"The new schedule allows student to get to participate in more events and be welcomed by the University for a longer period of time," said the New Student Orientation Director, Megan Baker. For the first time, Hawk Week is pairing up with social network-ing website Foursquare to create the Rock Chalk Check in Challenge. Foursquare, which was launched in 2009 and has more than 10 million users according to its website, allows users to "check in" on smart phones, post or receive suggestions about nearby venues and share their location with their friends while collecting points and virtual badges. Large and small businesses alike use Foursquare to reward frequent users with Hawk Week 2011 will be longer than the previous years. Before, Hawk Week began the Sunday evening that students moved into the residence hall, and students started class the following Thursday. Now, with the academic year beginning on Monday, Hawk Week will run into the following weekend. make to reward frequent users with special discounts and other prizes. The reorganization of this year's Hawk Week incorporates social media and an extended week-long schedule to reach out to students in new ways. The Rock Chalk Check-in Challenge follows the same premise. By checking in to various locations throughout campus on their mobile devices, students become eligible for free drinks, KU apparel, flash drives, ticket discounts and a drawing with a grand prize of an iPad. To check in to a location, students can use Twitter to tweet with a hashtag of "#ku-sqs". With every check-in, students work toward earning a campus badge. Participants who collect all five campus badges are then eligible to enter the iPad drawing. Winners must be able to present proof of check-in along with a valid student ID. "This is great, because right away students get an opportunity to see where they will have their classes and the layout of their buildings," Baker said. "But also to let them know it's not so scary and intimidating, and that they can use those spaces whenever they want." Another new event for Hawk Week is Academic Day, which will be on Sunday. Departments and schools will open doors for new students to connect with the faculty of their specific schools.

This year, the info fair has been renamed Hawk Flock on the Fieldhouse Lawn. Its new location is in front of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, which is attached to Allen Fieldhouse.

Overall, Baker said she wants students of any age or year to come away feeling more comfortable and knowledgeable about the wide range of opportunities offered at the University. "First off, it's never too late to join or get involved," Baker said. "But also, it's possible the thing you're most interested in wasn't a club or organization when you started your freshman year.

DECORAH, IOWA A Secret Service agent on assignment in Iowa to help with presidential security has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. City Police Chief Bill Nixon said 40-year-old Daniel L. Valencia was off duty when he was arrested Saturday in Decorah. President Barack Obama visited the northeast Iowa city on Monday as part of his three-day Midwestern bus trip. Nixon said no vehicles were involved in an accident. He declined further comment Wednesday. Secret Service spokesman George Ogilve confirmed that Valencia is an agent and that the matter had been turned over to the agency's Office of Professional Responsibility. PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI The Haiti reconstruction panel co-chaired by former President Bill Clinton is announcing a major new project to rebuild part of the capital damaged in last year's earthquake. The Interim Haiti Recovery Commission plans to spend $78 million to revitalize 16 neighborhoods and remove people from six major settlement camps that formed after the earthquake. The commission announced the effort Wednesday in a statement released just ahead of a Clinton speech. The International Organization for Migration estimates that about 630,000 Haitians are still without homes. NAIROBI, KENYA A British government minister said up to 400,000 Somali children could die of starvation unless urgent action is taken. International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell on Wednesday made the first visit in 18 years by a British minister to Somalia's capital of Mogadishu, where he met with government leaders and aid groups. Mitchell said in neighboring Kenya that Britain will give UNICEF more than $41 million in additional aid. That will allow nearly 200,000 people to have two months of supplementary food rations and vaccinations against measles for 800,000 children. LONDON London police forces said 1,000 people have been charged in the unrest that rocked the capital for four days, as human rights groups reiterated concerns that the sentences being handed out nationwide are disproportionate. Acting chief Tim Godwin issued a statement Wednesday that said while the milestone is significant, the investigation is ongoing. He urged the public to turn in anyone involved in the disorder. U.K. police have arrested more than 3,000 people over riots that erupted Aug. 6 in north London and flared for four nights across the capital and other English cities. BEIRUT Syrian troops detained scores of people in Damascus and the coastal city of Latakia in overnight raids as President Hassar Basha's regime tried to forcefully end a five-month uprising, activists said Wednesday. The crackdown has intensified since the start of the holy month of Ramadan, killing hundreds and detaining thousands. Despite broad international condemnation the regime has unleashed tanks, ground troops and snipers in an attempt to retake control in rebellious areas. The government insists its crack-down is aimed at rooting out terrorists. COMMUNITY Local SRS office will stay open after closure scare BPS SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com Tanya Rezayazii spent her senior year interning for the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services in Lawrence. She shadowed social workers during intakes and helped enroll clients into SRS services. The Lawrence SRS office was in danger of being shut down before the community helped to keep it open. City commissioners voted to help pay to let the office keep its doors open. In July, SRS announced their plans to close nine offices, including the Lawrence location, which is the state's fifth largest office. TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN "It was shocking," said Re$ayazdi. "We were the go-between for these clients. We would get them transportation for their services. Now they are on their own." "It was a tough decision, really," Mayor Aron Cromwell said. "We had to make a quick decision to go ahead and do it. Although it wasn't an ideal decision, we had to do it anyway." However, according to an SRS news release from Aug. 9, Lawrence City commissioners voted to pay $112,500 to SRS in 2012 and 2013 to keep the local office open. These amounts will be matched by Douglas County. According to the SRS press release, the Lawrence office will remain open and in full service on a long-term basis. Angela de Rocha, SRS director of communications, said the department administers a number of programs for the federal government such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. De Rocha said the Kansas offices take in clients and match them with services for which they are eligible. The department released a document outlining their reorganization and continuation plan. The document listed five reasons for the Lawrence office closing, among them were significant savings and nearby "It it was just a bad idea to close it in the first place," Rezayadi said. "I see it as the community coming together. If we're going to have to pay for it, we're going to have to access to other local offices. Rezayazdi said transportation issues and access to internet would have made it extremely difficult for some clients to receive aid if the Lawrence office shut down. pay for it." "A ton of people from the city stepped up and came up with options to help keep it open," Cromwell said. Cromwell said concerned citizens pressured the state into keeping the Lawrence office open.

Transit Administrator Robert Nugent said that he expects a 40-50 percent drop in fuel usage as well as cleaner emissions. IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The city's new hybrid buses represent a lot of "green" in at least three different senses. The buses stand out with an emerald paint job, carry a $565,000 price tag and feature environmentally friend!'s technology. Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU Parking and Transit, said they would first appear on campus Monday. "You can't miss them," he said. "I haven't had a chance to ride one yet, but I think they're going to be great." The city bought three of the hybrid buses, which are the first of their kind to operate in the state of Kansas. They will service Route 11, which is jointly operated by the city and the University between campus, 31st and Iowa Streets and downtown Lawrence. Like other hybrid vehicles, the buses use a small diesel engine to support batteries that power the bus. Robert Nugent, Lawrence Transit administrator, said the hybrids would be at least 50 percent more fuel efficient than their predecessors, which were near the end of their life expectancy. Trade journals estimate fuel economies for hybrids at up to 60 percent better than some regular buses. Estimates of reductions in carbon dioxide emissions for the hybrids range from 20 to 50 percent, and as high as 90 percent for gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. "They're also much quieter," Nugent said. The buses are 40 feet long, with their batteries stored in a hump on the roof. Their floors are built low to the ground for easy access and have ramps for wheelchair access. A self-braking mechanism in the bus' transmission is designed to reduce wear and tear on the brakes, requiring fewer repairs. The hybrids cost about $200,000 more than the buses they are replacing. Nugent said the city was able to buy them with the help of $1.8 million in federal stimulus funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Nugent said the hybrids have already been out on the street, as the city has been training drivers in them. "The drivers love them," Nugent said. "These things are a work of art, as far as the driver's are concerned."

The Budget Control Act of 2011, which would allow the debt ceiling to be raised up to $2.4 trillion in two stages, requires all graduate and professional students receiving federal loans to pay interest. However, this change won't go into effect until July 1, 2012. Subsidized interest on Stafford Loans will be eliminated. Unsubsidized loans are still available, but students should be aware that interest will start to accumulate while they are busy hitting the books. Under the previous system, interest did not accrue as long as the borrower was at least a half-time student. It also offered a six month grace period immediately following graduation. "About 35 percent of Lawrence/ Edwards graduate and professional students receive need-based loans each year, with an average annual loan amount of about $7,700," KU spokeswoman Jill less said. forces. The changes do not affect existing loans. Additionally, students will no longer be rewarded for making payments on time. With this new bill in place, there will no longer be a grace period and students are expected to begin paying the interest that has gathered on their loans promptly after being handed their diploma unless a student returns to school or enters the armed Brandon Gillette, vice president of the Graduate Association of Students in Philosophy, has concerns about the new financial stress students will face. "The graduate students who do not have another source of funding will either have to choose between unsubsidized or private loans, both of which have higher interest rates and thus higher cost," Gillette said. The Congressional Budget Office states that by removing the subsidized loan program for graduate and professional students and eliminating certain loan repayment incentives, direct spending will be reduced by about $21.6 billion from 2012 to 2021. From this amount gathered, $17 billion will be put toward the funding of the Pell Grant program, which should prove to be good news for an estimated 4,175 Lawrence and Edwards students and 106 Medical Center undergraduates who receive federal Pell Grants each year. "This act should not have a direct impact on the amount of financial aid awarded to students," Jess said. "Students may minimize federal student loan interest by borrowing responsibly — borrowing only what is needed for educational expenses.

State officials are debating a proposal to establish the nation's only statehouse bar — a venue where lawmakers and even members of the public could tip a few back after hours if they reserve the space. Opponents say it would be inappropriate to open a bar in a government building frequented by schoolchildren, while others note that alcohol already flows freely at Statehouse events. "My point of view is Prohibition ended in the 1930s, so what's the big deal?" said Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican. "We're not talking about putting George Jones and Willie Nelson on the jukebox and having people spending all their waking hours in the Capitol Cafe, drowning their sorrows. But the idea that there's alcohol in the Statehouse should be completely unsurprising to anyone." Republican Rep. Rex Dammschroder, an advocate of tough anti-drinking laws, said the Statehouse is a place where adults and children go to learn history and see government in action — not lawmakers bellying up to the bar. "At this point, I am aware of no valid reason for a bar to be located in the center of Ohio's government operations," he wrote in a recent letter to a Statehouse operations committee. "There are plenty of bars in downtown Columbus, and the Statehouse is the last place that should be added to the list." The caterer who conceived the idea for installing the granite counter that would serve beer, wine and liquor for reserved events like wedding rehearsal dinners says he was simply trying to attract new customers to an underused basement cafeteria. The Capitol Cafe opened this month, without alcohol. It doesn't include taps or other permanent bar-like fixtures; the spirits must be carried in. The panel that oversees Statehouse operations has slowed the project's pace, assigning it to a study committee that will sort out what the business should offer. The venue was never intended to be a traditional bar, Louie Pappas says—and he acknowledges that a PR blitz last month, touting a full-service bar for after-hours "private happy hours" with specialty bistro menus and flat-screen televisions, went onboard.

His relatives are in the middle of a custody battle regarding his younger sister Jayla Paris. IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Relatives of 7-year-old Jayla Paris, sister of Kansas junior forward Thomas Robinson, contested custody of the girl Wednesday in a Prince George's County, Md., circuit court. jayla's mother, Lisa Robinson, died of a sudden heart attack at age 43 on Jan. 21, and her own parents had passed on only a short time before. Following the loss, Thomas gained permission from the NCAA to set up the Lisa Robinson Foundation, a trust fund in his sister's name, to collect donations that could provide for her future. But her present situation remains uncertain, as an aunt and uncle have filed a complaint questioning her father's fitness as a parent. Jayla is currently living with her father, James Paris, in Washington, D.C. She attends second grade in Maryland, where she had lived with her mother for about a year prior to Lisa's death. On March 2, Lisa's brother, Willantain Austin Jr., and his wife, Carrie, filed a complaint for custody with Prince George's county court, alleging that Paris was not fit to care for layla. The complain, obtained by the The Kansan, points out that Paris was released from prison in December 2010 after serving a five-year sentence for felony distribution of marijuana. He had been convicted of similar charges four times between 1999 and 2004, in addition to felony escape from an institution in 2001. The complaint asserted that the Austins have a close relationship with Jayla, have been married for 33 years and have raised several children: two of their own, two sons of Willittan deceased cousin, and other nieces and nephews. While one section of the complaint alleges that Paris is unemployed and "appears to be homeless or vagrant," filings from both parties in the custody suit indicate that he and Jaya reside at his sister's home on a temporary basis. Paris, through his attorney, Edward Varrone, filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May 2. disputing the suggestion that he was an unfit parent and arguing that the Maryland court lacked standing to challenge his custody of Jayla. In the motion, Paris informed the court that he had no connection to Maryland and that Jayla had lived in Washington, D.C., for most of her life. While acknowledging that he had been incarcerated, Paris said that Lisa and Jayla had visited him monthly and that he maintained "an active interest in Jayla's well-being." Paris provided documentation to show that he formally registered Jayla with the same Prince George County public school she had previously attended, even though he still resides in Washington, D.C., and authorized his family members to pick her up from after-school care. He also supplied Jayla's report card to show that she had received grades of "A" or "B" in all subjects and documentation that Jayla was receiving health care, dental care and grief counseling. In a May 20 response to Paris' motion, the Austins filed their opposition with the court and alleged that Paris was not permitting other relatives to speak with or visit Jayla, with the exception of Thomas. They also allege that Paris entered Lisa's apartment, removed property, and had been seen driving her car, which had been reported stolen. The Kansas City law firm SNR Denton, which monitors the Lisa Robinson Foundation, is also representing the Austins in Maryland. Mark Johnson, a partner in the firm and a University of Kansas lecturer, said there had never been plans to bring Jayla to Lawrence, and any rumors to that effect had no basis in fact. The result of Wednesday's custody hearing was not known as of press time. BATTERY CHARGE AGAINST ROBINSON DROPED 10, at a Lawrence nightclub.

According to court documents, the Lawrence pizzeria filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June after a food vendor pursued a lawsuit against the pizzeria for unpaid bills. Sf The restaurant remained open throughout the summer, with the owner, Greg Keenan, classified by the court as a debtor in possession. BR The bankruptcy filing was voluntarily dismissed on Aug. 2. Keenan said Tuesday that he reached an agreement with his creditors and withdrew his case from the court. The restaurant's court filings estimated debts of less than $50,000. "We were able to work everything out," Keenan said. "It's all been taken care of." A list of creditors included beverage and supply vendors, the Kansas Department of Revenue and the Kansas Department of Labor. As reported by The Kansan, some former employees have filed complaints with the KDOL against Keenan, claiming unpaid wages, beginning in 2008.

PAGE 10A THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SAFETY Students contribute designs for new cop cars KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com If the KU patrol cars look different as they begin driving around campus this week, it's not because you forgot what they looked like over summer vacation. The KU Public Safety Office has replaced the old Ford Crown Victorias with four new Dodge Chargers, featuring student-designed graphics. The department gets new patrol cars every three or four years, said Chris Keary, assistant chief of police services. The cost of the four cars with the added equipment and design was around $100,000. The cars being replaced will have their graphics removed and join the fleet of unmarked vehicles. The chargers have V6 engines as opposed to V8s, and they can use E-85 gasoline, which will save on fuel costs. But the distinct look will likely be the most notable change. Keary said in past years the graphics for cars were designed in house, but this year they asked students from the School of Design to share their ideas. Several designs were presented to Chief Ralph Oliver and elements were taken from two of them. Andrew Meier was a freshman last year when he turned in his design featuring blue bands that wrap around the car, outlined in reflective red paint. George Ressler, a senior when he submitted his design, incorporated blue strips on the hood that encircled the headlights. "It was very minimalistic," said Ressler of his original design. "It's always good to collaborate. I think they took the best of both designs and made a pretty kick ass design." The office likes that the graphic separates its cars from other local law enforcement and catches people's attention. "One of the prime factors of any police car is visibility." Keary said. "We want people to see the cars we put around campus." Jeremy Shellhorn, assistant professor of visual communication, oversaw the design competition and was happy to give students an opportunity to design such a high-profile project. He said he hopes the department will ask design students for their input in the future. "It was a pretty fast project. I'm sure there were probably some things that we would have explored more if we had more time," Shellhorn said. "But it's a good first hello in a relationship and hopefully they'll want to collaborate with us again in a more formal setting."

Pearse, however, did increase his daughter's chances by creating 150 new seats during the summer. The Underground expansion project, which took about two months to complete, added approximately 3,000 square feet to the space, improving traffic flow and allowing for more efficient use of services. Work on the Underground, which began directly after graduation, was completed on schedule and under budget according to Pearse, with a total cost of roughly $478,000. "We're pretty happy about it," Pearse said, "given the complexity and the short period of time we had." The Underground opened its doors to customers last Tuesday with an elongated cafeteria, a larger Pulse coffee shop adjacent to the north entrance and a new C Store in the northeast corner. Michael Wade-Smith, former student body president, and Megan Ritter, former vice president of Student Senate, proposed the project last spring. The project was funded by student fees. While much is new in the Underground, some signs of the past remain. A thin strip of exposed concrete flooring lingers on the new widened walkway, marking the former border of the north entrance.

That will include one football game per year, a handful of women's basketball games and most home volleyball and baseball games. There probably won't be any men's basketball games available. THI Kansas State sports information director Kenny Lannou said the network is an extension of more limited service already offered through the school's athletics website provider, CBS College Network. Subscribers will pay the same amount — $9.95 per month or $79.95 per year — to get the upgraded service. But the games and other events will be shot with higher-quality equipment and using more cameras. Some content, such as campus lectures and performances, will be available for free. "Before it was typically one camera per sporting event," Lannou said. "Now the games will be produced with multiple cameras and full high-definition." Currently, about 1,800 subscribers pay for the more limited service. But the school hopes the number of subscribers grows when the upgraded service debuts Aug. 30 with the Wildcats' volleyball home opener against Creighton. The network also will feature the Wildcats football season opener against Eastern Kentucky. "We want to ensure that K-Staters anywhere in the world can watch the Wildcats, and the fact that all of our new programming will be produced in high definition will also put us in a strategic position as we continue to explore future avenues for distribution," athletics director John Currie said in a news release. --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 PAGE 11A CAMPUS Places to stay open to help new students IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Dozens of University offices and departments will be open over the weekend to serve students before classes begin on Monday.

University officials attribute the high demand to a multimillion dollar effort to improve the university's living areas. University housing official Steve Erwin says the school's nine residence halls have room for more than 1,300 students. Last school year, the university had a record 1,201 students living in its residence halls. Other factors include a program approved in 2010 that offered in-state tuition to students from seven nearby counties in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Suburban school districts have gained advantages at the expense of urban schools and have actively guarded those benefits, according to a new study by University of Kansas researchers. The researchers studied the history of suburban America and found that inherently competitive neighborhoods promoted schools to market themselves to potential residents and used exclusionary tactics such as high home prices to keep certain populations out. The study also showed that social problems John Rury and Argun Saatcioglu, professor and assistant professor of educational leadership and policy studies, recently published the results of their study of students in the northeast United States in the American Journal of Education. such as poverty and single parent homes could prevent city neighborhoods from reaping the benefits of schools and dampen social mobility. A review of law history showed that the Brown v. Board of Education ruling was not applied equally across the nation and did not have an immediate impact in the north and west.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 CRIME PAGE 13A Booster from Miami spills about K-State ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. — A jailed University of Miami booster who claims to have provided cars, cash, prostitutes and other impermissible benefits to 72 athletes told Yahoo Sports two current Kansas State players were among the recipients. Nevin Shapiro, a 42-year-old Miami resident who was sentenced in June to 20 years in federal prison for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, said he took Wichita residents Bryce and Arthur Brown, their parents and a spiritual adviser to lunch in March 2008. Shapiro also told the website he paid for hotel rooms for them during the weekend visit. That adviser, Brian Butler, told The Wichita Eagle that he and the Browns didn't know Shapiro was a Miami booster. Instead, they thought Shapiro was just a fan who helped players from out of state. "In our case, he did invite us to lunch and we did go to lunch, and he did reserve some rooms for us, for myself and Mr. Brown senior," Butler told the newspaper. "Those things, I can say that he did." At the time, Arthur Brown was already enrolled at Miami, where he played linebacker for two years before transferring to Kansas State. His younger brother, Bryce, was a sophomore at Wichita East and considered one of the top high school running backs in the nation. He committed to Miami, but ended up at Tennessee, where he played one season before also transferring to Kansas State. Both brothers had to sit out last season because of NCAA transfer rules. "He wasn't giving us money and trying to pay us or bring Bryce or Arthur there," Butler said. "Arthur was already at the school. We didn't get to see the yacht and the mansion. People are trying to make it seem like I'm some agent. He brought that up. I don't know where he got that from." Messages left with the Kansas State sports information office Wednesday were not immediately returned. Shapiro pleaded guilty in June to securities fraud and money laundering. In addition to a 20-year prison term, he was ordered to pay more than 882 million in restitution. He told Yahoo! Sports that he gave money and gifts to players, paid for nightclub outings, sex parties and in one case an abortion for a woman impregnated by a player. Man romances women, steals THEFT ASSOCIATED PRESS A man uses dating websites to find women and then fakes money problems BOSTON — A married Massachusetts man met four other women online, romanced them over the span of years and then stole more than $200,000 from them by feigning financial and medical problems, authorities said. Albert Lovering Jr., of Waltham, was indicted Tuesday on 23 counts of larceny. He pleaded not guilty Wednesday. Lovering, 54, met the women through various dating websites and deceived them into believing he was romantically attached to them. Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said. The women loaned Lovering money — including one who gave him more than $100,000 after meeting him just once — with the expectation he would repay them, but he never did, Leone said. Lovering's lawyer, Daniel "These allegations are extremely troubling and the defendant's lies spanned several years, targeting numerous victims who were conned into believing the defendant cared for them," Leone said in a statement. Flaherty, revealed his marital status as he asked a judge to release his client on personal recognizance as he awaits trial. He said Lovering has lived with his wife in Waltham since 1999. The judge rejected the request and set bail at $10,000 cash. Flaherty did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the accusations. Loving allegedly met the first woman in 2006 after they both placed dating ads on Yahoo.com. The woman agreed to Loving met the second woman in 2008 through a personal ad on Craigslist and courteed her with "romantic dinners and professions of warmth, affection and physical attraction," Leone said. He also convinced her that he needed $28,000 to complete an eBay purchase, authorities said. "These allegations are extremely troubling and the defendant's lies spanned several years..." The woman never saw Lov- GERRY LEONE Middlesex District Attorney loan Lovering $1,000 after he told her he had placed a bid on eBay on an item he had to purchase immediately, prosecutors said. He allegedly then told the woman he needed more money for several purchases and that she needed her to cosign a loan. When the loan was approved, he used the money for himself and did not repay the woman, Leone said. told her that his health insurer would not pay several of his medical bills and that the hospital would not release him until those bills were paid. ering again, but he continued to communicate with her electronically, telling her he had to be hospitalized in New Hampshire for a serious medical condition, Leone said. He allegedly "Based on his need, her affection for him and his promises of repayment, she sent a series of checks payable to him to a post office box," Leone said. In total, the woman loaned him more than $70,000, he said. Prosecutors said Lovering met a third woman in 2009 through Craigslist. When they met for the first time, Lovering allegedly told the woman he owed the Internal Revenue Service back taxes and asked for a loan. The woman loaned Lovering $7,200 and never saw him again, Leone said. Lovering met the fourth woman through Plentyoffish.com, authorities said. They met only once, but Leone said Lovering led the woman to believe he was romantically interested in her and told her he needed a loan to pay back taxes. The woman gave him two checks totaling $1,500 on the promise that he would repay her, authorities said. Leone said Lovering told the woman in January 2009 that he was hospitalized in New Hampshire and unable to get discharged until all his medical bills were paid. The woman repeatedly sent money to him through a post office box, investigators said. All told, she loaned him more than $100,000, they said.

Freshmen and sophomores are in a building across town. The new middle school is in an industrial park. Across Joplin, the schools are still a jumble, with books, computer monitors and unassembled furniture littering unfamiliar hallways. But as classes resumed Wednesday, students and teachers welcomed the start of another year as a return to something normal MOVIN'ON UP — or what passes for normal in a city crippled last spring by the nation's single deadliest灾祸 in six decades. "You can't pretend like nothing happened," said English teacher Brenda White. "But everything is so new here. Every single thing that is this school is new and different." The twister killed 160 people, injured hundreds more and destroyed thousands of buildings, including Joplin's only public high school. After months of cleaning up debris, attending funerals and trying to rebuild shattered lives, it was time to get back to pop quizzes and homework assignments. "It's going to take a while to build everything back, but books are a good start." White said while stocking her classrooms with copies of The Great Gatsby, the Kite Runner and other literary standards, past and present. District leaders quickly realized that they would play a huge role in Joplin's recovery, for reasons symbolic as much as practical. They expanded the hours and locations of summer school in an effort to give children a reassuring routine — and their parents the time to deal with insurance agents, contractors and social service agencies. The school system was hit especially hard by the May 22 tornado. Seven students and one employee were among the victims, including a senior pulled from his car by winds on his way home from the Joplin High School graduation ceremony. Six school buildings were destroyed, including the high school. Seven other buildings were badly damaged. They cobbled together a hodgepodge of temporary locations for fall classes, from the old Shoppe store at Northpark Mall to a former Missouri Department of Transportation office where the superintendent and other administrators now work. Rival elementary schools combined, and a middle school found space in an industrial park. Even in a corner of the country where hard work is cherished, the swiftness of the transformation was striking, White said.

Miller said he is looking forward to meeting new people this school year. WEATHER Tropical storm gets stronger but not a major threat yet MIAMI — Tropical Storm Greg is strengthening as it moves parallel to Mexico's Pacific coast but is not prompting any coastal watches or warnings. The storm is forecast to become a hurricane later Thursday but on a generally northwest track out to sea that will keep its center well away from land. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Wednesday the storm had maximum sustained winds north 65 mph (105 kph). It was centered about 195 miles (315 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. It's more than 450 miles south-south-east off the southern tip of Baja, Calif. Meanwhile, farther out in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Fernanda is moving slowly west-northwest with no change in strength. The storm's maximum sustained winds remained near 50 mph (85 kph). Associated Press udk Back to School Blowout 1 FILL OUT 2 DROP OFF Drop Off! 3 COME PARTY Marine donates organ as last act MILITARY ASSOCIATED PRESS PENSACOLA, Fla. — Nicknamed "Superman" because of his chiselled 6-foot-3 frame, Marine Lt. Patrick Wayland saved his most heroic act for last. He donated a kidney to a comrade he never met. Wayland, a flight student at Pensacola Naval Air Station, died earlier this month after his heart stopped beating during water survival training. He was already an organ donor, but while on life support, his family decided they wanted to help a fellow Marine. A doctor who treated the 24-year-old Wayland searched the Internet for "Marine needing transplant" and found a website for Sgt. Jacob "Jake" Chadwick, who was stationed on the other side of the country at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Chadwick had a serious kidney disease and was undergoing dialysis, four hours each day. He and Wayland were about the same age, and after several tests, doctors said they were a match. "He has given me a second chance at life," Chadwick, 23, said Tuesday. Wayland decided he wanted to become a pilot and attend the Naval Academy after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He was a top high school student, athlete and involved in his community of Midland Texas, according to his father. But he didn't get an academy appointment on his first try and went to Tech. He was accepted to the academy the next year. "He did accomplish that goal." David Wayland said. "He had done his preliminary flight instruction and his solo flight. I joked with him that if he didn't make it back, we would give his room to his sister." When Wayland was taken to the hospital Aug. 1, friends and family spent four days at his bedside before he was declared brain dead. "The fact that he turned out to be such a perfect match was pretty amazing." He had recently taken his first solo flight as a Marine flight student. He sent a text message to his father, David Wayland, as he was waiting on the runway. JEFFERY MOORE Flight surgeon "Patty was physically very strong and seeing him in a hospital bed was very difficult," said Wayland's roommate, Marine Lt. John Silvestro. "... At it we thought he was stable and then it went from one sort of bad news to another."

Chadwick said. "I cannot begin to express what I feel for what they have done. This is all so overwhelming." The Waylands don't know who received the other five organs that were donated. But they hope to eventually meet Chadwick. He didn't know the full story behind his transplant until days later when Silvestro, Wayland's roommate, called him. They have kept in touch ever since. Chadwick is married and he is expecting his second child in November. His wife, Victoria, created a website for her husband when he was diagnosed with kidney disease after returning from a yearlong deployment to Iraq in 2009. Chadwick had been on a five-year waiting list for a transplant when he received the kidney Aug. 7. Chadwick said the Marine Corps is a brotherhood. "I was very happy that I found somebody but there was still a lot of screening that had to be done. The fact that he turned out to be "From the time you go into boot camp to the time you leave boot camp, it is about being there for your fellow Marines.

Send your thoughts to vshanker@ kansan.com to let the Editorial Board know. LIFE STYLE Tips to avoid killing your roommate Keep it clean Remember, your roommate is neither your maid nor your mother and does not want to clean up your dirty dishes. Take responsibility for your share of the mess and rinse out that half-eaten bowl of Cleieros or clean out your now oddly colored lettovers from the fridge. Alexis Knutsem ZZZ's Respect your roommate's right to sleep. Whether it's a late night cram session or a midnight jam session, your tired roommate will undoubtedly appreciate having the main lights off and the volume turned down. Bring a desk lamp and headphones. It will definitely help your roommate sleep at night. Keep your clothes on whenever possible. Ethan Lovell Respect Don't blab about your roommate's personal life. You may have heard this tip before, but it's worth revisiting now that you've moved in. Although it may seem interesting and strange that your roommate has three girlfriends (who may or may not know about each other) or that your roomie makes really strange noises in the middle of the night, telling everyone about it won't be good for you or your roommate. Be considerate; you'dn't want someone sharing all of your weird secrets just because they live with you. Alone time Necked Get out of the house. Roommates do not need to spend every minute together. Just because you share a living space does not mean you share lives. Give your roommate some alone time at home. If roommates cannot give each other alone time in their own living space, where are they going to get it? — Kelly Cosby The first time your roommate walks in on you naked can be fairly awkward. By the third or fourth time, they'll be down at the housing office requesting a new roommate who can keep his pants on. Dylan Lysen Ethan Lovell Coming Out Drop hints if/when you're coming out to your roommate. Roommate doesn't know you're gay or lesbian? The best way to come out to your roommate is through Facebook clues — note that you are interested in the same sex on your personal information or "check-in" at an exclusively gay venue, such as a gay club, just before adding your roommate. Your roommate will get the picture, and you can avoid any awkwardness after he or she walks in while you're spooning with your buddy and watching Cabaret/Kill Bill. James Castle Kumbava Talk to your roommates about ground rules for living together. If your roommates aren't comfortable with something, don't disregard their wishes. Listen to everyone and respect their opinions and beliefs. Try to come to a compromise. Don't sit in silence the whole year and bubble with resentment if there is something your roommate is doing that genuinely bothers you. Alexis Knutsen 10-4. over and out Establish a clear privacy code. Let's say that special someone is in your room, and you think some unexpected intimacy is about to commence. But you're not sure and don't want your date to think you planned on hooking up. How do you text your roommate not to come home if your date is sitting right next to you, and the phone is in his or her peripheral? Create a text code, such as "777," to discretely communicate this potential issue to your roommate. Drinketh before it stinketh Clean the refrigerator out often. Keep an eye on expiration dates. Don't make your roommate wonder if you're using that leftover spaghetti from two weeks ago as some kind of weird science experiment. Sure, mold gave us penicillin — but from roommates it gets us angry passive-aggressive notes and unpleasant conversations. Jason Bennett One on one Communicate any issues you have with your roommate — to your roommate. If you have a problem with your roommate, don't air your grievance publicly or complain to all your friends before bringing up the subject with your roommate. Airing dirty laundry in public (literally or figuratively) is not going to help the problem resolve itself. Tell your roommate what you expect and work out an agreement.

Maggie and Rosie Hull and the rest of the Jayhawk softball team hosted Baylor on April 17. It was the Pink in the Park game, an annual tradition for breast cancer awareness. With an acute eye and journalistic instincts, former sports editor Corey Thibodeaux sat watching from the bleachers of Arrocha Ballpark. Corey thought he was writing a typical game story, something that would be buried behind columns and baseball news. Hierarchy rules, after all. But then Corey noticed something different. The Hulls wore pink wristbands that read "Mom." A few questions later, he discovered that Marilyn Hill, Maggie and Rosie's mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer when the twins were sophomores in high school. Marilyn has been cancer-free for more than three years and serves as a monument of strength for her children. The next day, Corey's story sat on the front page, displayed prominently at the top of the page. The point is, chess or cycling, golf or rowing, track or fencing. The Kansan does not discriminate. This is the fall 2011 sports section, and there will be no picking favorites, just reporting the news. Sure, we know that you want to hear about football and basketball, and we'll have those, too (and in fine fashion). But our section's ultimate goal is to find the best stories, no matter the sport, and tell them in the clearest and most effective way possible. We might tell a story with a timeline, such as our men's basketball summer recap on page four. We will continue more traditional formatting, such as Mike Vernon's football story you see on this page. Other creative styles will appear as the semester progresses. When you visit Kansan.com, you will find weekly blogs, mailbags, podcasts and live chats.

MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN und this year MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Entering fall camp last season, coach Turner Gill and his new staff at Kansas had their hands full trying to implement new schemes, ideals and values in a team almost entirely recruited by former coach Mark Mangino. Now, with far better knowledge of how their players perform in actual game situations, the coaching staff is able to tailor its games plan to the teams strengths, which start and end in one place — running the ball. "Last year it was more 60-40 pass-o-run, offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. "It's probably going to be the reverse of that this year. Maybe even a little bit more than that with the run game." With 742 yards rushing last season, sophomore running back James Sims makes it easy to see why the coaching staff is changing it up. After averaging 4.4 yards per carry last year, Sims said a goal of his has been to reach 1,000 rushing yards — a goal that seems to be within reach with the coaches' new focus on the running game. With the added carries, Sims will need some backup. Fortunately for him, there's a lot of young talent at running back behind him. In particular, freshman Darrin Miller and redshirt freshman Brandon Bourbon should see action on the field this season. While there is plenty of depth behind Sims, Gill made it clear that he should have no concern about where he stands among the others. "He is our best guy at this point in time. He has a good approach every day, coming to work, getting better, talking to coach Mitchell, and talking to myself." Gill said, referring to running back coach Rebecca Mitchell. An offensive line that returns nearly all of its core players from last year will also be key in Stos pursuit of the 1,000-yard mark. Without the oleaveful line, wed be nothing. Sims said. They been opening up some big holes for us this fall and we just hope carry that on through the season. Senior Jeremiah Hatch will be critical in improving the defensive line, which allowed 37 sacks last year and was struggling to consistently clear running lanes last season. After dropping more than 30 pounds during the summer, Hatch has been a leader for a group that expects to be much more effective this year. A major change on the line includes a switch from left to right tackle for junior Tanner Hawkinson. He hopes the change will help break bad habits he developed in his first two years. "I knew in my mind what I was supposed to do, but I think the muscle memory was there where habits were tough to break." Hawkinson said. "When I moved to the right side I knew what I had to do, changed my footwork, and now can get it in my muscle memory." With a year for Gill and the team to develop cohesiveness and a game plan more finely tuned to the team's running strengths, the tone at Kansas' Media Day on Aug. 9 was a positive one — not necessarily because of the usual "Everyone is getting better" talk but because the coaches now know what they have and how that is going to execute this season. "For us," Long said, "it's who do we have, and how do we get the ball in his hand." Edited by Joel Petterson SOCCER Pair arrives fresh from the World Cup RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Picture walking onto a perfectly manicured soccer field, not a blade of grass out of place. The stadium is packed full of screaming people, frantically waving their countries' flags, hoping to be shown on the gigantic electronic screen for a split second. The participants stand parallel to their respective benches as their national anthems blare out of the high-quality sound system. Game time is only moments away. This is the pinnacle of soccer. The World Cup. Freshman forward Ingrid Vidal, from Palmira, Colombia, and freshman midfielder Liana Salazar, from Bogota, Colombia, competed for their home country in the Women's World Cup in Germany earlier this summer. Vidal has 18 appearances on the national team and five goals, including the gamewinning strike to propel Colombia into the World Cup. Two players on Kansas's squad experienced this spectacle this year. Salazar's international tally is slightly lower with 13 appearances. However, she has represented Colombia in the under-17 and under-20 World Cups alongside Vidal. "That was the best goal of my career so far." Vidal said through a translator. Salazar admits the opportunity had a different feeling than her other two world adventures. "This is different because it was the "It was a little difficult coming from the under-17 and going into the regular World Cup," Vidal said. "It was hard to play with the older women, but regardless I had to represent my country and prove that Colombia was a contender to play with these experienced teams" whole World Cup," she said through a translator. "It's crazy. For me it was very hard because the U.S. team is very big and very strong." For the two players, competing against a physical team was a tremendous challenge. They lost the game 3-0. After missing the first game of the tournament, Salazar was substituted in the 55th minute and played the remainder of the game with Vidal. The Colombians faced off against a demanding and familiar opponent in the United States women's team in Sinsheim, Germany, on July 2. Vidal was thrilled to be playing for her home country. "For me it was just amazing to be on the team," Vidal said. "But more than anything to demonstrate to the world that there's a lot of talent in Colombia and to be on that level was a big accomplishment." In their first game of the tournament, the Colombians played Sweden in Leverkusen, Germany, and fell to the Swedes 1-0 on June 28. After losing to the United States in their second game, the Colombians battled the North Koreans to a 0-0 draw in their closing game on July 7. t s LIANA SALAZAR, midfielder, Bogotá Colombia Salazar settled into to Lawrence last spring and is now eligible for full time action. She has impressive ball skills and dictates pace well when she's needed to feed her forwards. Salazar made her first appearance in the Women's World Cup against the United States on July 2. She entered the game in the 55th minute and played the remainder of the match. In the exhibition opener against Butler, Salazar received the team's woman of the match, which is awarded by coach Mark Francis after every game. High School: Instituto Pedagogico Nacional INGRID VIDAL, forward, Palmira Colombia High School: Instituto Pedagogico Nacional Vidal definitely has the impressive awareness when ability to finish close to the Jayhawk against Butler la international including to make th Vidal definitely has the South American flash. She shows impressive awareness when the ball is near her feet along with the ability to finish close to the net. Vidal scored her first goal as a Jawhawk against Butler last Sunday in the 68th minute. In her 18 international appearances she's put home five goals, that appearances sites put home five goals, including the game-wining goal against Argentina to make the World Cup Final. Although Vidal is a freshman, she will be called upon to be one of the more important strikers this season for the Jayhawks. Following the tournament, Vidal and Salazar returned to Colombia to visit their families and do some promotional touring. The tournament wasn't as successful as the two girls hoped, but those experiences can help them in their years at Kansas. "I think, for them, it will help with the experience they've had playing in big stadiums in front of big crowds for their country", coach Mark Francis said.

Butler took advantage of a few mistakes made by the Jayhawks. Kansas lost the game in extra time when a long 30 yard shot by Butler's Claire Milam sailed into the net and put the Bulldogs over the top to win. "It's just a learning lesson," said Whitney Berry, a junior Midfielder. "I think we needed this just to figure out what we need to work on as a team. We have a lot of new players so I think it's going to take a little while in the motions." Kansas struggled early in the day, as they were unable to convert scoring opportunities into goals. The game began to look bleak as junior defender Shelby Williamson got a red card for tackling a player from behind in the 56th minute. But losing a player ended up motivating the women and bolstered their offense. "It itends to happen in soccer," coach Mark Francis said. "When you go a man down everyone tends to step it up." Kansas eventually broke the 0-0 tie with Berry's first goal of the year in the 66th minute. "Very exciting, a big truck off my back," Berry said. "I mean we were all excited. I think it gave us a little boost." The Jayhawks quickly tacked on another goal in the 68th minute when freshman forward Ingrid Vidal cleaned up a ball near the left post. Vidal played on the Colombian National Team at the Women's World Cup and has only been training with the team for about a week. But the Bulldogs came back quickly when freshman forward Elise Kotsakis scored an unassisted goal to put Butler on the board. The team stood tall for the remainder of the second half until Butler took advantage of a break away and scored in the 88th minute. Although it was a disappointing finish in the exhibition, there were some other highlights for the Jayhawks who had a good amount of young players starting the game. Six of the 11 players in the starting rotation were freshmen. "When I came onto the field a little jittery, but really excited because this is what I've been working my entire freshman year for," Stroud said. Redshirt freshman Kaitlyn Stroud also made some tremendous saves in her starting keeper debut. Overall the team was still pleased with their effort and is ready for the regular season to begin on Friday. "The biggest thing I would say is that our work ethic was good," Francis said. "Our mentality was good, but our decision making was not good, especially when they had the ball." Kansas opens up their regular season on Friday against Tennessee.

Some twenty-one years later, he was selected in the 2011 NBA Draft roughly seven minutes before Marcus. Funny how things work out sometimes. Markieff went No. 13 to the Phoenix Suns. Marcus was the better college player, an All-American, the Big 12 Player of the Year. Based on college production, he should've gone first. But he didn't, and he couldn't have cared less. "Man, it probably meant more to me than it meant to him when he went," Marcus said. "He's just my best friend, so I want him to do well." The emotion wasn't far from the surface for Marcus as his brother was called. They shared a hug and a secret handshake while both shed tears of joy. Minutes later, Markieff sat with a headset on, in the middle of a radio interview when NBA commissioner David Stern stepped to the lectern and announced Marcus as the next pick. He stood, raised a fist in the air and broke into a wide smile as his brother walked across the stage. "He's just my best friend, so I want him to do well." "Once I was called, I still had a little, you guards, but light in the frontcourt. Markieff's strengths — defense, rebounding, stretching the floor — should get him in the rotation immediately. Maybe the best news for him, though, is the presence of a pair of established veterans in know, a little pressure on me waiting for my brother to be called." Markieff said. "Once he was called, it just came off" MARUCS MORRIS Forward, Houston Rockets Both twins walk into situations where they can contribute immediately. Phoenix is heavy on Steve Nash and Grant Hill. "I hope they are ready for me to pick their brains, because I'm going to follow those guys around all day," he said. Marcus won't have any vets with the reputation of Nash or Hill, but he will have the tutelage of Kevin McHale, one of the alltime great NBA post players and the current coach of the Rockets. "From Manning to Kevin McHale, two of the best," Marcus said. "It's definitely amazing for me and amazing for my family, and I'm just ready." With the twins going to separate teams in the Western Conference, they'll play against each other for the first time in their careers. And they'll play each other often, four times in the first season. "I'm going to see him a lot," Marcus said. "I hope I don't have to guard him or he doesn't have to guard me, but basketball is basketball, and we are both competitive guys. We're both going to get after it." Josh Selby, who had been projected as a late first or early second round selection, slipped all the way to the 49th pick, winding up in Memphis with former Jayhawks Xavier Henry and Darrell Arthur.

Despite being hit by a car in the spring semester, Payne will compete in the 2012 Olympic trials. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN FILF PHOTO Senior qualifies for 2012 Olympic trials SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com Senior swimmer Stephanie Payne adds to a line of Jayhawks that have enjoyed success this year During the summer she qualified for the Olympic trials, which are June 25-July 2, 2012. While it's impressive that she could have the opportunity to represent the United States next summer in London, her journey to get to that point is more impressive. During the spring semester she was involved in a one-car accident, but she wasn't driving. She wasn't even in the car. "I parked in lot 90 and was walking to class when I looked up and saw a car coming toward me," she said. "It was going too fast for me to get out of the way." Breaking her sternum and contracting a concussion, Payne was forced to take an eight week hiatus from training that could later be attributed toward her recovery. During her absence, Payne realized exactly how much she loves swimming. She hopes to never be away from the sport for that long again. Coach Clark Campbell said she has been a pleasure to work with. "I knew she would accomplish her goal this semester at some point, but to have her do it so close after her accident was remarkable." She not only accomplished her goal, she shattered it. Payne shaved eight seconds off of her 400 meter individual medley. Campbell has never seen anything like this and believes her achievement is a testament to her strength. REX'S DOWNTOWN STADIUM BARBERSHOP $6.99 FIRST TIME CUSTOMER SPECIAL She is humbled, but nervous for the opportunity. 111 "I'm definitely nervous and excited, but this is every athletes dream and my 12 years of swimming finally paid off", Payne said. But for her dream to become a reality, she will need to push herself to her limit for the next 11 months. Campbell knows the way Payne trains is different than the way the rest of her teammates do. Campbell said that she thrives in a highly emotional setting. "Every race she has done really well she has come up to me and said, 'Coach I'm really nervous,' it just works for her," he said. Whether she is fueled through personal emotion or the encouragement of her teammates, she agrees that the emotions help her succeed. 1033 MASS (785) 836-856 OPEN MON-FRI 7am-5:30pm SAT 7am-2pm f "I know I couldn't have accomplished this without my team," said Payne.

APR. 6 LYSHAWN AND T-ROB STAY Guard Tyshawn Taylor and forward Thomas Robinson announce together that they will return to Kansas for the 2011-12 season. "This was the most trying year of my life. I want to thank everybody, and I can't wait to run up and down the court in a packed Allen Fieldhouse next year." THOMAS ROBINSON APR.7 MORRIS TWINS TO THE NBA Marcus and Markieff Morris declare for the NBA Draft as juniors. They sign with Tony Dutt of Rivals Sports Group and begin working out with NBA teams. "This decision was tugging at both our hearts." MARKIEFF MORRIS 21 KANSAS 22 APR.13 MCLEMORE AND ANDERSON SIGN Bill Self announces the signing of guard Ben McLemore and forward Braeden Anderson for the 2011-12 season. McLemore, who is 6-foot-5 and 185 pounds, gives Self an infusion of scoring, versatility and athleticism. Anderson, who is 6-foot-8 and 222 pounds, will be in the mix of forwards behind Robinson on the depth chart. APR.11 TYREL REED IS MR, JAYHAWK Bill Self names Tyrel Reed the recipient of the Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" Award. Reed, the winningest player in Kansas Men's Basketball history at 132-17 and a native of Burlington, was also a three-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection and a reliable teammate who was a solid shooter from three-point range. APR.14 SELBY ENTERS DRAFT The enigmatic Josh Selby declares for the NBA draft as a freshman. He arrived in Lawrence as the No.1 ranked freshman by Rivals.com. He backed it up in his first game, with 21 points and a game-winning shot at Southern California. On the season as a whole, however, he averaged 7.9 points and 2.2 assists per game. MUNSAI 32 APR.24 2011-12 NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED The 2011-12 non-conference schedule is announced, featuring opponents such as Kentucky at Madison Square Garden, Ohio State at Allen Fieldhouse, and the possibility of playing Georgetown, Memphis, Michigan, Tennessee, UCLA or Duke at the Maui Invitational.

Traylor, a 6-foot-7 forward from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., has drawn comparisons to Robinson for his toughness in the paint. BILL SELF JUNE 17 T-ROB TOPS SULLINGER "He reminds me a lot of Julian Wright -very bouncy, very athletic." KEVIN YOUNG SIGNS Bill Self also adds Kevin Young, a 6-foot-8 forward from Perris, Calif., to his frontcourt.

Robinson impresses scouts counselors and campers at the Amare Stoudemire Skills Camp in Chicago, Ill.

Talib led the Buccaneers with six interceptions despite having his season cut short by a hip injury he suffered in week 13. - Kerry Meier is fully recovered from a knee injury that forced him to miss all of last season. He is expected to be the fourth wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons and will line up all over the field at split out, in the slot, as a tight end and possibly as a quarterback for some trick plays, given his history of throwing the football at Kansas. - Wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe caught four passes for 60 yards for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in its preseason opponent against the Chiefs on Aug. 12 at Kansas City. Briscoe caught four passes for 65 yards and a touchdown in a 23-13 victory at New Orleans on Jan. 2 last season. - Defensive end Jake Laptad signed as an undrafted rookie free agent with the Chicago Bears on July 29. - Offensive tackle Brad Thorsor was waived by the Arizona Cardinals Aug. 8 after injuring his right leg in practice Aug. 5. - Chris Harris is fighting for playing time as a cornerback for the Denver Broncos and will mostly be used on special teams this season. - Darrell Stuckey is expected to contribute on special teams for the San Diego Chargers.

ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW Heat, Eagles in different situations If I hear anybody utter the words, "Philadelphia Eagles" and "Miami Heat" in the same sentence, the words "aren't like" must be in the sentence as well. July 8, 2010 — a day that will live in infamy. It was a day that LeBron James announced that he would be taking his talents to South Beach to team up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. By Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/mlavieri James then said this trio would win not one, not two, not three, but many championships. Expectations were high, as they were projected to win the 2011 NBA championship, but the Dallas Mavericks spoiled those plans and won the franchise's first title. The Eagles will have those same expectations as they have loaded up with free agent signings. The Eagles swooped in — pun intended — and stole cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who was expected to go to the New York Jets, the Dallas Cowboys or the Houston Texans. The defensive line was bolstered by the signings of Cullen Jenkins and Jason Babin. Michael Vick was given more targets in wide receiver Steve Smith who was with division rival New York Giants. Former Miami Dolphin Ronnie the Heat is because these players didn't conspire before signing. It just happened. The pieces just fell into place. Besides, none of these players have come out and said anything like James. The media is placing pressure on this team. It's saying Super Bowl or bust. Brown gives the Eagles depth at running back, and if Vick happens to get injured, the offense won't really change with Vince Young stepping in. Young was signed because the Eagles traded backup quarterback Kevin Kolb to Arizona for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cartmore. The secondary team for the Eagles is ridiculous. Rodgers-Cromartie and Asomugha join Asante Samuel to make up — in my opinion — the best secondary in the league. I don't know how any team is going to want to throw the ball. When the Chicago Bears go to Philadelphia, these three should have a field day since Jay Cutler threw 16 interceptions and got sacked a woeful 52 times last season. This isn't a lofty expectation as it is a talented team, but it's sports and the games have to be played. The reason the Eagles are different from Just be thankful football is back and the league isn't locked out like the NBA. The Eagles will have an opportunity to complete their quest for a Lombardi Trophy whereas the Heat and the NBA look to be locked out for the entire season and maybe more.

The team finished with a 6-13 record, 1-9 in conference, and now hope to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008. Only three members of the team have been to the tournament: midfielders Kelsey Clifton and Jordyn Perdue and forward Kortnev Clifton. This year's team is especially young; it returns eight upper-classmen of the 23 women on the roster. Some of the returning players took last season's troubles hard. in particular the minute group of returning seniors. "The first thing I think I did personally was take a step back and look how I could have contributed better," Clifton said. "I just knew none of us wanted to have a season like that again. We all talked to each other and made it very clear how we're not going back to that." Clifton was named the team's offensive Most Valuable Player in 2010 and will be looked to as a leader on this year's squad. "I'm generally a very quiet person on the field," Clifton said. "So I'm going to take it upon myself to be more of a leader and use my voice to guide the other players." Along with Clifton, junior midfielder Whitney Berry wants to lead by example. Berry, who was named to the All-Big 12 second team for the second time in her career, hopes to garner some individual accolades. "I just want to one up myself every season," Berry said. "Hopefully I can make my stats a little better and even just helping the team with assists and maybe get my Big 12 honors again." Those much needed contributions will likely come from inexperienced underclassmen. get my Big 12 honors again." She'll probably pad the stat sheet, but it's the players in the midfield that need to contribute. "I just knew none of us wanted to have a season like that again." It was a difficult first year for the sophomore class, and nobody felt worse about the struggles than WHITNEY BERRY Junior.midfielder. Madi Hillis, who hopes to make an impression on the Big 12. defense looks inevitable. "This year I really look to make a big impact just because I made an impact last year on the field." Hillis said. "I'm really hoping to kind of step up that part of my game and show people I can lead on the field." If Hillis does move, it will strengthen a depleted backline that allowed 29 goals last season. After losing defenders Lauren Jackson, Geneva Magness and six others to graduation, coach Mark Francis added eight new players, including midfielder Liana Salazar and forward Ingrid Vidal. Both players participated in the Women's World Cup for their home country of Colombia. "That experience will be great to bring to our team and they are both obviously great players so hopefully they can come in and show what they can do" Francis said. With a host of new talent mixed with some veterans, the Kansas women look to move up in the Big 12 standings and clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament. "I'm just ready to come out and prove everybody wrong because I think they're thinking 'Oh we're playing KU that will be easy,' Hillis said. "We're ready to show them that we're not going to be an easy team and we have a completely different mentality this year and we are ready to win." - Edited by C.J.

MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Club welcomes all skill levels not solely for serious racers KANSAS CYCLING KANSAS CYCLING KANSAS CYCLING Lawrence The cycling club does not start its season until April, but members practice and stay in shape throughout the fall. DREW HARMS DREW HARMS dharnes@kansan.com Although the official cycling season doesn't begin until April, the KU Cycling Club has found many ways to keep in shape in the fall. Grayson Warrior, recruitment officer for the KU Cycling Club, will begin his second year as a member this fall. He said that last year was a great experience for him and shared how cycling is wonderful because he is able to hang out with other people who are also dedicated cyclists. He thinks a majority of people who aren't familiar with cycling believe that all they do in the club is race, but that is not the case Every Friday, the team will meet on campus mid afternoon, and go on a "joyride." The joyride, Warrior said, consists of a more relaxed, slow-pace ride where the team will often meet other riders around Lawrence. The official cycling season kicks off in the spring, but many team members will train year round. In the summer some members biked in non-collegiate leagues in Kansas City and rode for teams such as Colavita/Parisi. In the winter the team will meet at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center a few times a week to train. The members will bring their own bikes into the lower level of the recreation center and hook up their back wheel to a magnetic device called a trainer. The device works to keep the bike in place and also adds resistance so the riders can train harder. The collegiate-run events start in April and last until the end of May. During this time the team will make trips to Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota to compete with different universities. Warrior said it was funny to see how different the quantities of members differ from each 7 college. "Last year Nebraska only had two members that we competed with, whereas Minnesota had a huge team with around 50 members," Warrior said. Warrior said that sometimes there will be as many as 200 who compete in the races. Warrior himself has placed in the top five multiple times. Cyclists across the world follow certain rankings, and put themselves into categories from one to five. The rankings are represented with one and two being the pros, three being almost pro, four being a step up from intermediate, and five being beginner. He said he considers himself as a No. 2 ranking cyclist overall. "There's a misconception out "The team as a whole just wants to have fun and race with other people who share the same dedication and passion for cycling." White said. The team kicks off with their first non-collegiate event on Sep. 2 in St. Louis. there that the cycling club is just for serious racers, but that's not the case, said Andy White, president of the cycling club. White said there are more aspects to cycling than that, said he enjoys being a member of the team because it's rewarding and offers a fantastic feeling after you cross the finish line. White encourages anyone who is interested in cycling no matter your skill level to join the club.

In addition to the Big 12 championship at the end of the regular season, Kansas will compete in the Conference USA tournament with three other Big 12 schools for the second consecutive year in preparation for 2013, when they must compete in a conference with at least six teams to be eligible for an automatic bid to the NCAA championship. "Our ultimate goal is to always win the Big 12 and compete really well during Conference USA," Boehner said. "We're also trying a lot more team bonding this year and hopefully that will carry in to really good competition." As a senior, Boehner understands what kind of effort it will take from the team to reach those goals. "Our ultimate goal is to always win the Big 12 and compete really well during Conference USA." she said. "I may not be the best rower on the team, but if everyone can come together and pull their own weight, I think we can have a really good shot at doing some good things this year." "I want to try my best and get the best times I can and really just help the team in every way I can," There are only two meets MOLLY BOEHNER Senior rower scheduled for the fall, but both are very competitive events. The team will start out in Oklahoma and will wrap up its秋 season Nov. 5-6 in Chattanooga, Tenn. Come spring, the team will again travel to meets in Tennessee and Oklahoma along with a meet in Kansas City, Kan., and two in New Jersey. Melanie Luthi, a senior from Junction City, is particularly excited about the Knecht Cup, which will be held in Camden, N.J. "It's my goal to place in the top three at Knech," Luthi said. "It's a great event and great competition." The team has a long offseason so many members train over the summer to keep in shape. "We're going to have a run test right off the bat so that will kind of ensure that we're ready to go," Boehner said. "People have been able to go out to the river and row and lift weights, so really it's kind of up to you as a person to take care of things over the summer because right when we start up we're in full force." The Jayhawks' only home event, The Kansas Cup, will be held on Apr. 7. at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan.

"They were given specific miles to run per week, unfortunately the NCAA doesn't allow us to monitor those summer workouts, so we have to hope the athletes do their part." from 45 to 80 miles per week. While the overall status of the team is still undetermined, Redwine is looking to two standouts to be the spark that leads the Jayhawks in the right direction. Redwine went on to note that over the summer he asked his runners to maintain a workout of an assigned distance that ranged "Donny Wasinger was an NCAA qualifier last year, and Rebeka Stowe was an All-American in track. You would expect his performances and her experience to lead the team this year," Redwine said. STANLEY REDWINE Coach Last season for the Jayhawks, Wasinger was a top finisher in the five meets he raced in. The postseason yielded him an invitation to the NCAA Championships where he finished the 10K in 233rd with a time of 33:02.7. Stowe, on the other hand, garnered All-Big 12 honors en route to her 12 place finish at the Big 12 Championships while also being named to the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's All-Academic team.

A 12-day tour of Europe may have prepared the Kansas volleyball team for its first tournament in Athens. In June, the team traveled to Europe to challenge European squads in seven matches, or roughly 25 percent of a team's games for a regular season. The team finished with an impressive 5-2 record. Outside hitter Allison Mayfield is one of three seniors on this year's squad. Mayfield said going nearly two weeks without cell phones and contact with any outsiders brought the team closer together. 15 KANSAS 14 "I think it could be part of why our team has such good chemistry," Mayfield said. "We were very fortunate the athletic department let us go. I think we grew stronger as a team." The volleyball team will open its season Aug. 26 as part of the Georgia Bulldog Invitational in Athens, Ga. The Jayhawks will play host school Georgia as well as Florida A&M and Liberty. Coach Ray Bechard said the tournament will be a good test for his sophomore-heavy team, which held its first practice Aug. 9. in both offensively and defensively," Bechard said "But this time of year, if you can't side out, if you're not offensively in order, then you're going to really struggle. So we've got to get our offensive patterns down first. The serving and defensive part of it will continue to materialize as we go throughout the year." and ready to contribute. Bechard's squad returns 10 sophomores from his 26th-ranked PrepVoleyball.com recruiting class from 2010. Between last season's playing time and the summer travel experience, Bechard said his sophomores should be seasoned "You've got to get your systems "I really don't know that there is a sophomore class in the country that got to play more matches and got more contact," Bechard said. "So we're looking at them like they've got to be contributors." Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield bumps the ball at HoreeIs Family Athletics Center last season. The Jayhawks competed in Europe this summer. "This year is my last chance, and I want to go out big." MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN NICOLE TATE Senior setter "I expect people to pick up last season, barely missing the cut for the NCAA tournament. Though the Jayhawks jumped to an early 7-0 record, they collapsed in conference play and failed their game, because last year was really disappointing," Tate said. "This year is my last chance, and I want to go out big. The only way I want to end it is by going to the tournament." Mayfield said she has expected to make the tournament every year since she was a freshman, but she feels this year may be her best shot vet. Making the tournament for the first time in six seasons would be a signature moment for the small senior class. Setter Nicole Tate, a senior, said making the tournament would erase bitter feelings that still linger from last season.

KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com A freshman guard from Olathe, Natalie Knight, rolled her new Adidas travel bag through the halls of the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. Still unfamiliar with the facilities but eager to play, Knight arrived with the four other freshmen. They were given one week to officially practice with the team before jetting off to Europe for a set of preseason games. Despite the early pressure, Knight is pleased with her experience at Kansas so far. "It is exciting to be here," Knight said. "I have always known I wanted to play for KU." "We have thrown them into the fire with how quick we are asking them to play," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "It is a family environment here." Gardner said. Gardner is one of three freshmen from Texas. She is joined by Donielle Breau, a guard from Missouri City, Mo., and Catherine (Bunny) Williams, a forward from Duncanville, Texas. Gardner and Williams come from the same AAU team. Chelsea Gardner, a freshman forward from DeSoto, Texas, attributed her decision to come to Kansas to the teammates, coaches and playing style.

The team traveled to Italy to play four games against international competition. ITALY Team documenting travels through Italy in online blog MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The women's basketball team traveled to Italy from Aug. 9 to Aug. 19 to play four games against international competition. The tour started in Rome and continued to Florence, Venice and Lake Como, with one game played in each city. Between games, the team has been shopping, taking walks in the parks and enjoying the Italian cuisine. During free time they have been updating Twitter and talking on Skype. The Jayhawks have been taking turns writing a daily blog, which is available on the KU Athletics website. From the airport, the team went to tour the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. Sophomore forward Tania Jackson blogged about the experience: "We got a tour by a very insightful man by the name of Fabio (yeah, same name as our host, haha!). There's so much history behind the Coliseum I never knew about! We took lots of pictures and just really enjoyed ourselves. On top of that it was beautiful outside. It was the perfect weather." DAY 1 DAY 2 On their first full day in Rome, the Jayhawks toured the Vatican City and attended a Mass in Latin. They broke into groups and headed out for shopping and treats. In her blog, freshman guard Natalie Knight expressed how much she enjoyed gelato: "I'd have to say the gelato here is probably the best ice cream I have ever had, which probably isn't a good thing because we have our first game tomorrow and all we have done is eat, sightsee, and shop!" DAY 3 The team celebrated freshman forward Bunny Williams' 18th birthday in Rome. In their first game in Rome, junior guard Monica Engelman led Kansas to victory with 19 points and five steals. Kansas defeated Roma Selezione 66-38. All five freshmen, guards Asia Boyd, Donielle Breaux, Natalie Knight and forwards Chelsea Gardner and Williams, played in the first game. Williams described the experience on her blog: "What more can I ask for? I'm in Italy on my birthday, playing the game I love with my teammate, coaches and school I love. The sweatshirt said it all: 'The Best Day Of My Life'." DAY 4 When the team arrived in Florence, they visited the Academy Gallery and saw Michelangelo's sculpture "David," Junior guard Angel Goodrich described her experience at an Italian McDonald's on her blog: "The rest of the day was good, but before anything else could happen, I had to get some food. The closest thing to satisfy me was McDonald's except I'm not saying, 'I'm lovin' it,' I'm only saying, 'I'm likin' it.' I think I have eaten more patties then Spongebob Squarepants has made in all his episodes because that is the only thing I can eat without comparing it too much to the U.S.I do not think I could live off of just pizza, pasta and sandwiches like Italians do." DAY 5 The team made a stop in Pisa, where they started the day by visiting and climbing to the top of the leaning tower. Junior forward Carolyn Davis led the Jayhawks to a second victory over Roma Selezone with 25 points, shooting 12-19 from the field. Keena Mays recorded what she and Williams did in their down time on day five: "Bunny (Williams) and I are just hanging out in the room now watching Italian MTV. She has me saying 'Arrivederci!' meaning 'see you later' in Italian every five minutes. This girl wakes me up every morning saying 'Arrivederci!' Arrivederci!' even though it makes no sense for the occasion. She says it is her favorite word and she likes the way it rolls off of her tongue. Whatever the case is, she gets it stuck in my head and I catch myself saying it all throughout the day."

They went on tour this summer as the opening act for platinum recording artists. KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Most college students' attempts at forming bands never really get off the ground. Even if they do, few actually have the talent, knowledge and ambition to be successful. Enter Quiet Corral, a six-piece band comprised of a Lawrence native and former KU students. After only a year and a half together, the band will be playing alongside rock superstars such as Bush, Incubus and Jane's Addiction at Buzz Beach Ball on Friday, Aug. 19. Isaac Flynn and his childhood friend Garrett Childers often talked about starting a band, but it wasn't until Childers and singer Jesse Braswell Roberts met at their fraternity that the pieces began to fall into place. By early January 2010, all six members started playing together. By November, they had written and recorded their self-titled LP, available on iTunes, which Braswell Roberts describes as folk rock with undeniable pop sensibilities. After building a local following, the guys went on tour this summer and played with radio favorites and platinum recording artists Matt Nathanson and Mumford & Sons. "They're really cool. They were really nice, really complimentary," said Flynn. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO opportunities to play to crowds of various sizes and enthusiasm levels. The tour provided them ample "It's funny, we play in front of 20 people and 2,000 people," said Flynn. "It's kind of humbling to play to a smaller crowd. We've been really fortunate because a lot of bands that have only been at it for a year go out on tour and play in front of ten people and do that for five to 10 years, and we've defeated that a little earlier on," he said. "We're just really fortunate that we had enough connections early on." Those connections include access to Massachusetts St. recording studio The Art House, which is co-owned by Flynn, his father, and Quiet Corral drummer Jim Barnes. It was the help of Kansas City radio DJ Jeremy, who hosts the "Homegrown Buzz" program on 96.5 The Buzz that showcases local artists, that allowed Quiet Corral to become more widely exposed. The band played at several Buzz concerts before landing the Beach Ball gig. But the Quiet Corral guys aren't letting the big crowds and big name bands go to the heads. "I think we're just excited to play as much as we can wherever we can," said Braswell Roberts. Flynn added: "We're having fun. Just the idea of it being able to turn into a career at the moment is really exciting. If that's the case, it doesn't get much better than this. We don't really know what to expect, and maybe that's part of the excitement." Quiet Corral will play along with artists such as Bush, Incubus and Jane's Addiction at Buzz Beach Ball on Aug.19 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

Players from the Blue Collar Press Rockets drip sweat as they try to find a way to rally and pull off a victory. They have only won two games this season, and every game counts as they try to improve their record before the playoffs. Sarah Riley stands at home base and watches the big red ball roll toward her. Kickball is just one of the unconventional intramural sports KU offers. In past years, schedules included foosball, dodgellball, wallyball — a hybrid of volleyball and handball played in a racquetball court — and quickball, a sport Beck described as a form of wifffe- "Kickball is an interesting example in that it is a huge hit with the city parks and recreation leagues and yet it has not really taken off at KU," said Matt Beck, the intramural coordinator for KU Recreational Services. "We've tried kickball leagues and tournaments and receive very little interest in playing." Riley and the other players on the field are members of a league that has become so popular that there is now a wait list for teams that want to play next season.

But KU students have not yet fully embraced the playground sports trend. ball with similar rules to baseball and is played indoors. KICKIN' IT OLD SCHOOL PHOTOS BY TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Despite these unique offerings, Beck said that traditional sports like basketball are more popular with students, and although kickball is fun, it is not taken as seriously as other sports. Riley, a senior from Overland Park, said that the reason kickball games haven't taken off could be because the intramural programs are not promoted enough to get students' attention, or that students are more comfortable playing familiar sports. "I think it would be great to see more unconventional sports played in Lawrence and on campus," Riley said. "I think they draw a different crowd of people and get more people involved in some really fun sports." One notable sport introduced to KU last year was Quidditch, the pastime of the wizarding world depicted in the Harry Potter series. The University's club team goes to tournaments and play opponents such as Louisiana State University, Wichita State University and Texas Tech, said team member Zack Castilleja, a junior from Kansas City. Edited by Marla Daniels "I'm constantly looking for the next big thing that we can add, but I am open to student suggestions," he said. "Let's hear them." And there are plenty of opportunities for students to introduce new sports like Quidditch to campus said Beck.

MOVIES Originally conceived as a sample script for "The X-Files" in 1995, it made the unusual transition into a feature film five years later. That horror movie was thought of by executives at New Line Cinema as a low budget one-off, but when it became a surprise hit, a sequel was quickly cooked up. By 2009, fourth entry "The Final Destination" was, as its title implied, intended to finish the series. But despite negative reviews and fan reactions, 3-D projection saved the day. Domestic box-office sales rose modestly to $66 million, and international grosses nearly doubled from the previous high to $120 million, sending producers back to the drawing board yet again. As "Final Destination 5" hits theaters in 3-D this Friday, the future of the franchise about teenagers who cheat death only to meet a grisly demise as retribution is uncertain. Pre-release audience polling indicates it could open $10 million lower than the $27.4-million debut of "The Final Destination," perhaps in part because audience interest in 3-D has waned over the last year. "We're really fortunate to have a concept that can keep going and going with new cast members or writers or directors," said Craig Perry, who has produced all five "Final Destination" films. "We could even take these movies into the Old West or outer space. It's only up to how long the audience will have us." In an industry obsessed with repeatable franchises and cost control, "Final Destination" may be a Hollywood marketer's dream: an idea with endless iterations. Each movie is built around a series of set pieces in which young cast members fall victim to, or narrowly escape, an unlikely but painful end. Instruments of killing in the fifth entry include a bridge collapse, acupuncture needles, and eye surgery. Every sequel includes a new group of young, up-and-coming, inexpensive actors, such as Nicholas D'Agosto from the TV show "Heroes," who leads the cast of the latest installment. And after two directors worked on the first four films, Steven Quale, who previously did second-unit work for James Cameron on "Avatar" and "Titanic" took charge of "Final Destination 5." As a result, Warner Bros. label New Line was able to bring down the budget "We're really fortunate to have a concept that can keep going and going with new cast members or writers or directors." Street." "That was always the hard part about getting the studio to come on board," Reddick said. "For a while they had me conceptualize death as a spectral figure." In the modern world of horror films, where high-concept series with unseen villains like "Paranormal Activity" are red hot, "Final Destination" may be more relevant than ever. But Perry said pumping out annual sequels, as Paramount is doing for the third year in a row with "Paranormal," is impossible for his franchise given the extensive special effects. The hardest part, however, is simply coming up with cre- from close to $50 million for "The Final Destination" to a little over $40 million for the new movie. Original co-screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick had come up with the concept of fate seeking revenge on people who find a way to cheat death as a sample "X-Files" script in order to land an agent. But when it turned into a feature in development at New Line, where Reddick worked as an assistant at the time, executives were wary of the lack of an iconic villain like Freddy Krueger of "A Nightmare on Elm "Being able to re-create the experience but keep costs down by never making this a star-driven franchise means we have continued to feel it's worth repeating," said New Line production President Richard Brener. CRAIG PERRY producer ative ways for more kids to die. People involved in making 2009's "The Final Destination" admit the picture was creatively lacking, citing uninspired scenes such as an explosion in a theater where people are watching a 3-D movie. They're hoping to make up for it this time around with a new idea in "Final Destination 5": People targeted for death can escape their fate by killing another person. Initial skepticism among horror fans who felt burned in 2009 might make it tough to match the $27.4-million opening of "The Final Destination." But if word of mouth is good enough, the studio is hopeful that this new entry could still match the $186-million worldwide total of its predecessor and merit another entry in 2013. "We don't have a script in development yet," Brener said, "but we're always tossing around cool ideas for a death." UDK Oh yeah. There's an app for that!

The world's most beloved barbarian (played this time by Jason Momoa) returns to save the land of Hyboria from hordes of monsters, wizards and other wilders. The presence of director Marcus Nispel, who made the glossy but hollow remakes of "Friday the 13th" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," gives us pause. But you have to have hope. Besides, how do you mess up Conan? Oh wait: "Conan the Destroyer." Never mind. The 1980s comedy-horror staple gets a true 3-D remake, with Anton Yelchin as the teenager convinced that his new next-door neighbor (Colin Farrell) is really a vampire. The movie was written by former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" show runner Marti Noxon: We sense much promise in this one. FRIGHT NIGHT (R): Director Lone Scherfig ("An Education") returns with this adaptation of David Nicholls' novel about a couple (Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturges) who, on the night of their graduation from college, get an opportunity to glimpse into the future and see what lies in store for them. (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara) are in their 20s now and far from anything resembling kids, so the action mostly focuses on a television reporter (Jessica Alba) — with a husband and twin step-kids — who is a retired secret agent called back into duty to stop a maniacal villain (Jeremy Piven). This one isn't in 3-D: It's in 4-D, complete with scratch-and-sniff cards to be used at specific points in the film.

It's his other job: dean of the school of filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I went to film school myself at Northwest University, back when we still shot with 16-milimeter cameras, lugged around Nagra sound recorders and edited footage on ancient Moviolas. Wed occasionally be treated to lectures from visiting filmmakers, whod regale us with tall tales about their exploits. But if you wanted any real-life experience, you had to move to L.A. and find a job. Thanks to Kerner's innovative ideas, undergrads at "We set it up as part of our internship program, but not just to get coffee, but to see how movies are really made," he said the other day, sitting in his office on the Sony lot. Every two weeks, a new group of students would establish residency on the film, listening to budget discussions he would have with the studio or sitting in on script revision meetings among Kerner, the screenwriters and director Raja Gosnell. Kerner has recruited a host of faculty members who still have their day jobs, which helps give students a grounding in the kind of problem-solving necessary to survive on a film set. Through a shadowing program, students get to spend weeks at a time on movie sets, seeing their professor in action. Nearly 80 students spent time on "Smursf" "During the shoot, if Raja went UNCSA are getting an education not just in theory and production but in the often less-than-glamorous aspects of life in the trenches of Hollywood. up to talk to an actor, our kids would be right there with him. They also got to spend time with our editors, visual effects supervisor, sound designers and other crew members. Sometimes the discussions were difficult, but that was the whole point — it's a way to learn the whys and why nots of filmmaking." (With it being 2011, students had to sign release forms promising not to blog about what they saw.) From the point of view of Andrew Porter, a 2010 graduate of the school's screenwriting program, the shadowing experience on "Smurfs" was an eye-opener. "It was pretty amazing to watch the drafts of all the scripts come through, and see what stayed and what was replaced," he said. Tom Ackerman, a veteran director of photography on such films as "Anchorman" and "Balls of Fury," has been teaching cinematography at UNCSA for three years. He's also a big believer in the shadowing process, having brought a flock of students to spend time with him on "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip Wrecked," which will hit theaters this Christmas. He also has his students listen in on his conversations with his agent so they can develop an understanding of the demands of the marketplace. Kerner never imagined himself being a film school dean — in fact, he never went to film school himself. But after surviving a freak staph infection and enduring the disappointing showing of a pet project, 2006's "Charlotte's Web," Kerner was looking for a new challenge. He became dean in 2007, agreeing to split his time between Los Angeles and Winston-Salem, where his wife and three daughters now live. UNCSA, a state school with 270 film students and tuition far below institutions like USC or AFI, has its share of prominent young albums, notably director David Gordon Green ("Pineapple Express"), writer-director Jody Hill ("Observe and Report") and screenwriter Travis Beacham ("Clash of the Titans"), who often return to share their experiences. But Kerner felt the school needed more outside professionals on the faculty, so he recruited a host of industry pros, including producer Bob Gosse and Peter Bogdanovich, who teaches a freshman film class. My biggest concern with today's film schools is that they tend to offer students far more instruction in technique than in actual ideas. But the student films I watched from UNCSA were loaded with strong ideas, wit and imagination — which may come as a bit of a surprise, given that the dean is the guy producing commercial fare like "The Smurfs" Kerner, though, sees his work as dean as contributing to enhancing the business more than any one movie he might make. "When I arrived, we had way too many student films that were full of close-ups of smoking guns, employing the imagery of video games," Kerner says. "Filmmaking isn't just about coolness and pose — you need bigger subjects to tell." So Kerner started an American Immersion project, where students gain a deeper understanding of character and story by spending several weeks at places like the Veterans Artificial Limb Hospital in Philadelphia and Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans. "They can't take cameras or recording devices — just a pad and pen," he says. "The whole idea is to go out and get to know people, hear their stories and get under their skin." COMMENTARY As much as Kerner would enjoy seeing his students make lofty art, he is enough of a realist to realize that they also need what it takes to actually land a job. Since much of the job market today is geared toward the Web, animation and TV commercials, Kerner is a proponent of short-form storytelling. "Our kids are going to have to think clearly in short bursts, because that's where the action is," he says. "But we want them to have their own voice, because having a unique voice is what sets you apart from everyone else." Last 'Harry Potter' scene grows up before saying goodbye GEOFF BOUCHER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — No other scene in the eight "Harry Potter" films created more angst for filmmakers than the epilogue of the final movie, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2," a movie that last week crossed the $1 billion mark in the worldwide box office. There were no chained dragons, hairy hippogriffs or crackling magic energies in the sequence — it's a few minutes of quiet dialogue between parents and their children in a train station — but the anxiety of it all was so smothering that the franchise's star, Daniel Radcliffe, at one point wanted to sit out of the scene. "I think they should do it with older actors and just leave us out of the scene." Radcliffe said two years ago during a quiet moment on the stone-floored movie set where he has spent half of his working life and half of his life working. "If that's what going to look best, that's what we should do. It's too important that the ending is done right." (By the way, this is an article you shouldn't read if you haven't seen the film and want to remain in the dark as you walk into theaters.) The sticky issue for Radcliffe, director David Yates and the rest of the "Potter" team was the fact that the epilogue takes place 19 years after the story's climax at the smoldering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In it, Harry and his now-adult friends, Hermione and Ron, are sending off their own children to study at Hogwarts. The plan was to "age up" Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and other young stars of the Warner Bros. franchise so they could convincingly play their elder selves. On the set in 2009, Radcliffe was leary of the plan to wear rubber fixtures on his jaw and a false hairline to age to 37. "I worry it will be a distraction," Radcliffe said. "I don't want people staring at our faces and getting distracted from that moment. For Radcliffe, the answer was to find adult actors to play the older roles. It would be difficult for any moment in any film to bear all the weight coming down on the "Deathly Hallows" epilogue. For all the billions of dollars the "Potter" producer David Heyman was thinking of that when he told Radcliffe that there was no way that three "strangers" could deliver the final lines of the main characters right before the final fade to black. "After all we have been through with these characters, the way that a generation has grown up with them, they need to be the ones on screen when it's time to bring it to a close," said Heyman, who was a key decision-maker when Radcliffe and his costars were cast in their roles back in 2000. "There's an ex- movies and books have piled up, the filmmakers also had to account for the emotional connection of, say, a 20-year-old moviegoer who had literally grown up with this vivid tale of loyalty, courage and loss. pectation — even if it is not articulated — that they need to be on the screen when it's coming to an end." The scene was finally filmed last May. A few weeks later, Radcliffe was happy to say the challenge had been met. The relief in his voice was clear even in the trans-Atlantic phone call from London. "I think we figured it out," he said. "We did it with prosthetics, in the end, and I'm sure there will be little bits of visual effects for retouching on those moments when we do a close-up. It's also a challenge to make someone who is 19 or 20 — an age where their face is still changing — and make them a fully grown adult. I think they looked fantastic, though, and, if I do say so, particularly mine." Not everyone agreed. Some images of the made-uplio leaked to the Web, and some fans thought Radcliffe's visage had gone too far into Old Man Potter territory. "Rupert (Grint, who plays Ron) looked like he was about 75 years old. With the triple chin and the belly, he looked like he had really lived as a lush." Heyman said. "We knew we needed to rework the makeup." So, in December, long after the movie had wrapped, Yates and the producers summoned their young stars back to Leavesden Studios for a second, salvaging effort. The epilogue was reshot, and director Yates said it was "the right thing to do" despite the expense, inconvenience and murmurs of negativity in the press.

Without curfews, parents or family telling you what to do, it can be hard to find guidance in college. Here are fifteen pointers from current and previous KU students. 4 "Get involved. It is a great way to meet people and give back to the school." Bryan Do, junior from Wichita "Go to class.Everything they will test over they'll tell you in class at some point." "If you do not carry your student I.D. card with you at all times, you do not exist." Ashley Barforoush, graduate from Shawnee Grace Petty, senior from Overland Park "Put yourself out there and get involved. There are so many great organizations on campus and there is an organization for anyone. This is also a great way to meet people with the same interests and likes as yourself." "Manage your time wisely; make a schedule." Gina Littlejohn, graduate from Lenexa C Jennifer Wink, sophomore from Barrington, Ill. "Go to class and take notes with an audio recorder." Daniel Knox, graduate from Leawood "Make sure the classes you're taking fulfill a requirement. I wasted my time with classes I didn't need." — Abigail DeClerk, senior from Tulsa, Okla. "Pick your major by the end of the year and stick with it." Elena Sherman, graduate from Wichita "Do not try and put all your classes on Tuesday and Thursday to avoid three days of class; you will go crazy!" — Katie Meserko, graduate from Overland Park "Check all the parking rules before parking anywhere. You will get a ticket." — Meredith Laurie, graduate from Plano, Tex. "The best part about college is diversity. Embrace diversity, because it sets people apart but also brings people together." Ben Ackerman, sophomore from Leawood "Take advantage of Massachusetts Street." - Kiley O'Connor, graduate from Omaha, Nebraska "Don't do group advising sessions. One-on-one's are much more helpful." "The first semester is the most important, because that's when you realize if you can handle college or not." Chris O'Kello, senior from Hutchinson Corey Scott, senior from Louisburg "If you wake up next to a girl you met at The Hawk the night before, she is probably not good enough to take home to mom." — Adam Mertz, senior from Gardner Over $5,000 in Prizes! - Challenge Rules - Step 1 to pg 6 in news or pg 7 in sports, to fill out tickets from each sponsor Step 2 Drop.off tickets at business location (map on pg.35) or scan here: 13048297526 Step 3 Celebrate Back-to School with the UDK at our all-day blowout at the Legends Place and Abe & Jake's. .

But when the student graduates, who keeps the change? Since 2007, $63,430 from more than 10,000 students have been left in Beak Em' Bucks accounts and sent to the Kansas State Treasurer's Unclaimed Property Department by the University Card Center. "If the student withdraws from the University or graduates, their money stays in their account for a year," Nancy Miles, director of the card center, said. THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 After one year, the money is sent to the State Treasurer's Office, and remains there indefinitely until its owner makes a request for its return. Although more than $60,000 has been left on Beak Em' Bucks Cards since 2007, only $23,348 have been re-claimed. The treasury has an online database that lists all unclaimed property by name, so long as the amount is more than five dollars. Unclaimed properties are listed through the State Treasurer by county. "The money students charge to their Beak Em' Bucks does not belong to the University," Miles said. "If they request a refund, we will make sure that they get it." In the last six months, 1,151 unclaimed property claims totaling $227,496 have been reimbursed in Douglas County. The number of claims is much higher than the rest of the counties in Kansas. "Most of the "University towns have a disproportionate amount of properties because students are not permanent residents here, and are "Most of the money goes unclaimed because students may not know where the money goes." money goes unclaimed because students may not know where the money goes, or even that it is due back to them," said Kathy Priest, deputy director of Unclaimed Property at the State Treasury.

She said that Beak Em' Bucks are a good example of these kindsoftemporary expenses, which students forget about when they leave Lawrence.

"It happens frequently and gets costly after a while," KU Plumbing Supervisor Sam Gunther said. Gunther said people dye and put soap into the fountain during the beginning of the fall semester more than any other time. "For the first couple months of classes, it happens almost once a week," Gunther said. "After that, it starts to happen less often." Mike LaBonte, the plumbing skill trade supervisor, said it cost about $225 each time the fountain must be cleaned because of a practical jokes. That amount includes the cost of water and labor. According to the KU website, if officials catch students vandalizing the Chi Omega Fountain, they will receive a fine of $50 for adding detergent to the fountain and $100 for dying it. "Usually they don't catch the people, but if they are caught they have to pay a fine for the hours spent cleaning." Gunther said. During warm weather KU crews drain and clean the fountain three times a week to prevent algae growth. Crews also use chlorine tablets during warm weather to prevent the water from turning green, Gunther said. The fountain holds 15,000 gallons of water, Gunther said. According to the KU website the Chi Omega Sorority donated the fountain in 1955. Gunther said the sorority donated the fountain under the condition that the public will have full access to it. "There are almost always people playing in the fountain on hot days," Gunther said. WASHINGTON CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Students find it funny to dye or put soap into the Chi Omega fountain.

Six bus routes were tweaked on Aug. 1 with the hope of reaching more Lawrence residents. The changes are intended to improve access to the city and campus, according to a news release. One of the changes involve Route 10, down to 6th and Wakarusa, which previously only served campus with an eastbound stop at the Kansas Union. Now the route will have campus stops in both directions. Route 1, which runs from downtown to Haskell University, now runs every 30 minutes as opposed to the 40 minute intervals last semester. Not all routes had time shaved off between stops. Route 4, running from downtown to north Lawrence, runs once an hour. Last semester it ran once every 40 minutes. Lawrence Transit also announced a new mobile-friendly website redesign coming later this year. TWEAKS TO KU ON WHEELS ROUTES ROUTE 1: Frequency goes from 40 to 30 minutes. Service added to Prairie Park. ROUTE 3: Minor changes to Flex service zone. ROUTE 4: Frequency changed from 40 to 60 minutes Route extended to 9th and Iowa. ROUTE 5: Minor changes in timing and routing near East Hills Business Park. ROUTE 10: Route now serves campus in both directions. ROUTE 11: Simplified and improved alignment.

It was built as a memorial to KU family members who died in World War II. Graduates walk through it, but make sure you don't pass through its hallowed walls before your walk. It's known to be bad luck, forever cursing you never to graduate from KU. Yes, it's Kansas and we have no real beaches. Instead of laying out in the sand, try sitting on the concrete in front of Wescoe. This is where students like to hang out and student groups like to set-up tables and distribute handouts. THE WHEEL One of the closest bars to campus at 507 West 14th St., it is a postgame tradition. With beer, pizza and lots of students and their families, it's become an important part of KU tradition. THE HAWK Another popular bar close to campus, The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., is known for their cheap drinks and scanty dressed sorority girls. If you're 21, you probably too old for The Hawk.

The Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., is an organization near the Oread that host most of campus' social justice groups, a not-for-credit human sexuality course, an alternative library and veggie lunch every Thursday.

Numerous students opt to live with their best friends so they have a support system and someone to hang out with. However, if living routines and personalities don't match up, it could ruin a friendship. John Robertson, Lawrence psychologist, said that roommates need to talk to the person they plan on living with prior to moving in to discuss everyday living habits such as sleeping habits, study habits and cleaning habits to see if the roommate will be a good match. "A planned conversation is best, right before you move in," Robertson said. "You need to talk about how you are going to live together. Clarity, kindness and consistency are the three key things." Uzma Fareed, a graduate from Lenexa, said that when she lived with a good friend, the friendship turned sour. "What she thought was clean I thought was messy," Fareed said. "We didn't set any rules or discuss anything in the beginning, which was a mistake." The person that was once one of her best friends and now an acquaintance, Fareed regrets not having better communication. "The secret is if people can talk to each other openly about things," Robertson said. "Sometimes, if you live with a close friend, confrontation may be more difficult." Chris Leber, previous KU student from Overland Park, said he lived with a best friend his senior year of high school. Leber said that after his roommate received a DUI and suffered a car wreck, his roommate stopped drinking all together and became very religious. "Before, he would start arguments with people about believing in God, and after the accident he didn't party anymore and was a completely different person." Leber said. Leber said he also didn't help with dishes and would frequently use his computer. "We ended up avoiding each other," Leber said. "We got a point where we finally wanted to sort out our problems but it was hard because I literally wanted to hit him. We recently got into a fight and are not speaking." Leber and Fareed are not the only ones with roommate problems. And although they had their fair share of friendship issues under the same roof, they also had good experiences as well. Fareed said this last school year, she lived with a good friend, but they decided to talk about rules and compromise living habits prior to moving in. Leber said that he lived with two of his best friends and it wasn't an issue. "If we had a fight, wed get our boxing gloves and headgear and duke it out," Leber said. Robertson said he doesn't advise against living with a good friend, but people have to communicate rules, living habits and how they can compromise so living together isn't a burden. HALL CENTER for the HUMANITIES "I've had a lot of students come to me depressed because of this issue," Robertson said. "Students need to look at this situation as a roommate problem, not a friendship problem."

Those who run afoul of ordinance 7323 may find themselves evicted. The city's code enforcement division is reminding Lawrence residents of a housing ordinance that limits the number of unrelated people who may occupy a single dwelling. Dwellings zoned as single-family are limited to three unrelated persons, and all other dwellings are limited to four. The division posted a description of the ordinance on the city website together with an interactive map that shows how the city is zoned. Spencer Boland, a senior from Overland Park, was kicked out of his house last year for violating the housing ordinance. City employees knocked on his door and informed him that, with more than five unrelated people living in the house, they were in violation of city code and needed to leave within 30 days. Boland said his landlord knew about situation but didn't inform him or the other tenants of a problem. "The problem with our landlord was her not being honest with us." Boland said. The number of rental houses violating the code in the Oread Neighborhood and elsewhere isn't known exactly. Landlords and tenants alike may be unaware of the problem until it is reported to the city and the enforcement division takes action. treni Wescott, a code enforcement officer, said the city notified landlords by mail and gave them 30 days to comply. Wescott said many renters misunderstood the code, thinking that if two of the persons in their home were related, they were in compliance. In fact, the code dictates that four or more persons living together must all be related. Tenants can check the zoning of a rental property by searching the address on the city's interactive map, or contact the city's code enforcement division for more information.

The city's 2011 Citizen Survey gathered feedback from residents about 14 areas of city services, including customer service, public safety, parks and recreation, public works and transportation. More than 75 percent of those surveyed reported that they were satisfied with with services provided by the police and fire departments and with city parks and wastewater treatment. However, fewer than 50 percent were satisfied with the condition of neighborhood streets and major avenues. The survey was conducted by the ETC Institute, which randomly surveyed more than 1,300 Lawrence households. Overall satisfaction with city services increased from 72 percent in 2007 to 76 this year, an uptick that runs counter to national and regional trends. On average as municipalities across the country, including Kansas City, Mo., saw a drop in resident approval in similar surveys. Among all city services, trash removal envolved the highest rate of approval with 99% percent. The lowest rating was given to timeliness of street maintenance, with 29 percent Megan Gilliard, the communications manager for Lawrence, said city officials shared residents' concerns about the condition of the streets, and several projects were underway to improve them. She said these projects included work on Kasold Street, Sixth Street, and the Kansas River Bridge. Gillard said the city spends $5 million every year on street maintenance and performed more than 16,000 repairs on potholes last year. Some of the changes in public perception reported in the survey can't be directly tied to changes in city service. For example, the survey said that residents reported significantly more satisfaction with the appearance and safety of downtown Lawrence, the city's preparation for emergencies, and management of traffic congestion, as compared with 2007. Gilliard said it wasn't possible to identify exactly what actions by the city might have improved their ratings in these areas. Conversely, residents reported less satisfaction with the hours kept by downtown businesses.

Currently, 34 countries have State Department travel warnings. MATTHEW GALLOWAY editor@kansan.com Sue Lorenz, the director of the study abroad program, has a map of the world painted on a wall in her office. Since she took her position two years ago, she has often looked at the map and counted the number of countries within social or environmental chaos to which the University of Kansas is barred from sending students. The University prohibits the study abroad program from sending any undergraduate students to countries with travel warnings issued by the U.S. State Department.. However, Lorenz said her department is discussing the creation of a committee to explore changing the university policy. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN studies, said. "There are movements and other kinds of things happening around the world that cause us various problems," Lorenz said. The current policy applies not only to the study abroad program but to several other traveling entities at the college. It is designed to put safety first in every conceivable situation. Graduate students and faculty can petition to have exceptions issued in certain situations, but those occurrences are rare. "Traditionally, the precedent is that we do not send students to countries where there are State Department advisories, period." Hodgie Bricke, assistant vice provost of international When a tsunami hit eastern Japan on March 11, the State Department issued a travel warning that applied to the entire country. Following university policy, the study abroad program moved to withdraw all KU students from the country, even those far from the area of impact. Shortly after the students were ordered to flee Japan, the State Department lifted the travel warning. The ordeal in Japan spurred the study abroad program's desire to examine the University's wide-sweeping policy, Lorenz said. The committee would not operate out of the study abroad office, Lorenz said, and it would be composed of upper administration officials, legal experts and faculty members with a familiarity of some of the troubled countries currently barred. Under the new proposal, a committee would be asked to review a situation and decide the best course of action. Any officials on the committee must be willing to meet on a moment's notice, Lorenz said. "The policy is pretty direct in what it says right now," Lorenz said. "There is some discussion about whether the University's upper administration should decide whether they should implement a more complex policy that might allow for sections when dealing with undergraduate students." Thirty-four countries are on the State Department's travel warnings list, including Mexico. The study abroad program suspended its partnership with Puebla, Mexico, last summer even though the areas most affected by the drug cartels are much further north, Lorenz said. Under a ground political situation that might develop or intensify over time, it's something that is right there," Lorenz said. "They would have to act very quickly in a situation like we had in Japan, because it isn't an on-the- Students studying abroad who do not adhere to evacuation requests must withdraw from school. "In terms of emergency work, we will do that when we need to do that," Lorenz said. "But we want to reduce the chances that something other than the daily thing like a sprained ankle or a broken arm will happen to you, because those things are very difficult to deal with. We want to maintain the minimal risk and the most efficiency in helping students." There is a certain comfort level in trusting State Department declarations, Lorenz said. "It's a decent thing to pin to," Lorenz said. "They tend not to act precipitously and without investigation." COUNTRIES WITH STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL WARNINGS The State Department issues travel warnings to recommend that Americans avoid the risks and dangerous conditions in that country.

CHRISTY NUTT editor@kansan.com With the national unemployment rate hovering around 9.1 percent, finding a job after graduating can be a daunting experience. But not for Derek Kauffman. He started his job as morning producer of KTTC-TV News in Rochester, Minn., one week after graduating in May. Kauffman said whenever he had down time during his final semester he updated his electronic portfolio so employers could see his work. A little luck, a lot of confidence and persistence got him hired, he said. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Donna Johnson, CEO of Pinnacle Technology, Inc., 2721 Oregon St., said the cover letter is the selling point. After more than 30 years of hiring, Johnson said only 1 in 100 cover letters she receives are addressed to a person and the company. Making the resume interesting and accessible to prospective employers is most important, Kauffman said. Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center, said every employer has a different opinion about what makes a good resume. Resumes should include the basic information the employer is looking for in a clear way and describe your experiences in details that highlight your skills, Hartley said. "Make your cover letter targeted specifically to the company," Johnson said. "It is the little things like this that set you apart." Hartley said networking is essential to separating yourself from the pack of applicants. "You're not going to get anybody to look at your resume or call you for an interview if you don't somehow make a connection with them." Hartley said. An easy way for students to make a personal connection with employers is to attend campus events involving potential employers, Hartley said. "Take advantage of any kind of career event where you can go and in hear a speaker and possibly meet them or you can go and listen to a panel of employers and then make some contact with them, or the career fair is the obvious one." Hartley said. Mark Stogalld, vice president of HMA Architects, 200 Wesa Way. said getting involved helps students network. "Put yourself in situations where you might run into a job opportunity," Stogsdill said. Johnson said being formal is not just dressing well to the interview but also making your voice mail message appropriate, keeping e-mails professional and cleaning up your social network sites. Many employers, including Johnson, look at candidate's social networking sites. "In a business setting, e-mail is very formal, but people forget this," Johnson said. "If you're not embarrassed to have you mom or dad look at it, you're probably OK." Hartley said. Also, don't volunteer information about yourself unless the employer asks, Hartley said. Walk into the interview prepared with extra copies of your resume, sample material and knowledge of "Just stick to their agenda," she said. the company, Johnson said. The career center offers most interviews to help students practice for the real thing. The practice interview is recorded with a webcam so the student can watch his or her performance afterward. If students are nervous they might not notice they are being fidgety, but seeing it on the webcam they can fix it, the Career Center's Hartley said. Many employers want specific examples to prove you have the required skill set. Students should think of examples that would be appropriate to use before going into the interview, Hartley said. positive way," Hartlev said.

You have got to be engaging." she said. The interview is only one step in the hiring process. Hiring can take weeks or even months. Reminding employers that you are still interested in the job can separate you from the pack. "Unless you get a 'hell no' it is OK to occasionally inquire about the same job," HMA Architects' Stogsdill said. If a job opening does become available and someone has asked numerous times about it, employers can't help but think of them, Stogs-dill said. Graduate Kauffman said he was persistent at calling to check on his application status because he really wanted a chance to get the job. "The best advice I can give is don't give up. You can always improve." Kauffman said.

The law went into effect on July 1. Find out more about this story on Kansan.com. A new statewide law changing punishments for driving under the influence went into effect July 1. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Defense attorney Brian Leininger said that there are two major changes to the law. Under the new law, all DUI offenders will be required to install an ignition interlock device in their vehicle for a year. The offender will bear all costs associated with the ignition interlock device. driving with an ignition interlock Another change includes how far the state can look into an offender's background. Previously, the state would look at a person's entire record. After the law goes into effect, the state can only go back as far as 2001. Nothing before that will be used against an offender. Jay Norton, an attorney from Kansas City, said if a driver tests as having blood alcohol content between .08 and .15, he or she will be required to serve a 30-day suspension of license, followed by 180 days or six months of Ignition interlocks may be mandated for other sentences, including: open container, minor in possession or consumption and habitual violator statute. Those convicted of any of these will have to serve 45 days of the suspension first, then the Department of Revenue will reinstate the license and they will use the interlock. "If you do get pulled over, if you're really drunk and have prior offense, I would tell them not to take the breath test," he said. Interlock devices are sold through private companies. Smartstartinc.com has a different installation price for each state. For Kansas, the installation fee and first-month lease is $123 and after that, $73 a month. There is a $35 fee to uninstall your device. One year using the device would cost $961. Bill Laralere, the University's chief litigation attorney, said that this is actually a good thing. Under the present law, if you have been convicted of a DUI, your license is suspended for a year and you can't operate a vehicle at all. Under the new law, one can drive as long as they have the ignition interlock device, he said. A huge change in the bill is that state DUI records are being expunged — or swept clean — after 10 years, Larzalere said. Norton said DUI convictions and diversions before July 1, 2001, do not count as previous convictions. Larzalere said that he would advise students to not drink and drive at all but if they find themselves in the situation, to not incriminate themselves. The less that's in the report the less they have to convict you, he said. he pulled them over for whatever reason. Take the Breathalyzer at the station; however, the police officer is required to give you two forms to read and sign. When you are pulled over, the police can't make students take the field sobriety test, Lazalere said. He would encourage students not take the field test. However, refusing the Breathalyzer is a crime. If they have not said anything, did not take a field test, etc. the officer has no report on them besides that "Don't say I've only had two beers," Larzalere said. "Students who came in they were using the old forms, and if they used the old forms and not the new ones then that breath test isn't valid," Larzalee said. The forms are called DC27 and DC70. When students fill out the DC27 they have 10 days to request a hearing. Of course, the best rule is to not drink and drive. Always have a designated driver or call SafeRide at 785-864-4644.

AUGUST 18, 2011 PAGE 19 SAFETY Campus still needs emergency phones KYLIE NUTT editor@kansan.com Seventy-eight tall poles with a yellow box and red button that read "emergency phone" are located throughout campus as safety devices. The emergency phones are located in high-traffic areas for emergency and non-emergency use, in case someone needs urgent help or simply directions or information. The phones are easy to locate at night because they light-up blue at the top of the pole. "Just like in a big classroom you should locate the exits," said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of KU's public safety office. "You should do the same thing with emergency phones." In the 1970s, college campuses across the nation were installing emergency phones for safety purposes, and the University followed in the same footsteps. There were not many evening classes at the University at the time, buildings usually closed around 5 p.m. and cell phones were not common, Bailey said. Emergency phones were an easy way for people to contact the police when they need help. Each phone cost around $780 when they were first installed, but phones that were later installed cost more, Bailey said. If you are in an emergency or simply need information, locate an emergency phone and let dispatch know what you need. Dispatch will answer the call by saying something similar to "9-1-1 dispatch, how may I help you or what is your emergency?" The person at the other end of the line will explain the situation and send an officer if needed. Ashleigh Merritt, a junior from Goddard, said she would try to locate an emergency phone first because it would take too long to make a phone call. phones for emergency purposes, and are used mainly for the purpose of information. Andrew Genova, a junior from St. Louis, agrees with Merritt about locating an emergency phone, but said he has not noticed many where he walks. Cell phones have decreased the usage of emergency The KU Office of Public Safety receives less than an average of 175 calls a year. Each phone costs $20 a month, costing $18,720 for 78 emergency phones a year. This money comes out of the department's budget, but some are paid by different departments, such as housing, if they are close-by. "It's a nice visual tool in the overall package of security." Although the emergency phones are not used as often as they have SGT. SCHUYLER BAILEY KU Office of Public Safety been in the past, they will remain where they are and in service in case there ever is an emergency. The last emergency phones added are at the Park and Ride lot on west campus, but no more will be added "It's a nice visual tool in the over- all package of security," Bailey said. "If you see that blue light, you know if I had too, I could call the police." --- MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Emergency phones can be distinguished by a yellow box, a red button, and the top of the pole that lights up blue.

Perhaps even more surprising than the record 255 tickets the employee has received is the number of appeals they have filed: zero. Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, did not reveal the employee's name but said the situation was one of the strangest in her 30 years with Parking and Transit. "It's boggling to me as to why they would spend almost $5,000," Hultine said. "Plus, the permit that they buy is $230 a year. It doesn't make any sense to me." The employee is not tenured enough to buy a permit closer to their building's entrance, Hultine said. A ticket can be appealed within 10 business days. From there, the Court of Parking Appeals, also referred to as "Traffic Court," determines the validity of the claim. In the last two completed fiscal years, fined drivers filed a total of 2,165 appeals. Of those submissions, 737 were granted, or slightly more than 34 percent. The department collected $1,539,448 in ticket revenue for the two-year period, which it used partially to repair campus roads and parking lots. In some situations, Parking and Transit will void a ticket before it reaches the appeals process, Hultine said.

"it's a court of equity, not really a court of law," Hutine said. "The court looks at extenuating circumstances" If a situation is out of a ticketed driver's control, such as a vehicle breakdown or a sudden illness, the appeal is likely to be granted. Hul- tine said. However, Hultine said not all of the appeals filed are exactly reasonable. "There was a student who wrote that she had a yellow permit and she thought that meant she could park on a yellow curb," Hultine said. "[Other examples] escape me right now.

August 1 all fines increased by at least $5. "It is already expensive, but maybe they are putting it to a good cause," Jenna Domann, a junior from Nortonville said. The additional money generated from the increase will go into the regular parking department's budget that pays for a variety of areas from wages to parking lot maintenance. The parking department wants to have extra funds for a long term plan to fix needed maintenance and repairs, said Donna Hultine, parking department director. "If we don't put the money in now we're going to end up completely rebuilding parking lots," she said. The parking department estimates that the increase in fines will bring in nearly $100,000 more in revenue. Hultine said there is a sense of urgency for the increase because there are locations on campus with crumbling asphalt. "It is hard to charge people money to park there when it's in bad shape," Hultine said. Fines that will increase by only $5 include expired meters, wrong zone tickets and no valid permit. Fines for other offenses will increase more. Hultine said fines for more serious violations, like safety violations, will also increase more than $5. The ticket for blocking a fire lane will increase by $35. A ticket for wrongfully parking in a handicapped spot will increase by $50 The fee for forged, altered or stolen parking permits will receive the most severe increase. Starting next year the cost of a permit that was forged, altered or stolen will be a $100 fine. This will make the fine for a forged gold permit $385, $100 for the fine and $285 for the cost of the permit. Since August, the department issued 20 tickets for forged permits, said Margretta de Vries, parking commission's secretary. The increase in fines has been in budget talk for a while, Hultine said. The parking commissions first considered an increase for parking permits. An increase in the price of parking permits would provide the bigget impact because they provide the largest part of our revenue, Hultine said. The parking commission decided not to increase the price of permits because of the anticipated reaction. "As we were going forward, administration was saying, 'I_don't think that is going to be supported," Hultine said. The fine increase was first proposed in a budget by the parking commission and then approved by the provost, de Vries said. The last across-the-board increase was in 1997 when the parking department increased all fines by $5, de Vries said.

Lawrence had over six inches of snow Wednesday night, which many student took advantage of by sliding on the hill. KANSAN FILE PHOTO MONISHA BRUNER editor@kansan.com Many come to campus with eye wide open, excited about the newfound freedom they have just embraced. So many people to meet, so many places to go, but where do you start? The University of Kansas and the Lawrence community have several hot spots you should definitely visit before you graduate. Let's call this your campus bucket list. LIVE ON CAMPUS Kate Duffey, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., said, "Living on campus gave me a great opportunity to meet a bunch of new people and even more opportunities to torture my RA." Security is a priority. Residents must scan their identification card to enter the building. Student who live on campus also receive better grades and are more likely to graduate in four years, according to housing.ku.edu. EAT AT MRS. E'S Ekdahl Dining Commons is located atop Daisy Hill. Mrs. E's is set up as a buffet. According to ku.edu. Mrs. E's offers, "Specialized items such as pasta, salads, sandwiches, a pizzeria, and a grill. CAMP OUT Getting in to basketball games is tough, but it is easier when you have a camping group. Camping starts at 6 a.m. after each game, said J.D. Loudabarger, assistant athletics director, event services. Camping is from six a.m. to 10 p.m. and you always need someone in attendance. Anyone at any time can do role call and drop you off the list if no one is in attendance. Three hours before the game is the final role call and there can be a total of 15 people in the group and they can save spots for 15 others. "I camped out a couple of times a week before game day. It's a great time to have fun and meet people," said Ashleigh Merritt a junior from Goddard. PUT A DOLLAR ON JEFFERSON'S WALL The legend is that when the original Jefferson's opened in Jacksonville, Ala. a dear friend to the owners signed a dollar and placed it on the wall behind the bat. Then another friend wanted to leave the first tip, so he signed the dollar with a magic marker and placed it beside the other. From there it took off and continues to grow everyday. People from all over the world have left their mark. Jefferson's estimates about six to seven thousand dollars on the wall, but no one has every counted said Brooke Pearce, Jefferson's manager. The Lawrence Jefferson's restaurant is located at 743 Massachusetts St. GO SLEDDING ON CAMPUS Campus has several hills to sled on. There is a steep hill behind Ellsworth Hall, behind Joseph R. Pearson, and the hills around the Campanile. JOIN CLUBS/ OR GREEK LIFE ATTEND ALL ATHLETIC EVENTS An all sports combo for a KU student is $150. This is a steal. You can go to all the sporting events for this price. Basketball games are played at Allen Fieldhouse, named in honor for the late Dr. F.C. "Phog" Allen, the Jayhawks' head coach for 39 years. "I would tell people to go to a football game, it's fun. Just make sure to wear a lot of sunscreen." Andrew Genova, a junior from St. Louis, said. dents should get involved for leadership, self-awareness, connections, problem solving, diversity, and civic engagement. Sushu Wang, a senior from Manhattan, is a member of Student Union Activities. "Getting and staying involved is important, since it's hands on experience of low to cooperate within a diverse group," Wang said.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN Distance from Lawrence: 198 miles Estimated time of drive: 3 hours 16 minutes Visitors may think they are witnessing a mirage in the fields of udk Back to School Blowout 1 FILL OUT 2 DROP OFF 3 COME PARTY North- Central Kansas when they stumble upon the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was originally the home of Samuel Perry Dinsmoor, a school teacher and civil war veteran. Dinsmoor was deeply affected and troubled by his experiences during the war. To express himself Dinsmoor began sculpting cement art on and around his Lucas, Kansas home. Twenty-two years and 113 tons of cement later Dinmoor passed away and left his Garden of Eden as his legacy. ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE TOUR Take a trip back in time and see where students of yesteryear went to receive an education. One room school houses pepper the Kansas landscape. Art Davis runs the blog Kansas One Room Schools. Davis said some of the best school houses are less than an hour drive from Distance and travel times vary. Lawrence. For more information on the locations of these historic sites of education visit Davis' blog at kansasoneroomschools.blogspot.com HUTCHINSON Distance from Lawrence: 186 miles Estimated time of drive: 3 hours 19 minutes Hutchinson is home to many road-trip worthy sites. The nationally known Cosmosphere, the Kansas State Fair and a thriving Mennonite community all reside in Hutchinson. The Cosmosphere is an interactive museum and state of the art IMAX venue dedicated to space exploration. The Kansas State fair takes place every year in September. This year the fair runs from September 9 to the 18th. While you are in Hutchinson be sure to take a trip back in time to the regional Mennonite community. One of the Mennonite's hidden talents is their ability to fry some of the world's best chicken. Be sure to stop at Carriage Crossing for a down home lunch, you may have to take a nap before driving back to Lawrence. STULL: THE GATEWAY TO HELL Distance from Lawrence: 12 miles Estimated time of drive: 27 min We started our journey in the Garden of Eden in Lucas, KS. So it is fitting to end the tour of Kansas at the Gates of Hell. Stull, KS is famous amongst the occult, conspiracy theorists and ghost hunters across the world. Stull's community church has been the subject of folklore for decades. It is believed that a set of stair located outside the church which go down to seemingly nothing are in fact one of the seven gateways to hell. The church was demolished more than 10 years ago to dissuade the curious from visiting the site. Over $5,000 in Prizes!

MATT GALLOWAY editor@kansan.com Other than the infrequent, inconsiderate and soon-to-be-deaf student blasting their headphones, campus libraries can be an excellent place to concentrate and study. Located far away from the dichic annoying roommate, there are three libraries all incoming University of Kansas students should know about: Anschutz, Spencer and Watson. Located in a triangle around Wescoe Hall, each library can be a source of refuge come finals week. Here is what each bring to the table: ANBCHUTZ ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY Located west of Wescoe, Anschutz is a student's best bet to get online. Both the first and second floors have numerous computers open to students, but beware: the easiest way for one to get the evil eye is to check their Facebook when the building is packed. The first floor is also where many of the sociology students conduct their student surveys. SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Home to the university archives, the Spencer Research Library is located north of Wesco behind Strong Hall. The records contain the official papers of chancellors, information on student and faculty activities and select publications and papers of alumni and faculty, according to the library website. WATSON LIBRARY Notorious for its slow computers, Watson is located east of Wescoe and Indiana St. Watson opened in 1924 and is the premier place for students looking to check out books. The extensive collection features books on social sciences, humanities, education, journalism and social welfare, according to the library website. Anschutz library is a student's best bet to get online, but don't waste time on Facebook when the building is packed. Other libraries include the Spahr Engineering Library and the Wheat Law Library, but most underclassmen will not need to step foot in these buildings until they enter their chosen schools. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN HEALTH Stop "freshman 15" with common sense LAURA ERDALL editor@kansan.com It's that first year at college. For many freshman, that year consists of keg parties and ordering pizza in the wee hours of the night. But all the fun seems to stop once you come home for Thanksgiving break and notice that the quarterback from your former high school has a beer belly, or the prom queen has thunder thighs. It's within that first year at college when students may deal with putting on a few extra pounds, or what is also known as the "freshman 15." Staci Hendrickson, a dietitian at Healthy Balance, Inc., a nutrition therapy business in Lawrence, said that freshman can avoid the dreaded "freshman 15" by maintaining a regular eating schedule. "It's important to eat every three to four hours and you should never skip meals because that slows down your metabolism," Hendrickson said. College offers many temptations. Whether it may be piling on the por- ruions in the dining hall or indulging in sugary snacks to stay awake for late-night study sessions, students need to realize that whatever they eat, healthy or not, it's important to eat slow. "People need to pay attention as to when they start getting full," Hendrickson said. "Don't rush through a meal because if you override it, that will lead to weight gain." If fruits and veggies aren't for you, unbuttered popcorn is a nice alternative, said Hendrickson. "It's good for you because it's high in fiber and very filling," Hendrickson said. "Three cups of unbuttered popcorn adds up to only 80 calories." According to Hendrickson, a well-balanced meal consists of some kind of carbohydrate, lean protein, and fruits or vegetables. It's also important to eat breakfast every day. Even little portions like a slice of toast or a bowl of cereal is good because breakfast increases a person's cognitive performance.

Gray-Little is entering her third year at Kansas and seems optimistic about the future for the university. Gray-Little How are things going? Are you making the progress that you hoped you would have so far? "Things are going well. I'll start my third year on Aug. 15. During the last two years we've started a number of programs and initiatives that I think we're making really good progress on. So, yes I am pleased with the progress we're making." What do you think the biggest challenge has been so far? "This is a time where we have limited resources or fewer resources, even in some instances than in the past, and yet it's also very important to make progress. So, the challenge is how do you do something and do something better when you have the same or fewer resources than you did before? In a general way that's the challenge and I can give you an example. We have not, at the Lawrence campus for example, hired faculty at the same rate that we did in the past and yet we're trying to not only maintain outstanding teaching, but raise the productivity of the university in terms of faculty research and scholarship. That's sort of hard to do when you have fewer people. So that's the kind of challenge that we face." Has anything surprised you during your first two years? "Sometimes I say that I've been surprised by some of the programs and the quality of some of the programs that I just didn't know about such as the School of Music program, which is really outstanding." Can you talk about the Strategic Plan and the purpose of the plan? "The Strategic Plan for the university is an effort to take stock of where you are as a university and where you should be investing. There are many things that go on at the university, whether it's the Lawrence campus or the Medical Center, and many of those things have been going well for years. Many of them are just continuous so the goal is to say, well it is this really doing well enough that we should continue investing in it? Should we move our resources and invest in something else? Is there something new that we haven't been doing that we want to try? In the case of this, is not so much a part of the planning effort, but one of the things we'll be working on is a curriculum revision for the undergraduate curriculum. The There are some new members to the Board of Regents. Does that change the dimension of what you are trying to accomplish here? "I don't know that it changes internal things that we're trying to do very much and I have not had interactions "I think our new enrollment of students for this year is not down. The overall enrollment we'll see how that turns out." curriculum hasn't been changed in a comprehensive way for more than two decades. So, we're looking at does our curriculum have the right content? Is it structured in the right way? What kind of things we should be doing? So in accessing where we are, what changes need to be made and to make sure that we put our energy into making the changes and moving in the direction we need to move in. That's true for planning wherever it occurs." BERNADETTE GRAY-LITTLE chancellor with the new board members, as regents. I've met two of them and will meet the third soon, but I haven't seen what they will be like as regents. I'm looking forward to having them on the board." increasing and enrollment numbers where they are, what initiatives are being taken? "I think our new enrollment of students for this year is not down. The overall enrollment we'll see how that turns out. It may not be very much change, but I think that in this time and in this region enrollment is a challenge because the population is not growing. I think over the next several years most of the universities in our area will be looking at enrollment and what is the right size and the appropriate programs. So, that is something we will continually assess. With regards to tuition, the tuition increases are natural anyway because things go up. But, I think our tuition increase here certainly had been influenced directly or indirectly by some of the cuts in state funding and as we lose resources in one area we have to look for them in terms of tuition and in terms of fundraising and raise the other sources that we use to get resources offered by the programs I mentioned before. It goes back to the fundamental issue that I mentioned before of how to gather resources you need to do things and to do them better. Occasionally, you can do better with less, but it is a pretty hard thing to do. Usually you need the same or more funding." "I think it's going to be very exciting. We will have made progress on getting the broad outlines of the overall strategic plan.

Students and faculty can rent equipment for camping, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and Frisbee golf through the Outdoor Pursuits program. The rock climbing wall is also part of the program. Groups can also get active outside while developing skills as a team at the Adams Campus Outdoor Education Center. Outdoor Pursuits doesn't provide the type of workout you will get on a treadmill, but it lets students relieve stress by getting outside and exercising in a cost effective way, said Mike Dickey, assistant director of the program. The program makes expensive items like tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, kayaks, canoes and even propane stoves available for students and faculty to rent. CHRIS BRONSON /KANSAN "It's nice to have the option to rent equipment at an affordable cost," Ben Fishman, a senior from Overland Park, said. "Somebody who wants to try it out for the first time can come and rent a backpack and go backpacking. The Outdoor Pursuits staff asks students to return the equipment in the same condition they rented it in. Students can get hit with a $15 cleaning fee if equipment is returned dirty. Hartman said, many students avoid paying the cleaning fee by using hoses, drains and rags that the program provides at its office before returning the rented gear. "The equipment is really nice and kept in good condition," Fishman said. 10 Although the 42-foot-climbing-wall is indoors, it is still considered part of the Outdoor Pursuits program. somewhere or they can rent a cane and if they like it enough to get involved they can go down to Sunflower (Outdoor and Bike Shop) and purchase stuff" Dickey said. To rent equipment, students must make a reservation in person and pay in full at that time. Students have to be current members of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center to rent equipment. Students who want to rent but aren't enrolled in summer classes must purchase a summer membership. "It's nice to have the option to rent equipment at an affordable cost. A two-person tent costs $3 per day or $9 per week, and tents and canoes are the most popular items for students to rent, Dickey said. Dickey said students don't need a friend with them to try the wall and that the Outdoor Pursuits staff does a good job of making the experience relaxed and fun. "Those who are taking classes in the summer are paying a fee for it," Dickey said. BEN FISHMAN SENIOR FROM OVERLAND PARK "People don't try the climbing wall because they are intimidated to try something so different by themselves, but they shouldn't be. The staff will take care of everything," Hartman said. The Outdoor Pursuits program makes it easy for students to get outside. A two-person tent costs $3 per day or $9 per week to rent.

AUGUST 18, 2011 PAGE 27 MONEY Bookstore may actually help save money A The staff at the KU Bookstore, pictured here from within its Memorial Union location, help students find and purchase textbooks. CHRISTY NUTT editor@kansan.com The staff at the KU Bookstore wants students to get the best materials at the lowest price, even if it means that students purchase their books from a different company. "At the end of the day, we want students to feel good about their purchase," said Estella McCollum, KU Bookstore director. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN The KU Bookstore added a price comparison tool to its website last summer. The tool allows students to compare the price of new, used and rentable textbooks from KU Bookstore, Amazon and Half Price Books. Students can purchase from any of the three companies on the KU Bookstore's website. "We did this to build trust. We want to be honest with students and understand there are many different options out there," McCollum said. said. The tool also helps the KU Bookstore set competitive prices. Staff at the KU Bookstore saw an increase in sales since they began the price comparison, McCollum McCollum said the bookstore gets a small commission from purchases made with Amazon and Half from its website. "We know where to increase prices to make up for lost profits," McCollum said. The KU Bookstore also offers textbook rental. The amount saved by renting is different for every book, but generally is around 50 percent off of the new retail price, McCollum said. "Renting is not necessarily solving the price issue of textbooks," McCollum said. "It is usually a better deal for students to buy the book used and sell it back at the end of the semester," McCollum said. Renting can be a good option for students that don't have the money upfront to purchase the book used. that the other companies don't McCollum said the bookstore has a responsibility to provide the correct material and if there is a problem it will make it right. The bookstore does not take responsibility for returns or exchanges made through the other companies. Renting is ideal when the edition is not going to be used again because the book will have little to no buyback value at the end of the semester, McCollum said. However, students don't always know when an edition is going to be replaced. Although the KU Bookstore assists students to purchase books from other companies, the bookstore has a commitment to students "We are the official bookstore for the University, so we do whatever we can to work with students to make sure they get the books they need," McCollum said. CAMPUS Tutoring, other help, can make transition easier MONISHA BRUNER mbruner@kansan.com As incoming freshmen, information can all be thrown at you at one time. The University's campus has several services to help you during your college years. Many services are free or cost students very little. Besides services, there are places and tips that will help you navigate college life. If you are having trouble or need additional help in a class, tutoring services offers three hours of tutoring a week for the entire year. They provide tutors for more than 50 classes. The cost is $75 dollars; however, the office allows students to apply for a partial fee waiver if you have filled out the FAFSA. Classes at the reduced rate is $15. Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the academic achievement access center, said in an email, "The thing that I am really proud of is that we have students who use the services when they are freshman and sophomores, and then they become tutors. The important thing is tutoring is not just for people who are in danger of failing, there can be people who just want to get the best grade, do their best and be sure they understand the information and then they can become tutors." Rasnak said that it plans on serving more than 1,000 students this year. The tutoring service is located in Strong Hall. Writing a paper can be difficult and having an extra pair of eyes always helps. The University offers free writing assistance with the KU Writing Center. Martha Jerrim, assistant director of KU Writing Center, said the center saw 6,416 total consultations with writers for the 2010-2011 school year. Nine hundred of those were online. "Having another pair of eyes to look at your work can be beneficial to your writing. It can be anything from brainstorming ideas to a final polish on citations or anything in between that's what consultants are here to help with." Jerrim said. If you need help editing your paper, making sure ideas flow in place, or just some feedback the writing center is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and located in Anschutz Library. They also read and edit papers online. The University has a team to help manage your money. You don't have to make an appointment, but they recommend that you do. The Money Management office is located at 300-B in the Kansas Union. The Office of Student Financial Aid has a priority date of March 1 to turn in FAFSA. You can submit your FAFSA after that, but people who submit by March 1 have priority on those who don't. You can begin to fill out your FAFSA every year on January 1. There are some situations that can change your priority. To find out where you stand, make an appointment with the Financial Aid office. It's hard not to want to live up the summer at the pool all day, but you might want to consider looking for internships. Erin Wolfram, the assistant director of the University Career Center, said in an email that there are several benefits to having internships: One thing most learn after they have enrolled in class is that Fraser and JRP are not next to each other. If you schedule ten minutes to get from one class to the other make sure you know where each building is located. -They can build their network and learn more about career opportunities and gain contacts for their future job search. - They can build transferable skills that will be valuable in any career they pursue. - They can add valuable experience to their resume that will make them more marketable in their future job search and have experiences to draw from in interviews. There is a system called KU Career Connections. Employers will contact the careers centers on campus and let them know that they have internship opportunities. All internships will be posted for free in the KU Career Connections system. There are four different career center offices on campus. The University Career Center is located in room 110 Burge Union and open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Prepping lunches off-campus saves dough KYLIE NUTT editor@kansan.com As the summer semester begins and food prices remain high, one way to save money may be to avoidbuying food on campus. Soda, bottled water, salads, cookies, chips, granola bars and iced coffee were compared in on-campus dining locations and an off-campus grocery store, the Dillons at 4701 When buying items at a grocery store, it's best to buy in bulk to get the most for your money. Instead of buying one 20-ounce Coca-Cola bottle on campus for $1.26 in the Underground or $1.25 in a vending machine, it's cheaper to buy a six pack of 24 ounce Coca-Cola bottles for $4.69. In the end, you will be spending an average of 78 cents per bottle plus tax, and gaining 4 more ounces. West 6th St. Some students are finding this to be the better route. Luke Underwood, a senior from Overland Park, has been buying a soda, pizza and breadsticks from Pizza Hut on campus for lunch so far this summer. He realized he is paying about $15 a week for two lunches. "But really the cheapest is just making your own salads and stuff like that, and just bringing it up to school," Underwood said. Tunde Bakare, a junior from Woodbridge, Virginia, agreed with Underwood. Bakare spends about $9 three times a week for on-campus lunches. Because this summer is Bakare's first semester on campus, he found out fast he will be spending about $27 a week or $216 for 24 lunches for eight weeks during the summer. While some students prefer to save money by buying food off campus, others don't mind paying the price for convenience. Quentin Chediak, a sophomore from Topeka, goes to the Underground about once a week to buy a coffee at the Pulse coffee shop and a sandwich from Brellas Sandwich Crafters. Chediak watches what he spends at the Underground and tries to eat at Mrs. E's when he has more time in between classes because his meal plan there has been paid for already.

Diners might be surprised, however, to know how unhealthy some of the most popular menu items are. "Mindless eating, or eating without planning ahead or knowing what you're eating causes a lot of unexpected and unwanted weight gain," Ann Chapman, a registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said. CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN SANDWICH According to the American Dietetic Association, a healthy daily diet should include calories from protein, fat and carbohydrates.

The sun is high and a smattering of clouds offer minimal shade for the swimmers and synbathers around the pool at Tuckaway apartment complex, 2600 West 6th St. Kelly Flynn and Kate Johnson, both seniors, wade in the pool for their daily post-class ritual — working on their tans. In spite of years of data demonstrating the correlation between skin cancer and sun exposure, vanity trumps caution. Johnson agreed. "This sounds horrible, but I would rather look good now than worry about a possibility of cancer way in the future," Flynn said. "It's that whole being young, dumb and having an invincible mindset," she said. That mindset may be common, but the Food and Drug Administration is making it easier than ever to see the dangers in sun exposure by changing the language of sunscreen. Reynold Tan, an interdisciplinary scientist at the FDA, said he hoped the newly announced standards for sunscreen labeling would better educate the public about the importance of skin protection. CLEARLY ABOVE THE SWIMMING POOL. "There are a lot of words used in sunscreen marketing that have been redefined," Tan said. "And the language companies use to market their products is going to come under greater scrutiny." Newly prohibited marketing words include sunblock, waterproof, sweatproof and any SPF above 50. "Sunblock" implies that a person is completely protected from harmful rays. That simply will never be the case," Tan said. Rather than hailing a product as waterproof or sweatproof, sunscreens must be labeled water- or sweat-resistant and the amount of time the product lasts must be listed next to the claim of resistance. No product can claim to last for more than two hours. Currently, the term broad-spectrum can be found on many sunscreens. Kelly Flynn's tanning habits of using low-SPF sunscreen are dangerous, according to FDA standards. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Experience International Award Winning Kansas Wines!

Only broad-spectrum sunscreens aid in cancer and premature aging risk reduction. Flynn and Johnson had brought three different sunscreens ranging from SPF 4 to 15 to the pool with them. Flynn only uses sunscreen if she is burnt from the day before. "My main motivation is avoiding pain or a goofy tan" — it is less about the health benefits." Flynn said. This is not effective, Tan said. "Tanning oils or anything less than an SPF 15 will prevent burns only; they do not adequately protect the skin from the UVA and UVB rays," Tan said. Patty Quinlan, supervisor of nursing at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that, during her 24 years treating college students, she has seen serious burns from the sun. "Students come in with blisters all over their body. The pain is enormous," Quinlan said. In severe cases a person may feel nauseae, lightheaded, weak and feverish. Quinlan compared severe sunburns to burns sustained from curling irons or flames. "Sunburns are like any other burn. They cause cell necrosis," Quinlan said. Cell necrosis, the premature death of cells and living tissue, causes irreversible and long-lasting damage to the skin. Although skin cancer is relatively rare in people between 20 and 26, accounting for less than 1 percent of skin cancer cases, damage done during those years increases the risk of a cancer diagnosis later in life. Increasing rates of skin cancer and new information on the harmful effects of UVA rays recently prompted the FDA to act. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, about 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to UVA rays from the sun. Treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers increased by nearly 77 percent between 1992 and 2006. The FDA suggests people apply a liberal amount of sunscreen, which is about the size of a golf ball. They also recommend reapplying sunscreen every two hours. People should avoid extended exposure between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., wear long sleeves, hats and sunglasses. "These precautions should be taken every day all year round. Many people think they only need sunscreen while at the pool in the middle of August," Tan said. "That is not the case." While no one is exempt from the dangers of sun exposure, people with fair skin, a family history of cancer and high rates of exposure to the sun are the most at risk. Students such as Flynn and Johnson don't have to sacrifice their bronze glow for their health. Sunscreen still allows the skin to develop color. The process may be slower, but experts say it's better for your health. Over $5,000 in Prizes!

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 201 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BUSINESS Student-run cookie delivery service crumbles MATT GALLOWAY editor@kansan.com The Lucky You Bakery, a student-run cookie delivery service that opened in January and last operated in April, will not reopen. The service was barely breaking even when the three owners threw in the towel, said Jack Rafferty, one of the co-owners. The cookie has crumbled for Lawrence's late-night cookie delivery service. Rafferty, a senior from Shawnee, said caring for the business took a toll on him personally and academically. Bailey Olsen and graduate Will McCullough, paid $300 per month to rent the facility's kitchen every Thursday through Saturday night. "There are only so many hours in a certain week," Rafferty said. "If you have to commit so many to this project, then it's going to pull away from either your friendships or your study efforts. Something is going to suffer. For us, I'd say a lot of our friendships were strained." The bakery operated out of the Ecumenical Christian Ministry building just west of Memorial Stadium. Rafferty, along with fellow student The owners also paid $50 per night for a delivery driver, about $100 per week for ingredients and about $100 permonth in insurance, Rafferty said. To offset these costs, the bakery charged $12 for 13 cookies and $1.75 for a bottle of milk. None of the three owners had any prior experience running a business. In fact, Olsen was the only owner who even had any experience cooking. Knowing what he knows now, Rafferty said he would have waited until he graduated to open the bakery. "To risk harming your academic standing for a business venture, I wouldn't say it's foolish because we did it and we learned a lot," Rafferty said, "but it is at least partially ill-advised. I think it's a poor investment of your time until your graduate." Chill Out with a Friend Buy 1 Get 1 Free Large 24oz Frappe Ice Cremas or Ice Latte DUNN BROS COFFEE THE BOLD STANDARD" 1618 west 23rd 785 | 785.865.4211 Lucky You Bakery currently has 472 likes on Facebook and had about 300 followers on Twitter before the owners disabled the account. Many frequent customers were surprised when it was announced the bakery was halting production on April 28. "I don't think it surprised us because we had very loyal customers," Rafferty said. "So the problem wasn't delivering a good product and having someone order again. Our problem was that we weren't reaching enough people." Rafferty said he appreciated the outpouring of support from his most valued customers. The owners did not spend a single dollar in advertising. Instead, they relied on social media and word-of-mouth. Following a Feb. 10 article in The University Daily Kansan, the bakery reached its peak, averaging about $350 to $450 a night in sales, Rafferty said. If the bakery could have stayed open another six months or year, Rafferty said he feels it could have turned a corner. But given his course workload and Olsen's marriage this summer, he said the owners felt they would be unable to devote the amount of time to the bakery that it deserved. Not all student entrepreneurs agree with Rafferty on waiting until graduation to open shop. Samantha Stultz, a senior from Shawnee, operates her own marketing and web business called KC Media Team. After going broke at Missouri's William Jewell College, Stultz started KC Media Team in 2009 and has been able to pay her way back to school with the funds. In fact, she said she purchased her most recent car with cash. "I definitely feel like the company has helped me expand my marketing and my portfolio." Stultz said. "This has definitely helped me with money management, responsibility and personal skills. All around it was a good decision." Overall, the four-month endeavor called Lucky You Bakery is a bittersweet experience for Rafferty. He has not stepped foot in Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St., since April because he said he is sick of seeing it from the numerous late-night ingredient runs. "We weren't excited about closing," Rafferty said. "We didn't plan it. We never wanted to open this thing, build a fan base and then pull the rug out. But I think that, sometimes in life, things are out of your control."

The atmosphere in the hookah bar is filled with excitement. The room she sits in is decorated with antique hookah pipes and the blissful sound of Indian music rings through her eardrums as the mouthpiece is passed to her. She wraps her lips around the hookah pipe, filling her lungs to full capacity. When she finally exhales, lungs empty of the mint-tinted smoke. She lowers her body into her seat feeling relaxed and a slight buzz as she passes the hookah pipe to the next person. "I only do it once in awhile, so I enjoy it when I do, but I've heard that a single session of hookah smoking can equal up to the volume of smoking a lot of cigarettes," Connolly said. "But it is fun and relaxing and it doesn't leave a nasty taste in your mouth." "The myth that water filters out harmful chemicals in hookah isn't true," Richter said. "Even after it has passed through water, the hookah smoke still contains high levels of toxins, it doesn't filter out chemicals, just cools them." "The myth that water filters out harmful chemicals in hookah isn't true." The charcoal, which is placed at the head of the hookah pipe, is used to light and keep the tobacco burning during the smoking session. Kimber Richter, associate professor of preventive medicine, said that the charcoal produces high levels of carbon monoxide, which prevents a person from not getting enough oxygen, and therefore makes their heart work harder. The hookah is a water pipe used to smoke specially made tobacco that is available in a variety of flavors. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, this traditional smoking method originated in ancient Persia and India and has been used for centuries. However, in the last few decades, hookah smoking has become quite popular on college campuses across the United States. Many people believe hookah to be less dangerous than cigarette smoking, but experts say that hookah smoking has the same, if not more, harmful effects as cigarette smoking. Smoking sessions can last anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the situation. Edward Ellerbeck, chair of the department for medicine, said that hookah smoking delivers nicotine and is at least as dangerous as cigarette smoke, especially when it comes to secondhand smoke. KIMBER RICHTER associate professor of preventative medicine "Side strain smoke in hookah is a serious risk for nonsmokers because it contains smoke from both the tobacco and the charcoal," said Ellerbeck. There are just as many toxins in "During this nine-month study, babies tend to have lower birth rates and have a higher risk for different respiratory diseases," Richter said. hookah smoke as cigarette smoke but there have not been a lot of studies on the health effects of smoking hookah. However, there have been studies of babies born to women who smoked one or more water pipes a day during pregnancy. Sharing a hookah is also dangerous because it may increase the risk of transmitting certain diseases through the mouthpiece. The juice in the mouthpiece is very similar to chewing tobacco in that it gives the same exposure to oral cancers. "People don't realize how unsanitary hookah smoking really is," Richter said. "You don't know how well pipes are cleaned, so it's like you're doing hookah with everybody. It's the same concept as kissing a stranger or sharing the same spoon." Hookah can be incredibly addictive and deadly if it's used daily and for long periods of time. Hookah smoking can also be considered training wheels for cigarette smoking and the use of other tobacco forms. "If you don't want to take in toxins knowingly, you'll avoid smoking a lot of hookah," Richter said.

A recent project by the KU libraries that digitizes old maps makes this possible. The maps of downtown Lawrence, which are available on the library's website, are useful for people who grew up in Kansas or have Kansas roots. They can now compare the city or town when they were there to what it looks like today, said Sarah Kanning, communications coordinator for the libraries. "So, what we wind up with is this wonderful, historical set of information that shows how these towns grew," Kanning said. Last April, the libraries received a $30,000 grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to digitize the Sanborn map collection of 241 cities and towns in Kansas, Kanning said. The outsourced project took 11 months to digitize the map collection from 1883 to 1922. The 21.5-inch by 25.6-inch paper maps were transferred into a high-quality photograph for people to view online in order to help preserve the original copies, Kanning said. The Sandborn Map Company's intended purpose was for insurance companies across America to buy them so they would know what risks were involved with each building. The maps helped because they indicated what the buildings were made from, how many stories each building had, where the windows were and if there were sheds or outdoor buildings, Kanning said. "The unintended consequence was these beautiful very detailed historical maps that were done every four to five years," Kanning said. EARLY YEARS Almost thirty years after Lawrence was established, the first Sanborn map of the city was made in 1883. A map of the 700 block of Massachusetts Street shows the city was growing with grocery stores, dry goods, clothing stores, jewelers, confectioneries, bakeries, tailors, hardware stores and billiards. The street names running east to west that we know today as Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth streets and so on were once names of individuals, "distinguished for their Patriotism. Philanthropy, and Love of Liberty," according to the Pictorial History of Lawrence by David Dary. Seventh Street was Winthrop Street and Eighth Street was called Henry Street in the mid-1800s, when they were first named. Massachusetts Street is the widest street in the downtown commercial district, twenty-feet wider than the others, according to the Pictorial History of Lawrence. Over the years the stores have changed numerous times to keep the stores relevant with the consumers needs. Bob Schumm, vice mayor of Lawrence, and owner of Dynamite Saloon, 721 Massachusetts St., and Buffalo Bob's, 719 Massachusetts St., has lived in Lawrence since 1964 and has seen downtown Lawrence improve over the past forty-seven years. LATER YEARS In the late 1960s, Schumm opened his first business, the Bull and Boar at 9th and Vermont streets, behind Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St. At this time downtown was the center of commerce for the city, but shortly after, grocery stores and auto dealers began to move west to the suburbs, Schumm said.

The Jayhawker Bar and TEN at the Eldridge Hotel were an office and a barber shop in 1883. And the basement of the hotel was a popular hangout for college students before the sixties. The hotel lagged business and was converted into apartments in 1970 and was renovated into the hotel again in 1985.

The University of Kansas graduate is, after all, a baseball insider, even if he is only 25 years old. He has made himself an insider through the singular pursuit—as a citizen journalist—of one story: a messy Los Angeles divorce that opened up the Dodgers' books to public controversy and led to bankruptcy and Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's move to take over the team earlier this year. Fisher is the creator of Dodgerdivorce.com, a website devoted to the public distress of the Los Angeles Dodgers and its owners, Frank and Jamie McCourt. In the past 20 months, Fisher has gone from unknown blogger to a public fixture in one particular constellation of the sports media, writing about the divorce and other baseball topics for ESPNLosAngeles.com and The Hardball Times. GAINING PROFILE He missed the first month of law school last year because he was attending the McCourt divorce trial. Fisher said he found himself flying to Los Angeles for the trial because Molly Knight, of ESPN The Magazine, unexpectedly called him and asked "when are you getting in?" "I wasn't planning to go," Fisher said. But Knight persuaded him that he should be there. He called Dodgers officials to ask about press seating, and when he explained that he was from Dodgerdivorce.com, they said he had a spot reserved, along with sports journalists Knight, T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times and Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated. "That was a surreal experience," Fisher said. "That was when I was like, 'this is real'" Since then, the New York Times has profiled him and he has "stuttered and stammered" his way through several radio interviews.

Gammons is now just one of 2,296 people following Fisher as he tweets regular updates on the Dodgers drama. He said he is in contact with the Dodgers front office, and speaks with Frank McCourt often, along with attorneys on all sides and Dodgers public relations. OPENING UP THE BOOKS The self-described "Dodgers diehard, news addict and law nerd" has written more than 200 blog posts investigating, explicating and commenting on the case — or, cases — beginning in October of 2009. when he obtained Jamie McCourt's divorce application. He was in law school at the University of Minnesota then, having graduated from the University of Kansas as an English major with a minor in business. THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 Like his brother, he joined Delta Upsilon Fraternity, where he made his fraternity brothers watch the Dodgers play the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2009 playoffs and flew to L.A. for the National League Championship Series when the Dodgers went down in five games against Philadelphia. "It was the money," Fisher said, explaining his particular interest in the case. Fisher grew up in Los Angeles a Dodgers fan and came to the University of Kansas partly in order to be near his brother Chris, who was living in Lenexa at the time. His passion as a fan combined with an interest in business when he learned the Dodgers franchise was about to explode in 2009, and all the controversial business dealings of its owners were to be made a matter of public record. The spark that ignited it all was Jamie McCourt's divorce application, which someone sent to Fisher before it hit the news. As a law student he "knew the words," and called his purchase of the website the best 10 dollars anyone will ever spend. Fisher graduated in 2008, with a business minor that focused on credit financing at a time when credit was short amid the global financial crisis. He worked at a bank for a short time before entering law school in Minnesota, and it was then that he took more than an amateur In retrospect, Fisher said, he should have studied finance as an undergraduate at the University of Kansas. But he decided as a sophomore English major that he was best served by taking the shortest route out of school and looking for a job. He was responsible for the cost of his tuition, and had "hated school ever since I was two." interest in following the Dodgers. In Fisher's view, the fall of Dodgers ownership is a three stage failure that contains echoes of a national economic collapse of housing and credit. First, the McCourts' purchase of the Dodgers was "leveraged to the hilt," partly supported by investments in real estate that evaporated in 2008. Second, Fisher said, the McCourts had the opportunity to fix their financial problems without making their bookkeeping public. He suspects dramas such as the McCourts' play out behind the scenes at many baseball franchises, but don't become public unless a court case opens the books. UDK Speaking of the fallout from the divorce, Fisher said, "They had the opportunity to make sure I was never relevant, that nobody in this field was ever relevant. Buty they didn't. Any success I've had is entirely related to their decisions not to fix this." The third stage of failure Fisher described as an ongoing disaster where the worst possibility seems always to happen, from bankruptcy to Selig's takeover of the team to the looming conflict between the McCourts and major league baseball, which Fisher said he expects to be "bitter and contentious." "I can't have these people filing for bankruptcy every week," he said. "I didn't buy Tigerdivorce.com." "You don't throw something like this away," Fisher said. He will continue operating the site as long as there's a use for it. He has acquired skills and credibility as a sportswriter and a wealth of contacts, which he feels will be valuable to him in the long run, even if he isn't sure exactly how. But at the same time, covering the Dodgers is a lot of work, and Fisher will soon need to focus on his new job at the law firm. LIVING WITH DODGERDIVORCE.COM Meanwhile, Fisher has recently moved to Kanasas City and is preparing to start a job at the downtown law firm of Bryan Cave LLP, where he will work in corporate transactions. His brother, Chris, lives nearby in Parkville, Mo., and his mom is now the house mother at Delta Upsilon in Lawrence. He said he will continue to report on the Dodgers cases. Oh yeah. There 's an app for that! "Everything that could go wrong with the Dodgers, did go wrong. I'm really looking forward to the stories that I can tell in a few years, once this is all cooled down," Fisher said. "I'm an accidental journalist - I didn't mean to. I got a break on a big story before anybody else did. Who am I? I'm a 25-year-old nobody." Be the first to get the newest Kansan Stories, Twitter, & Free for All, plus live KJHK feed.

Your teacher called your name and said, "It's your time to speak." College freshmen can experience problems with anxiety, but licensed psychologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center John Wade offers ways students can manage. Wade said the first step is to understand the level of your anxiety. The need for concern comes when it feels like anxiety is interfering with your life. It is important to find out what triggers your anxiety. Wade said a trigger is when we perceive a threat. "A threat can be many things. It can be a threat of not knowing if we have the knowledge or skill to handle the situation we are in. It's the sense of not knowing whether we will be accepted socially or not. The sense of not knowing all the things we need to navigate the university system," Wade said. Once you understand the reason behind your anxiety assess your physical symptoms. "The physical symptoms are similar to feeling in danger. Which means you tend to sweat more, your heart rate goes up, your breathing becomes more shallow and rapid," Wade said. A helpful tip is to try to slow your breathing down. Slowing your breathing down can help you feel more physiologically relaxed. You should try to gain knowledge about your anxiety, Wade said. If you know more about the situation, usually you will feel more comfortable. The next step is to challenge your anxiety. Depending on the degree of your anxiety, Wade said, it's helpful to confront your fears and do it anyway. Challenge the validity of your anxiety. "Don't start with your most feared situation, but with low level situations." Wade said. For example, if you are nervous talking to people, "Talk to one person at a party, then move to two or three," Wade said. Avoiding situations at times is OK, but as a general rule you should challenge yourself more often, Wade said. If your level of anxiety is incapacitated you should seek help, he said. The Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins offers individual sessions for students for $15. MONEY Back to school on a budget HANNAH DAVIS editor@kansan.com The graduating class of 2011 may have their diplomas, but most of them also have a whole lot of debt. Tuition in the state of Kansas is at an all time high following the Kansas Board of Regents' summer decision to raise tuition at KU a whopping 8.2 percent, which equates to more than a $300 increase every semester. Students can spend thousands of dollars after they've paid their tuitions on books, electronics, clothing and transportation. To cut costs we are bringing you a back-to-school on a budget shopping guide TEXTBOOKS Buy used books: Used textbooks are sold at reduced prices, ranging from 15 to 25 percent. You have to be on top of your game though; used textbooks are the first to fly off the shelves. Rent textbooks: Most students don't want to hang onto their Biology 101 textbooks after the semester is over. Students who opt to rent cent. Campusbookrentals.com is a popular site among students. Share textbooks: Approach a classmate on the first day of the semester and see if they want to share a textbook. Both parties' cost will be cut in half. their textbooks save up to 90 per- Talk with your professor before purchasing textbooks: Not all textbooks are required. Email your professor before the semester begins and ask which books are necessary. WARDROBE For many people back to school is synonymous with a new wardrobe. If you are going to get new threads for the fall semester let go of the old ones for a price. Companies like Arizona Trading Company, 736 Massachusetts St. and Plato's Closet, 3514 Clinton Parkway, buy gently used clothing for cash or in store credit. Ellie Kraft, who graduated from KU's business school last May, did most of her back to school shopping at Arizona Trading Company. Kraft got a pair of True Religion jeans which normally cost more than $200 for $35 which she had in store credit from trading in last season's fashions. COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS Companies like Apple and Dell offer college students discounts on their products. When shopping for computers and electronics always bring your student ID card and inquire about student discounts. A 10 percent discount on an $1199 MacBook Pro comes out to more than $119. TRANSPORTATION Walk/Bike: Walking and biking to class requires no gas money and their is no chance you'll return from class to find your sneakers or bike has been ticketed. Carpool: Commuting students should carpool to campus to cut down on gas expenses. Bus: Commuting students can also take advantage of the free busing system. Car: If you are going to drive, don't park illegally. Parking tickets add up quickly and result in a hold on your student account. --- I CAN GET THE HOOK UP 10 WELCOME BACK, JOYHUNKS.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 PAGE 44 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN CAMPUS Avoid lame excuses if you do mess up HANNAH DAVIS editor@kansan.com Deadlines plague the college experience. Before taking your first class, attending your first keger or moving into your first closet they call a dorm room, you must have already met several deadlines; the application deadline, the FAFSA deadline, filing your immunization and the list goes on. To err is human, to make excuses is collegiate. Before embarking on a college education every freshman should be armed with the following simple guidelines to avoid missing deadlines and if all else fails a list of over-used excuses to avoid. Getting into college is only the beginning. Over the span of a college career a student will be asked to meet thousands of deadlines, the majority of which are set by professors. COMMUNICATE IN ADVANCE If you know you are going to miss a class, whatever the reason is for your absence, inform your professor as soon as possible. They will appreciate the courtesy, recognize your responsibility and most likely help find a mutually acceptable solution. HONESTY REALLY IS THE BEST POLICY. REALLY Believe it or not the men and women standing at the front of the classroom droning on about 18th century French poetry or molecular biology were young once, too. If you indulged in dollar night at the Hawk and slept through Thursday morning's alarm they'll probably understand. Nobody, is perfect but every one appreciates honesty and respect. Tell the truth, acknowledge your immature lapse in judgement, apologize and don't let it happen again. Crafting a fictional plot about your car being towed takes way too much energy, especially with a hangover. KNOW THE FINAL DAY TO DROP CLASSES It's never too late until it's too late. Although you won't get your money back, you can still salvage your GPA by dropping a course that is beyond salvation. Who knows, maybe the second time is the charm? If you're going to lie at least be original. Avoid these over used explanations. THESE EXCUSES ARE SO LAST SEMESTER PETS Man's best friend also happens to be man's best scapegoat. Excuses involving a pet immediately raise a red flag for professors. When your professor asks you for an update on Scruffy later in the semester and you give them a bewildered look, they may grade that final with greater scrutiny. Car accidents, dead batteries, tire blow-outs and towed cars are some of the most popular explanations for a missed class or late assignment. Chances are you really will experience car trouble. No one wants to be the girl who cried 'dead battery'. CAR TROUBLE DEATH OF A RELATIVE Besides the fact that lying about the death of a relative is morbid, this excuse loses its luster fast. Grammy can only die once, a professor won't excuse you for her fictitious death and then again for the real funeral. BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND TROUBLE You may get away with this excuse once, but its generally a one trick pony. In theory college is preparation for "the real world." "Real world bosses" couldn't care less about a tiff you had with your significant o'er. OTHER POINTERS KEEP IT SIMPLE Avoid lies and tall tales that can be verified. A simple request for a doctor's note, a funeral notice or a vet's bill and the gig is up. LAY LOW CAMPUS If you miss a class because you're "sick" don't let your TA run into you on Mass St. later that night. Talk before moving in together BRITTANY NELSON editor@kansan.com Living without parents or siblings can be both liberating and stressful for many college students. Numerous students opt to live with their best friends so they have a support system and someone to hang out with. However, if living routines and personalities don't match up, it could ruin a friendship. John Robertson, Lawrence psychologist, said that roommates need to talk to the person they plan on living with prior to moving in to discuss everyday living habits such as sleep, study and cleaning habits to see if the roommate will be a good match. "A planned conversation is best, right before you move in," Robertson said. "You need to talk about how you are going to live together. Clarity, kindness and consistency are the three key things." Uzma Fareed, a graduate from Lenexa, said that when she lived with a good friend, the friendship turned sour. "What she thought was clean I thought was messy," Fareed said. "We didn't set any rules or discuss anything in the beginning, which was a mistake." Fareed regrets not having better communication with the person who was once one of her best friends and now an acquaintance. "The secret is if people can talk to each other openly about things," Robertson said. "Sometimes, if you live with a close friend, confrontation may be more difficult." Chris Leber, a previous KU student from Overland Park, said he lived with a best friend his senior year of high school. Leber said that after his roommate received a DUI and suffered a car wreck, his roommate stopped drinking altogether and became very religious. "We ended up avoiding each other," Leber said. We got to a point where we finally wanted to sort out our problems but it was hard because I literally wanted to hit him. We recently got into a fight and are not speaking." "Before, he would start arguments with people about believing in God, and after the accident he didn't party anymore and was a completely different person," Leber said. Leber and Fareed are not the Leber said he also didn't help with dishes and would frequently use his computer. only ones with roommate problems. Although they had their fair share of friendship issues under the same roof they also had good experiences as well. Fareed said this last school year, she lived with a good friend but they decided to talk about rules and compromise living habits prior to moving in. Leber said that he lived with two of his best friends and conflict wasn't an issue. "If we had a fight, we'd get our boxing gloves and headgear and duke it out," Leber said. "I advise every guy to buy that." Robertson said he doesn't advise against living with a good friend, but people have to communicate rules, living habits and how they can compromise so living together isn't a burden. "I've had a lot of students come to me depressed because of this issue," Robertson said. "Students need to look at this situation as a roommate problem, not a friendship problem. As long as the communication lines are open and you can live with each other's habits and personalities, there should not be a problem, enjoy it." CAMPUS MEG LOWRY editor@kansan.com Going potluck when selecting a roommate for freshman year may be a popular option, but randomly selected roommates don't always end up the best of friends. Random roomates can be too risky Every year, hundreds of incoming freshman are randomly matched with roommates to live with through Student Housing Services and apartment complex- S t e p h Waugh, a recent graduate from Topeka, knows that going potluck doesn't always make for the easiest living situations. unique problems. "We had a lot of problems with cleaning and people taking each other's food," said Waugh. "But I didn't know how to bring it up because I didn't really know these girls." Allison Golub, who worked as a Resident Assistant at Corbin Hall during the fall of 2010, said the majority of roommate disagreements are regarding visitors, alcohol or noise. "I decided to go potluck because I thought it would be a good way to make new friends," said Waugh, who lived in a four-person suite at Lewis Hall. "Living with someone you don't know can be tough."

"The trashcan prank is where you take one of the garbage cans in your dorm room, fill it half way full of water, lean it against someone's closed door and knock.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 PAGE 46 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN CAMPUS Untrue ideas about buildings abound MONISHA BRUNER editor@kansan.com Are you scared to walk through the Campanile? Are you convinced that Wescoe Hall was meant to be a parking garage? Do you tell people that Strong Hall was built backwards? If so, you are an enabler of campus myths. Several false and misunderstood myths are spread throughout campus, but here's a guide to several to help separate fact from fiction. MYTH 1: If you walk under the Campanile before you graduate, you won't get that diploma. Who can honestly say if this myth is true or false? According to carilon.ku.edu the Campanile was built in 1950 as a memorial to KU students' families who died in World War II. Some students believe if you enter into the Campanile before you graduate, you will not graduate. One brave soul, Ariana Olivas, a senior from Andrews, Texas, dared to test this myth. Olivas said she just wanted to go look inside of the Campanile. Later, a friend said, "You can't do that, you won't graduate." Her friend said she was told about the myth by a guide while on a campus visit. Olivas said she is nervous about the experience, "I kind of don't believe it, but I already walked through it, so I hope it's not true." MYTH 2: Wesco Hall was designed to be a parking garage. This myth is misunderstood. Accoring to the 1966 University of Kansas application for a construction grant, Wescoe Hall was designed to be a building for the Humanities Department. In 1966, the University applied for a construction grant to build the department. This building was needed to give academic space to free the graduate programs from the buildings they were in. The application for the grant said there would be "two five-story classroom buildings, a high-rise office administration building, and a concourse connecting the first five levels of the building." According to documents in the Spencer Research Library, later in 1967, then-Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said the building would now be 25-stories and the lower five-story wings would have many windows and be a comparable size to Strong Hall. In late November, architects added an underground parking garage to accommodate 150 cars, a student mail center, and a 300-student electronic classroom lab. In March 1968, the building was cut from 25 stories to 15. Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor at the time, said with limited funding available they questioned if the original plans were realistic. After several redesigns of the building, the state paid the architects for their time and hired new architects in the summer of 1969 to redesign the building. The new architect plan was four-stories high and priced higher than the previous plans. The new architect's plan included the parking garage but was cut for cost and made into offices. MYTH 3: There was a tunnel from Bailey Hall to the Kansas Union. According to the National Register of Historic Places, was constructed in 1899 on what was then the far west end of campus. The national register has every detail of the building, what it is made of (limestone) to remodeling history. In 1956 the building was remodeled to add a new front entry and stairway, roof, and floors. The Kansas Memorial Union frame was built in 1926. Additions to the building were made in 1950, 1958, and 1970. In the 1956 December issue of KU Alumni Magazine the column titled "A day in the life of a student union man" said there are six floors in the Kansas Union. The article mentions the bowling alley, bookstore, cafeteria, living room, and ballroom. There is no mention of a tunnel in the historic data for either building. This myth is false. MYTH 4: Strong Hall was built backwards. This myth is false, but Strong Hall was not built the way its original architect designed. According to documents in the Spencer Research Library, by 1904 Fraser Hall was too small to house everything and the University needed a new building for administrative offices and science classes. Architect M.P. McArdle designed a building with an emphasis on natural lighting provided by skylights and large windows. In 1909 the state gave the University money to build Strong Hall, but only enough for the east wing. The east wing was not complete until 1911. The west wing was built in 1908 and the center was built five years later. The photo (right or left) is how Strong Hall looked in 1922. In 1940 the fourway entrance on the north side of Strong Hall was replaced with a new front entrance because the balcony and stairway were badly cracked. The building was always designed to face Mount Oread. 13850 Students walk through the Campanile during graduation, but students that walk early might not graduate.

You're not alone. BRITTANY NELSON editor@kansan.com It's 2 a.m. on a Tuesday night, and Katie Meskero, a senior from Overland Park, is wide awake. She knows she has to teach Math 101 at 8 a.m., but she said she doesn't even try to go to sleep because she knows she won't be able to. P When she finally decides to snooze, Meserko said she cannot go to sleep without the TV flickering in the dark room. "I will not fall asleep unless I'm somewhat focused on something in the background," Meserko said. "Otherwise, I constantly think in my head things I have to do or need to do, or get creative ideas." According to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research, at least 40 million adults suffer from chronic, long-term sleep problems and 20 to 30 million suffer from occasional sleep problems. So, like many other adults, Meserko needs help getting to sleep. Anne Owen, Lawrence psychologist, said that people need some kind of bedtime routine to go to sleep. "Doing something that's not compelling or interesting can help shift you from thinking about your problems or worries of the day, and you will be more likely to fall asleep," Owen said. "Most people find that playing video games or surfing the web are activating, so reading quietly might be a better choice." If every time you go to bed and feel anxious, even if you are tired, you will not fall asleep, she said. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Joe Sayegh, a graduate from Stillwell, said he has to have some sort of distraction to fall asleep, such as having the TV on or playing a game on his cell phone. busy day or random things. Watching TV gets my mind off things." "Usually, I'm not tired enough to fall asleep by the time I want to," Sayegh said. "I'm too bored to sit there and I usually think about my But Sayegh said if his girlfriend is with him, he doesn't need something else to distract him. "If someone is there, I usually fall asleep fine," Sayegh said. Owen said that if people don't have a serious sleep problem and falling asleep to a TV works for them, she sees nothing wrong with it. However, she said there are better ways to prepare yourself for sleep. "Mindfulness meditation is a good technique to help ease your mind for better sleeping." Owen said. According to the medical dictionary, mindfulness meditation is defined as, "a technique of meditation in which distracting thoughts and feelings are not ignored but are rather acknowledged and observed nonjudgmentally as they arise to create a detachment from the and gain insight and awareness." Reading a book is a bedtime routine that sleep experts recommend. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said that the more people get frustrated that they are not asleep, the more their insomnia will worsen. "Instead of getting angry that you're awake at 3 a.m. and have to get up in two hours, mindfulness meditation makes you think in a different way to where you accept your current situation." Floyd said. "Therefore you will not have anxiety, which leads to falling asleep faster." "it's bad to exercise late at night because it raises your core body temperature," Owen said. "If you are hot inside or outside of your body, you will not fall asleep." There are also many things people should avoid before hitting the sheets. Owen said that our body temperature decreases throughout the night, and this drop in temperature supports the body's sleep system.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18,2011 PAGE 48 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN EDUCATION University to offer honorary degrees, nominees unknown MERINE CHRISTY NUTT editor@kansan.com The University of Kansas is in the process of awarding honor degrees for the first time, but information on honorary degree nominees is being treated with top-secret care. Susan Kemper, psychology professor and committee leader for honorary degrees, will not even reveal how many candidates have been submitted. Bernadette Gray-Little may give honorary degrees in next year's commencement. "We don't want nominees to be disappointed if they are not chosen," she said. "We don't want this to turn into some kind of lobbying campaign or popularity campaign." The Kansas Board of Regents amended a policy that banned regent universities from giving honorary degrees last month, said Vanessa Lamoreaux, Kansas Board of Regents spokesperson. It is not clear when or why the original policy that banned honorary degrees was put in effect, Lamoreaux said. to award four different honorary degrees: a doctor of laws, science, arts or letter, Jack Martin, KU spokesperson said. With the recent amendment to the policy, the University is now able "This is a way for recipients to have their contributions recognized by a top university," Martin said. Anyone can submit a nominee by filling out a candidate submission form available on the chancellor's website. The public's deadline to submit a nominee is Aug. 15. Kemper said the committee is looking for candidates who have made a fundamental contribution to society as whole and changed the way we view our world and ourselves.

The most severe injury, though, is one you cannot see or even feel: the trauma inflicted on your brain. A study presented at the annual conference for the Research Society on Alcoholism last week reported that binge drinking greatly deteriorates gray and white matter in the brain. The National Institute on Drug Abuse defines "binge drinking" as a pattern of excessive alcohol use that increases a person's blood alcohol content rapidly, and says more than half of Americans between 18 and 25 have engaged in the activity, Typically, binge drinking would be five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more in a row for women. "Since the brain is developing in one's 20s, it could be interacting with developmental factors," Tim McQueeny, a doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati who led the study, said. More than half of Americans between 18 and 25 years old have engaged in binge drinking. McQueeny conducted high-resolution brain scans on weekend binge drinkers, which found significant erosion in the prefrontal cortex and in the gray matter of the brain. The greater number of drinks consumed, the higher correlation to brain-matter thinning. "Since the brain is developing in one's twenties, it could be interacting with developmental factors." combined alcohol reaches the binge level we see the effects" "It doesn't matter what kind of drink?" McQueeny said. "When the These effects include deterioration of the brain that control attention, planning, decision-making, thinking and transmitting messages. Chris Nelson, a third-year law student from Kansas City, Mo., has witnessed first-hand the drinking culture on campus and the negative impact it has on student performances. "I'd say a good rule of thumb is if you need to study to take a test on Friday, you won't be doing yourself any favors going out on a "Thursday," Nelson said. Binge drinking affects every single organ in the human body, but because alcohol is a depressant, it directly slows the functioning of the central nervous system. TIM MCQUEEN leader of study, University of Cincinnati According to Watkins Student Health Services, about twenty-five percent of college students say their drinking has negatively impacted their academic performance. Students report missing classes. fail- exams and falling behind in coursework as a result of their drinking. When a high-resolution brain scan of a healthy brain and a brain affected by binge drinking are placed side by side, the brain of the binge drinker appears to be filled with holes. Any binge drinking, even rarely, has this effect. "So many people think of college as the only years they can really cut loose," Nelson said. "They don't grasp what their life could be like down the line."

PAGE 50 THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COMMUNITY SERVICE Volunteering at CLO's Midnight Farm KYLIE NUTT editor@kansan.com Clare Echterling grew up in the Kansas City area riding and owning horses. It seemed only natural for her to volunteer at a therapeutic riding program. So three months ago after seeing a poster in Z's divine espresso asking for volunteers, Echterling signed up. She volunteers seven hours one day a week at Baldwin City's Community Living Opportunity's Midnight Farm helping disabled people ride horses. "I guess for me it's how happy it makes them (the riders)," said Echterling, a second-year graduate student. "And I know how happy riding makes me, so I want to help with that." Echterling said she helps people of all ages with different disabilities each week because her experiences have been rewarding. Each week for Annie's riding session, Echterling walks alongside Annie and her horse, Aussie. Annie, who is autistic, had a hard time making it through a one-hour lesson her first few weeks but now she rides the entire time, Echterling said. "It's been really cool to see how she has gotten to know me, and recognizes me every week when we work together." Echterling said. For a few of John's riding sessions, Echterling said she has walked with him and his horse, Louie. John used to ride horses when he was younger. Now in his 60s, John is recovering from a stroke and riding helps him regain his strength, Echterling said. Because of their disabilities, Annie and John cannot communicate verbally, but while riding they are given as much control as they can handle, Eckterling said. "So it has to be really empowering," she said. MIDNIGHT FARM CLO provides assisted living for adults with special needs, said Bonnie Bruns, volunteer coordinator and riding instructor at CLO's Midnight Farm in Baldwin City, 2084 N 600th Rd. Midnight Farm has a therapeutic riding program for people who are at least 3 years old and have disabilities. Midnight Farm currently serves 55 riders who are between the ages of 3 and 70. Disabilities include autism, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, stroke, traumatic brain injuries and more, Bruns said. Riding helps people psychologically, physically and emotionally. Comet, Vanzi, Koko, Louie, Aussie and Ricky make up the horse clan. Some horses are stocky, small, short and tall, so every rider can have a horse that suits them best. "Part of what Midnight Farm was built for is people at CLO to experience life in the country and get to feel a little bit of freedom, things they might not get to do in the city," Bruns said. VOLUNTEER ORIENTED A sidewalker walks along side with the horse and the rider to give physical support or to maintain balance, and to help with games and activities, Bruns said. And a leader leads the horse through the arena, but the volunteer needs to have some horse experience to do this. Eckterling volunteers as a sidewalker, a leader and helps with chores in and around the barn. The program relies on volunteers. For one lesson, which lasts between 45 minutes to one hour, up to 12 volunteers could be needed. Each rider can have up to three volunteers: two sidewalkers and one leader. This On average, there are five to six lessons a day, meaning a maximum of 72 volunteers could help. At any given time there are about 50 active volunteers who volunteer their time Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, every week, Bruns said. means only four people are allowed to ride at any given time. "If there weren't volunteers, they (Midnight Farm) wouldn't be able to afford to staff that many people to give each rider the support they need," Echlering said. This fall, Midnight Farm is adding 15 more riders who each require at least two volunteers and sometimes three. That means as many as 45 more volunteers could be needed to provide services. RIDERS' BENEFIT People with disabilities come from Topeka, Kansas City, Lawrence, Ottawa and Baldwin to Midnight Farm, Bruns said. There are three certified therapeutic riding instructors who teach basic riding skills. "I think the biggest thing is the sense of independence you get when you're riding." Echterling said. "Especially people who have pretty major physical disabilities; you get such a sense of mobility when you're on a horse." While riding, each rider works on physical therapy-type exercises, such as bending, stretching and reaching, Bruns said. Echterling said she enjoys seeing the immediate results the riding therapy provides. "A lot of times I think when you volunteer, you know that it's a good thing, but you don't always see the immediate good that it does," Echterling said. "But this, when you go and do it, you immediately see how much it's helping the rider and how happy it makes them." TO VOLUNTEER: Go to www.midnightfarm.org Click on the 'volunteer tab at the top.

"Some people lost everything, but they still had a sense of giving and community," Schreiner, a senior from Shelbville, Kv. said. Schreiner said one woman was more worried about her neighbor's electricity getting turned on than the work the students were doing to fix her corroded porch. The experience made Schreiner realize how fortunate she is and the importance of giving to others, she said. "The trip changed my mind about what I want to do in life. One thing I know is that volunteer work will always be a part of my life" Schreiner said. Schreiner is just one of the 40 KU students who volunteered as part of the summer Alternative Break program, said Stephanie Jian, Alternative Break co-director. Five different groups of KU volunteers traveled to five states. The students left on May 23 for a week of volunteer work, Melanie Gorges, the program's summer coordinator, said. The summer volunteer work ranged from environmental conservation in Flamingo, Fla., to youth education at the Cheyenne River Reservations in Eagle Butte, S.D., Gorges said. The volunteer trips are a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work, Gorges said. "If volunteering is not your thing, then I wouldn't suggest it because it is a week of full-fledged work," Gorges said. Schreiner said her group would often work nine hours a day in the Texas heat. The work was not only physical but also emotionally challenging, she said. Participants must take a weekly class for 2-4 weeks to prepare them for the work, but the experience is also very rewarding, Gorges said. Students can apply to earn honor credits by participating in the program and completing the preparatory classes. "It is a really cool way to have a real-life experience outside the classroom with other KU students while you are seeing the world." Gorges said. In addition to paying for the cost of tuition, students must complete a final paper and a few reflective writings. Gorges said. About half of participants took advantage of the honor credit, Gorges said. The cost for students to participate in the summer alternative break without accounting for the honor credit was between $275 and $375 depending on the site location. The participation fee pays for gas and basic accommodations, Gorges said. There are partial scholarships and payment plans available for students that can't afford the participation fee, Jian said. Students can participate in weekend trips through the Alternative Break program as well as the summer, winter and spring trips. Jian said more weekend trips will be scheduled next year than in previous years. The weekend trips will start on Aug.27. "We are extending the program a lot next year. We will have weekend trips almost every weekend during the school year," Jian said. The additional weekend trips will help accommodate the some 300 incoming honors freshman that must complete one honorary credit hour outside of the classroom, Jian said. The program is accepting applications for weekend breaks now. Applications are available on the Alternative Breaks website. For most weekend trips students spend one day volunteering at organizations in Lawrence or Kansas City, Jian said. Weekend trips cost $5 to $10. "If you have never done volunteer work before, it is a cool way to get started," Gorges said.

PAGE 52 THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FILM LOCAL Turning trash to treasure is not so simple A city code prohibits dumpster diving but that doesn't stop the dedicated CHRISTY NUTT editor@kansan.com Like most of the things in Heidi Yoder's apartment, the antique lamp hanging from her ceiling came from the trash. Yoder originally saved the glass lamp from the dumpster. She later sold the lamp to a neighbor at a garage sale. When Yoder saw the lamp at the neighbor's trash bin a couple of years later, she couldn't help but take in as her own one last time. For Lawrence resident Yoder, her lamp represents dumpster diving at its best — community members trading items instead of buying new things. This is not a new concept for Yoder, who said she has been dumpster diving her entire life. Most times Yoder only picks items of interest but it's a different story during move-out season. "I've found lots of treasures along the way," Yoder said. "I'll go out hunting if I know that the KU students are leaving because they will leave a whole bunch of stuff that they don't want to take back home," Yoder said. "It's usually still pretty useful." Yoder's best finds include roller skates, records, clothing and furniture. However, according to the City of Lawrence, Yoder obtained these "treasures" illegally. "Some people feel very strongly against others going through their trash because they consider it an invasion of privacy," Lawrence communications manager Megan Gilliland said. "It is their understanding that the city will dispose of their trash without others going through it." The threat of identify theft also makes people uneasy about others rummaging through their trash, Gilliland said. The city says to let it collect what's on the curb, but dumpster divers think otherwise. A city code prohibits unauthorized individuals from going through or removing other people's trash. Since January 2010, city officials prosecuted six people for unlawfully removing trash.

According to the office of Lawrence supervising prosecutor Jerry Little, most people receive a fine of $100. For first time offenders the jail time is typically suspended, Little said. Yoder said she knows about the ordinance, but it doesn't stop her from dumpster diving. She has never received a ticket. "If there is useful stuff that people can use then by all means they should take it, but they should be respectful of not making a mess or throwing trash around," Yoder said. "There are a lot of people who dumpster dive that are stable people, very active in the community that you would never guess as the type to dumpster dive," Davis said. "They find things and donate them instead of giving a monetary donation." AmeriCorps member of the Lawrence Social Service League Kendra Davis said the only people she has known the city to ticket for dumpster diving were homeless or poor. Davis said the Social Service League Thrift Store, 905 Rhode Island St., depends on dumpster diving as a way to receive donations of items that would otherwise be thrown out. Two years ago, the Social Service League began sending its unwanted items to different organizations instead of discarding them. Previ- "The city only picked up the trash once a week, which was not enough for the agency," she said. The city will make changes to the trash changes to the trash pick-up schedule during move-out season to ensure that this isn't the case for Lawrence residents. ously, it depended on dumpster divers to clear out its dumpster between scheduled trash pickups, Davis said. "We are aware of the amount of waste during the move in time," Gilliland said. "So we do our best to pick it up as quickly as possible so that aesthetically it is not a problem and because we don't want people digging through the trash." The sanitation department restricts vacation time during the season to ensure there is enough staff available, Gilliland said. Trash pickup, which typically runs Monday through Friday, will run an extra day on Saturday, July 30, to areas with several apartment buildings and student residents, such as Oread Drive. "I'll go out hunting if I know that the KU students are leaving because they will leave a whole bunch of stuff that they don't want to take back home." HEIDI YODER Lawrence resident If city officials feel there is still an overabundance of trash on Aug. 1, some crew members who typically pick up yard waste will be reassigned to help pick up trash, Gilliland said. Gilliland said that the city wants people to recycle and reuse in order to reduce waste, but that going through other people's trash is not the way to do it. "There are a lot of ways to recycle and reuse if people are willing to take the time to find out who will take their things," Gilliland said. Over $5,000 in Prizes!

Here's how. With high prices to keep cars fueled and maintained, bicycling is becoming a much cleaner investment for transportation. Parking CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN SHAUNA BLACKMON editor@kansan.com Caroline Dickinson used to drive all the time — to work, to go out with friends, anywhere she could. Now, with gas at almost $4 a gallon, she has changed her motorist ways and started finding other means to get around. "I like riding bikes because I get to save the planet," Dickinson, a junior from Olathe, said. "I'm not driving a super车 car around everywhere just to move me from place to place." Dickinson hasn't always been environmentally conscious, but after living in Lawrence for a few years, she converted. For more than two years, she drove the three miles to her Starbucks job. Now she is trying to make the trip by bike as often as possible. When she does drive, Dickinson motors around in a 2007 Toyota Yaris, which gets about 39 miles to the gallon. But even with good gas mileage, it isn't fiscally feasible for her to drive anymore. Dickinson isn't alone. As gas prices rise so does transportation creativity. The past few weeks, local bike shops have seen an increase in business as riders pull old bikes out of storage for the first time in years. Some are even buying new bikes. Area bike shops saw a similar trend in 2008 when gas reached a national average of $4.11 a gallon. "2008 was such a whirlwind, it was insane for us," Adam Hess, a Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop bike mechanic, said. "People start seeing the bottom line on their monthly expenses and try to find a way around that's cheaper." Brian Shay, the owner of The Re-Cyclery, primarily a used bike shop at 315 N. Second St., said in 2008 there was a 25 to 30 percent increase in sales. He's hoping this year will be similar. "I've already seem a lot of people cleaning out their garages and sheds bringing their bikes in to get fixed," he said. "Tires are usually the biggest things and cables and chains tend to rust up." Shay said. REPAIR OR UPGRADE? Those rescuing abandoned bikes from storage still need to do a few checks before riding. At The Re-Cycler and Sunflower Bike Shop, 804 Massachusetts St., those replacements can be relatively inexpensive. Shay said for about $100 a $500 bike can be as good as new. If repairing an old bike isn't an option, Aaron Miller, also a Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop bike mechanic, said consumers should ask a few questions before buying a new one. Road surfaces, distance and transporting materials are all factors. "There has been a growing trend in hybrid-style bikes, lighter weight and simplified bikes meant for paved use," Miller said. "There isn't really any one bike that is the bike for beginners or commuters, but these newer hybrid-style bikes are definitely the most ideal for just getting around." A new hybrid bike at Sunflower starts at about $400. The Re-Cyclery doesn't usually have many hybrids but it does have used road bikes, which can be just as good for riding on paved roads, Shay said. Because most of The Re-Cyclery's bikes are used, the starting price is about $150. ROAD RULES In addition to repairs and replacements, Hess said cyclists need to understand that riding a bike in traffic isn't like driving a car. "You can't be an offensive bike rider. The biggest thing I see is people who try to assert themselves on the road but it just doesn't work. Don't assert yourself. You're at the mercy of huge, slower stopping vehicles around you." The city requires cyclists to obey all traffic laws. Cyclists can ride on either the street or the sidewalk, except for Massachusetts Street where bikes are not allowed on sidewalls. Lawrence has a few bike trails, but most are not helpful to commuters. However, cyclists can plan a route using a city bike map, which gives information on traffic flow and speed. Maps can be found online or at any bike shop. The two main pitfalls of riding to work are bad weather and transporting materials. Most bikes have rack components, which can hold a variety of different sized bags. It might not even be a bad idea to stash a rain jacket in there just in case. According to Trek bicycle manufacturer, 40 percent of trips are within two miles of the home and 25 percent are within one mile. Depending on the route, it might take a little longer to reach a destination by bike than by car but in some cases it can actually be quicker. "You can skip the delays, that's what I like about bikes." Hess said. "You are never sitting behind somebody waiting on somebody else, you can go your own way." While biking might require some extra effort, the benefits quickly add up. Switching from a four-mile car commute to bicycle will save about 66 gallons of gas per year, keep 51 pounds of carbon monoxide out of the air, and burn 36,000 calories over the course of a year, the equivalent of 10 pounds in fat, according to the Trek website. "We are a society build on cars not bicycles," Hess said. "But the more people we can get riding bikes, the more positive effects we will see as far as people buying things locally and urban areas becoming smaller, more village-like." YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE FIT TO "FIT IN" AT BODY BOUTIQUE! " ? When I came to KU, I knew I had to find a fitness club, but I wasn't sure which one would be best for me.

Many students take advantage of the various student organizations that Kansas offers and it is no different with the intramural sports program. Students have the privilege of participating in intramurals during their tenure at Kansas. The intramural sports program offers activities in just about anything. Approximately 9,000 students participate in the intramural program each year. "Our numbers continue to grow which shows that we must be doing something right," said Matt Beck, intramurals coordinator. "I get far more positive feedback than negative feedback from students." They are always exploring new activities and new policies to ensure that the leagues and activities are fair, competitively balanced and to continue to keep the activities fun and relevant to students. Activities run throughout the entire school year and are divided into fall and spring sports. Competition is organized according to the type of activity: team sports, singles/doubles sports and team tournaments. All intramural sports offer men, coed and women's teams. From creeed and women there teams can be broken up into Greek leagues and men's recreational and competitive leagues. "Intramural participation is a good way to get a foot in the door for a greater overall KU experience," Beck said Beck said another great aspect of the program is they basically offer something for everybody at every skill level on campus. "Intramural participation is a good way to get a foot in the door for a great overall KU experience." Spring sports include: basketball, soccer, softball, ultimate Frisbee, kickball tournament, four-on-four flag football tournament, wallyball, table tennis and racteball. The intramural program is a fun and friendly way for students to interact and play competitively. "My goal is 'an activity for everyone and everyone in an activity' Beck said. Fall sports include: flag football, sand volleyball, indoor volleyball, dodgeball, pre-holiday basketball tournament, bowling, floor hockey and indoor soccer. MATT BECK intramurals coordinator favorite things is hearing from alumni that the best memories they had at KU were playing intramurals," Beck said. "To me that is what it is all about, making memories with your fellow students and having a good time while doing so" Registration for a team ranges from free to $20 per team depending on the sport or activity. "Any feedback from students is appreciated and taken into consideration when creating the budget, schedule and policies for the upcoming year," Beck said. To create a team and find out more info students can go to www.ku.atleague.com. 6 Daniel Fisher, a law student from Phoenix, AZ, and DJ Schepker, a graduate student from Lenexa fight for a rebound Thursday at the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center.

MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN CAMPUS Top sites to vist on campus HANNAH DAVIS editor@kansan.com You wouldn't visit the big apple without checking out the Statue of Liberty, Times Square or the Empire State Building. Just like the big apple, KU's campus has an impressive list of must see landmarks many students miss during their college careers. Here is a list of the top five must see KU institutions. SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY reading room where students can get lost for hours in history. The Spencer is an internationally recognized special collections library located directly behind Strong Hall. Rare books, original documents and photos fill the cool marble rooms in the Spencer. The Spencer has three main collections: Kansas History, Special and Rare Collections, which include medieval documents, and University Archives. A photo ID is the only requirement to view some of the nation's rarest books and documents. The service isn't too bad either; librarians hand-deliver the books to a private ALLEN FIELDHOUSE ESPN ranked it the loudest arena in the country and KU fans will add it is the best. The Spencer Research Library may house history but history has been made in Allen Fieldhouse. During basketball season devoted fans camp for days, eagerly awaiting the coveted tickets. The relatively small venue allows fans to see their favorite players up close. Allen Fieldhouse also boasts an impressive museum dedicated to the history of basketball and KU athletics. DANFORTH CHAPEL The quaint little chapel is in high demand. Jayhawks wanting to christen their baby or say "I do" have to plan well in advance to secure this historic KU landmark that started in 1946. On your way to Biology 101 be sure to wave at joyous wedding parties and send them well wishes from one Jayhawk to another. Everyone is welcome at the non-denominational house of worship. Students and KU alumni enjoy reduced rates. SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART Permanent and touring collections adorn the walls of the Spencer Museum, which was opened in 1977 and designed by architect Robert Lenk, a KU alumnus. The quiet halls create the perfect environment to get lost for an afternoon. The Spencer is nationally known for its Japanese, American and European collections There are more than 1.5 million artifacts housed in Spooner Hall. Artifacts range in ages from thousands of years old to artifacts from the turn of the century. If a student went to the museum every day during the four years of their college career, they'd have to see 1,027 artifacts a day to eventually see everything the Museum of Archeology has to offer. This might be an incentive to stick around for a fifth year.

Gaining the edge over Manhattan has been arduous, but according to Take Charge Challenge Coordinator Greg Beverlin, there's a bigger picture behind the competition. Lawrence and Manhattan have been competing all year to see which community can conserve the most energy in the statewide energy efficiency challenge, but with bragging rights and a $100,000 prize on the line. Lawrence needs to hang on to its lead for the final six weeks of the competition. "We are rivals, but I think every city involved in this benefits," said Beverlin, "The main goal is for people to make long term changes" Yet as the Take Charge Challenge nears its finish line on Sept. 30th, the intrastate rivalry certainly seems to be intensifying. Lawrence is ahead in the two out of three competition categories. To stay ahead, Lawrence students and residents are encouraged to contact Westar Energy about installing WattSaver thermostats, as well as switch incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs and register them at takecharges.org. If Lawrence can emerge victorious, the $100,000 in grant money will go toward several energy savings projects for the city. According to Beverlin, the projects were chosen by Eileen Horn, Sustainability Coordinator for Lawrence and Douglas County.

"You'd have to be pretty foolish to not think that students are exploring every option that they have," said Rourke, assistant director for the bookstore in the Kansas Union. "We understand that." Students spend an average of $900 on textbooks a year, according to research from the Student Public Interest Research Groups (Student PIRGs). With textbook prices on the rise, students must choose their options well when deciding between buying or renting and shopping at the bookstore or shopping online. Jarika Lewis, a junior from Wichita, had a hard time deciding where to get her textbooks this semester. Lewis felt that working at the bookstore gave her the necessary discount to avoid purchasing books online. "Sometimes teachers don't require books for class and returning books is harder online," Lewis said. "But pricing at the bookstore is a little bit ridiculous." To counter a growing number of websites offering textbooks, the bookstore recently began offering price comparisons between its own prices, Amazon.com and Half. com. Rentals cost 61 percent less than new print textbooks and could reduce the yearly amount spent on textbooks, according to Student PIRGs, an organization consisting of college students that looks at the rising cost of college.

Strong winds and battering rain were expected late Sunday over Puerto Rico, including its outlying islands of Wieses and Culebra. U.S. forecasters had earlier expected the storm's center to pass just south of Puerto Rico's southern coast, but now said it could pass over the island of nearly 4 million inhabitants. "The storm is wobbling a little bit. It is moving more to the west-northwest than we anticipated earlier," said Cristina Forbes, an oceanographer at the center CARACAS. VENEZUELA Supporters of President Hugo Chavez shaved their heads in solidarity with their leader's struggle against cancer on Sunday as hundreds prayed and sang at a televised event. Barbers shaved off the hair of several men and at least one woman while the crowd swayed to a religious song. Chavez, bald from chemotherapy, smiled, clapped with the music and waved to the crowd. Those attending included a group of six from the Dominican Republic who shaved their heads outside the Venezuelan Embassy in their country on Friday. Chavez greeted the Dominicans with hugs and stood arm-in-arm with them. JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN MOSCOW Reclusive North Korea's autocratic leader Kim Jong II crossed into Russia Saturday on his armored train to discuss with President Dmitry Medvedev the possible renewal of nuclear disarmament talks and the construction of a pipeline that will stream Russian natural gas to both Koreas, the Kremlin and media said. Kim's visit to the Cold War ally is a further sign of Pyongyang's increasing efforts to reach out for economic assistance and diplomatic support. North Korea's official media did not specify when a meeting with Medvedev would take place, but said that Kim's visit was at the invitation of the Russian president. More than 185 people have been killed in South Sudan in a recent cattle raid and an unrelated militia attack, officials said Sunday. The incidents underscore the challenges and insecurity faced by South Sudan, which became the world's newest country when it declared independence in July. South Sudan army spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said fighters loyal to rebel leader George Athor crossed the border from north Sudan and attacked a town in South Sudan's Upper Nile state. Aguer said the violence which started Friday left 60 people dead, including seven soldiers and 53 militia members. He said the soldiers managed to repel the attackers.

The tree had already died of a fungal disease called verticillum wilt. "The Bedazzler," which was temporary by design, stood at the corner of 14th Street and Jayhawk Blvd. since May 2009. Most of Dougherty's similar works last less than two years before they inevitably decompose. The Spencer Museum of Art commissioned the sculpture as part of the exhibit "Trees and Other Ramifications: Branches in Nature and Culture." IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com "Temporary does not mean forgettable," museum director Saralyn Reece Hardy said. "It's appropriate that they're not there forever. The way our environment and economy are right now; it says something about fragility, the transient and ephemeral." Artist Patrick Dougherty spent three weeks crafting "The Bedazzler," but it only took a few hours for landscapes to tear it apart. T EDL S S in i JOHN JSHI Bob Abbott, landscaping supervisor for Facilities Operations, supervised workers Friday morning as they fed some parts of the tree and sculpture into a wood chipper, while another worker used a backhoe to load branches into a dump truck. Dougherty created "The Bedazzler" with the help of more than a dozen volunteers and sculpture students, as well as employees from the KU Facilities Operations department. They used around 6,000 pounds of silver maple and rough-leaf dogwood saplings gathered from sustainable populations west of Lawrence. Abbott said the landscapers would plant grass in the space where "The Bedazzler" had been. She said the sculpture had been a gathering point for picnics, birthday parties and wedding ceremonies. "It was 'art' if that's what you want to call it," he said. "To me, it was just a pile of sticks." — Edited by Alexandra Esposito MORE ABOUT 'THE BEDAZZLER' The Museum commissioned "The Bedazzler" with support from The Commons, a KU partnership among the Biodiversity Institute, the Hall Center for the Humanities and the Spencer Museum of Art.

Speaking behind a podium shrouded in flowers and flanked by the deans and provosts of the University, Gray-Little said that students had the support of faculty and staff, but that they also had to take charge. Opportunities such as alternative breaks, internships and service learning are a great way for students to belong to something greater than themselves, Gray-Little said. "Ultimately though, we can only serve and guide; we can't carry you." Grav-Little said. Speaking to the entire university community, Gray-Little said there were many ways for the institution, as a whole, to measure success, but But there will be challenges. Gray-Little warned that the University would not be successful as a national research university if it does not "climb." real success is measured in lives changed. Gray-Little also spoke about the University's strategic plan that is currently in development. A draft of the plan was posted on the Provost's website on Aug. 16. It centers on four themes: sustaining the planet and powering the world, promoting well-being and finding cures, building communities and expanding opportunities, and harnessing information and multiplying knowledge. "They set out the new, higher expectations we have for ourselves," Gray-Little said.

Social media law challenged ASSOCIATED PRESS TECHNOLOGY JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A Missouri teachers' union said Friday that it is challenging a new measure that restricts teachers' use of social networking sites and their contact with students, saying it violates their constitutional rights. The Missouri State Teachers Association said it is seeking an injunction to block enforcement of part of a law that takes effect Aug. 28. The union and several public school teachers assert the law violates educators' constitutional rights to free speech, association and religion. The social networking restrictions are part of a broader law that was proposed after an Associated Press investigation found 87 Missouri teachers had lost their licenses between 2001 and 2005 because of sexual misconduct, some of which involved exchanging explicit online messages with students. Many teachers have complained the law will hurt their ability to keep in touch with students for classroom purposes, personal problems or even emergencies. Under the law, school districts must establish policies by January that outline "appropriate use of electronic media such as text messaging and Internet sites for both instructional and personal purposes." Teachers are barred from having "exclusive access" online with current students or former students who are minors. That means communication through Facebook or other sites must be done in public. The group's lawsuit — a copy of which was provided to AP — asserts that the restrictions for nonwork-related sites amounts to prior restraint and violate educators' free speech rights. It also says they could impede religious freedom and association rights by barring teachers from using non-work related websites and social networking sites that allow exclusive access with students. Spokesman Todd Fuller said the Missouri State Teachers Association has heard from an increasing number of teachers that school districts have interpreted the law in different ways, including some who say that they have been told they cannot have a Facebook page. The law restricts non-work-related websites that allow communication between a teacher and a student that cannot be viewed by others, though the measure states it is not attempting to prohibit teachers from setting up non-work websites that comply with the restrictions. It "is so vague and overbroad that the plaintiffs cannot know with confidence what conduct is permitted and what is prohibited and thereby 'chills' the exercise of first amendment rights of speech, association, religion, collective bargaining and other constitutional rights by school teachers," the lawsuit states. State Sen. Jane Cunningham, who sponsored the legislation, said critics misunderstand the law. She said teachers are not barred from using Facebook and other websites. They also aren't prohibited from communicating with students, providing discussions are public. "It only stops hidden communication between an educator and a minor child," said Cunningham, R-Chesterfield. The law also requires schools to share information about teachers who have sexually abused students with other school districts and allows a lawsuit if a district does not disclose that information and the staff member later abuses someone else. The teachers' group is not challenging that part of the law. The bill won broad support in the Legislature this year and was supported by several education organizations, including the Missouri State Teachers Association. However, the restrictions on communication between teachers and students have received increased attention and have prompted growing concerns from some.

But Abercrombie & Fitch wants him to go one further the company has offered to pay "Jersey Shore"cast members to stop wearing clothes carrying their brand. The retailer said Tuesday it would pay a "substantial payment" to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino or any cast member who stops wearing its clothing on the show because the series is "contrary to the aspirational nature of the brand." It may seem strange that a brand that employs half-naked models to stand outside its stores and courted controversy with racy catalogs has come out with such a campaign against the hard partying cast. The news came as Abercrombie, based in New Albany, Ohio, reported strong second-quarter results, fueled by international growth. Sorrentino did not return requests for comment and there was no word at press time whether anyone in the cast accepted the offer. Associated Press ODD NEWS Thirsty boy gets lodged in chimney in quest for drink WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — An 8-year-old boy desperate for a drink tried to get into a neighbor's home by sliding down the chimney, but got stuck for more than four hours, authorities said. West Valley City police Sgt. Robert Hamilton said the thirsty boy climbed a tree to get onto the home's roof, then slid down the chimney feet first on Friday. The boy made it 30 feet down the chimney before he became wedged between the basement and main floor. Hamilton said the boy, who lives several blocks away, recently had been in the house for a play date with a grandchild visiting the family who lives there. The family, who had gone out to dinner, returned home to hear a boy crying in the chimney, Hamilton told the Salt Lake Tribune and Desertet News. Because of the narrowness of the chimney, as well as its twists and turns, rescuers could not pull out the child with a rope, Hamilton said. They cut an 8-by-5-foot hole "I was haunted by the fact we had this child in our chimney," said the homeowner, Richard Draper. The boy "was surprisingly very calm on scene. His only worry was he was still thirsty when we got there." Hamilton said. The boy was able to move his arms, so rescuers dropped water to him. in a wall to free the boy, who escaped with little more than scrapes and bruises. Hamilton said he didn't know who would pay for the repair the hole in the home. A firefighter carried the soot-covered boy to his mother, who reported him missing earlier.

Check out University social media services It's no surprise that social media and mobile apps have become crucial parts of the university life. For many of us, we couldn't imagine life without Facebook, we would be lost without our daily Twitter feed, and our chances to land the dream job plummet if LinkedIn never existed. Even if you're not an addict, social media connects you to those around you. And mobile apps make use of today's technology to help you thrive in today's fast-paced world. This is why you can benefit by using the University's social media service. es and the KU mobile app. Each school within the University has a Facebook and Twitter page. As a student, it's important to keep up with changes to graduation requirements, network with fellow students, and learn about job opportunities. By following your school's social media pages, you are in the loop. To do this, go to your school's official website and click on the social media buttons. Currently, the University's mobile app is a great resource for campus-dwellers. It has references for students like the bus and safe bus schedules, transcript requests and the student handbook. People attending football or basketball games can view information about parking. Fans of any University sport can check out the team's progress through the Athletics tab. The app gives new students a "Campus Tour" that leads you from the Kansas Union to the Art & Design Building, back to Smith Hall. And if you're bored, the Calendar tab lets you view the current day's campus events. Also, unlike most other universities' official apps, the KU app has engaging features like polls, the KU chant, and links to interesting facts and fun stuff. The KU mobile app is available on Apple and Android operating systems. Go to the App Store or Android Market to download it for free. Apps and social media are today's essential channels for information to come directly to you. Along with the University's app and social media pages, get hooked into our UDK app, "like" our Facebook page, and follow our Twitter accounts. Vikaas Shanker for the Kansan Editorial Board. WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER? Send your thoughts to vshanker® kansan.com to let the Editorial Board know. LIFESTLYE Top ten: Dos and Don'ts to start the semester Here are some pointers to help students start the semester off on a positive note: Jordan Gormley jgormley@kansan.com 1. Treat school like a full-time job. Wake up early, go to class, spend daytime hours on your studies, and reap the benefits. Enjoy your free evening instead of pulling an all-nighter. Dos. 2. Know your location on campus. While you're treating school like a full-time job, you'll get hungry. Fortunately in Lawrence, you can get nearly anything delivered. 4. Branch out. Interacting with unfamiliar social groups will help ease the transition from high 3. Gain responsibility. Whether it be a Greek organization or juggling club, being involved will help learn to be accountable as a member and prepare for real world job experiences. school to college. 6. Always call "seatback." In some ways, we never grow up. If there is one thing that pisses a person off more than anything, it is getting up for two minutes and returning to find the best heist since Daniel Ocean was on the big screen. Trust me, call "seatback." 5. Enjoy the festivities. The university offers many opportunities to attend sporting events, academic presentations, and free social events on campus. Check out calendarku.edu/events. 7. Establish a place where you always put your keys, phone, wallet, etc. What causes more anxiety than waking up and realizing you have no clue where your most valuable items are? Nothing. 8. Keep up with your hygiene. Just because mom isn't around to wipe your nose is not a valid excuse for a ghastly appearance. College is no place to dress like a bum. 9. Invest in headphones. The Parking Department makes it very difficult to park anywhere near class. Put your ear buds in and enjoy the walk. 10. Seize every opportunity that you are offered (within reason). Because your time here will be short. Don't take the college experience for granted. As Tom Petty once said, "Relax...The work never ends, but college does." Don'ts. 1. Don't tell your high school hero/prom queen stories during lecture. Just don't. Welcome to college. 2. Don't wear your wristband to class. Nobody cares that you went to the bar last night or how hard you blacked out. 3. Don't be afraid to learn new customs. A major advantage of KU is the diverse community it serves. Acknowledge diversity. Ignorance is never cool. 4. Don't always ride the bus. Buses are overcrowded and foul smelling, so I hear. Besides, the exercise will make you feel better. 5. Don't park illegally. Don't do it! The Parking Department will not stop until every rogue parker has been dealt with. They are watching. 6. Don't send your bank statements to your home address. Part of college is growing up. If you can't, make sure you get the email bank statement. If anything you'll save a tree. 7. Don't buy your books until you know you'll need them. Don't rent them either. If you buy them, you can at least sell them in a pinch. 8. Don't be a bad roommate. Your roomie bought some dishwasher soap, then you can buy a few rolls of toilet paper. Enough said. 9. Don't stay in your room all day. Video games and Netflix will isolate you from the college experience. 10. Don't shack in your first week. Who are we kidding? At least get it out of your system before classes commence. Jordan Gormley is a senior in political science and psychology from Hiawatha. Follow him on Twitter: @jlgormley. REDESIGN Rethinking the way we do things for you It's been nine months. Nine months of brainstorming, lunch meetings, consultations, approving ideas, scrapping those ideas and then brainstorming some more. Nine months of long nights in the newsroom, arguments over boundaries, coming to conclusions and then tweaking them. And tweaking them again. It's been nine months of "rethinking" what it is we do here at The University Daily Kansan. And we are about as excited as someone who has been waiting nine months for their child to be born to show you what we've done. But while we undertook this project as a rewamp of who we are, we concluded that our paper is more about you than it is about us. You the reader, the student, the Jayhawk. We made these changes for you. Here's a little tour of the aesthetic changes we have made to your UDK. Some over-arching changes you may have already noticed include; - A complete overhaul of our font palette. We are now using the more modern sans-serif Trade Gothic family. This is a major factor in our cleaner look. - Logos instead of mastheads. We now use movable, colorful logos to denote sections. News is now completely blue, sports is red, entertainment is green, and the opinion section now boasts a new orange. On the front pages of the sections, these new logos will help you know where to go for your favorite content. Looking for the latest about basketball? Look for the red. Looking for the crossword? Look for the green. Free for all will always be a Kansan classic, and it is now proudly highlighted in our opinion orange. And, of course, the color that often defines KU — blue — will be there to guide you to the latest news about campus and the area. On the front page, we have replaced our classic (but stagnant) mashead. This was a big move for us. When brainstorming ideas for how to make The UDK a Ben Pirotte bpirotte@kansan.com more readable, eye-catching product, the most important characteristic we wanted to be was modern.

"She chose those because, with her knowledge and experience, those investments will make the most sense long term for energy savings," said Beverlin. While a Jayhawk would never pass up an opportunity to beat a Wildcat, the true spirit of the Take Charge Challenge is to educate Kansas' students and residents about how energy conservation saves money and helps the environment. Since January, the combined total savings between Lawrence and Manhattan is more than $155,000. As for the impact of the Take Charge Challenge on Kansas' energy savings, Jeff Severin, the Director of the Center for Sustainability, said, "Moving forward from here, we're going to see the benefits in terms of people making ongoing changes and improvements to make sure that we continue forward with energy conservation and efficiency in mind."

INTERNATIONAL Libyan rebels capture Tripoli ASSOCIATED PRESS TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyan rebels raced into Tripoli in a lightning advance Sunday that met little resistance as Moammar Gadhafi's defenders melted away and his 40-year rule appeared to rapidly crumble. The euphoric fighters celebrated with residents of the capital in the city's main square, the symbolic heart of the regime. Opposition fighters captured Gadhafai's son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam. The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands said he would contact the rebels to discuss his handover for trial on charges of crimes against humanity. Associated Press reporters with the rebels said the fighters rebels easily advanced 20 miles on Sunday from the west, took town after town — welcomed by residents — overwhelmed a major military base, then swept into the capital in a stunning turning of the tide in the 6-month-old Libyan civil war. The fighters and Tripoli residents who support them flooded Green Square, shooting in the air in celebration, clapping and waving the rebels' tri-color flag, according to television footage of the scene. Some set fire to the green flag of Gadhafi's regime and shot holes in a poster with his image. "Now we don't call it the Green Square, but we call it the Martyrs Square," said Nour Eddin Shatouni, a 50-year-old engineer who was among the residents who flowed out of their homes to join the celebrations. "We were waiting for the signal and it happened. All mosques chanted 'God is great' all at once. We smelled a good scent, it is the smell of victory. We know it is the time." Green Square holds profound symbolic value. The regime has held pro-Gadhafi rallies there nearly every night since the revolt began in February, and the historic Red Fort that overlooks the square is a favorite scenic spot for the Libyan leader to deliver speeches to his loyalists. Thousands of Libyans also celebrated in the streets of Benghazi, the rebels' de facto capital in the east. Firing guns into the air and shooting fireworks, they cheered and waved the rebel tricolor flags, dancing and singing in the city's main square. Gadhafi's whereabouts Sunday were unknown. But he delivered a series of angry and defiant audio messages broadcast on state television, calling on his supporters to march in the streets of the capital and "purify it" from "the rats." He was not shown in the messages. His defiance raised the possibility of a last-ditch fight over the capital, home to 2 million people. Government spokesman Moussa ibrahim claimed the regime has "thousands and thousands of fighters" and vowed: "We will fight. We have whole cities on our sides. They are coming en masse to protect Tripoli to join the fight." But it appeared that key parts of Gadhafi's military were peeling away. In a sign of the coordination among rebels, as the main force moved into the city from the west, a second force of 200 opposition fighters from the city of Misrata further east landed by boat in the capital, bringing weapons and ammunition for Tripoli residents who join the rebellion, said Munir Ramzi of the rebels' military council in Misrata. The rebels' way into Tripoli was opened when the military unit in charge of protecting Gadhafi and the capital surrendered, ordering his troops to drop their weapons, the rebel information minister Mahmoud Shammam said. The rebels' speedy leap forward over just a few dramatic hours was a stunning reversal for Gadhafi, who earlier this month had seemed to have a firm grip on his stronghold in the western part of Libya, despite months of NATO airstrikes on his military. Rebels had been unable to make any advances for weeks, bogged down on the main fronts with regime troops in the east and center of the country. N A T O Secretary- General Anders Fogh Rasmussen oil reserves and just 6 million people. For years, he was an international pariah blamed for the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jumbo jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people. After years of denial, Gadhafi's Libya acknowledged responsibility, agreed to pay up to $10 million to relatives of each victim, and declared he would dismantle all weapons of mass destruction. "Now we don't call it the Green Square,but we call it the Martyrs Square" That eased him back into the international community. But on February 22, days after the uprising against him began, Gaddafi gave a televised speech amid violent social unrest against his autocratic rule. In the speech, he vowed to hunt down protesters "inch by inch, room by room, said Gadhafi's regime was "clearly crumbling" and that the time to create a new democratic Libya has arrived. The sooner Gadhafi "realizes that he cannot win the battle against his own people, the better," he said in a statement, adding that NATO will continue to strike his troops if they make "any threatening moves toward the Libyan people." NOUR EDDIN SHATOUNI Libyan citizen Gadhafi is the Arab world's longest-ruling, most erratic, most grimly fascinating leader — presiding for 42 years over this North African desert republic with vast home by home, alleyway by alleyway." The speech caused a furor that fueled the armed rebellion against him and it has been since mocked in songs and spoofs across the Arab world. The rebel force that moved toward Tripoli Sunday, taking town after town, was greeted by thousands of jubilant civilians who rushed out of their homes to cheer the long convos of pickup trucks packed with fighters shooting in the air. One man grabbed a rebel flag that had been draped over the hood of a slow-moving car and kissed it, overcome with emotion. Rebel chief Mustafa Abdel-Jallil in Benghazi confirmed to the AP that the rebels arrested Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam but refused to give the details of the capture. LAWRENCE AWARENESS Cars drive past the construction zone on Sixth Street. This summer, the city of Lawrence begin a three-phase project to improve the streets. ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN Sixth Street work nears completion IZZAT MAALI imaali@kansan.com Construction crews are entering the final stretch of street renovations in Lawrence. The Kansas Department of Transportation has been doing a lot of work this summer to finish the construction along Sixth Street. The department's project, which started in July, is a three-phase process that has been moving "incrementally to the west," said Dave Cronin, the project engineer. According to the City of Lawrence website, the construction is scheduled to finish in mid-september. - Phase one: Laying asphalt on Sixth Street between Massachusetts and Kentucky streets. - Phase two: Laying asphalt on Sixth Street between Kentucky and Missouri streets and adding a bus turnout on Sixth and Maine. - Phase three: Laying asphalt on Sixth Street from Missouri to Iowa streets and adding a turning lane and bus turnout on the northeast corner of Sixth and Michigan; widened the street and also added a 10-foot sidewalk on the south side of the street; added a few bus stops along Sixth Street. The department has already completed phase one and two and is currently working on phase three. The construction cost $1.2 million. The city of Lawrence paid $1 million and overlay highway rights helped pay the remaining cost. The street remodeling has caused inconvenience for some local businesses, though. Local taxi and transportation companies have experienced some delays from the construction and have had to use alternate routes to get around. According to a news release on the city website, there will be one open lane for traffic going each way until mid-September. Edited by Jayson Jenks It's NOT too late...

Other bands at the concert included Jane's Addiction, Incubus and Bush. KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Quiet Corral's Jesse Braswell Roberts sang into the microphone while beating on a drum alongside guitarist Isaac Flynn as the band's set ended. The Lawrence-based band's small audience crowded around the second stage and seemed to expand the longer they played at Buzz Beach Ball, held Fri day night at LIVESTRONG Sport ing Park in Kansas City, Kan. The audience, a mix of fans as well as people hearing the band for the first time, gathered to see and hear the kind of performance that has garneredquiet Corrala large local fan base and gigs across the country. And they did not leave disappointed. awesome. Andrew Perkins, a fan from Shawnee, said that Quiet Corral is "I bought their CD off of Iunes a while ago and loved it," he said. Other members of the audience were unfamiliar with the band and showed up to hear headliners Bush, Incubus and Jane's Addiction. Performances were staggered throughout the night and over two stages, making it easy to listen to all the bands performing. "I have no idea who these guys are, but they sound really good," attendee Rachel Miller said. Miller walked over to where Quiet Corral was setup after AWOLNATION, an indie rock band, finished playing on the main stage. Band members were excited about the opportunity to play to a new crowd and with big name bands that have been stars of the alternative rock scene since the 90s. Flynn said one highlight of the night for Quiet Corral was getting to meet artists they had grown up idolizing, like Tom Morello. LIVESTRONG Sporting Park is the largest venue the band has played, and the scale of the event caused some technical difficulties. The volume of the band's music on the other stage made it difficult for Quiet Corral to perform a sound-check, which resulted in a sound problem for the first two songs. But it was not enough to ruin the band's experience. “There was a time when I looked up and thought 'Wow, I'm playing in a stadium right now,' Flynn said. "We definitely hope to continue to play events like that and play with bands of that caliber."

PARKING AND TRANSIT — Edited by Mandy Matney TRAGEDY Stunt pilot dies in Kansas City ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City's annual air show took to the skies again Sunday, a day after spectators were sent home when a stunt pilot crashed to the ground while performing loops and spirals in his small plane. Sunday's performance opened with a tribute to pilot Bryan Jensen, including a rendition of taps and planes flying in missing man formation. The day's show was dedicated to him. The Minnesota native was killed Saturday afternoon when his biplane named "The Beast" traced to pull out of a dive and crashed into a fiery ball on the grass next to a runway at Wheeler Downtown Airport. Thousands of spectators at the Kansas City Aviation Air Show fell into a hush after Jensen's plane hit the ground, and event organizers immediately shut performances down for the day. Jeff Caddell said he met Jensen four years ago and considered him to be an extraordinary pilot who loved interacting with people as much as he did flying. "Bryan was nothing but a class act kind of guy. He loved people so much and loved seeing them have a great time," said Caddell, who organizes the annual Wings Over Ashville air show in Alabama. "I would see Bryan take special time out with the public to answer questions, and he did it on a level that made you feel special — unlike how some public figures do." Authorities have not released Jensen's age and hometown. Caddell said Jensen often participated in air shows with his girlfriend, C.C. Gerner, who also is a stunt pilot. According to Jensen's website, he had more than 23,000 hours of commercial flight time and had been flying aerobatics for 15 years. Caddell said his last memory of Jensen was after an air show when a little boy came up to talk to him. According to Gerner's website, she was scheduled to be at the Kansas City air show this weekend. When The Associated Press reached Gerner by phone Sunday afternoon, she said she wasn't ready to talk about Jensen's crash. Jensen announced on his website, www.beairstairs.com, in January that he had been promoted to captain with Delta Airlines. A spokeswoman with Delta told the AP on Sunday she knew about his crash but couldn't confirm he worked for the airline because there were no human resources staff available to verify it. "Bryan got on one knee to have a picture made with the boy and stayed kneeled down to talk with him for a bit," Caddell said. "That was Bryan. "Someone would come up to him and ask a basic question that a lot of people would hesitate to ask. He would take the time to answer on a level that anyone would understand. A lot of times other guys would blow you off." The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash, but show director Ed Novaliyi said there's nothing to indicate that weather or other outside factors contributed to the crash. Officials said Saturday's fatal crash was the first ever recorded at the Kansas City air show. Sunday's show went off without any problems.

Edited by Joel Petterson BURLEY If an athlete of similar caliber to Robinson were to announce today that he or she was gay, it would be an even bigger victory than the legislation in New York. While there is still racism in this country, having jackie Robinson break the color barrier was one of the greatest moments for sports and for this country. While there was outrage, Robinson became one of the most celebrated athletes of our time. What I am calling for is more acceptance and tolerance, especially in sports. One simple action by a high-profile athlete could pay more dividends than any legislation could.

In June, the Chicago Cubs joined in the San Francisco Giants in creating a video for the "It Gets Better" campaign, a project intended to call for an end to LGBT bullying and harassment. Shortly after, the Boston Red Sox also created a video for the project, which was launched in September 2010 in response to a string of suicides by teenagers who identified as gay or were perceived as being gay. PHOTOS BY HANNAH WISE/KANSAN The sports world already has made some efforts to address the issue. San Francisco felt the need to participate because lifelong fan Sean Chapin started an online petition. The Cubs became part of the campaign because Laura Rickett, co-owner of the Cubs, became the first openly gay owner of a professional sports team in 2009. This is a step in the right direction, and certain players have made individual efforts to promote equality as well. Football Hall-of-Famer Michael Irvin supports gay rights and said he would support any athlete who comes out. New York Ranger Sean Avery has backed marriage equality for some time now and has received some criticism for it. More athletes are coming out, but many have retired or aren't the stars of the league. I'm still waiting for the day when all-star from MLB, the NBA or the NFL comes out to the public. As much as we don't want to admit it, sports are an integral part of society. Americans follow them with such a close eye that any slip, e.g. Tiger Woods, is endlessly scrutinized. We've seen former WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes come out. We've seen Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir come out. We've seen World Golf Hall of Famer Kara Webb come out. Sports are so far behind the curve of society. The sports world tends to latch on to cultural changes years after they are effected. However, if more athletes come out and say they support equality or say they are gay, I think more people will accept it. Children look up to athletes. If an athlete wants equality, I would think young fans would want the same thing. They would think that it's OK, because their favorite player thinks it's OK. I think the reason more players don't come out is they don't want to be ostracized, but overcoming those fears could go a long way in changing perception of minority sexual identities within sports, as well as in society. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com PRAIRIE. VILLAGE — The pounding of pads on the field means it's promotion time for Kansas Athletics off the field. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, Athletics Director Sheaon Zenger, basketball coach Bill Self and football coach Turner Gill all spoke to fans in an effort to campaign for the upcoming football season in Prairie Village. The fifth annual KU Kickoff Rally drew several hundred KU fans. Gray-Little opened the speeches with a quick message to the fans. Her main message instructed the crowd to come to the team's first game on Sept. 3 against McNeese State. Zenger covered a couple of Kansas topics during his speech, including what the athletics department was working on. Zenger explained doing things the "Kansas Way," which he defined as having substance over image, under promising and over producing, and working hard. A popular topic of recent times — the state of the Big 12 — also received attention from Zenger. "It's time for the University of Kansas to take its rightful place as a leader in this conference," Zenger said. "Whether it's basketball, football, soccer, or tidlywinks, we will compete." the crowd with his speech as he routinely compi- mented the leadership in the athletics department. Self also made a plug Bill Self followed and sent waves of confidence through for fans attending games this year. "It's time for the University of Kansas to take its rightful place as a leader in this conference." Gill then told the crowd why Then Turner Gill took the stage. Like the previous speakers, Gill stressed wanting fans to get in the seats. Gill also related the team to the crowd,naming every KU football player from Kansas City — 14 in all. "I, encourage everybody to buy tickets and get your butts in the seats," Self said. "We need you to be good." they should continue to be fans of the football team. He told them the team has improved talent-wise and in knowledge of the schemes. He explained that the team knows how to compete, has toughness and has a great work ethic. Speed has been a popular topic for Gill to talk about SHEAHON ZENGER Athletics Director this fall, and Friday was no exception as Gill told the crowd about the teams added speed and playmakers. On a day in which the chancellor, athletic director, basketball coach and football coach came to promote the upcoming football season and athletics department as a whole. Gill said days like this are for getting to know the fans. "It shows that I appreciate them," Gill said. "I want to connect with ours fans. I owe it to them." Edited by Jayson Jenks KU KU Kanyon SPORTS ADMINISTRATION Zenger takes over changing athletics department Index KORY CARPENTER ccarpenter@kansan.com A native of Hays and holder of the University of Kansas Ph.D., Sheahon Zenger arrived back in Lawrence in January after various football coaching stints across the country as well a six-year tenure as the director of athletics at Illinois State University. With a relatively short time on the job as athletic director, Zenger sees his background in coaching as an asset when dealing with coaches on a day-to-day basis. "For me, it just comes more naturally to interact with coaches when you have been one," he said last week. FEDERAL ASSOCIATION OF CENTER FOR INFORMATION AND STUDIES IN COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY That interaction isn't easy for both parties, however. One of Zenger's initial goals is to have every team consistently in the top half of the Big 12. Some coaches — Bill Self comes immediately to mind — are bastions of consistency, Others, like women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson, have struggled. Henrickson has a total win percentage below .500 and has failed to make the NCAA tournament since arriving in Lawrence in 2004. Dr. Sheahen Zanger was hired in January to replace former Athletics Director Lou Perkins. Dr. Zenger served as Athletics Director at Illinois State University for five years. "I just hope that she and the team and the staff can come together for a special season." Zenger said. Regarding Self, who is looking for his eighth consecutive regular-season Big 12 title in 2012, Zenger had nothing but praise, saying he's the easiest coach to work with and singing out his people skills, motivation and high level of success. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Dealing with on-court successes and failures isn't the whole story, however. Not in today's multi-billion dollar college sports world. "When you're in the world of athletics, you sort of have one foot in higher education and one foot in the business world," Zenger noted. "You have to stay tuned in to both worlds." One of his major priorities is revamping Memorial Stadium, the oldest college campus football stadium west of the Mississippi River. Removing the track around the field as well as re-examining the construction of the Gridiron Club — football suites which were originally planned for completion last fall — were discussed. Zenger noted that the club is under review as the staff looks at various strategies regarding Memorial Stadium improvements. Staying in tune with both the education and business side of Kansas Athletics Inc. has certainly come into play recently with conference realignment talks once again pushed to the front burner. Fellow Big 12 member Texas A&M has reportedly been in talks with the SEC conference, and the fate of the Big 12 has been in question. With Kansas and Kansas State rumored to be a package deal should the Big 12 fail, Zenger's history with both schools (he has both a bachelor's and master's degree from Kansas State) has been a topic of discussion among Kansas fans. "We need to always evaluate what's best for this institution," he said. "We're committed to the Big 12 conference and Kansas State is a part of that conference." NBA lockout could bring alumni back to campus On a lighter note, rumors have surfaced of a possible alumni basketball game before the season. With the NBA currently in a lockout, many former KU players have spent time in Lawrence working out. "We're exploring a number of opportunities." Zenger said of the possible game. "The administrative staff is working with ccach Self and his staff to see if there are some possibilities for something that could be fun for the students, alumni, and everyone involved."

Smells like fall out there. The humidity is beginning to fade, the sound of pads hitting each other can be heard on the hill, and the entire sporting universe begins to ready itself for a new season. College football is around the corner, and now that NFL players and owners have decided to agree on something, we have professional football too. While you Chiefs fans out there will likely be optimistic for this year, I will continue to hide behind a shaky offensive line and a bust of a quarterback that comes with being a San Francisco 49ers fans these days. Even though the football team's record may not improve this season, I still expect them to play harder and be more competitive. There is talent at the skill positions and I'm looking forward to seeing our monster offensive line recruiting class.

He had a Twitter account made for him by senior tight end Ted McNulty — an account that was deleted with one forced click just 12 hours later. On Aug. 3 coach Turner Gill banned the Kansas football team from using Twitter. The players were told to delete their accounts and subsequently delete all of the followers they had gained over their accounts history - a deed that was particularly painful for the players like senior receiver Daymond Patterson and junior receiver AJ Steward, who had more than 1,000 followers. "I know Daymond wasn't too happy about it and some of the guys are missing it quite a bit," junior wide receiver Kale Pick said. While the players were initially upset about losing their privileges to the site, the ban on Twitter ensures that the team will not have any distractions with the website during the year, but Gill may also have another motive. "With all the rules like that, I think it does make everya lot more accountable, because people are watching people's backs more," sophomore defensive end Keeba Agostinho said. Accountability has been a top priority for Gill and his staff. The stricter rules have made the players more aware of their actions and the consequences that come with them. That accountability translates to the football field as well, as increased discipline can only lead to good things. "I've been around championship football," Gill said. "I think I really like when the people in our football team takes care of themselves. They make each other accountable. When that starts to happen then I think our team is going to move forward in a faster way." The players realize the rule "For a second, right when he said it we were a little upset about it, but after that, we realized that it's a sacrifice we had to make for the team so we just kind of forgot about it and let it go," Patmon said. The sacrifice has been made, as the fans and players lose out on some fun off the field with the Twitter ban, but in the end, that process may help lead to a better product on the field. changes are only there to help them, as Agostinho, Pick, and junior cornerback Tyler Patmon all agreed that the Twitter ban is a good idea, albeit they weren't all sold initially. "That's the first big step and I see our players keeping each other accountable," Gill said. "We're starting to have that process going and that makes me feel good about where we're going."

On Saturday, Webb debuted with his new title at the Family Fun Fest scrimmage at Memorial Stadium. The announcement came after a quarterback competition between Webb and senior Webb A. R. S. M. P. K. quarterback Quinn Mecham that lasted throughout the off-season. Webb and Mecham alternated possessions for the majority of the scrimmage. "We just felt that this was the appropriate time," Gill said. "He has been definitely ahead of everybody from start to finish, and also went back to the spring, we took a lot of that into consideration too. I wanted to see him come back more consistent this fall and he did that." The offense focused on its rushing attack for most of the day, but Webb did get a chance to show off his skills through the air, including a nice completion to junior wide receiver Kale Pick for a first down on third and long. "We're still trying to get better and I think he did some good things and that's why he is our guy," Gill said. Freshmen running backs Brandon Bourban and Anthony Pierson stood out in the scrimmage. Bournan reached the endzone twice, and Pierson scored once and electrified the crowd with his speed and elusiveness. Freshman defensive back Adonis Saunders had an interception where he out-jumped the seven-inch taller sophomore wide receiver Neal Barlow on an underthrown ball by freshman quarterback Mike Cummings. To end the scrimmage, placekickers sophomore Ron Doherty and freshman Alex Mueller made 45-yard field goals. Doherty's came from the right hash mark and Mueller's from the left. — Edited by Josh Kantor 64 CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon breaks through the defensive line while playing in the Kansas football scrimmage at Memorial Stadium Saturday morning.

Throughout the game, both teams battled each other and the humidity, but the game was ultimately decided by a Volunteers penalty kick with 2:44 remaining in overtime, catapulting Tennessee to a 2-1 victory over the Jayhawks. Tennessee's Caroline Brown hammered home the goal into the left side past Jayhawks goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau. It was an anticlimatic finish to an intensely played match. "I thought our energy today, our intensity and commitment to compete was excellent," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "It was a real battle of will just to keep plugging away. I thought our kids showed a lot of character." A semi-strong north wind affected a lot of the shot making in the first half, and even though the Jayhawks were going in the opposite direction, they were able to chalk up their first goal of the year. Freshman forward Jamie Fletcher scooted the ball past the Volunteer goalkeeper Julie Eckel in the 15th minute. "I was ecstatic," Fletcher said. "I wasn't expecting to score my first goal in my first game, especially in my freshman year." Junior forward Whitney Berry also contributed to the play by recording her first assist of the season. Kansas took early momentum with six of the first seven shots in the game. Nonetheless, Tennessee countered with five consecutive shots of their own. One of those shots included a corner kick by Caroline Brown that was knocked in the back of the Kansas net by Jayhawks midfielder Liana Salazar for an own goal in the 33rd minute. The game was relatively even throughout. Kansas had a 15-14 shot advantage over Tennessee. The two teams both had six corner kicks. "We had a lot of intensity and a lot of effort," sophomore defender Madi Hillis said. "It was a little disappointing with the loss, but other than that I thought we did well." The organization on defense significantly improved since the exhibition game against Butler. One of the big reasons was the return of sophomore defender Brittany King and sophomore midfielder Amy Grow to the back line. "I think having the two of them back there made a big difference" Francis said. In the second half of the game, both teams botched several opportunities to score. The Volunteers tallied up three big missed opportunities, including a goal by Caroline Brown that was nullified for offsides. The Jayhawks' best chance came in the overtime when freshman forward Ingrid Vilid went one on one with Julie Eckel, but she mishandled the ball inside the box. Despite the loss, the girls were pleased with their performance, and said that if they worked on a few things before their next game, the result may be different. Edited by C.J.

After an overtime loss to Tennessee in the season opener on Friday, the team showed increased confidence, putting together an impressive offensive attack. Fletcher tied the game at one goal apiece after junior midfielder Whitney Berry and sophomore forward Caroline Kastor helped guide the ball downfield. "I thought we looked really good. We scored some pretty good goals. Our guys took some chances," coach Mark Francis said. "I told the biggest thing today is we played a complete 90 minutes. On Friday we played really well periods of the game and I thought today we did what we talked about doing." The game started slowly for the both offenses, but the Razorbacks scored first when Sam Wolf converted a corner kick from fellow freshman defender Tyler Allen in the 17th minute. Twenty minutes went by before Kansas scored again. In the second half, the floodgates opened for the Jayhawks, as they put up three goals in 30 minutes. Berry finished the game with two assists. Another strength was the stability of the back line. The team only allowed one goal early in the contest. Fletcher scored her second goal of the day and third of the weekend when she kicked in a ricochet "Everybody defended — it wasn't just the defenders working today," junior defender Shelby Williamson said. The Jayhawks quickly responded, scoring off a goal of their own four minutes later. "We've still got some work to do there, don't get me wrong," Francis said. "We looked better today than Friday so were definitely making some progress." Kansas travels to San Diego next weekend to play in the USD Tournament. The team's first match is against Southern California on Friday. They will also play against the host school on Sunday. After posting one goal in the season opener and following with four against Arkansas, Francis and the team know they have made improvements. "She's going to be a dangerous player for us. I love the way she battles — she's not just a goal scorer. She fights and scraps as well," Francis said. Before this weekend the coaching staff encouraged Fletcher to be more aggressive around the goal. Edited by Laura Nightengale "Today things just went our way," Fletcher said. "We weren't unlucky and we were just possessing the ball so well goals came easy today." She directed the ball with her left foot just inside the right post for the jayhawks' fourth goal. Sophomore midfielder Amy Grow put the Jayhawks up 3-1 with a well-placed ball that soared right over the Arkansas goalkeeper's head and into the top right corner of the net. One game highlight included a full extension save by Stroud that blocked the ball from going into the upper corner of the goal. from sophomore forward Caroline Kastor at the 48th minute. The team's final goal came when senior forward Kortney Clifton put her first goal of the season on the score sheet in the 78th minute. "It was great. I wasn't really expecting it," she said. "I'd been taking shots all game and nothing was really going my way." 23 COLDWATER FLATS SECURITY DEPOSIT SPECIAL! 14TH & TENNESSEE ONE BEDROOM MURDO LEADING & HAPPY NOW ROLLINS PLACE SECURITY DEPOSIT SPECIAL! 14TH & TENNESSEE TWO BEDROOM 1930s MACKENZIE PLACE SEPTEMBER RENT FREE! 1133 KENTUCKY THREE BEDROOM PRIVATE PARKING, GREAT LOCATIONS, CLOSE TO CAMPUS & DOWNTOWN First Management LAND MANAGEMENT PAGE 6B MONDAY AUGUST 22, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MEN'S BASKETBALL Former Jayhawks play in Europe KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Three former Kansas basketball players have officially agreed to terms with professional teams in Europe for the 2011-2012 season. Guard Tyrel Reed signed a one-year deal with VOO Veriwers-Pepinster of the Ethias League in Belgium last Wednesday, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. A Burlington native, Reed was a First Team Academic All-American selection his senior season. He holds the distinction of being the winningest player in school history, collecting 132 wins in four seasons. Reed averaged 6.3 points per game in his career at KU and was part of four Big 12 regular season titles. He finished his career ninth on KU's all-time three point list, connecting on 176 in his career. Russell Robinson, a prominent member of the 2008 national championship team, signed with French team JSF Nanterre of the French Pro A-League on Friday. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Robinson originally signed with the NBA's Houston Rockets in 2008 and had spent time in the NBA Developmental League, as well as stints in Turkey and Spain. A native of New York City and a former high school All-American, Robinson averaged 7.1 points per game and was a two-time All-Big 12 defensive team member in his four seasons at KU. Sherron Collins, another solid contributor for the 2008 championship squad, agreed to terms with Hacettepe Universitesi of Turkey on Aug. 12 according to eurobasket.com. Collins signed a two year deal with the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA after going undrafted in 2010. He appeared in 20 games for Charlotte last season, averaging 0.9 points per game before being released in February. Bobcats coach Paul Silas said the team planned on re-signing Collins in March, but two missed flights from his hometown of Chicago to Charlotte forced the organization to find a replacement, signing guard Garrett Temple instead, according to reports from the Kansas City Star. Now Collons will compete in the Turfish Basketball League, Turkey's top men's league. Although not yet official, former guard Brady Morningstar acknowledged that reports of him playing the 2011-2012 season in Greece are true, reports the Lawrence Journal-World. A former Lawrence Free State standout, Morningstar averaged 5.6 points per game at KU and was a member of five Big 12 regular season titles. The contract is not official and no terms have been disclosed, but Morningstar acknowledged that the deal is with a team in Greece's top professional league.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Young team ready for start of season KANSAS KANSAS VOLLEYBALL Sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael of the Crimson team delivers an attack on the Blue team during Saturday's scrimmage. Carmichael a total of 12 kills for the afternoon. Kansas opens at home Sept. 2 against Belmont. The volleyball team opens its season on the road on Aug. 26 in Athens, Ga., at the University of Georgia Bulldogs Invitational. At the fall Olympic sports media day on Aug. 17., Bechard discussed the importance of leadership from the upperclassmen on his sophmore-heavy team. "I'm extremely excited about the culture in the gym, the work ethic and what we're trying to get done," Bechard said. "We're going to count on three seniors." The Jayhawks finished last season with a 3-0 sweep of the nationally-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, putting their overall record at 17-14. The Sooners went on to make the Sweet 16, and the Jayhawks watched the tournament from home. That sweep could give the Jayhawks confidence in a new-look Big 12, but some players are not looking too much into how last season ended. "I thought it was great to get the team on the floor in front of a live crowd, live refs and a game environment," coach Ray Bechard said. "This gave us some more info about our team and will continue to help us prepare for next weekend when we start up for real." Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc had 11 kills, senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield had nine of her own and the Blue team defeated the Crimson team on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, 25-18, 18-25, 25-19. The exhibition pitted Jayhawk against Jayhawk as a conclusion to the team's preseason two-a-day practice schedule. MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com "We just need to focus on ourselves because every team changes," jarmoc said. "Oklahoma The upperclassmen on the volleyball team have been raving about team chemistry since organized practices began two weeks ago. Saturday's Crimson and Blue exhibition provided a glimpse of that chemistry with the regular season opener just six days away. "Once again, there are the two newcomers who are physically gifted," Bechard said. "They haven't seen a Big 12 match, the speed of the play or any of those things. McClinton is 6-foot-2 and Albers is 6-foot-1. (Karina Garlington and (Jenna) Kaiser had some offensive skills, but these two bring some other skills, physically." Bechard said replacing Garlington and Kaiser will be by committee until the freshmen are ready, Junior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree said adjusting to the speed of the college game is something that should not be taken for granted. "Everyone says once you get to college, everything is faster and quicker," Tolefree said. "In high school and club you think you are fast and can jump high, but when you get here and everyone is faster and jumps higher. It's all about getting used to it and being relentless." has obviously lost people so it's a new team every season. I think it's more focusing on us and how strong we are coming back and with our new additions. We're all very hopeful and you can feel it in practice. We all have higher expectations and we push each other more." Jarmoc said the tournament in Athens will be a great way to prepare for Big 12 play, which begins Sept. 24 in Austin, Texas, against the Longhorns. "I love tournaments. They are a great way to work the kinks out because you play consecutively one game after another," Jarmoc said. "You don't have long day breaks.

On the bus ride back to Lawrence they took the opportunity to contact friends and family with their first chance for internet access in over a week. Even so, some of their first communication was with the teammates that they had traveled with as junior forward Carolyn Davis and sophomore guard Keera Mays tweeted each other from feet away. "It was really good that we got to spend 10 days where it was just us no phones, so we had no distractions so we were just hanging out and it was good for us on and off the court," Davis said. During their nine-day trip the Jayhawks celebrated birthdays, saw George Clooney's house at Lake Como and enjoyed Italy as tourists. "We saw all these things you only see in movies," Davis said. "It was amazing." After visiting the tourist spots, the jayhawks played three games against Italian teams. Kansas won all three games by wide margins including a 110-25 victory over Selezione Lombardi on Wednesday night in Varese. The Jayhawks came from behind and defeated Roma Selezione in their first two games. As they played, the team had to adjust to the more physical play of Italian basketball. "They are learning really quick and doing what they are told," Davis said. "They are just giving us what they have right now." While adjusting to European play, they also had to work with new team dynamics after adding five freshmen for the fall season. Though the competition was difficult, freshman guard Bunny Williams said she was impressed at how much the team improved over the three game span. Playing these games gave the team extra time before the season started to work together and learn the system of coach Bonnie Henrickson. "It was a good opportunity because we got to see what practice is like and the pregame routine, I feel like we are ahead of everybody," Williams said. Freshman guard Asia Boyd enjoyed the chance to learn quickly and spend time with her teammates. "It was a good experience playing with the older kids," Boyd said. "We took everything in and tried to grow every game."

Then, Los Angeles. Now, Lawrence? It seems as though the cupcake craze that started on the coasts has made its way to town. Cupcake Construction Company, 727 Massachusetts St., opened its doors here in early May. Now, Billy Vanilly Cupcakes is setting up shop just blocks away, at 914 Massachusetts St. "It it's trendy, but it's retro at the same time," said Allyson Fiander, owner of Billy Vanily, which will open in Lawrence in mid- or late September. The pint-sized treats first started gaining traction about three years ago. And they're still a hot commodity. According to the Wall Street Journal, Crumbs, a New York-based cupcake chain, did $31 million in sales in 2010. TV viewers have their choice between "Cupcake Wars," "D.C. Cupcakes" and "The Cupcake Girls." And in November 2009, London-based research firm Mintel predicted cupcake sales would grow 20 percent over the next five years. Michael Kriesfeld, co-owner of Cupcake Construction Company, thinks that the trend is hotter than ever. "As long as people keep referring to things as 'the next cupcake,' that means cupcake is still the No. 1 thing," Kricsfeld said. Kricsfeld said that summer business was good at his bakery, where customers get to decide their cupcake's flavor, filling, frosting and toppings. And rather than feeling threatened by Billy Vanily moving to town, he said he was excited to see it open. "The more people think cupcakes," the more people offering cupcakes will benefit," Kricsfeld said. Fiander, who opened the first Billy Vanilly location in Topeka four years ago, said that she thought the two bakeries were different enough that they could appeal to different people. "Some people may like to design their own cupcake, whereas others might like our pre-designed flavors more." Fiander said. In addition to cupcakes, Billy Vanilly offers cakes and other pastries, such as muffins and scones. Flander said her bakery also stressed the use of local and organic ingredients in its products. could appeal to cash-strapped college students.

The state Agriculture Department says the theft occurred sometime Thursday night near the Marshall County town of Beattie (BAY-'tee). The locker's owner says hamburger and hogs that were taken had been processed earlier in the day and might not have been frozen. Among the items taken were 250 pounds of ground beef, up to 150 pounds of bacon, several hundred dollars' worth of beef jerky, three custom hogs and a gun. TRIPOLL LIBYA Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was nowhere to be found Monday as his 42-year rule teetered on the brink of collapse. Months of MONSA airstrikes have left his Bab al-Aizyiza compound in Tripoli largely demolished. Most of his security forces sifted or surrendered when rebel forces rolled into the capital Sunday night and took control of most of the city. Three of his sons were arrested. A mood of joy mixed with tridipation settled over the capital, with the rebels still fighting pockets of fierce resistance from regime loyalists firing mortars and anti-aircraft guns. Rebel spokesman Mohammed Abdel-Rahman, who was in Tripiol, said the "danger is still there" as long as Gadhafi remains on the run. PIBOR.

South Sudan became the world's newest country in July, amid high hopes that it would leave its violent past behind.

SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com Hypnotist puts students in a trance Thirty KU students lay in a hypnotized state on the Lied Center stage on Monday. An audience of about two hundred watched their every move. Hypnotist Michael C. Anthony commanded the hypnotized students into believing they were in a deep sleep, on a hot beach and witnesses to a floating water bottle. At one point, the men in the hypnotized group believed they were giving birth. "I knew what was happening." Amelia Wilson, a sophomore from Baldwin, said of being on stage, "but I didn't care." Wilson said she was aware of the audience but did not feel like she was performing for them. "Normally, I'm really giggly, but I felt very calm," Wilson said. Anthony made Paul Bender, a senior from Lawrence, believe he had a different name. "He made me call myself Cha Cha," Bender said. Anthony convinced Bender that Bender was very proud of his name, a name he shared with his father and grandfather. As a result, Bender angrily corrected Anthony every time he mispronounced or forgot that his name was Cha Cha. Bender says he remembers everything that he was made to believe but no longer believes it. "I'm saying such crazy, ridiculous things that they will only believe them temporarily" Anthony said. Anthony was trained in neuro-linguistic programming and Ericksonian Hypnosis at a neurolinguistic programming center in Canada. "They teach you to do therapy, not entertainment," Anthony said. Anthony says in order to learn how to pull off the stunts he now performs, he has had to experiment. "My first show, I had never done anything like it before," Anthony said. "I knew all the concepts, but I'd never say, turned someone into tarzan. My first show actually went well. It's like a comedian. If he's up there sweating, no one will think he's funny." - Edited by Jayson Jenks All College Students MEMBERSHIP PRICES FOR THE LAWRENCE ATHLETIC CLUB Tired of crowded work out facilities & waiting in line for equipment?

Ann Hartley, associate director of the Career Center, said that if a job in a specific department is not listed, the student can also contact the department to find out more information. To apply, students can create an online application that can be saved and edited.

Tenant Joe Moderski says he thought he had missed a pillow fight because there were so many feathers in the hallway of the Upper West Side building. Moderski says he arrived By Dave Green home around 3:30 p.m. Sunday to find the hawk outside his top-floor apartment. He says the hawk flew at him, just missing his face, so he took off running. Searchers have tried to lure Yvonne into the open with food, with the bellows of her son Friesi and her sister Waltraud, even with a prospective mate named Ernst. Scores of volunteers are combing upper Bavaria's woods for her. The freedom-loving cow ran away from a little farm in Bavaria in May and has managed to hide successfully in the forests of southern Germany ever since — despite her sturdy 1,500-pound (700-kilogram) figure. The six-year-old animal would have never made national headlines if it hadn't been for a near-collision with Locals have reported a few sightings of the brown dairy cow with the white head, but every time search teams have tried to capture her, Vyonna had already hoofed it from the area. ODD NEWS BERLIN, Germany — A runaway cow named Yvonne is on the loose in Germany and the manhunt — or moohunt — for the Bavarian bovine has captivated the country. a police car days after she broke away. The rural district office in Muehldorf reacted by labeling the big-eyed bovine a public danger and ordering her shot on sight. In the wake of all the attention, the order to shoot Yvonne has been suspended. That prompted animal-rights activists to rally to her defense. A Facebook page calling for Yvonne's rescue had more than 23,000 "likes" by Friday, and Germany's biggest-selling newspaper, Bild, has offered a euro 10,000 ($14,369) award on its front page for anyone who helps find Yvonne. A Bavarian animal sanctuary has bought Yvonne from her former owners — sight unseen, of course — and is taking the lead in trying to rescue her. "We're hot on her tail," it reported Friday. Meanwhile, a song by local band Gnadenkapelle has become an instant radio hit. 2010 Concept Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc. "Why don't you leave Yvonne alone, she's only a runaway cow... You wild cow, don't let them take your freedom," they sing.

Sam Brownback recommended that state universities — including the University of Kansas — should improve their national rankings by focusing on programs that will provide highly skilled and qualified graduates to Kansas. He also suggested institutions make tough choices and focus on improving the standing of top programs, even if it weakens other curricula. It's a good plan. And I support the University on striving to exceed expectations, improve national rankings, and serve as a conduit to Kansas. However, the administration must remember that this plan must not come at the expense of its most important asset: students. Brownback shows commitment to higher education by suggesting a 50-person task force of Kansas' leaders meet to help the University accomplish its longterm strategy. But while the administration answers to the Board of Regents, and ultimately Brownback, Brownback's interests and goals don't always intersect with the University. The University's mission states that it "serves as a center for learning, scholarship, and creative endeavor." It also "first serves Kansas, then the nation and the world through research, teaching, and the preservation and dissemination of knowledge" But if the administration puts more resources in the pharmacy and business programs as Brownback suggested, vital programs with lower enrollment, such as the School of Music and School of Law, shouldn't have to suffer. The U.S. News & World Report rankings shouldn't be the only factor leading to the siphoning of resources from one academic program to another. The rankings are sometimes criticized for an overemphasis on prestige, basing broad judgements off limited information and only looking at numbers rather than the entire college experience that often determines student success. While these rankings and an institution's prestige are key factors for students choosing a college or university, the student experience and traditions drives crucial contributions and alumni activity. The reallocation of college resources toward top programs should not harm student activities, clubs, organizations, athletics or other areas of the University that encourage individuality. The administration should first look to make existing programs more efficient It should ask, "Are the leading programs in our institution running at top capacity?" before deciding to shift focus. Belt tightening decreases budget woes and leads to creative problem solving by administrators. It's the responsibility of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's administration to ensure that the University keeps up and improves its reputation. As long as students are kept as the University's top priority, alongside its duties to the state, our rankings will rock chalk to the top. Vikaas Shanker for The Kansan editorial board FOOD FARM A CONTRIBUTED BY JASON CUPP Willie Nelson hosted the Farm Aid concert in Kansas this year. The concert helps to promote awareness of local foods. Farm Aid brings awareness of where food comes from Willie Nelson hosted the Farm Aid concert in Kansas for the first time earlier this month at the LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City. The cause was simple — to promote awareness of the foods we eat and to continue to help farmers in this agricultural movement — but the message was not. I had never heard about Farm Aid before until one of my friends asked me to go to the concert. A concert? Of course I'm there. Then I started to do research on Farm Aid and learned that the organization has actually been around since 1985 and that Nelson started it with Neil Young and John Mellencamp. The concert is a way to attract people to learn more about the origins of their food, how to look for local farm produce and simply to ask themselves, "Where is this food coming from?" Some people may go to the grocery store thinking, "Today is going to be the day I'm going to start eating really healthy, buy some organic fruit and vegetables and feel By Mike Montano mmontano@kansan.com good about what I'm putting in my body." Then you look at the prices of organic foods, do a double take, walk past them and pick the regular fruit and vegetable options. Prices are high because it takes more effort and time to grow foods free of pesticides, and because demand is relatively low for organic produce. A line from the documentary "Food, Inc." still sticks with me today — "Eating is the most intimate thing we can do for our bodies." It's true; so why are we careless about the food we put into our bodies when we care so much about what we put on our bodies like clothes, tattoos, cologne and makeup? Shouldn't our logic be reversed? Farm Aid hopes to put an end to food conglomerates by putting the power back in the hands of individuals. The organization promotes local farmers' produce, which gives people a healthier life is a better option than produce grown with pesticides. Since its inception, Farm Aid has raised more than $39 million through concerts and events to help farmers compete with the goliaths of the food industry. would have never known about this powerful Good Food Movement. It's making me question where my food comes from, and how a few extra bucks at the grocery store can produce major benefits in the long run. I don't want to contribute any more of my money to big food chains because that I'm just a blip on their radar, but for local farmers, I am one of their strongest contenders. If you're like me, and want to know more about how to get involved and be a voice in this movement, be sure to check out FarmAid.org.

Well, except every male that ever stepped foot on our college campus. With all the college females going crazy over the fact that he looks like an adorable little girl, I can't think of a single reason why people would hate Biebs. Oh, right, because he's rich and famous. And he hasn't even hit puberty yet. But so many males of our cam pus community that hate Bieber tend to forget that ten years ago the beloved Justin Timberlake (who ironically shares the same first name) was hated by college By Dylan Lysen dlysen@kansan.com males for the same reason — and today Timberlake is actually loved by those same people who hate Bieber. Maybe it has nothing to do with money, fame or looking like a girl. Maybe it all depends on what Biebs and JT represent. Timberlake came to fame through his super famous boy band 'N Sync, and was adored by many pre-teen females (and maybe a pop culture columnist for the UDK) when most of us college kids were in those awkward years ourselves. Call me crazy, but I have a strange feeling that 'N Sync was not so popular with the college male crowd during those years. These people didn't hate Timberlake because he could sing and date other super famous pop stars, he was hated because of what he was: the face of pop culture, and sadly, that happens to be driven by Pre-teen girls have somehow decided what needs to be known throughout pop-culture for decades. When a little band from Liverpool, England, known as the Beatles arrived in the United States, pre-teen females made it clear what was popular: screaming their heads off, just because a few good-looking dudes played some songs.

Dylan Lysen is a junior in journalism from Andover void, many young teenagers waste their parents' money and time by obsessing over people who are famous for being famous. So much money spent so that thousands of young teenage girls can hear Biebs sing "Baby" (hoping that he's singing about them). But for Bieber, this means that the college community realizes (subconsciously) that pre-teen females run the pop-culture world. Justin Bieber is not interesting to our generation because we already have our guy, and his name is Justin Timberlake.

Morningstar, a native of Lawrence and a member of Kansas' 2008 national championship team, agreed to a one-year deal with Greek team A.G.O. Rethymno. KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com After much speculation, former Kansas guard Brady Morningstar has agreed to a one-year deal with A.G.O. Rethymno of Greece's top professional league. A Lawrence native, Morningstar played five seasons for Kansas and was part of five Big 12 regular season titles, three Elight Eights, and a national championship. "It's time for me to start a new career," he told ShayWildeboor of JayahawkSlant.com. "I get my physical a day or two after I get there and then I've been told practice starts up." Without ever having been to Greece, Morningstar sought advice from another former Jayhawk who has made a living playing in Europe. "I talked to Aaron Miles quite a bit about the whole experience," he said. After graduating in 2005, Miles has played for teams in France, Spain, and most recently, Greece. "Like he told me, you've just got to keep your head to the grind and make sure you're doing the right things to help your team out." Helping his team out was something Morningstar specialized in at Kansas, often guarding the opposing team's best perimeter player, earning his spot on the All-Big 12 defensive team last season. Averaging 27 minutes and 7.3 points per game as a senior in 2010- 2011, Morningstar appeared in all 38 games and started in 25. The island of Crete in Greece is a 16-hour flight from his hometown of Lawrence and a far cry from Massachusetts Street. Aside from the unfamiliar country and long distance, Morningstar will also deal with the language barrier, as only one teammate hails from the United States. He added that the move to Greece will be a great opportunity and everyone around him has been extremely supportive of his decision. "I am a little nervous about the move," Morningstar said. "It's my first time to Greece, so I'm as excited as I can be, but I'm also sad to leave some of the people that I love so much." "Coach Self is also excited for me," he said. "I was in the gym the other day, and he came out on the balcony and we talked. I love Coach Self to death, and he thinks it's a good opportunity for me to go over there and play." The deal with Rethymno comes after a handful of NBA workouts this spring and no offers after going undrafted in the annual NBA draft. Terms of the one-year deal were undisclosed. Morningstar departs on Saturday. Lewis Deshaun Sands: He rushed for 211 yards and one touchdown on 55 carries in 2010. He is the son of former KU running back and single-game rushing leader Tony Sands. With so many backs and only so many carries to go around, Sands will have to improve on his 3.8 yards per carry average to earn more playing time. Sands was arrested on Saturday for missing a court date. BACKS FROM 110 PARKER Sands Edited by Sarah Champ Rell Lewis: The lone upperclassman in the KU backfield, Lewis missed last season after suffering a leg injury in August. Lewis has only accumulated 15 touches in his time at Kansas, rushing 13 times for 72 yards and catching two passes for 40 yards, all in the 2009 season. Lewis is experienced on special teams, so he could contribute in that aspect.

Last season the lajayhaws crew team finished in the top three at nationals for the fourth straight year. "It was our last collegiate race and we won a national championship," Johnson said.

The Jayhawks lost in overtime 2-1. RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com In front of reporters and flashing camera lights inside Allen Fieldhouse, soccer coach Mark Francis addressed the double-edged nature of this year's team. "The positives is we've got a lot of talented new kids," Francis said. "On the flip side, organizationally we've got a lot of people trying to figure things out right now." Francis addressed his disappointments in last year's 6-13 finish, but he thinks he has added the necessary pieces to make Kansas more impressive offensively. Still, Francis sees potential in his new roster. "I really like the mentality of this group and the personality of this group," Francis said. "I think they are extremely competitive." The Jayhawks lost their exhibition opener to Butler 3-2 on Sunday, but took away some positives that will help them going into a difficult first weekend. The Jayhawks have focused on tightening up the back end of their 4-3-3 formation. "We have a lot of new faces back there so just really focus on practicing and communicating and meshing well together on the defensive end," senior midfielder Kelsey Clifton said. Another early mystery for the team this year is who will be in goal.

They didn't arrive to Lawrence until early August. "They bring a different level of play I think," Clifton said. "They are very quick and crafty on the ball. I think they are going to do great things for us this year." For the small group of upperclassmen, the goal is to get all the newcomers on the same page before the regular season kicks off. "At first we definitely put a lot of pressure on ourselves because we definitely wanted them to have the same mindset as we did," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said. Now with all the preseason games finished and summer conditioniing winding down, the Jaywaks are excited to start working towards the ultimate goal of making the NCAA Tournament. "It's definitely the one thing I really want to do," Clifton said. "Last year was a disappointment, and I don't think any of us want to go back there." Kansas opens up its regular season on Friday against Tennessee at 5 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Edited by Jayson Jenks BASEBALL Brewers roll against the Pirates ASSOCIATED PRESS The one he'd like to have back is all it took for the surging Brewers to extend their mastery of Pittsburgh. PITTSBURGH — Pirates starter Jeff Karstens made 102 pretty effective pitches against Milwaukee on Monday. Karstens gave up a two-run single to opposing pitcher Chris Narveson in the fourth inning and Milwaukee won the opening game of a doubleheader 8-7 to beat Pittsburgh for the 13th straight time. "They're just on a big roll," Karstens said. "I really can't describe it. It's one of those things where we've got to be better than we are." Nobody's better than the Brewers these days. Milwaukee has won 19 of 22 to move nine games in front of second-place St. Louis while the Pirates — in first five weeks ago — now trail the Brewers by $16\frac{1}{2}$ games. "It's been one of those things where they're playing really, really good baseball right now," Karstens said. "We had them where we wanted them for a little while, we just weren't able to come up with a win tonight." That's been the case every time the teams have faced each other over the last 13 months. Milwaukee hasn't lost to Pittsburgh since July 21, 2010, and has outscored the Pirates 51-16 while winning all nine meetings this year. giving up two runs and six hits in seven innings. His only costly mistake came on a 1-2 curveball to Narveson with the bases loaded in the fourth. Karstens (9-7) hung in there. Narveson, a. 230 career hitter, smacked a single to right to put Milwaukee up 2-0. "It was probably too good a pitch for him to take," Karstens said. "I've got to make better pitches than that in situation." Narveson (9-6) figured he knew what was coming when Karstens got ahead in the count. "I didn't really sit soft but I knew he might come in with the breaking ball and I was able to stay back on it long enough to get it down the line," he said. Ryan Ludwick hit his 12th homer of the season.

Just as they've done throughout their careers at Kansas, the pair finished off their trip to Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, in solid fashion. Even though she was the youngest runner in the eight-women final, Dixon wasn't intimidated stepping into the block for the 400-meter sprint. Dixon, the reigning Midwest Female Track Athlete of the Year and an All-American in two events, finished fourth overall and just 0.4 seconds away from earning a medal. And while Dixon used her speed at this year's World University Games, Finley used his strenth when he competed in the shot put and discus throw. Finley began his time at the games with the shot put. After a mere single throw in the morning qualifying, his throw of 18.92 meters was enough to secure a spot in the finals that evening. He hit a road block, however. Battling food poisoning for much of the competition, Finley forfeited his final three attempts, leaving him in third place and earning him his first international medal of his career.

After throwing a pitch, Abbott would swiftly place his left hand in the glove that rested on the stub of his right arm. slamonline.com THE MORNING BREW Pitbull: Music's ultimate role player I am sure you've heard at least one song featuring the rapper Pitbull. To my ears, all his songs sound eerily similar. It has drawn me to the conclusion that Pitbull is the equivalent to an athlete who is a role player. Pitbull is the guy who comes off the bench and drains a couple of threes. He is then removed after providing the needed spark to get the offense rolling, replaced by someone who plains better defense. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com Heck, Pitbull could even be a guy like Robert Horry, who started in less than half the games he played but still won seven championships. Horry did play key roles on those teams. He played valuable minutes in the playoffs, especially during overtime. Horry even sank enough clutch shots to earn the nickname "Big Shot Rob" But considering Pitbull is already a nickname, I don't think fans will start shouting for "One Verse Pit" at a concert anytime soon. Pitbull's best moments come when he hops in for a verse, livens up a song and gives the other artist a break. He then steps back out to let the other guy do his thing. I feel the song is refreshed, and I'm excited to hear the other artist again. And on his most recent chart topping hit, "Give Me Everything," in which he did headline, he had major help from artists Ne-Yo and Naver Now, I admit my argument does have some flaws. You can have three different role players on a song and the song can rise to the top of the charts, but in contrast you will never see role players lead teams to championships. Fans will go watch Iman in concert, but has anyone ever said to you. 'Hey, let's go see the Heat tonight, Mike Miller is in the starting lineup?' Of course not. People watch the Heat for Dwave Wade and LeBron James. the year at the Grammy Awards, but he might have a shot at best rap collaboration if he is surrounded by the right people. It's the same reason why a team led by Shane Battier will never compete for a championship. But if he finds a good spot where he can specialize in something, he has a chance to contribute for a competitor. No one will ever mistake Pitbull for one of the greatest artists of all time, and 30 years from now I don't think you'll hear "Culo" or "I Know You Want Me" frequent the oldies stations. Pitbull won't ever win album of But like Horry, Pitbull will be able to look back on his career satisfied with what he accomplished.

Twitter gave personality to those no-named jersevs. It wasn't enough for @ Coachturnerrull to ban tweeting, but as part of his new rule on twitter he made each player with an account delete it. Obviously, from Gill's point of view, it's easy to see why there should be a ban. It eliminates the risk of unnecessary distraction. - However, those 140 characters (or fewer) packed in a box gave us fans the insight to their lives that made it fun to follow them. Did followers care about everything that @jizzle_11 and @DP4heisman shared with the world? No, but there were some worthy posts. When DP & AJ's take on #KU debuted, it gave fans a reason to talk about #KUfball and showed us the lighter side of football. By posting the link to their video on YouTube, fans and reporters alike retweeted and continually discussed the hilarity of the series. - It even made it's way to @ ESPN where it was shown and discussed on @cflive, forget that @ mark_may was bashing the two #allpressisgoodpress. As much as @coachturner-gill has a point, it's really a shame that fans can't interact with players. It was a great way to help fill seats. Like it or not tweeting created more excitement about *#KUball regardless of whether people were actually talking about the games. If James Sims is giving himself a new crazy haircut in the locker room, why can't Kale Pick tweet a picture of it! *it* #dojiams! - Let fans — mainly students — be in on some of the jokes. Where would #KU be as a school without the wisdom of @Kansas-twin22 & @Kansas-twin21? - The all-immortal #FOE and #Nodaysoff are more than just hashtags, they are a way of student identification with their athlete counterparts. - Twitter has been a blessing and a curse, but if used the right way it can be a promotional tool if the plaques #tweetsmart. It might just be time for pop culture to merge with the sports world, as @ESPN_Colin tweeted Monday "55 % of twitter users-use it 4 sports." It seems to work well for #KUbball. Is it possible for @ coachbillself to give the #KUfball a class on how to tweet w/o getting in trouble? Although it may be time to tone down #KUCMB, there's just something about Kansas University College Men's Basketball that doesn't sound right. It's likely that we won't miss anything of significant importance without #KUfball players tweeting, but not all tweeting is nonsense. After all, it only took me 140 (or less) characters to get out what I needed to say. MORNINGSTAR GOES GREEK PAGE 7 Sands arrested for missing court date MIKE VERNON mvernon@kanson.com After missing a June court date from a misdemeanor in April for a disturbing the peace citation, soph-nmore running back Deshaun Sands was arrested Saturday night on an outstanding warrant.

He scored 10 touchdowns and led the Jayhawks with 742 yards rushing last season, eighth in the nation among freshmen runners. He made his debut against Georgia Tech and ran the ball 17 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Jayhawks' first victory under coach Turner Gill. Sims was named the 2010 KU backfield player of the year and should get the bulk of the carries this year.

James Sims has been named the starter, but expect to see a variety of players used throughout the season depending on the situation. Here is a player-by-player breakdown of the running back position. PETER MALONE Bourbon Brandon Bourbon: He impressed during Saturday's scrimmage, scoring twice. Bourbon has a good combination of power and speed but missed most of spring practice with an ankle injury. Although not a pure power back, Bourbon is the closest thing to a power back on the roster. M. M. Nguibar Pierson Anthony Pierson He is the fastest back in the rotation. Coming out of high school, he was listed as the eighth-best athlete in the 2011 recruiting class according to Rivals.com. Pierson notched the two longest runs of the day during Saturday's scrimmage, one of which went for a touchdown. Gill has said he doesn't think Pierson will be an everydown back because of his size, but every time Pierson touches the ball, he has the ability to score.

Mama Lou stressed a feel-good message during her set to the children about being an individual and being passionate about what they did when they grew up. BRITTANNY CLAMPITT bclampitt@kansan.com As people mill about at the corner of 8th and Massachusetts streets, a unicyclist passes through the crowd that has gathered to watch Bobby Maverick's escape artist act. Maverick and other street entertainers, known as "buskers," traveled to Lawrence for the Lawrence Busker Festival, which took place Friday. Aug. 19 through Sunday. Aug. 21 as a benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Many artists performed feats that seem to defy nature in the hopes of receiving money in return for their performances. "It's just like church," Maverick said, jesting with the crowd, "The more you give the better you feel!" Founded by Richard Renner, a graduate of the University of Kansas theatre department, the festival has provided the Lawrence community with a unique opportunity to witness quality busking for free since 2008. "We have the usual guy with the guitar, girl with a tambourine kind of thing, and I thought, 'Oh, we can do a lot better than this,' Renner said. "I wanted to first of all, make Lawrence aware that street performing could be pretty cool here, and then second of all, make street performers aware that Lawrence could be pretty cool." Linsey Lindberg, Kansas City, Kan., native, also known by her stage name "Mama Lou: American Strong Woman," took advantage of this reciprocal relationship. Lindberg, whose phonebook ripping skills and apple-crushing biceps impress even the most skeptical of men, describes the atmosphere that develops during a performance. "it's one of the only times when you're standing next to the people who also come from your community, who maybe you've never met, maybe you have, but everybody stands shoulder to shoulder and laughs at the same time," Lindberg said, "To come into a public space and engage with the other members of the community — that's my favorite part." The initial inspiration for the festival may have stemmed from the independent street entertainers of downtown Lawrence, but Renner says he was also influenced by the professional traveling acts he witnessed at the University. Renner spoke of the impression the Royal Lichtenstein One Quarter-Ring Sidewalk Circus left on him during his time at the University of Kansas. Every year, he said, the troupe would set up on campus and he would skip class to see their show. SEE THE WEIRD DOWNTOWN ness school. Renner hopes to start the program in the spring semester of 2012. Go to www.kansan.com to see pictures of the performers at the local Busker Festival. @ "That is what I kind of patterned the street show after. It looked like so much fun, and then they got paid afterward, too." Renner said. "I want to have an intern come in and work side by side with me and understand the marketing and the fundraising and the production side of putting on an event," Renner said. His efforts, along with those of the participating businesses, volunteers and performers, have been well received by both the greater Lawrence and KU communities. "There's always a lot of culture in Lawrence and this is a prime example," said Chelsea Mies, a Kansas' presence in Lawrence has impacted the festival in other ways as well. The university is the reason the community is able to support the festival's unusual nature Renner said. Renner is now giving back to Kansas and its students through an internship program he is hoping to establish. "I went to school and got a theatre degree but nobody taught me how to run a theatre or how to stage an event so people could perform," said Renner, who will draft a proposal to the theatre department and the busi- @ sophomore from Cheney, who stumbled across the festival as she wandered around Massachusetts Street. Unlike Mies, Brent Kimmi, a junior from Lenexa, deliberately went to see the various performances. "The arts in The arts in Lawrence and Kansas City are awesome," Kimmi said, "There needs to be more funding for the arts in Kansas" The public's satisfaction with the festival and the unique element it brings to the downtown scene is what makes Renner continue with the festival, increasing its size and prominence with every year and "Keeping Lawrence Weird," as it says on the Busker Festival t-shirts. "I get to that point where I'm like, I don't think I can do this again; and then I'll see how much people are enjoying it at the festival and I just know I'm going to do it again. I just know it. Whether it pays or not." Edited by Jennifer DiDonato CAMPUS New moped parking, also new restrictions MATT GASPER mgasper@kansan.com The moped riders talked, and the KU Parking and Transit department listened. To meet the students' accommodations and demands, the KU Parking and Transit Department installed eight new spaces on campus and rearranged the moped parking locations. "Last year we had 202 moped spaces, and this year we have 210," said Donna Hultine, KU Parking and Transit Director. "We actually took some of the original spaces out because we determined they weren't being used and we added some spaces in locations that needed them." Students voiced their opinions last year to the Parking & Transit Department regarding the current position of the parking spaces. After listening to the students recommendations, the department added 26 new moped parking areas throughout campus. Some new spaces include an area outside the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage, areas surrounding the student recreation center parking lot, and an area at the shared parking lot by the GSP and Corbin residence halls. "The Parking Commission made this increase in light of the fact that moped parking is now taking up car stalls", Hultine said. Parking permits for moped drivers increased from $15 to $45. Stephen Shireman, Springfield, Mo junior, was alarmed by the price hike in moped parking permits. "I went to get my parking permit and saw it was $45 and I couldn't believe it," Shireman said. Moped drivers are concerned about the inability to commute down Jayhawk Boulevard during the restricted hours Monday through Friday. According to the University, mopeds cannot commute down Jayhawk Boulevard because the Parking Commission needs to limit traffic and keep pedestrians safe. "It makes it harder to get around and adds five to 10 more minutes each trip." Shireman said. "It's really just an inconvenience." Edited by C.J.

Also see KUJH's website at tvku.edu KANSAN MEDIA PARTNERS A student protest leader in Chile now has police protection after receiveth death threats by Twitter THESSALONIKI. GREECE It took an undercover operation, but Greek police have blown a hole in a ring of alleged crooks who had cornered the doughnut market in a beach resort. Camila Vallejo is president of the University of Chile's student federation. She has repeatedly used Twitter to mobilize huge marches for education reform. But she also has received death threats through social networks — including a message from a high-ranking culture ministry official who invoked the infamous phrase Gen. Augusto Pinochet used while topping President Salvador Alencade in 1973. Pinochet was recorded telling his troops: "If you kill the bitch, you do away with the litter." Chile's Supreme Court ordered police to protect Vallejo and her parents. The court also sanctioned the official who sent the message. It started with complaints that two Bulgarian men and a former Greek wrestling champion were using violence to choke off the trade by other doughnut vendors on Paliouri beach in the Halkidiki peninsula near Thessalonikis. So an undercover officer posed as a doughnut seller, police said Tuesday, and he was attacked, leading to the arrest of the three aggressive doughnut sellers. As a result, they have been charged with black mail and fraud. NAIROBI, KENYA Odette Kayirene's life was turned upside down when a militia captured and killed her husband during Rwanda's 1994 genocide. One year later, Kayirere and 50 other widows of the genocide started AVEGA Agahozo, an association that helps female genocide survivors rebuild their lives by overcoming the trauma of rape, losing loved ones and being a witness to gruesome killings. She said Tuesday that the group can now expand its reach with a $500,000 cash prize awarded in June by an American foundation. AVEGA Agahozo now provides services across the country and includes among its members more than 20,000 widows and more than 71,000 dependents and orphans.

University to offer renewable scholarships in 2012 CORINNE WESTEMAN cwesteman@kansan.com According to the new website, affordabilityku.edu, the University will offer scholarships based on ACT or SAT scores and high school GPAs. Kansas resident renewable scholarships will range from $4,000 to $40,000 over four years, and nonresident scholarships will range The University of Kansas will be offering a new package of renewable four-year scholarships next fall to incoming freshmen and transfer students. 2000 Dole Haman Development Center 1000 Sunnyside Ave. Lawrence Kan, 68045 In an Aug. 15 news release, the University said it will "automatically award students renewable scholarships according to their academic performance." 205 nths Wagner said she chose the University over an out-of-state school because of its affordability. According to the website, students will have to maintain a GPA above 3.4 and complete 30 credit hours per year in order to renew the scholarships. Jack Martin, the University's Director of Strategic Communications said the new system is designed to be more streamlined by allowing students to automatically re-apply for scholarships rather than filling out separate applications later in their college career. "It's designed to help us recruit additional talented students to KU and provide predictability for them and their families," Martin said. Miranda Wagner, a freshman from Shawnee, came to the University after receiving the Watkins-Berger Scholarship, which awards $18,000 over four years. Wagner said that if she had come to the University next year as a freshman, she would have received an additional $500 per semester through the renewable Chancellor Scholarship. "it's just by chance that I'm not going to get additional money," she said. "But, I'm trying to appreciate what the University is doing, even if I won't benefit from it." Martin wants to remind current students, who won't be able to use the new, streamlined scholarship program, to contact the University. "We always encourage students to talk to with the financial aid office to see what opportunities are available," Martin said. "There really are opportunities out there that you might not be aware of otherwise." "The affordability is already a Students can contact the Student Office of Financial Aid at (785) 864-4700 for more information. $ $ KU $ Edited by Jennifer DiDonato draw for students," she said. "It's a great program to get in place, because the guidelines are so clear" Wagner said she is doing her own research to find additional scholarships and financial aid.

Last June, the members approved a $26 million tuition increase on all Kansas public universities. Beginning this fall, in-state tuition for students who enter a four-year compact will be $278 per credit hour, an increase of 5.8 percent from last year. Standard instate tuition for incoming freshman will increase 5.8 percent to $254 per credit hour. Students who've already entered a tuition compact will not see tuition increases. "Compared to other research universities," Martin said, "KU remains very affordable." "Compared to other research universities, KU remains very affordable" JACK MARTIN The University's tuition and fees are the eighth lowest of the 35 members of the Association of American Universities — more than $2,000 cheaper than California at Berkley and Michigan State University. According to the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning, the University of Kansas'in-state tuition has increased $233 per credit hour since the 2001-2002 school year. Although tuition costs continue to increase, Jack Martin, director of strategic communications for the University, assures that the cost to attend the University of Kansas is a great value. In comparison to other public Big 12 schools, Kansas ranks sixth out of 10 schools, according to data on the 2010-2011 school year. State budget cuts and an increase JACK MARTIN Director of Strategic Communications in the cost of health insurance and utilities have contributed to the rise in tuition prices. However, Martin said that student input was also an important factor in why tuition costs have increased. "Students have told us that they want to maintain the academic quality of the programs they're in," Martin said, "and when the state's not able to provide additional support to the university — tuition is the primary way to retain talented faculty and staff." —Edited by Mike Lavieri PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER $$$ A DECADE OF RISING TUTITION 2001 - 2002: In-state tuition per credit hour, 77.75 Out-of-state per credit hour, 308.65 2002-2003: In-state tuition per credit hour, 97.35 Out-of-state per credit hour, 337.45 2004 - 2005: In-state tuition per credit hour,186.75 Out-of-state per credit hour,451.90 2005 - 2006: In-state tuition per credit hour, 209.88 Out-of-state per credit hour,491.43 2003 - 2004: In-state tuition per credit hour, 165.55 Out-of-state per credit hour, 414.75 2006 - 2007: In-state tuition per credit hour, 237.08 Out-of-state per credit hour, 536.08 2006-2007: *2007 — 2008: In-state tuition per credit hour, 257.96 Out-of-state per credit hour, 574.66 Eagle *2010-2011: In-state tuition per credit hour, 310.39 Out-of-state per credit hour,676.49 *2008 - 2009: In-state tuition per credit hour, 277.06 Out-of-state per credit hour, 612.96 *2009 - 2010: In-state tuition per credit hour, 289.46 Out-of-state per credit hour, 645.56 *Standard tuition rates and fees without four-year tuition compact rates All data provided by The University of Kansas Office of Institutional Research and Planning Renewable scholarships begin in 2012 SCHOLARSHIP TEST SCORE + GPA AMOUNT ANNUAL RENEWAL CRITERIA National Merit Finalist, National Achievement Finalist, National Hispanic Scholar Must select KU as No. 1 college choice with National Merit Scholarship Corp. $40,000 ( $10,000 per year ) 30 KU hours + 3.4 GPA Chancellor 32 ACT / 1400 SAT 3.85 GPA / 4.0 scale $20,000 ($5,000 per year) 30 KU hours + 3.4 GPA Traditions 31 ACT / 1360 SAT 3.75 GPA / 4.0 scale $16,000 ($4,000 per year) 30 KU hours + 3.4 GPA Crimson & Blue 28 ACT / 1250 SAT 3.5 GPA / 4.0 scale $8,000 ($2,000 per year) 30 KU hours + 3.4 GPA Rock Chalk 33 ACT / 1130 SAT 3.85 GPA / 4.0 scale $4,000 ($1,000 per year) 30 KU hours + 3.4 GPA Jayhawk 24 ACT / 1090 SAT 3.75 GPA / 4.0 scale $40,000 ($1,000 per year) 30 KU hours + 3.4 GPA KU Pell Advantage* 22 ACT / 1020 SAT 3.25 GPA / 4.0 scale Combination of scholarships and grants to fund tuition and fees 24 KU hours + 2.5 GPA This Hawk Week KNOLOGY ABE & JAKE'S LANDING KU DINING SERVICES KU MEMORIAL UNIONS The University of Kansas ABE & JAKE'S LANDING udk Back to School Blowout KU MEMORIAL UNIONS The University of Kansas completenutrition Look better.

David Carpenter MUSIC Today's top pop stars stay fresh to keep place MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Cher never did it. Neither did Bevonce or Britney. Katy Perry changes outfits eight times during just one song on her current concert tour. That may sound excessive, but what concertgoers see when Perry performs "Hot N Cold" illustrates how hard it is to be a music diva these days. You have to get the attention of the media as often as you can. New hairdo, new tweet, new drama. "When Lady Gaga's record came out and she was doing TV all over the world, I would say it's five times more than Madonna did," said publicist-to-the-stars Liz Rosenberg, who has represented Madonna forever and Cher for the past 12 years. "If they're not saying 'You're overexposed', then you're not doing your job." The attention span of fans in this ADD-like pop world demands something new constantly. The attitude of music lovers can be summed up in a song by another vintage diva: Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" Diana Ross, Madonna and Mariah Carey never had it like this. Perry seems to release a new single every five weeks. Jennifer Lopez zoomed up the charts with "On the Floor" in May, then disappeared as soon as "American Idol" went off the air. After three No. 1 up-tempo hits, Rihanna released a so-so ballad, and suddenly Nicki Minaj has replaced her in the hearts of dance-pop fans. "The appetite is insatiable," said Rosenberg, just back in New York after a trip to Sturgis, S.D., with client Stevie Nicks. When Madonna was starting out in the early 1980s, Rosenberg had just a few targets: Rolling Stone, MTV, "Entertainment Tonight", major newspapers, key radio stations and maybe People magazine. Nowadays, PR involves maintaining a website and Facebook pages, posting regular tweets, singing on TV — morning shows sell albums, late-night shows add cache — getting plugs on such sites as Perez Hilton and TMZ, scoring magazine features in the likes of Cosmopolitan and InStyle, and walking the red carpet at endless award shows and movie premieres. The only change may be a new look for the next media opportunity. These days, there are media opportunities around the clock whether the stars want them or not.

Calendar change brings the Monday blues Even though the struggles of getting back into the swing of a new semester can be challenging and rather daunting, it has always been a comfort to know that here at Kansas, the week begins at a relaxed pace. The enjoyment of knowing that other certain Kansas universities began their academic school year on a dreadful Monday was heartwarming. However, this fall we have joined our fellow institutions in their custom of starting classes on a Monday. During the motion for the change, University Senate President John Stratton said that Kansas did a comparison and discovered that they had a few more class days than other institutions and their goal was to equalize their academic calendar with others regent institutions in the state. In order to keep the balance of 73 days during the Fall and Spring semester, there was talk of getting rid of stop day — the day before finals — but the student representatives on the Calendar Committee rightfully voted against it. Class commencing on a Thursday has been a longstanding tradition that assists new students on becoming better acclimated to all that Kansas has to offer at a steady rate. But now, instead of gradually getting into the swing of things, we have been thrown into the cold shower of realization that summer is in fact, over. Senior Mike Schwaller, of Omaha, Neb., says it's challenging to prepare himself for a full-week of school coming off summer vacation. "It is just hard to get involved the first week of class because you are not ready for it and extending the first week for three more days means missing three more days of class information because you're not mentally prepared," he said. We also tend to forget that our professors are also affected by this change. Some professors complain that this new schedule messes with consis- tenency of a set schedule that was established many semesters prior and others don't feel it has affected the way they approach classes. While some may say that starting class on a Monday is just plain mean, others probably detest the tease of having two days before the weekend. Either way, it can't be argued that it's always nice to have three days to move-in, take in several Hawk Week events, and soak up all that Jayhawk pride before two simple, syllabus-filled days of class.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES Policy issue slip-ups Vice President Joe Biden hasn't even hit the trail to stump for the Democratic ticket yet, but the 2012 presidential campaign has already seen its fair share of stumbles, slips and screw-ups. The media fixated on Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) when she erroneously boasted that she shared a hometown (Waterloo, Iowa) with Western star and conservative icon John Wayne. Actually, it was serial rapist and murderer John Wayne Gacy who was a Waterloo native. Wayne hailed from Winterset, Iowa. This came on the heels of Bachmann's March speech in Concord, N.H., where she said the Revolutionary War got its start. Flubbing this bit of history – the war actually started in Lexington and Concord, Mass. – is somewhat mystifying, given the tea party's purported reverence for the Founding Fathers, but like the congresswoman's Waterloo blunder, it's unclear what it portends for how a President Bachmann would handle unemployment, climate change, education policy, and international affairs. You know, the things a president actually does. By Luke Brinker lbrinker@kansan.com Of course, these and similar Bachmann gaffes - like her mixing up of Elvis Presley's birth and death dates last week – fit into an existing narrative about the congresswoman. She's seen as an intellectual lightweight, a proud Know-Nothing – a "flake," to borrow Fox News host Chris Wallace's infamous word. But while the media focus on trivial errors may make for Beltway entertainment, it's unclear what it all signifies. Moreover, Bachmann's stances on substantive issues - her emphatic rejection of the scientific consensus on climate change, her bizarre belief that you can pray the gay away, and the economic illiteracy she displayed during the politically-engineered debt ceiling debacle - raise far more serious questions about her mental acuity than her ability to accurately recall an actor's place of birth. He's aloof! He's robotic! - while the policy angle to Romney's comment was generally ignored. Talking heads further descended into fluff in their reaction to former Gov. Mitt Romney's (R-Mass.) statement to protesters at the Iowa State Fair in Ames that "corporations are people, my friend." As with Bachmann, Romney's gaffe supposedly confirmed long-held beliefs about the GOP frontrunner's personality - The New York Times' Maureen Dowd, for instance, used the incident to make the earth-shattering revelation that Romney is rich and often standoffish. Corporationgate gave her a convenient means of packaging that meme into column form. Few analysts bothered to examine the political implications underlying Romney's comment. Corporate personhood - a notion at the center of the Supreme Court's ruling in the 2010 Citizens United case - holds that corporations are legally entitled to the same rights as people. How, exactly, do corporations engage in "free speech?" By contributing funds to pliant politicians, of course. It's a radical idea at odds with the framers' constitutional vision and the views of the vast majority of Americans (including Republicans). But why talk about policy issues with direct bearing on the kind of country we live in when it's so much more fun to dabble in armchair psychology? —Luke Brinker is a senior from Topeka majoring in history.

Counter Facebook haters with knowlegable responses Because so many of us spend much of our time interacting through these modes of social media, it's important to keep others in mind, their views and their feelings, even outside the classroom and from behind the mask of your keyboard and Facebook identity. By James Castle jcastle@kansan.com The other day I posted something about gay rights on my wall; I don't remember what it was, and it's not important. Of course, some ignorant member of my overtly conservative family made a comment, some friends got passive-aggressive and critical and another friend didn't know what the eff he was talking about. Sound familiar? Here's how you should handle a similar mess: Most etiquette or stress management books might tell you to make an attempt to understand your family member's vastly different point-of-view, to put yourself in her shoes for a minute. Don't. She is grossly uneducated and needs to be put in her place. Tell that bigot to keep her nose off your wall. No one cares if she's at Thanksgiving this year, anyway. Do not try to see the grain of truth in your critical/passive-aggressive friend's attack on your position regarding whatever issue or humbly agree with him in an attempt to take the "high road". To piss him off, deliberately get off topic and correct some minor mechanical or grammatical error on his post or his word choice. Show everyone how much better you are at basic English than him. Your stupid friend doesn't need to be appreciated for taking the time to express his thoughts to everyone in a public venue. Do not let his idiocy go unnoticed. Award him no merit. Let him (and everyone else in the discussion) know that he has seriously misunderstood every point made, how little impact he has had and how he destroyed any opportunity for advancing ideas. Instead of saying, "Good idea!" and politely "liking" his comment to affirm the crap he just wrote, send him a list of relevant literature that he probably can't understand and say, "Don't come back until you've read every word." When you respond with insults and attack the person, instead of her logic, it's obvious you've won the argument. Now everyone knows how bright, articulate and mature you are. Everyone on Facebook will want to invite you to parties so that you can share all that goes on in your gigantic brain. Sex partners will flock to you and employers will seek you out. You'll be the Chris Crocker of Lawrence. Remember: You are always right, and there is never a situation where friends and family are more important than being right in these super important discussions on Facebook. —Castle is a senior from Stilwell in political science and human sexuality HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER GUIDELINES Send letters to kansanopdesk@gmail.com.

PAGE 6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2011 POVERTY Kansas' children rankings fall in youth study BOBBY BURCH bburch@kansan.com Nearly one in five Kansas children live in poverty, according to a recent state-by-state study on the well-being of the nation's youth. The national study, released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation last Wednesday, reported that Kansas fell six positions — the largest slip of any state — to 19th in child well-being. "It's really disturbing," Lauren Beatty, communications specialist of Kansas Action for Children, said. Beatty said the new data, which lags behind by two years, is now showing signs of the nation's struggling economy. "It really reflects the impact of the recession," Beatty said, "Clearly it's having a negative impact on our kids." The Casey Foundation establishes rankings by evaluating a state's performance in 10 indicators that reflect child poverty, such as the number of uninsured children, infant mortality and single-parent families. According to the study, Kansas is among 38 states in which child poverty has increased from 2000 to 2009, yet remains slightly below the national average of 20 percent. Kansas did, however, drop to 40th in the nation in infant mortality and is the worst in the country in African-American infant mortality, according the Kansas Blue Ribbon Panel on Infant Mortality. N e w Hampshire topped the study's list for best overall child well-being, followed by Minnesota, Massachusetts and Vermont respectively. Mississippi ranked last. Kansas the 9th lowest percent in the nation. -Seven percent of Kansas teens are not attending school and not working, with Kansas having the eighth lowest percent in the nation. -25 percent of Kansas children live in families in which no parent has full-time, year-round employment, ranking Kansas the eighth best state in the nation. "We have to protect programs that protect our children, especially when we're seeing this trend of things continuing to get worse." LAUREN BEATTY Communications Specialist The study also highlighted many of Kansas' improvements, including a top 10 ranking in three of the indicators: -Only five percent of Kansas teens are not in school and are not high school graduates, giving Gov. Sam Brownback said that reducing child poverty is one of five goals in his plan entitled "Roadmap for Kansas." Despite such efforts, the number of poverty-stricten children in the state continues to grow. In Kansas, the number of children in poverty increased nearly 18 percent, from 100,000 in 2008 to 121,000 in 2009. But many kids in Lawrence face a much bleaker reality than the state average of child pow- erty, according to information provided by the Kansas State Department of Education. Of the 11,374 students enrolled in Lawrence USD 497 last school year, nearly a third qualified under poverty guidelines, a 12 percent increase from the 2007- 2008 school year. In conjunction with rising poverty rates, the number of homeless students in Lawrence K — 12th grade schools has increased nearly 12 percent during the last year. 178 students self-reported their homeless status during the 2010-2011 school years, according to Ellen Willets, homeless liaison of Lawrence Public Schools. "There's just more unemployment," said Willets. While the nation's economic stability remains to be a concern for many, Beatty said the state must continue to fight for the well-being of Kansas' children. "We have to protect programs that protect our children," Beatty said, "especially when we're seeing this trend of things continuing to get worse."

To see video of the surprise patrol visiting the professors, visit www.news.ku.edu/2011/august/23/kemper. Today, a "surprise patrol" from the Office of the Provost presented a $7,500 Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence award to four University professors, according to the Office of Public Affairs. Anna Neill, associate professor of English, Andrea Herstowski, associate professor of design, Robert Ward, IV, associate professor of molecular biosciences and Arvin Agah, professor of electrical engineering and computer science joined yesterday's winner, Jorge Perez, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, who was also surprised with a Kemper Fellowship. The awards recognize Local researcher studies mancession CAMPUS The 2008 recession is sometimes called the "mancession" because it has left more men than women out of work. At the end of 2010, the unemployment rate for men was 10.5 percent and 8.6 percent for women, according to the United States Department of Labor. One University researcher found that joblessness affects men's masculine identity. Llana Demantas, a doctoral student in sociology at the University, interviewed 20 unemployed men and found that many have proudly embraced domestic chores such as housework and childcare. Others suffered from depression. -Ian Cummings "Usually men see themselves as supporters of the family, and since a lot of them are no longer able to do that alone on their income," Demantas said in a press release. "They have to construct their identity in a new way to allow them to still think positively of themselves." Demantas worked with Kristin Meyers, a professor at Northern Illinois University, and she will present her findings to the BURGERS Open 'til HOTDOGS am DRINKS YOU'LL BE UP, & WE WILL BE TOO! BURGERS HOTDOGS DRINKS Open 'til 1 am THE BEAX YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE HERE TO EAT HERE! LOCATED IN NAISMITH LOBBY THE BEAUX GRILL AND CONVENIENCE STORE American Sociological Association this year. Demantas said the men were maintaining their self-image through what they once viewed as "women's work." Meanwhile, she said, men were grateful for wives who remained employed. "One subject said of his wife 'If she weren't working, I'd be sleeping in a car or something.' Demantas said. "One of the subjects said he woke up early and made coffee for his wife because it was the one nice thing he could do for her since he wasn't contributing economically." In August, the difference in unemployment rates was less than before. The DOL reported 9 percent unemployment for men and 7.9 percent for women. But Demantas said masculinity had permanently changed during the recession. "Men's identities have changed," Demantas said. "They're proud to contribute to the household, to make up for the work their wives are doing. Yet, they still maintain household authority, holding onto their identities as 'men' any way they can." — Ian Cummings THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2011 PAGE 7A SOCCER ... EARLY STANDOUT CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN KANSAS 11 Freshman forward Jamie Fletcher snags Big 12 shout out, breaks school freshman goal record RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Freshman forward Jamie Fletcher has two personas. While sitting in the media relations office, she is a quiet, polite young woman who is happy to talk about anything from soccer practice to her passion for movies or the hot weather. On the field, she is tenacious. In the middle of the field she is always battling a defender for a crucial ball or finding a way to work into the necessary part of the necessary part of the defense to finish close to the goal Still early in her college career, Fletcher has turned into an overnight sensation in the Big 12 when she was named newcomer of the week for the entire conference on Tuesday. Also, her "I don't think I've ever scored that many goals in two games. I was really excited just to start," Fletcher said. three goals in two games are the most by any Jayhawk freshman in the history of the program. For Kansas coach Mark Francis this isn't anything out of the ordinary. Francis has been expecting this since the first time he saw her kick a soccer ball. Fletcher grew up in the desert "We knew she was good; that's why we recruited her," Francis said. "We expect her to score goals. That's her job. She obviously adjusted to it pretty quickly." "We expect her to score goals. That's her job. She obviously adjusted to it pretty quickly. Even with the early accolades, Fletcher continues to be modest about her role on the team. MARK FRANCIS Coach valley city of Albuquerque, N.M. She lived there most her life, competing in various soccer tournaments throughout the southwest.

She did a little bit better about being more aggressive and also be a little more selfish." "She has a knack in finding a goal and being at the right place at the right time," senior forward Kortney Clifton said. Fletcher struggled in the exhibition opener against Butler, but with a coaching nudge in the right direction she improved immediately. With the rest of the season ahead of her, Fletcher will face more swarms of defenders, but more chances of knocking the ball in the back of the net.

"It's big time motivation." FOOTBALL 10 While a vocal leader like Johnson had a colorful reaction to hearing the prediction, not every player and coach believes it will make a difference to the team. Sophomore running back James Sims knew nothing about what Sports Illustrated has said, but he didn't seem too fazed when hearing that the he wouldn't like what they had to say. "We don't really pay attention to all of that," Sims said. "We know we didn't have a great season last year, and were building on from that; were working hard and pushing each other to get better." Gill quickly shot down the notion of allowing such a thing as a motivation tool. "We don't need to use anything." Gill said. "It is what it is with last season and we just have to get better as a football team. Some coaches would jump all over the opportunity to use the prediction as a motivator and bulletin board material — not Turner Gill. While sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb remained in the dark about the article, he did acknowledge the lack of respect Kansas has been receiving. Webb has heard other predictions and says it's all it takes when the team isn't giving their all. 37 25 "We talk about it almost every day," Webb said. "Especially when the team is getting down, all it's really need for motivation." As for Johnson, his jaw dropped when he first heard about the article. He turned and looked for confirmation from someone in the athletics department. He looked insulted. Once everything set in, the first words out of his mouth told the general sentiment of how he felt. "I just want to prove all these people wrong." Johnson said. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN — Edited by Jonathan Shorman Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon goes through drills during practice Tuesday afternoon. Kansas will take on McNeese State as their first opponent of the 2011 season on Sept. 9 at Memorial Stadium. VOLLEYBALL | 10 the rhythm of things and helps you understand that everybody has an important role on the team, whether you're starting or not," farmoc said. "Coach Bechard would always be very positive when I was encouraging people in practice, and it makes you feel valued; even though you're not starting you're helping them out in some way." Jarmoc emerged as a star player her freshman year, being named the Jayhawk Classic Most Valuable Player and recording 93 block assists, ninth most in school history. With three seasons to go, she said she knows what she needs to work on if she wants to go down as one of the all-time greats in the program's history. Volleyball runs in the family for Jarmoc, whose brother Thomas and sister Patricia have both played the sport at the collegiate level. Sibling rivalry often emerged in the form of playful on court confrontations. "I definitely want to be stronger in blocks and I want to be a very dominant attacker in the front," jarmoc said. "We're working a ton with getting middles up in transition, and I feel like all of our middles will do a very good job with that this year." "There would be cocky showdowns, but it was all in good fun," Jarmoc said. "It's good because all of us play different positions, so we can't really compare to each other. My cousin who is 27 also played volleyball, and she played professional beach for a while. So it's very much in the family." In fact, Jarmoc's own parents were athletes long before Caroline began acing on the court. Her parents immigrated from Poland, where her father Jacek played basketball and her mother Zofia was a high jumper. Having athletic parents definitely helped her develop a competitive edge, Jarmoc said. "I feel like all the kids are confident, and I think confidence helps in being competitive, that you're sure of yourself and you're always driven," Jarmoc said. "It was helpful that they were athletes because they know how you have to time manage and handling fatigue, and that rest is a really important thing. With little injuries they knew what to do right away because they've all been through it." Jarmoc said she gets her relentlessness from her parents, who had to fight for everything they had when they started a new life from scratch in Canada. As children, they made sure Caroline and her siblings knew they had to work for everything in life. "In every aspect of my life, it's pretty much go 100 percent or nothing." Jarmoc said. "I've told my teammates sometimes when I'm reluctant doing something it's because I know that if I start it, I'm going to it 100 percent Jarmoc P and do it to the best of my ability. That definitely spills over into academics and studying and assignments and doing the best I can in classes." Having athletic parents may have helped Jarmoc handle high pressure situations, Bechard said. "They may be competitive and know what commitment means," Bechard said. "Anytime there is that type of culture in the household. I think it may help a bit." While Jarmoc still has three years to achieve her goal of reaching the NCAA Tournament, she is looking atthis year as a golden opportunity she refuses to let slip away. "We're not settling for anything this year," Jarmoc said. "We want to push ourselves to make each other better." Jarmco's vocal presence sets the tone during practice, but her roommate can't help but find humor in some of her antics. "She just says funny things when she gets frustrated, and we laugh at her funny Canadian expressions," Tolefree said.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO KAITLYN BUTKO kbutko@kansan.com Although the rowing team doesn't enter the water until Sept. 6, training has begun for the fall portion of the season. During preparations, senior Angela Mings focuses particularly on the Big 12 Championship. "We definitely had a good Big 12 race; we were very close to a lot of schools for a large portion but close to the end there was more distance. That race got me excited, it showed us we can beat boats off the start and beat boats at 1000 meters." Mings said. "That's one race we really prepare for and that's the big race that's always in the back of your mind." Coach Rob Catloth understands just how important the Big 12 Championship and the Conference USA Championship are in deciding how the team is ranked nationally. "We want to be top Big 12 and do well in Conference USA, which gives us a really good chance of being a top 20 team," Catloth said. Agreeing with Catloth, senior Kathryn Schoonover said that though the team performed well last season, there was still motivation to "Big 12 is a big race and it has good competition but ultimately what we want is Conference USA. It wem well, the times were nice and we definitely improved on the season," Schoonover said. "But whenever we're not coming out on top, we want to keep working." continue improving. Several new rowers entering the programs may be just what the team needs to come out on top. "I think our goal is to have good freshmen coming in. They're going to help this year and the next couple of years," Catloh said. "There are a lot of young rowers in the program, 1089 E. 23rd St. COLDWATER FLATS SECURITY DEPOSIT SPECIAL! 14TH & TENNESSEE ONE BEDROOM A.

"We're not going to let those assumptions affect us. We know what we've been doing 20 hours a week. We know what we can do. It's just being confident in our abilities." 合 Mings said showing that confidence, while bringing a positive mentality, sets the standard for the rest of the team. First Management As a senior, Schoonover knows the importance, and challenge, of overlooking expectations from opponents. and we're hoping to turn that into bigger success this coming spring." "For me, I think that stepping out of the underclassmen, junior role and stepping into a leading role now that I'm a senior," Mings said about what would be difficult. "The seniors play a large role in how the team acts, behaves and looks at practice and competitions. There's no one to look up to, I'm now the one people look up to." With strong senior leadership and talented newcomers on her team, Schoonover has high hopes for the season. "I'm pretty confident. We've got a lot of people coming back and good leaders. We even have some new girls coming in who's rowed before, which is rare because rowing is so unpopular in high school." Schoonover said. "The only way to go is up so it's going to be a good season."

ESPN.com NFL lockout is blessing in disguise THE MORNING BREW Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present the award for best summer legal show to the NFL. Yes, I commend the NFL for putting its fans through anguish for 136 days by administering a lockout even though it was a national nightmare that could have been calamitous had it not ended. Both DeMaurice Smith, NFL Players Association (NFLPA) executive director, and Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner, win the award for best actor for brilliantly orchestrating the lockout by scaring NFL fans into thinking that a season without football was a strong possibility, yet averting a disaster by ending the lockout just before football season. By C.J. Matson cjmatson@kansan.com During the height of the lockout, with no end in sight, NFL fans pondered life without pro football. Just think about some of the things that would not happen without a pro football season: Sunday tailgating, fantasy football, cheerleaders, a Super Bowl, which means no Super Bowl commercials or halftime shows, classic play-by-play calls from your favorite NFL entertainers and analysts, memorable sound bites from players and coaches, and most importantly, pro football itself. For many, life without football would be an irreplaceable void. Similar to boys gravitating toward girls, NFL fans gravitated toward media outlets, such as ESPN, that covered the NFL lockout extensively. NFL players and owners compelled NFL fans to watch them walk around in business suits on TV while analysts gave fans a crash course on the lockout using legal jargon. If that was not enough for NFL fans, ESPN and NFL Network killed time discussing player rankings, rehashing the 2010 season, making predictions for the 2011 season, and analyzing teams, only to galvanize ravenous fans hungry for football. With pro football already the most popular sport in America, fans are more excited than ever to watch professional pigskin. Thank Goodell and Smith for not only saving NFL fans from the annual vacillation show starring Brett Favre, but for strengthening our gratitude for a game deeply embedded in American culture. For many, the NFL is more than just a pro football league. It is a lifestyle that most don't want tampered with. By halting football operations and essentially threatening to cancel the season, Smith and Goodell made people realize the importance of their game to society. The short free agency period leading into training camp, arguably the busiest and most captivating free agency period in NFL history, would not have occurred had there been no lockout. Fans and the media now devote more time to the NFL.The players and owners are finally satisfied with the new collective bargaining agreement and fans are simply glad that pro football will be on the docket this year. So thank you, NFL, both for having the lockout this summer and ending it just in time for football season. You did a marvelous job capturing your fans' attention by having them tune in to your legal show and appreciate your game even more.

And it better not happen this time around Achange took place 12 possessions into the Kansas football season last year. A desperate coach in his first game made a switch early in the fourth quarter. Kale Pick started in the Jayhawks first game at quarterback against North Dakota State last season. Pick played for more than three quarters and went 13-22, throwing for 138 vards and one interception. AND THE AWARD GOES TO... NFL lockout drama reminded fans of the sport's value PAGE 9 ROWING TRAINS WITH HIGH BIG 12 GOALS PAGE 8 Webb went 6-11 and threw for 59 yards in the North Dakota State game. Webb showed enough to take the starting job for week two — the Georgia Tech game, in which he threw for three touchdowns and led Kansas to a 28-25 victory. The Jayhawks were losing to the Bison 6-3 and as an everything-or-nothing move, Turner Gill put freshman Jordan Webb in. They came up with nothing more on the scoreboard, but they did leave with a new quarterback. FOOTBALL He needs to be all of that and more come the 2011 season. He can be that guy, too. His increased size can only help his arm strength and toughness. If he has changed, like they say he has in practice, than he can eliminate the small mistakes that helped make last season so painful to watch. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson jokes around with his teammates Tuesday afternoon while going through drills during afternoon practice. Kansas will take on McNeese State as their first opponent of the 2011 season on Sept. 9 at Memorial Stadium. In the weeks between Georgia Tech and Missouri, two quarterbacks played. Webb and junior Quinn Meacham started five and four games, respectively. Webb had a hurt shoulder, while Mecham did fine considering the circumstances. The thing is, Jordan Webb is the guy for 2011. Turner Gill has made him that guy and they're both in it together here until December. There should be no quick fix, no late game confusion, and no eleventh-hour quarterback switch. Edited by Rachel Schultz 25 15 Word out of practice is that Webb has responded. He gained visible strength over the spring and summer, he has become a vocal leader to the team, he knows the playbook, and he can control the tempo better. Webb returned to his starting spot from his injury against Missouri in the season finale — a 35-7 loss. Kansas had no consistency at quarterback last season. There was no captain on the line, no one to bark orders, and no one to instill confidence in his teammates. KANSAS PICKED LAST There are no longer any excuses as to why three quarterbacks controlled the team at one point last year. Gill knows his players and believes Jordan Webb is the guy to wear the captains hat and control the ship. He is Gill's man and should be the entire year. It's now year two for Gill and year one and one-half as the starter for Webb — there are no longer any excuses for the miscommunications, the five-yard delay of game penalties, or the lack of cohesiveness on offense. Too many times did the Kansas offense have to call a timeout because of a miscommunication. Too many times the fans were dismayed and the players panicked, while the play clock ticked to zero. All of the changes in the position that is supposed to control it all, led to a lack of control anywhere. 1 MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com It's a prediction that no team wants to see—0-9 and 1-11. Stanford quarterback and Heisman candidate Andrew Luck stands tall with two of his team-mates on one of the five covers of this week's issue of Sports Illustrated. The magazine released its annual forecast of this year's college football season, and while Luck and the Cardinals are all over the issue, there is one tiny mention of this year's Kansas football team — it isn't a flattering one either. Inside the issue are predictions on how every team will finish in their respective conference. At the bottom of the Big 12's forecast, sits the name Kansas, but there's more to it than Sports Illustrated just picking the Jayhawks to finish last. Next to Kansas' name, reads 0-9 and 1-11. When picking Kansas to finish last, the magazine Not one of the players knew about the unflattering prediction one of the world's most read magazines had given them. Whether the players are in the dark about it, or not, the prediction exists, and it's the kind of material that often goes on every player's locker. When senior linebacker Steven Johnson found out about the unkind words from the magazine, he stood speechless for a moment. Johnson said. "I might have to go buy that article and just post it up, let everybody see it." "That's why the game is played." After learning about the unkind words from Sports Illustrated, Johnson said it gives him a lot of motivation. Not only will Johnson be motivated, but he also believes his teammates will rally around hearing about the winless conference play projection. FOOTBALL 8 VOLLEYBALL Blocker builds reputation as 'relentless'on and off court MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themtgalloway Sophomore middle blocker Caroline jarmoc was an impact player for the volleyball team her freshman year. On the court, she was one of three Jayhawks to start all 31 matches and finished as the team's leading blocker. Off the court, she was an Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection. Her teammate and roommate Tayler Toilefle said Jarmoc has achieved early success thanks to one attribute above all others. "I think it's the stubborn personality she has, in a good way," Tolefree said. "She's just relentless, in her personality too. She won't give up." Jarmoc's performance on the court and her relentlessness off it have put her in the position of being a team leader as an underclassman. While it is an uncommon situation to be in, it is not an unfamiliar one for the Calgary, Alberta, Canada native. "I think I've kind of adapted to it," larmoc said. "I remember in high school people would turn to me as a leader too, so I've had experience with that role. I obviously didn't expect to have it so Jarmoc is the only foreign-born player on the volleyball roster this year. When she arrived two years ago, she was bombarded with questions about Canada from her teammates. early on when I came in, but I'm fully ready to take responsibility with that and do it to the best of my ability." She made a name for herself as part of Volleyball Prospects, a recruitment and scouting organization that rates and profiles Canadians in the sport for coaching staffs worldwide. It was at an event sponsored by Volleyball Prospects that an assistant on head coach Ray Bechard's staff first saw Jarmoc play. He said she was one of only two among the hundreds at the event who stood out. "It was like I was from overseas or something." Jarmoc said. "We saw a ton of potential when we recruited her," Bechard said. "One thing led to another and we got a visit out of her." Jarmoc said she chose to join Bechard because she often found herself comparing every other school she visited to what she saw at Kansas. She redhirted for the 2009 season. "I feel it helps you kind of get in VOLLEYBALL 18 KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 9 MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc makes a two handed block in a match against Baylor last season. A SPORTS Berglund and Sands finished for now Kansas football coach Turner Gill announced two personnel changes for the Jayhawks on Tuesday. Freshman quarterback Berglund SIR CHARLES MORRIS Brock Berglund will not be practicing with the team for the remainder of the fall semester due to legal issues, but will remain enrolled at Kansas and be a member of the team. Berglund, a dual threat quarterback recruit, was expected to compete for the starting job, but missed all spring practices and some fall practices. He is currently dealing with a third-degree assault charge in Colorado. Berglund pleaded not guilty in July. The trial is set for Dec. 13-14. "Due to legal issues, Brock will no longer be attending practices with the team this fall." Gill said in a press release. "He will remain enrolled as a KU student, and plans to resume all team activities in the spring semester." Berglund did not suit up for the Family Fest scrimage on Saturday, Aug 20. Sophomore running back Deshaun Sands has been removed from the team effective immediately for violating team rules. Sandra Sands Sands was arrested on Saturday on an outstanding warrant for missing a June court date. Sands missed his original court date after being cited for disturbing the peace in April. Sands, the son of former Kansas running back and single game rushing record holder Tony Sands, rushed for 211 yards on 55 carries and one touchdown in 2010 after redshirting the 2009 season. Ethan Pgdway Volume 124 Issue 5 kansan.com PAGE 100 Thursday, August 25, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Jayplay PUT A RING ON IT UDK NO DRESS CODE, NO PROBLEM CHANCE PENNER cpenner@kansan.com Emma Springer receives her paycheck from the University just like 13,000 other KU employees. However, the dress code for Springer, a junior from Wichita, doesn't involve nametags, uniforms or professional attire. In fact, it involves nothing at all. Springer models nude for the School of Art and Design. She has been doing so since her sophomore year of college. "My friend suggested that I do it," Springer said. "She thought I'd be perfect for it because I did theater in high school, and I don't really get embarrassed in front of people." Springer said she applied for the job by email and was hired almost immediately. "They didn't even need to see me," she said. Her work environment is considerably different than the standard campus part-time job. She begins by changing into a robe inside a private dressing room. She then goes into the classroom and waits until it is time for the drawing to begin to take the garment off. Springer said she receives $9.50 for an hour-long class drawing session. While 20 pairs of eyes focused on a person's birthday suit may often be the plot of someone's nightmare, Springer said she only has positive reactions to the experience. "I feel really good about myself," she said. "I think the job helps with my body image." Self esteem boosts may be an intangible perk to the modeling profession, but the final pieces of art provide Springer more concrete benefits. “There was this one portrait that a guy made for me, and I loved it and asked if I could buy it from him,” Springer said. “I got it for 50 bucks and he even threw in a drawing. It's of me turning, so it's like three naked Emmas with five boobs on it. I call it 'The Boob Monster.'" While Springer said she's comfortable with nudity, students on the other side of the easel may not be. Michelle Gerster, a junior from Frankfort, said drawing a nude subject can be awkward at first. However, she prefers drawing live models to still subjects. “You're drawing a living being,” Gerster said. “You see their breathing and you get to see the person behind the model, as opposed to just staring at a vase.” Gerster said that she would want to try nude modeling because "I wouldn't want people on campus to recognize me," she said. "It could be weird making small talk with someone who's seen me naked." Springer said she could see herself following in the footsteps of Kent Van Dusseldorp, a 57-year-old co-worker from Kansas City. HUMAN RIGHTS Bustour promotes activism for LGBT community DANA MEREDITH dmeredith@kansan.com MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPUS LIT A colossal navy blue and yellow bus sat at the Kansas Union Wednesday as a symbol for the LGBT community. Passersby examined the tents, pamphlets and panels of "On the Road to Equality," a bus tour created to promote LGBT equality and challenge discrimination. The tour was launched by a Washington D.C.-based organization called The Human Rights Campaign, and runs from Aug. 12 to Oct. 30, spanning 17 cities throughout the South and Midwest. Lawrence was the third stop on the trip. According to the group, none of the states on the tour have statewide recognition of same-sex relationships nor do they mention sexual orientation or gender identity in their non-discrimination laws. "One of the things that we find really, really powerful is just simple conversation between folks," said Candace Gingrich-Jones, renowned LGBT-rights activist and an associate director of The Human Rights Campaign.

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD Associated Press --- SANTIAGO, CHILE Protesters supporting a 48-hour strike called by student groups, unions and opposition politicians threw up burning barricades and clashed with police Wednesday to demand fundamental changes in Chile. At least 11 people were injured and 35 arrested, police said. The day began with a pot-banging protest known as a "caceroleo," conducted by students who have been boycotting classes for three months to demand improvements in public education. Treasury Secretary Felipe Lar- Treasury Secretary Felipe Larrain said the strike would cost Chile $200 million a day in loss production. NAIROBI, KENYA A U.S. monitoring group said Wednesday that satellite imagery had revealed the existence of two more mass graves in a contested region of Sudan, bringing the total number of mass graves sited there to eight. The Satellite Sentinel Project, a group backed by actor and Sudan activist George Clooney, said that witnesses told the group that a backhoe was used to dig some of the graves at sites in Kadugli, South Kordofan. Workers with the Sudanese Red Crescent Society were present during some of the burials, the group said. The U.S. group has not made any estimates of the number of bodies buried in the graves. MOSCOW An unmanned Russian supply ship bound for the International Space Station failed to reach its planned orbit Wednesday, and pieces of it fell in Siberia amid a thunderous explosion, officials said. A brief statement from Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, did not specify whether the Progress supply ship that was launched from the Bakauron cosmodrome in Kazakhstan had been lost. But the state news agency RIA Novosti quoted Alexander Borisov, head of a the Choiksy region in Russia's Altai province, as saying pieces of the craft fell in his area some 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) northeast of the launch site. NEW DELHI Four Indian lawmakers were charged Wednesday for their role in an alleged cash-for-votes scandal during a crucial confidence vote the ruling Congress party faced in 2008, a police official said. The four men charged were Amar Singh, Ashok Argal, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Bhagora, said a senior police official who declined to be named because he wasn't allowed to speak to reporters. Socialist Party lawmaker Amar Singh has been accused of bribing three legislators from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party to vote in favor of the government. The police official didn't give more detail about the charges each man faced. CONSTRUCTION 图2-13 建川图书馆 JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN Engineering students and faculty await the completion of the engineering research building. Once opened, the new building will create a space for students to gain hands on experience, which will prepare them for their future careers. New lab closer to completion JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH jblakeborough@kansan.com Construction of the new engineering research laboratory in front of Learned Hall is moving along faster than scheduled. "My office looks directly out on the construction site so I get to see it all," Marotz said. "Sometimes I'll have my back to the window for a while and when I turn around there is something new already up." According to Glen Marotz, associate dean of the engineering department and principle investigator of the grant, the building will be ready to open before the previously scheduled date in June 2012. Nahal Niakan, a first year graduate student from Tehran, Iran, believes the new research labs will be important in obtaining real life experience and, with hope, a job. The research laboratory is the first phase in a two-part process of construction and reorganization of the engineering department. The structure of a 100,000 square foot facility has been approved through state legislature and is in the early stages of planning. Construction will begin in June 2012 when the research building is completed. "It's extremely important for us to actually be able to work with something". Niakan said. "An engineering company is going to want you to actually be able to do something, not just theorize." The new building is a part of the "The BEI building will have a combination of teaching and lab spaces, student services, research opportunities and it will allow us to expand upon the government grant and will allow us to house the new thirty faculty members we will be hiring." Marotz said. "Building of Excellence Initiative", which was developed by the dean of the engineering school, Stuart Bell, in conjunction with Wichita State University and Kansas State University. Gov. Sam Brownback approved of BEI proposal. During the summer months construction on a utility tunnel shut down traffic on 15th Street, but Marotz said it was nothing out of the ordinary. "There are typical inconveniences when you are building things, but I don't anticipate any problems in the future." Marotz said. Everyone from lab instructors and engineers to students sitting in on the process will have to go through extensive laboratory training before they may enter the labs. Marotz said the building's key card scanners will prevent uncertified peoples from entering the labs. For students worried about receiving more KU text message alerts similar to the frequent chemical spill warnings in Mallot Hall, Marotz assures there will be no problems despite the inherent dangerous materials engineers will be working with. — Edited by Alexandra Esposito It's NOT too late...

V THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2011 PAGE 3 BUS FROM PAGE 1 because of the color of your skin or your religion, you can do something about it," Gingrich-Jones said. "But if you're an LGBT kid, or somebody just thinks that you're queer, there's no protection for you." Some may argue that there are places in Kansas other than Lawrence that the bus tour should consider. In 1995, Lawrence became the only city in Kansas to add sexual orientation to its non-discrimination policy. Cromwell said that Wichita introduced a similar policy in the 1970s, but it was quickly repealed. Mayor Aron Cromwell, who attended the event, said that this kind of message is vital to an academic environment. However, Gingrich-Jones said that while many college campuses are already supportive of LGBT issues, students also need to be moved to act. "But is the choir singing?" Ging- rich lones said. She acknowledged that the tour may be preaching to the choir. "This sort of event is exactly what should be happening here," Cromwell said. Timmy Hewitt, a junior from Arkansas City, set up a tent across from the bus to recruit students for Delta Lambda Phi, a fraternity for gay, bisexual and progressive men. Cromwell said that he hoped to soon introduce legislation to include gender identity in the city's non-discrimination policy. However, he said he was cautious about trying to change too much too fast. "We are dependent on Topeka for a lot of things." Cromwell said. "So we have to be careful." Hewitt said he was concerned that with politics becoming more divided, LGBT rights were being "thrown under the bus." Student-led activism is what Gingrich Jones said she is hoping to accomplish with the bus tour. "I think that the college-aged people need to go ahead and take over already," he said. "The students here at KU, they're the future school board members, the future mayors, members of Congress," she said. "They're going to be the decision makers. And to engage folks now, generally tends to keep folks engaged." Edited by Jennifer DiDonato MODELS FROM PAGE 1 Van Dusseldorp has been modeling at various schools around the Kansas City area since 2006. "I like being part of the art process as well as the learning process," Van Dusseldorp said. "A class doesn't go by that I don't see some amazing work being done." Van Dusseldorp said that modeling helps him to further his own artistic ventures. "Modeling helps with my photography and drawing." Van Dusseldorp said. I get to hear what the teacher is saying just as much as the students do. The reverse is true as well. Drawing others help me learn what poses work and what don't." Springer said she would consider continuing to model later in life. For now, though, she is focused on her classes and modeling is just like any other college job. "My family treats it like it's a normal job." Springer said. "They just think it's fun to give me a hard time about it. I mean, I get paid to be naked. It's funny." Edited by Adam Strunk CRIME Public Safety arrests student for stalking KU Public Safety officers arrested a University student for stalking at about 11:30 Tuesday night, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. Police made the arrest on the 1700 block of Anna Drive, which is in the Stouffer Place apartments, northeast of 19th and Iowa Streets. Staff at the Douglas County Jail reported that the suspect was being held without bond Wednesday and is scheduled to appear in court Thursday at 3:30 p.m. The suspect is listed in the University's directory as a graduate research assistant. The Kansan typically does not name criminal suspects until they have been charged. — Ian Cummings Don't let your roommate get you sick HEALTH KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Living in close quarters forces students to interact with roommates, even when they are sick. Without taking precautions, illness can spread quickly, especially in small apartments and residence halls. The most common illnesses students should be wary of are the common cold, the flu, strep throat and mono, said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "When you arrange your beds in a dorm room, it's best not to have yourself head to head with another person where you can cough or sneeze during the night," Denning said. "If you don't cover that, you're inadvertently splashing and washing them with this aerosol droplet throughout the night." Since these spread through droplets of moisture from sneezing and coughing, Denning said to cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, elbow, shoulder or shirt, and wash hands regularly. Properly setting up the beds in a shared room can also help fend off illness. Other illnesses students might be susceptible to the stomach flu and parasites such as scabies and head lice. Denning advises students not to share clothing or hair brushes Since the stomach flu is spread via Instead, she recommends setting up beds head to foot. contaminated surfaces, avoid sharing food, drinks and dishes "You need to have your own personal space," Denning said. Ashley Cotton, a senior from Topeka, tried to keep her distance when her roommate came down with what seemed like a case of strep throat during her freshman year. Cotton said she spent as much time as possible away from their room in Oliver Hall by staying with her boyfriend, but even that did not work. "I actually ended up getting sick after her," said Cotton, who had a sore throat and a minor infection. "When you get stressed, that makes your immune system depressed," Denning said. "It doesn't work as efficiently." Sometimes even healthy roommates can negatively affect your health. Living with other people can often cause stress. To maintain a healthy immune system, she suggests getting plenty of rest. Eating a healthy diet with foods high in vitamin C, such as oranges and grapefruits, and exercising regularly can also help bolster your body's defenses. Students should avoid smoking or inhaling secondhand smoke, which inhibit the self-cleaning mechanism of the lungs, Denning said. Alcohol should be consumed sparingly, since it decreases the ability to fight infections. — Edited by Lindsey Deiter YOU'LL BE UP, & WE WILL BE TOO!

Fewer women working in prime-time programs The number of women working as writers and directors on prime-time broadcast programs took a big tumble in the 2010-11 season, a new study reports. TELEVISION Women comprised 15 percent of writers on the prime-time dramas, comedies and reality shows on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW, down from 29 percent in the 2009-10 season, according to the report from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University. In the directing ranks, it found, 11 percent were women, compared with 16 percent the previous year. MY DREAMS ARE REALIZED Overall, the center said, women accounted for 41 percent of all on-air characters, down from the record-high 43 percent the year before, and comprised 25 percent of the people working as series creators, producers, executive producers, directors, writers, editors and directors of photography, a decrease of two percentage points. The study, which the center has been doing since the 1995-96 season, is based on surveying one randomly selected episode from each network series during the season. "Statistically speaking, the randomization of the choice of episodes, across many series, should yield an accurate picture of the network of network shows because biases or idiosyncrasies are minimized," said Martha Lauzen, executive director of the center.

The untitled movie is not considered a remake but will take the form of either a sequel or a prequel to the science-fiction original, said Alcon Entertainment, the Hollywood company that had previously acquired rights to the first movie as well as the Phillip K. Dick novel on which it was loosely based. A screenwriter is expected to be hired shortly, and the aim is to enter production in 2013. Alcon said. The original "Blade Runner," which underperformed at the box office but found an audience on home video and television, starred Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a police officer in a dystopian Los Angeles hunting for illegal "replicants," robots who are barely distinguishable from humans. Ford is not expected to be involved in the new version. Alcon principals said that they expected Scott to make a movie that Scott recently completed "Prometheus," a follow-up to another one of his early classics; that movie, a new take on the 1979 hit "Alien," will come out in June. stood apart from the original.

Take your parking issues to the right people You can complain to your friends, family and professors that you have to walk halfway up the hill even when you have a car, but that won't help the problem at all. Students need to be proactive and address their concerns with both KU Parking & Transit and the three student members of the University's Parking Commission. Whether it's the University of Kansas, or Dodge City Community College, parking is and will always be a perceived problem for students. WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO FREE FOR ALL?

The commission is an advisory body to the department that also handles appeals to parking fines. It's composed of three students, three faculty, two unclassified staff and two university support staff. It's up to students to report their inconveniences and problems to the parking department. If it's the lack of yellow zone spaces around your house, or a tire-busting pothole at the entrance of your parking garage, email kupark@ku.edu or attend the next parking open forum in the spring. "Sometimes we're so close to the problem, we can't see it," director Donna Hultine said. The three students on the commission are Elizabeth Watson (elizabethw@ku.edu), Ross Miller (rtmill@ku.edu), and Gabe Bliss (gbliss@ku.edu). Although they're appointed by the Provost, they still have a duty to reach out for students' parking concerns and represent those issues on the commission.

But it cannot fix all the problems on its own. There is reasoning behind these seemingly anti-student lot changes. The pharmacy school's overwhelmingly increasing student headcount meant that faculty needed to be assured spots. The museum's lot wasn't overused by students, and when the Mississippi Street garage was full, the parking department contacted all garage permit holders telling them they can park in the surrounding zones.

I mean, sure, I love and miss a lot of people I went to high school with now that I'm in my fourth year at the University of Kansas (at the end of this article it says I'm a junior, that's not a typo. Yay, class dropping!), but some of those chumps were whack, ya dig? And I know, 'cause of Facebook. The place where you can physically showcase your friends or, y'know, everybody you've ever spoken more than two words to. She's having a baby, he loves his "cowgit"; and they're clearly still in major denial about their sexuality. They're all right there. At your fingertips. Every time you get on your "newsfeed," BAM, there they are with their weird shamrock tattoos and alien-looking babies. By Chance Carmichael ccarmichael@kansan.com I know this has probably become some cliché, coming every which way from 40- and 50-year-olds in your life, but we didn't always have the Look-At Me Machine (that term was coined by my comedian friend, Matt Keka, aka the "I'm a snake" guy from Tosh.0 Yep, I just named dropped the "I'm a snake" guy). Our parents had to see their old high school friends got fat or had three kids named Braiden, Cayden and Raiden in person at Dillons or something. And boy, oh boy, did they have to train their eyebrows not to raise incredulously and their mouths not to gape out of surprise. I get that some of you are annoyed by this social networking mania that has made Google+ a thing that exists and something you probably have an account for now. But you have to look at the brightside. When you feel terrible about having to stay an extra year here, look up Lacey Nobody (what is up with the name "Lacey"? I was watching Campus P.D. earlier this summer and two girls in a row who were busted were named Lacey) and remind yourself of how they flunked out of Emporia State. If you feel you've gotten fat, there's probably someone who got way fatter. That's the beauty of social networking. It's not so much about the networking as it is about making fun of every person you've ever spoken more than a sentence to. And to the freshmen, you'll get it in due time. I feel kind of like a drama mask when I see someone defriended me (can we discuss how "unfriended" became the word? defriended sounds so much better!). At first, I'm like, "WHAT! She defriended me? But we talked all the time in Geometry four years ago!" Then all, "She was a bigoted gay-hating, race-bashing sack of foot fungus who will probably live and die having accomplished nothing, but a bunch of shittily picnicked pictures!" Feels good, man. —Chance Carmichael is a junior in creative writing from Mulvane. Follow him on twitter @ChanceCmical. Anyway, I like where I am. And you should too. I mean, unless you're one of the weirdies that shows up on your friends' newsfeed. Admit it. You go through and read your info and look at your profile pictures, you narcissist. Why? Because you care about yourself. That's a good thing. I'm happy I'm not trapped in Mulvane (or to those from Johnson County, "South of Wichita"). Johnson County is the Bermuda triangle of Kansas — except there aren't giant squids there, just wealthy ignorance). Because then my newsfeed would just be my window. Although Mulvane does have a Chinese restaurant and a Taco Bell now, so there's that.

The report states government forces "routinely prevented the wounded from getting medical assistance, and imposed a siege on several towns, depriving the population of basic services." At the University of Kansas, students have tons of great opportunities academically, socially, and otherwise. We have these opportunities because as American students, our rights are protected. In Syria, the ongoing protests against the government began when citizens took to the streets in March after a student who wrote anti-government graffiti was tortured. President Bashar al-Assad has been sending government forces to violently squash anti-government demonstrations. Imagine, though, that we didn't have student rights. This report conclusively determines that the Assad administration has no legitimacy to rule. As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said, it can no longer be considered "a credible member of the international community" President Obama has called for Assad to step down, and human rights organizations are labeling the government's violence as crimes against humanity. Many people worldwide are calling for the UN Security Council to take a firmer stance against the Syrian government. These events and efforts should be a reminder to students locally that they are fortunate their rights are protected and they should exercise By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com their rights peacefully when they feel it is necessary. We have the right and ability to agree or disagree with university policies or governmental policies. At the University, our student government offers a venue for discussing our stances on these issues and, when we want to make change, doing something about it. When students and community members filled up the room at a senate meeting last semester because of their dedication to organizations that provide social services to students in Lawrence, I was proud to see students taking an interest in what the student government was doing and exercising their rights. I hope this involvement continues this semester. Although providing input at a town hall meeting or showing up at student senate is on a much smaller scale than protesting an abusive national government, I hope students do not take these abilities: for granted. I hope what is happening in Syria and other nations reminds students to appreciate and exercise the rights they have. —Kelly Cosby is senior in English and political science from Overland Park.

The commission is an advisory body to the department that also handles appeals to parking fines. It's composed of three students, three faculty, two unclassified staff and two university support staff. The three students on the commission are Elizabeth Watson (elizebhw@ku.edu), Ross Miller (rtmill@ku.edu), and Gabe Bliss (gbliss@ku.edu). Although they're appointed by the Provost, they still have a duty to reach out for students' parking concerns and represent those issues on the commission. You can complain to your friends, family and professors that you have to walk halfway up the hill even when you have a car, but that won't help the problem at all. Students need to be proactive and address their concerns with both KU Parking & Transit and the three student members of the University's Parking Commission. Whether it's the University of Kansas, or Dodge City Community College, parking is and will always be a perceived problem for students. Now it's even tougher to get a spot near your class or work. Parts of some yellow zone lots across campus were converted to red or eliminated. Lot changes on West Campus now give pharmacy students the choice of either risking luck and time on finding an empty Email the right people, and make parking on campus easier. spot or playing it safe by relying on Park & Ride. Lots by the Spencer Museum of Art are always full, and the Mississippi Street Parking Garage was at overflow capacity earlier this week and has already sold out student parking passes. There is reasoning behind these seemingly anti-student lot changes. The pharmacy school's overwhelmingly increasing student headcount meant that faculty needed to be assured spots. The museum's lot wasn't overused by students, and when the Mississippi Street garage was full, the parking department contacted all garage permit holders telling them they can park in the surrounding zones. KU Parking & Transit supports itself. With a $2.6 million operating reserve, and a $600,000 external fund balance used to It's up to students to report their inconveniences and problems to the parking department.

But it cannot fix all the problems on its own. -Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board "Sometimes we're so close to the problem, we can't see it," director Donna Hultine said. If you feel uncomfortable doing that, or you just don't trust the University's department, talk to your three student representatives on the parking commis- Enjoy the reassurance of Facebook-stalking SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook is a brilliant reminder of how super lame my hometown is (get ready, Vaners, this whole article is a backhanded shoutout). I mean, sure, I love and miss a lot of people I went to high school with now that I'm in my fourth year at the University of Kansas (at the end of this article it says I'm a junior, that's not a typo. Yay, class dropping!), but some of those chumps were whack, wak dig? By Chance Carmichael ccarmichael@kansan.com And I know, 'cause of Facebook. The place where you can physically showcase your friends or, y'know, everybody you've ever spoken more than two words to. She's having a baby, he loves his "cowgirl," and they're clearly still in major denial about their sexuality. They're all right there. At your fingertips. Every time you get on your "newsfeed," BAM, there they are with their weird shamrock tattoos and alien-looking babies. I know this has probably become some cliché, coming every which way from 40- and 50-year-olds in your life, but we didn't always have the Look-At Me Machine (that term was coined by my comedian friend, Matt Keck, aka the "I'm a snake" guy from Tosh.0, Yep, I just named ropped the "I'm a snake" guy). Our parents had to see their old high school friends got fat or had three kids named Braiden, Cayden and Raidon in person at Dillons or something. And boy, oh boy, did they have to train their eyebrows not to raise incredulously and their mouths not to gape out of surprise. I get that some of you are annoyed by this social networking mania that has made Google+ a thing that exists and something you probably have an account for now. But you have to look at the brightside. When you feel terrible about having to stay an extra year here, look up Lacey Nobody (what is up with the name "Lacey"? I was watching Campus P.D. earlier this summer and two girls in a row who were busted were named Lacey) and remind yourself of how they flunked out of Emporia State. If you feel you've gotten fat, there's probably someone who got way fatter. than a sentence to. That's the beauty of social networking. It's not so much about the networking as it is about making fun of every person you've ever spoken more And to the freshmen, you'll get it in due time. I feel kind of like a drama mask when I see someone defriended me (can we discuss how "unfriended" became the word? defriended sounds so much better!). At first, I'm like, "WHAT! She defriended me? But we talked all the time in Geometry four years ago!" Then I'm all, "She was a bigoted gay-hating, race-bashing sack of foot fungus who will probably live and die having accomplished nothing, but a bunch of shittily picnicked pictures!" Feels good, man. Anyway, I like where I am. And you should too. I mean, unless you're one of the weirdies that shows up on your friends' newsfeed. Admit it. You go through and read your info and look at your profile pictures, you narcissist. Why? Because you care about yourself. That's a good thing, I'm happy I'm not trapped in Mulvane (or to those from Johnson County, "South of Wichita"). Johnson County is the Bermuda triangle of Kansas — except there aren't giant squids there, just wealthy ignorance). Because then my newsfeed would just be my window. Although Mulvane does have a Chinese restaurant and a Taco Bell now, so there that's. —Chance Carmichael is a junior in creative writing from Mulvane. Follow him on Twitter @ChanceComical.

The report states government forces "routinely prevented the wounded from getting medical assistance, and imposed a siege on several towns, depriving the population of basic services." Imagine, though, that we didn't have student rights. At the University of Kansas, students have tons of great opportunities academically, socially, and otherwise. We have these opportunities because as American students, our rights are protected. In Syria, the ongoing protests against the government began when citizens took to the streets in March after a student who wrote anti-government graffiti was tortured. President Bashar al-Assad has been sending government forces to violently squash anti-government demonstrations. This report conclusively determines that the Assad administration has no legitimacy to rule. As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said, it can no longer be considered "a credible member of the international community" President Obama has called for Assad to step down, and human rights organizations are labeling the government's violence as crimes against humanity. Many people worldwide are calling for the UN Security Council to take a firmer stance against the Syrian government. These events and efforts should be a reminder to students locally that they are fortunate their rights are protected and they should exercise By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com their rights peacefully when they feel it is necessary. We have the right and ability to agree or disagree with university policies or governmental policies. At the University, our student government offers a venue for discussing our stances on these issues and, when we want to make change, doing something about it. When students and community members filled up the room at a senate meeting last semester because of their dedication to organizations that provide social services to students in Lawrence, I was proud to see students taking an interest in what the student government was doing and exercising their rights. I hope this involvement continues this semester. Although providing input at a town hall meeting or showing up at student senate is on a much smaller scale than protesting an abusive national government, I hope students do not take these abilities for granted. I hope what is happening in Syria and other nations reminds students to appreciate and exercise the rights they have. Kelly Cosby is senior in English and political science from Overland Park.

PAGE 6 THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2011 FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1 the quarterback, Agostinho can be moved around in different sets and formations and the defense won't be hurt by any lack of speed. Agostinho is an all-around defensive end, which is something the Kansas defensive line desperately needs. With two other starters being converted from a different position, the jayhawks' need the natural talent Agostinho has. Wyatt said Agostinho has been his most consistent defensive lineman for Kansas so far this fall. "I call him the technician, because he's very sound with his technique," Wyatt said. "He's very smart, he doesn't bust assignments very often, and he doesn't miss the line very often." His potential to stop the run and affect the opponents' pass game is unrivaled on the Jayhawks offensive line. Whether he can reach that potential or not remains to be seen. — Edited by Alexandra Esposito the golf course and in the class room is perseverance. Catt has now been playing golf for more than a decade and routinely stays after practice to work on his swing and his short game. GOLF FROM PAGE 1 "You really just have to be mentally focused and prepared to do well," Catt said. "People think of golf as 'Wow, anyone can do that and you don't have to physically exert yourself' but we play tournaments in two days with 36 holes on the first day and 18 the next and you're walking that whole time. Then you go home and sleep and wake up the next morning ready to do it all over again." Although Catt doesn't plan on pursuing a career in golf or turning professional, he said he's glad he kept with it in college. "I wanted to see how good I could really become and reach my full potential," he said. "I'm playing for the University of Kansas and I've always loved KU." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN He still has a lot of time left and plans to work hard every minute of it. Motivation can be hard, but Catt only has one thing on his mind. "You're representing the Jayhawk on your bag, so that's always motivation," he said. Look for Catt and the rest of the Jayhawk men's golf team when they kick their season off in September. Edited by Adam Strunk MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS Toronto Blue Jays' Yonel Escobar, right, leaps to turn a double play over Kansas City Royals' Mike Moustakas during the second inning of a baseball game in toronto last night. Royals give up lead, fall to Blue Jays, 4-3 ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — Brett Lawrie hit a tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning, Jose Bautista added his major league-leading 37th homer and the Toronto Blue Jay's beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Wednesday night. Jesse Litsch (5-3) pitched one scoreless inning of relief for the win. Frank Francisco worked ninth for his 11 save. Melky Cabrera walked to begin the ninth and, after Billy Butler lined out, stole second. Francisco struck out Eric Hosmer and ended it by getting Jeff Francoeur to line out to right. Louis Coleman (1-3) took the loss for the Royals, who have not won consecutive games since Aug. 3-4. Kansas City has won four of its past 16. Lawrie broke a 3-3 tie with a leadoff blast to the seventh, his fourth. The rookie third baseman also hit an RBI triple in the fourth. Toronto's Ricky Romero came in with a 5-10 record and 0.89 ERA since July 27, tied for the most wins in the majors while compiling the best ERA in that span. But the left-hander wasn't as sharp against Kansas City, giving up three runs and eight hits in six innings. That was as many earned runs as he had allowed in his previous three starts combined. Romero walked four and struck out three. Gordon walked to open the third, moved to second on a grounder and came home on Butler's RBI single. Toronto scored three runs in the fourth. Yunel Escobar was hit by a pitch from right-hander Luke Hochevar and Bautista responded to a brushback by hitting a towering home run off the facing of the third deck in left. One out later, Edwin Encarnacion singled and then scored on Lawrie's triple to left-center. Romero hit Alex Gordon to join the first and the Royals outster stole second before scoring Butler's double. Kansas City tied it when Gordon led off the fifth with a homer to right his career-high 17th. COLLEGE 98 DINING MATH Golfers punished for naked photos ASSOCIATED PRESS LINDSBORG — Bethany College golf team members were awaiting word Wednesday on whether nearly half of their fall season would be wiped out because a nude photo of the team went viral on the Internet. Edward Leonard III, president of the small, private central Kansas college, announced Monday the team would not be allowed to compete in its first three meets in September. There are only seven meets, including the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament, on the Swedes' fall schedule. Norrie Steyn, a junior co-captain from South Africa, said team members had fun doing the impromptu shoot, which features 14 team members standing side-by-side, completely nude other than shorts around their ankles and strategically placed golf clubs hiding their genitalia. Steyn told The Associated Press on Wednesday the photo was taken after the official team shot was finished and the coaches were gone. The team got the idea from a 2004 UCLA photo that featured team members naked except for buckets of golf balls each player used to shield their privates. Leonard was not amused. On Monday he announced the three-meet penalty and said the school hopes the players can learn from their mistake. "These students made what they though was a harmless decision, but there are ramifications of their actions," Leonard said in an emailed statement. "Their names are out there on the Internet with this photo indefinitely. They also affected Bethany College when they captioned their photo as the Swedes golf team. Even though this photo does not align with Bethany's values, we we can turn this situation into one that can educate the players and our other students about the responsibilities they have and how carefully they should consider their decisions." Golf coach Jon Daniels, who has been a coach at Bethany since 1981 and head of the golf team since 1993, said he found out about the photo in an email, and he knew it wasn't going to be good. Daniels was upbeat and taking the whole episode in stride Wednesday, noting he was getting messages from all over the world, some of them from former players who ribbed him about the photos. The story even aired on the Golf Channel. "We're traditionally a top 25 team in the country, we have a 3.2 grade-point average as a team, we do community service work, and it always goes unnoticed," Daniels said. "Then this thing comes up. It's unbelievable. It's a learning experience for an old guy who's learning the power of Facebook." The Lindsborg photographer who shot both the official and unofficial team pictures declined to comment Wednesday. The players expected a ruling on their appeal of the three-meet suspension Wednesday afternoon. Normally they would appeal to the athletic director, but since that is Daniels, the appeal will go to Leonard. Daniels said the tournaments Sept. 12 and 13 in Springfield, Mo., and the Central Christian meet in McPherson, and the Oklahoma Baptist meet Sept. 19 in Shawnee, Okla. - would have been warm-ups for the fall Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament. "The only thing it might do, we're missing two warm-up tournaments before the only designated conference tournament in the fall," Daniels said. "We're a good enough team that we ought to be able to overcome that. But wed like to have some tournaments under our belt." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Home housing SALE for sale SALE announcements ...

Here are my top five pet peeves in sports: 5. Only using instant replay in baseball for home run calls. By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com Don't get me wrong, I'm all about preserving the human element of the game, but if you're going to implement the use of instant replay, why are we only using it to review home runs? Ultimately, I just want to see the right call being made on the field. There have been so many inexcusable calls made by umpires even with the use of instant replay. If we used it on everything but balls and strikes, fans and players would be much happier. No one wants to see a repeat of the Armando Galarraga perfect game that wasn't, especially Jim Joyce. 4. Networks only airing certain games based on location. 4. Networks only airing certain games based on location. Come Saturday, I always look forward to the FOX baseball game of the week. Throughout the week I see reoccurring commercials for the Yankees-Red Sox game, so I assume that's the game that they will air that weekend. However, on game day, after all the pregame shenanigans, they cut to the Cubs-Cardinals game. Come on, really? Just because I live in the Midwest doesn't mean I should be deprived from watching the best rivalry in sports. Worst of all, even if you have the baseball channels, the game is blacked out because it is assumed you can watch it on FOX. 3. Calling an umpire a "ref." So you're at a baseball game. All of a sudden, you hear a man yell, "Hey ref, that was a horrible call!" Okay, I see two issues here. First, did he ask for your opinion? I didn't think so. Second, you just made yourself look like a complete idiot in front of thousands of people. They're called umpires, or if you want to switch it up, "ump" or "blue" are also acceptable. Just stay away from calling them "refs"; you aren't at a basketball game. 2. Soccer games ending in a 0-0 tie. Last year, I tried really hard to like soccer. I really did. I glued myself to the TV and watched endless coverage of the games. But it's hard to like a sport when, like in the Men's World Cup final, neither team scored a goal until the 116th minute. The thing is, sports fans around the country have become so accustomed to watching sports where not only are the scores higher, but there is an element of excitement that comes with two teams battling in the final seconds of a high scoring contest. I just can't stand watching a 90-minute soccer match knowing that at the end of the day, it could go in the books as a draw. 1. Still ao ESPN: The Ocho. "If it's almost a sport, we've got it here." Seriously, who wouldn't want to watch such a fine network like this? I'm pretty sure it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Come on, ESPN; make it happen.

While the Universities of Nebraska and Colorado abandoned the Big 12 conference last summer, Texas A&M reluctantly stayed. It danced with the Southeastern Conference. It sent flowers. It had a few late night conversations. But it stayed because the SEC didn't extend an offer, even signing a new agreement with the remaining 10 Big 12 schools, pledging allegiance to the conference while every institution attempted to convince fans it was anything but a 100 mph train wreck waiting to happen BE ON THE LOOKOUT Sophomore line backer Toben Opurum sacks Missouri's junior quarterback Jarrell Harrison during the second half of the Border Showdown last season. The Jayhawks start their season on Sent. 3. That old fling called back recently, just to see how things were going. Talks escalated, rumors swirled faster than lunchtime in junior high, and the SEC did what it should have, announcing it was content with their current 12-team league. Poaching teams from other conferences is bad for business. As of today, Texas A&M is still a member of the Big 12 conference. Will that change in the coming months, or even weeks? I have no doubts that it will. A&M will officially leave the conference, pay its penalty for leaving and maybe even deal with a lawsuit. The SEC will let the dust settle before welcoming the Aggies and their Texas television sets and recruiting hotbed in with open arms. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN FILE PHOTO — Edited by Mike Lavieri Other possible replacements wouldn't be worth their share of the television contract. It's a sticky situation, to say the least. A situation that will probably doom the 16-year-old conference. Then again, the remaining schools could sing "Kumbaya" and tell us everything is fine in the heartland. That seemed to work really well last summer. FOOTBALL'S FINEST There isn't a single BCS conference school that would join the Big 12 right now, so remove any ideas of poaching a team like Louisville. And if you think Arkansas would leave the SEC — as I've heard a few Kansas fans mention for geographic reasons — you must live in a nice world because that isn't happening. It looks better that wav. Contrary to what bitter Big 12 fans will say — and contrary to what they said about Nebraska last summer — this says much more about the Big 12 than it does Texas A&M. Will the Aggies compete in the SEC West with schools like Auburn, LSU, and Alabama? Not a chance. Is that affecting their feelings of jumping off this Titanic of a conference? Not a chance. That tells you all you need to know. The Big 12 has been on life support for at least 12 months and there's not many legitimate options to replace Texas A&M, if and when it leaves. Take a peek at some of this year's talent MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Kansas football team is back and ready for a year of reputation recovery. Football fans will have a lot to look forward to when these talented players combine forces this season. Here's a preview of this year's team. TOBEN OPURUM His second full season on the defensive line has come with plenty of hype after ending last season as one of the defenses' top players. M. EBOND His ability comes from his days as a running back for Kansas, giving him plenty of athleticism. *Opatrum*.* Opurum natural athletic skills are rare for a defensive end and should pay dividends in the pass-rushing game. While pass rush was the focus with Opurum last year, as a full-time defensive end, his run defense will need to improve as well. His rush defense should improve, as Opurum is up 20 pounds from when he first came to Kansas, now weighing around 249 pounds. His added size will help him with offensive lineman, as will his lower-body strength. Opurum started the last six games last season, finishing with 21 tackles, three for a loss, and one sack. While the stats weren't strong, his play improved at the end of the season. Shealy also had nothing but positive words to say about the rusher and how he's come along this fall in practice. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy has said that they will move him around a lot, which is a common tactic defense used with strong pass rushers. "He's playing smart, he's playing athletic, he's playing with great body control," Shealy said. "Were encouraged in what we see." RICHARD JOHNSON A 6-foot-3, 283 pound gap stopper, Johnson will be a more mobile addition to the core of the offensive line. TOM MCGARRICK Johnson When senior defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey broke his leg, Johnson got the opportunity to start once again. After starting for a portion of the last three seasons, Johnson began fall camp behind Dorsey and as a likely backup for the entire season. Defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt said Dorsey had been a leader of the defensive line and Johnson could be a guy to fill that role as well. Johnson will have an opportunity to prove his right to start during this season's first three games. A former all-state defensive end out of Missouri, Johnson can be moved around on the line, which is a big asset to the defense. Another big plus for Johnson is his experience. Being familiar with blockers is all too valuable for defensive lineman. He can anticipate the lineman's moves and he knows what they're trying to do after the snap. In his freshman and sophomore seasons, he started a combined 13 games and had 30 tackles. Last year, he started every game at defensive tackle and had 37 tackles on the year. JOHN WILLIAMS Originally recruited as an offensive lineman. Williams brings 6-foot-3 height and 305 pounds to the anchor of the defensive line. Williams began his career at Kansas on the opposite side of the ball, blocking the Williams very position he plays now. Before the colorado game, the move was made to switch Williams. He started that game at defensive tackle and the next seven games that year. Williams' sophomore year was quite different. He played in every game and had 12 tackles and a forced fumble on the year. Williams finished his freshman year with only five tackles and was officially converted to a defensive tackle. KEBA AGOSTINHO Williams will be returning to the starting spot here in his junior year and should be ready for the added playing time now in his second full year as a defensive lineman. Moving from Angola to Texas and now to Kansas, Agostinho has traveled a long way to play defensive end for the Jayhawks. hype out of high school will now have his first chance to show his worth to jayhawks fans. A prospect that came in with Agostinho did play in all 12 games last season, but was mostly a reserve. He finished with seven tackles last season. At 6-foot-3 ,273 pounds, Agostinho is M. MATHISY EWANI Agostinho a big lineman with run-stopping capabilities on the outside — something the Jayhawks desperately needed last year. His speed also makes him a versatile player at defensive end.

Candy is my kryptonite; if you haven't had pretzel M&Ms, get yourself a bag as soon as possible. I'll admit that I love watching horribly acted movies (i.e. anything on the Lifetime Movie Network or Clueless). My iTunes library is full of embarrassment, with everything from Spice Girls to slow jams. Surprisingly, reality TV is one guilty pleasure I don't indulge in. I've only watched a handful of Jersey Shore episodes. Ask me who won the Bachelor last season and I couldn't give you her name. And, I have no desire to "keep up" with the Kardashians. However, I will admit to loving one reality show: Say Yes To the Dress. The show revolves around young women hunting for the perfect wedding dress at an upscale bridal boutique in New York City. There are lots of tears, squeals of excitement and plenty of talk about the upcoming nuptials. Maybe it's the voyeur in me, but I love watching a bride-to-be find that perfect dress. But getting married isn't just about saying "yes" to an a-line gown and a veil. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that the real commitment isn't to a dress and a big reception, but to another person. Couples in college are moving in and getting married quicker and more often. For more on young marriage, check out Michael's story on page eight. While I'm not ready to say "I do" anytime soon, I am committed to making Jayplay great this semester. I can hear my boyfriend sighing in relief all the way from my desk in the newsroom.

Follow Danielle on twitter: @d_fuhrman | BAILEY ATKINSON | HOW WE MET // RYANN PINNEY & TONY CAMPBELL > All great relationships had to start somewhere. You could say that a bathrobe played matchmaker for Ryann Pinney, a senior from Springfield, Mo., and Tony Campell, an alumnus from Overland Park. After all, if Campbell hadn't lent his friend his bathrobe, then the couple might not have met. "It was the first week of classes, and I was riding down an elevator in McCollum," Pinney says. "There was a guy on it wearing a bathrobe. I thought it was funny, so I commented on it and struck up a conversation. We both happened to be going to E's to eat lunch, and I didn't know anybody at school, really, so I asked to sit with him. Tony was at that table." (2) 请在下列空格内填入适当字符，组成正确的短语。 The two hung out as friends for the first month but the couple knew that a romantic relationship was inevitable. "I thought she was fun," Campbell says."She laughed at my jokes, and that mattered." Four years later, Pinney and Campbell are happier than ever. They made the decision to move in together and have learned to appreciate each other. The couple loves dancing and hosting game nights for friends. After Pinney graduates, she hopes to become a high school math teacher, but wherever that job takes her, the couple plans on moving and settling down together. And what happened to the catalytic bathrobe? "We still have it; it's hanging up in our room," Pinney says. "It's mine now."

Although today's traditional college students weren't alive in the 1960s, the Lawrence Arts Center is bringing an exhibit to town aimed to interest all generations. The exhibit features the work of Baron Wolman, the first chief photographer for Rolling Stone magazine. It's made up of portraits he took of artists from the 60s, such as Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix, along with the covers of Rolling Stone and the contact sheet of photographs to show the process that went into choosing a cover shot.

Catt joined the team as a freshman last year but did not get into the lineup very often because of more experienced upperclassmen.

Catt played high school golf for Shawne Mission Northwest being named to the All Metro golf team as a junior and senior. He also broke a 30-year-old school record by shooting a 5-under-par 66 as a junior. Catt's intelligence was also a draw for the KU golf team. Catt was National Merit Scholar finalist.

MICHAEL BEDNAR AVERAGE AGE OF MARRIAGE MALES FEMALES 28 26 *Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census Valerie Gustafson left Paris with much more than an architecture internship and an appreciation for French culture, as she would discover October 8, 2010. It was an unusually warm night in Paris and Gustafson, School of Architecture alumnus from Ulysees, and her boyfriend, Andrew Gindlesberger, also from Ulysses, had spent a leisurely afternoon in the Louvre among ancient statues and 5th-century Dutch paintings, and were meandering along the tiny streets around the Louvre untouched by Hausmann's remodeling of the city. Gindlesberger was insistent the couple go to a nicer place for dinner, but Gustafson was determined not to spend an exorbitant amount on dinner. The two settled on a little café run by a British man. After dinner, they went for a stroll on the lowest sidewalk by the river Seine, stopping to crack open a bottle of wine and stare at the water and revelers crowding around the river at nighttime. "He gave me this whole speech about how he loved me," Gustafson says. "I was like, okay, great." As she and her boyfriend were getting up to leave, he grabbed her, turned her around and - vola - an engagement ring. "I was like, 'Oh my God, what are you doing?', "Gustafson says. It's the kind of proposal story that usually happens only in Julia Roberts films or people's fantasies. Gustafson is unusual not only because her husband proposed to her in Paris, but also because she's engaged to be married in the first place. ❤ CH-CH-CH-CHANGES Not too long ago, it was expected that you'd come out of college with a partner. Now, that's most certainly not the norm, and indeed, many people frown upon marriage at such a young age, as Mark Regnerus, author of the book Premarital Sex in America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate, and Think About Marrying, found while he was interviewing college students for his research. "You have to keep it private, your interest in finding a spouse in college," Regnerus says. "Twenty years ago that wasn't the case." While most college students might be either casually dating, cohabitating or perfectly content to ride solo, a brave few decide to marry; according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 13.6 percent of Americans aged 20-24 are currently married. So what makes them feel they're ready for marriage? And how do they handle being engaged or married during college in a culture that, at times, is very open in its scorn for such arrangements? "Today's young people also are questioning the value of marriage: Why do it? I don't think other generations wrestled with this so much," Vicki Hull, a marriage and family therapist in Lawrence, says. "It was just considered a normal developmental phase of life. Now, it is more of a choice, an option of only one way to live a fulfilling adult life." Regnerus says that another factor in the increasing age of marriage is the economy. As more and more Americans see education as necessary to make a decent living, people feel more drive to develop their careers and settle into their jobs before they even think about marriage. EVERYDAY PEOPLE In high school, Bailey Olsen, a senior from Overland Park engaged to be married, was one of those people who felt there was no way that she'd be committed to marriage before she graduated college. She'd always subscribed to the idea that she had to figure out who she was and find her career before she could even think about marriage. But, she says, her attitude changed after she attended Accelerate, a leadership conference at which organizers encourage participants to examine and develop concrete life goals. "I realized that I did want to be in a relationship, and that I wanted to be part of a family."

Edited by Ben Chipman CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN The Morris Twins are among other former Kansas basketball star to play in Lawrence again. NSA 22 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FEATURE ★ Olsen says. "It was okay if I started making goals towards achieving that." Olsen, and others like her, do face the inevitable questions: are you sure you're ready? Don't your want to wait a while longer and see what else is out there? Are you sure you want to be tied down to one person so early in your life? Caity Lothamer, a senior from Olaf atlesta currently engaged to be married, finds these questions fairly ridiculous. "I've always been a little bit of an old soul, so I feel like I'm ready," Lothamer says. "I'm not a huge partier and I don't go out a lot, so I never felt like I was missing that whole singles scene. It never was for me in the first place." Burk Nordling, a married senior from Hughton, also feels being married has advantages when it comes to college social life. "If anything, it's a lot better. It's a lot less social pressure," Nordling says. "You're married so you have a partner through the social life. You definitely don't get as harassed to go out." Becca Braun, a senior from Hutchinson, got a more surprising reaction when she told her friends she was engaged. "I hear sometimes, 'Well, I wish my boyfriend would propose,'" Braun says. Dove LIVING IN SIN? As cohabitation has become more socially acceptable, more young couples are opting for that as opposed to marriage, Regnerus says. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 41 percent of American women, ages 15-44, have lived with a significant other at some point. But for some young couples, living together is simply not enough. When asked why she didn't merely cohabitate as so many young couples do, Braun was immediate in her response. “Maybe some people do it as a trial period; I guess I didn't need that. We knew that was the next step for us. I was ready to marry him. I couldn't imagine not being married to him,” Braun says. “At a certain point in a relationship, you realize that you want to take that next step and after dating for 6 and $ \frac{1}{2} $ years, both of us wanted that next level of commitment that cohabitating wouldn't have gotten us to.” Part of the reason why so many young people live together today is the idea that if people are going to commit to each other for life, they need to make sure there's not something better out there, Hull, Lawrence marriage and family therapist, says. This means that it can be more challenging for young couples to commit. Regenerer agrees; although, he reiterates that young people are still interested in meaningful, loving relationships – the relationships are just outside the realm of marriage. "They feel like they have to be really picky and really try something out and put it through the test of years and cohabitation," Regnerus says. "And then after several years, [they] can maybe move forward with this thing. We've become a lot more skeptical and slow to move towards marriage." Regnerus is quick to point out that moving in together isn't necessarily a sure sign of failure, and Chris and Lindsay Martin are a testament to that notion. Married for two years (Chris proposed to her in the Birmingham, England, airport while she was studying abroad), the two lived together before they were married. Lindsay attributes part of the success of the marriage to their fierce distance streak, which allowed both of them to study abroad separately during their marriage. "We're really independent. I was the one that said to Chris, you need to go to England for the summer," Lindsay says. "I don't mind that. I think it's important to have experiences even if we are married." 婚姻登记处 CHEAP, BUT UNIQUE [what young couples want in a wedding] Besides the shift in reasons for marrying and average age of first marriage, the way people approach their wedding planning has also changed. While some people may dream about the extravagant wedding, the economic realities of today's financial climate—especially for college students—means such a thing isn't always realistic for two 22-year-olds getting married. But that's another thing that sets millennials apart—many of them are opting for less traditional weddings, Carmen Hocking, a wedding planner and consultant in Lawrence, says. Bailey Olsen is one such person. She says she's more interested in her wedding expressing the commitment she and her fiancé have made towards each other than in having the expensive, extravagant affair. Regnerus says she has the right idea, and that weddings can be as expensive or as affordable as the bride and groom wish to determine. "It's expensive if you want it to be," Regnerus says. Yolanda Crous, senior articles editor at Brides magazine, says there are several ways young couples right out of college can cut costs on their weddings. A do-it-yourself approach to certain projects can help, as can finding a venue that lets you buy your own alcohol. Crous says that marrying on Fridays and Sundays, or early on Saturdays is much less expensive than a later Saturday marriage. As a wedding planner and consultant in Lawrence for two decades, Carmen Hocking says she's seen firsthand the fact that young couples want their weddings to be different. Young couples want "more flair, more color," and some brides are adding colors like hot pink and orange to their wedding outfits. Not exactly the traditional white wedding, but Hocking says it's little unique touches like this that the millennials really want as part of their wedding. One couple she worked with wanted a cotton candy machine at their ceremony. uNG/KANSAN fung from Wichita a student and w lather is the 08 25 11 ssofara said, month and it seems nicer, nats the es- es to an* end fara empha- umunity and throughout Countries colored in red have experienced unrest as a result of the Arab Spring. holy month, every one works a little harder on their spirituality." While Ramadan is a time to connect with the Islamic faith, it is also a time to give back to those who are less fortunate. With campus back in full swing, sometimes it can be difficult for students to take a step back and appreciate all they have in life. Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Arabic Studies Program, Naima Boussofara, believes that Ramadan helps students reflect and connect with who they are. “Sometimes we get caught up the world. “Even though Ramadan is for Muslims, I believe it shares the same values with other religions.” Boussofara said. “There is a bigger openness and understanding.

N you all you + HEALTH GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU// NASAL SPRAY > Sometimes it's hard to tell. You have the cold from hell. Your nose is stuffed, your head is heavy and all you want to do is breathe again. Then, you remember the bottle of medicated nasal spray tucked away in your medicine cabinet. But, before you squirt and sniff away your symptoms, does nasal spray actually help you get well? Jessica Stafford, a junior from Lawrence, used a medicated nasal spray when she caught a cold last year. Stafford says the spray worked so well that she used it all 10 days that her cold persisted. Mark Smith, a pharmacist at Orchards Drug in Lawrence, says decongestant nasal Nasal Bronchitis Photo by Chrristy Nutt Sniff Wisely: Nasal spray can slow a cold if used too often. sprays can have a quick and severe effect on a stuffy nose. "It can really help open you up, and fast, like a stick of dynamite," Smith says. This can help people with severe congestion to get through the initial phase of their colds. Using more than three consecutive days, however, can cause rebound congestion, where the symptoms return soon after usage, and are often worse, Smith says. "The only way to get rid of the symptoms again is to use the nasal spray, creating a vicious cycle." This is exactly what Stafford began to experience while using medicated nasal spray. "The more I used it, the sooner it stopped working," Stafford says. Other possible replacements wouldn't be worth their share of the television contract. It's a sticky situation, to say the least. A situation that will probably doom the 16-year-old conference. Then again, the remaining schools could sing "Kumbaya" and tell us everything is fine in the heartland. That seemed to work really well last summer. Images True and More USED BOOK Although sprays don't consist of any addictive ingredients, people can feel like they have to continue using it to get rid of their symptoms. Because the medicine restricts blood vessels in the nose repetitive use can be harmful on the nasal passage, Smith says. CHRISTY NUTT Verdict: Good for you, if used correctly for a short period of time. > Dude...gross. Photo by Corriss Nutt Don't bug out: Booklice can be easily eliminated. Students expect to find certain things in their textbooks: a table of contents, chapter summaries and pages of text. But what about tiny, creepy, crawling bugs? That's right, I'm talking about booklice- or, as your nerdy science friend might say, psocoptera. THAT'S DISGUSTING // BOOKLICE These tiny bugs get their nickname because of their lice-like features, but don't be confused, they are not lice. According to a professional report from Pennsylvania State University, these wingless bugs feed on mold and fungi that grow on the starchy paste used to bind books and in book ink. Besides being disgusting, these little critters don't pose much of a threat. The report says they don't bite, transmit disease or cause damage to fabric. CHRISTY NUTT Ken Eldredge, entomology graduate student from Tokyo, occasionally finds booklice scurrying inside of old books at his house, but they don't bother him. "I might be biased, but I actually think they are kind of cute," Eldredge says. TOBACCO FREE. It's a beautiful thing.

NSA 22 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN + HEALTH STRAIGHT UP! HOW CLASSROOM POSTURE AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH JACK RAFFERTY Photo Illustration by Travis Young Sit tall. Slouching in while in class or studying is bad for your health As you enter your classrooms for the first time this semester, you'll have about 15 seconds to make your first decision: which seat should you take? As you scan the room, weighing the benefits of a window view against the spot with the beautiful neighbor near the front, you should remind yourself that it's how you sit, not where you sit that affects your health. Besides affecting the way you look, slouching contributes to poor posture, resulting in negative effects on your overall health. "Your spine is the foundation of your health," Shane Fishbin, owner of Café of Life, a chiropractic clinic located in Boulder, Co., says. "If your foundation is weak or damaged, the house will not work well and everything inside of it to take on more strain." Think of your body as a house. Bad classroom posture can lead to the following: POOR VENTILATION Significant time spent performing activities with the arms raised in front of the body, such as using a computer is the leading cause of what is referred to as "rounded shoulders." When in correct position, the shoulders should align the back along the natural curves of the spine and be straight above the hips. In the world of chiropractics, this posture is referred to as "neutral spine alignment." When the shoulders become hunched forward, it restricts the rib cage, which can reduce lung capacity up to 30 percent, according to Dr. Randall Wheeler of Westport Chiropractic and Rehab in Louisville, Ky. SHODDY WIRING When the head is hunched forward, the pressure applied to the c-1 vertebrae (top vertebrae) is significantly increased. "From every one inch increase in forward head posture, it results in a greater load on the muscles in the neck," Dr. Steve Agocs, associate professor at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Overand Park, says. When the arteries and nerves at the base of the brain are compressed, it affects the body's autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating several functions of the body, including heart rate, respiration and digestion. When the bones are misaligned, it can hinder the autonomic nervous system's ability to properly function resulting in several health conditions, such as high blood pressure. After receiving a neck adjustment, participants in the study saw their blood pressure drop an average of 17 points. ROTTING LUMBER Poor posture puts tremendous irregular weight on the frame of the body, causing pain, soreness and aching. The added strain on your back is the result of certain muscles having to work harder to compensate for the misalignment. If not addressed, the additional strain can result in tearing of the muscle fibers. The pinching of nerves along the spine also In addition to muscle tearing, muscle fatigue is one of the most common effects of bad posture. "My back muscles always feel less tight, which allows me to relax," Storm Josiah Shaw, a sophomore from Olathe, says. Shaw began seeing a chiropractor two years ago for muscle tension in his back. causes reoccurring back and neck pain. When the spine is out of alignment, nerves become irritated as a result of additional strain. If the disk between two vertebrae is forced into a position that places pressure on a spinal nerve, the result is commonly referred to as a "herniated disc." LEAKY ATTIC The body system and mind operate in integrated patterns, meaning the mind responds to changes to the body system, such as the tightening or relaxing of muscles. The mind associates muscle tension with feelings of anxiety, frustration and fear. Because the muscles in the back and neck are strained from poor posture, the mind produces correlating emotions to alert the body system that something is wrong. "Because the muscles are tight, the body will struggle in getting enough sleep, which adds to the feelings of stress felt by the individual," Fishbin says. The constricting of the rib cage caused by "rounded shoulders" also contributes to the mind's emotional state. If the lungs are not capable of full expansion, it reduces oxygen levels to the brain causing symptoms associated with stress including constant worrying, depression and memory problems. "I've noticed that the weeks following an adjustment, I not only physically feel better, but more importantly, I feel happier and seem to have a better outlook on life," Shaw says. A HOME MAKEOVER Spinal adjustments done by a chiropractor will not only improve overall health, but will prevent avoidable future health problems. "I use chiropractic adjustments done in a very specific way to help with posture," Agocs says. "As well as stretching, strength exercises, retraining movement patterns, types of traction procedures and other supportive measures to correct postural problems." While chiropractic treatments are typically covered by health insurance, few college students receive regular spinal adjustments. "I think people look at chiropractics as a lesser science when compared to other forms of medical treatment," Shaw says. "But it may also have to do with most people's first instinct when dealing with pain is medication, and chiropractors work to correct the problem instead of just handing out drugs." AT HOME EXERCISES If you are still warming up to the idea of chiropractic treatment, but want to correct your posture, listed below are simple exercises that will help get you started today according to Dr. Miller, chiropractor and owner of Miller Chiropractic Health Center in Olathe. **ARM AND LEG LIFTS:** STRENGTHEN HIP, SHOULDER AND BACK MUSCLES. 1. Lay on stomach with head turned to the side. 2. Push pelvis to the floor and lift left arm and right leg 2-4 inches off the ground. 3. Hold in the air for 5-10 seconds and then alternate to left arm, left leg **LOWER BACK STRETCH:** STRENGTHEN BACK MUSCLES (Requires Exercise Ball) 1. With your feet planted on the ground, place upper half of body on top of the ball. (Only hips touching the ball) 2. Pull arms and upper arms and back towards ceiling until you feel muscles tighten. (Body should be a u' shape) 3. Hold position for 3-5 seconds and repeat. **NECK EXERCISE:** STRENGTHENS NECK MUSCLES TO PROMOTE PROPER HEAD POSITION. 1. Sit in relaxed position. 2. Place one hand on back of head near the base, or top of spine. 3. Gently apply pressure pushing the head forward, but use the neck muscles to prevent the head from moving forward. Your head should remain in proper position, but also feel the resistance applied by your hand. Hold for 20-30 seconds. 11 08 25 11 UNG/KANSAN e from Wichi- from Wichita, e student and l衣 is the an ssofara said. month and it come nicer, at's the es- LIFE IN THE CITY A city is a place where people live.

"It's a fun place to be because we always have a great DJ and the Ice Bar upstairs has good specials too," Scott Montana, senior and door man for the bar, says. "The free cover is definitely a big part of it." During the day, the traditional deli serves a variety of soups and sandwiches, but at night, its bar scene comes to life. Cover is free with a valid KU ID. For $2 more, the upstairs bar offers an outdoor patio with full bar service, a DJ and dance floor, and Quinton's own "Ice Bar" inside. The L-shaped bar is covered with a sheet of ice that is kept frozen all night. "It's the only bar on Mass that's fun on Tuesdays, besides Jazzhaus and Brother's," Sarita Petersen, a senior from Syracuse, Kan., says. "It's always been the place to be." For those who put off their studies until Sunday night, College Night is the perfect excuse to let loose early in the week and relieve some stress. "I study so much that I want to take a break from it," Emily Deutch, Overland Park senior, says. "I love the free cover. Not a lot of bars do that, and we're in college so it's great for me."

STAGE PRESENCE // THE COOL KIDS > Feel free to swoon. The Cool Kids sold out The Granada Theater two years ago and they're back to do it again. The two emcees, Mikey Rocks and Chuck English, who make up the hip-hop duo, met in 2005 via Myspace. Last month, The Cool Kids released a new album titled When Fish Ride Bicycles. "It's kind of like 'when pigs fly' but a little bit cooler," Mikey says. The idea for the album's title came from a Fresh Prince of Bellaire episode, and it represents the struggle they went through legally to get the album released. "We thought the album was going to come out 'when fish really rode bicycles' because we had a bunch of legal B.S. going on with our former partners, so it was a little hectic," Mikey says. After working with artists like Travis Barker, Lil Wayne and Maroon 5, The Cool Kids are excited for their future and their upcoming tour this fall, especially their show in Lawrence. "The kids there are real hype," Mikey says. "Everyone is dope in Lawrence." LIONS Too cool: The Cool Kids return to Lawrence to perform at the Granada Santa night. Contributed photo Mike Logan, owner of The Granada Theater, says he's excited to have the duo back.

The original Fright Night from 1985 was a bona fide horror comedy that delighted in subverting audience expectations at every turn. Now, its inevitable remake arrives at a time when the vampire is suffering another fate worse than death-- one that any sun-fearing bloodsucker would know to avoid: the danger of overexposure. From Twilight to True Blood, vampires are everywhere these days and their modern designation as brooding romantics has robbed them of much of their original grandeur. So how does this newest entry fare? Well, it gets points for moving the action to Las Vegas, which has a largely nocturnal population, and for the inspired casting of Colin Farrell as Jerry Dandridge, the pallid, predatory charmer who moves in next door to Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) and proceeds to seduce both the hapless teen's mother (Toni Collette) and girlfriend (Imogen Poots) into becoming fellow children of the night. Despite its slick direction, the film suffers from an uneven screenplay that tries too hard to please fans of the original by shoehorning in characters that have no place in the restructured plot. . Charlie's friend, Evil Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), is relegated to expository dialogue and his third-act encounter with Charlie reeks of slapstick instead of unanticipated tragedy. These characters only serve to steal valuable screen time from Farrell and when he's not around, this new Fright Night often resembles what its protagonists fear most: a pale, bloodless imitation of life.

NSA 22 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN SPEAK 1 HIGH GOALS HOW ONE WRITER'S BASKETBALL STINT CHANGED HER PERSPECTIVE It was a hoop dream. A fairytale for a kid like me who spent hours outdoors in the driveway with a basketball, pretending to be Michael Jordan, John Stockton or Kansas' own Jackie Stiles. A real-life blood, sweat, grit and tears Cinderella story, and it was happening to me. I was being recruited to play college basketball. I jogged off the hardwood of the main gym of Benedictine College in Atchison after a workout session with the 2006-2007 women's basketball team. Completely out of breath, I squirted ice water from my bottle and tried nonchalantly to mask the sheer astonishment I felt at this team's intensity in an off-season scrimmage. The team was talented and played fluidly, and I imagined myself joining the ranks of those players next year. I began to regain my breath as well as my bearings while the rest of girls milled around casually. Thrilling possibility, pride, anxiety and fatigue swirled inside my head as what I refer to as "basketball zen" lifted its trance on me. This is when total concentration leads to a loss of consciousness of all things except the game you're playing. It's like getting wrapped up in a good book, except instead of getting lost in your imagination, you're actually living it. The scrimmage replayed itself in my head. I had run at the team's speed, learned its basic motion offense, and put up more than a couple good shots—and I hadn't missed. Not one shot. I couldn't believe it. The coach seemed impressed and the world of collegiate sports was at my fingertips. One more short conversation with Coach and I verbally committed myself to the women's basketball squad at Benedictine College. All right, so I wasn't signing a contract with the Boston Celtics, but I was going to be a Lady Raven, and I felt a surging sense of pride that a four-year college wanted me to play for it—for a successful team. With many recent conference titles, seasons with 20-plus wins, and an appearance in its conference's national tournament last year, this was a program with a winning tradition. I was going to be a part of it. I'd fallen in love with basketball at a young age and played every chance I got since joining a team in fourth grade. I went to camps every summer of junior and senior high school. Most of the time, I did it alone, without any of my teammates. I went to high school at Wabaunsee High in Alma, a 2A school in rural Northeast Kansas. We won four games my senior year. I never had a winning season. Women's basketball at WHS has a history of mediocrity, to say the least. Female basketball players from my high school rarely played at the college level, but I continued to play every game and practice every day with careful intensity. I took my leadership role (probably too) seriously. I stayed after practice as long and often as possible, drilling, shooting, dribbling, driving and blowing past imaginary defenders. I wanted to prove to myself, and everyone else, that I could make it. There I was, about to join a team stacked with skilled players who were just as passionate as I. The first few months were what I'd expected; weekly team commitments; 6 a.m. weight training twice a week; grueling afternoon agility and conditioning workouts; an eight-month-long calendar schedule of our daily pre-, regular-, and post-season workouts, practices, games and other team commitments. It was exhausting, but a sense of accomplishment accompanied the end of every long, tiring day. As the season progressed, so did our practices. Conditioning got tougher and expectations rose. As a freshman, I'd likely see little floor time; I knew I was a rookie. I worked hard to improve myself and my team. But very slowly—minuteally—a gap began to grow between my performance and that of my teammates. I saw them become quicker, smarter, more enduring players. I saw myself at a standstill. I It was disheartening. I fed off that feeling and worked harder, but the gap kept growing. Why wasn't I getting better? Frustration, embarrassment and bitterness began to eat at me deeply. I refused to believe I was incapable of something that before was so within my control. I felt like I'd failed. Disappointment replaced my anger, which gave way to indifference. But as those emotions slowly dulled, I came to a realization; sometimes, despite your strongest passions and effort, some things cannot be forced. It was brutally humbling to come to terms with the fact that I couldn't make myself a better athlete. Sports—basketball primarily—had been part of my identity for so long. Now, it was nothing. A hole began to grow in me— a void that basketball had filled with a sense of ability and worth, of being challenged and either rising to success or coping with defeat. But in time, something else found a home in that empty space; writing. I declared my major in journalism upon starting college, but only then, as a sophomore, did I fall in love with writing. I joined the campus newspaper, The Circuit, and began writing on my own. I found myself using the same critical mindset, the same intense attention to detail and perfection that I had demanded of myself on the court. With basketball as my central focus, I had ignored parts of my life in the peripherals. New interests came into view, and before I knew it, something new took hold. The next fall I transferred to KU to focus on my career as a journalist and to explore a future that basketball could never offer me. I still enjoy a friendly (but definitely competitive) pickup game at the rec center on occasion. As much ethic as I learned from the sport, I learned more about myself by letting it go. Even if you miss, always keep shooting. Sometimes you just need to shoot at a different goal.

Mohammed Ghaliouw was arrested by Syrian security police without a cause provided to his family. For Suhayla Sibaai, a sophomore from Wichita, this type of story is not uncommon. "I would go over there and it felt like such a safe place to go. You never had to worry about going out," Sibaia said. They're calling it the Ramadan Massacre because the violence has increased since the beginning of Ramadan earlier this month. Sibaia's cousin's good friend was killed in a random shooting. Deaths are disturbingly common, and, in the past six months, well-documented through amateur videos and internet postings. "You can go on YouTube and see very graphic videos. You will sometimes see kids and older men bleeding to death," Sibaai said. The violence arose in response to protests against the current Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, and the government. The US Department of State classifies the Syrian government as a republic, under the authoritarian military-dominated Arab Socialist Baath Party.

I don't fast just because I am required to; this is my connection with Islam, being Muslim and prayer. This holy month, everyone works a little harder on their spirituality." While Ramadan is a time to connect with the Islamic faith, it is also a time to give back to those who are less fortunate. "We do it to feel how poor people feel," Musleb said. "Fasting makes me more conscious and aware of the things I do have." Nawal Musleh, a sophomore from Wichita, has been fasting since the age of eight.

As Ramadan comes to an end in a few days, Boussofara emphasizes the ideals of community and unity on campus and throughout the world. "Even though Ramadan is for Muslims, I believe it shares the same values with other religions," Boussofara said. "There is a bigger openness and understanding.

Associated Press NEWS AROUND THE WORLD --- The family of a slain University of Idaho graduate student wants to know how the school responded to a complaint she filed this summer against a professor who sometimes referred to himself as "the beast" and, police say, eventually killed her after their romance ended. But the university so far will not disclose what actions were taken after Katy Benoit, 22, complained earlier this year about Ernesto A. Bustamante, 31, who police say committed suicide in a Moscow hotel room after killing her outside her home late Monday. BOISE, IDAHO Benoit was shot multiple times with a .45-caliber handgun. Her family called on the university for disclosure in statement Wednesday. NASSAU, BAHAMAS A large and powerful Hurricane Irene roared across the Bahamas archipelago on Wednesday, pummeling the country's smaller, less-populated islands while posing less of a threat to the capital, a major tourist destination with 200,000 residents. There were no immediate reports of major injuries or deaths but property damage appeared likely to be extensive on Acklins and Crooked islands, in the southern part of the chain, said Capt. Stephen Russell, director of the country's National Emergency Management Agency. Irene's core was forecast to continue moving over the northwestern Bahamas on Thursday before heading north toward the U.S. coast, with its current path possibly bringing it to North Carolina's Outer Banks by Saturday afternoon. A hurricane watch was issued early Thursday for much of the North Carolina coast. A hurricane watch means hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours. Also, a tropical storm watch was issued for much of South Carolina's coast. TRIPOLI, LIBYA A rebel onslaught Thursday on a neighborhood where snipers loyal to Moammar Gadhafi had held up in residential buildings left bullet-riddled bodies in the streets, houses in flames and sewers running red with blood. Gadhafi, on the run with his regime in tatters, still tried to rally his followers to kill the rebels. The battle for the Abu Salim neighborhood, which rebels appeared to have won by sundown, was part of their struggle to take complete control of Tripoli, four days after they swept into the capital and sparked the collapse of Gadhafi's regime. Even though they have captured the leader's compound and seized most of the city, the rebels know they cannot declare a full victory in the 6-month-old civil war as long as Gadhafi has not been captured or killed. There was no sign of the leader or his sons, despite rumors that swirled around the battlefield that they may be hiding inside some of the besieged buildings. PESHAWAR. PAKISTAN A bomb planted in a child's tricycle exploded outside a shop in northwestern Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least 11 people and damaging several stores and hotels, police said. The attack occurred in the main bazaar in the town of Risalpur in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said Mohammad Hussain, police chief for surrounding Nowshera district. Shoppers were buying goods for an upcoming Muslim holiday when the bomb went off. At least 23 people were wounded, Hussain said. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Pakistani Taliban has carried out many bombings throughout the northwest. CAMPUS Hawk Week filled with tradition, fun TIFFANY SCHROEDER tschroeder@kansan.com ROCK CHALK BLOCK PARTY The Rock Chalk Block Party brought thousands of students to the Kansas Union for food, fun, and a little learning. Three days before classes started, the area outside the union was taken over by an inflatable obstacle course, rock wall, bungee jumps, live music and bumper cars. Inside, students munched on snow cones, free samples from The Market, and made their own Pixy Stix. 大阪市立大学 大阪市立大学 As students weaved through the Kansas Union, they also had the chance to do what some students consider to be the most important part of Hawk Week; getting to know new people and becoming involved by joining clubs and organizations. Emily Poppe, a sophomore from Omaha, Neb., believes that attending the block party is a good way to meet new people and organizations. For some students the block party was just another event during Hawk Week. But for others, like Poppe, attending Hawk Week her freshman year meant much more. "I think the block party is one of the greatest events throughout Hawk Week for new students to be able to learn about different organizations they may want to join and ways to get involved on campus," Poppe said. TRADITIONS NIGHT "For me, Hawk Week was when I came to the conclusion that I'd definitely chosen the right college," Poppe said. New students received a history lesson on Kansas traditions at Memorial Stadium during Traditions Night. During his speech at the event, coach Bill Self referred to the University as "the most tradition rich school around," and students were quick to discover why. Throughout the night, students watched videos and learned about the importance of various Kansas traditions, including the origin of Big Jay, the creation and the hatching of Baby Jay and about the people who created them. Big Jay and Baby Jay later made appearances on the field of Memorial Stadium and joined the KU Spirit Squad and Kansas Cheering Squad in showing how to do the "I'm a Jayhawk" clap. While some videos showed the creation of famous Kansas figures, others were used to help students learn how to do physical traditions such as how to do the KU clap and the proper technique used to make newspaper confetti at basketball games. In addition, students also learned how to wave the wheat, the significance of the walk down the hill, the words to KU's Alma Mater and KU's famous chant:"Rock Chalk — Jay-Hawk — KU". Students wander around the ice Cream Social held at the Adams Alumni Center. ICE CREAM SOCIAL In addition to free ice cream, students won prizes by playing games, ran inflatable obstacle courses and explored boots set up along the side of the courtyard. The boots included representatives from organizations such as the Center for Sustainability, Student Endowment Board and KU Info. The Ice Cream Social at the Adams Alumni Center gave students a way to cool off, play some games and check out some more organizations on campus. Big Jay and the KU Spirit and Cheer Squads were also present and performed a routine near the end of the event. TIFFANY SCHROEDER/KANSAN Big Jay and Baby Jay joined this year's performer Earworm onstage during the concert. While Baby Jay danced, Big Jay briefly tried to be a DJ before joining Baby Jay at the front of the stage. NIGHT ON THE HILL Students were not the only ones partying at this year's Night on the Hill concert. Once off stage the two split up in the crowd of students. Big Jay danced and Baby Jay went crowd surfing. The crowd of students kept up the party until the concert ended, long after Baby Jay and Big Jay left. Once the music stopped, students tried to lure DJ Earworm back onstage with chants of "one more song," but DJ Earworm refused to go back on stage. Edited by Mandy Matney HAWK WEEK 2011 MORE ONLINE!

Pro-Syrian regime shout slogans as they hold portraits of Syrian President Bashar Assad, his father Hafez Assad and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, about 200 people from the Islamic Group Jamaa Islamiya, who are opposed to Assad, had planned the protest, in front of the Syrian embassy, in Beirut on Thursday Aug. 11, 2011. In Lebanon, scuffles erupted Thursday between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, leading to a few minor injuries. Riot police and soldiers intervened to separate between the two groups protesting outside the Syrian Embassy on a busy street in Beirut's Hamra district. Al-Assad was believed to be a young reformist when he took power. But his response to the revolution, now known as the Arab Spring, has increased opposition protests. Bhala explained that the revolution began after years of poor living conditions and low job opportunities for the Arab youths. The protests began in Tunisia when a fruit seller lit himself on fire in protest of police brutality. The revolution grew and spread across North Africa and the Middle East. The first spark in Syria struck in Daraa, Syria. Khattar Torbey, a juridical sciences doctoral candidate from Beirut explained the Daraa event that led to the mass protests throughout Syria. "There was some kids that wrote on the walls of their school, "Let the dictator fall' So, they took them, they pulled out their nails and tortured them and then threw them back on the streets," Torbey said. The fathers asked the chief of security about what happened to their children. The security chief said that if the men acted out again, that the security forces would kill their wives, explained Torben. After protests in Daraa escalated, the al-Assad regime cracked down with acts of repression, rather than the reforms that the Syrian people had hoped for. Sibaiya explained that the Syrian people are living in fear. When she speaks with her relatives via Skype they tell her they're positioning themselves in a way so that if a bullet comes through the window it won't hit them. Even communicating with her family online is dangerous for Sibaai. The International Press Institute notes that the Syrian government has instituted a crackdown on social media sites. "My family and I don't think we would be able to get back into Syria unless the regime falls because of how active we've been on the net," Sibbai said. The Internet is the main tool for revolution leaders across the Middle East when it comes to organizing protests. In Egypt, organizers sent out emails and tweets and started Facebook groups to tell the youth population when and where protests were taking place. The United States issued a travel warning April 25 instructing citizens to depart from Syria immediately. A second warning was issued Aug. 5 reiterating the earlier warning to depart due to the escalating violence against people on the streets. The practice has become standard. In Syria and across the globe Twitter has been used to show support and raise awareness. Opposition supporters started Twitter campaigns using the hashtags #RamadanMassacre and #SyriaBleeds to spread awareness. Six months after the initial killings there is no apparent end to the violence in sight. "Everyday it seems to be getting worse and worse," Sibaai said.

No charges have been filed against him. KU Public Safety officers arrested the student at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, on the 1700 block of Anna Drive, which is in the Stouffer Place apartments, northeast of the intersection of 19th and Iowa Streets. — Ian Cummings Peace Freedom Syria CONTRIBUTED PHOTO CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Suhayla Sibaia, a sophomore from Wichita holds a sign at a protest in Kansas City. Mo. Sibaia was protesting the al-Assad Ba'athist government's actions in Syria. fighting will not end until al-Assad and his government step down from power and are tried for crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court. However, Bhala points out that any actions against al-Assad by foreign military powers has already been ruled out. There are fears that if foreign powers intervene it will be counter-productive to the revolution. Bhala says that the Syrian people may be capable of finding a resolution to the conflict before an intervention would. Since China and Russia, two members of the five-member United Nations Security Council, struck down a resolution to intervene militarily in Syria, the likelihood that a member nation would act one its own is unlikely. Nonetheless, the revolution continues to escalate with dozens of people dying daily. International organizations have been unable to calculate estimated death tolls because of the level of violence and travel warnings and the evacuation of most foreign citizens. "I have talked to people from Syria, asking them if they think that it is going to end soon. They really can't tell. But for sure by next summer, inshAllah, it will be done," Bisaai said. — Edited by Ben Chipman All through the months Violent protests in Syria take place all over the country.

MOVIES NICHOLAS SAMBALUK "The Help" reigns for third week in a row Despite the arrival of three new films at the box office this weekend, "The Help" will be in charge again. The movie about civil rights in 1960s Mississippi has exceeded expectations since debuting just over two weeks ago. On its first weekend in theaters, "The Help" was runner-up to "Rise of the Planet of the Apes,"but in an unlikely feat moved up to No. 1 in its second weekend of release with $20 million in ticket sales. The adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel is expected to sweep in roughly another $15 million this weekend, bringing the movie's domestic total to just under $100 million. McClatchy Tribune Meanwhile, an R-rated comedy, a horror movie and an action thriller are likely to sell a modest number of tickets on their opening weekend — between $8 million and $13 million, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys.

The first thing that usually comes to mind when one thinks of Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs is the iPod, which revolutionized how people listen to music. Back in 2005, it was Jobs who cut a deal with Walt Disney Co.'s ABC to sell ABC shows on iTunes just one day after the episodes had aired on the network. The deal was considered groundbreaking at the time and caused a lot of concern in the television industry, particularly among ABC affiliates, who sent a letter to the network expressing anger at the agreement and at the fact that ABC had not consulted them on it. The fear was that if viewers opted to watch shows via iTunes, ratings for the network and its stations would fall and the backbone of the television industry would collapse. Apple's new offering "is really bad" for affiliates, Forrester Research analyst Josh Bernoff told the Wall Street Journal at the time. "You don't get anything. You just get a smaller audience," he said. (Full disclosure, this reporter co-wrote the Wall Street Journal story on Apple's deal with ABC.) What Jobs and Disney knew was that new platforms were emerging that would become Just as important as the television In the living room and the networks would only be hurting themselves if they ignored them. But Jobs' and Disney's deal also was the beginning of the end of appointment television. While the VCR and later the DVR already started to free viewers from being held hostage to network schedules, iTunes and the platforms that followed took it to the next level. While it is true that the rise of Apple's various devices and the decline of network television ratings is not a coincidence, those devices also have helped create new revenue streams for Hollywood as well. All the evidence you need is a visit to the gym, where many watch old shows on their iPads while working out on the stairmaster. Studios and networks now have new ways to sell reruns of their shows, especially the cult programs that never developed a big enough audience to make a killing in the traditional rerun market. Hollywood still hasn't figured out how to offer its content on all these outlets without cannibilizing its own business. Eventually it will, but not without a few other forward thinkers like Jobs. —McClatchy Tribune Red Lyon Tavern KU KU Psychological Clinic 340 Fraser) 1864-4121 www.psych.ku.edu/psych_clinic/ Counseling Services for Lawrence & KU Paid for by KU THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PRESENTS: WHITE PANDA FEATURING DJ-SAVY THE UNIVERSITY LATE NIGHT 7 ALO SPONSORED BY: Connection at Lawrence THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1,2011 MORE UPCOMING SHOWS BIG GIGANTIC WI THE FLOOZIES TONIGHT!

Freeing Libya, et al., is not our job LIFESTYLE It's common for many Americans to demand that the U.S. intervene in conflicts around the world, and at the same time, deplore the U.S. for doing just that in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. 'The latest flasco people are cheering for is the U.S. involvement in overthrowing Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Everyone deserves to live free of government oppression, and there is no doubt that Gadhafi, like many heads of state, is a monster, a tyrant, a murderer. By Jason Bennett jbennett@kansan.com But should the U.S. be involved? I say no. Often, the United States itself is involved in propping up dictators and crushing democracy around the globe. President Obama, an alleged constitutional scholar, has not gone to Congress to seek approval for the United States intervention in Libya as mandated by the War Powers Act of 1973. Instead, he has bypassed the U.S. Constitution and cites as his authority a United Nations Security Council resolution. In a 2007 interview with the Boston Globe, however, President Obama said, "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." In a statement regarding why he didn't feel he had to abide by the Constitution and the War Powers Act, Obama has made the laughable claim that the United States is not engaged in hostilities in Libya, because its military is too weak to fight back. That's basically the equi lent of a schoolyard bully arguing, "I didn't get into a fight with that nerd. He didn't land a single punch." Despite the tragedies in Libya, there is no way to argue there is an actual or imminent threat to the United States requiring military intervention. Yes, Libya may be in a humanitarian crisis. But so are many other countries in the world: North Korea, Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo — the list goes on and on. The United States has no more authority to enter into these countries and topple governments than it does in Libya. What's more, America cannot afford to be the world's policeman. There are Americans who are hungry, homeless and hurting. It does not make sense to use our limited resources to drop bombs in foreign countries that pose zero risk to the United States, often killing many innocent people. The United States still has no definite exit strategy for the conflict in Afghanistan, the longest running war in American history. The war in Iraq is past its eight year, with no end in sight. These conflicts require hundreds of billions of dollars each year — much of it in money that must be borrowed and financed. We still don't know the outcome of those wars — and we can't know the outcome of what will happen in Libya. This could very well be yet another decade-long quagmire that turns into a breeding ground for terrorists and fanatics. Applauding the people of Libya for ridding themselves of a terrible regime is fantastic. But I cannot applaud the United States for its involvement, for it seems simply yet another example of corporate and military interests powering neocolonialism in an oil-rich African state. Everyone — not just liberals — wants to help with human rights issues, but it's neither practical nor possible, especially considering the current mess we have in our own country.

Walking through campus we are bombarded with different ideologies, politics, and beliefs; and we are forced to go to class, live, and work with people who may be far on the other side of the ideological spectrum than ourselves. By Alexis Knutsen aknutsen@kansan.com But I find this to be the most valuable part of the "college experience" we hear so much about. These four (or five or six for some) years here are a great time to listen to others and question our own beliefs and ideas. Some people make the mistake of swinging too far one way or another once they enter a new situation like college that they don't acknowledge that there are people who have every right to disagree with them. People do not gain their value from their agreement or disagreement with your ideology but from their individuality. able and civil debate to personal attacks and name calling, we do nothing but make ourselves seem more arrogant and close-minded. Even though we think we are right to ourselves, but to others we're not and may never be. When we turn from reason So instead of alienating someone because they don't agree with us, let's try to understand why they don't agree with us. And instead of suffocating them with our beliefs, let's step back and share our beliefs without sounding like a fire and brimstone preacher. Our beliefs may change in the process. I find the most engaging people to talk to are those who I can disagree with with out either one of us turning into a three-headed monster and feeling like ripping each other's throats out. Disagreement makes life colorful as long as it's respectful with a little hint of passion on both sides. While we're here at the University in the big scary world they called academia, we have every opportunity to disagree or agree. So take the opportunity to do so as much as possible. Learn about different religions, lifestyles, and choices. People are fascinating and at the same time confusing and wonderful once you really get to know them. Please, get in heated debates in your philosophy class but don't do it with a tone of arrogance. Question people and make them back up what they have to say. Don't leave here without having put yourself through an ideological ringer. We never signed up to come to college to hear a monotony of similar opinions. —Knutsen is a sophomore in classics from Overland Park. WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER?

Davis recorded her second straight double double with 27 points and 14 rebounds. KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Junior forward Carolyn Davis returns to Kansas women's basketball after leading the team in scoring last season. She had an impressive run in Italy and was just named as a co-captain for the second straight season. Looking toward the upcoming year, she shared her thoughts on early practice and the team's chances this year. University Daily Kansan - So what does it feel like coming back as a big team leader? Carolyn Davis - It feels good. I have had a lot of experience the last couple years, so I was used to it. I knew it was coming, so it is not really anything different. UDK - I saw you are a captain this year. It is you and fellow juniors Angel Goodrich and Monica Engelman. What worked for you guys as captains last year? CD - I feel that we showed our leadership on and off the court by doing the right things and helping our teammates when they needed help, playing at a high level, pushing our teammates to play at a high level and essentially just leading them at practice. UDK - Do you work outside of practice on what you are going to do or does it just flow for you guys? CD - We talk about different things, like if we need to work on something as a team or if we see things at practice that we are struggling on. Monica and Angel will take the guards and I will take the post players. Aishah does a lot too. She does not have the title, but she is a leader for us as our only senior. We get together when we want to have pickup time or team outings to go see a movie or get dinner. We try to stay as close as possible. UDK - For the second year in a row, you are a young team with five freshmen. I would assume you have a little bit of a job wrangling them in these first few weeks. CD - It was funny to have to deal with basically the same summer again: teaching them the ropes and getting them in the gym. It is fun, though, because young players are eager to learn and it is a great group of freshmen that love to get better. UDK - You guys had some turnover with seniors and transfers. How are you filling those positions? CD - We have a great group of returners that will do a good job and we have five freshmen, so essentially two or three of them will be playing big minutes. Right now everyone is fighting for those minutes and, with those practices we had in the summer, that was a good chance for the coaches to see what they could bring to us and they were fresh. They did not really know a lot, but it was good to see that they will be willing to learn and try new things. It is good for us because we need players out there that other teams have not seen. They are raw, so they are going to get out there and do what they can. UDK - You have seen several practices so far. What has impressed you about this class so far? CD - Fiesty. They are scrappy. They want to get out there and play. It is fun because it is not as structured. They just play and want to have fun. We play in transition and that is where we thrive. We brought in five players who can do that, too, so we added on to what we already have. CD - Discipline. A lot of times we did not finish games and that is what hurt us in the beginning, like losing to Texas Tech after having a big lead and even the loss to Michigan in preseason. It was just the little things and not showing up for games, and I think when we come to play, we win games. We need to come into every game ready to play, ready to win and not playing down to our competition, if that is the case. That comes with discipline. we need to go in and not focus on the other team as much. UDK - What do you guys think you need to make that jump to the NCAA Tournament after four years in the WNIT? UDK - You guys have a tough schedule coming up where you face difficult teams in non-conference and play Big 12 South schools twice. What was your reaction when you saw the schedule? CD - As far as the Big 12, I was excited. It is always good to play them twice. When you play them once and you lose, you think: "If we had one more chance we would beat them," and now we have that second chance to redeem ourselves and show that the North can compete with the South. As for non-conference, we need a challenge. We need to be ready for conference play. UDK - The conference has a lot CD - It is me, Aishah and Tania's job to compete with them and push them in practice to get them ready for the teams we play. We need to compete really hard in practice and that will get us ready. of really powerful forwards. How are you preparing the young forwards? UDK - I know you guys just got back from Italy, so what is next on the schedule? forward to for your junior season. CD - We want to get over that barrier and get to the Tournament, not the NIT, and place higher in the conference. We have been placing in the middle and we are only a couple of games off. It is frustrating, but a good frustrating where we want this year to be different. I am sure no one wants to lose anymore. CD - The coaches gave us a week off to rest, but we are going to play pickup a couple of times this week. A couple of the girls went and played at the student recreation center earlier in the week. Next week we will start in the weight room and do some individual workouts. Edited by Sarah McCabe UDK - What are you looking forward to for your junior season? KINGSTON Memorial Stadium's crowd to its feet. Kale Pick — A player who had never played receiver in his life, will be in the starting rotation at receiver all season. FOOTBALL 110 Playing receiver in the final two games of last season, Pick caught three passes for 18 yards. While the numbers aren't big, Pick did raise some eyebrows, enough so that the coaching staff thought it was worth it to make the move full time. The lack of experience could hurt Matthews early in the year, but he should improve accordingly, as the young team comes of age during the season. Wide receiver Chris Omigie is tackled by a Missouri defender after making a catch. Omigie hopes to crack the startline up by the end of the season. At 6-1, 208 pounds, Pick has decent size to go along with a 4.5 forty time. His time at quarterback has helped him make the transition quicker; as he already knows the routes he has to run. While no one has seen Matthews on a consistent basis, his 53-yard touchdown catch in a spring game helped show fans his big-play capabilities once again. Matthews has shown small flashes of being a big-time player for Kansas, but it's yet to be seen if he can do it against the tough competition of the Big 12. He's got decent size at 6-1, 186 pounds and runs a 4.6 forty, making him an all-around threat on the field. Another advantage Pick has at receiver is his superior knowledge of reading a defense and anticipating what they are going to be doing. He can make his read and find a spot in a defenses zone better, or recognize man coverage and respond accordingly. Something that made the transition take a little more time is the blocking aspect of receiving. As a player who has never had to block before, Pick had to work extra-hard at learning blocking, starting from the ground up. He says he's caught up now, and with wide receiver coach David Beaty running the show, Pick wouldn't be playing if he wasn't telling the truth, seeing as you don't play for Beaty unless you block. Matthews is one of the least experienced receivers on the team, but before the start of fall camp, he was slated as one of the starters on this year's team. Chris Omigie — It's time to put the 6-4, 194-pound sophomore's talents on display, as Omigie was a big recruit for Kansas out of high school. Omigie chose Kansas over offers from Iowa, Ole Miss, and Nebraska. A reserve last year, the sophomore out of Arlington, Texas played in eight games, catching one pass — a 41-yard touchdown catch against New Mexico State. Christian Matthews — Another converted quarterback, this time out of high school, Matthews brings big time athleticism to the position. JERRY WANG/KANSAN He's worked his way up the depth chart in practice and has made a natural transition to the new spot. As a freshman last year. Omigie started the final two games of the season and played in all 10 with seven catches for 73 vards. Omigie will be on the field more often this season and will be one of the top targets for Webb this year. He's the tallest of the projected receivers to get frequent playing time and brings big-time athleticism along with the height. Omigie is currently sitting behind Christian Matthews, another unproven yet talented receiver on the depth chart. This should make for an interesting competition between the two as the year goes on. If Omigie can play up to his potential, it wouldn't be shocking to see him crack the starting lineup by the end of the year. D. J. Beshears — Doing a little bit of everything has made Beshears the team's utility man in the past. He'll still be doing a lot in 2011, but he has cut down his responsibilities a bit. Playing as a kick-returner, receiver, and running back last year, spread out Beshears' talents. He started three games at running back and finished third on the team in rushing with 213 yards on 55 carries. At receiver, he caught 10 passes for 69 yards. The coaching staff decided LIBERTY NALI accessibility info (785) 749-1972 644 Mass. 749-1912 ANOTHER EARTH (PG13) FRI: (4:40) 7:10 9:20 SAT-SUN: (2:10) (4:10) 7:10 8:30 THE TRIP OPENSAT AUGUST 27!

He has some bowling ball characteristics to him, as he's 5-9, 185 pounds. He has big time potential to make big gains after he makes the catch, as it will be hard for most players in the secondary to bring Beshees down. He is a wild-card addition the receivers this year, as no one has seen him play receiver full-time. The coaches must see something they like from Beshears catching the ball and they'll try to take advantage of his talents this year. Beshears is a dark horse to potentially be one of the top receivers at Kansas this year.

MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com Last season, the volleyball team started strong, winning their first seven games. While they would finish the season on a 10-14 slide, the importance of starting the season strong has not been lost on the returning players or on coach Ray Bechard. The volleyball team opens the season at 3:30 p.m. today in Athens, Ga., against Florida A&M as part of the Georgia Bulldog Invitational. On Saturday, the Jayhawks will play in two games against Liberty and Georgia. Padding their win total against non-conference schools will be critical if the Jayhawks want to make their first NCAA tournament since 2005. However, Bechard spoke highly of all three opponents after Tuesday's practice, citing preseason polls that picked Florida A&M and Liberty to win their conferences. The Georgia Bulldogs are a different story. They have a new coach this season in Lizzy Stemke, and what they will bring to the table in a loaded SEC remains a bit of an unknown. Bechard said he is thankful for the opportunity to scout Georgia in two games before their matchup on Saturday at 6 p.m. "It's a little difficult with new personnel to get information on how they were last year," Bechard said. "It's a new year, so you go in a little bit blind with the first match." Florida A&M will likely have a chip on their shoulder when they open the season against the Jayhawks this afternoon. Last season, the Lady Rattlers fell short of their 10th consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship after a stunning loss to Delaware State in the conference tournament semifinals. Liberty Flames finished last season 25-9, one win shy of an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The Flames, who will face the Jayhawks second at 9 a.m. Saturday,received three presaemon All-Conference selections in the Big South. Bechard said "It's been a little uneven this week because of the start of class and the schedule change ... I don't think it's a matter of effort. It's a matter of execution and time management." While schools like Liberty and Florida A&M may not appear to be critical for a Big 12 school, starting strong against two potential recipients of automatic bids to the NCAA tournament could boost the team's stature more than a victory against Georgia by the time the season winds down, Bechard said. "So we've go to get off to a fast start," Bechard said. "We've got 12 opportunities before we start league play, and we've got to maximize every one of those." his team was having a hard time with time management early this week in practice. However, he does not think his team is alone in their struggles. "It's a new year, so you go in a little bit blind with the first match." "I don't know that there is a college coach comfortable having to play this week," Bechard said. RAY BECHARD Coach Balancing schoolwork with practice should come naturally as the season draws on, especially for the two freshmen on the team. "I mean, our freshman are learning, but we've been through that before," said junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefre. "We're ready to start the grind again. I think we're focused on the season, so that will transfer into focusing and prioritizing all areas of our Tolefree said she expects the team's two freshmen, outside hitters Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton, to contribute early on and help the underclassmen-heavy team in their postseason push. studies, too." "They're really ready to work hard and they're really ready to learn." Tolefree said. "There's not like an awkward 'Where's my place?' moment. They know they belong with us and they are expected to and need to contribute just like everyone else. They fit in really well and they're ready to work hard and contribute too." Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said she liked what she's seen from the freshmen and also thinks they will be key if the team wants to match or even surpass their hot start from last season. "I think both of them already have great, developed skills and both of them are super athletic," Jarmoc said. "I think that they're going to definitely come in right away and have an impact on the team."

Edited by Jason Bennett INTERNATIONAL Japan will defend its title in Little League World Series ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Seconds after the ball left his bat in the third inning, Yoshiki Suzuki raised his right arm in celebration and admired his opposite-field blast just over the left-field wall. Then he did it again in the fifth. Suzuki got his home-run trot down pat Thursday at the Little League World Series. His two homers led Japan to a 9-6 win Thursdays over Macacay, Venezuela, to advance to Saturday's international final against Mexico. The mashers from Hamamatsu City are just two more wins away from defending the World Series crown won last year by Japan, though the latest victory didn't come easy. Venezuela had the tying run at the plate with one out in the sixth after Yonny Hernandez's RBI single. Reliever Gaisha Iguchi struck out the last two hitters to finally allow Japan to celebrate and eliminate Venezuela. Another elimination game was slated for Thursday night between Huntington Beach, Calif., and the local heroes from Clinton County, Pa. The team from the Keystone Little League is based just 30 miles away from South Williamsport — the first Williamsport-area team to qualify for the World Series since 1969. The winner of that game moves on to face Billings, Mont., in the U.S. bracket final Saturday. Ken igeta had an RBI double in the third before Suzuki belted the first of his two homers. Doing his best impression of slugger David Ortiz, the left-handed Suzuki watched in ave at the plate as the ball clear the 225-foot wall. Hiroyasu Sugiura, 12, was so excited that he bolted out of the dugout and raced toward home, nearly beating the happy Suzuki to the plate. "Both times, I was just trying to hit the ball to center," Suzuki said. Not quite,but Japan will gladly take the two shots to left just the same. After Iguchi's game-ending strikeout, Japan's players briefly exchanged handshakes and pats on the back before lining up on the third-base line to exchange handshakes with Venezuela, a Little League tradition. Kazuo Takakura added a three-run homer in the fourth for Japan. It was his first-ever home run for the 12-year-old Takakura, and his teammates toasted him at the plate by raising both his arms in victory as if a prize-fighter following a title-winning bout. "We are from Japan so we don't have much power. Ask the players." Japan manager Akihiro Suzuki, no relation to Yoshiki, joked with a chuckle. "That's why we reacted like that. We were all very happy for him." Venezuela trailed 8-0 before finally solving Japan pitching in the fifth. Elio Narvaez highlighted a five-run inning with a two-run blast to right with two outs to cut the deficit to three runs. "Our bats didn't come today. Our rally was too late," manager Gustavo Narvaez said through interpreter Edwardo Caraballo about his nephew "Japan is a very good team, they fouled off a lot of pitches and wore down our pitchers." SPORTS Women's basketball needs more men The Kansas women's basketball team is looking for a male practice player to make up the next "Dream Team." This is an opportunity for Kansas students to play a role in the preparation of the women's team who has appeared in the WNIT the last four years. The team needs males that play at a high level and can challenge the women in practices and workouts. Players would need to devote three to five afternoons a week to help prepare the women's team for their upcoming season. Most practices would run from 3-6 p.m. Applicants must complete NCAA compliance paperwork, pass a physical exam through the KU athletic department, complete a sickle cell test and provide proof of insurance.

ESPN.com Chiefs address needs in free agency THE MORNING BREW No one expected the Kansas City Chiefs to stun the San Diego Chargers in their first game or only have one loss at home all season. Even the diehard Chiefs fan didn't anticipate them winning their division. This year will be different. After a 10-6 season, the Kansas City Chiefs edged the San Diego Chargers by one win to claim the rights of AFC West champions. A short-lived playoff appearance later, the Chiefs return with young and electric talent. The Chiefs have a tough schedule, including a five-game stretch against teams that made the playoffs, but that shouldn't stop them from taking the AFC West once again. By Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com Free agency is usually boring for the typical Chiefs fan because the organization never signs big names or attempts to spend cash. With plenty of room under the salary cap, general manager Scott Pioli took another route. The Chiefs had the best free agency among the other members in the AFC West What did other teams in the AFC West do in free agency? The Chargers signed ex-49er linebacker Takeo Spikes, but they lost running back Darren Sproles. The Raiders signed tight end Kevin Boss, but lost their biggest red-zone threat in Zach Miller and best defender in Nammi Asomugha. The Broncos didn't lose key players, but they only signed defensive linemen Ty Warren and Derrick Harvey. Then there are the Chiefs. Offensively, the Chiefs signed two big needs. They needed a wide receiver to help Dwayne Bowe and Tony Moeaki. In comes Steve Breaston, a slot receiver who caught 77 passes for 1.006 yards in Todd Haley's offense in 2008. Breaston missed three games last year because of injury, but still managed to snatch 47 passes for 718 yards. The league's best rushing attack with the two-headed monster in Jamail Charles and Thomas Jones return with additional help. Ex-Raven, LeRon McClain steps into the backfield as fullback. The Chiefs haven't had a great fullback since Tony Richardson and McClain can fill that duty. McClain had 10 touchdowns in 2008 and brings toughness to the team. The man can block and created many holes for sensational running back Ray Rice, who had 1,220 rushing yards last year. Defensively, Mike Vrabel retired and left a gap at inside linebacker. The addition of run-stopping linebacker Brandon Siler improves the inside core with Derrick Johnson, but Siler tore his achilles tendon and he is out for the whole year. The answer to solidify the middle was Kelly Gregg. Yes, the Chiefs lose defensive linemen Shaun Smith and Ron Edwards, but that shouldn't matter. Gregg only had 38 tackles, but that's 12 more tackles than Ron Edwards. Gregg has 12 years of experience and that will help guys like Glenn Dorsey and Tyson jackson. The Chiefs return all key players and have never won the AFC West division back-to-back, but there is a first time for everything and expect the Chiefs to take the division.

COMMENTARY UDK SPORTS MAILBAG Gill right to ban tweeting By Matt Galloway mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway And perhaps more importantly, he's silenced a potential outlet for mutiny if this season goes south. Edited by Sarah Champ On Aug. 3, Gill not only told his players to stay off Twitter, but also ordered them to commit social media suicide by deleting their accounts altogether. The rule is the latest in a long series of commandments from the second-year coach aimed at eliminating distractions and promoting team unity. As the cliché goes, there is no "I" in team. But there is an "I" in Twitter. Hell, being egocentric is the site's whole purpose. The Kansas football team will likely have several headaches on the field this season; Gill doesn't need to be dealing with any off the field as well. By forcing his players to delete their Twitter accounts, he has actually protected them from themselves. Turner Gill may not be getting many "likes" in the locker room for his new social media policy, but please allow this columnist to give the football coach a well-deserved reweet. On the surface, I'm sure it seems hypocritical for a sports columnist to give praise to a rule that essentially censors an entire football team. But to imply that muting Twitter is akin to shuttling the media out from player interviews is an unfair comparison. For a very small number of athletes, Twitter is a place to offer their unique, behind-the-scenes insight, and better connect with fans. However, for the majority of athletes, Twitter is nothing more than a place to dump asinine observations and to patrol for booty calls. PROMISING POTENTIAL Unfortunately, many athletes lack tack. By eliminating the Twitter temptation, Gill has protected the more oblivious members of his football team from writing something that could land them in the doghouse, or even worse, without a scholarship. Just look at it like this Bill Self has had a hard time keeping his team from making controversial comments on Twitter and he only oversees 16 players. Imagine how difficult it must be for Gill to keep control of more than 100 athletes. Twitter has proven to be a major problem for several professional athletes, too. Running back Larry Johnson accelerated his departure from the Chiefs by tweeting a homophobic slur at a fan. Mixed-martial artist Tito Ortiz accidentally tweeted a full-frontal nude picture of himself. Amazingly, these gaffes are not fixed by simply claiming your Twitter account was "hacked." So what makes the student athletes on Gill's team immune from those same mistakes? Sports reporters are piranhas, only instead of swarming at the sight of blood, we swarm at any hint of failure. It's instinctual. If Gill were trying to block his players from talking about the on-field product, I would have a problem. As it stands, he just protecting them from groupies and trolls who root for rival schools. FIVE RECEIVERS TO WATCH 77 Junior receiver Kale Pick runs down the field after a reception. Pick hopes to break out this season after being converted from quarterback to a receiver after last season. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Mike Vernon Daymond Patterson is one of the leaders, if not the leader, on this year's Kansas football team, and it wasn't always that way. Patterson came to Kansas as a touchdown reception in which Patterson dipped and dodged his way through the Yellow Jackets' defense. receiver with big time speed and big time play making abilities. After not performing up to the staff's expectations, he moved to cornerback and stayed there his entire sophomore year as well. When Turner Gill took over, he moved Patterson back to his true home at receiver and it paid The 5-9,173 pound receiver with 4.43 speed must continue to lead Kansas in 2011. Patterson's playmaking ability was showcased in Kansas' week two upset over Georgia Tech, when Patterson caught seven passes for 85 yards including a game-clinching 32 yard With a passing game full of question marks at quarterback off. Patterson led the team with 60 receptions for 487 yards and two touchdowns last season. and receiver, Patterson needs to be everything he was for Kansas last year and more.

KU lost 2-1. The Jahayh are now 0-1 for the season. 15 Women's soccer team hopes for traveling weeked wins CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN 4 RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com While the rest of us continue to bake under the balmy August temperatures, the Kansas soccer team is traveling to a place where the temperature never changes, and the weather forecaster has the easiest job in the country. The team is on their first road trip of the season when they travel to San Diego to play the host school and Southern California. Both San Diego and USC are marked as contenders for the women's soccer Top 25 poll this year. Nonetheless, playing against high-caliber opponents will not intimidate the jayhawks; they still feel like they have a chance to content with both teams for all 90 minutes. "I think if we get two wins off this weekend we'll be set for the season," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said. "I think it's just going to set the tone and get everybody on the right page." Berry has been a consistent offensive contributor, leading the Big 12 with three assists so far. Berry was called upon to be a goal scorer last year, but now she is needed up front to feed the forwards. "We kind of see what each other's thinking in a sense," Berry said. "We know where we're going to be at certain times and it's really helpful to be on the same page with them." Kansas opened up its season last weekend, splitting a two-game SEC series with a loss to Tennessee and a victory over Arkansas. So far, coach Mark Francis credits the pure talents of the players as the sole reason for their early promise. Even though the girls scored an impressive total of five goals in two games, one focus of this week's practice was the organization of the offensive end. "Right now it's really just individual ability," Francis said. "We have a lot of personality players and so I think it's going to be a big key. Once we get them all on the same page, we'll be more productive up front." Another focal point of this weeks practice was working on the attacking third of the pitch for the Jayhawks, and improving communication between the midfielders. That's not to say the defense had the week off. Sophomore defender Shannon Renner, a recent transfer from Northern Illinois and an Overland Park native, has made an early impression in the back line. "It's been good. It's been like coming home for me. Growing up so close and being a KU fan all my life so it's been really fun," Renner said. For the players, it's an exciting Kansas plays today at 7 p.m. CDT at Torere Stadium in San Diego and will play USC on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. CDT at the same location. road trip to San Diego,but they know it's more business than pleasure. "Being our first away trip I think we need to continue getting better," senior midfielder Kortney Clifton said. "We've progressed from game to game so far. I have no doubt that we're going to go in there and do what we know how to do and hopefully get the results we want." Edited by Mandy Matney CONFERENCE Texas A&M to explore options Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin sent a letter to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe explaining that Texas A&M is exploring other options for its athletic conference affiliation. The letter is not a letter of resignation from the Big 12 Conference, it only notifies the Big 12 of its intent. The letter stated that if Texas A&M were to leave the Big 12, it would do so in a manner that complies with the bylaws and that it would be supportive of the Conference's efforts to find a replacement. "As I have indicated previously, we are working very deliberately to act in the best long-term interests of both Texas A&M and the state of Texas," Loftin said in a news release. "This truly is a 100-year decision. While we understand the desire of all parties to quickly reach a resolution, these are extremely complex issues that we are addressing methodically." The letter comes after more than a year of speculation of the move following the exodus of Colorado and Nebraska from the Big 12 at the end of the 2010-2011 academic year. The most recent developments ended when the Southeastern Conference officials declined to offer A&M a bid after meeting on Aug. 13 and stating its satisfaction with the current 12-team format.

Ellenbecker and his classmates mark a shift in KU students' career interest. Engineering has gained popularity this year, accounting for 7 percent of all the University's undergraduates in May. That's up from 5 percent last year and one of the larger increases of any major. "I figured it'd be fairly easy to get a job with an engineering degree," Ellenbecker said, "but that wasn't my main reason in going into engineering." Other majors, such as biological and biomedical sciences, have seen their number of graduates drop 2 percent over the past three years. Business, social sciences and visual and performing arts are the most popular undergraduate majors at the University and have been for the last three years. Those three majors have graduated between 8 and 13 percent of the University's undergraduates in the past three years. According to data collected by PayScale.com, petroleum engineering is the best-paying degree. In fact, the engineering field dominates the list of Top 10 college majors that lead to high salaries. While engineering has recently picked up in popularity at the University, students are still primarily choosing degrees not found on PayScale's list of most profitable. Darci Goddard, a senior from Logan, is double majoring in business and film. "I think that having the two degrees together will make me more marketable," Goddard said. Goddard said she began with a major in film because of her interest in that field. She said she later added a business major for practical reasons. "I definitely think the business school, in general, does a very good job at career placement," Goddard said. "They are good at networking while you're in school. They ask you once you're done with a class how you are going to apply it to the job market." Many of the University's top majors can be found on Princeton Review's list of top 10 majors for 2011, including business, psychology, speech and rhetoric studies. According to the Princeton Review, these majors are not necessarily selected based on their hirability but on the skill set they provide. The majors can be applied across the board and provide students with not only a diploma but a competitive mindset. Travis Ice, a junior from Lawrence, said his ideal career — working in the front office for a baseball team — does not require a specific degree. Yet, he said, majoring in sociology will better prepare him for his goals. "Sociology is gaged on a lot of research," Ice said. "And what I want to get into is basically all research. Sociology has given me a good understanding of the methods involved."

Two top U.N. officials offered conflicting views Sunday on the safety of its Nigeria headquarters after a suicide car bombing there, as the world paused to mourn the 23 people killed in the attack claimed by a radical Muslim sect. Friday's attack was the first suicide attack targeting foreigners by Boko Haram, a group which has reported links to African terror groups al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and al-Shabab of Somalia. SUKHUMI.

Election Commission chairman Batal Tabagua said.

The vote was held three months after the death of President Sergei Bagash. ISLAMABAD.

Holding a copy of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, Zulfikar Mirza accused the powerful Muttahida Qaumi Movement of responsibility for kidnapping, extortion and violence that has killed more than 400 people since July. He also accused the party of killing journalist Wali Khan Babar earlier this year. In a statement, the MQM said Mirza himself was a patron of murderers and his remarks were a "heinous bid to spark the fire of hatred, violence and insurgency."

Glassman and her mom evacuated their apartment building Saturday night, much like 370,000 other New York residents ordered to leave their homes as the city prepared for the storm. The building is across the street from the Hudson River, and the doorman handed her the mandatory evacuation order at 5 p.m. Hurricane Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm early Sunday morning, and by 3 p.m. city officials lifted the order from their Manhattan neighborhood, where Glassman is staying before entering a study abroad program. Glassman said it was a heavy storm, but she did not see much severe damage or lose power either at home or in Brooklyn. "It definitely was not nearly as terrible as we thought it might be," she said Sunday night. But the storm did close down the city's subways and cause widespread damage in the city over the weekend. Across the east coast, the storm caused an estimated $7 billion in damages, according to the Associated Press. At least 21 people were killed. In New York, more than 3 million residents lost power. Power outages extended more than 60 miles northwest from the coast. Naomi Elze-Harris, a former University student now attending The Culinary Institute of America in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., lost power at her residence hall at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. She said most students in her area had been preparing for a state of emergency, but some also took it as an excuse to stock on wine and host "hurricane parties" "I went to a couple," she said. "It was fun." Elze-Harris said she wanted to study Sunday night, but didn't know what she would do with the power out. She had taken her knives to be sharpened earlier in the day, but found the shop — like many others in Poughkeepsie — closed because of the storm. Rebecca Ballhaus, a junior at Brown University, was with Glassman in Brooklyn. Earlier in the week, Ballhaus said, she thought everyone was making a fuss over nothing. But citywide hurricane preparations and stern weather reports eventually made her "a little freaked out." She saw friends evacuate their homes and decided to fill her bathtub with water in case utilities failed. Weather reports on Sunday showed that the storm had moved on. She drained the tub and walked Glassman home across the Brooklyn Bridge. Once home, Glassman found the storefronts on her street boarded up, and the only shop still open was Dunkin' Donuts. She treated herself to one with chocolate sprinkles. "It was quite a trip," Glassman said. "I guess you got lucky."

"That's deeply appreciated.This is excellent." Ken Audus, School of Pharmacy dean, credited low construction costs and preparation for the money saved.

Jacques Street Nathaniel @ SUA carnival entertains students and faculty More than 100 Student Union Activities (SUA) members worked the SUA carnival Saturday night in the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center parking lot. Zach McQuiston, a junior from Shawnee and the coordinator of special events for SUA, said the carnival is one of SUAs most popular events. Traditional carnival games and rides, such as a Ferris wheel and Tilt-A-Whirl, provided entertainment to students. Students and faculty with a KU ID received five free tickets for games and rides. Additional tickets could be purchased at the event. The carnival is paid for by the SUA budget and has been a staple in SUA events for the last five years. Whitney Kleimmann, a junior from Overland Park, attended the carnival with her boyfriend because she said she thought it would be a cute date for the two of them. She said she was surprised at the intensity of some rides and how extravagant the carnival turned out to be. She said that some rides were scarier than she would have thought. More than the rides and games though, the novelty of the experience is what Kleinnann appreciated most from her night at the carnival. "It was so nostalgic," Kleiman said. "It felt like a carnival in a movie that you never think you'll go to, but it was the closest thing you'll get to that." — By Claire McInerny SEE THE GALLERY http://udkne.ws/nCtV4Z 18219570634 @ BAND FROM PAGE 1 yourself getting better." Roberts said there have been times when the American Legion has struggled to stay afloat, but Thursday nights have brought in enough money to keep things going. The band performs free-of-charge and a $10 buffet starts the evening. However, the band's opportunity to share a cherished style of music among a generation as well as instruct others in that music floufs all adversity. "The age of these musicians transcends everything," Roberts said. "The common language is the music and listening to one another. So you can be 16 or 94 and get kudos from one another. You learn from one another, and that's an amazing thing."

Hallmark to air movie of the Royal family LOS ANGELES — Movies based on real stories offer a particular challenge for actors — especially when the people they are portraying are well known. For the cast of the new Hallmark Channel movie "William & Catherine: A Royal Romance," you don't get much better known than Britain's royal family. "William & Catherine: A Royal Romance" chronicles the love story of Prince William (Dan Amboyer) and Kate Middleton (Alice St. Clair), which culminates in the most-watched wedding in history. The pressure was on for each actor to find the best way to portray members of the royal family. St. Clair faced an acting baptism of fire. This is her first professional job action and she gets to play one of the most recognized and photographed women in the world. While the media has embraced Kate, there was not a lot of material St. Clair could use to play the role. The actress had to improvise, using her own life growing up in the United Kingdom and Scotland to fill in the pieces. She couldn't even get help from her father, who is part of Queen Elizabeth's security detail. "He's a very discreet man and doesn't really talk about his job because it's obviously top secret. So I was trying to nudge info, but sadly, you SUDOKU | | | 9 | | 5 | | 1 | 7 | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | | | 4 | | 8 | | 5 | | 1 | | | | | 6 | | 3 | 9 | | | | | | | 3 | 2 | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 2 | 6 | | | | | | 5 | 7 | | | | 4 | 8 | | | | | | | | | | 1 | | | | 8 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 9 | 2 | | | | | | | | | 8 | | 3 | | 9 | | | | | | | 1 | 5 | | 7 | | 9 | | | Difficulty Level ★ Conceptis Sudoku know, he's very quiet," she said. By Dave Green At least she had her roots to help frame the role. Dan Amboyer, who plays William, grew up in Detroit. 8/29 "I think the challenge was to find who these people are and really respect them," Amboyer said. "The benefit of doing it after the wedding was that we got to see so much of the programming that was out prior to the wedding. So there's so many documentaries and so many things to watch and interviews to see him. I had an opportunity to really learn a bit about him before taking it on." "I worked on the accent a bit and prepared as best I could as I would for any other part." That preparation didn't include learning to play polo. Amboyer promises he will learn the sport should there be a sequel. Jean Smart found herself in the same predicament as St. Clair when she tried to research Camilla Parker Bowles. She found very little material of Bowles speaking on camera. "You feel a certain responsibility — certainly especially when it's someone still alive — to just try to capture just a quality. Hopefully it's something that's done respectfully. And I liked that she was portrayed sympathetically in the script. I felt that she deserves that." Smart said. Victor Garber, who plays Prince Charles, mixed the material based on public records with the parts that had to be fictionalized to play the role with "enormous responsibility."

Excessive drinking hurts academic success After the five-day first week of classes, the exhausted student probably took to the clubs, bars, frats and apartment parties to blow off steam the college way. Shots, kegs of beer and Ping-Pong balls were part of many students' weekend. For students of age, social drinking provides a fun way to hang out with friends while playing with each other's libido and living the "college experience" But for students under age (and even those of age), the warm, booze-filled weekend is often abused. New students especially need to be careful while celebrating their new-found freedom from parental oversight. Because if they aren't, they could find themselves out of college entirely. A joint study by doctors of community health from University of North Texas and Boston University found that first-year students' desires to limit drinking and avoid drinking while driving declined as the semester went on. At the same time, students tended to drink more alcohol, more often, right after classes start. This is a real problem because about 20 percent of first-time, fulltime freshmen drop out after the first year according to the University of Kansas' Office of Research and Planning. This means about 800 of new students will not continue at the University at the end of spring 2012. The U.S. Department of Education claims that abusive alcohol-related activities negatively contribute to academic success, and can carry a bevy of problems that may take years to fix, if they can be fixed at all. A perfect example of this is the tragedy of Jason Wren. A former freshman who died from alcohol poisoning at his fraternity in 2009, Wren had developed drinking problems while he was living in University housing. He was cited for numerous liquor violations while living in Oliver Hall and was required to move out after just five months. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity took him in, and he was found in his room on March 8 with a blood alcohol content of .362 — more than four times the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle. His story exposed the problems and dangers of binge drinking on campus. It also showed that for freshmen, the worst possible outcome of unrestrained drinking is possible. The University has resources to help students at http://www2.ku.edu/~alcohol/resources/, but it starts with the student. Drinking is a natural part of college life. It's a stress reliever, but only when alcohol is not consumed to the point of drunkenness. Go out, have fun, but know your limits. Moderation ensures you won't become one of the 800 freshmen dropouts or suffer the same fate as Jason Wren. -Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER? WORLD Send your thoughts to vshanker@ kansan.com to let the Editorial Board know. A blurb is not enough Quick, think about the news headlines of the summer. We have a new country; the Republic of South Sudan; the GOP battle for the Republican Presidential nomination has begun in earnest; our military involvement in Libya has intensified. These events continue to capture our attention through the media, even though at times we may attempt to shut them out. Brett Salsbury bsalsbury@kansan.com Today, more than ever, we can specifically choose the news reports we follow daily. Flipping through a newspaper or magazine, we can look over anything we're not interested in and read more about what we are. Television shows and news channels can be easily streamed over the web, and we have complete control over what we want to watch. Tiny blurs on social media tempt us into clicking attached links to read more. In the end, we have the power to spend our time specifically on whatever we wish. This barrage of blurbs is increasingly becoming a source of entertainment. The subjects of these news stories can at times seem to exist as pure sideshows, but we forget very easily that these landmark events affect the lives of others much more than we realize. A five-minute reading about Images of famine in Somalia may be shocking and unpleasant, but it's not like images can ever be forced upon anyone. Just as easily as the image is available, it is just as easy to click out of it and immediately forget about its impact.' the new same-sex marriage law in New York may be pleasant and enlightening, but its ramifications for couples who have lived in the state for years and can now marry the love of their lives are profound. Elders and peers constantly remind us to "take a walk in another person's shoes" when we are quick to make judgmental statements about others with a limited amount of knowledge at our disposal. I couldn't even count the number of people I saw on social media making snap judgments about their approval or disapproval of the debt limit deal (or, with even less sensitivity, the Casey Anthony trial), even though they knew a bare minimum about the in’s and out’s of these events and were possibly even pre-disposed to an opinion because of biased "news" anchors. We are invited to make these judgments, though, because of how the news is normally fed to us without us realizing its impact. By allowing ourselves access to more news, less of our time may be devoted to reading through each event one-by-one. This may lead to an even greater misunderstanding of the issues at large. One way to overcome any sort of these incorrect assumptions is to open up our awareness to the fact that there is no simple way of understanding everything the media is offering us. Through that awareness, as I am discovering today, there was never really a moment when not much was "going on." All that changes is our realization that we can constantly further our understanding of the world and all the complex events that happen on it. After that, the summer seems practically mild in comparison. Brett Salsbury is a senior in English, art history, and global and international studies from Chapman.

Whenever I think of organic or green clothing, for some reason, I think of large burlap sacks with a hole for a person's head and holes for their arms. Yes, that's weird. But I never had the greatest view of these clothes in the past. Just like with any other organic product, using these reduces emissions of toxins into the environment. And that is enough reason, at least for me, to give this clothing a chance. — Mandy Matney and Vikaas Shanker I guess you could call me an environmental and organic health nut, considering I use all organic hygiene products, cringe when people throw away soda cans and try to stick to organic groceries. And I am. But while starting to unpack my room, I realized that I have no organic clothing. I don't even know that much about those types of clothes. Or, at least, I didn't until I started writing this column. Rachel Schwartz rschwartz@kansan.com Although there are a couple of handfels of types of organic fabrics, cotton, hemp, and bamboo are three of the most popular. The conventional alternatives of these organic plants are sprayed with lots of pesticides and insecticides. ENVIRONMENT Check your clothes for eco-friendliness While cotton is advertised as a natural product, conventionally grown cotton is sprayed with more than 25 percent of the world's insecticides. Many of these chemicals used on cotton, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are likely to cause cancer. While, I feel like just about everything this day is shown to cause cancer and, therefore, am typically a bit skeptical, I actually As with all clothing, you have to search for the bargains. Organic t-shirts can cost anywhere from $30 to $300, dresses around $50 and jeans start around $30. I don't think that's bad considering the outlandish prices of clothing now a day. Plus, organic clothing made out of hemp or bamboo is durable, so you won't have to bust your wallet on clothes as often. If you're a little skeptical about that, maybe this will change your mind. Pesticides kill about 200,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization. Since pesticides are used to grow plants such as cotton, making and wearing this clothing only contributes to this deadly occurrence. So, wake up and smell the organic roses! believe it in this case. Five of the top chemicals used on cotton have been proven to cause cancer and all top nine are classified by the EPA in Categories I and II as the most dangerous. The final process of manufacturing cotton products even involves harmful chemicals, including bleaches and formaldehydes. After finding that information, I became convinced that organic clothing was the way to go. But I still had the burlap sack image in my head. When I looked at some organic clothes online, though, I was shocked. They looked exactly the same as everyday, typical clothing! So, we can all be stylish and save the environment too. What a relief!

But the dominant way they won the Georgia Bulldog Invitational in Athens, Ga., over the weekend may have been an even more impressive start. The Jayinawks capped off an unblemished weekend by defeating Georgia, 25-16, 25-19, 25-14. It was the third sweep in two days for the Jayhawks, who improved their record to 3-0. "You look at it beforehand and you have to be pretty happy with a tournament championship." coach Ray Bechard said. "You can identify a lot of things we can work on, but we're happy with a lot of things, too. We controlled the things we wanted to control." Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield led the Jayhawks with 10 kills and was named the invitational's most valuable player. "I knew I wanted to play well and be a leader for my team, with my passing and hitting." Mayfield said. "It was just kind of an added bonus to get that in the end. It just showed how much we were on, because I couldn't do that without my teammates." The Jayhawks also got strong production out of their middle blockers, as sophomore Caroline Jarmoc and junior Tayler Tolefree each finished with eight kills against the Bulldogs. "I think we did exceptionally well," Jarmoc said. "Obviously there is always room for improvement in every area, but I don't think we could have asked for a better start to the season." The only time the Jayhaws were in danger of losing a set came on Friday against Florida A&M in the season opener. But behind a career-best .700 attack percentage from Tolefree, the Jayhaws swept, 25-22, 22-15, 25-20. "I wasn't overly excited with the way we started the tournament in the first match, and the team wasn't either," Bechard said on Saturday. "But today was a different story. I thought we played at a another level, and I was pleased with that." Bechard's team trounced their second opponent of the invitational, Liberty, 25-21, 25-13, 25-9 on Saturday morning. Mayfield finished with 17 kills and a career-best .484 (17-for-31) attack percentage. "I think we made it pretty clear that this team is going to be a threat offensively as well as defensively," Mayfield said. "In the past, we've had a pretty good offensive threat. But this tournament showed we could put up good blocks." Despite the impressive start, Bechard, in his 14th year at the helm for the Jayhawks, still sees room for improvement before the team opens home play at noon on Sept. 2 in the first game of the Jayhawk Invitational. "We've got a number of things offensively, just from a system standpoint, that needs a lot of work." Bechard said. "You can identify a lot of things from the first weekend of play. We've got to be a little more diverse in our offense." - Edited by Josh Kantor 9 9 8 CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS TOP PHOTO: Middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc spikes the ball over the net.

The same could be said about the Wildcats and Jayhawks. Kansas State isn't a special team, but it did go to a bowl game last season and Bill Snyder seems to reload every year. The game is being played in Lawrence, so that's a plus. The way I see the rest of the games: at Oklahoma State? Loss. Home against Oklahoma? Loss. At Texas? Loss. Home against Baylor? Loss. At Texas A&M? Loss. At Arrowhead against Missouri? Loss. The Border Showdown is supposed to be close and exciting, but step back and be honest. Missouri is the more talented team. The Tigers didn't let up on the Jayhawks last year, what makes you think this season will be any different? I wish godspeeds to Kansas. It may be a repeat of last season, but at least expectations are low and fans can't be too upset when Kansas doesn't win. With a few more solid recruiting classes, Kansas should be competitive in the next few seasons. As for you, the fans: be patient. Edited by Josh Kantor Talib avoids suspension despite pending charges FOOTBALL Former Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib will be permitted to play in the 2011 season despite his arrest from an off-season shooting in Texas. Talib currently plays in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik announced the NFL's decisions before the Buccaneers preseason game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. Talib awaits trial for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon scheduled in March. The NFL can choose to revisit his case depending on the trial's outcome. In 2010, Talib led the Buccaneers in interceptions, despite playing in just 11 games. Talib, the 20th overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft, was a 2007 Consensus First-Team All-American, won the 2007 Jack Tatum award as the Nation's best defensive back and was named MVP of the 2008 Orange Bowl for the Jayhawks.

Drummond, No. 2 in the ESPNU 100 ranking for this season, will bolster an already talented lineup that includes Alex Oriakhi, Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier among others. Yes, this news is upsetting for Jayhawk fans. Any news of another contender vastly improving should be. Just don't go thinking that Bill Self is sitting around and watching the clock tick. Below are recent tweets from some of the top prospects that Self and his assistants have targeted, followed with my thoughts. The rankings are from ESPNU.

Max's thoughts: 1 guess Shabazz didn't watch that Lakers-Mavericks series in May. That sweep should unquestionably drop Kobe in the ranks. Aug. 28: "Back to Vegas!!!!" Aug. 28. Back to Vegas!

Education is the key" my sanctuary" Max's thoughts: A tweet like this makes one wonder the following: 1) Did his mother hack his Twitter account? 2) If Archie really wrote this, does he mean it? 3) Will he repeat this if he jumps to the NBA after one season? Aug. 27: "The great ones always stay in the gym. I get mad if I have to miss a day because the gym is Max's thoughts: Ever since Denzel Washington mentioned the word "sanctuary" in "Remember the Titans," it seems like anything is a sanctuary these days. Churches, mosques and synagogues are understandable. But gyms? Pretty soon we'll have baristas muttering the "coffee shop is my sanctuary" over a mug of hazelnut. Pardon me for sounding like a geezer on this one, but is nothing sacred? Aug. 28: "I love the smell of hoop- Aug. 28: "I love the smell of hooing in the air" Max's thoughts: Amen to this. Basketball season is nearing. Are your nostrils whiffing it yet? Aug. 28: "I wanna stay in New York just to hoop" Max's thoughts: This writer has never balled at Rucker, but he played near West Village over the summer. This kid I guarded, Frank, was a classic NYC point guard—beautiful dribbling, superior strength, no jump-shot. Does Archie have a J, or lack thereof that we should keep an eye on? No. 23 T.J. Warren @T_warren32 Forward, 6-foot-7, 205 pounds Brewster Academy, Durham, N.C. Aug. 28: "I hope all my family up in DC and MD are safe from the hurricane!" Max's thoughts: By late Sunday, 233,000 people in the Washington D.C. region were still without power, according to the Washington Examiner. There are no casualties in Washington D.C. to report. We wish T.J.'s family and the rest of the country good luck in these crazy weather times. Aug. 28: "Feels good just waking up! Blessed to see another day! I hope everybody is enjoying there first day back!" Max's thoughts: It would feel that good to wake up for all of us if we also had the touch of Midas. Aug. 24: "I can't wait for COL- LEGE!" Max's thoughts: Books, beer pong, 200 kid lectures, Jimmy Johns, Asher Roth. I can't wait either, and I graduate in May. Isaiah Lewis @isaiablewis12 Shooting Guard, 6-foot-3, 170 pounds Christ the King High School, Middle Village, N.Y. Aug. 28; "Adrian Peterson or chris Johnson??" Max's thoughts: If we're talking pure talent, I'm taking Adrian Peterson. If we're talking fatter head, I'm taking Chris Johnson, the running back (arguably the most disposable position) who thinks he should be the highest paid player in the NFL. Forward Kei Kamara, right, fights for the ball Saturday at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, Sporting KC lost the game 3-2. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Aug. 28: "I'm about to blow up!" Max's thoughts: Alert the medics? We may be解题, because this kid is in the class of 2013. If he thinks his basketball reputation is blowing up on a national scale, "about to" just took on another meaning. Aug. 25: "Took a 7 hr nap, crazy" Max's thoughts: This is a classic mundane tweet that lets you answer the question: "Who is the real Isaiah Lewis?"

ESPN.com Cam Newton is not the next big bust THE MORNING BREW A rookie quarterback's road to NFL superstardom is often long and treacherous. Not everyone can make it. The Oakland Raiders thought they found the man who would turn around their fortunes in 2007 when they selected JaMarcus Russell with the first overall pick in the NFL Draft that year. It was supposed to be the dream scenario for the team's outspoken owner, Al Davis. It turned out to be a $68-million nightmare. After dismal performances on the field and legal troubles off it, Russell only lasted three seasons in the NFL. He is currently out of a job and considered to be one of the biggest burs of all time along with Ryan Leaf and Tim Couch. Andrew Joseph ajoseph@kansan.com The 2011 season marks the beginning of the NFL career of Cam Newton, a rookie quarterback who has drawn comparisons to Russell, the former LSU standout Is Newton inevitably the next bust? Many of the talking heads think so, but I see a rising superstar with athletic ability and plenty of potential. When it comes to Newton, winning and controversy have been constants during his career. In college, Newton transferred from the Florida Gators to Texas' Blinn College amidst accusations of stealing a laptop and academic fraud. After leading Blinn to the 2009 NJCAA Football Championship, Newton landed at Auburn. All he did at Auburn was lead the Tigers to a perfect season and win the Heisman Trophy while facing a bevy of "pay for play" allegations. Riding the momentum from his only season at Auburn all the way to the NFL, Newton was selected first overall in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. Newton's doubts have been quick to point out his mechanical flaws and his inconsistent accuracy. But I am more than sold on his arm strength, athleticism, leadership and competitive drive. Newton hates to lose, and he knows nothing but winning. That mentality and work ethic are what sets him apart from JaMarcus Russell. Russell's attitude and priorities doomed his career before it ever had the chance to take off. Rather than getting into training camp and working to gain the trust of his coaching staff and teammates, Russell held out over a contract dispute that did not end until the first week of the 2007 season. Russell arrived at Raiders' camp out of shape and behind Josh McCown on the depth chart. Newton, on the other hand. looks to be well on his way to officially winning the Carolina starting job over former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Cam Newton is not the new Ja-Marcus Russell.

Sun Volume 124 Issue 7 kansan.com Monday, August 29, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAHY GANSAN S sports COMMENTARY Don't hope for much this year Being predicted last is a blessing in disguise for the Jayhawks. With the expectations down, fans only have to worry if a single victory isn't produced. For the most part, the only place Kansas can go is up in the standings. Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com Was Sports Illustrated's 1-11 prediction less than flattering? Yes. Was it warranted? Probably. Kansas should defeat McNeese State with ease, but the same could be said about North Dakota State last season and we all know how that turned out. McNeese State isn't a guaranteed win, as it finished 6-5 overall last season and 5-2 in the Southland conference. It was routed by Missouri last season, just like Kansas, and had a respectable showing against then No. 9 Louisiana State. If Kansas does lose on Saturday, I won't be shocked. But if Kansas wins, celebrate the victory. It may be the last one you experience until next year. This is another season of growing. It's another season of rebuilding. Turner Gill had the 34th ranked recruiting class this season, but those players will need time to mature and they most likely won't be a factor for a few years. They also could surprise everyone, like running back James Sims did last season. If this队 wants to improve on its 3-9 record from a year ago, it will need to come together as a unit. Especially since the conference lost two teams and now Kansas will play every team in the conference. This is a challenge that has to be accepted, but probably isn't welcomed warmly, since Kansas has to play Texas and Oklahoma every season now. Besides having nine difficult conference games, Northern Illinois and Georgia Tech aren't pushovers. Northern Illinois is better than you think. Yes, it plays in a non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference, but it went 8-0 in the Mid-America Conference and 11-3 overall last season. As for Georgia Tech, Kansas caught it on a bad day in Lawrence. Don't expect a repeat in Atlanta on Sept. 17. Anything can happen, but don't expect it. Going into conference play, Kansas should be 1-2. You might be asking why Kansas was predicted to go 0-9 in the Big 12. It's a twofold answer. First, the other nine teams are better on the field and on paper. There may be a day where Kansas' opponents aren't focused and the Jayhawks take advantage of that. I can see a team thinking Kansas is a cupcake and doesn't prepare as hard as it would for an Oklahoma or Texas. Second, the schedule doesn't do Kansas any favors. The teams I think Kansas could defeat are Kansas State and Iowa State. I use the word "could" loosely because I don't think it will happen. I think Kansas and Iowa SEE LAVIER 18 DECIPHERING RECRUITS' TWEETS PAGE 8 WANT SOME ANSWERS?

The Jayhawks are 3-1 on the season. TOPPLING TOREROS RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Timing is everything in soccer. It can range from the 90 minutes on the scoreboard, to the amount of time wasted by a player faking an injury to tick a few minutes off the clock. For the Kansas women's soccer team, it was the timing of two goals in the last 10 minutes by freshman forward Ingrid Vidal, which boosted the girls over San Diego in a 2-1 victory, capping off a productive weekend at the University of San Diego Tournament. Both Vidal and her freshman midfielder Liana Salazar were recruited to be significant contributors, and, on Sunday, the two Colombian national team members showed why they have built a connection before coming to the United States. After the match, Vidal said that she was very excited to help the team win. Salazar helped Vidal translate her comments to English. San Diego was another difficult, physical opponent who had some talented forwards to boot. The Toreros scored in the 29th minute when Natalie Garcia scored her second goal of the season. Despite missing several scoring chances early in the second half, the Jayhawks continued to stick to their offensive assault. "Our kids just don't quit they just kept going at them and were able to come back in both games and win," coach Mark Francis said. "In terms of character and personality of our team I was really happy with that." Assists from sophomore midfielder Caroline Kastor were crucial to the jayhawks' success. Kastor's two on target assists late in the second half made it simple for Vidal to find the back "We knew that getting a second win on Sunday whenever everybody was a little tired would be a big confidence boost," Kastor said. A lot of attention was put on communication between players near the goalbox this week in practice. Throughout Tuesday "Sometimes we get caught up in doing the little things ... we don't just relax and play." CAROLINE KASTOR Sophomore midfielder and Wednesday, the team worked on well-timed passes and finishing from close range. All of the hard work in practice translated to success in San Diego. more offensive minded," Kastor said. "Sometimes we get caught up in doing the little things like defensive organization that we don't just relax and play" "I think we had a lot more opportunities offensively and we're With the season moving at a fast pace, Kansas hopes to fine-tune their passing skills. "Obviously we had mistakes in the game we need to work on. So I'm thinking we're going to have to sharpen things up and take baby steps because every game is going to get better." Kansas will finish up their three-game road swing with a trip to Springfield, Mo., against Missouri St. on Friday at 7 p.m. Edited by C.J.

The towering big men, who fight in the trenches every Saturday, did something strange - they MANUEL WILLIAMS Hatch died their hair blond. They wanted to do something together, as a group. their hair color changing ventures. The blond hair may be insignificant to the play of the offensive linemen this year, but there is another change Hatch has made that will not be. Losing approximately 35 pounds this offseason has turned the out-of-shape and overweight center back into his peak form from early in his Kansas career. Senior center Jeremiah Hatch led the Jayhawks in Senior offensive lineman Jeff Spikes, has seen Hatch's results firsthand — especially in the weight room. "He benched 405," Spikes said. "When he got here, he was probably repping 135 and squatting 135." Hatch has told Spikes that no one ever worked out at his high school. He said it would be a full moon if everybody showed up to practice. Now, Hatch is fully immersed in an environment where practice means everything. out for one another every practice, making sure that no one is slacking, and Hatch has taken his role as a vocal leader to make sure everyone gives it their all during practice. The team has been looking I think we'll be real good this year." "If we take it one step at a time, one day at a time, as far as one play at a time, "When you go 3-9 and you don't want to go workouts, you think about that 3-9." Hatch said. "When you think you're slacking, it comes in your mind. Three-and-nine has a lot to do with what's coming this season." Hatch has been adamant that the Jayhawks will improve in a big way this year, because of their increased efforts over the find where the fire for himself comes from. "This will be my first time doing it," Hatch said. "I decided, hey, let's hold each other accountable for everything we do." JEREMIAH HATCH Senior center While Hatch has been concentrating on making sure his teammates are motivated, he doesn't have to look far back to spring an summer. While Hatch's forecast remains just that for now, coach Turner Gill does think that the weight loss from Hatch will make quite a difference come game day. He said that the biggest difference Hatch will have on Saturday this season is his ability to get to the linebackers in the second level. "Last year, he wasn't able to do that very well," Gill said. "When "I won't leave here accepting nothing else than a bowl game," Hatch said. "We're just taking it one step at a time, the goal is always realistic," Hatch said. "Reality is we will, and we can win a bowl game. If we take it one step at a time, one day at a time, as far as one play at a time, I think we'll be real good this year." you get up to the second level, that's when you have a better opportunity to have bigger plays." Hatch has started 36 games in his career at Kansas and has experienced some of everything during that time. He was a redshirt freshman during the Orange Bowl season. He played as a freshman during Todd Resing's senior year. He saw the Mark Mangino collapse firsthand. And now, he's trying to build something from a partially broken program. With that mentality, Hatch has set a goal for this team, and an ambitious one at that: Not only get to a bowl game, but win a bowl game. - Edited by Mandy Matney GOLF Woodland ties for 13th in the Barclays Saturday Woodland was also the 2005 Kansas Amateur Champion and has been named a candidate to represent the United States in the Walker Cup. He will team with Matt Kuchar to compete in the World Cup in China, according to PGA.com. in the Barclays Saturday Former University of Kansas golfer Gary Woodland tied for 13th at the Barclays on Saturday. Woodland shot 12-under-par during the tournament, seven strokes behind winner Dustin Johnson. His final round score was a 6-under-par 65. On the previous day Woodland shot a 5-under-par 66. The event was shortened from four rounds to three because of Hurricane Irene. The Topeka native transferred to the University in 2003 after playing for one season on the Washburn University basketball team. In his four years on the Jayhawk squad, Woodland had a total of 14 career top ten finishes. Other notable finishes for Woodland this year include a victory at the Transition Championship in March and a 12th place finish at the PGA Championships earlier this month.

Lang oversees 40 employees who fill the campus' landscape and construction duties. With school back in session, campus resources need upkeep to endure prolonged exposure to students. Although largely operating behind the scenes, landscaping, maintenance and housekeeping personnel provide vital services across the main campus for students and faculty. Derek Peterson, a member of the landscaping crew, takes pride in the work he has done in his eight years of service at the University. "It's probably most important for the outer appearance of Lawrence," Peterson said. "People are attracted to KU because of the beautiful land-scaping." While reworking the ground where the Bedazzler, a large sculpture made of dead branches, once stood, Peterson said he enjoyed learning new ways to treat plants and the variety of work. His current project includes grinding the former Bedazzler's stump out, which had died prior to its removal due to verticillium wilt. Peterson's crew's efforts have paid off as KU's main campus is considered one of the most beautiful in the nation. "The best part of the job is instant gratification. You can look over your shoulder and see the work you've accomplished," Peterson said. "Working in the heat can be rough at times, but our bosses are good about giving us frequent water breaks." Approximately $1,250 per student is spent on maintenance and utilities. Where all of that goes might be surprising. In academic buildings alone, every year approximately 102,240 rolls of toilet are supplied, 780,800 garbage bags are filled up and 132,000 light bulbs are changed. Facilities Operations employs 400 personnel and maintains 838 acres of grass, more than 11 miles of streets and 33 miles of sidewalks. Fuel consumed annually, including what is used by KU on Wheels, amounts to more than 250,000 gallons. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 Housekeeping and maintenance also provide important work for student housing. "Our maintenance staff provide a top quality experience for our residents," said Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing. Student Housing employs 60 custodial and 70 maintenance staff who maintain all on-campus residence halls, which consists of 62 structures. While staff generally provide daily upkeep, maintenance and construction of facilities during the school year, summer is the most demanding season. "Summers are busy and challenging for custodial staff," Robertson said. "It's the most difficult and physically taxing." Summertime duties include deep cleaning, making general repairs and stripping and waxing all floors in the residence rooms in addition to cleaning up after camps and conferences held throughout the summer. These efforts pay off by ensuring facilities are clean for residents and tours as well as maintaining the buildings over the long haul. "We are proud of our staff's work," said Robertson. "They are very committed to serving the students well." — Edited by Ben Chipman the student voice since 1904 KU THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Kenneth Terry, a member of the landscaping team of Facilities and Operations, tills the soil Tuesday afternoon where the Bedazzler and its tree were taken down. The tree died due to Verticillium Wilt and thorough tilling of the soil ensures that trees planted in this location in the future will not suffer from the fungus. CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN RELIGION Islamic Center spreads 'the message of tolerance' ALOK GUPTA editor@kansan.com In the Islamic Center of Lawrence a silent revolution of religious tolerance is brewing. The prayer hall has rival sects Shites and Sunnis praying together promoting a high degree of intrareligious faith. Worshippers like Hossein Gerami are among many overcoming the centuries of rivalry through active participation. Shiite and Sunni sects rarely pray together. "I believe that Islam is one religion. As a Shia, I have no problem in mixing or praying with our Sunni brothers," Gerami said. Gerami is from Iran and belongs to the minority Shiite community, sometimes referred to as Shia. Officials and members of the Islaamic Center admit that slowly the prayer hall is becoming a symbol of religious tolerance. Discrimination on the basis of community is ignored in favor of silence. Bandar Almatari, education secretary of the Center, said that there is no mosque in Lawrence and the Islamic Center is the only place for Muslims to worship. "It's a democratic place for worship. We do not inquire about our visitor's religion, community, sect or race. Our Shia brothers, through their participation, are spreading the message of tolerance and bridging the gap between two sects," Almatari said. The visitors at the Islamic Center refrain from discussing the communities, although Sunnis constitute a majority of visitors. Shiites and Sunnis both refrain to speak much about the joint prayers or interaction. "it's a new phenomenon and it will take some time for a transformation. We are working together Differences between the Sunni and Shiite sects stem from Islam's early history and arguments over Muhammed's successors. to make the sound stronger," Gerami said. Countries in the Middle East are divided according to the Shiite and Sunni communities. Only 10 to 13 percent of Mulsims are Shiites according to Pew Forum On Religion and Public Life. "It's a new phenomenon and it will take some time for a transformation. We are working together..." Much of the politics and power struggle in the Middle East countries are based on the divide between Shiites and Sunnis. "Ideally politics should be separate from prayers. It makes no difference whether Shias pray in Sunni mosque or vice versa," said Beverly Mack, a courtesy professor of religious studies. 中華民國70年代初，學生進入高級中学後，在校園內經過多次課程，體力各不相同，學生們在操場上彎腰、挺背、扶腳，十分辛苦，學生們同時也感到疲惫。為了保證學生的健康和學習效果，教育部特設操場，由學生們自行管理，並定期監視學生的操場使用情況。操場的設計注重機能與安全性，為學生提供良好的操場環境。操場的外面設有篱籠、電話亭和教室，學生們可以在操場內享受良好的學習環境。 The common place of prayers and interaction is seen as a major development for Muslim youths.

Dutz 1918 NEWS AROUND THE WORLD CARACAS, VENEZUELA A Venezuelan court on Monday lifted an order that had barred a weekly newspaper from being published, a lawyer for the paper said. A judge had ordered the newspaper to temporarily stop publishing on Aug. 20 when the issue ran a front-page photomontage ridiculing six high-ranking women officials, depicting them as cabaret dancers. Lawyer Pedro Aranguren said the court lifted the order but also ordered the newspaper not to publish text or images that are insulting toward public officials or women. Aranguren said he believes the newspaper has not broken the law and that "every person who serves as a public authority should be subject to the criticism and scrutiny of the media." DAKAR. SENEGAL A group of Americans, including several U.S. Embassy employees, were forced to spend the night on a deserted island off Senegal's coast this weekend after the ocean became too turbulent for their boat to cross, a military spokesman said Monday. They were left to huddle in their bathing suits and shorts covered only with their wet towels as night fell. Kebe said the helicopter arrived to rescue them on Sunday morning. They became stranded on lie de Madeleine on Saturday when the waves became too large for their small fishing vessels to leave the island's cove, said spokesman Col. Abdourahim Kebe. MOSCOW Russian news agencies say the country's space agency is delaying both the return of astronauts from the International Space Station and the launchoff their mission tothe orbiting laboratory. The announcements came after last week's failure of the launch of an unmanned supply ship to the space station. The craft Soyuz rocket sending it into space failed after launch and crashed and exploded in a forested area of Biberia. The news agencies RIA Novosti, ITAR-Tass and Interfax on Monday quoted the head of Roscosmos'smanned spaceoperations, Alexei Krasnov, as saying the return of three astronauts from the ISS was being put off from Sept. 8 to about Sept. 16. TAIPEI, TAIWAN A typhoon that flooded homes, roads and farmland in Taiwan with more than 20 inches of rain left the island Monday and headed to southeastern China. Typhoon Nanmadol stayed over Taiwan for only a few hours and was weaker when it pummed the Philippines, where at least 16 people died and another eight were missing. One death in Taiwan was attributed to the storm — a motorcyclist hit by debris — and disruption to everyday life was extensive. Some 30,000 households in southern and eastern Taiwan lost power, 8,000 people were evacuated and scores of roads and bridges were closed due to the heavy rain. Offices and schools were closed in the southeast.

Jonathan Shorman FINANCE Fatal accident victim identified Police think the Jeep was traveling westbound on North 1800 Road at a high speed and left the road at the entrance to the park. The police department's traffic unit continues to investigate the cause of the accident and has not determined if alcohol was a contributing factor. Police suspect the jeep may have been the subject of a terminated pursuit by Tonganoxie police earlier in the day. Ian Cummings The Lawrence Police Department identified 29 year-old Tyler Yaroch, of Midland, Mich., as the driver killed in a one-car accident in North Lawrence Saturday night, according to a press release Monday. Yaroch was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe that he was ejected from a 2000 Jeep Wrangler sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m., when the accident was reported. There were no passengers in the Jeep at the time of the accident. CLOWNING AROUND Clown-mistaken golfer gets DWI BATAVIA, N.Y. — A Massachusetts man whose colorful golf attire was briefly mistaken for a clown outfit has been charged in New York with driving a golf cart while drunk. The Genesee County sheriff says they got a report that someone dressed as a clown was operating a stolen golf cart in the western New York town of Batavia on Sunday night. Deputies found 37-year-old James Straub, of Stoneham, Mass., driving along a road. Associated Press He wasn't dressed as a clown — just wearing some colorful clothing after an outing at Terry Hills Golf Course. But deputies say he was intoxicated. Straub pleaded not guilty in town court to a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated and a lesser charge of refusing to take a breath test. He didn't have a lawyer at his initial appearance.

He looks, acts and performs in a manner that will come to define what it is to be a rock star for years to come. "You couldn't take a bad picture of limi Hendrix," said Baron Wolman, chief photographer for Rolling Stone throughout the 60s. At Wolman's exhibit, which will be running through October 1 at the Lawrence Arts Center, its apparent that he certainly never did. Wolman made $50, a windfall at the time, for his first published photographs, a series on the Berlin Wall's 1961 construction and its initial effect. The series was published in its entirety, marking the start of a lifelong career in photojournalism. Though surrounded by rock Wolman lectured Saturday at the Lawrence Arts Center about his role at Rolling Stone and his time as the magazine's chief photographer. stars, Baron Wolman remains curiously personable. Unmistakably forged in a different era of music, he bears the watermark of a time when the music industry was far more tangible and direct, devoid of public relations, security and corporate hype. "The moment I picked up a camera, I felt really comfortable about communicating with images because, believe it or not, I don't talk very well. I communicate better with photographs." Wolman said Saturday at the lecture. The lecture accompanied his photo exhibit and tour for his book "Every Picture Tells a Story; The Rolling Stone Years." While the exhibit is immediately captivating in its portrayals of blues and rock legends, Wolman's accounts of his photographs breathe a deeper meaning to the roles that each artist played in the transformation of western culture. Emily Johnson, a freshman from Lawrence at the Boston Art Institute from Lawrence, said she valued Wolman's black and white photography. "I really appreciate that," Johnson said of Wolman's versatility in developing his iconic works, especially those of the Berlin Wall and the stern portrait of Johnny Cash on display at the Arts Center. Johnson currently has photos on display at La Prima Tazza on Massachusetts Street, and has had several art shows around Lawrence. Upon his return to the United States from Germany in the 60s, Wolman moved to San Francisco and chose to live in the Haight-Ashbury district. Free love, free drugs and free music defined "The Haight." One publication, Rolling Stone, would rise from the cultural maelstrom and documented music's role in the world. "Jann said from the one! He said, "There's no question, don't even compare ourselves to them; we are different, and we are going to be here for the long run." Wolman said, who quoted Jann Wenner, the magazine's founder beginning. We are not a hippie publication. We are not giving it away. We're selling. We are going to be professional from day was simultaneously asked for an investment. During a time when Wolman took any work he could, he asserted that he was unable to invest, but would work for free. However, he demanded stock in VIEW ALL PAST COVERS go to archive.rollingstone.com 9157234567890 @ @ and long-time editor. When Wolman was asked in 1967 to be the chief photographer for the new magazine, he the magazine and the photos' rights. This serendipitous decision would make him rich and famous and give him a front-row seat to American history. "That was the great thing about Rolling Stone. You could do anything, and we did," Wolman said. Wolman spoke of the magazine's humble beginnings, the Linotype manual-font-setting, the awkward encounters with musicians unfamiliar with the magazine, and the dark underbelly of the Haight-Ashbury culture. He spoke of personal encounters with legends, the "gifts" they gave him when they looked at the camera, and the way they shaped each other's lives. He spoke of Woodstock, the delirious drug-infused performances that defined artists' careers, and of dairy cows living in adjacent farms that didn't produce milk for months. The overarching theme of his anecdotes was the humanity of the cultural titans he profiled and the lessons he learned in photography along the way. "I loved these people and that's why I tried to show the best side of them. I tried to take a picture that made them feel good about themselves and flattered them," Wolman said. "I realized that I had to listen very carefully as the music came and anticipate the picture and start shooting before I got to the moment that I really wanted to photograph, because if you had seen this photograph in the viewfinder you missed it, you know, it's gone."

Sam Worthington moves from 'Avatar' to thriller 'The Debt' “It's THE biggest,” he says, answering a question about how it feels to be the star of one of the most successful _ no, make that THE most successful film in the annals of moviedom. "You can't really fathom it," he says. "It was a changing point in my life, that's for sure. Not only getting the job and working with Jim, but everything that surrounded it. 'Avatar' turned into an anomaly, basically. ... When you look at the box-office figures and then try to turn those figures into how many people actually saw that film, it's beyond comprehension." ASSOCIATED PRESS MOVIES It's safe to say _ and no slight intended _ that "The Debt," opening in theaters Wednesday, will not be the biggest hit in Hollywood history. A taut thriller about a trio of Israeli Mossad agents on the hunt for a Nazi war criminal, "The Debt" is also a love story and an opportunity for six actors to share three roles. Worthington, Jessica Chastain ("The Tree of Life") and Marton Csokas ("The Tree", with Charlotte Gainsbourg) are the young Israeli agents dispatched to East Berlin in the mid-1960s to capture "the Surgeon of Birkenau," living incognito and working as an obstetrician. Ciaran Hinds plays Worthington's character, David, 30 years later. Helen Mirren is the older version of Chastain. "That's the thing, the triangle is great," says the Australian actor. "You get the extrovert, the introvert _ my character _ and the woman they're competing for. That, to me, is what the movie is about. These three people each have their own demons that they want to lay to rest, and they think this mission will help them achieve some satisfaction. Of course, it doesn't, and then we see the ripple effect that it has 30 years later." Directed by John Madden, "The Debt" toggles back and forth from one story, and time, to the other, revealing the dark secrets these characters share. And before things turn bad back there in 1966 East Germany, the three dedicated young spies played by Worthington, Chastain and Csokas could be doing "Jules and Jim" _ "Jules and Jim" with micro-cameras, codes, and guns. "The Debt," shot in Bucharest, Tel Aviv, and London, was adapted from a 2007 Israeli film. Matthew Vaughn ("X-Men: First Class," "Kick-Ass") wrote the original adaptation and was, at one point, set to direct. Then Madden ("Proof," "Shaakespeare in Love") came along, and came to New Mexico to recruit Worthington personally. "He flew to Albuquerque when I was doing 'Terminator Salvation' there," says the Australian. "I thought, 'Any guy that flies to Albuquerque is a man I'll work with.'" Worthington, 35, says that both Chastain and Gsokas spent considerable time with their counterparts, Mirren and "Our processes are a lot different," he explains. "I just said, 'Look, here's how I see the character, here's where his moment of change is, and here's what I'm aiming for. I don't know what you want to do with it 30 years later, mate, to be honest. That's up to you." Wilkinson, ato establish a continuity, and a bond, in the roles. He and Hinds, however, met for no more than 45 minutes over the course of the shoot. It is Worthington's _ and Hinds' _ character who has the hardest time coming to grips with the events of the original mission. David is plagued with guilt, with regret. "I'm the idealist, and he's the aftermath, the broken man," Worthington says of Hinds' incarnation of the role. "It's turned him into a ghost, a shell, after 30 years of trying to rectify it. And Ciaran's got that haunted quality. ... He nailed it on the head." And Tom Wilkinson has the part played by Cskas. "We're a divorced couple, with problems in the relationship," he says. "We've already done the courting (in "The Debt"), so you've already got the baggage there. The next time I work with Jess _ and I hope there is a next time _ maybe we can do the reconciliation." Worthington and his other "Debt" costar, Chastain, have a second feature together coming this fall: Texas Killing Fields, a serial murder mystery. He plays a small-town cop obsessed with the killings; she's his ex-wife.

EDITORIAL Jayhawks should contribute to community It's a prideful thing to be a jayhawk, but it means just as much to be from Lawrence. One of the greatest benefits of attending such a quality university like Kansas is the fact that we are located in a friendly, cultured town. What truly helps distinguish multifaceted Lawrence from many others is that while we have the amenities of a large metropolis, there remains a strong sense of community. The vibrancy of Lawrence has been nationally recognized, and it's a driving force for students to choose Kansas. However, at times we forget that while our campus is the center of the city, and resides on the hill, we are an integral part of the Lawrence community and we should take the time to invest in it. Recently, we published an article on a national study that found one in five Kansan children live in poverty. Out of all states, Kansas was ranked 19 for children's well-being. Although this is more of a statewide issue, students should help out right here in Lawrence. Cathy Brashler, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County, encourages those interested in volunteering to choose between two of the programs they offer. The first is the school program, which is mentoring at a school for short periods of time, and the second is the community-based program that allows for more quality time outside of the school. Another opportunity to give back to the community is to either donate your money, time or old, personal items to the Lawrence Community Shelter. Visit their website http://www.lawreschelster.org to find out what you can do to help. It is a privilege that we attend school in Lawrence and it is important that we do our part to give back. We must show our appreciation for the community that makes our college experience so enriching.

Now this was not the movie's fault; "Captain America: The First Avenger" was perfectly enjoyable, and Marvel's latest big-screen adaptation, while not an Oscar winner, left me craving a sequel. My ill feeling was due to something I have quickly become a harsh critic of 3-D. This particular screening was one in my native England, prior to my arrival at Kansas; however it seems the issues I have are equally fitting in the U.S. as they were in Great Britain. Naturally, most major movie theatres offer 3-D screenings. In fact, statistics from two of the largest cinema companies, Regal Theatre Company and Hollywood Theatre Company, stated that 1/3 of all their movies shown were in 3-D. Is 3-D a requirement for successful films in the 21st century? I would argue not; as only four years ago we saw the release of "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek the Third", both parts of hugely successful and highly grossing series respectively, yet neither in 3-D. But as similar Hollywood superhero or animated motion pictures are released today, 3-D appears to almost be a requirement. My feeling of discontent lies in the sheer number of 3-D films being produced, and in particular, having watched many of them, how amazingly unnecessary the use of 3-D is within them. Since the release of "Avatar", James Cameron's 2009 epic, which took the technology of 3-D past the inevitable sight of a random object thrown toward the camera, my movie going experience has looked like this: Avatar: Enjoyable, immersive 3-D landscape Saw 3-D: Typical splats and objects — didn't enhance the film Captain America: Did I just pay $11.50 to see a regular movie?! A constant thought in the minds of reluctant moviegoers is the high price- another consequence of the 3-D revolution. Good news for students, however! There is a slight discount at most theatres, even if it is one for a pricey 3D screening. On average, a student ticket for an evening showing of a 3-D film costs around $11.50. That is, including the uncomfortable glasses, which continually feel like wearing ski goggles in a nightclub- both unattractive and hugely darkening. While they have faults, they are worth keeping for your next visit given they added $3 to your ticket price. However next time, your ticket will still have that extra cost, whether you have the glasses or not. So where is that added $3 going? It is this price hike that has left CAMPUS many disillusioned with 3-D cinema, as it appears money is leaving your pocket fast, and landing just as quickly in a Hollywood movie director's. So while I am sure that many film lovers enjoy the in-your-face elements 3-D can offer, it still seems to be a gimmick which has minimal benefits for the viewer, and maximum for film companies. Perhaps the best way to form your own opinion is to think of movies you have seen, and ask yourself the question: Have I seen any movies that were really improved by 3-D? Cooke is a junior in American Studies from London Students shouldn't take college rankings seriously College is a vast and often overwhelming experience. Surely college is too complex to be summed up in a mere newspaper column. In fact, you'd think it would be impossible to sum up the college experience in an entire issue of the University Daily Kansan. Why, then, do students looking to apply for undergraduate or graduate admission put so much stock in the rankings of colleges? By Ethan Lovell elovell@kansan.com Perpetual "top ten" schools (such as Yale, Harvard, and University of Chicago) seem to have some things that other colleges and universities do not. They draw in well-known professors and researchers. They maintain reputations that boost the employment prospects of their graduates. They turn away far more applicants than they accept. According to a study on CSNBC.com, the annual attendance costs of Ivy League schools hover at around $55,000. Wait! What was that last part? Oh, yes. $55,000 per year. All of attributes listed above attributes are factored into college rankings. All but one, that is. Tuition generally is not. In his article "The Order of Things", in The New Yorker last February, Malcolm Gladwell states that U.S. News and World Report leaves tuition out of the equation in its annual "Best Colleges" guide. Robert Morse and his staff of six people define the criteria that determine which colleges are the "best colleges" each year. They have not attended each college they praise. They are simply forced to select variables, such as student retention rate and average class size, that are supposed to reveal where a school should be placed in the rankings. I do not intend to make the claim that the "Best Colleges" guide is bad or wrong. I only intend to state that, like almost every ranking system, it is incomplete. For some students, money is no object. Top ranked universities have their professional and educational advantages, and nothing else needs to be considered. For others, though, value is the most important consideration: "Where can I get the 'best' education?" Perhaps at Harvard or Yale. "Where can I get an excellent education at a much more affordable price?" Now that question is a game changer. Students at the University of Kansas generally realize that our campus draws in outstanding professors. The University is located in an excellent college town with all the essentials that university students need. And, as home to over 600 clubs, it is almost too easy to get involved in professional and recreational organizations. Did we choose Kansas because it is at the top of the "Best Colleges" list? No, because you won't find it there. Students and graduates of Kansas realize that our university provides an education and a "college experience" that many of us believe to be second to none. We watch our basketball team win game after game in the historic Allen Fieldhouse. We meet students of different races, cultures and creeds. We experience great value and great opportunity. But is our school the best of the best? I do not know, and neither do college rankings. I only know that I would put the University of Kansas experience up against the "Best Colleges" any day of the week. Loveil is a sophomore in creative writing from Overland Park.

Although most of the depth chart hasn't changed since the team entered fall camp, there were some changes. Junior receiver D.J. Beshears has been moved to a starter at receiver ahead of sophomore Christian Matthews, who is listed as the backup. Receivers coach David Beaty said last week that Beshears is the strongest receiver he has ever coached, which is impressive considering Beshershe is 5-foot-8, 174 pounds. Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon is second on the depth chart along with another freshman, Darrian Miller. Miller originally had the backup spot to himself until Bourbon had an impressive fall camp, including a big day at Kansas' scrimmage last Saturday. Freshmen Alex Mueller and Tanner Gibas are the only two freshmen slated to start. Mueller will be starting at kicker and Gibas will be getting him the ball at long snapper. 45 NICK SLZEMORE (6-2, 246, S0-RS) 72 TANNER HAKINSON (6-6, 293, JR-2L) 77 JEREMIAH HATCH (6-3, 332, SR-3L) 2 JORDAN WEBB (6-0, 210, S0-1L) 69 TREVOR MARRONGELLI (6-2, 293, JR-2L) 74 JEFF SPIKES (6-6, 325, JR-2L) 20 DJ.

ASSOCIATED PRESS For more information, contact: organlesson@ku.edu The Detroit Tigers found out again Monday night that the Royals don't have a last-place offense. DETROIT — The Kansas City Royals have the record of a lastplace team, and a pitching staff to match. The Royals got 18 hits in their second August win over Max Scherzer, beating the first-place Tigers 9-5 on Monday night. "I don't know what it is about Scherzer," Giavotella said. "We've put good swings on the ball against a lot of pitchers and not gotten anything to show for it, but we've been better against him." Salvador Perez, Alcides Escobar and Alex Gordon all homered while Johnny Giavotella added a bases-loaded double for the Royals, who came in $18 \frac{1}{2}$ games behind Central Division leaders. "We were swinging the bat really well against him, and they weren't bad pitches," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Detroit has a great line-up, so you really want to put up as many runs as you can as quickly as you can." Tigers manager Jim Leyland wasn't surprised. Scherzer (13-8) allowed seven runs, 10 hits and a walk in three-plus innings to drop to 2-2 in August. "People need to realize that isn't the team that fell way out of the race," he said of the Royals. "They've brought up some young, aggressive hitters that are pretty impressive." Luke Hochevar (9-10) wasn't brilliant, but used the offensive support to end a four-start winless streak. He gave up five runs and eight hits in seven innings. "My job is to go out and execute pitches, whether we're leading by 10 "I remembered that he likes to start fastball, fastball, fastball, so I was expecting the last one," Gordon said. "We needed we needed to score runs against them." The Royals then broke the game open with three runs in the third. Melky Cabera and Billy Butler started the inning with singles, and Eric Hosmer walked to load the bases. Scherzer retired the next two batters, but Giavotella hit a line drive into the right-center gap, scoring all three runners. Gordon led on the game with his 19th homer, and Perez's RBI double made it 2-0 in the second. runs or down by 10 runs" he said. "We really swung the bats well." The Tigers made it 5-3 in the bottom of the inning on an RBI groundout by Ramon Santiago and run-scoring singles by Delmon Young and Victor Martinez.

ESPN.com ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW Lockout leaves time to ponder lineups During this time of year, NBA teams, having just finished the Summer League, normally would make roster changes in order improve their lineups for the upcoming season. By Kenton Watkins kwatkins@kansan.com However, amid a lockout with no end in sight, these moves haven't happened. So let's take a look at some moves that the top teams should make if the lockout ends DALLAS MAVERICKS: Let's begin with the defending champion Mavericks. They need only to re-sign players to be title favorites. Clearly center Tyson Chandler is priority number one. After they re-sign him the Mavs could focus on re-signing at least two players from the group of forward Caron Butler and guards J.J. Barea and DeShawn Stevenson. If the Mavs get Chandler and at least two, if not all three, of the others the team will be set for another deep run. MIAMI HEAT: The Eastern Champions have a good starting lineup, but their role players struggled with injuries, inconsistency and, for some of them, just a lack of skill. Guard Mario Chalmers needs to be resigneu in spite of what some people think. He is a great defender who has deep shooting range and can make clutch shots, and the Heat doesn't need him to control the ball with Lebron James and Dwayne Wade on the court. Samuel Dalembert would be a good and realistic free agent to fix the team's weakness at center. They could also use a veteran who can produce off the bench like Shane Battier, Tayshaun Prince or, if they are really desperate, Michael Redd. The Thunder have no real weaknesses other than lack of experience and bench scoring. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER and re-signing center Nazr Mohammed will help their inside depth. Oklahoma City's top priority would be to replace guard James Harden's bench scoring. Luckily there are a lot of free agents who can fill Harden's sixth man role. Players like Battier, Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady would all be a good fit. Marcus Thornton can change games with his scoring and would be a good fit in terms of price and fitting in on the young team. Oklahoma City could also get another big man, such as Kenyon Martin, to throw at Dallas, Los Angeles and Memphis. CHICAGO BULLS: The Bulls have the defending MVP and may only be a good shooting guard away from becoming elite. The Bulls will have plenty of options in this year's free agent group including Nick Young, Jamal Crawford and the others mentioned above. These two teams both need to look for younger players and to improve LA LAKERS/ BOSTON CELTICS: their bench. The Lakers are the stronger or the top to bottom and need rest above anything, but could really use a point guard such as T.J. Ford to improve over Derek Fisher. The Celtics, by contrast, need to improve the bench, starting by re-signing Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Delonte West and Jeff Green. They also need to improve at center and backup shooting guard, meaning they would be competing with Miami and Chicago for guys like Dalembert, Crawford, Battier, and Hill. — Edited by Laura Nightengale MORNING BREW KU THIS WEEK IN SPORTS J Sports 足球 一 Sport Tues.

When the fans will award him with his laurey, the only question that remains is will the fans boo or cheer Josh Selby Edited by Jayson Jenks SPORTS MAILBAG In his last 13 games, Selby's field goal percentage never got above 40 percent compared to his first 13 games when he reached as high as 66 percent. Where his turnovers used to be cute mistakes when he was making it rain from behind the arc, they became costly when he couldn't buy a bucket. 370165829984 Might that be a little too soon, and maybe even a little arrogant of him? Don't get me wrong Josh Selby will forever be a Jayhawk, but a "Legend of the Phog" is more than just a stretch. Am I to understand that there is an alumni game titled "Legends of the Phog" and Josh Selby is not only invited, but expected to play? COMMENTARY Selby not a Phog legend By Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com Was it wrong to expect the No. 1 overall recruit to average more than 7.9 points, 2.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game? Not a chance. Kudos to KU Athletics. There hasn't been this much excitement for a KU bve week since last season. If there was an "infamous of the Phog" he could headline, but let's leave this "Legends" stuff to the guys who earned the right to the title. The Legends of the Phog alumni game on Sept. 24 will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the school year. Just look at the guest list so far: Ted Owens, Larry Brown, Paul Pierce, Mario Chalmers, Darrell Arthur, Cole Aldrich, Nick Collison, Drew Gooden, Marcus and Markieff Morris, Brandon Rush, Xavier Henry, Josh Selby, Julian Wright ... Wait, what? Selby? EYES ON THE PRIZE Selby was touted as a playmaker that could take over games when needed, and he showed everyone in his debut that he could be that guy — 21 points and 5 rebounds coming off the bench. What the fans were waiting to see was the making of a legend, and Selby was unable to provide. Selby had potential to become a true "Legend of the Phog" and instead of staying in Lawrence and developing his game, he chose the glamorous path of being drafted 49th to a league that doesn't know when their next regulated game will be. It's impossible to blame a kid for pursuing his dream, but isn't it fair for KU fans to feel a little bitter about the whole Selby era? He showed everyone he could play. He proved that he could start, but everyone expected that to be a given. TOO FOCUSED TO WORRY CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN It seemed as though Selby was about to pick up where Xavier Henry left off a year earlier, and he kept feeding us what we wanted to see. Through his first 13 games, Selby failed to score in double digits only four times. All seemed to be going according to plan until he missed three games in the middle of the season with a foot injury. KANSAS FOOTBALL First Nation KANSAS FOOTBALL First Natio First National Bank KU Selby failed to score in double digits for the remainder of his Kansas career and started to average as many turnovers as he did buckets. Perhaps his foot wasn't completely healed when he made his return, or maybe his head just wasn't in the right place. But when he returned, the Josh Selby we got wasn't anything like the Selby who started the season. CHRIS BRIDGEN/ANSAIM Head coach Turner Gill discusses the condition of the 2011 football team after the team's first five practices at Media Day in Anderson Family Football Complex. One of Gill's focuses for the team is to find speed and quickness from his players both on offense and defense. The Kansas Jawahres open the season against McNeese State on September 3 at Memorial Stadium. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Big 12's shaky future and conference realignment has reigned supreme as the biggest story of college football's offseason for the second year in a row. The fans of college football have been feverishly discussing what will happen next, while the media has been constantly digging for that answer. Yet two of the Big 12's coaches, including Kansas coach Turner Gill, said during Monday's Big 12 Teleconference that it has not been a distraction to them or their team. Although Texas A&M has continued to pursue leaving the Big 12 for the SEC, the remaining nine Big 12 schools have remained calm, assuring everyone that they will stay with the conference. Athletics directors have met to discuss the conference and administrators have been working diligently to make sure their school will be safe come any impending conference collapse. At Kansas, there have been many questions regarding the doomsday scenario in which the Big 12 would liquidate and the Jayhawks would have to scramble to find a conference. Gill says the hazy future of the conference has not diverted his attention from this year's team. "I don't worry about it," Gill said. "They've hired me to coach this football team here at the University of Kansas. Whatever team we're playing against, you've got to be able to play against that opponent and win that football game against that opponent. "No matter what conference you're in or not in, you've got to Even though the officials have been working together to make sure the Big 12 remains stable, coaches and players at the center of the realignment talk do not see it as a distraction. play the best you can and beat that team. That's what I'm here to do and that's my focus." "We just focus on what's in front of us," Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said. "We've developed a mentality where we live in the present and don't worry about that stuff. I don't think it's just coach-speak. If you talk to our players, they will tell you the same thing." Still, Texas A&M will be playing in the Big 12 this season. "We have a bunch of seniors on this team that will never play in that conference, and they really at this point could care less about it," Sherman said. "They're concerned about winning this season." At Kansas and across the Big 12, it's time to stop worrying about the rumors and reports this season and start getting ready for the football season. SWIMMING AND DIVING Edited by Jayson Jenks New locker room no longer a dive It was a different type of excitement for the Kansas swimming and diving team as each member made her way back to Lawrence for the fall. The usually bleak, sauna-like facility that awaited the team at the Robinson Center had been transformed into a swim-team paradise with some much-needed renovations. BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com After collecting $200,000 in donations via friends of jayhawk swimming and diving, the team was able to build itself a brand new locker room to call home. The new facility includes 32 sit-in wood stalls — each with its own safe — new flooring complete with Jayhawk logo in the center and an epoxy coat, a training area, two swimsuit dryers, a 40-inch flat screen TV, along with a sofa and chairs allowing for the swimmers to lounge before their meets. "The new locker room is incredible," captain Shannon Garlie, a senior from Ft. Collins, Colo., told KU Athletics. "It is definitely going to give us some motivation and excitement going into the season." The buzz about the new locker room helped get senior Abigail Anderson through the summer, who had been waiting to check out the new digs since the project's inception. "It still doesn't feel real," Anderson said. "We had the opportunity all summer to look at the progress, but as a senior I refused to do that. I wanted to wait until the day that it was done to even look at it." According to Anderson the upgrade was well warranted. Problems with the old locker room ranged from frequent mice sightings to no air conditioning. "We put in so much work as a team, and the fact that people would invest so much into swimming, which is a sport that not many people pay attention to, it really means a lot to us," Anderson said. "We are all just ecstatic." Of course with new facilities comes the benefit of showing it off to potential recruits, which has head coach Clark Campbell excited. "It's a big deal to student athletes," Campbell said. "They spend so much time in the locker room. Now they have a place to do their physical therapy, watch TV, and build bonds." Campbell and Anderson both agreed that with the team located in a facility that was built in 1966, any sort of upgrade makes the program look better. While the Kansas swimming and diving team may not be as well accommodated as some of the top 25 programs in the nation, these renovations are more than just a step in the right direction. Edited by Sarah Champ SWIMMING & DIVING KU JEFF JACOBSON/KAI The newly remodeled Kansas Swimming and Diving team locker room sports 32 new wooden stalls, a new Jayhawk logo and a lounge for swimmers to wait in before meets. $200,000 in donations made the remodel possible.

INFO HOOK-UP 'SEXTIVAL' SUCCESS Students find safe sex information, condoms at event SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com Tabitha Marcotte, a junior from Hays, was handed a free condom and material on sexual education Tuesday. She continued toward her afternoon class, examining the pamphlet and shiny package in her hands. "The information does go a lot against the sex ed classes you take in high school," Marcotte said. "It tells you a lot that you don't learn there." "This year we have a lot of information about what's going on Sextival runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Thursday in a pop-up tent on the Stauffer Flint lawn. The event is put on by the Commission on the Status of Women. "The purpose is to educate people about safe sex, positive sexuality and healthy relationships," Pavicic said. Sextival began three years ago as a counterprotest to giant anti-abortion billboards located on campus, said Meredith Pavic, Kansas chapter president of Commission on the Status of Women. Though the billboards are gone, Sextival remains an annual event. Pavicic said the topic of Sextival changes depending on what's going on in the news. Sextial moved to an earlier date this year due to Commission on the Status of Women's desire to give new University students knowledge regarding reproductive services and healthy relationships as soon as they get to campus, Pavicic said. with reproductive rights in the state of Kansas,"Pavicic said. "Wed like to create an environment where students can talk openly about their sexuality and be able to seek the necessary resources," she said. Pacific said the recent defending of Kansas' Planned Parenthood and regulation changes to termination clinics have been hot topics this year. A Planned Parenthood representative is attending Sextival to give out info on Planned Parenthood's recent defunding and gather support for its legal battles. "The clinics in Wichita and Hays were defended of Title X Funding, which is the Family Planning Program," said Planned Parenthood advocacy and organizing intern, Mark Halalastik. "We actually have an injunction right now We are waiting for the next hearing." he said. However, on Monday a judge ordered Planned Parenthood's funding restored, at least temporarily, the Associated Press reported. U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten on Tuesday rejected the state's request that it pay Planned Parenthood monthly and only for services provided while it appeals his Aug. 1 injunction blocking the law. Last week, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Western Missouri said it would stop providing medical services Friday, Sept. 2, at its clinic in Hays unless it was told it would soon receive the money, the Associated Press reported. Without the funding, Planned Parenthood also intended to discontinue its sliding fee scale for low-income patients at its Wichita clinic. Halastik said students should critically analyze information regarding the defounding of Planned Parenthood. He said the regulation changes to termination clinics and the defounding of Planned Parenthood are two separate issues. "A lot of individuals have argued that the Title X funding is going toward termination services, but it is not. It is illegal for that specific service to be paid for by Title X funding," Halastik said.

Some drivers have had trouble getting the gates to recognize the She leaned out her car window pushing her ticket into the garage's new payment station. Again and again the machine readout flashed "error." The metal arm would not budge. Scenes of upset drivers and backed up cars have become more common at the Union Parking Garage. The complaints center on the new electronic gates and payment machines added by KU Parking and Transit in a recent $550,000 remodel of the garage completed Aug. 1. Allison Weis, a freshman from Shawnee gets a free makeover by Mary Kay make-up company Tuesday afternoon in the Student Union. Students could come to get free make up, makeovers and more in an event sponsored by Seventeen and Cosmopolitan magazines. The electronic gates only lift their arms after the drivers have paid for parking or have a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card that now comes with a garage permit purchase. Mary Kay offers women advice and products BEAUTY TIFFANY SCHROEDER tschroeder@kansan.com Caitlin Walz stopped by the Kansas Union Tuesday because she wanted the free makeup being given away. Mary Kay representatives were giving students free makeups on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Walz, a sophomore from Garden City, said she was familiar with Mary Kay's line of beauty products. That put Walz outside Mary Kay's intended audience Tuesday. The tour aimed at informing college-aged women about Mary Kay products, something few women know about, according to Mary Kay representatives. "Based on what we heard from the women we interacted with last year, they actually weren't aware of Mary Kay. Very few of them actually knew about Mary Kay or knew about products," Marti Breedlove, manager of advertising, public relations and integrated marketing said. In addition to free stuff, Mary Kay offers a complimentary personal consultation service. Students traveled around to different stations to learn about Mary Kay products and the colors that would work best with each student's complexion. Independent personal consultants greeted students at each station and assisted them with color selection as well as how to pick out and apply the makeup that complemented each person. In addition to personalized makeup advice, students were also given goody bags with free samples of Mary Kay products, including mascara and moisturizers. However, the point of the tour However, tha was not to just expose students to Mary Kay's latest products with makeovers and free samples.

While many students enjoyed the interaction with consultants, some felt that the number of students who attended the event combined with the consultant's attempt to make sure everyone got a turn before having to go to class was detrimental to this process. "I like getting my makeup done because it's relaxing, but this felt kind of rushed." Walz said. However, students were not the only ones excited about the free Mary Kay makeup. "I've been putting off buying mascara for a while and now I'm glad that I did because I got a free bag of makeup," said Megan Vides, a Mary Kay brand ambassador working the event.

Twenty-six miners had been trapped in galleries relatively near the surface when water poured into a shaft on Aug. 23 from an adjacent, flooded mine. Three had been pulled out alive Saturday and one body was recovered. The survivors, who were hospitalized in stable condition, were able to keep their helmet lamps operating for the 165 hours they were trapped. They sustained themselves with water that dripped from the ceiling and later nutrition packs sent through a 920-foot (280-meter) pipe drilled through the rock, which also provided fresh air. OBITUARY Kansas remembers retired professor BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Graveside service for Hillel Unz, a retired University profes- 801, was held at Bnal Israel cemetery in Eudora on Sunday, Hill Unz, 82, was a professor of electricalengineering for 40 years until his retirement in 1997. He passed away on Saturday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. M. H. B. SMITH Unz His son, Danny Unz, said his father was known at the University as a man with a sense of humor and an informal approach in the classroom. He held at least two patents through his work and he spent time researching Astrophysics after retiring. Hillel Unz was born to Moshe and Rivka Unz on Aug. 15, 1929, in Darmstadt, Germany. His father was originally from the city of Haifa, Israel and the family returned there in 1932. Hillel Unz served in the Israeli Defense Forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and received his bachelor's degree from the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa in 1953. He moved to the United States later that year and received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. He moved to Lawrence and began working at the School of Engineering in 1957. Hillel Unz is survived by daughter Tali Unz, son Danny Unz, and daughter-in-law Ariela Unz and grandchildren Alon, Amir and Eval. Hillel Unz was preceded in death by his daughter Maya. Survivors include his daughter Tali Unz, son Danny Unz, daughter in-law Ariela and grandchildren Alon, Amir and Eyal. "He was a very curious person," Danny Unz said. "I always remember him with a book in his hand." Kansas Athletics will be supporting KU Libraries for a second year in a row through the Touchdown Challenge, the University announced Tuesday. FUNDRAISING Edited by Stefanie Penn Touchdowns could score library funds The Touchdown Challenge serves as a fundraiser for the libraries. Individuals who participate in the challenge pledge to pay a certain amount of money for every touchdown the University scores during the football season. "As every one of our football players know, education is the number one priority," coach Turner Gill said in a news release. "It is up to each student to stay on top of his grades. The critical support the library provides — not only to KU student-athletes, but to the student body as a whole — makes that possible." Those interested in making a pledge can visit lib.ku.edu/touchdown. Jonathan Shorman NATIONAL Irene leaves major flooding as wedding guests rescued BY ASSOCIATED PRESS At least a dozen wedding guests were airlifted by helicopter from a Vermont town of Pittsfield on Tuesday where they had been stranded since Tropical Storm Irene hit two days earlier, turning rivers into roiling flood waters that washed away the only road leading out of town. Marc Leibowitz and his fiancee, Janina Stegmeyer, were in Germany, snowed in last Christmas when they got engaged and picked the Vermont inn for their rustic farm wedding. Now they were stranded again, with about 60 of their wedding guests. "Basically we had an unbelievable wedding. She told me on Saturday night it was the most perfect dream wedding she could have imagined," said Leibowitz, 31, an artist from Brooklyn, N.Y. "And then on Sunday morning ... the weather changed." The couple rushed to finish brunch with some of their bridesmaids, despite the owners' warning that the road was giving way and that they should move up the mountain. Their four-wheel drive rental car was able to make it over the bridge to the Amee Farm. "After we passed, the bridge collapsed," Leibowitz said. To pass the time, the couple and their wedding guests have pitched in around town, shoveling mud from homes, getting supplies to elderly residents living in the hills, and working at the Original General Store, which has become the central gathering place in town. By Tuesday, guests were picking vegetables from the farm to prepare for dinner. Townspeople, who didn't have electricity or phone services, were encouraged to bring perishable food to the general store, where it could be stored in a generator-powered refrigerator. "A couple of people have been freaked out and others have been really scared," Leibowitz said. "But we're trying to keep people calm." It's NOT too late... We still have great places left!

When payments are ready, the machines occasionally will not take them, as in Young's case. These events cause lines to form as drivers attempt to exit. "We didn't have a great start," said Donna Hultine, director of KU parking and transit, while discussing the new system. "People are expecting to get right in and there's sort of a learning curve To operate the new gates, it is necessary to approach slowly and align your car with the ticket reader so that the weight of the car may be sensored. PARKING TIPS 1. If you have an RFID card, approach the gate slowly. Make sure your card sits over the "loops" marked on the ground in front of the gate. A green half crescent will light up and the arm will lift once the machine recognizes your card. 2. If the machine does not recognize your RFID card, try turning it around or moving it closer to the windshield or machine. KU parking and transit offers sleeves which will hold the card on the windshield if problems persist. 3. If you are paying using a ticket be sure to have your payment and ticket ready for the machine before you get there to help other drivers to avoid delays. Unlessitasw CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN — SOURCE: KU PARKING AND TRANSIT with this system." User error has also added to the new system's problems. About a week and a half ago, a student, either confused or upset by the system, tried to jam a credit card into the wrong slot of one of the payment machines attached to a gate on the Jayhawk Blvd. entrance, Hultine said. The action broke some of the machinery within the payment station, disabling a gate for a week and costing $5,000 in repairs. Parking and Transit has been working to fix many of the new system's issues. One short-term solution includes the addition of more informational signs about the new system to decrease user error, Hultine said. Another solution goes by the name of Tanya Rezayazdi. Most of the time she can be found on a chair in the middle of the Mississippi street entrance. For 40 hours a week, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., she helps drivers who are unable to get their RFID cards to work, or hands tickets to those who can't reach them from the machine. "Basically anyone new coming in, I tell them about the system," she said. Rezayazdi has seen it all from someone actually running into a gate, to the garage system accidentally letting in more cars than it had parking spaces for last Friday. "I just gave them the office number," Rezayazdi said of the irate drivers. Rezayazdi is employed on a temporary basis. Neither Rezayazdi nor Hultine knows when Rezayazdi's services will no longer be necessary. Besides Rezayazdi, parking and transit also has an intercom system installed in the payment machines allowing students to directly contact the department. Young used this system and after a few minutes was able to get the parking department to remotely lift the gate allowing her to exit. In addition, from 5 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Parking stationed seven employees at entrances and exits of the garage to assist drivers moving in and out of the garage. Hultine said there no back ups or traffic jams. KU Parking and Transit also has more long-term plans to rectify the problems. Hultine said plans are in place to add an additional payment machine, costing $50,000, during the year. Next summer KU Parking and Transit hopes to enable an additional lane on the Mississippi Street exit. Currently at the exit there is one lane in and one lane out. There are two exit lanes and one entrance lane on the Jayhawk Blvd. entrance. Hultine said she thinks eventually people will begin to pick up the system, noting that the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage, with similar electronic gates and payment systems, has had very few problems. Until then the department has been working to pacify upset parkers by sending out multiple emails to permit holders apologizing for inconvenience and coaching them on how to use the system. The department is offering to transfer users' permits to different lots if they wish. "I am really sorry that their experience isn't good so far," Hultine said. "I think that it will just get better. There are surface lots open and I understand that lot 94 is not full, so if they switch out I will understand." Hultine hopes in the future that parking additions and drivers education on the system will alleviate the current situation. Until these things happen garage users will just have to do something they are becoming increasingly familiar with: wait. — Edited by Jonathan Shorman WHY THE CHANGE? Donna Hultine said that the reasons for the remodel and addition of the electronic gates were to decrease department labor, make the garage more user friendly and help students avoid the 9.000 tickets Parking and Transit wrote in the Mississippi Street Parking Garage last year. With the new system, drivers without permits pick up payment tickets upon entering the garage. When they leave they insert the ticket into the payment station and pay by credit card. Since drivers now pay the station upon departure payments are always exact and a car will never run out of parking time. The new electronic gates also insure that all cars parked in the lot will pay for parking in some way or another. The overall construction project included the addition of five new payment stations, the instillation of electronic gates, and the widening of the Jayhawk Blvd. and Mississippi street entrances. The price tag for the project was $550,000 and paid for in total by KU Parking and Transit. EMPLOYMENT - Adam Strunk Jobs offer academic benefits arush@kansan.com BY ALEXA RUSH As if the multitude of hours dedicated to slaving over classes and homework isn't enough, some students decide to take on that ever-daunting challenge of a part-time job. Many courageous Kansas students have already proved that this load is more than possible to handle, while gracefully maintaining some sense of sanity. The University Career Center is dedicated to helping students find a job that best suits their schedules and interests. Not only do they offer information online about part-time campus jobs, but off campus and full-time jobs as well, which can be viewed at www.kucareerhawk.com. With about 4,700 students working on campus daily, they practically make the essential services possible. From answering phones in the offices, to serving food at Mrs.E's, to desk duty at the Ambler Student Recreation Center Kansas offers a variety of opportunities for everyone. "A part-time job can be a great enhancement to a student's life, not only because of the income it provides, but also because work experience helps one to gain new skills which can be transferred to a professional career after college," said Ann Hartley, associate director of student employment. College students have a reputation of being thrifty; probing for great sales, searching for free loot on campus and scrounging around for that extra penny anywhere they can. Kaylee Sextro, a junior from Olathe, has been there, done that, and is now working part-time at the rec center. "Having a job in college is nice because you make money while going to school." Sextro said. "So you hopefully don't have to take out such a large loan. It also gives you money for those groceries and bills." Maintaining a healthy balance between classes and work can sport a challenge for college students. Finding the time to go to classes, finish homework, get enough work hours, spend time with friends, and finding a way to leave room at the end of the day to get enough sleep for the next round can be a trying experience. Becky Allen, a freshman from Topeka, has found herself struggling with this issue and believes that keeping a daily planner, avoiding procrastination and focusing on one thing at a time are all going Museum to open new Jefferson exhibit NATIONAL The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture is planning an exhibit with Thomas Jefferson's Monticello to explore the third president's history with slavery. Museum officials say "Jefferson and Slavery at Monticello: Paradox of Liberty" will tackle the sensitive subject of slavery during the American Revolution. Jefferson called slavery an "abominable crime" but was a lifelong slaveholder. "Just remember to leave enough time to study and do well in school," Hartley said. Edited by Mike Lavieri The exhibit announced Tuesday will open in January at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The black history museum is under development and is slated to open in its own building on the National Mall in 2015. Hartley said that although holding a job while in school is a great idea, more than 20 hours a week of work piggybacked on top of a full-school load may actually do more harm than good. Making sure that there is a defined balance between the two is key for a successful academic and financial year. At Monticello in Virginia, curators are beginning a long-term restoration o. Mulberry Row, which included 21 dwellings for enslaved and free workers at the plantation. An exhibit on Mulberry Row opens in February. "Since I work in catering, the schedule changes weekly," Allen said. "I'm going to work on my homework around it. I've noticed that I have to check myself and stay on top of my schedule. I've also found that to-do lists are always helpful." to help her stay organized and productive. Associated Press 2.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: X equals T NATIONAL Theo Holstein, a California collector and renovator of such machines, said he thinks the Gypsy is wasted in Virginia City and should be placed in a private collection for proper care. Copperfield wants to buy rare 'Gypsy' The Gypsy sat for decades in a restaurant amid the Old West kitsch that fills this former gold rush town, her unblinking gaze greeting the tourists who shuffled in from the creaking wooden sidewalk outside. The 100-year-old fortune teller was an extremely rare find. Instead of dispensing a card like Zoltar, the Gypsy would actually speak your fortune from a hidden record player. When you dropped a nickel in the slot, her eyes would flash, her teeth would chatter and her voice would come floating from a tube extending out of the eight-foot-tall box. One of those collectors, magician David Copperfield, said he thinks she is even rarer than that Word got out when the Montana Heritage Commission began restoring the Gypsy more than five years ago, and collectors realized the machine was one of two or three "verbal" fortune tellers left in the world. "I think it's only one of one," Copperfield said in a recent telephone interview with The Associated Press.

EDITORIAL Guarding against Brownback's radicalism The University of Kansas is a place of learning, creativity and freedom. Unlike the brutal political climate in Washington DC, healthy discussion of diverse viewpoints takes place on the Hill. And for it to stay that way, administrators need to ensure that the ideas and interests of different viewpoints are represented in a fair and equal manner. They also need to be wary of any changes in the Board of Regents' fiscal policy. For the most part, the University has accomplished its duty. But with Kansas now heading on a different road, paved by Governor Sam Brownback, administration must remain eager to uphold its own financial interests and student freedoms. It's no secret that Brownback's politics stretch far right. His history is intertwined with Tea Party representatives. He has pushed faith-based initiatives to support marriage and family in the state's welfare agency, and enacted aggressive anti-abortion bills. He also cut big state programs like the art agency. Political interests aside, Brownback is clearly bringing religious and ultra-conservative fiscal elements into state operations. So, while Brownback has recently taken a greater interest in higher education with his high academic goals for regent institutions, administration must play a key role in making sure his religious-conservative policies don't seep into the University's operations. It must also provide relief to students who are negatively affected by laws and actions enacted by Brownback. This includes measures like one that has reduced students' abilities to get funding through Planned Parenthood, and an initiative to promote marriage and family that excludes gay and lesbian student couples. Lawrence residents already have a shaky history with Brownback when he decided to close the Social and Rehabilitation Services Lawrence center. It took hundreds of protesting residents and funding from the city to keep the center operational. Essentially, a local government ended up paying for a state agency. The slashing of the state's art center, and Brownback's stance that it should be funded by private donations, have led to a loss of $700,000 in endowment grants and trouble for music groups relying on that money. As an institution under the Board of Regents, in which Brownback appoints members, the University is a state operation. This means administration answers to the Board, which answers to Brownback. The University community, like the Lawrence SRS center, can easily be affected by bold changes to state laws. Administration should be wary of changes in the state that threaten the autonomy the University enjoys. This will ensure an equal opportunity atmosphere, and an independent, University focused agenda. LIFESTYLE Vikaas Shanker for the Kansan Editorial Board Really gay advice ... on staying dry I don't know about you guys, but walking up these mountains in this humidity is really cramping my style. By the time I arrive to class, it looks like I've just given birth; there is just a small line of butt sweat running down the back of my shorts and if I had back fat, my sweat stains would look like tiger stripes. I know it's disgusting, and that's why I need to drop this bomb in a public venue, so you too aren't avoiding raising your hand in class like the "unsure" people in the Sure deodorant commercials. James Castle jcastle@kansan.com Staying dry is a choice, and it's my duty, as the gay columnist for the newspaper, to be stereotypical and talk about hygiene and other feminine things, so I've researched several ways to help you avoid looking like a greased up pig throughout your academic day. BABY POWDER I'm not kidding. A little baby powder on your butt will do wonders on your comfort level during lectures. Just make sure no one smacks your butt — 'cause, you know, people are always smacking my butt on campus. You might even throw some on your privates to mitigate any chaffing, or on your feet (yes, I'm talking to you, fratters who don't wear socks with their Sperry's). SWEATBANDS Why aren't more people wearing these? I sweat more than Whitney Houston in a fedora, so I love sweatbands. And you don't have to fix your hair! Winning! MESH SHIRTS I know, I know, there's only, like, a few weeks left until winter, so there isn't much time left for "shirts" that show off your nipples. Get the most out of your summer by wearing mesh shirts until the clouds come out. This is also a great way for all you musical theatre and dance majors from small towns to indirectly come out (kidding, but seriously, these tops will help your body breath). MAKE A FAN Did you get a local band flyer shoved in your face while walking through campus? Fold it up and make a nice fan. You might as well get some use out of all that needless literature being aggressively forced into your hands every other day. PERSONAL MISTER That's mister, like water, not MOVIES "Mr." Pick up a hand-held personal mister next time you're at Wal-Mart or whatives. Yes, you will look like a snooty bi-otch, but at least you won't smell like the guy next to you with septum piercing who hasn't showered in a day ... or five. It's hot as balls. Classes are full and the rooms are crowded, so don't make your neighbors suffer through an hour of your swampbutt funk. Hopefully these tips will be as useful to you as they have been to me. I hope I've reinforced as many gay stereotypes as possible in 500 words. —Castle is a senior from Stilwell in political science and human sexuality Talking upcoming superhero films Let's all pre-judge next year's superhero movies. When we were children, we were all taught to never judge a book by its cover. Alas, we do it anyways because sometimes books have awesome covers and we don't care what the Amazon reviews say about its lack of plot and character development. Now, because I have spent more than 22 years complaining — a doctor once heard me in the womb saying that my fetal development was "okay, but lacked imagination" — I have developed the ability to complain about things before they have even happened, like a really annoying psychic. This past summer, we were given glimpses of three future superhero movies: "The Avengers", "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Man of Steel." I am not one to keep my gifts to myself, so please join me in prejudging them before they are even done filming. I know we're talking comic books here, but I promise you jocks out there that I won't get too nerdy. If I do, feel free to take my lunch money. First up, "The Avengers": If you are a nerd, or have nerdy friends, then you saw this much-anticipated teaser trailer. I don't even care that we barely know anything about it. I am pumped for this movie. Besides the fact that it's totally going to have Thor hitting things really hard — yeah, hitting things! — and Samuel L. Jackson saying awesome things like "Hello" (it sounds awesome when he says it), I'm just excited that it's really happening and isn't just the fever dream of a million nerd minds. Next, "The Dark Knight Rises": Warner Bros. attached a teaser trailer to the front of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2" and we were treated to exciting images of bad-guy Bane doing sit-ups and then Bane climbing and then Bane walking. Really, just riveting stuff. Warner Bros. also released an image of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, to which we collectively said, "Huh?" In the photo, Hathaway is riding Batman's bat-cycle and wearing Catwoman's signature leather jumpsuit, but is noticeably lacking any cat-themed accessories, like ears or claws. That, combined with some bizarre goggles, makes her look less like a diamond thief and more like a hacker/motorcycle bandit from the future (note to self: make movie about hacker/motorcycle bandit from the future). Warner Bros. also released a publicity photo from the new Superman movie, "Man of Steel," starring Kevin Costner as Superman's dad and Russell Crowe as Superman's other dad. The photo shows Superman breaking into a bank vault (or something, the picture is really dark) and presumably getting ready to enforce truth and justice among other things. Little is known about the film, so you can just go crazy with speculation. Does the addition of Kevin Costner mean its crossing over with "Field of Dreams?" Will General Zod discover that Superman's true weakness is hugs? Will I complain to my friends after seeing it? The answers to those questions are: "Hopefully," "No" and "Yeah, prcbably."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear UDK staff, There's a series of dramatic indictments in Jason Bennett's recent piece, "Freeing Libya and the world is not the USA's job", though each one is either imprudent, misleading, or both. The protection of defenseless civilians is a responsibility that can't be shirked with invocations of contested constitutional scripture or backwards-moral reasoning. The decision to intervene in Libya must be viewed in two complimentary ways — as a low-risk, moral imperative, and as a strategically tenable effort to face our international responsibilities alongside our European and Arab allies. First, Bennett complains that the United States has a storied history of disregarding human rights for strategic purposes. The charge is obviously indisputable. So, the more substantive question that readily presents itself is, is American involvement on the behalf of Libyan citizens somehow hypocritical? Is there something morally inconsistent about attempting to rectify a litany of shameful foreign policy directives, by finally making the right choice and backing the oppressed instead of the oppressors? I should think not. As the article meanders along, it steadily devolves into careless esposals of rehased anti-war rhetoric and conspiratorial accusations about American imperialism. One of the most incredibly pervasive anti-war arguments of recent memory is, of course, proudly regurgitated, "If we're going to do Libya, don't we have to do North Korea, Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and so on?" This line of thinking is baffling. It's virtually impossible to intervene wherever there is strife in the world, but how does this foreclose on the possibility of intervening anywhere? The charge proves especially frivolous when it comes to conflicts that have been sanctioned by the United Nations, the Arab League, our NATO allies, and a broad international consensus. From a strategic point of view, it would be a mistake to ignore such a widely issued call to arms. From a moral point of view, it would be the worst kind of capitulation – the failure to protect a long-suffering people from an indiscriminate massacre when it would cost relatively little to do so. Libya will not turn into another Iraq or another Afghanistan. The United States assumed a limited, supporting role with the express intent of avoiding a "decade-long quamgire." Mr. Bennett provides no evidence for his claims about how long the campaign in Libya may last - only a comment about Libya becoming "a breeding ground for terrorists and fanatics"; an ostensible reference to Iraq and Afghanistan. A quick reminder - Iraq was a state sponsor of terrorism before the war in 2003 and Afghanistan's government was controlled by terrorists prior to 2001. Near the end of the article, a bewildering, disingenuous sentence about "corporate and military interests powering neocolonialism in an oil-rich African state" is employed to describe America's involvement in Libya. This is flippant nonsense. It was an international effort to liberate a country, which has suffered for nearly half a century under the boot heels of a vicious megalomaniac. Frankly to confuse the two is disturbingly nonsensical.

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2011 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Classroom lessons prove to be beneficial on the court MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN KANSAS 23 Sophomore guard Angel Goodrich fires a long range shot on Jan. 3, 2011, in a game against UMKC at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jawhaws won the game improving to 13-1 making it the best start in 17 years. KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com In addition to playing hoops on the court, junior guard Angel Goodrich and junior forward Carolyn Davis spent their summer playing in a classroom. Both behavioral science majors, the basketball players would wake up early for morning practice before heading to a four-hour shift at Sunnyside Daycare, in the Dole Human Development Center. Goodrich and Davis taught in classrooms next to each other. When Davis would walk by in search of supplies, Goodrich would hear a little voice excitedly say, "There is your best friend." Goodrich laughs now, but this was a near-daily occurrence during their summer practicum. Davis worked with children ages two and three, while Goodrich worked with the next older bracket, preparing children for kindergarten. "Little kids are just happy all the time and that makes you happy." Davis said. Davis said she enjoyed circle time and playing outside with the kids because they had so much energy and looked to her for fun. "I was the scary monster and I would chase them around," Davis said. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Even though she had challenges along the way like potty training, David said she enjoyed her time in the program. Goodrich came to Kansas not knowing what she wanted to do in the future, but at the suggestion of some of her teammates she took an introductory class for behavioral sciences. Goodrich said she loved the class and decided she would continue in the program. When she was not teaching skills for kindergarten development, Goodrich played with the kids and even brought in a basketball hoop. They took shots and a couple kids talked to her about being a basketball player for the Jayhawks. "It helped me become more open, because I have always been nervous," she said. Now that the class is over and the season creepscloser, Davis and Goodrich have not abandoned their new little friends. "I miss them, so I go back and see them when I do not have class" Davis said. As the season starts, team leaders Davis and Goodrich plan on bringing back some elements of their teaching to the court. mentioned bringing something more specific to her role as a point guard. She said she will focus on being a more vocal leader and being more open with the team. — Edited by Jason Bennett "Patience is big," Davis said. Goodrich also talked about patience in connection with teaching new plays to some of the younger players. She also able situations," Gill said. "Doing some spur-of-the-moment things that they don't anticipate and seeing how they respond." FOOTBALL 8 Jeremiah Hatch said that Gill told them that having a short memory is key to getting through any nervousness. He said if jitters affect the team on the first or second play, they need to forget about it and keep moving on. While the coaches have been trying to make sure their team is ready for anything, they also understand that nerves are simply part of the game. "That's part of the deal," Long said of the nerves. "Get them out there and get them that experience that they need. I always believe that pays off down the road." Hatch also added some advice of his own that he has spread to the freshmen for when the campanile begins to chime. Senior center and captain "We tell those guys we work 365 days a year for 12 games," Hatch said. "You've got to love the feeling for that game that you're in."

This coming a week after fellow freshman ALEXANDRA MAYES Fletcher received the same award. In addition to the newcomer accolades, Vidal was also named to the College Soccer 360's Primetime Performers Honor Roll.

Despite losing at the College Open Regional last season and failing to reach their goal of Nationals, the HorrorZontals have maintained ambitious expectations for the 2011 season. 22 bollé "Our goal is to field the best team our program has ever had." said Joe Young, one of the three senior captains of the team, along with Vinny Ciaramataro and Bruce Tuschoff A trip to National quarterfinals would make them the most successful team in the HorrorZontals' history, which dates back to 1979.

ESPN.com The love/hate kinship with Entourage THE MORNING BREW Dear bros and broettes, If you have been following along for the last eight years, you will know that "Entourage" is coming to a close. With two episodes left, I am sad to see it go. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love how Vince, Drama, E and Turtle are family. I love how it shows that friends and family, mores specifically bros, are more important than anything. I hate how nothing really ever goes wrong with this group. I hate how this group gets pretty much anything they want. Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com Finally, in the season seven finale, Vince loses it. In this season's opener, Turtle burns down the house. Ari loses control of his life. His life is all about work, his family is an after thought, and now that Mrs. Ari wants a divorce, Ari doesn't know how to handle it. Drama is an aging actor that nobody wants to hire. Vinny has projects lined up for him, but the studios don't see Drama playing the part. Now in this season, NBC picks up "Johnny Bananas" and Drama goes on strike. E and Sloan call off the engagement because E won't sign a prenuptial. E isn't over Sloan, but he sleeps with her ex-stepmother. He has so many emotions for her, that it's affecting his professional career and his relationship with business partner Scott Lavin. The show is based loosely around producer Mark Wahlberg and his group of friends. What makes the series entertaining are the guests that have cameos. Athletes from Tom Brady to Alex Rodriguez have guest starred. Jimmy Kimmel, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Eminem and Bob Saget have also appeared on the show. Saget has to be one of my favorites because we think of him as the loving dad from "Full House," but Saget has the mouth of a sailor. I'm not able to watch the show Sunday nights, so I am forced to watch it on HBO Go. This week was different from most, in that, HBO has put up next week's episode for viewing. I'm not going to spoil it, but DAMN. The events that transpired in the short 27 minutes should set up for a grand finale. There are different sub-plots involving all five main characters. It should all be resolved, but I would love to see some sort of curveball. I'm also hoping some things aren't resolved and the rumors of a possible movie come true.

Volume 124 Issue 9 kansan.com Wednesday, August 31, 2011 S sports COMMENTARY Put the past in the past During the 2007 training camp, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton held By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com a mock funeral for the 2006 team he led to the National Football Conference championship game in his first season as head coach, Payton did this in order to help his team forget about the previous year's success and allow his team to focus on the season to come. Although he did not match the success of his first season in his second, he did end up leading the Saints to the Super Bowl just a few years later. The time has come for the Jayhawks to do the same with the North Dakota State loss from last season. Similar to Appalachian State always being associated with Michigan, North Dakota State will forever be a black eye to Kansas fans. But now, the time has come to move on. The North Dakota loss was the lousiest part of last season and it was sad to see that high points were few and far between. However, that loss did carry significance. Gone were the days where the Jayhawks could roll over on cupcake opponents and still emerge victorious. That day proved that every game from then on would be a struggle if Kansas wanted to win. It was as if the Jayhawks had reentered the dark days of the 1980s, where bowl game appearances were separated by an 11-year-stretch. Collectively, Jayhawk fans need to hold a funeral of their own for that North Dakota State game. Push it out of their memories. On Friday night, pour a shot on the ground to the ghosts of memorial stadium. Forget the loss ever happened. McNeese State is a talented football team that should not be taken lightly, but it is not unreasonable to expect the Jayhawks to emerge from Saturday unscathed in the standings. While the Jayhawks should never forget the lessons learned on Sept. 4,2010, it's time to put them out of sight and out of mind as they focus on the new season that sits at the doorstep. - Edited by Stefanie Penn UDK SPORTS MAILBAG But this team's team is different from the team that dropped that awful game, which turned into a dark foreshadowing of the season that followed. The players haven't been dwell- ing on the loss. Now it is time for the fans to do the same thing. WANT YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED?

Now in their second season, the Gill staff what they are working with and they have personally seen many of the players in action, against real opponents. Toben Opurum has had the opportunity to have a full-year as linebacker at the college level. The Jayhawks have an established rusher in James Sims, Kale Pick is invoking comparisons to Kerry Meier and Jordan Webb has game time experience under center. NERVES AND JITTERS HANNAH WISE/KANSAN Freshman wide receiver JaCorey Shepherd catches a ball during afternoon practice on Aug. 30. The team was preparing for the first game of the season against McNeesey State Sept. 3. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com On Saturday, the Kansas football team will run out onto the field with thousands of spectators getting their first glimpse of this year's team. They will be screaming in support of their team and waving their arms back and forth in a wheat-like fashion. When the campanile's bells echo across campus and into Memorial Stadium, it's their cue. While the sea of fans collectively rises as the bell tower begins to chime, there will also be a collection of wide-eyed freshmen and inexperienced players who have never been a part of anything like a college football Saturday There will also be sophomores, juniors, and seniors who will be taking the field expecting to play for the first time in their Kansas career. Sophomore Darius Willis, a transfer from Buffalo, is slated to start at middle linebacker and senior lineman Jeff Spikes has given him a heads-up for what to expect come game day. "I'm getting goosebumps right now, because that feeling is amazing." One of the most amazing feel- "I'm getting g right now,beef feeling is ama JEFF SPIKES Senior lineman making feelings that you'll get besides the win, is when we take the field, and see the fans there, and the stadium, and it's game time," Spikes told Willis. "I'm getting goosebumps right now, because that feeling is amazing." Spikes himself has plenty of extra anticipation for Saturday. He missed all of last season with a leg injury, after playing every game in his freshmen and sophomore years. "I'm excited to get back out there," Spikes said. "There are jitters, just because it's the first game and I haven't played for a while, but that's minimal compared to how excited I am to get back out there and play." 10 While a player like Spikes has experience at controlling and handling that first-game nervousness, coach Turner Gill expects to play 7-10 freshmen on Saturday, who have never gotten Nerves will be prevalent for the freshmen, who have been prepared for game day, but have not yet experienced it. During the fall and spring camps, Gill and the staff worked hard to ensure that those nerves will not be a factor for anyone come kickoff.

Kansas shutout San Diego, 5-0. Johnson now plays as a defender for the Philadelphia Independence. ANDREW HOXEY/KANSAN RYAN MCCARTHY mmccarthy@kansan.com Defenders are a special soccer breed. Their foreheads aren't plastered all over SportsCenter for a week after hammering home an immortal header. They are not center stage on Nike advertisements. For the past two seasons she's been a member of the Women's Professional League's Philadelphia Independence, who played in their second straight league championship game last Saturday. Defenders out work the competition, and that's exactly what former Kansas player Estelle Johnson continues daily. "I mean it's really hard to describe," Johnson said. "It was just amazing having that much support for women's soccer. I think the World Cup has helped change the atmosphere for the WPS. It was just great having that many people come out and see a good match." Although Philadelphia lost in penalty kicks, Johnson hands were full, facing two of the best scorers in the world: Alex Morgan and four-time FIFA World Player of the Year Marta. Johnson defends against several world-class athletes every week, but no one is more difficult than the consensus elite women's player, Marta. Both played for the opposing Western New York Flash. "I hate to say this and be cliché, but Marta, she's unbelievable." Johnson said. "She is as fast as a man. She's crafty as you can get. Every time I play against her she is the only person that always leaves me in awe." In fact, on the Jayhawks last road trip to San Diego, the team sat down together and watched WPS championship in its entirety. Although Johnson is on a frantic schedule with two-a-days during the season, she tries to keep in touch with players that are still on the roster. "I think I felt nervous for her, but it's just incredible seeing her out there and knowing how hard she worked to get there," senior mid-fielder Jordyn Perdue said. Perdue and several of the other upperclassmen for the Jayhawks still talk with Johnson and remember how influential she was in the early "Estelle was one of those people that was just a natural leader" Perdeu said. "She was dominant vocally, physically, soccer wise. She was always someone we looked to determine how we were going to play" part of their careers. Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis agrees. "When we recruited Estelle she was an unbelievable athletz," Francis said. "Fast, quick, tough defensively. The biggest area she needed to improve in was technically and the speed of play and her technically to get a little bit better. Over the four years, with us she improved tremendously." Following graduation from Kansas in 2.09, Johnson was picked in the second round of the 2010 LA Sol Dispersal Draft. Compared to her rookie year Johnson comfort level was substantially higher. "it's definitely a lot more enjoyable for me because you know what to expect and last year like as a rookie coming in you have so many jitters and you're always nervous," Johnson said. Now with the WPS on hold until April, Johnson is exploring her options overseas or spend the off-season with her family. "Just be the best soccer player I can be," Johnson said. "Even if that doesn't mean getting play in a World Cup or playing in the Olympics." Whatever decision Johnson makes she'll work to the highest level, even if she doesn't have the biggest international career. Edited by Jonathan Shorman BIG 12 Texas A&M still exploring options According to the report, Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin informed Big 12 board chairman Brady Deaton that the Aggies would officially withdraw from the Big 12 on Tuesday. According to USA Today, the Big 12 also confirmed that it has yet to receive official word, but that the conference is actively considering its future plans. The reports follow another volatile week for the Big 12 after Loftin sent a letter to Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe explaining that Texas A&M is exploring its options for its athletic conference affiliation and asking the conference about the procedure for withdrawal. Texas A&M denied Monday's New York Times report that it notified the Big 12 of its intention to leave the athletic conference. On Monday, the Aggies received a letter from the Big 12 outlining the procedures for withdrawal." .
