshman seasons from a running back in 17 years. His nine rushing touchdowns were the most by a freshman since June Henley rushed for 13 in 1993. Sims also led the team in rushing yards. He recorded 742 yards on 168 attempts, a 4.4 yard per carry average. Second on the team was senior Angus Quigley who rushed for 262 yards on 71 carries. "As a team we are very young and it has been hard to adapt to new coaches," senior cornerback Chris Harris said. "It's so nothing that we had to get used to, but I see a bright future for the program." Gill said he was very confident about the Kansas football program heading into next season. "Our guys improved every single day and every single week and we just need to go continue to move forward from that," Gill said. "We have a lot of pluses that we can take from this and continue to move forward in the offseason, recruiting, and also next season." Edited by Anna Nordling Season starts and ends with QB uncertainties BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com There wasn't any reason for sophomore Kale Pick to be particularly enthused after Saturday's game. Kansas lost to its biggest rival, Missouri, 35-7 and finished the season 3-9, fewer wins than what the Jayhawks expected coming into the season. As the starter in the Jayhawks' season opener, Pick was moved to wide receiver a couple of weeks ago and saw the field only after Junior cornerback Daymond Patterson suffered an injury. Next year's returning players still have something to look forward to, as they can expect to battle for a position while acclimating further to coach Turner Gill's style. But Pick doesn't even know if he will be at Kansas next year. "I have to talk to the coaches and see what they have to say," he said after Saturday's game. "Kind of see what they're thinking for next year." Rumors of Pick transferring spread earlier in the year, but he quickly dispelled them at the time. He caught one pass for nine yards in the game against Mizzou and said he was pleased with how quickly hed made the transition to wide receiver in just two games. But the jayhawks entered ended the season with the same question: Who is the starting quarterback? Gill didn't have the answers either. And he was honest in analyzing how his three quarterbacks looked throughout the season. "At best, maybe OK," he said. From the first game forward, the constantly revolving door of starting quarterbacks made it difficult to fully grasp any of next year's candidates. Pick started one game and was benched. A concussion then sidelined him until he ended up as a receiver. Freshman Jordan Webb was just that: a freshman. He got the bulk of the starts (seven) then injured his shoulder, which caused him to miss a few games. After the Missouri game, Gill said Webb suffered a concussion in the play just before he came out. With Pick and Webb down, Gill called upon junior transfer Quinn Mecham to start a fourgame stretch, including the thrilling comeback against Colorado. Overall, his stats didn't jump off of the page and Webb's return put him back on bench. Against the Tigers, all three players made an appearance. The constant swapping in and out created an air of inconsistency. For instance, Mecham's first pass after Webb went down was an interception. "It's frustrating for any position," Pick said about all of the substitutions. "I understand where Quinn is coming from, coming into the game down 21. I've been there." Gill said he had a hard time dealing with injuries, but at the same time only saw flashes of great play this year. "We hope we have a quarterback that can start 12 games and be there on a consistent basis;" he said. Pick might not be one of those guys. He said he didn't know if he was going to compete for the starting job next year, even if he staved. Just like everyone else, he couldn't give any insight to the quarterback battle. And with Pick's status up in the air, the Jayhawks may have left Saturday's game with more questions then they started it with. "I'm not sure," Pick said of the future quarterback situation. "We've got something that we need to get figured out." Edited by Dana Meredith 57 VOL. 12 Kansas 0 Missouri 0 | 7 | 0 - 7 14 | 7 | 7 | 7 — 35 Jayhawk Stat Leaders Rushing Passing D. BABAHIA James Sims 82 yds YOUNG JOHN BURKLEY Jordan Webb 45 yds Receiving PARKER Johnathan Wilson 11 yds Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Offense Defense Jordan Webb was disappointing in his return to the starting quarterback role, netting only 45 passing yards and two interceptions. James Sims didn't get as many carries as the coaches originally wanted, but he was still able to get 82 yards on the ground as well as grabbing the only Kansas touchdown on the day. C-. The first 18 minutes were abysmal. The Missouri offense marched down the field and reached the endzone on three of their first four possessions, and that was enough for the rest of the game. The Jayhawk defense tightened up, but the damage was done. C. Jacob Branstetter missed his only field goal attempt, a 43-yard midway through the first quarter. The Tigers often kicked away from D.J. Beshears, knowing his potential to break off a huge kick return. Beshears was only able to return three kicks for 54 yards because of Misouri's strategy. B. Special Teams Coaching The coaches wanted to run the ball, but the first quarter onslaught by Missouri made that nearly impossible. Down 21 points most of the game, the coaches probably tried to stick with the running game too long, as their only scoring drive took nearly six minutes off the clock. The cornerbacks played well off their receivers, allowing Tiger quarterback Blaine Gabbert to slowly march down the field with short routes on their scoring drives. D+. Turning Point Missouri running back Kendial Lawrence's 31-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave the Tigers a 21-0 lead. - The Jayhawks passed for only 45 yards for the entire game. - The Tigers' defense only allowed 141 total yards of offense to Kansas.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2010 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 69 THE FAST TRACK Alumnus creates collaborative Kenyan runners program BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com High up in the 7,000-foot altitude of Mount Kenya, running is life. One University alumnus is tapping into the level of success and passion Kenyan runners are made of — both by taking athletes to Africa and by providing ways for them to compete around the world. Mike Solomon, a 1971 graduate and former track and field athlete, has begun an international training exchange program called Sport Exchange, along with elite trainers and coaches in Kenya. The goal of this new program is to encourage international cohesion on an athletic front. "I always thought that with the Americans lagging behind in distance running, this was the only way to improve," Solomon said. "To go there and train with their best guys and their national coaches." Frank Murithi poses between two Kenyan runners. Murithi trains with the runners on Mount Kenya. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Gitonga, are trying to harness that success for young American athletes. However, Solomon's friend and fellow University alumnus Dan Waters said the American college athletics system for track and field is the best in the world. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO In the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Kenyans won half of the medals in distances of more than 800 meters, including two gold medals. They also won gold in the marathon, a 25.32 mile run. Solomon and his colleagues, Frank Murithi and Lawrence Waters, who ran track at Kansas between 1990 and 1995 and is now an assistant coach at Texas A&M, said he wouldn't trade the training athletes in the states for any other in the world while in college. It is after college when he thinks Solomon's program would benefit athletes. DACON MARVEL SUMMIT Michael Solomon "In order to beat the best you have to train with the best," Waters said of athletes who are pursuing track and field after college. "So going to Kenya and training with some of the best athletes in the world gives you great exposure and opens your eyes and your mind as to what it takes to be "sensitive at the highest level." "Everything from our climate to our nutrition makes Kenyan runners strong," Murithi said via Skype from Kenya. type of improvement that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. Murithi, an athletics manager who has managed and trained multiple Kenyan athletes to international standards, said training in Kenya is more intense than many other parts of the world, and their location and environment foster a He added that the Kenyan running spirit is contagious to visiting athletes who have trained with him. It might be the completely natural diet and fresh cow milk that the runners drink every morning. "You'll never want to leave Kenya," Murithi said. "We make you feel like a true Kenyan." The trouble right now is getting word out to American athletes who are willing to accept Kenya as a temporary home. Solomon said college athletes are so busy year-round with school and sports that taking a semester to go to Africa isn't always possible. Solomon and Murithi are also involved in obtaining athletic However, Solomon and Murithi are working with the United States International University in Nairobi and other universities to establish a sort of study abroad program. This would allow college athletes to train there and miss out on earning credit hours for graduation. scholarships for Kenyan runners in the United States. In the early 1970s, Solomon began working for the Texas at El Paso track and field team. There, he witnessed one of the first schools in the country to recruit and even fill their roster with foreign athletes, many of them Kenyans. When he began working at UTEP, they had two or three Kenyan athletes. Now they have 10. There are only 15 athletes from the U.S. on their 41-athlete roster. Solomon and Murithi said most of the runners in Kenya come from poor families, and running scholarships are one of their only ways out of Kenya. However, many of them return after their education. "He is offering an opportunity for athletes that are in a country not as developed as the United States and offers them a chance to get a degree from a university here in the states and take it back to their country and possibly help develop it," Waters said of Solomon's and Murithi's program. gram didn't extend their recruiting efforts to an international level until the late 1980s. The Kansas track and field team only has four foreign athletes on the team, two from Jamaica and two from Europe. Waters said that the Kansas track and field proto outreach director and creating a new position, the development director. The duties assigned to each position would also change under the restructuring. Solomon is working on advertising for Sport Exchange here in the states, through different running publications. He has spent the last 10 years traveling between Kenya, Ethiopia and the Middle East promoting Sport Exchange and recruiting athletes. Sport Exchange has yet to host an American university athlete, but Solomon thinks the inexpensiveness and the value of training with professional athletes will draw athletes in the near future. The international competitive pace is quickening, and Solomon is trying to keep the United States up to the standard. Edited by Leslie Kinsman There's always room for cello .

STUDENT SENATE Executive staff changes may be delayed BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com Student Senator Aaron Harris asked the Court of Appeals for an injunction that would prevent Senate from drafting a proposed bill on Wednesday. The bill, which was proposed by Student Body President Michael Wade Smith, outlines a plan to restructure the Student Senate Executive Staff. The Court of Appeals will make a ruling on Harris' request tonight. Senate will have its last meeting of the semester on Wednesday. If the court issues the injunction, Senate will be barred from drafting the bill until mid-January, when classes and Senate resume. Smith outlined his restructuring plan in front of Senate on Nov. 10. At least three senators raised concerns about his proposed changes at that time, including Harris, a non-traditional senator and junior from Kansas City, Kan. At the meeting, Smith said the restructuring would take effect the following day, but few of the changes have yet occurred. The proposed changes include combining the community affairs director and legislative director into one position, changing the job title of communications director According to Smith's interpretation of Senate's Rules and Regulations, the student body president is allowed to change the job descriptions of executive staff members as he or she sees fit. But Harris said the student body president was only allowed to make short-term changes to executive staff. He said legislation was required for the types of permanent changes Smith wanted to implement. Harris said he wasn't concerned with Smith's proposed changes to the executive staff, but rather Smith's approach to implementing those changes. Harris said formal legislation needed to pass before restructuring could take effect. "We're taking a very liberal approach to our interpretation and I'll recognize that," Smith said. "But I don't think it's outside of the rules." Though Smith disagreed with Harris, he agreed to present the legislation needed to formalize the changes. "It's not a big enough deal for us, if they had concerns, to not present something." Smith said. ent a bill in late February or early March to solidify the new executive staff structure in Rules and Regulations. Waiting until the spring semester would give the executive staff time to "test the waters," Smith and other staff members said. Smith originally planned to pres. "For us to present legislation now would be ineffective and hinder the possibilities of what Alex can do," said Megan Ritter, student body vice president. Under the restructuring, Atea Earles would become the development director. In his request to the Court of Appeals, Harris said that if Senate drafted legislation Wednesday, it would legitimize "the illegal actions of the student body president." None of the four committees reviewed the legislation two weeks ago. Smith would need to move Senate into committee as a whole, a rare procedural tactic, to pass it Wednesday. 9 Harris said Smith had already set a dangerous precedent by trying to implement the changes without the Senate's consent. Though Harris supports formal legislation, he said Senate needed more time to make its decision. "It if came down to that there is enough support," Harris said. "It would pass no problem and no one would think the better of it." Smith said he would appeal to the University's Judicial Board if the Court of Appeals approved the injunction. — Edited by Roshni Oommen INDEX Basketball ticket pick-up today and Wednesday - USC Pick up your tickets for the following games: Classifieds ... 8A Crossword ... 4A Cryptoquips ... 4A Opinion ... 5A Sports ... 10A Sudoku ... 4A - Texas-Arlington - Miami - Miami - UMKC - Nebraska - Nebra: Texas - texas - Kansas State KANSAS 24 What's on your iPod?

INTERNATIONAL U.K. colleges a cheap alternative for American students MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LONDON — Not everyone who attended the University of St. Andrews, in Scotland, around 2001 — when Prince William was the man about campus — expected to marry the grandson of a queen. As tuition at U.S. colleges increasingly becomes less affordable for many, and as spots at the most competitive institutions more and more resemble gold dust, some American high schoolers are looking to the U.K.to meet their educational needs. It's true that St. Andrews is a popular choice for U.S. college students to pursue a degree abroad, but the college offers more than just the potential for proximity to royalty — or the opportunity to improve your golf game. It's almost heresy to say it right now here in the U.K., what with English students recently taking to the streets in protest at the government's proposal to raise tuition fees to no less than 6,000 pounds a year (just under $10,000) for some domestic enrollees, but the fact remains that, by U.S. standards, St. Andrews, like other universities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, remains a "cheap" place to get an education. And if you're lucky enough to be able to claim "home" or "European Union" status, this figure — though set to triple or even quadruple from 2012 onwards for some institutions Tuition fees in the U.K. vary from institution to institution, and also from region to region, but the cost for an overseas undergraduate at St. Andrews for the academic year 2009-10 would be about $19,000. south of the Scottish border under the British coalition government's aggressive overhauls to higher-education funding — would be just shy of $3,000 a year. Most, in fact, are closer to $40,000 a year, and quite a few top that level. Even to study in the University of Oxford's hallowed halls would cost a U.S. student just over $20,000 for an undergraduate program of study. (The fee would be about $4,700 for a U.K. student.) Much easier is to do the math. Every single college that features in the top 20 of the U.S. News and World Report's most recent ranking of best U.S. colleges costs at least $34,000 a year in tuition and fees. time zones, foul weather and the cultural labyrinth resulting from two nations divided, as the saying goes, by a common language. diverse curricula, while others are two-year institutions of varied quality and focus, which makes it tricky to compare like for like, especially at the international level. However, if you're contemplating spending at the higher end of the scale, there's also approximately $80,000 or more to be saved by simply shipping junior off to this island nation hemmed in by the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. There are more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. according to the Census Bureau. Hundreds of these are technical or vocational colleges with extremely aging applications to higher education programs in the U.K. More than 3,000 normally U.S.-domiciled undergraduate-level students applied to do just that in 2009, according to UCAS, the organization responsible for man- And while only 1,330 were actually accepted, according to UCAS, the relatively modest numbers mask a rising trend. There has been a 27 percent increase in undergraduate applications from U.S. students since 2006, while the total number of U.S. students studying for full degrees at British higher-education institutions as of 2009 stands at just more than 14,000, data from the U.K.'s Higher Education Statistics Agency show.

At least that's what narrator Peter Coyote said during Monday night's screening of the Len Richmond film, "What if cannabis cured cancer." The film was shown during a meeting for the University's chapter of The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. According to their website, since its founding in 1970, NORML has provided a voice for Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition, favoring an end to the practice of arresting marijuana smokers. NORML continues to lead the fight to reform state and federal marijuana laws. Established in the spring of 2010, the university's chapter of NORML is the first organization of its kind to hit campus. Jacob Fox, a sophomore from Philadelphia, Penn, and the clubs president, used the film as a capstone for the final meeting of the semester. "It's just a great film and there is just so much medical information about the benefits of marjuana that I can't even fully understand," Fox said. "Maybe that's why I've seen it a few times." About 30 students showed up in Stauffer-Flint for the film, which explored the medical aspects of marijuana and discussed how its chemical components make it less harmful than alcohol and other illegal substances. According to the film, China began using marijuana as a medicine in 2727 BC and even Queen Victoria was called "kind of a pothead." The film stated that she used marijuana to alleviate her painful menstrual cramps. Emily Page, a senior from Liberty, Mo., and secretary of the club, said a lot of people don't bother to go out and find actual facts regarding the illegal substance, relying on preconceived notions instead. "When I started researching the medical effects on cancer, I was floored." Page said. Out of the many chemical compounds found in marijuana, some have been found to essentially treat cancer. Marijuana has four major cannabinoids, a type of compound found in marijuana. The cannabinoid cannabidiol can relieve a number of ailments such as nausea and anxiety. An article in Science Daily in 2007 reported that researchers at Harvard University found that the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread. But marijuana doesn't just fight cancer once its introduced to our bodies. According to the film, similar compounds are already in us. "Each and everyone of us is fundamentally made to respond to marijuana." According to the cannabis medical dictionary, endocannabinoids are natural compounds within the human body that are essentially identical to medicinal compounds found in cannabis. The endocannabinoid system regulates many aspects of health. Despite the reported health benefits of medicinal marijuana, prescribing it is only legal in 15 states. Page said the resistance to legalization boils down to money and certain industries like tobacco and alcohol. "Because of the existing infrastructures, it's just not possible," Page said. While marijuana remains at the forefront of political discussions across the country, at the local level NORML club members seek to destroy stereotypes and convey what they consider to be "the truth" behind cannabis. The film concluded with a Raph Waldo Emerson quote pondering that very truth. "What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered."

Associated Press Small house market blossoms after real estate industry busts ASSOCIATED PRESS GRATON, Calif.—As Americans downsize in the aftermath of a colossal real estate bust, at least one tiny corner of the housing market appears to be thriving. To save money or simplify their lives, a small but growing number of Americans are buying or building homes that could fit inside many people's living rooms, according to entrepreneurs in the small house industry. Some put these wheeled homes in their backyards to use as offices, studios or extra bedrooms. Others use them as mobile vacation homes they can park in the woods. But the most intrepid of the tiny house owners live in them full-time, paring down their possessions and often living off the grid. "It's very un-American in the sense that living small means consuming less," said Jay Shafer, 46, cofounder of the Small House Society, sitting on the porch of his wooden cabin in California wine country. "Living in a small house like this really entails knowing what you need to be happy and getting rid of everything else." Shafer, author of "The Small House Book," built the 89-square-foot house himself a decade ago and lived in it full-time until his son was born last year. Inside a space the size of an ice cream truck, he has a kitchen with gas stove and sink, bathroom with shower, two-water porch, bedroom loft and a "great room" where he can work and entertain — as long as he doesn't invite more than a couple guests. He and his family now live in relatively sprawling 500-square foot home next to the tiny one. Shafer, co-owner of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, designs and builds miniature homes with a minimalist style that prizes quality over quantity and makes sure no cubic inch goes to waste. Most can be hooked up to public utilities. The houses, which pack a range of amenities in spaces smaller than some people's closets, are sold for $40,000 to $50,000 ready-made, but cost half as much if you build it yourself. Tumbleweed's business has grown significantly since the housing crisis began, Shafer said. He now sells about 50 blueprints, which cost $400 to $1,000 each, a year, up from 10 five years ago. The eight workshops he teaches around the country each year attract 40 participants on average, he said. "People's reasons for living small vary a lot, but there seems to be a common thread of sustainability," Shafer said. "A lot of people don't want to use many more resources or put out more emissions than they have to." Compared to trailers, these little houses are built with higher-quality materials, better insulation and eye-catching design. But they still have wheels that make them portable — and allow owners to get around housing regulations for stationary homes. Since the housing crisis and recession began, interest in tiny homes has grown dramatically among young people and retiring Baby Boomers, said Kent Griswold, who runs the Tiny House Blog, which attracts 5,000 to 7,000 visitors a day. "In the last couple years, the idea's really taken off," Griswold said. "There's been a huge interest in people downsizing and there are a lot of young people who don't want to be tied down with a huge mortgage and want to build their own space." Gregory Johnson, who co-founded the Small House Society with Shafer, said the online community now has about 1,800 subscribers, up from about 300 five years ago. Most of them live in their small houses full-time and swap tips on living simple and small. Johnson, 46, who works as a computer consultant at the University of Iowa, said dozens of companies specializing small houses have popped up around the country over the past few years. Before he got married, Johnson lived for six years in a small cabin he built himself and he wrote a book called "Put Your Life on a Diet: Lessons Learned from Living in 140 Square Feet." "You start to peel away the things that are unnecessary," said Johnson, who now lives in a studio apartment with his wife. "It helps you define your priorities with regard to your material things." Northern California's Sonoma County has become a mini-mecca for the tiny house industry, with an assortment of new businesses launching over the last few years. Stephen Marshall, 63, worked as a building contractor for three decades before the real estate market tanked three years ago. That's when he jumped into the tiny house business, starting Petaluma-based Little House On The Trailer. His company builds and sells small houses that can serve as stand-alone homes equipped with bathrooms and kitchens, and others he calls "A Room of One's Own" that can be used as a home office or extra bedroom. Many of his customers are looking for extra space to accommodate an aging parent or adult children who are returning home, he said. He said his small houses, which sell for $20,000 to $50,000, are much cheaper than building a home addition and can be resold when the extra space is no longer needed. His company has sold 16 houses this year and aims to sell 20 next year. "The business is growing as the public becomes aware of this possibility," Marshall said. "A lot of families are moving in with one another. A lot of young people can't afford to move out. There's just a lot of economic pressure to find an alternative way to provide for people's housing needs." NATIONAL WikiLeaks site may face criminal charges for online information leak ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Striking back, the Obama administration branded the leak of more than a quarter-million sensitive files an attack on the United States Monday and raised the prospect of criminal prosecution against the online site WikiLeaks. The Pentagon detailed new security safeguards, including restraints on small computer flash drives, to make it harder for any one person to copy and reveal so many secrets. The young Army Pfc. suspected of stealing the diplomatic memos, many of them classified, and feeding them to WikiLeaks may have defeated Pentagon security systems using little more than a Lady Gaga CD and a portable computer memory stick. The soldier, Bradley Manning has not been charged in the latest release of internal U.S. government documents. But officials said he is the prime suspect partly because of his own description of how he pulled off a staggering heist of classified and restricted material. "No one suspected a thing," Manning told a confidant afterward, according to a log of his computer chat published by Wired. com. "I didn't even have to hide anything." Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton asserted Monday that WikLeaks acted illegally in posting the material. She said the administration was taking "aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information." Attorney General Eric Holder said the government was mounting a criminal investigation, and the Pentagon was tightening access to information, including restricting the use of computer storage devices such as CDs and flash drives. Holder said the latest disclosure, involving classified and sensitive State Department documents, jeopardized the security of the nation, its diplomats, intelligence assets and relationships with foreign governments. "This is not saber-rattling," Holder said. Anyone found to have broken American law "will be held responsible." "I want you to know that we are taking aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information," Clinton said. She spoke in between calls to foreign capitals to make amends for scathing and gossipy memos never meant for foreign eyes. A weary-looking Clinton agreed. Manning is charged in military court with taking other classified material later published by the online clearinghouse WikiLeaks. It is not clear whether others such as WikiLeaks executives might be charged separately in civilian courts. Clinton said the State Department was adding security protections to prevent another breach. The Pentagon, embarrassed by the apparent ease with which secret documents were passed to In his Internet chat, Manning described the conditions as lax to the point that he could bring a homemade music CD to work with him, erase the music and replace it with secrets. He told the computer Wired.com published a partial log of Manning's discussions with hacker R. Adrian Lamo in June. WikiLeaks, had detailed some of its new precautions Sunday. His motive, according to the chat logs: "I want people to see the truth ... because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public." Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman, said it was possible that many people could be held accountable if they were found to have ignored security protocols or somehow enabled the download without authorization. said he was unaware of any firing or other discipline over the security conditions at Manning's post in Iraq. A senior Defense Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the criminal case against Manning is pending. "Weak servers, weak logging, hacker who would turn him in that lip-synched along with pop singer Lady Gaga's hit "Telephone" while making off with "possibly the largest data spillage in American history." weak physical security, weak counterintelligence, inattentive signal analysis."

Kevin Cook TELEVISION Clothes provide quirkiness for sitcom 'Raising Hope' MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE For Robin Kennedy, clothes mean character. Kennedy is the costume designer for Fox's "Raising Hope," which stars Lucas Neff as Jimmy Chance, a young man living with his parents while raising his infant daughter, who is the happy result of a one-night stand with a serial killer. Critics have praised the show for its heart and quirkiness, and the ratings have been solid enough that Fox recently ordered a full season of episodes. "(Creator and executive producer) Greg Garcia loves T-shirts with logos on them, so we are always looking for something fun and out of the ordinary to use on Jimmy," Kennedy said. Count us among faithful viewers. And what has caught our eye about recent episodes (among many other things) are Jimmy's T-shirts. Bigfoot fights Abraham Lincoln on one. R. Crumb's Mr. Natural appears on another. Our favorite: a shirt with a picture of pancakes on it with the word "Pancakes." Kennedy says the characters often re-wear their clothes "like Kennedy also worked on Garcia's previous series, "My Name Is Earl." She said it wasn't her plan to become a TV series costume designer. Originally from New York, she took a job at a Hollywood costume shop after graduating from design school in Los Angeles "out of necessity." "We also provide all the duplicates for the many stunt people on our show," she said, "and we work with two sets of twins and a stand-in doll." normal people do," but with an average of 10 costume changes per actor, per episode, she likes to keep it fresh. We contacted Kennedy to see if she'd tell us a little about how she goes about her job. She filled us in on the work that goes into Halloween episodes, flashbacks and Jimmy's awesome T-shirts. "I wound up meeting and working with many costume designers that brought their movies, television shows and variety shows into the shop," she said. "I just got hooked." "In the pilot, we established that Jimmy has some artistic talents and would be drawn to more quirky images. Greg initially found the Abraham Lincoln boxing with bigfoot T-shirt on the website www.Glarkware.com, so I contacted the owner, and he gave us permission to use his design on our show. Darling, Yes, one time I did have the urge to study, but I took a nap and quickly got over it. "The script said, 'Maw Maw walks out the front door in a bra and pants? I thought, 'What can I do to instantly make the audience see her as fun and eccentric?' I had the idea to put her in an old-fashioned white bra, brightly colored vintage polyester pants and over-sized vintage costume jewelry. "From our first meeting, Cloris (Leachman) was on board in a big way — she laughed through the entire fitting. It's so rewarding to collaborate with an actor and help them realize who their characters are in both subtle and not so subtle ways. "The pancake T-shirt has its own story. Liam Harty, our postproduction assistant, is a bit like Jimmy — young, artistic, not wanting to spend too much money on clothes. During the making of the pilot, we were desperate to find some additional T-shirt designs.

"Every day Liam would come to work with a different quirky T-shirt on. When I asked him where he got them, he said he makes them. He gets blank T-shirts, iron-on transfers, finds images on the Internet and cranks them out. "So I grabbed Liam in his pancake shirt and brought him into Greg's office. Greg liked it so much we used it in the pilot, and he wrote it into a scene that Jimmy should be ironing the pancake artwork onto the T-shirt while saying his dialogue." (See more of Liam's designs at www.zazzle.com/whaleegg.) A new episode of "Raising Hope" airs at 9 p.m. EST Tuesday on Fox. Past episodes can be found online at Fox.com and Hulu.com.

Those of us who were weaned on 'Shampoo' and 'Broadcast News' and films all the way back to Billy Wilder know it's a genre that can be provocative and insightful about men and woman and have ideas and context," says Zwick during a promotional barnstorming stop. "That's why I wanted to do this movie: to see if I could show the genre was not dead." SAN FRANCISCO Hollywood's recent poor track record with romantic comedies moved writer/director/ producer Ed Zwick to make "Love and Other Drugs." His latest film features Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal as head-strong people who, because they aren't looking for love, spend as much energy fighting their feelings as falling for each other. Zwick has watched as the romantic comedy genre spiraled down into a predictable formula — two actors placed in implausible situations and then put through obligatory paces that end up being neither romantic or comedic. These failures are surprising, Zwick says, since the key to success is so simple: Audiences relate to falling in love. --- "You remember a moment in your life when there was that kind of passion,that attachment, that connection," Zwick says. "It could be a variety of reasons why the audience doesn't like an actor. When they use the word casting, I think about how die is cast," Zwick says. "Part of my job is to be mindful of who those actors are out there in the universe and to meet them and to get to be enchanted by them. But past success is no guarantee of the future. Experience has taught Zwick that there's one unpredictable element when it comes to romantic comedies. Casting — and how the audience feels about the actors — can make or break a film. As a producer, Zwick is responsible for some of television's finest shows about relationships; "Family," "thirty-something," "Once and Again" and "My So-Called Life." He's even instilled a human element in action and suspense movies he's directed, like "The Last Samurai," "Blood Diamond" and "Defiance." "Then I hope that will transition into the audience caring about them." He said watching Gyllenhaal and Hathaway made him only wish he was a better writer.

POLITICS TV stardom doesn't qualify Palin for presidential responsibilities Despite my attempts, this topic cannot be avoided for much longer. The ratings from Sarah Palin's new TLC show prove that America is either still as enchanted with her as we were two years ago, or that we all just can't look away from an impending car crash. Either way, the possibility of her candidacy for the Oval Office in 2012 cannot be denied. It's time to have a brutally honest dialogue about this ex-politician/celebrity's ability to lead our country. Specifically when it comes to foreign policy, Palin has not shown any signs that she has garnered any more knowledge about global topics than she had two years ago in her infamous interview with NBC's Katie Couric. I guess I should give her a break, it was only three years ago that she applied for her first passport. And though she can still see Russia from her backyard, she has yet to engage herself in any substantial dialogue with Russian leaders — or any other foreign leaders for that matter. She has not put these last two years of political off time to gain the international experience voters expect of a presidential candidate. Let's Talk Policy BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansae.com As recently as Wednesday she showcased her lack of knowledge in an interview on Glenn Beck's radio show in which she said, "We gotta stand with our North Korean allies." Just a verbal mistake? Most likely. But still we cannot forget how much time and energy the McCain team reportedly put into giving Palin a crash course in world history and events. She even writes in her tell-all memoir "Going Rogue" about how frustrated and embarrassed she was with these tutoring sessions July of 2010 sums up what the Tea Partiers and Mama Grizzly herself had to say about the world beyond America during the midterms. Palin has a lot to criticize the Obama administration about — she calls his agenda one that "reeks of complacency and defeatism" — but offers no solutions herself. America still has no clue what calls Palin would likely make in the Situation Room, or if she knows what the Situation Room is at all. It's time we start demanding the same level of experience and knowledge from her that we do to all presidential hopefuls. At the least it's worth having a conversation about, right after you watch her new show of course CARTOON Although she states in her commercials, I'd rather be out here bein' free than in some stuffy political office," it's looking more and more likely she'll trade in the Alaskan wilderness to campaign for the ultimate stuffy political office, the Oval Office. Megan Adams is a junior in international studies and political science. Really the only real indication she has given to the world that she has taken time since the VP run to do some deep thinking on international issues has been through Facebook. Her foreign policy manifesto titled, "Peace Through Strength and American Pride vs. 'Enemy-Centric' Policy" that she posted on Facebook in NICHOLAS SAMBULAK EARMARKED FOR DESTruction GUEST COLUMN WikiLeaking chips away at security WikiLeaks announced recently that it was under cyber attack. The Distributed Denial-of-Service has been popular in recent months; most notably, government websites in the U.S. and South Korea came under this type of attack in the 2009. U.S. cyber experts learned from that DDoS assault, and they may have put it to their own use yesterday (debating the ethics of such an attack is a worthwhile endeavor for another time). It would certainly not be surprising, as the nation seems uniquely under pressure from Assange and his team. In a blog post yesterday, Blake Hounsell of Foreign Policy asked if WikiLeaks has gone too far. Hounsell admitted to being eager to see the documents but expressed doubt about undermining the ability of diplomats to do their jobs and WikiLeaks' dismissive stance on its role. The group argues that the world should have as many classified documents as possible— Adding information to the public domain on important issues—this is a journalistic duty few would deny. Major publications will certainly be excited to see what WikiLeaks publishes this time. The New York Times has added a whole feature, "The War Logs," to analyze WikiLeaks' postings on the Iraq war. Yet this latest batch of documents concerns U.S. diplomatic affairs around the world, from confidential assessments by ambassadors about foreign leaders to the private communiqués from Washington to individual embassies. This latest broadside from WikiLeaks makes the journalistic position more troubling. That's not really how it's working out. It's now increasingly hard to ignore an anti-American vendetta in Assange's efforts. Documents about U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan may have informed the public in meaningful ways—even if they apparently had nothing new for those living in the region. With the State Department's files, however, there will certainly be revelations, and many seem preliminarily more likely to embarrass and damage U.S. foreign policy than anything else. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been leading efforts to mitigate the upcoming onslaught by reaching out to world leaders before ambassadors' private observations of them come to light. Initiatives such as START—the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia—could be jeopardized. One might argue that Assange has no vendetta against the United States and that he only publishes these U.S.-focused documents because they are what is available to his group. Consider Assange's own words, however: "The material that we are about to release covers essentially every major issue in every country in the world." So, ignoring the Assange arrogance factor, we have confidential U.S. government documents on every major issue in the world. Am I the only person who doesn't believe that no matter what misdeeds the United States would want covered up, those issues also include important ones in which U.S. secrecy is beneficial to the public good? 1 The State Department has taken the position that these documents were obtained illegally and will risk the lives of various individuals. Assange responded by offering to negotiate on individual redactions, a possible compromise with which the U.S.government refused to participate. Even assuming that this offer of partial redactions meets the concern of individuals' immediate safety, it does not address the broader possibility of ambassadors' efforts being undermined in worthwhile efforts. WikiLeaks' founder seems to believe that any secrecy or confidentiality by a government, or at least the U.S. government, is inherently suspect. Yet secrecy is not always sinister. The unfortunate by-product of this release is that, as WikiLeaks publishes by massive salvo, not by individual scoop, the United States will suffer politically in areas we cannot yet predict. Like the rest of the journalistic field, I am usually excited by the prospect of breaking news that holds governments and large corporations accountable for their actions. As an American, however, I cannot help but feel uneasy at WikiLeaks' actions. Whether by circumstance or by design, Assange seems to be harming my country's ability to operate. We can hope that the release of these documents encourages government accountability and contributes to the public discourse. Then Assange's latest efforts will have yielded a positive contribution for the global community. I'm now increasingly suspicious that this will not be the case. From UWIRE. Alexander R. Konrad for Harvard Crimson at Harvard University. RELATIONSHIPS Don't forget about friends and family when dating someone new S Six months ago, I wrote in my last column of the semester about the importance of high standards in relationships. At the time, I was single and settled with the fact that those high standards I set were highly unlikely to be met during my college career. I was "Perfectly Lonely," as John Mayer would say. I actually felt sorry for people I thought were wasting college years in a relationship. Ironically, looking back now, one of my favorite sayings was "We have our entire lives to stay in and cuddle, why waste it now?" In the mean time, I lived the life I wanted. With this independent-woman mentality, I was ready to conquer the world. I worked out hard to best sculpt my body for the single bar scene. I worked harder at school and on my columns. I found that the more I achieved academically, the more confident I became. I spent my down time in the company of my best friends, whose sarcastic attitudes, dry humor and comforting voices always filled all the empty holes of loneliness that any man could. But low and behold, days after I wrote that article, I met someone who changed everything. I warned him shortly after we started talking that I was going to be trouble and it was best for him to not get involved. I told him my heart had built a solid defense because of years of misfortune and his chances of ever getting past those defenses were less likely than the Royals winning the World Series. And, true to my word, I put him through near hell the next few months. I did things I wasn't proud of to test his truthful tongue. I must have said the words "heard that before" more than a million times to him. But the truth is that I didn't know whom I was dealing with. I didn't want to. Before him, I usually fell for assholes, like most girls my age. Men who provided temporary excitement always won my heart faster then the ones who could provide long-term satisfaction. Anyway, a few months later, fall came. The Royals, again, didn't make it to the playoffs. But I started to find this boy's consistency, willingness, and dedication in winning my affection to be quite attractive. Yes, I beat my bad habit of falling for assholes. Three months later, we are still together. But lately I've started to nag at him more than I should. I find myself blaming him for my own shortcomings. I find myself replacing the time I used to fill with my friends, my schoolwork and my writing with time with him. Being the obnoxiously investigative person I am, I refused to let this itch go without scratching it. I researched what the hell was wrong with me. According Texts in the City e BY MANDY MATNEY mmatney@kansas Equally interesting, Brizendine found that the classic symptoms of early love are similar to the initial effects as cocaine, Ecstasy, morphine, heroin and OxyContin. to Louann Brizendine's book "The Female Brain," the female brain during the "falling in love" stage of the relationship that takes place in the first few months becomes illogical to the throes of new romance. According to Brizendene, this brain stage shares brain circuits with states of obsession, mania and intoxication. After reading this, it makes sense now why I haven't felt the need to do the things that used to fulfill me. I haven't written as much as I used to. I haven't felt the need to exercise or go out drinking with my friends like I used to. I guess it is because I found an easier way to trigger those rewards circuits in my brain, as lame as it sounds. But at the end of the day, I've found that we need versatility to keep us happy. I told my boyfriend about my struggles of missing my single self and we agreed in order for our relationship to last long term, we need to demand high expectations of each other. We acknowledged that our time apart from each other is equally as important as our time together. And after writing this especially, from this point forward, I promise to dedicate more time with my friends than I have been I've never been a girl to forget where I came from and who helped shaped me. The truth is that I would have never had the high standards that led me to my boyfriend without the support of my family and best friends. It is time to start acknowledging that more. And most importantly, I need to hold myself accountable for not holding myself up to the same expectations as I did when I was single. The truth is that comfortable love isn't always a good thing. Successful relationships require demanding the best of each other without settling for mediocre comfort. It's crucial that we hold ourselves and our partners to demand the best of each other. Like my mom always has told me, "Your relationship should better each other, not worsen." Matney is a junior from Shawnee in journalism.

James scored 30 points in the Heat's 105-94 victory. James and Wade lead Miami with nearly 60 points MIAMI - LeBron James and Erik Spoelstra had a pregame meeting on Monday to talk about Miami's offensive woes. ASSOCIATED PRESS And for Spoelstra, it was a milestone, his 100th regular-season victory, coming in career game No.182. Andray Blatche scored 26 for Washington, which is 0-8 on the road. Gilbert Arenas added 23 for the Wizards, who lost to the Heat for the eighth time in the teams' past nine meetings. Early returns suggest it was a productive chat. Nick Young scored 13 and JaVale McGee finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for Washington. James scored 30 points, Dwyane Wade added 26 and the Heat beat Washington 105-94 on Monday night, keeping the Wizards winless away from home this season. The Heat topped 100 points for the first time in their past seven games, and led by as many as 22 on the way to just their second win in their past six games. James had 20 of his points in the first half, Wade added 15 in the third quarter, and though it didn't get into a blowout until the fourth quarter — it's the fifth time already this season where the Wizards have lost by double digits — it was comfortable for Miami throughout. The Wizards were without No.1 draft pick John Wall, who missed his second straight game with a bruised right knee, and went largely with a seven-man rotation for much of the night. Washington was also again without Al Thornton (ankle) and Yi He did it in a hurry, too. Miami's lead was only 55-49 with 10:31 left in the third quarter, before Wade — who has been slumped — got his scoring touch back. Wade scored 15 points in the quarter, matching a Heat season best for any quarter this season and needed only 6:17 to get that done. Consecutive jumpers 27 seconds apart, both set up by james, got him started, and he went on the attack the rest of the quarter — getting all 11 of his remaining points either at the foul line or on driving layups. His personal spurt ended with 3:17 left in the period, when Wade split defenders on a spin move, got fouled, made a layup from the left side and hit the free throw for a 76-63 lead. Jianlian (knee). From there, things got chippy. Washington's Hilton Armstrong and Miami's Juwan Howard were ejected with 32.3 seconds left in the third. Armstrong flagrantly fouled Heat center Joel Anthony on a layup attempt, pushing him with both hands in what was deemed a flagrant-2 infraction. Howard's night ended after referee Bill Kennedy saw he had pushed Armstrong in the back while coming to Anthony's defense. The Wizards' Kirk Hinrich and Miami's James Jones were called for double technics after getting in each other's faces with 8:20 left to play, and Washington's Trevor Booker was called for a flagrant-1 about 5 minutes later. James made 6 of his 9 shots in the first half, then started 2 for 7 following the break before hitting a 3-pointer with 2:32 remaining for a 103-83 lead.

Pullen scored 20 points in the Wildcats 85-61 victory, and also set the school record for career 3-pointers in the game. Pullen beats school 3-pointer record MANHATTAN — Jacob Pullen broke the school record for career 3-pointers, leading No. 5 Kansas State to an easy 85-61 victory over Division II Emporia State on Monday night and giving the Wildcats their first six- win month of November. The senior guard scored 20 points, including hitting four 3s, as the Wildcats jumped out to a 46-27 halftime lead. The Wildcats (6-1) cruised the rest of the way. The Hornets (3-3) threw an early scare into the preseason Big 12 favorites when Xavier Burnette banked home a 3-pointer and followed that with a bucket that slice the lead to 12-11. But Freddy Asprilla, the bulky 6-foot-10 transfer, scored four straight points, including a putback of a Jamar Samuels miss, and got the Wildcats going on a 27-9 run climaxed by Pullen's record-breaking 3-pointer, giving Kansas State a 39-20 lead over the visitors. Pullen tied Steve Henson's record of 240 3-pointers 29 seconds earlier, then got the record with one from the baseline. The crowd gave Pullen a standing ovation at the next timeout a few moments later. Henson played for the Wildcats in the 1980s. Asprilla finished with 17 points and eight rebounds for Kansas State. Rodney McGruder also had 17 points. Emporia State, which lost to No.4 Kansas 90-59 in an exhibition game this season, was led by Burnette's 18 points. Jordan Stout had 15 and Adam Holthaus 10. Stout hit a free throw and a long 3-pointer for Emporia starting off the second half. But Asprilla got a quick basket and Rodney McGruser had a putback and the Wildcats went off on a 16-0 run to seal the win. Associated Press COLLEGE BASKETBALL UMKC suffers first loss against WSU WICHITA — David Kyles scored 12 points and Wichita State overcame a slow start to beat UMKC 71-52 Monday night. Garrett Stutz added 11 points for the Shockers (4-1), who rallied from an early deficit by holding the Kangaroos without a field goal for more than 13 minutes. Reggie Chamberlain, a transfer from Wichita State, led UMKC (4-1) with 20 points. Chamberlain helped the Kangaroos build an early lead. Through nine minutes, he had as many points (12) as Wichita State, and UMKC led 23-17 after 2 minutes. But the Shockers scored the final 20 points of the first half, fueled by six from Stutz and five from Kyles. Wichita State appeared headed toward a blowout early in the second half. The Shockers scored eight of the first nine points after halftime and led 45-24. Four straight points from Gabe Blair capped the 28-1 run which stretched back to midway through the first half UMKC missed 15 straight shots during the span while the Shockers went 12 of 16 from the floor. Toure Murry helped the Shockers close out the victory. But Chamberlain — who played at Wichita State during the 2008-09 season — willed UMKC back in it, driving for two layups that started a 10-0 run. Chamberlain then hit 3-pointer with 9:02 remaining to slice Wichita State's lead to 50-41, but the Kangaroos wouldn't get any closer scoring five of his nine points in the final five minutes. and converted a four-point play while matching Wichita State's 12 points through nine minutes.

"Thank God. He blessed us tonight, because that was an amazing win by our team," senior Adam Stant said. The tournament, which took place at Ambler Student Recreation Center, came down to a matchup between Boomslang and The Face Recers. Both teams had a tough road team full of experienced players. In their semi-final match, they were only able to field four players to the opponents six but still came away with the victory. "Were pretty experienced, that's why it hurts so much right now," said junior Steve Griffith. "We're pretty experienced, so that's why it hurts so much right now." "Looking for your double Stant did not attribute Boomslang's victory to speed, strength, or accuracy, but to strategy. Even though the Face Recens were shut out in the title game, they were no slouch. They had a to make it into the title bout, but only one could come out on top. Boomslang ran away with the victory, pitching a shutout against the all-but-helpless Face Recers. It was a best-offive match, but Boomslang only needed three games as it continuously pounded its opponent. STEVE GRIFFITH The Face Recers member your double teams, who to have throwing, who your throwing at," Stoudt said when describ ing a typical dodgeball strategy. "Know your role on the team, who can throw, who can dodge, who can catch." It is rare for most casual dodge-ballers to think of strategy as the key to the game, but Boomslang proved otherwise. "It's about as tactical a sport as you can get," said senior Philip Fukuto of Boomslang. "Most people think it's just throwing and catching, but a lot of it is field positioning and stuff like that. It's very tactical." As intense as the players seemed about the game, it was clear they were also having a blast. "It's just a great time to have fun out here on campus," Stoudt said. Players and teams often remain intact year after year. They use it as a way to forget about their studies and to relax for a while. "That's what dodgeball is about — having fun," Ryan Pfeifer of The Face Recellers said. Pfeifer and Griffith both clearly enjoyed their time on and off the court. Each player had their own favorite unique "shot". "Face shots are like unicorns—you don't see them very often, but when you do you, have to embrace it." Griffith said. Both teams left the rec center with smiles on their faces, and The Face Recers returned to their homes with championship T-shirts and a sense of pride. The Face Recers will get their shot at redemption, as they plan to play for the title again next year. "We'll be back next year," Griffith said, "and even stronger."

Kansas Athletics COLLEGE FOOTBALL TCU to move to Big East MCCLATCHY-TRIRLINE FORT WORTH, Texas — Texas Christian University has accepted an invitation to join the Big East Conference, league and school officials announced here Monday. TCU began competing in the Mountain West Conference in 2005 and will remain in the league next season before it joins the Big East on July 1, 2012. All 20 of TCU's sports teams will participate in the Big East, and the long-rumored move should benefit the school's football team, which will be joining a league that annually sends its champion to a Bowl championship Series bowl game. The Horned Frogs, ranked third in the current BCS standings, recently completed a 12-0 regular season and are assured an at-large BCS bowl berth this season. If Oregon and Auburn, the top teams in the standings, both win on Saturday, TCU would play in the Rose Bowl. If one or both lose, TCU would probably advance to the BCS title game at Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 10. However, the road to such opportunities is more difficult as a member of the Mountain West, which does not have automatic qualifier status in the BCS. "it's a long-term move that helps TCU down the road," football coach Gary Patterson said. Athletic Director Chris Del Conte said the recent departures of Brigham Young University and Utah from the Mountain West were factors in TCU's move. "It is not the same league that we joined," he said. BYU will play football as an independent and join the West Coast Conference in other sports. Utah will be joining the new Pacific 12 Conference next fall. Gambling Yankees risk Jeter MORNING BREW The Derek Jeter saga, fit for the stage of New York City, keeps getting better and better. There's not a single more polarizing team in the MLB (and arguably all of sports) than the Yankees; barring a lack of interest, anyone you ask will have a strong opinion either way about the 27-time World Series champions. Professionalism prevents me from saying much more than the Yankees are NOT my favorite team. Having said that, the contract negotiations between the organization and Jeter, who is the modern face of the Yankees, have been nothing short of perplexing. I just can't understand how a team as notorious for spending money as the Yankees won't spend it on their best player for the last 14 years. Jeter has to be regarded separately from other Yankees today, minus Mariano Rivera, because of their tenure. New York is one of the most difficult stages to perform on, and a lot of great players haven't been able to live up to the city's standards. And since 1996, Jeter has done nothing but shine. M. A. C. He's played at least 148 games in all but one (2003) season since his official rookie season in 1996. This past year, he hit a career-worst .270 — 21 points BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com lower than his previous worst and still the same average as his teammate, Alex Rodriguez. He's won five Gold Glove awards, been voted to 11 All-Star teams and was the World Series MVP in 2000. Jeter's been the Yankees shortstop for seven titles. And yet the Yankees won't pony up to his contract requests, with the latest Yankee offer including a suggestion to Jeter and his agent to take a "reality potion" concerning the negotiations. Jeter is reportedly seeking more years and more money per year than the offer on the table, a three-year, $45 million contract to follow up the 10-year, $189 million contract that expired after the 2010 season ended. Given my feelings toward the Yankees, I THE MORNING BREW wouldn't mind seeing Jeter explore free agency and find a team willing to meet his demands (Detroit would make sense, and how great would it be to see number 2 in Boston next year?). Regardless of the team he plays for, Jeter demands respect for what he's done on the field. But, if the Yankees continue to withhold respect from Jeter, they seem content with letting go of possibly the most iconic major leaguer of my lifetime. Edited by Emily McCoy WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL UConn holds record position at No.1 Connecticut is back as the unanimous No.1. The Huskies, who have won an NCAA women's basketball record 84 straight games, received all 40 first-place votes in The Associated Press Top 25 poll Monday. It was the 47th straight week they sit atop the poll. Connecticut had been an unanimous choice in the poll for 35 straight weeks starting in the second week of 2009 and ending in the final poll of last season. The Huskies (6-0), who received 39 votes the first three polls of this season, routed their three opponents this week at their own tournament by an average of 44 points. Baylor and Stanford remained second and third while Xavier and Duke each moved up a spot with Tennessee's loss. The Lady Vols fell five spots to ninth after losing to Georgetown in the championship game of the Paradise Jam on Saturday. Ohio State, Texas A&M, and Kentucky each moved up a place in front of Tennessee. West Virginia remained 10th after winning its bracket of the Paradise Jam with victories over Virginia, Iowa State and TCU. Notre Dame moved up two places to 16th. The Irish were followed by Texas, Iowa, Iowa State and St. John's. The Red Storm, who face St. Bonaventure on Monday night, climbed two spots in the poll. Oklahoma was No. 11 and Georgetown stayed 12th despite its win over the Lady Vols. The Hoyas had lost to unranked Missouri on Friday at the tournament. UCLA, North Carolina and Florida State remained behind Georgetown. Georgia, Maryland, Vanderbilt, Nebraska, and Michigan State round out the poll. The Lady Bulldogs dropped four places after losing to Southern Cal.

The Blue Devils (6-0) received all 65 first-place votes from the national media panel Monday, and the Huskies (5-0) made the second-most impressive jump into the rankings in the last 21 years, moving in at No. 7. Duke was No. 1 on all but seven ballots last week but Michigan State, which got six No. 1 votes, and Kansas State, which had the other, both lost — the latter to the Blue Devils as they won the CBE Classic. The wins over Marquette, Kansas State and Oregon made the Blue Devils the first unanimous No.1 since Kentucky did it for one week last season. Connecticut beat then-No. 2 Michigan State and then-No. 8 Kentucky on the way to winning the Maui Invitational. Since the poll expanded to 25 teams in 1989, the only more impressive entrance was Kansas' jump to No.4 after beating No.2 LSU, No.1 UNLV and No.2 St. John's on the way to winning the 1989 Preseason NIT. "It's tough to imagine something like that even though everybody says they don't pay attention to the polls," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said before Monday's practice. "It's nice to be there at this point of the season but I always tell my teams' Don't let yesterday take up too much of today." Taking a team with five freshmen in its rotation to play in a tournament such as the Maui Invitational is a dicey proposition because you could come out with one win or maybe with an 0-3 record. "I was very worried," Calhoun said. "In life you have to be bold enough to try. We did and we succeeded. I would have been happy with terrific effort to show we were equal to the task. We could have lost the first two games we played, then we were great against Kentucky. The only way to grow is to face teams early like we'll see throughout the season." The Huskies were ranked for the first 10 weeks last season as well as in one other poll. They dropped out for good on Feb. 1 and didn't make the NCAA tournament. "The No. 1 thing for this team now is that tomorrow is one of the biggest games of the season," Calhoun said of the home game against New Hampshire. "We have to validate what people think of us, it's quite that simple. I will remind them we were down three at the half to Vermont before we went to Maui. We have to keep getting better and we all have to be tuned in to that." UNLV (6-0), which won the 76 Classic, and Notre Dame (7-0), which won the Old Spice Classic, were this week's newcomers to the poll at No.24 and 25.

David Villa scored twice for the Catalans, who are now two points above second-placed Real. Barca's other goals were put away by Xavi, Pedro and supersub jafren. Real had Spain defender Sergio Ramos sent off at the end. It was the biggest thrashing suffered by Real in Barcelona since 1994 and is their first defeat under new coach Jose Mourinho. Barca have beaten the whites in all five Clasicos since Pep Guardiola was appointed coach in 2008. Guardiola maintained his habitual humility, saying that "it was not an easy match," that he had "not expected" such a clear result — and that "Real Madrid are an impressive team." tell just how good this team (Barcelona) really is. Tonight we played very well indeed." He added that "only time will Two-goal hero Villa said: "this is very important triumph. We wanted to get above them (in the table) and we have achieved that. "We were the better team," Villa added, "and we enjoyed playing to our style. Madrid looked uncomfortable because "Last week we had one point more than them and now we have two points less. I have always said that Barca is the finished product "Only time will tell just how good this team really is. Tonight we played very well indeed." One cannot ask for more than this. their maximum level and the other team played badly. This is a defeat, but not a humiliation. The Spain striker finished by saying: "We are now two points above them. We have to continue working, we are only in November. We have an advantage, but we have to carry on winning." PEP GUARDIOLA Coach we overran them in midfield." Real coach Mourinho, for his part, said: "One team played at Mourinho finished, saying: "We have to show character now. When you win titles you can cry for joy but when you concede five (goals) you have to." and that we sh, have a long way to go." with the desire to train, play again and win." Mourinho's tactic of playing with an advanced defense dramatically backfired on him, as time and again Xavi and Andres Imiesta played through-balls for Villa, Pedro and Lionel Messi to run onto. Indeed, the result would have been even more embarrassing for the Portuguese coach had it not been for Messi uncharacteristically wasting several clear chances. Real midfielder Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, said: "They were better than us in everything. We cannot be pleased with this performance and result. But there are many matches left and nothing has finished." Barca dominated from start to finish, enjoying almost 70 percent possession. After just six minutes, Messi hit iker Casillas' far post with a clever curling shot. The capacity crowd did not have to wait long for the first goal. In the 10th minute Inesta exquisitely played Xavi through. The veteran playmaker scuffed his first shot but then calmly chipped Casillas to make it 1-0. Casillas, allowing Pedro to make it 2-0 from close range. Eight minutes later, with the Camp Nou on fire, Villa took a pass from Xavi down the left and skipped past Sergio Ramos. His centering pass was fumbled by Barca started the second half as they had started the first — with speed, precision and penetration. Villa scored two similar goals It was men against boys from then on, with Mourinho's young team looking hopelessly out of its depth. The white cause was not helped by Gonzalo Higuain's missing out due to a back injury. This left Cristiano Ronaldo alone in attack and the Portuguese striker looked nervous and overawed by the occasion. For once, Messi was the provider instead of the finisher. within the space of three minutes by finishing calmly after after being played through by Messi on both occasions. The elegant hosts then eased up, as if not wanted to humiliate Real. But in injury time Jeffron made it 5-0 by turning in a center from fellow substitute Bojan. The fifth goal caused Ramos to lose his discipline and he was sent off for an awful, needless foul on Messi. EARN UP TO $300 THIS MONTH! CASH IN YOUR POCKET. DONATE PLASMA.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30,2010 KANSAS 15 WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 10A MOVE IT OR LOSE IT Self critical of static offensive movement Despite the Jayhawks national lead in assists, Self points out the weaker offensive aspects BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball After a 57-point whooping of Ohio, coach Bill Self complained Friday that the ball was "sticking" in his offense. The Jayhawks weren't making the right passes, weren't getting good open looks Never mind that the Jayhawks scored 98 points. Never mind that they had 20 assists. So Self admitted Monday afternoon that while the ball may have been sticking Friday night, it certainly wasn't any sign of the apocalypse for No.4 Kansas. After all, Kansas leads the nation with 22 assists per game and a 1.94 assist-to-turnover ratio. "I can complain about certain things," Self said, "but there are a lot of coaches out there that would love to complain about the ball sticking when you have 20 JONATHAN ROBINSON Morris assists every game." Self also said the problem was rectified as soon as the day after, when the Jayhawks needed all 40 minutes to beat Arizona 87-79. "The ball moved against Arizona," Self said. "The first eight minutes against Arizona, that's about as well as a team can play offensively. I mean, it was fabulous. The ball moved, there was different guys, there was balance." That balance is largely a product of two things; the first being the Jayhawks' ability to move the ball. "That's one of the biggest things Coach talks to us about," said junior guard Tyshawn Taylor, who leads the Jayhawks with 43 assists (7.2 per game), good for fifth in the nation. "He says he loves sitting down and watching us when the ball is moving and we're getting the good shots that we've been getting." Junior forward Marcus Morris, who is averaging 1.5 assists per game from the power forward spot, said it has always been a point of emphasis for Self. "He wants the ball moving at all times; he doesn't like when it sticks in just one-on-one," Morris said. "He doesn't like that. He definitely preaches that a lot to get the open shot, get the best shot. We lead the nation in assists? I didn't know that." KANAS 10 23 15 Of course, it's easy to get assists if the team is leading the country in field goal percentage, which the Jayhawks are. Kansas' 57.8 shooting percentage is 2.4 percentage points better than second place Central Florida. Whatever the method, Kansas will need to keep getting assists and keep the ball moving over the next six games, which, including the Arizona game, make up the toughest stretch of the Jayhawks season. "As far as us leading the country in assists," Taylor said, "we've just been making a lot of shots right now. We're shooting a high percentage. It'll come down to one pass and somebody will hit a three and that'll count as an assist for somebody." — Edited by Leslie Kinsman Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor makes a no-look pass to a teammate during the second half of Kansas' game against Ohio Friday night at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. Taylor led the Jayhawks with six assists in Kansas' 98-41 victory. FOOTBALL Gill to search for recruits, improve 2011 team 99 BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Turner Gill was clear about his goals when hired as head football at the university of Kansas. "Recruit, beat Missouri, recruit, win the north, recruit, win the Big 12 ... and then we are going to recruit." Well, he can still accomplish four of those heading into his first offseason in Lawrence. Freshman running back James Sims is taken down by a Missouri player Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Jayhawks lost the game 35-7 in their final game falling to 1-7 in Big 12 play. It will need to be, as the first-year coach struggled to a 3-9 record. it's a continuing deal," Gill said following the 35-7 loss to Missouri last Saturday. "I'll be evaluating our football team and also recruiting, so recruiting is always going all the time." The Missouri postgame press conference often mirrored his opening remarks last winter, with a strong emphasis on recruiting and continued building of the Kansas football program, a program that has fallen fast since the Orange Bowl victory in 2008. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Speed and athleticism. That's what the coaches want, and for the most part, that's what the coaches didn't have all season. Gill repeated his desire for the two traits more than a few times after the Border Showdown. Former coach Mark Mangino's tended to focus more on recruiting wide receivers and defensive backs. But holes in his recruiting were apparent in 2010. Kansas struggled to pressure the quarterback with its defensive line, and the inexperienced and thin offensive line kept the array of Jayhawk quarterbacks moving out of the pocket seemingly all game. With a quarterback already committed and the staff still looking at a junior college quarterback for next year, it's possible the quarterback trio of Jordan Webb, Well, maybe not quite. Rumors have surfaced that quarterback turned receiver Kale Pick could possibly transfer in the spring, but neither Pick nor coaches have commented much on the topic. Quinn Mecham and Kale Pick will have a few challengers for the starting job next September. Well, maybe not quite "I'm not sure," Pick noted of the quarterback battle moving forward. "That's something that we have to get figured out, see what the coaches think and who they want to go with." Pick, who played sparingly after being benched in week one, said he wasn't sure if he would petition to return to quarterback role. Whatever happens with Pick, it's obvious the coaching staff wants a playmaker at quarterback, and they weren't pleased with the performances by Kansas quarterbacks this season. "I would say at best, maybe OK," Gill noted of the quarterback play this year. "We've got to have a person at that position be consistent in making those plays. We'll get that corrected as time goes on." Corrected in the form of a newcomer taking the reins in 2011? Who knows at this point. What is known, is that Gill's emphasis on recruiting has only gotten stronger after a year of bad performances and lopsided defeats. "We've already got a good start and we'll have our talent in here and we'll be competing. We're in the hunt for a lot of people." COMMENTARY Edited by Anna Nordling Bruins shouldn't be feared BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com For most opposing colleges, it would be intimidating. Walk into UCLA's Pauley Pavilion and you are overcome by banners in every direction: Four undefaced seasons. Eighty-eight consecutive regular season victories. Twenty-six Final Four victories. Seven consecutive national titles, 11 in all. That's more than double of what Kansas has and more than any other NCAA college basketball program in history. But today, Kansas has the upper hand on Thursday's opponent, even in more than just its basketball team. Since UCLA beat Kansas in the 2007 Elite Eight, I haven't been impressed. The Jayhawks went to Los Angeles to play the Bruins last year and the didn't exactly live up to either team's standards. Kansas won 73-61 in a sloppy game and nothing too flashy stood out. There were 29 combined turnovers in the game, but it was hard fought and muddy. UCLA was one of the top five programs in the history of college hoops, and it was my first time in L.A., but Pauley Pavilion and its attendance needed help. A third of the fans were in support of the No.1 team at the time, enough to spread the Rock Chalk chant across the pavilion. The third most winningest team in college history (Kansas) versus the eighth team on that list (UCLA) and many of the seats were still empty. The pavilion's capacity is about 3,000 less than Allen Fieldhouse. Even former Jayhawk Xavier Henry noticed something about it last year. "It wasn't as filled as 1 thought it would be at UCLA," he said, "but it was all right." OK, Pauley Pavilion is getting renovated with a $136 million project, set to finish in 2012. It should be pretty nice given the dollars and the history. But it was such a downer to have to see the lowly state it was in last year. Overall, L.A. is a difference place than Lawrence — it thrives on lights and luxury. For a while, the basketball team was part of this culture. But celebrities decorate the streets and the professional teams loom large over the college ranks. What the Lakers have done in recent years overshadows the Bruins. They seem to always be in the running for a championship. Not that it takes away from what UCLA did, but fans like to live in the "now." The Bruins have lost two straight after starting 3-0. If the Jayhawks continue their torrid play at home on Thursday, UCLA is going to be .500. But it should bask in this light. At least when the Bruins play here they will have 16,300 fans who enjoy college basketball watching them. Maybe at one time, UCLA was the place to play. But right now, that place is in Allen Fieldhouse. No disrespect to the opponents the Bruins have played,but playing in Lawrence will be a fresh experience for the team.Maybe playing in a venue like this will extract some of the greatness this program once had. — Edited by Roshni Oommen ---
