After denying rumors of leaving the Big 12, the Aggies make it official: They're moving on

After weeks of speculation, Texas A&M has officially notified the Big 12 of its intention to withdraw from the conference.
Texas A&M announced in a release on Wednesday morning that the institution will end its 15-year affiliation with the Big 12 and submit an application to join another conference. The Aggies are expected to join the Southeastern Conference, effective June 30, 2012.
The president of Texas &M, R, Bowen Lutin, wrote to Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe, "After much thought and consideration, and pursuant to the action of the Board of Regents authorizing me to take action related to Texas A&M University's athletic conference alignment, I have determined it is in the
best interest of Texas A&M to make application to join another athletic conference."
The announcement comes after conversations between Loftin and SEC commissioner Mike Slive that began on July 21, according to ESPN.com.
"We appreciate the Big 12% willingness to engage in a dialogue to end our relationship through a mutually agreeable settlement," Loffin said. "We, too, desire that this process be as amicable and prompt as possible and result in a
resolution of all outstanding issues, including mutual waivers by Texas A&M and the conference on behalf of all the remaining members."
a
That process includes the negotiation of an exit fee with the Big 12 that could range anywhere from $15 million to $33 million, according to The New York Times and Orangebloods.com. In addition, Texas A&M's departure is dependent on the SEC formally extending an invitation to the

A fatal accident involving a motorcycle and van occurred Wednesday night near the intersection of Iowa Street and University Drive.
Sgt. Matt Sarna, a spokesman with the Lawrence Police Department, said the motorcycle and van collided around 6:13 p.m. The motorcycle was traveling north on Iowa Street and the van was traveling south. Police found the driver of the motorcycle dead when they arrived. Sarna said there were no other injuries.
Police officers blocked off Iowa Street between Bob Billings Parkway and Stratford Street, and directed traffic away from the scene, causing major traffic delays in the area. The section of Iowa Street was shut down for several hours Wednesday evening.
The name of the victim has not been released.
Sarna said fatalities at the intersection are rare.

Riding on broomsticks, preparing for a zombie invasion and obsessing over ugly sweaters and flying kites are all considered a normal day activity for some of the organizations at KU. The Kansas Quidditch Team, Zombie Awareness Council and Ugly Sweater & Kite Flying Society, although unique in their interests, are fully dedicated and passionate about their purposes.
KANSAS QUIDDITCH TEAM:
Starting out as just dormroom conversation for a couple of freshmen in the fall of 2009, the Kansas Quidditch Team was made an official KU Sports Club at the
beginning of 2011.
Stemming from the renowned Harry Potter books, Quidditch at KU is played as similarly as possible to the original game, minus of course, the witches, wizards and sadly, the magic.
"A lot of times people don't give Quidditch a chance because they brush it off as something that's childish and immature because it evolved out of the Harry Potter series, but it's not. It's an extremely fun sport to play and will surprise you," said junior captain Doug Whiston.
Each Quidditch team has seven players. Three chasers try to score in the opposing team's goal with a volleyball, which is called a quaffle. Ten points are awarded to the scoring team. The keeper defends the goal from the other
team's chasers, much like a goalie. The two beaters use dodge balls, referred to as bludgers, to try and "knock out" other members from the game for a temporary amount of time.
The seeker's job is to snatch the snitch, which is a tennis ball wrapped in a yellow sock attached to the waist of the snitch runner, who, according to the International Quidditch Association, is allowed to use physical contact, climb trees or hide in the audience to escape the seekers. The captured snitch is worth 30 points and signals the end of the game, unless it brings the scores to a tie, which then leads to an overtime.
According to Whiston, every year a new handbook is developed by the rules council within the IQA and each year the rules are
becoming more refined.
Although this activity may seem a tad strange to on-lookers, ask any of the KU Quidditch team members and they will assure you, without hesitation, that there is a lot more to the sport than what meets the eye,
"Some things to keep in mind, though, are that Quidditch is a full-contact sport and it, like other sports, it's a little rough. The players take away a little bit of pride with being able to say that you're a Quidditch player. And I'll let you know that it's quite a nice workout too. It certainly beats sitting in your dorm room or apartment with nothing to do." Whiston said.

KU Dining offers unlimited meal plan
KU Dining Services has overhauled its meal plans for the first time in six years. Students have until 5 p.m. on Friday to change to a lesser plan.
Students living in the residence halls can pick from five new plans, two of which include unlimited

dining hall access and range from $3,598 to $3,798 per year. Because of that unlimited access, Mrs. E's and Oliver dining centers have switched to continuous service and no longer close between lunch and dinner.
It's all the result of a two-year process involving a student taskforce, meetings among members of the dining staff and approval by the Student Housing Advisory Board and the Kansas Board of Regents.
Kidwell said that the unlimited plans were designed to alleviate student fears about running out of meals and to also give students the best possible value for their money. To promote the unlimited plans, Dining Services added some incentives to those packages, including more Cusine Cash, more guest passes and several free 14-inch pizzas each semester.
"We wanted to be responsive to both student and parent feedback that we've gotten over the years," said Sheryl Kidwell, an assistant director for KU Dining Services.
Caleb Adegoke, a freshman from Shawnee, has an unlimited meal plan. He said he loves it and he drops by Mrs. E's about three times a day for snacks and meals.
"I think it's a good deal, but it's up to the student how they use it."

SAO PAULO. BRAZIL
SAU FAULD, BRAZIL Funeral workers are on strike in Brazil's largest city, and it's causing delays in burials.
More than 1,000 workers in Sao Paulo halted their activities on Tuesday, delaying the release of bodies for burial and frustrating relatives of the deceased. Brazilians traditionally hold funerals within a day of death.
The workers want a salary increase of nearly 40 percent and better working conditions.
They said in a statement Wednesday the strike will go on until city officials meet their demands.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
Other health workers are also participating in the strike.
Flash flooding across Nigeria's southwest killed at least 102 people in the last week, the country's Red Cross said Wednesday.
Some 1,500 people displaced by the tormental downpour, officials said.
The major flood hit hardest in Oyo state's capital of ibadan. Heavy rains there on Friday made a local dam overflow, sending water crashing through the informal settlements surrounding the city. The water also damaged three bridges in the area, trapping people in their neighborhoods, said Tunde Adebiyi, an official with Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.
VILNIUS, LITHUANIA
Two military jets collided above Lithuania during a NATO exercise Tuesday, but one managed to land and the other crashed in an unpopulated area after its two pilots ejected. No serious injuries were reported.
The French Mirage fighter was only "lightly damaged" and landed safely at the air base, NATO said.
The collision of the Lithuanian and French aircraft occurred near the Zokniai air base in northern Lithuania, home to NATO jets patrolling the skies over the Baltic countries.
The Lithuanian pilots successfully ejected from their L-39 Albatros jet after the collision at 10.30 a.m. local time, according to NATO.
A statement from the Investigative Committee said three perpetrators of the Tuesday evening blasts in Grozny had been identified, but did not specify how many explosions there were. Some Russian news reports said there were two blasts.
MOSCOW, RUSSIA
According to the Wednesday statement, the bombers blew themselves up when police stopped them during a search operation. A further 22 people were wounded, the committee said.
Russia's top investigative body said eight people, including seven policeman, died after suicide bombings in the capital of Chechnya.
The blasts were the bloodiest recent incident of violence in Chechnya.

In order for the Aggies to receive an invite from the SEC, nine of the 12 SEC university presidents would have to vote in favor of adding Texas A&M to the conference. The addition of Texas A&M would give the SEC 13 teams, and it will likely look elsewhere for a 14th team.
"As I have indicated throughout this process, we are seeking to generate greater visibility nationwide for Texas A&M and our championship-caliber student-athletes, as well as secure the necessary and stable financial resources to support our athletic and academic programs." Loftin said. "This is a 100-year decision that we have addressed carefully and methodically. Texas A&M is an extraordinary institution, and we look forward to what the future may hold for Aguies worldwide."
Texas A&M has been a member of the Big 12 since 1996. Last season, the Aggies claimed nine Big 12 championships and four national team titles, according to www.tamu.edu. Since their admittance to the conference 15 years ago, they have claimed 55 conference championships. Texas A&M's departure leaves an already depleted Big 12 with nine teams.
The Big 12 has been a primary
target in the conference realignment shuffle over the past year, losing Colorado to the Pac 12 and Nebraska to the Big Ten. It has yet to be determined whether the Big 12 will seek to expand or simply remain at nine teams. The only school that has publicly expressed a desire to join the conference is Southern Methodist University.
- Edited by Jennifer DiDonato
Texas A&M's letter of withdrawal to the Big 12 comes just one day after the school refuted a report in The New York Times that said the school submitted the letter to Beebe on Monday.

Adegoke said.
Sacha Sinclair, a junior from London, said an unlimited plan would have been "a waste of money" for her. She instead selected a Blue Basic plan, which costs $2,798 per year and gives students $100 yearly in Cuisine Cash.
Kidwell said that she hadn't received much feedback on the new plans yet. Because students could select meal plans online this year with their housing contracts, Kidwell said Dining Services were somewhat concerned that students
were focusing on the bottom dollar rather than examining each plan closely.
Dining Services is making some additional changes to its dining centers, installing flscreen TVs and wireless internet access in Mrs. E's and Oliver. Kidwell said that the department hoped to have those features done by mid or late September.
"In colleges and universities today, our dining rooms are becoming literally the social networking site," Kidwell said.
Additionally, because of ongoing construction at GSP-Corbin Hall. Dining Services created a special
Corbin package for this year. The plan gives students access to five hot meals a week, two Cuisine-ToGo meals per day and $500 yearly in Cuisine Cash.
Dining officials said they would be tracking responses to the changes, but so far thought that things were going well.
"We're seeing 200 to 300 people in the time that would have been between lunch and dinner previously," said Jeff Schilling, assistant manager at Mrs. E's. "I would say that that's a successful and positive thing."

EDUCATION
Cursive writing eliminated from new school curriculum
TIFFANY SCHROEDER
tschroeder@kansan.com
Lexie Ferman-Ortiz, a senior from San Francisco, is unknowingly becoming the exception rather than the norm for students in college. She stands out because of something she does every day: write in cursive. Some educators consider cursive to be outdated and unnecessary, and this year's state educational standards no longer require that it be taught.
Last October, Kansas adopted a set of education standards aimed at regulating the information taught in schools across the country. The standards are part of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, which has also been adopted by 45 other states. The education standards laid out In the initiative seek to create one universal set of concepts that students in kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) will need to know before graduating high school. This would ensure that all K-12 students received the same quality of education and would all get the necessary knowledge and skills needed to go on
to college or enter the job market.
To create a universal set of educational standards, a few old requirements had to be replaced. One of which includes the requirement to teach cursive. Under that standard, states are no longer required to teach their students cursive. Instead of spending time teaching cursive, the standard requires states to spend more time teaching K-12 students how to type.
LEXIE FORMAN-ORTIZ
Some critics of the initiative argue that cursive is a vital skill and is necessary in getting a job. David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, counters the argument by saying that even today, knowing how to write in cursive is not a skill employers are demanding.
"So far, when employers are recruiting, we've never had anyone list cursive as a job requirement," Gaston said.
Supporters of the initiative agree with Gaston. They are in favor of getting rid of curvature because few students still use it when writing. This holds true for some university students, even though they were
taught to write in cursive.
"I hand write my notes and type everything else," said Seth Williams, a sophomore from Olathe. "I only use cursive to write my own name."
Regardless of whether or not they used cursive, Forman-Ortiz, Gaston and Williams all agreed that knowing how to type is a necessary skill that K-12 students will need. However, despite the importance of keeping up with modern technology, Gaston and Forman-Ortiz think that cursive should still be taught because of the things that a pen can do that a keyboard can't.
"I still think it's important to know cursive because there's something to be said about writing something down with your own hands," Forman-Ortiz said. "It's not like the relationship with a computer; you connect to the words more. Maybe it forces more memory or takes more thought because it takes more time to do it."

Denver.
Only 29 percent of adults think that an online class provides the same educational value as a traditional classroom, according to the study.
"It's easy to open a new tab and, like, stray away with that, so you definitely have to have another sense of maturity to be successful with online classes," said Jack Langdon, a freshman from
"I think online classes, I'm not a big fan of them. I don't think I would be, at least, just because you don't have teacher involvement," said Sam Goodrich, a sophomore from Topeka. "You don't have someone to ask questions to. You don't have the students around."
College presidents don't agree,however. Fifty percent of college presidents think online classes and traditional classes have the same educational value,the study said,but in the future,many of these presidents expect that most of their students will take classes online.
More than three-quarters of the colleges polled offer online courses.

New interactive kiosks will scan users' faces

The KU Memorial Unions will soon add six interactive kiosks to campus. Bob Terry, president of Axon Displays, said the software used in the kiosks will sort users by image into four categories and provide advertisers with information about their audience. These will soon make an appearance

The kiosks will include an interactive campus map, schedules for athletic events, access to the University's twitter accounts, event information and calendars.
Those who are hesitant about image-tracking software need not worry, Axon Displays is not retaining images acquired by the program.

THE KU UGLY SWEATER & KITE FLYING SOCIETY:
Everyone has their guilty pleasure, and for some KU students it consists of ugly sweaters and flying kites. Starting out as a humorous joke among a few friends, the KU Ugly Sweater and Kite Flying Society has grown to reach almost 50 members.
CONTRIBUTED BY JERRY WANG
"Anyone who has an undying love of ugly sweaters and/or loves to fly kites and be silly, just show up. Bring your friends. Bring your friend's friends. Just RSVP via Facebook if you can," junior vice president Caroline Renzelman said.
Ugly sweaters are worn for their parties and holiday-themed celebrations. During the months when the weather is too warm for sweater wearing, the group carpools to Clinton Lake to relax and fly their kites.
The KU Ugly Sweaters and Kite Flying Society has decided to use their unusual infatuation and turn it into a charity event to help others.
"We will definitely be hostin an ugly sweater Christmas party which we will be taking donations at for either Adopt a Family or Soldier, but other events have yet to be organized," Renzelman said.
Relaxation, meeting new friends, and having a good time are the things that The KU Ugly Sweater and Kite Flying Society hopes participants take away

from the experience.
"The topic is fascinating from the medical perspective, but also the post-apocalyptic "what would you do" side. Besides, the University of Kansas is woefully unprepared for a zombie invasion. Thus the ZAC was born," said co-creator of ZAC, Alex Rippberger, a junior from Olathe.
Along with the usual police security, KU is also being looked after by another discreet protective system that has one focus: zombies.

and understanding of the consequences a zombie outbreak could bring.
"There are potential for very serious discussions about pandemics, evacuations, emergencies, but these are tempered with the humor of zombie popular culture," Rippberger said.
The Zombie Awareness Council isn't just for the zombie crazed. Attending the meetings, which are said to be organized soon, will not only provide information on the concept of zombies but are also an opportunity to try something new and meet people.
With over 600 organizations available, it is apparent that KU has a group for everyone's interests, no matter how unheard of or diverse.
"I think everyone could benefit from some aspect of the organization. Whether you want a serious biology discussion or just a fun group of people to play an advanced form of tag (Humans vs. Zombies), or just chilling with friends while watching an old zombie movie," said Rippberger.

Early on Sept. 11, 2001, Americans watching morning news programs were stunned and horrified as the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York unfolded before their eyes. Hard as it is to believe, 10 years have passed since that terrible morning, and television will lead up to the anniversary with programs attempting, again, to make some sense of a day that changed America.
In an interview taped over two days with filmmaker Peter Schnall, the former president recalls his experiences hour by hour that day and in the days that followed. Bush is the only person seen on camera, and only his voice is heard _ a selling point in gaining his agreement to participate. Schnall suggested.
"George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview," premiered Sunday (repeating at 10 p.m. this Saturday) on the National Geographic Channel
Here is a closer look at three specials marking the anniversary:
1991, when Nickelodeon asked her to do a special explaining the first Iraq war. Since then, she has produced more than 100 "Nick News With Linda Ellerbee" specials.
The new half-hour gives kids too young to remember 9/11 a forum to ask questions and talk about their feelings. Although most children know about the World Trade Center attacks, they are likely to be confused, Ellerbee said.
Paul McCarthy was in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001, and spent days walking the streets, dropping in at firehouses and eventually joining in the planning of a huge benefit "Concert for New York City" at Madison Square Garden.
Filmmaker Albert Maysles ("Gimme Shelter," "Grey Gardens") followed McCartney, filming him in the same cinema verite style Maysles used for "What's Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A."
"The Love We Make," 8 p.m. Sept.
10 on Showtime
- McClatchy-Tribune
"It was a really great feeling." McCartney said about the charity concert. "We actually felt like we were doing a bit of good."

Theater owners fear effect of new discount film passes
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
At a cinema in San Francisco, about 100 people recently showed up for a free screening of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and a presentation of a kind of Netflix for movie theaters.
The service, called MoviePass, would allow consumers to watch all the movies they want for a $50 monthly fee. With the backing of AOL Ventures, the New York startup had planned a national rollout of the service this fall with online ticket firm MovieTickets. com.
But before a single pass was sold, AMC Entertainment Inc. and other theater chains blasted MoviePass, saying they were blindsided and would not honor the pass.
"Plans for the program were developed without AMC's knowledge or input," Stephen Colanero, AMC's chief marketing officer, said in a statement.
The proliferation of steep discounts on movie tickets is causing much anguish in the exhibition industry.
In theory, theaters stand to benefit from promotions if they bring in more customers who buy lots of popcorn, soda and other high-profit concessions. With most promotions, theaters still get the full ticket price because third parties cover the cost of the discounts.
Even so, some exhibitors fear the heavy marketing of low-priced tickets through discount services such as Groupon, LivingSocial
1
and DailyCandy will erode their business by encouraging moviegoers to wait for a bargain before trekking to the megaplex.
Some draw parallels to the effects that low-cost online videoreal companies Netflix and Redbox have had on the slumping DVD business.
Exhibitors can ill afford that, given that attendance — the number of tickets sold — is down about 5 percent this year compared with the same time in 2010 and has been flat for much of the last five years.
Exhibitors have also expressed alarm that studios' plans to release movies via video on demand iust eight weeks after their theatrical release will further erode their business.
For some theater owners, it's a matter of control. "I just don't want third parties setting our ticket prices," said Ted Mundorff, chief executive of Landmark Theatres, the chain co-owned by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. "We want to run our own business."
Representatives of AMC, Regal and Cinemark all declined to comment. Some of the large chains do sell blocks of discounted tickets to Web retailers like Pasadena, Calif.-based Goldstar and offer their own rewards programs. AMC, for example, recently launched a program called AMC Stubs: Customers who pay an annual fee of $12 receive rewards they can use toward tickets and concessions, based on how much they spend in
the theater.
Not surprisingly, movie ticket deals offered through websites like Groupon and DailyCandy are popular among consumers, especially in the current economic climate, when people are cutting back on discretionary spending and ticket prices are rising. The average ticket price in the U.S. was $8.06 in the second quarter of this year — the highest level on record — according to the theater association.
Industry executives argue that going to the movies remains a relatively inexpensive form of entertainment and that ticket prices, when adjusted for inflation, are still lower than what they were in 1970. Still, some industry analysts believe that rising ticket prices, largely fueled by surcharges from 3-D films, are helping drive down movie theater attendance and making consumers more hungry for deals like MoviePass.
"It's something that could be very popular for consumers, but I'm not sure about exhibitors and studios because it's changing the economics of the industry," said Wade Holden, an analyst with the research firm SNL Kagan. "They don't want to see customer expectations of pricing become lowered."
Studios are barred under federal antitrust laws from being directly involved in setting ticket prices.
But that hasn't stopped them from using ticket promotions to help market their movies.

Supporting Libya's new leader
"Does John Boehner still believe U.S. military operations in Libya are illegal?" tweedt ThinkProgress, an American political blog, as if the apparent rebel victory somehow resolved bipartisan concerns over the constitutionality of the military campaign, which was not authorized by Congress.
When Libya's rebels rolled into Tripoli, supporters of the NATO-led operation to oust Moammar Gadhafi's regime claimed vindication.
President Barack Obama signed on in March to French-led efforts to launch airstrikes against Gadhafira regime targets. The ostensible purpose was to avert, in Obama's words, "brutal repression and a looming humanitarian crisis." Believing the national attitude that there must be an American solution to any problem in the world, the president vigorously defended

human rights of Libyans.
It's hard to doubt Obama's good intentions. Libya never supplied much oil to the U.S., and oil production plummeted after the start of airstrikes, so most serious observers won't think Libya was a war for cheaper oil. Although our culture relishes the search for ulterior motives, it's undeniable that the president surrounded himself with advisors like Samantha Power and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice who are committed to
liberal humanitarianism in foreign policy.
Good intentions, alas, do not exempt people from the consequences of their decisions. It rapidly became clear that the West was committed to far more than an end to hostilities. Nothing less than Gadhaf's removal from power would suffice. This led Obama to throw in the U.S. lot with the rebels' National Transitional Council (NTC).
Based in eastern Libya, the NTC's leaders purported to speak for the diverse rebel movement, which encompassed easterners, western tribesmen, and various political dissidents, NTC officials talked an impressive game about bringing democratic governance to Libya, but disturbing questions remained about whether a rebel victory would secure the human rights NATO professed to care so
much about.
The warning signs were plentiful. When protestors first took to the streets of Benghazi, Libya, in February, many sought to rally opposition to Gadhafi with the laughable claim that he was Jewish. Moreover, eastern Libya, the rebels' stronghold, provided many of the foreign fighters who had joined the insurgency against U.S. forces in Iraq. Feuding factions within the rebel movement came to the fore last month with the killing of Gen. Abdul Fattah Younes at the hands of fellow rebels.
misrule by Gadhafa, does such indiscriminate violence indicate that the new leaders will be any more respectful of pluralism and human rights?
In an especially harrowing episode last week, rebel forces slaughtered sub-Saharan Africans because the Gadhafi regime had often employed these poor black men as servants and mercenaries. While it's important to remember the 42 years of authoritarian
During the past five decades, Gadhafi's inhumanity became all too apparent. But does it serve the U.S. national interest to prop up a new set of rulers whose chief claim to democratic fame is that they hated the old despot?
Far from justifying military operations in Libya, the rebel victory challenges the decision to back a rebell movement whose commitment to democracy is suspect at best.

US credit downgrade may inspire a solution
Id be willing to bet most people have not been paying attention to politics this summer. Why would you? What happens in Washington is unlikely to affect the sunshine on the deck of your apartment complex's pool.
By Alex Boyer
aboyer@kansan.com
But it was pretty impossible to avoid hearing about the debt ceiling and the country's credit rating.
The whole thing can be confusing but think of the debt ceiling as the limit on the country's credit card. It's an arbitrary number determined by Congress that represents the amount the country can go into debt.
This number has been raised frequently in the past, and the United States has always been able to pay it off. Soon, however, if Congress keeps raising that number, it may not be able to pay that off, sending the country further into debt.
Just like people, every country also has a credit rating (haven't you seen those commercials)? This number determines whether countries can take out loans, and the interest they pay on them. Outside firms determine these ratings. The United States has always been rated the highest rating: AAA.
After a long political battle
this summer, Congress passed the largest debt reduction bill in our country's history in a bipartisan compromise.
Truth is, it still isn't enough.
That's why one of the credit firms,
Standard & Poor, downgraded the US to an AA+ rating (An AA+ rating is like the shorter,
balding guy in the hockey mask in those commercials, which is not good). There was panic that this would send us further into a recession. It hasn't yet.
In fact, I think that the downgrade is actually a good thing.
This country is almost broke,
and the government won't be able to pay its bills if it continues spending more than it takes in. This credit downgrade has served as a wake-up call, and now politicians from both sides of the aisle are looking to cut spending
firm is unlikely to hurt us in the short term, but it might light enough of a fire under Washington politicians to do something before the other firms downgrade us as well. America needs to stop our out-of-control spending to get us back to that AAA rating, and maybe the downgrade is just what we need to make that happen.
One downgrade from one
Now you may be asking yourself "Why should I care? What does it have to do with me?" Well, like the electric bill, the United States' debt can't go unpaid too long. Eventually someone will have to pay for it plus interest, and it is likely to be our generation. Taxes will be raised on us to pay those bills off, and programs like Medicare and Social Security, which we are already paying into directly from our paychecks, will be sacrificed in order to pay those bills off. If the credit downgrade is what we need to prevent this from happening, then it truly is a blessing in disguise.

COLLEGE
What is the value of your education?
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
As another semester begins, we students try to cut back on the nights spent at the bars and correct our sleeping schedules so we are able to wake up before noon
Each fall, I have the same crippling fear. I fear I will not meet the expectations I set for myself. Every year I begin by telling myself that this year will be different and I will go beyond what my professors expect of me, but it always falls apart about three weeks into the semester when I fall behind on reading assignments and deadlines.
Considering that this is my senior year, it's inevitable that this season of my life is coming to an end. This is my last chance to go above and beyond the call of duty. I no longer want to be hitting the print button at 5 a.m. on the day the assignment is due.
Friedrich Nietzsche, in his book "Twilight of the Idols", saw education deteriorating because there were too many students who attended it for job training and stated it lacked intellect; furthermore, higher education was turning students into machines, and not critical thinkers.
College has gone from receiving a higher education to a really expensive and time-consuming
Brownback's plan to raise the academic rankings and to make the University more profitable may be a somewhat beneficial. However, it is not what is best for higher education as a whole.
To return to my earlier point, no matter what program or classes you are enrolled in for this fall semester, attempt to go that extra mile to truly gain knowledge. That said, I just I hope I can have the discipline to turn off Netflix and to instead open a book.
Moffitt is a senior in English and philosophy from Wichita.
KANSAN.COM WEEKLY POLL
Recently, Gov. Sam Brownback said that for the state's universities to receive higher rankings, they must focus on specific programs that are more profitable, while possibly cutting less-attended majors. This is not only a threat to students but it is also a threat to higher education. To focus on only a few focal, but arguably more profitable, programs disregards the whole point of education.
trade school. The point is that colleges and universities were institutions founded on the principle of gaining knowledge, not just learning one specific trade in order to get a better paying job. I would be lying if I said I wasn't here for the prospect of one day receiving a decent income from having a piece of paper that says I am educated, but also I expect to be a better critical thinker and to be a better person from that knowledge as well.

Prepping for McNeese offense
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks have been preparing all week for a battle with McNeese State University's prostyle offense, which has a proven track record against Kansas' defense, this Saturday in Lawrence.
The Cowboys are no ordinary FCS opponents, as they have finished either first or second in the Southland Conference for the past five seasons.
In practice this week, the focus has been on the plays that McNeese State coach Matt Viator will bring to the field. The Cowboys will be putting the pressure on the lajwhaws' defense, with a well-balanced offense, which had loads of success running the ball last year with an average of 153.8
yards a game.
Coach Turner Gill said the linebacker and safety positions' tackling will be particularly important for the Kansas defense come game time.
"They've got some pretty good running backs that we're going to have to tackle well." Gill said. "Their receivers are going to make some plays after the catch. That's
"They've got good runnin'
boys' running backs, as the teams' strong positions will be going at it. McMeeese starting running back senior Andre Anderson ran for 906 yards last year with an average of 5.0 yards per carry.
c some pretty g backs that
we're going to have to tackle well."
why I said we're going to have to tackle well, and if we do that, we'll be successful on defense."
TURNER GILL Coach
The linebackers will be paying special attention to the Cow
Kansas senior middle linebacker and lead returning tackler Steven Johnson will be spearheading the campaign to stop the Cowboys' rushing attack.
"They have
some little, quick running backs and an offensive line that is pretty physical," Johnson said.
While the jayhawks will have to worry about stopping the run,
the Cowboys' passing attack is not one to be necled.
Sophomore quarterback Cody Stround started two games last year and played in eight, and McNeese State averaged 188.7 passing yards a game.
With the balanced passing and rushing attack, defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said, the Cowboys' offense is very similar to one you'd see in the NFL on Sundays.
"The route structures are very similar to the west coast, pro-style," Shealy said. "It's just a good, well thought out scheme."
Safety Keeston Terry knows that the Jayhawks' inexperienced secondary will have to stay on their toes all game, because McNeese's frequently mixes up their plays.
"They run a lot of play action," Terry said. "They run a lot of posts and corner routes. It's not we haven't faced in practice from our offense."
McNeese State has gone 39-15 since coach Viator has taken over the program. They have an established system on offense that will pressure the Kansas defense early in the season.

peals to the Big 12 because TCU proved it could hang with the big boys after defeating Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl last season. On the other hand, TCU moves to the Big East beginning in 2012, which would be a huge hurdle to jump, but the Big 12 would be a much better fit. The travel costs would be significantly less and the competition in the Big 12 is higher quality.
BIG 12 FROM PAGE 10
Boise State made waves when it defeated Oklahoma in overtime of the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl on a statue of liberty play. Since then, it has grown into the underdog media darling. They have proven they can compete against the BCS schools time and time again, including last year when they traveled across the country to defeat Virginia Tech on a "neutral" field in Landover, MD. Boise State brings competitive football, but they just switched to the Mountain West Conference from the Western Athletic Conference. Boise State is also under investigation for athletic violations, which could result in sanctions that might scare away the Big 12 conference.
Rice University is attractive to the Big 12 because of its history with the Old Southwest Conference and maintains its longstanding rivalry with Texas. Rice doesn't have the athletic prestige of some of the other teams on this list, but they do have an endowment of $3.8 billion as of June, 2010, according to the Rice website, and are highly regarded academically.
The other side of the spectrum is much scarier for Kansas fans. If the Big 12 were to dissolve, it would send its members out in a scramble for each to find their
Kansas alone would possibly be tempting to any Big Conference because of its strong basketball program and BCS success as recently as 2008. Kansas is also an AAU accredited school, a distinction that all Big 10 schools held until Nebraska lost its accreditation last summer. If Kansas can separate from Kansas State, it could find its way into one of the power conferences.
own conference. With the SEC expanded to 13 teams, they would undoubtedly be in the search for at least one more.
Kansas is, as of now, stuck to the hip of Kansas State. If they can't separate themselves, they might end up out of the automatic qualifying conferences and stuck in an enlarged Mountain West or Conference-USA. Regardless, should the Big 12 dissolve, the chances of Kansas sticking with both rivals, KSU and Missouri, in the same conference appear to be unlikely.
If the Pac-12 became the Pac-16, the other big conferences would most likely want to keep up. The SEC could extend a bid to Missouri. Missouri has made it known that they have been interested in moving to the Big Ten before Nebraska got the nod. They might jump at the chance to become A&M's opposite in the SEC and save themselves.

"I love that Chelsea is with me and knowing she is always going to be there," McClinton said. "With our class, we can just keep building and there's always going to be another person that is going to push me and help the team. We're on the same level and we're ready to bring the team up."
The Pac-12 made it known last year that it wants to expand to 16 teams if possible. Rumors swirled during last summer's conference shuffle that they wanted to try and get Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, and possibly one more team from Texas, either Tech or Baylor.

Instead, thanks to two blown eighth-inning leads, Kansas City needs a victory just to split the four-game set with the first-place Tigers.
"We just need to find a way to close out these games," said rookie third baseman Mike Moustakas, who went 1 for 4 in Kansas City's 5-4 loss on Wednesday.
This time, Kansas City led 4-2 going into the eighth, but Blake Wood (5-2) couldn't get the clean inning the Royals needed to hand things over to closer Joakim Soria
Tigers rally late to beat Rovals in series finale
The Kansas City Royals probably should be riding a three-game winning streak into Thursday's series finale against Detroit.
Austin Jackson sparked the winning rally with a leadoff triple for his fourth hit of the game. Ramon Santiago followed with a sacrifice fly.
With one out and Delmom Young on first, Victor Martinez hit a tying double into left-center. Alex Gordon made a diving attempt on the ball but couldn't haul it in.
"Alex made the due until I, and couldn't tell if he got it or not until I saw Melky
"It was a combination of bad pitches by me and good swings by them." Wood said. "I threw Wilson a slider down and, he just dropped the bat head on it."
Alex Avila was intentionally walked before Wilson Betemt hit a liner into the right-field corner to drive in pinchrunner Brennan Boesch, Jeff Francoeur cut down Avila at the plate to end the inning.
The Royals put two runners on in the ninth, but Jose Valverde retired Alcides Escobar for his 40th save in 40 chances.
"I know Blake throws hard, so I was looking for something I could hit," Betemit said. "He threw me a slider, and I put a great swing on it."
The Tigers acquired the journeyman Betemit from the Rovals on July 20.
(Cabrera) running after the ball," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He covered a lot of ground to even get close to that."
"Every time you lose a one-run game, you hate it," Yost said. "We had a two-run lead and we couldn't hold it in the eighth."

Eric Hosmer had a pair of solo homers for Kansas City, which has dropped four of six. Hosmer connected in the second and the fourth, hitting a drive to right on a 1-2 pitch each time.
"You tell yourself you don't want to go down swinging and I got two pitches that were up," he said. "But good teams find ways to win games in the later innings, and that's what they did."
Kansas City added two more runs in the sixth to take a 4-2 lead. Gordon hit a leadoff single and scored on Cabrera's double.

Passion will translate to French sports
THE MORNING BREW
My French might falter, but my love of sports never will.
By the time you are reading this I will be spending my first afternoon of many in Europe. I'm studying in France for the semester to finish out my French minor, and I am both extremely nervous and excited about the trip.
Despite taking six years of French classes, I still do not possess as much confidence as I would like in my French skills. I'm nervous about getting around France with trivial, everyday things. Will I remember how to ask directions? Will I be able to have, you know, conversations with people? How do I not look like
Max Lush
mlush@kansan.com
One thing that I am not worried about is translating my passion for sports. When I was a toddler, no teddy bears graced my sheets. No, when I was a wee one I slept with one thing and one thing only: a black and green soccer ball. That thing never left my side. I took it everywhere and with it my never-ending love for sports kicked off.
an ignorant American?
Aside from perfecting my French, I'm eager to learn about European sporting culture. The city where I'll be studying, Angers,
France, is home to three professional sports teams: a second division soccer team, a first division ice hockey team and a second division basketball team.
The flow between first and second divisions in European sports leagues perhaps interests me the most. The bottom three teams of the top league get relegated to the second tier league, while the top three teams from the second tier get promoted to the first tier. The same ebb and flow happens in third and fourth tier divisions.
The amount of devotion and love a fan must have for their team when it gets demoted to a lower league is hard to fathom. Yes, my
San Francisco 49ers have been terrible for about, oh, a decade or so, but there is always next year to look to in America. Sure, they could be the worst team in the NFL, but there's always a high draft pick to look forward to, right? As much as I love the Niners, if looking forward to next year meant watching Alex Smith toss pick after pick in the freaking UFL, my passion would be fading fast.
Imagine how much less fun game day at Memorial Stadium, Allen Fieldhouse, Hogland Ballpark or any of the University's sports complexes would be if a single bad season meant the next would be spent toiling away in Division II sports.
Now imagine the life of a coach trying to recruit athletes to a recently relegated team. I prefer imagining a world where the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry exists, thank you very much.
I truly believe the best way to understand a culture is to understand the sports they play and watch. So while I study French, I plan on attending as many sporting events in Europe as I can. Or at least as many as I can afford. Along the way, I hope to learn about why sports are so universally accepted and loved.

COMMENTARY
Stupid switch, Aggies
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
In 1920, the Aggie War Hymn was created with the opening lyrics, "Goodbye to Texas University; So long to the orange and the white."
Ninety-one years later it appears Texas A&M is taking the words of their fight song to heart as they are actually splitting their ties with the University of Texas (and the rest of the Big 12 along the way).
After rejecting an invitation to join the Southeastern Conference one year ago, Texas A&M decided they would, in fact, like to join the SEC and do so quickly.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The excuse the Aggies used to change their minds and go to the SEC just one year later: The Longhorn Network was attempting to air high school football games, which would give Texas a supposed recruiting advantage.
The Longhorn Network may have pushed Texas A&M officials over the edge, but Aggie fans have been clamoring for the switch ever since the thought of conference realignment began.
The "Aggie" way of thinking not only puts an unfair amount of pressure on A&M officials to make the move but is also very shortsighted, at that.
Texas A&M fans and officials are now putting their conference stature over winning football games, plain and simple. The Aggies are 53-72-4 against the current members of the SEC West, according to CBS Sports. This doesn't sound like a move that has been well thought out.
Even if the Aggies can now sell the SEC recruiting pitch to kids, it may not mean much: Of Scout. com's top 20 prospects in Texas for 2011, only one is going to an SEC school. Even further, only two of the top 40 Texas recruits from 2011 are going to an SEC school. Meanwhile, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M fans believe that joining the SEC will finally give them a much needed recruiting edge over the University of Texas, a program that will still have more money and a higher prestige than A&M.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn,
as they can say goodbye to Texas
A&M. You can be sure they will
take pleasure in watching them get
"whooped" more often than not.

If the Big 12 were to expand, it wouldn't be going after the big fish (Nebraska, Colorado and ARM) that it recently lost. The first decision to be made would be how many teams the Big 12 should invite. When asked about the new conference schedule at the Big 12 media days, most of the coaches seemed to agree that they liked the opportunity to play everyone. Kansas Head Coach Turner Gill said it would be good for the fans to get to see every team every year and called it a "plus" for the conference.
But in a sport that is all about generating revenue, the Big 12 will want to reclaim their conference championship game by expanding to 12 teams. Who would want to join such an unstable conference that has undergone so many changes in the past two years?
12 because they have finished the season in the Top 25 four times since the 2006 season. BYU also has a strong history of being competitive, claiming the 1984 national title and having NFL Hall of Famers Steve Young and Jim McMahon as alumni. The biggest doubt that surrounds BYU is whether they really would want to give up on the independent experiment after just one season.
Southern Methodist University has been making noise, openly campaigning for an invite to the Big 12. SMU used to be a part of the old Southwest Conference, of which four former members ended up joining the Big 12. In 1987 they became the only school to ever receive the "death penalty" in football by the NCAA when they were forced to cancel their season. SMU has spent its time wondering in the desert and now wants a chance to reclaim its former spot among the AQ conferences. SMU claims three national titles and hired former Atlanta Falcons and Hawaii coach June Jones after he took the Hawaii Warriors to the 2008 Sugar Bowl.
Houston is another former member of the southwest conference that could be on the radar of the Big 12. Houston has been more successful than SMU since joining Conference USA following the break-up of the SWC. They also bring the Houston television market, 10th largest in the nation, into the Big 12. At the same time, Texas is all about UT, so chances are, the viewers gained would not be as significant as expected.
Brigham Young University recently left the Mountain West Conference for all sports, becoming an independent in football and the West Coast Conference in all other sports. BYU is attractive to the Big

Nebraska freshmen get starting positions

They're both outside hitters. They're both from Nebraska. They're both freshmen. And they're both starters on the Kansas volleyball team.
Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
MATT GALLOWAY

McClinton
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
Albers
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up, with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.
P
work to achieve
"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to
work to achieve it. That was my goal, to come in and start, but I guess I wasn't expecting it so soon."
Albers had an impressive first start on Saturday morning, recording six kills in the sweep against Liberty. She may have ensured her spot as a starter through a decorated high school career at Papillion LaVista, where she notched a state-leading 487 kills in 2009 was named the Omaha World-Herald's Girl's 2010-11 Athlete of the Year her senior season.
"That is a tough call," Bechard said. "You need to kind of get a sense for where you think their progress will be within the first month and if this is a kid that can help us by midseason. Sometimes a year of development, like in Caroline Jarmoc's case, is a good move."
Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it is one she said she plans on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.
"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen." Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Stepping in and immediately adapting to team chemistry is another challenge the two are facing. While the returning players built team chemistry over the summer by training in Italy, the freshmen were not permitted to tag along. Still, the upperclassmen have tried to make the Nebraska' natives feel at home, Albers said.
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.
"Growing up in Nebraska, I think it gave us a huge advantage," McClinton said. "High school volley-

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.

while, 11 or the top 40 records will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."

"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season.

They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.

CYBER STALKING
WHO COULD BE FOLLOWING YOU
EDITOR'S NO.
You know that feeling around 11 a.m. after pulling an all-nighter when your eyelids seem too heavy to keep open, your brain runs at least 30 seconds behind everything else and you have to seriously consider if you'll need a piggyback ride to make it to your next class?
Unfortunately, sleepless nights in the name of academia became a regular part of my semesters last year. Knowing the misery of the following day, I always made sure to do two things (aside from drinking an unhealthy amount of caffeine) to better get me through my chosen path of irresponsibility: I made an effort to put myself together in the morning and I drank plenty of water.
Putting time into my appearance or outfit went against my sleep-deprived impulse to go for comfy sweatpants that swallowed me up, much like my bed
should have. Ultimately, I used clothing and self-grooming as a way to say "No, I didn't wait until the last possible minute to do my project; I had all the time in the world to get ready this morning." Even if I couldn't articulate or refrain from yawning, my appearance said I had at least one moment of clarity that day. For more on what your outfit says about you, check out the feature on page 7.
As for my other go-to: staying hydrated. I assumed this helped counter any potential caffeine overdose, but mostly, it just made me feel better, especially drinking one coconut water (these are full of potassium and electrolytes). I prefer the brand ZICO because of the nostalgic juice-box-like packaging. Take a look at Christy's story on page 11 to see more on the latest ways to stay hydrated.
While a put-together look and electrolyte-packed water don't replace getting some shuteye, I like to think they ease the blow of an all-nighter.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing Wi-Fi internet access.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc. to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."
"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support," Loats said.

KANSAS IN HEAT // FROM FRIEND TO BOYFRIEND > Tackle the sticky world of relationships..
Question: I'm a graduate student at KU and I am in a potentially long-term relationship with a fellow graduate student of the female variety.
are going
Answer: Let me begin with the second question. I do not get the impression you want a "wild fling" or one-night stand. If your goal is to establish a connection, leading to an intimate, long-term relationship with your colleague, then why waste time and energy on an unsatisfying (emotionally and perhaps physically) tryst that might complicate things with the woman you truly desire.
My concern is that, despite being ready for such a relationship, despite having worked out a fair amount this summer, and despite gaining proficiency at some of the finer points of small talk and good dating practices, I still fall more into the "nice guy" category than the "sexy, marriagable guy" category. It has been a very long while since I've seriously engaged in any and all things "boyfriend."
Given how long it has been, how should I approach this relationship in such a way that both a stronger connection, and eventually sex, result? Second, should I wish to simply have a wild fling with one of the other scantily-clad women on campus or around town, how should I approach that differently?
People respond to confidence. Confidence is sexy! You mentioned a dedication to improving yourself inside and out. With this improvement comes confidence, with confidence comes attractiveness. But, don't confuse confidence with cockiness. Continue to be the "nice guy."
I am a woman who is passionate about travel and adventure. I enjoy exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. My passion for travel helps me to learn more about the world and to make new connections with people from different backgrounds. I also love traveling to new countries, where I can discover unique cultural traditions and experiences. Traveling has been a lifelong passion for me, and I am grateful for all the opportunities it has given me.

As far as approaching the relationship, what steps have you taken to engage your object of affection in a romantic way? Have you even asked her out on a date? Communicate your desire and interest in her and gauge her reaction. Hopefully, she will be thrilled with the idea of going on a date with you. If not, then take your fit, confident, gentlemanly booty out to meet someone new!
Finally, remove the goal of sex from the forefront of your mind. The best sex is within a trusting, intimate and comforting relationship. This kind of relationship takes some time. If you rush her into the sack you will erase and destroy the connection you worked so hard to establish. Also, women can smell desperation a mile away and will avoid you like the plague!

Amy
I would like to trade lives with a guy. Let's say a guy like George Clooney. I would want to be a sought-after guy. I'd want to know what it feels like to have all the girls wanting you.
I never leave without my cell phone. If I drive away without it, I have a panic attack and rush back. If I don't have it, I feel vulnerable. What if my car breaks down?
1
JUNIOR FROM KANSAS CITY MAJORING
WHO WOULD YOU LOVE TO
FRADE LIVES WITH FOR A DAY?
I would want to be something that has a scary element but is still sexy. My favorite [costume] was when I dressed as a corpse bride. I wore a corseted wedding dress that was falling apart so it was sexy with a lot of leg and cleavage. There are 17 costumes in my new line, including a pirate, gypsy, French maid, peacock and sexy mermaid. There's even a Hef costume.
Fallon Thompson
I'd probably want to be a cat because they're super independent, but they're still pretty wise. A dog would be fun, but they rely on humans too much. You would have to hope that you have a loving family.
2
I grew up in a small town but had 13 girl cousins about my age. Because I lived out in the country, it was hard to have friends over. So on the weekends, I would have my cousins over. Our goal was to stay up all night and watch scary movies. We never made it, but we tried.
WHAT DO YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT?
I never leave without my cell phone and of course, my KU ID. If I don't have my phone, I feel really peaceful but at first, I feel naked. After about four hours, I'm like "wow, it's nice not to talk to people."
YOU'RE GOING TO A COS
TUERP PARTY. WHAT DO
YOU DRESS UP AS?
Ryan Reynold's girlfriend. Or Bill Self's wife. I love Bill Self.
3
I would go as a Power Ranger because I'd have super sweet powers. I actually dressed up as the pink Power Ranger last year.
4
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REINCARNATED AS?
5
I would want to come back as a dove because I think that they're really peaceful and pretty.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY?
My favorite memory probably getting Barney's videotapes weekly because I was in his fan club. Those little brown packages were like Christmas every week.

HOW WE MET // JOANNE MORANDO AND BEN MICEK
> All great relationships had to start somewhere
Spanish class and baby ducks don't have much in common. However, they did spark a relationship between Joanne Morando and Ben Micek.
Three years ago, Morando, a senior from Minneapolis, noticed a "caliente" boy on the first day of her Spanish class. This boy turned out to be Micek, an alumnus from Omaha, who was a junior at the time.
"He was really cute, but I thought 'no way.' I didn't expect anything from it," Morando says.
Micek ended up not coming to class the rest of the week. When he finally returned, Morando decided to make the first move.
"I was relieved she broke the ice and I didn't have to." Micek says.
They started walking back from class together. That's where Morando says they really started talking.
"One day we were talking about how he had gotten these baby ducks as pets. I told him I wanted to see them, so that was the first time we ever hung out," Morando says.
The baby ducks weren't great pets, but Micek says they worked as the perfect pickup line for Morando. "She's the only girl I ever attempted the baby ducks line on," Micek says. "I'm not surprised it worked because seriously, who hates baby ducks?"
The couple has been dating for almost two and a half years. Sadly, Micek has since gotten rid of the ducks.

DOING WITHOUT// SHOES
> Absence makes the heart grow...?
If you don't normally walk around barefoot, my advice is not to start now.
Most of us couldn't imagine a life without shoes, so I decided to give it a shot. After two and a half hours of walking around Jayhawk Boulevard, getting thorns stuck in my heel, and attempting to maneuver around glass shards, my feet were on fire!
When I was a kid, I could run up and down my block barefoot while running over acorns and sticks like it was nothing. Those days are obviously long gone. It took everything I had in me to last as long as I did.
However, there are some barefoot daredevils on campus that aren't affected at all by the 130-degree sidewalks, thorn bushes or glass shards. Tim Clark, a junior from Lawrence who is known among his friends as "Barefoot Tim," goes barefoot everywhere he can. He even says there's a barefoot season.
Whenever the weather gets up to about 50 degrees, Tim says it's time to take his shoes off. He says nothing compares to really feeling
where you're walking on a daily basis
Going barefoot, believe it or not, can actually be good for you in some ways. According to Patty Quinlan, the nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, going without shoes can strengthen your legs from the knees down and improve your overall posture.
On the other hand, Quinlan adds, fungi, lacerations, puncture wounds and blisters are the downside to going barefoot.
With my feet still burning as I finish this article, I'd advise you to keep your soles covered. [CHRIS NEAL]

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS// CHANGING A FLAT TIRE >In case of emergency, read quickly.

You're driving along, when suddenly you begin to hear the distinctive thud of a flat tire. What do you do?
Don't panic. It's relatively easy to change a tire. Two of the most important things to do are turn on your hazard lights and make sure your car is in park, says Luke Rizza, a junior from Hesston. "You also want to block the opposite tire with a rock or tire block, so if for some reason the car moves, it won't fall off

Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-tohead, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
Whether you're a seasoned pro, or have a flat for the first time, Betty Oliva, AAA spokesperson, says to follow these steps to change your tire safely:
the jack and hit you," Rizza says.
1. Pull over on a level surface free of gravel or sand that could cause your car to move. Put your car in park, turn on your hazard lights, and check your owner's manual for any instructions specific to your type of vehicle.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.
2. Place a tire block or rock behind the opposite wheel to keep your car from shifting.
Remove the hubcap if possible.
3. Loosen the lug nuts or bolts on the wheel slightly, Jack up the car and take the damaged wheel off, replacing it with the spare.
4. Tighten the lug nuts in a cross pattern and lower the car back to the ground."Keep in mind that some spare tires may not be a full-size functional tire.Some have speed limitations and are just designed to get you to a repair shop," Oliva says.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweets.
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.
"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to

Albers had an impressive first start on Saturday morning, recording six kills in the sweep against Liberty. She may have ensured her spot as a starter through a decorated high school career at Papillion LaVista, where she notched a state-leading 487 kills in 2009 was named the Omaha World-Herald's Girl's 2010-11 Athlete of the Year her senior season.
Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it is one she said she plans on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.
"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."

Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season.

They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.

UNDRESSING YOUR WARDROBE
★
The girl drowning in her KU tee and sweatpants, the slave to logos, the guy still in his pajamas at 2 p.m., the brave soul who trekked up Mount Oread in 3-inch heels and that student who dresses nicer than some professors: just a few of the fashions spotted on the Jayhawk Boulevard catwalk.
Okay, so campus is no runway and clothes might be the least of your worries, but did you ever stop to consider what your appearance says about you?
FEATURE
Dress Evolves
From couture gowns to cotton t-shirts, history plays a part in everyone's clothing, says Bernard Kahn, professor at Parsons and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. While a plethora of factors, such as your interests, occupation and mood influence what you wear, social norms throughout history have created the dress codes we know today.
Contemporary rules of dress, especially professional attire, stem from 1700s Puritanical norms in which people felt they had a certain standard in terms of what to wear. "There was always a differentiation between the way wealthy people dressed and the way poor people dressed," Kahn says. "People who were in business either emulated or were, in fact wealthy, so it was really the socioeconomic influence that gave us the image of what a business person should look like in terms of the clothing they would wear."
Photo illustration by Mike Gunnow
That standard carried through the 1800s and developed along with business during the Industrial Age. People who sought success or were successful continued wanting to emulate a look that reflected their wealth or social status, establishing what we consider acceptable business wear. This standard continued until the 1900s when "business casual" kicked the dress code down a notch in many offices, replacing suit-and-tie attire with a more day-to-night wardrobe.
Even outside of the office, Drew Downing, a senior from Overland Park, stays true to business casual attire with a closet full of button-downs, dress pants, chino shorts and polos in an array of colors. After a childhood of private school blazers and a mother who dressed him well, Downing says his greatest style influence came from two internships he did between high school and college. Working in an office every day at 18, he adhered to the historic business wear standard, dressing the part of a businessman.
The career influence on Downing's wardrobe made him feel more mature and he's become accustomed to dressing professionally for any occasion, be it work, hanging out with friends or going to class. "I always feel better when I'm well dressed," Downing says. "I feel more confident speaking up in lectures; whereas, if I look like shit, I probably won't call out or draw attention to myself."

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
— Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.

FEATURE
Dress Speaks
Downing's belief that his outfit expresses how much he cares about himself, the occasion and even others, also influences his dress. Professor Kahn supports the KU student's theory, stating that fashion is largely a means of self-expression, and that the clothes we wear reflect the way we see ourselves.
From the color of your shirt to the type of shoe on your foot, your clothes send a message about you, whether you intend it or not, says Ryan Milner, communication studies graduate teaching assistant at KU. He has worn skate shoes since age 13, which might tell people he's a skateboarder; however, Milner's never skated a day in his life. Regardless of his skating experience, he values wearing the shoes as a marker of who he is and the subculture he identifies with.
In addition to conveying how we see ourselves, says Milner, our clothes speak to how we feel we fit in with others, and how they perceive our character, credibility and investment in them. "Appearance is strongly tied to ethos, so I always tell my students when they're giving a speech that they need to dress just a smudge better than their audience," Milner says. "Not so far above that they're alienating them, but not below them to where they don't have credibility."
Tom Beaver, De Soto senior, echoes Milner's classroom advice with his philosophy on dress. Beaver's casual graphic t-shirt, jeans and boots contrast the stereotypical preppy, business casual attire of the fraternity to which he belongs. Dressing apart from what Beaver calls his "fratty" roots allows him to branch out and associate with people outside of the Greek system. "I dressed fratty my first two years of college, but last year, I just stopped giving a crap," Beaver says. "I've made friends with people who might not have talked to me if I was wearing the typical polo and boat shoes."
To offset the Greek stereotype (and perhaps give him one less thing to worry about each day) Beaver intentionally dresses to say, "I don't care about what I wear." He believes college students' lives are hectic and a put-together outfit isn't a priority for everyone. If students go to class in pajamas or athletic clothes, it doesn't reflect their professionalism.
Even if Beaver's dress — or any student's — inaccurately represents his professionalism, appearance still says something to others and makes an impression, says Margaret Miele, psychologist and professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. "I look differently at a student coming from an internship or work who is dressed well and professionally than I do at someone who comes to class in her pajamas," says Miele. "It sets up a different dynamic between you and classmates, and also you and your instructor."
Affects
In addition to the unfavorable impression it makes on others, wearing what you sleep in to class can also affect how well you function. Not taking the time to put yourself together before work or school can cause you to have a slightly different demeanor than if you put effort into it.
Miele parallels the classroom with the philosophy behind "casual Friday." The idea was that if people dressed down, then they'd be more productive because they'd be comfortable; but the reality was that people were less productive because the comfortable clothes made for a less-productive mindset. "We all have a tendency to fall into it — we get overtired or extremely busy — but when that happens, just throwing something on is sending a message to yourself that you're not really caring and you're too tired," Miele says. "I think it has a self-fulfilling prophesy in terms of not just physically attending class, but being cognitively present, and perhaps how well you take notes and what you take away from that class that day."
Even if you're just staying home all day and you have a few things to take care of, you're a very different person if you stay in your pajamas than if you had gotten dressed, says Miele. You're different in terms of how much you accomplish, how much energy you generate and your mood. Whether or not a person takes the time to groom him or herself each day can be indicative of a person's mental health.
Emily Lyle, a sophomore from Overland Park, might be an exception. She's healthy and doesn't care much about getting ready or what she wears unless she's going out on weekends or to an important occasion. The rest of time, she sports an effortless combination of t-shirts, sweats or leggings. "If I'm just waking up and going to class or running errands, what I have on doesn't really faze me," Lyle says. "If I'm in tight jeans and an uncomfortable shirt, it distracts me, so I prefer to wear something comfortable so I'm more focused."
Not every sweatpants advocate or person who regularly wears pajama pants to class will be fazed by how they dress, says Jennifer Baumgartner, fashion psychologist and author of "You are What You Wear" (available Dec. 2011). In working with such clients (people with healthy self-perceptions), she challenges them to step it up.
"Plenty of people who walk around in sweatpants, especially [on a college campus], and are fine psychologically and feel great about themselves, but even then I would say 'Aren't you worth a little more than that?' Baumgartner says. "Why not match the outside to the inside? Then people will look at you the way you see yourself internally."
While Baumgartner prioritizes working internally and focusing on psychological health before making wardrobe changes, she says clothing's effect on people makes changes possible externally, but those changes are often temporary. Makeover shows capitalize on such a transformation, improving the way someone sees herself through a new appearance and wardrobe. Even though the effects might not be long-term, Baumgartner says it's a useful strategy for everyone, especially college students.
Dress the Part
College years can be the most difficult years of your life. The transitions from high school to freshman year, and then from the last semesters of college to the workforce subject students to changes in identity and increasing responsibilities. If you want to feel more mature or a part of the adult workforce, you have to dress the part. "You're kind of trapped between two places and then the expectations the world has on you become much harder very quickly." Baumgartner says. "You can use your wardrobe to facilitate a shift that doesn't feel so drastic, and it's quite effective if used well."
Katie Brown, stylist from Kansas City, says the importance of first impressions is reason enough to dress the part every day. First impressions and judgments are made within the first 10 seconds of meeting someone, so that's 10 seconds to showcase yourself. The lasting impact of what your appearance says about you sets the tone for relationships and is a determinant in if you get that internship, reference or job.
Not only does Gwen Cooke, 22-year-old almaen from Flossmoor, Ill., feel better when she's put together, but the notion of first impressions also motivates her to look sharp every day. She acknowledges it's a college campus and many people couldn't care less about how they look — she, too, didn't care her first two years of school — but Cooke says the change comes along with a bit of maturity and looking at school as her job. "You start to take pride in the way you look and present yourself because you never know who you're going to meet or what professor will be able to help you later on," Cooke says. "If you make a good impression every day in class, it says a lot about you and I think that will translate when professors are recommending you and speaking on your behalf."
Clothes may not make the man or woman, but they certainly add a finishing touch.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.

Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
OTO e
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc. to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.

HEALTH
GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.
The quest for a whiter, brighter smile is everywhere. Nearly every toothpaste on the market offers some type of whitening agent on the package. But before you layer on the whitening strips, look to see if you're getting what you paid for.
Toothpaste, mouthwashes and chewing gum all offer benefits of contributing to whiter teeth. Imagine waking up, brushing your teeth with whitening toothpaste, swirling around a whitening mouthwash, chewing whitenings gum in between meals, and then coming home to put whitenings strips on, only to repeat it the next day?
For some who have tried this method, these products didn't live up to their
1 upper and 3 lower stairs
expectations. Amanda Lehner, a senior from Cheney, Ks., used whitening strips because she was looking for a quick and easy way to get whiter teeth, but after a few boxes she quit using them because she wasn't noticing results.
Steven Frost, a senior from Topeka, is a dental assistant at the Douglas County Dental Clinic in Lawrence. He says that some products aren't all they claim to be. "Toothpastes are especially notorious for this, as many claim to be whitening and actually don't."
Look at the active ingredients of the toothpaste. If the only active ingredient is "Sodium Fluoride," chances are that it's not going to do much to whiten your teeth.

Frost doesn't discourage the use of whitening products, but he does recommend doing research before buying a product.
Verdict: Bad for you if the product wasn't researched.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS
> If you're going to do it, be smart. //STRESS-REDUCING FOODS
Instead of grabbing a coffee or energy drink next time you're stressed and have to study, think again. There are certain foods that are not only healthy for you, but also help reduce stress levels.
"It's important to eat foods that contain protein, complex carbohydrates and Omega-3 fatty acids in each meal or you eat," says Rachel Barkley, Associate Professor of Dietetics and Nutrition at KU Medical Center.
Complex carbohydrates prompt the brain to produce more serotonin, the chemical that keeps you calm. They keep you full longer because they contain fiber, Barkley says. Oatmeal is a good example.
Bright-colored fruits and vegetables like blueberries, oranges, and spinach are loaded with phytochemicals, Barkley says. "They're
Omega-3 fatty acids help prevent surges of stress hormones and protect against heart disease. Tuna, salmon, almonds, and avocados contain Omega-3 fatty acids. "Portion size is important because these foods contain fat," Barkley says.
Dana Wilensky, a junior from Plymouth, Minn., says she is usually under stress about twice a week since her tests are around the same time. Wilensky says she drinks a coffee each morning and sometimes later in the day when she is under stress and needs to study.

while, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.
"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to
work to achieve it. That was my goal, to come in and start, but I guess I wasn't expecting it so soon."
work to achieve
Albers had an impressive first start on Saturday morning, recording six kills in the sweep against Liberty. She may have ensured her spot as a starter through a decorated high school career at Papillion LaVista, where she notched a state-leading 487 kills in 2009 was named the Omaha World-Herald's Girl's 2010-11 Athlete of the Year her senior season.

Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it is one she said she works on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.
training in Italy, the freshmen were not permitted to tag along. Still, the upperclassmen have tried to make the Nebraska' natives feel at home, Albers said.
"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.

BEYOND THE TAP
EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON THE LATEST HYDRATION TRENDS
[ CHRISTY NUTT ]
Photo by Corrs Neal Stay thirsty. With so many options available, there's a type of water for everyone.
Some hate it, some can't get enough of it, but we all need it to survive: water. The good news for you water-haters out there is that water has moved beyond the basic tap to a place that is both hip and tasty. Supermarkets and vending machines offer trendy water alternatives to anyone willing to fork over a couple dollar bills. But what do the experts have to say about the newest forms of H2O?
THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION
Many students experienced the importance of hydration this summer with extended heat advisories and soaring temperatures in Lawrence. After all, up to 60 percent of the human body consists of water. Proper hydration helps relieve headaches, fights fatigue, promotes healthy digestion, and assists in optimal muscle function and organ function.
Keeping hydrated also helps promote healthy skin and hair. Dr. Matthew Buxton of Free State Dermatology in Lawrence says drinking water keeps liquids mobile in the body and helps assist oil pores to lubricate hair and skin.
Is anyone else feeling thirsty all of a sudden? Before you dump out your coffee and pour a glass of ice cold water, consider new research that challenges the notion that adults need eight to 12 glasses of water each day. Ann Chapman, a registered dietitian in Lawrence, says the latest study suggests that people don't have to drink all twelve glasses of actual water because a large majority of our water intake comes from food. Fruits and vegetables can consist of up to 90 percent water, and when consumed can count toward your daily water intake. Watermelons and cucumbers are particularly high in water content. Chapman says even those once forbidden caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and soda, help hydrate the body.
Mallory Liss, a senior from Lawrence, says she really likes water but only drink half of the 12 glass daily that use to be recommended. "I drink at least 5 glasses a day," Liss says. ___
COCONUT WATER
Coconut water distributors such as: Vita Coco, ZICO and O.N.E., say their products are packed with electrolytes, potassium and vitamin C. Chapman says because coconut water contains electrolytes, it can help the body recover after exercise or illness.
The hottest new way to hydrate comes from the slightly sour liquid found in unripe coconuts called coconut water. This fat-free, cholesterol-free beverage is advertised as being the ultimate sports drink made by nature.
Chapman also says some research suggests that coconut water can help lower risks for heart attacks and lower blood pressure, but she acknowledges that the scientific studies are very limited because coconut water is a relatively new product.
VITAMIN WATER
With catchy flavor names like stur-D, power-C and revive, as well as a long list of added vitamins in every bottle, Vitamin Water seems like a hip and healthy form of hydration. But what does Glaceau not want you to know about their product? Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center, says products like Vitamin Water have huge, in-your-face marketing campaigns that make consumers think the products are healthy water replacements without considering the sugar or carbohydrates they contain. "All of these products have their place, but there is no replacement for water," Boos says.
Liss says she tried Vitamin Water once but was not a fan. "It seems like a total gimmick. You don't need to do much more to water than just let it be what it already is," Liss says.
What about those added vitamins? Those have to be good for you, right? Chapman says Vitamin Water distributors want you to believe that you are not getting the needed vitamins from your diet so you must get them from water, but this is not true. Chapman says, in general Americans are over nourished not under nourished, and the additional sugar and calories only add to problems with obesity and diabetes.
Abby thill, a senior from ellinwood kan., Says she loves water and sometimes craves it. Recently thill began adding a wedge of lemon to her water for an extra zing. Compare the nutritional facts of an 8 oz glass of water that has a quarter wedge of lemon with nutritional facts of other popular beverages.

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO FIGHT A MIXED MARTIAL ARTS MATCH > We know you're curious
| BY ALEX GRANDSOULT AS TOLD TO MATT GALLOWAY |
On Sept. 18, 2010, Alex Grandsoult, a junior from Derby, won his first and only mixed martial arts match by submission with a triangle choke 57 seconds into the second round. The contest was held at Arant Shrine Temple in Kansas City, Mo., and featured Kansas fighters against Missouri fighters. Grandsoult is also a member of the school's Jiu-Jitsu club and cheerleading squad.
REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR TEXT HERE.
When you're growing up, people always tell you never to hit anybody and to be nice. But there I was, in the middle of a ring with all my friends and family shouting, "Beat his ass! Beat his ass!" Every time I hit him, the crowd got louder and louder. It was kind of like a culture shock. It felt like a dream. Having your parents encourage you to hit someone in the face is weird. Really weird
The prefight feeling was awful. It really was. I wrestled all through high school and learned very early on that if you get hyped up before the fight, you will have no energy left for the fight itself. So, on the drive to the building, we listened to nice, relaxing music. When I got backstage I isolated myself and tried not to think about the match.
Before the bout — and this is the part that sucks — the dude that you're about to fight is right there in the same area as you warming up. There was a lot of tension in the room until the promoter called my name.
My opponent wasn't physically intimidating. I knew as soon as I saw him that I was going to win. You can tell by looking into somebody's eyes if they're trying to look
I took the headphones off and heard everyone screaming. I saw my opponent on the other side and started to think of all the evil things in the world and everyone who had pissed me off in the past.
The advice I was given was to listen to my headphones until I got down to the ring. I put on a really angry song, "Switchback" by Celldweller, and when I decided that wasn't angry enough, I switched to a Seventendust track.
I wrestled all through high school, and for some dumbass reason, my corner kept yelling, "Jab! Jab! Jab!" So I spent the first two-and-a-half minutes getting hit in the face. The kid hit like a kitten, but it was annoying. I had enough room in my corner so I just took him down. I grabbed his shoulders, stepped in front of him and threw him over my leg, which tripped him. As soon as the fight hit the mat, he had no right to be there with me. I trapped him early in the second round and made him submit with a triangle choke.
Half the crowd erupted and the Missouri半休edo. Someone told me if you win a fight, you have about 10 to 15 seconds to be the biggest douchebag on the planet. You can say and do whatever you want, so I did. I went up to the Missouri side and put on a shirt with a Jayhawk humping a Tiger and said, "Look at this!" They hated that. I stopped after 10 seconds; it was time for me to be a gentleman again.

scary or if they actually are. The kid was shifting back and forth, trying to stare at me, and I just smiled. I said "You are going to hate this." Then the bell rang.
I still have a dent in my shin from kicking his hipbone so hard. I was sore for about a month. But I think I might do it again someday. Just not during the school year.

"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.
"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to
work to achieve it. That was my goal, to come in and start, but I guess I wasn't expecting it so soon."

"That is a tough call," Bechard said. "You need to kind of get a sense for where you think their progress will be within the first month and if this is a kid that can help us by mid-
Albers had an impressive first start on Saturday morning, recording six kills in the sweep against Liberty. She may have ensured her spot as a starter through a decorated high school career at Papillion LaVista, where she notched a state-leading 487 kills in 2009 was named the Omaha World-Herald's Girl's 2010-11 Athlete of the Year her senior season.
Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it is one she said she plans on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.

training in Italy, the freshmen were not permitted to tag along. Still, the upperclassmen have tried to make the Nebraska' natives feel at home, Albers said.
"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.
"Growing up in Nebraska, I think it gave us a huge advantage," McClinton said. "High school volley-

NOTICE
Following... Has Never Been So Easy A picture really is worth 1,000 words
NADIA IMAFIDON
We're all guilty of procrastinating hours of study time skimming our Facebook news feeds instead of our notes. Then, our eyes catch the name of an ex and we find ourselves clicking on it. We end up searching through photos and glancing over wall posts just to see what this person has been up to.
It's all very innocent but more importantly, easy. How many times do you wonder who is innocently "stalking" you?
Geotagging: The Stalker's Dream?
Approximately one in four stalker victims have reported some type of cyberstalking, according to a 2009 study by the Department of Justice. These statistics were reported before Foursquare was founded.
You can see why people might be skeptical to lav out their daily routine online.
SUA advisor Michelle Compton is involved with at least five social networking sites, three of which are location-based sites. Locationbased social networking sites are not necessarily a problem, Compton says.
Geotagging, however, can create problems for those of us unaware of its existence in smartphones. Geotagging is the storage of location-based data on various media. The exact longitude and latitude of where a photo was taken can be traced. Simply posting pictures from your smartphone to your Twitter account can put you in danger.
Compton is aware that she can be located through photo data, but posts photos on the web regardless. "I'm not somebody you are going to want to steal from," Compton says. "I don't have anything."
rroving The Point: Protect Yourself
Not everyone is as digitally confident as Compton. ICanStalkU.com, a website founded
by Ben Jackson and Larry Pesce, worked on a project in May 2010 to prove to individuals that posting even the menial aspects of their lives,like what they had for lunch,through photos could lead to cyberstalking. Jackson and Pesce use programs to extract data from photos. Then they post the location of whoever they have "stalked" on their website. According to their site, they hope to "get enough exposure to the problem so that [they] can start to curb its continued use."
On ICanStalkU.com, Jackson and Pesce explain that most smartphones have GPS locating technology built inside. Very few people are aware that their location will be on the web for anyone to see each time they post a photo. The easiest way to fix this is disabling the geotagging feature from your phone instructions are shown on ICanStalkU.com.
Austin Karp, a freshman from Boca Raton, FL., is very active on his account on Foursquare but like many students, he had no idea that he could be located through posting photos from his phone. Knowing this did bother him.
Foursquare is not the problem
There are numerous social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google +, Goalla, and Yelp. Andrew Fillmore, a senior from Belle Plaine, uses all of these sites. As a strategic communications major and SUA member, he tries to keep up with the latest social media. His latest obsession: Foursquare.
Foursquare is a location-based social networking site where users can "check-in" with their smart phone or through SMS at different locations and share their location with friends while gaining points and virtual badges. Foursquare has taken off, now with more than 10 million users worldwide.
But with the birth of Foursquare in 2009 came the birth of stalking fears. It's a common misconception that checking-in on Foursquare means everyone can see where you have been.
On the site, the privacy policy emphasizes that only friends you approve can view your check-ins. "I think people are afraid of getting Foursquare because they think they can easily be stalked," Fillmore says. "However, if you decide to connect your Foursquare account to your Twitter account, anyone online has access to this information."
Fillmore rarely tweets his Foursquare check-ins. Only recently has he tweeted them to keep up with KU's Foursquare campaign.
It never hurts to check your privacy settings to make sure that not just anyone can view your profile on any social media. You never know who might come across your name and start skimming your information or get a hold of a photo. Bottom line: don't make it easy.
Jp
What Stalkers can determine from analyzing photos:
-Where you live
-Family members
-Who lives with you
-Frequent hang out spots
-Where you eat often for lunch/dinner
-Who you go out with
-Organizations you may belong to
-important dates in your life (birthday,
anniversary etc.)

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
- Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."
"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support," Loats said.

Beer. It makes sports that much more enjoyable.
> New places. New faces.
Not only is White Chocolate a great place to check out the latest skate merchandise, but it's also a great place to hang out.
If skateboards and skate gear are your type of candy, then White Chocolate is your sweet spot. Located at 933 Mass. St., White Chocolate has provided a variety of skateboarding must-haves, ranging from skate decks to apparel, since 2009.
"It's a place where I hope people aren't judged. I guess I can't speak for everyone, but the vibe I want to send is openness, an inclusive vibe," says Rod Smith, owner of White Chocolate. "We have a dedicated area that allows individuals to sit down & watch videos, read magazines or just doodle on a piece of scrap paper."
Besides being a skateboard shop with a laidback atmosphere, White Chocolate is also a place where social events are held. "We've had a few video premieres, a few art shows, some in conjunction with Final Fridays, and a few live DJs," Smith says.
Don't be fooled, though; White Chocolate isn't just for skateboarders.

MOVIE REVIEW // ANOTHER EARTH
>Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything inbetween.
Science fiction often sets itself in faraway worlds so it can better explain the one we live in. "Another Earth" uses the backdrop of a second Earth, forcing the main character to wonder what another world would be like if she was able to fix her mistake.
Rhoda Williams (Brit Marling) looks into the sky and dreams of traveling to the moon, stars and beyond, and for a moment, the universe seems to grant her special credence. Rhoda, with her mind in the sky, isn't paying attention as she collides head-on with the vehicle driven by successful composer John Burroughs (William Mapother). The accident kills Burroughs' son and wife, and puts him in a coma.
Questions like, "where did this Earth come from" and "why isn't there any mention of tides being affected," are never answered. This might take away from viewers who aren't able to suspend their disbelief, but director Mike Cahill isn't concerned with these details.
Released from her four-year stint in jail, Rhoda goes to Burroughs' house to apologize, but as he stumbles to the door (out of his coma but still feeling the effects), she balks under the moment and offers a "trial cleaning" of his
house instead. He accepts, and it gives Rhoda the cathartic experience that may rid her of her guilt.
Cahill uses too much hand-held camera for a meditative film like this, but the end result is a movie that is resourceful in its small budget. Marling gives a soft and subtle performance, essential since she is in every scene. The problem with this film is that it doesn't fit a genre very well; the romance that brews is unsettling, so it doesn't work as a typical date movie. And the sci-fi aspects aren't a driving force of the narrative.

while, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn,

I walked into the house less than 15 seconds ago and already my Dad has handed me a stack of extensive "research" on law schools. He thinks that Googling a law school gives him makes him an expert on the subject. I can't help but roll my eyes and sigh heavily.
"I'm just applying to different places, Dad, not making a final decision. I've been researching schools for hours. Please just drop it."
"Do you know how much tuition costs at Iowa? It's over $42,000 a year. KU is the logical choice. It doesn't make sense for you to apply ..."
Suddenly, I can't take anymore of his "logic." I can feel my face flush and the anger rise up my throat and spill out of my mouth. I'm screaming now. "How dare you even imply I'm not taking this seriously! It literally consumes my thoughts! You just can't handle even the idea of me leaving you! That's all this is!"
The rest of the confrontation is a blur as we hurl accusations back and forth and the insults intensify. I make it a point to slam the door as hard as I can as I storm out of the house. What a lovely visit home.
That was the typical outcome of conversations — or rather screaming matches — with my Dad as I was applying for law school. Deciding a future life path is complicated enough without having a meddling father. You see, I'm an only child. I didn't have the experience of deciding where to go for college. It was pretty much predetermined before my birth that I would follow in my parents' footsteps and become a Jayhawk. So potentially leaving home was a whole new frontier for me.
My Dad and I are two very different people. I love traveling and don't get homesick, one of the reasons exploring law schools away from home was an attractive option. He couldn't understand that. He's someone who stayed within 30 miles of where he was born and he never intends to leave. Even though I'm only 30 minutes away, my Dad still misses me intensely. Imagine what hours would do to him.
As I applied to law schools other than KU, my Dad's idea of KU Law as the best, and only, option intensified. His "research" of schools consisted of biased Google searches that only explored the pitfalls of all other schools. KU stood alone as the most logical, convenient, and of course, cheapest choice.
I'd excitedly tell my Dad about ways I'd learned to defray the high tuition rates at Iowa, or about the school in California where I'd gotten a hefty scholarship. His response was silence, then a grunt.
"Hmm."
"Isn't that exciting, Dad?
"I had no idea you had gotten a scholarship there."
"Dad, that's not true. I told you about it the other day."
"Well I don't know anything about it!
It was evident that there was more going on than just an aversion to high costs. I asked my mom one day why he couldn't support my decision.
"As a parent, from day one you're preparing your kids to leave the nest," she said. "You have to prepare them, and yourself, for when they inevitably start their own life. Your Dad hasn't come to terms with you leaving yet."
And so the dilemma. As I tried to make this decision for myself, my Dad pressured me to decide on KU not simply for his aforementioned "logical" reasoning, but because he was afraid. He was afraid of losing his little girl.
This fear had manifested itself in ugly fights and lackluster responses at the news of my acceptance at other schools. It wasn't that my Dad wasn't proud of me, or didn't have faith that I could make the decision on my own. He was simply clinging onto his daughter. With a clearer understanding of where he was coming from, I asked him one day about why he was pressuring me to choose KU.
"Dad, all logical reasoning aside, do you think you might be favoring KU because it's the closest school?"
A long pause. "I think that's certainly a possi- bility, yes."
"I need you to understand that this is ultimately my life and my decision. I just want your support, but I honestly don't feel I have it unless I choose KU."
Another prolonged silence. "I'll try my hardest to have an open mind."
And there it was; the subtle admission I had been waiting for. We had tentatively climbed onto the elephant in the room. It was the first conversation we'd about law school that didn't involve yelling. After that, my Dad made a conscious effort to temper his enthusiasm for KU. He let me do my own research and visit other schools. Most importantly, he listened when I talked.
After a too-good-to-be-true scholarship offer from KU, my Dad got his wish and I enrolled at KU Law. But I didn't make the decision for him. I made it because it was the best choice for me.

There's no manual for making the transition from child to adult. There's not a formula telling you the sudden instant you — not your parents — have control over your life. It's an individual process and it's clear that my Dad and I have a slower pace.
But maybe now we'll have a better understanding of each other and my Dad can start to let go. I realize now that instead of severing the ties — or rather the rope — that binds us together, I'm going to have to cut it one string at a time. After all, I am an only child and my Daddy's only little girl.

while, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.

Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it is one she said she plans on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.

Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notorious competitive high school volleyball circuit.

University to institute wireless improvements

After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wesco beach and Potter Lake.

As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote.
"From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."

In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard." Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support." Loats said.

SHANKSVILLE. PA.
Relatives of passengers and crew members who perished on United Airlines Flight 93 will hold a private funeral and reininterment service for unidentified remains at the western Pennsylvania crash site the day after the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
PARACHINAR, PAKISTAN
The Sacred Ground is located within the Flight 93 National Memorial but is closed to the public. On Sept.12, the entire memorial will be closed to the public until 2 p.m. to allow for the private service.
The Sept. 12 ceremony will take place at what's called the Sacred Ground site in the fields near Shanksville, the rural area southeast of Pittsburgh where the 40 passengers and crew members lost their lives after fighting terrorists for control of the plane.
Gunmen killed seven Shiite Muslims in an attack on a minibus in northwestern Pakistan on Thursday, while two people died in a suicide car bomb attack on a police station.
MOSCOW
Allied to al-Qaida and the Taliban, the militants frequently target Shiites, whom they regard as non-Muslims, as well as Pakistan's pro-Western government.
Government official Jamel-ur-Rehman said the gunmen ambled the bus in an area of the Kurram tribal region close to the Afghan border, which has been repeated attacks on its Shiites over the last year.
Police officer Sana Ullah said officers opened fire on the vehicle, which blew up at the gate of the station in the Lakki Marat district. The driver was killed. The two other dead were shopkeepers. Several policemen and bystanders were injured, he said.
Russia has recognized the Libyan rebel movement as the country's acting leadership.
A short statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday said diplomatic relations between Moscow and Tripoli will continue and it recognized the rebel Transitional National Council.
Australia
Russia was critical of the NATO military campaign that aided the rebels in overthrowing Moammar Gadhafi.
An international conference on Libya is taking place on Thursday in Paris.
The Russian envoy has said he will defend Russia's economic interests in Libya.
SYDNEY
The headless remains of Australia's most storied criminal, Ned Kelly, have been identified, officials said Thursday, ending a decades-long mystery surrounding the final resting place of a man now seen by many as a folk hero.

Kelly, who led a gang of bank robbers in Australia's southern Victoria state in the 19th century, was hanged in 1880. His corpse's fate was unknown, though it was long suspected his body lay alongside 33 other executed inmates in a mass grave at a prison.

Officials pinpointed the location of the grave site in 2008 and later exhumed the bodies for analysis. A DNA sample from one of Kelly's descendants confirmed that one of the skeletons — which was missing most of its skull — was that of the notorious Ned, said Victoria Attorney General Robert Clark.

ACCIDENT
Man crashes truck, damages dwelling
PAGE 3
TAYLOR WILLIAMSON twilliamson@kansan.com
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2011
A man in a black truck drove into a house near the intersection of Sixth and Tennessee Streets early yesterday evening, which caused substantial damage and left the surprised residents an interesting lawn ornament.
Melinda Toumi, a postdoctoral researcher in the chemistry department, lives in the house with her husband and two children. She was reading a book inside with her youngest child at the time of the crash.
"I heard a really loud noise and looked up to the window, and saw the pillars of the porch fall over," Toumi said. Police responded to the scene, and a wrecker was called to get the truck out of the yard. The porch was severely damaged, and without the pillars, the stability of the roof overhang
was compromised.
The driver of the truck was initially unconscious, but eventually came to, according to Toumi.
"He started opening his eyes and speaking, saying he was really sorry," Toumi said. "“There was definitely a strong smell, I asked him how much he had to drink and he said 'Not much.'"
And some local high school students witnessed the wreck, according to Toumi.
"They said the truck was in the air when it hit my porch."
Toumi said she wasn't sure how much it will cost to repair the damage, but was just concerned about the safety of her family.
"My husband's at Home Depot right now," Toumi said, "just trying to get enough lumber to prop the roof up for the night, for safety."
Last night a man driving a black truck crashed into a home at the intersection of Sixth and Tennessee. The crashed caused substantial damage to the porch and lawn of the home, forcing the homeowner to temporarily prop up the porch overhang with lumber.

EDUCATION
Dean is all business with alma mater
CLAIRE MCINERNY
cmcinerny@kansan.com
Growing up in India, Dr. Neeli Bendapudi was in love with the University of Kansas. For three years while her father worked on his doctorate here, Bendapudi and the rest of hr family heard stories from her father's time at the University. Years later, Bendapudi completed her own doctorate here and is now 31 days into her tenure as dean of the business school.
M. S. R. BADGLEY
UNIVERSITY RELATIONS
Bendapudi was hired after William Furest resigned last year in the midst of questions about how the school was using student course fees. She returned to Kansas after teaching at Ohio State and serving as executive vice president and chief customer service officer of Huntington National Bank.
Business is the most popular major for Kansas students, with more than 1,025 declared majors and 745 minors. Bendapudi is excited to maintain the popularity of the business school and also expand its knowledge base out to non-business students.
Bendapudi said a business minor for students is a perfect addition to any major.
"You could be an optometrist, a veterinarian, an engineer, but where are you going to work? You're going to work in a business of some kind," Bendapudi said. "Having a sound understanding of how business works makes you more effective in whatever your core area is."
The main goal Bendapudi wants to focus on as dean is promoting and helping students find jobs after their time at the University. In the current job market, it is not enough to attend
class and get good grades, she said, so students must have the initiative to get internships and be proactive with their futures.
"It's a tough economy, but there's always room for the best prepared," Bendapudi said, "So I want my students to be the best prepared in the classroom and eventually the boardroom."
Because business is such a popular major, not only at the University but also at colleges across the country, there is a lot of criticism about it being a major where students can slack off. The New York Times published an article in April reporting how business students nationwide don't graduate with all of the skills needed to survive in the job market.
Patrick Mahoney, a senior from Overland Park, finds his business education to be appropriately challenging. After switching his major from political science to business three semesters ago, Mahoney feels more prepared to graduate this spring.
"In the business school it's a different way of thinking. You have to think more analytically and all your classes tie together", Mahoney said. "You use everything from one class in another class."
Business students at the University have to learn the fundamentals of all areas of business, something employers find incredibly useful.
For the past two years, Brian Jones, the senior director of human resources for American Eagle, hired students from the KU business school to intern for the company. Jones said his company had such a great experience with these students that they offered a few full time positions after graduation.
"The folks we have found in the business school have been very teamwork oriented,very collaborative, and high levels of integrity." Jones said.
With the current state of Wall Street and major financial institutions, studying finance or business might seem daunting to students. The very people who are supposed to be experts on business and the economy are the ones who made mistakes leading to the current recession.
Bendapudi says having more diversity on Wall Street and in financial institutions could prevent problems like this. Students from the same big business schools are consistently recruited to run the economy, but having more down to earth Midwest
students with the same business fundamentals adds more variety to the industry.
Bendapudi found that her business degree from the University was able to match up with 'hose from better-known business schools, and that the University prepared her with moree experience.
"I think the opportunity at KU is that we are large enough that a student can really go out and get the whole breadth, but that we are really small enough that we can tailor to that student," Bendapudi said. "But the student has to take ownership of that."

Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
"One of the sounds we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."

Lawrence transit receives award
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After implementing a cooperative public transportation system, Lawrence and the University of Kansas have been recognized by the Federal Transit Administration for the largest increase in ridership among urban transit providers in the state.
The collaboration between University and city transit services led to more than 1 million total riders throughout Lawrence in 2010, according to the Federal Transit Administration.
The city of Lawrence increased its ridership from 549,186riders in2009 to 670,756 in 2010—a 22 percent increase.
Ridership on University Park and Ride buses increased nearly 12 percent, from 424,539 riders in 2009, to 475,007 in 2010.
The award was presented to the city last week at the annual meeting of the Kansas Public Transit Association in Manhattan.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of University Parking and Transit, said that University and Lawrence transit officials began to jointly coordinate new bus routes about three years ago. The group's plan was launched in an effort to improve accessibility and efficiency of the public transportation system in Lawrence for both riders and transit providers.
"It just didn't make a whole lot of
sense — one bus following another down the street," Kaiser said. "What we've done is to try to take a look at the city as a whole."
Kaiser said that the improved transit system provides several benefits to the Lawrence community, including a more environmentally friendly service that reduces traffic congestion and use of fossil fuels.
Robert Nugent, public transit administrator of Lawrence, said the comprehensive transit system provides convenience for community members, including University students.
"Anybody can ride transit just about any time of the year," Nugent said. "We've restructured our service so KU students could not just use the service
on the 160 days that they're in session, but so that they can use it many more days."
As a result of city and University cooperation, all University of Kansas students are welcome to ride city bus routes by showing a student ID card. Conversely, all Lawrence citizens with a city bus pass can ride University bus routes.
For more information, call KU on Wheels at (785) 864-4644 or visit www.lawrentcensit.org for Lawrence, and www.kuonwheels.ku.edu for the University.

A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Buldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.
"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to

Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.

DEATH
Pharmacy student passes away in home
Sara Schebler, a six-year pharmacy student, died at her home in Olathe on Monday, the University said. She was 31.
According to an obituary in the Times-Republican, a central Iowa newspaper, Scheebler earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Iowa in 2002. She and her husband, Peter, moved to
Olathe where she earned a master's degree in pharmaceutical chemistry from Kansas.
"Those that were close to her will remember her infectious laugh, her smile, and her devotion to Hawkeye football. Her love of life extended to animals, especially her 3 cats," the obituary reads.
Schebler had almost completed a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, the obituary said, and was working as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens.
On Thursday, the University offered condolences in a statement.

dean, also addressed the death in a statement.
Josh Skipton, a 23-year-old former University student, died in a motorcycle accident on Iowa Street Wednesday evening, several friends and acquaintances of Skipton said.
"My condolences go out to the family and friends of Sara Schebler. All of us at the KU School of Pharmacy are saddened by the loss of this very bright young woman," Audu said.
Police officers blocked off Iowa Street between Bob Billings Parkway and Stratford Street for several hours, causing major traffic delays.
On Wednesday, Sgt. Matt Sarna, a spokesman with the Lawrence Police Department, said a motorcycle and van collided around 6:13 p.m. Wednesday near the corner of Iowa Street and University Drive. The motorcycle was traveling north on Iowa Street and the van was traveling south. Police found Skipton dead when they arrived. Sarna said there were no other injuries.
Sarna also said fatalities at the inter section are rare.
"I called him a bunch of times on the phone to try to get a hold of him because he was the one biker we couldn't account for and it was a black bike that went down." Morrissey said. "As soon as we got confirmation that it was him I seriously dropped to the ground and started crying. I couldn't talk. Something took over my body. I couldn't do anything but cry."
Diana Morrissey, who is applying to the nursing school, had ridden with Skipton and is part of the Lawrence Sport Bike Association along with Skipton. She said when members heard that there had been an accident they began calling through a list of bikers.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 2 at the Mitchell Family Funeral Home in Marshalltown, Iowa. Funeral services will be at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 3 at the St. John Lutheran Church in State Center, Iowa.

A Facebook page memorializing Skipton had more than 300 members as of early Thursday evening.
"Such a polite and gentle soul. The world really lost a good person. You will be missed Josh. My condolences to the Skipton family nobody could replace him," one person wrote.
"On behalf of the entire University of Kansas community, I offer the deepest sympathies on the death of Sara Schebler", Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones at this difficult time."
Skipton worked at Briggs's Auto and had worked at Jack Ellena Honda in the past as a salesman.
Before coming to the University, Skipton had also been a student at Kansas State University. Morrissey said plans are in the works to get purple bracelets that read, "Josh Skipton: 1988-2011."
Ahmed Alyousef, a law student from Saudi Arabia and president of the bike association, rode with Skipton for several years.
"The first time I met him was about three years ago. I sent a message on Facebook telling everybody in our group that we were going to have a ride. He joined us that day. We went on a ride to Topeka and back. From that time we started hanging out a lot even outside of the motorcycle group." Alousef said.
"Our hearts are saddened by the loss of Josh Skipton's life yesterday evening. To his family and friends, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you journey through this extremely difficult time," Jack Ellenna Honda posted on their Facebook page Thursday.
Attempts to contact the Lawrence Police Department for comment were unsuccessful.
Alyousef said Skipton was never without a smile and was laid back and generous.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing Wi-Fi internet access.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
— Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
"It's terrible." Erickson wrote.
"From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc. to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."

Still a future in acting for 'Godfather' star Robert Duvall
Robert Duvall knows the day will come when he'll stop acting.
But when?
That day keeps getting further away for the 80-year-old Oscar winner, who keeps getting offered interesting parts to play.
Duvall keeps good scripts. His resume reads like a Top 10 Movies list from the
The latest role to grab his attention is as Johnny Crawford, an ex-professional golfer who has turned the sleep community of Utopia, Texas, into an inspirational haven in the film "Seven Days in Utopia." Crawford becomes the professional and spiritual mentor for a young golfer (Lucas Black) who stumbles upon his ranch/golf course.
American Film Institute: "The Godfather," *M*"A*S*H," *Network," *Apocalypse Now*, "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Tender Mercies" and "Get Low." He's been an equally strong acting force in TV, from "The Twilight Zone" to "Lonesome Dove."
"It was a good story, a feel-good script," Duvall says in a telephone interview from New York.
There's been no real strategy to his role selection — he just chooses what feels right.
By Dave Green
One thing didn't feel right about the "Seven Days in Utopia" script. Duvall thought his character was a little too bland and neutral, not the kind of man who brings the wisdom of the world to back up his advice. He wanted his role to be a little less saint and more sinner.

"I told them there was only one Jesus so don't make the character so perfect. Give him some flaws," Duvall says. "You have to have obstacles to create drama."
Conceptis SudoKu
He should know after more than 50 years of working in TV and film. Despite all that experience, Duvall doesn't want

to act as a mentor to any young actors because he feels they're already extremely talented. He prefers to respect his fellow actor's space. If they are to learn anything from him, it will come from watching him work.
As for his own career, the closest person to being a mentor in his life was Marlon Brando. He says all the others who wanted to give him acting advice weren't that good.
Duvall enjoyed shooting "Seven Days in Utopia." He says the Texas town was one of the best places he's filmed in his entire career. Duvall, who calls social dancing and horses his favorite pastimes, also liked the horse he got to ride during the
filming.
"His name was Wild Card and he had never been used in a movie before. But he was a phenomenal quarter horse stallion who would hit his mark every time," Duvall said.
Duval's golf skills, on the other hand, are pretty bare. It's the thrill of acting that keeps Duval working.
"There are times when I still get nervous before filming," Duvall says. "I recently worked with Billy Bob Thornton and I had a scene that made me so nervous, I could hardly sleep. The fear was overhelming but that fear propelled me and the scene came off well."

Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.
"Growing up in Nebraska, I think it gave us a huge advantage," McClinton said. "High school volley

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wesco beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology 's busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"It's terrible." Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing Wi-Fi internet access.
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."

"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support," Loats said.

EDITORIAL
Home crowd support is key to victory
The pageantry of Kansas football is alive and well on game day
Crowds of Jayhawk fans exude the same mass excitement, wearing common crimson and blue with a fervent sense of pride. In Lawrence, you will undoubtedly find the streets of the student ghetto succumbed by fans, the competitive nature of recreational drinking games simulating football players' resolve, and the Rock Chalk chant upup and down the hill by students, staff and alumni alike.
But really, the point of poetry
is this; on game day, morale is at a peak and the whole town comes together to celebrate the game, regardless the spread predictions.
Let's be honest. It's no secret that basketball is our shining star in the realm of national collegiate sports, but to be a diehard Jayhawk means supporting football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, rowing, baseball, softball or whatever other athletic event is being played, no matter the predictions.
Despite the distressing Sports Illustrated forecast of our team's season, it's still important to show
up and support the players who put their bodies, limbs and heads on the line for you. Home crowd support is a key intangible in any football game. A raucus home crowd can will our team to victory and prove naysayers wrong. The University is consistently lauded for our school spirit and we should back that up with fanfare galore.
And if we want our team to climb from the bottom of the hill, let's help coach Turner Gill show future recruits that we have their backs. Let's show them we will
create a comfortable atmosphere that will support the team win or lose (but more if they win).
They say that when you win, you silence all the doubters, so let's look on the bright side. Jayhawk football was predicted to go 1-11 in our conference, so if that or anything better occurs, we should cheer like it's the damn BCS championship.
Dude, we should go to the football game today.
Dude, leave me alone. I won't go when I know we gonna love. I only go to the basketball game.
... You shouldn't go either.
Cheer like there's no tomorrow.

white, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooed" more often than not.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.

Group to protest budget cuts
'Kansans United in Voice and Spirit' to rally at Capitol
AUTUMN MORNINGSKY
amorningsky@kansan.com
Governor Brownback has been under intense scrutiny lately for his administration's decisions regarding budget cuts. Two Lawrence psychologists have teamed up to protest the Governor's efforts to defund many statewide social programs, such as Social and Rehabilitation Services
and Planned Parenthood.
Tamara Werth and Crystal McComas formed the group Kansans United in Voice and Spirit after many of Kansas' social programs were cut or defunded. The group aims to protect these programs and the citizens that are affected by the legislation — citizens who Werth said have been left stranded, vulnerable and desperate.
PAGE 9
"We want Kansans who are concerned and are upset and are discouraged by what is happening to their state to come together and be that greater voice and make a statement that we care about what happens to our state and our society." Werth said.
Since his election to office in November 2010, the Brownback
administration has closed SRS offices across the state, cut public education and Planned Parenthood funds, and made many other cuts in order to reduce the state budget. The controversial decision to close the SRS offices led Lawrence and several other cities across Kansas to begin funding the agencies on their own.
Werth said she has seen enthusiasm ranging from state-funded organizations to concerned citizens, and expects hundreds to show up at the
Now, the group says, they are planning a rally to protest that administration's decisions. Kansans United and their supporters are planning to protest Sept. 16 at the Capitol building in Topeka.
Capitol building in two weeks.
Kansans are encouraged to attend the rally on Sept. 16 at the Topeka statehouse at 10 a.m. Anyone interested in participating in Kansans United or the protest rally can visit the group on their Facebook page, or visit www.kansansunited.org.
"We wanted it to be a statewide rally and to invite people from all over Kansas because it's very clear that all of Kansas — Republican, Democrats, Independent, whatever the political affiliation — are concerned about what is happening in Kansas," Werth said.

Police hunt for fake IDs
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolia@kansan.com
Last Sunday, bars, restaurants and liquor stores were invited to Fake ID 101 training put on by the police and fire departments, the county prosecutor and Alcoholic Beverage Control. The 154 attendees learned what to look for when trying to discern a fake from a real ID.
A real ID has markings that appear under a black light, hologram, overlapping print, a ghost picture and microprinting, as well as a magnetic strip that carries information about the ID holder. Rob Neff, neighborhood resource officer for the Lawrence Police Department, said that fake IDs will often lack one or more of these elements.
At the local liquor store Cork and Barrel, employees look at facial features, like the eyebrows and nose, to determine if a license is legitimate. They also have a book with information on IDs from other states, as students frequently use IDs from places other than Kansas.
The fall semester brings new students and a new batch of fake IDs, said Cork and Barrel general manager Brendan Dowdle. Using or having a fake ID can carry heavy penalties.
If violators are caught, police officers can decide to take fake IDs and/or write citations for them. They will generally cite the violation, which is known as unlawful use of a driver's license, said Neff. The perpetrator then has to go to municipal court where they can be charged $300 to $1000 and face six months in jail.
But for many students, fake IDs have been and will likely continue to be a part of the college experience.

Bust a move with the dance department
Dance at the University of Kansas isn't just for dance majors. The department of dance and an array of student organizations provide opportunities to learn everything from ballroom to hip hop and master Dance Dance Revolution.
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
"We have something for everyone," said Michelle Heffner Hayes, chair of the department of dance. "We serve the University at large. There are students who just want to dance as part of their experience at the University and they have never had the opportunity to dance before and they have zero dance experience. We have beginning level dance courses."

Students can also receive credit for dancing outside of the dance department. The department of health, sport and exercise science offers a basic skill in Dance Dance Revolution class. Last year, that class inspired several students to
Rebecca Cannon, a senior from Topeka and the club's treasurer, said the group has about 15 members that come to play every Wednesday night on the first floor of the Kansan Union. Players of all skill levels are welcome to come and dance to any of the 1,500 songs the club has accumulated.
"I don't like dance." Cannon said. "I'm just a fan of rhythm games. It's more of a challenge aspect."
For more traditional dancers, ballroom dance is taught in several different clubs and organizations, including KU DanceSport, which is sponsored by Recreation Services. DanceSport offers students the opportunity to learn the cha-cha, salsa, and jive, among many other dances, from a professional instructor. Members can come for fun or train for collegiate ballroom dance competitions, said Guide Rungamornchai, DanceSport's president and a senior from Bangkok.
"Half of them already have experience and would want to compete, the other half just want to learn ballroom." Rungamornchai said "Our club offers both social dancing and competition."
DEMONS HONORE
Competition is also a crucial part of KU Jeeva's mission. Jeeva is a South Asian dance club that fuses together styles from India with western styles, like hip hop, said Deep Singh, a senior from Gardner and the team's captain.
Jeeva won "KU's Best Dance Crew" twice in the past three years and plans on competing at the national level this year. The team is also moving beyond competitions by teaching their dances to students and faculty. They are offering a free session on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. at the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
"Dancing is like speaking a language, Singh said. "Just because
Singh hopes the sessions add to the University's already-diverse dance scene.
--you know one style doesn't mean you can know and understand them all. The only way to appreciate any
style is to try it."

Senate makes preparations for new academic year

Transparency and availability: That was the focus for student senate members at the Legislative Training Seminar on Wednesday, the first meeting of the academic year.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, welcomed members with a detailed history of the 102-year-old legacy of Student Senate at the University and thanked the staff for accepting their positions.
"You have a voice that is different than anyone else."
"You have a voice that is different than anyone else." Roney said. "Don't let things go on without your involvement."
"Look at how worn the brass handles are on the doors to the Union and be reminded of how many people, how many senators, have walked through those doors," Roney said.
Executive Secretary Alek Joyce, a sophomore from Lawrence majoring in political science and journalism, said the remainder of the training session was to inform and refresh senators on the duties of being a senator.

Vice President Gabe Bliss, a junior from Olathe majoring in civil engineering, wants to change the current image of student senate from merely a funding entity to an organization that is seen as having the ability to make an impact on campus and in the surrounding community.
"We want to get things done fast with student input," Bliss said. "To be effective we need to make changes that stay as changes."

A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit.

Pick, Webb will work together
The Kansas football team will start a new tradition on Saturday after a bronze Jayhawk statue was installed Thursday.
Players will run out of the locker room at the Anderson Family Football Complex and rub the Jayhawk's beak as they run onto Kivisto Field.
This will be similar to Notre Dame's tradition of hitting the sign, "Play Like A Champion Today," inside the locker room or Clemson's rubbing of "Howard's Rock" as the team runs down the hill on the east side of Clemson Memorial Stadium.
The four-foot-high, 700-pound statue sits atop a two-ton, 40-inch-high base that faces north in the southwest corner outside of Memorial Stadium.
A Kansas Athletics release billed the statue as a picturesque location for students, parents and alumni to visit and pose during events like commencement. When viewing the Jayhawk from its west side, campus icons like the Campanile and Fraser Hall serve as a backdrop.
The statue, created by sculptor John Free of Pawhuska, Okla., is accessible to the tailgating areas on the hill, according to Athletics.

One year ago, Kale Pick started at quarterback in the opening game of Kansas' 2011 football season. On Saturday Kale Pick will be playing, not at quarterback, but at a position that he had never played before late last season — wide receiver.
His good friend Jordan Webb took the starting job in his place. Pick could have sulked; he didn't. He could have held a grudge against Webb; he didn't. Instead he worked hard to switch positions and did so seamlessly.
"Kale has really emerged, and he's hungry for it," offensive coordinator Chuck Long said. "He went from quarterback to receiver and didn't even miss a beat. Some guys sulk for a while and say 'woe is me, I want to be a quarterback,' but he took to it right away and its shown out there." On a team that
has so many young players in such heavy competition for playing time, this relationship provides a template for how to carry oneself as a teammate, and how important it is to have a team-first mentality.
"I think it set an example for this team. I know offensively it has." Long said. "It's not being selfish, it's being hey, I'm going to help this team. Those guys have kept the same relationships as quarterback and now they have the same one as receiver."
The two former competitors remain good friends, and the struggle of last season has only brought them together.
"We're both big time competitors, we both like to compete and I think that brought us even closer," Pick said. "Going through what we all went through last year, we both went through some adversity, so, we've both been through that, were both competitors, and we have similar personalities, so I think that's why we're close."
The Pick-Webb relationship will be key on the field Saturday, as the Jayhawks try to avenge one of the most embarrassing moments in program history, the 6-3 loss to

COMMENTARY
No conference bind for Kansas, K-State
The conference realignment story facinates me. It's a big headache, but it's interesting to read the rumors of what schools are going where or what schools are talking to which conference.
When Texas A&M announced its desire to withdraw from the Big 12, it was a nice coincidence because Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little paid a visit to the Kansan newsroom to talk to campus media on Thursday.
By Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com
I asked her about the rumors surrounding the Kansas Board of Regents requiring Kansas and Kansas State to remain attached if the two were to move conferences, to which, she responded that the rumors aren't true and that Kansas and Kansas State could be in different conferences. The Board of Regents doesn't have a law or a
She did say that it would be in the best interest of Kansas to remain a member of the Big 12 with Kansas State.
I'm over the talk of Texas A&M and the Southeastern Conference. While the SEC hasn't extended an offer, I assume it eventually will add Texas A&M as the 13th team and will add a 14th team from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Missouri has also been rumored to be that 14th school.
Finally, there's truth.
Those talks may be nullified if Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech flee to what would be called the Pac-16.
Immediately after the announcement, Brigham Young was said to be in talks with the Big 12 about joining the conference. BYU left the Mountain West to join the West Coast Conference, but is independent for football.
This is not what Kansas wants to hear.
If the Big 12 does indeed fold, and four 16-team superconferences come to life, it would be in Kansas' best interest to ditch Kansas State. This will make Kansas State upset, but Kansas needs to look
That leaves the Big 12 with Kansas, Missouri, Kansas State, Baylor and Iowa State.
after itself first.
After Gray-Little talked with members of the Kansan, I sent out a tweet that was retested by members of national media outlets.
While Missouri has been rumored to be a possible member for the SEC, I think Kansas is a more attractive school. It isn't a football powerhouse like the rest of the SEC, but it wins in basketball and competes year in and year out.
I've always thought that Kansas State was the reason Kansas wasn't being looked at by the SEC or the Big Ten, and now that Gray-Little debunked the myth, I would think Kansas' phones would start ringing more.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."
"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support." Loats said.
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.

AT A GLANCE
Failure is not an option for Kansas in Week One against an Football Championship Series opponent. After suffering a loss to North Dakota State in the season opener one year ago, the Jayhawks will not be taking McNeese State lightly. With a tough schedule ahead of them, games in which the Jayhawks are favored will be rare. Coach Turner Gill needs to win this one to ensure that his second season will be better than the first.

The weakest group of starters for the Jayhawks, on paper, have been questioned the entire offseason for their abilities. With McNeese State running a pro-style attack, there will be many runs up the middle and at the defensive line. The Jayhawks start two juniors and two sophomores who, for the most part, have little game experience. Junior defensive end Toben Opurum will be the key to the group, as his superior athleticism from his running back days could carry over to wreak havoc in the Cowboys backfield.

The Jayawhak take care of their business and put away McNeese State. If the team can avoid the little mistakes that made them look clueless at times last year, they can restore some faith to a fan base that sat through a long and rough season last year.

BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
P
The Cowboys blitz causes enough confusion to disrupt the Jayhawks offense. If the Jayhawks offense can't get rolling, it could be a long day in Memorial Stadium, similar to last season's fiasco against North Dakota State.
MOMENTUM
McNeese state is ranked 20th in the FCS coach's poll heading into the season. They are picked to win the Southland conference along with defending SLC champ Stephen F. Austin University. This is the Cowboy's best opportunity to make waves against a Bowl Championship Series opponent.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2011
AT A GLANCE
McNeese State returns only eight starters from last year's squad that finished second in the Southland Conference, yet enter the season ranked 20th in the Football Championship Subdivision rankings. Coach Matt Viator has led the Cowboys to winning seasons in each of the past five years, and has never finished below second in the conference during that stretch, while winning three titles.
The Cowboys are more talented than the North Dakota State team that spoiled Turner Gill's debut last season. Even so, the talent levels of the two teams are nowhere near equal and Kansas should win the home opener for the first time under Gill.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior running back Andre Anderson. Anderson is a transfer from Michigan State and earned Southland Conference Newcomer of the year award for his 2010 campaign when

he rushed for 855 yards and five touchdowns despite starting only four games. Anderson's season also earned him All-Southland Conference and Team MVP awards.
Anderson is an explosive runner who, if left uncontained by the Jayhawks defense, could cause the team headaches. Anderson was also tied for second on the team in receptions, catching 21 balls for 185 yards.

SPECIAL TEAMS
The Cowboys are experienced on special teams as they return All-SLC kicker Josh Lewis and senior punter Ben Bourgeois. Lewis converted 13 of his 16 field goal attempts last season
and 26 of his 29 PATs. Lewis was named Preasonal AI-SLC for 2011.
QUESTION MARKS

-
Can McNeese State translate the success they've had against conference fees into success against onponents from BCS conferences?
Last season McNeese faced off against two teams from BCS conferences, Missouri and LSU, and lost both games. The Cowboys got throttled at Missouri, losing 50-6, and lost by a much more manageable haint against LSU, falling 82-10. This is one of the best chances McNeese may have in avail at knocking off a team from a BCS conference, as the Jayhawks' loss against FOS North Dakota State still tugs in the back of the minds of Jayhawk faithful.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard. Wesco beach and Potter Lake.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
— Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."

Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.

prowess, I will watch it, learn about it, and discuss it (except for cricket, I'm still trying to figure that one out). Last weekend I found myself watching some of the Track and Field World Championships. It got me pumped for the 2012 summer Olympics in London, but bummed because it would still be another two years before I get to watch my favorite Olympics, the winter games.
If I could achieve any athletic feat, of course I'd want a championship ring. And it would be awesome to have my name etched onto the Stanley Cup.
But to win an Olympic medal, especially gold, would be something I could carry with me. To know that at one time I was better
29
su
th
a
than everyone IN THE WORLD, even if it was at something extremely specialized.
I can't explain exactly why I prefer the winter games to the summer. Maybe it was watching Tommy Moe win the downhill gold at the '94 games, maybe it was hearing stories of the 1980 Miracle on Ice game growing up, but for some reason I do.
Specifically, I have two favorite parts of the winter games.
The first is curling. What other Olympic sport can you watch and say to yourself, "Hey, I can do that"? Curling is a sport for the out-of-shape. I know it takes skill, but it is the real life version of the movie BASEketball, a sport where 40-year-olds with bad backs and knees can compete with guys half their age who are all 'roiled up. As pathetic as it sounds, I think I would even play a curling video game. I fell in love with curling during the 2002 Salt Lake games. I was in sixth grade, home with the flu, and I spent my days watching curling. It was much better than school.
The other thing that puts the winter games over the summer games is the hockey tournament. As fun as it is watching the best players in the NBA dominate every
game in the summer Olympics, its always more compelling to root for the underdog. And in hockey, the USA is just that.
Canada has Crosby, Russia has Ovechkin, but the US has something better than one of the top two players in hockey — we have heart. And in 2010, we showed it by taking the Canadian team to overtime on the back of outstanding goalheading by Ryan Miller. In the end, Canada won, but I had never seen more interest in hockey than after that tournament.
But what really makes the Olympics special is that they only happen every four years, so I have to wait as the anticipation builds.

while 11 of the top 40 players will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whoooped" more often than not.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.

"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to
work to achieve it. That was my goal, to come in and start, but I guess I wasn't expecting it so soon."
"That is a tough call," Bechard said. "You need to kind of get a sense for where you think their progress will be within the first month and this is a kid that can help us by mid-
Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it is one she said she plans on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.
.
Albers had an impressive first start on Saturday morning, recording six kills in the sweep against Liberty. She may have ensured her spot as a starter through a decorated high school career at Papillion LaVista, where she notched a state-leading 487 kills in 2009 was named the Omaha World-Herald's Girl's 2010-11 Athlete of the Year her senior season.
training in Italy, the freshmen were not permitted to tag along. Still, the upperclassmen have tried to make the Nebraska' natives feel at home, Albers said.
"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.
"Growing up in Nebraska, I think it gave us a huge advantage," McClinton said. "High school volley-

North Dakota State. A loss that both players played a role in.
When a play breaks down and Webb is forced to scramble, the chemistry between the two might make the difference between a sack, a ball thrown away, and a 5-, 10-, or 15-yard completion to keep the drive alive.
"We think a lot alike", Pick said. "We're usually on the same page when I'm running a route. If they're in a certain coverage, I break a route off, and he has that feeling to throw the ball right before I break. It just helps our timing and helps our style of play."
Pick and Webb's situation is a familiar one, as Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier went through an eerily similar situation in 2007.
The relationship between Reesing
and Meier launched Kansas to new heights, winning the school's first Orange Bowl and setting numerous offensive records. When a play would break down, and it often did with Reesing, Meier would find a hole in the defense and Reesing would get him the ball.
Long said that Kansas receivers coach David Beatty made the comparison of Pick to Meier as well and that he thinks it's a good one. Beaty was at Kansas when Meier first made the transition to receiver from quarterback. Once again Beaty gets to watch this unselfish transition first-hand. "It's like having a quarterback at that position," Beaty said.

Kentucky survives close opener
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Josh Clemons scored on a 14- yard touchdown run, and Morgan Newton shook off three interceptions in throwing a 31-yard TD pass to LaRod King in helping the Wildcats beat Western Kentucky 14-3 on Thursday night.
Kentucky had only 75 yards total offense through the first three quarters before Newton drove them 80 yards late in the fourth to put away the victory. The Southeastern Conference team handed Western Kentucky its 16th straight team. The Hilltoppers were the home team in this game played at the home of the
NFL's Tennessee Titans.
Winston Guy had an interception that set up Clemons' TD run on a night when the Wildcats struggled with at least six three-and-outs on offense. They struggled to beat a team they routed 63-28 last season with backups getting plenty of playing time.
Kentucky had six starters back, including four on the offensive line, from a team that reached a fifth straight bowl last season. It didn't help as the Wildcats' line got pushed around all night. Kentucky struggled to get its offense going early with Newton settling in at quarterback with the departure of Mike Hartline.
The Hilltoppers also sacked Newton three times, and the Kentucky quarterback had at least three passes dropped by receivers.
But the Wildcats led 7-3 at half-time despite being outgained 101-35 in total offense and 234-190 for the game.
Newton got going just in time, shaking off two interceptions in the fourth quarter, the last with 9:40 left and Kentucky driving. Newton's pass bounced off an official's left arm and Wildcats guard Stuart Hines before going to Western Kentucky defensive end Jared Clendenin.

Green Bay roughs up Cassel,Chiefs
Chiefs fall to Packers in 20-19 loss during the last preseason game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sooto, an undrafted free agent out of BYU who ended up in Green Bay after his wife chose among multiple NFL offers, returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown. He had 1½ sacks and a forced fumble.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — With most of the Super Bowl champions' marquee players on the sideline, outside linebacker Vic Soto likely sealed up his roster spot in the Green Bay Packers' 20-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Thursday night's preseason finale.
Packers defensive lineman Howard Green, a 340-pounder, gave the Chiefs a scare when he landed directly on top of starting quarterback Matt Cassel.
Aaron Rodgers played just one series for the Packers,throwing an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tom Crabtree.
The Chiefs pulled Cassel after the big hit but kept many of their starters in the game into the fourth quarter. Kicker Ryan Succop missed a 56-yard attempt at the end of the game for Kansas City (0-4).
Meanwhile, several Packers veterans didn't suit up — and the
night belonged to Sooth.
Soto, who recently said he came to the Packers after his wife chose among offers from Green Bay, Arizona and Miami, already seemed likely to make the roster with a surprising performance in training camp. Thursday's game might have been all he needed — and then some.
With the Chiefs facing third- and 6 on their first possession, Sooto shed his block and sacked Cassel. He made another big play with the Chiefs driving on their second possession, forcing a fumble by Jamaal Charles.
So'oto made his biggest play in
the third quarter, dropping into coverage and picking off a pass by Tyler Palko and rumbling into the end zone to give Green Bay a 20-16 lead. So'ohto then did a "Lambeau Leap" into the stands.
It probably won't be his last. Meanwhile, pass protection has been an issue for the Packers in the preseason, and Thursday brought more of the same — this time from the backups.
With the Packers' offense backed up near its own end zone after a holding penalty on Ray Dominguez, center Nick McDonald snapped a ball over the
head of backup quarterback Matt Flynn. He got the ball back but was tackled by defensive lineman Allen Bailey for a safety.
Although Cassel left the game after he took the hard hit from Green, Kansas City continued to play its offensive starters. Both their first-half touchdown drives came against Packers backups.
The Chiefs went out of their way to get their first-team offense one last tuneup, even trying a fake punt and onside kick in the first half. The fake punt worked, continuing a drive that ended with Cassel throwing a 10-yard touchdown to Dexter McCluster. With time running out in the first half, Palko threw a 2-yard pass to Dwayne Bowe on 4th down. The call was upheld on a replay review.
While the Chiefs played most of their front-line players, the Packers rested plenty of players Thursday. Cornerback Charles Woodson, safety Nick Collins, linebacker A.J. Hawk, outside linebacker Clay Matthews, tight end Jermichael Finley and wide receivers Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson and James Jones were among the Packers who did not play.

"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote. "From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
- Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provest for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support," Loats said.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wd like to be able to provide more support for students."

Syracuse rallies in OT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Van Chew made a diving 4-yard touchdown catch in the left flat at the goal line on the first series of overtime, and Syracuse rallied past Wake Forest 36-29 on Thursday night in the season-opener for both teams.
The Demon Deacons got the ball one last time, but the Syracuse defense held for one of the few times on the night and forced a fourth-down incompletion from the 19 from Ted Stachitas to Chris Givens in the right corner of the end zone.
Kevyn Scott appeared to secure the victory for Syracuse when he made a diving interception over the middle at the Wake Forest 32 with just over 5 minutes remaining and the game tied at 29-all. But Ross Krautman, who had made a school-record 16 straight field goals, had his 32-yard attempt blocked by Kyle Wilber with just under 3 minutes to go in regulation.
It was a breakthrough of sorts for the Orange. Syracuse's last win over a Football Bowl Subdivision team in the Carrier Dome was a 31-13 upset of Rutgers in November 2009. Syracuse was 0-4 last season against FBS teams in the Dome and hasn't had a winning season overall at home
since it went 4-1 in 2004.
Wake Forest, which lost starting quarterback Tanner Price to an injury early in the fourth quarter, couldn't mount a threat behind backup Ted Stachita. Price was 18 of 31 for 289 yards and three touchdowns.
The Orange had rallied furiously after trailing 29-14 early in the fourth quarter.
After Jimmy Newman's 40-yard field goal gave Wake Forest a 15-point lead with 11:02 left, Syracuse's Antwon Bailey scored on a 53-yard run around the left side and quarterback Ryan Nassib hit fullback Adam Harris for a 2-yard score with 8:26 left.
Price hit Chris Givens on scores of 60 and 22 yards, and had a pretty 16-yarder on a third-and-goal play to Michael Camapanaro.
The defense was supposed to be the weak link for the Orange with a veteran offense returning. It was until the end, and so was the offense until it finally got untracked late against Wake's 3-4 spread.
Nassib was 12 of 20 for 85 yards passing through three quarters and finished 20 of 28 for 178 for the Orange.
The Syracuse defense, which lost its heart with the graduation of linebackers Derrell Smith and Doug Hogue, missed too many tackles and never mounted any kind of pressure on Price, and he repeatedly made them pay. Price had 12 completions of 13 yards or more.
Free safety Phillip Thomas was burned twice by Givens on long passes. Givens hauled in a 37-yard pass in the first quarter to help set up jimmy Newman's 38-yield field goal, his 13th straight conversion. Givens then blew past Thomas again on the right side and caught a 60-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage after Syracuse had scored its first touchdown.
The Demon Deacons scored again on their final possession of the first half when the Orange were unable to stop a third-and-goal play from the 16 and just over 2 minutes to play.
The Orange offense finally got going when Nassib hit tight end Nick Provo over the middle at the Wake Forest 15. Provo broke a tackle by linebacker Riley Haynes and rumbled into the end zone for a 7-6 lead with 9:29 left in the first half.
In the first half, Syracuse gained just 52 yards on 22 plays offensively, and its defense was torched for 258 yards on 45 plays.

Locker impressive as Titans dominate
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Titans' first-round pick, who is expected to press Matt Hasselbeck for the starting job at some point this season, completed 15 of 17 for 132 yards and a touchdown. He had a 118.6 quarterback rating, playing just over three quarters. Locker also ran 22 yards to score.
Tennessee's rookie quarterback jake Locker added a bit of sparkle to an otherwise lackluster game Thursday night, leading the Titans to a 32-9 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Saints backup QB Chase Daniel was not as impressive, completing 29 of 39 for 249 yards. He was sacked twice. His only 20 drive came in the fourth quarter when Montez Billings capped a 66-yard drive with a 2-yard reception.
The Titans' defense scored first as defensive tackle Karl Klug chased Daniel into the end zone and sacked him for a safety. It was the first safety New Orleans allowed since the second regular-season game of 2009, the Saints' Super Bowl season.
Ron Bironas added the first of his three field goals, a 32-yarder to put
Tennessee up 5-0 going into the second quarter.
Tennessee stretched its lead to 22-0 at the half with Locker's 22-yard scramble, a 47-yard field goal, and a 12-yard touchdown reception by Lavelle Hawkins.
Bironas had a 41-yarder in the third quarter that made it 25-0.
The final preseason game for both teams was a battle of the backups. The Titans briefly played 10 of their regular starters, including quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who took nine snaps, and five defensive starters.
Damian Williams returned a punt 52 yards in the fourth quarter for a touchdown that closed out Tennessee's scoring.
Tennessee agreed to a $56 million, six-year deal with starting running back Chris Johnson earlier Thursday. He will be a welcome addition for the regular season. Six Titans runners churned out 118 yards against the Saints, and the only TD rushing was Locker's.
New Orleans had one offensive starter in early and seven defensive starters played for a short time.

McIlroy swings back
Nick Dougherty shot an 8-under 63 Thursday to lead Rory McIlroy by two shots after the first round of the European Masters.
The Englishman had eight birdies in a bogey-free round, while McLroy had five birdies in his first eight holes. It's McLroy's first tournament since injuring his right wrist three weeks ago.
"It's totally fine," McIlroy said. "I'm able to hit all the shots I want to and not lose any distance."
Martin Kaymeyer, Lee Sung and Gary Boyd also were two shots behind the leader. Kaymeter had seven birdies and just one bogey.
McLroy showed no ill effects from the injury he sustained after hitting a tree root during the PGA Championship. He spent two weeks spent recuperating in the United States with his girlfriend, top-ranked tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
said McIlroy, the U.S. Open winner who could rise to No. 3 in the rankings with a victory. "I'm sixth and I want to get higher."
Mclroy's steady round took off with birdie putts of 3 feet and 20 feet at No. 2 and No. 3. His only blemish was a 5 at the fourth hole after hooking his tee shot into trees. But he recovered with a 12-footer on the next hole, then made a 14-foot, downhill putt for birdie at the sixth.
"It's a great way to start the week,"
Second-ranked Lee Westwood and British winner Darren Clarke were in a group of six players at 4 under. Westwood's adventurous round included two eagles and a double bongee. He missed short par-saving putts at each of the final two holes.
Kaymer made a sensational a 40-foot putt for birdie at the short eighth hole, then finished with a birdie at No.9.
Dougherty has missed the cut at 21 straight events and has no earnings on the European Tour money list.
white, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.

It was a memorable weekend for Kansas women's soccer. The team skyrocketed onto the national college soccer landscape after defeating two highly ranked opponents, San Diego and Southern California, at the USD tournament.
"Even if we're tired, even if we're
sore, we know that we can come out with two wins. We now know we can do that," Sarah Robbins said, a junior midfielder from Montreal, Quebec. "We knew we were good enough to win. We knew we had the talent. It was just putting in that last little effort and it really paid off for us."

"Going into this weekend, the biggest mistake we can make would be to assume that they're not going to be as strong as the teams we played." Robbins said.
Missouri State comes into Fridays game with a 2-1 record, including a win over SEC opponent Vanderbilt. The Jayhawks played the Bears last season and won 2-0.
South Dakota State has struggled out of the gate thus far, but is still another quality opponent who finished last year with a winning record.
"They're going to fight for it," Lie-
betrau said. "Right now, they know we're doing well and they're going to come into the game pumped up and ready to beat us."

white, 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.

"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Behard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Buldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.

"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season.

MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team will look to extend its perfect start to the season today and Saturday against three mid-major schools as part of the annual lajvawk Invitational.
The action kicks off today at noon against the Atlantic Conference's Belmont Bruins (2-2) at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. Coach Ray Bechard said his team will not take the opponents lightly.
"All, I think, have a great chance to win their leagues," Bechard said. "They might be considered mid-major schools from the standpoint of the BCS scenario, but they are very, very competitive Division I volleyball programs."
After playing Belmont, the layhawks (3-0) will return to the court tonight at 7 p.m. against Appalachian State (3-1) out of the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers got a surprising victory in their season opener against North Carolina State behind a 31-kill performance from senior Anna Wagner.
"They're not afraid to come in and play a school from the Big 12?" Bechard said. "So we'll have to play well if we want to have success against all three of them."
The team wraps up the invitational on Saturday at 1 p.m. against South Dakota State (3-1) from the Summit League. Like the Layhawks, the Jacks opened their season in Georgia, recording back-to-back wins against Montana State and Georgia Southern in the Georgia Southern Invitational last weekend.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks swept all three of their games in the Georgia Bulldog Invitational. Bechard said he is interested to see how his team will respond to the adversity of losing its first set.
"I guess we'll see when that happens," Bechard said. "Obviously that could very well happen this weekend, more than once. Our response will be interesting, but you take the information from whatever happened during that set and you try to make adjustments and see if you can make some things happen on the positive side."
Freshman outside hitter Chelsea Albers thinks the team will rebound well from the eventual first lost set.
"I think we'll be devastated at first because we've been working really hard in practice," Albers said. "But I think we'll overcome it fast knowing we'll find out our weaknesses to overcome it, and that will help us build so
we can learn from it"
While the Jayhawks have yet to drop a set through three games, Bechard said he still sees numerous areas needing improvement. He said the team gave up too many service aces and had a few player rotations that were below his goals, statistically speaking, but that he was pleased with how his team responded in practice this week.
"We had some success last weekend, but the goal was to identify some things that we didn't do so well as we hoped to, and get back at it," Bechard said. "I felt like we've come in with some good energy and good attentiveness, so we're excited about that."
Albers and fellow freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton started both victories last Saturday. Their cohesiveness was a relief to McClinton, who said she was unsure how the two inexperienced players would work together on the court.
"Thursday and we get some pretty familiar confines with Horejsi," Bechard said.
"I was a little unsure how Chelsea and I would be able to mix in right away with the team," McClinton said. "We could do it during practice, but putting us into a game situation and being able to handle it as freshmen, I was unsure about that. But we ended up pulling through and our teammates were there to support us."

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wesco beach and Peter Lake.
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing Wi-Fi internet access.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"It's terrible." Erickson wrote.
"From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The group's report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
— Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provest for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
"It brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support." Loats said.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."

COMMENTARY
Gill to show faith in starting players
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/themattgalloway
a
As tempting as it may be for impatient Jayhawk fans to label tomorrow's game against McNeeese State a must-win for the Kansas coaching staff, that simply isn't the case. Sure, another season-opening loss to a Football Championship Series opponent would cripple this season's outlook and likely ensure empty seats at Memorial Stadium for the foreseeable future. But Turner Gill's leash is not as short as that of some other coaches' leading programs at Kansas.
With only one full season under his belt, Gill still has some wiggle room and some time to blame failures on growing pains and the inexperience of his recruiting classes. Gill and his coaching staff will not be immune from criticism of on-field decisions, but to say the second-year coach is on the hot seat is a stretch
Turner Gill cannot afford to play musical quarterbacks again this season.
However, there is one big no-no that the former Nebraska quarterback must avoid if he wants to protect the long-term prospects of this team.
When sophomore Jordan Webb was named the starting quarterback on Aug. 19, Gill had nothing but praise for the Union, Mo., native. Gill told the Kansan that Webb was "definitely ahead of everybody from start to finish," going so far as to call him "our guv"
poise.
These words should provide no comfort to Webb. They certainly did not provide any for Kale Pick.
Pick, a junior wide receiver, was named the starter when he was still a sophomore quarterback exactly one year to the day prior to Gill calling Webb his guy. At a media session on Aug. 19, 2010, Gill gave Pick a vote of confidence, saying he earned the position and separated himself from the pack in terms of ball security and
Less than one full game into the regular season, Gill yanked Pick for Webb in the now infamous 6-3 loss to North Dakota State. He would name Webb the team's new starter four days later on Sept. 8.
TO LISTEN TO SPORTS WRITERS HOST A PODCAST ON TOMORROW'S FOOTBALL GAME go to www.kansan.com
The quarterback shenanigans did not end there. Gill randomly yanked Webb for Pick in an early series against against Georgia Tech. He opted to first use wide receiver D.J. Beshears as quarterback instead of backup Quinn Mecham when Webb got injured against Texas A&M. He benched Mecham for Webb during the game against Oklahoma State just two weeks after Mecham led the Jayhawks to their biggest comeback in school history against Colorado on Nov. 6. That benching also came two weeks after offensive coordinator Chuck Long told the Kansan that Mecham was "as unfloppable a quarterback as I've ever coached."
By season's end, three quarterbacks backs at least 35 passes, each posting similar completion percentages of 56.5 to 59.8 percent. Was the elaborate game of pigskin hot potato worth it?
The problem isn't Gill or Long's ability to coach quarterbacks. Gill was the quarterback's coach at Nebraska when Eric Crouch won the Heisman Trophy, and Long was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma when Jason White won the same award. Rather, the problem is their dedication to the decisions they make in the week leading up to the game. Gill needs to show more faith in his decision-making abilities this season, and he can do so by unconditionally giving Webb at least half the season to prove his worth, no questions asked.
After all, not everyone makes a good first impression. There once was a quarterback who threw up on his coach while his team was being blown out by Nebraska in his first career start.
That quarterback was Chuck Long. He would go on to finish second in the Heisman Trophy voting and would be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.

University to institute wireless improvements
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
As students settle in for the new academic year, the University of Kansas' department of Information and Technology is busy improving services and telecommunication around campus.
After meeting with student body President Libby Johnson and Vice President Gabe Bliss, University IT began a project to expand wireless internet to frequently used areas of campus. The wireless expansion, which will continue throughout the fall semester, will eventually reach areas including Jayhawk Boulevard, Wescoe beach and Potter Lake.
However, as IT expands wireless to new areas of campus, some students have expressed concerns about the University's existing WiFi internet access.
Ann Erickson, a senior from Tonganoxie, replied to a University Daily Kansan inquiry on student wireless experience so far this year.
"It's terrible," Erickson wrote.
"From experience, it only works in certain areas and even then it's slow and cuts out."
Patrick Henke, a senior from Olathe, expressed similar concerns about KU's wireless reliability.
"We have problems in our room where it cuts in and out," Henke said.
In an effort to provide better service and more efficient technology support, University IT hired the Huron Consulting Group Inc., to review its technology services around campus in the summer of 2010. The groups report outlined that:
The University is behind the curve in terms of supporting technology-enhanced teaching in the classroom.
- Classroom standards have not been set, resulting in variable capabilities.
Overall need for more consistent consulting-level support for faculty and students related to technologies.
Following Huron's recommendations, the University's Instructional Development Services (IDS) merged its operations with the IT department, taking effect last spring.
In an email notifying University deans, directors and department chairs of the new changes, Diane Goddard, Vice Provost for Administration and Finance, wrote that: "By fall 2011, we hope that the plan for increased academic technology support will be well on its way to filling the gap at KU."
Julie Loats, director of Enterprise Applications and Services for University IT, said that the merger of University IT and IDS will help
Loats said that University IT hopes to further its service efforts by offering Blackboard technology support to students.
it brings all of those staff together so it can be a more focused and holistic approach to classroom support," Loats said.
"One of the things we heard last spring loud and clear was that students didn't feel they had a place to go if they needed help with blackboard," Loats said. "With this merger wed like to be able to provide more support for students."

while 11 of the top 40 recruits will be playing football in Austin, Texas this season.
A&M is making a move that will put them in the lower echelon of the top football conference instead of remaining in the upper echelon of one of the top conferences (albeit a very unstable one).
So now it's the Big 12's turn, as they can say goodbye to Texas A&M. You can be sure they will take pleasure in watching them get "whooped" more often than not.
Quite simply, this is Texas A&M giving the finger to Texas for being better than them in nearly every way, shape and form. Instead of beating the Longhorns head-to-head, they decided losing more games in a better conference would be the proper form of revenge.

Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers may each be in their first season with the Jayhawks, but coach Ray Bechard is counting on both of them to contribute, and contribute early. McClinton started all three of the team's victories in the season-opening Georgia Bulldog Invitational over the weekend, and Albers started both of the Saturday sweeps.
"We're going to put the best six out there, and sometimes that's a bit of a stretch," for freshmen to do that," Bechard said. "But we have a bunch of confidence in both of those young ladies."
McClinton finished the weekend with 11 kills, including seven in the finale against Georgia. To secure her role as a starter for the season's first three games, McClinton had to play catch-up with the upperclassmen who stayed over the summer.
"I knew we had a good opportunity to compete with some of the upperclassmen for the spots, but you can't come in and expect to start," McClinton said. "You have to
work to retrieve it. That was my goal, to come in and start, but I guess I wasn't expecting it so soon."
Starting so early is an unexpected perk for Albers, but it one she said she plans on working hard to maintain. Both freshmen had to work hard just to avoid being redshirted by Bechard, who said the decision to sit and develop a player for a year is a difficult one.
work to achieve
Albers had an impressive first start on Saturday morning, recording six kills in the sweep against Liberty. She may have ensured her spot as a starter through a decorated high school career at Papillion LaVista, where she notched a state-leading 487 kills in 2009 was named the Omaha World-Herald's Girl's 2010-11 Athlete of the Year her senior season.
"That is a tough call," Bechard said. "You need to kind of get a sense for where you think his progress will be within the first month and if this is a kid that can help us by mid-
training in Italy, the resumes were not permitted to tag along. Still, the upperclassmen have tried to make the Nebraska' natives feel at home, Albers said.
"They have worked hard to include us and not make us feel like freshmen," Albers said. "Speaking for myself, I feel like they treat us like volleyball players and not by our age."
Since Bechard was hired as the coach of the volleyball team 14 years ago, he has had a player from Nebraska on his roster every season. Albers and McClinton first met as opponents in the state's notoriously competitive high school volleyball circuit. They would later come to know each other better as teammates at the even more competitive club level.
"Growing up in Nebraska, I think it gave us a huge advantage," McClinton said. "High school volley

Friends rode together and stay together

Skipton, a 23 year-old former University student, was killed while riding his motorcycle in an accident at Iowa and University Streets at about 6 p.m. Wednesday. Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said Skipton's black Yamaha sport bike was heading north on Iowa when it collided with a southbound van. Police found Skipton dead at the scene, and there were no other injuries.
Lacey Henry, a friend and former roommate of Skipton, said the motorcycle club has been a source of support for everyone affected.
"Not a lot of people understand it, it's really hard to explain to your family," Henry said of Skipton. "When he first died, when we first got news of it, we all got together at someone's house and it was just like one of those moments. Everybody just knows him and everyone
understands."
Skipton worked at Brigg's Auto and had attended Kansas State University before coming to the University. He was also a member of a motorcycle club in Garden City. His friend Dianna Morrissey, who is applying to the University's nursing school, said she thought Skipton would be proud of the way the Lawrence club has stayed together.
"We call each other, we text each other, Morrissey said. "Some people that really didn't talk before outside of the group are friends now. We hang out. Everybody in this group cares about everybody, and it's such a tragic thing to have happen to bring us closer together,

Advice to Drivers
Look out for the motorcyclist at intersections and when making a left turn.
Give the motorcyclist a full lane of travel.
- Clearly signal your intentions.
- Anticipate a motorcyclist's maneuver to avoid obstructions that are minimal to your vehicle but may be deadly for a motorcyclist.
Do not follow a motorcyclist too closely.
Be aware of blind spots. Window/door frames can block your view of a motorcycle.

Football legend died hours before season opener
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Former Kansas football coach and player Don Fambrough died at the age of 88 after a fall near his residence in Lawrence, according to the Kansas Athletics Department.
Fambrough played or coached in five of the nine bowl games Kansas has participated in. As a coach, he led Kansas to a 37-48-5 record in eight seasons. As a guard, Fambrough earned All Big Six honors in 1946 and 1947. Fambrough's 1947 team qualified to play in the Orange Bowl.
Coach Turner Gill said he only told a handful of guys before Saturday's game because he wasn't sure if telling the team was the best thing to do before a football game.
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson didn't find out about
Fambrough's death until the moment of silence held for him before the game.
"When I did find out, I was kind of shocked," Johnson said. "I dedicated that game to him. I played with a lot of passion, and that's probably how hed want his team to play."
In Fanbrough's post-coaching days, he has been known for his pre-game speeches to the team before Missouri games.
Senior tight end Tim Biere shared memories of Fambrough's pre-game speech after Saturday's game.
"Before the Missouri game he came and talked to us. I was warned by the older guys that it gets pretty intense, and I didn't believe it," Biere said. "He got up there and started swearing

LEAVENWORTH KANSAS
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — The director of emergency management in Leavenworth County says flooding this summer will cost public entities in the county at least $4.5 million.
Chuck Magaha says the total costs are expected to increase as the floodwaters recede and more damage becomes apparent.
The Leavenworth Times reports (http://bit./yPsYTKs) that the $4.5 million figure includes the cities of Leavenworth and Lansing, the county and other public departments.
Magaha predicts there will be a presidential disaster declaration for Kansas and Leavenworth County. That would provide federal assistance to pay for most of the flood costs.
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
Belgium hit a new milestone Monday — 450 days without a government — but still no one appears to be in any big hurry to resolve the situation.
Europe's financial crisis and feeble economic growth may scare governments from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean Sea, but in Belgium it is a sideshow. Talks on a new Belgian government, which have been going on since the June 13, 2010 election, were at a standstill Monday for a third day running.
Why? Because Green Party negotiator Jean-Michel Javaux — also the mayor of Amay, a small eastern town — had to attend a town meeting to vote on, among other things, a new police car and a computer.
TEHRAN, IRAN
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.6-magnitude quake was centered 60 miles southwest of the city of Medan at a depth of 62 miles.
Hundreds of patients from at least one hospital had to be evacuated, some in wheelchairs or with infusion drips still attached to their arms.
Iran's nuclear chief on Monday proposed to allow the U.N. nuclear watchdog "full supervision" of its nuclear activities for five years provided that sanctions against Tehran are lifted, but the official did not give details of his offer.
The United Nations has imposed four rounds of Security Council sanctions over Tehran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to produce nuclear fuel or materials for an atomic bomb.
Iran's nuclear program is already subject to routine IAEA inspections. IAEA cameras monitor Iran's nuclear activities, including its contentious uranium enrichment sites.

Trees and fence in flames near 24th and Missouri
"I heard a pop afterward; that was it," Woodworth said. "You could feel the heat through the window."
Witnesses said they saw a wooden fence and trees in flames around 6 p.m. on Monday behind Coachlight Apartments near 24th and Missouri streets. Mike Woodworth, a resident, was inside when the fire started.
Multiple residents and neighbors said they lost power as the fire burned.
Tia Palmer-Hardy, a resident, said she heard a pop that sounded like an explosion just after she looked outside.
"I seen stuff on fire flying in the sky," she said.
Lt. Greg Murray with the Lawrence Fire Department said the flames were as high as the building when he arrived, but firefighters extinguished the flames by 6:15 p.m. Officials said they don't know what started the fire yet, but no injuries have been reported.

Fifteen Self Engineering Leadership Fellows (SELF) planned the project with the goal of gaining and sharing valuable experiences related to global engineering. In planning for the project, fellows utilized the engineering process by brainstorming, writing a proposal and presenting to donors.
"While in Brazil, we wanted to look at energy, the environment, the economy and engineering," said Kara Walker, a senior fellow majoring in chemical engineering.
The SELF program is a fouryear scholarship program. Fellows work with the community outside their engineering courses, usually 40 hours per semester. As juniors, fellows plan a senior capstone experience that incorporates all the engineering disciplines and pillars of the program.
"Last year, we developed a project to incorporate engineering principles and give back to the community and university," said Megan Godsey, a senior majoring in chemical engineering.
"We started by brainstorming potential projects," Godsey said.
"The reason we chose Brazil is
their economy is expanding at an incredible rate and they are trying to balance that growth with environmental stewardship"
While in Brazil, the students toured leading companies, met with an environmental lawyer and learned about the sugar cane industry.
"A major export is sugar cane," Walker said. "However, they are cutting down forest land for sugar cane so the problem is conserving forest while increasing sugar cane production."
The experience also shaped the students' views of Brazil.
"Visiting companies and learning about Brazil is different than reading about Brazil in the paper," Walker said. "It's far different to actually go to Brazil and talk to the people about their concerns and accomplishments about their country."
The students found the Brazilians to be warm and welcoming. Godsey said Brazilians were eager to talk about the progress of their country.
They also seemed to be concerned about the environment and energy conservation.
("Brazilians") are more conscious about their energy usage; Walker said. "They are just more aware of it."
Godsey noticed the use of nature in conservation as a sign of greater environmental awareness.
"With a lot of the people we talked to, forests, the sun and the ocean came up often in conversation."
Both students gained valuable perspective from their experiences.
"I saw a different international business culture and seeing how important it is for cultures to work together on the global scale," Walker said.
Said Godsey: "Just to see a global environment was impactful for me. Companies are investing all over the world, showing how economies are not just based on internal trade."
The fellows plan to present two lectures detailing their experiences. The first will be held in Spahr Classroom in Eaton Hall on Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. The second will likely be in early November.
Alumni of the school of engineering provided funding for the project.
"The overall experience of taking a basic concept, making it marketable, and seeing it to fruition teaches project management," said Lucy McGilley, the SELF's program director. "It's a wonderful learning experience to gain global awareness, see international business, and grow professionally and personally."

"I have never felt safer riding with anyone other then Josh," she wrote in an email.
Motorcycles continue to carry risks
There are more than 1,000 motorcycle accidents each year in Kansas, and the number of deaths has risen over the past decade, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. In 2008, the last year for which statistics are available, 45 people were killed in motorcycle accidents in Kansas. In 1998, there were 19.
Patterson said he has been riding motorcycles for 38 years, and the dealership has been in his family for three generations. He said he doesn't believe motorcycles are inherently more dangerous than cars, but that accidents like the one on Wednesday night stand out in the public eye.
Mike Patterson, owner of Topeka Harley-Davidson in Topeka, said motorcycles are not inherently dangerous, but do pose challenges.
"You're vulnerable to not being seen," he said. "You've got to assume people are out to hit you."

"It's terrible when this happens," Patterson said. "But it gets a lot of attention."
Friends and family will pay their respects in Deerfield
Norton continues riding with the club that Skipton introduced him to, and remembers his friend as a "really fun guy to be around." He and Skipton began riding motorcycles together in 2008, and when Norton returned home from the Army, he moved to Lawrence and they rode again. On their first night out, Norton punctured a tire on Massachusetts Street and
"Up to now, I just wasn't ready," Norton said. He'll offer his condolences when he returns to Deerfield for the funeral services, and will try to arrange for the Lawrence and Garden City motorcycle clubs to ride to Deerfield together.

Skipton called the bike club for help. After some members of the club showed up and helped repair the tire, they continued riding. Norton said that was the kind of friend Skipton was.
Although he knows the Skipton family well, he hasn't spoken with them yet, Norton said.

Alternative methods replace police in bike theft recoveries
SARA SNEATH
ssneath@kansan.com
A large board hangs in the repair area of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop. Pictures of customers and employees populate the majority of the board, but on the bottom left hand corner resides scraps of paper with phone numbers, bike descriptions, and place and date of theft.
On July 29, Nick Kemmis, a junior from Overland Park, woke up to find his bike stolen from the foyer of his apartment complex. His first reaction was not to contact the police.
"I kept an eye out on Craigslist, pawn shops and second-hand stores," Kemmis said. "I did contact the police, but it was quite a while later."
Kemmis is not the only bicyclist turning to alternative methods to retrieve his stolen bike. By comparing victim survey data and data recorded by police, the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing estimates that in 2006, for every incident of bicycle theft, another four or more may have occurred.
According to the Center, bicycle theft victims do not report the crime to the police because they feel police are not interested in bicycle theft and cannot do anything about it, both in terms of catching the theft and returning the stolen bicycle.
Kemmis said when he did report the stolen bicycle to police, there was little they could do.
"they gave me a number for the evidence department, but I didn't have much luck there." Kemmis said.
HANNAH WISE/KANSAN
Sunflower employee Collin Earhart said the board in the repair area of Sunflower has been there forever. Earnhart said people call in regularly inquiring about stolen bikes. He said most of the time the bikes are never seen again. However, there have been a few occasions in which Sunflower has helped in the recovery of a stolen bicycle.
A bike is locked up in an alley on Massachusetts St. on Monday afternoon. Many bicycle thefts in Lawrence are never reported to the police because victims feel filing a police report can't help them.
Earnhart said a man brought in a women's-style bicycle tire last month, triggering his suspicion. He said that when the man brought in the rest of the bicycle, he recognized it as one stolen from a regular Sunflower customer.

The Center for Problem-Oriented Policing also reports that few bicycles are returned to their owners often because of a problem with proof-of-ownership. Most cyclists don't keep their bicycles' serial numbers on file, nor do
Kemmis still has not located his bicycle. It is a green 2010 Gary Fisher Triton.

In a statement released by the Kansas Athletics department, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little commented on the coach and player who stayed connected to the program up until his death.
"Don Fambrough is a Jayhawk legend," Gray-Little said. "As an alumnus, and a storied and salty football coach, Fambrought had an unbridled passion for the University of Kansas. On behalf of the entire Jayhawk nation, I honor his memory and extend the deepest condolences
Athletics Director Sheaon Zenger also paid tribute to Fambrough in the release from Kansas Athletics.
"Don Fambrough was an icon – not just on the KU campus, but across the state of Kansas," Zenger said. "He wore his passion for KU on his sleeve, and every day he proudly demonstrated his love for Kansas Football and Kansas Athletics. He loved his players, and they played their hearts out for him. We will all miss him greatly."

Kansas better but not perfect
FOOTBALL

It took a year, but Turner Gill finally got the season debut that coaches at major football programs expect.
After losing to North Dakota State in the 2010 season opener—a night when everything seemed to go wrong—the tables turned for the Jayhawks in their 41-24 victory against the McNeese State Cowboys on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
"It's just hard work paying off for us," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "When you make investments in the offseason, those checks get cashed during the season."
With Kansas up by four in the second, the offense got the ball down to the 5-yard line and appeared likely to score before the McNeese State defense stuffed James Sims on two consecutive plays, bringing up fourth down. Then came the flaps.
Kansas had a personal foul,
dropping them back to what would have been a fourth and 18, but McNeese State got a personal foul after the play, giving Kansas a new set of downs to work with. Kansas promptly scored to give the Javahawks a 14-3 lead.
"It felt great," junior receiver Kale Pick said. "Our offense executed well in the run game, and
I'm glad we could open up gaps for our running backs and then in the pass game we executed really well too."

then I saw Kale wide open, so I tried to just put it right on him. JaCorey just made a great play and Kale through an awesome block and it worked out. It's funny how things just kind of work out sometimes."
Just outside of scoring position, the Jayhawks' drive stalled on the 24-yard line. On fourth down, Webb was sacked and walked gingerly to the sideline.
For a moment, it looked like the Jayhawks luck might run out.
McNeese State drove down and scored, bringing the Cowboys within two scores in the fourth quarter.
The javahaws bounced back, driving down the field in the wildcat formation before Webb returned to the field and threw a strike to Shepherd to put the game out of reach.
"One of our offseason goals was fighting through adversity;" senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. "We told each other we were going to fight through adversity no matter what. Weather, penalties, adversity will come this season and we are willing to stand up and fight it. That was the biggest thing, just keep moving next play."

Notes
The Glass is Half Full
The Jayhawks are 1-0 after their victory on Saturday. Many young Jayhawks preformed well in their first game in wearing Crimson and Blue. If the Jayhawks are to have any hope of reaching a bowl game this season, the young Jayhawks will have to continue to perform week in and week out like they did against McNeese State.
The Glass is Half Empty
The class is hard Empty
The defense struggled at times to contain the McNeese passing attack. With the Big 12 full of teams with prolific passers, the Jayhawks could be in for a bumpy road if their defense doesn't improve.

McNeese State torched Kansas with short passes and screens in the flat. The Jayhawks would then use their speed and usually get two or three players in on the tackle.
The soft zone most likely is a strategy that will only be used for the Cowboys, as the jayhawks knew they would be OK as long as they didn't get beat with the big play.
Still, the two McNeese State quarterbacks completed 31 of 41 attempts, a number the Jayhawks hope they won't see come conference play.
"They have a very good screen game," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. "Some of the complexities off of it is better than what you actually see in the Big 12."
For the most part, though, the Jayhawks passed their first test on Saturday. They soundly beat their opponent, executing their game plan exactly how they wanted.
They ran the ball around and through the McNeese State defense, threw the ball downfield safely and successfully and didn't get torched on the big play defensively.
Most of all, they showed improvement and put away fears that 2011 will be a repeat performance of what happened last year.

source of enthusiasm, especially during the time of the Border War, when held occasionally deliver his famous pre-game speeches (Fambrough refused to call it a "showdown" after the schools renamed the rivalry game. "It's a damn war!" he'd say).
"He taught me about the Missouri rivalry and taught me how to play with love for the game because KU's never been an outstanding, great football team," senior linebacker Steven Johnson
said. "But he told us that you've got to have love for the game and you've got to go out there and play with passion, play with strength and play because you love it."
In a college football landscape where coaches and players are more likely to make headlines for breaking rules and acting selfishly, we could certainly use more people like Don Fambrough. But there will never be anyone to replace the original.

Game Balls
1. Freshman Runningback Tony Pierson: Pierson didn't touch the ball much, but when he did, he electrified Memorial stadium with his explosiveness. On his first career carry for the Jayhawks he broke off a 47 yard run.
2. Senior Linebacker Steven Johnson: Johnson set a new career-high as he led the Jayhawks with 15 tackles, including two for a loss. Johnson also forced the only turnover on either side when he forced McNeese QB Riley Dodge to fumble on McNeese State's last possession.
3. Freshman Receiver JaCorey Shepherd: Shepherd led the Jayhawks with 107 yards on three catches and two touchdowns.
Delay of Games
1. McNese State Kicker Josh Lewis. Lewis missed a 33 yard field goal badly, then later missed a PAT when his kick ricocheted off the goal post.
2. McNese State runningback Andre Anderson: Anderson was ineffective crushing against the Jayhawks defense. He amassed just 24 yards on 10 carries.
3. Freshman Safety Keeston Terry: Terry struggled at times, getting turned around in pass coverage in his first start as a Jayhawk. He'll have to improve as the offenses the Jayhawks will only get better as Big 12 play roles around.

"I definitely had my eye on the ball when it was coming, my way and was getting ready to catch it and run with it, but JaCorey came on the crossing route and caught it. He made a great play too. I saw a guy trailing him real quick so I had to make a block so he could get in."

AUTHENTIC ELEKTRIAN
Freshman running back Anthony
Pierson swiftly moves to avoid getting tackled in Saturday nights opening season game against McNeese State.
Pierson had a total of five rushes during the game.
Biggest Answer
The Jayhawks didn't throw the ball much, but they were effective when they did. Sophomore Quarterback Jordan Webb erased any doubts, if there were any left from the offseason quarterback competition, about who will be leading the offense. His deep ball looked good, even though they fell to the turf due to pass interference penalties.
Still Questioning
The Kansas defensive game plan for defending the screen pass. The Jayhawks struggled to defend against the screen pass. McNesee State running back Champai Babin caught five passes for 108
yards and a touchdown against the Jay hawks.
Looking ahead
Northern Illinois will be a tough test for the Jayhawks defense. They present a balanced attack on offense that gained 220 yards through the air and 289 on the ground as they defeated Army 49-26, while holding Army to just six points in the first three quarters. Senior Quarterback Chandler Harnish threw for five touchdowns in the contest.
Good, Bad, or Just Plain Stuid
State 17. Both offenses exceed expectations, we'll consider the prediction good considering how hard it is to judge how such a young team will come out of the gates.
Original prediction Kansas 34 McNeese
Final Thought
The Jayhawks rushing attack showed promise that it could become a four-headed monster during the season. They dominated the McNeese defense for 316 yards. Don't expect the Jayhawks to be able to run the ball 55 times every game, but after what they showed in the opener, this season the Jayhawks success will stem from the ground game.

Gene Simmons gets his wedding KISS
LOS ANGELES — Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have a date to get married — finally. The KISS singer and the former Playmate have been together for 28 years and have two children.
The invite isn't all rock-star bravado, however. Teasing to the formation of "Team Tweed-Simmons," it continues: "We will be united as a family in title and spirit forever."
"Our mother will share our horrendous hyphenate of a last name and our father's life ... well, it doesn't change that much."
— Los Angeles Times
Simmons' proposal in Belize was naturally captured by reality-tv cameras for A&E's show "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels," which rolls its seventh season starting Oct. 4.
Simmons is 62 and still touring with Paul Stanley and the current incarnation of KISS. Tweed is 54.

LOS ANGELES — "The Help" didn't have to work hard to maintain its box office dominance over Labor Day, effortlessly claiming the No. 1 spot for the third weekend in a row.
LOS ANGELES TIMES
The adaptation of Kathyn Stockett's novel of pre-civil rights Mississippi has been cleaning up at the multiplex ever since its premiere almost four weeks ago, when it opened behind "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." "In an unlikely feat, solid word-of-mouth has since propelled the film to the top spot at the box office every weekend since.
'The Help' rules box offices
The film sold $19 million worth of tickets domestically over the four-day weekend, according to an estimate from distributor Walt Disney Studios. The picture, which stars an ensemble cast featuring Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone, has now accumulated $123.4 million after 27 days in release.
Labor Day weekend is traditionally one of the slowest of the year for the movie business, and 2011 was no exception. Ticket sales were up a slight 5 percent compared with the same period last year, but three new films still failed to muster impressive results.
"The Debt," a Holocaust action drama, had a better-than-expected opening, grossing $12.6 million during the long weekend. The horror film "Apollo 18" took in $10.7 million — falling short of industry projections that it would win the weekend with about $15 million. Meanwhile, the thriller "Shark Night 3D," which had the benefit of 3-D ticket surcharges, scared up a modest $10.3 million.
"The Debt," which received the best reviews by tar of any film opening over the weekend, was also the premiere most-liked by audiences. Those who saw the film starring Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain — 70 percent of whom were at least 40 years old — gave it an average grade of B, according to market research firm CinemaScore.
KU
Jack Foley, president of domestic distribution for Focus Features — which released "The Debt" — said the studio's adult-centric films have often performed well over Labor Day. (Last year, Focus released the George Clooney action film "The American" during the holiday weekend, and it took the No. 1 spot with $16.7 million.)

Dear upperclassmen, we're two weeks in and I'm already sick of reading your freshmen jokes in the FFA column.
I'm all for the chalking but when I can't walk to class without the bottom of my shoes turning into chalk rainbows? I get a little tickled.
A purse, lunch box and a backpack on wheels. It's college, not the airport people.
When I first heard about FFA, I was really worried that the agricultural club was really big at KU.
To Whom it May Concern: Letters for Hogwarts admission arrive no later than 31 July. Should your letter not come, it probably means you're a sad little muggle living in a delusional dream. Sincerely, the Minister for Muggle Relations
Why can't class be like Mad Men? Just smoke cigs and drink scotch all day and not give a damn!
What?! I can TEXT submissions to free for all now!! GPA, youll have to take one for the team!

Sometimes, I wonder why I'm such a slut, then I go to class and see all the sexu KU guys and remember why.
Professor made me question is ice cream or sex better? Wait what?!
To the dame crossing campus on a 90's razor scooter. Please marry me. PLEASE.
Hey FFA girl needing boob names, how about David and Goliath?
The band does not apologize for how we look. We work really hard, Really, Hard.
Some idiots driving around in a Mizzou car. He's about to get frat attacked. Silly little tiger, KU isn't for you.
The FFA doesn't need to make fun of K-State's EcoKat. It makes fun of itself
Not making it on the FFA makes me sad.

Kansas football fans are horrible. How do you expect someone to succeed when you refuse to support?
For once can people not say "home of the Chiefs" during the national anthem, instead respect the people who have fought & gave their lives for you! I doubt the Chiefs would do that. IT'S HOME OF THE BRAVE!
The speakers make the band sound off.. Get rid of them and just blow harder.

University must reconsider priorities
I'm disappointed were not gonna use pigeon mail to submit our FFAs. I have a pigeon ready to deliver. What a shame!
Not only is the Big 12 conference now a misnomer with nine teams, it's threatened with extinction if universities keep leaving.
Originally a healthy 12 institutions, last year's exit by the University of Colorado and University of Nebraska whittled the Big 12 conference down to ten. Then, Texas A&M University announced last week that it will leave the conference on June 30, 2012. Now Oklahoma University is opening its options and allegedly entertaining PAC-12 membership.
If Oklahoma leaves, eight
schools would compete in a uninformed conference. It can get worse if Oklahoma brings Oklahoma State University and Texas Tech University along, or if University of Texas and University of Missouri go separate ways on the backs of their media networks.
The six major NCAA conferences are important organizations that promote healthy, advanced competition at the collegiate level. They spur rivalries including University of Kansas and Missouri's Border War, and Oklahoma and Texas' Red River Rivalry. The Big 12 in particular,
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who has a vote in the conference, and Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger have already publicly pledged a strong commitment to staying in the Big
12. But, in assessing the damage done to the conference from at least three members leaving, we hope Gray-Little and Zenger do what's best for this institution's image and moral fiber.
prides itself on close proximity and rivalries between member universities. A collapse of the conference, with the exit of universities including Kansas, will be devastating to NCAA competition. But moving to a different conference may come with greater financial rewards. So what does the University do in this situation?
The effect that staying in a diminished conference, or moving to a bigger conference has on student athletes, and the long-standing traditions with peer universities should be considered first and foremost.
To stay or leave is a hard decision. Even in a time of economic uncertainty, it shouldn't be based on the lucrative Big Ten network, PAC-12 expansion or SEC talent, but rather the Jayhawk culture.
Texas A&M pledged their removal after holding concerns about Texas' alleged recruiting advantage with its ESPN-backed Longhorn Network. The decision seems to be a financially oriented one.
There is more to a NCAA conference than a bigger navcheck.
The University must put a healthy institution ahead of profit.
Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board
CULTURE
Society devalues meaning of sex
Besides the usual monotony of hot weather this summer, I noticed an unusual monotony of trashy television shows. It's a popular time for producers to air the most pitiful excuses for entertainment while we, the young and gullible, are meant to ogle at the television.
I noticed a theme throughout these shows: casual sex, but not just casual sex between adults who have jobs, support themselves, and can deal with the emotional and physical effects that inevitably come with sex. This was casual, meaningless sex between 14-20 year olds in shows like "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" or "Teen Mom". Oh, don't raise your eyebrows; we're all guilty of watching these sorts of shows.
Having sex, though, is supposed to be more meaningful. Now, I'm not advocating being a bunch of prudes and wearing chastity belts. I'm merely advocating for a middle ground and learning to respect ourselves and our bodies before partaking in the "hook-up" culture.
The last I remember, when I was in middle and high school the farthest thing from my mind was hooking up in my parent's basement with the pre-pubescent guy sitting next to me in pre-algebra. Even now, I have too much on my mind to think about casually hooking up with every random guy I meet at college.
But this seems to be something our generation has come to expect. Sex, especially on college campuses, is shoved into our faces and presented like something no more meaningful than going to get your teeth cleaned at the dentist.
Do we really kid ourselves that we can have care-free sex and not have emotional consequences like many of these shows would have us believe?
Alexis Knutsen
aknutsen@kansan.com
Yes, these shows do tell us the physical consequences, but notice how usually everything is fine and
dandy in the end. And as viewers we can immediately disengage.
In reality, we can't disengage and make the monsters go away. What we do with our bodies especially when we're young has both emotional and physical consequences. In those olden days long ago when entertainment had some sense of decency, seeing sex on television was akin to seeing pigs fly. It just didn't happen; it may have been implied, but more important than sexual gratification was the actual human being and the significance behind a relationship. Sex is not an insignificant part of our lives. When we devalue sex, we lose what is so essential to our humanness - love.
I speak especially to young women. Did the sexual revolution go too far? Did we go from objectifying ourselves as subservient to men to objectifying ourselves as merely sexual objects? Wasn't the whole idea of the sexual revolution to give us choices? Then why does entertainment present us like this? Why at college is hooking up with someone you've just met a norm?
There's a piece missing - respect. We have to respect ourselves and really think about our actions before we dig a hole too deep and do something we'll regret.
As we enter a new school year and adulthood, we have to ask what we want for ourselves, not what society expects us to want.

HUMAN RIGHTS
4th rescheduling of execution date shows system's flaws
Within the next couple of weeks, death row inmate Troy Davis from Georgia may receive his execution date for the fourth time.
Troy Davis was sentenced to death after being convicted for the murder of Mark Allen MacPhail, a police officer in Savannah, Ga. The sentencing occurred over 18 years ago, and since, the case against Davis has fallen apart.
Obviously the emotion and anger surrounding the murder of a police officer is deep, and rightly so. But such circumstances appear to have led to what is likely a false conviction.
Often the most important things in a murder case are physical evidence and the weapon used in the crime. In the case against Davis, there was no physical evidence linking him to the murder, nor was the murder weapon ever found. That meant that any conviction, especially one in which the prosecution was seeking a death penalty in sentencing, would need to have strong witness testimony.
In 1991, the jury found the witness testimony to be strong enough to issue a guilty verdict. But since then, new details have come to light that suggest the information on which the jury based its decision is not entirely valid and is certainly not strong enough for a conviction.
Since Davis' conviction and sentencing, seven of the nine non-police witnesses to the crime recanted or contradicted their testimonies, and many have claimed they were
Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com
In March, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Davis' appeals.
Davis now awaits his fourth execution date, which could be issued any day. His last chance is for the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles to stop his execution.
It is no wonder many human rights organizations and advocates have taken an interest in the Troy Davis case. The lack of evidence against Davis provides no concrete case against him, and it is not consistent with a death sentence. His case is a clear representation of how flaws in the justice system make the use of capital punishment unjustifiable.
Coincidentally (or not), one of the two witnesses who have not recanted or contradicted their testimonies is the primary alternative suspect in the case, Sylvester Coles. Nine people have signed affidavits implicating Coles for the murder
to make certain statements or provide testimony implicating Davis
Troy Davis is not just an isolated case. Kansans should be aware of what is going on with Troy Davis because this kind of case could happen in any state that still uses
The problem is not unique to any specific state. The list of exonerees from death row includes defendants from over 25 different states. Thirty-four states still have capital punishment.
As long as we have a justice system that makes these kinds of mistakes (as we most likely always will, since we are imperfect), we cannot employ the death penalty. It is not in the state's interest to toy with a human life.
Proponents of the death penalty often argue that we should reserve a death sentence for only the worst of the worst criminals. Isn't that what we are already supposed to be doing? And clearly, Davis cannot be considered the worst of the worst when the case against him is falling apart. Obviously that approach is not serving justice.

VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball defends home court, stays perfect
MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team remained undefeated with three victories this weekend at the Jayhawk Invitational. However, the Jayhawks' best plays may have come on a point the team actually lost.
The Jayhawks (6-0) notched consecutive wins over Belmont, Appalachian State and South Dakota State to claim victory in their own invitational this weekend at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield recorded 43 kills and was named the most valuable player for the team's second straight tournament.
Mayfield said racking up tournament MVPs feels great, but is not what matters to her in the long run.
"It not something that is super important to me, but it's great to have," Mayfield said. "It really just shows my team is doing a really great job playing together. They're allowing me to play well with all the effort they're putting in on the court. Our main goal was to come out, get the wins and take care of
business."
Saturday afternoon's match against South Dakota State (5-2) was the decisive contest in the invitational as both teams won their Friday contests. Late in the second set, the Jayhawks had two consecutive spectacular digs that brought their fans for a standing ovation, despite the point being awarded to the Jackrabbits.
"There were a couple of times where we had some scrapy plays, and the fans love it," Mayfield said. "I wish we could win the point because it probably would have been the loudest I would have ever heard this gym, but it was a great rally."
The rally was an encouraging sign for coach Ray Bechard, but he said the team has to learn to finish those exchanges if they want to be successful this season.
"There were some times today where we really, really grooved and scrambled, whatever you want to call it," Bechard said. "But then we have got to figure out how to win those rallies, too. That kind of effort is good, but how do you end plays like that?"
South Dakota State by sweeping.
25-11, 25-21, 25-23.
Kansas finished the game with
In Friday afternoon's match against Belmont (2-5), the Jayhawks lost their first set of the season in the second. The team responded by jumping out to a 12-6 advantage in the third set and never looked back, defeating the Bruins on the next two sets. The Jayhawks defeated the Bruins, 25-17, 22-25, 25-19, 25-18.
Sophomore libero Brianne Riley had 13 of the Jayhawks' 52 digs on Friday night. Riley credited her middle blockers, junior Tayler Tolefree and sophomore Caroline Jarmoc, in helping her stand out over the weekend.
Mayfield set the tone early in the team's second match against Appalachian State (4-3), recording four kills in the Jayhawks' first eight points. Behind Mayfield's strong effort, the team jumped out to an 8-3 lead in the first set and won the game, 25-18, 25-14, 25-20.
"I still have more I can improve on," Riley said. "With the blockers I have I'm still able to make those digs, with Jarmoc and Tolefree in the middle, I can read my hitters way easier with them."
Tolefree and Jarmoc were both named to the all-tournament team, along with Mayfield. Bechard said he thinks Mayfield is playing the best volleyball of her career, but to Riley, it is just Mayfield being Mayfield.
The Jayhawks will return to action Friday night in Cedar Falls, Iowa, for the Northern Teva Invitational. Bechard said the team will need to sustain performances like they had in the first set against South Dakota State if they want their record to remain uncathed.
"That's just May(field) for you," Riley said. "That's what I expect out of her. But she is playing phenomenal, and as the year goes on, she'll probably get even better, which is awesome. Our team relies on her a lot."
"I was extremely pleased with the way we started the match today, but those are situations where you have to play at that level for an hour and a half, two hours, to beat really good teams," Bechard said. "Right now I think the mantra is that we have got to play better for longer."

Still, the Jayhawks had a team oriented focus on Saturday.
"The focus was keeping the team and underclassmen running together as a pack." Zarda said.
Eventually, the KU runners separated more than they had intended, but in the end, they still managed to win as a team. Not all of the top runners were able to compete, but this allowed some of the younger athletes to step up under pressure.
Evan Landes and Emilio Trujillo, both freshmen, placed in the top 10 in the race.
The second place finish for the women's was a touch disappointing for coach Stanley Redwine.

Women's sports need recognition, too
THE MORNING BREW
It doesn't matter if my favorite sports teams are juggernauts that annihilate their opponents or bottom-dwellers that fall flat on their faces; I always support them.
Asa Minnesota native, watching the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves and Wild struggle has been depressing. Even Minnesota sports radio host and Vikings play-by-play man Paul Allen has called Minnesota "Loserville, USA"
But this summer, one Minnesota sports team rose from the depths of futility and has emerged as a legitimate championship contender in their sport: the Minnesota Lynx.
For those who don't know, the Minnesota Lynx are a professional women's basketball team in the WNBA.

cjmatson@kansan.com
Since their inception into the league in 1999, the Lynx have typified mediocrity by reaching the playoffs only twice in 11 seasons.
But this year is different.
The Lynx are currently 25-7 and have clinched home-court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. They've amassed more wins than the 2010-11 Timberwolves, who have won a paltry 32 games in two seasons.
I had the opportunity to cover the Lynx for my internship this summer, and I can honestly say I enjoyed watching them play. I'll admit I didn't watch any Lynx games before this summer because it didn't appeal to me. The players did a fabulous job using their skills, techniques and intelligence
on the court. They were fundamentally sound. The atmosphere at the games was also pleasantly surprising. The thousands of fans who attended the games at Target Center were actively engaged and showed full support for the Lynx.
Back when I played basketball in high school, one of my coaches recommended watching college and professional women's basketball and emulating their techniques because their style of play was more similar to men's basketball in secondary school than college and professional men's basketball.
It's time our society fully embraces women's athletics.
Since the Olympics began thousands of years ago in Greece, men have dominated the sports landscape and culture. Women weren't even able to participate in sports until Title IX was enacted in 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination.
Women's sports have always been in the shadow of men's sports. In sports, money and demand dictate almost everything, and unfortunately, women's sports don't produce enough revenue and demand because many sports fans, who are males, aren't interested in watching volleyball, softball, soccer or other women's sports.
It was great to see the FIFA Women's World Cup covered extensively by ESPN. Support and admiration for the US women's soccer team, particularly for Abby Wambach and Hope Solo, was well-deserved because they and the rest of the team worked diligently. Despite their loss to Japan in the World Cup final, their performance and will to win was inspiring.
I encourage all KU students, faculty and staff to attend Kansas women's sporting events, and I'll try my best to attend them as well. It's easy for Jayhawk fans to
support the men's basketball and football teams because they're the most popular sports on campus. The women athletes practice and play just as hard as the men. Just imagine Allen Fieldhouse at full capacity during Kansas women's basketball games or volleyball, softball, or soccer games with no empty seats in the stands.
If the Minnesota Lynx win the WNBA title this season, it would be the first Minnesota pro championship since 1991, when the Twins beat the Braves in the World Series.
Women's sports will probably never receive the same level of attention as men's sports, but the least we can do is recognize and support them as well as encourage girls to pursue their sports dreams and not allow obstacles and adversity to deter them from participating.

COMMENTARY
Coach's legacy lives on
Joel Petterson
jpetterson@kansan.com
Saturday was an auspicious beginning for the 2011 season, but it was also the end to something much more important to Kansas football than one game, season or trophy.
With the passing of former coach Don Fambrough, Kansas football lost its greatest supporter - a man who brought passion and tradition to a program that has lacked those things for most of its history.
It's easy these days to find schools with packed trophy cases, stacked rosters and awe-inspiring stadiums. But you'll be hard-pressed to find many Don Fambroughs in 2011. Even for those of us who never met him, his name was synonymous with loyalty.
In an age where fans can turn on a team after a single loss, and at a school where halftime is generally exit time for most students, Fambrough never wavered in his support of the team.
And it wasn't because of anything Kansas football did for him; remember, this is probably the only man who has ever been fired as coach of a team twice - once in 1974 and once in 1982. That was the last time he received a paycheck from the school, but he was still a regular sight at Memorial Stadium for practices and games for decades afterward.
UDK
If he loved watching teams win, plenty of other schools would have been a better choice. But Coach Fam, as he was known by players, loved Kansas just because and that was that.
He embodied Kansas's tradition more than any other person - more than Todd Reesing, Mark Mangino or Gale Sayers.
He was around when the Big Six became the Big Seven, then Big Eight, then Big 12, then more like the Big Nine. And while he'd seen a few triumphs, he'd also been given plenty of reasons to stop supporting the Jayhawks. Besides being fired twice, he'd seen enough losing seasons and half-empty stands at Memorial Stadium to make even the most fervent fan question his or her commitment.
Coach Fam not only saw, but also helped produce many of the moments from the team's history that today's students can only drunkenly cheer for during pregame videos.
But rather than lamenting the lack of intensity around the program, he was determined to be the
COMMENTARY CONTINUED 15
Anyone around here can probably tell you about Kansas's 2008 Orange Bowl victory - including Fambrough. But he could tell also about another Orange Bowl - the 1948 game in which Kansas fell to Georgia Tech. It was Kansas's first bowl game in school history, and Fambrough was a guard and captain of the team. He could also tell you about the 1969 Orange Bowl, when Kansas lost in the final seconds to Penn State and Fambrough served as assistant coach.

FULL SPEED AHEAD

MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Ever since he took over as coach, Turner Gill preached adding speed.
All offseason he talked about how much faster this team was, and on Saturday, in the team's season opening 42-24 victory over McNeese State, the Jayhawks showed it.
Offensively, while Kansas dominated the line of scrimmage behind a veteran offensive line, the majority
of their points came on big plays.
The Jayhawks lulled and then pounded the Cowboys' defense all game, running the ball 55 times for 301 yards. They would then catch McNeese State off guard and bring the fans at Memorial Stadium to their feet with a big play.
Four of the lahaywaks' six touchdowns came from plays over 10 yards. Jordan Webb's three touchdown passes went for 25-, 56- and 48-yard passes. Freshman JaCorey Shepherd, who showcased his speed and big-play capability, hauled in
Webb's two longest passes.
"I was a little nevous for him," Webb said. "I was waiting to see how he would do in a game because, as a receiver, a game is a little different than practice. He did great, and he's going to be really good for us."
Shepherd impressed Webb, who was willing to admit he was unsure about how the young playmaker would perform once the lights at Memorial Stadium turned on.
A second flash of speed and big playmaking ability came from freshman running back Tony
Pierson, who scorched the Cowboys twice on runs of 46 and 13 yards.
The Jayhawks also showed improved speed Saturday with their offensive tempo. Kansas ran a hurry-up, no-huddle offense off and on throughout the game. The hurry-up kept the same McNeese State players on the field, wearing out a defense that had to defend 55 running plays.
McNeese State coach Matt Viator not only came away impressed with the run-heavy Kansas attack,
but with the fast-paced tempo that was mixed in.
"Give Kansas credit because what Coach Gill and his staff did is feared. Foot to foot, run the football." Viator said. "The other thing I thought Kansas did a great job with tonight was the no-huddle. That is something new that they got us with because they did not do it last year."
On defense, Kansas also showed plenty of speed, but that speed

ACKO
Liana Salazar's first goal of the season was a long time coming. During the six games she missed on every side of the goal and from all angles.
Nonetheless, it was worth the wait for Kansas.
Salazar used some fancy footwork and danced around half the South Dakota State defense before poking the ball passed the goalkeeper. The goal gave the jayhawks the go-ahead goal in he 81st minute of Sunday's 2-1 win against South Dakota State.
NICK SMITH/KANSAN
Sophomore forward Kelsey Clifton attempting to steal the ball from DSU player Courtney Higgins during Sunday's Soccer match with South Dakota State University.
"I'm very, very happy," Salazar said. "I tried every game to make a goal and finally got my first goal."
Salazar was by no means playing poorly in her first year with the Jayhawks, but putting home a game-winning goal could be crucial for her.
"She's a threat offensively and it just gave her some confidence," coach Mark Francis said.
In the 73rd minute, Vidal capitalized on a through ball from junior Whitney berry and poked the ball into the net, tying the game at one.
Her teammate and fellow Colombian Ingrid Vidal continues to fill up the stat sheet and scored her team-leading four goal.
Nevertheless, the Jayhawks did not click offensively until late in the game, something that makes the coaching staff nervous down the stretch.
"I was probably panicking more than they were," Francis said. "The kids, to their credit, didn't panic. They were real direct and just moving the ball around prodding, looking for those opportunities and
Scoring chances came much easier in the second half after Kansas changed to the side of the field that allowed them to play with the wind.
ended up scoring two really good goals."
Yet the Jayhawks couldn't keep South Dakota State from scoring.
Kansas allowed an own goal when defender Madi Hillis headed in a cross from South Dakota State's Christa Nyblom, giving the lackrabbits the lead.
Defensive communication continues to be an area of concern for the Jayhawks.
Francis said the Jayhawks were overcompensating on a few plays, which caused some lengthy runs towards the goal by the Jackrabbits.
"We've got to get back to individual defending," Francis said "I thought our defending was really, really good, and some of it wasn't."
Freshman Caroline Vau Slambrouck continues to develop her stamina and endurance so she can log more minutes for KU's back line.
Throughout the game she had several key clearances that preventrf South Dakota State from attacking the goal.
"I thought today, overall, we were getting outmuscled off the ball a little bit, which we weren't a week ago," Francis said. "I think we've got to be a little more consistent with that."
"Making sure to work hard in practice, work hard in the game so I can keep making runs, it makes a huge difference." Van Slambrouck said.
The Jayhawks now want to tie up a few loose ends, in particular their physicality.
The Jayhawks kicked their play into gear in the second half and pulled out their third victory of their three-game road trip with a 3-1 win against Missouri State on Friday.
Kansas 3, Missouri State 1
"I don't think the intensity was
where it needed to be in the first half, they outhustled us for sure, " coach Mark Francis said.
Even with the Jayhawks fighting to find a rhythm early on, the initial goal came when freshman Ingrid Vidal played a ball through to fellow forward Caroline Kastor. Kastor then made a move on Missouri State goalkeeper Jessica Teahan and finished the goal 14 minutes into the game.
The jayhawks returned from halftime, and junior Whitney Berry hit a laser strike from 30 yards away. The ball zipped under the cross bar and into the net for a 2-1 lead.
Berry then set up Kansas' final goal when she chipped a ball over
the back line. Vidal took one touch and placed the ball perfectly in the net, putting the game out of reach.
Vidal is one of the leaders in the Big 12 with eight points in five games.
"We also made some great plays," Francis said. "We scored three really good goals, and it ended up being the difference in the game because Missouri State had opportunities too."
The Jayhawk continued alternating goalkeepers with junior Kat Liebetrau starting against Missouri State.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Rush and Wright set to return for Legends of the Phog game
Brandon Rush and Julian Wright, former men's basketball stars, will play in the Legends of the Phog alumni game on Sept. 24 at Allen Fieldhouse, according to Kansas Athletics.
Rush, a shooting guard, has played with the Indiana Pacers since 2008, averaging 8.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He was a key component to the 2008 national championship team, scoring 25 points and grabbing seven rebounds to fend off Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels in the final Four.
Wright, a forward, spent three seasons with the New Orleans Hornets before he was traded to the Toronto Raptors for Marco Belinelli in August 2010. Wright has struggled find a consistent role like he had in Lawrence, where he played multiple positions and stirred crowds with heavy dunks.
Both players were the 13th overall pick in the NBA draft—Wright in 2007 and Rush in 2008.
Other expected participants in the alumni game (as of Sept. 5): Paul Piper.

Apryl Tillman, a junior from Topeka, stands by her car in the yellow lot near the Rec Center. Students living outside of Lawrence have to take travel times and traffic into consideration.
Some students are so dedicated to school that they have committed to commuting from various cities, many traveling between 30 minutes to an hour each way everyday so they can continue to attend Kansas.
Although commuting from home can save some pocket change when it comes to groceries, utilities and bills, the amount of money spent on gas can be enough to make one cringe.
Making the trip from Topeka to Lawrence on a daily basis for both class and her job at Chili's can be a hassle, but Apryl Tillman said her commuting situation does indeed have its perks.
"If you are living with family it saves money on the necessity items," said Tillman, a junior commuter from Topeka. "Home cooked meals isn't nothing to sneeze at either. Also, I'm working on budgeting so that I can pay for an apartment all upfront for next year."
"I would estimate that I use about 20 to 25 gallons of gas per
week and, it probably costs me about $75," said Chris Katterhenry, a commuter from Lenaex. Katterhenry is in his sixth year at Kansas. He graduated in May 2010 with a degree in biochemistry.

ELECTION
Freshmen Student Senate voting concludes Wednesday
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH
jblakeborough@kansan.com
Freshman elections for Student Senate conclude today at 4 p.m. after week-long campaigns to secure one of the five open seats.
The senators will then be officially sworn into their positions Sept. 14 at the first full senate meeting of the 2011-2012 school year.
The five new senators will be notified via email of their appointment to the Senate at 5 p.m. and will then attend their first committee meeting that evening at the Union. The committee meetings are open to the public.
Only freshman can vote in this election. Eligibility is determined through Enroll and Pay so that only new students to the University will be able to vote. Voting sites are open on the student senate website, University home page and on the Enroll and Pay site.
"All of the new senators will stand up in front of the student body and they will be at the same level and pace along with every other new senator who were elected in the spring," said Hannah Bolton, chief of staff and election commissioner for the freshman elections.
The candidates have been running their own campaigns since
Aug. 30, which primarily consists of postering and chalking slogans on campus and in front of residence halls on Daisy Hill.
Paige Lytle, a freshman from Wichita majoring in political science, thinks that the campaign process could use some work. Lytle says that names chalked on sidewalks don't help voters understand candidates' views on important issues.
"People just end up voting for whatever looks pretty," Lyle said.
"Oats was my nickname in high school so I just kind of ran with that and I thought that would be a memorable campaign poster," said Oatman, a freshman from Overland Park majoring in pre-business
and pre-law.
Bolton however is proud of the creative slogans candidates have come up with such as Mitchell Cota's "Vota for Cota" and Mackenzie Oatman's "Oats do a student body good!"
Bolton says there have only been a few campaign violations this election season. In the past campaign violations have included:
putting fliers in residence halls
campaigning, in places such as the bus or residence halls where the public cannot get away from the candidate and.
chalking too early.
Bolton says that chalking is more of an issue during the spring elections. This fall, the primary violations have been putting fliers in the residence halls.
Bolton says the high turnout of candidates is especially exciting.
"It's interesting seeing so many people be so genuinely interested in wanting to be involved and getting their voice heard at KU," Bolton said.

Verizon moves to boost cell phone coverage
The new cell site is located near Memorial Stadium and was activated when Kansas classes started in August. The exact location of the site could not be released for security reasons.
Verizon Wireless media contact Brenda Hill said the company was meeting the demand for more network capacity with the increase of the use of data phones.
"We know that students text, e-mail, take pictures at football games and put them up on Facebook, and other things with their phones on campus." Hill said.
Hill said the new cell site will be especially useful when thousands of jayhawk fans come to campus for sporting events and tailgating.

New journalism class draws national attention
JONATHAN SHORMAN

jshorman@kansan.com
Batteries. Granola bars. First-aid kits. Journalism students watched Tuesday as John Milburn, an Associated Press reporter, pulled item after item out of his large green "jump bag" that he keeps stocked in case he's assigned to cover a disaster.
It was a brief introduction to the logistics of reporting traumatic situations for students enrolled in Journalism 201: Trauma and Media, a new class offered at the School of Journalism that's been gaining national attention.
The class, taught by Teresa Lamsam, a visiting professor of journalism from the University of Nebraska, grapples with coverage of traumatic events such as accidents and natural disasters and how journalists can cover these situations ethically.
"I am being absolutely swamped with responses from journalists about I can't believe you're teaching this class, it's so wonderful" and then I'm hearing all these stories, even on
On Tuesday, Milburn spoke to the class about his experiences covering disaster, from his first fatality accident to walking past houses with bodies in Bay St. Louis, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina. Milburn's visit was prescient because during the weekend the AP ran a story by Milburn regarding the class.
In Milburn's story, Ann Brill, dean of the School of journalism, said courses like Trauma and Media will help change the public's perception of media.
"There are things that can happen that effect people for a long, long time. We have to tell that story," Brill told the AP.
Austin Roberson, a junior from Silverlake, said that so far students in the class have been given introductions to natural disasters around the world and how they had been covered and that Milburn's presence has added to that.
my Facebook page, journalists are posting stories of their first basically, traumatic event coverage," Lamsam said.
With Milburn's help, Lamsam addressed the topic of compassion in reporting. Students discussed whether or not journalists can assist victims of a disaster while maintaining objectivity and professionalism. As a reference, Lamsam used a previous assignment where students had been asked to analyze media coverage of Hurricane Irene.
Index
"After I read the hurricane assignment and I saw how they were keyed in on the concept of compassion, whether they were using the word or not, I realized that it also caused a lot of conflict that some of them were a little leary of the journalism profession because of that." I amsam said.
Milburn suggested that a balance between helping and reporting was possible.

"You want to portray that you do care about them," said Milburn.

GENEVA. SWITZERLAND
Aid groups said Tuesday they are launching an emergency operation to help thousands of people who have crossed into Ethiopia to escape fighting in southeastern Sudan.
The International Organization for Migration said most of the estimated 20,000 refugees are stranded on the border with little food, water or shelter.
The U.N. refugee agency said, according to its staff, people are still entering from Sudan's Blue Nile state, where fighting erupted last week between government forces and rebels.
The clashes broke out Thursday between armed forces and rebels linked to the northern wing of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement.
NKARA. TURKEY
Turkey's prime minister said Tuesday his nation's navy will step up its surveillance of the eastern Mediterranean Sea — a move that could potentially lead to confrontation with Israel — and warned of more sanctions against Israel as relations between the former allies deteriorated further.
Turkey has already suspended its vast military ties with Israel, said it is expelling top Israeli diplomats and pledged to lobby other nations in support of the Palestinians' statehood bid after Israel refused to apologize for last year's raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla that killed nine Turkish prison-Palestinian activists.
ISLAMARAD PAKISTAN
A doctor who helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden has been barred from leaving Pakistan, a commission investigating the killing of the al-Qaida leader said Tuesday.
Dr. Shakil Afridi ran a phony vaccination program in the Pakistani town where the al-Qaida leader hid in an effort to obtain a DNA sample from him. Afridi is being detained by Pakistani authorities, but has not been charged with any crime.
American officials want him released, and his fate has become a complicating issue in strained relations between the two country's spy services. There has been speculation Afriadi and his family may leave Pakistan if he is freed.
BEIJING, CHINA
Doctors have successfully separated conjoined twin girls after a six-hour surgery in a Chinese hospital.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday that doctors separated "An An" and "Xin Xin" on Monday at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center. The twins were born in April with connected livers and hearts.
CAMPUS
The report says doctors separated their organs, reshaped their ribs and reconstructed their chest with titanium-alloy plates.
The babies are in stable condition, but are relying on a breathing machine and will require intensive care treatment.

Group focuses on aiding impoverished nations
A new University organization is expecting as many as 50 people at its first meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday in Alderson Auditorium. Adam Nicholson, the University chapter founder and a junior from Lawrence, will be preparing for the meeting.
"The auditorium can hold over 100-plus, so we'll be ready for more, but wed have to start cutting pizza slices in half." Nicholson said.
Nourish International works against poverty by sending students to impoverished countries. It fundraises throughout the year by planning events both on and off campus.
The organization has sent student mission groups from 24 different universities across the nation to countries around the world. According to the website, the effect has been beneficial. The Ohio State University chapter provided
a Peruvian community limited to only contaminated water with clean, drinkable water by installing pipelines and digging reservoirs and also provided a regional health fair.
"Over 300 locals attended the fair in Bello Horizonte to see the dentists, pediatricians, gynecologists and primary-care physicians that volunteered their time," said Mackenzie Rapp, an OSU graduate.
As a student, Sindhura Citineni founded the organization at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 2003. After a few years accompanied by mass success, the student movement grew and spread to other campuses. They established chapters at more than 20 universities, with more colleges adopting the program each year.
Students from Brown University and Cornell University established community-shared organic gardens in El Salvador by providing funds and assisting with physical labor. The chapter from the University
of Pennsylvania trained 10 women with HIV on setting up a papermaking business in Uganda. The Texas A&M chapter hosted educational workshops in Guatemala about agricultural information, including how to use crops to their greatest value, how to build composting latrines and water safety among other things.
Currently, the chapter at Kansas consists of three executive board members. At the information fair during Hawk Week, about 70 students sign up and the chapter is expecting a large turnout at Thursday's meeting. Nicole Lawson, venture director at Kansas and a senior from Shawnee, said the organization has a hands on approach and students can see the effect of their work directly.
"Instead of just studying the problems of the world, through Nourish we are able to be a part of the solution," Lawson said.
Nourish International uses sustainable development projects to
permanently affect the communities it helps. This means the organization's efforts will continue to grow and the communities will be able to self-sustain long after their physical labor has finished.
"We want and need diversity for this group to perform to its full potential," Nicholson said. "Real life is happening right now. The world doesn't stop spinning to wait for you to graduate. You can literally change the world while you're still in college."
The group is adamant about connecting with a wide range of students.

Regis Philbin on Tuesday announced his final date with "Live! With Regis and Kelly"; it'll be Nov. 18, the Friday before Thanksgiving.
In January, Philbin announced he'd be stepping away from his 28-year morning gig, joking that, "There is a time that everything must come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people."
Sources told TMZ at the
The detail came after Monday's kickoff of the show's new season, which has been dubbed Philbin's "Celebration Farewell Season" and includes plans for months of trivia contests and flashback clips from the last 28 years.
time that the decision came after ABC execs told his agent the host's next contract would include a pay cut. Philbin, whodumped his longtime agency a day after announcing his plans to leave "Live!" denied that assertion, saying hed actually made up his mind to leave "a long time ago."
On Monday, Kelly Ripa took offense to the 80-year-old host referring to the eventuality of "our final show," pointing out that the morning talker would go on after his departure. Ripa pulled up a seat next to Reege in 2001, permanently filling a spot left vacant by Kathie Lee Gifford in 2000.
"You mean the show isn't wrapping up?" joked a faux-flummed Philbin.

Drunken man bites pet snake
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A snake bite in a north Sacramento neighborhood left the victim seriously hurt, but the injured party isn't whom you'd expect.
Police say a python underwent emergency surgery after a man allegedly bit the creature twice.
Officers were called to Del Paso Heights around 6:30 p.m. Thursday after a passer-by reported that a man was lying on the ground and may have been assaulted, according to Sgt. Andrew Pettit. When they arrived, they found David Senk, 54, still laying there — but police say he wasn't the one who was assaulted.
Another man approached officers and accused Senk of taking two bites out of his 3-foot pet python. Pettit said.
Senk was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile and booked on $10,000 bail.
In a jailhouse interview on Friday, Senk said he had no memory of the incident and that he has a drinking problem.
"I did what?" Senk said. "If you find the owner, tell him I'm real sorry. ... I'm willing to help pay for medical expenses."
The snake was turned over to the city's Animal Care Services, where it was recovering Friday after losing several ribs. The female python, about a couple years old, had extensive bite injuries, said
Gina Knepp, acting animal care services manager.
"You could see the poor snake's liver, all the way down the side," Knepp said.
The snake's owner has not yet come forward to claim the pet or file a report with animal care officials, Knepp said.

Senate deserves credit for dining expansion
Freshmen may not be aware but, once upon a time, lunch was never an easy thing to accomplish if you chose to dine within the Underground. Too often, overwhelming numbers of ravenous people would flood the limited space available, leaving some students with no place to sit except on the outside steps of Wescoe.
Now however, thanks to Student Senate and our student fees, a much-needed expansion
of 3,000 square feet is reaping benefits for students and staff. The expansion project that was completed over summer break cost about $478,000 and if you ask us, it was money well spent.
- Strolling in around noon before the addition would ensure you a colossal crowd. But now between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., you have significantly less difficulty getting coffee and/or lunch, with time to spare.
Jason Arnett, general manag
"The flow of people through the entrance and seating areas is much improved and we have heard positive comments from students and faculty and staff," Arnett said.
er of the Underground, said he is very pleased with the expansion of the Underground.
Anyone who is grateful for this necessary expansion must give serious props to Michael Wade-Smith, former student body president and Megan Ritter, former vice president of Student Senate, who proposed this project last spring. We give them credit for identifying a problem, finding an ideal solution, and executing their plans with positive results.
It's encouraging to see Student Senate operate successfully on an important project that directly affects students. This year's student leaders, led by student body president Libby Johnson and vice president Gabe Bliss,
should use the Underground project as a blueprint to accomplish more this year.
Smaller lines, less people impinging on each other's space and a more comfortable atmosphere leads to an accommodating Underground that students want to, and will, frequent.

Pretty please local ads, cut the crap
Local commercials are an inevitable evil and a blot on our good society.
A well-made commercial can actually be an amazing feat of storytelling; advertisers attempt to relate a tale in a lowly 30 second spot while having to sell a product saying "Nike" or "Do the Dew" repeatedly. In the end, there is probably only 15-20 seconds when taking into account the requisite close-ups on the product.
Now, often, the idea of making a commercial interesting is completely eschewed. For example, cars meandering around mountains
By Jerod Kilgore jkilgore@kansan.com
while a voiceover explains that, and saying how just like last month, APR financing is the lowest it has been in years. But there are times when either telling a story or creating a mood is done so effectively in a short time that it becomes an indelible memory.
This is a plea to local commercials to step up their game. You don't need to have high production value, or expensive cameras (although I wouldn't pick a fight if you did), but
if you could tone down the general crappiness that seems to come with every local decorating, car, lumber or food commercial, that would be great.
Here are some tips: don't use stock footage and don't try to be funny like those quirky Spangles ads. Honestly, I hate to give any free advertising to a business that already runs ads 24/7 despite having only a few establishments in the city, but no send-up of local commercials would be complete without roasting these paragons of terribleness. These are perpetual rug burns on our television watching experience serve a
main purpose of being comedy fodder for all the couch comedians.
Even though most people think of those particular skits when complaining about local commercials, there are other perpetrators. It seems many of these other offenders try to sell their product by using still images that look like they came from a Google image search for "poorly rendered photos" and adding a voice-over until it fills 30 seconds.
I suppose that I cannot merely complain and should offer solutions. For one, always hire actors; don't ever use the owner of the establishment as an actor unless they're unusually charismatic and comfortable in front of the camera. And don't follow Spangles' lead of being so incredibly stupid it becomes memorable because unless you're a pop star, not all publicity is good publicity. Unfortunately, we can never rid ourselves of these zits in the ear of society, but maybe we can manage to live in a world where they're just a little less awful.

GOP canidates seem to forget evolution is not 'just a theory'
On Aug. 18, Texas governor and GOP candidate Rick Perry told a boy at a campaign event in New Hampshire that evolution is "just a theory" with "gaps in it." Later, he added "God is how we got here." If you find this ridiculous, his stance on global warming is no better. He believes global warming is based on scientists manipulating data for fiscal support. It is evident that the divide between Democrats and Republicans is changing to a science versus anti-science party with Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul also showing disbelief toward evolution.
By Monica Saha
msaha@kansan.com
Why? Because it is a fact. Evolution happened, happens, and is happening every day.
This skepticism on evolution reaches further than the GOP. According to a 2009 Gallup study, only 39 percent of Americans said they believed in evolution. If a vast majority of Americans are either uncertain or cynical toward evolution, school must teach it as a fact.
When scientists or professors refer to evolution as a "theory," they
do not mean that it is a speculation. It is a scientific theory similar to how gravity is the reason you don't fall off the earth. You won't find me testing the theory of gravitation by jumping off a cliff. Most of us need visual facts and empirical evidence to prove a theory. There is enough evidence accumulated these last two centuries that indeed proves that evolution occurred.
To name a few, we can thank Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel, and Eugene Dubois for this evidence. Fossil records show that humans share physical similarities that are derived from a common ancestor. For example, humans, frogs, bats and rabbits share the same set of
bones — the humerus, the radius and the ulna. The way each organism uses them is different, reflecting diverse lifestyles (hence the word "evolve").
If it seems like evolution cannot be observed, look at the evolution happening today. We can see evolution on the microbial level. Chemicals that we introduce to our environment to kill
organisms lead to even stronger organisms such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, drug-resistant HIV, and DDT-resistant insects. If you add Chemical X or toxins on your plant so a bug will not eat it, the bug will evolve its defense system so the bug can still eat the plant. This means the chemical is ineffective and thus the insect is resistant to it.
If microbiology bores you, think about macroevolution with species such as your pet. From selective breeding, domesticated dogs evolved from wolves.
We, the members of this party, hold this truth as self-evident that the evolution theory is false. So, it may not and cannot be accepted by any of our members.
I barely surfaced on all the proof on evolution. With all this evidence, it is nearly impossible to disprove it. Accept it. This is not to say that science and religion cannot co-exist. Many scientists believe in God as well. A few believe evolution does not contradict the idea of God, but enlarges it. What if evolution is God's tool? Maybe a divine entity used evolution as a technique to create the world.
Mohammad Ataei
There is not a direct correlation on a politician's success to his view on evolution. However, if he believes it is a mere theory and scientists skew data for research funding, is this person you want to run your country, a person who negates facts and logic?

SOCCER
Goalies compete for coveted starting spot
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Nearly every college soccer program is happy putting one efficient goalkeeper in the net, let alone two.
Junior Kat Liebetrau knows the ins and outs of the Division 1 stage. She is a crafty veteran who scrapes and claws for each save.
Freshman Kaitlyn Stroud is a lanky player whose athletic frame makes it tricky for any striker to get a ball past her net.
Both players have their own unique qualities and neither express any animosity toward her teammate for starting minutes.
"Of course it's competition, but we leave on the field and we come off the field as friends." Stroud said. "It's been really great. Obviously there's time where she's strong in some things, I'm strong in some things."
Associate coach Kelly Miller instructs the goalkeepers throughout the week on tactics. Miller has been on the Kansas coaching staff for 13 years.
"Their competitiveness in terms of both wanting playing time certainly helps drive both of them to
their highest potential," he said.
Throughout weekly practices, the goalkeepers practice individually or as a pair with Miller, working on their technical skills, sometimes an hour before the team convenes for training.
Miller said in all his years he's never seen a race between keepers this tight, where each one deserves equal minutes. He said that since both goalies are playing so well the two of them have made that decision for the coaching staff.
Stroud was in goal for the Jayhawks' lone loss of the season, but Liebetrau has given up two more goals than Stroud overall.
At this point they're both eager to get the team's first shutout of the season, which may be the only blemish on the Jayhawks resume thus far.
"We're both fighting really hard for the starting spot," Liebetrau said. "We're both doing really well. We're both neck and neck. Honestly, everyone wants playing time."
Both players try to keep the same frame of mind when it comes to playing between the pipes.
"We know we've been competing and we both have the same mental
attitude, but it's a good drive for us," Liebietrau said. "Individually it makes us stronger and it makes work harder in practice."
For Miller, he sees two similar performers, but there is a vast difference when it comes to the stat sheet. Liebetrau holds a major advantage in career minutes.
"She's a little more even-keeled and not getting too emotional," he said. "Kaitlyn being new to it is definitely learning. In her freshman year she can be emotional, but that can also aid you."
This is why Miller stresses the importance of vocal communication for the young defensive squad that stands in front of them.
"As a goalkeeper, you are seeing the whole field, and so you can organize everyone," he said. "Their relationship with either goalkeeper is great."
As the girls get acquainted with balancing their school schedules and hording off offenders, they want to make sure they continue to stay focused on day-to-day improvements on the field.

Statistics for Northern Illinois do not tell the whole story
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
twitter.com/UDK_B12Fball
The Kansas Jayhawks ran all over the McNeese State defense in the season opener, amassing 301 yards on the ground. In week two, they will face Northern Illinois, a team that surrendered 303 yards to Army in their first game.
As good as that match-up looks on paper for the Jayhawks, it will be more difficult than the numbers would suggest.
"Northern Illinois has a great defense, but the one thing about
Army is they present a different type of offense, the wishbone. It's a little bit different," Reggie Mitchell, running back coach, said.
The wishbone offense relies heavily on the run and rarely uses the pass. This can obscure numbers for teams that run the wishbone. Against Northern Illinois, Army ran the ball 63 times while passing the ball 16 times.
"With us, it's going to be more conventional. We're doing a lot of the same things they're doing on offense so it'll be interesting to see if we can run the ball as well as we did last week," Mitchell said.
The layhawks put up a similar run to pass ratio as Army in their opener, but it wasn't the offensive scheme that led them there. Chuck Long, offensive coordinator, said the team was fortunate not to have to open up their playbook in the first game and that they were able to hold some things back for future opponents.
When they did pass, the Jayhawks passed effectively. The rushing attack opened up receivers downfield. Although he only attempted 10 passes, sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb threw for three touchdowns in the game.
and averaged 20.8 yards per completion.
"It makes it a lot easier on me. The coverage's start coming down, and we get shots over the top, then it's up to me to hit them and the receivers to catch them," Webb said.
The Javhawks' offense could be without two of its primary receivers come Saturday. Senior Daymond Patterson is listed as questionable heading into the match-up and sophomore Christian Matthews was suspended for violating team rules.
Northern Illinois is in its first
year under new coach Dave Doeren. Doeren was previously the defensive coordinator for Wisconsin:
This transition forces the Kansas staff to analyze old Wisconsin game film to get an understanding of how Doeren likes to run his offense, especially when his first game was against such a different style of offense.
Unlike last week's opponent, Northern Illinois is not as big of a blitzing team. Long said that Doeren likes to keep everything in front of him.
you're usually going to fall back to what you know when its all said and done," Long said.
"He's had a very consistent defensive nature in every game.
Northern Illinois will give the Jayhawks all the trouble they can to prevent them from going more than 300 yards again.
"If I ever heard a team gave up 300, I feel like we can also do it because, I don't know who they played last week, but I don't think they have a backfield that's as strong as ours," freshman running back Darrian Miller said.

New swimming director appointed
The Kansas Athletic Department appointed Tegan Thornberry as the new swimming and
diving director of team operations this week. She will act as a liaison with student athlete services, coordinate team travel and
travel and work
Thornberry
with coaches submitting weekly practice logs to compliance.

"We are excited Tegan will
be joining our staff," said coach Clark Campbell. "She has worked with us before for certain events and was a great asset."
Working for the Kansas Athletics Department since August of 2003, Thornberry also serves the same position for track and field and cross country teams. Thornberry was previously responsible for managing the travel of the school's Olympic sports. Now that Thornberry has been assigned this full-time position, Campbell believes recruitment will improve
"Now, she can help on a day-to-day basis with meet
management, travel and several other duties. Tegan on staff will allow Jen (Fox), Eric (Elliott) and me to coach and recruit more effectively," said Campbell.
Born in Seoul, South Korea and graduating from Saint Thomas Aquinas High School, Thornberry played softball and golf in high school.Thornberry attended the University of Kansas and was a member of the women's golf team. While she was in college, Thornberry was also a manager for the Kansas men's basketball team.

THE MORNING BREW
America should give Rugby a chance
E
Earlier this year, I found myself aboard a cruise ship exploring the Caribbean. While I was out at sea, I decided to lock myself in my cabin and tune into the March Madness action. As I was flipping through the channels, I came across a rugby match. On any other day, I probably would have blown right past it and gone on to find something else to watch. But no, today was different. For once I was not going to be an egocentric American, and I was going to immerse myself into a sport that I had never really watched before.
Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
It didn't take long before I found myself glued to the TV.
"Oh man, this is great." I said to myself.
To my surprise, my hand had yet to reach for the remote. As the match went on, I started to wonder why such an exciting sport like rugby has yet to take
off in America. I don't understand how a sport that combines both football and soccer principles gets virtually no recognition in the States. It has everything the average American sports fan wants in a game: skill, intensity, high scoring, a great fan base and pure brutality. Rugby is an 80-minute
bloody battle for the ball. No bulky pads, no TV time-outs every two seconds, just 30 guys on a field and non-stop adrenaline.
The only logical reason why its popularity might not be as high in America as the rest of the world is because we already have our own version of rugby in the
States: football. While the game is not identical, it wouldn't be hard to pick out the similarities.
As Americans, we have allowed football into our homes every Sunday from August to January. It has become a part of our culture, and has brought family and friends together every week. For three hours, people can forget about their worries and eat, drink and yell at the TV. We have built this sport up so much over the years that if you were to ask someone what three things come to mind when talking about America, they would probably say freedom, fast food and football. Football is also a
huge money maker that creates job opportunities and strengthens the nation's economy. For example, if you wanted to buy a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl, you would have to dish out roughly $3 million. So sadly, I don't see rugby taking over our homes anytime soon, which is really a shame because it is an awesome sport. If you're one of the many out there (myself included) who don't know much about the sport, I highly recommend you check it out.

business career fair

Not every student-athlete will line up at wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday like Dezmon Briscoe or hoop with the Memphis Grizzlies like Xavier Henry, Darrell Arthur and Josh Selby.
Forty-one businesses from varying lines of work will set up interactive tables for
student-athletes looking for a profession outside of sports at Career Development Night on Monday, Sept. 26 in the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, adjacent to the east side of Allen Fieldhouse.
"Many of the University's career fairs occur during practice times, making it difficult for our student-athletes to participate," Kelly Watson Muther, director of career services, said in a release.
"So we hope our kids will take advantage of interacting with top recruiters in the area during times that work with their crazy schedules."
Those interested in the event can pre-register by visiting kuathletics.com or by emailing Muther at kwm@ku.edu. Professional dress and several copies of resumes are recommended.

Kansas creates tradition
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
It's clear the Kansas Athletics Department understands this because they've added a four-foot-high, 700-pound bronze Jayhawk statue that sits on a base that is 40 inches high.
In the game, the lajahawks run out of the tunnel into Memorial Stadium with no schooner ahead of them, no sign to tap, and no animal on the sidelines. But that won't be the case for next year's version.
In the college football world, tradition and branding are two major components to building a program.
major emphasis for this year's version of NCAA Football 12, EEA Sports' annual college football game, was to immerse its users in the true college game day experience. They did so by bringing teams' pregame traditions into the game.
The statue is an impressive three-dimensional bronze image of the current Jayhawk Kansas uses. It sits openly outside of the Anderson Football Complex, with the hill and campanile looking down on it.
When you play as Kansas, there is nothing.
It may not be anything groundbreaking, but it's a start.
When you play at Texas, Bevo is there as the Longhorns run out of the tunnel. In Oklahoma, the Sooner Schooner leads the team out of the tunnel when you play in Norman. And at Notre Dame, you see the players tap the "play like a champion today" sign.
The players and coaches will tap, rub, kiss, or do whatwe helps as they walk out of their locker room and onto the field.
Edited by Jonathan Shorman
As for now, it's off to a 1-0 start in its attempt to create something new for Kansas football.
While the statue is by no means a well-known college football tradition, in 50 years if the statue is still around, it may be one. It may be the pride of Kansas football when the team walks onto the field, or it may become a joke about what the Kansas football program has become.
The hope is that recruits, players, and fans alike will respect the Kansas football name more than they ever have before.
The tradition and branding has to begin somewhere. Kansas wants the Jayhawk to be an intimidating figure on their side. When Kansas football players rub the Jayhawk, they're supposed to know they're going to win that game.
They are trying to encourage the players when they walk on the field. They are trying to get the fans riled up and loud when they witness the weekly event of the players touching the bronze Jayahwk.
When opponents see Kansas players tap the lajayhaws' beak on their way into Memorial Stadium, they're supposed to believe they are now at a disadvantage.
It happens when Clemson players touch Howard's rock on their way into the stadium and it even happens when the pregame video and music blare out of the speakers at Allen Fieldhouse.
It hasn't happened yet for Kansas football, but by adding the statue, they're trying.
When recruits come to Lawrence to watch a game, they'll see the players walk by the Jayhawk on their way in and out of practice. They'll watch the fans get excited as they see the players walking by the replica Jayhawk.
'PASSION' IS THE WORD

MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Last week's catchphrase was passion. This week it's focus and discipline.
In order to get a message across to his team, coach Turner Gill has created a catch phrase of sorts, a one- to two-word description of how he wants his team to practice all week and execute on Saturday.
When he asked his players for passion against McNeese State, he got just that.
"There was nobody not into the game," Gill said. "They played hard and they played fast."
When sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb limped off the field after taking a hard hit in Saturday's game, he didn't let his backup, senior Quinn Meacham, come in. Webb may have been hurting, but physically he could perform, so he did and he never missed a snap.
Gill's players ran fast to the ball. There would often be two, three, or even four players getting in on a tackle. If a player missed a tackle, a frequent issue in Saturday's game, there would be someone running to the ball to limit the damage.
This week, with the key words being focus and discipline, Gill and his staff are trying to limit those mistakes, such as missing
a tackle, now knowing that they have the "passion" to back it up.
"We've got to be a lot more focused; disciplined on a lot more of the smaller details," Gill said. "I want to make sure our guys are on tune, because they are very, very good on the offensive side of the ball."
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson led the team with, 15 tackles, a personal record for Johnson, the team's top tackler from 2010.
While Johnson had a career day, he did miss tackles, as did the rest of the defense, and showed there are still plenty of ways to improve.
"We'll work on our technique
more this week," Johnson said. "Using your technique, being able to stay low, and even your alignment is how you can eliminate mistakes."
A portion of the spotlight of improved focus and discipline this week shines on freshman safety Keeston Terry, Terry, a former receiver, has the potential to be a big-time playmaker in the secondary, but against McNeese State, the game didn't go as planned.
Terry blew coverage on multiple plays, including a 32-yard touchdown pass McNeese State threw on third and 14.
"We were excited to finally get back out there and get a chance
to play," Terry said. "We'll watch some extra film, be confident in what we're doing, and when we get in practice, we'll do things the right way and it will become muscle memory."
The Jayhawks were able to get away with some small mistakes that are acceptable in a season opener against McNeese State. If those mistakes continue to show up, even in week two against Northern Illinois, they will pay for it.
"This team here can expose you if you don't get those things corrected," Gill said.

Bachmann's nephew discusses family memories and the presidential race
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
JONATHAN SHORMAN
jshorman@kansan.com
As congresswoman Michele Bachmann competed on a national stage at the Republican presidential debate Wednesday night, at least one University student was paying close attention.
Tyler Amble, a sophomore from Shawnee, is an atmospheric science major. He also happens to be Bachmann's nephew.
Bachmann has represented Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District since 2006 and has gained a national reputation as an outspoken Republican candidate. She calls herself a constitutional conservative and has reached out to both tea party supporters and Christian evangelicals in her campaign.
Amble's father, Gary, is a Kansas City television meteorologist on KCTV5 and Michele Bachmann's brother.
In addition to his desire to be a broadcast meteorologist like his father, Amble is also open about his Christian faith and his involvement in YoungLife, a non-denominational ministry for adolescents. Amble participated in the ministry during high school and now helps lead a
youth group for YoungLife.
On Wednesday, Tyler Amble sat down with The Kansan to discuss his memories of Bachmann, his views on her campaign and how his life would change if his aunt becomes the first female president.
Life with prominent family members
u: How did you first become aware of Bachmann's national prominence?
A: Jon Stewart was making fun of some sound bite that she had, and it was like 'whoa.' And just, it kind of, like, hit. Like wow, she was rising through the ranks.
Amble said he fully realized his aunt's fame last year when Bachmann came up in a class discussion and a student was making fun of her.
"And I just kind of, like, slipped in that she was my aunt, and he was like 'Oh, shoot, I'm really sorry.'"
Q: Does it bother you when you hear people criticizing your aunt?
A: Just growing up with my dad on TV, you hear jokes that way. He predicts four inches of snow so kids are expecting a snow day and then we get two, so I get ridiculed that way. You kind of get used to it to a point. And I kind of don't take much of offense to it, especially when it's about her political aspects, because I know
each person has their own political ideology. So that part not so much, but if they go after her as a person, I don't know about that.

Aunt Michele's Campaign
Bachmann's political career has been controversial at times. She suggested at a forum with Sen, Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) Monday that the Department of Education be abolished as unconstitutional. In July, ABC News reported complaints about her husband's psychological clinic, Bachmann & Associates. Some said the clinic treated homosexuality as an illness.
But few deny that she has been successful at drawing media attention and is considered a frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination. One constant in Bachmann's rise to prominence has been her emphasis on religion, an issue that won her support from evangelical

State humane society to charge volunteers
MORGAN SAID editor@kansan.com
Despite the Kansas Humane Society charging volunteers a fee, the Lawrence Humane Society said it will not charge people to volunteer.
As of last Thursday, all new volunteers will be charged a one-time fee of $15 to cover the costs for t-shirts, name badges, access key cards, training materials, facility use and mailing costs, according to the Associated Press. Those 17-year-old or younger or who have previously worked with the organization are exempt from the charge.
Jonathan Cooper, a junior from Lee's Summit, Mo., volunteered at the Lawrence Humane Society his freshman year with his fraternity and understands the benefit the new fee might have.
"My fraternity went there as a big group and I could tell that some people weren't as passionate about it as others," Cooper said. "With the new system, you get people that are really passionate about the animals and people that are really wanting to help them out."
According to the Associated Press, the Humane Society doubled in size when it moved to its new Topeka branch, and the number of volunteers has since quadrupled.
The charge is intended to "weed out people who train, but then don't actually volunteer; increase
a feeling of belonging by making the volunteer group more exclusive; and bring money into cash-strapped nonprofitss," the Associated Press said.
In July alone, there were 5,934 calculated volunteer hours at the Humane Society, the equivalent of $43,022 minimum-wage work, reports the Associated Press.
Dakota Strange, junior from Wichita, also believes that the new charge is a good mechanism for weeding out those who "aren't truly committed."
However, people wanting to help, but who are on a tight budget, may look elsewhere to volunteer, he said.
"It's good for the Humane Society that they have that many volunteers that they can do something like that, but I'm kind of a tight-wad, so I'd look other places." Strange said. "I know that the Humane Society is doing well in their volunteer aspect. If it were a smaller organization that needed more help, I would be willing to pay the $15."
Cooper agrees that some students may look elsewhere to spend the $15 fee.
"While it's only $15, some people may want to do something else with it," Cooper said. "For me though, it's a good $15 because you're donating it to a charitable organization and one that only wants what's best for these animals."

New pro-choice group holds Topeka rally
SARA SNEATH
ssneath@kansan.com
While some KU students may have trouble voicing their concerns, others have no problem speaking out against what they believe is unjust state legislation.
"We picked out the name in mid-June. From there we got a website up," said Wright, a senior from Roeland Park. "It all happened really, really fast, but it had to happen fast. There wasn't a lot of time."
KU students Leslie Goodwin, Haley Miller and Kaylyn Wright founded Speak for Choice in response to a Kansas law passed in June mandating additional regulations for abortion clinics, including regulations on the size of the closets and the temperature of the clinic.
The organization chose to host a rally at the capitol in Topeka on Sept. 7, the same day as a public hearing about the new regulations held by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
"For the past three months,
this has been the main part of our lives," said Miller, a junior from Kingman. "It was a lot of time and effort. All of us have been balancing school and work."
Wright, Miller and Goodwin contacted ally organizations and used social media to get the word out about the event.
"We got a lot of feedback from people not just in Kansas but all

"It all happened really, really fast, but it had to happen fast. There wasn't a lot of time."
"I think it is a hard-enough choice as it is facing an unplanned pregnancy without having to be fearful that the options are limited." Crenshaw said, "We really haven't had to face that possibility since I was about 11 years old."
Wes Crenshaw, a Lawrence family psychologist, was among the other speakers at the event.
Crenshaw said it is time

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA
President Juan Manuel Santos, a University of Kansas alumnus, has replaced Colombia's military chief and also named new army, navy and air force commanders after announcing a new injection of $800 million in defense spending.
The replacement of Adm. Edgar Cely as armed forces chief comes amid stepped up attacks by leftist rebels and rising violence by drug-trafficking right-wing gangs.
The new military chief is Gen. Alejandro Navas, promoted from army chief.

An official said two people were killed during a massive jailbreak by nearly 970 prisoners in southeastern Congo.
Dikanga Kazadi, the information minister of Katanga province, said eight armed men attacked the prison guards in Lumumbashi on Wednesday, allowing the prisoners to flee. He said police have recaptured 152 of the 967 escaped prisoners. He said the armed men were trying to free a militant who was condemned to death.

A private Russian jet carrying a top ice hockey team slammed into a riverbank moments after takeoff Wednesday, killing at least 43 people in one of the worst plane crashes ever involving a sports team. Two other people on board were critically injured.
Both Russia and the world of hockey were left stunned by the deaths of so many international stars in one catastrophic event. The International Ice Hockey Federation said 27 players were killed.

Islamic law conference brings understanding
Nearly 10 years after the 9/11 attacks, the School of Law held a conference yesterday afternoon on understanding the religious and legal traditions behind Islamic law.
Raj Bhala, author of "Understanding Islamic Law," and associate dean
for international and comparative law, discussed the content of his recently published textbook. Bhala's lecture centered mostly on distinguishing between inauthentic, extremist islamic doctrine and authentic Islamic legal doctrine, which comes directly from the Quran.
"Samuel Huntington cannot be
right. We don't want a clash of civilizations any more than we have already," said Bhaala. Huntington was a political scientist who developed a theory in 1992, known as "Clash of the Civilizations," in which he states that the main sources of conflict for the United States would become increasingly cultural.

KU professor Raj Bhala presents a lecture about his new book, "Understanding Islamic Law" yesterday afternoon at the Hall Center for Humanities, 900 Sunnis Side Avenue, to students and guests. Bhala is the first American legal scholar to publish a textbook about Islamic Law.
"The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future." Huntington said.
Bhala said Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world.
"What can a lawyer as a problem solver do?" Bhala asked. Understanding Islamic law, he said, is necessary for solving the problems law students will face in their future careers.
About 60 people were in attendance at the Hall Center for the Humanities for the event, which is part of a full week of events at the University marking the 9/11 attacks.

Q&A
A visit with Mayor Aron Cromwell
DAVID SCOTT
dscott@kansan.com
Q: What are the Lawrence City Commissioners working on now that affects students?
A: Everything we work on impacts KU students, because KU students live in Lawrence. There are a variety of things that are more of an issue: the Oread neighborhood plan. We're talking about boarding house issues and funding for a lighted pathway from KU down the hill for safety issues.
Q: What are some things students should know about the commission?
A: In general, KU students are politically apathetic and always have been. The folks most likely to make a difference on KU students' lives are the city commissioners. There's only five total.
**Q:** What is the most effective way to lobby a commissioner?
A: The easiest way is just to email, but that makes less of an impact than someone who takes the time
to show up to a meeting and talks about what they're interested in.
Q: What's your primary focus as mayor?
A: My primary focus is to get curb-side recycling throughout Lawrence and increasing our overall range of recycling. That's something we're trying to do and we're working in that direction. By the end of the year, we should dramatically improve recycling.
Q: Why did you become mayor?
A: I've always been interested in politics and service. In a way, I wanted to fulfill my civic responsibility. I didn't come into office for this particular job. I didn't have one particular agenda item in the forefront of my mind. It was more like "I think I can do this; I think I would be a good leader."
Q: What are your plans to bring more business downtown?
A: The level of vacancies we're seeing right now are really not that unusual. We always have a certain amount of turnover. We're keeping an eye on it, but it's at a point
where we're horribly concerned
... There's not a lot that needs to be done right now. We need to be careful that we don't do anything that does more harm than good.
Q: What's the best part of being mayor?
A: The best part is having the opportunity to get something done: getting something done that needs to be done, like curb-side recycling. Right now, I'm in a position where I get that accomplished. That's a pretty neat thing about being mayor.
Q: Anything students should know?
A: I'm a KU grad, and I understand how students are really involved in classes and a social life and life on the hill. But there's a whole city that surrounds KU. I think it's important to be aware of it, to be active in it and to offer some volunteer hours — to get involved in your community. If I could ask anything I would ask students to pay attention to the issues and weigh in when there's an issue that's important to them.
STUDENT SENATE
Five freshmen elected to senate in close race
Student Senate welcomes five new members after the freshman senatorial elections concluded Sept. 7.
The 27 candidates split 1,564 votes in a race so close many of the candidates were only separated by one or two votes.
Helm, 99 votes; and Adam Lower, 148 votes.
The new senators are: Mackenzie Oatman, 87 votes; Elizabeth Erker, 87 votes; Kate Watson, 96 votes; Grant
Eker attributes her success to partnering with fellow candidates Helm and Oatman in their campaign strategies. She believes the extra manpower to promote their campaigns along with assistance from their sororities and fraternities was essential in garnering votes.
"Whenever one of us campaigned, we campaigned for the other two as well," Erker said. "It feels good to know
everything paid off."
Kris Velasco, the development director for Student Senate, supports Erker, Helm and Oatman's approach.
"It's so smart," Velasco said. "They tripped their voting base by partnering together."
All of the new senators will be officially recognized during the first full senate meeting on Sept. 14.

GOP presidential candidates debate job creation, economy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"As a matter of fact, George Bush and his predecessors created jobs at a faster rate than you did." Romney shot back at Perry, the 10-year incumbent Texas governor.
Quick to tangle, Republican presidential rivals Rick Perry and Mitt Romney sparred vigorously over job creation and Social Security Wednesday night in a feisty campaign debate that marked a contentious new turn in the race to pick a 2012 challenger to President Barack Obama.
Far more than in earlier GOP debates this summer, the candidates mixed it up in their first faceoff since Perry entered the race and almost instantly overtook Romney as front-runner in opinion polls. Those two — as well as other contenders on stage — sniped at one another, contradicted allegations and interrupted media questioners to demand opportunities to take each other on.
The debate was the first of three in as many weeks, at a time when
"Michael Dukakis created jobs three times faster than you did, Mitt." Perry jabbed in the debate's opening moments, referring to one of Romney's Democratic predecessors as governor of Massachusetts.
the economy is struggling. unemployment is seemingly stuck at 9.1 percent and Obama's popularity is sinking in the polls — all events that could make the GOP nomination worth more than it appeared only a few months ago.
Perry and Romney stood next to each other on the debate stage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, a setting that invoked the memory of the conservative Republican who swept to two terms as president. And for much of the evening, the two men were at the center of the action, largely reducing their rivals to the roles of spectators looking for a way into
the action.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman sided with Perry when he turned to Romney and said, "47th just isn't going to cut it, my friend," a reference to the rank Massachusetts had among the 50 states in creating jobs during Romney's term.
But he also sought to rebut Perry's claim to be chief executive of the country's top job-producing state.
"I hate to rain on the parade of the great Lone Star State governor, but as governor of Utah, we were the No. 1 job creator during my years in service," Huntsman said.

Wiener represents the city's Castro District, where a group of men locals refer to as "the naked guys" is known to strut its stuff, and some residents have grown weary of uncensored views.
"What this does do," Weiner told the San Francisco Chronicle, "is require that people show some basic courtesy and decency toward their fellow citizens when they are naked."

San Francisco nudity could be restricted
Today's Cryptoquip Clue: V equals T
NATIONAL
Something could soon be coming between San Francisco's proud nudists and their unusual freedom to bare it all.
Walking around naked is legal in the city under most circumstances, but a city supervisor concerned about public health and sanitation introduced legislation Tuesday that would require the clothing averse to put a cloth or other barrier under their bottoms if they take a seat in public.
Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would also require nudists to cover up in restaurants.
"To force their conservative views on me isn't fair," he told the Chronicle while sitting on a metal chair in a Castro plaza with a book, a sandwich and a sarong separating his backside from the seat.
San Francisco Police Capt. Greg Corrales said his station often fields complaints about the naked guys, but in the busit isn't illegal in the city unless the person exhibits signs of sexual arousal. In that case, the behavior could be charged as lewd conduct.

Under Weiner's proposal, failing to cover a public seat or going into a restaurant naked would carry a $100 fine for the first offense and a $200 fine for a second offense within a year. A third offense would be charged as a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine and a year's jail time.
displays of nutidity need to examine why they have issues with the human body.
If a member of the public makes a citizen's arrest, police also could charge a nudist with being a public nuisance. But such complaints almost never happen. Corrales said.

In the 20-page civil complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Lanisha Cole names the producers of the popular game show, Michael G. Richards and Adam Sandler (who are not related to the well known, actor-comedians that share the same names) as well as their production company, Fremantle Media North America.
A former model on "The Price Is Right" game show filed a lawsuit Wednesday alleging wrongful termination and sexual harassment by producers who continually humiliated and berated her, according to court papers.

Cole began working on the "Price is Right" in 2003 and by all accounts enjoyed a normal work environment over half a dozen years. But beginning in December 2009, the situation began to deteriorate when Richards suddenly and inexplicably stopped speaking to Cole and began showing favoritism to another model with whom he was having a relationship, the suit alleges.
According to the court papers, Richards used policies "which never before existed" to limit her modeling work on the show and engaged in abusive behavior.
"This case is about senior-level men in the entertainment industry exploiting power and control over women by bullying and harassing female talent," said Cole's attorney, Solomon Gresen. "Ms. Cole did nothing to provoke Richards and Sandler. Once the harassment began, she was powerless to stop it."
PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER
Gresen said models often perform without microphones, citing cases when a wardrobe change consumes too much time to properly equip models with sound, the suit said.
She cited an incident in September 2010 when Sandler allegedly burst into Cole's dessing room despite a "Knock Before Entering" sign and castigated her for failing to wear a microphone.
"Sandier deliberately humiliated Ms. Cole in front of her peers." Greed said of his client, who was naked from the waist up and clad only in "a very sheer thong hikki underwear bottom."

Degrees don't guarantee jobs
The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is still below the national average, hovering between four and five percent. But as a report by Rutgers University's John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development reveals, only 53 percent of recent college graduates are employed full time. Also, salaries for those fortunate graduates have fallen 10 percent since pre-recession 2007. Graduates are defaulting on loans now more than ever because they can't find a
If you think you can land a high salary job and pay off your student loans comfortably just by cruising through classes and earning a degree, you're wrong.
Along with internships and extracurricular clubs, students should also take advantage of volunteer opportunities and consider adding another major or minor to their undergraduate profile.
job or the job doesn't pay well enough. You don't want to fall into that group.
Students need more than a degree to compete in today's tough job market. The University's academic departments have resources that can help guide the resume-building process, but becoming a more well-rounded candidate for employers after graduation boils down to two main opportunities for students: internships and extra-curricular activities.
If you don't know where to go, start at the University's main career center located in room 110 of the Burge Union. This is a diverse world that craves more from you. Be ready before you hit the workforce by applying to internships and taking active roles in clubs and organizations across campus.
Career experts from all corners of the University also believe that just getting your bachelor's degree isn't good enough. Dave Byrd-Stadler, the coordinator for business
administration said internships are essential for students. The Rutgers report found that recent graduates with a previous internship receive $6,680 more in median salary than graduates who didn't. Byrd-Stadler also stressed that extracurricular clubs and organizations can complement a student's major.
"Employers often value experience from professional clubs," he said.
From English to engineering internship opportunities are available for any major. Students should take advantage of the University's career centers, which are tailored for many of the major academic departments.
The career development coordinator for the School of Journalism, Patty Noland, echoed Byrd-Stadler's emphasis on internships and clubs. Without an internship, graduates" chances of being hired are slim." Noland said.
Although participating in internships is key to building experience in a discipline, extracurricular clubs give forums for networking with upperclassmen, professionals and employers. Many professional trade organizations have official student chapters. If applying for internships doesn't work for you, then take a leadership role in a national organization at the University.

ENTERTAINMENT
Lysen: Clichéd television dramas meet their match
Television is full of clichés, and it always will be. I used to make fun of all the clichéd drama shows with my previous roommate. We wanted to start our own show called "Cop Drama" which would consist of only making fun of all the ridiculous events on shows like "CSI: (Some Large American City)." "Criminal Minds" and "Law & Order."
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Since network television producers make their money solely from advertisement, they have to attract the largest audience possible, therefore hindering their ability to be artistic or different. Thus, they produce many clichés. The less risk the networks take, the larger the audience will be.
The best way for networks to take less risk is to copy shows that are popular and hope to attract those same viewers. America seems to love cop dramas, so every major network and even some cable networks have jumped on the bandwagon. Every cop-drama episode seems to have the same storyline; mysterious murder, catch a suspicious person to interrogate, that person ends up being innocent, find more clues, catch the real bad guy because of a twist
that came out of nowhere, bad guy tells us why he did it.
The clichéd format is a lot like "Scooby Doo." There is always a twist, and the mystery is always solved. And they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling forensic investigation team.
Even if this is clichéd, it may be the reason America loves these shows so much. Americans want to believe that their police force can catch any bad guy. And no bad guy is getting away in "24."
Enter: Paul Scheer.
Paul Scheer is a comedian most recognizable for the large gap between his two front teeth. He can be seen on the television show "The League," and has guest starred on "Parks and Recreation."
Scheer somehow heard my ideas as if they were prayers and started his own show on
Adult Swim named "National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle" (or "NTSF: SD: SUV" for short). NTSF is a 15-minute comedy show that focuses on all the clichés of network cop dramas while also making fun of pop-culture events. In the first episode of the series, the NTSF gang has to team up with the Food and Drug Administration to stop students of the local college from drinking an alcoholic beverage that causes the drinkers to become so drunk they combust (alluding to the Four Loko controversy).
It seems as if NTSF's main goal is to be as ridiculous as possible — even adding Sports Utility Vehicle to the title because the main character drives one — much like movies that make fun of cliched film genres such as the "Scary Movie" series and "Not Another Teen Movie."
As long as there are cliches, (removes sunglasses and looks at the camera for dramatic affect) there will always be someone there to make fun of them.

Phone application connects gay men
Grindr is a location-based social media application for gay men used on Apple, Android and Blackberry phones. The app uses GPS technology to detect where other Grindr users are in the area, making it the most tech-savvy way of hooking up since Facebook chat. The company just announced its plans to create a version for straights.
But is it cool or creepy?
By James Castle
jc堡垒@kansan.com
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GRIND
Do you have a Grindr? Do you Grind? Wanna get Grounded? Every gay guy I know has an account on Grindr (I don't have one, but only because I'm not fancy enough to own an iPhone).
It sounds really creepy, the fact that complete strangers can find out exactly how close they are to each other and possibly meet up for coffee and exchange dialogue or bodily fluids (cue awful techno remix). But it doesn't have to be, as long you remember to respect boundaries.
Most people don't wear their sexual identities on their sleeves, and a lot of people don't have the desire or time to mingle at clubs and bars, so Grindr can be a great way to meet friends who are in close proximity. You can also make fun of peoples' penis pictures and send them to all your friends in a mass text.
But be sure to approach people respectfully and to be aware of the implicit messages you are sending. Starting conversations off with sexual advances may be off-putting to a lot of people, and if you try to attract people with pictures of your naked body, you will probably get other naked bodies. If you use nice photos, you are more likely to attract nice people. Even when you're hiding behind your phone, your actions still count.
Castle is a senior in political science from Stilwell.
DON'T GRIND
I have heard about Grindr these past few months almost more than I have heard about Facebook. That's saying something. Most gay guys who use it, from what I hear, love it. I am quite opposed to it, though.
My friend and I were out to eat on Massachusetts Street a while ago and some guy message him on Grindr. He was only yards away. I find it incredibly creepy that you can see how far away people are from you. I kept looking around to see if some pirat or robber was going to come grab us or hold us up. Maybe it's just because I'm paranoid, but come on, it could happen.
It's not just because of my paranoidia that I don't like it. It's just another way for people to meet other people online. And I hate that. I might be old-fashioned, but I think people should meet and face talk-to-face. Yes, sometimes texts or emails are the best way to communicate, but that's with people you already know.
People can be so fake online. My friend was talking to a guy on Grindr and his picture only showed his abs. Not going to lie, it was a hot six-pack. But, then I started thinking, what if that was just to get guys to talk to him? He wanted people to think he was hot and all that, but maybe he was actually the exact opposite.
People can be anyone they want to be online, including on Grindr. So the girl you may be talking to on Grindr who seems hot and awesome could be anyone: a stalker, a nerd or even a girl. "Sayin'."

SAFETY
Make good decisions following a night out
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Having a few drinks at the bar and then driving or walking home might seem like a normal way for students to blow off steam at the end of a stressful week, but it can put their safety at risk.
"The biggest threat facing students is bad decision making after drinking alcohol," said Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
To stay safe, Bailey recommends using the buddy system, drinking in moderation and using SafeBus or SafeRide instead of walking home.
SafeBus and SafeRide provide students with a safe way of getting home from areas of Lawrence.
"That could be studying late, working in a studio after hours and not having any other way to get home other than walking in the
dark," said Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU Parking and Transit. "Other students use it when they shouldn't be driving anymore, if they've had too much to drink."
This year, SafeBus also runs on Thursday nights instead of only Friday and Saturday nights as in previous years. Kaiser said. SafeBus has six buses driving on three routes with stops on campus, including Daisy Hill, downtown and South Iowa. SafeRide is a car service that will take students home from anywhere in Lawrence, but cannot drop them off at any other location.
Students who decide to walk home should avoid making the trip alone and stay aware of their surroundings.
"If you do walk home, do so in groups and don't take shortcuts through unlit or dark areas," Bailey said.
Neha Wahid, a sophomore from
Overland Park, has never felt unsafe on campus or in Lawrence, but thinks it's smart for students to take safety precautions. She said carrying pepper spray is a good idea, particularly because women are more vulnerable to attacks than men.
Staying safe is often the result of following your instincts, according to the KU Public Safety website. Bailey suggests that if somebody makes you feel uncomfortable, you should leave or get away from the situation. Bailey said that if you do become part of a crime, be practical.
"If you find yourself the victim of a robbery, give the person what they ask for and become a good witness, taking in details about the person to help police find him later," he said.

Safety quick tips
Walk on established paths. Shortcuts through fields and alleys may not be safe Know the locations of emergency phones on campus.
Know the number. SafeRide: 785.864.7233
Look around your car when walking toward it. If anybody is around it, don't approach it. Check to make sure nobody is hiding inside before entering.
Have house or car keys in your hand when going toward the door to cut down on the length of time spent standing and looking outside of a locked door.
Keep car doors locked to prevent anyone from entering your car when it is stopped a intersections or in traffic.

to Amble. He said the Bachmann we see on television is very much like the one he grew up with.
BACHMANN FROM 11
A: Politics? Not that closely, I'll be honest. Her career? As much as I can.
Q: Do you follow politics closely?
U: Has your family been involved in the campaign directly?
A: Not really so far. We've been kind of busy ourselves. We haven't been too involved in the campaign, just trying to keep up as much as we can.
Q: How close are you to your aunt?
A: Her being in Minnesota and having five kids and us being in Kansas City makes it kind of difficult. But I definitely still have memories with her growing up. I would go up, in elementary school, the beginning of middle high. Just going and hanging out at her house.
I went up this past summer and got a chance to talk to her a couple of days prior to her announcing that she was going to run for president. She sat me down, and she just wanted to know about my life for, like, 20 minutes. It was really cool to see that she's still that same person, that caring individual.
A: Oh, yeah. She was really excited for it. And her whole family was on the verge of getting really excited about what was about to take place.
Q: Did she seem in good spirits?
Q: How could you tell Bachmann was a caring individual?
A: It was the care and the love that she showed people. And it was everyone, not just family. When wed go out to church, she would show it to everyone she saw, which brings that naturalness to a person. It draws people to her.
Q: Has she always been that way?
A: Yes. She's always been very charismatic and very engaging.
Q: You saw her this past summer?
A: It was my grandmother's 80th birthday. So we went up, and there was a party going on there. I even had a little time where I swing danced with Michele.
Q: Do you share her religious beliefs?
A: I'd say we're pretty similar in our theology. I don't know exactly some of her minor details about it, but for the most part with going out in the community and being active. And she was actually a YoungLife leader growing up.
**U:** Does your involvement in YoungLife come from your family?
A: That was actually something that I picked up in high school, but it was kind of cool to see that connection between her and I. I found that out this past summer.
Q: Are politics a topic of conversation with Bachmann and the family?
A: Politics was never brought up, until this summer. I mean, that's obviously catching steam, I guess. People are questioning stuff at family gatherings. Even this past summer, not much was brought up except what was going to take place on the campaign.
u: To you, she's the same off-camera or on.
A: She really is. She doesn't really have a TV voice, nothing changes there. Everything, verbally, is exactly the same. When you're watching her on TV, it kind of feels like she's talking to you. And that's the way whether it's in a crowd or just one-on-one. So she's just gifted in that aspect.
A: Sometimes rumors get out. But I think Marcus is incredible how he's been able to handle that household. He is definitely still the head of the household. He's the man of the house. And he's just impressive with his love and his care giving, and own personal sacrifice toward Michele's career. With Michele living in D.C. now for most of the year, and him having to bring the last three girls through high school, with him being the
Q: What are your impressions of Marcus Bachmann (Michele Bachmann's husband)?
only parent in the household. I'm impressed by Marcus.
Q: What's he like?
A: He is actually a funny guy. He's got this contagious laugh, and it's very a belly laugh. He's very much like Michele in that he's engaging. He'll look you in the eye when you're talking to him and you know he's completely there.
Future involvement
Q: Going forward, do you see yourself getting more involved as the campaign progresses?
A: I don't know that I'll actually get physically involved in the campaign. I definitely will follow it even more closely. Even with my schedule, I don't know that I'll have time to give toward the campaign. But mentally, I'll definitely be there.
Q: She'll have an event in Kansas City later this month. Do you plan to attend that?
A: I plan on attending that with my family. If anything comes through Kansas City, I'll definitely try and make it a priority.
u: How do you see your life changing if Bachmann is elected president?
A: My life would definitely change. I don't know how dramatically it would change, but I'm sure in one way or another it would. It would be the first woman president. It would be my aunt as president. I definitely don't know the dynamics behind it but the impact would be great. I'm sure of having that. And it would be pretty cool to say.
**U:** How might your involvement in politics change in the future?
A: I've never been too huge on politics. This has definitely been a situation that's created interest for me, I suppose, but I don't see, going forward, me being too involved in politics one way or the other, whether she wins or doesn't.

VOLLEYBALL
Riley learned the hard way: Volleyball is a contact sport
MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
Volleyball may not be considered a contact sport in the traditional use of the term, but try telling sophomore libero Brianne Riley it's not as physical as some of its padded counterparts.
Riley made contact of a different kind last season when she slammed her head against the hardwood going for a dig. The violent tumble gave her a concussion, which put her on the bench for several games.
Since returning to the starting lineau, Rilev has exhibited the same
aggressiveness she showed during her freshman season before her injury. During the Jayhawks' (6-0) three weekend victories, Riley made a team-leading 7 digs.
Riley said the physicality and danger of volleyball is often overlooked by those outside the sport.
"I think because it's not a contact sport, people don't view it as a dangerous sport," Riley said. "But when you've got a ball coming 70 miles per hour at your face, you've got to be able to get your hands up and protect yourself. You've got to learn the proper techniques to rolling and diving." Riley said.
Coach Ray Bechard said he has
specific drills in practice aimed at teaching the players the proper way to hit the deck.
MIKF GIUNNOF/KANSAN
"Sometimes it's all-out play and you've got to go, but there is a method to the madness," Bechard said. "You can either melt yourself into the floor, or you can plop yourself onto the floor. And trust me, melting into the floor is a lot easier on your body than trying to bruise the floor."

Sophomore defensive specialist Brianne Riley bumps the ball to a teammate Saturday. Riley led the team with 12 digs in the victory.
Most of the injuries on the court occur when players are pursuing 50/50 balls, Bechard said. It is common for two players to make contact when they both claim the ball. Bechard agrees with Riley that the dangerous aspects of volleyball are often underplayed.
"You've got six people on our space and you have five basketball players on a much bigger space," Bechard said. "So there is that opportunity for injury, and that's why communication is so important. The speed of the game makes communication during volleyls critical."
Bechard said when he names a team libero, he is looking for someone, like Riley, who has tremendous communication skills, good range and relentlessness. Riley is known to her teammates as the vocal leader.
Riley remembers going to her first volleyball practice as young girl, and wondering why nobody was saying anything.
"Bri is just constantly loud," sophomore sitter Kara Wehrs said. "She's always moving, talking and giving 100 percent no matter what. I think her effort and communication reflects on the team and makes her a good leader."
"I always thought it was so awkward," Riley said. "So when I go out there, even if no one is talking, I'm immediately going to start saying something to fill in the blank spots. I feel like I have more control and it puts me in a leadership position."

MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The results from the Bob Timmons Classic last Saturday, the first race of the season, were not exactly what junior runner Allie Marquis and the women's cross country team expected.
"We definitely went in thinking that we could win the race," Marquis said after finishing in fourth place individually. The team combined for a second place finish.
The team began the season with both men's and women's cross country ranked in the top 15 teams of the Midwest region by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
However, the team acknowledges that there are improvements to make.
"The distance between our first runner and our last runner was too big." Marquis said. "I think we definitely need to pack run and
learn that it's OK to get out of our comfort zone."
It did not take long for Reid Buchanon, a freshman middle distance runner on the men's team, to catch on to the concept. Buchanon said the pack strategy is not completely new, though it is certainly stressed much more with his coaches at the collegiate level than in high school.
"To win a cross country race, you have to keep your first and seventh runner close," Buchanon said.
He also said there is a mental advantage to running in packs in that it can intimidate other runners.
Although it has not yet been determined if Buchanon will redshirt this season, he said he has learned a lot so far and he owes much of his progress to the upperclassmen. Buchon said the team encourages each other to work hard on certain days and recovers together on other days.
Many people may view running as an individual sport, but runners rely on their teammates the same way they would in any other team sport.
On the women's team, Marquis said it makes a big difference that the runners are close, on and off the cross country course.
"We're best friends and know each other's strengths, and we want to run for each other," Marquis said.

CONFERENCE FROM | PAGE 10
they would not waive the right of litigation against Texas A&M and the SEC.
If the eight Big 12 schools do indeed threaten to seek legal action against the SEC, it could potentially hinder Texas A&M's acceptance into the conference.
KU associate athletic director for media relations, Jim Marchiony, told The New York Times' Pete Thamel that Kansas ultimately decided to retain the right
to seek legal action against Texas A&M. although Kansas does not intend to sue either party.
Even if the Big 12 members eventually allow Texas A&M to join the SEC without the threat of legal repercussions, this delay buys the conference time to convince the University of Oklahoma to pledge its loyalty to the Big 12. Oklahoma President David Boeren announced Friday that the Sooners are exploring its conference affiliation options.

Oklahoma to the Pac-12 Conference, but the Sooners would not be able to receive an invitation without Texas A&M first leaving the Big 12 free of legal hurdles. If Oklahoma is permitted to withdraw from the Big 12, its exit will most likely result in the end of the conference. It is apparent that the actions of the eight Big 12 "holdouts" are more about retaining Oklahoma than Texas A&M.
Welcome home!
T
Initially, Texas A&M planned a press conference and announcement celebration in College Station for Wednesday, but those arrangements have since been postponed indefinitely.
All in all, this leaves Beebe very little time for a last-ditch effort to retain the Big 12. Beebe had requested in his Sept. 2 letter to SEC Commissioner Mike Slive that the conferences reach a resolution by Thursday at 8 p.m. in order to avoid legal hurdles.

Shopping tips to help Big 12 survive
E
Every week, many people make shopping lists when they go to stores. With conference realignment shaking up the college sports world, conferences like the Pac-12 and the Southeastern Conference are making shopping lists to expand their conference. If the Big 12 wants to survive, they need to follow the pattern.
REPLACE THE EXPIRED ITEMS
Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Expired items in the fridge are useless and should be thrown away. The Big 12 conference needs to throw the rotten item out and replace it with something that lasts longer. The useless item being referenced is Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe.
Beebe has been commissioner since 2007. When Nebraska and Colorado left the conference a year ago, Beebe's favoritism toward Texas showed in the release of the Longhorn Network. That's not a huge issue, but not being as aggressive in conference expansion is a big mistake. Beebe should have immediately talked
to programs. Instead, the Big 12 continues to crumble because of a poor commissioner.
GET THE ESSENTIALS
On a grocery list, this includes items like bread, milk and eggs. For the Big 12, essentials need to be programs that will keep the conference going in the long run. The conference is falling apart, and it needs other big time programs.
Arkansas would be a great addition. It has a rich historic tradition and fit geographically in the Big 12. Arkansas may be content in the Southeastern Conference, but it would be an instant contender in the Big 12.
Houston fits geographically
and provides a decent market. Adding another Texas school to the Big 12 could hurt the conference, but Houston's football program is on the rise and provides competition.
The last team the Big 12 should add is Brigham Young University. The program has historic success in football and a large national following. BYU went independent last year, but stepping into an automatic-qualifying conference would be a valuable option.
LOOK FOR THE BEST DEAL
There is always that deal that no one can resist. For the right price, quantity and quality, people will accept the deal. While the Big 12 is looking at big time
programs, the best deal is Southern Methodist University. Yes, the school and athletic program aren't highly touted like BYU, but with Texas A&M leaving the Big 12, a connection to a new area is appealing.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is huge for marketability, SMU is considering expanding its stadium and the school has great academics and a football team on the rise. Oh, and it has expressed interest to join the Big 12. If the Big 12 wants to stay alive, accepting SMU would keep the conference on life support.

COMMENTARY
Hope is in the home games
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
The Jayhawks' Saturday night matchup against Northern Illinois is bigger than most week-two home games against an opponent from the Mid-American Conference. Kansas football hasn't seen an ounce of real momentum in almost two calendar years. It was Oct. 10,2009,when the Jayhawks erased a fourth quarter deficit to beat Iowa State,winning their fifth game in a row.
But it was the team's last win of the season, and the last time Kansas won back-to-back games.
Its No. 16 national ranking heading into that day was followed with seven straight losses by Thanksgiving weekend, and Kansas football has been more punchline than power since.
Starting the season 2-0 before the first road trip would be huge for a team and coaching staff looking to put last season's debacle as far in the rearview mirror as possible. With the young team that coach Turner Gill has right now, finding many wins on the road is doubtful. Capitalizing on those precious five remaining home games will be key, especially when one of those games is against No. 1 Oklahoma on Oct. 15. I'll go out on a limb and say Kansas won't beat Oklahoma that day, so that leaves Northern Illinois, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Baylor as winnable home games left on the schedule. If six wins and a bowl game are a goal this season, home games are opportunities that can't be missed.
Besides the need for anything resembling momentum and the need to capitalize on winnable home games, there's this: Northern Illinois isn't your average directional school from the MAC. The Huskies won 10 games last year, including a 40-17 romp over Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

MORE TEXAS DRAMA
NOT SO FAST, AGGIES
A&M's departure is at the mercy of the remaining Big 12 schools
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
The realignment dominoes are beginning to fall as the Southeastern Conference voted unanimously Tuesday to accept Texas A&M as its newest member.
The invitation is contingent on every Big 12 Conference member waiving its right for litigation against the SEC.
"After receiving unanimous written assurance from the Big 12 on Sept. 2 that the Southeastern Conference was free to accept Texas A&M to join as a new member, the presidents and chancellors of the SEC met last night with the intention of accepting the application of Texas A&M to be the newest member of the SEC," the chair of SEC presidents and chancellors board, Bernie Machen, said in his statement issued Wednesday morning.
The "written assurance" was a letter from Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe and is actually non-binding for the Big 12 schools.
One Big 12 institution was reportedly not content with the Aggies' departure from the conference. Machen said that the SEC was alerted Wednesday morning of a school considering legal action against Texas A&M and the SEC.
According to Orangebloods. com, that school is Baylor University. In the grand scheme of conference realignment, Baylor would be expected to lose its membership in a BCS conference if the Big 12 were to dissolve. Such relegation would potentially cost the school millions of dollars, so the Bears have a clear incentive to keep the Big 12 together.
"The SEC has stated that to consider an institution for membership, there must be no contractual hindrances to its departure," Machen said. "The SEC voted unanimously to accept Texas A&M University as a member upon receiving acceptable reconfirmation that the Big
12 and its members have reafirmed the letter dated Sept. 2, 2011."
In addition, Baylor launched a campaign entitled "Don't Mess with Texas Football" on its website, pointing all signs to the Bears fighting the potential break up of the Big 12.
As Wednesday progressed, it appeared that Baylor was not standing alone in its attempt to derail the A&M departure from the Big 12. The Waco Tribune Herald first reported that Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State and Texas Tech would decide to not waive the right of litigation.

Jayhawks to use run-heavy offense with Huskies
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
A run-heavy offense can also be a big play offense.
While the running attack chipped away at the McNeese State defense for 301 yards, sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against northern Illinois.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.
difficult to just pluck away down the field for 80 yard drives."
Sophomore running back James Sims set the tone and opened the second possession with a 30-yard run. The freshmen running backs added play-
making capabilities as well.
Darrrian Miller averaged 4.8
yards a carry and Tony Pierson
averaged 14.6 yards a carry.
Although the ground game helps open up the passing game, it can also make some noise itself.

"We feel like we have a running game that is built for explosive plays," Webb said. "We can get the 70 and 60 yarders out of the running game just as easy as the passing game."
Even though the run-game is full of playmakers, the receivers are without one of their top players. Senior Daymond
Patterson is listed as doubtful after receiving an undisclosed injury on Saturday.
"He's a leader," Webb said.
"He's the type of guy who you give the ball to and expect him to take it to the house. If we miss him, it's be a big piece."
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball to freshman running back Darrian Miller. "We did exactly what we wanted to do. We ran the ball and as quartbacks and receivers we made the plays that we needed to and that's the team we need to be." Webb said.
Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, who caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his Kansas debut, will replace Patterson with his 4.5 speed.
The newfound, ground-heavy attack is far away from the spread offense Mark Mangino ran, but that doesn't mean that a more balanced style won't provide just as many opposing defense-killing, scoring opportunities.
"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in."

Thirteen escape unharmed from Tennessee Street blaze
MIKE QUINNE WAGAN
A house burned by the 1300 block of Tennessee Street Sunday. All occupants escaped unharmed, but the house suffered severe damage.

IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.

Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.
John Kindscher, a sophomore from Leawood, also was asleep when the fire started.
"You don't really have time to think," he said. "just try to get everybody and get out. The fire started so fast, and the smoke was so thick."

EAT What You CRAVE!
EDITOR'S NOTE
If you were held at gunpoint and absolutely had to get a tattoo, what would you get?
I read this question in a magazine recently and I started wondering what I'd do if I were in that position. What tattoo would I get if I were strapped to the artist's chair, unable to escape until I received my ink?
The people I know who have tattoos always say that no matter what the ink is, it should mean something to you. The name of a lost loved one or a religious symbol are both things you typically see tattooed on someone's body. They have special meaning to those people who aren't afraid to have those words or images permanently placed on thier bodies.
I, however, had a hard time thinking of something that means enough to me that I'd want it permanently on my body. I'm not married so that rules out a wedding date
tattoo. I also don't have kids and a person close to me has never passed away, so I have no one to pay homage to in ink form.
I then thought about all the little things that make me happy: Hello Kitty, a movie marathon on Netflix, smoothies. All of these things would make for pretty ridiculous tattoos — can you imagine someone with a smoothie sprawled across her back?
OK, so my tattoo ideas are pretty terrible compared to the incredible ones I've seen, especially considering the art of tattooing has come such a long way. Did you know archeologists found mummies with tattoo-like markings? And that a new type of ink actually fades over time? For more on the world of tattoos, check out Jack's story on page eight.
Who knows what tattoo I'd end up with if I were forced to get one. Let's just hope it's nothing I'd regret forever. In fact, let's also hope it's in that ink that eventually fades.

KANSAS IN HEAT // HOW TO HAVE A ONE-NIGHT STAND > Tackling the sticky situation of relationships
> Tackling the sticky situation of relation
1. Don't get drunk!
The decisions you make under the influence may not be the same ones you make when sober. In The Journal of Studies on Alcohol, Antonia Abbey and her colleges found that, while under the influence, partner risk (risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection), did not influence willingness to have unprotected sex. Even though there was an acknowledged risk of contracting a STI from this one-night stand, unprotected sex would still occur if the person had been drinking.
2. Be armed and ready for battle.
Condoms are a must for sex with anyone other than a monogamous partner. Unfortunately, condoms don't protect against all STIs. Let's not forget that STIs can be transmitted through other ways. The medical profession has seen a growing trend of chlamydia and gonorrhea found in the throats of patients who participate in unprotected oral sex. Before you meet up with your one-night stand, use this check-list of sex armor:
-Male condoms: lubricated, non-lubricated, spermicidal lubricant, magnums, for her pleasure, latex, and non-latex. Arm yourself with a smorgasbord.
-Female condoms: unlike male condoms, can be inserted prior to sex play and provide protection for the outer part of the vagina.
-Dental dam (a flat, square piece of latex used for a barrier during cunningilus, fellatio, and anal play). If you can't locate a dental dam, try this: carefully cut a condom length-wise from the base to tip and spread out over the genitals.
-A small vibrator. This allows for pleasure without genital, anal, or oral contact.
3. Be Honest. Discuss your sexual history nast and current STIs.
If you approach the subject of sexual history and possibility of transmitting or contracting STIs and your partner refuses to disclose, leave immediately! What do you have to lose except the not guaranteed possibility of orgasm? Can someone lie during a one-night stand? Absolutely! Which is why having your sex armor is so important.
4. Have foreplay with the lights on.
In addition to the turn-on of seeing your partner being pleasured, having the lights on is a great way to further establish safe sex. In this brighter environment, you can explore your partners genitals and look for any sores, scars, bumps, or warts. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you can politely excuse yourself.
5. Be prepared for bad sex!
You cannot anticipate your partner's sexual knowledge or skill. Be prepared for a less-than-enjoyable tryst. There are no guarantees for satisfying one-night stands.
6. Don't exchange contact information. Don't promise to call.
If you discover a potential dating partner, don't have a one-night stand with him or her! This is a one-time experience without emotional investment. Communication of expectations and having a mutual understanding of post-coital conduct is a must. Wait to have sex with someone you fancy outside the bedroom.

Teachers don't

The term "teacher's pet" is often thrown around in a classroom setting.
Everyone knows "that student" in class who always has to contribute and always sucks up. It's pretty obvious how other students feel about those types of students, but how do the professors feel?
Dr. Craig Martin, biology professor, thinks that the term is used mostly among students and not with professors. "I am always very impressed with a students who has a lot of questions and a lot of things to say," Martin says. "But there is a line where they seem to be forcing questions or asking questions that aren't as good as other ones and they seem to just be asking for asking's sake."
Marilyn Rausch, a journalism lecturer, says a teacher's pet is a student who thinks he or she will get favorable treatment by engaging the teacher in a certain way. Rausch says she follows a model taught by her third grade teacher: be proud of what you can accomplish and not what you can get away with. This means students must earn their grades from their work, not from the way they interact with the teacher.
"My job is to teach you and your job is to be a professional student, so I prefer that the relationship stay at a professional level," Rausch says. "You as a student have a professional obligation to do the best that you can, and I, as a teacher, to do the best that I can."
Sarafina Kankam, a senior from Overland Park and biology teaching assistant, defines a teacher's pet as someone who tries to get a better grade or get on the good side of a teacher. She believes this happens especially at the end of a semester.
Kankam noticed students trying to suck up to her, either by starting pointless conversations or asking unnecessary questions, since she grades the weekly assignments.
Journalism lecturer Rausch, like Martin, says they appreciate when a student is being engaging. The feedback from students makes the teaching experience more interactive and easy to follow. Rausch says she likes the feedback because when nothing is said during a lecture, she can't gauge if the students are getting the information or not.
Martin and Rausch both suggest that students take advantage of special opportunities that professors offer, such as office hours or study group sessions before exams.
Teachers are not the only ones who want students to participate in more out-of-class opportunities. "I wish I had developed a relationship with more professors earlier on by going into office hours," says Meredith Walrafen, a senior from Overland Park.
While the line between being an engaged student and a teacher's pet is thin, the differences are clear. Professors and students agree that teachers' pets are an annoyance and take away from the class.

Thirteen escape unharmed from Tennessee Street blaze
THE BUILDING

A house burned on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street Sunday. All occupants escaped unharmed, but the house suffered severe damage.

"We're just so happy everyone
All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.
Andrew Adford, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif., was one of the first to discover a sofa on fire on the porch. After waking several people on the first floor, Adford saw that the fire had grown out of control and consumed the porch.
Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire-Medical is investigating the cause of the fire, according to Sgt. Randy Roberts, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
"The fire alarm was going, but people were still sleeping," Adford

"You don't really have time to think," he said. "Just try to get everybody and get out. The fire started so fast, and the smoke was so thick."
John Kindscher, a sophomore from Leawood, also was asleep when the fire started.

A guy that can liven up a boring situation with his self-confidence and ability to make people laugh. Turn-offs: I don't like guys that look like they just rolled out of bed. They need to be put together; something they can be comfortable in all day but still look cute.
Notice first in partner: The color of their eyes. I like green eyes!
Perfect first date: A laid-back, nothing too fancy afternoon at the ballpark eating peanuts. Tailgating with friends before and then watching the fireworks afterwards.
Why she's a catch: I have a spontaneous outlook on life, love to watch football, and am willing to try new things. I love to laugh and always find the positive in situations. Hanging with the guys is not a problem and I love to have fun with anything and everything that I do.
Spends the most money on: North Face apparel. I love to be warm and cozy and a good North Face always offers comfort on a drizzly day. | BAILEY ATKINSON |
HOW WE MET // ABBIE KELEHER AND MICHAEL JOLLEY > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Abbie Keleher, a senior from Bartlesville, Ok., came to college with the planning not to date until senior year. However, after an encounter with a half-naked sophomore the first month of her freshman year, the plan changed.
C. R. HUGHES AND J. SCHNEIDER
Keleher and Michael Jolley, a graduate from Overland Park had an interesting start to their relationship. Keleher and friends went to visit a friend at his fraternity at the start of the year. The friend told his roommate, Jolley, that a few girls would be coming over later that night. "So, the showman that I was, thought that I should time my shower with their arrival," Jolley says.
Which Jolley planned perfectly; Keleher and friends were at the fraternity for only a few minutes before Jolley walked inside with nothing but a towel on. "I was like oh my gosh, I didn't know you guys were going to be here, I am so embarrassed," Jolley says.
Keleher couldn't help but notice Jolley,but questioned the timing. Keleher says that she

is sure he did it on purpose. The two spent the rest of the night talking and planned to meet the next day at a tailgate. Soon the two started attending church together, which they still do almost three years later.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 vardas."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

GOOD FOR YOU BAD FOR YOU// POPPING YOUR JOINTS
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Popping your joints may not be so bad for you after all, besides the people who will glare at you when they hear that popping sound.
There isn't evidence that says popping your joints will lead to joint deterioration, and there is inconsistent research to say you will get arthritis later in life, says Sandy Bowman, a physical therapist at Student Health Services
People get the urge to pop because of joint stiffness or because it's a nervous habit. When you pop a joint, there is a release of pressure, but sometimes it's a tendon shifting over a joint, Bowman says.
Popping your knuckles could make them bigger, but just because you do it every day doesn't mean it will happen. Bowman savs.
Ligaments, which hold bones together, start out loose, so if your ligaments become too loose from popping, your joints might not give you full support. It is also possible for a joint in your neck or spine to pinch a nerve.
Gabe Bellovin, a junior from Westchester, N.Y., says he pops his knuckles at least six times a day and he often pops his neck and back. He says it is a nervous habit and does not feel a difference. He said he'll continue to do it unless evidence proves otherwise.
If joints are popped time after time, the release of pressure gives an increase in comfort and motion, so you are inclined to do it again. Bowman savs.
If you find it difficult to stop popping, Bowman suggests trying not to do it frequently. If there is no pain when you attempt to pop any joints and you do not make any fast movements, then it is probably fine, she says.

THAT'S DISGUSTING // WEARING UNWASHED CLOTHES
>Dude...gross
When trying on clothes in the fitting room, you usually don't think they are dirty. You're probably not going to wash a shirt or jeans before you wear them. But, you might want to reconsider that.
It is possible to catch antibiotic-resistant bacteria through the transfer of clothes, says Dr. Philip Tierno, a clinical professor of microbiology and pathology at New York University's School of Medicine. MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a staph bacterium that is resistant to some antibiotics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This bacteria can be caught wearing clothes without washing them first, even though the probability is very low, Tierno says.
It is crucial to bandage any cuts or scrapes before trying on clothes. Open wounds can cause these dangerous bacterium. "It can prevent the problem of a disaster," Tierno says.
Keep your underwear on when trying on undergarments. There is a lot of contamination in underwear and swimsuits because many women try them on naked and remove the protective liners, Tiero says. If you buy non-packaged underwear, it is important to routinely wash them.
If the underwear is packaged, it's probably fine. This is why men usually don't have to wash new underwear.
Marwa Noaman, a senior from Jersey City, NJ., says she tries on a lot of clothing when she shops, but she takes caution when trying on underwear and swimsuits.
After people have tried on the same clothing, the sloughed off skin cells accumulate on the inside of clothing. Organisms grow on them and begin to smell. Perspiration can also collect in garments, which serves as food for bacterial growth, Tierno says.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS
>If you're going to do it, be smart.
Kara Roberts smoked a half pack of clove cigarettes daily before a co-worker turned her on to the electronic cigarette, or the e-cigarette. Two months after Roberts, a 24-year-old Lawrence resident, started using the e-cigarette, she quit smoking. "My smoking habit didn't control my life anymore because there were no restrictions on where I could smoke, and I started not needing it as much," Roberts says.
// E-CIGARETTES
27
For $25 you can buy an e-cigarette that has three parts: a re-chargeable battery, a atomizer and a cartridge. The battery fuels the atomizer to convert the liquid in the cartridge to vapor when the user inhales. One cartridge equals approximately one pack of cigarettes. It cost $7.50 for eight cartridges. The e-cigarette looks like a cigarette, taste like a cigarette and allows the user to inhale nicotine. But e-cigarettes use water vapor instead of smoke. There is no tar, carbon monoxide, second-hand smoke or mess.
Sam Isaac, owner of Discount Tobacco in Lawrence, says the e-cigarettes contain only nicotine derived from plants, whereas traditional cigarettes consist of only 30 percent nicotine. The other 70 percent is additives.
Roberts says after switching to the e-
cigarette, she noticed she could taste again and began to breathe easier. "There was no mess, no smell and I immediately started saving money and feeling healthier," she saves.
The transition from traditional cigarettes to the e-cigarette might not be easy for every smoker. "For heavy smokers who are use to strong cigarettes, the e-cig doesn't always satisfy their cravings," Isaac says. He says the e-cigarette is popular in his store with senior citizens and people that can't smoke because of the health risk.

The e-cigarette is not currently regulated by the FDA.

NOT SO EAST AGGIES
Tatted Up
★
AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE WORLD OF INK
JACK RAFFERTY
It took 11 months and nine appointments with Ben Alvarez, owner of Done-Rite Tattoos, for me to finish my sleeve. Each time I parked outside Alvarez's shop, located in the Crossroads district of Kansas City, my stomach would flutter in anticipation. My excitement arose partly from seeing my vision become a reality, but also from my endless conversations with Alvarez about the fascinating world of tattoos.
ORIGIN
The 58 markings archeologists found on the knee and ankles of Otzi or "Iceman," a 5,000-year-old mummified human body, places the origin of tattoos near 3,000 B.C. "Iceman," found in 1911 in a glacier on a mountain between Austria and Itlay, remains the best-preserved Bronze Age corpse ever discovered, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Across Europe, archeologists have found clay discs and bone needles, believed to have been for tattooing during the Upper Paleolithic (3800 B.C. to 10000 B.C.) period.
HISTORY
Prior to the discovery of Otzi, the earliest examples of tattoos were Egyptian, discovered on female mummies dated to 2000 B.C. It wasn't until the 17th century that tattooing was documented in North America. A French explorer documented his account of tattooing among the Hurons, a Native American tribe located in Eastern Canada in 1615.
Inspired by Thomas Edison's device designed to make painting and embroidery patterns in 1876, Samuel O'Reilly filed his patent for the first tattoo machine in 1891. Thirty-eight years later Percy Waters, a Detroit inventor, received a patent for a tattoo machine that resembles the one used today.
MODERN ERA
Since Percy Water's invention of the tattooing machine in 1929, tattoos once considered taboo, are more popular than ever. Throughout his 19-year career as an artist, Alvarez has witnessed this first hand. "Tattooed folks used to be looked at military or ex cons, but these days it seems being tattooed, especially as a musician or sports star, often denotes status. Young people seem to no longer view being tattooed as anything other than success." Alvarez says.
With about six tattoo shops per 100,000 people, Kansas City is the most tattooed city in America. Alvarez's shop has had a six-month waiting list for the past three years. Alvarez often has customers offer to pay double in an attempt to get bumped to the head of the line. "I don't play favorites," Alvarez says. "Everybody waits."
Not only has the tattoo clientele changed, but the tattoo world has seen its share of trends: "All around the world, tattoo trends change all the time," says Martin Del Camino, artist and owner of Ichiban Tattoo Studio located at 1912 Massachusetts St.
Del Camino began his tattoo career in Buenos Aires, before moving to the U.S. in 2000. "Just 10 years ago, lower back tattoos were very common for women," Del Camino says. "It's sad, all those poor girls are now thought of as tramps."
Technological advancements in the past 30 years have contributed to another growing trend in the tattoo industry. No longer are people forced to bare a tattoo that they regret or no longer feel connected to. You can remove that constant reminder of an impulse decision, past relationship or wild night in Mexico.

TATTOO REMOVAL
It is estimated that of the 10 million Americans that have at least one tattoo, more than 50 percent regret the decision and would like it removed. Before the development of "pulsed" lasers in the 1980s, effective tattoo removal wasn't an available option. By directing the energy generated by highly concentrated color light beams, pulse lasers are capable of breaking apart ink particles in human skin.
While laser removal has been proven effective at removing tattoos, it has often been a costly undertaking. Depending on the size, color and location, a full removal can range from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. However, the use of inks specially formulated for easier removal has increased.
Since its limited release in 2009, Infintink is now available in 12 U.S. sates. The ink initially developed by professors Bruce Klitzman and Kim Koger of Duke University, has been proven to remove from the skin three times faster than conventional inks during laser treatment.*
The ink consists of inert plastic beads, containing colored dyes. The energy generated by the laser ruptures the beads, resulting in the leaking and removal of the ink from the body. While InfinitInk expects to release a full color line in the distant future, only black ink is available for now.
THE TATTOO COMMUNITY
With an estimated 20 000 tattoo parlors in the United States, and a new one opening every day, the evolution of the tattoo industry is appearing on the covers of magazines across the world. "I believe that mainstream society has stopped looking at tattoos as the mark of their underbelly, and now that there is acceptance for the tattooed, perhaps society will take the next step and recognize tattooing as the new modern art," says Rocky Rakovic, editor of Inked magazine.
Inked, a high-end glossy tattoo lifestyle magazine known for its avant garde photographs, debuted in 2004. It's evident from the international magazine's growing readership that many, like Rakovic, view tattoos as modern art.
Linked readers get access to exclusive interviews with renowned tattoo artists and photographs of world-class work. The magazine's coverage of the tattoo culture also includes celebrities. Recent celebs to appear on the cover include Avril Livigne, Ryan Phillippe, Pharrell Williams and Pink. Linked has a readership of 149,000 subscribers and has increased by more than 40,000 within the past year alone.

ON THE WEB
In July 2002, "tattoos" was the second most requested search term on the Internet and it has remained the most searched beauty term since 2003. The increased online presence of the tattoo community the last 10 years provides enthusiasts, such as myself, a place to engage with ink lovers from around the world.
With hundreds of thousands of user-generated images and stories, BMEzine is the largest body modification website in the world. "BME contains the personal experiences of thousands of people all over the planet, in photo, video and text form. It serves to document the activities of the body modification community in as complete a fashion as possible," says Jen Savage, site manager.
Thousands of websites like BMZine act as cyber galleries, showcasing artists' work for tattoo admirers from around the world. Similar to art forms, tattoos can be classified into distinct styles.
TRADITIONAL TATTOOS
Known for its use of bright colors and bold outlines, this style is thought to have originated on military bases in the 1930s. Popular traditional designs include girls, roses, skulls and patriotic symbols. "Designs were made to b simple, but catch the eye and get sailors and the like to spend their money," says Andrew Milko, artist at Mercy Seat Tattoo in Kansas City.
This style has seen resurgence in recent years. "It seems like right now most people are pretty receptive to traditional tattoos," Mikko says. "They will never go out of style, because there is something timeless about the designs."
BLACK AND GRAY TATTOOS
Black and gray is a style of tattooing that uses shades of black to illustrate depth often associated with charcoal drawings. With an emphasis on detail, this style is typically used to express a realistic depiction of an image, such as a portrait. With colored ink unavailable to them, people in U.S. prisons began developing this style in the 1970s.
TRIBAL TATTOOS
Modeled after the bold geometric designs common in tribal culture, this style became a popular U.S. trend in the late 1980s. Done in black ink, the abstract symbols are designed to fit a specific part of the body.
ORIENTAL
The oriental style of tattooing is known for using the entire body as one canvas. The images flow into each other across the body to create a mural effect. "The tattoos flow along the curves of the body to create the uniform effect." Del Camino says.
The most common images from this style include Koi fish, cherry blossoms, dragons and samurai. "One dragon tattoo I saw was done so well that when the man moved his shoulders, it looked like the dragon was alive," Del Camino says.
For some people, tattoos have the power to prolong feeling a connection to loved ones in a way no other art form can. Jacob Moffitt, an alumnus from Wichita, has a tattoo of a soldier wearing a combat helmet on his left calf. Moffitt got the tattoo last December in remembrance of his brother, Tom Moffitt, who was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan in October 2010.
"I think tattoos express individuality and can display what is important and most dear to you in your life," Moffitt says.
While much has changed over the past 5,000 years, one thing that continues to be true is that tattoos are used to outwardly express what is internally important.
CARING FOR YOUR TATTOO
1. Remove bandage after a few hours to allow airflow.
3. Use warm water and unscented soap to clean the tattoo once a day.
2. Treat with antibacterial ointment for about a week.
4. Do not swim or submerge the tattoo in water until it is fully healed.
5. Do not pick at the tattoo. Scabbing may occur which could lift the color from the skin.

The KU Swing Society meets every Tuesday at the Kansas Union to teach newcomers how to swing dance and let the experienced ones get their grove on. The best part about it? It's free.
Kaitlin Dodier, a senior from Fredonia, says it's a good cultural thing to go to with all of the different types of dance styles you can learn. It doesn't require anything but for you to come
Don't know how to dance? No worries, you'll get the "swing" of things.
In case this still doesn't sound fun to you, you should know that the Swing Society even goes on road trips for what they call "dance weekends."
Currently, there are two teachers for the Swing Society, but on occasion, they will also have a guest teacher, says Stuart Becker, vice president of the Swing Society. Attendees are also very diverse, ranging from freshman to older people.
So, if you feel like getting your groove on with some swing dancing on Tuesday nights, check out the Swing Society. Also, take a look at their Facebook page or website for more information regarding times, locations and events.
and have fun. "It's the perfect club," Dodier says.

DOING WITHOUT// USING A LAPTOP IN CLASS
My sloppy writing was getting the snot kicked out of it 30 seconds in. Instead of trying to go between Facebook, email and my notes on my computer, I was furiously writing everything the teacher said, half of which I couldn't even read afterwards. I was only 10 minutes into class and I was already checking the time on my phone.
> Absence makes the heart grow...?
As I walked to my first class of the day, the announcer in my head came on; "And now for our main event: Times New Roman versus Chris' sloppy handwriting."
Long story short, not using a laptop in class sucked.
But what about those students who don't even own a laptop? I had trouble doing without mine for one class, but they do it on a daily basis.
Leo Castro, a senior from Olathe, knows my pain. Although not having a computer keeps him from being distracted in class, he says it's not worth the hassle of having to write a ten page paper in one sitting or asking someone for the notes because the professor is going too quicky.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the 20 yards."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.

HOW TO SHOOT LIGHTNING

MANUAL
When the thunder rolls, grab your camera.
TIPS FROM PROS
CHRIS NEAL
THE PROS
Everyone has seen an amazing picture of lightning at one time or another. Ever wonder how those photographers got that picture? It's actually easier than you might think. Whether you have a point-and-shoot camera or an SLR camera, here's the steps to be able to do it:
Travis Heying- Staff photographer at The Wichita Eagle
a point-and-shoot camera or an SLR camera, here's the steps to be able to do it:
Before getting into the technical stuff, a quick note on safety should be made. When taking pictures of lightning, you always need to know where the storm is heading. Make sure you aren't at the highest point in the area because that's where cloud-to-ground lighting will most always strike. Be aware of your surroundings, because you don't want to be stuck outside in a thunderstorm while lighting is coming down on top of you.
Also, stay away from metal objects. Until you know what you're doing, don't ever go to the high points in an area or near a place with metal objects around. For point-and-shoot users, cameras have a manual setting that will allow you to freely change the exposure settings on your camera. You will need to go into that setting in order to shoot this kind of photo. With this in mind, you can safely take that sweet lightning picture.

Mike Yoder - Photo Editor of The Lawrence Journal World
Your first step is to have a way to steady your camera. The best choice would be to use a tripod, but you can always improvise. For example, the photo shown was taken using a bucket and phonebook. I used the bucket as a base to set the camera on, and the phonebook to get the angle I wanted. As long as your camera is not going to fall, anything should work.
Secondly, setting your ISO is probably the easiest thing you'll need to do. The higher your ISO is, the brighter your photo is, and vice-versa. For this type of shot, you will want a lower ISO. Somewhere in the 100 to 200 range is fine, but feel free to experiment with it.
Yoder suggests a different way of controlling your shutter speed. Some cameras have a setting called "Bulb", or "B." In this setting, as long as you have the button
The next thing to do is set your aperture. Your aperture determines how large your depth of field is in your photo. Mike Yoder, photo editor at The Lawrence Journal World, suggests using an aperture of f8 for this shot.
Now for the most important thing; the shutter speed. Your shutter speed is crucial for capturing a lightning bolt. For these types of shots, you will want a very slow shutter speed to allow more time for the lightning to strike while the picture is still exposing. These two photos were taken by having the shutter stay open for 30 seconds. Some cameras won't be able to stay open that long, so just have the shutter stay open as long as possible. While the shutter is open, any lighting strike that happens within the frame of your camera will be captured.
Now that you have the basics of how to shoot lighting, go out and give it a try. But always be aware of your surroundings and know where the storm is heading.

| BY KARMA AS TOLD TO NADIA IMAFIDON |
During the summer of 2011, a University of Kansas senior (stage name Karma) went with her friend to a strip club and walked away with a new job. Although her intention was only to act as emotional support for her friend's audition, Karma was pressured by some of the girls working into auditioning herself. She has been dancing at the club since.
Contributed image
At my job, I am an actress. I have a big dressing room where I get all dolled up and make good mone.
It's the way I go about getting money that bothers some people. I wear a yellow metallic dress with cut-outs on the sides and six-inch platform heels for six or seven hours a night.
Generally married men provide me with a paycheck. They could tell me they invented a flying car that is going on the market next year and I'll support them. I'l stroke their arm and drape my legs over theirs. You do what it takes within bounds to get cash.
A man was about to leave when I sat down next to him. He only asked for one dance and I wasn't going to turn down $20. He ended up buying 12 or 13 dances.
I led him into the VIP room. You may think that old guys have problems getting it up but that is not the case when a yougn, hot, half-naked girl is on top of them. I'm straddling him and rubbing up against him and I can feel it. He starts to breathe heavily. He tries to nibble on my ear and slip his hand down my thong to touch my crotch. I forcibly grab his wrists and push his hands down to his sides to make sure he understands that that is not allowed.
Just like that, I embrace my character. As Karma, I'm really into the lap dance, moaning loudly, gyrating against him, rubbing his face and grabbing his thighs.
I'm not actually thinking about the fact that I am grinding up on a man in his sixties. I'm not thinking about the massive bruises that line my inner and outer thighs from long nights of pole dancing. Instead I'm spacing out, repeating one phrase to get me through the night. I'm making money, I'm making money. I go through the routine but I'm not actually there.
I made between $250 and $300 on just this one guy.
I'm young and I have a good body, People judge me for what I do but I don't let it bother me. I make good money. It's kind of dirty money, really.

Q&A// HYMN FOR HER
> Because we have questions. Celebrities have answers.
Lucy Tight and Wayne Waxing are "Hymn for Her," a dynamic duo that has set out to take on the world by...trailer?
It is exactly what it seems. This folk pop band travels around the country in a 1961 Bambi Airstream Trailer with their daughter, Diver, and their dog, Pokey. The two recorded their latest album "Lucy and Wayne and the AMAIRICAN STREAM" while on tour last year in the 16-foot trailer they have made into their home. With the married couple on numerous instruments like a handmade cigar box guitar, their sound is nothing that anyone has been able to pinpoint with just a few words. Hymn for Her is seeing their name placed next to band names like the White Stripes and the Black Keys with more of a country Americana vibe.
Keep your eyes on the road because the Bambi Airstream trailer will soon be gracing us with their presence. Hymn for Her will be performing at Vulcan's Forge in Kansas City, Mo on Sept. 25.
CITY COVEGIRL
Jayplay: Hymn for Her is a really creative name. How did you come up with this?
Lucy: Wayne actually came up with it.
He wrote a song called "Hymn for Her" a long time ago, a couple years ago actually, and then he thought it would be a really cool name for a band.

JP. What's the song about?
L. The song was about a certain route a girl's house that you love and then the route backward.
JP: What's the song about?
JP: How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
□ Sort of soul, funk, blues, blue grass.
Totally unique. Something different that makes you feel good.
JP: What are your musical influences?
JP: So I've read that you live out of your Airstream Trailer with your daughter. What is that like?
Well, mostly the road and traveling and friends. And AC/DC! And Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, but mostly just traveling and friends and touring.
Busy! We also travel with our dog,
Pokey. He's our 90 pound black lab. So
there's never a dull moment on the road.
JP: What is the story behind the cigar box guitar that you play, Lucy?
It's a cigar box with three strings. One is a bass string, two are guitar strings.
A broom handle for a neck. Pretty much you could use a broom handle or a toilet plunger. Our friend, John Lowe, made it and gave it to us as a gift.
JP: How did you learn how to play it?
I practiced fretting, you know. It was a lot of work, and I'm still working on it. I am still learning how to play it
JP: Which other instruments do you play in the band?
in the band?
L. Wayne plays the kick drum, hi-hat,
banjo, guitar and
harmonica. I play banjo and acoustic
guitar. Sometimes the ukulele and the
glockenspiel.
JP: What can readers expect from your recent album, "Lucy & Wayne and the Amairican Stream"?
Well I think the same thing as what I said about our
music. Something that makes you smile, and just makes you feel good.
JP: Why should students attend your show in Kansas City on Sept. 25? We sound like a full band on our album but we also sound like that live. What you see is what you get, whether it's in the live setting or recording too.
NADIA IMAFIDON
Hymn for Her will be playing at Vulean's Forge at 8 pm in Kansas City Mo. on Sept. 25. At the concert, the high energy of multi-instrumentalists Lucy Tight and Wayne Waxing, and the vintage slides from the '60s playing in the background will most certainly give attendees a unique experience.

STAGE PRESENCE // MY BROTHER, THE VULTURE
The guys from My Brother, The Vulture will be the first to tell you they're at odds with what's most popular in the Lawrence music scene right now. They'll also be the first to tell you they don't give a shit.
In a time where synthesizers or mandolins seem like absolute requisites among local bands, these guys are producing some of the most gritty and unapologetic rock to come out of Lawrence for a long time. As singer Alec Hernandez says, "there's not really a market for harder music in Lawrence right now," but this hasn't stopped the five-piece from getting its name out and earning a respectable level of notoriety.
Although they've only been a band since September of 2010, My Brother, The Vulture already has a lot to be proud of. They entered a nation-wide competition and won a spot at the Warped Tour in Kansas City. And as if that isn't already enough excitement for a relatively new band, they recently recorded two new songs at Rubber Track Studio in New York City for free.
The band is currently planning a tour that will kick off in January and it's scheduled to play at the Kansas Union for Tunes at Noon on September 23. As for feeling slightly out of place among the folk and electronic wave that has taken over Lawrence, they don't let it phase them. "If it doesn't have a mandolin it better have a fat-ass beat," says guitarist Jon Marzette. "Those are the rules of Lawrence right now, and we're trying to break that mold."
Kudos dudes. Someone's gotta do it.

SCENE AND HEARD // JAVA BREAK
>New places. New faces.
The painted murals and graffiti on the walls, the retro furniture, the old boxstyle TV from the 1970s — no, this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's The Java Break.
For 17 years, students have trekked from campus to downtown, searching for a new place to study. Sometimes Anschutz library just doesn't cut it, but The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., is the perfect spot to pull those annoying all-nighters.

The coffee shop is far from traditional with its cereal bar and al fresco food and drink menu, not to mention the lush, urban appeal. It's a great excuse to grab a coffee, study, or just hang out and catch up with friends.
"I'm an art student and I feel it's more of a place where I fit in as opposed to going to the library." says Nici Ashner, a junior from Overland Park. "I don't do schoolwork outside of the studio very often, but when I do, this is where I choose to go."
By no means is the café a "hipster" hangout, but rather, an alternative option to other downtown studying spots. The
works of art plastered across the walls and tables were all drawn by former students, Lawrence residents and even the occasional staff member, further adding a historical element to the café.
"I would like to think it's our sandwiches and beverages that attract students,"owner Derek Hogan says. "But it's probably the 24-hour service that's our biggest attraction."
The Java Break also has free Wi-Fi, and the staff has an online blog. The coffee shop is open seven days a week, 24/7.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 vard."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

These Are My People
Finding spiritual identity in Italy
Contributed photo
While in Italy, DiDonato rediscovered her faith.
I had high hopes for my time abroad. Both sets of my dad's grandparents emigrated from Italy, so 50 percent of my blood is legitimately Italian. After three semesters of studying the language in the States, I was ready to connect with my roots in the birthplace of the Renaissance: Florence. I just knew that once I set foot on the land of my ancestors, the language would osmose into my brain, my Italian blood would rise up, and I would blend right into Italian culture. In fact, they'd probably take one look at me, see my Italian nose, my big eyes, my olive skin, and think I was una locale (a local).
Instead, my first week of four-hour language classes in Italy left me with hellacious headaches. The rapid-fire Italian shot at me from native Italian speakers was more than my brain could handle. I got accustomed to saying phrases like, "Ripeti, per favore?" (Could you repeat that, please?), "Mi scusi?" (Excuse me)? and most embarrassing of all was the oft-repeated, "Mi dispiaca, ma non ho capito." (I'm sorry, but I didn't understand).
Another blow came when my host dad said to me, "One of your parents is not Italian, right?"
"Yeah, my dad's Italian, but my mom isn't."
"I can tell."
Seriously? Apparently I didn't even look like a legit Italian!
I tried to convince myself as I walked through the bustling streets that these people, this culture, this land somehow resonated inside of me. I strained to hear some ring in my soul of "Yes! We are one and the same! These are my people!"
But it never came. I wasn't in love with Italy the way my classmates were. My roommate was having the time of her life. Sweetly, she tried to help me feel my roots, saying, "Oh, I bet you're more Italian than you think!" But I wasn't feeling it. For three weeks I wasn't feeling it. Don't get me wrong - Italy certainly had its delights and I thanked God for the opportunity to experience them. I saw works by Boticelli, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Donatello. Most nights we chased our delectable three course meals down with fine wines, often followed by the dreamy goodness that is gelato.
By day, I walked narrow cobblestone streets that were often filled with the sound of accordions or violins – just as you would imagine Italy. Yet somehow it all felt so empty to me. Everybody in my program seemed content to fill
their days and nights with museums, shopping, bars and clubs and I wasn't. I wanted something deeper.
Something alive. Something eternal. So I talked to God – a lot. I told God how frustrated I was that my values didn't sync up with the Italianis' the way I'd imagined. I missed my life in Lawrence, my friends, my family, and my church.
I floated along in the crowd of people exiting the station. The Mediterranean sunlight temporarily blinded me from what was just across the street. Within a few seconds, my eyes adjusted and focused on the ancient, arched building towering over me. Dumbfounded, I stood there a moment or two, just staring up at the Colosseum. How many times had I seen this building on cute elementary school atlases, on t-shirts, magnets and other cheap souvenirs? I gazed upon a centuries-old world icon as unexpected tears spilled down my cheeks. Why am I crying?
One weekend I decided to meet up with a friend in Rome. I had a couple hours all by myself before meeting her. So I hopped on the B line and got off at the second stop: II Colosseo, or, as we know it, the Colosseum.
And then I remembered what actually
never see. I realized that stronger than my cultural heritage is the identity I have as a follower of Christ. It trumps everything, transcending time and bloodline, connecting me to Christians past, present, and future. I hope that my life will make the martyrs' count for something as I live with the same dedication to Christ. There is a verse in the Bible, which says,
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." (Hebrews 12:1)
happened just on the other side of that wall. The Colosseum has had various uses throughout history: it was a quarry, provided housing for monks and was built to be an amphitheatre for entertainment. But there was only one use that was running through my mind as I stood silently crying, staring up at it. I remembered that people who once walked the same ground I was standing on went inside that arena, never to come out again. I tried to imagine what it would be like to face brutal death simply for following Jesus. What were these people's last thoughts as they watched the lions approach and heard the roar of thousands of people cheering for them to die? Did they feel at peace with their end, that they'd done exactly what they were meant to do in their time on earth? Did they realize that their choice to identify themselves with Christ, even in the face of death, would make one girl thousands of years later stand in awe? For the first time in Italy, my soul rang with, "Yes. We are one and the same. These are my people."
I walked away from the Colosseum that day with new perspective on my small life. I realized that, like these martyrs, the choices I make now will affect people generations away, whom I will
Since that day, I sometimes imagine myself in the arena, looking up at packed stadium seats and seeing the martyrs, my people, cheering me on to life.

Thirteen escape unharmed from Tennessee Street blaze
BROOKLYN, N.Y.—A fire that consumed the home of two sisters and their grandmother in Brooklyn, N.Y., has left them homeless. The house, built in 1920, is now a vacant property. A search warrant was issued for the family's belongings on Monday.

A house burned on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street Sunday. All occupants escaped unharmed, but the house suffered severe damage.
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.
"We're just so happy everyone
got out alive," he said.
Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.
Andrew Adford, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif., was one of the first to discover a sofa on fire on the porch. After waking several people on the first floor, Adford saw that the fire had grown out of control and consumed the porch.
"The fire alarm was going, but people were still sleeping." Adford
said. After helping to warn people on the second and third floors, he exited the house through a third-floor fire escape.
John Kindscher, a sophomore from Leawood, also was asleep when the fire started.

"You don't really have time to think," he said. "Just try to get everybody and get out. The fire started so fast, and the smoke was so thick."
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire-Medical is investigating the cause of the fire, according to Sgt. Randy Roberts, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
OSLO, NORWAY
The 17,000-officer police force in Puerto Rico has unnecessarily injured hundreds of people and killed numerous others, engaging in a long-standing pattern of illegal practices, the Justice Department's civil rights division said Thursday.
The department also said Puerto Rican police routinely conduct illegal searches and seizures without warrants.
"The public's demands for remedial action are fueled in part by the appalling number of officer arrests and convictions for serious misconduct and criminal activity," the report stated.
The report found that police have used "unnecessary and unreasonable" deadly force while arresting people who posed little or no harm and who did not resist.
Norwegian police on Thursday set off a replica of the car bomb that ripped through Oslo's government district on July 22 in the first of two attacks that together killed 77 people.
Police spokesman Roar Hansen said investigators built the 2,100-pound device using fertilizer found at a farm belonging to Anders Behring Breivik, an anti-Muslim extremist who has confessed to the Oslo bombing and a shooting massacre at a Labor Party island youth camp that killed 69 people.
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
The replica bomb was placed in a car at a military firing range, where it was detonated, Hansen said.
Brevik is cooperating with police and helping them reconstruct how he carried out the attacks.
"The purpose was to measure the impact of such an explosion," he added.
The elfin child with the big personality and bright smile calls herself "the first lady" and dreams of the future.
Do doctors say 12-year-old Ontlametse Phalatse has only another couple of years to live.
"I call myself a first lady because I'm the first black child with this disease ... Which other black child do you know with this disease?" she challenged.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddskmers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.

Dole Center to host ceremonial tribute for 9/11 victims

This Sunday will mark the tenth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. That fateful day on which the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City were attacked by terrorists is still imprinted on the hearts and minds of the American people who bore witness to its tragedy and the lasting consequences.
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics will host a commemoration ceremony, organized by the group Interfaith, to remember the victims and heroes of 9/11. Jane Tedder, a resident of Lawrence who was at the World Trade Center in New York City at the time of the attacks, will speak about her experience 10 years ago and the impact it has left on her to this

"We have to know what role each one of us plays in our country and to make sure we contribute."
"It's essential that we keep in mind those who were killed," Ballard said. "It's important that we not let their deaths be in vain. That we use this as a reminder to make sure we work on peace, to work on democracy, security. That was being threatened. We have to know what role each one of us plays in our country and to
Though many would still have been in elementary school at the time, University of Kansas students still recognize the need to remember the events of 9/11.
"I think it's a good time for us to recall what all we lost," said Juli Barker, a freshman from Las Vegas, Nev. "We need to be able to look back at how things were and realize just how different the world is now. Way back when, before it happened, things were so much simpler. Everything seemed a little safer, and I think it's important to look back and think of how one action can change everything and to try and value what you do based on how you will affect other people."

what is believed to be the largest
depiction of an American flag
on a stained glass window in the
world. Two ten-

The 9/11 commemoration ceremony will begin at 4 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a candlelight remembrance that evening at 7:30 p.m. around Memorial Drive.

Student Senate holds first committee meetings
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH
jblakeborough@kansan.com
The first Student Senate Committee meetings of the 2011-2012 academic year took place Sept. 7. Members learned about parliamentary procedures and began voting on legislation.
The Student Senate is required to fill 20 percent of seats on various boards and committees across campus. To fulfill this requirement, Student Senate breaks into four committee categories: students' rights, finance, multicultural affairs and university affairs.
Committee meetings are utilizing electronic clicker systems to record attendance this year. There will be a click-in question at the beginning and end of each committee meeting. Gabe Bliss, student body vice president, explained the importance of committee
being timely.
"You have to be here the whole time, this system ensures that," Bliss said. "If you miss one by coming in late, you will be counted for half attendance." For committee member
McCrov
MARIO VAN ZELE
three absences from a committee meeting will result in a consultation with executive secretary Alek Joyce. The first meeting after three absences, a member only has speaking rights and cannot regain their voting rights until the second meeting.
A bill must be passed in two committees before it goes through to full senate. If approved there, it goes onto the president to sign. If the president doesn't sign a bill passed by full senate within 10 academic days, the bill will become active on its own. The more heated debates traditionally take place in the finance and students' rights committees.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
The finance committee oversees student fees and the allocation of those fees to student groups on campus.
"Anything with a dollar sign comes through us," said Josh Dean, the finance chairman and former vice presidential running mate for Renew KU coalition.
The finance committee had 18 bills on the agenda for the first meeting covering the funding of everything from KU Environs to the African
Drum Ensemble Club. Dean said that the amount of funding requests the finance committee receives varies from week to week based on whatever people submit.
New student groups must meet the following requirements to receive funding from Student Senate:
open to all University students
- open to all University students
- have additional club members outside of the executive staff (the president, vice-president and treasurer)
- be registered in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center
If any student group meets these requirements, they are immediately eligible for $200 for basic operating costs without needing to specify funding needs.
Previous presidents Mason Heilman and Michael Wade Smith refused to appoint a chief justice to the court, leaving it unbalanced with only four justices. Smith attempted to disband the court altogether but was denied.
"There's no reason finance needs to be a scary gauntlet." Dean said. "It can be a fairly straightforward process."
The students' rights committee passed all four bills on its agenda, including a bill about the court of appeals. Since its creation in 2008, the court of appeals has been a contested issue in Student Senate.
STUDENTS' RIGHTS COMMITTEE
Student rights chair Aaron Harris and co-author of the bill to amend student rules and regulations article four, student court of appeals, feels that the court hasn't had its full strength since its initial creation. Harris said that his goal is to make the court more transparent and heard.
Billy McCroy, a court of appeals justice since the group's creation, sat in as a representative of the court in the student rights committee.
"We are the very important checks and balances for Student Senate," McCroy said, "These changes will restore the full power of the original intent of this court."
The court of appeals has the final say on interpretation of rules and regulations in judicial reviews. Other tasks of the court of appeals include putting student groups who are found guilty of abusing Student Senate funding on probation, giving written warnings to executive officers not ful-

"In the past few years since its creation, the court of appeals couldn't fully do its job," Harris said. "I want the court to have its full strength and that means filling all of the seats."

Thirteen escape unharmed from Tennessee Street blaze
THE HOME OF THE MARCEL BARNES FAMILY
MIKE GUNNQE/KANSAN
A house burned on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street Sunday. All occupants escaped unharmed, but the house suffered severe damage.
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire-Medical is investigating the cause of the fire, according to Sgt. Randy Roberts, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.
Andrew Adford, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif., was one of the first to discover a sofa on fire on the porch. After waking several people on the first floor, Adford saw that the fire had grown out of control and consumed the porch.

EDUCATION
Business school fights national stereotypes
BRITTANY CLAMPITT bclampitt@kansan.com
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
According to the article, "The Default Major — Skating Through B-school," if a school falls below Business Weekly's top 50 ranking, there should be anxiety about student apathy.
A school for slackers? That is what an article in the New York Times claimed regarding undergraduate business majors. Collaborating with The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Times explored the apparent lowering of standards in American business schools and the lack of effort on students' parts.
"Business majors spend less time preparing for class than do students in any other broad field, according to the most recent National Survey of Student Engagement," the article stated.
But does this apply to the University of Kansas, which stands at No. 108 on Business Weekly's 2011 list? Many in the Kansas School of Business would argue no.
Toni Dixon, communications director for Kansas' School of Business, said the school stands out from those in the article because of the selectivity of admissions.
"We turn away half the students who apply because our classes are small and our school is small and we have more applicants than we can take," Dixon said. "You have to work for it."
While The Times article cited large student-faculty ratios as one of the issues in undergraduate business programs, Dixon said a small ratio is what makes the difference for Kansas.
"We've kept it a small school so students have interaction with faculty members, get to know them," Dixon said. "Those kinds of things help add stringency to the courses."
The School of Business has other safeguards that keep it from falling victim to the same issues as the schools in the article. Various clubs and activities and a balance of group and individual work have combined to help business students get hands-on experience and stand out to employers.
"Employers give us feedback and tell us they've found that our students are very good," Dixon said. "They can stand up to any competition and they're great hires."
Students of the business school come down on both sides of the argument.
"The admission requirements are pretty hefty and the classes that I have taken so far are pretty intensive," said Brian Kuzarah, a sophomore from Colorado Springs, Colo., who will soon apply to the business school. "But, I feel like it's an over-encompassing major that everyone can use."
Nick Patton, a sophomore from Olathe who gained early admission to the Business School his freshman year, disagreed.
"I don't think I've studied for more than an hour for any exam or quiz or anything," Patton said. "It's not difficult. I think business is pretty standard." Patton thinks that business is learned by doing it. It's a trial-by-basis basis.
There have been arguments among business schools across the United States as to whether having an undergraduate business major is even wise. The Times article quoted St. John's Fellow J. David Hunger as debating if a liberal arts undergraduate degree program would be more beneficial for the writing and speaking skills employers look for.
The University of Kansas School of Business addresses this issue by requiring students to complete a certain number of liberal arts credits.
"They've already had the two years of liberal arts education before they come to the Business School," Dixon said. "They can't enter the Business School until they're juniors."
The School of Business ensures that even freshmen like Patton, whose exceptional records allow for early admission, have two years of those liberal arts classes before starting their business courses.
There is a level of excitement for the future of the school with the appointment of the new dean, a graduate of the school, Neeli Bendapudi.
Austin Falley, communications coordinator for the school, views Bendapudi's career as a testament to the quality of the business program.
"She can be put up against any Ivy Leaguer anywhere around the world and she's shown that," Falley said. "I think a lot of that has to do with the quality of education you get here."
However, Bendapudi's success also shows that it's necessary for undergraduates to take advantage of the opportunities they are offered.
"There's a very entrepreneurial spirit that you are really required to have, especially in business education," Falley said. "I think that is an example of the people we have studying here at the School of Business."

--sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

"We feel like we have a running game that is built for explosive plays," Webb said. "We can get the 70 and 60 yarders out of the running game just as easy as the passing game."

Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, who caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his Kansas debut, will replace Patterson with his 4.5 speed.
The newfound, ground-heavy attack is far away from the spread offense Mark Mangino ran, but that doesn't mean that a more balanced style won't provide just as many opposing defense-killing, scoring opportunities.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball to freshman running back Darrin Miller. "We did exactly what we wanted to do. We ran the ball and as quartbacks and receivers we made the plays that we needed and that's the team we need to be," Webb said.
"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in."

Woman calls boyfriend charged with stalking
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dutch prosecutors are charging a 42-year-old woman with stalking after she allegedly called her ex-boyfriend 65,000 times in the past year.
The 62-year-old victim from The Hague filed a police complaint in August due to the persistent phone calls. Police arrested the suspected stalker Monday, seizing several cell phones and computers from her
Hague prosecution spokeswoman Nicolette Stoel said Thursday the woman argued to judges at a preliminary hearing she had a relationship with the man and the number of calls she placed to him wasn't excessive. The man denied they had a relationship.

EDITORIAL
As current students, our generation came of age in a post-9/11 world.
Our 9/11 identity: tolerance and unity
Some of us remember where we were and what we were doing during the Sept. 11 attack, some don't want to remember, and some couldn't care less about it. But it's a fact that the attack has had a tremendous impact on each of our lives and futures.
The attack also sparked change in this nation's attitude, agenda
Dear awkward eating schedule, this has got to end. It's not me, it's you.
The vicious attack hit the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon, killing around 3,000 people in 2001, with another plane crashing in a field in Pennsylvania before it could reach its intended target. The attack showed us and the rest of the world that not even American citizens are completely safe from the dark side of a global society.
Thanks to Lady Gaga's new song, I feel way cooler because of Kansas' proximity to Nebraska.
I definitely forgot my dad's birthday was today. On a positive side, however, Anschutz got new toilet paper holders.
The next person I see with a rolling backpack I'm going to punch in the face.
I'm pretty sure my Intro to Fiction teacher hates puppies and kittens and wants to eat my soul.
and values. In the aftermath of 9/11, questions and assumptions about Islam and Middle-Eastern culture led to increased curiosity of many different cultures. Americans started opening their minds more to different ideas. We realized we weren at the top of the world anymore, and that we needed to start expanding our knowledge about other people.
The attack happened while most of us were in elementary or middle school. This event gave our generation an identity — much like President John F. Kennedy's assassination gave to the previous generations. We grew up on tolerance and mutual understanding as an antithesis to the closed view of terrorism. We witnessed the positives and negatives of our nation's response to the attack. We are united by a common event.
From the rubble of Ground Zero, and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, a new America was born and we are at the center of it. We are the generation that grew up with a clear understanding of what happened on 9/11, its global impact, and how our nation's response affected the world.
Leaders from older generations have tried their best to honor 9/11 victims by winning wars. But after 10 years, there's still death and dangerous terrorist activity threatening our nation. August was the deadliest month for U.S. armed forces in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden is dead, yet terror levels are still increasing.
A perfect example of this is University of Kansas professors' response to the attacks. In 2002, academic departments collaborated to create the Humanities and Western Civilization Program. The University staff recognized a need to promote understanding, acceptance and tolerance for world religions and cultures.Today,the classes teach basic concepts of understanding different points of view.
Very soon, we will lead this world.
The best way our generation can honor those who died in an act of misunderstanding and hate is to spread the unique, positive values we've realized while growing up after this tragedy.
We can shape this world to run on mutual understanding, rather than greed and hate. It's up to us to rid this world of intolerance.
I love how there are always 3=three boobie comments in the FFA.
I've driven a police car and I've driven a charger, but never a combination of the two. Time to befriend the campus police? I think so.

Partake in the joy of game days
Despite not having attended a single Kansas football game in three years, I happen to know a thing or two about game days.
By Jordan Gormley
jgormley@kansan.com
twitter.com/jjgormley
Game days in Lawrence are quite the spectacle. If you have never experienced a game day, I strongly recommend you escape the rock under which you've been hiding. You'll thank me when you do; I suggest via Twitter.
Everybody has their own idea of what a game day is all about. Whether they wait in line to make sure they're close enough to see the sweat dripping from the players or simply attend a tailgate party, students love their game days.
Drinking games, social interaction and general debauchery are three of the most common activities I've seen at tailgates. There is rarely a time when a tailgate isn't a blast. Even in the rain, people still find a way to make do and enjoy themselves. After all, game day parties are limited. Be sure to take advantage.
The tailgates attract giant crowds. Do not assume for a second that you will attend "just another house party." From what I have witnessed, a tailgate is a day-long house party on steroids. Not to worry, your party should not be tested for performance enhancers. Just be sure to act responsibly and pace yourself.
Game days are also a great opportunity for students to have a leisurely day with their families. Parents, especially alumni, seem to revel in the opportunity to spend a game day with their child. It is also a time when you may be able to see a side of your parents that you never have. Many parents accept the fact that once you're in college, you are able to party if you'd like. If you're so lucky, then perhaps you may be able to bond with your parents over drinks rather than at the family dinner table.
Don't let the drinking overwhelm you, though. Everybody knows the real reason for game day festivities is to show your school spirit for the squad. As I said before, I haven't been to a game in three years. However, I would not consider myself out of the ordinary. Realistically, there is not enough seating in beloved Memorial Stadium to fit every student. As a
result, I selflessly forgo my opportunity to attend games so those who are dying to go are able to do so. Just say hi to Turner for me.
So whether you are in the front row screaming obscenities every kickoff or passed out on a couch on the porch of your best friend's house, hopefully you won't overlook the next game day. Perhaps you'll become part of the best beer darts duo to ever live. Perhaps you'll find out something new about your
parents. Maybe you'll enjoy four quarters of football and funnel cake. Regardless of what floats your boat, make sure you don't overlook game days this football season. After all, you can't tailgate outside of Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

The Kansas Jayhawks effectively shut down the McNeese State rushing attack in their season opener, allowing the Cowboys to average just 2.8 yards per carry.
Northern Illinois, the Jayhawks week two opponent, represents a steep jump in the level of competition, as the Jayhawks will face an offense that shredded Army for 49 points and 509 yards last weekend.
FRIDAY,SEPTEMBER 9,2011
"They're a great team, they have a great quarterback, and I watched the film and they have a couple of great running backs too," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "We're going to have to bring our big boy pads to be able to play."
The Northern Illinois attack starts with senior quarterback Chandler Harnish. Harnish threw for 195 yards and five touchdowns against Army. He also added 80 yards and one touchdown on the ground.
"It's exciting for us, because we're expecting him to come at us," junior linebacker Malcolm Walker said. "It's good for us knowing he's not looking to slide. Since we're a fast defense, there is no slowing us down knowing he is going to go out there and play aggressive."
Just as impressive for the Huskies last week was senior running back Jasmin Hopkins who picked up 138 yards on just 14 carries, averaging 9.9 yards per rush.

Jayhawks ignore underdog talk
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Taking on the underdog role isn't so bad — if you use it to your advantage.
Kansas can kiss its days as a favorite goodbye. Northern Illinois is not your typical small school football team coming into Memorial Stadium on Saturday, and the odds set in Las Vegas prove it.
The Jayhawks opened as a seven-point underdog against the Huskies, a team that is favored to win the Mid-Atlantic Conference.
Being projected to lose is not necessarily a bad thing for the Jayhawks, as they have taken the lack of respect to the practice field.
"Kansas is always the underdog, so it's nothing new," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "When we go out to practice, we'll be able to go out and use it as motivation and really use it to be able to push ourselves when we get tired."
After this Saturday, the Jayhawks' only remaining non-conference game will be in Atlanta against Georgia Tech. Once that's
done, Big 12 play starts and as Kansas was picked to finish last in the conference, it will be the underdog from here on out.
When senior center Jeremiah Hatch notified sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb of its underdog status to the Huskies, they didn't let it get them down. In fact, it did the opposite.
MIKE GIUNNOF/KANSAN
"Hatch was the one who told me, and he was like 'I like it, I'll play the underdog role.' Webb said. "We came into last week with people saying we might lose against McNeese, so it doesn't really matter, I guess."
It's worked before as Kansas showed the fire that can be ignited from being disrespected nationally in the media last season.

COMMENTARY
Weak secondary should be first priority
The young unit was more than burned last Saturday against McNese State. It was roasted, scorched and sautéed, giving up an unacceptable 325 passing yards to quarterback Cody Stroud and his backup Riley Dodge, Overall, McNese State quarterbacks were 31-for-41 on passing attempts with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
In a season sure to have many growing pains, the most painful may come in the inexperienced Jayhawks secondary.
Stroud, who finished 22-for-27 with 218 yards passing, notched an 81.5 percent completion percentage. That is one of the highest marks in McNeese State history. He twice completed eight consecutive passes.
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com

Ultimately, the Kansas offense bailed out the defense by scoring 42 points. But even when Kansas went with a 55-to-10 run-to-pass ratio, McNeese State still dominated the time of possession, 34:47 to 25:13.
One of the biggest challenges the members of the Kansas secondary face is their unfamiliarity with their positions. Two of the starters on defense, senior cornerback Isiah Barfield and junior safety Bradley McDougald, are converted wide receivers. That experience at wideout might help give the two perspective eventually, but that will serve as no consolation to jaded Kansas fans if the secondary continues to blow coverage as they did last week.
It is tough to criticize coach Turner Gill for converting McDougald, who
some considered the team's best wide receiver heading into last season, while simultaneously praising him for a similar decision. In a move that was widely panned at the time, Gill decided to convert junior Toben Opurum from running back to defensive end prior to the 2010 season. Opurum blossomed into a critical asset on defense by year's end, outperforming senior jake Laptad at the position. Opurum picked up where he left off last season, recording a sack and 11 tackles against McNeese State.
Moving Opurm also opened the door for James Sims, now a sophomore, to take control of the Kansas ground game. Like Opurm, Sims led the team in rushing in his first season. He finished last Saturday's game with 104 rushing and a touchdown
Perhaps Gill sees something in McDougall that screams shutdown safety. Or maybe converting him opened a door for freshman JaCorey Shepherd, who wowed fans against McNeese State with three reactions
for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Whatever the case may be, there will be no room for error against the precise passing attack of the Northern Illinois Huskies.
If the underdog Jayhawks pull off the upset at home tomorrow, Gill may make another important conversion: his skeptical fanbase.
Tomorrow against Northern Illinois (1-0), there will be no bailouts. The Huskies mauled their first opponent Army en route to a 49-26 victory. Quarterback Chandler H夹窜 threw only 19 passes, but he made the most of each. He finished with five touchdowns to five different receivers.
The Kansas secondary's performance tomorrow will be very important in projecting this team's prospects for the rest of the season. Is there potential here, or just potential for disaster?

OFFENSE
The offense came in with a game plan to run the ball against McNeese State and they executed that plan about as well as possible. There was nothing the Cowbys defense could do against the Kansas offense that averaged 5.5 yards a carry and 6.9 yards per play. Jordan Webb showed off how he improved this offseason, by completing 70 percent of his passes and throwing the long ball with precision. The Huskies' defense will be the first true test of the Kansas offense.

DEFENSE
While the defensive line and linebackers had a decent performance against McNeese State, the secondary was absolutely torched. The Jayhawks allowed only 2.8 yards a carry for the Cowboys, who ran the ball 34 times. The secondary gave up over 10 yards a completion, as the Cowboys killed the Jayhawks with the screen pass. Northern Illinois brings in a talented offense that put up more than 500 yards against Army. Kansas' defense will either show that the McNeese State performance was just a fluke, or that it will be a long season for the Jayhawks' secondary.

This week is the first true test for the Jayhawks. They pounded McNeese State with the run, allowing them to also pick the Cowboys apart in the air.

QUESTION MARKS
Is the secondary really that bad?
it is, by no means, a good sign if your pass defense gets torched by McNeese State. The Jayhawks gave up 325 yards in the air and forced only 10 incompletions against a Cowboys team that was alternating quarterbacks all game. Senior quarterback Chandler Harnish broke a 47 year single season and career total offense record for the Huskies. Play time is over if the Jayhawks were holding back against McNeese State, because Northern Illinois' passing game could potentially make them look very bad.
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ...
The Jayhawks get off to a fast start and if the defense has a better performance. If Kansas can score early in the game and get the ground attack go again, things will go well for the Jayhawks. If the Jayhawks score early and the defense can improve on last week's performance. Kansas will come away with a victory.

In New York City, nearly 5,000 people remained missing on Sept. 13, and tens of thousands of evacuated New Yorkers were still unable to return home. Classes at the University were canceled for two hours so students, faculty and staff could "attend a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance service at noon at the Lied Center." The night before, nearly 1,000 people gathered at the Campanile for acandlelight vigil to honor victims of the attacks. In another move of respect, the Big 12 athletic directors decided on afternoon of the 13th to cancel all weekend events, including Kansas scheduled home football game against Wyoming.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough; for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."

"We feel like we have a running game that is built for explosive plays," Webb said. "We can get the 70 and 60 holders out of the running game just as easy as the passing game."
Even though the run-game is full of playmakers, the receivers are without one of their top players. Senior Daymond
"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in."

Alumni share firsthand experiences
LUKE RANKER

In the Midwest, the University of Kansas may have seemed sheltered from the tragedy unfolding during the East Coast terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, but some University alumni had firsthand experience. The tragedy affected each one in a different way.
"I lost three friends that worked for institutional investment firms located in the World Trade," David Griffith said.
Griffith, a 1986 graduate, was home on the Upper East Side when the planes struck the towers.
Neva Murphy, a 1985 graduate, worked at a Washington, D.C., development company. She said the memory of smoke rising at the Pentagon from her office four miles away will always be with her.
"Even though I went to work the next day, for the better part of six weeks I became agitated anytime I heard sirens or fighter jets," Murphy said.
Doug Glass, a 1995 graduate, had been in Buffalo, N.Y., working on a project for IBM on Sept. 11, but he returned to the city after the attack. His friend had planned a party for that weekend prior to the attacks and decided to have it anyway.
"I'll never forget taking a subway across the Manhattan Bridge to the party in Brooklyn with the smoke still rising from the fires of the rubble" Glass said.
Glass said the mood of the party was full of gloom and uncertainty.
PAGE 3B
The party wasn't the only way Glass chose to ignore the calamity. Sept. 11 did not stop Glass or Griffith from flying. Just days after the attacks both men boarded planes in New York.
Glass flew back to Buffalo the following Monday, and Griffith flew to London for a previously planned vacation.
"I didn't think it was a big deal," said Griffith, who grew up in an Air Force family and loved flying. "I certainly didn't feel like I could let terrorists change my travel plans."
For some, flying was a way to continue a normal life after the attacks.
"I wasn't afraid of flying. In a small way, it was an act of defiance." Glass said.
McCoy covered the tragedy for WBNS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Columbus, Ohio. He remembers leaving Ohio and immediately noticing the different atmosphere landing in New York.
"It was in the 80's and sunny (when we left). It was still summer. But by the end of the week it was cool and dark. It was fall," McCoy said. "I guess it was just the dichotomy of the experience"
"I certainly didn't feel like I could let terrorists change my travel plans."
"Al-Qaeda wanted to shut down the free world, and did for a few days. So flying was me telling them to go to hell. I'm not saying I handled it better, just differently."
When the North Tower of the
While Glass and Griffith both chose to defy the terrorists as their way of moving on, Murphy found comfort in her home.
"I had a beautiful view of the National Cathedral from every window in my condo. Just seeing it lit up gave me comfort that night," Murphy said.
Bernard McCoy, 1979 graduate, remembered many things about Sept. 11 and the days following, but a few moments especially stick out.
DAVID GRIFFITH Kansas alumnus
ower of the World Trade Center was hit, he was at home in Ohio, getting his kids ready for school. He and his photographer, Chris Hedrick, were preparing to leave for an assignment upstate.
At the time, neither knew the crash was an act of terrorism. They learned of the second plane crash during their drive north.
As the story unfolded over the radio, the magnitude of the situation began to sink in.
"About 60 or 70 miles north of Columbus, we decided to call our news director," McCoy said. "A few minutes later he called back. He told us to turn right and go to New York."
They drove across Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to arrive at Liberty State Park, directly
across the Hudson from Ground Zero, just in time to broadcast on the 11:00 p.m. news. McCoy remembers the scene coming into Jersey City, N.J.
"To the east it looked like a giant cloud was enveloping the city," McCoy said.
He said that as they came over a ridge into the river valley, they could tell the cloud was actually smoke coming from where the Trade Center once stood.
"It was like a cauldron of a smoldering volcano," he said.
The night after the attacks, McCoy and Hedrick went across the Hudson to interview rescue workers. McCoy said they took the only subway running from New Jersey to New York, but it was basically vacant. On the way back that night, McCoy can remember a woman in their train car suddenly bursting into tears.
Through their experiences, McCoy and Griffith both said that the courage and compassion of the citizens of New York made an impression.
"I guess what sticks with me even now was the camaraderie of New Yorkers in recovering and rebuilding," Griffith said.
He said he and several other University alumni volunteered at a restaurant that served Ground Zero rescue workers.
"They really came together to get through the tragedy," McCoy said. "We began to witness this incredible outpouring of people helping."

Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.

GI Bill gets complicated for vets
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
The Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Improvement Act was intended to simplify the application process for and delivery of the GI Bill's benefits, according to the US Department of Veteran Affairs' website.
However, for the University's Office of Veteran Services, the new bill only further complicates its job, forcing some student veterans at the University of Kansas to wait for their financial support.
"Generally they would have already paid my tuition and given the refund by now," said Jake Robinson, senior from Oberlin and an Army veteran of the war in Iraq.
The bill, signed into law by President Obama in January 2010, amends the original post-9/11 GI Bill and expands the pool of eligible recipients. The bill now allows for: National Guard members, students of non-college degree programs and those involved in on-the-job training to receive benefits.
Additionally, the bill protrates a student's GI Bill benefits according to any additional grants or scholarships designated for tuition and fees.
PETER TURNER
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN President Obama signed the Gl bill into law in January 2010, amending the original post-9/11 bill. This change expanded the pool of eligible recipients.
While the bill is more inclusive, its conditions are troublesome for both students and the University's Office of Veteran Services, according to Betty Colbert, the University's Veteran Affairs certifying official.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"It has not gotten better — it's gotten worse;" Colbert said.
Cobert said that because of the bins' stipulations must review her work with other University offices, such as the advising center, which lengthens the amount of time to process each student's application.
She said that before the bill's changes a student's application would take about 30 to 45 minutes to process, but now the procedure can take up to two hours.
LAWRENCE VETERAN'S DAY 5k Run
2nd Annual - Saturday November 13 2010
Run with those who have served & those you love
And for some of the bill's 463 beneficiaries at the University, Colbert said, the added processing time can add up to significant delays.
"It gets so convoluted." Colbert said.
Felix Zacharias, a graduate student from Wichita and Marine veteran of the war in Iraq, said he's concerned with the new bill's delays.
Edited by Ben Chipman
"It's irritating for me personally," Zacharias said. "That my fellow veterans are getting mistreated — intentionally or not."
While some veterans feel the VA could improve its handling of the bill, others are pleased that more people can benefit from its changes.
"It's a little bit of a hassle," Robinson said. "But it's a small price to pay to make sure that a lot of people that wouldn't have got the benefits before are going to get them."

Dave Doeren is in his first season as Northern Illinois football coach. He spent the past five seasons as co-defensive coordinator at Wisconsin. Doeren, a Shawnee Mission native and graduate from Bishop Miege High School, spent four seasons as the linebackers coach, and eventually co-defensive coordinator at Kansas under Mark Mangino before leaving for Wisconsin.
MOMENTUM
The Huskies routed Army in their season opener and are coming off a season where they made it to the MAC championship game and won the 2010 Humanitarian Bowl. They have had success in the past against BCS schools, defeating Minnesota in the Twin Cities 34-23 last season.

The Huskies will present the first true test for the young Jayhawks. The Huskies looked dominant in their opening win over Army, putting 49 points on the board, and holding Army to just six points until the back-ups entered in the fourth quarter.

"We all kind of take it personal," Terry said. "All we can do is not listen to what people say, go out, play hard and win the game."
Not only is it rare for a non Bowl Championship Series (BCS) qualifying team to be the favorite when playing a school in a bigger conference, it's even more rare for that smaller school to be favored on the road.
There's no question that Northern Illinois is a quality team. It finished 11-3 last season and won its conference. Its quarterback broke single season and career total yards records that had lasted for 47 years.
And that's what matters to Kansas, not the predictions and not the underdog talk. What does matter is what transpires on the field for 60 minutes of playing time Saturday.
"No matter what happens, if we're the underdog or picked to win by 27, were going to go out there and play our hardest," sophomore safety Tyler Patron said.

The Jayhawks struggled to contain the McNeese State passing attack, allowing 325 yards. Now they face Harnish, who holds the record for most yards of total offense in Northern Illinois history.
"It was just the first game jitters, finally getting back into play. I think we should be fine this week," freshman safety Keeston Terry said
Against Army, Harnish spread the ball around, throwing touchdowns to five different receivers, including a 58-yard touchdown pass to junior running back Jamal Wombel.
That should be especially concerning to Kansas, as McNeese State junior running back Champlain Babin led the Cowboys with 108 yards receiving against the lavwhaws

last game and I know NIU took a screen to the house against Army, just focus on that, don't overdo it, because I know we can defend the screen, we just got into a bad position against McNeese," Johnson said.
Despite winning their first game, Kansas will enter their contest with Northern Illinois at Memorial Stadium as a seven point underdog.
"I try not to think about that, I just go game by game. Our strength coach calls it a one game season. Alright we had a season last week and we're one and zero. Alright we have a season this week, let's go one and zero," Johnson said.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, who caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his Kansas debut, will replace Patterson with his 4.5 speed.
"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in"
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball to freshman running back Darran Miller. "We did exactly what we wanted to do. We ran the ball and as quartbacks and receivers we made the plays that we needed to and that's the team we need to be." Webb said.
The newfound, ground-heavy attack is far away from the spread offense Mark Mangino ran, but that doesn't mean that a more balanced style won't provide just as many opposing defense-killing, scoring opportunities.

Thirteen escape unharmed from Tennessee Street blaze

A house burned on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street Sunday. All occupants escaped unharmed, but the house suffered severe damage.

All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.

Andrew Adford, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif., was one of the first to discover a sofa on fire on the porch. After waking several people on the first floor, Adford saw that the fire had grown out of control and consumed the porch.
"The fire alarm was going, but people were still sleeping." Adford
Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.

SOCCER
Team focused on starting strong in weekend series
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
On the verge of eclipsing last year's win total of six, the soccer team will travel to West Lafayette, Ind., this weekend to play in the Boilermaker Challenge today and Sunday.
Their first matchup of the weekend will be against the Dayton Flyers who recently dropped out of the Top 25 polls.
Although the Flyers are an unfamiliar opponent, the Jayhawks (5-1) are more focused on interior development.
"I think the main focus is us and how we play as a group," junior midfielder Amy Grow said. "I think
we just need to put confidence in our abilities and let it play out from there."
The coaching staff highlighted the team's physical and focus against last week's opponents
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, they roster players such as Madi Hillis who compete with a mean streak.
Hills' aggressiveness helped her team defeat South Dakota State last Sunday.
That intensity can work against her as well, as she received a yellow card during the 64th minute of the match.
"It just takes one person making a good tackle and our momentum can start going that way," said Hillis.
As for the rest of the team, they realize that performing physically is something to focus on during practice.
"I think we just need to put confidence in our abilities and let it play out from there."
"I think a lot of that comes from working hard during the game," Grow said. "It's just a mentality that we need to improve and that's being addressed this week in practice because we definitely hit a slump."

haven't given up that many goals, but we haven't had a shutout either," coach Mark Francis said.
Four out of the five wins this season came
Solidifying that first clean sheet starts with shoring up the back line. While the newcomers on the front line have quickly adapted to the college level, Francis knows it's not a seamless transition for the defenders.
"Offensively some of the goals we've been scoring is a good individual play by one kid, but in the back that's not the way it works," Francis said. "They need to all be in unison and all be together, so that part takes longer to get together usually."
Still Kansas is not worried about the other components of its game coming together. The Jayhawks know the team's supplementary abilities will help them continue to push forward.
The first game of the weekend is against Dayton at 4 p.m. on Friday night. The tournament finishes up on Sunday at 10 a.m. as Kansas plays the winner of Friday's game between Purdue and Cal State Northridge.

After home wins, volleyball hits the road
Kansas ready to face Minnesota, St. Louis, Northern Iowa
MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team credited an electric home environment for their performance last week at the Jayhawk Invitational.
They'll have to hold on to that feeling because today marks the beginning of one of the longest road trips in program history.
The Jayhawks (6-0) will face back-to-back ranked teams this weekend as part of the Northern Iowa Invitational in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The action begins tonight against the host school, No. 15 Northern Iowa (7-0), at 7 p.m. at
the McLeod Center. Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will face Big 10 powerhouse No. 6 Minnesota (3-1) at 10 a.m. before wrapping up play for the weekend against St. Louis (3-1).
Bechard's squad will go almost a full month without a home game, returning to action at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center on Sept. 28 against No. 17 Iowa State. The long layoff surprised even Bechard.
"I didn't realize we weren't home for that long," Bechard said. "That will make us road tested I guess, huh?"
"This is our weekend to really garner some attention," said coach Ray Bechard. "We've played some competitive teams, but we haven't played ranked teams yet. This will be the weekend for us to have that opportunity."
There are only two losses collectively among the four teams at this weekend's invitational. Minnesota turned heads last weekend by sweeping Texas in consecutive games.
"We have to look forward to the future. We're going to show you that we should belong with those teams."
Sophomore libero Brianne Riley said the team is looking at this weekend as an opportunity to
KARA WEHRS Sophomore setter
garner national attention and perhaps a ranking of their own.
"We try not to let the rankings scare us, but we try to use it as motivation," Riley said. "I think as a team we know we
can play with them. It's just a matter of going out there, and we've got to be on."
The lengthy lavoff between invitationals has given Bechard time to tweak problem areas, but he said it could also pose a problem if it
hurts the team's momentum.
"It's the time of season where we as coaches think it's great to have long gaps between matches, but the players probably would like to play more often," Bechard said. "But that will come when league play starts."
Sophomore setter Kara Wehrs said she is looking forward to turning the tables on the Panthers and handing them a loss on their home court.
Northern Iowa defeated Kansas last year in five sets in Lawrence, a critical loss to an eventual top-seeded team. A win against Northern Iowa could have put the Jayhawks into the NCAA Tournament discussion.

The first time sophomore forward Tania Jackson played without a knee brace was an accident. The Kansas womens basketball player didn't realize she was playing without it until she was alerted by a teammate during a pick-up game this summer and Jackson was shocked. She rushed to put it back on and return to the safety and assurance that the brace offered. Similar instances occurred at practices after that before she was confident enough to lose the brace on purpose.
Now, three years after tearing her

as never physical," Jackson said. Assistant coach Tory Verdi helped Jackson through her first season playing at Kansas. He noticed the mental strain of the
injury.

iniurv.
Once she was able to let go of the physical brace, she broke down the figurative mental brace that had been holding her back. Jackson did this by letting go, releasing control and focusing on playing her best game.
"I realized that if it tears again, it tears again, I put it all in God's hands," Jackson said.
This summer she committed time to the weight room and worked on getting more aggressive
“Last year I was pretty timid because my knee was always in my head, but I do not think about it now and I think that helps a lot,”
Since Jackson arrived on campus in the summer of 2009, she has been working with the strength and conditioning staff on proper techniques to avoid future

as a post player.
Last season, Jackson earned 11 starts and played in all but one game as the Jayhawks went to the second round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament (NIT). She averaged 4.4 points and 3 rebounds per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the field.
As a forward, Jackson can also shoot three pointers which helps to spread the defense.
At the end of her first season with the Jayhawks, Jackson was named the Most Improved Player
"She came back strong," senor forward Aishah Sutherland said. "She improved her overall game, posting up, running, and being communicative."
Jackson was surprised by the award, but said it was a major honor especially coming off her injury.
"It signifies the hard work I have put in," Jackson said. "It is one piece to the puzzle of my career, but I am eager to do more."
Jackson is working with Verdi on getting tougher and more aggressive in the post. She is also working on bringing her game back toward the basket by practicing more face up and post up drills.
One other goal for Jackson is to become a leader as a veteran of the
team. Because of her experience watching from the sidelines, Jackson prepared herself as a vocal and emotional leader of her high school team and the role transferred to Kansas.
"I tried to be as loud as I could and as encouraging as I could, it transferred over because I sat out my freshman year and that was the only way I knew how to help," Jackson said.
Her communication transferred to the court, where she leads the pregame chant and is enthusiastic and vocal throughout the game.
"She does an unbelievable job of communicating and that covers a lot of mistakes," Verdi said. "It gets people where they need to be on the court."
Sutherland sees the good effects of this passion on and off the court.
"She gets people hyped," Sutherland said. "she makes us laugh."
Jackson is excited for the season and says her knee feels good though she still ices it after practice as a cautionary measure. She is proud to play without the brace and said it gave her new life. She is faster, stronger and more ready to play this season than ever before.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.

Packers goal line stand seals victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Aaron Rodgers came out on top in a memorable opening-night duel with Drew Brees and the Green Bay Packers came up with a goal-line stand on the final play of the game to beat the New Orleans Saints 42-34 on Thursday night.
After a Green Bay punt, Brees marched the Saints to the Packers 9-yard line and spiked the ball with 3 seconds left. Green Bay's A.J. Hawk was called for pass interference and the ball was placed at the 1.
Packers rookie Randall Cobb caught a touchdown from Rodgers and ran a kickoff back 108 yards for a score in the third quarter, tying an NFL record for the longest kickoff return in history.
Rodgers threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns. Brees threw for 419 yards and three touchdowns, including a late touchdown to Jimmy Graham that cut the lead to 8 with 2:15 left.
The Packers swarmed rookie Mark Ingram, and the game was over.
Rodgers threw three first-quarter TD passes finding Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson and Cobb as Green Bay's offense picked up where it left off after a 31-25 win over Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl
The Saints cut the Packers lead to 28-20 on John Kasay's 38-yard field goal before Cobb's return.
PAGE 17
He avoided one tackle and broke through four other defenders for Green Bay's first kick return for a score in 11 years.
Drew Brees and New Orleans answered when he found Dewey Henderson for a 29-yard touchdown that made it 35-27 heading into the fourth.
Trailing 21-10 early in the second quarter, New Orleans got its own special teams boost when Darren Sproles returned a punt 72 yards for a touchdown. Sproles turned his back on the crowd, pointing emphatically to his name plate as Reggie Bush's replacement while a smattering of "Who Dat" chants could be heard in the overwhelmingly partisan Packers crowd.
Green Bay took a 28-17 halftime lead by using the run, and James Starks dragged safety Roman Harper into the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown following key blocks by Scott Wells and T.J. Lang.
The Packers have won a record 13 NFL championships, including four Super Bowls.
Rodgers, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, was 21 of 29 for 257 yards heading into the fourth quarter to continue his strong string of performances after leading the Packers to four postseason wins for the team's first title since 1997.

All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.

Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What was Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren's first coaching job?
niuhuskies.com
A: Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in Shawnee.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
I grew up there and all my friends and family, for the most part, are back there. It will be fun to have those people show up to the game and be around with my family, who travels to the game. But when the clock starts, it will be just another game for our guys and me."

Northern Illinois and Kansas have played once before; Kansas lost 37-34 in the season opener in Lawrence.

THE MORNING BREW
Bros vs. Joes: A Jayhawk Story
Last Saturday the Kansas football team was victorious against their opponents, the McNeese State Cowboys. I am here to tell you a tale of how one unknown hero inspired others to band together in brotherhood to support the football team against their foe.
Two Kansas students, Jay and Hawk, through determination and perseverance had managed to obtain quality seats in the third row, right behind the opposing team's bench.
By Kenton Watkins
kwatkins@kansan.com
From these seats, these two students would witness random strangers embracing each other after the inspiration of a single person. Jay and Hawk-and many of the more passionate students around them in the front rows-had entered into an open forum of trash-talking with the enemy Cowboys. These students attempted to capitalize on the lack of discipline that the Cowboys players were displaying by trying to get into their heads.
After spending most of the first quarter ridiculing Cowboys starting running back Andre Anderson about his ridiculous half-fade-half-mohawk hairido, the students turned their attention to another player.
This player was the Cowboy's captain and defensive leader, linebacker Joe Narcisse, whose goal was to inspire and lead his team to victory.
After much back and forth trash talk between Joe and the fans around Jay and Hawk, it seemed as though Joe had gained the upper hand when his Cowboys stopped the Jayhawks in the red zone.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
However, Joe, in an extremely selfish move, committed a personal foul that allowed the Jayhawks to continue the drive which ended in a touchdown.
When Joe and his fellow defenders returned to their bench, Jay and Hawk's section let Joe know his mistake and that he had indeed let the whole team down. Joe compounded his irresponsible actions by throwing ice at the fans in Jay and
Hawk's section. After this heinous action, an unknown hero stood up for his brothers in fandom. This paragon of brotherhood returned fire with what looked like a game program, launching it at Joe and his teammates. This action, while not necessarily appropriate, inspired many more students in the area to unite with their brothers against Joe and his Cowboys.
Even though police looked for this unknown student, he was never found and apparently was able to find shelter within the crowd of his fellow Jayhawks. Meanwhile, Joe was busy gathering all allies against the fans. After McNeese scored, Joe unleashed his secret weapon upon Jay and Hawk's section—the team towel boy. This dwarf of a towel boy unleashed a tirade of expletives
upon the fans.
At this point, the unknown student's inspiration took hold and many students who were previously silent stood up and supported Jay and Hawk's section in their battle with Joe and this towel boy. After the towel boy was put back in his place, the fans again turned their attention to the Cowboys' defense.
The Jayhawks, as you know, were victorious that day. While it wasn't solely because of this unknown student's actions or the support of the students in Jay and Hawk's section, these students showed that when unified and supportive of their team and each other, fans can provide their team with a key advantage that can lead them to victory. While throwing things at the opposing team might not be necessary, let this story be an example of the difference that you as fans can make for your队 when you actually support them and fight for them.

17-14, Arizona State
James Franklin will be able to chalk this game up as a learning experience after he fails to lead the Tigers to the endzone in their two-minute drill, ending Missouri's 23-game regular season non-conference winning streak.
Mizzou freshman quarterback James Franklin looked shaky in his first start last week. This is his first road test, at night, on national television, in the desert. Enough said.
28-14, Arizona State
It's never easy for teams to go into Tempe and leave with a win. Missouri quarterback James Franklin was adequate in a very sloppy 17-6 win over Miami (OH), but the Sun Devils have all the momentum and home crowd behind them. Mizzou will be handed its first defeat of the post-Gobert Era.

After losing to Boise State last week the Bulldogs cannot afford to lose a second consecutive game to start the season. Georgia's offense will do well against a weak South Carolina defense, while their strength, defense, will do enough to slow down a good South Carolina offense.
31-24, Georgia
35-21, South Carolina
The combination of Stephen Garcia and Macrus Lattimore will overwhelm the Georgia defense. Don't expect Georgia to go down without a fight, but after losing to two top-25 teams to start off the year, the Bulldogs will have to claw their way through SEC play to become b驳ible.
27-23, South Carolina
South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia started the season on the bench because of off the field issues. He entered last week's game in the 2nd quarter and led the Gamecocks comeback. This will be close, but I don't trust Georgia.

BYU

The Bulldogs did not show up in a lackluster performance against Osceola State, while South Carolina was able to rally back and dominate late against East Carolina. Georgia head coach Mark Right's job is on the line, and I think the Bulldogs will rally around Richt. The Bulldogs get a hard-fought win between the hedges.
27-14, Texas
34-14, Texas
The ironic matchup of the week, as both teams were caught up in the conference realignment mess. BYU's one point win at Ole Miss is impressive, but Texas is no Ole Miss. The Longhorns will take care of business in Austin.
BYU keeps it close for most of the game a week after upsetting Ole Miss in a fall, leams that Austin is a whole different animal. Malcolm Brown and the Texas runners show off their stuff, tearing apart the worn down Cougars defense in the second half. Garrett Gilbert holds onto his job as Texas starting QB, at least till Big 12 play rolls around.
31-30, Texas
Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert wasn't great last season and he didn't impress me last week, either. Texas still has more talent across the board than BYU, but quarterback play will keep this one closer than the 7 point spread suggests.
33-14, Texas
BYU was able to start its independence off with a win, but the Longhorns present an entirely new challenge than Ole Miss. Texas is coming off a disappointing season, but it's hard to imagine Mack Brown has consecutive losing seasons in Austin. The Horns win big.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddsmakers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.
sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.

Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays." Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.

"We feel like we have a running game that is built for explosive plays," Webb said. "We can get the 70 and 60 yarders out of the running game just as easy as the passing game."
Even though the run-game is full of playmakers, the receivers are without one of their top players. Senior Daymond
Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, who caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his Kansas debut, will replace Patterson with his 4.5 speed.
The newfound, ground-heavy attack is far away from the spread offense Mark Mangino ran, but that doesn't mean that a more balanced style won't provide just as many opposing defense-killing, scoring opportunities.
"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in."

Lawrence residents gathered to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, Sunday afternoon at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Citizens filled Hansen Hall to honor the memory of the victims and heroes who fell prey to the acts of terrorism perpetrated ten years ago on 9/11. Organized by the group Interfaith, the commemoration entitled "From Fear to Hope" began with a solemn musical piece by The Almost All Clarinet Quartet.
After a few words of introduction from Dole Institute director William Lacy and Mayor Aron Cromwell. Choir director Susan Harper led the community choir in a rendition of "This is My Song."
Lawrence resident Jane Tedder, a firsthand witness to the 9/11 events in New York, told the crowd about her and her sister's departure from the World Trade Center Marriott hotel, located in between the twin towers.
"Debris was raining down on us as we ran as fast as we could across the street to the plaza in front of the World Financial Center buildings," Tedder said.
Tedder described seeing clouds of smoke and flame enveloping the air above her.
"Finally, we stop running and were able to look up at the horrible view confronting us",
she said. With a collective gasp, we all looked up to see two bodies free falling through the air. They looked like rag dolls lofting in the wind. It was unreal."

"To be honest, I had survivor's guilt for a long time afterwards," said Neal. "If that plane had just been one degree off it could have easily been my area to be hit. It was our job afterwards to try to comfort the families of those lost, and to be with those who were

Tedder told the crowd about what she saw as the second plane hit the south tower, and then her narrow escape as the two towers began to collapse.

dying."
Neal said he was also there to support two servicemen from the Pentagon who were fighting for their lives for nearly two months.
"It was very difficult," Neal said. "Then, being in the military, we started marching off to support the War on Terror"
The crowd honored the first responders who selflessly gave their lives to save others during and in the aftermath of the attacks on 9/11. A moment of silence was held as members of the Lawrence Police Department and
Douglas County Fire Medical Department represented all those who work to protect as first responders.
Eleven members, each of a different religious faith, from took the stage to each give consoling words of tolerance and cooperation. They gathered around a large candle set in front of the audience and, with candles of their own, proceeded to light the center candle in sibilance of hope for the future.
The ceremony concluded when Tedder and Neal carried a large wreath down the center of Hansen Hall. The wreath had five sides to represent the Pentagon, it was covered in native grasses and wild flowers to symbolize the Pennsylvania field where Flight 93 crashed, sunflowers for the Kansans lost, and a white ribbon draped across its width that read 'Remembering 9/11'. The wreath was placed between the two, ten-foot steel columns recovered from the wreckage of Ground Zero.

Thirteen escape unharmed from Tennessee Street blaze
THE HOUSE THAT HAD BEEN IN THE WAY OF DESTROYING A LISTENER. IT WAS ALSO NOW REMAINING AS A FIREHOUSE. THE BUILDING IS THE ONLY ONE IN THIS CITY WITH A FRONT GATE AND A STAIRWAY TO THE SHEETS. THE HOUSE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND IT WILL NOT BE COMPLETED Permanently.
A house burned on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street Sunday. All occupants escaped unharmed, but the house suffered severe damage.

All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.
"We're just so happy everyone
Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.
Andrew Adford, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif., was one of the first to discover a sofa on fire on the porch. After waking several people on the first floor, Adford saw that the fire had grown out of control and consumed the porch.
"The fire alarm was going, but people were still sleeping." Adford

said. After helping to warn people on the second and third floors, he exited the house through a third-floor fire escape.
John Kindscher, a sophomore from Leawood, also was asleep when the fire started.
"You don't really have time to think," he said. "Just try to get everybody and get out. The fire started so fast, and the smoke was so thick."
Some residents will stay with family in the Kansas City area while they make decisions about what to do next. Kathryn Tuttle, the Vice Provost for Student Success, contacted the students Sunday to
offer help obtaining textbooks, temporary housing and emergency funds. Students can donate household items and money at collection boxes located at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union or at the office of the Jayhawk Towers.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire-Medical is investigating the cause of the fire, according to Sgt. Randy Roberts, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.

Nate was expected to become a hurricane before hitting later Sunday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said late Saturday night.
Meanwhile, fishermen groups reported that at least a dozen of their colleagues aboard two Mexican shrimp boats went missing in the gulf on Friday. Nate was still moving toward the coast very slowly, but was expected to pick up some speed Saturday.

No U.S. troops were killed when the massive bomb loaded on a truck filled with firewood exploded Saturday night just outside the gates of Combat Outpost Sayed Abad in eastern Wardak province.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Security agents detained a man and shut down one of three terminals at the main airport in Kansas City Sunday after detecting suspicious items inside his carry-on luggage on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The man was stopped about 9:30 a.m. at the Southwest Airlines checkpoint at Kansas City International Airport. Transportation security agents who detected suspicious items in his bag asked to examine them, and he was detained when he refused, airline and law enforcement officials said.
The suspicious items tested negative for explosive materials, according to a statement from the Transportation Security Administration. A bomb squad and bomb-sniffing dogs remained on the scene Sunday afternoon, and passengers were being screened.
The man is the custody of airport security, she said.
BFI spokeswoman Bridget Patton declined to say what the man was carrying, but she said the bomb squad used a high-pressure water force to disrupt the package, allowing for evidence to be preserved.

Early indications were that the incident did not appear to be connected to terrorism, but the investigation was continuing and there had been no official determination, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing probe.
Airport spokesman Joe McBride said the airport had heightened security since Thursday because of the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, but there was no known threat involving the airport.
He described the customer, a white man in his 50s, as "belligerent" and said he had multiple carry-on bags.

Candlelight vigil commemorates 9/11

MARY EDWARDS medwards@kansan.com
Students and families came together last night for a candlelight memorial service on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Candlelights and a carillon musical performance presented by associate professor Elizabeth Berghout flooded the hill behind Spencer Research Library following speeches from leaders in the University and Lawrence communities.
"The service provided us with experiences touching multiple senses — light, music, words, our beautiful campus and the bringing together of community," senior vice provost Sarah Rosen said. "Each piece is an integral part of a community experience."
Student body president, Libby
Johnson, who was in seventh grade when the World Trade Centers were hit, spoke about how each generation has a defining moment and how people join together to support the entire community.
Johnson though students should reflect on 9/11 as both an individual and as a community.
"KU students should remember what 9/11 means to them, but students should also remember what it means to be a citizen of America, and a citizen of the world," she said. "The remembrance is meant to be adaptive to each student allowing them to remember how they want to, while still being with the community."
Mayor Aron Cromwell also emphasized the importance of coming together as a community. Cromwell mentioned that tragedy can either divide or bring together
a community, and that the 9/11 attacks brought more patriotism than he's seen in his lifetime.
Rosen's speech recalled stories of survivors of the 9/11 attacks and focused on accepting diversity in our KU community.
"We must continually work to be a community and to better our community, and to embrace the diversity of our student body and the cultures that are brought together to make the KU community what it is," Rosen said.
Once the speeches concluded, candles were illuminated one by one, lit first by each of the speakers. Attendees listened silently, while the bells in the Campanile rang across campus.
Katie, Fankhauser, a junior from Topeka, attended the memorial service because she thinks it's important to remember the events
of 9/11.
"Students should never forget that 9/11 happened in the first place," she said. "We also should never forget the impacts it had and continues to have on those around us and how we joined together as a community."

Bush, Obama speak at ground zero memorial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago.
In New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, across the United States and the world, people carried out rituals now as familiar as they are heartbreaking: American flags unfurled at the new World Trade
Center tower and the Eiffel Tower, and tears shed at the base of the Pentagon and a base in Iraq.
President Barack Obama quoted the Bible and spoke of finding strength in fear. George W. Bush, still new to the presidency that day, invoked the national sacrifice of the Civil War. Vice President Joe Biden said hope must grow from tragedy.
And Jessica Rhodes talked about her nice, Kathryn L. LaBorie, the lead flight attendant on the plane that hit the south tower. She remembered a radiant smile and infinite compassion, and suggested that now, 10 years on, it is time to turn a corner.
"Although she may not ever be found, she will never ever be lost to her family and her friends," Rhodes said after she read a segment of the list of the dead at ground zero.
It was the 10th time the nation has paused to remember a defining day. In doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life — and the death at American hands of the elusive terrorist who masterminded the attack.
The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially, authorities were on alert.

City officials, skating enthusiasts work on park renovation plans
Park
JOHN GARFIELD/KANSAN
While still a community favorite at Centennial Skate Park, the mini-ramp's surfacing has come unhinged over the years.
Construction on $125,000 project will begin next spring
JOHN GARFIELD
jogarfield@kansan.com
In the valley of Lawrence's Centennial Park, a shroud of trees obsures one of the city's most popular subcultures. Centennial Skate Park serves as a home away from home for skaters of all ages, with many more coming to observe the spectacle of local talent. At 13 years old, however, the park is older than some of the skaters and is starting to show its age.
"The ground of the skate park is horrible. There are just holes everywhere and if you land something, more than likely you are just going to stick and fall. It is not a good environment to learn stuff in," said Garrett Rathbone, a junior from McPherson. "The park is amazing to skate, it just sucks whenever
Lawrence Parks and Recreation secured $125,000 in bond-based funding through the city commission last month. The funding will be used to repair the deteriorating infrastructure and fault lines that run the length of the park in early 2012.
you roll around. You have to worry about falling just because you hit a crack."
Centennial Skate Park has undergone multiple renovations since its $160,000 construction in 1998. The park was resurfaced in 2009 for $30,000, and again under warranty in 2010 when the fault lines reappeared.
"There's holes everywhere and there's cracks everywhere, and it's very poorly fixed every time," said Luke Clark, a junior from Olathe.
"The ground before was basically just asphalt-ish rocks where if you tell it would just cheese-grate your whole body. That was before I moved here," Rathbone said. "Once I moved here it was like this rubbery substance that, in the summertime, when it gets above 90, you just can't roll through it - you stick into it."
Lawrence skateboarders have organized and are working with the city to make sure that this next renovation works, holding regular meetings at White Chocolate Skateboards at 933 Massachusetts Street. Mark Hecker, parks and maintenance superintendent, said
The current material covering the
flat bottom of the park has garnered complaints from the skateboarding community, although many skaters consider it an improvement over the original asphault.
"The problem on this is going to be scope," Hecker said. "We're going to find out really quick that $125,000 isn't gonna do everything that everybody wants to do. We won't get as much as everybody wants."
the city plans to work with a steering committee of 10 to 12 people involved with the skateboarding community to make sure that their needs are addressed.
Construction is currently in the planning phase and is scheduled to begin in Spring 2012, according to Hecker.

The Lawrence Skaters Association meets Mondays at 6 p.m. at White Chocolate, and is open to the community to field suggestions for the park's renovation.

LOS ANGELES — Can't get enough of Anderson Cooper and Dr. Drew Pinsky? You might soon change your mind. The two hosts are adding daytime talk shows to their already hectic schedules.
CNN anchors to host talk shows
Cooper, who anchors for CNN two hours a night, does six pieces for "60 Minutes" a year and hoots it to trouble spots like Joplin, M., or Cairo, Egypt, will preside over "Anderson" (premiere Monday), which promises to be a hipper version of the old "Phil Donauhue" show.
Pinsky, who has a weeknight show on CNN's Headline News channel, co-pitches the long-running radio program "Loveline" and still sees patients at the University of Southern California's school of medicine, has "Dr. Drew's Lifechangers" (begins Sept. 19). The emotionally charged hour will guide
guests through personal problems. Oh, and the good doctor says he's open to doing more editions of "Celebrity Rehab."
Don't bet on either man to ease off the accelerator.
Who will burn out first, the audience or the talent?
Cooper, 44, said he'll use only 20 of his 30 vacation days this year, about the same ratio he's stuck to for the past decade.
"I manage my time really well," he said. "It's going to be a lot of work, but I like working hard, I find it energizing as opposed to tiring. Plus, it's TV, so it's not like it's real work."
Pinsky, 52, swore that his current schedule is light compared with his time as a full-time doctor, when he worked 16 to 18 hours most weekdays, and eight hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

Blink-182 adds humor, new music to concert
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcinolla@kansan.com
Screams filled the air as the 5,000 people in the general admission area pushed their way closer to Blink-182, encouraged by the opening chords of "Feeling This." The band played Friday night at Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone in Bonner Springs. For many in the crowd, the show was an opportunity to see one of their favorite childhood bands.
"They played songs from every part of their career, making it easy for every die-hard fan to enjoy it," Ashley Hight, 20, Overland Park, said. She said she had been a fan of the trio since middle school.
The pop-punk group released its first album in 1994 and consistently recorded and toured until taking a break in 2005 to pursue side projects. Although the band reunited and toured with Weezer in 2009, its performances in this summer's Honda Civic Tour mark
The new album, "Neighborhoods," is set to be released on Sept. 27. The band played three songs from it, including the recently released single, "Up All Night."
Blink-182 also incorporated its trademark humor into the show, playing a few of its more comedic songs and joking about the pitfalls of being famous.
"Everybody thinks it's so easy being on tour. But we've been working for three straight days," Mark Hoppus, bassist for the band, said on stage. "Tom didn't get a massage today. Travis was forced to wake up at the crack of 11," he said, refering to the band's lead singer and guitarist, Tom Delonge, and drummer, Travis Barker.
As part of the audience, Hight said she liked that they brought in humor and remained sober throughout the performance,
which was not the case at a past show she attended.
"I was happy to see they weren't wasted this time and their cheesy and hilarious banter back and forth made the show complete," she said.
The performance was met with enthusiasm. Fans were so aggressive in trying to get to the front of the stage that Blink-182 had to stop playing and ask fans to back up a collapsed barricade could be fixed.
Matt and Kim and My Chemical Romance were the opening acts, and while they were well received by the crowd, not everybody was a fan.
"My Chemical Romance wasn't my cup of tea," Josh Sharp, a senior from Overland Park, said. "On the other hand, Blink-182 was amazing." Sharp said seeing Barker play in person was one of the night's highlights.

KU parking deserves credit for fixing problem
The University of Kansas is never without its parking woes. Recently, those woes multiplied when KU Parking and Transit installed electronic gates and payment machines at the Union Parking Garage.
Since then, the chaos has calmed down.
What made the $550,000 remodel of the garage such a pain is the complicated terms of
entering and departing.
To enter, a driver must have a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card that comes with the purchase of a garage permit, or they have to take a ticket from payment machine that must be paid before leaving.
Departing the garage has been the major distress. The line to exit the garage seems to pile up with frustrated drivers. Either they do
not have their payments ready to go when they reach the gate, or they have problems with the machine not recognizing their RFID cards.
And in August, a driver jammed a credit card into the wrong slot of the machine, which broke some of the machinery in the payment station and totaled $5,000 in repairs.
Parking and Transit has been
working diligently to fix many of the new system's kinks, and their efforts have paid off.
Now, an employee sits at the Mississippi Street entrance from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and counsels incoming drivers on how the new system operates.
After adding more informational signs about the new system, hiring a full-time parking advisor, and listening to the
grievances of the garage's patrons, the wait to either enter or leave is almost non-existent.
While it will always remain a pain to pay for parking, at least now the process is a lot more efficient and driver friendly.

I am American: On being Muslim in a post-9/11 era
September 11, 2001. I was 11 years old and in the sixth grade at a private Islamic school in Kansas City. We were well into class when my teacher explained that we needed to put our books away and follow her quickly. All students were packed into a few rooms with blinds shut and lights turned off. Our particular room had a TV, and as we settled in, the second plane hit.
Sara Jawhari
sjawhari@kansan.com
As the hour passed, confusion only grew and the sheer shock on the teachers' faces became more apparent. It was then that the anchor mentioned the name Osama Bin Laden. Naively, I turned to a fellow classmate and asked, "Osama, why'd they just say your name?"
It goes without saying that the events that day forever changed the lives of millions in America and abroad. We saw Americans unite at candlelight vigils and memorial services and found signs and bumper stickers that announced "United We Stand" at every turn. But, were we truly
united? Sadly, absolutely not.
In the weeks following 9/11, it was clear to me that Arabs and Muslims weren't included in this unity. In fact, it was the exact opposite. Our nationality and patriotism was questioned everywhere we went and thus was the birth to the deplorable wave of Islamophobia. For many, it has been ten years of grieving. For Muslim Americans, it has been ten years in a never-ending match where we are only playing defense.
My family is the embodiment of the "American Dream." My parents immigrated to the states in 1991, seeking the same freedoms
and opportunities for my three siblings and I that have always attracted people to America. My father has been a working man since moving here, and my mother has been a teacher for as long as I can remember. I went to an all-American public high school and even graduated with an award for being "an exemplary young citizen who has demonstrated a marked respect for country"
So what makes us less American than our neighbors? Is it our skin color? Our religion? It can't be because we are immigrants because after all, isn't that who created this nation?
I can definitely tell you what's not American. Calling up my school the morning of 9/11, threatening to "bomb the building and shoot off every last Muslim kid." (This threat has been made every year since the attacks.) What about the Ground Zero mosque debates and the pastor who wanted to burn thousands of Qurans at his Florida church last Sept. 11? (He backed
out, but it didn't stop the Phelps' from doing it.) But the most un-American, racist and hate-filled act of the decade toward Muslims has to go to Rep. Peter King and the Congressional hearings into the "domestic radicalization of Muslims."
Being American and a Muslim are not in conflict with each other. But there are people that work day and night to make sure people believe that they are.
Enough is enough.
I I'm tired of the blatant misquoting of the Quran and Internet trolls telling me what my religion teaches about Jihad. I'm tired of pointing out that, like Christianity and Judaism, Islam unequivocally condemns terrorism. I'm tired of being told that I'm oppressed because I proudly don a headscarf, which I willingly took on shortly after 9/11 in retaliation of all the scrutiny. Most of all, I'm tired of being grouped with "the enemy" when I'm anything but.
I will not apologize for the
events that occurred on 9/11 as apologizing implies guilt, and Muslims, real Muslims, are not guilty of the horrific acts of terrorism on that day. And when a classmate recently stood up, looked at me and announced, "My best friend lost his brother in the twin towers," I looked over and responded "And I lost my brother in humanity." In fact, on that day, I lost more than 3000 of them. I mourned their deaths just as every other American did.
It has been ten years, and our nation is as divided as ever. We cannot allow those who promote hate, either here or abroad, to continue to strengthen this divide. Though I am tired of constantly being on the defensive, I realize something needs to be done. I fear where we will be another ten years from now. I only wish for the day when I could hold up a sign that states "United We Stand" and truly believe it.

Stations should drop multi-camera sitcoms
Recently, like a majority of the rest of you schnucks, I moved. I also was downgraded to cable, at which point I realized how terrible multi-camera sitecam are.
Chance Carmichael
ccarmichael@kansan.com
The good news is I'm out of that horrid apartment-house with its "Paranormal Activity 2" basement and its move-your-cars-on-game-days policy. The bad news is that this year my roommate took the extra hook-up to the satellite/DVR, so my gigantic old Sanyo and I were left to fend for ourselves. Luckily, a lot of apartment complexes come with a very basic set of cable channels and local channels (now, I can watch that guy who won "The Not So Late Show" thing over me and dramatically crush plastic cups).
During the last couple of weeks while I sit and stew in my room, I divide my Algebra avoidance between Netflix and basic cable runs. Let me tell you, I have now seen many episodes of "How I Met Your Mother." The most depressing thing about all of this is that I have become addicted, And I so don't want to be.
Those of you super fans who have followed my columns from the beginning should remember that my first column was about my sad, debilitating addiction to "Degrassi" (this addiction is ongoing and I'm sad to report that Fiona is now my favorite character. What is this world we live in now?) So I knew what was really going on inside of me. I really do enjoy "How I Met Your Mother." The characters are fun and have interesting relationships with one another; Jason Segel and
Alyson Hanagan are on it (and their characters are married); the show has a fun and fresh style of storytelling; and it has funny jokes. I wish I could just show you all of this in flashbacks like they tell every story on that show, but it slowly dawned on me that my problem with it was its stale form. "How I Met Your Mother" may be above average as far as comedies go, but the medium is the message and multi-camera sitcoms with laugh tracks sure are a bad message.
Multi-camera sitcoms with laugh tracks just plain suck. Like Woody Allen's surrogate Max of "Annie Hall," laugh tracks nauseate and confuse me. For those of you who are confused by the term "multi-camera sitcom," imagine putting a ton of cameras around your high school auditorium's stage, and then lazily cutting from camera to camera to edit together an episode. Seriously, if you're the type of person who actually enjoys laugh tracks, I don't know what to say to you, other than you have some serious control issues and you'll probably marry an abusive, controlling wingnut (not a Wichita Wingnut, just a crazy person). I mean, TV producers might as well just
My problem with the whole multi-camera thing is that it's archaic. You see, shows like "30 Rock" "Community" and "Parks & Recreation" are single camera sitcoms (which means they employ a single camera to get the different takes for each shot required like a drama or a movie) can easily play with different genres, employ cutaways, and do stuff outside.
make the word "laugh" pop up in neon Comic Sans text every time someone makes a pun.
I know that multi-camera sitcoms (if you're still confused by what I mean, see CBS) are a monster that can't be killed, because they're generally cheaper. But don't those awful, fake-looking sets make anybody else want to instantly turn off the television? Don't we live in the 21st century? I'm sure it can't be that much more frugal to lock characters into one set for eternity. They just aren't aesthetically pleasing. The lighting, the sets, the staging — it's all reminiscent of a bad high school play.
It's too late now, but I wish that "How I Met Your Mother" had taken a lesson from its storytelling methods and gone unconventional. But what else should we expect from stuck-in-the-20th-century CBS? I mean, they think "Two and a Half Men" was funny in the first place.

Offense displays passing proficiency
EFTHAN PADWAY
For a team that prides itself on its running game, the Kansas football team proved it was a multi-dimensional offense, accumulating 283 yards and three touchdowns passing.

Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb completed passes to eight different players while guiding the Jayhawks to their 45-42 victory against Northern Illinois.
Against Northern Illinois, offensive coordinator Chuck Long
"I just felt hot," Webb said. "It's just like whenever you get a scorer in basketball feeling hot, you have to get him the ball, and I felt every time we called a passing play it was going to be a completion. I knew my receivers were going to make a play for me."
"Our receivers stayed steadfast, even though last week we didn't really throw them the ball very much," center Jeremiah Hatch said. "They still blocked and came through when we needed big plays. You don't want to just rely on running the ball, you want to be able to play pitch and catch too."
Sophomore receiver D.J. Beshears led the Jayhawks in receiving, bringing in seven passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner with nine seconds left on the clock.
opened up the playbook for Webb, as the he threw the ball 20 more times than he did in their contest against McNeese State.
Beshears showed his mental fortitude, recovering from a slow start where he dropped a ball and was called for a holding penalty that negated a lajahawk touchdown.
"DJ, he's one of those playmakers that when it comes down to it, you throw him the ball, you expect him to make a big play every time," Webb said.
Senior tight end Tim Beire was second on the team in catches, with four for 49 yards, including a number of grabs that kept Jayhawk drives alive on third down.
This led the Jayhawks to convert 13 of 18 third downs and both of their fourth down opportunities.
"They came up huge for me on third down, there were a couple of times that I had to scramble, and they have a knack for finding open windows and being there for me when I'm scrambling." Webb said.
first career touchdown reception.
That kind of awareness paid off for the layhawks when, with half-time fast approaching, Webb hit junior receiver Kale Pick deep for a 36-yard touchdown reception, Pick's
"I saw the safety sprint up toward the underneath route, so once he did that, I just kind of faced up and Jordan threw the ball," Pick said.
Even with the added work in the passing game, the Jayhawk receivers never took a play off on any of the 60 plays they ran the ball on, focusing on blocking the Northern Illinois defensive backs to make life easier on the running backs.
"It helps us out a lot to know that the receivers are getting blocks downfield," sophomore running back James Sims said. "Last year, we weren't really like that, but this year it's different because it helps us out as runs, we can just make one cut and go instead of making a lot of cuts."

Quote of the game
Beshears
V. RAVINANI
Game balls
1. Jordan Webb: Webb showed great poise in the pocket and was fantastic in must-convert situations, including the game-winning touchdown pass to Beshees. On many third and long plays, Webb would scramble outside the pocket, keep his eyes downfield and find a receiver for the first down.
2. Kansas running backs: Beshega gets the credit for the game winning catch, but that doesn't happen if all five Kansas running backs don't run hard all day, wearing down the Northern Illinois defense.
3. The offensive line: The offensive line gave Webb time to work to his third read on the game deciding fourth and goal and kept quarterback Jordan Webb upright most of the day. It also opened huge holes in the running game, helping Kansas convert 13-18 third downs and two for two on fourth downs.
Delay of games
1. Kansas defense: The defense will want to watch this tape once, then burn it. Northern Illinois quarterback Chandler Harnish picked apart the secondary all day long, completing 27-33 pass attempts for 315 yards and two touchdowns.
2. Kansas penalties: There is no individual culprit, but the Jayhawks made life hard on themselves with holding penalties negating touchdown runs and putting themselves into third and long situations. For the day the Jayhawks had nine penalties for 75 yards.
3. Turner Gill. Gill got the win, but made a questionable call in the second quarter when he chose to go for a long field goal instead of trying to convert on fourth-and-two, especially since Kansas picked up the first on the previous play, a fourth-and-one, only to have it negated by a holding penalty. Mueller missed the field goal, Northern Illinois got the ball and took its first lead of the game.
Play of the game
Notes
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb's touchdown pass to freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, where Shepherd leapt in front of a pass intended for junior wide receiver Kale Pick. Shepherd took the ball to the endzone for a 56-yard touchdown.
The glass is half full
The lajayhawk offense came to play. If it continues to move the ball like it has these past two weeks, it would be able to hang around with the big boys once Big 12 play rounds and might be able to pull off an upset here or there.
The glass is half empty
The glass is non empty If the defense doesn't drastically improve against the pass, it could be a long season for the Jayhawks. Once conference play rolls around the Jayhawks will see a heavy dose of the spread, and quarterbacks such as Robert Griffin III and Brandon Weeden will have career days against the Jayhawks.
Biggest answer
The Jayhawks offense can perform under pressure and convert effectively on third down. It's still early in the season, but the Jayhawks have the 22nd best scoring offense in the nation. If they keep that up, they will find themselves hanging around with better teams in the fourth quarter.
Still questioning.
Can the Jayhawk defense defend the pass? It didn't look like it on Saturday. Harnish regularly completed long passes on third downs, and Northern Illinois only punted twice all day. If you take out the two Northern Illinois drives at the end of each half, Kansas stopped the Huskies only three times while allowing six touchdowns.
Looking ahead
Kansas travels to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech and try to earn Gill's first road victory. Georgia Tech will be hungry to avenge their 28-25 loss to Kansas in 2010 that duly its season and dropped it out of the top 25.
Good, bad, or just plain stupid
Mike Vernon's prediction of a three-point margin of victory was correct, but he undershot the final score with his 31-28 prediction and picked the wrong team. We'll chalk this one up as bad.
Final thoughts
It was good to see the stands fill up for the Jayhawks, and the most impressive part was the fact that the student section was still intact in the second half, something that has been unseen in recent years at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks offense could keep them in games, which might make a full student section a regular occurrence.

Jayhawks beat No.6
MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
The volleyball team lost its first game of the season on Friday in heartbreaking fashion. Kansas rebounded less than 24 hours later to score perhaps the biggest regular season win in the program's history.
Kansas (8-1) defeated the heavily-favored Minnesota (5-2) in five sets on Saturday, 27-25, 25-20, 17-25, 20-25, 15-12. It was the team's second consecutive game against a nationally ranked opponent and the second consecutive time it would stumble after jumping out to an early 2-0 set advantage.
Coming into the weekend ranked No. 6, the Golden Gophers are the highest ranked team Kansas volleyball has ever defeated. Coach Ray Bechard was hesitant to call it the biggest regular season victory of his coaching career, but he still saw great value in the win.
"From a ranking standpoint, it might be," Bechard said. "But there have been a lot of them along the way that have had value for different reasons. This one was important not only because it was against a good team, but because it came back after a disappointing loss."
That disappointing loss came on Friday against No. 15 Northern
YNS
Albers
Iowa (9-1), the host school for the invitational played in Cedar Falls. After jumping out to a 2-0 set lead, the Jayhawks collected down
the stretch, 25-19, 25-20, 20-25,
8-25, 8-15.
"It was an up-and-down weekend," Bechard said. "We obviously created some opportunities for ourselves Friday night and couldn't finish it. We did the same thing Saturday morning and did."
Bechard's squad wrapped up the tournament by sweeping away St. Louis (3-4), 26-24, 25-10, 27-25.
Toleffree said the loss against Northern Iowa was devastating, but seeing how the team responded to its first adversity of the season was important.
The Jayhawks recorded 18 total blocks against the Golden Gophers, including career-highs for junior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree and freshman outside hitter Chelsea Albers. Toilefree and Albers would finish with nine and eight blocks, respectively.
"I was really proud of the way we fought with Minnesota and the way we beat St. Louis," Tolefree said. "It was important to see how
KANJA
Tolefree
we responded after things didn't go the way we wanted them to on Friday."
Albers said the mood in the locker
room after the game against Minnesota was drastically different from the day prior after the loss to Northern Iowa.
"We had a devastating and upsetting loss last night, but we seemed to bounce back and battle against adversity," Albers said. "I think it shows a lot about our character."
Many of the current players on the team were present for the last biggest upset in program history when the Jayhawks defeated then No. 10 Iowa State in Lawrence last season.
"From the beginning of the season on, we've said that we're not going to talk about what we should have done." Bechard said. "It's always about what we're going to do. We didn't dwell too much on Friday's loss, but we had to learn from it and move on."
Men's club team struggling early
Edited by Josh Kantor
The men's club soccer team hasn't started the season the way the Jay-hawks had planned.
SOCCER
The team entered the season wanting to duplicate last year's perfect regular season. On Friday, Kansas opened its season at Kansas State and finished the game tied at 0-0.
"It was an evenly played game," Jeremy Chabot, a junior from Maize, said. "Shots on goal were close to even and so were possessions."
On Saturday, the Jayhawks played at Washington University in St. Louis. The Jayhawks lost 2-0 and struggled to get their offense going.
After the weekend, the team is now focused on coming together as a team and breaking through on offense.
"It's the beginning of the season and we need to still work hard the rest of the season and make sure we finish on offense," Marcello Silva, a junior from Luanda, Angola, said.
Chabot knows the team's goal of winning regionals is still obtainable
"We need to work on gelling as
a team and maintain our focus on getting into top shape for regionals," Chabot said.
The Jayhawks have a break until Saturday when they travel to Truman State University for a 1.p.m. game.
"It is very important to break through as an offense and score our first goal." Chabot said. "After we do that, we will be fine."

Bills embarrass Chiefs, 41-7
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It's been a long time since the Buffalo Bills were worried about anybody putting them on a pedestal.
A franchise that was once the goldstandard in the AFC hasn't sniffed success in years. The Bills were 4-12 last season, haven't had a winning record since 2004, and haven't been to the playoffs since some of their players were in grade school.
Ryan Fitzpatrick tossed four touchdown passes Sunday, two of them to journeyman tight end Scott Chandler, and the Bills romped to a 41-7 victory over the defending AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Get ready for the spotlight, boys,
even if it's just for a week.
It was the most lopsided season-
opening loss in Chiefs history, and their worst home loss since a 45-0 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers 35 years ago.
It started with the opening kickoff.
Dexter McCluster fumbled the return to give Buffalo prime field position, and Fitzpatrick hit Chandler moments later from 4 yards out for a 7-0 lead. The Bills tacked on another score later in the first quarter and never looked back.
"We felt like we knew we were going in for seven when we got that turnover," said Fitzpatrick, who finished with 208 yards passing. "That was a great start to the game."
Fred Jackson added 112 yards rushing for the Bills, who hadn't scored 40 points in an opener since beating the Los Angeles Rams 40-7 on Sept. 6, 1992.
"We left some guys open that I think we'll wish we had back, and they scored points on us when we didn't execute," Chiefs linebacker Andy Studebaker said. "Those things cost you."
Chandler came in with one catch in 14 career games. He had five for 63 yards against Kansas City's inept pass defense, which was missing Eric Berry most of the game after the star safety sustained a knee injury in the first quarter.
Matt Cassel threw for 119 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and Jamaal Charles led the Chiefs with 56 yards on the ground
— even though he was facing a fence that ranked last in stopping the run last season.
"We had a chance to make some plays and we didn't make them," Chiefs coach Todd Haley said.

Stowe, Wilson run all over Mizzou
CROSS COUNTRY
Men's and women's teams win in first competition of the year
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The first race of the year between Kansas and Missouri turned into a dominating performance for the Kansas cross country team.
Senior Rebeka Stowe finished first in the women's race, while redshirt freshman James Wilson finished second overall and first
for the men's team. Kansas won both team competitions by a wide margin.
When the gun fired to start Saturday's Missouri Cross Country
Stanley Redwine said. "He is a hard trainer, he is a great competitor and he showed it today. For a freshman to come in and do that today was totally awesome."
Wilson led the way with a time of 26:54.35.
"It's awesome anytime you can come out and beat some Tigers. It's a good time."
"It's only my second race wearing the blue so getting second place. I'm definitely very happy with it," Wilson said.
Two Missouri runners eventually infiltrated the Jayhawks, but Kansas held off the Tigers.
Challenge, the Jayhawks had a clear strategy: They wanted to run in a pack. The blue jerseys of the KU men's team were all at the front of the pack before the runners even reached the end of the fairway on A.L. Gustin Golf Course, which served as the course.
REBEKA STOWE Senior runner
"We were waiting on the Missouri guys to make a move, which they did right about where we thought they would," Wilson said. "When they made a move, our job was to respond and go with them. We were still six or seven strong, which was nice."
Wilson led the pack of Jayhawks for most of the race. It was not until the final mile when the pack began to separate.
"I must say that was a pleasant surprise," coach
But it was the string of four KU runners behind Wilson that a l o w e d Kansas to win the overall team race.
Stowe finished first for the second time in her
career.
"We haven't pack ran that well in a few years." Stowe said. "It's awesome anytime you can come out and beat some Tigers. It's a good time."
Stowe said she was pleased with the Jayhawks' performance but still not satisfied. The Jayhawks will be in Minneapolis, Minn., for the Roy Griak Invitational.
"We still have a lot of work to do," Stowe said. "We are in a good place and everybody's doing well."

Mariners show youth against Royals, 2-1
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have used 18 rookies this season and their inexperience is showing at the plate.
The Mariners struck out 12 times Sunday in a 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, bringing their total to 51 in the four-game series.
Alex Gordon had a pair of RBI doubles and four Royals pitchers combined to limit the Mariners to six hits a day after they had only two.
"It's one of those things where you talk about being aggressive versus passive, like earlier in the year we were really passive," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "These guys are still trying to find it. They are up there looking to hit.
"It's unreal," said Teaford, who allowed three hits, walked one and struck out a career-high five. "To have my 100th (professional) start my first big league start and my first win of my career, and my dad here. ... It's awesome to have him in town. You can't write a better story than that."
"As we continue to get more experience, those strikeouts will come down and you'll get more damage with those swings."
The Mariners couldn't crack Royals starter Everett Teaford (1-0), who was making his first big league start. He had 23 appearances out of the bullpen and only learned Saturday that he'd be the spot starter Sunday.
Blake Wood took over in the sixth and tossed two hitless innings, retiring six straight, four on strikeouts. Greg Holland gave up a two-out RBI double to Ichiro Suzuki in the eighth and Joakim Soria pitched the ninth to pick up his 28th save in 35 opportunities.
"I wanted to attack the strike zone from the beginning," Teaford said. "I wanted as much contact as possible, I wanted them to put the ball in play."
They had trouble just making contact.

Ted Owens AT KANSAS YEARS:1964-1983 RECORD:348-182
Owens began coaching at Kansas in 1960 as an assistant under Dick Harp. When Harp resigned as coach after the 1963-1964 season, Owens took his place. He finished his career at Kansas in 1983 as the third winningest coach, behind Phog Allen and Roy Williams.

COACHING BEFORE KANSAS
Owens started coaching in Lawton, Okla., at Cameron State Junior College, now known as Cameron University, going 93-24 in four seasons. At Cameron, he won more than 20 games every season and made it to three national junior college tournament semifinal games.
LIFE AFTER KANSAS
After 19 seasons, Owens was replaced at Kansas by Larry Brown. He returned to the state of Oklahoma, this time coaching Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. But the Golden Eagles struggled under Owens, accumulating a 21-35 record during the two seasons he was at the helm.
He then coached at Maccabi Tel-Aviv in Israel in the 1989-1990 season. Folklore has it that Maccabi's management introduced him as Ted Evans, and after failed attempts of trying to correct the recurring problem, Owens stuck with the misnomer. This mistake was ominous of the experiment abroad, as Owens left after one ugly season and retired from coaching.
DEFINING MOMENTS
The 1970-1971 Final Four team was perhaps Owens' most talented. At the height of the hippie movement, it served as another kind of force in Lawrence.
Dave Robisch, Pierre Russell, Roger Brown, Bud Stallworth, Aubrey Nash and the rest of the Jayhawks held Long Beach State to eight points in the first half of the team's first game at Allen Fieldhouse.
An unrelenting defense led Kansas to an undefeated conference record, a 27-1 overall record, a No. 4 ranking, and a date with another 27-1, John Wooden's UCLA Bruins, in the Final Four.
Russell's jump-shot kept Kansas in the game, but Henry Bibby (NBA point guard Mike Bibby's father) could not be stopped. The Bruins won 68-60 and went on to defeat Villanova in the title game.
the National Championship
KANNA Champs
Larry Brown AT KANSAS YEARS:1983-1988 RECORD:135-44
Brown began coaching at Kansas in 1983, replacing the beloved Owens. He finished his career at Kansas with the second and arguably most memorable NCAA Tournament championship in school history. He didn't stay in Lawrence for a long time, but Brown is up there with Allen, James Nismith, Roy Williams, Bill Self and Owens in the pantheon of Kansas basketball coaches.

COACHING BEFORE KANSAS
Brown was first hired as coach at Davidson College, but he never coached a game there.
He switched to the ABA, where he spent six seasons from 1967-1972, coaching with the Carolina Cougars, then moving to the Denver Nuggets (who joined the NBA in 1976). He coached at UCLA for two seasons, losing 59-54 to Louisville in the title game the first year, and losing in the second round the next year.
After two seasons with the New Jersey Nets in 1981-1983, he rotated between the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks and, finally, the Charlotte Bobcats from 1988 to 2011. Brown never did much in the playoffs until he and Allen Iverson reached the NBA finals in the 2000-01 season, only to fall to Shaquille O'Neal and the Los Angeles Lakers. Just a few years later, in the 2003-04 season, Brown got revenge against the Lakers in five games, this time winning his first NBA championship with Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups and the Detroit Pistons. The next year, Brown and the Pistons lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the finals.
ON TO THE NBA
DEFINING MOMENT
In the CBS post-game interview, with thick rimmed glasses covering half of his face, Brown didn't have much to say to analyst Bill Packer.
Danny and the Miracles. The 1988 NCAA champion Jayhawks under Brown, led by Manning, were heavy underdogs against the division rival Oklahoma Sooners. But Manning dominated, earning the game's Most Outstanding Player award by scoring 31 points and grabbing 18 rebounds and five steals. With Manning's two game-clinching free throws, the Jayhawks trumped the Sooners 83-79 in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., Manning was mailed by everyone in the building as Jayhawk fight songs roared.
"I don't know how to say national champs," Brown said. "But I'm gonna learn how."

THE MORNING BREW
Reformations for Memorial Stadium
Saturday's football game was psychological warfare from
the start. Dropped passes.
A 21-7 deficit in the second quarter.
Wide open Kale Pick to tie it at 21
in the first half's closing seconds.
Touchdowns called back for holding
penalties. Webb to Beshears on
4th and goal to win the game.
From an entertainment perspective, you simply can't complain after that one. But while sitting in the stands, the Brew found some other things that need reformation at Memorial Stadium.

Just about the last thing you want to be thinking at opening kickoff with keys jingling in your hand: "Is an animal being tortured somewhere?"
SPEAKERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STUDENT SECTION
Perhaps my mind is warped in some way, but the speakers at the bottom of the student section belowed and screeched far too often
for the Brew's ears. Half-second roars and snippets of sound leaked regularly like noise-rock gone wrong.
Everyone loves the band. The brass instruments. The awkward reinterpretations of pop songs for the kids. The funny hats. But please, band, let's revert to how it used to be: no amplification.
Some goon in a red shirt that looked like Pinky from "Pinky and the Brain" patrolled the student-athlete section with all the might he
OPEN UP THE STUDENT- ATHLETE SECTION
could muster (not much). Anytime some drankard stumbled his way to the section and thought "Wow, rows of open seats toward the front, what luck," Pinky told 'em to scram. Anytime same dame tried to sneak by, Pinky sincerely apologized, then told 'em to scram. Pinky's reasoning: "Without a yellow wristband that proves you're a student-athlete, hiccup, you can't, hiccup, sit here."
Pinky, the Brew understands that you're nothing but a pawn in this crazy game we call seating management, so you're not to blame. Rather, let's challenge the higher-ups that think this makes any sense. For two Saturdays straight, there's been a whole section of empty seats that no drankard or dame could occupy. The Brew proposes that all students who wish to sit in this section may do so, just not in front of the few student-athletes who show up. This way, prime seats won't be wasted, student-athletes still get their section. Pinky can
find some other reason to be sincere with dames, and you won't see drunkards show up with phony wristbands.
CHEAPER FOOD AND DRINKS
Vendor: "What? You want one?"
A vendor was having a hard time selling $5 cups of lemonade to the half-empty student-athlete section (shocking, I know). Let's rehash the scene when the Brew thought he was not a vendor, but a comedian.
Brew: "Ha! $5 for a lemonade. Good one, man!"
Vendor: What you want one!
Brew: "Wait, you're serious?
(Looking up) Holding penalty again? (Looking down) Ha! Good one!"
!
MORE FREE FOOD
Vendor: (Walking away, shaking head)
Minutes after the vendor/
comedian walked away from his
charade, a curly blond haired cheer-
leader handed me a warm, tin foil
wrapped burrito, presumably from Chipotle. The Brew told her "I love you!" which must have helped the odds of getting the burrito. After realizing that the vendor was serious about his $5 cups of lemonade, free dinner tasted much better.
Let's give away more free burritos, hot dogs and sacks on sticks. Rather than Big Jay chucking water balloons at unsuspecting fans, he could join the cheerleaders in a rousing game of "Hit the drunkard with a corn-dog." Dangerous and delicious!
GET RID OF THE TRACK
What is this, Pop Warner? The track is aesthetically unpleasant and unprofessional. People have been begging for years, and the Brew thinks this one has a chance.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY
Other schools around the nation had logos on helmets or on the field. I know Kansas can't do much with the turf, but a uniform change would have been fitting.
That same song was played at Memorial Stadium on Saturday before Kansas played Northern Illinois. A reading of the preamble of the constitution was followed by a moment of silence and three-gun salute.
The NFL relaxed its uniform policy to allow Chicago Bears line-backer Lance Briggs and Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, among other players, to wear gloves and shoes that had red, white and blue. The palm side of the gloves showed a quote that said "Never Foreet 9-11-2001."
Sept.11 tribute disappoints
I love this country, but I'm not the most patriotic. I'm thankful for those that serve in the military to keep this nation safe.
It's a day that won't be forgotten,
but our lives have moved on.
College and pro football as well as baseball paid tribute to those who died in the attacks. American flags as big as football fields were spread across the field. New York native Robert De Niro narrated a piece that was shown in NFL stadiums. After, a soldier in the field in Somerset County played "Taps."

Edited by C.J. Matson
The death toll was nearly 3,000 people.
Kansas also paid tribute to the 9/11 victims. But on the 10-year anniversary of the attacks, the University should have done more to remember the fallen. In years past there have been huge American flags.

The sports world was on hold that day. Major League baseball cancelled its games. The NFL cancelled and rescheduled its games. Sports are important to this country, but it puts things into perspective. For the people who lost loved ones, their lives haven't stopped. They have had to continue and
This weekend, the sporting world paid tribute to those who died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

I remember sitting in my sixth grade science class in Chicago when I was told that American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
I was 11 years old. I had no idea what was going on, except I kept hearing the words 'terrorist attack'. I had thoughts of Chicago's Sears Tower being next. I was so young and didn't understand. I just thought the Sears Tower would be a target for terrorists because it was the tallest building in the United States.
At 10:03, the fourth and final plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in an open field in Somerset County, Penn., southeast of Pittsburgh.
We turned on the TV to watch the news and that's when I saw United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower.

IT TAKES TIME
Last minute touchdown highlights victory over Northern Illinois
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
It is the situation that every quarterback dreams about' the situation every kid imagines in his backyard.
On Saturday sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb got his chance — and he nailed it.
Webbs opportunity: fourth and goal on the six-yard line, with 14 seconds left.
Webb caught the snap and dropped back into the pocket. The protection held up for him as he went through his progressions and after finding his first two options covered, he saw a third open up.
Junior receiver D.J. Beshears broke open across the middle of the field and Webb found him. Webb threw a low ball, away from any possible deflections from the defense, and Beshears made the catch just across the goal line for a touchdown, giving Kansas the 45-42 victory over Northern Illinois.
"We had the mesh route on the inside and D.J. came open and made a great play for me." Webb said.
The play truly showcased Webb's hard work and improvement over the offseason. The quarterback who, at times, looked uncomfortable during pressure situations as a freshman last season was cool, composed, and confident heading onto the field for the game winning drive.
Instead of forcing a throw that wasn't there or taking off for a run, Webb held his ground and made the play.
Junior receiver Kale Pick, a former quarterback, complimented Webb for checking down to his third option and making the correct read on the play.
"I worked hard all offseason to get better with my reads and better poise in the pocket," Webb said. "Everything showed tonight."
Webb had been coming through when the jayhawks needed it all evening, keeping the chains moving for Kansas, converting 13 times out of 18 third downs.
"Jordan made a great play. Before we got to the line he asked 'Just give me time, I'm gonna make the read, and score the touchdown'," senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. "So we did what we had to do."
As Webb assessed his options, he needed time to make his decision, something the Jayhawks offensive line gave him this time. But on the previous play, a third and goal situation, the defense broke through the line and got into the backfield.
Webb salvaged the play by getting back to the line of scrimmage, but it was something the Jayhawks knew could not happen again in the upcoming do-or-die situation.
The offense had been making plays all night, covering for a defense that gave up 462 yards to the Huskies.
On the final play of the game, senior linebacker Steven
Johnson knew the offense needed to make up for the defense's sub-par performance.
"My gosh I was a little nervous. Half of me couldn't even watch. I was just hoping our offense could have our back—they had it the whole game," Johnson said. "I gave D.J. a big handshake because he played a heck of a game."
As for Webb, he moved Kansas to a 2-0 record and came through on the opportunity that every quarterback hopes to have.
"It's definitely a feeling that I will never forget." Webb said.

Vidal scores winning goal over Purdue

Forward Ingrid Vidal sustained her stellar freshman season on Sunday as she scored the game-clinching goal in Kansas' 1-0 victory over Purdue in the Boilermaker Challenge consolation match.
After the game, Vidal said she'd been struggling to get to the goal early, but she finally found an opportunity late.
In the 98th minute, sophomore defender Shannon Renner lined up a free kick just inside the Jayhawks' half of the field.
Sophomore forward Caroline Kastor outmuscled an oncoming defender and found Vidal in the open space. She then chipped the ball over the Purdue goalkeeper for the winning score.
Another impressive player of the day was Kansas' junior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau and her 11 saves. She also recorded the long-anticipated first shutout of the season.
"Purdue had a couple of dangerous players and we did a good job of containing them," coach Mark Francis said. "Kat made some big saves and I think overall defensively it was big step forward."
"It was huge, especially coming off a rough game Friday," she said.
Liebetrau and Vidal were named to the All-Tournament team, along with freshman forward Jamie Fletcher.
"I think in the first half they had the better of the play," Francis said. "We definitely deserved to win, especially based on the second half and the overtime."
Kansas persisted through another slow start, but took control in the last 45 minutes.
Francis also gave credit to sophomore defender Brittany King and the rest of the Jayhawks defense for the Sunday win.
The team made some adjustments after a disappointing result on Friday against Dayton.
"On Saturday, we sat down
"I felt like everyone brought everything out in the open so we could talk about it. Doing that made it a lot easier and we realized what everyone was thinking."
after practice and talked about what we need to improve on in the next game," King said.
With their sixth victory of the season, the Jayhawks matched their entire win total of 2010. But the team is now focused on facing one of their toughest opponents, Florida, next Sunday.
The win gave the Jayhawks confidence in their defensive progression.
"After coming off a loss, I felt we needed to win." King said. "We played a lot more physical and our communication was better. I felt everyone on the team was on the same page."
"I feel like we all need to stay connected and communicate," King said. "The biggest thing on our team is communication."

Wes Landis, a sophomore from Damar, uses an iPad 2 to take notes in class. "The iPad is beneficial to me because it is so much lighter and more portable than a laptop," he said.
Going to class really can pay off, as first-year students in the department of electrical engineering and computer science found out.
Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps and Google Earth and a Kansas electrical engineering alumnus, gave new tablet computers to students in the department on Monday. McClendon encouraged the students to use their tablets for their own exploration outside of the classroom in addition to their school work. McClendon said he was trying to promote creativity and experience with the latest technology.
And that's already happening.
Technology is everywhere on campus, from the girl texting nonstop on her way to class to the guy blaring music through his Beats headphones, and it's rapidly appearing in classrooms. For the past 20 years, students and professors have held mixed opinions when it comes to technology in the classroom.
A July report by the Pew Research Center on college students and technology showed that nationwide, undergraduates at four-year institutions are extremely wired. Ninety-three percent are broadband users and 92 percent use wireless internet through either a laptop or cellphone.
Aiming to make their lessons more entertaining and interactive for the University's technology-based generation, many professors are attempting to get students involved by incorporating the newest advancements available.
"Professors are using many types of technology in the classroom, including iClickers, videoconferencing, lecture capture, tablets and iPads, iPhones, Bluray DVD players and document cameras," said Bob Lim, chief information officer of information technology for the University.
Some students are now allowed access to their personal technological devices for classwork. Not only are
laptops permitted for taking notes, but cellphones are also utilized for learning.
"My persuasive speaking class had to go find materials on campus that are used to persuade people," said Erin Griffiths, a junior from Winfield. "We could take pictures of it on our cellphones and then email it to him, and my professor pulled it up immediately in class."
McClendon donated $50,000 for the purchase of the Android-based tablets. Eighty-nine students are currently taking the introductory class, Programming I, and those who enroll in this course for the spring semester will receive Motorola Xoom Tablets.
Defining when and how much students may use technology in the classroom was an issue during Student Senate elections last spring. Part of KUnited's coalition called on the University to develop an acceptable
technology.
"It would really offer an alternative to textbooks, and textbooks,
we know, are a really big money drainer for students."
"No matter how hard people try, cellphones will, and always are, being used secretly."
said Libby Johnson, the student body president, before she was elected in April.
The University is also experimenting with a new 3-D technology. In a physical geography class taught by Daniel Hirmas, students wear 3-D glasses to view images and videos on a special projector. Covering a wide range of topics, such as the atmosphere, landforms, soils and vegetation, through this new 3-D technology, students are able to feel like they're actually experiencing the material they're learning about. They also use iClickers to answer questions throughout the lecture. Kevin Farrington, a freshman from
Topeka, is enrolled in the course and thinks this is a technology that will flourish within the University.
"It's more interactive than a regular lecture," Farrington said. "With the 3-D and trivia questions popping up, it makes it less boring and keeps you awake because you're having to answer questions for a grade. They're still working out the kinks, but I definitely think it'll go further."
To some, these breakthroughs are essential and should be utilized as much as possible, but others would prefer technology to stay outside of the classroom. Sticking to the chalkboards and banning cellphone or laptop use during class can encourage students to fully concentrate on the task at hand, rather than involving themselves in things that don't pertain to the topic.
EMILY GRIFFITHS
A junior from Winfield
"Being tech savvy is important in our ever changing world," said Sean Jones, a freshman from Lenexa. "But
I've been distracted by people using their laptops in class. Just the other day, a guy sitting in front of me was playing Pokémon and Bejeweled Blitz. I was more tempted
to look at that instead of paying attention to the lecture."
Griffiths said many professors don't allow her to use her iPad in class, even to take notes. But she understands the desire to prevent students from disrupting the class. "People will be on Facebook, shopping, or doing things they shouldn't be doing," she said. "No matter how hard people try, cellphones will, and always are, being used secretly. Technology can be used for good, but can also be a big distraction."

Monarchs make rest stop in Lawrence

jgarfield@kansan.com
In a garden, children gather around a bearded man covered in butterflies. This may sound like something out of a fairytale, but it was actually a scene from campus this weekend.
The 2011 Monarch Watch fall open house, held near Foley Hall on West Campus, gave visitors a the chance to participate in activities designed to educate and captivate. Attendees had the opportunities to tour the research facilities, view the mating cages, learn how to make butterfly gardens, obtain chrysalides to hatch at home and even videoconference with experts abroad.
"Every time I come here, I learn more," said Viola Hoelting, an elementary school teacher from Olpe. "This is an unbelievable insect."
The activities served to spread the passion for science fostered by the event's creator, Orley Taylor, an ecology professor and the man with the butterfly beard.
Taylor started the Monarch Watch, a part of the Kansas Biological Survey at the University, in 1992 and has documented the unique insect, which is able to retrace its migration routes even when bred in captivity. Furthermore, Taylor has used the watch to monitor the populations and how they have reacted to global climate change since that time.
BIOLOGICAL SCHOOL OF HERALDIA
"I remember learning about the migration of the monarch when I was younger," said Leslie Reece, an employee at the Monarch Watch. "They're not as prominent as they were ... They're just trying to make sure that the species stays healthy and continues to survive."
Since the start of the Monarch Watch, Taylor has continued to hold the open houses to spread his passion for nature and to share the wonder and curiosity that he has felt since childhood with new generations.
"That's the idea," Taylor said.
"It's a kids thing."

A Los Angeles school police officer shot his own bulletproof vest then planted a shell casing and claimed a gunman had shot him so he could get out of work on medical leave while collecting full pay, prosecutors said Monday.
Deputy District Attorney Paul Nunez summed up the case against 31-year-old Jeff Sterons during closing arguments in the case.
Stenroos is charged with preparing a false police report, planting false evidence and other counts stemming from the Jan. 19 incident.
The defense argued that Steenroos accidentally shot himself while cleaning a gun and never intended to stage a fraud.
The purported shooting prompted a massive police search for a gunman and led to 9,000 students being held in their schools for hours.
Stenroos remains on paid administrative leave.
SANTIAGO, CHILE
The numbers are in from violence on the 38th anniversary of Chile's military coup: Police arrested 280 people and 45 people were injured, including a teenager who is in critical condition with a bullet in his chest.
The disturbances during the commemoration of Chile's Sept. 11 followed an otherwise peaceful march to Santiago's memorial for the more than 40,000 people who were killed, disappeared, or tortured and jailed during the military dictatorship.
Monday's disturbances left their mark around the capital Tuesday morning, with streetlights damaged and the smoldering remains of street blockades at various points around the city.
STONE TOWN, TANZANIA
Official and survivor counts indicated that nearly 1,200 people may have been aboard a crowded tank that sank off Tanzania's coast.
Survivor Issa Hemeid said Monday some 150 people were likely trapped inside the boat's first- and second-class section when it sank early Saturday, echoing two other survivors. The death toll was 240 on Monday. On Sunday, an official estimated more than 800 people survived.
Together, that could mean nearly 1,200 people were aboard, well above survivors' estimates of the boat's capacity of 600.
Officials gathered Monday on the island of Zanzibar to pray for the survivors and the dead.

The only member of a top Russian hockey team to survive a plane crash that killed 44 people died Monday of his injuries in a Moscow hospital, a final bitter blow to all those who mourned the team's loss.
The Vishnevsky hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 percent of his body, despite the best efforts of doctors in its burn unit, considered one of the best in Russia.
The crash Wednesday of a chartered Yak-42 jet outside the western city of Yaroslavl took the lives of 28 players, two coaches and seven other staff of the local Lokomotiv Yaroslavi ice hockey club. The only other person to survive, flight crew member Alexander Sizov, remained in intensive care at Moscow's Skli-fosovsky hospital.

CULTURE
No place like home for art enthusiasts
A survey from the National Endowment for the Arts found that Kansas, per capita, has a greater part of its population involved in personal artistic expression than any other state, according to a release by University Relations. The University is collecting stories about art and creativity as part of How Are You Creative, an oral history project by the School of the Arts. The project is similar to StoryCorps, a national project that records stories of Americans from different backgrounds. The project collected stories firsthand on Sunday at the Kansas State Fair through the University's booth. One story that organizers documented at the fair was "The Block Stacker," the story of Great Bend resident Thomas Humburg's scale model of the World Trade Center buildings. Hamburg, a farmer and welder, created the 13-foot-tall model out of 16,000 small wooden blocks to commemorate Sept. 11, 2001. By collecting such stories, the project organizers hope to promote participation in the arts in Kansas. Other stories will be collected in communities across the state and through the website www.creative.ku.edu. All Kansans are invited to participate.

RESEARCH
Bird fossils reveal digestive evolution
A new discovery by University researchers advances knowledge of ancient bird anatomy, providing a new picture of how the birds' digestive systems evolved, according to a release by University Relations.
The fossils show evidence of a crop — the muscular pocket in the esophagus where modern birds store and soften seeds — in two species that lived 130 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous. The discovery will be published in an upcoming edition of the Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences.
The fossils show that seed eating was an important driving force in the early diversification and radiation of modern-type birds, said Larry Martin, professor and senior curator at the KU Biodiversity Institute.
The two species, Sapeornis and Hongshanornis, were in the collection of a museum in Shandong Province, China. Fossils of both species contained preserved seeds where the crop is located in modern birds. Martin said the crop is an important clue to how birds evolved from having teeth — as they did in the Early Cretaceous — not to have牙齿, as in birds today.
Martin co-authored the paper with Xiaoting Zheng of Linyi University and the Tianyu Museum of Nature in China, Zhonghe Zhou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and Biodiversity Institute researchers David Burnham, a program and Desui Miao, Martin said the birds were around 130 million years old and about 10 million years older than Archaeopteryx, which was previously thought to be the first bird.
Martin said the University was among the first to investigate Early Cretaceous fossils in China, and has partnered with Chinese scientists since the beginning of that research. He said the fossils in that area had produced thousands of skeletons, often with feathers, stomach contents and internal organs.
"Sapeornis was a pretty fair-sized bird, about the size of an ordinary chicken," Martin said, according to the release. "It belongs to a group of basal birds that are related to, but actually separate from, the line that leads to modern birds. The other bird that we have, Hongshanomis, is a very early example of the group to which all modern birds belong. It's essentially a modern bird, but an awfully old one — one of the oldest modern birds."

Seven students who escaped their burning house Sunday morning are finding temporary housing and receiving help from the University.
Taylor Shaw, a sophomore from Wichita, is collecting donations of household items for the students at the offices of the Jayhawker Towers and Student Union Activities in the Kansas Union. Shaw said six of the students were returning to Lawrence Monday after spending the night at the home of one of their parents in Overland Park.
"They all wanted to stick together." Shaw said.
There were 13 people in the house in the 1300 block of Tennessee Street when a sofa on the porch caught fire at 6 a.m. Sunday.
GRAPHIC BY BEN PIROTTE
Chief Mark Bradford of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical said property damage to the house and its contents was estimated at $234,000. He said the department's investigators have not identified the cause of the fire but think it was an accident.
All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but fire and water damage destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is badly damaged.
"Most of us lost everything we had," said James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood and a resident of the house. He said one of his roommates lost a large album collection. Hennahane was able to save his laptop only because it was near the first-floor window he jumped out of to escape.
The students received short-term financial aid from the Douglas County Chapter of the American
Red Cross in the form of debit cards for buying toiletries and household items.
Jane Blocher, the executive director of Douglas County Red Cross, said the assistance was intended only to help the students through the first few days after the fire. She said she has responded to many fires where students lost everything and doesn't understand why more students do not take out renter's insurance policies.
"For the price of a few lattes, you could have thousands of dollars of insurance," Bocher said. "It's very

Disney ready to release "Lion King 3D"
Nobody really knew Matthew Broderick could sing, back in the early '90s. Still, it's a little bit of a surprise to recall that Disney used somebody else to do his crooning in 1994's "The Lion King." A year later, Broderick would storm Broadway in the musical revival "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Twining."
It still looks lovely, with beautifully drawn lions and hyenas plus a warthog.
"Lion King" was the movie that Disney insiders regard as a high-water mark for traditional Disney animation, the exclamation point on the success story that began with "The Little Mermaid" and continued with "Beauty and the Beast." That cell-animated classic earns a nice 3-D dressing up in "The Ling King 3D," Disney's two-week reissue of the film, opening Friday. That's to be followed by an early October release on Blu-ray.

a meerkat, a mandrill, a hornbill and assorted other denizens of the African savannah. The wildebeest stampede is almost as novel and breathtaking as it was when the film was new.
Maybe "Hakuna Matata" has become a musical cliché, but the Jackson Five "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" still tickles. And Elton John's anthems "Can You Feel the Love Tonight!" and "The Circle of Life" are likewise so much a part of the culture as to seem worn, but still soar.
Disney used to reissue its classics to theaters for short runs so that a new generation could experience them the way they were meant to be seen. That makes this "Lion King" revival part of a grand tradition, 3-D or not. Some who were just children 17 years ago have the chance to make this the first Disney film their kids see in a theater.
The 3-D doesn't add much, only depth to this film, which won a couple of Oscaars upon its release. A wildebeest or hyena almost falls into your lap here and there.

160,000 military homes to get rooftop arrays
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
The last time I checked in with SolarCity was back in June when underwater hockey enthusiast Lyndon Rive's San Mateo, Calif. based photovoltaic powerhouse had just received a whopping $280 million investment from that tiny teeny, obscure search engine company known as Google.
That investment, the largest residential solar fund created in the U.S., was to aid SolarCity in continuing to offer attractive, innovative financing alternatives to homeowners who are interested in solar but are put off by the daunting up-front installation costs.
Now here's this: Wednesday,
SolarCity (solarcity.com) — which also expanded to the East Coast just this year — announced the launch of SolarStrong, an audacious, $1 billion project that aims to double the number of residential photovoltaic systems across the U.S. through the installation of rooftop solar arrays on 160,000 homes and other buildings, such as community centers and administrative buildings, on the country's military bases.
In total, 124 different military housing developments in 33 states would partake in the program, which is expected to create as many as 6,000 jobs over the next five years, many of them earmarked for U.S. veterans and
military families. Right now, SolarStrong is already underway at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii where, when all is said and don., 2,000 military homes will boast rooftop solar arrays.
Given the magnitude of the project, it's no surprise the federal government has stepped in to help — the Department of Energy has extended a conditional commitment for a partial guarantee of a $344 million loan that will support SolarStrong. The government's financial involvement in the project has raised a few eyebrows considering that another solar company, Solydra, declared bankruptcy just last week after receiving a $535 million loan guarantee through the Department of Energy's Loan Guarantee Program.
SolarCity insists the government is not at risk this time around particularly because the loans will kick in after the military installations are up and running; there's also the fact that SolarCity, unlike Solyndra, is an established, 5-year-old company.
The U.S. Department of Defense is America's largest consumer of electricity (something that I always forget) and the project, which will add 371 megawatts of solar generation capacity, will certainly more than help the D.O.D. reach its goal of harnessing 25 percent of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2025.
Photo fetches $23K for charity
The tintype photograph was in a bin, about to be shipped out, when a worker grabbed it and sent it to the charity's local online department. The item was then put up for auction.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Goodwild worker who spotted a photograph of Confederate General Robert E. Lee has helped the charity make $23,000 in an online auction.
It was also a record auction for the charity. The previous record was an early 1900s watercolor that sold for $7,500.
Goodwill spokeswoman Suzanne Kay-Pittman said Thursday that the tintype was headed to an outlet store before the worker spotted it. She says there it would have fetched a dollar and change based on its weight

Kay-Pittman says the successful bidder lives in Virginia.

While the Big 12 Conference teeters on the brink of extinction, the University of Kansas must stick to its best interest.
University should protect own interests first
Although the University and Kansas State share deep connections from operating under the Board of Regents and sharing rivalry in communities and households, a split might be necessary if major changes further threaten the stability of the conference.
EDITORIAL
Ed McKechnie, Kansas Board of Regents chairman, told the Associated Press last week that the Regents would prefer the
institutions to stay together in a conference. He also hoped the Big I2 would consider an academic alignment rather than remain a football-based conference. However, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little already told The UDK that the University is not required to stick with K-State.
Gray-Little has handled the alignment situation well. By supporting the continuation of the Big 12, she expressed the University's commitment to college athletics, rivalry traditions and member institutions. But she has still left options open in case
the Big 12 disintegrates.
As the chief officer of the University, it's Gray-Little's jurisdiction to decide whether to stay in or leave the conference. Legislators and members of the Board of Regents, who have the state's best interests in mind, should not interfere or force the University to stay with K-State in a conference.
The University is accredited by the Association of American Universities - a prestigious academic recognition it shares with Missouri, but not K-State. This actually makes Missouri a better
In any major NCAA conference, football revenue dominates athletic department income, even at a basketball school like Kansas. If rumors hold and football powerhouses Oklahoma and Texas leave the Big 12, Kansas Athletics Inc. could take a sizable hit on the $11.9 million it currently receives from the conference and the NCAA. But with Big 12 television contracts totaling
$150 million per year, the conference will still be lucrative for the University even if those institutions leave.
academic-athletic rival to take along if Kansas needs to move to another conference. A split with K-State should at least be on the table if the Big 12 falls apart.
The best scenario for the University would be to maintain both K-State and Missouri rivalries in the same conference. But a split with either institution should always be considered. The University has a unique identity as a Big 12 member. If we move to another conference, we are free to do it with friends (or rivals) or alone

As another school year opens, organizations bombard students with safety information. However, in my experience at the University over the past three years, I've noticed that information about biking safety has gone MIA.
Last year, I remember reading about cyclists and their safety concerns. I support environmentally friendly alternatives to busing and driving on campus and understand how vulnerable cyclists are. Biking can really be dangerous.
However, I have my issues with them.
On a number of occasions last year, I saw cyclists speeding past the stop signs in front of Sigma Kappa and again at other intersections around campus. Then, my inspiration for this letter came when I again witnessed two cyclists riding past stop signs on Daisy Hill just last week.
It was a new record: two in less than five minutes.
Seriously, though, the issue astounds me. I'm amazed that anyone, much less an adult, would complain about his safety without taking the initiative
to maintain it in the first place.
Likewise, I'd never complain to my apartment complex that I don't feel safe at night if I refused to lock my door. The principle doesn't work anywhere, so it shouldn't work for cyclists either.
While I imagine these cyclists in question are a minority of the entire biking community, it's still a prevalent enough issue to be brought up several times over.
So now I'm challenging biking safety issues on campus. Everyone needs to be safe on streets everywhere, and it's time for the cyclists in question to follow suit.
Until then, I'm unsympathetic to those specific bikers' issues. And I don't feel guilty. No one should.
Because really, common sense obliges me to not hit you with my car. However, your safety is your responsibility. So cut the cord, obey the law and happy school year.

This is in response to the editorial "Our 9/11 identity: tolerance and unity". I could not believe my eyes when I opened the paper and read this. I was just stunned. Really? The only thing that we should take away from the 9/11 attacks is that "hooray we're more tolerant now!"? There is so much more that should have been mentioned in a piece about 9/11.
First of all, the attacks were not a "misunderstanding." The radical Muslim terrorists that launched cowardly sneak attacks against innocent civilians on American soil knew exactly what they were doing. There was no misunderstanding. It is also tragic that the heroism and courage of the first responders at Ground Zero is not mentioned as something that defines this event. Or something that has defined and shaped our generation; the sacrifices made on that day should always be honored and remembered, especially as something our generation should try to live up to. Patriotism, service

to the country, courage, and self sacrifice should not take a backseat to tolerance. Ever. Is it important to remember that we are not at war with every Muslim? Of course it is. The 9/11 attacks should not cause us to distrust everybody from the middle east, nor cause us to despise everybody who practices Islam.
MOVIES
That being said, increased tolerance is not the lesson we have to take away from 9/11. What we learned is that there are organized terrorists out there that will use any means necessary to attack America in any way possible; and for no reason other than blind and jealous hatred. Our great country is still at the top of the world, but it will be never be the same because of what happened ten years ago. We must continue to remain dedicated and vigilant to ensure that attacks like 9/11 never happen to us again.
Lucas has lost touch with original trilogy
At this point, it's kind of hard to care what George Lucas is doing to Star Wars. He's made so many alterations to the original trilogy of films that new changes shouldn't shock us. And yet, they do.
Lucas recently released some footage from the new Blu-ray editions of "A New Hope," "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," showing off the new "improvements" that his team has made. Some are mild, like the addition of digital eyelids to Ewoks. However, most of the changes are a potent mix of stupid, pointless and incredibly frustrating.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@tkansan.com
The most controversial change is the addition of new dialogue. In "Return of the Jedi", there is a poignant moment during the climactic scene where Darth Vader looks back and forth between his evil overlord and his dying son, leading up to his decision to kill the emperor. It's actually a pretty solid piece of acting for a guy who can't make facial expressions.
Lucas decided that Vader should now express his inner turmoil by shouting "No!" and then "NO!" again, in case we missed the point. These lines recall the humorously overwrought "NOOO!" Vader screamed at the end of "Revenge of the Sith."
I have no idea what George Lucas thinks he's clarifying with this. Does he think we all left the movie saying "Why did Darth Vader kill
the Emperor? Do you think it had something to do with the emperor electrocuting his son?"
The really frustrating thing is that George Lucas used to be genuinely talented and had good ideas. It's not like he made the Star Wars films by accident.
In fact, Lucas had to fight tooth and nail to get the original film made. He pioneered new special effects and wrote hundreds of now-classic lines. Now Lucas seems dead-set on making sure no one sees them as they were originally released. Even if you ignore the really stupid changes, like Greedo shooting first, and just look at the multitude of minor changes he's made over the years, it's still incredibly frustrating. New special effects clash with the old, formerly peaceful scenes become cluttered and chaotic. Every director sees problems with their films in hindsight, but Lucas seems to be the only one with the audacity to go make the changes.
As his new vision competes
with the old, his films become an unseemly mess. It's an ugly, repellent practice. Even George Lucas thinks so.
In 1988, George Lucas spoke before Congress during the debate that would eventually create the National Film Registry. Young George Lucas was furious that companies were going back and re-editing and adding color to old films. He told Congress "people who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit
... are barbarians" and decried using "advanced technology ... to replace actors with 'fresher faces', or alter dialogue."
Still, young Lucas has an excellent point. If we allow Lucas to go back and change his films, what we watch in the future will only vaguely resemble what was originally released. Of course, we are unable to stop him, since he is both the copyright holder and a multi-billionaire. We can only hope he has a change of heart and throws the new editions of the film down a deep chasm. Maybe he can even shout "No!" while he's doing it.
Granted, Lucas was talking about companies changing films against the wishes of their creators, not about creators changing their own work.

CULTURE
Rational or not,some things and fans,will never change
Kansas football games are likely one of the largest displays of blue-clothed and blue-chested 20-sometimes yelling about athletes and mythical animals and waving arms together en masse that you can find.
Every fall semester, for several non-consecutive weeks, masses of both the young and old gather together at an outdoor stadium (no matter the weather) in hopes of witnessing a victory. Relatively loud instrumental music fills the stadium.
By Brett Salsbury
hsalsbury@kansan.com
Not only has our love of entertaining ourselves through venues like athletic competition and other cultural practices (parties, movies, dinners, etc.) wavered little, but we've also gone the extra mile to make sure we will be entertained regardless of the outcome. "Win or lose, we'll still booze," as the Joe College adage goes.
What does this say about our society? We aren't the only culture in the world that will consistently blow money on such entertainment. A different kind of football (soccer to us) is the most popular sport in the world. Ask Europeans if they'll still booze when they lose and I bet you'd get a similar answer
to our own.
For thousands of years, cultures have taken the time to entertain themselves. A surplus of entertainment (and art as well) implies a surplus in wealth and population. If we had half the resources and half the people, our culture would look and operate a lot differently.
But I wonder just how much of an effort it would take for cultural norms like these to change. Clearly, over time and space, a universal need for comfort, fun and relaxation with like-minded people has translated into different ways of passing by the time. I'm not arguing for some sort of change, but it would be valuable to remember the roles we play in perpetuating these norms. We may believe that we are fiercely free-minded, independent individuals, but we are also the product of a culture's ways and means without even thinking con-
Ultimately, the power to change these standards rests in the hands of changing attitudes and customs over a period of time. Realizing how we have a learned ignorance to other cultural practices and how translatable they are over cultural boundaries is invaluable, but yet doesn't serve to change much of the norm in the short term.
The bottom line is that human nature is extremely consistent. I am by no means a behavioral scientist or anything of the sort, but it is clear in my eyes that what makes our current culture distinct from any other is not that we think and reason differently; it is how we employ that very thinking into our own lives that truly makes us original.

Our generic standards of beauty are another example of this; think of how hard it is to project your own standards onto the societal norm. Though what was attractive 10 years ago isn't necessarily the same as today, it's still unremarkably similar.

STUDENT GROUPS
Globally focused club comes to KU
Alderson Auditorium hosted a number of students looking to help others at Nourish International's first interest meeting last Thursday evening.
The purpose of the meeting was to explain the mission and goals of Nourish International, a new global organization on campus. The chapter founded at the University of Kansas is the first chapter established in the Midwest.
Adam Nicholson, the chapter's founder, led the meeting with an explanation of Nourish International's three goals: engaging students, empowering communities and eradicating poverty. Nourish International fundraises throughout the academic year and sends students to impoverished countries on summer mission trips. The organization has been in more than 80 countries in the past five years.
Nicholson explained the founding of Nourish International at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill campus by Sindhura Citineni.
"She just stepped up to the plate, took a swing and she hit a home run," Nicholson said, using her as a prime example of student determination.
Plans were discussed by Nicholson about raising awareness on campus. Most recently, the the University's chapter has worked with the Spanish department to contact suppliers in Paraguay about importing fresh goods to campus for students. Venture director Nicole Lawson encouraged students to contribute to the efforts.
"We want you to be as involved as you can and want to be," she said.

CAMPUS
Events to educate on sexual assault
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is fanning out across campus for Sexual Assault Awareness Week through Sept. 18. The University announced events for the week.
Tuesday
"Consent and Alcohol," 7 p.m. at Hashinger Hall Theater
Thursday
"Honoring Survivors," a candlelight vigil, 8 p.m. at the Campanile
Additionally, volunteers will be on Wescoe Beach each day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..
The observance of Sexual Assault Awareness in September marks a shift from its traditional observance in April. Sonja Heath, assistant director of the resource center, said the change was made in part to boost engagement.
"I believe that making this change will help facilitate student growth and development in a number of ways." Heath said in a release. "At the beginning of the year, students are typically much more engaged in extra-curricular activities and may have more time to participate in programs and events."

CRIME
A man accused of watching residents shower in residence halls will appear before a judge today.
Shower case goes to court today
Devin Mason was charged in August with five counts of eavesdropping. The charges stem from several incidents in April where a man entered bathrooms in Hashinger and McCollum Halls and watched residents shower.
Mason has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Underage drinking in college remains difficult to address
Bartender Chris Neverve sees it every year. The cops come in, drop off a sign about underage drinking and make random visits throughout the semester. Yet the problem never goes away.
"Honestly, I can't speak for everyone, but it's pretty much stayed the same," he said. "You always got to be on your toes."
Neverve, who has bartended at the Red Lyon Tavern for seven years, said fighting underage drinking is a "never-ending battle". Neverve added despite law enforcement's attempts to curb the problem, he hasn't noticed a drop off since he began bartending.
Neverve said that as the semester progresses, underage students learn which bars card and which bars don't. The Red Lyon Tavern is not the place for underage students to go, he said.
"Even though it's 18 everywhere else, the rules are the rules here."
PARENTS AND THE LAW
Katherine Moore, a senior from Leawood, said the problem with underage drinking stems not from a lack of enforcement, but from parental guidance.
CRIME
"My parent's didn't talk to me and then I came to college and drank too much," she said. "I had negative repercussions because of that."
Moore said fake IDs are easy to come by, rendering random checks at bars by police officers ineffective.
"I think students drink excessively, especially their first two years of college. It's because they are put in an environment where everyone drinks excessively," she said. "They're not mature enough nor are they around people who know how to drink in a normal,
controlled manner."
POLICE KEEP CHASING
Capt. Schuyler Bailey from the KU Public Safety Office said, in an email, that campus policecontinue to work with the Lawrence Police Department, the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control and Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism to crack down of fake IDs and educate minors about alcohol.
Using grant money obtained by the DCCCA, these departments monitor bars and liquor stores on select weekends. The departments also use grant money to create educational ads for TV and newspaper.
"With the creation of the task force, through the grant, we've seen an increase in the number of arrests because of the additional officers specifically targeting these violations," Bailey said.
Bailey said that students should understand underage drinking is illegal and "there are no exceptions and few warnings given to underage persons caught drinking."
Sgt. Matt Sarna, a spokesperson for the Lawrence Police Department said, in an email, that the department has received the Fake ID 101 grant for three years. The grant provides funding for the Lawrence Police department to put more officers on the street. Extra officers work directed patrol assignments on the weekends to combat problem violations, such as underage drinking.
He said that punishment for underage drinking varies from a minimum fine of $300 to the maximum fine $500. Punishment could also include 30 days in jail, 40 hours of community service work, mandatory attendance of an alcohol information school and a drivers' license suspension ranging from 30 days to one year.

BOOZE
Marceaux suggests that underage students get involved in church activities and university clubs, rather than boozing the weekends away. She doesn't know if parental guidance, law enforcement or a smattering of both works best to combat underage drinking, but she said education programs at the University couldn't hurt.
There is one significant upside to avoiding underage drinking, she said.
"I have a problem with over drinking and drinking period," Marceaux said. "There's so many cooler things you can do than drink."
"There are so many more ways to have fun without drinking, and the best part is you get to remember what happened the next day."
Christian beliefs keep Kayt Marceaux, a junior from Lenexa, sober and out of the bars.

Mother of Morris twins given "Life Saver" award
It seems as if Angel Morris has been living up to her name.
Morris, the mother of former men's basketball players Markieff and Marcus Morris, will receive the first-ever "Life Saver" award from Headquarters Counseling Center on Oct. 7.
According to a press release. Headquarters is honoring Morris for her "sacrifice and selfless actions" in the wake of the sudden death last January of Lisa Robinson, mother of junior forward Thomas Robinson.
Morris originally moved to Lawrence from Philadelphia when her sons started playing for Kansas in 2008. Although Morris's sons left Kansas last spring to enter the NBA draft, she decided to continue living in Lawrence to support Robinson for the rest of his college career.
Morris will receive her award during Headquarters' Life Support Refresher fundraiser at Macell's, 1031 New Hampshire St. The annual fundraiser features live music, international food and a silent auction. Tickets are $50 each or $80 for two.
Headquarters, which is partially funded by Student Senate, offers free counseling and information 24-hours a day to Kansas students and members of the Lawrence community.

Windom was named the 2010-2011 Most Improved Player as a freshman. She also finished the season ranked fifth in the central region.
Dylan Windom, a sophomore from Tifton, Ga., and Ekaterina Morozova, a senior from Togliatta, Russia, look to accomplish their goals by combining forces to form one unstoppable doubles team.
Last year Morozona played No.1 singles for the Jayhawks and had an overall record of 12-9; 6-4 versus Big 12 opponents. She was named to the All-Big 12 singles team.
In the spring of 2011 Windom and Morozova paired up to go 15-7 in No.1 doubles play, including a 6-5 record against Big 12 teams. According to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the pair ended the season fifth in the central region and No.67 nationally.
This year the doubles squad has even higher expectations and has been ranked 33rd nationally in Campbell/ ITA preseason rankings. Windom and Morozova were also selected to compete in the 2011 ITA/Riviera Women's All-American Tennis Championships Oct. 1 at UCLA.
The tennis season kicks off in Lawrence at the Jayhawk Tennis Center on Friday.

Brady throws for 517 yards
He was close, though.
MIAMI—Tom Brady threw his first interception since October, so he wasn't perfect in the New England Patriots' opener.
Brady threw for a team-record 517 yards and four touchdowns, including a 99-yarder to Wes Welker, and the reigning AFC East champions started with a victory for the eighth consecutive season Monday night by beating the Miami Dolphins 38-24.
Defensive end Jared Odrick picked off a deflected pass to set
New England totaled 622 yards, the most in franchise history and the most allowed by Miami.
Brady's performance overshadowed Miami's Chad Henne, who threw for a career-high 416 yards. The 906 net yards passing by both teams was an NFL record.

"We're pleased to have him on our side," teammate Danny Woodhead said with a smile.
The capper came with 5:44 left and the Patriots leading 31-17. On downs they stopped Miami on downs at the 1-foot line, Brady lined up in the shotgun on first down and threw from his end zone to Welker, who had slipped behind Benny Sapp near the 30-yard line.
Welker caught the pass in stride and sprinted untouched for the score to complete the longest play in Patriots history.
"Some of their scores ended up looking like it was kind of easy," Miami coach Tony Sparano said.

The Dolphins' defense returned virtually intact from last season and was expected to be the team's strength, but Brady riddled them from the start.
"Not the defensive performance we were hoping for. That's an understatement."
Brady also threw touchdown passes on consecutive plays. He hit Aaron Hernandez for a 31-yard score, and when a replay review determined the receiver was down at the 1, Brady threw to him again for a TD on the next play.
He completed his first eight passes for 127 yards on the Patriots' first two possessions, and both ended with TDs.
His other scoring passes covered 10 yards to Rob Gronkowski and 2 vards to Welker.
Brady was sacked only once, and good protection gave his receivers plenty of time to work their way open.
Newcomer Chad Ochocino had only one catch for 14 yards. But Welker made eight receptions for 160 yards, and tight ends Hernandez and Gronkowski combined for 189 yards on 13 catches.
"It wasn't a one-man band out there," coach Bill Belichick said. "We had a lot of contributions."
Brady's first interception since Oct. 17 came early in the third quarter, when he tried to hit Julian Edelman in the flat. Sapp deflected the ball to the 304-pound Odrick, who rumbled 40 yards to the 9. Two plays later, Henne hit Brian Hartline with a 10-yard touchdown pass to make the score 14-all.
Brady was so rattled it took him 10 plays to put the Pats ahead to stay. They drove 73 yards and scored on his 2-yard pass to Welker.
Miami's problems with Brady were nothing new. He and the Pats beat the Dolphins twice last year while outscoring them 79-21. Losing at home was not different for the Dolphins, either, who have dropped 10 of their past 11 home games.

Junior receiver D.J. Beshears was named the Big 12 special teams player of the week and was one of six players named to the Paul Hornung Award weekly roll after finishing with 285 all-purpose yards in Kansas' 45-42 victory against Northern Illinois.
Beshears scored the first touchdown of the game on a 15-yard reception from sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb midway through the first quarter. Beshears the cornerback deep and
Webb hit him in the endzone to put the Jayhawks up 7-0.
He finished the day as the Jayhawks' leading receiver, catching seven passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns.
Beshears was big in all facets of the game. He returned two kickoffs past the 50-yard line to give the Jayhawks a short field, including his 51-yard return to the Northern Illinois 47-yard line with fewer than five minutes to play to set up the game-winning score.
of the drive, Beshears ran 18 yards along the sideline before muscle cramps forced him to tip-toe out of bounds at the 26-yard line.
That wasn't the last time Beshears burnt the Northern Illinois defense. On the second play
With nine seconds left in the game, Beshears found a hole in the middle of the Northern Illinois defense and caught a pass from Webb. He muscled his way across the goal line and past a Northern Illinois defender to put Kansas ahead for good and complete the Jayhawks' upset.

Scot Pollard AT KANSAS YEARS:1993-1997
A high school all-American, Pollard has often been known for his personality as well for his ability. He received the nickname "Samurai Scot" in the NBA for his outlandish hairyISTs. He hosted a TV segment while playing for the Boston Celtics in 2008. And once, he filled in for a missing color commentator during a 2008 game while he was out with an ankle injury. Pollard finished his Kansas career in the top five in rebounds (358) and blocked shots (218). He played four years under Roy Williams, winning three conference regular-season titles while averaging 9.4 points. He played 11 seasons in the NBA and now lives in Lawrence with his family.
ACCOLADES
- 1993 Parade High School All-American
• Finished his career in the top five in rebounds and blocked shots
• 1st-round draft choice in the 1997 NBA draft
• Played for five NBA teams during his 11-year career
• Won an NBA championship in 2008 with the Boston Celtics
BEFORE KANSAS
Pollard began his high school career at Torrey Pines High in San Diego. He played three seasons there before transferring to Kamiakin High in Kennewick, Wash. He was named a high school All-American by Parade magazine in 1993.
DEFINING MOMENT
ON TO THE NBA
After being selected 19th overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 1997 NBA draft, Pollard made his mark with the Sacramento Kings. He averaged more than 16 minutes a game in four of his five seasons, often times playing behind center Vlade Divac and forward Chris Webber. He then traveled to Indiana, playing the better part of four seasons with the Pacers before signing a one-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007. After losing to the San Antonio Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals, Pollard eventually won a championship as a member of the 2008 Boston Celtics in his final NBA season.
Greg Ostertag
AT KANSAS
YEARS: 1992-1995
- Kansas' all-time blocked shots leader (258)
    - Member of 1993 Final Four team
    - 12th on Kansas rebound list (770)
- Led the Jayhawks in rebounding in 1994 and 1995 seasons
    - 1st-round draft choice in the 1995 NBA draft
    - 11-year NBA career
Ostertag, a shot-blocking machine, still holds the school record with 258 blocks during his four seasons at Kansas. He played in the 1993 Final Four under Roy Williams and currently ranks 12th on the school's rebounding list with 770. He spent 11 seasons in the NBA, including 10 with the Utah Jazz. He retired in 2006 and now lives with his wife and three children in Arizona.
ACCOLADES
- 11-year NBA career
* Member of two NBA Finals teams
BEFORE KANSAS
Already a seven-footer before graduating high school, Ostertag led his Dallas-area high school to its first basketball state championship in 1990 before committing to Kansas.
ON TO THE NBA
Ostertag played 10 of his 11 NBA seasons with the Utah Jazz, averaging four points and five rebounds per game during his 11-year career. However, his biggest contribution was made off the court. In 2002, Ostertag donated a kidney to his sister who was suffering from kidney disease. To this day, he remains the only NBA player to ever donate an organ and return to play.
DEFINING MOMENT
Ostertag set a school record with 97 blocks in the 1993-1994 season. It was high-lighted by an eight-block performance in a 62-61 overtime win against Oklahoma State.

THE MORNING BREW
The resurrection of high-top sneakers
Twenty-two years after "Back to the Future Part II" was created, Nike created Marty McFly's shoes, the Nike Air Mag 2011. Only 1,500 pairs were made and every day for 10 days starting on Sept. 8. Nike and Ebay will auction off 150 pairs.
How much are these shoes going for? If you said a few hundred, I'm sorry. That's a little low.
Try a few thousand. One pair sold for more than $38,000. The proceeds benefited the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
If I had an unlimited cash

supply, I probably would buy them just to help the cause, but the high-top looks too high. The shoe lights up, so it's got that going for it, which is nice, but how does it stack up to other classic high-top shoes?
CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLORS
These shoes are much more practical. They can be found online for $50. Leonardo Di Capri in "The Basketball Diaries" and Michael J. Fox in "Back to the Future" wore these shoes. These are classic canvas shoes that won't be an eyesore. There is a vast array of colors and designs that fit any taste.
Now the question is if these shoes are better than the Nike Air Mag 2011. Better is subjective. The shoes are definitely more classic. I have no idea how comfortable the Air Mags are, but I do know that the Chucks
are great on the feet.
I'm going to have to give Converse the edge over Nike here because of the price discrepancy and the Chucks are classics. Even though the Air Mags have the light, that's all they have.
If you don't know what PF Flyers are, please go watch "The Sandlot." If you have seen it and still don't know what it I'm talking about, go watch it again.
The one-hit wonder Mike Vitar, who played Bennie Rodriguez, famously wore the Flyers. That name doesn't say much, but
if you know "The Sandlot," it means everything.
PF FLYERS
The Nike Air Mag 2011 high tops lose another round.
These shoes are also more practical than the Nikes and prices are comparable to the Chucks.
CONVERSE VS. PF FLYERS
This is a tough one. The Chucks are classics, but the PF Flyers are legends from a childhood movie. As much as I love "The Sandlot," Converse's Chuck Taylor high-tops will never go out of style.

Mistake in AP Top 25 poll gives Alabama extra vote
No. 2 Alabama gained a firstplace vote in the latest Associated Press college football poll and No.1 Oklahoma lost one after a mistake in the entry of the ballots was corrected.
When the rankings were fixed Monday, Alabama had 10 first-place votes and Oklahoma 31 while South Carolina and Nebraska switched places. The Gamecocks are now No. 10, the Cornhuskers
No.11.
Also, Texas moved from No. 24 into a tie for 23rd with TCU.
The extra first-place vote gives Alabama 1,423 points. Oklahoma has 1,440 points.
The mixup started Sunday with an amended ballot from voter Mike DiRocco of the Florida Times-Union.
"I transposed the results of the Arizona-Missouri game and had
Missouri winning," he said. "When I realized that, I readjusted my ballot and sent it in."
"Got it," said the confirmation email from the AP.
But instead of subbing DiRocco's previous ballot, the new one was inadvertently attached by the AP to Sal Interdonato of the Times Herald-Record of Middletown, N.Y.
The error with DiRocco's ballot was caught later that night when
he received an email saying his AP ballot didn't match the one on his blog.
The AP moved a corrected poll Sunday night that pointed out changes in point totals for several teams. No rankings were affected. It was followed by an advisory noting the changes.
On Monday. Interdonato emailed to say the ballot posted online by the AP didn't match the one
he submitted. He had been alerted by an Auburn fan who asked why he didn't have the Tigers ranked.
A recheck of ballots showed Di-Rocco's amended ballot in place of Interdonato's.
Another poll moved to include Interdonato's correct ballot, which changed the first-place votes and the rankings for the three schools.
Associated Press
- Now No. 11, Nebraska, and now No. 10, South Carolina, traded places.
- Texas now moves up to No. 23 into a tie with TCU.
- The Poll also takes one first place vote from Oklahoma and gives it to Alabama.
- The Sonkers now have 31 first place
- The Sooners now have 31 first place votes and the Crimson foe 10.
* There are also a few shifts in the teams ranked below 25.

COMMENTARY
Football provides fans hope
1
Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
On numerous occasions before the Jayhawks' victory against Northern Illinois, family and friends asked me what the outcome of the game would be.
It wasn't hard for me to respond with a win for Northern Illinois. After all, the Huskies were coming off a trip to last year's MAC Championship game, and the Jayhawks were coming off a 3-9 travesty. Northern Illinois boasted quarterback Chandler Harnish, who broke a 47-year-old Northern Illinois total offense record with 3,366 yards last year; Kansas had Jordan Webb at quarterback.
Yet after watching the Jayhawks tame the Huskies, two things became clear: Kansas might be able to win a MAC Championship, and, unexpectedly, I now have hope for this season.
After the game, you didn't have to listen hard to hear KU fans talk about Iowa State, Kansas State and even Texas Tech as possible wins. The perception of KU football rapidly went from a presumed bottom-dweller to a group of potentially lovable underdogs.
The truth of the matter is that this team is still finding its identity. The program is no doubt on the way up, and clearly it is starting with the backfield. But when dealing with a twisted demon like hope, you can't get ahead of yourself, and you can't falter with every speed bump.
They proved Sports Illustrated's preseason prediction of 1-11 wrong, and who says where they'll stop? Perhaps what was initially expected to be another rebuilding year is actually the start of a competitive era for coach Turner Gill.
As Red said in The Shawshank Redemption "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."
Jayhawk fans need to be wary of hope. The reality is Kansas defeated two teams in lesser conferences, and when it's time to face Oklahoma and Texas in the Big 12, the true colors of this KU team will show itself.
But hope isn't expectations, and it's not reality. Hope is an emotional rollercoaster that turns sports fans into manic-depressive zombies.
Jayhawk fans: I'm hoping with you. But it's time to tread carefully, because as nice as it is to defeat a MAC contender, it doesn't compare to a Big 12 victory.
Jayhawk fans would love to be able to pile into a packed Memorial Stadium each Saturday. They would relish in having a reason to cheer as loud for the football team as they do for the basketball team. Now they have hope that it will soon become a reality.
While walking the streets of Lawrence after the game, you could feel the excitement. Massachusetts Street was buzzing, and the student ghetto was rocking. It seemed as if suddenly people were starting to believe in Kansas football.
Behind all of the chatter — and behind all of the silenced doubters (including myself) — the most dangerous notion in sports had finally crept into the minds of KU football fans: Hope.

BIG 12 BREAKUP
In this April 30, 2008, file photo, Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive, left, and Big XII Commissioner Dan Beebe listen as fellow members of the BCS discussed the proposed changes to the college football championship series in Hollywood, Fla. The Associated Press has obtained an email indicating that it was Baylor that raised the specter of legal action to stop Texas A&M from leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. The email was sent late Tuesday by Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe to Mike Slive, his counterpart at the SEC.

Texas A&M looks to be one step closer to officially breaking away from the Big 12, and the University of Oklahoma will likely be next.
The Big 12's hopes of survival took a turn for the worse Monday.
Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement released Monday that the SEC is in the process of organizing its schedules to include Texas A&M for the 2012-2013 seasons.
"In the 78 year history of the SEC, the conference had accepted the membership applications of only two institutions — Arkansas and South Carolina. Texas A&M is now the third," Slive said.
The Aggies were officially accepted into the SEC last Wednesday, but the move was contingent on the remaining Big 12 members waiving their right to litigation against Texas A&M and the SEC. However, the only Big 12 institution to sign the waiver was Oklahoma.
The actions of the Big 12 schools, including Kansas, prompted Texas A&M president, R. Bowen Loftin, to classify A&M as being held "hostage" in the conference.
Despite the eight unsigned waivers, Baylor, who many believe would be left out of a BCS conference following the Big 12's collapse, is the only school that threatened to take legal action against A&M. Slive's most recent comments ignore the significance of any legal threat from Baylor.
"When Texas A&M joins our conference, we don't have immediate plans for a 14th member. We aren't thinking in terms of numbers," Slive said. "We think about the strength of the SEC and the attractiveness of Texas A&M as an institution."
On the western front of conference realignment, it appears Oklahoma will pursue joining the Pac12 while also bringing along rival Oklahoma State.
Slive said the SEC was content with 12 schools, but a phone call from Loftin swayed the conference in favor of expansion.
According to the Associated Press, officials from the University of Texas, including school president William Powers Jr. and athletic director DeLoss Dodds, met with Oklahoma officials Sunday after learning of Oklahoma's desire to leave the Big 12.
Texas has remained committed to the Big 12's survival during the recent developments, but the conference needs Oklahoma to remain intact.
According to Orangebloots.com, the discussions did not go very well. The report said that Oklahoma's desire to leave the conference stems from the university's belief that the Big 12 is too unstable to repair.
In addition, the Oklahoma Board of Regents is expected to meet and make a decision by the end of the month.
Oklahoma officials had previously indicated that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are tied together, so losing the Sooners would mean the Cowboys would also leave the
Big 12. Billionaire and Oklahoma State booster T. Boone Pickens spoke in favor of remaining in the Big 12 during the school's Thursday night game with Arizona.
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott revealed Friday that the conference would not make any expansion decisions before Texas
A&M officially moves to the SEC.
As of right now, neither Oklahoma nor Oklahoma State have an invitation to join the Pac-12, but it does not seem likely that the schools would aggressively seek a swift departure without having options.

Injury weakens thin defensive line
KANSAS 5
MIKE VERNON
mveronon@kansan.com
Kansas' win against Northern Illinois on Saturday came at a costly price.
Junior defensive tackle John Williams clogs the middle against McNeese State on Sept. 3. Williams tore his ACL Saturday against Northern Illinois, and will be out for the remainder of the season.
The 6-foot-3, 305-pound defender had been a key player early in the Jayhawks' season before going down with the injury, totaling three tackles and a recovered fumble against McNeese State.
Junior defensive tackle John Williams suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Saturday night's action.
A big part of Williams' importance to the defense does not show on the stat sheet — he had been playing well in a position that is thin for Kansas.
MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Senior Pat Dorsey, a probable starter at defensive tackle, is out with an injury that coach Turner Gill said should last three to four more weeks.
With the run-heavy Georgia Tech offense taking on the Kansas defense this Saturday, Williams' injury comes at an unfortunate time for the Jayhawks. Williams's position, defensive tackle, is particularly important in clogging the middle of the line of scrimmage and slowing down the opponent's run game.
As with most injuries, though,
it provides an opportunity for a
new face to rise up.
"It is definitely going to hurt every time you lose one of your starters," Gill said in Monday's Big 12 teleconference. "But it also provides another opportunity for someone else to come in and do their job."
Listed behind Williams on the Kansas depth chart is sophomore defensive tackle Randall Dent Jr., who has not yet got on the stat sheet in his Kansas football
career. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound tackle redshirted in 2009 and spent time on the compete team (scout team) last season.
Another likely option to get playing time in Williams' place is senior defensive tackle Richard Johnson. Johnson is listed as the backup behind sophomore Kevin Young, the other starting defensive tackle for Kansas.
Johnson would certainly bring
experience to the Georgia Tech game, as he started every game last season and five the season before. He's already played against Georgia Tech once, so it wouldn't be a shock if Johnson appears on the starting lineup this week.
A wild card to make an appearance at defensive tackle is freshman defensive end Pat Lewandowski. Lewandowski is listed as a second-string defensive end,
but has spent time in practice at the defensive tackle spot.
At 6-foot-6, 248-pounds, Lewandowski's large frame makes him a natural selection for the defensive tackle spot.
As for the Jayhawks, their run defense has been the strong point of the defense, but that isn't saying much. Of the 441 yards of offense the Jayhawks' opponents have averaged against them in
their first two games, an average of 121 yards have come on the ground.
The defense will go on without Williams, and they can only hope his replacement can help stop that Georgia Tech rushing attack.

International students, like all students, adjust to college life in varying ways. For some it's like putting on your favorite pair of jeans, but for others, fitting in can be more difficult.
100
Omar Al-Kaf, a chemical engineering senior from Aden, Yen
Beijing, China
men, had difficulty adjusting to American life when he studied in Boulder, Colo., as a high school junior. He found it filled with different cultures, different religions and even different ways of doing things around the house. Returning to America to attend the University of Kansas, however, Al-Kaf had an easier time transitioning.
"I got in touch with the Muslim community here, which I didn't do back in Boulder," Al-Kaf said.
The close proximity of the Islamic center helped Al-Kaf find a sense of community, something difficult for him because he may be the University's sole Yemeni student.
"I've been checking with the International Student Office since I came and it looks like I'm the only student from Yemen so far." Al-Kaf said with a chuckle.
After returning to Yemen for his senior year, he decided to come back to America to pursue higher education after receiving a scholarship.
Al-Kaf chose Kansas because of both its engineering program and its campus diversity.
After coming to the University, Al-Kaf got involved in the International Student Association and connected to others in his situation at the international student orientation. More than 2,000 international students attended the University during the spring 2011 semester. About one in 13 students here are from another country.
While meeting students from different cultures, Al-Kaf also
found ways to stay faithful to his own culture among his friends.
"Sometimes I'm like 'I'm going to go pray,' and they appreciate that I'm committed to my religion." Al-Kaf said. "Just seeing supporting people and people being nice to you, that's really helped me get along and be better at the University."
Graduate student Alex Mironenko said the change from life in Omsk, Russia, to America was difficult at first.
Mironenko said he was sad when the orientation was over because he wanted to keep those connections with other students.
"In the beginning I felt lonely," Mironenko said. "To me a very exciting thing was international student orientation."
The son of engineering parents, Mironenko studies chemical engineering, "continuing the tradition of my family," he said.
A Fulbright scholarship gave him the opportunity to attend the University of Kansas and study green chemistry and engineering.
Mironenko had to adjust both to American culture as well as the habits of his roommates, who are also international Fulbright scholars. He said the differences created some problems for them initially.
"I'm going to create something new, like a new environmentally friendly process, reduce some chemical use, create some alternate route," Mironenko said. "That's one of my lifetime goals."
"It was very,very hard to get used
to each other because, being from different countries, there are different water assumptions," Mironenko said. "Brazil and Honduras are very water deficient countries and Russia has an ample amount of water. So we argued about how long we should take a shower."

Man wrongly convicted of murder tells story
CAMPUS
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Old bank receipts — ink decaying — lie sprinkled across the seats and floor of Darryl Hunt's car.
He asks: "Do you remember where you was at two days ago?"
Hunt's answer is on a receipt. Date, time and photo supplied. He needs the answer so he's got the proof, in case he's wrongly convicted of murder again.
After a screening of the documentary "The Trials of Darryl Hunt," journalism professor Simran Sethi led an open question and answer forum Tuesday evening at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little shared opening remarks, journalist Phoebe Zerwick joined via Skype and students, faculty and members of the public listened and posed questions to Zerwick, Hunt and Imam Khalid Griggs, a founding member of the Darryl Hunt Defense Fund.
In 1984, Hunt, a young black man, was accused of murdering Deborah Sykes, a 25-year-old white copy editor in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Sykes was returning to work when she was raped, stabbed 16
times and killed. Her body was found naked from the waist down.
A local man told police that he had seen Sykes with an black man during the morning of the crime. After describing the man's appearance, the local picked Hunt from a photo lineup.
Hunt was tried for first-degree murder, and after witnesses confirmed him as the man with Sykes on the day of the crime, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
The same witnesses from the first trial told the same story, Hunt's inmates testified that he admitted the murder to them in prison, and again, Hunt was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
"Racism has been so intertwined with justice, it's very hard to separate them," Griggs said.
He was retired in Catawba County, N.C., before an all-white jury.
Zerwick, who wrote an eight-part series in 2003 that details the injustices of Hunt's trials, discussed how different media handled the case at the time.
"The hardest was being convicted of something I didn't do," Hunt said.
"The mistake was that by being fair and balanced, we were misleading our readers and not getting to the truth," Zerwick said of the Winston-Salem Journal's analysis of the case.
Shortly after Zerwick's series, more than 19 years in prison and 10 years after DNA proved that he did not rape Sykes. Hunt was exonerated and freed in 2005.
Hunt said while he was incarcerated, he was often depressed and unsure of what to do, but faith and hope kept his dream of freedom alive.
"I grew up in the church." Hunt said.
Now Hunt travels from place to place, sharing his story and helping free those who are experiencing the nightmare he finally escaped. But he hasn't shed everything from those days.
Hunt said that he never expunged his criminal record. At the top, in large print, it still reads: "CONVICTED." In smaller print, way toward the bottom it reads: "exonerated."
The record is a reminder of what Hunt's been through and what he wants to prevent.
"I don't want to forget what they done to me." Hunt said.

HAVANA. CUBA
The government said Tuesday it would appeal the decision of the Palermo civil tribunal, which held Italy's transport and defense ministries liable for having failed to guarantee the security of the flight.
An evangelical pastor and 60 worshippers holed up in a Havana church for more than three weeks under the watchful eye of police said Tuesday they are conducting a religious retreat and denied reports they are doomsday watchers or dissident agitators.
Cuba's government said that none of the evangelicals are there against their will and that police surrounded the church to prevent any incidents after family members expressed worries about loved ones on the inside, including four pregnant women and 19 minors.
A medical team entered to verify that the worshippers were in good health and warned the pregnant women a prolonged stay would be dangerous.
ROME, ITALY
BUENOS AIRES. ARGENTINA
A bus driver gambled and tried to rush across railroad tracks Tuesday despite a barrier, bells and flashing lights, setting off a chain-reaction collision with two trains that killed 11 people and injured hundreds in Argentina's capital.
The Itavia DC-9 airliner crashed June 27, 1980 en route from Bologna to Palermo near the island of Ustica. The cause remains a mystery. Among the theories are that there was a bomb on board or that the airliner might have been caught accidentally in the crossfire of a military aerial dogfight.
An Italian court has ordered the government to pay euro 100 million ($137 million) in civil damages to relatives of 81 people killed in a 1980 aircraft disaster that remains one of Italy's most enduring mysteries.
The shocking accident, captured on video, came as little surprise to many in Buenos Aires, where 440 people and 165 vehicles were hit by trains last year, causing a total of 269 deaths.
In the latest accident, the bus got halfway across the first track before an oncoming passenger train crushed it against a concrete station platform. The collision forced the train's first two cars off the rails and into another locomotive that was leaving the station in the other direction.
SANAA. YEMEN
Yemen military airstrikes on anti-government tribesmen killed seven civilians, medical officials said, as hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country on Tuesday to protest the latest attempt by their president to evade pressure to step down.
The attack is the latest by Republican Guards targeting tribes that support the protests.
Tribes in Arhab have announced an alliance with the protesters and are trying to prevent forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh from controlling the area. The government claims the tribesmen are linked to al-Qaida.
Residents and medical officials say at least 60 people have been killed in Arhab, north of Sanaa, in government attacks this year.

INTERNATIONAL FROM PAGE 1
Mirenkenko was an international student orientation leader and is president of the Students for Green Chemistry and Engineering group, which works to bring in lecturers and plan plant tours.
"I don't think I got any culture shock or homesickness," Ma said. "It was really, really interesting for me and I met so many people and made friends."
"I made really good friends with my RA and we still keep in touch," Ma said. "Every day I was so busy, there was so much to do that was so interesting that I really liked it."
Ma lived in McCollum Hall her freshman year and made friends with the students on her floor.
"This week or next week we're going to give a presentation to freshman about green chemistry," Minenko said. "We really try and promote this field."
When choosing a college, Ma said she wanted to go to another country where they spoke English so she could practice it.
For Maggie Ma, a junior from Beijing, life in America is the perfect fit.
"Someone just told me 'Why don't you come to America?'" she said.
Ma has now found ways to be involved on campus. She participates in KU DanceSport and moved into Sellards Scholarship Hall last year. She also likes to attend the events hosted by Student Union Activities.
Ma said after her time at Kansas is finished, she will remember the basketball games, Big Jay and Baby Jay, and many other traditions.
"I really love the on campus activities that KU has because it gives me opportunities to make new friends." Ma said.
"It makes me feel like, 'Oh I'm in a really great school.' It makes me really proud," Ma said.

Chinese student settles in at Kansas
CAMPUS
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
While many incoming students find themselves away from home for the first time at the University of Kansas, one student traveled half-way around the world to go to school. Qi Zheng, a 22-year-old graduate student, came all the way from Dalian, China, located in the northeast part of the country, to pursue a Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering.
When asked why she decided to study in the United States, Zheng said, "I wanted to try a different kind of life."
Although Zheng spent a month researching at University of California-Davis in the summer of 2010, this is her first time living outside her home country for an extended period of time.
Zheng arrived in Kansas Aug. 7.
"During the first week, I didn't think much about the difficulties," said Zheng. "I was too excited."
Her first day of classes was a mix of surprises and frustrations.
"I did not find any other students who were Chinese," Zheng said. Besides her roommate, Zheng still has not found any other Chinese students on campus. However, she is part of a growing trend of Chinese students pursuing degree programs in the States. According to the Institute of International Education, 130,000 Chinese students studied at American universities during the 2009-2010 school year, an increase of 30 percent from the year before. This makes up a large chunk of the nearly 700,000 foreign students studying in the U.S.
Zheng noticed significant differences between American and Chinese cultures.
"People tend to be more friendly," said Zheng. "People ask 'how are you?' even though they might not know you."
She also noticed how students thank bus drivers and offer free rides, two things that would never happen in China.
With the new culture, adjusting to the language and communication has been challenging. Contributing to in-class discussions are more difficult for foreign students than for native speakers.
"I will think about an idea in Chinese and then translate it into English," Zheng said. "My reaction is not as quick as other students."
This also translates to talking on phones.
"It's most difficult to make phone calls," Zheng said. "During face to face conversations, you can see facial expressions and hand gestures that help."
In spite of this, Zheng feels as
though she is getting used to her new life in Kansas.
"I'm starting to get used to everything, and understand what the professors and students are talking about," Zheng said.
This helps in her work as a teaching assistant for an upper level chemical engineering class.
"I'm starting to be able to help students in class," Zheng said. "I feel a sense of achievement."
Zheng has the opportunity to speak Chinese only at night when she sees her roommate, Xiaoemong Su. Zheng met Su last spring via QQ. QQ is a Chinese instant messenger service that connects Chinese users to people with similar interests. A group designed for Chinese students looking to attend the University of Kansas allowed the two to connect.
Su is a first year Ph.D student majoring in civil engineering. She
also finds life to be quite different in the United States.
"In China, we always have classmates and things to do together, but in the U.S., I'm a lot more independent," Su said.
The two roommates had originally thought they could cook together, but soon found it more difficult than they had thought.
"We just have too different of diets." Su said.
Su is adjusting to her new life. Having a fellow Chinese roommate makes the process easier.
Both students look forward to their future at the University of Kansas.
"Trying to make new friends is just the beginning." Zheng said. "As you meet more people, you get more help and life will be easier."

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Take it slow today to get things done quickly. Go ahead and hide out, if you want. Take time to manage finances, and reward yourself with relaxation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
**Facts** 20-05-207
Today is a 7
Wait until later to discuss an upcoming purchase. If you can't get what you need close to home, look further away. A loved one understands you without words.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7
Lean on your friends, and offer an arm when needed. There may be less cash flowing around, but you've got your posse. You're not in it for the money, anyway. Remember your intention.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 6
Do it yourself to save money ... every penny counts. The expensive way's not the best. Conserve resources and energy, and relax with a good book later.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
In today's obstacle course, make sure to follow the rules and avoid dangerous shortcuts (especially where money's concerned). Thank a nag for the reminder. You might have missed the turn.
Today is a 6
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 6
You don't have to try to understand everything. Let your emotions take you where you want to go. Contradictions make the world interesting. Abandon figuring it out.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7
There may be a tendency to be too harsh on yourself now. Don't go down that tunnel. Listen to a friend's good advice, and get plenty of rest. Things will look different tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 9
Your career could take a leap forward now, but don't race at the expense of your health. Consider all the options, and be responsible. Delegate for a sustainable partnership.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your career could take a leap forward now, but don't race at the expense of your health. Consider all the options, and be responsible. Delegate for a sustainable partnership.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
Home is where the heart is (especially now), so stay close to by keep the blood pumping. Encourage criticism to discover a project's weaknesses. Put in the correction.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
All of a sudden, everything starts making sense. Don't wish you wish you could capture special moments in a bottle to savor later? Just drink them in. Take photos, maybe.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 9
Work on what you love and the money will follow. If you make a mess, just clean it up and move forward. No time for complaining. No romance yet, either. Stay focused.

Multari told The Herald newspaper of Sharon he announced a reward a day after the Aug. 31 burglary and that Pratt called claiming to have heard glass breaking when the alarm sounded at 2:45 a.m. and "said he would help in any way" to catch the thief.
Police have since charged 28-year-old Emile Pratt Jr. with burglarizing Mark Multari's Gold Mind Jewelers in Sharon, about 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

The lawsuit claims the restaurant could not accommodate a customer of Kessman's stature, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The suit seeks an unspecified financial judgment.
Spokesman Jamie Richardson at White Castle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, said the restaurant is being replaced and that the new one will have roomier seating.
a western Pennsylvania jewelry store owner said a man charged with burglarizing the shop called and offered to help solve the case after the owner offered a reward.

While I was at DIOP tonight for a meeting, I spotted my grandpa on the wall of WWII soldiers. I felt proud to know a hero. So here's a BIG thank you to all those who have served our country from the past, present and the future.
So I ran into this girl on campus I like. We talked for a while. I texted her later, only to find out she wasn't on campus that day. WHO THE HELL DID I TALK TO?

I think it's funny that all the students getting mad at these pro-life people are kids who WERENT aborted.
My 72-year-old teacher said "whore" today in class ... Priceless.
Whoever wrote "babies are delicious" on the free speech board next to the abortion display, my definition of hero was just redefined.

Communication essential to Senate success
At any college or university, student government is a key institution of protection for students.
The University of Kansas Student Senate is a broad organization that handles student issues covering all corners of campus. From allocating student fees for essential services to advocating for student involvement on administrative committees; Student Senate governs with a representative voice at the University.
Last year, representatives voted on the Underground expansion, changes to the Code of Student Rights and controversial cuts to community health
groups.
Running on the KUUnited ticket, student body president Libby Johnson and vice president Gabe Bliss won the April elections with a platform of attaining progress and feasibility on campus. Increasing sustainability and decreasing the general education requirements for graduation are key areas Johnson and Bliss campaigned for. Other KUUnited initiatives include introducing bike rentals for students, forming a graphic design club to provide free services to student clubs and organizations and making the Kansas Union more comfortable. Johnson and Bliss should make sure all initiatives they campaigned for are explored. Also, they should consult the senate and pull together three major initiatives to focus on. Creating key priorities will help clarify the senate's goals.
However, accomplishing many of these initiatives will be difficult if Student Senate can't improve internal communication, which has been shaky in the past few years.
In an interview with the Kansas editorial board, Johnson and Bliss focused on methods to ease exchange of information. By creating a system of communication, depending on solid officer reports and planning to hold each other accountable for
projects, we hope the senate will maximize its potential.
Another big issue is student representation.
Communication is something Student Senate cannot fix right away, but it needs to begin improving at tonight's full senate meeting. And communication should remain a high priority throughout the year.
"This really is a unique year" Johnson said. "There are lots of changes affecting student success. It's up to us whether students are involved in the changes."
We're glad that Johnson and Bliss are eyeing student representation. Students' tuition and
fees made up 20 percent of the University's revenues last year and students are essential to the success of the University. It's important to find active students to participate in advisory and administrative positions.
Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board
Tonight's senate meeting should focus on how Student Senate can be more representative and how it can better serve the student body by becoming more efficient through communication.

Dear Lazy students,stop complaining
MIKE MONTANO
mmontano@kansan.com
In preschool, your homework was to learn colors and not eat the Play-Doh. In grade school, your homework was mathematical problems and historical events. In high school, you got a taste of freedom by driving yourself to school, choosing which electives piqued your interest and which group of friends you hung out with on a Saturday night.
And then came college, which threw you into the real world of academia whether you were ready or not. From what I have noticed by looking around at my peers, is that some are not.
It continues to frustrate me that there's always a handful of students that don't do the assigned homework and act as if it were a complete surprise, when
the teachers have clearly assigned the homework and given out the syllabus. It's like the TLC television show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant," where women miss all the obvious signs of pregnancy - morning sickness, weird cravings and gaining weight only in your stomach region.
Let's be honest here, it's about not being an adult and expecting to be babysat. I don't like reading 75 pages for a class when I could be out on Massachusettes Street watching a game or catching up with friends, but I do the work because tuition is expensive. I don't want to take the class again and class is what is required of me right now in my life.
I was in a class just last week where we had to get into groups and answer questions based on our reading assignment. Then the teacher said we had to hand in
our work so it'd be in our best interest to group with someone that had done the work. It was unnerving to find out that the people around me had not done their reading.
I'm left wondering if my fellow classmates think that after graduation, in any line of work, that it will be okay to say, "Oh, I'm sorry. I just didn't have time to do my work." With today's unemployment rate and the ever-increasing tuition rate, it's more important than ever to be competitive and get the most out of your education. The unemployment rate for someone with a degree is half of what it is for someone without their degree. That should be reason enough to do your homework, get a degree and get a job.
For me, not having to stress over finals (forgive me for saying

COMMENTARY
JASON BENNETT
Expansion money was a waste
Jbennett@kansan.com
A recent Kansan editorial said that the nearly $500,000 Underground expansion was "money well spent." I have to disagree.
I have frequented the Underground during the past year, often during peak lunch hours. As other Kansan editorials have said in the past, I agree that it could be difficult to find an empty table. However, I've never had a problem finding an empty seat.
There are always plenty of places to sit in the Underground. The problem is we live in a culture where people don't want to risk sitting down next to someone they don't know and possibly having a conversation with a total stranger.
Just look around you the next time you're riding the bus home from class. Dozens of people are crammed in like sardines and no one is talking to each other. Instead, we put in headphones, blast music and pretend like the people next to
us don't exist.
Student Senate spent almost half a million dollars expanding the Underground, when all they really had to do was invest a few hundred dollars for some posters and start a campaign to encourage students to sit down and have lunch with other students they didn't yet know.
I also have to wonder why the project had to be funded by student fees. In a Kansan article from last September, the director of Dining Services said there are about 3,500 transactions each day in the Underground. Assuming the average transaction is around $5, collecting an additional 2 or 3 percent surcharge in the Underground would have allowed the entire project to be funded by people who actually eat there. The project would be paid off in about five years.
And for those concerned the added cost could make sales drop, perhaps that risk would have changed the mind of David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, who in the same article said he didn't see
investing money in the expansion as a "good business decision."
There was an opportunity for student leaders to change the culture at the University: to foster a sense of camaraderie, friendship and togetherness. Instead, they opted to spend lots of money unnecessarily to add an additional 139 seats so students could continue to avoid almost all human contact during lunch by having one person take up a four-person table.
For the current and future student senators out there — the next time a problem comes up, try to solve it without just throwing money at it. And for the rest of you, the next time you're at the Underground, be the student leaders that others have failed to become. Sit down next to someone you don't know and encourage your friends to do the same.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Regarding the Kansan's triumphalist article, which was nothing more than a bit of crypto-abortionist propaganda, I feel compelled to voice my opinion and that of thousands of fellow Jayhawks regarding the "sextival" (sub-Pythonian word play at best). Under the veneer of objective reporting was a direct endorsement of refunding Planned Parenthood, a group, lest it be forgot, founded by a paranoid racist eugenicist. The very presence of their representation on our beloved Jayhawk Boulevard turns my stomach. Depending on who you ask, the
daily tally of abortions varies between 3,000 and 3,600. These are human lives, not choices. Let it be noted that abortionists target, and have demonstrably decimated, birthrates among minorities and
the impoverished, a repugnant fact which would positively elate its founder, Margaret Sanger. Indeed, the whole abortion lobby has a decidedly anti-human, for profit and (de facto) racist agenda. Aside from outright infanticide, the psychological and emotional repercussions to post-abortion parents are well documented and summarily ignored by the avatars of abortion.
an act of creation. What really occurred was sexploitation (to borrow another unfortunate portmanteau). How best to use the person like a punching bag or a piece of cake was the real message. When did we forget that people are ends in themselves instead of to a means? Who could speak of the "Sextival" with pride to their parents? Who would feel affinity with another who had used a beloved family member as a sexual plaything? The whole sham of a "Sextival" is a puerile act of self-indulgence and degrading to human sexuality. Real responsibility lies in respect for our collective and individual humanity, not pornographic propaganda.

Slam poet shares works
She marks time with inflection. Her syllables sound like cymbals. Her femininity doesn't need a microphone. On the stage, she stands alone. Her instrument is tuned social commentary.
ssneath@kansan.com
She's a slam poet.
Last night at the Kansas Union, Gabriela Garcia-Medina performed for an audience of about 40. Among those in attendance was Max McFarland, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo.
"In my experience, slam pores physically appear more domineering." McFarland said. "So, when I saw a picture of this dainty lady I became interested. I'm hoping to see her stage presence juxtapose her physicality"
As Medina took the stage, McFarland sat with his backpack on. Two poems into her set, he slid his backpack off and moved to a seat closer to the stage.
Medina spoke about love, domestic violence and immigration. She said her parents emigrated from Cuba to London when she was a child. At age 11, she wrote her first poem, she said.
"I always wanted to be a per

former and I always liked to write," she said. "This kind of found me."
"I started off going to every open mic, every night of the week," Medina said. "When the list was full, I would beg. My ego was never too big to perform in front of two people."
Joshua Forman-Ortz is heeding Medina's advice. Last year, he founded Can You Speak, a spoken word club for Kansas students.
"We like to provide an outlet for those who are interested in slam poetry to show up when they like," said McFarland, vice president of Can You Speak.
The club is meeting at 4:30 p.m. today at Milton's Café in the Kansas Union.
Medina took time to support local writers last night by allowing four to take the stage. Afterward, she answered questions and provided words of encouragement.
"Be persistent," she said. "Where there's a will there is a way. Start a club or join a club."

Boy found well after large search
An 8-year-old boy with severe autism was found Tuesday after being lost and alone for more than 24 hours in the San Bernardino Mountains.
Joshua Robb appeared to be in good condition when search and rescue workers found him about a mile from the school he ran away from Monday, said Jodi Miller, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

"Joshua looked up at the team members and said, 'Thank you. You saved me,' Miller said.
about 2:27 p.m, he came out from behind some brush and walked toward team members.
The boy was found when, at
Joshua was given food and water by search and rescue workers until he could be transported by helicopter to Loma Linda Medical Center for a precautionary exam.
"As you can imagine, he is tired but appears to be OK," Miller said.
About 60 searchers from four counties, aided by dogs and helicopters, scoured the mountain area in the search for the boy, playing recorded music and his father's voice in hopes of luring him to safety.

Woman upset after removal from flight
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An Ohio woman said Tuesday that she endured nearly four hours in police custody that included being forced off an airplane in handcuffs, strip-searched and interrogated at Detroit's airport on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — all, she believes, because of her Middle Eastern appearance.
she said.
Hebshi said she didn't notice how many times the men went to the bathroom. "I wasn't keeping track,"
Shoshana Hebshi, 35, told The Associated Press she was one of three people removed from a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight after landing Sunday afternoon. Authorities say fighter jets escorted the plane its crew reported that two people were spending a long time in a bathroom — the two men sitting next to Hebshi in the 12th row.
"I really wasn't paying attention," said Hebshi, a freelance writer, editor and stay-at-home mother of twin six-year-old boys who lives in a suburb of Toledo, Ohio. "I was minding my own business — sleeping, reading, playing on my phone."
The FBI has said the three didn't know each other. One man felt ill and got up to use the restroom and another man in the same row also left his seat to go to the bathroom. The FBI said they never were inside together.
Hebshi has written extensively on her blog about the incident, saying she felt "violated, humiliated and sure that I was being taken from the plane simply because of my appearance."
Hebshi, who describes herself as half-Arabic, half-Jewish with a dark complexion, told the AP after they landed, she noticed police first surrounding, then storming the plane. She said she was surprised when they stopped at her row and ordered her and the men to get up.
Her Twitter posts from Sunday bear that out. At one point, she wrote: "A little concerned about this situation. Plane moved away from terminal surrounded by cops. Crew is mum. Passengers can't get up."
Later she wrote, "I see stairs coming our way,...jay!" Her last post said, "Majorly armed cops coming board."
It's then that she says the officers ordered her and the men, whom she described as Indian, to get up.
She said she was patted down and taken by car to a holding cell. A uniformed female officer eventually came in and told Hebshi to take off her clothes.
After the strip search, another officer who identified herself as a Homeland Security agent led Hebshi
to another room, Hebsi said. There, a man who identified himself as an FBI agent asked her a series of questions while a female agent took notes, Hebsi said.
Hebshi said that when she asked what was going on, the male agent told her someone on the plane reported that she and the men on her row were "conducting suspicious activity."
FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said the three passengers were questioned but not arrested before the FBI determined there was no reason to suspect or hold them. She also said FBI agents who questioned the passengers were not involved in any strip searches.
"We received a report of suspicious activity on that particular plane," Berchtold said. "We did not arrest ... these passengers. ... We didn't direct anybody to arrest them."

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland attempts a shot against Texas. Sutherland leads the team as the only senior this year.
mvernon@kansan.com
Kansas women's basketball senior forward Aishah Sutherland has always been alone. On a team comprised of five freshmen, three sophomores and three juntors, Sutherland is preparing to lead the team as the only senior.
"I have always been alone," Sutherland said. "I am used to it now."
Sutherland has impacted all the underclassmen, but has forged a special bond with sophomore forward Tania Jackson.
"I am gonna get teary-eyed." Jackson said. "She is like my big sister, I love that girl to death."
Though Sutherland was not named as a captain this season, she has an important leadership position. Assistant coach Tory Verdi works with Sutherland in the post and knows about her contributions to the team.
"She knows the expectations," Verdi said. "She could tell them before we start a drill what is going on."
Verdi said the staff preaches the importance of leadership for each player on the team.
"I lead by example and people will look up to me just because I have been in this program for so long." Sutherland said.
Whatever the issue may be, Jackson said she seeks out Sutherland.
"When you go to that person and you need someone to talk to, I go to Aishah," Jackson said.
Sutherland has accepted her role as the veteran and is focused on becoming a leader for the younger players on the team.
"I need to make sure that I don't do stuff that is not showing that I have matured in this program or that I don't know what to do," Sutherland said.
After starting in 22 of 34 games last year and all games the year before, Sutherland has become a staple on the court for the fayhawks.
"When she makes a move, it glows and everyone notices it," Jackson said. "The hard work she does is contagious."
That hard work is what makes Sutherland confident that this will be the year that Kansas makes it back to the NCAA Tournament after four straight appearances in the WNIT.
"We are going to make it to

Kevin Young is long way from home. The 6-foot-8, 215 pound forward grew up in Riverside, Calif., and began his collegiate career at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles before transferring to Kansas in
June. Leaving family and the West Coast wasn't easy at first, though.

was kind of tough." Young said. "But they understood it was a better opportunity for me."
One of those opportunities is working with a coach like Danny Manning, who has coached numerous NBA post men since becoming a full-time assistant in 2007.
"It's pretty fun," Young said of working with Manning. "We started individuals and it's a lot different than the past workouts I've had, but it's pretty good."
Young played two seasons at Loyola Marymount. He set freshman school records in 2008-2009 for blocked shots, steals and rebounds while averaging 7.2 points per game. He averaged more than 10 points per game his sophomore
year, and sat out last season to focus on academics. He attended Barstow Community College in Barstow, Calif., and earned his associate's degree before committing to play for the San Diego State Aztecs this season. Young then de-committed from the Aztecs and visited Kansas in June, committing to Bill Self and the Jayhawks shortly after. Young said he loved the coaching staff at Kansas.
"They're all great guys," he said.
"They have a lot of basketball knowledge so I can pick their brains."
Coaches aren't the only ones doling out advice to Young. The NBA lockout has brought many former players back to Lawrence to work out and spend time while the league and its players come to an agreement. The opportunity to work with those guys and gather information hasn't been lost on Young.
"It's cool to talk to them, to see what it's like from their perspective to get to the league and the obstacles they overcame," he said. "It's pretty cool because everyone has their own story."
He singled out the Morris twins, who were drafted 13th and 14th in June's NBA draft, as guys who have helped him the most on the court so far.
"Kevin doesn't exactly play the same position as the twins," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "But they talk a lot of trash, and Kevin is really competitive, so it's fun."
Students, is this what you NEED? We're here to help!
Taylor added that Young's work ethic and drive are top notch, and his defensive presence would "help the team tremendously" in 2011.
Taylor is ready for the season opener, but it's not just the first game he's looking forward to.

Royals beat Twins 4-0 in Kansas City
BASEBALL
Bruce Chen pitched eight crisp innings, Alex Gordon homered and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 4-0 on Tuesday night.
Chen (11-7) allowed two singles, struck out eight and walked one. He was 0-2 with a 7.94 ERA in his previous two starts.
Louis Coleman yielded a single to Joe Mauer while finishing the Royals' sixth shutout of the season.
Chen threw 82 of his season high 119 pitches for strikes.
Rookie Mike Moustakas also went deep for Kansas City, which finished with 12 hits. Gordon went 3 for 5 and drove in 'two runs.
Ben Revere and Danny Valencia had Minnesota's only hits off Chen, who improved to 2-4 with a 5.54 ERA in 16 career games against the Twins. Revere, who stole second after his leadoff single in the first, was the only Twins runner to reach second.
Gordon hit a leadoff drive off Carl Pavano in the third for his 22nd homer. He also singled in Salvador Perez in the fourth.
Moustakas, who led the minors last year with 36 home
runs, connected in the second for his second big league home run and first at Kauffman Stadium. Moustakas went 281 at-bats since his June 11 home run at Los Angeles.
Eric Hosmer, another one of Kansas City's prized prospects, drove in Melky Cabrera with a grounder in the third. Cabrera doubled and advanced to third left fielder Joe Benson's throwing error to set up the run.
The Twins, who have lost 18 of 22, dropped three games behind the Royals in the battle for last in the AL Central. The Twins have won the past two division titles, while the Royals have finished last the past two seasons.
Pavano (8-12), who won his first two September starts, allowed four runs, three earned, and 11 hits in seven innings. That pushed his innings total to 200, the second straight year he has reached that mark.
The Twins have hit .149 and scored seven runs while losing the first four games on their road trip.

Tim Wakefield earned his 200th win on his eight try, Dustin Pedroia hit his homers in Boston's highest-scoring game of the season and the Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak with an 18-6 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Wakefield wins No.200
The crowd at Fenway Park clapped and chanted "Wakefield! Wakefield!" as Junichi Tazawa pitched the ninth for Boston, which moved four games in front of the Rays. Tampa Bay lost 4-2 at Baltimore.
The Red Sox added to their cushion with four runs in the sixth on a double by Carl Crawford, an RBI single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia, a single by Jacoby Elsbury and a three-run homer by Pedroia, his 20th of the year.
The Red Sox needed the victory badly after their AL wild-card lead over Tampa Bay had dropped from nine games to three over the previous nine days. And the 45-year-old knuckleballer was eager to end the long wait — 0-3 in seven outings since his last win July 24 — to become the 108th pitcher with 200 wins.
Pedroia went 4 for 5 with two homers, two doubles and a sacrifice fly after going 3 for 31 on the road trip that ended Sunday with Boston losing six of seven games. Ellsbury also had four hits and Crawford had three as Boston finished with 18.
Wakefield (7-6) went six innings and overcame a shaky outing to retire his final six batters. He left with a 6-5 lead after allowing six hits and two walks. He struck out two.
Pedroia, who tied his career high with five RIBs, also was on the tail end of consecutive homers with Ellsbury in the fourth.
Wakefield gave the runs right back in the third when the Blue Jays took a 5-4 lead as Eric Thames led off with a single and Jose Bautista hit his major league high-42nd home.
Crawford led off the sixth with a double and took third on Marco Scutatar's sacrifice. Luis Perez allowed hits to the only four batters he faced, starting with Saltalamacchias single that made it 7-5.
Alfredo Aceves relieved Wakefield in the seventh and worked two scoreless innings. Tazawa, just recalled from the minors, finished up.
Then the Red Sox went ahead to stay 6-5 on the back-to-back homers by Ellsbury, his 27th, and Pedroia.
Toronto went ahead 3-2 in the second on J.P. Arencibia's 23rd homer, a three-run shot. But the Red Sox made it 4-3 in the bottom of the inning on an RBI double by Ellsbury and Pedroia's sacrifice飞.
Boston took a 2-0 lead on unearned runs in the first when Pedroia doubled. Adrian Gonzalez walked, Kevin Youkilis was hit by a pitch and Josh Reddick was safe on a two-base throwing error by first baseman David Cooper.
Brandon Morrow (9-11) left after
Wakefield's previous start also was against the Blue Jays and he left that with an 8-5 lead last Wednesday. But the bullpen failed and Toronto came back for an 11-10 win, forcing Wakefield to keep waiting for that elusive 200th win.
But on Tuesday, the Red Sox kept adding to their lead with four runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and seven in the eighth. Salalamacchia's three-run double highlighted Boston's final inning at the plate.

Even as a freshman, Hawkins always played, he just never grabbed a permanent starting spot. Hawkins had speed, tremendous leaping ability and a strong 3-point shot. In a game against Baylor in his junior year, he hit all five threes he took.
After graduating with a communications degree, Hawkins was looking for a way to stay close to basketball. He started as an assistant coach at Ellis High School, and is now the head coach at Perry Lecompton High School.

Kellogg, or "Special K" was a fixture on the bench under Ted Owens. Then Larry Brown came to town and brought Kellogg to life. Brown teamed him with Danny Manning in the 1984-1985 season, and Kellogg led the team with 17.6 points per game.
During that season, he scored 30 points against Wichita State, 31 against Colorado, 39 against Nebraska, 34 against Memphis State and 34 against Oklahoma in consecutive Saturdays.
After he led Kansas to an 82-76 upset over Oklahoma, Sports Illustrated put him on its front with the words "Kellogg Went Snap! Crackle! Pop!"

All-Americans Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce were in the same lineup, but Robertson was the one with the most minutes played in the 1997-1998 season.
His 485 assists are 10th in school history, he rarely turned the ball over, he played steady and dependable defense, he shot 80 percent from the free throw line and he was always one of the best students on the team.
The first time Robertson met coach Roy Williams, he thought: "He was awfully tan."
Billy Thomas AT KANSAS YEARS: 1995-1998
Hometown:
Shreveport, La.
Position: Guard

"My most memorable basketball moment was when my mother, friends and family were in attendance when I became the all-time three-point scorer in KU history," he said. "Having them on hand for that moment was very special to me."
Thomas was nothing but a winner during his time in Lawrence. He was a part of four conference championships and he never lost a game in Allen Fieldhouse. He is one of the greatest three-point shooters in school history.
After a few unsuccessful seasons in the NBA, Thomas has worked as an assistant at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park. He also teaches private lessons at his own Billy Thomas Hoops Academy.

THE MORNING BREW
Kansas football season looks promising
Well, Sports Illustrated had to eat crow quicker than
expected.
Sports Illustrated predicted a 1-11 record this season, but the Jayhawks have already exceeded the sports magazine's lowly expectations by improving their record to 2-0 after defeating the Northern Illinois Huskies. Turner Gill's squad is playing with a determination and swagger that was absent last season. More importantly, what Gill vowed to do when he took the job – recruit speed – already appears to be paying off in spades.
D. J. Beshears has used his hands and burning speed to
By Max Lush mlush@kansan.com
help lead the Jayhawks to victory, delivering not only the game-winning catch in the final seconds, but also setting up the game-winning drive with a 51-yard kickoff return. Beshears had seven catches for 70 yards, both career highs and ran wild in the return game. Beshears accumulated 197 yards on six returns, six yards shy of the school record.
Running back James Sims produced another 100-plus yard game, finishing with 117 yards
on 26 carries and two touchdowns. But Sims was not the only player to flash his speed. Seven Kansas players amassed rushing yards, but quarterback Jordan Webb was the only player to record an average yards-per-carry less than four.
Perhaps the most encouraging sign for Jayhawk fans is the maturation of Webb. He is completing 70 percent of his passes on 10.68 yards-per-pass. His six touchdowns are only one less than his entire output from last season, and he has yet to turn the ball over.
With Gill and company putting an emphasis on recruiting speed, fans can already see the
foundation of what could be a bright future for the program. Players such as freshmen Tony Pierson and Darrian Miller are blowing past defenders. Recruits recognize schools who are not only recruiting speedsters, but also playing them right away, which entices them.
Gill and his staff are making their mark on the recruiting trail. Fans should expect more speed and strength on the defensive side of the ball as well. With speed on defense, Kansas could contend for years to come.
I'm not saying that the improvements will add up to wins, but this weekend's game against Georgia Tech now looks win-
able. Kansas State looked extremely beatable in its opener, Missouri and Texas Tech have not been impressive, and Iowa State has looked competitive, but not anymore so than Kansas. If the Jayhawks beat those four foes, they're bowl eligible.
I'm not saying it's likely, but it sure looks more likely than it did at this time last season.
The blueprint is there and it starts with Gill's ability to recruit speed. Maybe that bright future promised by Gill will come faster.

COMMENTARY
Legends kind of a big deal
By Mike Vernon
To hear the public address announcer boast the words, "From Inglewood, California, number 34 Paul Pierce!" one more time, is a very big deal.
In case you didn't already realize this, the Legends of the Phog game is a big deal. Like a very big deal.
Like a once in a lifetime, big deal.
I barely remember the days when the number 34 stretched across the chest of Paul Pierce's Kansas jersey. I don't remember Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson patting Pierce'rearend as he trotted down James Naismith court with his bands raised in the air.
I never got to see Paul Pierce play in Allen Fieldhouse, and in all likelihood, you didn't either. Actually, aside from the Morris Twins and Josh Selby, haven't seen any of the other 19 players currently listed as participants play.
I was born 10 years after Darnell Valentine, a three time All American played his last game for the Kansas. Yes, I have heard stories about who Valentine is and have seen stats and bits of video, but the opportunity to see him play with the letters K-A-N-S-A-S stitched into his jersey — that's a big deal.
Sure, I've seen and heard Scot Pollard's entertaining antics. I've seen his wild hair and sideburns entertain NBA fans when he was still in the league. I've even seen him dressed in a suit at Allen Fieldhouse. But my memory begins to trickle in just as Pollard put on his Pistons hat in the 1997 NBA Draft.
THE KANSAN FEATURES A LINE-UP OF LEGENDS Six former players are profiled as part of a series for the upcoming Legends of the Phog game PAGE 10
A name nearly every student at Kansas knows, Wayne Simien, is a name that Bill Self once called the best he's ever coached. His jersey is the most recent to be lifted into the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse, and to see him play in it once again is a big deal.
I vaguely remember watching Ryan Robertson and Nick Bradford on television in their time at Kansas. I attended, and barely remember, the game in New Orleans in which Robertson scored 31 points in a second round NCAA tournament loss to Kentucky.
Speaking of the three-point shot, Billy Thomas once held the Kansas basketball record for career three-pointers made with 269. He was, apparently, my favorite player at the time. Do I remember ber him, though? No. But I know who he is, and the opportunity to see an apparent childhood favorite of mine is a big deal.
The Big O — Greg Ostertag — is certainly a legendary name. I've heard stories about his false teeth and remember his days as a backup center in the NBA. Seeing the Big O roar the paint in the Phog, that's a big deal.
Ron Kellogg, alongside Danny Manning, went to the final four in 1986. I know Kellogg is known for his long-range sharp shot, before the days the three-point line existed. To see Kellogg potentially hit a three at Allen Fieldhouse — yeah, that's a big deal.
Nick Collison, Jeff Graves and Jeff Hawkins are all names that I can clearly remember. Cole Aldrich, Darrell Arthur, Xavier Henry, Mario Chalmers, Darnell Jackson, Brandon Rush and Julian Wright are names that most students at Kansas have heard at one time.
And that is what makes this a once in a lifetime event. We students have the opportunity to witness multiple generations of layhawks playing together, on James Naismith Court, for the first time — ever.

Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.

A UNIQUE OFFENSE
MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN
TRYING TO
HOLD ON
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson brings down Harold Turnage of McNeese State Sept. 3. Johnson and the rest of the Jayhawks have prepared for Georgia Tech's dizzying offense without a football on the practice field
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
As the Kansas Jayhawks prepare to take on a unique spread option offense run by Georgia Tech, they'll be doing something unique themselves — practicing without a football.
The Georgia Tech offense is a triple option attack, in which they can run the ball up the middle, run an option, pitch it outside, or pass the ball. They often put a player in motion before the snap, giving the Yellow Jackets another player to give the ball to before the snap.
In other words, it's very hard for the opposing defense to know where the ball is going.
Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy and the Jayhawks' defensive line have been preparing for the often confusing Georgia Tech offense by going back to the basics. They had the Kansas scout team simulate the Yellow Jackets offense without a football.
"It really allows each person to do their job," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "When there's no ball, you're like okay, this person has the dive, this person has the pitch, this person has the quarterback. It just helps
people to understand where you fit when they run certain plays. It really makes you assignment sound."
The Yellow Jackets love to hide the ball and keep the defense guessing where the run is going until the last second. If the Jayhawks get caught up in keeping their eyes where the ball goes, they'll be tricked and end up looking the wrong way and it'll be too late.
"We've got to make sure that we harp on them this week that their eyes have to be really good," said defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt. "A lot of times we don't even use a
football in a lot of our drills. Guys won't have to worry about who has the football. You do things like that to make them train their eyes and not look for the football."
overwhelming the ball, giving the coaches a better idea of how their defense is performing.
Running an unorthodox offense often makes it tough for the scout team to play with their normal speed, due to a lack of comfort within the offense. Shealy said that because of this, the defense can often overwhelm the offense in numbers, which can often give a defense a false sense of confidence.
When the ball is taken away, Shealy said the defense has to stay horizontally assigned instead of
While the Jayhawks won't be defending against a football-less offense all week, for now, that's the plan as they prepare for an offense that is anything but ordinary.
"We've worked on it for a day back in mid-August, about 45 minutes on the option and we worked 30 minutes Sunday, and we have yet to put a ball in the drill yet," said Shealy.

The men's golf team competed in the Mark Simpson Invitational at the Colorado National Golf Club in Erie, Colo. on Monday and Tuesday. After the first two rounds of play, Greenwood Village, Colo. junior Alex Gutesha was tied for 15th overall after he shot a 69, one under par. He finished out his round with a consecutive birdie and eagle.
As a team, the jayhawks finished the first round ranked ninth out of 15 teams with a two-round collective score of 589 strokes. Host Colorado finished with a team total of 560 strokes

BOLD ASPIRATIONS
Chancellor Gray-Little speaks to faculty and staff about the strategic plan Bold Aspirations. "We want to raise our stature nationally and internationally, as these aspirations will help us to fund our investments in the future," Gray-Little said. The event took place in the Bruckmiller Room of the Adams Alumni Center Wednesday afternoon.
Bold Aspirations. That's what the Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little calls the new six-part strategic message, which aims to spur excellence at the University. The plan contains several aspects that will directly affect future students.
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
One part of the plan includes cutting course requirements for undergraduates.
"We wanted to streamline the
KELLY
number of general education requirements so that students have more flexibility," Gray-Little said after unveiling the plan on Wednesday.
Vitter
The Chancellor said it has been more than 20 years since the University has revised its undergraduate requirements.
Specific details about the strategy's initiatives had not been released as of Wednesday. Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs, said the public can expect to see the full plan within the next few days.
"It would make taking a double major, for example, much easier," Gray-Little said.
Provost and executive vice chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said the curriculum cut will help students take advantage of opportunities like study abroad, research and service learning. He said an immediate effect students will see is a significant improvement to advising.
"Students will seamlessly move from their initial year or two into their major and then on to graduation," Vitter said.
Gray-Little said students can
expect the changes in core requirements to take effect in 2013.
The plan also highlights an increase in the University's community involvement. Gray-Little said the school should not only provide services to the community through research but also through more specific and concrete interactions.
"We want to make sure there is a connection between what is being learned in class and what is being done in the community so that experience informs classroom work, and classroom work informs experience," Gray-Little said.
Student Body President Libby Johnson is optimistic about where the University is headed and the improvements students will see.

Assistant treasurer suddenly resigns
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH jblakeborough@kansan.con
To the surprise of senators, student body assistant treasurer Courtney Sheldon resigned her elected position at the first full-senate meeting of the academic year.
Sheldon notified Student Executive officers of her resignation decision Sept. 13. When addressing full senate, Sheldon cited reasons of time management and previous commitments.
"I realize that I cannot devote the time my position deserves and while it has not been an easy decision, I think that it will be best for both myself and Senate in the long run," Sheldon said.
Student body president Libby Johnson says that resignations at this time are highly irregular for positions of such magnitude.
"The treasurer and assistant treasurer positions are unique in that these staff members have to handle a $20 million budget for what is essentially a 30,000 person organization," Johnson said.
Treasurer David Cohen, who worked closest with Sheldon throughout the summer months in student executive training sessions, and essentially serves as a mentor to the assistant treasurer position, expressed his frustration with the
sudden loss of a great resource and asked for support in the upcoming months.
"Yes, it's a really shiny situation we find ourselves in, but please have patience with my office as we make up for lost time as we train another assistant." Cohen said.
In an effort to fill the position as soon as possible, Cohen announced that the job application will be posted on the jobs.ku.edu website until 2 p.m. Sept. 16. Candidates will be interviewed Saturday and Sunday. Cohen says his goal is to fill the position by Sunday night.
"Typically the assistant treasurer moves into the treasurer position because it takes a while to build up the necessary skills and knowledge the position requires;" Johnson said.
The assistant treasurer position is a two year time commitment and an up to 23 hour week work schedule.
"Fortunately its only September so we have time to adapt and react." Johnson said. "Everyone is taking it all in stride, which is part of what makes them such a great staff."
Because of special circumstances the appointment will go into effect before approval by full senate.

ENVIRONMENT
Keeping campus clean and green
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
At least once a week, the University of Kansas's Environmental Stewardship Program picks up recyclables from every building on campus, which amounts to nearly 1,000 bins. The 24 students employed by the program collect, sort, and bail the materials. This results in 42,000 pounds of recyclables sent out every two weeks. That is nearly one and a half pounds of material per student.
The program has been managing recycling and redistributing furniture on campus as part of the greater campus sustainability initiative, outlined by Chancellor Gray-Little last fall.
"The program was started because we were putting so much stuff into the waste stream," said Aileen Dingus, program coordinator. "When you think about it, we send out 20 tons that can be reused instead of just taking up space in a hole in the ground."
Erik Crawford, a senior from Wichita, has worked as a recycling technician for the past two years. His duties include on-campus collecting from every building and sorting the material in the Facilities and Operations warehouses on West Campus.
"It's rewarding in the sense that you go home at the end of the day with the sense you've done a small part in making your community a better place." Crawford said.
However, some students are not aware of the program, resulting in many recyclables being thrown away. A recent waste audit on Jayhawk Boulevard found as much recycling material in trash bins as there was in recycling bins.
The bulk of the recyclables that the program receives and redistributes consists of paper products, but it also collects cardboard, aluminum and steel cans, plastics, printer cartridges, steel, furniture
"A problem is that students don't know we're here and don't know all the services we provide," Crawford said.

CIUDAD DEL CARMEN, MEXICO
A small, flat fiberglass raft was all 10 oil workers had to escape the leveling winds and towering waves of Tropical Storm Nate as it pounded their disabled rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
Three workers for Houston-based Geokinetics, Inc., three contractors and four Americans who made up the lifboat crew took to the rough seas in a flat, rectangular raft with an inflated perimeter, some tethered and half-submerged, grabbing onto side handles because all 10 wouldn't fit on board.
Rescue crews found the raft on Sunday still carrying four men. Three more survivors were found bobbing in life jackets less than a mile (a kilometer) away after being separated from the raft the day before.
LUANDA, ANGOLA
An Angolan air force plane crashed as it took off from a central base Wednesday, killing 30 people including three generals, state media reported.
Six people survived the fiery crash in Huambo province, and investigators were still trying to determine the cause. The names of the dead and further details about the incident were not immediately available.
Poverty, war, extreme weather and corruption have long plagued air safety in many African countries. Angola, a southwest African country, has a poor record in air safety, largely due to poor maintenance.
The oil- and diamond-rich country is still recovering from a two-decade civil war that ended in 2002.
BEIJING. CHINA
A Chinese dissident writer who spent five years in jail said Wednesday he was wrongly imprisoned and subjected to ill-treatment "beyond people's imagination."
"I am innocent," said Yang. "It's a political case and I was called a political prisoner in the places where I was detained. All of this is political persecution of me because I promoted democracy."
Arrested in September 2006 and sentenced in November 2007, Yang was released from prison Tuesday.
China's Communist leadership doesn't tolerate any perceived challenge to one-party rule. Critics are often jailed on vague charges of subversion and endangering state security or, sometimes, for alleged economic crimes.
CANBERRA. AUSTRALIA
An Australian senator came under fire Wednesday for using his special immunity from prosecution to name a Roman Catholic priest accused of raping a fellow priest more than 40 years ago.
Xenophon cannot be sued for anything he says in the Senate and the Australian media cannot be held liable for reporting any false accusation that he might make.
Nick Xenophon, an independent senator, had presented the church with an ultimatum: remove the priest from his duties or his name would be made public within 24 hours.
On Tuesday night, Xenophon made good on his threat and told the Senate the priest's identity and said he was being investigated by the church over an alleged rape in the 1960s.

Group uses graphic images to spread abortion awareness
Justice for All, a group that seeks to raise awareness about abortion, continued its display of graphic images on the lawn of Stauffer-Flint hall Wednesday.
"Being able to talk to students is much easier when they have seen what abortion actually is. It's no longer out of sight, out of mind," said Rebecca Haschke, an intern with Justice for All. "And it actually creates a lot of dialogue on a college campus."
Freedom of speech boards and booths asking for student thoughts were also by Stauffer-Flint and Wescoe to encourage discussion. Though the display might
provoke discussion, Sheila Sadeghi, a senior from Boston, said she wasn't sure it would cause her to change her beliefs about abortion.
"I know how I feel, they know how they feel, I really don't think it is a way to change minds or bring people together," Sadeghi said. "The fact that it's a highly controversial issue, it completely segments this entire campus into people who care, people who are for, people who are against, people who just do not care whatsoever."
The display lasted until 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday.

Allergy season will be worse because of high pollen counts
Some new numbers may keep you sneezing and sniffling this fall. According to a study done by the National Academy of Sciences, students should expect worse allergies than usual.
The study said people will be exposed to allergens for a longer period this season. In Lawrence Tuesday, the pollen count went up to 9 on a scale of 0 to 12 with 12 being the highest.
things continue to flower and the pollen continues to release, wind blows it around, the people with seasonal allergies are going to have problems," Volek said. "Keeping your doors and windows shut and your air conditioning on is your best protection."
Melody Volek, a nurse at Watkins Health Center, said students can take some precautions to fight off allergies.
However, campus may see a drop in the pollen count soon. According to Pollen.com, Lawrence's pollen count will drop back down to a medium 7.1 by Friday.
Students can call the new Watkins Nurse Helpline at (785) 864-9583 for 24-hour help.

Johnson said that currently the strategic plan is broad, and as committees begin to narrow their goals, it is important that they consider all the consequences of their decisions. She also said the University's recently implemented four-year renewable scholarships are a part of the overall strategy.
Another goal of the strategy is to broaden research through interdisciplinary studies.

Perry Alexander, professor of computer sciences and electrical engineering and co-chairman of the fourth inititive, used green energy to explain interdisciplinary research.
Leonard Kristalka, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the future of solving many of the world's issues lies in interdisciplinary research and communication.

He says that integration across different research will particularly benefit students through heightened communication across disciplines and with faculty.

Fashion show adds designs by students

KU Fashion Week will host a fashion show at the Granada tonight, showcasing looks for men and women from Lawrence boutiques and retailers on Massachusetts Street. Weavers, Britches, Fortuity, and Acme as well as clothing designed by last year's KU Project Runway winner, Zeke Westerman, and finalist Ashley Estrada, will all be present.
Porschae Oglesby, a freshman from Topeka, models a design. She will model in the fashion show tonight.
For Estrada, a junior from Topeka, showcasing her design, a strapless navy dress with a sweet-heart neckline based on one she saw Taylor Swift wearing, will be the next step in her fashion career.
"I taught myself how to sew in seventh grade and ever since then it's just kind of evolved into me making actual outfits." Estrada said.
Involving local designers was the goal of the show's producer, Camilo Ernesto, who created the website by the same name that aims to bring together local fashion aficionados. Ernesto said kufashionweek.com is an online initiative to highlight style and fashion in Lawrence and on campus.
"My goal was to reach out to people that are aspiring models, but also the general public and people that just enjoy styling and fashion, so its really an opportunity for everyone to participate," Ernesto said.
Porschae Oglesby, a freshman from Topeka, said she got involved in the show to jump start her modeling career.
"Modeling has always been a passion of mine." Oglesby said. "I just never knew how to get started."
Even though it is her first time modeling, she has no apprehensions about walking down the
runway.
"I go out shopping with my friends all the time," she said. "Whenever we look at clothes we always try them on and we strut around just like on a runway. When I'm up there I'll just imagine being with my friends in the store being silly like we do."

Chloe Ireland, a freshman from Lenexa, takes up her bingo card to claim her prize at recipe bingo Wednesday night in Ellsworth Hall. "Recipe bingo is a spin-off from grocery bingo and we had a huge turnout last time and had a good turnout this time too," said Emily Poppe, a SUA committee member.
Biweekly, more than 1,200 plastic bottles are crushed into a block and sent to reprocessing plant in Topeka. At the end of each semester, the program crushes 100,000 cans into a 3,000-pound bale of aluminum.
RECYCLING FROM 1
The surplus side of the program works to collect and distribute unused furniture, often left behind by moving professors.
"If we can't find a place for it on campus, we donate it off campus to non profit organizations," Dingus said. "If you stacked the 12,000 redistributed items like desks, tables, chairs, file cabinets, onto a basketball court, it would pile three stories deep."
"Recycling and surplus is a very visible way to see the University doing something for sustainability." Dingus said.
The program gives campus sustainability a more noticeable presence on campus.
and other items.
Student Senate is a major source of funding for the program. "I like working with students," Dingus said. "I think it's neat that the student body as a whole cares enough to pay for it."
But ultimately, students themselves have to decide to recycle their waste instead of just throwing it away.
Students knowing what is and is not recyclable helps the program's sorting effort, which can get rather dirty at times, according to Crawford.

further the community and the world."
"The drawbacks are having to deal with incredibly, unimaginably disgusting things," Crawford said. He said he has encountered unrecyclable items such as human fluids, used condoms and tampons, chewing tobacco and rotten food.
Crawford would like to see fellow students be more cognizant of the recycling bins on campus. Blue bins are usually located inside buildings on campus. People who live off-campus can drop off their recycling at the west parking lot at Park and Ride on 23rd Street and Crestline Drive.

WICHITA - Students studying medicine now have the option to study in Wichita, Salina or Kansas City, Kan., for four years.
The KU School of Medicine Wichita expanded from a two-year clinical program to a full four-year medical program, and the new Salina campus started classes this semester.
Previously, students would study their first two years in Kansas City, Kan., and then had the option to transfer to Wichita for hands-on training during their final two years. Now students can study their first two years in Wichita or Salina.
The addition of the new programs is an effort by the medical school to promote rural medicine in Kansas. This endeavor is recognized nationally as a proactive way to bring full-time physicians to small communities. By allowing students to study medicine in rural areas, medical students see the need for doctors outside big cities.
Although the Salina and Wichita campuses have only eight students each in their programs this year, Dr. Cathcart-Rake, director of the Salina campus, said the education is not subpar. Lectures are given at the Kansas City, Kan., campus and transmitted to Salina and Wichita via video conferencing. Students watching the lecture on TV can interact with the professors.
"There are learning objective outlines that are disseminated
Stephanie Shields, a first year medical student at the Wichita campus, said the video conference system for lectures doesn't feel very different from being in the classroom with the professor.
Although this is the first time the Wichita campus offers a full medical school program, it has offered clinical training for third and fourth year students for the last 35 years. Expanding to a four-year program was logical, said H. David Wilson, dean of KU School of Medicine-Wichita.
among the campuses, and the reading materials and preparation are presented to all the students." Cathcart-Rake said. "The basic learning objectives will stay the same."
Another incentive that promotes the practice of rural medicine is the Kansas Medical Student loan. This state-funded program pays for a medical student's tuition and provides a stipend for living if he or she promises to return to Kansas and practice in an under-served area. This year, five of the eight Salina students took advantage of this loan.
"This is the ideal place to expand the medical school since we're more centrally located in the state of Kansas," Wilson said. "We have a lot of outreach to rural

"Our major focus obviously is training excellent physicians," Cathcart-Rake. "But our secondary mission is encouraging those trainees to look at practicing in rural areas."
Cathcart-Rake said the education and opportunities offered in both Wichita and Salina prepare medical students for wherever they end up practicing.
Wilson is working on a new curriculum called patient-centered learning for his campus that will provide students with more hands on experience in the coming years. Starting their first year, medical students will work with actual patients to apply the theories they learn about in the classroom.

Venus enters Libra for the next
225 days. In general, love, beauty
and art will flower. Simple appreciation of quality satisfies.

The finer things in life call to you,
but you should resist spending
impulsively. Create a plan to
attain your desire permanently.
You've got the power.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)

You may want to talk about beauty and romance, but consider your words carefully. Be respectful as you stand up for a passionate cause. Make a strategic plan.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Words of justice stir you to action. Some chaos at work and on the roads makes staying close to home a good idea. Share a meal with someone interesting.
There's a test or a challenge ahead. Try doing something you've never done before, if the answer's not obvious. Don't try to pay everyone's way. They want to contribute.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
You're very attractive now (in spite of yourself). Focus on a passion. You appreciate loveliness. Write some poetry, especially if you don't know how.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 9
Use creative energy to make your home work for you. Small changes in decoration go a long way for your self-esteem. A new low-energy light bulb saves money, which adds up quickly.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
Focus on fine-tuning your place for the next couple of days. Make sure your nest is in order and that you're comfortable with where everything is. This provides peace.
Get in communication with the people that need to hear from you (you know who they are). They'll be glad, and you benefit from the conversation. It lightens your spirit.

Women, minorities directing few shows
A survey conducted by the Directors Guild of America of more than 2,600 television episodes from 170 scripted TV series for the 2010-11 season found that white males directed 77 percent of all episodes, and white females directed 11 percent of all episodes. Minority males directed 11 percent all episodes and minority females directed just 1 percent of the shows, according to the survey of programs from the major broadcast and cable networks.
Further evidence has emerged that Hollywood has made little progress in hiring women and minorities to work on prime-time television shows.
"We are encouraging shows, production companies and networks, when they weigh in, to offer opportunities to up-and-coming directors from all backgrounds," said Lesli Linka Glatter, co-chair of the DGA diversity task force and co-executive producer of "The Playboy Club."
So we're going to take the discussion straight to the people on each show who make hiring decisions," added Barclay, an executive producer for the FX show "Sons of Anarchy."
The DGA negotiated a new provision in its most recent contracts, which took effect July 1, that allows union officials to meet directly with executives responsible for hiring at the individual show level.
McClatchy Tribune
The DGA's findings echo those of other recent surveys, including a recent report from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University. The report found during the 2010 season women composed 15 percent of writers for prime-time dramas, comedies and reality shows on the broadcast networks, down 29 percent from the 2009-2010 season.

Of all the personalities to turn up at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, none seemed more outsized, and yet oddly appropriate, than Madonna.
David Carpenter
"I directed "Fifth & Wisdom" to teach myself about filmmaking."
Madonna transitions role in movie world
The singer and actress is looking to make her mark on the directing world. And Toronto, host to 300 films and a dizzying array of international celebrities, seems the perfect venue for one of the most famous women in the world to take up a new career. So into town she rode with "W.E." a time-jumping historical romance that made its North American premiere at the festival, ahead of its opening for general U.S. audiences on Dec. 9.
Sitting primly (in fishnet stockings) in a hotel suite high above Toronto earlier this week, the 53-year-old made no secret of her latest ambition." I want to be taken seriously as a filmmaker," she said.
In a series of flashbacks and shared-screen fantasy moments with Wally, Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) reveals that any happiness she felt with the duke was gilded at best. The pressure for their relationship to essentially
"When we were young, my sister and I would sit around and say we wanted to marry a cowboy poet. That was the ideal," she said. "And as soon as you have an ideal, the universe conspires to humiliate you. Like you might get that cowboy poet, but they're a raving lunatic."
she added, alluding to her lightly regarded immigrant tale of music and cross-dressing that was released in 2008. "And now, with this self-punishing process of being a producer and a writer and a director, I'm taking the next step."
"W.E" cross-cuts the 1998 story of Wally (Abbie Cornish), an unhappily married young woman in New York who becomes increasingly obsessed with early-20th century Baltimore socialite Wallis Simpson. A playful firecracker, Simpson fell in love with — and ultimately married — the Duke of Windsor, a king-in-waiting, in a scandal that rocked England and caused the Duke to abdicate the throne (Eve Best played Wallis in "The King's Speech," Guy Pearce, the duke).
take the place of the monarchy proved, in the end, too much for Simpson to bear.
The film's central theme, however, is arguably not love but fame. Specifically, it's the gap between Wallis Simpson as perceived by the outside world and Wallis Simpson as her life was really lived — the illicit Buckingham Palace romance, in other words, as TMZ indictment.

EDITORIAL
It was 10 years ago, after the 2000 Census data was released, when a Republican-influenced Kansas Legislature decided that Douglas County, easily one of the most Democratic counties in Kansas, would be divided into two congressional districts. Democrats claim that the division was done to decrease the number of democratic voters in the once-whole third district.
Disregarding the politics involved in this decision, it's obvious Lawrence should fall under one district, and I hope that decision will be reached.
It's that time of the decade where the state legislature must outline new district boundaries for itself, the state board of education and Congress. This time around, there is an even stronger GOP presence in the redistricting process that may decide to keep Lawrence divided.
Another big problem is that the state injudiciously neglects Kansas students by not counting them in the redistricting of the state.
Gaughan also said he believes the current district standing to be unfair to Lawrence and Douglas County, as well as Manhattan, Hays, Emporia and
"Kansas is the only state in the country that recalculates like this," Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan said, "and the legislature is the only body in the state that uses the data to redistrict. So it has every appearance of a rule used to diminish the voice of certain communities."
Pittsburg, and that it's time for the Kansas Legislature to use the census for redistricting, like every other elected body in Kansas and every other state.
It begs the questions: Will the districts rightfully be consolidated ed as one or get sliced another way? And will the legislature rightfully consider the student population in the redistricting process?
At the legislature's special committee on redistricting's public hearing on Sept. 2 at the University, both democrats and republicans alike agreed that it made more sense to combine the split districts in Douglas County.
Currently, the western portion of the county is in the second house district and the
eastern portion is in the third district. These lines are consistently revised to account for changes in the population so that all elected officials represent a comparable number of people.
Students are an integral part of the Lawrence community and no matter what, as residents, we still benefit from city services regardless of our hometowns. Also, legislators tend to forget that many students register to vote for the first time in Lawrence.
So, we matter.
Paul Davis, the house minority leader, couldn't agree more.
"As citizens of the community, [students] have access to all of our public services," he said. "Local state legislators are also
here to serve them. It just makes sense to count them here."
The committee will have several more public hearings before the legislature reaches its decision in the 2012 session that begins in January. Students should contact legislators from across the state and ask for their support on giving communities populated with students a fair representation in the legislature.
Students in the Board of Regents' universities and colleges are members of Kansas education. Denying them representation by ignoring them or diminishing their vote by splitting it is a denial of their basic rights.

GUEST COLUMN
Get involved the right way
By Bert Brogden editor@kansan.com
For a lot of college students, especially incoming freshmen, getting involved is the name of the game.
At a very early stage of the collegiate career, often before a student has ever set foot on campus, their parents, friends, and counselors are persistent about the importance of extra-curricular clubs and activities. Surely, they are justified to an extent — four years spent meeting people and having real-world experiences are more constructive to a graduating senior, both personally and professionally, than four years spent immersed in pensive introspection or online role-playing games.
However, for a generation as overachieving and self-stressing as ours, getting involved can quickly escape from the realm of fun and networking and become a tiresome chore. As soon as students begin the orientation process, they are exposed to a myriad of clubs, organizations, sports and interest groups in which they can participate during their time at the University of Kansas. The error occurs when students, overly eager to meet new people because of their excessive fear of loneliness, decide to get involved in any and every way that they can. It is absolutely not unheard of for new students to juggle a combination of classes, three or four student organizations, a fraternity or sorority and an intramural sporting team all in their first semester.
While there may be the occasional super-human student who can handle such a workload, the majority of new students are going to find it hard to balance their time equally, while leaving ample space for both leisure and study. You might think that you're doing it right because your schedule is full from the early morning class to the late-night party, but really you're just tired — and probably sweaty, irritable, and stressed.
It is impossible to fully commit to any worthy cause or organization when you are attempting to divide your time evenly over a multitude of other commitments. During an address to a handful of freshmen students at a Hawk Week seminar, Neely Bendapudi, dean of the School of Business, stressed the importance of time prioritization.
The logic behind Bendapudi's
"Select one or two extra-curricular activities in which you really want to be involved," Bendapudi said. "Try new things, but don't spread yourself too thin."
assertion is wholly legitimate. Instead of doing anything and everything you see on flyers around the Union, find one or two organizations that really mean something to you — organizations in which you feel as though your time is spent constructively. When students spend more time in fewer organizations as opposed to less time in several organizations, they are more likely to build meaningful relationships and seek advancement and leadership opportunities within those organizations.
Ultimately, the journey will be different depending on the student. There will be those who obsess on maximizing participation, and these students will have to limit themselves and decide what really matters. There will be those who will have to force themselves out of their rooms to so much as see another student in the commons.
Whatever path you take, learn a lot, meet new people and, most importantly, have fun. Just make sure, as is advisable with all things, you proceed with moderation.
Brogden is a freshman in Business Administration from Oatle.

The football team may have won its game Saturday, but these two girls were the clear winners when it comes to fashionable outfits at the tailgates.
Kelsey Whitaker, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., was spotted sporting the latest fashion trend while enjoying a tailgate with friends and family Sept. 9. It was a beautiful day, perfect for celebrating a football victory, and Whitaker was comfortable yet chic in her preppy game day attire. Whitaker is shown here wearing a casual white tank top with a retro navy blue polka dot skirt. Polka dots are a fashion must this season because they always attract attention, which helps Whitaker stand out in a crowd of Jayhawk fans. She complements her spot-on outfit with the perfect touch of crimson by using a red side satchel bag. This fashionable yet functional purse is the essential tailgate bag since Whitaker can cheer on her Jayhawks without having to carry a purse in her hand.
Fashion is all about expressing yourself, and if you are feeling brave, try a polka dot bowie-style dress from Need Supply Co. ($78). Pair it with a red patent leather belt from Express ($24.90) and you are ready to cheer on the Jayhawks in style. Since fall is approaching, pair this outfit with your favorite cowboy boots, which make it easy to hop from tailgate to tailgate.
Another fashion victory on Saturday was with Morgan Gramling's wild combination of animal print and colored jeans, two of fall's top trends. Gramling, a junior from Fayetteville, Ark, wore a sleeveless leopard print blouse with skinny red jeans. An unexpected combination of two of fall's most-wanted pieces makes this outfit something to go wild about. Morgan's American flag bangle added the perfect amount of patriotism in remembrance of 9/11 to her game day outfit. Her stick-on jayhawk tattoo was the finishing touch to a winning outfit.
Unleash your inner animal with a leopard print top from ASOS ($21.95) which pairs nicely with bright red skinny jeans from Forever 21($24.90). Don't forget your stick-on Jayhawk tattoo, which is available at the Kansas Sampler, 921 Massachusetts St.

Beshears gains ground, pushes past struggles
MIKE VERNON
mrvernon@kansan.com
To say that junior receiver D.J. Beshears needed a short memory in Saturday's victory over Northern Illinois would be an understatement. In fact, it would be an understatement to say Beshears has needed a short memory in his entire career at Kansas.

Junior wide receiver D.J. Beshears runs the ball past Northern Illinois line backer Gervaise Porter on Saturday. He caught the game-winning pass for a 45-42 Kansas victory
Beshears got off to a slow start against Northern Illinois, dropping a pass early on in the Jayhawks' second possession. On the following Kansas drive, he then committed a holding penalty on a fourth and one play that could have turned into a 41-yard touchdown run.
MAX MIKULECKY/KAHSAN
Taking advice that the coaching staff had been preaching all summer, Beshears didn't let his downfalls snowball into continued sub-par play.
And he did.
"I just had to move onto the next play and step it up for my team," Beshears said.
Beshears responded by catching five passes after the holding penalty and coming up with late-game heroics on the Jayhawks' final drive. He returned the kickoff 51 yards, which helped him to earn Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week, and had an 18-yard run on an end-around.
His biggest contribution came on the final play for Kansas when he caught the game-winning pass on a do-or-die fourth-down play.
Instead of letting his early mistakes affect his play, Bearshears
turned his game around, finishing with seven receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns.
Just as Beshears could have given up last Saturday, he could have done the same thing after his freshman season.
He started three consecutive games at corner back and then found the bench, located in the sometimes-puzzling Mark Mangino doghouse. He did not see the field in the team's final three games that year.
His sophomore year he moved to the offensive side of the ball, but there was not much consistency in where he played besides that. Beshears spent time alternating between running back and wide receiver, while returning kickoffs.
Beshears finished third on the team in rushing his sophomore year, but because of an overload of young talent at running back, the coaches decided to finally give him his official position at receiver.
The coaches knew they made the right decision after Beshears took over as a favorite target for sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb down the stretch of last week's game.
Receivers coach David Beaty credits Beshears' athleticism to the smoothness of all of the position changes.
"It's pretty impressive, but he falls in that great athlete category," Beaty said. "Those guys can do a lot of different things and he fits that mold. There are a lot of techniques you have to learn to do that.
He's just so athletic he picks them up very quickly"
Just as Beshears has been able to trudge through the speed bumps throughout his Kansas career, the
Jayhawks will have to learn to do the same this season. Last year, they would often trail early in games, get down on themselves, and allow that to snowball into a
blowout defeat.

Tayler Tolefle did not want to attend the University of Kansas.
"I grew up here for 18 years and I was set on leaving." Tolefree said.
It took just one visit with coach Ray Bechard and his staff for the Lawrence native to realize that, when it comes to volleyball, there is no place like home.
Tolefree, a junior middle blocker, has blossomed into one of Bechard's most reliable upperclassmen, recording a team-leading .343 attack percentage this season. She said the decision to remain in the city she grew up in turned out to be a blessing.
"I love being able to go home and see my parents," Tolefree said. "My grandma recently moved here, too. So having friends and family be able to come is definitely something I overlooked but now appreciate."
Tolefree led the team with 14 blocks during last weekend's Clarion Inn-vitational in Cedar Falls, Iowa, helping the Jayhawks (8-1) upset No. 6 Minnesota along the way.
times that creates opportunity, and sometimes that can create issues. But she's a wonderful kid who stands for the right things and shows up every day ready to go to work."
Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc is Tolefree's roommate. She said Tolefree has two very different personalities.
"She's very inner-reflective and self-critical." Bechard said. "Some-
Bechard described Tolefree as a quiet.force on the court who leads by example. As one of the few standout upperclassmen on a young and talented squad, Tolefree is being asked to open up and be more vocal on the court.
"On the court she's very aggressive," Jarmoc said. "She's the strong, silent type. In both aspects, on and off the court, she's very driven." However, Jarmoc said, people don't always get to see the easy-going Tolefree she sees at home.
Tolefree's drive plays heavily into games and practices. Jarmoc said Tolefree is sometimes known to time her off-court breaks to the minute, getting right back to work as soon as they are over.
"She is very organized, and it's funny watching how she organizes her time," Jarmoc said. "She always has a plan and she's always scheduled, even in her free time. I think that carries over throughout her entire life."
Tolefree was a standout at Lawrence High School when she committed to Kansas her junior year. She was named to the First Team All-Sunflower League as a junior and a senior. She said she did not really consider herself at the level of a Division I volleyball player until she toured with the Lawrence Mays, a local club team.
"Once clubs stepped up, it started to get more serious," Tolefree said. "When I got letters I started
thinking, 'Wow, I can do this.' It wasn't something I ever really considered."
Recruiting the best Lawrence has to offer is key for Bechard, who said his staff has two missions when recruiting the area.
"We want to promote volleyball in this area so there are players capable of playing at Kansas," Bechard said. "And we want to promote it in the area so kids want to play at the University of Kansas."
Tolefree said she could still fulfill her desire to study in another state when she enters graduate school in two years. For now, she said she is content being the quiet leader of one of the most promising Kansas volleyball teams in recent history.
Tolefree said she would rather lead by contributing her kills and blocks to help the team instead of being loud and outspoken.
"But out of the gym, I'm more of a fun personality than the coaches know when I'm with the team," she said.

Royals take down Twins in fourth straight victory
Mike Moustakas had three hits and drove in two runs and Luke Hochevar pitched six solid innings to help the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 7-3 on Wednesday.
Moustakas drove in runs in the second and fourth inning with singles. He doubled and scored in the two-run sixth inning.
The Royals have won four straight games, matching their longest winning streak of the season, while the Twins have lost 19 of 23 and are in last place in the American League Central after winning the division the past two years.
Hochevar (11-11) gave up two runs on five hits in six innings. He improved to 6-3 in 12 starts since the All-Star break.
Jeff Francoeur also had three hits and scored two runs. Eric Hosmer, Francoeur and Moustakas — the Royals' fourth.
fifth and sixth hitters — went a combined 8-for-12 and scored five runs.
Salvador Perez drove in a pair of runs with a fourth inning double and a sixth inning single.
Johnny Glavotella had two RBIs without a hit. His sacrifice fly in the second scored Francoeur. In the three-run fourth, Glavotella reached on a Trevor Plouffe throwing error, allowing Francoeur to score.
Greg Holland, one of six rookies used by the Royals, got the final two outs to log his third save in five opportunities.
Liam Hendricks (0-2), who was making his second big league, was roughed up for five runs on eight hits in five innings. Hendricks was 12-6 with a 3.36 ERA in the minors before his Sept. 6 promotion.
The Twins scored 10 runs and committed nine errors in losing all five on this trip to Kansas City and Detroit.

THE MORNING BREW
Players can meddle with team's Karma
The word "karma" is tossed around a lot, usually to explain why something bad happened to someone who behaves like a jerk. But all Jayhawk fans witnessed karma firsthand last Saturday in the Jayhawks' victory over Northern Illinois.
On that last game-winning drive, the Northern Illinois defense was tired, and without any timeouts left, its players appeared to cramp up after every play, slowing the pace down and letting their teammates rest.
If Northern Illinois had any timeouts remaining, it would've been forced to take them while tending to their injured player. However, Northern Illinois did not have any timeouts left, therefore the clock stopped as the trainers walked the hurt player to the sidelines.

This gave the Husky defense a chance to regroup against the Jayhawk offense that was marching down the field to take the lead.
The jayhawks didn't complain about the Huskies' attempts to slow the game down. They ended up taking the lead with a fourth and goal touchdown that will be immortalized in the minds of the 48,000 fans there to witness it.
Going back to the FIFA Women's World Cup Quarterfinal match between the
Erika plodded around on the field, refusing to get up until the trainers brought out the stretcher and carried her off the field to a safe distance. Then a miracle happened, Erika's leg was magically healed as soon as she left the pitch. So with time about to expire, Erika thought she had wasted valuable seconds off the clock to get her team closer to victory.
United States and Brazil, the U.S. squad was down by a goal in overtime. Brazilian defender Erika went down late in the match after a tackle.
Then karma kicked in.
The referee gave Erika a yellow card for her delay and extended the game with enough stoppage time to make up for the time lost. The added time was enough for U.S. striker Abby Wambach to tie it up with a header and send the U.S. on to
win in penalty kicks.
Now, do I believe fans can truly have an effect on their team's karma? No, most likely not because there are probably enough fans on both sides to balance things out. Except for the Philadelphia Eagles, whose fans are famous for throwing snowballs and booing Santa Claus.
Players, however, can affect the team's karma. Remember the cautionary tale of Barry Bonds. He was one of the most talented players around, but the cloud of steroid controversy tarnishes his career. Bonds never won a World Series, but the Giants did just three seasons after he left.

CROSS COUNTRY
Big 12 names Stowe Runner of the Week
Only once in the history of the Kansas cross-country program has a Jawahry woman won-the award for Big 12 Runner of the Week. That was until Tuesday, when senior Rebeka Wesson was honored with the title.
The award was based on her first place finish in the Missouri Cross-Country Challenge. After finishing with a time of 17:43.93, Stowe said she thought it was important to start the season on a positive note. There is no doubt that she accomplished that in the first week of the season.
Not only did Stowe win the Big 12 Runner of the Week award, but she also ran the fastest 5K of her career, finished first in a collegiate race for the second time and helped the Jayhawks win as a team in Saturday's race.
Last season Stowe finished first among Kansas women in every race in which she competed and earned the All-Big 12 award.

COMMENTARY
Teaming up with Mizzou
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
With Texas A&M on the cusp of officially joining the Southeastern conference and The Sporting News reporting that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are expected to apply for membership to the Pac-12 soon, it's safe to say this 15-year marriage we call the Big 12 will be over before the first toss of confetti hits the Allen Field-house floor in November.
Oklahoma was the last hope of stability, but the Sooners—much like the Huskers and Aggies before them—seemed up with Texas and all its antics and are looking for a fresh start out west. Texas' Longhorn Network looks to be halting any interest from the Pac-12 at this point, and if Texas doesn't go, don't expect Texas Tech to see anything resembling an invite, either.
Go west and take its rival with it.
Its real rival, Missouri.
The Big East seems like a legitimate option for both Kansas and Kansas State, but it shouldn't happen. Kansas needs to channel its inner Horace Greeley and "Go West."
Kansas and Missouri need to team up and sell their great rivalry to the Pac-12 and commissioner Larry Scott. The upside for the Pac-12 makes too much sense. They'd be getting the Kansas City and St. Louis markets, a basketball blue blood to team with UCLA and Arizona, and a perennial top-25 football program in Missouri; not to mention one of the nation's best rivalries as well. Besides that, there really aren't that many viable options left if Scott wants to expand to 16 and Texas isn't a part of the plan. Kansas and Missouri fans hate each other, but can we really imagine life without Missouri? If I've said it once, I've said it 47 times; rivalries that began with actual pillaging and murder shouldn't be forgotten.
From Kansas' standpoint, a partnership with Missouri just makes more sense than bringing Kansas State along. Turner Gill could sell high school recruits on trips to USC, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington while Billy Snyder tells the same kids a November trip to Syracuse really isn't that bad. Advantage: Kansas.
And if you really think about it, does Kansas State really deserve to be in a conference with USC, Stanford, Oregon, or Oklahoma? That "decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowls wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

TRANSLATING
A TRANSITION
MAX MIKULECKY/KANSAN
Freshman forward Ingrid Vidal points skyward during the South Dakota State game this season. Vidal is tied for the Big 12 leader in goals scored and the overall Big 12 leader for goals and assists combined.
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Craftiness expresses Ingrid Vidal's soccer skills.
She may not be the biggest or strongest player, but she's hiding all kinds of tricks up her sleeves.
When in the attacking part of the field, freshman forward Vidal raises her hand over her head, signaling for the ball.
She'll then slow down for a moment and wait for the defender to catch up. After receiving the ball, she takes a small touch with her foot and maneuvers around the defender toward the goal.
This devious tactic is just one of the many Vidal brings in her offensive arsenal. It's also the reason she's tied for the Big 12 leader in goals scored and the overall Big 12 leader for goals and assists combined.
"She's just has a good sense of moving off the ball," coach Mark
Francis said. "She's has a good sense of being in the right place at the right time. She's very technical, very good on the ball, very composed."
Vidal, a native of Palmira, Colombia, also won Newcomer of the Week awards two weeks in a row, an accomplishment never achieved in Jayhawk soccer history.
During an interview through a translator, Vidal said that the team is the reason she is getting these awards.
Both her teammate and fellow Colombian Liana Salazar and Kansas softball outfielder Maggie Hull assisted in translating Vidal's comments into English.
"It's been an interesting experience," sophomore foward
coaches and with daily life."
Having a friend in Salazar makes this transition to the United States much easier.
"She's helped me a lot in terms of adapting here," Vidal said. "She explains things when I don't understand them with the
It was a complex decision for Vidal to come to America, but she knew it was the correct step for her future plans, both academically and athletically.
Vidal said it helps being an athlete because everyone is here to help her. She also said she's picked up a lot of English through soccer terminology, but day-to-day conversations are still a challenge.
It has not only been a unique situation for Vidal. Her teammates continue to learn from her, even with the language barrier.
Even with the fabulous start, Vidal is still continuing to adjust to the American soccer game.
Vidal said the American elements of soccer are much more organized. The style of play is technical and strength-based.
Caroline Kastor said. "I've never played with an international player on my team. She brings a lot to the field, but she also brings a lot of chemistry to the team."
Kastor roamed with Vidal on the team's recent road trip to Missouri State. She felt like that was a chance to really open up to her teammate.
"It's easy at first to just stay quiet and not talk to her too much just because you didn't know what to say," Kastor said. "But being her roommate forced me to open up with her and talk about personal stuff. I think that was good and made her feel a lot more comfortable."
Throughout this last month, many of her teammates have grown in their relationship with Vidal.
One in particular is freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouduck who's helped both Salazar
and Vidal by bringing out their senses of humor.
After many games, Van Slambrouck can be spotted kidding around with Vidal about the game.
As Vidal continues to progress with both English and her soccer skills, she hopes that it will have winning results for the team.
"The more she plays with the team, the more she will understand what we do and it will become a lot more fluent." Van Slambrouck said.
Kansas' (6-2) next matchup is against highly ranked Florida on Sunday at 1 p.m. The game will be at the Jayhawk soccer complex.

Georgia Tech put up solid allaround offensive numbers in their first two games this year, making them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the Jayhawks.
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing." Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
Hill leads the Yellow Jackets' receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.
The Jayhawks scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
"It's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK," Keeston Terry, freshman receiver, said.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Hill is the lone offensive leader from the 2010 Yellow Jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua
Nesbitt and running back Anthony Allen graduated.
Into the void stepped the quarterback pair of junior Tevin Washington and freshman Synyin Days. The Yellow jackets haven't missed a beat. Their rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game.
Washington is primarily the passing quarterback, throwing for 473 yards, but Days is the leading rusher for the Yellow Jackets, with 29 carries and 146 vards.
"Guys have to show up and make plays," Bradley McDougall, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."
Jayhawks' defense that has been tough against opposing tailbacks, allowing Northern Illinois tailbacks only 58 yards last week.
Last week, the Jayhawks struggled to defend the pass, allowing Chandler Harnish to accumulate 315 yards through the air. Georgia Tech's option offense relies heavily on the run, which could tip the scales in favor of the

Students know the challenges of waking up for that 8 a.m. class. But some students — much younger students — understand a different struggle. These students, along with getting up early, must make their way from the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. In the morning, a group of 17 children woke up and shared two showers and two toilets along side 14 adults. After getting ready they went up stairs and waited with 40 more adults for breakfast, or walked to school and received a free meal at school.

"Kids are so adaptable. The stressors we see are getting used to a new school and the stigma that may come with the label 'shelter kid' or 'homeless kid'," said Jennifer Davis, the case manager at the Lawrence Community Shelter. "Luckily, so many of them are going to the same school that they
the past, it would be just one new kid coming from the shelter. He or she would stand out a little bit more."
According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.
Davis has seen a dramatic increase in family homelessness in Douglas County.

The shelter began its Family Program at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 14 families with 24 adults and 24 children in the program. In 2010, there were 50 families with 67 adults and 83 chil-

The main goals of the week were to increase awareness and educate the campus about sexual assault. Each day this week, volunteers had this table on Wescoe Beach set up where students could take a pledge to hold others accountable for their actions and try to put an end to sexual assault.
Students could also decorate bandanas in honor of a victim of sexual assault and learn more about what sexual assault is and what resources are available for assistance with a different
part of the week.
Today, volunteers will discuss the importance of bystander intervention. The GaDuGi SafeCenter will also host two events over the weekend to raise awareness and money to prevent sexual assault.
"We want to make sure they know how they can help and how they can be an advocate," said Heath. "And we want them to know its not just a women's issue. We want to make it okay for men on this campus to be able to talk about it seriously and try to help prevent it on our campus."

EDITOR'S NOVE
Mary Jo Garnett
Eating well and college don't typically go hand-in-hand. As classes and social lives busy our schedules, home-cooked meals turn into faint memories and convenience becomes the theme of our diets.
For many, pizza, beer, Easy Mac and Jimmy John's make up the food pyramid, but for the health-conscious students, their pyramid consists largely of fruits, vegetables and other whole foods.
As a firm believer in the "you are what you eat" mantra, I identify with the latter. Since starting college, I've always made an effort to buy groceries and eat healthily, but when school's in full swing, the balance of my diet goes out the window. With little time (OK, and maybe a lack of energy) to really prepare anything, I would consistently eat salad, fruit, yogurt and other on-the-go snacks, not realizing the insubstantiality of it until I crashed.
In more extreme cases, such eating habits mightteether on the line between being health-conscious and disordered eating, medically recognized as "orthorexia." For more on what this disorder entails, read Bre's story on page nine.
My dad likes to call this eating like a rabbit. This rabbit-like diet got me through the week all right, but I couldn't help but notice how weak or tired I felt after only a few protein-deprived days. And it became even more apparent just by how much better I felt anytime I would eat a burger, piece of fish or even some almonds.
While it's important to get an adequate amount of the stuff on the bottom of the food pyramid, it's even more important to not take creative control of the pyramid and overdo or entirely omit a food group.

Students know the challenges of waking up for that 8 a.m. class. But some students — much younger students — understand a different struggle. These students, along with getting up early, must make their way from the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. In the morning, a group of 17 children woke up and shared two showers and two toilets along side 14 adults. After getting ready they went upstairs and waited with 40 more adults for breakfast, or walked to school and received a free meal at school.

"Kids are so adaptable. The stressors we see are getting used to a new school and the stigma that may come with the label 'sheltter kid' or 'homeless kid,'" said Jennifer Davis, the case manager at the Lawrence Community Shelter. "Luckily, so many of them are going to the same school that they

the past, it would be just one new kid coming from the shelter. He or she would stand out a little bit more."
According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.
The shelter began its Family Program at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 14 families with 24 adults and 24 children in the program. In 2010, there were 50 families with 67 adults and 83 child-

Today, volunteers will discuss the importance of bystander intervention. The GaDuGi SafeCenter will also host two events over the weekend to raise awareness and money to prevent sexual assault.
"We want to make sure they know how they can help and how they can be an advocate," said Heath. "And we want them to know its not just a women's issue. We want to make it okay for men on this campus to be able to talk about it seriously and try to help prevent it on our campus."

KJJK caller asks:
I'm a virgin and I do masturbate. I easily orgasm by stimulating my clitoris with a vibrator. However, when I masturbate vaginally, I can't. I have a standard vibrator. Am I not angling it correctly? Is it not long enough? I do feel some pressure but I don't come close to having an orgasm. Please help me!
Michelle answers:
Let me start by congratulating you on engaging in self-discovery! Taking time to explore your body is key in the recipe for sexual success.
(5)
I'm sure you're curious about the g-spot orgasm. This spot is typically located about two inches inside the vagina, above the pelvic bone. Masturbating in a back-and-forth motion with a straight vibrator won't stimulate your g-spot.
Try this:
1. With your palm down, insert two fingers inside your vagina. Hook them towards your pelvis to locate the soft, rounded area just above your pelvic bone.
Michelle MacBain is a graduate student from Kansas City. She studied sexuality, psychology and communication studies at KU and The University of Amsterdam.
2. Round your fingers in a "come here" motion to stimulate this area. You'll start to feel a tingling sensation. This means you hit the spot
3. Relax and enjoy. If you try for the g-spot orgasm and don't achieve climax, don't sweat it.

HOW WE MET // JESSICA GREGG & TREVOR SHERPING > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
He thought she was annoying. She thought he was awkward. So how in the world did Trevor Sherping, a sophomore from Mulvane, Kan., and Jessica Gregg, a sophomore from Lenexa, wind up together?
It all started last year when the two lived on the same floor. After moving into Templin, some friends organized a game of hostage, a game where blindfolded players are dropped off at remote locations and must describe their whereabouts to their "rescuers" via telephone. Gregg was in the same car as Sherping. "She was in the backseat of my friend's car and was screaming because she was scared," he says. "That was my first impression of her; off the wall and crazy."
Brett and Kara
First impressions: Both Sherping and Gregg admit they were initially attracted.
But over time, his feelings changed and he started seeing her in a different light. Gregg, who, at the time, was more interested in Sherping's best friend, had her doubts. She was hesitant to jump into a relationship. In fact, she turned him down the first time he asked her out.
It was only a matter of time, though, before her feelings started to change as well. After confessing how she felt, the two went out to dinner in what they consider their official
first date. And last November, they became an official couple.
Ten months later, their initial impressions are long-forgotten. Thanks to living in close quarters, they are closer than ever. "We never had that 'whole dress up and go on a date thing'," Gregg says. "Because we lived together, we saw each other every day. We saw each other at our worst times. We just saw the person as the way they were."

"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

for this game this year, making them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the Jayhawks.
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing." Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
"It's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK," Keeston Terry, frehsman receiver, said.

crashed misses a goal, then rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 389.5 yards per game.
"Guys have to show up and make plays," Bradley McDougald, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."

SIBLINGS ATTENDING KU TOGETHER DISH ON WHAT IT'S LIKE
College can be a pretty overwhelming time. Daunting classes, crazy weekends and crowds of students ready to steamroll over the freshmen makes it feel like there's no stopping the madness. Luckily, everyone soon falls into new friendships. For some students, there's someone even closer to them that they can turn to—their sibling. But having someone you've known forever right by your side isn't always easy.
ENTERING THE COLLEGE ATMOSPHERE
When Kelli Klecan, a sophomore from Topeka, came to KU last year, she looked to her older brother, Kurtis, now a senior, for advice. Whether it was showing her how to buy books without spending thousands of dollars, moving boxes into her dorm room or just answering the phone, Kurtis automatically assumed the big brother role.
"You want to help your sibling out and help her get in really fast." Kurtis says. "I could teach her where to go and what to do in Lawrence when she first got here."
1904
Sharing insider information with a younger sibling is often the go-to assistance an older sibling first offers. Dr. Don Lynch, a psychology professor at Unity College in Maine, says this can help strengthen the relationship right off the bat. "Having an older sibling on campus, who helps you learn the ropes with things even as simple as finding a classroom, really makes the transition to college go more smoothly," he says. "It's very valuable stuff."
Mark Krutty, a sophomore from Olathe, noticed the same benefits from his older sister Brittany, a senior. In their case, not only did Brittany help him when he first arrived, but she also had an effect before he even stepped foot on campus. "I knew what to expect," Krutty says. "Seeing her here definitely helped me know what I could look to later in college."
WHEN THE SOCIAL SCENE STEPS INTO THE PICTURE
While school is easy to handle, things get a little trickier when siblings and parties mix. And, if siblings have differing personalities, it can really start to jump off the deep end.
Kelli and Kurtis consider themselves opposites—Kurtis is more of the partner, while Kelli is more reserved. Kelli says it took her a while to see Kurtis in his partying glory, especially since they hang out in the same group of friends and live one block away from each other.
"When I got to KU last year, obviously as big brothers do, he was like 'come over, let's have some fun.' Drinking wasn't something I wanted to pursue, but I eventually learned that I could go over to his house and not drink with him and still have fun," Kelli says.
Brittany and Mark also hang out in the same group of friends. While both sets of siblings enjoy having friends in common, Dr. Lynch says in other siblings' relationships, this can cause some tension. "Competition can put a lot of stress on siblings," Lynch says. "It's part of your developmental growth period. When you have social stuff going on, having and hanging out with your own separate friends is important."
JD
CHRISTINE CURTIN
While Mark and his sister haven't had any huge fights, he thinks there should be some regulations between how siblings interact in social settings. "It depends on what your relationship is with your sibling before you come to college," he says. "But I think it's good to draw a line between how you socialize so you don't get too frustrated with each other at any given point in time."

MOM DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW BEST
It's common for siblings to share with their parents what their brother or sister has been up to at college. Even the strong-willed siblings who swear to secrecy can crack under mom or dad's pressure. "There is potential for some real conflict when parents get involved in college siblings' relationships," Dr. Lynch says.
Like Kurtis and Kelli experienced, it's not always best to clue the parents in on certain activities. "If we fight even, it's about the fact that I tell mom stuff that she doesn't need to know exactly," Kelli says.
Brittany and Mark had it a little easier. Their parents would more so ask general questions about their relationship at college than get involved. "That type of conflict can not only damage the relationship between siblings, but also the relationship between the siblings and their parents." Dr. Lynch says.

AGE
[ AGE IS JUST A NUMBER ]
100%

Numbers game: Consider all the factors before dating someone older or younger than you.
After hanging out with a group of friends one summer night, Jay walked Lawrence sophomore Katie Brown to her car. As he was hugging her goodbye, he confessed that he was really liked her and asked if she would like to go out sometime. She eagerly accepted, as she had grown increasingly interested in him through the summer months as well. There was only one thing: she was 19. He was 28.
When the two first met through the KU Swing Society, a swing dancing club, during Brown's freshman year, she was instantly attracted to his helpful nature; Jay was accustomed to serving people after spending six years in the Navy. Although he was dating someone else at the time, the two remained close. It wasn't until last summer, though, that they began to see each other as more than friends.
For many, a nine-year age difference would be cause for concern, but it was nothing out of the ordinary for Brown. "My parents work with college students, so I have always been used to interacting and relating to people much older than me from a very young age," Brown says. "But [his age] was definitely something I took into consideration before dating him."
TALKING IT OUT
According to Sonja Heath, assistant director at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, there are a variety of factors that students should consider before jumping into a relationship with someone who is significantly older or younger than they are. "I think it might be safe to say that if you're older, you've had more relationship experiences. You might also be more in touch with the things you want out of a relationship - emotionally, physically, mentally," Heath says. "As a younger person, though, you might not know."
Knowing what you want to gain, Heath says, is one of the most crucial elements of having a successful relationship. It's possible that an older partner will be more eager to settle down or more comfortable going a step farther in a sexual relationship. Confusion can easily occur if the couple is unwilling to talk openly about their personal comfort levels. Also, she says that it might be difficult finding common interests to bond over.
Unlike some, Brown hasn't had any issues in those departments. She says that one of the main reasons she was drawn to Jay was because of his straightforward personality. Like herself, he gave open and honest answers that didn't leave her unsure of anything. Additionally, Brown could appreciate the fact that although there was a significant age difference, because of his time in the service, they were in similar stages of their lives.
"If he had been 28 and if he had had a career and a job and had been totally outside any realm of me, that would've been something where I would've been like, 'OK, let's take a major double look at this before I start dating you.'" Brown says. "But I feel like yes, he's much older, but we're in kind of the same boat. He just happened to have spent six years on a boat."
GAPS
MENTAL CHECK
After examining the physical and emotional boundaries in an age gap relationship, it's important to remember the psychological effect it might have on a person. According to Omri Gillath, an Associate Professor of social psychology, younger parties may subconsciously use their older partners as a replacement for their parents or as a security blanket. Inversely, older partners might see their younger halves as a fountain of youth. "It can give [the older person] a fresh perspective, or make you feel young again," Gillath says. "But it can also add stress because your partner isn't mature enough or doesn't have your life experience."
Couples with large age differences might face some judgment from the public. Although these types of Hollywood relationships receive criticisms from the public, they don't receive more or less than any other celebrity relationship, Heath says. She says that couples must be prepared to face the disapproval from their family and friends, because while they might have an ideal relationship, people looking in will draw their own conclusions.
Brown's family and friends have fully supported her relationship, and although problems can arise in age-gap relationships, she believes that everyone is capable of making it last as long as they're smart. "Just be wise," she says. "Are you a relatively stable, mature, self-sufficient person? Do you have good boundaries? Can you say no? A lot of those things are essential to any relationship, but especially if you're going to start dating someone older, you need to be aware that a lot more complications can come."

Students know the challenges of waking up for that 8 a.m. class. But some students — much younger students — understand a different struggle. These students, along with getting up early, must make their way from the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. In the morning, a group of 17 children woke up and shared two showers and two toilets along side 14 adults. After getting ready they went up stairs and waited with 40 more adults for breakfast, or walked to school and received a free meal at school.
"Kids are so adaptable. The stressors we see are getting used to a new school and the stigma that may come with the label 'shelter kid' or 'homeless kid,'" said Jennifer Davis, the case manager at the Lawrence Community Shelter. "Luckily, so many of them are going to the same school that they

According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.
The school district defines homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act, which includes families that are double-up or staying with family or friends.
The shelter began its Family Program at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 14 families with 24 adults and 24 children in the program. In 2010, there were 50 families with 67 adults and 83 chil-

Today, volunteers will discuss the importance of bystander intervention. The GaDUGi SafeCenter will also host two events over the weekend to raise awareness and money to prevent sexual assault.

THAT'S DISGUSTING // BEETLES USED AS DYE > Dude...gross.
Beetlejuice might bring back memories of your childhood summer camp or make you think of Winona Ryder, but what about as an ingredient in cosmetics and even foods?
Carmine is a natural red coloring extracted from the cochineal beetle of South America and is used to dye a variety of products from cosmetics to yogurt and salad dressings. Although Sophia Wornick, a freshman from San Francisco, isn't concerned about the products she enjoys containing carmine, the thought of eating or drinking something colored with crushed up beetle shells grosses her out. "I'm a vegetarian so that's totally disgusting to me," Wornick says.
Jessica Jones-Dille, marketing manager for Wild Flavors, Inc., Erlanger, Ken., who sells carmine and other natural dyes to manufacturers, says most people don't know carmine comes from beetles. Jones-Dille says manufacturers want natural ingredients so their products are label friendly.
Manufactures often chose carmine over
other natural red dyes because it is more stable and doesn't fade. Carmine performs like red-40 without having the negative effects of synthetic dye, Jones-Dille says. A 2007 study from South Hampton, United Kingdom, linked artificial colors to hyperactivity in children. Jones-Dille says that because of the study there has been an increased interest in natural alternatives to artificial dyes especially in products for children.

WALKING TO CLASS
Whether it's hot or cold, rain or shine, it's easy to find an excuse to not make that extra effort to walk across campus. It's simple, but when the weather's uncomfortable, it can seem difficult to climb the mountainous hills and hundreds of steps to trek across campus.
Benefits like improving your posture and in creasing your blood circulation may be worth walking, says Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Student Health Services.
Quinlan recommends getting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy. There's a greater benefit by doing one 30 minute workout since it increases your pulse and heart rate, Quinlan says. But still completing the 30 minutes during the day is better than no exercise.
An easy way do get your daily exercise in, is by walking to classes instead of taking the buses and elevators. On average, there are 16,600 KU on Wheels rides a day, wrote Margreta de Vries, parking commission secretary at KU Parking & Transit. With 29,462 students enrolled last year, according to University

statistics, about every one-in-two students ride a bus.
If it takes ten minutes to walk to one class and you have three classes, you are done with your workout for the day, Quinlan says.
There are an estimated 30,000 steps on campus, says Curtis Marsh, program director of KU Info. With this many steps, it's easy to get a good workout on your way to class. If you want a more challenging workout, consider jogging up the steps, Quinlan says.

GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU // 3-D GLASSES
Like many students, Mary Kate Sheehan saw the final Harry Potter movie this summer, but not just the regular 2-D movie. Sheehan, a freshman from Lynnfield, Mass., experienced Harry Potter in 3-D. "It definitely gets you into the movie, like you're a part of it," Sheehan says. She says she enjoyed the 3-D version even though it made her motion sick at times.
The 3-D experience has hit theaters across the nation, but what are the effects of the 3-D craze on our eyes? At this point, nobody knows the short or long term effects because no studies have been done, says Scott Hickman an optometrist at Lawrence Eye Care Associates. Children typically develop the ability to see

3-D by age 3. There is a possibility that when young children watch 3-D, they prevent this development, but this has not been proven, Hickman says.
Photo by Christy Nutz Seeing triple: If you have an eye condition, 3-D glasses may cause a headache or fatigue.
For adults, eye conditions often cause problems when watching 3-D. "If you get fatigue or a headache when watching 3-D, take it as a warning sign and see the eye doctor," Hickman says. The most common conditions that cause problems are Amblyopia, more commonly known as lazy eye, and Strabismus, where the eyes are misaligned with each other.
"If you've seen your optometrist recently and don't have any eye condition, it is probably okay to enjoy 3-D," Hickman says.
Verdict: Good for the you if you've had a recent eye exam and no eye problems.

"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiasto Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
The Jayhawk scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.

From healthy eating to an unhealthy obsession
Photo illustration by Rebecca Dreyfus Fruits 'n' Veggies: Limiting your diet can be harmful.
One eating disorder that makes being healthy harmful.
Anorexia was coined in 1868. Bulimia was coined in 1979. Orthorexia was coined in 1997. The first two you may be familiar with, but the third term may have you pulling Google up on your phone to search it. These three words share similar roots, but eventually branch out into different disorders.
DEFINING A DISORDER
"Health Food Junkie"
It may be hard to differentiate between a healthy eater and someone who has Orthorexia. Timberline Knolls, a residential treatment center out of Lemont, Ill., provides a clear-cut guide to determining the disorder. Here are a few questions to ask yourself to figure out if you're a healthy eater or a "health food junkie."
1. Do I completely avoid foods with artificial colors, flavors or preservatives?
2. Has my opinion of acceptable foods reduced my diet to consuming less than 10 foods regularly?
3. Do I have a fear of eating out because I cannot control how my food is prepared?
Orthorexia is an obsession with healthy or righteous eating. Due to the fact that it's a newer disorder, many may be seeing this term for the first time, but it shouldn't be undermined. In 2004, the University of Rome surveyed 400 students to see how prevalent the disorder was. Out of those 400, 28 of them (6.9 percent) showed orthorectic behavior, which is a higher percentage than Anorexia and Bulimia combined.
Before you think you don't fall into this category, ask yourself if you are a healthy eater, and then you can start to define the lines between healthy and obsessive.
Let's pretend for a minute that you love celery because it's an unprocessed whole food. You love celery so much, in fact, that you eat it every single day because you are obsessed with the health benefits. Then you discover that celery is better once dipped in hummus, but you make sure the hummus doesn't contain preservatives or artificial dyes that could be considered unhealthy. Next, you read an article about the health benefits of carrots, so you add those into your daily food routine. Pretty soon you are only eating five or six different foods because these foods are what you have established in your brain as "healthy."
VARIETY IS KEY
You may shrug this off as selective or picky eating, but restricting yourself to only a few specific foods can be dangerous. "A
limited diet can create nutritional deficiencies leading to a compromised immune system and a greater risk for many illnesses," says Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Our society has become desensitized to diets that restrict because they have made it normal to become a selective eater. Some diets have you eliminate an entire food group (carbohydrates for the Atkins diet) making it more acceptable to have particularities of foods.
EVERYTHING IN MODERATION
Despite the stigma, it is acceptable to eat processed foods in moderation, according to Chapman- especially since avoiding processed foods or foods with additives/preservatives in them makes your grocery shopping experience less than exciting. The broken grocery cart with the sticky wheel and slob-
berry handle bars may not be your idea of fun, but nixing nearly every eaisle puts you... well, at the production section. Jon Marzette, a senior from Lawrence, doesn't let the center or frozen food aisles scare him. "I just eat whatever I think is awesome, and that is usually pizza, burgers, wings and more pizza. If it's 'healthy,' then that's just a plus," Marzette says.
THE HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVES
While some can eat whatever fits under a $5 budget without blinking an eye, others get sucked into being overly health conscious. The University of Kansas has many options to healthier, unrestricted alternatives. The KU Wellness through Nutrition organization is one that provides students with knowledge on healthy food alternatives as well as ways to cook healthier. Matt Koontz, a senior from Overland Park, is the president of the organization and has a faithful mind and eye when it comes to food. "What I eat plays a significant enough role in my overall wellness that healthy eating becomes a conscious decision," Koontz says. He is healthy about being healthy and knows that his energy relies on getting enough of the right kinds of food. Eating a wide range of foods is necessary, and when one begins to eliminate or restrict certain foods in an attempt to achieve what they think is ultimate health, it can eventually take a reverse effect. Chapman suggests a website called www.chosemyplate.com. This website can help detail a healthy, variety-filled diet. So before you begin to limit your foods to only a few, consider being healthy rather than obsessive over health.

Why do we wear bras? Is it because they're good for us? Will they prevent our breasts from sagging or keep them from growing if we sleep in them at night? Women hear many myths about bras, but what is actually true?
Wearing a bra is a personal preference, but it is a social norm we tend to follow, says Sue McDaneld, a nurse practitioner at Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department There are some cons when wearing a bra, but a simple tip can help women prevent the negative effects.
Women can unintentionally alter their menstrual cycle and increase the risk of infertility if a bra causes frequent rubbing on the nipple, says Carolyn DeSalvo, DB/GYN at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The rubbing can trigger the breasts to produce milk. To prevent this, DeSalvo recommends wearing a supportive bra, especially during exercise.
Wearing an ill-fitting bra can cause rubbing, skin tags, irritation and yeast infections along the bottom of the bra line. If a woman
To prevent this from happening, it is crucial to wear the correct bra size. Getting fitted at a department or lingerie store is free and painless. Hannah Rutzick, a junior from Plymouth, Minn., says she was fitted two years ago at a Victoria's Secret when she went bra shopping and has not had any problems since. It is a quick process because the bra fitsers measure around your chest with your clothes on.
has a history of yeast infections, constantly wearing a bra bring on infections because heat and moisture get trapped against the irritated nipple, McDanel says.
There is some physical benefit for large breasted women to wear a bra because it provides better support and comfort, especially with physical activity, McDanield says. Women with large breasts tend to have increased neck and back strains because they carry a lot of weight, so wearing a supportive bra with wide straps will help reduce some of that strain.
The caveat for a large-breasted woman wearing a bra is that the straps are not too
For small breasted women there is no health benefit if they wear a bra or not; it is a matter of preference and comfort, McDaneld says.
tight because they can cut in and cause worse back pain, DeSalvo says.
The bra fabric does not necessarily matter, whatever feels comfortable for each individual woman, McDaneld says. Bras with hard or rigid lace may cause more irritation and synthetic bras can increase the risk of skin infections because the fabric traps sweat and moisture. The bra fabric depends on the activities the woman will be doing while wearing the bra, McDaneld says.
There is no medical basis to say underwire bras cause cancer, DeSalvo says. Underwire bras can cause inflammation because they rub and this sometimes can cause confusion during a breast exam, so some say it is cancer, but it is not. DeSalvo savs.
Wearing a bra 24/7 will not affect your breasts in a negative or positive way as long as the bra is clean, Dr. DeSalvo says. Despite
the myths about sleeping in bras at night, women's breast growth depends on hormonal stimulation when a young woman becomes menstrual and if she gains or loses weight, McDaneid savs.
Sagging is not closely related to not wearing a bra, DeSalvo says. It is more dependent on weight gain, weight loss, pregnancies, natural aging and gravity. Bras can help, though, if a woman's breasts are starting to sag because it can make them look and feel better. DeSalvo says.
Occasionally, the underwire will break through the fabric, which can gauge the skin and scar it. McDaneld says. So, go through your bra drawer and throw out the old and damaged bras.
Remember to wash bras regularly because they will last longer. Perspiration and slougher off skin cells accumulate all the time and can eventually deteriorate the fabric and be less comfortable, McDaneld says.
Here you go ladies; this guide will be your best friend to help you determine whether you are wearing the perfect bra or if it is time to retire that old tattered one.
Jenise Bishop, a bra fitter at Linda the Bra Lady in New York City, says if you do not have a flattering silhouette underneath your shirt and your breast tissue is not smooth under the cups, then you do not have the correct bra size or style.
Finding the perfect fit is 95 percent about how the band fits you and only 5 percent about how the straps fit, Bishop says. The band is what supports your breast, the cups are to cover your breast tissue, and the straps give a little lift once you accommodate it with your torso. Bishop says.
Bishop says you can measure your bust size in a few easy steps:
1. Keep your bra on
2. Use a tape measure
3. To find your band size, measure underneath your breast
4. To find your cup size, measure the fullest part of your breast

"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State ft. football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

WALKING THE RUNWAY

NOTICE
WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO RUN A HALF MARATHON
> We know you're curious.
| BY RACHEL AUSTERFIELD AS TOLD TO AMANDA GAGE |
On May 15, at 7:30 a.m. in Sydney, Australia, while studying abroad, Rachel Austenfield, a senior from Overland Park, had just begun her first half-marathon. The Sydney Morning Herald Half-Marathon took place right in the middle of the well-known city, and Austenfield would run past spectacles such as the Sydney Opera House, Harbour and Hyde Park. Austenfield ran with study-abroad friends and finished the half-marathon in two hours and ten minutes.

Rachel Austenfeld (right) ran past scenic monuments, such as the Sydney Opera House, during her first half-marathon.
It's so funny sometimes how you get yourself into things. I first found out about the marathon through a friend's Facebook status that I had met there: "Officially just registered for the Sydney Morning Herald Half-Marathon!" From the second I saw that, I knew I was in. I had always wanted to do a half-marathon at some point in my life, and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting.
My two running buddies and I booked a hotel the night before located right next to Hyde Park. We figured this would be the best call since the race started so early, and we could just conveniently walk over to the starting line.
When my alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. on the day of the race, I was ready to go! I put on all my gear and had peanut butter oatmeal and a banana for breakfast, with a generous amount of water.
We left our hotel at about 7:05 a.m. to get a good spot at the starting line, and even though we still ended up in the back. I was so pumped. I felt completely invincible. I had been training, preparing, and waiting for this day for two months, and it was finally here, all to be over within a few hours. Definitely a feeling I
had never felt before.
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful morning. I could see the glistening water in Sydney Harbour to my right, and the sky had a promising pink hue. And then all of the sudden, 5,4,3,2,1...boom! We were off.
I ran next to my good friend Katrina for the entire race. I definitely did a lot of thinking during the race, which I liked. It felt absolutely incredible to be surrounded by 10,000 other runners who were all in something together for the same common purpose.
The first half of the race wasn't bad at all; I felt almost weightless. My breathing settled into a steady rhythm that almost made me feel as though I were walking. The very second we passed the halftway point, though, I could feel my muscles, joints and ligaments start to wear down. I kept pushing though and I wasn't going to walk, even for one minute. The entire time I kept thinking about how so many things we do in life are a mind game—how our mind affects our body in incredible ways.
After we made it past the finish line, I was so excited to be done. There was just a common feeling of camaraderie and goodwill in

the air, which I loved.
We made our way back to Wollongong (a city just 50 miles south of Sydney where we lived), and after sitting on that train for an hour and a half, my joints definitely went into shock.
That night, we had a big buffet-style dinner. I went to bed that night feeling happy, accomplished, and rightfully full.
Training for and completing the Sydney Morning Herald Half-Marathon was something I will cherish for my entire life. It taught me that no matter what your goals are in life, you absolutely cannot settle for less, because they make up who you are. No matter what you will always learn something from striving to be your best self. I don't think I'm going to become a marathon junkie by any means, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

ALBUM REVIEW
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Bon Iver's Justin Vernon is, in many ways, the poster child for the indie/folk movement, though he's garnered more popularity than he likely ever imagined possible. His 2007 debut, "For Emma, Forever Ago" was famously recorded solo by Vernon in an isolated Wisconsin cabin. That sparse, minimalist debut led to an explosion of popularity for Vernon, leading to numerous festival appearances and collaborations with unlikely artists such as Kanye West. The "Blood Bank" EP released in the interim cemented both Vernon's trademark vocal layering style and the anticipation for another proper full-length.
"Bon Iver, Bon Iver" wasn't recorded in a cabin. It came up in a proper studio under the production supervision of Vernon, and the new capabilities available to him resulted in a more filled-out sound. Though the trademark shimmery guitar strums and layered crooning are still around, the introduction of proper percussion and horns can come as a surprise to the unready. The horn section on "Towers" fits right in with the typical Iver-esque layered soundscapes, and saxophone can be heard meddling about here and there all throughout. The new elements work best when integrated in the traditional Iver sound. The saxophone sounds pretty great when filling out a reverb-y guitar layer on "Michicant," for instance. While Vernon's experiments often pay off, it's hard not to hear the keyboards and wailing guitars on "Best/Rest" coming across like an '80s power ballad.
Perhaps most importantly, "Bon Iver, Bon Iver" sounds like a proper album. While "Emma" put Vernon on the map, it was intended to be little more than a demo, albeit an expertly executed one. If this album is meant to be Vernon's clear vision of the Bon Iver sound, Vernon is likely to see his popularity only continue to grow.

Pasta. Smothered in cheese and served with hot, garlic breadsticks. Sounds heavenly if you ask me. While it is nearly impossible to completely go without carbohydrates, I will admit my food pyramid could be a little more balanced. Between working at an Italian restaurant and being too tired and lazy to do much more than boil some water for mac and cheese, I eat pasta at least three times a week.
I had always thought that going on a low-carb diet would be too difficult; I loved my carb-heavy foods too much to give them up. Nevertheless I decided to give it a try, cutting out pasta, breadsticks and crackers for the
week. At first I was at a loss, I didn't want to eat salad two meals a day for a week, even though I do enjoy it. So I did some research and found lean proteins like salmon, eggs and chicken are low in carbohydrates.
In the beginning it was tempting to grab a breadstick at work after being in class all day and getting to my shift starving. It got easier; I would make a salad for lunch, and then try a new recipe for dinner, like honey-mustard salmon, which turned out to be pretty awesome. "Low-carb diets can be effective, but they are more of a fad diet," says Ann Chapman, registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "They are hard to maintain because you get tired of not eating grains."
While I would never want to give up carbs for good, it did make me think about my eating habits and it was definitely easier to work out without a heavy meal in my stomach.

How much do you know about the KU campus? Did you know there used to be swimming at Potter Lake? Or that Fraser Hall once looked completely different? "Glorious to View: the KU Campus Heritage Project" exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art focuses on the prior history of campus with a modern twist.
The exhibit runs through the end of the year and is a unique collaboration between the Spencer Museum of Art staff, Spencer Research Library and advanced graphic design students. It features Spooner Hall, Fraser Hall, Old North College and Potter Lake.
Each historic site has a dedicated panel designed by the students that features images from the University archives tying in old to new. The panels feature black and white photographs, color paintings, and text about each site. "These places have been alive for a long time. People have been walking the routes I take for almost 150 years," Chassica Kirchhoff, a graduate student from Springfield, Mo., says. Kirchhoff helped write the text for the panels.
This is the first time students have been able to work with the museum's staff to create something, rather than an exhibit of established pieces. "It's a chance for people to see real-time original graphic arts products, being made by students, and see how they bring history to the present," says Susan Earle, curator of European and American art at the Spencer Museum of Art. "Our hope is that seeing the history reinigorates students and gets them involved in campus."

'decade of dominance' is one of the bigger fallacies of my life. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If worse else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

The Jayhawk scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing," Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
Hill leads the Yellow Jackets receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.

“it's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK,” Keeston Terry, freshman receiver, said.

"Guys have to show up and make plays," Bradley McDougall, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."

WALKING THE RUNWAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK

Practice makes perfect; Photograph various subjects often
to improve your skills.
SNAP SHOT
SIMPLE TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
TERMS TO KNOW:
RULE OF THIRDS: think of the photo with a tie-tac-toe board drawn on it. You want to keep the subject of the photo where the lines intersect.
COMPOSITION: the way all the elements of the photo work together and how the shot is arranged.
NATURAL LIGHTING: a photograph taken using whatever light is being given off from the sun, rather than an artificial source, like the camera's flash.
DEPTH OF FIELD: how in focus the background of a photograph is
SHORT DEPTH OF FIELD: the subject is in focus and
the background completely out of focus
LONG DEPTH OF FIELD: the subject and the background are both in focus.
The fundamental elements of a photograph provide the foundation to build your picture on. Is the lighting good? Is the subject in focus? Did you crop the photo so it looks like they are cut off at the ankle? Make sure you keep the horizon straight; these are all things to keep in mind when setting up a shot. "It's important to know all the rules when it comes to fundamentals, because then you can tweak them, and make them your own," Havana Mahoney, a senior from Manhattan, Kan., and majoring in photo media, says. Then you can bend them, but still have the basics to begin with.
ce 1904
Lighting can make or break a photo. It's what will catch a viewer's eye and draw them in. When using natural lighting, you want to avoid the time of day when the sun is directly overhead, because it can be too bright and jarring." I like to catch dawn or dusk when using natural lighting, its not so harsh," Justin Bell, a senior from Gardner, Kan., says.
SHUTTER SPEED: the length of time the shutter of the camera is open, determining how much light is let into the camera.
Situations with low light should have a longer shutter speed.
Situations with lots of motion or bright light should have a shorter shutter speed.
APERTURE: the aperture is like the pupil of your eye. Depending on how big or small you make it, the more or less light is let into the camera.
ALL ABOUT THE LIGHTING
EXPOSURE: how much light is let into the camera based on the shutter speed and aperture. A photo that is overexposed looks washed out, and a photo that is underexposed looks too dark.
MANUAL
Hand
We've all done it before; taken a picture and thought, "That looks terrible!" Many of us don't have the time or resources to take a photography class, between classes, jobs, and countless hours of homework, not to mention workshops can be pricey. Here are some tricks to improve your technique quickly.
You can also do dramatic things with a flash at night, or use
FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS
a long exposure. At night, starlight can be used to make it look like the stars are moving, Bell, who is also a photo media major, says.
Matt Needham, a Lawrence-based wedding and portrait photographer, says lighting is the key to any photo. "It's what people will remember, if there's an interesting shadow or a lot of contrast," he says. Pay attention to the natural light available to you and then try supplementing with the flash on your camera to create different angles with the light.
A good portrait gives you a glimpse into the subject's life and personality. It tells a story about that person. "You want to look at it and feel something," says Laura Wolfe, Photographer and Studio Owner of White Lotus Photography, located in Lawrence. Spend some time with your subject and make them feel comfortable before you put them in front of a camera. You'll get a more natural expression, Wolfe says. Ask questions to get a sense of who your subject is, and what they are passionate about. "I sit down on the floor with the children I photograph and just play with them before I take their picture, so they open up and act more natural," Wolfe says.
GET TO KNOW YOUR SUBJECT
TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
Practice, practice, practice, "It's the skills the person behind the camera has that make the photos good, not how expensive the equipment is or how many megapixels the camera itself has," Bell says.
It's not necessary to have the most expensive camera available, if you are familiar with your camera's features and how to use them. Needham says to explore the Internet and watch tutorials on different techniques and how to use camera settings. "There is so much good information on the Internet, combined with the instant feedback of a digital camera that can really help you improve quickly, so take advantage of it," he says.

Students know the challenges of waking up for that 8 a.m. class. But some students — much younger students — understand a different struggle. These students, along with getting up early, must make their way from the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. In the morning, a group of 17 children woke up and shared two showers and two toilets along side 14 adults. After getting ready they went up stairs and waited with 40 more adults for breakfast, or walked to school and received a free meal at school.

According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.

The school district defines homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act, which includes families that are double-up or staying with family or friends.
The shelter began its Family Program at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 14 families with 24 adults and 24 children in the program. In 2010, there were 50 families with 67 adults and 83 chil-

SCENE AND HEARD // HASTINGS
> New places, new faces.
There's only one place in Lawrence where you can buy a smoothie, a magazine, a long board, jewelry, an iPod and clothing all in the same store. That store would be Hastings, and the list of things you can buy there goes on and on.
MUSEUMS
Located at 1900 W. 23rd St. behind Freddy's and right next to Cork & Barrel, Hastings is easy to miss if you aren't searching for it. One student who discovered Hastings last year is Chris Lindsey, a senior from Alton, Ill.

"When Borders closed, I wanted to find another place like it and Hastings is pretty close but with way more stuff," says Lindsey. "You can rent movies and video games and even buy used books to save yourself some money."
Hastings is a place where students can study as well. Tucked in the corner is a small coffee shop, called the Hardback Café, where people can gather, study or go alone to drink a coffee and indulge in a book.
"Hastings is a one-stop shop," Alex Berryman, video associate at Hastings says. "It's fun. You can get your coffee, grab a magazine or book, and read to your heart's desire. The best part is, if you aren't feeling books, you

Have you ever seen something so terrible you wonder how it could have possibly been made? How people could have been paid to put it together? "Tin Man" will make you ask those questions over and over until your eyes roll out of your head.
"Tin Man" is unbearably long. At almost five hours, it feels like watching paint dry. Deschanel is at her clunkiest and delivers lines like somebody who has no grasp of emotions. Cumming and Richard Dreyfuss have fun with their roles as Glitch and The Mystic Man (the
"Tin Man" is an unnecessary 2007 steampunk update of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Zooey Deschanel stars as D.G., a girl who doesn't fit in in her vague Midwestern town and dreams of a wonderland. She's swept into Outerzone (that's steampunk for "Oz") via tornado. There she meets her scarecrow, the non-scarecrow Glitch (played by Alan Cumming), her tin man, the non-tin man Cane, and her cowardly lion, for some reason named Raw. D.G. sets out to defeat her evil sister Azkadellia (an updated wicked witch) and reunite with her Outerzone parents.

The dialogue is awkward and the plot is convoluted, but worst of all, it's called "Tin Man" for seemingly no reason.

Saints Pub + Patio They'll even pick you up!
A
Photo by Morgan LaForge Drinks and a designated driver. After a night of drinking, Saints + Patio will give you a ride home.
Known for its made-from-scratch menu, drink specials and outdoor patio space, Saints Pub + Patio has finally made its way to Lawrence. With more than 47 televisions available for the sports enthusiast, Saints is the new place to be on game day, or any day.
Saints Pub + Patio is a sports pub that can only be found in two states, Iowa and Kansas. They're known for their outdoor patio spaces that have televisions embedded in the walls of the building, and also for their free shuttling system for guests to and from the bar. Saints is a trendsetter in the sports bar industry and is expanding with a goal to please customers everywhere.
Since opening September 1, Saints Pub + Patio has gained a lot of attention from KU students. Students not only view Saints as a new
restaurant and bar where they can socialize but also as a place for employment.
Daryl Green, a senior from Wichita, works at Saints and was hired during open interviews, which were held in late August. "I wanted to work at Saints because it seemed like a nice place and I had been looking for a bartending position around Lawrence," Green says. "The most exciting part has been learning everything about Saints Pub + Patio and knowing what their philosophy on service is."
The free shuttle system Saints provides is another reason for its popularity. It's an element that sets this bar aside from all the rest in Lawrence.
"We have a number that you call which is 785-856-2301, and it goes to a cell phone to where our shuttle guy will answer it. You say,
'Hey, my name is Drew. I need to be picked up at ___, wherever you are. We'll come pick you up, bring you to the bar, you'll have a good time and whenever you're ready, we'll give you a ride home. There's no drinking and driving," says Mike Reiner, owner of Saints Pub + Patio in Lenexa and the new Lawrence location. "It's not only good for us, but good for our guests as well."
Reiner reassures KU students that Saints' menu is college-friendly. "We give a lot of specials, on like Tuesday we have $1 sliders, so you can come in and spend five dollars and be completely full."
wick Fleer, a senior from Overland Park, has frequented the Saints in Lenexa and is glad there's finally one in Lawrence. "They have this sweet thing called a beer tower. It's this big tube, about two and a half or three feet tall, and they fill it with beer. There's ice in the middle and a tap on the bottom, so you can just sit it on your table and fill your cup. It's badass," Fleer says.
Pub + Patio, located at 2329 Iowa St. For those curious about Saints, Fleer describes it as a "mixture of Tonic and Applebee's."
"It's a sports bar where you can go to just eat and have a drink, or you can go there to eat a good time and party with your friends," he says. "It's like having the best of both worlds."
If you haven't already, check out Saints

STYLE REVIEW // FALL BACK INTO BOHO
> Get it while it's haute.
The organic and earthy vibes of the bohochic style are the ideal complement to the approaching autumn season. Boho-chic is a style that combines hippie and bohemian influences all into one category. The look is supposed to portay a carefree and calm character.
Staple items of a breezy boho fashionista include; a billowy top, flowing maxi dress and gypsy-style jewelry. A majority of the billowy tops are produced with a sheer cotton material to continue with the light-hearted theme. If you want to bring the boho to a new level then try suede heels with fringe.
I am ready to start my day.
The root of the fashion trend is nature. When selecting items for a boho outfit, look for earth tone colors and simple clothing pieces. Keep an eye out for authentic designs with intricate patterns and unique visual appeal.
Boho-chic isn't just a fall fashion fad, it represents a life perspective. The wardrobe conveys a laid back and open-minded outlook to others. Kick back with a fresh boho inspired flare and turn a new leaf with an easy-going perspective this fall.

STYLE REVIEW // STYLE FOR MEN
> Get it while it's haute.
After a summer of long nights and lazy mornings, it's understandable that the common theme for the last three months has been comfort. This being said, the Campanile bells have rung, the campus doors have opened and summer break has come to an end. So toss away those two week old, grimy gym shorts and cutoff tanks and let's make class a little classier this semester.
Comfort is key if you're sitting in a desk all day, but instead of the summer go-to gear, try a pair of khaki and a polo. Most clothing companies aren't going to sell you something that's uncomfortable (if it is you probably shouldn't have bought it) and being presentable in class will do wonders for your demeanor. Professors and faculty, as well as your peers, will respect someone that respects themselves, so take the time to get up, bathe and wear something that hasn't been sitting in the corner of your bedroom all summer.
Although there are those who have been cursed with the dreaded 8 a.m. class and want
to grab at every second of sleep they can snag, getting up early and doing more than rolling out of bed will really kick start your day. I'm not saying wear a three piece suit to class (although I commend those of you who do take part in that lost art), just simply dress to impress and remember; look good, feel good. So as you prepare for your various lectures and discussions this semester ditch the drawstring and wear something with a zipper and pockets, preferably wrinkle-free.

The Jahways scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

Anyone who ever said, "Rock is dead," has obviously never heard of The Runaway Sons. The guys from the high-energy punk rock band from Kansas City, Mo., like their rock n' roll "loud and fast."
The Runaway Sons have sold out Lawrence venues like the Granada Theater and the Bottleneck, but their favorite is still the Riot Room in Westport, Mo. "We love playing in Lawrence," says Jon Porter, lead guitar player and backup vocalist. "Some of the biggest shows we've played have been there."
rotowing the release of the band's first EP,
'Soy Español', they recently released their first music video, "Hacksaw Jim Duggan," earlier this year. They've perfected their sound, combining a little southern hardcore blend with the old Black Flag-style punk rock and some heavy vocals, guaranteed to get their fans up off their feet and dancing around the pit. The band has played with well-known artists such as The Damned Things and Thursday.
"My biggest influences are Queen, Alkaline Trio, The Who, The Bronx, and Glassjaw," says Jimmy Wing, lead vocalist. Although they don't have any full-length tours scheduled, they're still rocking the local scene and paying tribute to their fans in the metro area. "Music is music and we're all just looking to make others happy," says Wing. "The cliuses should be done away with. It's all rock n' roll."
The Runaway Sons have two shows coming up in October. They're playing at Solace Music Venue in Joplin, Mo., on Oct. 21, and the Riot Room on Oct. 25. Follow the guys on Twitter @TheRunawaySons.

Johanna Moon, a student at Cordley Elementary, leans on the front door of Lawrence Community Shelter early Thursday morning as she waits to go to school. There is a large number of families with children elementary age that are currently living here.

Students know the challenges of waking up for that 8 a.m. class. But some students — much younger students — understand a different struggle. These students, along with getting up early, must make their way from the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. In the morning, a group of 17 children woke up and shared two showers and two toilets along side 14 adults. After getting ready they went upstairs and waited with 40 more adults for breakfast, or walked to school and received a free meal at school.
According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.
The shelter began its Family Program at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 14 families with 24 adults and 24 children in the program. In 2010, there were 50 families with 67 adults and 83 children. So far this year, the shelter is serving 11 families with 14 adults and 21 children, 17 of which are in school.

MOVIE REVIEW // APOLLO 18
>Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between
What is so hard to watch that it makes you want to drip blood in your eyeballs while eating cute kittens just to make it stop? I don't know, but it's significantly better than "Apollo 18."
A secret final mission to the moon has ended tragically for all three astronauts, mostly because they had to fight aliens. Because there are aliens on the moon. The government tried to cover it up and failed, because someone found the secret footage and uploaded it to the always reliable Internet. Also, the Russians landed on the moon. That sentence might seem extraneous within the context of this review, but at least then I'm giving you a good feel for the movie.
By the end it appears the astronauts are ready to protect the world from both aliens and Russia. If an ironic "USA!" chant existed in fake 1972, then this would be an appropriate time for it.
The rapid editing is unusual for a found-footage film, and its voyeuristic feel doesn't create empathy for the characters. None of the characters seem real or even different from each other. This especially hurts the
APOLLO 18
3.4.11
film when it tries to get emotional toward its conclusion, but by that time it's fallen so far in a crater, nothing would help it escape. This voyeurism reaches its peak when the alien zombie astronaut, Nate, looks directly into one of the 300 cameras abroared the lunar lander and bashes it with a hammer; a symbolic gesture that echoes what's been happening to the viewer for the past hour.

Larysa Kondracki's "The Whistleblower" is an abysmal rarity. It's a conspiracy thriller lacking any real thrills. This grim, plodding indictment of the United Nation's handling of post-war Bosnia squanders the considerable talents of its cast and sends the audience out of the theater feeling anesthetized rather than enlightened. The 20-year saga of underage human trafficking in Bosnia is a tragic subject ripe for dramatization, but it deserves far better than this.
Rachel Weisz plays Kathryn Bolkovac, a plucky Nebraskan policewoman volunteering
for the international peacekeeping force in Bosnia only to uncover a flourishing sex trade. Weisz, essentially reprising her "Constant Gardener," succeeds in injecting the role with her usual heroic intensity. But the contrived script tries to reduce her struggle for justice into a simplistic crusade.
The film has no shortage of fine performers doing their best to overcome the material. David Strathairn radiates noble exhaustion as an Internal Affairs agent and a hagard-looking Monica Bellucci appears as a devious bureaucrat. The great Vanessa Redgrave, unfortunately, barely registers in a do-nothing role as Kathryn's mentor.
The bleak Romanian landscape where the movie was shot almost warrants a character mention of its own, infusing the film with a suitably dreary atmosphere.
Based on true events in the late 1990s, the film's subject matter would lend itself better to the documentary format, where drama is mined instead of manufactured. What happened to these young women is horrifying. The only moments of real power come when their suffering is laid bare.

CLEAN FREAK
The horrible roaring of the dreaded vacuum would occasionally wake me up. Not again; the vacuum was back.
Saturday mornings were for sleeping in and relaxing. But not mine growing up. My mom, my sister Haliy, and I were up at it, cleaning the house. Vacuums swept the clean carpet, dust cloths wiped the few particles of dust sitting on the end tables and shelves, and cleaners added a sparkle to the fresh bathrooms. My dad would sometimes help when he wasn't outside working in the yard, but my two brothers would never be caught cleaning the house. Oh, the special privileges of being a girl in my house.
When my sister and I were in junior high, we had even more special privileges. We ironed clothes, too, after we finished vacuuming and dusting – the whole family's clothes. My brothers worked at Hy-Vee so we had to iron dress shirts and slacks, which was the worst. Haily and I convinced my mom to pay us for our ironing because it was pure hell, standing for a couple hours at the ironing board with a hot iron, making sure we got every wrinkle out. I never thought the day would come when I would have more than one weekend away from cleaning the house.
Balancing crazy cleaning habits with a relationship
The day I moved away for college, I thought, "This will be great! No more Saturday morning cleaning because I have a housekeeper!" In Naismith, housekeepers clean rooms and bathrooms once a week. I didn't think it could get any better. Well, that was until I realized the housekeeper did not clean to my standards. The floors and sink were still dirty. I would bring the vacuum from the first floor up to the seventh, so I could do it my way.
I hadn't realized I was so finicky. I looked around at friends' rooms and they all seemed dirty. What was hair and make-up doing on and around the sink? Why were clothes on the floor? Apparently the dreaded weekly cleaning my parents made me do had turned me into a clean freak. But this was just a taste of what was to come. Four months later I met Zach, the guy who would become my boyfriend.
Zach lived in quite possibly the fifthiest house I had ever seen with six other guys.
The first time I saw his house, alarms starting going off in my head. As soon as I stepped through the door, my feet stuck to the floors. Trash bags were piled up in the living room, furry mountains of lint and dust filled the corners, and empty beer cans were strewn across the fireplace mantle. Was this for real? Could someone's house be that dirty? I was only two rooms deep and thought it couldn't get any worse. But it could. In the kitchen, the counters were piled withoodles of dirty dishes. I tiptoed through the house because I did not want to touch anything for fear bacteria would contaminate me.
clean freak took over and I started bringing his house up to my standards. I even organized Zach's closet and house. Naturally, his roommates were thrilled to suddenly have a housekeeper tackle the kitchen from hell.
During the tour of his house, Zach said several times, "I'm not like this. It's my roommates." And I thought, "Uh huh. Sure, that's what they all say." But then I saw his room and thought "OK, your room is not as bad as the rest of the house." Certainly it wasn't bad enough to make me run. Zach and I started dating in earnest, and I began spending more time at Zach's house. Gradually, my inner
Two years later Zach and I decided we would move in together. Once we did, though, I felt less eager to do all the cleaning. I thought Zach needed to pitch in. He was making the mess too. My suggestions that he help didn't go over well. I was annoyed week after week when I asked Zach to empty the dishwasher or vacuum, and he gave me the same old excuse. "I'm watching a show. I'll do it in a minute." That minute turned into hours, and I'd get pissed because I wanted our apartment clean. I continued to do all of the cleaning and Zach would occasionally help. But each week I kept asking him to help me clean our apartment.
Then one day, Zach brought me up short:
"You're not my mom." Ouch, I thought. I'm definitely not his mom, and I definitely didn't
want him to think of me as his mom. That was a clarifying moment for me. I realized I needed to meet him halfway, even if that meant the clothes were not folded immediately or the dishwasher not emptied for a day. I realized if I wanted to be in a relationship, I couldn't have everything my way. Once I backed off, Zach became more helpful. He started vacuuming, folding clothes, and picking up after himself. I learned to let go of having our apartment be as tidy as my parents all of the time.
I will not completely stop being a clean freak, but I've learned to compromise. If the bed isn't made one day, I'll let it be. If our puppy's toys are scattered across the floor, I'll leave them there for the day. If Zach doesn't pick up his clothes off the floor right away, I won't yell at him to move them. That's what relationships are about - give a little and meet in the middle, even if it's in a room that hasn't been cleaned for a week.

"We want to make sure they know how they can help and how they can be an advocate," said Heath. "And we want them to know its not just a women's issue. We want to make it okay for men on this campus to be able to talk about it seriously and try to help prevent it on our campus."

MOVIE REVIEW// SEVEN DAYS IN UTOPIA
>Hollywood hits, indie flicks, and everything in between.
With the recent lack of sports films, "Seven Days in Utopia" is a refreshing change of pace. Any sports fan, young or old, can appreciate the heartfelt message within this movie.
"Seven Days in Utopia" is the story of young golfer, Luke Chisolm (played by Lucas Black), who's just turned professional. Luke quickly crumbles under the pressure of the high expectations that his father's set upon him during his very first game.
He tries to escape this life and crashes his car in the small Texas town, ironically named, Utopia, population 373. Here Luke meets Johnny Crawford, a wise rancher, who soon takes Luke under his wing. Johnny says that just seven days in this town will help him get out of his golfing rut. In the end, Luke must choose between his new life and the life he has always known.
Based on David L. Cook's book, "Seven Days in Utopia" emphasizes growth not only on

The Jayhawks scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

we gave them the yen mating them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the layhawks.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing," Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Hill leads the Yellow jackets receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.
"It's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK," Keeston Terry, frehsman receiver, said.
Hill is the lone offensive leader from the 2010 Yellow Jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua

hes never missed a beat. Their rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game.
优
"Guys have to show up and make plays." Bradley McDougald, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."
Last week, the Jayhawks struggled to defend the pass, allowing Chandler Harnish to accumulate 315 yards through the air. Georgia Tech's option offense relies heavily on the run, which could tip the scales in favor of the
Jayhawks' defense that has been tough against opposing tailbacks, allowing Northern Illinois tailbacks only 58 yards last week.
"That is the whole crutch of

handling the option is that you have to be assignment oriented," Shealy said. "I think when you look at assignments, by nature it slows you down a little bit, and
we want guys playing free and fast and canceling gaps and pushing the ball to the sideline"

THE CAREER
Pursuing Love
Contributed photo
Summer love: Rafferty fell in love while working at a summer camp in Minnesota.
The water is still. Across the lake, the sun cuts through the dark pines that spring up where the water meets land. Was it a mistake to move here? Twelve-hour days spent clinging to a ladder, brush in hand, beneath a summer Minnesota sun is not exactly what I signed up for. Two months ago it had sounded like a great way to spend summer vacation. The opportunity to work with a dear friend and experience a new place seemed better than anything Kansas offered at the time, but I find myself missing home. These thoughts rock back and forth in my head, like the water softly lapping against the sailboats tethered to the docks.
The sounds of the Westwood worship band practicing for this morning's outdoor service scatter the thoughts of home from my mind. Down by the water a boy helps his young love in to a metal canoe. After finding her seat in the front, she tosses her straw bonnet to the belly of the canoe, letting her curls unfurl down her pepper skinned back. I watch their oars slice through the water propelling them through life together, and I am jealous.
"Excuse me, do you know anything about what is going on at the amphitheater this morning?" I turn my head and there she is. Her beauty catches me off guard. Answers to her question fumble through my head, but all I can think is how her eyes sparkle like diamonds beneath the summer sun. After finding a spot near the back of the crowd, I manage to give Kate the details quietly as the Sunday service begins.
Sitting on the grassy knoll beside her, I notice a blue fraying bracelet hanging from her freckled wrist and I imagine what it would be like to hold her hand. My mind begins to drift off into a sea of questions that swirl around this girl and her beautiful Minnesota accent.
"Would you want to take my canoe out with me?" Around us I notice people making their way to the parking lot, blankets in hand. "Sure, that sounds great," I reply in disbelief that nearly an hour had passed since we first sat down.
Sitting in the rear of the canoe I steer through uncharted waters listening to Kate. With each paddle we draw closer to the center of the lake, closer to each other. She spent the first month of her summer vacation in Costa Rica volunteering at a hospital, and is pre-med at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Want to drop the anchor and rest a little," she asks.
"OK," I reply as I toss the anchor over the side.
Sprawling across the boat, I begin to share my story. I tell her about my volunteering experiences in Cairo. I tell her about school at Colorado University and my plan to transfer to KU in the fall. She tells me about her love for water skiing and I tell her I've never been able to. We talk back and forth for hours.
Above us the stars shimmer against the iliac sky. Looking at my watch I can't believe it's nearly 7 o'clock. Kate reaches for the anchor suggesting it is time to head back to shore. Paddling toward the marina, I can't believe how much has changed in just a few hours. I never would have thought one afternoon, one person could turn my summer around. The stern scraping against the moss colored-rocks along the shore reminds me this is not a dream. Kate steps on to the embankment and steadies the boat as I make my way to the
front. Together we pull the canoe with tired arms along the paint-cracked boards of the marina floor. Reaching her slip, I bend down to tie the canoe to the metal cleats fastened to the wooden plank.
"I is there a special knot to tie this," I say. "I quit Boy Scouts before getting the knots badge."
"Nothing special," she replies, laughing. Finishing my knot is beside her on the edge of the dock, our feet dangling above the crests of splashing waves.
"Thanks for taking me out today. I really had a good time," I say. After an afternoon of conversation, suddenly I find myself tongue-tied.
"Jack do you like mischief?" she asks standing up.
"What do you have in mind?" I ask.
"Follow me," she replies darting up the
dock.
Before I can catch up to her she jumps onto a boat and down the stairs disappearing into the cabin below. Without hesitation I hop the railing and follow her down the steps in to the darkness.
"Where are you?" I whisper.
"Over here," she snickers holding a tan wicker basket
"Do you know who owns this boat?" I ask sitting down beside her.
"No, but that's what makes it exciting" she replies, opening the basket to reveal oranges, apples, and grapes wrapped in a red and white checkered cloth.
She breaks a grape from the stem and hands it to me. I continue to stare transfixed by the moon reflecting in her eyes. Inside I feel myself slowly losing control, giving in to the moment. I watch my hand slowly push her bangs from her eyes. I draw her to me, my hand quivering as our lips meet.
That kiss happened four years ago, yet I can still recall every detail. As that summer came to a close we worried what life apart would be like. I returned home a month before classes were scheduled to begin and two days later I knew. I knew that even if Kate was the only person I knew in Wisconsin, that was where I wanted to be.
The following three weeks were spent filling out forms and convincing my parents and friends that I was making the right decision. It wasn't until Kate and I later painted my bedroom that I truly knew I had made the right choice. Above my bed to accent the beige, she left a blue handprint. Beneath it she wrote, "I love you" in cursive lettering.
Unfortunately the pursuit of love is unpredictable and such was the case for us. After a year of dating, Kate and I felt that our lives were moving in different directions and parted ways. Even though the right decision was made, her absence left a void in my life that only time could fill.
Since then I have felt love's sting twice more, and while I would like to say it gets easier, the truth is losing love is always painful. They've each left fingerprints on my heart that I now carry with me through life. While at times it can be tempting to lose hope, I still believe if you pursue love with a sincere heart, one day you will find it. And so will I.

Students know the challenges of waking up for that 8 a.m. class. But some students — much younger students — understand a different struggle. These students, along with getting up early, must make their way from the Lawrence Homeless Shelter. In the morning, a group of 17 children woke up and shared two showers and two toilets along side 14 adults. After getting ready they went upstairs and waited with 40 more adults for breakfast, or walked to school and received a free meal at school.
"Kids are so adaptable. The stressors we see are getting used to a new school and the stigma that may come with the label 'shelter kid' or "homeless kid," said Jennifer Davis, the case manager at the Lawrence Community Shelter. "Luckily, so many of them are going to the same school that they

have their own support system. In the past, it would be just one new kid coming from the shelter. He or she would stand out a little bit more."
According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.
Davis has seen a dramatic increase in family homelessness in Douglas County.
The school district defines homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act, which includes families that are double-up or staying with family or friends.
The shelter began its Family Program at the end of 2008. In 2009, there were 14 families with 24 adults and 24 children in the program. In 2010, there were 50 families with 67 adults and 83 children. So far this year, the shelter is serving 11 families with 14 adults and 21 children, 17 of which are in school.

They gather on a Thursday afternoon, setting up their tables and canopies on the blistering black asphalt outside the Salty Iguana restaurant.
Local farmers, chefs and winemakers have posted signs at street corners advertising their produce, vittles and vintages. The few shoppers wandering around the parking lot inspect the merchants' goods.
A cornucopia of fresh produce and locally crafted goods rest on tables of the small farmer's market: Swiss chard, huckleberries, peach pie, boysenberry jam and homemade Merlot.
Freshly picked tomatoes sit on a table outside of the garden. The tomatoes will be used in the West Middle School's cafeteria or sold at a farmers market.

According to the Kansas Point in Time Homeless Count for Douglas County, a biannual report, the Lawrence school district counted 100 children ages K-12 who were homeless in 2009 and 149 in 2011, accounting for a 49 percent increase.

Students share ideas on stopping sexual assaults
KELSEY CIPOLLA

A student who approaches the Sexual Assault Awareness Week table on Wesco Beach can comment on one of the boards provided. Some students struggle to vocalize their ideas and experiences. A widespread problem on campus has been students' inability to openly communicate on such a serious and complex issue.
"I think it's important that we acknowledge that, yes it is a difficult subject, but it's something that is happening all around us and we are all affected by it no matter if we realize it right now or not," said Sonja Heath, assistant director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
Sexual Assault Awareness Week has traditionally been in April, but this year, the WRC chose to move it to the beginning of the year in an effort to reach new students at a time when they may be particularly vulnerable to attacks.
Students are still trying to make friends, adjust to the college environment and might be experimenting with drugs and alcohol for the first time, said Heath. The WRC hoped providing students with information about the issue up front rather than waiting until the end of the year would help them navigate potentially dangerous situations better, she added.
The main goals of the week were to increase awareness and educate the campus about sexual assault. Each day this week, volunteers had a table on Wescoe Beach set up where students could take a pledge to hold others accountable for their actions and try to put an end to sexual assault.
Students could also decorate bandanas in honor of a victim of sexual assault and learn more about what sexual assault is and what resources are available for assistance with a different
topic to focus on every day.
Heath said involving men in the discussion about sexual assault is an important part of the week.
On Tuesday, the topic was how alcohol consumption can create problems in sexual situations, particularly on college campuses. It also served as the focal point of a presentation at Hashinger Hall about consent and alcohol put on by the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
"One of the questions we were talking about out on Wescoe Beach was 'What can men do to prevent sexual assault?' he said. "I took that as, how can men educate themselves and how can men educate other men and hold other men accountable for their actions?"
"We want to make sure they know how they can help and how they can be an advocate," said Heath. "And we want them to know its not just a women's issue. We want to make it okay for men on this campus to be able to talk about it seriously and try to help prevent it on our campus."
Max Ayalla, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., and the vice president of the fraternity, said that the house typically hosts a rape prevention seminar at the beginning of the year, but when Sexual Assault Awareness Week was also moved to the beginning of the year, the fraternity saw an opportunity to participate in a bigger project.
Today, volunteers will discuss the importance of bystander intervention. The GaDuGi SafeCenter will also host two events over the weekend to raise awareness and money to prevent sexual assault.

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
A 14-year old girl went on a playground rampage with a hypodermic needle, stabbing 37 classmates, Puerto Rican officials said Thursday.
"She would stab one, run, stab another, run, like it was some sort of joke," Education Secretary Jesus Rivera Sanchez said about Tuesday's lunchtime attack on 12- to 14-year-olds at the Jose de Choudhens middle school in the town of Arrovo.
Health Department spokeswoman Margarita Casaldua said it was unclear if the syringe contained anything and further tests were needed to determine if it was contaminated.
Rivera said the girl first told investigators she found the syringe, but later said she stole an unused one while visiting a relative at a hospital and had planned to pierce her ear with it. He said it was not clear why she decided to attack her classmates.
LOME. TOGO
A court in Togo has sentenced one of the president's relatives to 20 years for his role in a 2009 coup plot in the West African nation.
Judge Petchelebia Abalo on Thursday sentenced former defense minister Kpatcha Gnassingbe, Gen. Assani Tidjani and Abi Atti to 20 years each. Gnassingbe is the half brother of President Faure Gnassingbe.
The court acquitted 20 other suspects, including another Gnassingbe relative, and gave eight others vavying sentences.
The president has been in power since his father, military leader Gnassingbe Eyadema, died in 2005 after ruling the small West African country since 1967. Faure Gnassingbe seized control, but held elections a few months later under international pressure.
MOSCOW
British Prime Minister David Cameron declared Monday that Russia and Britain must set aside bitter disputes over the poisoning death of a Kremlin critic in London five years ago to nurture new trading ties and help promote world stability in the wake of the Arab uprisings.
Cameron was in Moscow for the first visit to Russia's capital by a British leader in six years, meeting with President Dmitry Medvedev, and holding the first talks by any British official with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in more than four years.
Relations between Britain and Russia soured over the 2006 death of dissident ex-Russian security agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. Litvinenko made a deathbed statement accusing Putin of authorizing his killing.
Following their talks, Medvedev said frosty relations between London and Moscow were thawing.
Japan's Fisheries Agency said Thursday that the fleet harvested 49 minke, 95 sei and 50 Bryde's whales and one sperm whale during its three-month Pacific expedition.
Japan says it has caught 195 whales in the Pacific Ocean this season under a research program opposed by activists who call it commercial whaling in disguise.
TOKYO
Japan also hunts hundreds of whales in the Antarctic Ocean as part of its research program, which is exempt from a 1986 whaling ban.
Critics say the expeditions are a cover for commercial whaling because meat from the harvest is sold for domestic consumption.
Japan's annual whale catch has declined in recent years due to violent protests by conservationist groups.
FUNDRAISING
Cancer Center reaches goal, applies for NCI designation
The University of Kansas Cancer Center recently reached its goal of $61 million fundraised after a $500,000 donation from the Capital Federal Foundation in Topeka.
The new funding will help the University's Cancer Center in its efforts to apply for National Cancer Institute designation. The first of these efforts will start Sept. 25 when the Cancer Center submits a 600-page grant proposal and preparing for the NC's site visit.
"With the hard work and dedication of those at the KU Cancer Center, tomorrow's breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment can happen here in Kansas City, which is certainly exciting." Capitol Federal Foundation Chairman John C. Dicus said. "We are truly thankful for the opportunity to contribute to these advancements."
There are currently 66 designated Cancer Centers in the nation, according to the National Cancer Institute.
According to its website, the University's Cancer Center seeks to "reduce the burden of cancer by providing exceptional diagnosis, education, prevention and care."
Donations made to the University's Cancer Center will count toward the "Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas," a comprehensive fundraising campaign for the University, which is scheduled for public kick-off in April 2012.

New payment system might contradict previous statute
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH
jblakeborough@kansan.com
Members of AbleHawks, a student group for students with disabilities, question the legality of the Department of Parking and Transit in regards to metered parking in the Kansan Union parking garage.
A Kansas statute (Kansas Statute 8-1, 126) which covers parking privileges for persons with disability states that "["persons with disability] shall be exempt from any parking meter fees of the state or any city, county or other political subdivision."
"The key phrase is 'parking meters,'" Rodriguez said. "The parking garage doesn't have individual metered spot. It has a blanket fee to park in the facility."
Dr. Fred Rodriguez, the Vice Provost for the Office of Diversity and Equity, defends Parking and Transit's interpretation of the Statute.
the coin-operated ticket machines with a credit/debit card payment system, students who used parking placards in accessible parking spots weren't charged. With the new payment system, people who use the accessible spaces in the garage are charged $1.25 per hour like everyone else.
Vice president of AbleHawks, Elizabeth Boresow, and other members believe this is an unfair matter of semantics and toes the line of illegality. Questions are being raised over what constitutes as metered parking. The group claims that any place that registers the time you enter and exit, and charges by the hour, follows the parking meter concept.
Untilgaragerenovationsreplaced
Steve Ramirez, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title IX coordinator and equal opportunity specialist at the University, says that students with disabilities can park in one of the 475 accessible parking spaces on campus instead of the garage. Ramirez also encourages students to use the bus system instead of parking on campus themselves.
"The intent of the law is to not charge for accessible parking," Boresow said. "If KU wanted to honor the spirit of that law, they would not charge us to use those spots."
"For someone with a physical disability, it's all about distance," Boresow said. "Why and how can you tell them to park elsewhere when the Union parking garage is closest for them?"
Rodriguez says that he wants all students to know their concerns are important, but the institution has to prioritize which needs are addressed first. In order to help with that process, an ADA Review Task Force was created last spring.
According to the University's diversity website, the purpose of the task force is to "coordinate and facilitate the ongoing, systematic process for ADA review across campus."
Rodriguez says that the task force is an essential strong support in moving toward an all-inclusive campus but that students still need to address concerns.
"I don't know all the problems, I am not directly affected although I do see people in my classrooms who have a different perspective," Rodriguez said. "Students need to let us know if the system is working for them, otherwise how can we know?"
But does that mean all concerns students bring up are addressed properly?

Georgi Li, a sophomore from Overland Park, doesn't think that the system is as effective as the administration promised. When University staff have attended AbleHawk meetings in the past, Li says they didn't even take notes and usually follow up the next day with an email asking about the problems discussed.
The University's already tumultuous parking situation is potentially confounded by handicapped parking legalities.
"I'm not one to complain a lot,
but I think this is why there is a

disconnect," Li said. "If our complaints aren't even been written down, how can they be solved?"
Although Boresow appreciates the current interactions with the administration, she is concerned about future progress continuing.
"If someone stops pushing for it, it will be forgotten about," Boresow said. "For those in the disability world, it's sad but not a surprise that we are treated this way."

being damaged," Davis said.
The shelter receives two or three calls from families a day, looking for space.
"It's really crowded and really busy. It's a grave problem for the community. We don't have enough space in this building. Families get first priority, but then we have to push out individuals." She said.
The children of families looking for shelter are victimized in these situations.
"I think they're privy to a whole lot, and they're exposed to a lot of things I wish they wouldn't be, but that's the nature of the circumstances," said Catherine Bolton, a social worker and counselor at two elementary schools in Lawrence.
She said that there have never been this many children at the shelter. Her number one goal is for students to succeed in school, which means children achieving academic success at their grade level and creating a desire in parents to keep their kids in school.
Bolton drops off menus, makes sure the kids are in the after school programs and assists the family in a welfare system that is not "user friendly." More importantly, she cultivates relationships, which is critical in establishing trust and stability.
"Stability is a huge factor in helping families and children develop a comfort level with the school," Bolton said.
For example, the Salvation Army food pantry — a vital service for many of the homeless — require a photo ID, proof of income, proof of address, social security cards for each member of the home or an income tax return. "Imagine you lost everything and now you have to work all these systems and requirements," said Bolton. "People struggling like this are in survival mode, and it's hard to think creatively about how you're going to approach life."
sition, these important documents are often lost or misplaced. Bolton and Davis help families find these vital programs, a process that involves knowing where the services are provided and what services are offered through each program.
For many families in tran-
"There are a lot of families in this situation," Bolton said. "These are families that are struggling and are at the mercy of many systems."
This vulnerability puts families on the defensive, they feel "assaulted by the system," Bolton said.
Bolton's goal is not to do the work for those she works with but to help them acquire the skills that will help them become self-sufficient.
Surrounding all of these problems are questions of dignity and the role of community. Bolton said that often times issues of the homeless run into the NIMBY attitude — not in my back yard. This attitude contributes to neglecting homeless issues in the community, treating homeless people as if they were invisible.
"There's a lot of assumptions and conceptions and misconceptions," Bolton said. "This is a diverse community that is supposedly a welcoming community but on the homeless issue, I remain perplexed. If everybody is all about what they say they are, then why is it 22 years later we don't have a good shelter. Put your money where your mouth is."
A new shelter would provide more space where more homeless individuals and families could find shelter, along with space that could offer parenting, cooking and banking classes.
"It's hard out in the world. I think the world has gotten so much harder and meaner, People seem less compassionate, because everyone's busy trying to survive," Bolton said.
GARDENING FROM 1
in March 2010 after members of the Community Mercantile approached West school officials about the idea of a school garden.
After a few weeks of planning, the garden project was underway. The garden's start-up plan, which included removing a tree and building a tool shed, cost approximately $20,000. The Community Mercantile Education Foundation footed the bill.
Colin Dietz, a sophomore from Free State High and graduate of West Middle School, is among five students employed by the Community Mercantile to help with the garden.
"It was really cool," he said. "Watching it turn from a patch of grass into a garden."
THE PAYOFF
Siebert, who helped coordinate the school garden, said the project has produced roughly 1,400 pounds of organic food this season — an increase of more than 400 pounds since last year. She anticipates the garden will produce about 2,000 pounds before this season's end.
Siebert said that school garden programs such as West Middle School's help society in a variety of wavs.
"It's building a sustainable system for where our food comes from," she said. "It opens a lot of doors to building a better connection with your community."
While some of the garden's produce is sold, much of it is also used in West's school cafeteria.
Myron Milton, West's principal said his students have responded enthusiastically to the project by offering their help and enjoying the garden's yield.
Milton said that he's seen a considerable increase in the amount of students eating from West's salad bar, which uses a variety of produce from the school garden.
"It's been fantastic," he said. "We see a lot more students choosing those healthy options of fruits and vegetables that are grown here."
with a broad selection of food, including beets, cherry tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, watermelons and many others. Seven apple and two pear trees stand adjacent to the school's garden.
The garden provides students
THE PARTNERS
Last spring, both Sunset Hill and Hillcrest elementary schools began tilling soil for 3,000 and 1,500 square foot gardens, respectively.
Within a year, the "Growing Food, Growing West" project garnered such success that two other Lawrence public schools approached the Community Mercantile for help in establishing a similar plan. The idea soon blossomed into the Community Mercantile's "Growing Food, Growing Health" school garden project.
Joan Stone, administrative assistant for Sunset Hill elementary, said that the garden was almost mature enough for the school to begin using the food in upcoming weeks. She said that she expected Sunset Hill's garden would eventually supply a salad bar for students, including fresh tomatoes, green beans, radishes and cucumbers.
In addition to providing food, the Sunset Hill garden has also acted as an educational tool for students.
"The second grade class has gone out and watched the butterflies and insects in some of their studies," she said.
Many other school garden programs like West's and Sunset Hill's are sprouting up throughout Kansas, according to Bard Depew, child nutrition consultant for the Kansas Department of Education.
THE POSSIBILITIES
"I think there's definitely a movement going on," she said "People who weren't involved in it before are learning about it and realizing that they feel the same way."
She said that the garden programs at Lawrence public schools serve as a good example for other school districts in the state.

However, it seems Kansas' schools need little guidance when it comes to using nutritious food, according to data from the Kansas Department of Education.
While some think that cultivating and using locally grown food is a passing fad, Siebert, who began gardening with her mother at a young age, said she sees the trend in Lawrence continuing into the future.
Thirty Kansas schools have been recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture in the "Healthier U.S. School Challenge."

Established in 1971 by Petey Cerf, the Audio-Reader Network is a reading and information service for people who are unable or struggle to read conventional print because of blindness or other disabilities. Cerf began reading to residents in nursing homes and realized there must be a better way for the visually impaired to get information. A few years later, she started the Audio-Reader Network.

"We're sure to have a doozy to look forward to with this treasure he's penning" Sarah Palin wrote last
The Republicans' 2008 vice presidential nominee and former governor of Alaska made no new reference on her Facebook account to McGinniss' book, although Sarah Palin previously mocked McGinniss for moving into a rented house next door to the Palin home.

Real housewife spent evening with Journey's lead guitarist
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Few people roll like Michaele Salahi and her husband, Tareq, late of "The Real Housewives of D.C." and originally infamous for allegedly crashing a state dinner at the White House.
Depending on when a person checked in on the Salahi drama Wednesday, Michaele was either kidnapped, according to Tareq, or just fine, according to police. Then there was the part about Michaele running off with a guy from a rock band.
But more about Journey guitarist Neal Schon later. Seriously. After the police stuff, and before the Montell Williams stuff.
Tareq reported Michaele missing very late Tuesday night, telling law enforcement that his wife had been gone for six hours, the North Virginia Daily reported. Shed called him from a cellphone with an Oregon number, he said, to tell him she was fine and on her way to her mom's house.
He said that after talking to his mother-in-law, who according to TMZ told Tareq she didn't know what was up with Michaele, he feared a kidnapping. The former house-husband of D.C. told NBC that his wife's "cryptic" behavior during the call made him think she was trying to convey a message to him in code, the way they play-acted in the past in case either one were, you know, kidnapped.
"I swear to God," Tareq told NBC, denying that the kidnap report was a public stunt. "I'm missing my wife," he sobbed, breaking down in tears.
The Sheriff's Department in
"She seemed calm, was engaged in conversation, and assured the deputy that she had left the residence with a good friend and was where she wanted to be," authorities said. She allegedly didn't want her husband knowing where she was.
Virginia's Warren County then issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying essentially not to worry — officials had been in touch with Michaele and were confident nobody had been kidnapped.
Tareq Salahi told NBC a different story.
"I think she's being forced by, whatever this Oregon phone number is, she's being forced to say she's OK" he said. "She's been forced to say this to the local authorities."
But the best was yet to come.
The couple had frequently dealt with stalkers and death threats, according to Tareq.
It seems Michaele had actually run off with Journey lead guitarist Neal Schon in Tennessee on Wednesday, according to TMZ, which got confirmation from the band's rep that "nobody kidnapped her and they are in Memphis together." Mrs. Salahi and Schon

had even hung out together in the past, including with Mr. Salahi at a party at the Salahi family's winery. It was what the missus called an "intimate and passionate relationship," the celeb website said.
The drama around the nonkidnapping came just ahead of Sunday's scheduled auction of Oasis Vineyards assets — an auction related the winery's 2008 bankruptcy filing. Though the Hume, Va, winery is not on the block, bids can be placed Sunday in person or online on items including wine-making supplies, kitchen and catering equipment, trucks and tractors, more than 200 cases of various wines, and about 5,000 bottles of unfinished sparkling wine currently en tirage.

BEST ACTOR IN A DRAMATIC SERIES
By Chance Carmichael ccarmichael@kansan.com
For me, it's between Steve Buscemi and Jon Hamm. This is a difficult decision. Buscemi showed a tremendous amount of range as corrupt Atlantic City treasurer Nucky Thompson on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire," but Jon Hamm literally blew me away in season four of "Mad Men." Buscemi already took home the Golden Globe for "Boardwalk Empire," but he was up against "Mad Men" season three Jon Hamm. Season four Jon Hamm gave Don Draper even more depth
as he dealt with his divorce, trying to keep his new company afloat, and the death of his only real family member. "The Suitcase," the best episode of "Mad Men" to date, really puts both Hamm and co-star Elisabeth Boss on display.
BEST ACTRESS IN A DRAMATIC SERIES
In fact, I want to put my vote in for her as well. My colleague Lou
Schumaker has pointed out before that it seems like they weren't really sure what to do with Peggy (Moss' character) for quite a while, but both the writers of season four and Moss delivered a Peggy with purpose and a Peggy still struggling with being a career woman before that was even a phrase. Though the favorite in this category is Juliana Marguiles for her work on "The Good Wife".
BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Laura Linney's work on "The Big C" definitely deserves some accolades. Though Tina Fey has won this award in the past, and Amy Poehler is wonderful on "Parks & Recreation," they aren't given as many opportunities to play dramatic.
Best Actor in a Comedy Series Steve Carell should finally get
some recognition, and Alec Baldwin deserves to be put in his place for jumping ship on "30 Rock" so soon; although "Parks & Recreation" Nick Offerman really deserves this award, but he was snubbed harder than a cheating ex-girlfriend you see at WalMart.
TEST WRITING FOR DRAMA SERIES AND COMEDY SERIES
SERIES
Oh, and "The Suitcase" — that episode I mentioned above — deserves best writing for Drama and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that "Reaganing" ("30 Rock") was better than "Goodbye Michael" ("The Office"), which felt kind of helter-skelter throughout even though it ended beautifully.
BEST DRAMA AND COMEDY SERIES
POLITICS
So, Chance, what about best drama and comedy? As I said above, season four of "Mad Men" was definitely the best so far — better than "Boardwalk Empire", although it gave a valiant effort. If it doesn't win you'll probably see an ax flying through the skies of Lawrence Sunday night. "30 Rock" is good, but "Parks & Recreation" has surpassed it. The writing, the performances, the character relationships, and the jokes have elevated far above the crappy "The Office" knock-off it once was. This will never happen though. It seems the Emmy voters really only care about Sofia Vergara being foreign on "Modern Family".

Metaphor misconstrued natural disasters natural
Late last month, Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann indicated at a rally in Florida that the recent hurricane and earthquake on the East Coast might be a message from God. She stated that God caused these natural disasters to get the attention of politicians. Is this belief that God creates these disasters to get the attention of the people still a relevant explanation for disasters?
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
Shortly after making this statement, Bachmann renounced this as a serious comment by saying it was meant to be interpreted as joke or a "metaphor" I'm having difficulty accepting this as truth; she seems to dig herself into these holes time after time and crawl back out with further explanation. There are also times when she is just completely wrong-for example, the whole issue with mixing up the dates of Elvis' birthday and death.
Furthermore, while discussing the origins of natural disasters, Pat Robertson of the 700 Club claimed that the earthquake — since it was so close to the nation's capital — is evidence of the imminent end times. Robertson isn't in the running for political office, so he doesn't need to explain his statements to make a
majority happy. However, they are still irrational claims that are disrespectful to people outside of his beliefs.
Making God fit the structure of this nation is putting words in His mouth.Furthermore, to believe that God would cause disasters to get people's attention and punish the "wicked" is cruel. The idea of explaining things like natural disasters by saying God did it is arguably abused. Yes, there are examples of such scenarios in the Old Testament, but using that same logic to explain these current disasters lacks proof of relation to a higher power's wrath.
In these moments of tragedy, faith is an ample way to help people cope with loss and pain. Faith should be used to better you as a person. God should not be something we use to explain disasters or to use as a scapegoat
in to further our own agendas.
Bachmann used her belief in God to garner political support. The problem I have with this mixture of God and nationalism is that it hinders this country's ability to move past dogmatic ideology, which isn't viewed as truth by everyone. Asserting your beliefs
as the grounds the country should be run on neglects people outside of those doctrines.
For this country to progress we must disregard our personal convictions so that this nation as a whole can be suitable to all who live here. Even if Bachmann was making a joke, it was in poor taste for the fact that the disaster affected people's lives. I guess maybe I just didn't get the joke.
By all means, have your beliefs but don't press them on the entire nation in order to get your way.

Elevator installation needed, stairs problematic for some
Dear Colleague Letter skews male student rights
I would like to precede the content of this letter by affirming that I, as a red-blooded American man, am a feminist. Upon experiencing the feminist agenda, not the radical anti-male kind, but the feminism that preaches equal treatment not just for women, but people of all races, religions, and sexual orientations, I couldn't help but find myself subscribing.
The Campanile at the University of Kansas is a rich part of the campus's history. It is a World War II memorial, and every student gets a chance to walk through the main floor during graduation. Only a handful of people can actually say they have walked all the way to top of the building, being able to see and hear the massive bells being played. Climbing to the top of the tower, you have to walk up a narrow staircase with 110 spiraling steps. There is an elevator shaft, but the funds have not been produced
That being said, I am appalled to hear of the content of the Obama administration's new Dear College Letter that has been sent out by the Education's Office for Civil Rights. This letter requires that colleges and universities must obey its contents in order to receive funding. This DCL effectively takes away many constitutional rights of men while attending university. In an instance of accused rape, the DCL rules that a man doesn't have to be proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt", or even the more intermediate "clear and convincing proof."
to install an elevator. It's quite unfortunate that a person with a disability would have to miss out on such an experience because they physically wouldn't be able to make the climb. I feel that the University has enough alumni funding to take the necessary steps in adding a handicap accessible elevator, they just don't see it as a priority at this time. I am not physically handicapped, and no one in my family is either, but the simple things we don't think about or don't look at as a gift or privilege, we tend to take advantage of.
The concept of social justice can easily be broken down in one basic principle: equality. Equality that encompasses and protects every single person's human rights. When most people think of the rights of certain groups, naturally the first things that come to mind are usually race, religious groups, or gender. Groups that I feel get overlooked are those with physical handicaps.
Rather, men who are accused of rape on campus must be found guilty by "a preponderance of the evidence." That means that the disciplinary board only has to believe
that the accuser is 51 percent likely to be truthful. Also, the DCL strongly encourages universities to prevent the accused the right to confront his accuser, and appeals must be available to both parties, subjecting the man to double jeopardy.
— Adam Pfeifer is a Senior in psychology from Topeka
While I don't want to diminish the importance and seriousness carried with an accusation of rape, I would like to point out that this DCL is blatantly taking away constitutional rights of men. This is not part of an administration that should be celebrated. Radical feminist organizations widely-circulate that 1 in 4 women will be raped in her lifetime, while that number has been found to be closer to 1 in 10. These same organizations have also said that false rape accusations account for 2 percent of rape cases. Again, the true number is closer to 41 percent! With numbers like this, why are all male college students suddenly losing their constitutional rights?

KANSAS QUIDDITCH LOOKS TO SOAR OVER TIGERS
1
ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN
The Kansas Quidditch starters are ready to take on the Missouri Tigers this Sunday at 3 p.m. This will be their first match of the season.
HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
Rivalry. Competition. Broomsticks. The Kansas quidditch team is preparing to face off in their Border Showdown against Missouri this Sunday at 3 p.m. This is the team's first match-up of the season. The match marks the start of the second season for Kansas Quidditch.
The Jayhawks finished 7-3 last season. This will be Missouri's first intercollegiate match. Both Kansas and Missouri teams are unofficial members of the International Quidditch Association. Kansas Quidditch is an officially recognized University club team.
The Jayhawks have been practicing twice a week since the beginning of the school year to prepare for the season. They bring out their brooms, set up the hoops, lace up their running shoes and begin to play outside of the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
The team has been working to increase their speed and aggressive style on the field.
"Last year we played mostly a passing and speed game. This year we have more physical players so we are able to do all three now so we will be able to compete more efficiently," said Doug Whiston, a junior bludger.
Last season the team traveled to Wichita to play in the Wichita State Tournament in October. They placed third of six teams. At the time, the Kansas team had only been in existence for a couple of weeks.
The team's second tournament was the Hogsmead Tournament in Fayetteville, Ark. The Jayhawks placed third out of eight teams. The team plays a different style than many other collegiate quidditch teams.
"We spread the field out by passing a lot more. Other people just force their way into the goals," said Hai Nguyen, a junior chaser.
This weekend will be a test for the
Jayhawks. They have not seen Missouri play before, while the Tigers were in the stands watching the Jayhawks play in Arkansas. Even with the Tigers' prior-scouting, the Jayhawks feel like they still have the advantage because of their experience level. When the Kansas team got started last fall they were not prepared for the quick-paced nature of the sport.
"Right when the whistle blows they will figure out just how fast the game is going to be and it will catch them off guard"; said Nguyen.
Junior seeker Granville Hare said that Missouri has reported that they are bringing 15 athletes to town this weekend. The Jayhawks have a 40-member team and plan to use it to their advantage. The quidditch substitutes are the same as indoor soccer so that athletes can sub in and out when they are too tired.
"We are going to have a line of people that are going to sub-in for each position," Hare said.
The team's offensive goal for this weekend is to avoid the opposing beaters and keep their passing consistent as they head to the hoops.
"Chasers sneak around the hoops so you can hit them with a pass and get an easy 10 points," Whiston said.
The jayhawks work in a zone defense with the keeper. They try to limit the opposing team's passing game by having the two beaters covering the opposing team's chasers. At the same time, the jayhawk chasers work to steal the ball from the opposing chaser with the outaffle.
Hare will be making his debut this weekend.
"I've got a few butterflies, but this is Missouri's first game so I think we'll have an easy win here," Hare said.
The Jayhawks take on the Tigers Sunday at 3 p.m.

OFFENSE
The Jayhawk offense has increased their speed during the past year. They have also modified their style of play to become more aggressive on the field. Chaser Hai Nguyen will be a major factor for the team with his speed and knowledge of the game. He helps the Jayhawks get the quaffle early in the game.
DEFENSE
Nguyen
The Jayhawk defense will be lead this weekend by keeper Granville Hare. This will be Hare's first official match. His size and strength will play to the Jayhawks advantage as he defends the hoops. He is a multifaceted player being able to defend as a keeper and also play offense as a chaser.

HOW TO WIN
Stay on your broom at all times. The player that falls off their broom must drop any ball that they possess and return back to their team's hoops.
Players should avoid being hit by the bludgers or else they follow the same procedure as falling off their broom to renter play.
Chasers move the quaffle down field and make attempts to throw it through one of the three hoops. For every shot made the team is awarded 10 points.
The seeker's sole goal is to catch the snitch and end the game. On top of ending the game, the team that catches the snitch is awarded 100 points.
OFFENSE
CHASERS
The offense will be driven by the three chasers. They are designated by wearing white headbands. They work to score by throwing or kicking the quaffle, a volleyball, down field. When the chasers throw the quaffle through one of the three hoops the team is awarded 10 points.
SEEKER
The keeper is designated by a yellow headband. They end the game by catching the snitch runner and pocketing the snitch, a tennis ball inside of a sock hanging at the back of the snitch runner's shorts.
DEFENSE BEATERS
The defense will be driven by the two beaters. They are designated by wearing black headbands. They throw bludgers, dodgeballs, at other players to disrupt the flow of the game. The beaters act as the chasers' first line of defense against the opposing team.
KEEPER
The keeper is designated by a green headband. They are the last line of defense for the team. They protect the hoops and try to knock out any incoming quaffle throws.

QUESTION MARKS
Kansas
Kansas Quidditch team has more experience on the field than Missouri but the Tigers has watched the Jayhawks play for an entire weekend tournament. A major question will be whether the team can stay focused on the game rather than letting the emotional rivalry between Kansas and Missouri come through. At the same time the Jayhawks could be inspired to break their scoring record from last season of 140-30.

OFFENSE
The Jayhawks' offense absolutely torched the Northern Illinois and McNeese State defenses, bitaling 981 yards of offense in their first two games. The Jayhawks have effectively used four running backs who have averaged nearly five yards a carry. The offensive line has blocked well, and the receivers have been blocking downfield with aggression! If they continue their strong running ways, the passing game will open up as well, making the Jayhawks' offense extremely dynamic and tough to stop.

DEFENSE
The defense continued to struggle last week, giving up 42 points to Northern Illinois. The Huskies had 462 yards of offense, passing 315 of them. The secondary also struggled to defend the pass against McNeese State, creating concerns about the Jayhawks' pass defense. Fortunately for Kansas, Georgia Tech is a run-heavy offense. Their rush defense has not had the same struggles as the pass defense, as the linebacker position is a strength for Kansas. The defensive line has also played well, but has suffered injuries leaving them with little depth. It will be up to the Kansas rush defense to stop Georgia Tech.

After propping doubters wrong in week two, the Jayhawks are flying high taking their 2-0 start to Atlanta. The offense has been nearly impossible for their opponents to stop, and after their last-second victory, the Jayhawks have at a lot of confidence. They should be feeling good heading to Atlanta.

The only aspect of Kansas' defense thus far that has been remotely successful has been their run defense. The Jayhawks have given up 121 rushing yards per game, which is light compared to the 320 passing yards they have allowed per game. This week will truly be a test for the rush defense, as Georgia Tech is averaging 339.5 rushing yards per game. If the Kansas defense can contain the run against Georgia Tech like they did last year, they'll be in great shape to head back to Lawrence 3-0.

BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ..
The Jayhawks can slow down the Yellow Jackets' rushing attack. The offense should be able to score, but it won't matter if Kansas can't stop the effective triple-option offense Georgia Tech runs. If Kansas can force Georgia Tech to throw the football, they should get stops, and if they get stops, they'll win the game.

Georgia Tech runs a triple-option offense that offers a great running game and an explosive passing game. In their first two games this season, the Yellow Jackets have scored on their first play from scrimmage. Their offense has produced five plays of 70 yards or more this season, more than any other football conference has this year. The Yellow Jackets can also sustain long drives, scoring touchdowns on drives of 16 and 17 plays this season.

MOMENTUM
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are creating some buzz around the nation after putting up 112 points and 1,258 yards of total offense in their first two games. The Yellow Jackets' triple-option offense, which led the nation in rushing last season, has begun to put up similar numbers through the air. Georgia Tech is receiving votes in the rankings polls. A convincing victory over the Jayhawks could be enough to launch it back into the Top 25, a spot it hasn't been in since losing to Kansas last season.

Darrell Valentine
YEARS: 1978-1981
Perhaps the greatest defender in school history, Valentine had a nose for the ball and linebacker legs. On Sept. 24, he will likely leave most of the playing to the younger participants. However, under former coach Ted Owens, Valentine was always on the floor, even as a freshman. Valentine's leadership was a reflection of his indefatigable work ethic and athletic prowess.

- Fifth in school history with 1,821 points (first among guards) and 609 assists
- First in school history with 541 free throws and 336 steals
- His jersey number, 14, hangs in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse
ON TO THE NBA
One of Valentine's most dramatic moments at Kansas was a rough one. Valentine and the Jayhawks faced Wichita State in the Sweet 16 of the 1981 NCAA Tournament. The game held special meaning to Valentine, who was playing for the first time against his hometown school. Kansas led Wichita State 65-62 with 1:15 left in the game. Valentine bricked a 1-and-1 free throw, and then with the lead cut to one with 28 seconds remaining, blew a lay-up. Wichita State won the game 66-65, its first victory against Kansas.
THESE DAYS
Valentine was the 16th overall pick in the 1981 NBA draft, and spent nine seasons in the league as a player. He served mostly as a defensive ace for the Blazers, the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 8.7 points, 5 assists and 1.5 steals per game for his career.
DEFINING MOMENT
Valentine works with his former team, the Trail Blazers, as director of player development. He works with younger players to ensure that they make the right decisions. With many kids jumping to the NBA after one year of college, Valentine helps ease the transition by sharing advice on responsibility. Some rookies don't know what to do with millions of dollars handed to them in a flash. Others don't understand the meaning of offseason preparation. Valentine is there to pass on his wisdom to guys like Nolan Smith, Elliot Williams, Luke Babbitt and Wesley Matthews.

Wayne Simien
YEARS:2001-2005
Simien was born a Jayhawk. He rooted for the basketball team as a kid, played in basketball camps in Lawrence and was an easy recruit for former coach Roy Williams. He was a scoring and rebounding force in the paint, and his number, 23, was retired on Jan. 29. On that day, legendary broadcaster Max Falkestein summed up Simien's legacy best.
"On the 150th birthday of our state, we honor a young man who is native born, native bred, whi loves Kansas and is one of the nicest guys that you'll ever meet."
ACCOLADES

- Third team All-American selection (2004)

- 13th in school history with 1,593 points
- Seventh in school history with 884 rebounds
- Fourth in school history with 38 double-doubles
- His jersey number, 23, hangs in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse
THESE DAYS
ON TO THE NBA
Simien was the 29th overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft, and spent two seasons in the league as a player. He never really cracked the Heat's regular rotation, but showed promise as a young power forward with a storied history in college basketball. He averaged 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per game for his career. But the NBA wasn't Simien's calling.
Working as a minister, it seems, is where Simien belongs. After Falkenstein spoke on the day of the jersey's retirement, Simien made his faith clear to a packed Allen Fieldhouse.
He currently works with the University as a religious advisor and mentor of student-athlete development, and as a minister with Called to Greatness, an organization that he founded. The organization features basketball camps and leagues, while also teaching young athletes the importance of religion.
"I really hope my legacy here will be not just someone who grabbed a bunch of rebounds or scored a bunch of points," Simien said. "But I hope that I will be remembered as someone whose life was miraculously transformed by Jesus Christ."
DEFINING MOMENT
---
As a kid growing up in Leavenworth, Simien dreamed of days like March 12, 2004. On that day, Kansas trounced Missouri 94-69 in Dallas in a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal. Simien was nearly perfect, scoring 31 points on 12 of 14 shooting, grabbing 12 rebounds and sinking all seven free throw attempts.
"There's no shame playing in the NIT," former Missouri coach Quin Snyder said after the game.

THE MORNING BREW
Don't forget about baseball just yet
The seasons are changing. As the autumn winds howl across
winds howl across the American landscape, the weather manifests into reasonably cool conditions, and the aesthetically pleasing scenery becomes a sight to behold. Autumn's partner in crime — football — comes knocking at the door. The inseparable pair issues a warrant for your attention, but one sport refuses to allow football to budge; baseball
While the start of both professional and college football is on the minds of sports zealots, baseball seems left in the dust as it enters its post season. It's no secret that baseball's appellation "America's pastime" is a thing of the past because football has taken over the throne as America's king of sports. Late-season baseball should not be discounted though, even if your favorite baseball team is eliminated from playoff contention.
By CJ Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
Let's face it, baseball lacks an adrenaline rush and a pugnacious punch that football possesses, but autumn baseball can
be special. Some pennant races provide unpredictable, compelling drama that is sometimes shadowed by the gargantuan guys of the gridiron. Even when baseball games are played during the week, the media and sports fans primarily discuss the upcoming week in football and other football related news. Football is that one girl you meet who you simply cannot stop thinking and talking about, and baseball is the girl who you have spent time with, but you have had enough of.
Enjoy football, but stay committed to baseball.
Currently, the division races aren't as close as many fans would hope, but some teams like the 2009 Detroit Tigers and 2007 New York Mets have made
it interesting by suffering catastrophic collapses after leading their division comfortably.
Minnesota Twins fans fondly remember the 2009 season when they snatched the American League Central division crown from the Detroit Tigers in the memorable 163rd game, which was also the last regular season game in the Metrodome. Detroit lead the division for 146 days, but earned the dubious distinction of becoming the first team in Major League Baseball history to lose a division title after leading the American League Central by three games with four games left to play. Detroit lost 16 of its last 27 games while Minnesota won 18 of its last 27.
the Mets' self-destruction project.
In what is regarded as one of the worst meltdowns in Major League Baseball history, the New York Mets lead the National League East division by seven games on Sept. 12, 2007, but then faltered by losing 12 of its last 17 games. The Philadelphia Phillies clinched the National League East on the final day of the regular season, and thus completed
I would be remiss if I omitted the Yankees- Red Sox rivalry. The animosity between the two franchises has defined baseball. In 1978, the Yankees and Red Sox played in a tie-breaker game to determine the winner of the American League East. Bucky Dent, a scrawny, ordinary Yankees shortstop, made an extraordinary play when he unexpectedly slammed a two-out three-run home run in the top of the seventh inning over the Green Monster. Bucky's blast catapulted the Yankees to a 5-4 victory and Yankees eventually claimed its 22nd World Series championship. Caution to everyone: If you meet a long-time Red Sox fan and you mention this to them, expect a large dose of profaunity.
Late regular season baseball has pulled many tricks out of its sleeves, and even though it seems unlikely that this year's pennant races will be scintillating, don't assume anything.

McCants named assistant coach
ldrummond@kansan.com
The men's golf team has a new assistant coach, Brian McCants, who begins work on Sept. 21, will help run practices and assist in the recruiting process. He replaces former assistant coach John Handrigan, who took an assistant coaching position at the University of Florida after spending two seasons at Kansas.
McCants previously coached men's golf at Division II School, Newberry College in Newberry, S.C. In six seasons under McCants, the Newberry Wolves won three South Atlantic Conference Championships. He also led the team to the NCAA Division II National Championship quarterfinals in 2011. McCants received the award for South Atlantic Conference coach of the year four years in a row, beginning in 2008.
Coach Kit Grove said McCants is both an aggressive recruiter and a hands-on coach.
"Brian brings almost a decade of experience as a head coach to the program," said Grove, in an athletics department news release. "He came very prepared to the interview. He knew quite a bit about KU and its history and was very enthusiastic. We look forward to having him become a part of the KU family."

COMMENTARY
Kale Pick clicks at receiver
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/thematgalloway
No quarterback recruited to the Kansas football team wants to be the next Kerry Meier.
Yes, Meier is one of the all-time great Jayhawks in program history. The quarterback-turned-wide receiver holds school records for receptions in a season (102) and in a career (226). His legendary college career earned him a position on an Atlanta Falcons team rich with talent at wideout.
But quarterbacks do not aspire to be legendary wide receivers. They only become receivers because of a failure at their original position. This was the case with Meier, who infamously lost his starting quarterback job to an under-classman named Todd Reesing back in 2006.
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: NAISMITH,REMINISCED
Check out Kansan.com for more sports coverage including volleyball, women's golf and more.
This is also the case with junior Kale Pick, who lost his hold on the starting quarterback position last season to freshman Jordan Webb after less than one full game. While it may be a bit premature to call Pick the second coming of Meier, one can't help but admire the way he has adapted and overcome adversity in his conversion to wide receiver.
KANSAS

3
Pick had every right to transfer to another school after his hard luck season last year. Named the starting quarterback out of camp, Pick was yanked from the position during the season opener against North Dakota State. He had a mostly pedestrian line, going 13-for-24 with 138 yards and an interception before being replaced. But the box score does not tell the full story. Kansas receivers dropped three third down passes that day and accelerated Pick's downfall.
It is hard not to make comparisons to Meier, who teamed up with the man who replaced him (and Dezmon Briscoe) to rewrite the Kansas football record books. For now, Pick will not be rewriting any record books, but he does deserve a tremendous amount of credit for transforming himself from an injured backup quarterback to a symbol of perseverance.
Pick had quite a party in his premiere last Saturday against Northern Illinois' defense in the 45-42 win for the jayhawks (2-0). He finished with three receptions for 55 yards. He also scored a pivotal 36-yard touchdown with only 17 seconds left in the second quarter, which turned out to be almost as important as junior D.J. Beshears' game-winning grab.
A symbol of perseverance, and a key cog in a Kansas offense that has looked very, very familiar to Jayhawk fans thus far.
Coach Turner Gill would continue to use Pick here and there in awkward, momentum-killing wildcat formations and in mop-up duty. That was, until Pick broke the fibula in his left arm in the fourth quarter of a 42-16 blowout victory against New Mexico State on Sept. 25.
Pick stayed, despite a mentally and physically exhausting 2010 season. His commitment to Kansas football over his dream of playing quarterback may be one of the most important decisions made by any player this summer.
KANSAS AND MISSOURI FACE OFF SUNDAY IN QUIDDITCH PAGE 6
CHRIS BRONDUN/XANSAN Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb delivers a pass down the field during the first half of Saturday night's game against Northern Illinois. Webb contributed 21 completions for 281 yards and three touchdowns in the Jayhawks 45-42 victory.
When he returned to action on Nov. 20 against Oklahoma State, he surprised many by lining up as a wide receiver and catching passes from the man who replaced him two months prior. He would finish the season with three receptions, 18 yards and a Kansas fanbase that would have completely understood if he decided to transfer to another program.

FOOTBALL ON THE ROAD
FEELING THE NOISE
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
When the Jayhawks have taken the practice field this week, it's gotten unusually loud.
In preparation of their first road game of the season against Georgia Tech the coaching staff has pumped simulated crowd noise into the Jayhawks' practice field speakers.
"The crowd noise that we have is louder than any crowd I've ever been in," sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said.
✓
Pumping in the unusually loud crowd noise allows the coaches toget a preview of how their team will react when thrown into a hostile environment. They want the players to hear screaming when they call out their adjustments or reads. They want their players to learn the nonverbal signals as well, as it all becomes crucial on game day.
"Communication is paramount on every single play," wide receivers coach David Beaty said.
With strong communication, Kansas hopes to avoid any mistakes that could be very costly.
"One of our big goals is to make sure that we limit presnap penalties, and we can eliminate that with great communication, nonverbal communication before the ball's actually snapped into play," Beaty said.
Wide receiver tends to be a position in which communication is particularly important in a road game, because of the receivers' pre-snap distance away from the quarterback. The Jayhawks have very little in-game experience at the receiver position, outside of junior D.J. Beshears and senior Kale Pick.
Play calling has evolved into a more complicated and crucial element of college football games. The assistant coaches and the players use a series of hand signals on the sideline to communicate in tough
road environments.
For the Jayhawks, it's no different. And to practice their knowledge of the signals, repetition is the way to go. It's up to the players to decipher between the signals to watch for and the signals to ignore.
"It looks like a barrage of people
with hand signals going everywhere," Beaty said. "Some are live, some are not."
While the Jayhawks have prepared for the crowd noise, they can't fully prepare for the added pressure of being on TV against a bigger school.
"There's a lot of people that look forward to being on TV and playing in front of a national audience or maybe playing against a BCS school," coach Turner Gill said.
So when the Jayhawks take the field at Georgia Tech Saturday, they'll just have to hope they've
done enough to teach themselves how to play just as they would when the lights shine bright at Memorial Stadium.

Florida to be toughest opponent yet
KANSAS

RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
The Kansas soccer team knows this weekend will be a major measuring stick for the season.
Senior forward Kortney Clitton jukes past an Arkansas defender in the box Sunday afternoon at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Last season, Clitton was the Jayhawks' Most Valuable Player.
"I knew going into the conference schedule this matchup would be very good for us", coach Mark Francis said. "Plus wed be further along from the beginning of August when we first started."
Kansas (6-2) battles their highest ranked opponent thus far on Sunday in No. 8 Florida (5-2), a challenge it is hoping will show the college soccer landscape how much improvement its made this year.
The key to the Jayhawks' success against the Gators starts with shoring up their back line. That progression began last week on Sunday when they secured their first shutout of the year against Purdue.
"I feel like we need to just play like a team and stay organized," sophomore defender Brittany King said. "We tend to play individually, but now we are playing like a team and communicating."
"They are very physical, so if we're physical and play as a team
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
we'll be fine," King said.
"We definitely going to have to take the opportunities we get and capitalize on those," senior forward Kortney Clifton said. "Against a team like Florida we're not going to get as many as other teams we've beaten."
Kansas also understands that when it gets a chance near the goal, this weekend it must convert.
A sign the Jayhawks might be ready to take down a top-notch opponent in their steadiness in the starting roster.
Having few variations in the lineup continues to help Kansas build chemistry in its first line of players.
"The whole starting 11 needs to continue to keep gelling and the guys that aren't starting need to be pushing to give us some good minutes," Francis said.
Clifton is one of those players whose contribution is now off the bench. She's logged minutes in seven of eight games, but after starting the past three years it wasn't easy giving up her place in the formation.
"It's definitely a big change for me, but I think it would be a different story if we weren't doing so well," Clifton said. "With the team we have out there I'm proud of everyone and the work they've
been doing."
For the first time all season the Jayhawks have Friday off, which could be an advantage in the later minutes on Sunday. Florida is playing at Missouri on Friday before arriving in Kansas.
Still, the lavhawks know it will
take a massive effort in order to win this match.
"Our main thing is to stay tight on them because they like to run at you. They are a very physical and fast team," King said. "I feel like we need to keep the whole team organized and talk with our
keeper."
The game is 1 p.m. Sunday at the jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Q&A
Forward ruled ineligible
KORY.CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Kansas forward Braeden Anderson has been rufed ineligible to play for the University this season, Kansas Athletics announced Friday.
I will do this for you.
Anderson
The 6-foot-8 freshman from Alberta, Canada was ruled a partial qualifier for an athletic scholarship by the NCAA but was not approved by the Big 12 conference. Anderson attended multiple high schools, which often raises questions with the NCAA clearinghouse.
According to NCAA rules, potential student-athletes must have ACT or SAT scores that match his or her core class grade point average on a sliding scale. The higher the grade point average, the lower the standardized test score has to be. The lower the grade point average, the higher the test score must be, etc. Completion of 16 core courses in high school as well as a minimum grade point average are also required to become qualified. Athletes become non-qualifiers or "partial qualifiers" when one of the requirements is not met.
Partial qualifiers are not able to receive a scholarship their first year, practice, or participate in games their first year. They are able to receive need-based financial aid, but according to Big 12 conference rules, all partial qualifiers must be approved by the conference. Anderson's case was denied.
Edited by Joel Petterson
"I am very disappointed but I know Braeden is even more crushed" coach Bill Self said in statement. "He has worked very hard to be in a position to come here. I certainly understand the uniqueness of his academic record coming from Canada. I understand the NCAA ruling and I understand the Big 12 policy that states that the faculty athletic representatives must approve, but I am extremely disappointed in the outcome.
"Braeden has been great since he arrived here. Our goal for the immediate future is to give him as many options as possible moving forward so that he can make the best decision that fits him so he can get on with his academic career."

Chancellor chit-chat
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH
jblakeborough@kansan.com
In efforts to increase conversation and information sharing between the student body and University administration, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has agreed to a series of "Fireside Chats" with The UDK to support a more direct line of communication.
Chancellor Gray-Little sat down with reporter Jessie Blakeborough to discuss the current campus issues, future projects and student concerns.
Q: The University was ranked 101 by U.S. News, which was an improvement from last year, but
still below the University of Missouri. What is the administration's reaction to this?
A: There's always a big discussion when the rankings come out and it's always new if you go up a point or down a point. I think there is a little change, whether or not this is a trend we will know in another year or two if it continues. Certainly, it is our goal and aspiration to continue to improve in the rankings because the rankings are often important in a way that we are evaluated by other students. So, it is important to look good. We have plans to improve our rankings, not to "beat Mizzou".
Q: The administration is currently undergoing a lot of reorganization. Can you describe that process, specifically the reorganization of Student Success?
A: I think that the reorganization, overall, is part of a greater effort. Our interest is in having a stronger recruitment program, strong orientation and then a series of programs that support them as they proceed through the University. And in the reorganization, the effort is to make sure we have programs that align with those goals. Some of the areas that currently report to the Provost admissions and enrollment have been moved in that direction and have a closer tie with the senior administration in the provosts office in the academic area. The focus is on stronger recruitment and stronger support for students, which is closely related to our ranking.
Q: The strategic plan, Bold Aspirations, was announced Sept. 14, could you please describe what this means for current and future students?
A: The reason to do a strategic plan is to have a guide for the things you want to focus on. We spent about a year now in a planning process, in some ways it's been more than a year. The idea is to say these are the areas we are working on, these are the priorities we have, these are the things we are going to try to
shape and these are our investments and that's the reason for planning.
The plan that we unveiled focuses on the quality of undergrad and graduate education, on research productivity, engagement, and resources. I think those are exactly the things we need to focus on as a University both to fulfill our mission and also to affect our rankings. It is not solely for rankings, it is to make sure that we are as good as we can possibly be and obviously those things affect our rankings.
Q: Where are we now in the plans?

Increased funding helps improve research
CLAIRE MCINERNY
cmcinerny@kansan.com
Dan Simon spends part of his school days in a lab in Haworth, running experiments to create a topical gel that could prevent Chlamydia outbreaks.
Simon, a junior from Overland Park, could not conduct this type of research without a $4,500 grant from the American Society for Microbiology. Research funding from both federal grants and private donations at the University has reached a record high this year, with more than $224.6 million from federal grants, and $153.2 million from Kansas University Endowment Association.
The Endowment Association uses the money to put toward building renovation, better faculty, and to help the University
Endowment money affects students in several parts of their education, whether it is through scholarships for students or new facilities. Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, director of communications at the Endowment Association, said that 80 percent of land at the University was donated by alumni, with the most recent addition being West Campus.
get accredited by the National Cancer Institute. The University of Kansas Medical Center has been working to raise $61 million to be a designated cancer center by the NCI and endowment has contributed to this cause.
Leigh Stearns, a professor of geology, works with a West Campus research organization and grant money helps her do her job.
Stearns is a glaciologist at the center for the Remote Sensing
of Ice Sheets (CReSIS), an organization that studies the behavior of glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica. CReSIS is working with a $20 million grant this year and the additional funds aided in the hiring of Stearns. CReSIS combines the efforts of engineers and scientists to develop tools to penetrate through ice sheets.
"When we need more information about something about the ice, we try to build it ourselves," Stearns said. "This is a really great opportunity to foster a collaboration between scientists and engineers to create the next generation of these instruments."
Stearns' grant money also pays for her to travel to Antarctica and Greenland every year to study glaciers first hand.
Stearns is one of the many
professors at the University who spend a lot of time on their research projects. Steve Warren, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said that the University makes research a priority for professors. Professors working on research are allowed to teach fewer classes during the semester, because it not only benefits the project, but everyone on campus.
"If you're at a research university, you're exposed to the cutting edge of the development of knowledge," Warren said. "The faculty members you're working with are the people creating the knowledge, the new knowledge that drive science and scholarship."

Police in southern Mexico say they have found the bodies of a federal congressman and his driver. Moises Villanueva and the driver had been missing since Sept. 4.
MOSCOW, RUSSIA
Guerrero state police chief Ramon Almonte says residents saw the badly decomposed bodies in a river in the town of Huamuxitian and alerted police on Saturday.
Russian tycoon Alexander Lebedev has punched a fellow billionaire on a television panel show after a discussion on the financial crisis degenerated into petty name-calling.
Lebedev, a former KGB operative and owner of two major newspapers in the United Kingdom, wrote on his blog that property developer Sergei Polonsky had earned the clobbering by behaving abusively throughout the recording of the program.
KABUL. AFGHANISTAN
Three NATO service members died in separate attacks, and a patrol of Afghan and international forces killed more than 10 insurgents during a raid on a major narcotics laboratory in southern Afghanistan, NATO said Sundav.
The alliance said one service member died in an insurgent attack on Saturday, while the other two were killed by bombs on Sunday. All three died in the south of the country.
GAUHATI, INDIA
A strong earthquake shook northeastern India and Nepal on Sunday night, killing at least 16 people, damaging buildings and sending lawmakers in Nepal's capital running into the streets.
The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.9, struck at 6:10 p.m. local time and was felt across northern and eastern India, including in the capital of New Delhi. It triggered at least two aftershocks of magnitude 6.1 and 5.3, Indian seismology official R.S. Dattatreya said. He warned more aftershocks were possible.

Website helps visa process
International students at the University of Kansas may be affected by a new federal initiative to process all student visas through one new website.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton announced the initiative and the launch of the Study in the States website Friday afternoon in a conference call from the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Secretary Napolitano called Study in the States a "one-stop shop" for student visas, visa renewals and information about visa qualifications. Study in the States is designed to be a combined website for various federal agencies to make the visa and regulation process open and easy to use for members of academia, the public and prospective visiting students and professors.
Morton said the intent of the initiative was to encourage more than 1.1 million international students, visitors and their dependents now in the United States to stay while improving the integrity of the nation's immigration law enforcement. The 10,000 educational institutions in the United States now hosting international students, he said, made the it "the finest place in the world to study."
He said foreign students contributed to that tradition and to the nation's cultural diversity. Morton said one goal of the website was to help foreign students remain in compliance with visa laws. He said it was part of a greater federal initiative to move the visa regulation process entirely online, replacing the current system, which uses both paper and electronic documents.
The Study in the States website will employ a variety of social media tools, such as Facebook and Twitter, disseminating relevant visa requirements and information to international students, exchange visitors and the academic community. It will also feature a blog with posted videos, public service announcements, relevant news, requirements, helpful tips and success stories.
Morton said that recent policy memos from his department had directed enforcement to focus on criminals and national security threats, but that international students were not exempt from any applicable immigration laws.
Napolitano said the website would be translated into multiple languages, but did not offer details about which languages, or how many.

Kansas Union turns into a jungle
JOHN GARFIELD
jgarfield@kansan.com
The Kansas Union ballroom was transformed Sunday afternoon into a lush jungle landscape riddled with Olnec ruins, treacherous traps, tumultuous trials and, of course, temple guardians, at least in the minds of those attending the Legends of the Hidden Temple competition put on by Student Union Activities.
Though SUA tried to have the event last year, it was canceled because of inclement weather. This year, rain threatened to cancel the event again, but the enthusiasm of the staff and participants preferred it be moved to the Union ballroom so that 64 two-person teams could compete in the style of the '90s Nickelodeon game show.
"It was a childhood dream, competing in this," said Kailee Karr, a freshman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Though competitors stood to gain
$150, $100 or $50 dollar gift cards for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place respectively, the spirit of competition was much more deeply rooted in nostalgia. This made the obstacle courses, gladiator-style battling and runs up the slippery rockslide all the more intense for competitors reveling in memories of their youths.
"It was getting heated. There were some 'bows thrown', Karr said.
Based on the average undergrad's age of 18-22, they would have been between 2 and 6 years old when the show went off the air in 1995. Stephanie Joffe, a sophomore from Chicago, used to watch the show "all the time" and used her position as the assistant coordinator of film and media for the SUA to both plan the event and to encee it.
"We are probably the last of our generation to watch the show, so we thought it would be fun to bring back something that everybody would remember" said Joffe.

16-year-old boy found guilty of murder
The Kansas City Star reported Friday that a Wyondotte County jury found a teenager guilty in the April 23rd killing of 16 year-old Johnson County high school student Ryder Spillman. Stephen Reed, 17, of Kansas City, Kan., was found guilty of second-degree murder. The jury had been deliberating since Thursday and delivered the verdict Friday afternoon. According to The Star, the killing followed a dispute between two rival Johnson County high school factions. Reed's cousin, Shane Reed, 18, previously pleaded guilty to juvenile charges for his role in Spillman's death and was sentenced to 18 months in juvenile confinement. Reed is being tried as an adult and will be sentenced October 21st. He will face between 10 and 55 years in prison.

CHANCELLORI 1
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2011
Δ-
A: We are just in the process of a curriculum revision, the process started two years ago. You have to start out with a conversation about what every student ought to be able to know or do and you define which courses they need to take to be able to do those things, which ones currently meet those goals and which ones do not. This takes a lot of time. By the time the new requirements are in place the current junior and senior classes will have graduated.
Last year, we had 124-hour requirements. But with the approval of the Regents, we were able to reduce that to 120 hours. The general education requirement is a part of that. Right now, it is 72 hours and other universities have a much smaller requirements which means the students, after they do the general education, have a lot more flexibility on selection of courses, double majoring in a way that means they don't have to add up semesters at the end of their fourth year. Hopefully, it will be more modern, easier to understand, and allow students flexibility, while at the same time making sure that the basic knowledge and skills are covered.

Citizens of Osceola, Mo. have demanded the University to change its mascot, which they claim has ties to domestic terrorism, in reference to a Civil War raid led by Sen. Jim Lane in 1861. What is the University's reaction to this news?
A: We considered their suggestions yesterday from 5:00 p.m. to 5:01 p.m. It has been taken into consideration, we are not planning on eliminating the lajayhawk name from our mascot. I hope the people of Osceola have some worth while things to do. And we take that suggest with the spirit in which it was sent.
Q: The anti-abortionists with graphic images have gotten a lot
of students talking. How was the group able to be on campus?
A: There are guidelines about things we can ban or allow on campus, and while some of those displays may be personally offensive to people who walk by, they do get cleared. This issue comes up on many campuses. But unless there is something that violates a university, town or state law or is something that is harmful to others in some way, we have to be very careful about preventing someone from expressing their point of view. Which groups you let on and don't let on becomes a difficult issue. There are students who want that on campus.
Q: Groups like these often bring about discussions of freedom of speech and expression. What would you say to address some student concerns in this area?
A: I think we have to be very careful in what we screen out. There is obviously a group of
students on campus who support this kind of information and there are other activities and issues that those students don't want that others do and I think one of the hallmarks of a university and university community is the opportunity to see and hear different points of view and some times we are not going to agree with everyone's point of view but it is important to have these discussions about these different ideas.
Q: With more talk of the Big 12 splitting up, is the University considering other options?
A: Obviously, this is a time of instability — the appearance and reality of it. We have to say that while the Big 12 is our preference, we have to look at other options in case the Big 12 doesn't stay together. We are still working on maintaining the Big 12 and on thinking about what we will do if it is no longer here.
Q: How important is geography
in terms of which conferences the University can seriously consider joining?
A: I think geography is relevant, but less than it used to be in terms of conferences. The benefits of Big 12 is the geographic coherence. Any of the other conferences that we could go to means a lot of traveling for our students athletes which will mean additional kinds of cost and time. The distance, primarily, is a concern because of the wear and tear on the students and faculty and how much time it will take to travel.
U: With classes picking up steam, what advice do you have for students with advising concerns?
A: First, they should go to advising appointments. I think the main thing I would say is that surely it is up to the University to provide a well-trained staff, but then it is up to our students to not wait to the last minute and to go an extra time (as a opposed to going the least possible). It requires students being there on time and early enough in the semester. I suggest going early and often.
Q: Is there anything else that you would like the student body to know?
A: This is the time we will be submitting our applications to the National Cancer Institute designation, this is our first opportunity to do it. We will be submitting it next week. In terms of additional faculty and research programs and the capability that has increased in having newer cancer treatment available for people in this region and close to where they live - this has the potential for significant treatment impact, research impact and economic impact for the University.

Drivers fuel popularity
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Every day, bus drivers provide an instrumental service to students and the community as they travel routes to and from campus.
Unlike other public transit systems, KU on Wheels finds itself carrying more passengers. This is due a great deal to the University going fare-free for the last three years. Students now pay a flat fee as a part of their student fees.
This led to KU on Wheels, in association with the City of Lawrence, winning the 2010 Federal Transit Association Ridership Award. The award was based on ridership increasing 138 percent in the first year of implementation, according to the Kansas Public Transit Association.
As a result of the increased ridership, the busing system helps traffic flow and makes campus greener.
"Buses keep cars off the road," said Kaiser. "Because of how full we run the buses, it helps with traffic congestion and is more environmentally friendly."
Although the KU on Wheels bus drivers who make this system possible are not allowed to speak to news media, Danny Kaiser, Assistant Director of Parking and Transit, provided insight into the duties of the drivers.
"Students are a livelier group," said Kaiser. "The energy is infectious, and they are a more enjoyable group to work with."
Dealing with a different type of population than most public transit workers are used to — young college students — drivers enjoy the change of pace.
Students also enjoy the energy that some bus drivers show while making their routes. This makes for a more enjoyable riding experience.
"Some drivers are more outgoing, and students pick up on that," said Kaiser.
Besides ensuring the safety of passengers and maintaining a schedule, drivers also face the challenge of
educating new KU students on how the transit works.
"Sometimes the only experience on a transit system students have is on a yellow school bus," said Kaiser of the University's freshmen.
While providing a safe, convenient way to campus, bus drivers also take much pride and enjoyment in their jobs.
Charity Workman drives a route between The Grove Apartments and the Lawrence Campus during the week and enjoys the variety of work included in her job; although navigating an enormous vehicle through Lawrence every day isn't without some challenges.
Driving on campus is the most difficult part of the job, she said.
route schedule.
"You have to be super aware," Workman said, "There's students and traffic everywhere. Your situation changes constantly."
"You have to have good judgment, because if you make one mistake, you're going to hit someone or something," she said.
As a bus driver, Workman has to have a great deal of patience to
Workman also appreciates the connections she has been able to make with others.
"The friendships are rewarding, not just with the students, but with the other bus drivers," said Workman. "I have a lot of fun."
Although she is not affiliated with KU on Wheels, Workman still cooperates with the other bus drivers on campus.
"Even though we work for different companies, we've become a team," said Workman. "If you don't work together, the bus system would fall apart."

Monarchs migrate through Midwest en route to Mexico
Butterfly tagging event draws 500 to Baker Wetlands
MARY EDWARDS medwards@kansan.com
Margaret Stratley, a Sioux Falls, S.D., resident, reaches her 10-foot butterfly net up into a tree in hopes of participating in one of nature's most incredible phenomena.
Every fall, millions of monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico for warmer weather during the winter months. On their way, thousands of butterflies stop in Kansas to refuel on the nectar of the yellow Biden flower found in the Baker University Wetlands, located along 31st Street between Haskell and Louisiana Streets.
Monarch Watch and the Jayhawk Audubon Society, a nature conservation group in Douglas County, host the Monarch Tagging event every year, allowing groups of students, families and butterfly enthusiasts to participate in tagging the monarchs before their trip to Mexico. The event, held Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., drew about 500 people.
Orely "Chip" Taylor, a professor of ecology and founder of Monarch Watch, stressed the importance of the tagging event.
"Everybody needs to get out and experience the wild," Taylor said. "We need to get out and enjoy nature, and this is one of the opportunities to not only enjoy and participate in this incredible phenomenon, but also to contribute to science by learning about these butterflies through their tagging."
Stratley has been following the butterfly migration for many years and finally made the trip to Kansas to help tag butterflies, something that she has always wanted to be a part of.
"I always say you can learn a lot from a butterfly," she said. "The environment is so sensitive. One change in a plot of land can flip-flop the balance of a butterfly's habitat and can change that area forever."
Conservation has been one of
the main goals of Monarch Watch ever since the group began 20 years ago. Some of its biggest efforts have been to conserve the milkweed and nectar needed for butterfly migration and development. In the conservation effort, the group sells Monarch Waystation Seed Kits for $16 on its website. The kits includes a variety of seeds for plants essential to monarch development as well as a guide on how to create a monarch waystation.
However, many groups attended the event to learn about butterflies and to simply enjoy nature at its best.
"I think, especially for girls, it's important to get them out of their comfort zone and to get them out into nature," said Mary Mason, a Lawrence resident and Girl Scout Troop 1553 leader. "They need to experience things they may not have been able to experience otherwise, and they need to get into volunteering for a good cause."

Ohio station launches 'Rock and Recovery'
AKRON, Ohio — Throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s, the phrase "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" was a common mantra among young music fans and artists.
But in the 21st century at least two of that cliche's elements are well known to contribute to the destruction of lives and families, making the longtime exhortation less of a declaration of lifestyle and more of a warning of the potential pitfalls.
On Thursday, Akron radio station WAPS-FM introduced Rock and Recovery, a high-definition Internet radio station that is offering a few decades worth of rock, along with some Adult Album Alternative tracks and a dash of Bob Marley - but minus the drugs and alcohol references, and interspersed with positive messages, affirmations and testimonials designed to help music lovers who are in the midst of recovery.
"It's really a texture and tone we're going for that is positive and is free of those kind of references that would be disruptive or a distraction to someone who is really just trying to concentrate on getting through their day and making the most of it," said Hart, a 35-year veteran of the radio industry. "So there will be Eric Clapton but it (will be) the recovery Eric Clapton, there is Joe Cocker but the recovery Joe Cocker."
Garrett Hart, creative content director for Rock and Recovery and WAPS' other HD-streaming station, KidJam! targeted to 8 to 12 year olds, said that the station doesn't simply cut out songs and artists that mention drugs and alcohol.
In addition to the music, which Hart says will maintain a balance of good, positive and upbeat tunes
without sliding into treacle, Rock and Recovery's programming will also include affirmations, testimonial recordings by people who want to remain anonymous and comedy bits by and for recovering addicts.
The concept for Rock and Recovery came after the success of KidJam! which recently celebrated its first anniversary. Hart and WAPS general manager Tommy Bruno were looking for another niche concept to fill up the space on their HD bandwidth, and realized that among the city's local brands such as Goodyear, Akron is also the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The pair also studied a 2010 Community Needs Assessment completed by area hospitals that found that mental health issues and alcoholism affect 40 percent of the local population With the expert help of area addiction and recovery organizations they came up with Rock and Recovery and gained immediate financial and support from local organizations such as founding partner the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADM) Board, Summa Health System, Glenbeigh Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Clinics and others.
"It adds an element to the channel that keeps it upbeat and forward moving because we also don't want to drag down and get too deeply serious with stuff because it can be distractive and turn into a downer," Hart said.
Both Hart and Bruno said that while gathering information and potential sponsors they received many votes of confidence and encouragement.
"We didn't even finish our
The excitement and enthusiasm of health care and other professionals "gave us a sense that we were on the right track and we also got feedback from them on what to add and they have really helped to craft this to make Rock and Recovery into more than just we play some nice songs and say some nice things to people," he said.
pitch and they were saying 'How soon can we have this? How can we get involved in making this happen?' Hart said.
Ideally, Rock and Recovery will become part of a recovering addict's support system.
"It's not necessarily for those that are falling down the path but those that are trying to pick themselves up and have gone through a program like Oriana House or Greinbeich and they need some support," Bruno said.
"The goal here it to be a supplement. When they leave a recovery session or meeting, we'll be one of those pieces they use to get through the day," he said.

EDITORIAL
Freedom of speech is an inherent right of all people in the University of Kansas community and the United States. This includes popular speech, whether it's right to debate abortion or chalk students' opinions on campus.
Free speech applies to unpopular protests
It's a right that's protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and it allows healthy discussion while bringing positive change to a nation. It doesn't matter what you believe in, in this country, you have the ability to express your beliefs verbally as long as it doesn't directly harm someone.
Last week's anti-abortion display from Justice For All in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall sparked conversation about whether the graphic displays of aborted
fetuuses and images supporting anti-abortion views were necessary as students made their typical class rounds on campus. While Justice For All is a national pro-life organization that claims to use dialogue to spark discussion on the dangers of abortion, many students expressed dismay that the graphic images weren't a platform for discussion, but rather a spark for bashing a prochoice position.
Many wanted the displays gone, and would like to prohibit the organization from expressing a dissenting opinion from their own.
Personal opinions aside, the University community must recognize the First Amendment rights of this group to set up displays and graphics on campus.
Members of Justice For All did not violate any University codes or policies with their displays. They have as much of a right to be on campus as a group advocating a less divisive and more popular belief.
This nation was built on unpopular opinions - a limited minority of American colonists supported the Declaration of Independence when it was drafted. Also, the United States wouldn't have such a strong, united pro-choice movement if it weren't for an unpopular voice in the mid-1900s, the women's right movement, changing the perception of abortions.
In a 1977 court case, the American Civil Liberties Union - a national organization dedicated to protect freedoms -
decided to support the rights of a neo-Nazi group to demonstrate in a town in Illinois. In the process of winning the case, ACLU lost major funding and support from its Jewish constituency base. Unpopular opinions, or in the University's case displays have freedoms that must be protected, even at a costly price.
These First Amendment freedoms also extend to the student body. Last year, rules were changed for chalking on campus. Now, only student organizations "registered with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center are permitted to chalk on the property of the University."
This policy forces students to be a part of a club or organization in order to chalk. A
restriction like this runs counter to a university as a bastion of free speech. The University can and should enforce other measures of the policy that govern the type of chalk used, but not restrict a student's speech based on membership in a student organization. There is no reason a student who wants to express a belief or idea should be denied chalking as a medium for that expression.
You shouldn't discriminate people's freedoms based on their actions, just like you can't favor one group's rights over another based on a popular belief.

PROTESTS
Civil disobedience doesn't always work
In June, capitol police officers threatened to arrest Lt. Dan Choi and other LGBT rights activists who were peacefully protesting outside the capitol building in Topeka if they did not dispose of the potentially dangerous weapons in their hands.
By Kelly Crosby
kcrosby@kansan.com
These "weapons" were American flags.
It isn't difficult to see that the officers' concerns had little to do with the actual flagpoles themselves. Even if American flags, symbols of patriotism, were somehow a display of potential violence, this issue did not come up until this specific group was demonstrating outside the capitol building.
Had it been an anti-immigration group or in the a pro-life demonstration in the same location, I have a feeling American flags on flapples would not have been an issue.
Because of this treatment by the capitol police and the discrimination it implied, the Kansas Equality Coalition and the Kansas National Organization for Women found a way to respond—again, peacefully. They had a pro-LGBT rights rally on the capitol steps again, and this time, they brought flags without poles.
But if our free speech is tampered with, we have ways to address the issue and fight back.
There are various methods of peaceful protest, some considered effective, some considered ineffective. Sometimes a method of protest that seems peaceful to one person may be termed violent by another. In the U.S., as long as we are peaceful, our speech and assembly are protected—that is, unless a situation like Dan Choi's protest occurs.
In Syria, peaceful protest has not been protected. The government has ordered troops to respond with
violence to peaceful demonstrators. Over 1,700 people have been killed since January, according to various human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
In Egypt, peaceful protest brought down a regime. But now, more anti-Mubarak protestors are demanding the former president be handed the death penalty swiftly. Protestors who once used peace are now turning to violence in response to a political figure who implemented so much violence against those protestors to begin with. The climate in Egypt is not conducive to a fair trial for Mubarak. With that in mind, the question is whether this form of violence, the death penalty, is legitimate, and whether its legitimatization makes it acceptable.
In the rest of this opinion series on protest and peace, columnists will explore various methods of protest, the cultural implications and sources of these methods, what qualifies as peaceful, and whether different methods are successful.
It is our hope that these discussions provide a back drop for further conversation on what we view as peaceful in the United States and in what ways we can make effective change through protest.

Republicans value office over progress
Creon, the tyrant in Sophocles' tragedy 'Antigone', offered a surefire way of assessing politicians' characters.
"You cannot know a man completely," Creon said, "his character, his principles, sense of judgment, not till he's shown his colors, ruling the people, making laws."
Luke Brinker
lbrinker@kansan.com
In the nine months since Republicans ascended to the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and pared down the Democratic edge in the U.S. Senate, the GOP has provided a window into their core convictions. What we've seen disgraces the party that ran on a platform of "Country First" in 2008.
Much as the Republicans' attempts to derail Obama work to the detriment of the country, it's only through the prism of McConnell's statement
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the GOP Senate leader, famously stated heading into the current congressional session that defeating President Barack Obama in 2012 was his party's top priority. While Obama's foreign and domestic policies are essentially those of a 20th century Eisenhower Republican, it's not too surprising that in today's tea party-dominated GOP, his ouster trumps all other concerns – reviving a torpid economy, investing in education, and fixing a health care system that the World Health Organization pegs at 37th in the world.
that GOP grandstanding and obstruction on the economy begins to make any sense.
The unfolding debate over Obama's $447 billion stimulus package will test the mettle of both Obama, who has all too often folded to GOP pressure, and congressional Republicans, whose "jobs, jobs, jobs" mantra contributed to their 2010 victories. Of course, we aren't supposed to call Obama's jobs proposal a "stimulus," even though stimulation is precisely what this sagging economy needs. The shortcomings of Obama's 2009 stimulus of $787 billion - which many experts predicted would not match the size of the crisis - apparently discredits the very notion of economic pump-priming by the government. That, at any rate, is the Republican narrative. Too timid to defend the necessity of robust government, many Democrats long ago conceded the debate.
What's particularly ironic is that most Republicans understand that government policy actually can revive consumer demand, provide jobs to the
legions of new college graduates and unemployed, and put us on the path to long term deficit reduction. (More paychecks mean more tax revenues, which in turn reduce the deficit.) When President George W. Bush pushed his 2001 tax cuts through Congress, he argued that putting money in people's pockets was essential to boosting the nation's economy. The same logic lies behind Obama's proposal for a payroll tax cut, job training, and infrastructure investment.
Former McCain economic advisor Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics forecasts that the Obama plan will lead to an extra two percent of economic growth in 2012. And that's exactly why Republicans will stonewall the president's jobs agenda.
One Republican staffer offered this frank assessment to Politico: "Obama is on the ropes; why do we appear ready to hand him a win?"
More likely than not, the GOP will do everything in its power to block Obama's stimulus. Two questions arise: Do Republicans care whether they increase the ranks of the jobless as they try to bring down a presidential? Most important, will Obama have the moxie to call their bluff, now that the opposition has revealed its colors?

ATLANTA - In a game that looked like a firefight at the outset, the Jayhawks ran out of ammunition.
After keeping Kansas within a touchdown in the first half, the offense seemed like it never emerged from the locker room after halftime, getting shut out and amassing just 45 yards and two first downs in the third quarter of their 66-24 loss to Georgia Tech.

Instead, Miller and sophomore running back James Sims ran up the middle twice to put the offense in a third and long. On third down, pressure forced sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb to scramble from the pocket and he tried to force the ball to junior receiver Kale Pick, but it was bated away and the ball fell harmlessly to the turf.

In the third quarter, that catch wasn't made, as Webb threw two third-down passes Biere's way. On both occasions, Biere was past the first down marker, but he couldn't haul either of them in and the Jayhawk offense relinquished the field to the Yellow Jackets.

Receiver Josh Lenz tossed a touchdown pass to a wide-open Darius Reynolds to give Iowa State its first lead of the game in the third quarter.

Case McCoy threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns while completing 12 of 15 passes in his first start for the Longhorns. Texas jumped out to a 21-0 lead against the Bruins and never saw their lead shrink to less than 15 on a day when the Longhorns rushed for 284 yards.
Texas Tech 59, New Mexico 13
Seth Doege completed 40 of 44 passes and threw for 401 yards and five touchdowns as the Red Raiders won decisively on the road to improve to 2-0.
Missouri 69, Western Illinois 0
Henry Josey ran for 263 yards and three touchdowns in the first half as the Tigers got back on track in their first game since losing to Arizona State 37-30 in overtime on Sept. 9. Missouri outgained the Leathernecks by a 700 yard margin, racking up 744 total yards.
No. 17 Baylor 48, Stephen F. Austin State 0
A storm rolled through Waco, Texas, which forced officials to cancel the fourth quarter, but by that point the outcome was not a question to anyone in attendance. Robert Griffin III threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns and added 78 more yards on the ground in the Bears' lopsided victory.
No. 8 Texas A&M 37 Idaho 7
The Aggies scored 37 consecutive points in their one sided victory. Cyrus Gray led the Aggie attack rushing for 101 yards and two touchdowns and adding a third on a three yard pass from Ryan Tannehill.
Kansas State 37. Kent State 0
K-State quarterback Colin Klein only threw for 74 yards and a touchdown, but he ran for 139
yards and two more touchdowns in the Wildcats shutout victory. David Garret opened the flood-gates with a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown 2:19 into the game.
No.1 Oklahoma 23. No.1 Florida State 13
The Sooners survived their first big test of the season, going into Tallahassee, Fla., and defeating then-No.5 Florida State. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones threw a touchdown pass to Kenny Stills with seven minutes left in the game to break a tie at 13. It would be the deciding score as Oklahoma added a field goal with 2:01 left and showed the nation why it is number one in the polls.
No. 7 Oklahoma State 59. Tulsa 33
After going down 3-0 to Tulsa, Justin Gilbert took the kickoff back 96 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys would not trail the rest of the night. Joseph Randle ran for 128 yards and three scores, and the Cowboys forced five turnovers in the game that was delayed for three hours and finished up just after 3:30 a.m.

The Jayhawks looked good on offense in the first half, but in the second half The Yellow Jackets made some defensive adjustments and almost completely shut down the Jayhawk attack. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long didn't adjust his play against a more aggressive defensive front that dedicated itself to stopping the run in the second half.
Offense
Grade: C
The Jayhawk allowed 764 yards of total offense, 604 yards rushing, and 66 points, all three the most in Kansas history, making this the worst defensive performance in Kansas history. The Jayhawk basketball team allowed fewer than 66 points in more than 20 games last year. The Kansas defense looked lost and unprepared to face the option offense.
Defense
Grade: F
The punt team had the great coverage on the first punt of the day, downing the ball inside the Tech five-yard line. Beshears and Bourban were non-factors against a kick-off coverage that ranked 103rd in the nation heading into the game. Alex Mueller missed a kick at the end of the first half, but got a second chance after a running into the kicker penalty.
Special Teams
Grade C+
The Jayhawks did not have a good defensive game plan. The offense experienced early success before being outmatched in the second half. The players said it and the coaches said it; the Jayhawks were out-schemed and out-coached.
Grade: F
Coaching
Glass Half Full
Kansas' offense has the talent to score on legitimate BCS conference defenses, and showed it in the first half. The defense won't have to face another option offense all year, and will face the much more familiar spread attack in Big 12 play.
Glass Half Empty
The defense looked awful, and with high-flying teams such as Oklahoma State and Oklahoma on the Big 12 state, Jayhawk fans could be in for another long season filled with blowouts that leave Memorial Stadium empty after the first quarter.
Good, Bad, or Just Plain Stupid
Looking Ahead
The 42-31 pick was riding the momentum of the Northern Illinois upset. The Kansas point output was pretty close, but with Tech putting up 24 points more than the prediction called, we'll call this one just plain stupid.
The Jayhawks get a week off to regroup before the Texas Tech Red Raiders come to town. Tech's offense has put up points over clearly inferior opponents this season, but Kansas will have two weeks to come up with a scheme to stop their spread attack.
PETER RICO

Vic Shealy: The Kansas defense looked completely unprepared to play against the option attack. They missed assignments and had backs running free. Half of the time it looked like Kansas didn't even lay a finger on any of the Georgia Tech ball carriers. Shealy knew Georgia Tech ran the option offense, but his team looked like they had never seen it before.

Freshman running back Darrian Miller: Miller looked good, running for two touchdowns in the first half. Like the rest of the Jayhaws, he slowed down in the second, but in the first half he looked like a legitimate contender for future all-conference honors.

QUIDDITCH REWIND
The luck of Harry Potter was on Kansas' side as the Jayhawks tamed the Missouri Tigers convincingly.
HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
Kansas Quidditch made quick work of the Missouri Tigers, winning the Border Showdown match 2-1 with scores of 140-40, 80-40 and 60-90. Kansas' speed and endurance was a major factor in both wins.
"We really set the tempo early and really got after it," said Tyler Amble, a sophomore chaser. As soon as the referee yelled, "The snitch is loose!" the seekers took off on their run through campus chasing the snitch runner. Shortly after, the Kansas chasers took control of the quaffle while beaters defended the Kansas hoops, breaking a Missouri player's broom.
"I played pretty well," Hare said,
"I let a couple of goals go by that I shouldn't, but overall it was a good win for the team and a good win for the school."
Both team's players played aggressively. A Missouri player was injured when a Kansas chaser attempted to steal the quaffle from her during the first game. The game stopped temporarily while both teams took a knee. The injured player left the field on her own power.
The Kansas defense was relentless. In his first appearance, junior keeper Granville Hare made several steals that he converted into goals. He racked up 30 points in the first game alone.
Shortly after the game resumed, Kansas raised their lead to 100-40 when the snitch runner returned from his run on campus to the field. The chasers, beaters and seekers continued to play while the snitch runner was chased around other players on the field.
Sophomore seeker Joel Havercamp spent the entire match
chasing the snitch runner through campus when in the final leg of the game he switched out with Nick Caldwell, a sophomore seeker.
KU
"Since I had fresh legs and I had cleats on and the snitch had to stay in the actual field I said, 'Joel just let me make the catch for you,' Caldwell said.
KANSAS
Caldwell ran alongside the far sideline, neck-and-neck, with the Missouri seeker in hot pursuit of the snitch runner. Finally, in a dive, Caldwell pulled the snitch from the snitch runner's shorts winning the first game for the Jayhawks.

In the second game, the Jayhawks got ahead early and did not let go of the lead. Despite a snitch catch ruled illegal in the first 10 minutes of game play, the Jayhawks still pulled out to a 80-40 victory. The catch was illegal because the Missouri seeker did not know that they could chase the snitch before the other players could grab the quaffle and bludgers.
"We were under the impression that these were going to be KU's new people," said Erin Miller, a Missouri sophomore beater.
In the third game, they worked quickly, the Tigers were determined to capture the snitch in approximately 10 minutes to take back the team's first intercollegiate win to Columbia.
The Tigers came out strong in the third game after seeming somewhat shocked in the first and second games.

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT
PAGE 9
ACC acquires two; Oklahoma deciding future
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
After all the rumors, speculation and roadblocks of conference realignment, there is finally a definitive movement. Surprisingly it's not from the Big 12.
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Sunday that its council of presidents had unanimously voted to accept the memberships of the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University.
"The ACC is a strong united conference that is only going to get better with the addition of the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University," Duke University president and ACC Council of President chair Richard Brodhead said during a teleconference on Sunday. "Both schools are committed to competing at the highest level of academics and athletics. We welcome them as full partners in the ACC."
Almost all of the uncertainty surrounding the conference realignment has been squarely focused on the Big 12, so this aggressive move by the ACC was unexpected.
The additions of Pittsburgh and Syracuse further stabilize one of the country's strongest basketball conferences, and the conference may continue to expand.
"First of all, we are very comfortable with this 14," ACC commissioner John Swofford said. "The only thing I would add to that is that we are not philosophically opposed to 16."
The ACC now appears to be in the drivers' seat of the conference shuffle, but what do these latest developments mean for the Big 12 and Kansas?
According to a report in The Kansas City Star, the ACC would consider adding Kansas and Texas as its 15th and 16th teams. However, the feasibility of that scenario has cooled down considerably over the past 24 hours.
Texas' Longhorn Network has received more criticism than praise since it launched last month, but the financial nature of the network does not agree with the ACC's policy of equal revenue sharing.
Swofford referred to the ACC's current stance on revenue sharing as "sacred" during the teleconfer-
ence, so Texas would have to completely restructure the Longhorn Network to draw any consideration from the conference.
Swofford's desire to move the ACC basketball tournament to Madison Square Garden also points to the ACC targeting schools from the Northeast rather than the Midwest. Multiple reports have speculated that the 15th and 16th teams would be Connecticut and Rutgers, which would ensure the conference's control of the New York market.
As much as Kansas fans would like to see the University respond proactively to these latest developments, the entire Big 12 is awaiting Oklahoma's decision regarding its affiliation.
The Oklahoma Board of Regents is scheduled to meet Monday in Tulsa to discuss whether Oklahoma will remain in the Big 12 or seek membership in the Pac-12. The decision that the regents reach Monday will give Kansas and the entire conference a better idea of its options.
The Associated Press reported earlier this month that Oklahoma
President David Boren expressed his concern with the Big 12's instability, and that he openly advocated Oklahoma take an aggressive approach in the conference shuffle.
"I don't think OU is going to be a wallflower when all is said and done," Boren said.
If Oklahoma left for the Pac-12, Oklahma State would likely join the Sooners. This would create a dire outlook for a conference that already lost Colorado, Nebraska, and Texas A&M.
The loss of some of the Big East's most prolific basketball programs would leave the remaining members of the depleted conference scrambling for solutions. A possible merger between the standing members of the Big 12 and the Big East would create a conference that fits the "super-conference" mold and retains BCS status.
Amidst all the uncertainty, one thing is clear; the next couple weeks will be essential for the future of Kansas Athletics and the Big 12.

Kansas earns third invitational title
MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
After defeating the competition at the DePaul Invitational over the weekend, the Kansas volleyball team is off to the second-best start in program history, behind only the 2002 Jayhawks that began their season 12-1.
But coach Ray Bechard said this year's squad has the team from nine years ago bested in at least one category; physicality.
The Jayhawks (11-1) ran the table at the tournament in Chicago, defeating San Diego State, Valparaiso and DePaul to claim their third pre-conference invitational win in four tries. Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield collected her third invitational Most Valuable Player award of the season, finishing Saturday night's clinching game against the host school with a 448 hit percentage.
With freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton out with an injury, the team turned to sophomore Catherine Carmichael to step in at the position. While McClinton's injury is not an ideal situation, getting Carmichael significant reps before Big 12 play begins was a perk for Bechard.
"From that standpoint, I feel like we built some depth," Bechard said. "We played some good teams I thought, and when we needed to execute at a significant level, we did."
Carmichael finished the final game against DePaul with four kills and a .333 hit percentage, and the Jayhawks swept the game, 25-18, 25-12, 25-23.
The team's biggest test came Saturday afternoon against Valparaiso, where it had to rally from a 2-1 deficit for the first time this season. Behind career-best kills totals from junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree, sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and Mayfield, the Jayhawks rallied
to win the match, 25-18, 27-29,
21-25, 25-16, 15-10.
"I know we started off a bit tentative and not as aggressive as we usually have in the past, but it definitely improved over the weekend." Jarmoc said. "We just have to focus on starting off strong and maintaining it throughout the entire match."
Mayfield led all Jayhawks with 22 kills in the five-set match.
On Friday, the lajwhaks were on the ropes against San Diego State before taking control with a 12-0 run in the final set, eventually winning the game in four, 20-25, 25-20, 25-20, 25-18. Sophomore setter Kara Wehrs had 24 of her 103 assists over the weekend in that game.
Wehrs would record a careerhigh 2 kills against Valparaiso, a performance that earned her praise from Jarmoc.
"She's doing very well. She's starting this year and having a lot of success," Jarmoc said. "She's getting a lot more confident too and handling pressure very well."
The lahawks will next open Big 12 play on the road against No. 8 Texas on Sept. 24, the final leg of a three-week road trip. The team will return home on Sept. 28 to compete against its second consecutive ranked opponent, No. 12 Iowa State.
This weekend's invitational served as a critical last tuneup for the team, exposing some flaws and also showing some areas of strength, especially in the comeback win against Valparaiso.
"I think we learned that even when we're down we have the tenacity to come back," Mayfield said. "We believe in oursels, and we know we can come back from being behind. I don't think we ever doubted ourselves that we were going to win."

Darrell Arthur AT KANSAS YEARS: 2006-2008
To some, it came as a bit of a surprise when "Shady" opted for Kansas. Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson already formed the front-court and Arthur was a top recruit eyeing startings at Indiana, Baylor, Texas and LSU. But coach Belf Self lured him and Arthur's talents weren't hidden by a role off the bench. On Thanksgiving in 2004, Kansas beat Florida 82-80 in Gainesville. Arthur recorded 19 points and nine rebounds in just 16 minutes played, mostly against Al Horford, now an All-Star with the Atlanta Hawks.
ACCOLADES
- National Champion (2008)
* First Team Big 12 (2008)
* All-Freshman Big 12 (2006-07)
* Big 12 Champion (2007, 2008)
ON TO THE NBA
Arthur left Kansas after the championship season, and was the 27th overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft. He was traded three times before landing with the Memphis Grizzles and was a key part to this past season's surprise Grizzlies team that beat the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.
With 11 seconds left in overtime of the 2008 title game against Memphis, Arthur grabbed the rebound and tossed the ball to Sherron Collins, who dribbled the seconds away with his right pointer finger holding a one. When thinking of the championship team, Arthur's name is often overshadowed by Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush. But with his consistent mid-range jump shot, powerful and creative moves near the rim, and knack for rebounding and blocking shots, Arthur was just as important to cutting down the nets as the rest of them.

Jackson was made for the dirty work, scrapping inside for rebounds and high-percentage shots near the hoop. He led the title team with 267 rebounds and started the last 35 games of that season. He was a top reserve before he earned his starting role, and was a fan favorite for his tireless play.

ON TO THE NBA
Jackson was the 22nd pick in the second round of the 2008 NBA draft. He spent his first two seasons in the league with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but had to watch Lebron James from the sidelines as he sat most of those seasons on the bench. Jackson is currently a forward for the Sacramento Kings, a team with financial woes that may move to Anaheim. He played 8.2 minutes and scored 3.2 points per game in 59 games with the Kings last season.
DEFINING MOMENT
No. 2 Kansas rolled into Colorado on Feb. 2, 2008 fresh off the season's first loss at the hands of Michael Beasley and Kansas State. They were 21-1 with eyes on a championship in April, and quite possibly overlooking a matchup with the Buffaloes. After a slow start, the layawhacks headed into halftime tied 30-30 and at risk of losing two straight. Colorado's Richard Roby scored 22 points, but it was Jackson who led his team to victory, sinking all 10 of his free throw attempts.

Wright was a mismatch for any opponent, able to play inside with the bigger forwards or step outside against swingmen and guards. He used his length and athletic ability as a defender to irritate ball handlers and sky for rebounds. As a scorer he made plays from anywhere on the floor, and served as a valuable offensive spark from multiple positions.

- Ninth in the Big 12 with 1.4 steals per game (2006-2007)
ON TO THE NBA
The New Orleans Hornets selected Wright with the 13th overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft. After years of filling up the highlight reels at Kansas, hopes were high for the lanky forward. But he spent three rocky seasons with the Hornets before he was traded to the Toronto Raptors for Marco Belinelli in August 2010. In his four seasons in the NBA, he has never averaged more than 4.4 points or 2.9 rebounds per game.
DEFINING MOMENT

There were few things more exhilarating than watching Wright dunk the basketball. The 360 degree slam in the closing seconds of the 2006 Big 12 championship kicked Longhorn fans to the road. The two hander against Florida inspired Dick Vitale to call him "jammin' Julian." The dunk on top of monstrous Missouri center Kalen Grimes in Columbia was something for Jayhawk fans to savor.

THE MORNING BREW
The common but antisocial tiger
The intense rivalry between the Jayhawks and the Tigers can be traced all the way back to the late 1800s when the two universities began to battle each other in athletics. This battle has since become one of the best rivalries in college sports and probably will be for a long time to come. The Jayhawk and Tiger mascots have become a staple within their respective universities. I must admit, however, I'm not a big fan of Truman the Tiger.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
For starters, there are a few thousand tigers scattered all across the world that are divided into six different species. But how many jayhawks do you know of? Just one. We are the one and only school in the nation that has a jayhawk as its mascot (and proud of it). Not
to mention how many schools around the country use tigers as their mascot (33, to be exact—and that doesn't include high schools). If you ask me, a tiger is not very original.
Let's be honest, tigers really aren't that cool. When you think about it, they're just big house cats that eat a lot more and do a lot more damage to your furniture. Sure, they're strong and powerful, but so is a cheetah. Only a cheetah is more agile and can run a lot faster.
Another thing about tigers is that they are very territorial and hunt alone. In other words, they don't share with others and they like to eat by themselves. To me, it sounds like the tiger is a bit antisocial. They also have very short tempers and can snap at any moment. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to hang out with anything that could bite my head off at any given point.
As they're prowling in the forests, they don't really have to worry about predators either (except for humans in some cases), so it's easy to see why tigers are so cocky and full of themselves. They have nothing to worry about, or so they think. Which brings me to my next question—why has the tiger population been on a decline over the past few years? I don't know the answer to that, but
I do know there has yet to be a sighted killing of a jayhawk. That should tell you something about what people think about tigers, right? Clearly we aren't the only ones that hate them.
I guess I'm having trouble understanding what the big deal is about the tiger. Okay, they look pretty cool, but that's about it. Clearly this animal has anger management issues, not to mention a very unhealthy diet that would be frowned upon by many nutritionists. After awhile, all that meat is going to catch up to its body. To put it simply, a tiger clearly has a lot of issues to sort out before it is worthy of being a mascot. A Jayhawk, on the other hand...

COMMENTARY
Kansas' options look bleak
Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com
I wasn't a good day for Kansas. It gave up a Football Bowl Subdivision-record 604 running yards to Georgia Tech. I don't know if the yards or the score — 66-24 — was more embarrassing. On the bright side, the Jayhawks didn't give up 70 points.
The other nine teams in the Big 12 gave up 106 points — combined.
The biggest news of the weekend however, was the Atlantic Coast Conference accepting Syracuse and Pittsburgh as its 13th and 14th members Sunday morning. Rumors are swirling that Connecticut and Rutgers might make 15 and 16, but reports have also said Texas along with another school, possibly Kansas, could fill those places.
I think the ACC shot down Texas because ACC Commissioner John Swofford said equal revenue sharing is a "sacred" thing and doesn't see it changing (meaning the Longhorn Network is a no-go if Texas goes).
Everything is tied to football, which is terrible for Kansas. It would be ignorant to say Kansas belongs in the Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC or Southeastern Conference for football. It can't compete right now. Kansas is a basketball school. If the Big 12 folds, Kansas belongs in a non-automatic qualifying conference for football. The rest of the Big 12 (yes, including Kansas State) belongs in an automatic qualifying conference.
The problem is Kansas is the flagship school for the state and it would be awful if Kansas isn't in an AQ conference.
If it were all about basketball, every conference would be knocking on Kansas' door. The best scenario, which doesn't look like it will happen, would be the Big 12 staying together. The geographic location makes the most sense. If Kansas were to end up in any other conference, it would have longer flights and the alumni base wouldn't be as strong.
The closest conference for Kansas, besides the Big 12, is the Big Ten. Again, football-wise, this doesn't make sense. It's all about money. Kansas would increase its share revenue from $12 million to $22 million from conference TV contracts, according to the Washington Post.
Academically the Big Ten would make sense. Every school besides Nebraska is a member of the Association of American Universities. These are research universities; Kansas along with Missouri, Iowa State, Texas and Texas A&M are among this group.
The ACC has six AAU members; the Pac-12 has eight members; and the Big East has Rutgers.
Academics is overlooked, but it's such a huge aspect. These are student athletes. Students first, athletes second.
But for Kansas to join the Big Ten, there has to be a mutual want and I'm not sure the Big Ten has the same mindset.
A lot of people say they don't want Kansas in the Big Ten because the basketball is slow. It is, relatively speaking, According to KenPom.com the 11 teams in the conference averaged 64.6 possessions per game, whereas Kansas averaged 69.2.
If it were up to me, Kansas and Missouri would go to the Big Ten; Kansas State, Iowa State and Baylor would go to the Big East; Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech would go to the Pac-12.
But hey, Kansas could land in the Ivy League for all I know.

Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb slides to avoid being tackled by a group of Georgia Tech defenders during the second half of Saturday's game at Bobby Dudd Stadium. Webb rushed three times for 16 yards in the Jayhawks' 66-24 defeat, while Georgia Tech ran for 604 yards and passed for 164 more in a record-breaking performance.

ATLANTA — The numbers were some that should only appear in a video game, not in real life, as Kansas was outcoached and outplayed in a record-breaking 66-24 loss to Georgia Tech.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy candidly said it over and over again.
"It's on me today," he said. "Whenever your plan gets schemed, it comes back to me. What happened today is on Vic Shealy."
The Kansas defense gave up an almost-unheard-of 604 rushing yards, and 768 yards of offense — a school record for Georgia Tech and the second-most yards
allowed in Kansas history.
It was quite a different story only one year ago when students at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence poured onto the field in celebration of the Jayhawks upset victory the then-No. 15 Yellow Jackets. In that game, the Jayhawks' defense would often bend, but not break, as Georgia Tech's 407 yards led to only 25 points.
That was not the case Saturday, as the Yellow Jackets' spread option offense often befuddled the seemingly helpless Jayhawks defense, scoring with frequent ease — a trend that started from the beginning.
He ran untouched for 95 yards, breaking the first record of the game for Georgia Tech — the longest run in school history.
Starting their first drive on their own five-yard line, running back Orwin Smith received the ball on a counter and had a hole the size of the Grand Canyon.
Yet, the Jayhawks were able to recover and keep close the first half, exchanging touchdowns and big plays, taking a 24-17 deficit into the locker room.
The counter call was just the first of many plays the Kansas defense was not prepared for.
But it got ugly from there.
Georgia Tech adjusted and scored four unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter. The first three scores all came on plays of 50 yards or more, two of which were on the first play of the drive.
The defensive lapses continued throughout the game.
When Georgia Tech threw the ball, it would have a player streaking down the field unguarded, turning into an average of 23.4 yards per pass. And when Georgia Tech ran the ball, it averaged a first down each play, gaining 12.1 yards per carry.
To explain the defensive miscues sophomore cornerback Tyler Patton and junior safety Bradley McDougald both suggested what Shealy reiterated: the Jayhawks simply did not have the right plan in place.
"It got to a point were they were scheming us," Patmon said. "I think they kind of knew what we were about to do. It just got to a point where they were reading our defense and knowing what we were gonna run."
"They were most definitely prepared," he said. "They just did
a great job of playing chess out there."
McDougald agreed.
The lack of proper preparation was, in all likelihood, a result of the complex triple-option attack that Georgia Tech uses. Kansas' young defense just could not keep up.
There are very few teams that run anything similar to what Georgia Tech brings to the field every week, and as long as Shealy is around, the Jayhawks would be wise to avoid those teams at all costs.
"Fortunately we don't have to play a scheme like that," Shealy said, "and hopefully Georgia Tech, Army, Air Force, or Navy are not on the schedule the next few years."

SOCCER
First half Florida goals sink Kansas
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
"I think we just came out slower than we needed and they took us by surprise which should never happen," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said. "But we learn from our mistakes and it probably won't happen again."
The Kansas soccer team found that out quickly as it gave up five goals in the first half against Florida on Sunday, making a comeback out of the question.
A team can't win a game in a half, but it can lose it.
The 7-2 loss was a setback to say the least for the lajhwahy (6-3) who had gained momentum throughout their non-conference schedule.
The Jayhawks struggled to communicate throughout the contest. The team was out of sync for much of first 45 minutes, in particular in the defensive third.

No. 9 Florida found more holes in Kansas' formation and it showed on the scoreboard.
At halftime, Francis spent the entire 15 minutes talking to his team on organization and getting the most they could out of the second half.
"We didn't start very well, but that just something we need to progress on for next week," Liebetrau said. "We can't come out and do what we did here in the first half."
"He was really emphasizing on working and playing for each other," Liebetrau said. "Connecting the ball throughout the whole field because the whole first half it was like we were playing defense the whole time."
TRAVIS YOIING/KANSAN
"We've got to focus on what we are doing because this game got away from us."
"In the back we just weren't very organized," coach Mark Francis said. "When something like that happens you got to figure it out.
"I told our defenders they shouldn't be scoring the same type of goal on us from the same type of situation. We've got to learn from it the first time it happens. We just did a horrendous job organization in the back."
MARK FRANCIS coact
Sophomore midfielder Caroline Kastor jumps to avoid the tackle from Florida freshman defender Annie Bobbitt during the first half of the match on Sunday afternoon. The Jayhawks lost the game 7-2 after allowing five goals in the first half.
After posting a clean sheet in her previous match against Purdue, giving up seven goals was a hard pill to swallow.
It was a rough day in goal for Kansas' goalkeeper Kat Liebtrabel as well.
Following the halftime discussion, the Jayhawks played with an edge, going after 50-50 balls and creating more opportunities around the net.
One of the two goals occurred in the 53rd minute when freshman forward, togrid
Vidal beat the keeper to the ball on a slide tackle.
The ball bounced off Florida senior goalkeeper Brooke Chancey and went in for the lahawks' first goal of the day.
“If wed play like that first half it would have been a completely different game,” Berry said. “If we come out hard every game we should have no troubles beating anyone.”
With the stifling schedule in the near future, the lahvayhs understand they must correct their mistakes other wise another game like this one could be on the horizon.
"It's not going to get any easier," Francis said. "But we've got to focus on what we are doing because this game got away from us."

The ACC stole the realignment spotlight this weekend with the additions of Pittsburgh and Syracuse, but yesterday shifted the attention squarely back on the Big 12.

The University of Oklahoma's Board of Regents granted school president David Boren authorization Monday to take any necessary measure regarding Oklahoma's conference affiliation.
Texas also met yesterday, and decided to give school president Bill Powers the go-ahead to seek new affiliation with some restrictions.
In addition, the board of regents from the University of
According to the Austin American-Statesman, while Boren now has complete control over any potential conference change for Oklahoma, Powers has the ability to negotiate with other conferences but must get the board's approval in order to leave the Big 12.

In Loving Memory
Memorializing friends online
ILLUSTRATION BY KIRILL NADTOCHIV
Facebook pages provide comfort for users after losing loved ones
ALEXA RUSH
arush@kansan.com
Natalie Pennington logged onto Facebook and noticed a recommendation to reconnect with one of her friends. This may seem normal for Facebook users, but this particular friend had passed away.
Although Pennington, a doctoral student from Springfield, Mo., never considered unfriending this person, it's hard to have Facebook make this suggestion. This situation piqued her interest and led her to wonder how others were doing and dealing; thus her research project on using Facebook to deal with grieving for a loved one began.
Seeing the deceased's existing Facebook page or reading other Facebook users' posts on their wall can be consoling for many, but some find it an unwanted, constant reminder of their loss.
"Many individuals in my interviews pointed out that seeing that others were going through what they were too and being able to talk with them and share memories about the deceased really helped them in coping with their loss," Pennington said. "On the flip side, some people think grief should be a private thing. Seeing others talk about the deceased online makes the pain that much more intense."
Emily Heiden, a senior from Urbandale, Iowa, lost a close friend during her freshman year. In April 2009, Dalton Hawkins, a freshman at the
time, passed away after falling from the roof of a campus scholarship hall. His parents removed his Facebook page the day he died, so his friends created a memorial page in his honor.
"I write on that page every now and then," Heiden said.
"It helps to say 'I miss you' or 'I can't wait to see you again,' but it's always hard knowing I won't get to talk and laugh with him anytime soon."
According to Facebook's official blog about profile pages of the deceased, it is important for the friends and family to contact Facebook and request that the profile be memorialized. This is done by filling out a feedback form which will ask for proof of a relationship with the deceased such as
knowledge of a birthday or email address. Also, a news article or obituary is needed as a proof of death.
By doing this, the deceased will no longer appear in
the "suggestions" area, where Facebook prompts users to get reconnected with friends. Privacy settings are changed so that only confirmed friends can see the profile or locate it in a search. To protect the deceased's privacy, Facebook removes personal information such as contact information and
status updates. Memorializing prevents anyone from logging into the account, but allows friends and family to leave posts on the wall in remembrance.
Pennington's research shows that Facebook memorial pages first started popping up after the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting. These helped those who knew the deceased, and even those who didn't, find a conventional place online to talk about the catastrophe and offer their sympathy. A benefit to having a memorial page created, opposed to a profile page of the deceased, is that people can opt out of joining the group if they so choose — though in Pennington's research participants have chosen not to unfriend the deceased.
"It helps to say 'I miss you' or 'I can't wait to see you again,' but it's always hard knowing I won't get to talk and laugh with him anytime soon."
EMILY HIDEN A senior from Urbandale, Iowa
"I think online memorials
have to be more closely monitored. Past research on them has shown experiences where you have people posting hateful things about the deceased or writing about

that every person has his or her own way of mourning.
"Grief is highly personal, and each person decides what they need to get through the process," Pennington said. "I think this points to how, even if immediately it hurts to have that online presence, that in the long term users are finding that having that page available, should they ever need it, is a comfort."
Max Kelly, a partner and engineer at Facebook, writes in the blog that when someone passes away, they won't ever leave the memories of their friends and family. Through memorialized profiles, they also won't leave the social network.
Andrew Thornton, a sophomore from Lenexa, lost his friend, Hallie Steele, this past summer after an accident at a concert.
"She was free-spirited and not afraid to be herself" he said. "I think it's great that people can go on her page and say how much they miss her and what an impact she made on their lives."
Steele's Facebook page is still visited by friends who leave posts regularly. She was also from Lenexa and a sophomore at the time of her death.
"I feel that just because someone is gone, that doesn't mean that the memory of them has to go away, too," Thornton said. "Facebook kind of allows them to live on in a sense."

Anti-hazing and feminist speaker Don McPherson discusses ways to prevent hazing and violence against women yesterday in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. McPherson, a college hall of fame football player and former NFL player, has dedicated more than 20 years to these issues.

Speaking out against hazing and violence
To some, Don McPherson is a Sugar Bowl Most Valuable Player and the quarterback who led Syracuse University through an undefeated 1987 regular season. To others, he's one of the nation's most prominent voices against hazing and violence against women.
McPherson spoke about hazing prevention to about 60 University of Kansas students last night
at the Kansas Union. McPherson's approach to prevention emphasizes preparation for making good decisions in bad situations.
"It's constantly going over
in National Hazing Prevention Week. The week promotes hazing prevention within all student groups and organizations, said Jane Tuttle, University assistant vice provost for Student Success.
"We purposely selected a speaker who could speak to lots of groups," Tuttle said.

good examples and good formulas. When you're in class, you don't look at bad examples," McPherson said. "Your professor doesn't say, 'just don't do that.'"
McPherson's presentation kicks off the University's participation
from the creation of the hazing prevention task force last fall, Tuttle said. However, several organizations have come together to plan the week.

WICHITA
Investigators in Wichita are seeking the cause of a house fire that killed a 16-year-old girl and two dogs.
KSNW-TV reports the girl was alone in the house and apparently sleeping in her bedroom when firefighters were called shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday. She was found unconscious in a second-floor bathroom and taken to a hospital, where she died Sunday night.
The girl's mother and brother had been gone about 30 minutes when the fire broke out and returned while the crews were still battling the fire.
The girl's name had not been released Monday.
GUATEMALA CITY
Three earthquakes shook a major part of Guatemala in less than 90 minutes Monday afternoon, killing at least one person, authorities said.
The largest quake, a 5.8 magnitude, hit at 12:34 p.m., with two of 4.8 magnitude hitting before and after. All were centered in the same area about 30 miles southeast of the capital, Guatemala City.
Firefighters confirmed that the temblors, caused a landslide on the highway to El Salvador that trapped at least one car and killed one person.
Local media also reported that a wall fell on several houses, trapping a family. It was not clear if there were more casualties.
WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama said the U.S. Postal Service should be allowed to reduce mail delivery to five-days-a-week to help cut its massive losses.
The Postal Service lost $8.5 billion last year and is facing even more red ink this year as the Internet siphons off large amounts of first-class mail and the weak economy reduces advertising mail.
While the post office has cut more than 100,000 workers in the last few years it needs to cut more, close offices and find other ways to reduce costs to keep operating.
In his economic growth and debt reduction plan unveiled Monday, Obama endorsed the idea of dropping one day of mail delivery — it is expected to be Saturday — and urged other changes in postal operations.
Armed men from Congo burst into a pub in the central African nation of Burundi and killed 36 people, an official said Monday. One wounded man said an attacker yelled: "Make sure there's no survivors."
Burundi, a tiny nation still reeling from a civil war that killed more than 250,000 people, is awash in weapons but attacks like the one Sunday night are rare. Still, the region borders eastern Congo, which is wracked by violence from myriad rebel groups.

School of Law ranked among the best
bburch@kansan.com
BOBBY BURCH
The National Jurist Magazine has ranked the University of Kansas School of Law as the 19th best school in the nation for hands-on educational opportunities through clinical work for its students.
"They not only enhance the Law School learning experience, but also help our students stand out in an increasingly competitive job market," he said. "Our graduates routinely report that their clinical courses were the elements of law school that most effectively prepared them for the day-to-day practice of law."
The school offers more than 250 positions in a variety of clinics as well as externships, where law students can apply to work alongside attorneys, judges and legislators in the community and at the University.
Joyce Rosenberg, director of the Externship Clinic at the School of Law, said the clinical programs provide students with a better opportunity to find work after college.
"To develop those practical skills, it's essential that they have solid field training opportunities at law school," she said. "We have such diverse opportunities to do that. So whatever a student's interest is, they can probably find a clinic in it."
The magazine's research shows that in addition to a top 20 ranking, the University's School of Law also boasts the fourth-highest growth rate in the nation for externship positions, during the last decade.
"That's one of the reasons I chose KU" she said. "The ability to come
Stephen Mazza, dean of the Law School, said in an email that the school's clinical programs go beyond providing students with practical tools.
in and get some practical application before I get into the practice of law is a huge advantage."
Ehren Penix, a second-year law student from Omaha, Neb., is part of the Media Law Clinic that studies First Amendment law and diverse media technologies.
"There's lots of opportunity to work here at the school," Penix said. "You can do things like traffic court or work for library research."
While Dean Mazza said that he's unsure of how the new ranking will affect the University's School of Law, but hopes it appeals to prospective law students.

Zooey Deschanel, Poppy Montgomery star in new series
Her character, Jess, uses music in a very different way.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Taking a role in the new Fox comedy "New Girl" means Zoey Deschanel has had to put her film career on hold. But it was commitment she was willing to make.
"Literally, reading the pilot script, I was laughing out loud, having such a good time. Every time we rehearse, I have a great time because the writing is so good." Deschanel said. "I felt like they don't make as many movies now as they used to. I know there's just been a huge change in the movie industry, and I don't know if I've ever read a role this good for myself. So I just had to jump on this opportunity because it's an amazing one. And if there's any character I want to play forever and ever and ever, it's this one. So I'm psyched."
Part of the reason Deschanel's so psyched is that not only does she get to play a fun comedy character, the new girl has a tendency to break into song. Along with her acting work, Deschanel has a musical career that includes writing music for the recent feature film "Winnie the Pooh."

That kind of mental ability proves to be a curse and blessing for Montgomery's character, Carrie Wells, as she helps solve crimes.
"Unforgettable" was spawned by Henner's ability to remember everything that's happened to her. She's one of six people in the world diagnosed with Superior Autobiographical Memory.
"I was talking to Marilu about this. She says you can sort of run across the surface of a memory, or you can choose to dive into it with this ability. So I think Carrie, a lot of times she'll run across the surface of it until she has to dive into it, and that's where it comes into play in terms of solving crimes and going into what she really saw versus what she wants to remember on the surface of things," Montgomery says.
Poppy Montgomery will never forget actress Mariu Henner — a consultant for the new CBS drama "Unforgettable," which also premiers Tuesday night.
The series has Montgomery solving cases, similar to "Without a Trace." She was willing to get back to the same type of series because the Carrie Wells character is so different — from the super memory skill to Montgomery's flaming red hair.

Emmy wins for 'Modern Family' let Disney brag
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — It was a good weekend for Walt Disney Co., with what its ABC Entertainment unit taking home five Emmys and a reissue of its "Lion King" ruling the box-office jungle.
But you wouldn't know it by looking at the entertainment giant's shares in Monday trading: Disney was off 1.4 percent at $32.45, mirroring losses on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Disney's one of the 30 components in the blue-chip benchmark.
Disney's ABC snapped five Emmys for its "Modern Family" sitcom, including best comedy series, writing and directing awards as well as statuettes won by supporting actors Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell. It was the second year that "Modern Family" won the Emmy for best comedy series.
The offbeat show, which has attracted critical acclaim and praise from gay rights groups for prominently featuring two gay characters, dominated the comedy series categories. "Modern Family" also took some of the attention of past Emmy ceremonies away from Time Warner Inc.'s Home Box Office, which often dominates the awards night. Read recent story on why Disney is viewed as
a safer bet than Time Warner in tumultuous markets.
HBO did, however, capture a few honors of its own, taking two Emmys for the miniseries "Mildred Pierce" and one for the drama series "Boardwalk Empire." But that didn't help New York-based Time Warner's shares, which traded down 1.2 percent to $30.59.
Another big winner at Sunday's Emmys ceremony was the Public Broadcasting System's "Masterpiece Theatre" miniseries "Downton Abbey." The British-based drama won in four categories.
And the hit cable series "Mad Men," developed by AMC Networks Inc., continued its outstanding-drama-series winning streak, capturing its fourth consecutive honor Sunday.
Separately, Disney got a boost when its re-release of the 1994 animated classic "The Lion King" took in an estimated $29.3 million to lead the weekend box office—roughly double what analysts had forecast.
But since an individual film and a single comedy series represent such a small portion of Disney's business, it's unlikely they'll help soothe investors on a day when markets were getting hammered.

Director slates 'Abduction' sequel
LOS ANGELES — "Abduction" — the film that marks Taylor Lautner's official bid to become an action star — doesn't hit theaters until Friday. But director John Singleton says that no matter how the movie fares at the box office in the coming weeks, a sequel to the action flick is already a done deal.
And if the movie tanks at the multiplex? "I don't think we have to worry about that," he said. "It's happening."
When asked if there would be another installment of "Abduction," Singleton replied enthusiastically: "Definitely."
"We've been talking about it while we're making the movie. Of course, I'm gonna direct it," he grinned, speaking Thursday night from the premiere of the film in Hollywood.
"Abduction," in which Lautner stars as a high schooler who discovers his identity is different than his parents led him to believe, is the first film Singleton has directed in six years. The filmmaker, whose biggest successes include "Boyz N the Hood" and "Shaft," said he's spent his time off "sailing and raised kids."
He was lured back into the spotlight by "Abduction," he said, because he was intrigued by the possibility of how he could help shape an emerging star like Lautner. (His daughters, avid fans of the "Twilight" series, also told him they'd kill him if he passed on the opportunity.)
"I'm a competitive guy. I've worked with a lot of new talent, and I wanted to show what I could do with Taylor," Singleton said. "I wanted to show there's a certain edge to him. It's not just about how he looks. It's about him being able to convey emotions in a character and be funny and be very physical in the action scenes. That's what truly makes a star."

If the defense could keep the other team from scoring as easily as I somehow keep preventing myself from "scoring," we'd never lose a game.

KU community should appreciate endowment
The University of Kansas Endowment Association recently announced that a $500,000 gift from the Topeka-based Capitol Federal Foundation was given to help expedite the University's plan to attach its name to a national cancer center. The University has been vying for a National Cancer Center Institute label for several years and with this donation, it intends to submit its 600-page grant proposal by the Sept. 25 deadline.
The University of Kansas Cancer Center officials have said that acquiring the national appellation would lead to increased research on new treatments and drugs for
cancer within the region. The contributions will also be part of the upcoming, "Far Above; The Campaign for Kansas," which will begin April 2012.
Generous donors such as Capitol deserve a collossal thank you for helping the University reach its $61 million fundraising goal for the 2011 fiscal year and bringing the year's endowment to $153.2 million.
While the donation helped endowment in its goal of a cancer center, students and alumni cannot forget to be grateful for the $112.5 million in gifts and pledges, the $39 million in deferred gift commitments and the $1.7 million in gifts made directly to
the University.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has said that state financing covers only about 22 percent of the University's total operating expenses, and that private gifts are essential to virtually all of the University's activities.
Despite the fact that we are living in the land of budget cuts and failing solutions, our endowment program has become more and more vital to our University's prosperity. These are financially ambiguous times and with unstable state funding, endowment money is more essential than ever. Although many institutions of higher learning have suffered from financial crisis, the
University's $1.05 billion endowment increased 10.4 percent over the previous year, giving it the fourth-largest endowment in the Big 12.
The University community should realize the effect of going to a tradition-rich institution. A large endowment allows the University to remain as a premier research institution. Thank the alumni who have contributed back, and thank the donating organizations that value the University's name.

Stop monopolizing class discussions
Once upon a time, there lived a pseudo-intellectual... THE AIRY OF REALITY
By Alexis Knutsen
aknutsen@kansan.com
Once upon a time, there lived a pseudo-intellectual...
AHAE
In any discussion class in that great bulwark of a building called Wescoe, you can always find that one persnickety, peeling person who monopolizes the discussion by ranting on about some odd concept or another and ends up talking more than the professor. But the professor is always too nice to tell them they talk too much and that half of what they are saying is absolute rubbish.
The worst part is when you gather enough courage to say something just to get discussion points and the aforementioned obnoxious person gives you a snooty look because what you said sounds so unintelligent compared to his or her argument.
I'm sorry, but I do not like slam poetry, I am not a fan of philosophy, and I do not spend my time getting into existential debates about the meaning of life. Occasionally, I do argue about higher pursuits, but I
keep my innermost feelings about deep concepts to myself. I prefer the practical over the quixotic and to remain in the realm of actual experience.
And that doesn't make me and those like me unintelligent.
Mohammad Ataie
Your unfortunate expedition into the haphazard world of class discussions will generally end in the following manner: the entire class gets embroiled in a giant discussion about some concept no one will remember five minutes later, and all the other snooty smart people
shoot glares at the one person who dares — dares, I say — to disagree.
There is a name for these wonderful, conceited children of academia who rove campuses around the world exerting their opinions with gale force winds: pseudo-intellectuals. Listen, here at college we are all about the opinions, and no one likes opinions more than an opinion columnist. But unless you have a Ph.D. and have spent more than seven years studying something, you are no more an expert than I am a professional body builder.
In fact, what do we even mean by the term "expert"? Compared to the infinite amount of knowledge this world has to offer us, I would say all of us are the most inexperi and flawed intelligent beings out there.
Please don't bash my opinions, arguments or reasons because they're different or don't agree with some (insert hoity-tooity intellectual) opinion. If your ego is the size of a small planet and you think you are smarter or better than everyone else, you probably have
some introspection to do. Look at everyone's ideas because they probably have something to teach you about yourself. I don't want to be in a place where we're all trying to one-up the next person for brownie points; I want to be in a place where I get to learn and speak without being judged.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Blatant disregard of facts
On behalf of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and the Commission on the Status of Women, we would like to respond to the letter to the editor on Friday about the new Office on Civil Rights (OCR) requirements.
First, this letter contained many inaccuracies about the OCR changes, among them the ways in which evidence is evaluated, the process for hearing complaints, and the ways in which decisions are made. There are too many inaccuracies to detail here, but it is clear that the author's concerns are driven by a deeper lack of understanding about sexual violence.
From the beginning, he assumes that all perpetrators are men and all victims women, referring to the perpetrator throughout his letter as "the man." Given his purported concern for the rights of men, it is surprising that he would employ such a gender stereotype.
Additionally, the author misrepresents statistics about rape and sexual assault while failing to cite his sources. He claims that "radical feminist organizations," which he does not name, widely circulate that 1 in 4 women will be raped in her lifetime. In fact, a report from
the National Institute of Justice found that about 1 in 5 women are victims of completed or attempted sexual assault while in college. Clearly, the author does not understand the distinction between rape and sexual assault.
The author also drastically misrepresents the number of false rape reports made. His suggestion that 41 percent of rape accusations are false is not accurate. Although he fails to cite his source for this information, it is likely a study completed in a small Midwestern metropolitan community from 1985-1994 with a sample size of 109. More scientifically rigorous research converges at a rate of about 8 to 10 percent for false rape charges.
The author's defensiveness about rape and his efforts to portray sexual violence as "overblown" demonstrates his lack of understanding about the nature of sexual assault as an abuse of power rather than a victim's efforts to cover up regretted choices. We invite him to educate himself by hearing the stories of women and men who are survivors.

GUEST COLUMN
Kansas City soccer fans epitomize sportsmanship
Coming from a nation where football (or soccer, as it's more commonly known in the United States) dominates most of the sports pages and is more a lifestyle to many than simply a game. I was not sure what to expect from my maiden Major League Soccer game. The trip to Kansas City to watch Sporting KC play in a buzzing Livestrong Sporting Park against the Los Angeles Galaxy, however, had a huge effect on me. I was impressed not entirely because of the match. What struck me were the fans and how truly supportive they are.
That may sound obvious, as people go to sporting events because they're supporters of a specific team or player, and MLS is no different. Over 20,000 fans of KC and LA witnessed an exciting Labor Day fixture, ending in a 2-2 tie. Coming from England, however, I was shocked at how civil the fans were to each other. European football is an institution with extremely passionate supporters, who display undying love for their own club and players — but pure hatred for their rivals.
Much like any major team,
Rob Cooke
editor@kansan.com
Sporting KC does have its fair share of die-hard fans, who occupy one side of the home stadium. While the U.K. may have larger numbers of these types of fans situated throughout the stadium, there were far more families and females at Livestrong Park than I have ever seen at a game in England.
In Europe, football remains a predominantly male social event. Across the Atlantic, the machismo attitude displayed at football matches can unfortunately lead to violence — more often than not fueled by alcohol. Two weeks ago, before a European Championship qualifying match between England and Wales in London, a Welsh fan was viciously beaten by other fans, leaving him with severe head injuries that killed him later that night. This is a shocking reminder of how passion can boil over into anger in sports.
The 2005 independent British film "Green Street Hooligans," for example, focused exclusively and
unashamedly on the hooliganism of rival fans in England, and the gang-type culture they promote, organising violent brawls following matches.
The Sporting KC game was therefore a breath of fresh air for me as a football fan. Fellow supporters championed the players they adore, willed them on and enjoyed the entertainment they provided, rather than focusing the same amount of energy into negative slurs toward the opposition players and fans. This gave the stadium an enjoyable, rather than intimidating, atmosphere. Naturally, I still love the English game, but my MLS experience certainly highlighted issues that I have with it.
As may be obvious, I couldn't recommend a day out to see KC at Livestrong Park strongly enough. Football is always a thrilling experience, and when it comes to the atmosphere at Livestrong Park, Kansas City soccer fans are the epitome of Sporting.

1. Oklahoma State (11-0)
W
The Cowgirls are the unequivocal favorites to win the Big 12 in 2011. So far this season, Oklahoma State has produced a stifling defense giving up only three goals in 11 contests. They currently rank in the Top 5 in all three college soccer polls.
2. Missouri (8-2)
The Tigers started out the year facing four ranked opponents, including the Florida Gators who beat Kansas last Sunday 7-2. Missouri also lost to Florida, 2-0, on Friday. Sophomore forward Alyssa Diggs leads the Tigers with 10 points in the non-conference. Freshman goalkeeper McKenzie Sauriewin lead Big 12 with 32.
ATM
3. Texas A&M (6-4)
Don't be fooled by the Aggies' record. Texas A&M has put up some monster numbers this year beating two teams by more than nine goals, including a 13-1 victory over Fordham on Sunday. The two point leaders in the conference reside in College Station with freshman forwards Annie Kunz (21) and Kelley Monogue (17). Kunz is also the league leader in goals with nine in her first 10 games.

4. Kansas (6-3)
The Jayhawks continue to show flashes of brilliance and have vastly improved on the offensive end of the field. The 19 goals scored so far this season already surpasses the 17 goals put up in 2010. If the defense can improve during conference play, the Jayhawks might be contenders in San Antonio.
5. Texas (6-2)
In the Longhorns last two games, they've clashed with teams Kansas played earlier in the year. They defeated USC in double overtime on Sept. 11, but lost to San Diego on Sept. 9. Texas ranks second in assists with 22.

With only 13 goals in nine games, the ladies in Lubbock have struggled to put up points so far in 2011. Texas Tech's sophomore goalkeeper Victoria Esson continues to impress with 30 saves, third highest in the Big 12.

The Sooners battled through a difficult non-conference schedule to stay above .500. Nonetheless, junior forward Caitlin Mooney shines for the Sooners. She was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 6 after scoring seven points in two games.

REALIGNMENT CONTINUED
Boren told ESPN.com that Oklahoma has had "warm, constructive" talks with the Pac-12 Conference. He said his main focuses are either joining the Pac-12 or staying in the Big 12 with equal revenue sharing.
"Our goal is to be an equal partner in any network, and we think it ought to be the goal of every other member of any conference that we're a part of to be an equal member of that conference," Boren said to the Associated Press. "We all ought to value each other — every single member of that conference — and none of us should seek to play a stronger leadership role than anyone else."
If, as expected, Texas and Oklahoma join the Pac-12, they would bring Texas Tech and Oklahoma State along with them. This would leave the Big 12's remaining members — Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Missouri and Baylor — with very few options.
According to the Associated Press, the Big 12 and the Big East are in active discussions on how to merge the remaining members of the two depleted conferences if Texas and Oklahoma leave.
With the departures of Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the Big East only has six football schools remaining, while also adding TCU in 2012. However, multiple reports have speculated that the ACC would add Connecticut and Rutgers, two Big East members, if the conference decided to expand to 16 teams.
The Big East schools that are left seemingly would have no other option besides merging with the remaining Big 12 if other BCS conferences do not come calling. It has yet to be determined whether the Big East's seven non-football members would be included in these discussions.
"We continue to apply all effort and resources toward assuring our members that maintaining the Big 12 is in the best interest for their institutions," Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said in a release yesterday.

Cole Aldrich AT KANSAS YEARS: 2007-2010
Cole Aldrich was one of college basketball's most intimidating defenders while at Kansas. A member of the 2008 national title team, Aldrich came into his own the following season. He averaged a double-double (double digit rebounds and points) during the 2008-2009 season while leading Kansas to the Big 12 regular season championship.
ACCOLADES
High School All-American (2007)
(2009)
- Athlon and NBC Sports' College basketball's Most Improved Player (2009)
- Recorded first triple-double in Kansas school history in 2009 (13 points, 20 rebounds, 10 blocks)
- Second all-time on Kansas single season blocked shots list with 94 (2009)
- Honorable-Mention All-American (2009)
BEFORE KANSAS
As a senior at Jefferson High in Bloomington, Minn., in 2007, Aldrich averaged more than 22 points, 17 rebounds and three blocked shots on his way to becoming a McDonald's All-American. He was named the Minnesota Player of the Year in 2007 as well. A three-time Minnesota all-state selection, he was also the first player to be named the state's Defensive Player of the Year three straight seasons.
ON TO THE NBA
Aldrich was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets with the 11th pick in the 2010 NBA draft. He was immediately traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder where he joined fellow Jayhawk Nick Collison.
A highly touted prospect coming out of high school, Aldrich was mostly a backup as a freshman in 2008 playing behind big men Darnell Jackson, Darrell Arthur and Sasha Kaun. In the 2008 national semi-final game against North Carolina, Aldrich had one of his best games of the year. He finished with 17 minutes, eight points and seven rebounds in the 84-66 victory.

Nick Collison AT KANSAS YEARS: 1999-2003
One of the most popular players of the Roy Williams era, Nick Collison was a solid contributor right off the bat, averaging 10 points per game as a freshman. He was a key player on back-to-back Final Four teams in 2002 and 2003, and he formed one of college basketball's best duos with guard Kirk Hinrich for four seasons.
ACCOLADES
- High school All-American (1999)
- His No. 4 retired at Kansas in 2004
- Big 12 Conference Player of the Year (2003)
- Member of Big 12 Conference 10th anniversary team
- All-Big 12 first team member (2001, 2003)
- Finished career as Big 12's all-time leading scorer (2,097)
ON TO THE NBA
Collison was drafted by the Seattle Sonics with the 12th overall pick in the 2002 NBA draft. He has averaged more than 17 minutes per game since the 2004-2005 season, and has played for the same franchise (now the Oklahoma City Thunder) since being drafted. He's scored 4.9 points per game for his career, including 6.6 points in this past year's playoffs.
Collision is entering the second season of a four-year contract extension which included a $6.5 million signing bonus. He is signed with the Thunder through the 2014 season, which would be his 11th consecutive year with the franchise. After the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, Collision continues to make Seattle his home. He lives there in the offseason with his wife and daughter.
THESE DAYS
In his senior season at Kansas, Collison led the layhawks to a No. 3 seed in the West region of the NCAA tournament. In a Sweet 16 matchup with Duke, Collison had one of his best performances in his four-year career. Playing against future first-round draft pick Shelden Williams, Collision dropped in 33 points while playing the entire 40 minutes of the game. He led both teams in scoring and propelled the Kansas to a 69-65 win.

Fans: Selby deserves more credit
A
After one season with the Jayhawks, former Kansas guard Josh Selby declared for the NBA draft and the Memphis Grizzlies selected him in the second round. Last Tuesday, Selby confirmed that he would be playing in Saturday's Legends of the Phog alumni exhibition game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Selby's return has me excited, but others would rather not see him. The animosity toward Josh Selby should drop; not only for the exhibition game, but for good.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
OPPORTUNITY
Maybe Josh Selby should have stayed for another year, but people can't blame the guy for leaving. The opportunity was there and he took advantage.
The NBA draft is all about potential. Selby's numbers weren't great, but he showed enough
talent to be a decent option as a backup point guard for the Grizzlies. Selby had better stats than Kentucky's Daniel Orton, a first-round draft pick. Orton averaged three points and three rebounds for Kentucky. Selby had a better season.
Selby came to Kansas as a one-and-done player and when players have that mindset, they usually leave for the NBA if the opportunity presents itself.
INJURY
Yes, Selby struggled at the end
of the year, and this changed thoughts about him, but people forget that Selby was injured.
Before the injury, Selby averaged 27 minutes and 12 points in 13 games. He stepped up to help the Jayhawks win in his debut against Southern California — a solid contribution until he missed three games because of a foot injury.
After that, Selby averaged 14 minutes and 3.8 points in the final 13 games. The injury to his foot hindered his play significantly. If Selby had been injury-free, the optimism and compliments would have stayed with him throughout the season.
XAVIER HENRY
Among the 12 former Jayhawks currently in the NBA, the first one-and-done player at Kansas, Xavier Henry, will travel to Allen Fieldhouse to participate in
the alumni game. No big deal, but when Henry confirmed that he would be playing, people weren't commenting about it. Henry was a one-year player and struggled at the end of the season like Selby.
The statistics for Henry are better than Selby's, but Henry still left for the NBA with "subpar" numbers. Henry played 10 more games than Selby, averaged seven more minutes, six more points and shot 46 percent from the field. Henry started his college career with 27 points but struggled near the end of the season and in the NCAA tournament.
Yet, while averaging 13 points, Henry entered the season as a one-and-done and left on the same conditions as Selby. If there is no animosity for Henry's return, then there shouldnt be for Selby.

Sports complex opens in Hays
HAYS — The city of Hays has a new place to play.
The 120-acre Bickle-Schmidt Sports Complex opened earlier this month in the northwestern Kansas city. The $8 million facility features the soccer stadium where Fort Hays State University athletes will compete. There also are multiple fields for amateur athletes to play soccer as well as softball, baseball and football.
The university invested about $2.6 million in the project, and Hays residents are supporting it with a half-cent sales tax.
The projects also benefited from $500,000 from the Bickle and Schmidt families, $160,000 from Nex-Tech Wireless, $25,000 from Nex-Tech and $11,000 worth of road paving help from a construction company.

COMMENTARY
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
WHAT WENT WRONG
in the fourth round Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Ortiz — who was sporting a jayhawk on his trunks — was able to back Mayweather into a corner and beate him with body and head shots while "Money" did his best to defend himself.
While Ortiz was trying to jockey for position on the shelled-up Mayweather, he caught him with an obvious, but possibly accidental, headburt. Ortiz was immediately pulled off and went to apologize to Mayweather whispering something in his ear before being separated by the referee again.
COMMENTARY
As the fight was about to resume, Ortiz was granted a break and went up to apologize for a second time. He offered Mayweather a hug, which was accepted briefly before Mayweather stepped back and shocked the building with a left and right hook, knocking Ortiz out before he had a chance to defend himself.
For the next two weeks, the Floyd "Money" Mayweather Ir. vs. "Vicious" Victor Ortiz fight will be getting national attention. Newsrooms will be buzzing about the events that took place, columnists will discuss the fight's ending, talk shows will wonder if Larry Merchant could have kicked Mayweather's ass 50 years ago, and the World Boxine Council will look on smiling.
After the fight, legendary 80-year-old boxing analyst Larry Merchant interviewed Mayweather in the ring where he confronted "Money" about the events leading to the knockout, which was considered by many as a cheap shot. Upon being asked if it was, in fact, a cheap shot, "Money" responded by telling Merchant that he "doesn't know shit about boxing," and that "HBO needs to fire your ass," to which Merchant now-famously said "If I was 50 years younger, I'd kick your ass."
Sportswriters like to throw around the phrase "the fight that can save boxing." It was used when Mayweather fought Oscar De La Hoya, it was used when De La Hoya fought Pacquiao, again when Mayweather fought Shane Mosley and again when Pacquiao took on Ricky Hatton.
One fight can't fix boxing
There may not be a single fight that saves boxing — even if Pacquiao and Mayweather finally decide to square off — but what there can be is a series of fights that draw attention and build interest in the sport, not just for one primetime night, but for multiple events. Then we sportswriters can talk about the fights that saved boxing, not the single event.
Edited by Ben Chipman
Sports fans couldn't have been more stunned by the series of transgressions that took place.
Behind all the hoopla and arguments over cheap shots, the undeniable truth is that during a weekend where there were countless need-to-watch college football and NFL games, the matchup that provided the most intriguing story — and best water cooler conversation — came from a sport many consider dead.
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
I honestly don't believe that today's two best boxers will'll get a contract done. However what "Money" proved last Saturday night is that even without setting up the potential "Fight of the Decade," boxing can make headlines — albeit not always for the right reasons.
A look at the events of the Big 12 breakdown
If all press is good press, the WBC should be on top of the world. In his post-fight interviews, Mayweather offered Ortiz a rematch, and danced around the question of fighting Manny Pacquiao, never officially saying that he wouldn't fight him.

Time to recover
Bye week will allow football team to heal and regroup after Georgia Tech

mvernon@kansan.com
In sports, timing is often a crucial element in the final outcome of any game or season. For the Jayhawks, the bye week comes at a crucial point in their season as non-conference play closes and Big 12 play begins.
Limping into their bye week after an embarrassing 66-24 loss against Georgia Tech gives the Jayhawks a good opportunity to recuperate and recover from early-season problems and injuries.
The Jayhawks don't have a
"Were 2-1 and I think were moving forward," coach Turner Gill said. "It's good timing for us with where we at for a few little injuries."
long list of injuries putting holes in their depth chart, but they do have some key players who have been unable to play recently.
The defensive line is missing two starters because of injury. Without tackles Pat Dorsey and John Williams, the jayhawks clearly showed their lack of depth, allowing more than 600 rushing yards.
Senior receiver Daymond Patterson, a leader and veteran presence, has been out since suffering a groin injury in the first game of the season.
Yet Dorsey may have time during the bye week to recover to see the field next Saturday against Texas Tech. Dorsey injured his foot before the season and was expected to be out six to eight weeks.
Patterson is often the Jayhawks' first receiving target. His speed and shiftiness make him a big-play threat, something the receiving corps missed in his absence.
The coaching staff hopes to have him back in time for the start of conference play next Saturday.
Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd stepped up briefly with Patterson sideline. Shepherd, though, suffered an undisclosed injury that kept him out of the Georgia Tech game, but he should play against Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks will also use the bye week to correct a defense that has given up an average of 550 yards a game.
Far too often, players have blown assignments, missed tackles and looked downright confused in the Jayhawks' first three games this season. The opposing teams have gained an average of 8.5 yards a play, which is a recipe that won't produce many wins.
This is where first-year defensive coordinator Vic Shealy comes into play. Shealy took a lot of flak for what happened against Georgia Tech, and he'll use the bye week to make corrections.
"We'll go back into those first two ball games and pinpoint about half a dozen points where I know we're not where we need to be with some coverage issues," Shealy said. "There will be very specific marching orders placed on me by our defense."

Paul Please once said "every act of creation is first an act of destruction." The Southwest Conference dissolved in 1994. The Big 12 was founded that same year, but 1996 was its first season as a conference.
Four teams — Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech — joined the Big 12.
The Big 12 enjoyed a stable relationship for 13 years until Missouri governor Jay Nixon said the University of Missouri should join the Big Ten.
The Big Ten expanded in June 2010, but Nebraska, not Missouri, was added as the conference's 12th school. Colorado, along with Utah, moved to the Pac-10 to form the Pac-12.
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M all remained in the conference, which looked to be saved for another 10 years after agreeing to new revenue sharing.
"Texas A&M is a proud member of the Big 12 Conference and will continue to be affiliated with the conference in the future," Texas A&M school president R. Bowen Loftin said in a statement in June of 2010.
Texas, the savior of the conference the summer of 2010, also turned out to be the eventual destructive force. Texas became too big for its own good until Loftin had enough. When the conference was created in 1996, Texas and the other Southwest Conference schools had to play by the Big Eight's rules. However, Texas wanted to play the conference championship game in Texas and restrict partial academic qualifiers in the league. Texas got what it wanted and the league's offices moved to Dallas.
Texas A&M was fine until Texas wanted to televise high school games. The Aggies wanted out of the conference and on Sept. 7 the Southeastern Conference accepted the Aggies as the 13th member.
The Longhorn Network set off a chain of changes as each school wanted to put itself in a favorable position. Connecticut and Syracuse went to the ACC, which increased its exit fee to $20 million if a school leaves.
Things seemed to be OK until Jan. 19. ESPN and Texas joined to create the Longhorn Network. All 10 presidents and chancellors agreed on the network. Texas was key to the conference remaining intact, which is why it was approved.
More will be uncovered soon, as Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech are looking to jump ship.
At this point, Kansas is waiting until everything unfolds and is weighing its options.
The Kansan will have continued coverage as conference realignment becomes clearer.

Students in the University of Kansas School of Law assist wrongly convicted individuals through a unique program offered at the University. Established in 1965, the Paul E. Wilson Project for Innocence and Post Conviction Remedies allow law students to provide legal services for indigent inmates.
- There have been 273 post-conviction DNA exoneration in the United States.
- The first DNA exoneration took place in 1989. Exonerations have been won in 34 states; since 2000, there have been 206 exonerations.
- 17 of the 273 people exonerated through DNA served time on death row.
    - The average length of time served by exonerees: 13 years.
    - The total number of years served: 3,524.
- The average age of exonerees at the time of their wrongful convictions: 27.

Every year, the project selects 14 to 20 students, usually in their second year of studies, to work on the project for one year. Every week in class, students spend two hours learning about criminal law and an additional 10 hours investigating cases of inmates who might have been wrongfully convicted. They look at

worth."
Poor representation, false confessions, and wrongful eyewitness testimony are just a few of the reasons why a defendant might be wrongfully convicted. However, reexamining DNA evidence has proved to be successful in exonerating innocent inmates. According to the Project, there have been 273 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the US, and 17 of them served on death row. DNA has been used to exonerate inmates since 1989. The average exoneree spent 13 years behind bars, for a total of 3,524 wrongful years served, according to the Project.
Jenn McLaury, a third year law student from Leawood, said sloppiness in police work is one reason for some of the wrong convictions.
"The DNA technology just didn't exist for some of these cases," McLaury said.

Apogee receives mixed reviews
ADAM STRUNK

The University's switch to a private Internet service provider will likely mean slower Internet for students living in residential housing, unless they are willing to shell out some extra cash.
This semester the University contracted Apogee, the country's largest ResNet Internet service provider, to oversee Internet access in the residence halls. Apogee replaces the inhouse KU IT ResNet. Ann Ermey, KU IT's program director of service management and delivery, said that the University switched to Apogee to provide students with better service and more options
"Our previous service had a device charge. The service was on one tier," Ermey said. "What you paid for was what you got. It wasn't fair and equitable."
Unlike KU IT ResNet, Apogee allows users the option of a landline phone, as well as free Internet for an additional device such as an iPad or Xbox 360. The plan also sells Internet speeds in tiers, which ensures users always receive the amount of bandwidth that they purchased, but nothing more.
However, some complain that the cheapest plan is far slower than last semester's Internet service.
The cheapest plan, which advertises a download speed of 1 megabit per second (Mbps), costs $98 per semester, the same as the KU IT Resnet plan did.
Andrew Petracca, who lives across campus in Battenfield Scholarship Hall,
"I figured if it was the same price as last year it would be the same speed but it's definitely not," said Kim Davidson, a senior from Austin, Tex., living in Jayhawker Towers.

Students' signatures represented their pledge to stop hazing on Wescoe Beach as part of National Hazing Prevention Week. Students signed the hazing wall as their pledge to start a new tradition to end hazing. Prevention week is sponsored by StopHazing.org and is planned at the beginning of the year when students start joining clubs. It prompts students to think about what is and isn't acceptable behavior.

VERACRUZ, MEXICO
The legislature of Mexico's Veracruz state approved a law intended to end terrorism charges filed against a man and a woman who allegedly caused a panic by tweeting rumors of purported drug cartel shootouts.
The legislation passed Tuesday creates' a disturbance of the peace charge so prosecutors can revise the indictments against Gilberto Martinez and Maria de Jesus Bravo.
They were charged last month with terrorism and sabotage after tweeted reports of violence caused panic in Veracruz city.
Duarte hasn't set a date for signing the legislation into law.
Veracruz Gov. Javier Duarte proposed the change earlier this month, citing pressure over the tweeting case from the Roman Catholic Church and civic groups.
LONDON
British police have been given more time to question six men arrested in what officials called a significant counterterrorism operation.
The suspects, aged 25 to 32, were detained Monday in the central England city of Birmingham, on suspicion of "the commission, preparation or instigation" of a terrorist act.
Officials said the arrests related to Islamic extremism and were one of the year's most significant anti-terror operations.
Terrorist suspects can be held for up to 14 days before they must be charged or released.
Police said Tuesday they had been given until midnight Sunday to charge the men, release them or apply for a further extension.
A woman arrested on suspicion of failing to disclose information about terrorism has been released on bail.
CAIRO
The Al-jazeera satellite TV channel has announced Tuesday that its director has stepped down after serving the network for eight years.
Wadah Khanfar's resignation follows release of documents by Wikileaks, purporting to show he had close ties with the U.S. and agreed to remove some content in response to American objections.
The leaked U.S. diplomatic cable dated October 2010 indicated that Khanfar was in constant contact with the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, responding to U.S. complaints of negative coverage and promising to tone down items on the station's website. The cables referred to Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs as "MFA" which passed him some of the DIA reports.
Al-Jazeera said in a statement that Khanfar expressed his desire to resign in July, and that his replacement was arranged one month ago.

An east German regional train struck a car and de railed Tuesday, injuring more than 20 people, officials said.
The driver of the car managed to get out before the accident. Henkel said.
He said three of the train cars derailed and one tipped over on its side.
Six people were seriously injured and another 15 received minor injuries, according to local officials. News agency dapd said regional federal police chief Wieland Mozdzynski and Saxony's state transport minister, Sven Mortok, issued those figures during a visit to the scene — revising downward initial police reports that nine people were seriously injured and another 40 lightly injured.
Helicopters flew the most seriously injured to local hospitals for treatment.
Retelling 1994 South African election
BRENDAN O'FARRELL

It was the end of the nightmare. The 1994 election in South Africa brought about the end of apartheid, and brought in president Nelson Mandela.
Tom Baxter, a journalist with 40 years of experience, relived his part in the 1994 election during Pizza and Politics Tuesday in the Parlor Room at the Kansas Union, with a musical soundtrack to bring the spirit of South Africa to the University.
[Image of a classroom with students seated at tables, some engaged in discussions and others focused on their laptops. The room has a large window allowing natural light to enter.]
Music always seemed to be present during Baxter's experiences, such as crowded buses of South Africans traveling down the interstate singing an almost religious, hymn-sounding song. The lyrics were strictly political and when translated into English, were quite vulgar.
A religious-style song called one of the candidates opposing Mandaela a Buthelezi, meaning 'mother f-er,' and blamed him for current economic and social problems.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Spontaneous singing also marked significant events, such as when the old South African flag was triumphantly pulled down and replaced with the new South African flag. The huge crowd watching the ceremony broke out cheering and sang the new unofficial national anthem, Baxter said.
This election marked a significant advance in social progress and held parallels to southern politics.
years. Black South Africans, a majority of the population in South Africa, had been denied the right to vote up until the 1994 election, but almost everyone turned up to vote in this election.
Integration, which took the United States 20 years to achieve, had only taken South Africa two
Baxter said eight-hour lines extended from one polling place to the next.
He added the sick and physically impaired walked up three flights of stairs one step at a time, despite various disabilities. One man, after pointing to Nelson Mandela on the ballot, actually died; perhaps his will to vote for Mandela was the only thing keeping him alive at that point.
Journalist Tom Baxter talks to students during Pizza and Politics Tuesday afternoon in the Kansas Union. Hosted by Dole Institute of Politics, Baxter talked about his coverage of the 1994 South Africa election of Nelson Mandela. "We wanted to try and take a picture of the country. To try and capture something about the country that other news organizations weren't trying to do," said Baxter.
Baxter said there was more participation in this election than in most U.S. elections.
"This atmosphere takes a sometimes intimidating subject like politics and brings it down to a friendly level," said Lexie Clark, a junior from Fort Collins, Colo., who is also the Pizza and Politics coordinator. "It also allows for the speakers to experiment with new ways to bring their experiences alive as Tom Baxter showed through his personal recordings which varied from South Africans doing the Toyi-toyi dance, to a political song insulting Buthelezi."
It was easy to picture crowds of people cheering as the new South African flag was hoisted up especially in the low key atmosphere of a luncheon discussion.

agreed with Davidson's analysis.
"It's like I am in the 1990s again," said Petraca, a sophomore from La Habra, Calif. "It's a really good day for Internet if I can watch a YouTube video uninterrupted without waiting for it to load."
Petracaa said that as a music major, he needed to regularly stream videos from the Internet as part of class assignments. Still, Petracaa did not wish to spend extra money on faster Apogee plans.
"There are so many other expenses," Petracca said. "I am already paying out-of-state tuition."
The way the service is billed has also affected students. Davidson said she had heard people complain about Apogee's billing options.
"In the past you could bill your charge to your account, but this one you have to pay up front," she said. "There are a lot of people who had to put off buying Internet until they got the next paycheck."
Petracca, Davidson and others can offer anecdotes about the difference in service, but actual Internet speed comparisons between KU IT Resnet and Apogee are difficult to make. Ermey said KU IT did not have records on KU IT ResNet's speed, because, in part, its speed varied throughout campus.
WHAT HAPPENED TO PREVIOUS KU IT RESNET EMPLOYEES?
Ann Ermey, KU IT program director, said KU IT gave any previous KU IT ResNet employees the opportunity to transfer to different IT positions. She said that nearly all of the employees, about 20, did so.
She also said that the University did not have large financial motivations for the switch. She said that the University is not paying Apogee for its services and is not saving a large amount of money from dissolving Net because resources will be diverted to other projects, such as improved computer labs and on-campus Wi-Fi.
Ermey added that Apogee is also working to improve campus Internet by shifting all of the residence halls to Wi-Fi in the near future.
Under KU IT Resnet, students shared bandwidth throughout the residence halls. Ermey said that it operated on a first-come, first-served basis. The Internet slowed or sped up depending on slack and peak times. Unlike KU IT Resnet, Apogee regulates the Internet speed of each user, ensuring a more equitable sharing of bandwidth.

Students who finished working for the project learned a lot during the past year.

"Law school is very theoretical and this is very practical," said Sean Foley, a third year law student from
Prairie Village. "We call clients, visit prisons, file documents, and work with our supervisors to write briefs."
Because the Project is part of the law school, students have direct access to faculty, who they can consult when they have questions on cases.
Aside from the experience, students working for the Project also enjoy the benefit they provide to others, especially for Elizabeth Landou, a third year law student from Shawnee.

Plan a bold step to improve graduation rate
EDITORIAL
University of Kansas' new strategic plan is truly a 'bold' attempt
The plan is titled "Bold Aspirations," and it's the guide that Administration will use to construct policies governing the University for the next six years.
at increasing students' academic success.
By making the formation of a new University curriculum and the reduction of general education course requirements key items in the plan, the senior administration headed by Provost Jeffrey Vitter has recognized an issue that has been cutting at students' ability to graduate.
Dismal graduation rates at the University set us under many of our peer institutions. University of Texas sits pretty with an 81 percent six-year graduation rate.
Texas A&M University follows at 80 percent, while University of Iowa and University of Missouri drop to 69 and 68 percent respectively. Meanwhile, Kansas holds at 61 percent.
This doesn't mean the University is a poor institution, but it does have problems retaining and graduating students. Through Bold Aspirations, Vitter and the rest of administration have shown their commitment to making it easier and more feasible for students to get an undergraduate degree and a job in the bleak economy.
Currently, the University's requirements are focused on making students take general education courses for the first two years. For many students, this means taking around 60 credit hours before moving on to the
core classes for their majors.
core classes for their majors.
Other comparable universities have more liberal general requirements for graduation. University of Oklahoma requires 40 general credit hours. Missouri sticks with 39 hours, while University of Nebraska requires 36 hours and Indiana University, 29 hours.
Students at the University shouldn't be forced to take 15 hours a semester, for four semesters just to get rid of general requirements. In an uneasy economy, it's to the students' best interests to gain more experience and take more classes in their majors of choice. To be well rounded, a student doesn't need more than two to three semesters of general courses anymore.
Along with graduating more students, lowering the graduation requirements also makes it easier for students to explore double majors and study abroad opportunities.
Although there has been talk all over the University in favor for reducing credit hour requirements, the strategic plan finally puts the idea to paper; it gives Administration a blueprint to follow for the next six years.
Administration should continue to look for ways to help students enter the job market prepared, and student leaders should continue dialogue with Administration to make sure the strategic plan is implemented with students' best interests at the forefront.

Tax cuts only put a patch on problems
Last week, President Obama spoke to Congress about a jobs plan that he claims will correct the financial crisis our country faces today.
President Obama outlined his plan in four points: tax cuts for small businesses, an infrastructure program which would increase government spending on construction projects across the country, incentives for companies hiring unemployed workers, and payroll tax cuts. Finally, the president claimed that this plan would add nothing to the federal debt and yearly deficit. The bill certainly sounds good, but is it enough to correct this crisis in the long run? And is it truly paid for? The answer to both of these questions is
By Alex Boyer aboyer@kansan.com
a resounding "no."
The president's plan has plenty of small tax cuts and temporary tax rebates designed to "spur small business growth." Temporary tax cuts have been attempted in the past by President George W. Bush. These temporary cuts came to be known as the "Bush Tax Cuts" and have since been allowed to expire.
Why? Because they didn't work. Temporary cuts are only a patch over the real problem, the country's tax code is a mess and needs to be completely reformed. The President's proposal does not even approach this problem.
Also, there is a question whether or not this bill is paid for. The president claims that the bill is completely paid for as part of his long-term debt reduction plan. It is hard for me to see how a bill that, according to the president's own numbers, is going to cost $450 billion. The president has asked for the joint deficit "supercommittee" created this summer to find more savings in order to pay for the bill. The truth is that the president has no idea where the money for this program is going to come from; he's asking someone else to figure that out for him. Plus, saving $850 billion in our current debt situation is better than saving $850 billion just to immediately spend it again. Spending it again is not
going to help us climb out of our national debt.
Maybe the president has a different idea what success for this bill would be. Maybe the president just wants to show that he attempted to fix the problem. After spending this summer in D.C. working for an internship, I learned the importance of posturing in politics. The debt ceiling crisis this summer provided several examples when House Republicans and Senate Democrats passed bills knowing they would never become law, just to say they attempted a solution. Even if the bill fails, it could give the president something to work with next year during his campaign.
this all plays out. I think this is the president's last chance to solidify his standing on the economy before the election in 2012. Until now, Obama has been losing on the economy to the Republicans, and a recent poll even shows GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney with a slight lead over Obama. If this bill succeeds, President Obama stands a much higher chance of winning re-election. If it fails, we may have a new President-elect in just over a year.
It will be interesting to see how

HEALTH
Home treatments offer easy relief
Feeling not-so-hot today? Try some home remedies.
I don't know about you, but I am sick or injured just about all of the time. And no, I'm not a hypochondriac. I just have an awful immune system, sadly. Half of the time I just ignore my health problems because I hate dealing with them. More than that, though. I hate taking medicine. But, I'm not going to lie; you can frequently find me popping ibuprofen.
Last week, a friend made some mint iced tea, which was delectable. He said that mint tea is very soothing on the stomach and can help when you have a tummy ache. That got me to thinking about other ways to cure or decrease sickness without medicine.
Along the tea track, drinking green tea helps fight off allergies and colds, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Allergens have been intense recently so I'll probably be drinking copious amounts of green tea until a freeze finally happens (I mean, it is only September).
Something else that commonly afflicts people, including myself of course, is a headache. You know the saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Well, it also keeps the headache away too. Another cure, according the MRI Technician Schools' website, is soaking a washcloth in warm water with cinnamon in it. Yes, that sounds weird, but I bet it works and will definitely be trying that next time I am headache-ridden, which will probably be tomorrow given my awesome health.
There are even home remedies for depression and anxiety. I know this will be a relief to at least some
By Rachel Schwartz rschwartz@kansan.com
people because I have friends who refuse to go to the doctor and take pills for these disorders. All of the stress of trying to find jobs, being broke and the intense amounts of homework just adds to that. Also, with winter around the corner, some will be affected with seasonal affective disorder.
While the following relievers don't cure you, they can greatly reduce symptoms. For anxiety, adding 1/3 cup of both baking soda and ginger to your bath water are said to reduce tension and anxiety, according to an article from Associated Content. Yes, this seems strange but hey, if it helps, why not try it? The article also says aroma of oranges or drinking orange juice with honey and nutmeg added reduces anxiety and a racing heart.
Now for depression: eat an apple with a glass of milk and some honey to recharge your nerves with energy and reduces the chemicals that cause depression. Another more unusual sounding treatment is adding rose petals and sugar to a cup of boiling water to drink. I mean roses do smell good so they must taste good too, right?
All of these natural remedies are easy to put together, not too time consuming and fairly inexpensive. Also, they seem so much better than swallowing weird chemicals in pill form. With these remedies, at least you know what you're putting into your body.

Two pudgy-faced freshmen from Philadelphia came to Lawrence in 2008 and seemed a bit out of place. Flat brim caps and an East Coast style just didn't mesh with Kansas. But it didn't take long before the Morris twins fit in around town like they were free-state bred.
In their freshman and sophomore seasons, the Morris weren't the focal point of the team; that role was assigned to Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich.
They were, however, absolute keys to the Big 12 Championship that the Jayhawks won in 2009, and the 33-3 record in 2010.
When Collins and Aldrich were gone, the Morris twins were the undeniable leaders of the Jayhawks. It was only for one year that Kansas was truly their team, but it was a treat nonetheless. Both Markieff and Marcus continued to develop their outside game, while remaining ferocious in the paint.
They never won a national title, but the Morris twins will always be remembered by the Jayhawk faithful with warm thoughts.
ON TO THE NBA
Few could blame the Morrison for jumping to the NBA after their junior year when their stock was at its pinnacle. The twins signed with agent Tony Dutt of Rival Sports Group, LLC, and declared for the 2011 NBA draft. What happened next proved how much they meant to one another.
A DEFINING MOMENT
Jayhawk fans loved Markieff's toughness, but Marcus was the true star. However, on June 23, 2011 — NBA draft night — Markieff was selected before his brother with the 13th pick by the Phoenix Suns. After hearing his name, he kissed and hugged his mother, Angel, then hugged Marcus. A reporter with ESPN asked teary-eyed Marcus how he would handle being separated from his brother for the first time. Marcus said that he's just happy for his brother, and that it's not the end of the world.
"I'll send him some flowers or some fruit," Marcus said.
Seven minutes later, the same amount of time separating their births, Marcus was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 14th pick.
It was a storybook start to two NBA careers with tremendous promise.

Falcons exorcise the ghost of Michael Vick
MORNING BREW
I remember exactly where I was when Michael Vick pleaded guilty to charges stemming from his involvement in a dog fighting ring.
It was the first week of my senior year of high school and I was driving my brothers home from school as the news broke. My first reaction was shock and then the anger set in.
Michael Vick was a man that had everything in the city of Atlanta. He was the city's biggest icon since Hank Aaron. Maybe even bigger; I saw his No. 7 Falcons jerseys everywhere. He was the leader of a promising franchise, and he threw it all away by killing does.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Now, four years later, Vick is tenaciously trying to redeem himself and restore his image. Vick had a surprising breakout season last year for the Eagles and he performed at a
higher level than he ever did in Atlanta. He cashed in on his second career $100 million contract and he is the face of Philadelphia's "Dream Team." On top of that, Vick has been actively involved with the Humane Society's battle against dog fighting.
Redemption accomplished, right? I'm not sold.
No matter what Vick does, I will see him as the man who betrayed a city that loved
him. Plus, no fanbase deserves to go through nearly an entire year of Joey Harrington as quarterback.
After losing the centerpiece of its franchise, the Falcons were fortunate to draft Matt Ryan from Boston College in 2008. With an offense built around Ryan, Michael Turner and Roddy White, the Falcons are considered Super Bowl contenders by many of the media outlets. However, no matter how good the Falcons are, a large portion of Atlanta still has a strong emotional attachment to No. 7.
A sometimes fickle fanbase, much of Atlanta cheers for Vick first and the Falcons second. I honestly expected Vick to receive a hero's welcome when he returned to the Georgia Dome Sunday night. I thought the Eagles would hand the Falcons their second loss of the season. To my pleasant surprise, I
was wrong on both counts.
The Falcons needed to win that game as a team and as a city. Other than a few scattered Vick jerseys, Georgia Dome's crowd was almost entirely behind No. 2 rather than No. 7. Ryan did not disappoint, and he was able to overcome a constant Philadelphia pass rush and throw for a career-high four touchdowns. The Falcons were able to beat Vick's Eagles 35-31 and complete the much-needed exorcism.
Although he won't admit it, the game against the Eagles had to be especially important to Matt Ryan. Despite the fact that Ryan rejuvenated a franchise that looked doomed when Vick was serving time in Leavemworth, he still seemingly had to live in the shadow of Michael Vick.

Sub-par finish at home invitational disappoints
LAUREN DRUMMOND
Idrummond@kansan.com
The Jayhawk men's golf team placed fifth out of 12 teams this week at the Kansas Invitational. The team's collective score was 884 strokes. That was 10 more strokes than first place UMKC. The Jayhawks entered the final round in fourth place but ended the round in fifth. Meanwhile, UMKC climbed four spots on the final day of play to finish in
first place.
Kansas was lead by junior Paul Harris who shot a three-round score of 220 strokes, placing eleventh individually. He shot a final round of 75.
"I hit some good shots and had some good looks, but nothing fell," Harris said in a news release. "I knew if I shot a couple under par I had a really good chance to win it, but it's been a while since I've been around par, so I'm moving in the right direction. I'm looking forward to next tournament. Hopefully, I'll be under par."
Eight other Kansas golfers placed in the top 100, with juniors Alex Gutesha and Chris Gilbert and freshman Dylan McClure all tied for 15th place with three-round collective scores of 222 strokes. McClure had the best round of any Jayhawk in the tournament with a final round score of 72 strokes. Gilbert jumped 24 spots on the final day
after carding a final-round score of 73 strokes.
Coach Kit Grove was expecting more from his team, especially since they were competing in their only home tournament of the year. The tournament, which took place at the Alvamar Country Club in Lawrence, is the course the team is most familiar with.
"It's very disappointing," Grove said in a news release. "This is our home turf, and we
putted awful. This a good, hard golf course, but we did way too many things well to have the scores we had this week."
The Jayhawks will travel to Lexington, Ky., next week where they will compete in the Cardinal Intercollegiate on Monday and Tuesday.

COMMENTARY
Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Kansas must act quickly
An eerie silence hovers over the University as students and faculty await the University's future conference affiliation.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and the Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger have remained too quiet throughout these grim times of conference realignment. I am not saying that Gray-Little, Zenger and other University officials have not worked tirelessly to ensure that Kansas remains a member of an automatic qualifying BCS conference, but I am arguing that they have handled conference realignment poorly by remaining quiet.
By staying committed to the Big 12, they are trying to protect their image, and not come off as desperate, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Emmy Award winning actor Kyle Chandler, who starred as Coach Taylor in "Friday Night Lights", once said, "Opportunities does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door."
It may be too little too late for Zenger and Gray-Little, but they need to start banging down some doors before Kansas is left out of an elite conference.
When the sun's rays began to shine on Mt. Oread Saturday morning, the University of Kansas was content with its options in the conference realignment mess.
Texas and the ACC had become pals, and it seemed that Kansas was going to get to tag along. If that fell through, the Pac-12 and Big East would be potential suitors. Then, just as Floyd Mayweather blinded Victor Ortiz, the ACC knocked Kansas unconscious.
The ACC acquired Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The conference also expressed its desire to keep its East Coast identity by potentially adding Connecticut and Rutgers instead of Texas and Kansas.
Texas followed by turning its horns west. The latest reports have claimed that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State have tried to work things out and join the Pac-12.
Instead of being proactive during the shameful collapse of geographical and historical ties, the University has been passive in publicly reaching out to other conferences. If they remain on stand by, keeping their eyes closed, and hoping to land in a BCS conference, they will be sorry.
Maybe Gray-Little and Zenger are helpless and are working the phones behind the scenes to no avail. Maybe they have no other choice, and must wait and seek no one really knows.
B I do know this, if I were Gray-Little; or Zenger with conferences and schools beginning to make their moves, I would bang down every door I could to ensure that the University is in charge and isn't left out in the cold.
Gray-Little and Zenger have continued to state that they remain committed to the Big 12, a conference that is on its death bed.
Edited by C.J. Matson,
Things are changing on a daily basis. Texas may eventually turn its head back to the ACC, but for now, that does not look likely. The Big East — Kansas' fallback option — is depleted now that Syracuse and Pittsburgh are leaving, and Connecticut and Rutgers could follow suit.
Right now Kansas, along with Kansas State, Iowa State, and Baylor are being left out in the cold.

FUN WITH FITNESS
NATHAN FORDYCE editor@kansan.com
Former Jayhawks, Nick Collison and Cole Aldrich, returned to help with fitness at the Boys & Girls Club yesterday afternoon.
The current Oklahoma City Thunder teammates were there to tip off the first FitClub34 in Lawrence and help 35 fourth-graders with basketball techniques at the Boys & Girls Club on Haskell Avenue. The FitClub34 was founded by former Jayhawk and current Boston Celtic, Paul Pierce in 2002. The event was sponsored by the Assists Foundation and Kansas Athletics.
WILSON
The former layhawks were more than happy to help out with the first event. They had stations set up that helped improve the kids shooting and passing, while receiving positive encouragement from the players.
"I love doing things like this," said Aldrich. "Giving back to the community has always been close to my heart."
Collision stressed that getting kids physically involved at a young age is important.
"A lot of the time, children start out on the wrong path with bad health and they continue that their whole life," Collison said. "So, it's good to educate kids on how to be healthy and to be fit."
Basketball coach Bill Self wrote in a email, "We're excited about this partnership. Paul [Pierce] is as passionate as we are about encouraging kids to get active and live healthy lives. Providing unique opportunities for them to do that and be rewarded for it, is a win for everybody."
The kids who participated at the club received activity watches, which track how long they have been exercising. For every 60 minutes, the kids receive a code that can earn them prizes like a signed basketball and/or signed t-shirt by Paul Pierce.
Zimmerman said that the club hopes to reach the 60 minutes each week and for the club come to the University for a basketball camp next year.
Erika Zimmerman, director of development for the Boys & Girls Club, said she hopes the event can continue every year, but this was a trial run. Her goal is to have every kid in all the clubs to be able to get watches and participate in the challenge by May.

BIG 12
Conference tells Tigers: wait a SEC
ajoseph@kansan.com
I ANDREW JOSEPH
Texas A&M is already on its way out of the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference, but the Aggies may have some familiar company.
The Kansas City Star reported Tuesday that the University of Missouri has received an offer to be the 14th member of an expanded SEC, but SEC associate commissioner Charles Bloom said otherwise.
"The SEC has not extended an invitation to any school beyond Texas A&M," Bloom said in a statement retweeted by the SEC.
There was speculation that
Missouri had not jumped on the alleged invitation yet because the school is reportedly waiting for the Big 12 to dissolve before making any decisions regarding new conference affiliation. In addition, it would not be in Missouri's best interest financially to leave the conference when there is still a Big 12 exit fee in place.
Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden and Chancellor Brady Deaton have been two of the biggest proponents of keeping the Big 12 intact, so it appears that they are not looking to commit to a new conference for the time being. But Missouri's stance could easily change given the fast-moving
nature of conference realignment.
"Brady is our chair of the Big 12, and he's going to continue to do everything he can to keep the Big 12 together," Alden told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I understand there's a lot of things going on out there, but that's his primary focus, is to do what he thinks he can to keep that together."
These latest developments with Missouri fall right in line with a CBS Sports report that West Virginia University was rejected by both the Atlantic Coast Conference and SEC. West Virginia was considered by many as one of the most viable candidates to join the SEC, so the word of WVU's outright
rejection came as a surprise.
It is very possible that the SEC is only looking to add one more team, but with the ACC members virtually locked-in by the new $20 million exit fee, all signs still point to Missouri being team No. 14. West Virginia's questionable academic standing could be the primary reason the school was overlooked, while Missouri, on the other hand, is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities.
With ACC and SEC off the table, the Mountaineers' only option appears to be the potential Big 12-Big East hybrid conference. According to ESPN, officials from
Vo
all the Big East football schools, except ACC-bound Pittsburgh and Syracuse, were scheduled to meet in New York Tuesday night to discuss the conference's options.
In a late development Tuesday, The Daily Oklahoman reported the University of Oklahoma will consider remaining in the Big 12 only if Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe leaves the position. The Big 12 Board of Directors would have to reach a majority vote to fire Beebe.
A source told The Oklahoma it would take major reforms for OU to remain in the Big 12.

The KU Spanish language table meets at Henry's upstairs for snacks and good conversation. The language tables allow students interested in conversing in different languages to meet in a relaxed setting.

Students meet to socialize in different languages
BRITTANY CLAMPITT bclampitt@kansan.com
In the dark, relaxed atmosphere of a downtown Lawrence coffee shop and bar, two groups of friends meet to chat, laugh and generally enjoy each other's company. The gatherings are like the average meetings of a group of college students, but these friends are there for more than just chitchat. They're there to speak another language.
Every Thursday evening at Henry's Coffee Shop in downtown Lawrence, Spanish and French language students meet to socialize.
"It's a great way for people to make friendships and explore foreign language and culture together," said Andrew Pettavel, president of Cercle Français, the club that hosts the table.
With no set conversation topics and no grades, the tables provide students with nopressure situations to help develop language skills.
"There's always this feeling that when
youre in school, you have to be in school," said Nathan Presnell, president of the Graduate Association of Spanish and Portuguese, or GRASP. GRASP organizes the Spanish language tables.
Many of the French and Spanish speakers at the two tables hold the same views of the tables as Pettavel and Presnell. Erin Kinney, a junior from Manhattan, said the Spanish table is a better learning environment because there is no way to be wrong. The attendees simply come together to talk about anything from their week to the latest soccer match.
Though it is held on campus for convenience, the BCS table offers the same casual and comfortable environment as the French and Spanish tables.
There are other language programs that also have tables for their speakers. The Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, or BCS, table meets at noon on Thursday in Anschutz Library.
"it's a little bit easier to have a space that's more or less quiet, but on the other hand it's
not formal like classrooms where we're afraid to speak," said Marta Pirnat-Greenberg, a lecturer in the Slavic Languages and Literature department.
Established by Pirnat-Greenberg in 2002, the table serves the small community of BCS speakers at the University.
Charles Novak is from the Croatian community in the Strawberry Hill neighborhood of Kansas City, Kan., and a graduate student at the University.
"Outside of class, there's very few people to talk to in a foreign language," Novak said. "You need some informal atmosphere to get over the technical aspect."
"The ones who come are the ones who really want to make their Spanish better," said Tiffany Creegan Miller, a graduate teaching assistant of Spanish.
The fluency of some of the speakers testifies to the benefits of the language tables,

New bill doesn't reference A&M
STUDENT SENATE
Student Senate has revised a resolution that called on University officials to criticize Texas A&M University for its attempted departure from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference.
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
The original bill asked the University's administration to "publicly admonish Texas A&M University for their selfish action."
"The original version was more of a 'let's entertain ourselves in Student Senate' and talk about why we're angry about conference realignment," he said. "But some of the exec staff members got upset about it."
Sean Elliott, a senior from Stillwell and author of the resolution, said the proposal was changed after members of Student Senate voiced concerns over the bill's language.
The original bill also concerned the student body president of Texas A&M University, Jeff Pickering. Members of Texas A&M's Student Senate contacted the University of Kansas' Student Senate yesterday to express their displeasure with the initial resolution.
Executive staff members of Student Senate issued a press release last night stating that the original resolution was the opinion of only one senator and not that of the
Student Senate as a whole. The amended resolution includes no references to Texas A&M University.
The Student Executive Committee will debate the redrafted bill before Student Senate and vote on the resolution.
The proposal states that the potential departure of several Big 12

Members of the Kansas Board Of Regents meet in the Curtis State office building in Topeka Wednesday. They discussed Big 12 contracts during their meeting. Gov. Sam Brownback said he's optimistic the Big 12 will stay together and maybe even add members. Brownback said it makes sense for the conference to continue because the level of competition in basketball and football is as good as anywhere in the country. He said it makes geographic sense, too.

Regents support Kansas colleges
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday reaffirmed support for Kansas and Kansas State to remain members of the Big 12 Conference.
Regent Chairman Ed McKechnie said after the nine-member board met in executive session that he was pleased with the work by the two universities' leaders to stay engaged in saving the conference. He was pleased with the progress that was being made to stabilize the conference, including offers to restructure revenues.
"We want the Big 12 to survive," McKechnie said. "Our priority is to have Kansas and Kansas State be together in the Big 12. It appears that we are making great progress toward that."
Officials at Kansas and Kansas State declined to comment after the meeting and deferred all questions after the meeting to the regents.
McKechnie said he thought the situation would be resolved in "seven to 10 days, but that's conjecture."
McKechnie said the regents haven't given the universities permission to seek alliance with other conferences should the Big 12 cease to exist, but said that he hoped those decisions could be avoided.
Regents have been watching closely as rumors about the conference dissolving have swirled, hanging on the possible departure of Oklahoma and Texas. The Pac-12 presidents and chancellors decided Tuesday night not to expand, squashing speculation that Oklahoma and Texas would be joining former Big 12 member Colorado, which joined the Pac-12 this season.
Texas officials said Wednesday that they were open to restructuring revenue contracts shared with the remaining Big 12 members. Texas President William Powers said the top priority was to bring
"I think the Big 12 is the best place for KU and K-State to be, and I hope that we are on the cusp of that happening," he said.

UNITED NATIONS
Global leaders pointed to democratic uprisings across the Arab world as a sign of hope in a world wracked by conflict, climate change and other crises as they gathered Wednesday for the annual opening of the new U.N. General Assembly.
The Arab Spring that saw peaceful protesters rise up against repressive regimes was a major focus of this year's ministerial meeting, along with the Palestinians' bid for U.N. membership.
"From Tunis to Cairo, from Tripoli to Damascus, from Benghazi to Sanaa, populations too long crushed by oppression, rose up and claimed the right to be free at last," French President Nicolas Sarkozy said.
Now, Sarkozy said, the world must find a solution to the Israel-Palestinian peace process.
NEW YORK
The developer of an Islamic cultural center that opened Wednesday evening near the site of the terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center says the biggest error on the project was not involving the families of 9/11 victims from the start.
People crowded into the center, where a small orchestra played traditional Middle Eastern instruments and a photo exhibit of New York children of different ethnicities lined the walls. The enthusiasm at the opening belied its troubled beginnings.
"We made incredible mistakes." Sharif El-Gamal told The Associated Press in an earlier interview at his Manhattan office.
The building at 51 Park Place, two blocks from the World Trade Center site, includes a mosque that has been open for two years.
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
Federal officials said Wednesday that they broke up a ring of education officials and businessmen that siphoned funds meant for special-needs children, training and supplies into bribes and kickbacks.
Seven businessmen and six current and former employees of Puerto Rico's Department of Education were arrested by the FBI on charges that include bribery and money laundering.
Authorities say the education department's former chief procurement officer, Luis Conde Rosa, masterminded the plan, raking in kickbacks on more than $7.6 million in contracts awarded to three companies from January 2008 to February 2010.
U. S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said at a news conference that Conde received 2 percent of all contracts awarded to one of the three companies.
BOGOTA, COLOMBIA
Colombian police have seized 301 properties, including houses, vehicles and estates, that belonged to alleged front men for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the head of Mexico's powerful Sinaloa drug cartel, police said Wednesday.
About 500 officers participated in the operation in the capital of Bogota and five other districts of Colombia and seized about $250 million in assets, said Gen. Carlos Mena of Colombia's investigations police.
Mena said officers targeted members of the Cifuentes Villa gang, which has worked with Guzman to transport cocaine and launder money. He said that the property seized Tuesday will be sold or otherwise used to help victims of Colombia's internal conflicts and people affected by last year's intense rains.

Renter's insurance covers students' personal property
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH jblakeborough@kansan.com
A blaze that engulfed a house in the 1300 block of Tennessee Street caused an estimated loss of $234,000 in possessions and property damage for the 10 residents.
Ten days after the fire, nine of the victims have accepted aid from the Douglas County Red Cross and one victim has been forced to drop out of school.
"Most of us lost everything we had," said James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood and a resident of the house.
He, along with the other nine tenants, didn't have renter's insurance.
"In the past 10 years of being in my position, I can count on one hand the number of students who have had renter's insurance," said Jane Blocher, executive director of the Douglas County Red Cross. "It doesn't have to be this way."
The intent of the DCRC is to address the short-term disaster related needs for victims for the first two to three days following the event.
DOUGLAS COUNTY RED CROSS (DCRC) SERVICES
"We do not take the place of insurance and we do not have the financial resources to replace everything people have lost," Blocher said.
People who qualify for and accept DCRC aid receive a debit card with an allotted amount, typically between $50 and $250, to cover everything from clothing and temporary housing to toiletries. The debit card funds come directly from donations.
'Clients', as Blocher calls them, are prohibited from using the money to purchase alcohol or tobacco products. Blocher says in past years people have abused their funds by purchasing Kansas merchandise at Lords, 729 Massachusetts St., and in
one case someone spent more than $100 on a fried-chicken dinner at Stroud's in Fairway.
WHAT IS RENTER'S INSURANCE?
"When you deal with numbers that big, you are going to have people who take advantage of the system," Blocher said. "We are a transparent organization and have a responsibility to our donors to prove that we are spending their funds correctly."
"As a steward of the donated dollar, I feel a huge responsibility to our donors that their donations are used wisely and efficiently," Blocher said.
Renter's insurance is a special type of insurance that covers just personal property, not the building itself. Travis Oliver, owner of Douglas County Insurance, says personal property will be covered up to the exact dollar amount.
Debit card purchases are now monitored on an intranet site that Red Cross officials can view. This new system came about in response to the Red Cross' problems of fraud and abuse in the fallout of the Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.
For people who don't know the exact price of their belongings, Oliver advises against worrying. He says $20,000 covers most possessions from TVs and clothes to electronics such as iPods and cellphones.
"You have to look at it like this. 'Do you have ten couches or one?' Three beds or one? A 72-inch plasma or a black and white?" Oliver said.
For Blocher, purchasing renter's insurance makes sense for more
"As long as you are living around other people, you are at their mercy and you just assume people are blowing out candles, turning off the stove and using good judgment to keep your things safe," Blocher said. "The reality is that is not the norm."

Blocher advises students against adding the worry high level of stress that comes with being at college. Oliver adds that accidents do happen.
"It is so easy, just $10 to $15 a month," Blocher said. "Think how easy it is to blow that on a few beers, movie and popcorn or Starbucks."
Blocher says just $100 a year can purchase good insurance.
"You can take every precaution you want to be safe but you can't do that with the people you are surrounded by in a group living situation," Blocher said.

Dog-sitter takes pet on 'walk,' faces charges
BOULDER, Colo. — A dog-sitter's shortcut led to criminal charges for a Colorado woman who ran a Chihuahua alongside her car at 10 to 15 mph.
The Daily Camera reports that 29-year-old Joan Renee Zalk of Boulder faces animal cruelty and felony menacing charges after witnesses confronted her Friday morning for running the pup alongside her Toyota Camry.
The newspaper reports that Zalk told officers the dog, named Cooper, "goes ballistic" if it doesn't walk 3 miles a day.
Witnesses called police after seeing the leashed dog struggling to keep up with the car. Zalk reportedly said the dog was fine.

RESOLUTION FROM 11
members endangers the University's research accreditation because of potentially lost revenue from athletics that help support University academics. The bill also expresses concerns of how conference realignment could adversely affect the lives of student-athletes and the benefits that University athletics offer to local communities.
Elliott said the University's research accreditation was a primary concern while drafting the bill because it can affect revenue streams for the University.
"Right now we're teetering on losing the research standards as it is," he said. "If we end up in a lower-ranking conference, it's going to be harder for the Association of American Universities to say that we're a good university."
Gabe Bliss, student body vice president, said Student Senate will meet to discuss strategies that will secure the University's future success.
"I just want to make sure that our academics are in line with athletics and nationally with whatever conference we're going to be going to,"
REALIGNMENT WOES
The resolution, which was voted on by University Affairs and the Rights Committee yesterday, outlines several negative aspects that conference realignment poses to the University, including:
- Greater danger of the University losing its research accreditation
- Reduced University revenue
- Prevents student-athletes "from being actual students," because of traveling commitments
· Diminished academic opportunities for the student-athlete
· Negative impact on local communities, specifically Kansas City, which could lose Big XII basketball tournaments, the Kansas - Missouri "Border Showdown," and the legitimacy of the city being the home of the College Basketball Hall of Fame.
· Unnecessary geographical distance between opponents
· Negative impact on the tradition of the University's athletic programs

A new supplement store will open on Massachusetts Street Saturday. The store will be the fourth location for Supplement Source, a business started a little more than a year ago. Supplement Source says it advertises a community approach for its business, by supporting local athletes and simple marketing.
Shane Sleeper, a partial owner, said Supplement Source has a program to advertise for local athletes and help them reach their goals. Supplement Source recently provided a University student with shorts for a mixed martial arts competition in Kansas City, Sleeper said. He said the desire to reach out to locals has lead to a company motto.
"We really pride ourselves on being community defined. We want to support those who support us." Sleeper said.
Sleeper said Supplement Source has something for all levels of athletes, from someone going to the gym for the first time to a weight-lifting competitor. He said Supplement Source helps its customers reach their individual wellness goals.
"I feel like a lot of KU students may not be educated on supplementation. For starters, a product that works for me may not work for you." Sleeper said. "Because of this, we do individual consultation."
Leecy said supplements could be expensive and said he would check out the store once it opens.
In addition to trying to reach out to the community, the staff is also connected personally to Lawrence. All of the staff for Supplement Source are University students.
Dane Leecy, a senior from Wellsville, said he heard about the store from a coworker. Leecy said he takes pre-workout supplements five times a week.
"From what she said, they don't try to Hollywood it. They just try to give you the supplements for what they really are," Leecy said.
The grand opening of Supplement Source is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of 1901 Massachusetts Street.

More young adults insured
About one million more young adults have health insurance today than last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius made the announcement Wednesday in a conference call and attributed the increase to the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act allows young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26.
The one million young adults is equivalent to three percent of all Americans between the ages of 19 and 25. In May, a Gallup poll reported that 24 percent of all 18 to 26-year-old Americans were uninsured in January through April of this year, down from 28 percent in 2010, and lower than
Sebelius said she was disappointed that some members of Congress wanted to repeal the law.

or increases the University's current revenue levels in the Big 12 and keeps the process of conference realignment as transparent as possible.
in 2009 and 2008.
Rick Kronick, the deputy assistant secretary for health policy, said the increase is specific to the 19 to 25-year-old age group. A decrease in coverage has been seen in all other age groups.
"Going without insurance puts every young American one accident away from a lifetime of debt," Sebelius said.

TELEVISION
Female roles draw attention in TV shows
As wildly different as they were in execution, the originals of "Prime Suspect" and "Charlie's Angels" were, thematically, sisters of the same revolution. Although best known for flaunting the beauty of its shapely stars, "Charlie's Angels," which ABC launched in 1976, openly refuted the then-still-popular notion that women were the weaker sex.
The faceless Charlie hired women whose police careers had been squelched by stereotypes and created the first all-female detective agency on television. Likewise "Prime Suspect," which debuted in 1991 on Britain's ITV, revolved around Jane Tennison (Helen Mirren), who, as Scotland Yard's first Detective Chief Inspector, was forced to prove to her often hostile colleagues and a skeptical public that a woman could be the right man for the job.
It's not surprising then that the reprises of both shows — "Charlie's Angels" again on ABC, "Prime Suspect" on NBC — face similar problems. Shapely women flaunt firearms and kick butt on a regular basis and no one makes the argument that the public just won't accept a female homicide detective. Good news for society, bad news for these shows, which have lost the novelty and the underlying tension of their originals.
For "Charlie's Angels," that loss proves fatal — in a post-Angela Jolie world, the only reason to assemble a team of three hot women is to assemble a team of three hot women.

Lautner charts course for post-Twilight career
And Taylor Lautner, the 19-year-old who plays the werewolf (Jacob) who adores Bella (Kristen Stewart) and resents the vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson), has sampled that crazy scene himself. In disguise.
If you've ever been to an opening night showing of a "Twilight" movie, you've heard the shrieks, the shouts. It's "ED-ward!" on one side and "JA-cob" on the other, a little taste of fan bedlam.
"I showed up at a theater, not really knowing what to expect," he says. "I thought, 'It'll be FINE.' Maybe a few people will show up. Maybe one or two people will recognize me.' It was, oh, let's say IN-
TERESTING. And that was just for the first film, where I was just in a couple of scenes."
Lautner has spent the past four years as Jacob in the "Twilight Saga," enjoying and enduring the adulations of millions thanks to these high-school vampire blockbusters. But with the series winding down — they have finished filming "Breaking Dawn," parts one and two of the last book, with the first of those hitting theaters in November_ Lautner was ready to take his first starring role "outside of the franchise."
The film he chose was an action picture, "Abduction," which opens Friday.

Is it sad that I'm already saving newspaper for basketball season?

Um the hottest team on campus would have to be the Volleyball girls. Tall Amazon women who are athletic! They're followed closely by the Quidditch girls.
So is it mainstream to not flush after releasing your bowels? I almost shat my pants trying to find a clean toilet on campus today. Not cool.

New administrative pay raises unnecessary
Last Friday there were monumental transformations in the Office of the Vice Provost. Chances are students didn't feel the ground shake as the very foundations of administration were shattered and new positions took the responsibilities previously held by the Vice Provost for Student Success.
We no longer have an Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success. Instead, we now have three new vice provests to take its place: one for student affairs, enrollment management and undergraduate education.
Two of the positions were immediately filled by the promotion of existing staff members, while the duties of the other position are being handled by two special
assistants. With these changes come hey raises, totaling $82,111. The fact that these substantial pay raises weren't part of the glowing press release sent out by Public Affairs shows that the University needs to work on transparency.
Earlier this summer, the Lawrence Journal-World reported that most faculty and staff in the University hadn't seen a raise in three years. The state and country have been in a recession for more than three years, so it's understandable that governments and universities are cutting back. In July, the University had to absorb a 1.193 percent cut in state funding for the 2012 fiscal year. In June, the Kansas Board of Regents voted to increase tuition at the University by $222 for a 15-credit-hour
semester. Since 2009, KU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has had to shrink its faculty by 20 percent.
In light of these cutbacks and fee increases, it's perplexing that the Vice Provost's office was able to gift three administrative positions with raises.
When students are asked to pay more for college and a shrinking number of faculty members are asked to teach an increasing number of students, it's disappointing to see such figures lavished on university administrators. The fact that teachers haven't seen a raise in years makes this move even more affronting.
Few students will notice that the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success is gone, but this change is a curious
reverse in trend for the administration's belt-tightening philosophy. It remains to be seen how much of a difference the new Vice Provost positions are likely to make in the lives of students.
In an atmosphere of cut backs and growing tuition, it's unwise to be spending even more on positions that have responsibilities that can be delegated to existing positions. Before one more cent is spent on administration, the Office of the Vice Provost must publicly address how these changes will help students more than lowering tuition, buying new equipment, or hiring more teachers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Don't ignore Big 10 option
Recently, an article was written proposing the University of Kansas cut ties with Kansas State and bolt for the Pac-12 with the University of Missouri.
I agree that Missouri would be a more viable partner in realignment than K-State, but what if we didn't have to make that distinction. I'm befuddled by the lack of consideration given to the idea of joining the Big Ten. It's a solution that's right in our backyard (relatively), and it's being totally ignored.
The Big 12 appears to be on the verge of destruction. With many of the big football schools (i.e. UT, OU, TAMU, etc.) close to or already moving, KU can't resign to exclusion. In my view, the Big Ten is the best answer to this.
Last year, they added our former rival Nebraska, and with present conference shifting, they likely will be as enthusiastic as other major conferences to consume more schools and become a super-conference. A path that would yield it great rewards would be to invite Missouri, K-State, Iowa State and the University.
EDITORIAL CARTOON
This is the best possible situation from our perspective. We would be allowed to keep our fiercest rivals and to make new ones that actually make regional sense and don't require the scaling
mountains to visit. Not only that, but this would allow us to join a conference that is highly respected not only for their athletics, but for their academics as well. Like the University, all Big Ten universities, excluding Nebraska, are members of the American Association of Universities (AAU).
This elevated academic classification should be considered as significant at athletic prominence. The Pac-12 is also fantastic in this regard, but the Big Ten simply makes more sense. Rock Chalk.

CULTURE
Open relationships a viable choice
Of course, many of us have accepted the fact that most people have sex for more than one reason. But from the perspective of evolutionary theory, human beings engage in sexual activity for the sole purpose of passing on their genes.
For Western society to continue as it has been, men and women join together in two-parent family units and co-operatively groom the next producers of our capitalist economy: children. That's the logic, anyway.
By James Castle
jcastle@kansan.com
That's one potential reason why a man and a woman might want to marry and be exclusive with one another for the rest of their lives, sexually and socially. Indeed, men's testosterone levels tend to drop significantly after having a baby, perhaps increasing the likelihood
of monogamy because they are less likely to seek other mates, according to a BCC news article last week. But what does this mean for people who don't procreate or tend not to raise children?
Without children, there certainly appears to be less motivation for people in same-sex relationships to adhere to this strict, sex-with-one-person-forever relationship (not that there aren't gay
and lesbian couples with children or straight couples without children). Perhaps the reinforcement of this relationship structure is the reason many of these couples stay together for life, or even for several years.
Most of us (gays and lesbians) have probably been raised in twoparent, heterosexual households, and we've been taught to value the one-person-forever relationship structure. Certainly it can't be a "bad" thing to desire one companion with whom one shares life experiences forever, for whom one grows immense trust and respect. But perhaps there is more to trust and respect than simply sexual exclusivity. After all, sex isn't all us homoSEXuals do.
Stepping away from what our culture has taught us about
relationships with more than two people — that is, that they are "bad" things — what is so wrong with three or more people, gays in particular, sharing a life together? What is so wrong with two people who share a home together engaging in sexual activity outside of their two-person social unit, provided that it's consensual?
Because the "normal," twoparent family structure caters to heterosexuals, gays and lesbians in particular might consider being open to different relationship styles when seeking stability and happiness in their sex and love lives.
Research in psychology shows that gay men are more likely than straight or lesbian couples to engage in sexual activity outside of a relationship, but they are also
more likely to set boundaries and openly communicate with each other about this activity. Does this seem like an "unhealthy" way to live?
Are we really meant to be with one person for the rest of our lives? Or are our lives a series of long- and short-term relationships through which we seek support and personal growth that shift as our lives and the people around us change? Answers to these questions may not be the same for everyone (including straight people), and perhaps gay culture should work to construct an accepted relationship structure to fit the desires of its group members, to cater to their own happiness.

'Parks and Rec' success lies with characters
In the early hours of Sept. 1, I logged into Facebook and Twitter (@xDYLX) to inform the world that September shall be Ron Swanson Month. For those unaware, Ron Swanson is all that is man and a character of one of the best comedy series on television, "Parks and Recreation."
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Though Ron Swanson is my hero, I don't want to overshadow what makes PNR so great. PNR began as a spin-off of NBC's mega hit "The Office," but was not well-received as many believed the show was trying too hard to be "The Office." As the show pumped out more episodes, it began taking on its own identity. Now starting its fourth season (premiering Sept. 22, on NBC at 8:30 p.m.), most of its success lies on the shoulders of its nine great characters.
brilliance. Though she is socially awkward and seems to mess everything up, nothing can stop her when she is at work. As seen in season three, she saves the city's government by generating revenue through a festival. But that doesn't stop her from acting like an idiot from time to time.
Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler):
She is an airhead with flashes of
Here they are in order of their appearance in the opening credits:
Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones):
Ann is the show's voice of reason.
Throughout the series she has been Leslie's best friend and recently has been hired to work for city hall.
She is always there to help Leslie
with her problems, but that doesn't keep her from suffering her own problems in relationships.
Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari): Tom is an apathetic government worker truly aspiring to be a club promoter. Many women consider him a pervert as he is constantly hitting on whichever female is around him. Really Tom is just looking for his true love, even if it he goes about it completely wrong.
Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman): As stated before, Ron is the epitome of what a man should be. He loves meat, women, whiskey and government coming to a screeching halt. His only weaknesses are his two ex-wives (both named Tammy). "Tammy 2" has all the fun with Ron so far, though that will change in season four, as "Tammy 1" finally makes an appearance. As does the original Tammy, Ron's mother.
April started out as an intern in the department but decided to stay at the end of the internship as Ron's assistant. Because of her unwillingness to help anyone, Ron considers her the best assistant he could ever have. The real reason she sticks around is because of her love interest, Andy.
Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt): Andy was a completely loser until Ann broke up with him. Then he finally got a job in city hall as a show-shine boy. Though Andy is very dumb, he has some great life lessons, even if he doesn't understand what he's saying. He eventually marries April after a very short time together.
April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza):
Ben Wyatt (Adan Scott): Ben is a state auditor that came to Pawnee to save the city from bankruptcy. Soon after his arrival, he is portrayed as a jerk that wants to ruin all the fun. Once the city is saved, he starts to show his true self, which is a nerd that Tom makes
fun of. But that doesn't stop Leslie from falling in love with him.
Chris Treager (Rob Lowe): Chris is at first another state auditor but then becomes Pawnee's city manager when the original city manager has a heart attack. Chris is extremely upbeat, so upbeat that Ann didn't even realize that he dumped her in season three. He is also a workout freak and believes he will live to the age of 150.
With these great characters, I expect season four to reach new heights. Leslie will have to decide between her career and her lover, Ann will start a new job, Tom will embrace his dream, Ron will deal with another ex-wife, April and Andy will try to become adults, Ben will still be a nerd, and Chris will still be enthusiastic. It shall be a great season.
Happy Ron Swanson Month.

THE women's basketball team hands out T-shirts and keychains to students at Mrs. E's Wednesday night in hopes of gaining support for its upcoming season. The team's first basketball game of the season will be Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. against Emporia State at Allen Fieldhouse.
KATHLEEN GIER

"Our games," sophomore guard Keena Maws said.
With T-shirts, license plates, key chains and posters in hand, one student asked if there was anything else for free at the women-in-sports celebration at Mrs. E's Dining Hall on Daisy Hill Wednesday night.
KU Dining Services and KU Athletics co-hosted the event which served as a meet and greet for five women's sports teams: basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer, and swimming and diving. This is the latest move from KU Athletics to garner attention for Olympic and women's sports at Kansas.
The women's basketball team attended the event between a running work out and tutoring. Ashley Thornton, director of promotions for KU Athletics, said it is good to get the athletes out to relate to students.
"It is important for them to get out there and tell students how much they do for their sports and how much they would appreciate support." Thornton said.
Freshman forward Bunny Williams of Dunkinville, Texas was hopeful that this event would bring more fans to the games.
"If we show interest in them, then they will show interest in us and come to our games," Williams said.
Mays is advertising this season as a "free party in Allen every week."
"If we get them in the gym once, they will come back," Mays said. "We just have to get them out."
Williams said that fans have a lot to look forward to this season when they come to the games.
REALIGNMENT FROM 10
"It is gonna be fun to watch us,"
Williams said. "We are fast-paced and we go hard every day in practice."
With five new freshmen, the team has a new outlook.
"Our attitudes have changed and we are excited to see how our hard work will pay off when the season comes," Mays said.
The women's basketball season starts on Oct. 31 when the Jayhawks will host Emporia State in an exhibition game. Kansas women's basketball games are free with a student ID card.

tionship with the Pac-12.
"We have kept them informed of the progress we've been making to gain agreement from the Big 12 for changes which will make the conference more stable in the future," Boren said in a statement. "Conference stability has been our first goal and we look forward to achieving that goal through continued membership in the Big 12 Conference."
One of those changes reportedly includes ousting current Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe, who has received a great deal of scrutiny throughout the whole conference realignment ordeal. The Big 12 Board of Directors would have to reach a majority agreement in order to fire Beebe.
Even though the chances of the Big 12's survival have increased in a matter of hours, there are still some hurdles remaining for the conference going forward, including the reformation of the financial policies of the conference and 'Texas' Longhorn Network.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, Texas Athletics Director DeLoss Dodds is completely committed to the Big 12 and revenue sharing of the first and second tier television rights. Dodds did say that the tier-three rights are
non-negotiable.
"I don't think our network is in play," Dodds said to the paper. "Our network is our network. Anybody can do one. If somebody thinks something is wrong with our network and thinks it's hurting the conference, we would absolutely address it."
With Oklahoma and Texas seemingly committed to staying onboard the Big 12, the conference finds itself in the position to do its own expansion.
ESPN reports that the Big 12 will look to add Brigham Young University as a replacement for the SEC-bound Aggies. In addition, the conference may look to add two more teams, such as West Virginia and Louisville in order to get the membership back up to 12 teams.
Given the how quickly these events have progressed, the members of the Kansas Board of Regents moved its scheduled meeting to discuss Kansas realignment options from Thursday to Wednesday.
"Our priority is to have Kansas and Kansas State be together in the big 12," Regent chairman Ed McKechnie said. "It appears that we are making great progress toward that."

Son of former Jayhawk safety grows into his father's shoes
Edited by Mike Lavieri
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
More than 20 years ago, former Jayhawk and Kansas City Chiefs' safety Doug Terry called the Kansas secondary his home. Now his son, redshirt freshman safety Keeston Terry, can say the same.
With his father playing safety for the Jayhawks from 1988-1991, Kansas football is an extra-personal brand for Terry.

"It's crazy, because you grow up

"I really thought I was coming here to play receiver," Terry said. "It was ironic that they moved me to safety, and then our numbers are really similar. I mean he was 10 when he was here, I was nine."
Terry had successfully made the switch to safety, playing in each of the Jayhawks first three games last season. Then, with the snap

The Jayhawks pass defense has given up an average of 268 yards
a game, against McNeese State,
Northern Illinois and a Georgia
Tech team that only threw
the ball seven times.
Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy attributed some of the Jayhawks' defensive woes to the youth and lack of experience of the defense, particularly of the secondary. Terry is no exception to that, as he is still adjusting to playing in a somewhat foreign position.
"Keeston is doing some good things, it's just when you look at the amount of formations he's having to see and deal with right now," Shealy said. "It's a lot for a young safety."
The jayhawks are using their bye-week to try and correct their defensive struggles. The time off the field provides an opportunity for the players to go through old film and see what they've been doing wrong.
Coach Turner Gill knows the Jayhawks' youth has hindered their defensive performance, including Terry's.
"He's doing all right. He's a freshman," Gill said. "He's just playing OK. He's a very, very conscientious young man and he's working on getting better, just like
the rest of our football team."
Terry continues to work on his performance. Playing in the same secondary and protecting the same end zones as his father
makes the wins much sweeter and the losses sting just a bit more.
"Losses like Georgia Tech make you frustrated and sick, because you grow up wanting your
program to be at the top," Terry said. "That's why I came here, to help out my team be at the top."

Brandon Rush AT KANSAS YEARS: 2005-2008
A 6-foot-6 guard with a smooth stroke from behind the arc, Rush averaged more than 13 points per game in all three of his seasons at Kansas. His three point percentage never dropped below 40 percent, proving him to be one of the teams best threats from long range every season. Growing up in Kansas City, Mo., Rush was all too familiar with the history of Kansas basketball, even making some of his own while on campus.

BEFORE KANSAS
Rush attended high school at Mount Zion Academy in Durham, N. C. He was a two-time all-state selection and a five-star recruit according to Rivals.com. A possible candidate for the NBA draft right after high school, Rush decided to play for Bill Self at Kansas.
ON TO THE NBA
Rush was taken as the 13th pick by the Indiana Pacers in the 2008 NBA draft. He has played three seasons in Indianapolis, including an appearance in all 82 regular season games in the 2009-2010 season. He is averaging 8.9 points per game for his career.
Rush was already on a fast track to the NBA during his junior season of 2007-2008. The final four match-up with North Carolina took his stardom to a whole different level. With five minutes left in the first half, Rush had as many points — 12 — as the entire North Carolina team. He finished his scorching-hot night with 25 points, more than doubling any Kansas teammate. He was later named to the all-tournament team; no doubt cementing his legacy among Kansas fans.

BEFORE KANSAS
A high school All-American in Anchorage, Alaska, Chalmers was regarded as the nation's No. 2 point guard by Rivals.com. He was named the Alaska 4A Player of the Year three times, only the second player to accomplish the feat. Chalmers eventually joined Brandon Rush and Julian Wright at Kansas, forming the No. 4 recruiting class in the country in 2005 behind Oklahoma State, Duke and Washington.
ON TO THE NBA
Chalmers was taken as the fourth pick, 34th overall, in the second round of the 2008 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves and traded to the Miami Heat shortly after. He has played significant minutes every season in Miami and was the primary point guard last year on the heralded Heat team, which included Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James.
DEFINING MOMENT
If there was ever a Kansas player who didn't need his defining moment explained, it is Mario Chalmers. It's captured on the walls of restaurants and bars throughout Lawrence. It's relived every year during the NCAA tournament in videos and commercials. It was a play coach Bill Self drew up in the Big 12 tournament championship game against Texas a few weeks prior, so Chalmers and company knew what to do. Down by three with 10 seconds left in the National Title game, Sherron Collins raced the ball up court under pressure. Standing on the wing, Chalmers waited. After nearly missing the handoff from Collins, he secured the ball and darted left. With pressure in his face, he took one dribble, slightly faded away and a release a shot inches over the outstretched hands of Derrick Rose. Everything else was a blur.

Making predictions for upcoming UFC fights
— kshsaa.org
MORNING BREW
The Ultimate Fighting Club returns with a solid-looking pay-per-view this Saturday. The UFC light heavyweight title fight will be headlined by Jon "Bones" Jones and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. This fight is clearly drawing a lot of the attention. Dana White, president of UFC, and Joe Silva, UFC matchmaker, have put together a solid card. Here's my breakdown of predictions for each main card fights.
By Kenton Watkins
kwatkins@kansan.com
BEN ROTHWELL (31-7) V.
MARK HUNT (6-7)
Just by looking at the records, this fight doesn't seem like it's going to be too competitive. However, Rothwell hasn't had a fight since beating Gilbert Yvel in June 2010. This will be his return to the cage after tearing his ACL. Hunt's record is 1-6 in the UFC, but he is coming off a victory.
prediction: Rothwell will win by decision, insite of ring rust, but he is clearly in a different class than Hunt. This matchup seems to be made for Rothwell to ease back into the cage and win.
NATE DIAZ (13-7) V.
TAKANORI GOMI (32-7)
This could be a make-or-break fight for both of these Mixed Martial Arts veterans. The winner could secure his job while the loser may be let go. Coming into the UFC, Gomi, the former pride lightweight
champion, was seen as a potential title contender. However, he was disappointed, going 1-2 in three fights. This win could prove he belongs in the UFC. Nate Diaz has spent his UFC career hovering just behind the elites in his division. Finally, at age 26, he is entering his prime. I hope he will reach his potential and take the next step.
Prediction: Diaz by submission. I'll take the "upset" on this fight, even though Nate isn't as good or consistent as his brother Nick. This pick is based more on how underwhelming Gomi has been in the UFC; however, he is desperate and dangerous.
This is a fight between two up-and-coming heavyweights that pits a knockout artist against a submission specialist. Browne is 1-0-1 in the UFC with a knockout against Stefan Struve, while Broughton is 1-0 with a submission victory. A victory
TRAVIS BROWNE (11-0-1) V.
ROB BROUGHTON (15-5-1)
would put one of these guys on the fast track to contention, while the loser will have to go back to the drawing board.
Prediction: Browne by a knockout. For Broughton this is a step up in competition, while both of Browne's UFC fights were against tougher opponents. As long as Browne avoids the submission he should catch Broughton for a knockout.
MATT HUGHES (45-8) V.
JOSH KOSCHECK (15-5)
Hughes, UFC hall of famer and all-time great, returns to the cage for maybe the last time. Even though Koscheck is looking to get back on track for another shot at Georges St. Pierre. Koscheck is a replacement for Diego Sanchez who broke his hand.
Prediction: Koscheck by decision. I want to pick Hughes, but I just don't think that he is good enough to beat a contender like Koscheck. Hughes's biggest strength is his wrestling, but that is also Koscheck's biggest strength. At this point, I think Koscheck can hold off a spirited Hughes.
UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
Champion Jon "Bones" Jones (13-1) v.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (32-8)
KU
These two guys can't stand each other. This fight is as personal as it is about the
championship Jones is the future
of the division, but Rampage is one of the all-time greats and is capable of beating anyone depending on his commitment. This fight pits two great strikers and wrestlers against each other. It should be an exciting fight.
Prediction: Jones by decision. This is the fight I am least confident about. I love me some Rampage and think that this fight is fifty-fifty. But it has been a while since Rampage has fully committed himself, so Jones should outlast him.

COMMENTARY
Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Well, that sure changes things, doesn't it?
Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott seemed destined to take Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Texas Tech, making the Pac-12 the first conference with 16 members and all but killing the Big 12. But then something happened. Everything just stopped. And for now, that's the best outcome for Kansas.
Texas and OU keep us afloat
The Pac-12 released a statement Tuesday night saying they weren't expanding, much to everyone's surprise. The potential move would have put Kansas in limbo. Whatever the reasons were — not wanting to be the one to blame for changing college athletics, not wanting to get in bed with Texas or not wanting the "other schools" Texas Tech and Oklahoma State — are most points
As long as both Texas and Oklahoma are members of the Big 12, there's no better place for Kansas to be. With those two schools in tow, the conference keeps its legitimacy, not to mention the Texas high school recruiting Kansas football relies on. Telling recruits you will play in their home state three times every season is a big deal. Losing two more Texas schools would hurt recruiting immensely.
Sure, the Pac-12 is a much more stable conference and not a bad option, should the Big 12 ever dissolve, but travel would be a Kansas nightmare for non-revenue generating sports. The Pac-12 staying put and the SEC taking just one Big 12 member doesn't take us to the brink of major change just yet.
There's a big difference between the future marriage between the SEC and Texas A&M and the Pac-12's courtship of one-third of the original Big 12. Texas A&M leaving doesn't kill the conference. It cripples it for a while, but the conference is still intact. The television deal worth millions is still legitimate, and SEC commissioner Mike Slive can tell the country with a straight face that he wasn't responsible for starting a seismic shift in college athletics that would have changed the landscape permanently.
That might not look great on a resume.
With the SEC about to have 13 members, it will have to expand. At least one more time, but most likely three more times. Having 14 schools doesn't seem plausible for scheduling reasons.
The schools out west can bide their time, waiting for the SEC to get this ball rolling and say they were just reactionary. The Oklahoma/Oklahoma State/Texas/Texas Tech combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.
My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags.

Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson will miss the remainder of the season after injuring his groin in the opening football game against McNeese State, according to coach Turner Gill.
Patterson will take a medical redshirt and return to the field for the lavihawks next season.
Gill said that Patterson's injury was lingering, and although it is possible for him to return later in the season, they believe this is the best decision for Patterson and the football team.

Ellis said that the way assistant coach Danny Manning developed previous big men such as Cole Aldrich and Marcus and Markieff Morris played a role in his decision. He also said that he plans on attending Saturday's Legends of the Phog alumni game.
"It's one of the top tradition programs," he said. "And I'm proud to be a part of it."
Kentucky coach John Calipari has lured several top recruits in the past, but Ellis decided to stay close to home.

Sophomores Kara and Amy Wehrs, a setter and an outside hitter, are twins on the volleyball team, and many struggle to tell them apart. However, their unique roles on the team and personalities make it hard for anyone to confuse them.

MATT GALLOWAY

Unfortunately, that advantage doesn't help volleyball coach Ray Bechard when it comes to his team's set of twins.
One of the easiest ways to differentiate between the most recognizable identical twins in Jayhawk history was Markieff Morris' trademark sideburns. His facial hair varied from that of his brother Marcus, who usually preferred a more trimmed appearance.
Sophomore Amy Wehrs said there is one way to tell her apart from her twin sister Kara.
"The challenge for me at first was just telling them apart." Bechard said.
"I smile all the time," Amy said. "Kara is more of a 'Let's get down to business. Let's get stuff done person. I'm just always happy."
Kara, a setter, is a starter who sees more playing time than her sister, who is one of
"She's extremely capable" Bechard said. "She's a high-level pass and serve. Right now in the system we've got going on, her role hasn't been extensive as far as playing time goes, but I know if she is called upon she will be ready to go."
Bechard said Amy's lack of playing time is not a result of her abilities, instead citing team depth and his coaching staff's system as reasons for the hitter's limited minutes on the court.
eight outside hitters on the team. However, Amy saw significant playing time in the Jayhawks (11-1) sweep against DePaul on Saturday, where she recorded a career-high two aces in only her second appearance of the season.
In last Saturday's first game against Valparaiso, Kara helped the team overcome its third five-set contest of the season with a double-double of 52 assists and 13 dips. She said she can only have a stankout performance if her hitters are playing well.
"Their kills count as my assists," Kara said.
Last weekend's DePaul Invitational in Chicago was a homecoming of sorts for the twins, who are natives of Hampshire, III. Chicago is about an hour-long drive from Hampshire, where the twins played volleyball together their entire lives. Playing side-by-side at the collegiate level was not initially important to the twins. But as they approached their decision, the reality of separation began to weigh on both of them.
"We didn't care if we went to different schools." Kara said. "But as the process got further along, we decided we did want to play together. We've played together our whole lives, so it was kind of important that we went to the same school."
Kara said she knows her sister can play great volleyball when called upon. "Anyone who comes off the bench like Amy did is going to have great success
with the team," she said. Finally seeing the court was a good confidence booster for Amy.
"I just think it was good for me to know I could still have confidence in myself". Amy said, "I just wanted to know that I could help the team."
Sophomore libero Brianne Riley said the pair are similar off the court, but on the court it's a different story. "Amy is always positive and always in a good mood, and Kara is a little more intense." Riley said. "That is definitely how you can separate them on the volleyball court."
Despite the differences in position, playing time and personality, the twins are always there for each other when the goes gets tough.

"Whenever we're having a bad day,we're there for each other"Amy said. "When ever we're having a good day, we're there to congratulate each other."

Pac-12's decision could save the Big 12
It seemed that the Big 12's demise was a forgone conclusion, but now that is not necessarily the case.
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
Tuesday night, the presidents and chancellors of the Pac-12 Conference decided not to expand beyond its current 12-team membership.
The news came amid reports from The Kansas City Star and The Birmingham News that Missouri had made an informal agreement to join the Southeastern Conference if the Big 12 were to collapse. The SEC denied offering both a formal and informal membership to Missouri, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
"After careful review, we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference," Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement to the Associated Press.
The Pac-12's vote to cease expansion is encouraging news for the Big 12, which appeared to be at risk of losing Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. But now that the Pac-12 is not an immediate option for those schools, the Big 12 appears to have some new life for the time being.
After the members of the Oklahoma Board of Regents authorized University of Oklahoma President David Boren complete control of the Sooners' conference affiliation, Boren specifically mentioned the Pac-12 as a possible destination for the school. However, Oklahoma's sights now seem to be solely on improving the Big 12.
Boren said in a statement issued Tuesday night that even though Oklahoma didn't apply for membership to the Pac-12 this year, Oklahoma's leaders have developed a rela-

EDITOR'S NOTE
Growing up, I was always the sad, pathetic kid picked last for dodgeball or flag football.
Come gym class, most of my classmates knew of my hatred for contact sports, and the fact that I was pretty scrawny and had zero hand-eye coordination didn't help my chances either. I remember one horrific moment during a volleyball game in sixth grade; the winning point rested on my ability to serve the ball and, of course, I blew it. I still shudder just thinking about it.
Luckily, my parents recognized early on that I would never be a soccer star or queen of the basketball court. While my friends' parents forced them to join softball leagues and volleyball clubs, mine quietly sat back and let me pursue individual sports, like ballet and tennis.
It's not that I didn't "play well with others"
It was my anxiety about disappointing everyone with a repeat of the sixth grade volleyball incident that kept me from joining a team sport. With ballet, my performance depended on my own actions; if I disappointed anyone, there would be only myself to blame.
However, I've always admired the camaraderie aspect of team sports, and the KU rugby team serves as a great example. With nearly every player sustaining some sort of injury each game, it's important that the team sticks together. For more about the painful traditions associated with rugby, read Jeff's story on page eight.
In the end, I have no regrets about never playing a team sport. I probably missed out on fun team-bonding sleepovers and a pleathora of t-shirts, but I'm glad I forged my own path with solo sports. I was able to keep my psyche (and scrawny body) from being crushed.

"Coming to KU it was really great to see not just Mexicans, but people from other Hispanic countries fully embracing their heritage," Velasco said. "It was really easy for me to accept my own culture when I saw so many people celebrating it and people I could identify with."

KANSAS IN HEAT // EARLY EMISSIONS > Tackling the sticky world of relationships.
My fiance and I are having sex issues and I brought it up to him today. He ejaculates immediately and sex for me is horrid. I try all different positions, but he can literally just touch me and that's it. We do only see each other every two weeks, but the last few times he came to visit I have not even wanted to sleep together. I'm not one for sex-only relationship, but I'm definitely missing out on one. Also, he never masturbates.
MICHELLE ANSWERS:
Here are my suggestions:
KJHK CALLERS ASKS:
Given the fact you do live apart from each other, coupled with what sounds to me like your adventurous and passionate spirit for satisfying sex, may be contributing to insecurity with his fast climax. Unfortunately, this insecurity and inability to satisfy you will only maximize the issues and frustrations
A satisfying sexual relationship with your partner is vital to a healthy and happy relationship. I understand your desire to encourage one with your partner, so let's make this a positive conversation for the both of you.
1. Since you live apart, try incorporating phone or Skype sex on a regular basis. He will have to masturbate! This way, he can get used to his body, the sensations, and ways to control ejaculation. Also, have him practice Kegel exercises. Strengthening the pelvic muscle can help to control ejaculation as well.
2. Try extended foreplay (sensual massage, bathing, oral sex, mutual masturbation, strip tease). Take your mind off of intercourse and allow for exploration of sexual stimulation through other means!

3. Encourage quick refractory periods! If he
Michelle MacBain is a graduate student from Kansas City. She studied sexuality psychology and communication studies at KU and The University of Amsterdam.
Sex in a marriage can and should be satisfying, but mutual effort is needed. Go in with a positive attitude and I hope he will catch the fever! If he doesn't jump on board with improving your sex life and doesn't allow you to help him get over his insecurities now, I'm afraid he never will.
does ejaculate faster than you would like, don't give up and lie in frustration or tension. Rather, encourage a short rest period and try again! During this time, go back to the sexual stimulation techniques listed above. Get his mind off of the quick start and onto ways of stimulating and satisfying you!

"LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL"
Oklahoma State/Texas/Texas Tech combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.

The Big 12 seemingly escaped yet another apparent collapse, but this time the conference will continue under new leadership.
According to a statement from the conference, the Big 12 Board of Directors and Commissioner Dan Beebe have reached a "mutual agreement" for him to step down from the position immediately.
"I put all my effort into doing what was best for the Big 12. With fondness, I wish the Big 12 Conference a long and prosperous future." Beebe said in a statement.
Beebe's interim replacement will be former Big Eight Conference Commissioner Chuck Neinas; he will start working immediately. Neinas served as Big Eight commissioner from 1971 to 1980. Neinas currently runs his own consulting firm, Neinas Sports Services, out of

HOW WE MET // LAYNE ALEXANDER & ALEX BABS
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Lol. G2G. Wuz^? AOL Instant Messaging is a craze of the past, but it was the spark that kicked off the relationship between Layne Alexander, a sophomore from Wichita, and Alex Babst, an alumnus from Wichita, seven years ago.
As a sophomore at East High in Wichita in 2004, Alexander only knew of Babst as the popular and hot senior. What she didn't know was that Babst had noticed her too, and asked his sister for her screen name.
I am so happy to be here with you.
When Babst first messaged Alexander, he decided to play it cool and pretend he didn't know who she was. "I acted like I didn't know how her screen name had appeared on my 'Buddies List,' like I couldn't remember who had given me the screen name," Babst says.

The relationship only grew from there. "We used to chat online for hours at the beginning and it would be so fun and exciting." Alexander says.
This past July, Alexander and Babst changed their title from girlfriend and boyfriend to fiancés.
Babst took a day off work to drive to Dallas and retrieve the engagement ring. He

“American Idol.”
I’m about to have my first kid, so I should probably start thinking down the road. At 54, I see myself having a nice big family where all of the kids have already gone off to college. I want my career to still be going, still touring with big hits and with people loving the music.
The perfect day would be spent somewhere very secluded, maybe in the mountains or on an island with a big island with my best friends. We would do some fun things, like go dirt biking.
I’m not big on surprises, but I feel like I have a surprise party every year. This year, I was on tour, but my present was probably my most exciting because I got to drive a Ferrari. I love cars.
Probably Norway. It’s exotic, not in jungle sense, but just different than what I’m used to. It was weird because it looked so American, but everybody spoke this crazy language. It was just beautiful.
I wanted to be an astronaut, fireman and paleontologist in elementary school. I also wanted to be was a truck driver. I would see those big 18-wheeler trucks with a bed in the back and I thought it was the coolest thing.
Where do you see yourself in 30 years?
Teaching history at a high school in Illinois or Kansas City. I want to be that weird, old, crazy-good teacher. I also will hopefully be coaching some sport, either football or basketball.
Describe your perfect day.
I’d wake up at 11 a.m. and maybe hit the gym. Then I’d eat a good meal of Italian beef from Portillo’s in Chicago. I’d go out with my friends, get some food, find a party and have a good time.
What was your favorite birthday celebration?
In sixth grade, one of my best friends and I had a combined “Fear Factor”-themed birthday party. We dug for worms, but there was gummy worms mixed with real worms. Some people ate the gummy worms and some people ate the real worms.
What’s the most exotic place you’ve ever been?
Probably Hawaii. I went there two summers ago and we saw different cultural traditions that make up the islands. It was really interesting.
What did you want to be when you were younger?
A cowboy. I wanted a gun and a badge.

If there's a spill across the keyboard, you should shut down the power immediately so that the liquid can't short-out the top-case (where the keyboard is) and power button. If possible, you should remove the battery, says Tony Krug, technology specialist for The Tech Shop inside the Kansas Union."Water, or any type of liquid, can start to corrode the logic board and cause shorts," Krug says. "You'll also want to rest your computer upside down on a towel so as much liquid as possible can drain away from the insides."
ESENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // SAVING A WET COMPUTER > In case of an emergency, read quickly
Ali Lanners, a senior from Eagan, Minn., had an oil diffuser spill on her computer, "It was a mess, I tried to wipe it off as best as I could, but it had already damaged the outside of my computer," she says. "It still worked for the most part, but I ended up getting a new one."
> In case of an emergency, read quickly.
It's been drilled into our brains since kindergarten: don't keep liquids near your computer. When an accident happens, what can you do to save your computer? Taking action quickly is your best bet when it comes to spills.
A clean-up don't; putting your computer into uncooked rice to try and absorb the liquid, an old wives tale that doesn't always work.
"The rice will absorb the water, but often makes more of a mess and takes more time to get out of ports and vents than the repair itself would have," Krug says.
The best thing to do is to disconnect the power and take it to a licensed repair shop. With spill repairs ranging between $300-800, it's a good idea to think twice about where you set your drink.

THAT'S DISGUSTING // PEEING IN THE SHOWER

HEALTH
> Dude...gross.
How far can we take "going green?" What if we skipped the toilet and just peed while showering in order to save gallons of water and sheets of toilet paper? As natural as going to the bathroom is, for some, the shower is just as kosher as using the toilet.
Standing in your own urine while you are trying to clean the rest of your body could be counterproductive. Patty Quinlan, a nursing supervisor for KU, says that even though urine is sterile, it can still pose a problem. "The salts and waste products found in urine can encourage bacterial growth once it is outside the protection of the body," Quinlan says.
Sam Whitaker, a senior from Lenexa, says he doesn't worry about the potentially pesky bacteria. "The best way to go about it is to stand upstream." Whitaker says. "That way you don't even have to think about it once it's over."
Photo by Bre Roach Shower power?：It might seem fine, but peeing in the shower could grow bacteria.
If you can look past the yellow hue and bacteria, you might start thinking that you're killing two birds with one stone. "It's basically the same reason that Wal-Mart exists; you can go one place and take care of a lot of things," Whitaker says.

goes, we are in what Baym refers to as a "floating world," meaning we are physically present but not emotionally and mentally.
There's nothing healthy about putting real-life conversation on the back burner for an on-the-go text. Keep your head up and leave your texts for that really boring part of lecture.
We have all seen them and at one point, inevitably, have been one of them. You may cough loudly to indicate to the walking texter that he or she is about to pummel you, or maybe you've looked up from your phone just moments before walking into a bicycle rack hooked on the back of a car. Regardless, we are all guilty, but could walking while texting be more harmful than annoying others?
Nancy Baym, University of Kansas communications professor and author of "Personal Connections in the Digital Age," knows that constantly communicating via text and phone could ultimately "threaten the sanctity of our personal relationships." As far as walking while texting
Jake McNiel, a senior from Overland Park, has found a rhythm to text messaging and walking. "I know where my classes are, so I don't even need to look up," McNiel says. But nearly running into people because we are involved with our phones certainly does shut out an actual face-to-face conversation with someone. "I think people are so involved with their phones because they want to stay in contact with the people they are closest to," McNiel says.
Verdict: Bad for you and annoying for everyone else.

HALO kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 16 by showcasing Hispanic dance and music, two things Camacho said are very important to the Hispanic culture.
"Coming to KU it was really great to see not just Mexicans, but people from other Hispanic countries fully embracing their heritage." Velasco said. "It was really easy for me to accept my own culture when I saw so many people celebrating it and people I could identify with."
When you say Hispanic or Latino, there's so many different cultures within that from each country," Stern said. "Each one has its own really rich tradition and it's really important to recognize and distinguish between those different cultures and not just lump them all together as Hispanic."

To get to Westwick Rugby Complex, the Kansas Jayhawk Rugby Football Club's (KJRFC) facility, you have to go outside town. You have to drive south on Iowa, and pass beneath U.S. Highway 10. Iowa turns into highway 59, and then it's a half mile until you reach an obscure road called North 1200. The road twists and turns through acre upon acre of farmland, and you pass alongside a seemingly endless procession of undulating hills covered in lush vegetation. After a little less than two miles on North 1200 Road, there's an opening in the trees that runs along the northern side of the road. Two massive rugby pitches sit side by side, separated only by a berm that runs the length of each pitch. At the entrance to the complex is a sign welcoming whoever might pass by and an old dilapidated barn that the team meets in before games.
On Saturday, Sept. 10, just before noon, cars began to file through the entrance of the complex. Soon after, the makeshift parking lot on the West side of the pitch was full, and a crowd consisting of a pit bull, a Weimaraner and almost 50 people had gathered on a small hill that runs between the parking lot and the pitch. Spectators sat in lawn chairs or laid in the grass drinking anything from water to an assortment of beer and liquor. The sun was out, and there were no clouds. The wind howled, and the branches of the trees that surround the 55 acre plot twisted and turned endlessly. The referee blew his whistle from the middle of the pitch, and the game started without anyone yelling "rip his fucking head off."
Within the first five minutes the team had
already lost one of its best players. Thirty-four-year-old Matt Schwartz, after a pile up on the north end of the pitch, walked to the sideline holding his right index finger in his left hand. He winced in pain as the team trainer tried to pop it back into place. They thought it was dislocated, but it was broken. After iceing it for a few minutes and watching the rest of the first half, Schwartz went to the emergency room. On his way to his car he held up his broken finger and smiled. "Number one," he said.
Soon after Schwartz left the field, alumnus Jack Vogt received a yellow card and spent 10 minutes in the "sin bin" (the rugby equivalent of the penalty box) for throwing a punch at a Northland player who bit him. At halftime, Vogt wasn't satisfied. "We've got to start playing a lot smarter, myself included. The only reason they're still in this game is because of penalties," he said to his teammates. They led 29-12 going into the second half.
At first glance, rugby, which originated in England in the 19th century, seems like a hybrid between American football and soccer. The ball is carried and the play is continuous. Forward passes aren't allowed, so communication is a key factor. The incessant communication among teammates makes for a lot of yelling from the pitch, which, to virgin ears, seems superfluous but is an important part of the game. It's a highly entertaining sport to watch, and although it has failed to gain much popularity in the United States, it is the national sport of South Africa and also New Zealand, where the Rugby World Cup is currently being held.
In 1995, some of the Lawrence club's oldest and most heavily involved members, including current head coach Rick Senfro, pooled money and purchased the 55-acre plot outside town, and the KJRFC became one of the few rugby organizations in the United States with its own facility. Schwartz remembers joining the team his senior year of high school in 1995 when the fields were being finished. He remembers watching workers scrape the topsoil together to build the barn between the two fields.
The completion of the complex was paramount for the team, but the club itself was around long before it had its own facility. According to its website, a University of Kansas law student, George Bunting, posted an ad in the University Daily Kansan in 1964 for people who might be interested in playing rugby. By 1965, the roster was full and the club went on a tour of Ivy League schools. Today
the club consists of two sides, the club side and the collegiate side. Although the club and collegiate sides function as two separate entities, they are closely affiliated. They practice together and travel to tournaments together. Students who play for the collegiate side are eligible to play for the club side. The University's rugby club functions as any other intramural club. The University matches the amount of money they raise through fundraisers and dues. Each player on the club and collegiate side is required to pay $110 upon signing up, and they also have to pay for gas to get to away games.
The close affiliation of the collegiate and club sides has been important for both teams. "One of the reasons why our college team is one of the best in the whole region, is because we have these older guys on the club side who, literally, when we practice with them, beat the living slit out of us, all legally and within the rules of rugby though," says Brandon Holland, a senior from Lawrence, who started playing rugby in high school. The teacher-student dynamic between the club side and the collegiate side exists largely because rugby is, as Doug McCullough says, an experiential sport. McCullough has been a member of the club since 1975 and has helped run practices and coach since he stopped playing in 1995. He says the relationship between the two sides has always been competitive. "We used to call the college guys baby bucks and we were the old bucks," he says. "The college kids didn't like being pushed around by old guys and the old guys didn't like getting pushed around by college kids."
In response to Holland's remark about the consistent ass-whoooping delivered to the collegiate side by the club side, McCullough doesn't have much to offer. "We have the experience. Rugby is an experiential sport. It's nothing to do with strength or anything, we just have the experience."
It's no secret that the rugby experience can be grueling. As Schwartz says, "It's not a matter of if you'll get hurt but when you'll get hurt." Dane Kieser, a South African player who moved to Lawrence in 2010 to play for the club team has broken every finger in both his hands. Dan Smolic, a senior from Chicago and the current team captain, suffered a shoulder injury during the first game of the season against Central Missouri. He was in a sling with a clipboard in hand for the first home game against Lindenwood. Wisconsin native

My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags.
Oklahoma State/Texas/Texas Tech combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
Edited by Jonathan Shorman
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.

Sophomore Amy Wehrs said there is one way to tell her apart from her twin sister Kara.

"I smile all the time," Amy said. "Kara is more of a 'Let's get down to business. Let's get stuff done' person. I'm just always happy."
Kara, a setter, is a starter who sees more phying time than her sister, who is one of
on the court.
"She's extremely capable," Bechard said. "She's a high-level pass and serve. Right now in the system we've got going on, her role hasn't been extensive as far as playing time goes, but I know if she is called upon she will be ready to go."

In last Saturday's first game against, Valparaiso, Kara helped the team overcome its third live-set contest of the season with a double-double of 52 assists and 13 dices. She said she can only have a standout performance if her hitters are play-
But as they approached their decision, the reality of separation began to weigh on both of them.
"We didn't care if we went to different schools," Kara said. "But as the process got further along, we decided we did want to play together. We've played together our whole lives, so it was kind of important that we went to the same school."
Kara said she knows her sister, can play great volleyball when called upon.

The Big 12 seemingly escaped yet another apparent collapse, but this time the conference will continue under new leadership.
According to a statement from the conference, the Big 12 Board of Directors and Commissioner Dan Beebe have reached a "mutual agreement" for him to step down from the position immediately.
I put all my effort into doing what was best for the Big 12. With great fondness, I wish the Big 12 Conference a long and prosperous future." Beeber said in a statement.

A look inside the KU rugby team JEFF KARR
TRADITION
Johann Swanepoel kicks off to Lindenwood University during the collegiate game.
Sean Eagan played for the club for one year before dislocating his shoulder, an injury that he still needs surgery for. Eagan still attends games regularly, but he doesn't play anymore. When asked why he decided to stop after only a year he just laughed. "I don't recommend playing without health insurance," he says.
Pain is a big part of rugby, as is the case with any full-contact sport, but in the KU rugby club, with the pain comes an experience that many players fall in love with. Since 1965, the team has been fundraising in order to tour places like England, New Zealand, Argentina and most recently, Brazil. "Part of the draw is just the camaraderie of it," Schwartz says. "You make a lot of friends on the team and from all around the world. I mean, just this last summer a bunch of 20-year-old kids got the opportunity to go play in Brazil, you know?" But Schwartz doesn't think the camaraderie and the lasting friendships are the only reasons to play rugby. "It's a nice way to be able to take your frustration out at the end of the day," he says.
Midway through the second half of the Sept. 10 club game against Northland, the enthusiasm from the crowd died down. Side conversations filled the air. Players from the collegiate side, when they weren't running water out to their teammates on the club side, talked among themselves about the Rugby World Cup and unrelated topics. Even Ed Mills from Ireland, who is arguably the best player in the club, seemed bored as he broke 20 yards ahead of the closest Northland player and walked leisurely into the try zone. Fans talked among themselves, and some of the players' children played together. Josh Hobart, who played for the club for seven years before stopping three years ago, drank a beer and grilled burgers and hot dogs for his teammates and the opposing team. Hobart had more trouble lighting the charcoal in the wind than the club seemed to have beating Northland. They won 69-19.
Toward the end of the game, Kieser, the KU club player from South Africa, came limping off the field, ready to apply ice to a cramp he'd sustained in the second half. Coach Renfro approached him with a smile on his face, "Hey Dane, you played really, really well. Did you have fun?" Kieser, wincing in pain, forced a smile. "Of course," he said.
Adam Roush passes the ball to Dane Kieser.
A QUICK BREAKDOWN OF HOW ITS PLAYED:
Scoring:
Tries are scored when the ball is grounded in the try zone, which is the area behind the crossbar, and they are worth five points. Conversion kicks, which come after tries, are worth two points. Drop goals are scored in the middle of open play when a player punts the ball over the crossbar. They are worth three points and so are penalty kicks.
Team Dynamics:
There are 15 players on each side; eight forwards and 7 backs. Forwards are bigger and their job on the field is to gain possession of the ball. Backs are faster and more agile players. Their job is to score, and they typically have better kicking skills than the forwards. Although the backs score most points, all positions are equally important.
Match length:
The rugby pitch is generally 144-meters long and 70-meters wide. The exact length and width of each pitch varies, but there is always 100 meters between each try zone. The crossbars, which are the rugby equivalents to the goalposts in football, are H-shaped and they are positioned at the front of the try zones.
Matches are made up of two 40 minute halves. Time is stopped when a player is hurt or when there is a penalty, and that time is applied at the end of the match.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE POPULAR HAIR FEATHER TREND
You've probably seen them intertwined and peeking out of the locks of many women on campus. The latest hair craze, hair feather extensions, became popular last winter and are still selling out in salons today. Celebrities from Selena Gomez to Ke$ha have been sporting the trend and salons are ordering hair feathers in bulk to keep customers satisfied.
What many customers of the stylish hair trend don't know is that the feathers are real feathers from roosters. Mainly used for the flyfisherman business, rooster feathers have recently been largely sought after by hair stylists and salons in order to keep customer demand. The feathers come from "saddle feathers," the longer feathers located on the bird's back.
According to a New York Daily News article, the roosters are genetically bred for the plucking of their saddle feathers, which take years to grow and they usually don't survive the pluck. Many roosters end up being killed.
The fly-fishing industry has seen a substantial peak in business because of the salons and hairstylists flocking to fly-fishing stores to buy
feathers, according to a Seattle Times article. Fly fishermen are annoyed and angry because saddle feathers are harder to find.
Ronn Johnson, owner of Yager Fly Shop in Lawrence says that the saddle feathers and other feathers the store sells have been backordered for months.
AMANDA GAGE
"It's been tough on the whole industry because hair salons will order them in bulk," Johnson says. "I've sold up to $500 in one order of feathers." Yager Fly Shop has an online business as well and Johnsons says he's been successful on the web selling the feathers to places all over the country. He says that the fad will eventually die.
Parendi Birdie, a junior from Lawrence and president of the Compassion for All Animals club, says that any kind of exploitation of
The primary producers of the fly-fishermen feathers is Whiting Farms in Delta, Colo. The Seattle Times article says that 1,500 roosters are harvested per week for their feathers and they're still having trouble keeping up with the fast-selling demand.
animals is still exploitation.
"Exploitation of labor in sweatshops to the exploitation animals face in the clothing, food, entertainment industries is wrong," Birdie says. "Might does not make right. I find it so sad that we are so disconnected from ourselves as animals that we can't see that roosters, like all animals, from dogs, to cows, to humans, feel pain."
Birdie says that generating awareness about this issue is what's needed to inform people of the animals' lives that are lost.
Meris Barnes, senior from Lawrence, is one of many girls on campus sporting the trend, except she is doing it differently. She has five feathers in her hair and has enjoyed ordering them offline with DIY kits. She says she likes them because they're easy to put in and take out and they don't damage your hair like other extensions do.
Barnes says she didn't realize how much harm was being done to the birds and that people should be more aware of the negative side effects and consider switching to synthetic.

Birds of a feather: Hair feathers are a popular demand at salons, but animal activists and fly fisherman aren't happy with the trend.
"I'm a vegetarian and feel the use of real feathers for hair decoration is as bad as wearing fur," Barnes says. "The ones I got, luckily, are synthetic. I think they're better in many ways. They can be heat styled, are more flexible and no animals are harmed to make them."
At Salon Hawk in the Kansas Union, the feathers are from "safe suppliers." Emily Willis, owner of Salon Hawk, says that these suppliers don't harvest feathers or remove them painfully by plucking. Also, proceeds from the extensions are donated to a charity called "Feathers for Cass."
"Cassidy Taylor Moore was my cousin who passed away this spring from committing suicide," Willis says. The money raised is donated to Headquarters, a free service that offers 24/7 suicide prevention.
DIY SYNTHETIC HAIR FEATHER KITS
DIY synthetic hair feather kits are easy to come by like this one available on eBay for $19.99. The kit includes metal pliers to clamp the beads and feather into the hair, a wooden hair pulling hook to section off hair to insert the beads and feather, silicone-lined micro black beads to attach the feather with and 11 different colored synthetic hair extensions. The synthetic printed fiber strands are made to look just like the popular grizzly rooster feathers. They can be washed, cut and styled. The ad includes pictured instructions on how to insert a feather. Meris Barnes, a senior from Lawrence, has ordered kits just like this one off of

combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expaind. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.

Contributed photo Electric feel. Big Gigantic, an electronic group from Colorado, rocked The Granada last month.
The mandolin has been replaced with a synthesized keyboard, vocals substituted with heavy bass drops and subwoofers, and even the traditional drum set has been swapped out for an electronic drum kit. Lawrence used to be all bluegrass and rock n' roll, but lately the scene has changed from traditional jamming to electronic dance music.
With a new semester comes new bands touring through town, and University of Kansas students are seeing less hip-hop and rock and more dance-your-face-off dubstep and electronic groups. Just last month, Big Gigantic from Colorado blasted the bass and shook the dance floor at The Granada Theater with The Floozies, originally from Lawrence.
"Playing a sold out show at the Granada with them was like a massive homecoming party," says Matt Hill, guitar and synth player for The Floozies. "We debated a lot of new material at that show and it couldn't have been a better experience. Lawrence has shown us a lot of love from the beginning, and they continue to every time we play here."
Electronic groups like Big Gigantic and The Floozies incorporate traditional instruments along with soundboards, synthesizers and computer programs — to create a blend of music that's overwhelming the Midwest market one venue at a time. Dominic Lalli, from Big Gigantic, plays a saxophone dubbed over with computerized instrumentals and electronic drums to produce an original sound. The Floozies use an assortment of instruments, electronic beats and prerecorded sound files, blending a rock 'n' roll, bluegrass melody with pure, funky dance music.
While music venues in Kansas City and other bigger cities are still attracting mainstream artists, The Granada Theater and Liberty Hall in Lawrence are bringing in more electronic acts. Although these groups aren't the typical artists most people would listen to on the radio, they definitely attract a crowd of their own and appeal to the more modern fanbase. Dubstep artist DATSIK announced a show at The Granada later this month with other local electronic groups, and The Floozies are returning to The Granada stage in mid-October.
"Two or three years ago, bands like us, Big Gigantic, EOTO, and Vibesquared were all playing much smaller venues like the Jackpot and the Jazzahaus," says Hill. "Now it's 800-1000 capacity venues like The Granada and Liberty Hall. I wouldn't necessarily say it's because its dance music, but the role of electronics in music is so unexplored. There are all these new sounds being created every day."
Liberty Hall, home to some of the biggest acts to pass through Lawrence, is also hosting several big electronic shows. Sound Tribe Sector 9, self-described as "post-rock dance music," is performing at Liberty in early October. EOTO,
another electronic group, is playing on Halloween, and dubstep artist Skrillex already sold out his November tour date.
"I love the good vibes and positive energy I feel during a show," says Ali McGee, a senior from Overland Park. "Dancing is also one of my favorite parts to any good show. If you can't dance to it, it's not worth it."
Brittany Schulenberg, an alumna from Lincoln, Neb., describes going to an electronic dubstep show as, "magical, because the music moves everyone together in unison. It's like an adventure through music and dance, and everybody is getting down." More students like Schulenberg are experiencing it for themselves, especially with rising popularity and all the hype going around. Local bars are playing more music for students to dance to, but it's not just about the sound and heavy bass beats that attract a crowd.
"The shows are always unique, and are almost always better live than recorded, unlike most other music," says Ryan Guenther, a senior from Lawrence.

Sound crews at Lawrence venues, working with technicians who tour with the groups, create a visual masterpiece of flashing, multicolored lights that intensify every aspect of an electronic show and illuminate the crowded dance floor. Usually, lights and strobe flashes follow every bass "bump" and there's a different light show to accompany each song, further adding to the overall entertainment factor and attracting more people to each show. The lights and music go hand-in-hand to create the best experience for show-goers and venue employees.

Germaphobes, beware. Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion" is an elegantly crafted horror film masquerading as a star-studded drama set against the outbreak of a devastating global virus, one that spreads through the subtlest contact and kills without warning. If you or any of your loved ones compulsively hoard Purell or shudder before touching a public doorknob, avoid this movie like the plague.
For the rest of us, though, "Contagion" is a clinically subversive achievement, the welcome return of the smart eco-thriller. The plot kicks in with the mysterious death of Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) who suffers a seizure only hours after returning home from Hong Kong to her husband (Matt Damon). The rest of the film unfolds as a series of character-driven vignettes, from a government bigwig (Laurence Fishburne) desperate to rescue his wife from the infected zone
Additional praise must be given to Soderbergh, whose growing command of atmosphere gives the audience brief, harrowing glimpses of a world where panic and fear can kill you faster than any virus. Cliff Martinez's synthesized soundtrack recalls some of the best conspiracy thrillers of the 1980s and envelops the movie in mounting dread. With these kinds of symptoms, it's easy to see why many are calling this the scariest movie of 2011.
to a scientist (Kate Winslet) hot on the trail of Patient Zero, the original viral carrier. Jude Law also appears as an opportunistic blogger looking to use the epidemic to advance his own conspiracy theories and plug a bogus cure.
All of these big-name actors acquit themselves admirably in their purposely limited screentime and though their involvement could have proved distracting in a lesser work, "Contagion" gleefully dispatches them with refreshing disregard for star power. In fact, their mortality sells the terror. After all, if an Oscar winner isn't safe, who is?

combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now. Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.

Sophomore Amy Whels said there is one way to tell her apart from her twin sister Kara.

"I smile all the time," Amy said. "Kara is more of a 'Let's get down to business. Let's get stuff done' person. I'm just always happy."

FIGHT OR FLIGHT
A HARD LESSON LEARNED: VIOLENCE DOESN'T SOLVE EVERYTHING
The black asphalt stretched across the parking lot behind me and I stood there shaking in fear for my life. I was in third grade, and some of the fifth graders were picking on my friends at recess. I did the only thing I could; I fought them and I won. The victory was bittersweet; the principal stormed out of the building, demanding to talk to the culprit. The sun reflected off his bald head, and the beads of sweat around his neck loosened the knot of his tie. Everyone pointed at me, and I was escorted back into the building to call my parents. The typical "Um-um-um-um" that kids used to say when a classmate got in trouble echoed behind me, trailing in my footsteps.
Since I was a kid, I've always had the inability to step away from any situation I couldn't control. I've always been the one to put myself in harm's way if it meant defending my friends and family. I don't have an anger problem, but I do have a fighter's instinct. I guess some might call it "little man syndrome," since I didn't even break 5-foot-6 until high school. Whatever the reason, my pride and instinct to protect have always come first, and I was mostly accustomed to being on the winning end of every fight, at least, until last summer.
You wouldn't expect a bar in Lawrence to be packed wall-to-wall in the middle of the week, but the drink specials that night in late July were just too good for any of us to pass up. Sometime during the night, I saw my younger brother, Ross, with some friends on the back patio, and I walked over to talk to them. The crowd overwhelmed us both, and we eventually became separated from our friends. We lost track of time and then heard the door guys yelling, "Bar's closed, everyone out," and had no choice but to leave.
Ross tried calling his friends for a ride, but no one answered. Mine had already left and headed back to my friend's house a couple blocks away. We decided to grab some pizza across the street. The humid air hung over us, and people definitely seemed on edge. My brother and I took our pizza out to the back patio to eat. We finished our food, and then started walking back to my friend's house.
About a block from the bar, a dark-colored SUV drove past us, and several male voices shouted out the window at my brother and I for no apparent reason.
"Fucking assholes!"
"Douchebags!"
It was like these guys were trying to provoke us, and it worked. Next thing I knew, we were yelling back at them, repeating the same thing they said to us. What happened next was something neither one of us expected. The SUV pulled into a vacant parking lot and the doors flung open. Five or six large guys poured out of it like a clown car, all wearing different colored shirts, and lined up in front of the vehicle like a firing squad.
"What'd you fucking say to us?"
They yelled at us like the whole thing was our fault. I could feel the anticipation growing inside me, the adrenaline pulsating and my old instincts returning to me. I clenched my fists and glanced over at my brother.
"Sack up, Max."
That was all he said and I had no idea what it meant at the time. He put his fists up in front of him, like Rocky about to face off against Apollo, and I turned back toward our opponents. They advanced toward us like a pack of lions converging on its prey and my own selfish pride wouldn't let me run away. I felt compelled to stand strong—to protect my brother at all costs. I can't remember the guys' faces, but I can remember the color of their shirts. One guy wearing a yellow shirt charged
toward me and I leapt forward and heaved my fist into the air. We were severely outnumbered, but I didn't care. I was running on autopilot, fighting subconciously and reflexively, and I can't remember any of it. I can't remember if that first punch I threw connected or if I missed completely. All I know is that when I finally came to, I was standing by my brother and we were both hunched over gasping for breath. The guys were gone.
One of my friends came back looking for me, and when he saw me his eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets.
"Uh, dude? What the hell happened?"
I tried to answer him, but I couldn't remember. My jaw was killing me, and blood covered half my face from a cut on my forehead. My hands and elbows were scraped up, and I couldn't help but think to myself: who won the fight? Ross was fine, for the most part. I was satisfied with that, since my ultimate goal was to protect him. I hadn't backed down. I took the beating, and he walked away with a few bruises, but my pride put us both in danger. We could have been killed. They could have had weapons. A million different things could have gone wrong, but they didn't, and we were still standing.
My friend walked me back to my apartment, and my brother managed to find a ride home.
I was fortunate to have one of my sober neighbors drive me to the emergency room. After several hours of check-ups, scans and X-rays, the verdict was this: a cracked jaw and eight stitches in my forehead.
I was fortunate enough that I didn't have to have my jaw wired shut, but I still couldn't eat solid foods for two weeks. The hospital felt like the principal's office, and I felt like an immature third grader. I don't know what happened to those guys, but I knew that ultimately, I had lost. My body eventually healed, but the leftover scar on my forehead is a constant reminder that even I have limits. I can't put myself in these situations. I'm not in third grade anymore. I'm 23-years-old, and the fighter inside me stepped out of the ring that night.
A month later, my friend Ali was talking to me about it, and one thing she said stuck out to me. "Next time, keep your damn mouth shut."

If you think dancing isn't hard work,try taking a walk in the shoes of the University Dance Company members. They make the art of dance seem much easier than it is.
Dedicating anywhere from four to 20 hours every week to technique classes and company rehearsals, dancers learn the meaning of discipline. Managing their schedules between rehearsals, general education classes, working, and their home lives can definitely be a challenge, but learning this skill of time management pays off in the end for company members.
"We are a pre-professional dance performance ensemble and one of our main purposes is to reach out to the University and community through dance and share our art form with them," Libby Ingram, president of the University Dance Company said.
"Being part of the University Dance Company teaches you so much about things like responsibility and leadership, which can all be applied outside of dance," Ingram said. "Some people just don't understand how much time and effort we put into dancing. We are some of the most organized
people that I know and we are all passionate about what we do. This experience in college will translate into other areas of our lives."
With such a prestigious faculty, the members of the University Dance Company are set up for success.
"The dance faculty is phenomenal," Alyssa Mann, vice president of the University Dance company, said "We are so close with all of them since we get to work with them so much. There's a great connection, which is very important, that you wouldn't ever get in any other department."
There are many misconceptions about dancers who pursue a career in the dance world. Michelle Hefner Hayes, professor and chairperson of the dance department, said. Contrary to popular belief, Hefner Hayes assured that there are many ways to make a living with a dance major. She said that there are many career opportunities for dance majors and minors, which include working behind the scenes with lighting, getting involved in the education field, and even marketing and fundraising for dance.
"You wouldn't believe how many jobs are available in the dance world." Parents are always
The Big 12 seemingly escaped yet another apparent collapse, but this time the conference will continue under new leadership.
SEE DANCE 12
According to a statement from the conference, the Big 12 Board of Directors and Commissioner Dan Beebe have reached a "mutual agreement" for him to step down from the position immediately.
"I put all my effort into doing what was best for the Big 12. With great fondness, I wish the Big 12 Conference a long and prosperous future." Beebe said in a statement.
Beebes interim replacement will be former Big Eight Conference Commissioner Chuck Neinas; he will start working immediately. Neinas served as Big Eight commissioner from 1971 to 1980. Neinas currently runs his own consulting firm, Neinas Sports Services, out of his home in Boulder, Colo.
Beebe has been scrutinized for his handling of conference realignment, so the news of his resignation comes as no surprise. In the last year under Beebe's watch, the conference has lost Colorado, Nebraska and Texas A&M.
In just under a week, the Big 12 has gone from the verge of implosion to now discussing expansion. Thursday evening all nine remaining Big 12 schools pledged its allegiance to the conference going forward.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger issued a statement saying that the remaining schools "agreed to measures that will ensure the stability of the conference moving forward."
"The preservation of the Big 12 has been our primary objective as we worked to uphold the interests of KU, our student-athletes and fans," the statement said. "Tonight's agreement will enable us to again look at expansion as a way to solidify the conference's national standing."
Beebe's decision to allow schools to launch independent television networks helped save the conference from collapse in 2010. Beebe received so much praise that the Big 12 Board of Directors rewarded him with a contract extension through 2015 in November of last year. However, the decision to allow networks with unequal revenue sharing resulted in the launching of Texas Longhorn Network, which was backed by ESPN's $300 million investment.
The Longhorn Network apparently created so much animosity among the members that Texas A&M bolted to the Southeastern Conference. Texas &M President R. Bowen Loftin cited Texas' influence as one of the main reasons for leaving the Big 12.

Jose Luis Velasco grew up in Mexico, living in a home with dirt floors. After only two years of school, he could not continue to the third grade because he was needed to work on his family's farm. In 1979, at age 17, he left Mexico to pursue a better life for himself in Southern California.
Kris Velasco, a junior from Wamego and Jose's son, is reaping the benefits of that better life his father sought years ago. As the first person on both sides of his family to attend college, Velasco knows the importance of supporting Hispanic students. With Hispanic Heritage Month underway, Velasco helped the Multicultural Education Fund distribute money to student groups hosting events throughout the month.
Miguel Camacho, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO), said these events on campus are important to bring exposure to HALO and the Hispanic community.
HALO kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 16 by showcasing Hispanic dance and music, two things Camacho said are very important to the Hispanic culture
GROWING UP HISPANIC
Velasco knows all about the importance of these traditions, having
grown up in the Hispanic community of Temecula, Calif. Velasco said he never felt like a minority because everyone was like him. It was common to speak Spanish at home and English at school and have an immigrant parent.
Once Velasco and his family moved to Wamego when he was 15, that all changed. As one of three non-white kids at his new school, Velasco, for the first time, felt ashamed of his culture.
"Being the new student and being the minority student as well, I kind of tried to blend in as much as I could since I am lighter skinned," Velasco said. "Rather than just trying to challenge them and make them see the real side of being Hispanic, I didn't want to stand out
even more.
The unity of Hispanic culture on campus is evident to non-Hispanic students as well. Sarah Stern, a junior from Lawrence, was vice president of HALO last year but now
HISPANIC CULTURE AT KANSAS
Once Velasco got to the University, he started to look at his Mexican culture in a different way, with the help of Hispanic Heritage Month activities.
"Coming to KU it was really great to see not just Mexicans, but people from other Hispanic countries fully embracing their heritage," Velasco said. "It was really easy for me to accept my own culture when I saw so many people celebrating it and people I could identify with."

works with the Student Coalition for Immigrant Rights. Stern values spending time with the Hispanic community on campus and in Lawrence and she wants every student to see how important this culture is.
"When you say Hispanic or Latino, there's so many different cultures within that from each country," Stern said. "Each one has its own really rich tradition and it's really important to recognize and distinguish between those different cultures and not just lump them all together as Hispanic."

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
HAVANA
Cuban authorities said Thursday that American Diana Nyad plans to take another shot at what would be a record swim from Cuba to Florida after falling short of her goal last month.
An email from Cuban press officials invited journalists to an encounter with the famed endurance swimmer Friday at a marina in Havana.
"Diana Nyad will offer a news conference before once again beginning to swim across the Florida Straits between Havana and Key West, in continuation of the attempt realized on Aug. 7," the invitation read.
A spokeswoman for Nyad declined to comment on her plans, saying she would do so at the news conference.
The Los Angeles woman set out Aug.7 from a Havana jetty and swam 29 hours before calling it quits about halfway through the 103-mile (166-kilometer) crossing.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has distanced himself from a suspected corruption scandal that has roiled the French political class after an investigating magistrate began legal action against two of his close allies.
PARIS
Investigators are probing whether a French defense deal in the 1990s with Pakistan involving suspected kickbacks set the stage for a Karachi car bombing in 2003 that killed 15 people — mostly French defense contractors.
In a statement Thursday, Sarkozy's office said his name is not mentioned in any documents linked to the investigation, and lashed out at "slander and political manipulation" over the case.
Investigators on Wednesday filed preliminary charges linked to alleged corruption against two Sarkozy confidants — former officials Nicolas Bazire and Thierry Gaubert.
Prada, hailed by fashion critics as one of the few designers today with a personal point of view and a thirst for new ideas, had already skimmed the comic books for her summer menswear collection in June. She decorated her casual collection with cowboy figures, rockabilly dancers, old-fashioned cars and sports gear — especially golf, the main theme of the collection.
MILAN
Miuccia Prada is on a fashion sabbatical from the real world, taking refuge in a fantasy land of comic strips, yesteryear toys and fictitious characters.
For her Spring/Summer 2012 women's collection, which previewed Thursday, Prada was back in the make-believe grab bag. She pulled out 1950s model cars (two in plastic foam doubled as seats for guests at the show), comic book figures and bouquets of roses from grandma's trunk in the attic.

A memorial ceremony for thousands of Jewish victims of the Holocaust was held Thursday in a church in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, with volunteers reading the name and profession of every resident who lived in the Jewish chetto.
Organizers said the lists of names, gathered from a census taken in 1942, includes thousands of names and would require at least 15 hours to read.
The ghetto was established after Nazi Germany took over Lithuania in 1941. A large part of the ghetto's population died from either starvation or disease, and those who survived where subsequently shot outside Vilnius or sent to death camps.
VILNIUS, LITHUANIA
"There were thousands on names read today — names of Jews who died in a forest near Vilnius after the Nazis marched them from the ghetto," lawmaker Emanuelis Zingeris told The Associated Press.

UNITED WAY FROM 11
way to reaching its fundraising goal of $315,000. Thursday's fundraising event, which collected roughly $400, contributed to the current donation tally of $100,000.
The United Way of Douglas County provides funds to a variety of organizations in the Lawrence community, such as the Willow Domestic Violence Center, GaDuGi SafeCenter and Douglas County AIDS Project.
"$10 is a great gift and our agencies can make it go a long way," she said. "Help us beat Missouri."
Colleen Gregoire, vice president of the United Way of Douglas County, said that because of the fraught economy many people need assistance from organizations that the United Way supports.
"There are more and more people across the community that don't have jobs," she said. "And they're needing some extra help."
The fundraising event also launched a t-shirt competition amongst students from the University of Missouri, Kansas State University and the University of Kansas. Last year, the University of Missouri won the competition.
Alexx Fuller, a sophomore from San Diego, Calif., said that her family's plan to start a nonprofit organization prompted her to contribute to the United Way at the fundraising event.
"Non-profit organizations benefit off what people donate," Fuller said. "I find that important."
Gregorie said that donations of any size will help the Lawrence community.
DANCE FROM 11
so thrilled to hear that. There are a lot of ways to have a life in dance beyond the moment of performance," Heffner Hayes said.
But future salaries aren't the sole priority for dancers of the University Dance Company. Each member wishes to use their passion to affect the audience. Movements are used instead of words to convey a message to the audience. Company members hope that the University's students will walk away with a new outlook on dance after watching their performances, which are scheduled for this semester on Nov.
"To grow as a university, everyone should know what's going on throughout the campus; the arts are important, just like athletics. We just want students to give it a chance."

"Even though we put a lot of hard work into what we do, that's not what it's all about. We want everyone to enjoy and appreciate what we do, maybe not understand it, but appreciate the art and try to learn something new," Mann said.

REALITY TV
Even a trip to the nut farm couldn't help Roseanne Barr's attempt at reality TV. Lifetime canceled "Roseanne's Nuts" after one season.
The Emmy-winning "Roseanne" star confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: "Roseanne's Nuts has been canceled ... thanks everyone for watching!" Lifetime didn't immediately return requests for confirmation.
The series premiered in July and documented the 58-year-old's life working on her macadamia nut farm in Hawaii, along with boyfriend Johnny and her son Jake. The show got off to an impressive start, with 1.63 million viewers.
But ratings slipped and the series changed time slots for its last four installations. Its last episode was Sent. 16.
The series adds to Barr's failures at reality TV. Her first time around was in 2003 with ABC, in "The Real Roseanne Show," chronicling the making of her ABC Family cooking program, "Domestic Goddess." Both projects were halted after she underwent a hysterectomy.

ACCIDENT
Reported crash just a plane prop
A possible plane crash reported near an Ohio interstate turned out to be only a prop on the grounds of a water park.
- Associated Press
Media outlets report a passing motorist on Interstate 71 north of Cincinnati thought it was a downed plane and alerted authorities late Wednesday morning. Fire and emergency crews were dispatched to the scene.
Spokesman Derek Blevins at The Beach Water Park in Mason tells WHO radio the decorative prop has been on the property since May and was never an issue before. But he said it may be more visible from the interstate because falling leaves have reduced the amount of tree cover.
CRIME
Back-to-back DUI charges
Police have charged a man in western Pennsylvania with driving drunk twice in the same night — the second time about 15 minutes after they released him into the custody of a friend.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 58-year-old Robert Brodnick, of Washington, Pa., who was arrested Monday night by the state police.
Police charge that Brodnick's blood-alcohol limit was at least double what the law allows when he was arrested. Trooper Joseph Christy says troops released Brodnick to the custody of a "responsible party" but said that person must have dropped off Brodnick at his vehicle because the same trooper who arrested Brodnick saw him driving again.
Brodnick tells WPXI-IV that he had two or three beers and just wanted to drive his new car home.

Man convicted of raw chicken crime
KDVR-TV reports that 58-year-old Ronald Smith also poured an unknown substance into a baby grand piano and erased the hard drive on his ex-wife's computer.
A Denver man convicted of placing raw chicken in his ex-wife's heating ducts and other acts of vandalism could face up to 18 years in prison.
The station reports a Denver jury deliberated for about six hours Wednesday before finding Smith guilty of second-degree burglary and criminal mischief.
Authorities say the vandalism caused thousands of dollars of damage.

Beebe won't be missed as Neinas takes over
W ere glad Dan Beebe is gone.
Beebe, who has lost control of the conference and the faith of its members as Big 12 commissioner, finally reached a "mutual agreement" with the conference to step down.
In his place, Big 12 chancellors and presidents unanimously selected former Big Eight Commissioner Chuck Neinas to serve as interim commissioner.
Despite the Big 12 Conference putting faith in Beeber's leadership abilities by giving him a three-year contract extension last November, Beeber couldn't handle the collapse of the conference. Tavae A&M University official
Texas A&M University official
ly asked to be withdrawn from the Big 12 and applied for the Southeastern Conference earlier this month. University of Oklahoma and University of Texas openly explored leaving the conference while the smaller members, including the University of Kansas, indirectly threatened those institutions by refusing to waive their rights to take legal action.
By some member institutions turning their backs on tradition, and others fueling legal infighting, the Big 12 showed the nation the conference's dynamics aren't working. News coverage shifted from the Big 12's success on the field, to the conference's demise off it. The onus was on Beebe to
be a leader and prevent other conferences from picking apart the Big 12 the last two years, but he failed.
The conference is still hanging by threads right now thanks to the Pac-12 closing expansion speculations for now. The remaining Oklahoma and Texas schools were considering transferring, making a Pac-16 the NCAA's first super-conference.
Beebe's removal is what needed to be done to keep the Big 12 intact. The University's best interests now lie in making the Big 12 a strong conference. Texas was gifted an unfair advantage with their Longhorn Network during Beebe's reign. We hope Nemas
will introduce discipline in the conference so no institution gets special treatment. Also, all members of the conference need to make the necessary concessions to prevent each other from bolting.
With the Big East on the brink of collapse as a major conference, and schools looking to upgrade into a major conference, the Big 12 has a golden opportunity to add one institution to replace Texas A&M. Now should be the time Neinas changes the Big 12's focus from survival to reinforcement.

Emmy winners, hosts and fashionistas see red on the red carpet
By Lizzie Marx
lmarx@kansan.com
The carpet was not the only thing that was red at the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards Sunday night. Stars dazzled in their couture dresses that matched the red carpet perfectly.
E! Host, Giuliana Rancic,
tried to camouflage with the
carpet while interviewing
celebrities, but that was hardy
the case since she wore a stun-
ning, mermaid-style, Roberto
Cavali strapless dress
Kate Winslet was a double winner. Not only was she awarded Best Actress in a miniseries, but she also "capped" the top of the best-dressed list in her cap-sleeved Elie Saab dress.
Sofia Vergara was Modern Family's luck charm for the night in her ravishing red, one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang that featured intricate draping.
- Lizzie Marx is a sophomore in journalism from St. Louis
Red has now been declared the winning color of the season, so why not incorporate some into your everyday wardrobe. It's the color of sophistication and power, so not matter what you wear, as long as it's red, you'll gain a sense of instant glamour. Watch the scene in "Funny Girl" where Audrey Hepburn glides down the stairs of the Louvre in her flowing red dress and you will understand just how enchanting red can be. In order to obtain your own sense of allure from this magical color, try a red quilted vest ($45) from the European designer Dorothy Perkins. This is a perfect piece of outerwear for those upcoming chilly, fall days. If you want to float along your own red carpet, opt for an ASOS chiffon dress with flowing sleeves ($35). If red isn't an award-winning color for you, try it as an accent piece to any outfit. A suede shopper bag ($89) from Zara is a great investment piece for fall since it is an alluring accent to any outfit and is equally as functional as it is fashionable. Due to its large size, you are able to fit all of your academic essentials in it in order to make those award-winning grades. Wearing red is the boldest fashion trend this fall, and just as the famous American designer Bill Blass said, "When in doubt, wear red."

LETTER to the EDITOR Salary increases validated
I was disappointed in the Kansan's editorial, "New administrative pay raises unnecessary," and the faulty premise on which it was based. Contrary to that editorial, these changes save money.
In a phone conversation with author Clayton Ashley on Wednesday afternoon, we discussed these changes. To reiterate the points I made to the author, the current salary of the Vice Provost for Student Success of $186,000 is being saved, but due to increased responsibilities from the reorganization there are some salary increases totaling $82,111. If the Kansan has concerns about salary increases, it should not be because of increased costs, as this reorganization is in
As the Kansan noted in its previous day's editorial, "Plan a bold step to improve graduation rate," many of the goals and strategies of KU's new strategic plan are reliant upon the dedicated staff who work in academic and student affairs. The university is committed to recruiting students to attend KU and helping them graduate and go on to successful careers. This reorganization puts KU in a better position to achieve these goals and, contrary to the misinformation included in your editorial, will save money.
Gavin Young is the Provost's Communications Coordinator
fact generating over $100,000 in savings.
The Kansan Responds
The tone and content of the editorial did not fairly address the positive impact of the restructuring of the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success. This change is resulting in a net $100,000 in cost savings for the University. Although we may not agree with the raises given to administrators, we commend them for finding avenues to make informed cuts in expenses.
We would like to clarify yesterday's editorial, "New administrative pay raises unnecessary," in response to Public Affairs Communications Coordinator Gavin Young's letter to the editor on this page.
The primary intent of the editorial was to express our
We apologize for any misunderstanding this has caused. Unfortunately, mistakes do happen. But when they do, we will make sure those mistakes are corrected and rectified. We are learning from this and will make sure every editorial has a fair and informed recommendation.
concern over the raises being given to three administrators. These administrators are receiving raises due to increased workloads. But staff and faculty members across campus also are handling larger workloads from increased enrollment and budget tightening, but they aren't receiving any raises.

2:30 P.M. SATURDAY, SEPT. 24
Oklahoma State takes its No. 1 ranked passing offense to College Station in a game in which the winner will receive a major momentum boost and the loser will face an uphill battle to claim the Big 12 title.
[ ]
PLAYER TO WATCH
Randle
Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle:
All the talk will be on quarterback Brandon Weeden and the Cowbys' passing attack, but if Randle can keep the offense balanced, as he has through the first three weeks of the season, it could keep the A&M defense back on its heels.
PREDICTION:
34-27, OKLAHOMA STATE
In what will be a close game, the experience and talented combination of quarterback Brandon Weeden and receiver Justin Blackmon will be too much for the Aggie defense to contain, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill and the Aggies won't be able to keep up.

2:30 P.M. SATURDAY, SEPT. 24
The Wildcats take their show on the road for the first time this season, where they will face a Hurricane team riding high after a victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes last week. This game marks Wichita native and former Hurricane Arthur Brown's first game against his former school since transferring to Kansas State following the 2009 season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein.
Klein's passing numbers have been less than spectacular in his first two games, but he is currently the Wildcats leading rusher, carrying the ball 44 times for 217 yards and two touchdowns in the team's first two games.
PREDICTION:
31-17, MIAMI (FL)
Kansas State currently has the top-ranked scoring defense, but that probably will not continue as the Wildcats will face their first test of the year. With quarterback Jacquelyn Harris back under center for the Hurricanes, the Wildcats will have trouble waving the Hurricanes out of the endzone.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Griffin has been fantastic in his first two games, throwing for 624 yards and eight touchdowns on his way to becoming an early Heisman Trophy contender.
PREDICTION:
49-20. BAYLOR
Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III:
Baylor's offense will continue to roll under Griffin, and Rice won't know how to stop him. Texas put up 34 points against Rice a few weeks ago with the much less talented Garret Gilbert under center. Griffin will tear the Owl defense up with his arm and his legs.

Volleyball begins conference play
MATT GALLOWAY
BIG 12
mgalloway@kansan.com
Volleyball may not have the pull that sports like football and basketball have, but make no mistake: the players on the Kansas volleyball team have as much interest in the conference realignment drama as their peers.
"I think our players are curious like everybody else is," coach Ray Bechard said, "but they know what we've got in front of us for the next couple of months, for sure."
The Jayhawks (11-1) begin conference play this Saturday at 4 p.m. against the No. 8 Texas Longhorns (7-3) in Austin, Texas. It will be the first Big 12 conference season for the Jayhawks without Colorado and powerhouse Nebraska, but Bechard said the conference at the moment is the best it has been in his 14 years at the helm in Lawrence.
"You take Colorado and Nebraska out of the equation, but from top to bottom this is the highest percentage of wins our conference has had going into conference play," Bechard said. "You look at teams like Texas Tech who people picked to finish last, and they're 12-1 right now having won 12 in a row."
Nationally-ranked Texas actually begins conference play at the bottom of the league in win percentage, but the Longhorns 7-3 record is not a fair reflection of coach Jerritt Elliott's squad. The Longhorns have already played five ranked teams,
a team that has a chance to play the last weekend in San Antonio"
The only common opponent the Jayhawks and the Longhorns have seen so far is No. 9 Minnesota, who the Jayhawks defeated in five sets on Sept. 10. The Longhorns were swept in two separate matches by Minnesota on Friday and Saturday of Sept. 2-3.
"They bit off the most competitive schedule in the country," Bechard said. "I know for his young team that was a lot. They're going to be
Sophomore libero Brianne Riley said the Minnesota game was a turning point for the Jayhawks, who look to continue to carry momentum into Austin this weekend.
"I think we know that this week we have to be sure we're working just as hard as Texas is." Riley said. "We've been playing very well this year, especially after our Minnesota game. We have a chance, and it's going to be a good game."
The Jayhawks enter the weekend with junior Tayler Tolefree playing perhaps the best volleyball of her career. Tolefree had a double-double in last Saturday's five-set win against Valparaiso, recording 17 kills and 11 blocks. Bechard said he thinks there is not a more difficult double-double in the sport than the kills and blocks combination.
"Tayler is playing excellent right now," Wehrs said. "She's putting up her blocks. I can always count on her to get a kill. If we need a point, I can go to her. She's a good leader on the court."
Sophomore setter Kara Wehrs said she can count on Tolefree to finish the job when she sends a ball her way.
PREDICTION:
38-13, OKLAHOMA
Edited by Lindsey Deiter
The Sooners have had this game circled on their calendar all year and will come out firing on all cylinders to avenge last season's loss. Missouri quarterback James Franklin will struggle against the Stouln sooner defense.

Shaq spoke those words on March 13, 2001, not even six months after Pierce was stabbed 11 times in a Boston night club, minutes after he dropped 42 points on the Los Angeles Lakers, his favorite team as a kid. The Celtics lost that night 112-107, but that's not what people remember. Since that game, from California to Massachusetts, there is one justifiable truth, and his name is Paul Pierce.
“Take this down. My name is Shaquille O'Neal, and Paul Pierce is the mother---- truth. Quote me on that, and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth.”
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
It all started at the playgrounds of Inglewood, Calif., where Pierce grew up emulating his idol, Magic Johnson. Pierce took his basketball and dribbled down Crenshaw Blvd., past junkies who scratch and gangs tongtats gats, evading cracks in sidewalks, keeping his head up and his basketball away from cars zooming by. When he finally got to the park, he played with whoever showed until the sun went down. This is how he formed his game. Never the strongest nor the fastest, Pierce has always used his creativity to score. The playgrounds were his labs for experimentation. Allen Fieldhouse and the parquet floor at the Boston Garden showcased the summation of his past.

BEFORE KANSAS
As a senior in high school, Pierce was the No.1 prospect in California and a McDonald's All-American alongside Vince Carter, Antwan Jamison, Stephon Marbury and future teammate Kevin Garnett. Pierce was impressed with former Kansas coach Roy Williams' no-nonsense style and decided to become a Jayhawk. He joined future NBA players Jacque Vaughn, Scot Pollard and Raef LaFrentz and was named Big Eight Freshman of the Year in 1996, but Kansas fell to Syracuse 60-57 in the Elite Eight. In his sophomore season, Pierce and the Jayhawks jumped to a 22-0 start, and were No.1 in the AP polls for months. They were heavy favorites to reach the Final Four, but lost to Mike Bibby and the underdog Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16. The next year, Vaughn and Pollard were off to the NBA, but the team was no chump change with Pierce and LaFrentz still around. They entered the tournament as a No.1 seed, crushed Prairie View 110-52 in the opening round, but Rhode Island, a No.8 seed, upset Kansas by way of Cuttin Mobley's 27 points.
ON TO THE NBA
Pierce jumped to the league after his junior season, and the Celtics took him 10th overall in the 1998 NBA draft. Pierce has always been one of the better players in the NBA, but he spent years stuck in the standings' cellar. The Celtics never gave him a strong supporting cast, and trade rumors swirled around his name year after year. Then in 2007, general manager Danny Ainge traded for veteran stars Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, restoring the glory of the franchise with the most championships in NBA history. Allen and Garnett, like Pierce, never had strong enough supporting casts to truly contend. Now they were together, and "The Big Three" wanted nothing more than to finish their careers with a championship.
DEFINING MOMENT
"The Big Three," along with Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, James Posey and others immediately formed one of the better teams in the NBA. The Celtics reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, ready for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The series featured elite defense and went to seven games. In the final bout, Pierce and James could have settled the game one-on-one. That's essentially what it was. Pierce knocked down a jump shot. James followed with his own. Pierce hit another. Then James once more.
James scored 45 points, four more than his adversary, but Pierce won the game, and eventually the NBA Finals. It was the first Celtics championship since 1986, and it was sealed in a 131-92 blowout in Boston against you guessed it — the Lakers.
"It means so much more because these are the guys, the Havliceks, the Bill Russells, the Cousys," Pierce said. "These guys started what's going on with those banners. They don't hang up any other banners but champion- ship ones. And now I'm a part of it."

If basketball ruled conference realignment
MORNING BREW
I know you're all wondering where Kansas will find a home after the conference realignment fiasco has finished.
It looks like it will be in the Big 12, but that's not a done deal. Conferences are al ready messed up with geographic location, so why not shake it up even more?
That's right, I'm proposing a draft of the six major conferences. There will be eight rounds and each conference will have one pick. It will be a snake draft, so a conference can pick first in one round and then sixth in the next. The schools picked are based on who I think have been the best in the last 10 years in basketball. While football is the driving force behind conference realignment, basketball is still important. Schools like Tennessee and Connecticut that have prominent women's basketball teams are also taken into account.
The order has been randomized by me — picked out of a hat — and the order is Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC, Big East, ACC.

It could have been a geographic cluster, but that wouldn't have made sense. Kansas ended up with Arizona, Illinois, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma and Indiana. Kansas keeps its long standing rivalries with Missouri and Kansas State, while also facing tradition rich teams like Arizona and Illinois. Basketball trumps football in Lawrence and one of the most exciting times for Kansas fans is March Madness.

Offensive line coach inducted to Hall of Honor by alma mater
ETHAN PADWAY

Kansas Football offensive line coach J.B. Grimes will be inducted into the Reddie Hall of Honor at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Ark., on Saturday.
Grimes played on the offensive line at Henderson State from 1973-76. Grimes, who started his career as a walk-on and earned a scholarship by the end, won three Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference titles at Henderson State and advanced to the NAIA national championship game in 1974.
Grimes was named an All-AIC
offensive lineman in 1976.
"This is a huge honor because I played on so many good football teams with so many good players," Grimes said in a press release in July when he learned about his induction. "It is humbling for me because there are a lot of other players who deserve this a lot more than I do. I was not really a
great player. I was not even a really good player, but I was what I like to call a 'try-hard' guy. I took the field, worked hard and helped out the team as best as I could."
Grimes is in his second year as the offensive line coach for Kansas. He coached for the 1987 Division I-AA national champion, Northeast Louisiana. Grimes
coached in the 1990 Cotton Bowl for Arkansas as an assistant. He later coached in consecutive BCS Bowl games under Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech, the 1995 Orange Bowl and 1996 Sugar Bowl. Grimes made his last BCS appearance as an assistant coach for Texas A&M in the 1999 Sugar Bowl.
Grimes will be inducted at 11
a. m. Saturday at the Garrison Center Day Gym on the Henderson State campus.
"It was really a great time that I would have not traded for anything in the world." Grimes said in a press release.

COMMENTARY
Wildcat stunts offense
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/themattgalloway
Jayhawk fans typically hate anything Wildcat related. It's like second nature. But when it comes to the gimnicky formation of the same name being run by the Kansas football team this season, that hate is more than justified.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb's fans can call it something else; unfair
The Wildcat formation features a running back taking a direct snap with three options. He could carry the ball himself, pitch to another runner, or, if he's feeling lucky, pass to an often wide-open wideout. It's similar to the Yellow Jackets' triple option formation, only in this case less effective.
The coaching staff would prefer fans call it "the Jayhawk". Given the formation's tameness against Georgia Tech in last Saturday's historic 66-24 loss in Atlanta, perhaps "the house cat" is a more fitting name.
Webb, in his second season as starter, faced several third-and-long passing scenarios as a direct result of the failures of the Wildcat formation. The second half was Murphy's law in action, so for the purposes of this column, let's just focus on the first half.
LEGENDS OF THE
PIG GROUP
NATIONAL SPORTS
COMPANY
Kansas (2-1) ran eight plays out of the Wildcat in that half. They totaled 17 yards, a 2.125 yards per carry average and zero first downs in those eight snaps. None of the Wildcat plays mixed in passing to catch the defense off-guard. Saturday's Wildcat formations were the definition of predictability.
Complaining about the offense in the Georgia Tech loss is like saying the rocks at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean damaged the Titanic. The defense was the true iceberg here, yielding enough records to Georgia Tech that the school has actually started selling t-shirts commemorating the curb-stomping. But to focus on the defensive shortcomings might sweep some lingering offensive problems under the rug. The lajawhacks need to address those problems if they want to play another competitive game this season.
Edited by Ben Chipman
Webb won't be able to keep this third down success rate up. Nobody could. The Kansas coaching staff has something special in the sophomore quarterback, but by disrupting his rhythm and constantly putting him in third-and-long situations, they risk stunting his growth.
To his credit, Webb handled the scheme's shortcomings wonderfully in the first half. He converted six of eight third down passing attempts, with an average first down difference of 6.125 yards. And one of those third down incompletions came on a drop by freshman wide receiver Marquis Jackson. Of the eight third down passing attempts, four were preceded by plays out of the Wildcat while Webb was on the sideline.

Webb finished the game 11-for-19 with 148 passing yards and, miraculously, no interceptions. The primary Wildcat carrier, senior running back Rell Lewis, finished with 10 carries and 26 yards on the ground.
Perhaps the most jarriving examples of the Wildcat's ineffectiveness and Webb's excellence came on the Jayhawks' fourth drive. On third and five, Webb completed a 17-yard pass to junior wide receiver Kale Pick. Then came two consecutive Wildcat plays, each gaining two yards. Webb trotted out for another third down needing six yards, and he delivered again, zipping a pass to senior tight end Tim Biere for eight yards and another first down.

mvernon@kansan.com
The spectacle that was supposed to be senior receiver Daymond Patterson's final year was pushed back one season.
Three receptions, 34 yards, and one touchdown into Patterson's senior season, he had to be taken out of the game because of a groin injury. A little more than two weeks later, Turner Gill announced he would be done for the year.
Patterson will take a medical redshirt this year, and will still be eligible for his senior year next season. Gill said the groin injury wouldn't have kept Patterson on the sidelines the whole season, but the coaches and Patterson both decided it would be best to let him have a full and healthy senior season.
While no one is happy about losing Patterson for the rest of the season, the idea of him coming back next year with the majority of the jayhawks' offensive players is an exciting thought for coach Turner Gill and his staff.
"It's nothing but good having a guy with that kind of experience come back for another year," Gill said. "We're obviously going to miss him, but it's an opportunity for someone else and it will definitely make us stronger as we move forward to next season."
Losing Patterson certainly removes a chunk of the Jayhawks' depth and experience at receiver, but they have other young players who can step up to fill the void.
Junior receiver D.J. Beshears has been the player to step in since Patterson's injury. He has fast become the top target for sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb, catching 12 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns in the past two games.
Freshman receiver JaCoey Shepherd, who sat out the Georgia Tech game because of an injury, will also play an integral role stepping up at receiver. Shepherd caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his first game as a Jayhawk against McNeese State.
knows the future of the program will be better off because of the injury.
It's an unfortunate delay in Paterson's final hurrah at Kansas. But sometimes things happen for a reason. Gill said the Jayhawks will obviously miss his presence, but even he

The players stand in an awkward silence, staring at the ground. The match is replayed in their heads as they wait for the coach to discuss any problems.
After any devastating loss, the mood is uncomfortable.
The Kansas soccer team suffered such a loss against Florida last Sunday, but now the Jayhawks have buried the game and are focused on another formidable opponent. No 4 Oklahoma State on Friday.
"Florida was a big wake-up call for us," freshman forward Jamie Fletcher said. "This week we're trying to get back and build up our confidence again. This game is really important for us because for one its our first conference game."
The most evident improvement this week was the communication in the back line.
Coach Mark Francis said that his entire rotation of defenders needed to play with more cohesiveness. He
reminded them to play as one unit.
After Kansas allowed five goals in the first half against the Gators, Francis knew changes needed to be made.

"This is a really great opportunity to show everyone out there that we're not the same team as we were last year," sophomore forward Amy Grow said.
Kansas also wants to avoiding getting in a deficit in the first half. Through nine games, Kansas has given up 12 goals in the first half compared to the five goals in the second half.
In order to accomplish this, Francis said the Jayhawks need to make their defense more compact and then create good scoring opportunities.

3:25 p.m.
4:40 p.m.
Power was restored, but services still disrupted included telephone and Internet connections in residence halls, cable television, Commerce Bank at the Kansas Union and some other systems. The alert recommended that students take precautions to protect data and save their work often.
The power at Daisy Hill went out because of an underground line that failed, according to a spokesperson at Westar Energy.
According to KU Information Technology, a power outage at the Ellsworth Wiring Center shut down Internet and other services across some areas of campus. Daisy Hill was without power for part of the morning.
DNS services, My identity sites, cable TV, KU Anywhere, Kyou Portal services and the public labs were affected by the outage.
Workers with Westar Energy worked to resolve the issue
Lights out for students living in residence halls
In an email, IT services said, "in the process of this troubleshooting,[Westar workers] will be activating and dropping power feeds frequently. This may cause service availability to fluctuate."
Daisy Hill was still without cable and internet. There was still no estimated time table for when services will be fully restored. KU information technology staff ordered a generator to be delivered to EIsworth, according to a KU Lawrence Campus Alert.
Jill Jess, director of the KU News Service, confirmed that KU Information Technology had all services restored. The generator that was having issues was repaired.

Power outages on Daisy Hill left students without electricity for several hours Friday morning, creating problems for many students who live in the affected residence halls.
Electricity was out from 8:45 a.m. until 11:15 a.m., according to a spokesperson from Westar Energy. Cable and Internet services were restored to the residence halls at 4 p.m.
The timing of the outage interrupted many students' morning routines.
"I got out of the shower and it started flickering, which made shaving very difficult," said Allison Williams, a freshman from Shawnee, who lives in Lewis residence hall. "I tried to blow dry my hair, but it didn't work because it had all gone out."
Tony Mason, a freshman from Munneapolis, was anxious about missing class because his alarm never went off.
"I had my alarm set at nine but it didn't go off." Mason said. "I woke up and my microwave timer said all zeros and my alarm was blank. But I checked my phone and I still had time to get to class."
"There was a flickering at first," Cook said. "Then our alarm system went off twice. I noticed my Internet wasn't working on WiFi."
Ellsworth, McCollum, Hashinger, Lewis and Templin Halls were all affected by the outage. Some students did not experience a full loss of power.
Katelyn Cook, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., and a resident assistant in Ellsworth hall, was working at the front desk when she started seeing the first signs of the outage.
The RAs were not given information about what was causing the outage or when power would be restored, which caused a frustrating number of questions from residents, Cook said.
"My lights would work, and I had one power strip that worked, but everybody else on the floor didn't have power," Mason said.
More irritating than the outage to some students was the lackluster food because of the outage at Mrs. Fs.

The Marching Jayhawks take the field in their traditional fashion. The group will have a new performance at every home game this year.
A GAME DAY TRADITION
MARSHALL SCHMIDT editor@kansan.com
Unlike past years, the Marching Jayhawks will perform a new half-time show for every home game this season.
The 240-person group works hard throughout the football season, practicing three times a week for two hours on music and marching for the pregame and halftime shows.
"Band rehearsals are a performance driven endeavor," said Matthew Smith, director of athletic bands and interim associate director of bands. "We normally rehearse music as a large group for the next halftime show and then clean up and run through the pregame show."
Smith is in his first year as director of athletic bands and is responsible for the marching band performing a new halftime show
for every game. The key is to create a fun atmosphere, he said.
The Marching Jayhawks perform at all six home games and travel to the games at Iowa State and Arrowhead Stadium against Missouri. Smaller ensembles of marching band members play at various performances around campus as requested by the University.
"A lot goes on behind the scenes, but the most important time is when we're with the students," Smith said. "I try to keep the students in the forefront."
Smith relies a great deal on his support staff, which includes five graduate assistants and three drum majors, upper level members who teach fundamentals and conduct and pick music to play during the game. They also serve as liaison between the students and the director.
This year, Matt Hedrick, a senior from Carrollton, Mo., Emily Glaser,
a senior from West Des Moines, Iowa, and Josh Maddux, a junior from Overland Park, serve as drum majors for the band.
"The greatest challenge is staying focused and motivated in spite of weather, fatigue or personal issues, such as academic stress around midterms," Hedrick said. "The best way to deal with it is to show up for practice with a positive attitude and find a balance to all the time commitments."
All three drum majors are majoring in music education and will likely be directing marching shows themselves in the near future.
On a typical game day, when kickoff is at 11 a.m., band members begin rehearsing at 6:30 a.m. For the homecoming game, the band will march in the parade at 8 a.m. and will not be finished for the day until 3 p.m.
"It's a fun way to experience the field," Glaser said. "Through
all the madness in preparing for a game, it all works because of our leadership team, graduate assistants and director."
The drum majors also point to the band's collective determination to succeed, as well as the group's dynamics. Having been around for 124 years — since 1887 — the band plays a part of the University's rich tradition.
"The marching band is a visual representation of pride and spirit for the University." Glaser said.
Jon Heaver, a sophomore from Sterling Heights, Mich., is playing sousaphone in the band for the second year. Heaver said he enjoys marching as a way to get away from his studies and clear his head after a long day of classes.
In addition to practicing for his classes as a music education major, Heaver memorizes the music for the

For some people in the audience, the show was the first time seeing Glover.
The hour and a half show was filled with his ideas on racism, children, rap music and his experiences with comedic greats like Jon Stewart, Tina Fey and Chevy Chase.
Danny Woods, a senior from Overland Park, was already a fan of Glover's from "Community," but left even more impressed by the comedian.

A North Carolina man crawled four days across the Utah desert after breaking his leg on a solo hike, inspired by a Hollywood movie about a man who cut off his own arm to save himself after being trapped by a boulder in the same canyon.
Amos Wayne Richards, 64, of Concord, N.C., is now recovering at home. He said he was inspired to hike Little Blue John Canyon after he saw the Oscarnominated movie "127 Hours" but fell 10 feet during his trek on Sept. 8.

Canyonlands National Park rangers found Richards four days later. Along with the leg injury, he dislocated his shoulder but was able to work it back into place.
"It took me about 3 or 4 minutes to work my shoulder and get it back in place, and once I got it back in place, I stood up and realized my ankle hurt a little bit." Richards told WBTV in Charlotte last week after his story started getting the attention of national TV news networks.
NEW YORK
Declaring that they were detained because of their nationality, not their actions, two Americans held for more than two years in an Iranian prison came home Sunday, ending a diplomatic and personal ordeal with a sharp rebuke of the country that had imprisoned them after they hiked over the border from Iraq.
Joshua Fattal and Shane Bauer, both 29, were freed last week under a $1 million bail deal and arrived Wednesday in Oman, greeted by relatives and fellow hiker Sarah Shourd, who was released last year.
Their saga began in July 2009 with what they called a wrong turn into the wrong country. The three were hiking together in Iraq's relatively peaceful Kurdish region along the Iran-Iraq border when Iranian guards detained them. They always maintained their innocence, saying they might have accidentally wandered into Iran.
The two men were convicted of spying last month. Shourd, whom Bauer proposed marriage to while they were imprisoned, was charged but freed before any trial.

RIYADH. SAUDI ARABIA
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, considered a reformer by the standards of his own ultraconservative kingdom, decreed on Sunday that women will for the first time have the right to vote and run in local elections in 2015.
For the nation's women, it is a giant leap forward, though they remain unable to serve as Cabinet ministers, drive or travel abroad without permission from a male guardian.
It is a "Saudi Spring" of sorts.
Saudi women bear the brunt of their nation's deeply conservative values, often finding themselves the target of the unwanted attention of the kingdom's intrusive religious police.

shows, which helps with the actual marching aspect of performance.
"I take time aside from rehearsal to practice and memorize the music, so I can take time during rehearsal to focus on marching." Heaver said. "On game day we get out on the field and see the fans appreciating our music; that's when it's all worthwhile."
Being part of the marching band allows members to try out for the men's basketball pep band. Kyle Stringer, a junior from Haven, plays baritone during marching season and was just recently selected to play bass guitar for the pep band.
Stringer points to the tradition and support of the football team as to why he marches. Coach Turner Gill has even talked to the band and expressed his appreciation.
As a music therapy major, Stringer receives a scholarship, fulfills being a part of a major ensemble requirement and gains experience in his degree program.
"It's fun because you get to be part of a great, longstanding tradition," Stringer said. "I enjoy being able to be part of something bigger than just myself."
Smith, director of athletic bands, enjoys the interaction with the students and how well they are committed to the band.
"These students love KU and work tremendously hard to entertain our fans and represent KU at a high level," he said. "They're here because they love it."

Seeing the comedian interact with students was the show's high point for Maureen Primdahl, a senior from Chicago.
"I really appreciate the Q&A," Primdahl said. "It was really something for the students."
When Glover was asked if he would wear a KU shirt on "Community," he agreed to send a picture and ask the show's costume designer if somebody gave him a shirt before heLawrence. A student ran down the aisle of the auditorium, took the shirt off his back and tossed it on stage.

Innovative developer asks for student help
LAWRENCE

Tony Krsnich, a KU alumnus, stands on the future site of a new art space.
The three dilapidated buildings on the corner of 8th and Pennsylvania streets seem like the last place students would want to be, but soon those buildings will be transformed into a hot spot for students and artists, at least that's what Tony Krsnich, a developer of Landmark Investment Group, hopes.
"He's an innovator," said Barbara Kerr, distinguished professor of psychology and research in education. Krsnich envisions two of the buildings to contain apartments, including nearly 50 affordable rental apartments.
Because the buildings are considered historic, they will not be replaced, but renovated to fit the new use. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2012 with renovations already underway, but Krsnich hopes to get students involved before the project is complete.
Krsnich walked through the buildings explaining his vision for each space with noticeable excitement.
He described an open event space for the third building that could be used for local artists to display their work while having smaller studio spaces for artists to work. Outside Krsnich points out a small space where people have left artwork displayed.
"This project impacts so many areas of education: art, history, business, architecture, psychology," Krsnich said.
Though psychology seems like an unlikely study to be effected by a renovation project, Kerr thinks her students can benefit from learning about the needs involved in making projects like these possible.
Krishn found the educational aspect of the project to be an incentive and has heard positive feedback from professors.
"Beginning with surveys of artists and inventors on Final Fridays, students in psychology and research in education have been working to understand the needs of innovators. Space, financial support and support for career development were the top three needs," Kerr said. "This community space goes a long way toward helping with all three needs."
"This will be a hotbed of innovation, and I want KU students to be a part of it," Kerr said. "From the cutting-edge solar power to the direct garden to grocery space to designing spaces to maximize creativity — this will be an opportunity for students to learn while doing."
KU graduates make up the team working on the project from its finances to the contracting. They welcome the idea of having current students involved and learning through this project.
Krsnich learned about this project from a friend, Mike Hodges, a lawyer who has an interest in investing in renovation projects. He brought Krsnich on as a partner because of his expertise in renovating historic properties.
"This is the most exciting development project to come to Lawrence in a long time." Hodges said.
City commissioners agreed to help with the project by repaving the streets around the area and putting in a parking lot to accommodate the apartment
buildings.
"The city's been really great about redeveloping that area," Hodges said.
With the project located in Lawrence, where many of the people involved have ties to the University, Krsnich and his team want to emphasize the opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience to look at a current project rather than studying one that's already been completed.
"What I'd like to have happen is have professors, like Barb, calling me from every school at the University," Krsnich said.

Nudity protest takes to streets of San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO — Hanging out on a street corner has taken on new meaning in San Francisco.
Several dozen men and at least one woman took part in a naked protest Saturday in an area of the Castro District neighborhood that has become known for its nude visitors. Several carried signs that read, "Nudity is Not a Crime" and "Get Your Hate Off My Body," as they milled around, undeterred by the brisk weather and light mist.
PALM BAY, Fla. — A Florida couple
San Francisco generally allows public nudity, but a city supervisor has proposed regulating the practice. Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would require the clothing-averse to cover up in restaurants. It would also require nudists to put a cloth or other barrier under their bottoms if they take a seat in public.
Mitch Hightower, the organizer of the so-called "nude-in," said it was not intended as a protest against the proposal. The goal, Hightower said, was to promote acceptance of the human body no matter what shape or form it comes in.
The event, which had been scheduled before Wiener's proposal was announced, was part of the unofficial celebrations leading up to the annual Folsom Street Fair, billed as the world's largest leather and fetish event.
"The people out here believe there is nothing indecent or offensive about the human body," he said.

BAY MINETTE, Ala. — Authorities say non-violent offenders in southern Alabama will have a new choice: Go to jail or go to church every Sunday for a year.
The skunks tunneled through walls, gnawing on kitchen cabinets and oven wires inside their Palm Bav home.
Stephanie Palieri says five skunks walked through the kitchen recently while she was enjoying her coffee.
WKRG-TV reports that Operation Restore Our Community begins next week.
If offenders select church, they'll be allowed to pick the place of worship but must check in weekly with the pastor and police.

Soap fans upset with new show
On Monday, "The Chew" arrives, and the welcome could be chilly. The food-themed talk show puts on a happy face about its prospects, but soap fans threaten to shun any replacement for "AMC" and, in January, the all-anceceled "One Life to Live." (A plan to move both shows online is still in the preliminary phase.)
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"We hope that they will enjoy our show," Gordon Elliott, executive producer of "The Chew," said when asked about "All My Children" fans' disappointment. "We were asked to come and join the daytime lineup because daytime tastes have changed.
though the cast are their friends," Kelly said. "What we can (do is) welcome viewers to hang out in the kitchen with us. We can't be soap operas to you, but we can be a group of people that you might want to hang out with."
In addition to Batali and Symon, who are "Iron Chefs" on the Food Network, "The Chew" also recruited fan-favorite Hall from Bravo's "Top Chef". Describing herself as "a recovering caterer", Hall promises that "The Chew" will feature plenty of cooking, "pulling somebody from the audience to actually cook with us."
Kelly is best known as a fashion stylist on TLCs "What Not to Wear," but before that he was a journalist who wrote about topics including food. He's also a passionate home cook who loves to throw dinner parties, he said.
She hopes much of the cooking will speak to busy people like herself.

Anti-hazing initiatives require deeper efforts
National Hazing Prevention Week has an increased meaning at University of Kansas. Last week, the University hosted events to promote anti-hazing. By bringing in notable anti-hazing speaker Don McPherson and organizing a week's worth of activities, the University has shown a commitment to combat hazing on campus.
Within the past two years, two major incidents involving alcohol abuse and hazing have cast a dark shadow over the student body.
Freshman Matt Fritzie was paralyzed after jumping into a temporary pool during Phi Gamma Delta's "FJII Island" party last
year. After the University and the national Phi Gamma Delta organization conducted investigations, the fraternity was suspended. Fritzie's lawsuit against the fraternity included allegations that the fraternity didn't protect pledges, including Fritzie, from hazing.
Jason Wren, a 2009 freshman who lived at Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was found dead in the fraternity's house two years ago. According to Kansan reports, he drank margaritas, beer, wine and whiskey that night, leading to a blood alcohol level of 362. In both cases, the Greek organizations tolerated a culture of alcohol abuse and underage
drinking.
But are these incidents really hazing? According to the University's policy, "Hazing includes, but is not limited to, any action, activity or situation which recklessly, negligently or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health, welfare or safety of a person, creates excessive fatigue, mental or physical discomfort, exposes a person to extreme embarrassment or ridicule, involves personal servitude or substantially interferes with the academic requirements or responsibilities of a student." The Interfraternity Council, National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations.
National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Panhellenic Association filed similar policies.
Simply tolerating alcohol abuse is hazing.
But it isn't something that a policy can completely fix. All fraternities, sororities and athletic organizations need to start pushing hazing traditions out of existence.
Some of these organizations got involved with anti-hazing activities last week. Those that encouraged members to sign the University's pledge, including Theta Chi, Sigma Delta Tau and Zeta Beta Tau, showed commitment to hazing awareness. More fraternities and sororites should
make it a requirement to sign an anti-hazing pledge. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is continuing its Jason Wren initiative to combat alcohol abuse.
Hazing is a serious problem, and it requires a culture of zero tolerance to fix.
but this isn't where it stops. Hazing kills students. The organizations need to instill personal responsibility when new members are initiated. The duty falls on each upperclassman to keep this in mind when conducting recruitment events.

ECONOMY
America could use a wealth tax
Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock since the Reagan administration knows that America is in a hefty amount of debt. For the Patrick Stars among us, you can view a live stream of the debt increase at usdebtclock.com, but prepare to be depressed as you watch the federal deficit approach $15 trillion. The website also shows figures such as tax revenue and gross domestic product. One of the most interesting, however, is the debt per taxpayer, which happens to be around $131,000 — considerably more than most people make in a year.
Many people are already aware of thoughts and attitudes surrounding the national debt. I hope everyone reading this can agree that something needs to be done to resolve the issue. Ideas presented include increasing
revenue through tax hikes for the general population and decreasing expenditures through reducing social security and other social welfare programs.
It's easy to see, however, that the pendulum has to swing both ways. Neither tax increases nor expenditure cuts will solve the problem on its own. To ensure that future generations (including our own) are not plagued by a dark cloud of debt looming over their heads, some things need to change. At the current rate, we won't just have student loans to pay back, but the debts of our country as well. Is this hitting closer to home college students?
Now, before we get too critical of our country, it's important to note that we are not alone in debt. Many countries around the world have been experiencing

financial deficits in recent years. Greece has seen rioting and protest in response to its unpaid debts, and economically burdened Great Britain has seen civil unrest in recent months. America hasn't seen rioting yet, but that doesn't mean that people aren't speaking out in response to the national deficit. Warren Buffett, one of America's wealthiest citizens, announced that wealthy individuals have been "coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress."
This statement seems to have been foreshadowing, as rich individuals from other countries have since been stepping forward to contribute to their governments to ease financial strain. In an article recently published in the Guardian, Helen Pidd reveals that French and Italian millionaires and billionaires have already made excessive contributions to their respective governments, and that a group of extremely wealthy Germans has volunteered for a five percent "wealth tax" to contribute more of their money to public debt.
Whether Warren Buffett intended to, he seems to have accelerated a movement of generous aristocrats around the world. The issue is that millionaires and billionaires in America seem to have a different sense
of allegiance. They have more money than they need by a long shot, but still spend on lobbyists and tax lawyers to avoid higher taxes on their fortunes.
As one small step in the solution to America's debt problem, a wealth tax could raise billions of dollars in revenue for the federal government. Blanket tax hikes can be devastating for those living paycheck to paycheck, but a wealth tax could help ease strain on the government and its citizens. It is true that the majority of wealthy people have earned their fortunes and deserve to enjoy their financial success. However, as Uncle Ben famously told a young and frightened Spiderman: "With great power comes great responsibility."

Netflix split not promising for users
"Companies rarely die from moving too fast, and they frequently die from moving too slowly."
Those words were from Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, in a blog post directed to subscribers of the movie distributing company who were angry over recent increases in pricing. He then described a change to their business model, which made everyone mad at him all over again. The tangible DVD-by-mail service and the online streaming service are now separate entities, with separate prices. The streaming portion is still to be named "Netflix," but the red envelopes that come to your mailbox now will come through "Qwikster." I assume because they want to annoy me on the same level as Qwest and Krispy Kreme.
Javod Kilgore
jkilgore@kansan.com
A subscriber will have to update queues and ratings on two different websites individually, Netflix.com and Qwikstar. com, and will be sent two different bills. What was once two services provided by one place inexpeniously and conveniently, is now one company pretending to be two and charging more for both services. The main effect of which, as far as I can tell, is being annoying as all hell to the consumer.
As mentioned in the Washington Times, a letter sent to shareholders earlier this week said, "With the rapid adoption of streaming, DVD shipments for Netflix have likely peaked." It is clear Hastings believes streaming is the future of our home entertainment, which is likely true but Netflix doesn't have divine assurance that it is the business to take us there. If it forces this progression too fast and alienates its audience, it might not make it itself. While going full speed ahead on one front, it seems to be leaving tangible DVDs behind, something that I'd never like to see.
I can stand to watch TV shows in what Netflix pretends to be HD, but IId never watch a Stanley Kubrick or Darren Aronofsky film on it. If I did, I wouldn't feel like I had really seen the film. I expect there are a number of people who care about the picture and sound quality in their home.
as HDTVs and expensive home entertainment centers are becoming more common. Until technology improves to the point where I can stream in something better than YouTube quality I won't be satisfied in this all-streaming world.
The real problem might be that some of us consider ourselves fans of Netflix, not just customers. That could be why the backlash has been so great. I know when I started my account in 2007 I felt I was part of something cool, that I was contributing to a progressive start-up. It was probably a dumb thought then and is ludicrous now, as they dominate their market with over 24 million subscribers, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Because they started out competing against the giant that was Blockbuster, many people needed these price jumps and this consumer disregard to realize David had become Goliath. It feels a little like we were betrayed by a team we rooted for, but Hastings does acknowledge, "It is possible we are moving too fast." The technology around them might not be ready for this push, and maybe neither are the people.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am writing to respond to the article GOP Works to Detriment of Country, by Mr. Brinker.
Democrats don't play transparent
Working together is what America needs, not the oneside blame game Mr. Brinker suggests in a polarizing fashion. America has waited patiently the past three years, and all we have seen is a partisan Democratic agenda forced through the legislature and very little progress made on the true issues our nation faces.
Truthfully, the Democrats have "stonewalled" most Republican legislation. Republicans proposed the Healthcare Choice Act before Obama told Congress to pass Obamacare and read the bill later. Not even our former Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, now Secretary of Health and Human Services, read the bill, and the Healthcare Choice Act was never even given meaningful consideration by Washington Democrats.
which contained significant compromises, were tossed aside without any consideration.
The Republicans proposed a number of bills regarding the budget and the national debt, but still the debt has increased to $14 trillion. Again, these genuine proposals, many of
Now Obama wants to change American tax structure to fund yet another "project," and he calls this project the American Jobs Act. Even though the GOP has been urging tax reform and new legislation to promote jobs for some time now, and has a wealth of research and knowledge on the topic the current administration is, once again, going forward with a plan which completely disregards the insights of Republican legislators.
Some of the brightest minds in the world are working in DC to make our country better, and it is unfortunate that so many of our representatives are unwilling to take advantage of the knowledge and experience their colleagues can provide.
Many jest that the Republican Party is the party of "no," but Democrats have blatantly pushed through legislation without bi-partisan aid or transparency.

Game to remember
Mario Chalmers, guard
Paul Pierce, forward
These two have always been known for hitting big shots. Saturday's finish did nothing but affirm that belief, Pierce, like most players on Saturday, started off the day slowly. His first shot was blocked by Darrell "Shady" Arthur and he finished with 16 points — a lower number than most expected for him. Just as he has done throughout his career with the Boston Celtics, Pierce knocked down the clutch shot. Chalmers had a few fancy plays against some seasoned veterans who hadn't seen that kind of speed in years. But like Pierce, it was his final shot that fans will savor.

Game to forget
This game isn't really one to forget for anyone, including Kellogg. And in all fairness, he is 48 years old and had to go up against Christian Moody, who is dubbed "the greatest walk-on of all time," on Saturday. But if we have to be picky, Kellogg missed all four of his shot attempts and was the only player other than Darnell Valentine (who didn't attempt a shot) who didn't score. His signature left three-point shot wasn't there, as he missed three of his shots from behind the arc. However, a few missed shots in an exhibition can't take away from this legend's legacy at Kansas

Number of points Mario Chalmers had in his first game back in the Fieldhouse. The Miami Heat guard showed fans why he's considered one of the school's best perimeter defenders, grabbing five steals in 26 minutes. He also added 10 assists.
Number of rebounds Cole Aldrich had in his return. In a game full of deep threes and missed alley-oops, Aldrich was there to pick up the garbage, leading both teams in rebounds. No other player was in double digits.
Number of points Ryan Robertson surprised the crowd with Robertson didn't exactly headline the Legends of the Phog advertisements, but the former high school all-American had 75 percent shooting. It was the fifth-highest total for both rosters.
100% Julian Wright's shooting percentage. Wright was a perfect 7-for-7 in his 18 minutes of action, mostly bringing the crowd to its feet with some of the best dunks of the night.

Number of players to finish with double-doubles — that is,
double digits in two different categories. Mario Chalmers (17
points, 10 assists), Cole Aldrich (14 points, 19 rebounds) and
Nick Collison (14 points, 10 rebounds) all accomplished the
feat Saturday.

Plays of the Games
with less than 30 seconds to play and the game tied, Paul Pierce dribbled down the court, taking his time with Brandon Rush guarding the ball. The crowd rose to its feet while the NBA champ waited at the top of the key. He took another dribble then slightly faded away, releasing a three-pointer to take the lead with Rush's hand in his face and five seconds remaining, sending the 16,300 fans in attendance into euphoria.
It didn't end there. After a quick timeout, the crowd began chanting "Mario! Mario!" as Chalmers received the in-bounds pass at halfcourt. It seemed as if he knew exactly where he was going with the ball: top of the key but slightly to the right, similar to his championship-tying three-pointer against Memphis in 2008. Of course he made it this time as well. It was an all too familiar scene for Jayhawk fans.

Game helps charity, recruiting
PAGE 7
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
For a number of reasons, Saturday's Legends of the Phog alumni game was something Kansas fans won't see very often. Stars of past generations like Darnell Valentine and Ron Kellogg were joined by the likes of Mario Chalmers and Paul Pierce, with coaching legends 'Ted Owens and Larry Brown leading the teams.
The pre-game atmosphere was that of a late February showdown with Kansas State or Missouri, and the roughly two-hour contest ratcheted up the noise with highlight dunks, video montages and speeches from former players.
It was brought to a climax in the waning seconds following the back-to-back three-pointers by Pierce and Chalmers to end the game in a 111-111 tie.
PART OF PROCEEDS TO BE DONATED IN DOUGHERTY FAMILY NAME
Neil Dougherty, an assistant coach at Kansas for seven seasons under Roy Williams, died in July while jogging in Indianapolis. Members of Dougherty's family were honored with a jersey at center court during the game, and Kansas Athletics announced it will donate a portion of Saturday's profits to charities of the family's choice.
He was joined by fellow 2012 recruit Ioannis Papapetrou, a 6-foot-7 forward from the Florida Air Academy in Melbourne, Fla. They were also joined by the current No. 1 player in the class of 2013, Julius Randle, a 6-foot-8 forward from Plano, Texas.
During the game, Pierce took time to address the Allen Fieldhouse crowd on his feelings for Dougherty and his family. Obviously choked up, he called Dougherty a father figure. Deciding to attend school in Kansas wasn't always an easy decision for Pierce, a native of Inglewood, Cal.
In accordance with NCAA rules, coaches aren't allowed to talk about any recruits specifically, but Self said he couldn't imagine they all didn't have a great experience Saturday.
"It was tough leaving my mother," Pierce said after the game. "But him and coach Williams made me feel
comfortable leaving home and going 1000 miles to play basketball.
Pierce called Dougherty a "player's coach" and was emotional during and after the game when discussing his former coach. Dougherty left behind a wife and three children.
Committed recruits Zach Peters, a forward in the 2013 class, and Perry Ellis, forward in the class of 2012, were also in attendance.
EFFECT ON RECRUITING
"When you recruit really good guys, the competition is stiff." Self said after the game. "We may not get them, but I guarantee you we'll give them something to think about."
Edited by Laura Nightengale
Saturday's festivities had a clear effect on nearly everyone in attendance. Bill Self and the coaching staff took advantage of the star-studded event and invited a handful of high recruits to sit behind the bench with their families.
According to scout.com, that list included three undecided players, two in the class of 2012 and one in the class of 2013. Andrew White, a 6-foot-6 senior guard at the Miller School in Charlottesville, Va., has offers from a list of schools. However Kansas was his first official visit.

Longhorns stampede past Jayhawks

The volleyball team was swept for the first time this season on Saturday against the eighth-ranked Long-horns.

larmoc
100%
tionally ranked conference op nent
Mayfield
The Jayhawks (11-2) lost in
three straight sets, 20-25, 21-25,
17-25.
"We felt like we were pretty well prepared, but we didn't take care of some of the basic fundamentals at the net," coach Ray Bechard said.
Despite being swept, the Jayhawks had strong individual performances from senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield and sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc. Mayfield led all players on the court with 14 kills while Jarmoc led all players with four blocks.
While individual performances help, Mayfield said balancing the workload is just as important to the team's overall success.
"If you have just one player, it's easy for the defense to step up
and stop that player," Mayfield said. "You have to be balanced on attacking and setting different players."
Junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree finished with three kills and a .143 attack percentage. Tolefree is familiar with stand-out individual performances, having been named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 19. She said the performances by Mayfield and Jarmoc give the team hope that all is not lost.
"That gives us some confidence that we're not completely breaking down," Tolefree said. "But they can't do it by themselves. We've got to step up and help them to create some options so they don't always have
the same pressure on them."
When a team continues to lean on one player like the Jayhawks did with Mayfield on Saturday, Bechard said it can create predictability.
"Every team has their tendencies," Bechard said. "We understand Allison will get her fair share of swing attempts, but the more we can diversify, the better we'll be."
The team was haunted by service errors in the three sets, recording three in the first set and eight total. Bechard said the most discouraging part of the errors were that they were into the net and not out of bounds.
"It's just a lack of concentration in my opinion," Bechard said. "You have full control over that
skill, like shooting a free throw. It's mind over matter in that situation."
The Jayhawks return to action at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 28 against No. 16 Iowa State. The contest will be the first home game for the team in more than three weeks.
"Everyone comes out with a little more fire at home," Mayfield said. "It's our house, and we don't want someone to come in and beat us on our home court. Everyone plays with a little more drive and motivation to get the win at home."

Kansas assesses issues, prepares for Texas Tech

"Forty for 44 is very impressive against anybody," freshman safety Keeton Terry said.
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson said he is confident the issues will be corrected in time
for the Texas Tech game this Saturday.

than three yards once on first down. In that same time span, Georgia Tech's lead increased by 28 points.
In the first half of that same game, Kansas averaged more than five yards a play on first down. The offense had 17 points at halftime, and the team was only down seven.
Johnson said the 66-24 loss was a wake-up call for a team that might have been too happy too early in the season.
"We might have gotten a little unfocused," Johnson said. "It's a humbling experience. You can only move from it and move on."
"We didn't watch the tape," Terry said. "We just threw it out the window, knowing that we weren't going to play another team with the triple option in our league."
But that doesn't mean Kansas is forgetting what happened.
FIRST DOWN WOES
A large chunk of Kansas' struggles on first down came with the Jayhawks using the Wildcat formation which had been successful in the first two games. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long gave credit to the Yellow Jackets for stopping it.
In a run-heavy offense, like the one Kansas has used this season, first down becomes even more of a priority than normal. When you rely on the run, you try to get yourself in short-yardage situations on third down.
"They're a good defensive football team," Long said. "We just sputtered in the third quarter. It was the only lapse we've had offensively all year."
The Jayhawks had done a great job of that in their first five halves this season. Their sixth half — the second half against Georgia Tech — was a different story.

about how one of college basketball's blue bloods was not good enough for entry into a power conference. For weeks Kansas fans had to look at the future of their beloved basketball program with the daunting task of trying to attract recruits without being attached to a big name conference.
The Legends of the Phog game on Saturday night changed dread into joy, as decades of former players reminded the fans of the greatness and power of college athletics. Even from where I'm studying abroad in France, I felt a desire to be with my friends in Allen Fieldhouse watching the legends I never saw play in person.
The exhibition summed up what makes Jayhawk basketball incredible and almost indescribable. The history was there. The tradition was there. The greatness was there The competitiveness was there, and so was the joy.
The game was not about a bunch of millionaire athletes playing a game, it was about watching great athletes play the game they love and enjoy themselves with the one connection they all share: their alma mater. The game was not about tooting our own horn, it was about connecting Kansas' storied past with the present.
Of course there will be a lot of talk about Mario Chalmers' last second three — again — to tie the game 111-111, as it was really the most fitting way for the game to end. But
By Max Lush mlush@kansan.com
I think at the core of it, the event reminded the fans, players, and coaches alike just how incredible of a luxury it is to be a part of the crimson and the blue.
When it comes down to it, the game displayed the biggest difference between the pros and college ball. Egos were not at the forefront; they played for the name on the front of the blue and white jerseys. While star college athletes are always welcome, college sports are about cheering for your university.
With the amount of success garnered from the event, it's possible that similar events could be held even after the NBA lockout is resolved. It's not only great for the fans to see their favorite players play on James Naismith Court again, but judging from the players' reactions, they loved the opportunity to play in front of the people who made their college years so special.

No other school celebrates its history and tradition while also living in the present. After all, like blue team coach Larry Brown famously said, "There's no better place to coach. There's no better place to go to school. There's no better place to play."
I hope that's not lost in conference realignment.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2013
Game to remember for fans
Saturday's Legends of The Phog game seemed too good to be true, and it might have been even better than that. It was what every college basketball fan wants to see but never can: the big play in April take place at home.
By Blake Schuster.

CHECK OUT THE TIMELAPSE
"I think when you play here or coach here it doesn't get any better than this," former KU coach Larry Brown said. "This family here is remarkable. It's a place that you'll never forget."
By the time Paul Pierce took the ball up the court with a five-second difference between the game clock and shot clock, two things were very clear: He's got this shot, and Mario Chalmers has the next one.
It may not have been the same stage, but, by the sound of it, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. It was an unusual energy powering the fieldhouse.

Over and over players and coaches said, "Only in Kansas could they pull off something like this," and maybe that's the case. Where else can you bring together such a diverse group of stars and see the family reunion-type aura engulf them?
By the time it was over, everyone in the building had the same thought. "Did that just happen?"
Instead of the normal hunger for victory from the crowd, the emotion on Saturday was raw excitement. It's a tribute to the building's engineers that the roof didn't blow off the old barn at the end.
On that fateful night in 2008, KU fans wanted to be at Allen Fieldhouse chanting Mario's name and watching history unfold on their home court. They got their wish on Saturday.
Paul Pierce (1995-98) shoots a three-pointer as the shot clock approaches zero. He points to the crowd after hitting the buzzer-beating shot in the second half.

"No matter who is coaching here you can not say you're the best coach," coach Bill Self said. "Dr. Allen coached here. And no matter who is playing here, they're not going to be the best player; Wilt played here. You are a part of something much bigger than yourself."
Truthfully, a tie was the only way the game could have ended. Other than the fact that no Jayhawk should lose at Allen Fieldhouse, no one was rooting against anyone.
When fans look back at this game, it will not make a difference who won or lost. Fans won't remember the awkward silence right after tipoff, when no one knew who to root for. What they will remember is that for 40 minutes, Jayhawk nation saw its idols on James Naismith Court reminding us all just how truly magnificent the history at Kansas is.
When Pierce took the ball up court on the blue team's last possession, the crowd wanted him to make it. Thirty seconds later, they were cheering for Chalmers, a member of the white team, to do the same.

Every fan in Allen Fieldhouse had seen something like this before.
Paul Pierce dribbed slowly at the top of the key, waited until just before the shot clock expired, then sunk a three-point shot with five seconds left.
"Mario ... Mario ... Mario ..."
That's when fans started chanting another name.
Mario Chalmers, the same hero who hit the miracle shot against Memphis in the 2008 title game, followed Pierce with a three-pointer of his own at the final buzzer.
There was no overtime, just a 111-111 tie — an ideal ending to the Legends of the Phog exhibition game on Saturday afternoon at the fieldhouse.
"It was just like his championship shot," Pierce said. "And everyone got a replay of it tonight."
For most of the game, there were more laughs than defensive stops and more air balls than swishes. That suited the game just fine. Simply having these guys back in the field-house was all any fan could have asked for.
But the ending was simply cinematic.
Even after badly missing a few shots earlier in the game and losing control of the ball with six seconds left on the shot clock, everyone in the building knew that Pierce would hit the shot. And so did he.
"If you don't believe that you're going to hit it," Pierce said. "Then why be out there?"
When Chalmers followed with yet another one of his dramatic shots to add to Kansas basketball folklore, the field-house erupted.
"Yeah I heard it," Chalmers said of the fans chanting his name before the final shot. "It's something that I've done before."

WOMEN'S SOCCER
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarty@kansan.com
After enduring another blow-out loss on Friday, the soccer team wrapped up its non-conference schedule against Oral Roberts on Sunday with a morale-boosting 6-1 victory.
"I think it gives us a lot of redemption," sophomore defender Madi Hillis said. "The past couple games have been a little bit frustrating, but we got a good win and came out here and tried to score a lot of goals."
Kansas' six goals were the most the team scored in a game since Oct. 19, 2008, against Francis Marion.
Putting together early offensive consistency for 90 minutes was a crucial point for the Jayhawks.
With Kansas in control for the whole contest, it gave many of its substitute players the opportunity to log minutes and contribute off the bench. Although the Jayhawks scored three goals in the first 17 minutes, coach Mark Francis was unhappy with the bench's effort at the end of the first half.
"When we scored the third goal I thought we backed off a little bit." Francis said. "Basically at halftime I told them if they
didn't score three goals we were training tomorrow. So I think that motivated them a little bit. "
Berry's goal in the 16th minute was a well-judged, left-footed strike that glided by the right side of ORU's goalkeeper Helen Erb.
r
Junior midfielder Whitney Berry continues to show her leadership on the field, posting a goal and an assist.
"It gives us that little boost that we needed to get back on somewhat of a winning streak and hopefully get those two big losses behind us." Berry said.
Freshman forward Ingrid Vidal also scored two goals in the game. Vidal is approaching the top-scorer mark in the conference with eight goals to her credit.
The other notable goal came in the 68th minute when freshman forward Jamie Fletcher jugged the ball three times in the air around Oral Roberts' Amanda Wheeler and then knocked home the ball on the fourth touch before it hit the ground.
Berry realized that this game was important to continue executing offensively, but also to try to help the overall attitude.
Considering the Jayhawks
gave up 12 goals in their previous two games, playing well on the defensive end was essential. Kansas only allowed five shots the entire match.
"There wasn't that many times where they put us under pressure and really tested us in the back, but we did a good job when we had the ball in the back." Francis said.
With the conference play going into full swing next weekend,achieving this win was the momentum the Jayhawks might need to be competitive in the Big 12.

"We've just got to continue to be confident and I think right now when you lose two games like that people start doubting themselves a little bit." Francis said. "So I think today was good for their confidence."

BIG 12
Interim commissioner addresses uncertainty
The Big. 12 interim commissioner, Chuck Neinas, held a media conference at 5 p.m. Friday to address the future of the conference.
Neinas will be filling in for former commissioner Dan Beebe, who stepped down Sept. 22.
Neinas thinks Missouri will stay Texas ARM and the Southeastern Conference made it official on Sunday as it will join the SEC on July 1, 2012.
"The Missouri chancellor told me he has some new curators who want to discuss things." Neinas said. "That's where some of the uncertainty might come from. In the end, I think it will be resolved."
Neinas answered a variety of questions, on topics such as expansion and the conference's image.
When asked what issues need to be corrected, Neinas said trust between the member schools is crucial. He said the conference's image needs to be polished.
"They've hired me to be a commissioner and I'll act like a commissioner," Neinas said. "If you look at my record, I'm not afraid to make decisions. They can always fire me."
As for expansions, Neinas said he, at the moment, does not know what he or the conference will do.
He will visit the remaining schools to discuss the conference's issues with the presidents and chancellors.
As for any elongated stay at commissioner, Neinas has no interest.
"I am not a candidate in any way shape or form on a permanent basis," Neinas said. "I will offer my services to assist in the search."

EDITOR'S NOTE
Returning even better during homecoming
By Emily Glover
eglover@kansan.com
Growing up. I was basically a geographical orphan. I lived a few years in Michigan, a few years in Ohio and a few years in Nebraska.
Ironically, the one place that actually felt like "home" was one of the few places I never lived: Lawrence.
A few times every year, my family made a big trip to Lawrence to visit my grandfather or see my dad's old friends. To me, no visit was complete without a trip to the University of Kansas campus.
"I'm going to go here someday" I told anyone who would listen.
In 2008, as I entered my freshman year at the University, that dream came true. Now, three crazy years later, it is hard for me to believe my time as a KU student is coming to an end. I must admit, though, that I am excited about experiencing homecoming as an alumna.
I am already looking forward to tailgating with a flat-screen TV, similar to the one Salman talks about on page five. I also plan on carrying on
some treasured KU traditions, although it's weird to think some of our rituals may fade away. Then again, it would also be strange if we still celebrated Hobo Day, which KU students in the 1920s did for Homecoming Week. Read more about that and other failed traditions in Angela's story on page four.
Although I don't know where I'll go from here, one thing is for sure: Traveling back to Lawrence will always be a "homecoming" for me. It's just even better during Homecoming Week.

The Homecoming Steering Committee, which is made up of 16 students and school administrators, planned the events for this year's Homecoming Week.
Although the game isn't until Saturday, Homecoming Week festivities kick off on Sept. 25. The week ends with the KU vs. Texas Tech football game at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 1.

Close to 20 events are occurring throughout the week. One of the biggest is "Jayhawk Jingles" on Sept. 28 from 6-8 p.m., where student groups perform songs and skits while local vendors provide free samples. The Homecoming Parade, which will go down Jayhawk Boulevard, occurs three hours before the football game kickoff on Oct. 1.

This year's theme is "From Lawrence With Love." It was chosen because it celebrates the Lawrence community. Kreigh said Lawrence plays a large role in making the KU experience unique.

Failed traditions
ANGELA HAWKINS editor@kansan.com
PHOTOS COURTESY SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY
As this is the University's 99th homecoming celebration, many traditions have developed in time. Erin Rossiter, a senior from Omaha, Nebr., said she thinks this is part of what makes the University great. "KU is more than just a place where people teach and go to school," Rossiter said. "The traditions stay alive because without them wed just be any other school." However, for better or worse, some traditions have faded to oblivion.
Here's a look back at some of the University's failed homecoming traditions

Doc Yak's Medicine Show
Back in the 1940s, Homecoming Week featured an event called "Doc Yak's Medicine Show." For it, an actor dressed as an old-fashioned doctor handed out sugar pills that he claimed would boost the school spirit in KU students and ensure a win in the homecoming football game.
Hobo Dav
In 1922 the first annual Hobo Day was celebrated. For it, students dressed in clothes resembling those of a hobo. Students also brought along old clothes to sell or exchange. In a 1928 Hobo Days celebration, students in two vegetable trucks on campus had a vegetable fight.
The event was most popular in the 1920s and 1930s, but eventually faded away.
Concerts in the Fieldhouse
There used to be massive concerts in Allen Fieldhouse for students to enjoy the week of the big game. In 1971, Student Union Activities brought Bob Hope to perform in Allen Fieldhouse.

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

These are just a few of the activities that help KU students know it's football season.
With the arrival of homecoming, tailgating provides students yet another oppor-

"Tallgating is a way for fans to unite together before a game," said Jennifer Allee, assistant athletics director for fan experience. "It's a chance for them to come together as Jayhawk fans and show their spirit for their school while celebrating in a fun and safe manner."

Video, enjoys the "at home" atmosphere fans often create at tailgate parties.
"I've seen multiple generators with two flat screen TVs, full on grills, a variety of games, heat lamps and roasting." Lickert said.
Although some fans come to tailgate parties to relax, others come to entertain — and some fans go to great extents to capture the attention of by passers by.
"I saw someone roasting a pig at the game versus Northern Illinois and that is definitely a dedicated tailgate," Allee said.
Those fans, who called themselves the "jayhoggers," roasted the hog at the KU home game on Sept. 10. They were also briefly on the Jumbotron as the "tailgate of the game."
"I'm very impressed with the variety of food that I see and the extent they go to celebrate being a Jayhawk," Lickert said.
Tailgating during the homecoming game especially encourages students to get energized and excited about the game and contributes to the culture of KU football.
"I definitely appreciate the chance to socialize with friends and new folk in an outdoor setting," Renard said. "Occasionally you run into someone you haven't seen in a blue moon, and no matter if you care for the person or not, you still find something to talk and laugh about."

Returning home again
For alumni,homecoming offers chance to see old friends
STELLA LIANG
editor@kansan.com
Homecoming is a tradition that involves both alumni and students. Both groupsplan and participate in it collectively. However, although each group participates in the same week of festivities, their attitudes and emotions are often very different.
Alumni who participate generally have sentimental reasons.
"Homecoming is still a special time for alumni because of the chance to see old friends, visit favorite spots on campus and in Lawrence, and soak up the energy of campus life in the midst of the busy fall months," said Jennifer Jackson Sanner, the senior vice
president of communications for the KU Alumni Association.
Some alumni use this week to reflect upon enjoyable memories from college.
"Obviously nostalgia is a huge factor for alumni," Sanner said. "For students, Homecoming is just one example of the traditional college experience that makes KU so appealing."
For many students, Homecoming is not as emotional. A student attends the game or makes a float simply because it's part of the college experience.
For some students, the college experience includes participating
in some of the activities of sororites and fraternities.
Annual membership: $55 single or $65 joint.
"Im in Gamma Phi Beta so I'm going to be participating in making the float and anything else that my sorority decides to do," said Hanna Curtis, a freshman from Overland Park. "It's fun to get to know everyone since it is such a big school."
Whether someone participates just for fun or for nostalgic reasons, homecoming is enjoyed by many people in both groups.
"It's impossible to determine whether alumni or students enjoy homecoming more," Sanner said. "The tradition is important for many different reasons."

Food, friends and drinks make tailgaiting central to game
Alumni to be given special seating for Homecoming game against Texas Tech
ELISE REUTER editor@kansan.com
Football. Floats. Tailgating.
Homecoming is a week of celebration in the tight-knit University community that brings together fans, both old and new.
Several events have been set in place for returning KU alumni. The tailgate, which takes place three hours before the football game, brings in between 400 and 500 alumni on average.
"Most alumni usually go to the parade or the Alumni Association
Tailgate. They have a tailgate for every game, home and away," said Coordinator of Student Programs Stefani Gerson.
For those interested, food and drinks will be provided at the Adams Alumni Center. Tickets are $10 before the event and $15 on the day.
Alumni will also be provided with special seating at the game on Saturday against Texas Tech.
Other events that are open to both alumni and the public include a $5 pancake breakfast four hours before kickoff and the
homecoming parade on Jayhawk Boulevard, three hours before kickoff.
Although Saturday holds many of the main events, there are many others open to alumni the week before the game.
Stuff the Bus provides an opportunity to reach out to the Lawrence Community, which is one of the central themes of this year's Homecoming, titled "From Lawrence With Love." Canned food donations from the event will be given to the East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity
Corporation, which helps local low-income families.
"Alumni play a huge role in keeping the traditions of KU alive. They bring school spirit they've had since their time at KU. Many alumni can recount Homecoming week from when they were students and enjoy partaking in it as an alumni as well," said Beth O'Neill, a senior from Topeka and homecoming publicity co-chairwoman.

PARADE
SCHOLASTIC CHILDREN'S CENTER
A group of sorority members work on constructing a float for homecoming in 1965. That year's theme was "Hawkers History."
SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY
Students sacrifice sleep for perfect floats
NATALIE PARKER
editor@kansan.com
Before many students even realize that it's Homecoming Week, members of some campus organizations are already hard at work on plans for their floats.
A few weeks before the parade, the Homecoming chairwomen of sororities meet with members from
their partner fraternities. Together, the groups start planning the design of the float and discuss how it will fit the year's homecoming theme. This year, floats will be based on the theme "From Lawrence, With Love."
As a parade chairwoman, Chelsea Stieb, a senior from Sringfield, Mo, helps create the parade line-up and approves float designs submitted by the participating organizations. Because there aren't any rigid guidelines for the theme, Steib said that most floats get approved.
Danielle Fuhrman, a senior from Tulsa, Okla., and a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority homecoming committee, said brainstorming is a large part of the planning process.
"We all just throw out ideas and
decide together what we think would stand out," Fuhrman said. "We don't want to do something that a lot of other groups might do."
Fuhrman also said she appreciates that the theme is open to interpretation, which provides an opportunity for organizations to show their creativity.
the theme kind of open-ended because the floats probably won't be similar," Fuhrman said. "It's interesting to see how people perceive the theme and make it theirs."
After that, Fuhrman said the chairmen and women delegate much of the work based upon the skills people have.
Two committee members with whom Fuhrman is working are
studying architecture, which made them very valuable while sketching the float design.
"We know who's good at building, who's good at designing and just try to get a lot of people involved," said Fuhman.
After plans are drawn, the chairmen and women obtain a trailer, which is usually borrowed. Around the same time, members order supplies, including many colors of "pomps."

Although organizations cannot start working on building the floats until the Monday of Homecoming Week, members make the most out of the time they have. Last year during Homecoming Week, Fuhrman said members from her sorority worked every weeknight before the parade and stayed up until 4 a.m. on Saturday to perfect their float.
“The week is completely dedicated to homecoming,” Fuhrman said. “I won’t skip class, but I’ll be up all night.”
Katelyn Cook, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., saw the parade once before and plans on attending this year.
“It’s amazing that a group of people spend that much time on something,” Cook said. “I think it really shows the sense of unity here at KU.”

Homecoming floats present challenge chance to socialize
JOSH KURELAC editor@kansan.com
For the KU Greek community, Homecoming Week is the culmination of months of planning, working and competing.
Before any festivities begin, both a fraternity and sorority must reach an agreement to work together on a float throughout Homecoming Week. Representatives from houses contact each other to negotiate a possible partnership. Once two houses come into contact, members hold housewide votes to decide whether they can to enter official agreement for the week of Homecoming with a specific fraternity or sorority.
"It's a great way to come together with other houses." said Jessica Mills, a sophomore from Overland Park in Kappa Delta sorority.
"It's a great way to come together with other houses."
Some houses even have people on watch duty at night to make sure their float remains unharmed, because there have been issues with vandalization in the past. On Saturday, after a long week of hard work and preparation, the real fun begins. The day starts with teams putting the finishing touches on their floats to ensure the floats will be in top shape for the parade. Then, starting at the Oread Hotel, the parade of floats travels down Jayhawk Boulevard, giving everyone a chance to see creations that were put together during the past week.
The week begins with the purchase of a trailer to hold the float. Next, supplies are purchased to help build the float. Every night, sorority members go to their partner fraternity house to work on the float, which is typically kept at the fraternity.
JESSICA MILLS
A sophomore from Overland Park
"Everyone knows what everyone else is doing."
Throughout the week, sorority and fraternity members constantly work on the float in an attempt to get a competitive edge on their opponents.
"[The house] is always loud because people are constantly planning and working on the float," said Sean Tokic, a sophomore from in Phi Psi fraternity.
The floats are evaluated by a panel of judges, which is chosen at random but always includes the student body president.
After a winning pair is declared, the tailgating parties for each house pair begin.
"It's a perfect time to talk to alumni and catch up with everyone." Tokic said.
Eventually, most people make their way into the game to enjoy the football game along with other Homecoming festivities. Finally, the house pairs get ready for their social events to cap off the week.
"There's no other week like Homecoming Week," Tokic said.

BAYLOR BEARS
BAYLOR UNIVERSTY
Baylor University claims to have the oldest and largest homecoming parade in the country. Every year, the parade works its way through town and up to the Baylor campus.

Week isn't just for the Greeks
KIRSTEN SELSTAD editor@kansan.com
Every year, sororities and fraternities lead a parade of skillfully crafted floats down Jayhawk Boulevard in tribute to the Kansas greek system. Possibly because of this display, the general perception on campus seems to be that Homecoming at the University is only for those in fraternities and sororites.
However, according to collegeboard.com, only 18 percent of women and 13 percent of men on the KU campus participate in Greek Life.
"I went to the homecoming
O'Neill said that some of the other organizations participating this year are the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Engineering Student Council and the Student Union Association, which is sponsoring magician Mike Super to perform on Tuesday, Sept. 27.
parade last year," said Brandon Peper a sophomore from Jefferson City, Mo. "There weren't any non-Greeks there at all. It was pretty sad."
"Even those who are not involved with anything can still come to free events," said Bryan Do a junior from Wichita and the steering committee campus outreach chairman. "Last year, the non-Greek participants were some of the best I've seen."
Amidst the battle to combat the perception comes a burden to make this year a bigger and better
The students in the Homecoming Steering Committee are striving to change this perception.
"We are hoping this year, being our 99th celebration, will be the biggest one yet," O'Neill said.
"The idea that homecoming is exclusive to Greeks is something we are working hard to combat," said Beth O'Neill a senior from Topeka and publicity cochairwoman of the Homecoming Steering Committee. "Our parade chairs have done a wonderful job reaching out to student organizations across campus about getting involved."

To help more students find a way to get involved, information about student homecoming activities and a list of events can be found on the KU Alumni Association website.
"Everyone should participate in homecoming," Do said. "It's for all to enjoy and is a celebration of the University."

In 1912, the lahaywaks took on the Missouri Tigers in the University's first homecoming game.
In the time since then, thousands of KU students have experienced homecoming at the University. For some,homecoming takes on a whole new meaning when they have alumni status.
Rich and Judy Billings graduated from the University in 1957, but have attended every single homecoming game since then. In 2007, this won them the University's first "Spirit of 912" award, which has since honored two other couples' dedication to the University.
Throughout their years of attending homecoming, the Billings' have seen many changes.
"It used to be a much bigger celebration, with more floats, awards and prizes," said Rich.
Yet, the couple keeps coming back because they love to see the parade and the game.
"It is like a reunion," Rich said.
"As we moved to Colorado, we have little opportunity to see our friends, so homecoming is a chance to see everyone."
Judy said she enjoyed returning to see new students who are, "a wonderful group of people to carry on the tradition of KU"
Although the Billings' have attended dozens of homecoming
games, their son Jim, a 1981 KU graduate, said homecoming is not as significant to him.
Even current some KU students say that homecoming is not that important to them. Jerrica Washburn, a sophomore from Wichita, said she does not get involved in Homecoming. Nonetheless, she said it will be more important to her in the furure.
"Not many of our friends were able to make it back for Homecoming because of their own families," lim said.
"I do want to come back for homecoming after I'm finished at KU." Washburn said.

Homecoming rituals evolve throughout the years
his first words
Homecoming in Lawrence has been a highly regarded tradition since it began with a 1912 football game against the Missouri Tigers. In time, many traditions have developed.
For instance, the unique Jayhawk themes were not a part of homecoming festivities until 1954 when the homecoming steering committee came up with its first theme: Show Your Spirit. Even then, the themes were nothing more than lawn decorations at fraternities, sororities and residence halls. Since that time, it has become common to see Lawrence business windows covered in homecoming pictures and slogans. Local stores also get on-board with homecoming-related merchandise, such as "victory tags," which are shirts with slogans such as "Beat Nebraska."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK
the student voice since 1904
Joy Bancroft, a graduate student in the English department from Lawrence, doesn't recommend doing it her way. She decided to apply to graduate school two weeks before the application deadline. After taking time off while working on her undergraduate degree, she wanted to make up for lost time.
ACADEMICS
To eliminate this kind of undue stress, students planning on furthering their education may want to start thinking about next fall now and make a plan.
"I completed 48 credit hours in 11 months and only had three weeks off between the end of my undergraduate work and the beginning of my graduate work," she said.
Plan ahead for grad school applications
Applying for graduate school is an individual process, said Melissa Needham, a graduate coach at the University Career Center. Although there are many resources for students, such as the Career Center at the Burge Union and the Writing Center at Anshutz Library, getting organized and prepared for grad school rests on the student.
D. M. SCOTT dscott@kansan.com
"Graduate school admission is a paperwork-heavy process," Needham said. "The first huge battle is making sure the school gets everything."
To win this battle, students should have a plan and set deadlines. The first step includes doing homework on prospective programs and narrowing the field to the program best for them.
They shouldn't get hung up on one particular program. They should spread their applications around, while also being mindful of application costs.
"One thing you want to be careful of is not putting all your eggs in one basket," said Sara Clayton, assistant director at the University Career Center.
"If you are in the process of applying for grad schools, try to find out what the schools value most in their candidates." Bancroft said.
After that, it's more homework.
"Unfortunately, for a lot of these questions, there's no one answer. It really does vary from program to program and from student to student," Needham said.
"I think the hardest part is that you really can't be prepared mentally and emotionally for the experience." Bancroft said. "I know I was completely unprepared for the level of thinking and understanding that is a part of daily life in a graduate degree. It's just really stressful and a complete assassin of any self-esteem you may have possessed."
She suggests paying close attention to the personal statement. Here students can distinguish themselves. It's a good idea to pick out something specific in the program the perspective student likes — the reason why the student is applying to that program.
Bancroft suggests once students are accepted they should read books and articles about the field of interest in which they will be studying.
She now wants to pursue a doctoral degree and is beginning the process all over again. This time, she is more prepared.
"I think I'm just taking my Ph.D. work much more seriously, which is a bit of a given. I chose to do my master's a bit compulsively and did not really research or apply to many institutions," she said.
The University offers useful resources to students applying to grad programs. The Writing Center can help polish a student's resume and answer questions about punctuation, and the career

Students spend most of the day on campus, but where do they go at night? Of all the ways students can choose to spend their evenings, some bars provide students with an enjoyable atmosphere and affordable drink prices that set them apart from the rest.
THE HAWK
The Jayhawk Cafe, more commonly known as The Hawk, has been a mainstay of the Lawrence bar scene for decades, especially among students who like the reasonably priced drinks and close-to-campus location.
The Hawk offers several different atmospheres in one place, said Tara Cisneros, a freshman from Ft. Worth, Texas. The main bar is traditional, but the martini room is more formal and the boom boom room takes The Hawk from college bar to dance club, she adds.
"I like that it has the different rooms," said Tara Cisneros. She normally goes on Wednesdays for the dollar night specials and says
she likes the boom boom room because she enjoys dancing. But not every kid is for
But not everybody is a fan.
QUINTON'S
"Its just not very well maintained," said Chris Lyons, a junior from Lawrence. He said he prefers to buy his own beer and drink with friends at home.
Quinton's is a popular choice on Tuesdays but a student favorite for weekends, too.
"Specifically for Tuesdays, the idea for us is to offer on Tuesdays what everybody else offers on the weekend," said manager Jamaki Blackburn. "We offer a weekend environment people actually want to be a part of."
That appeal is not restricted to customers. Employees also enjoy spending time at the bar and deli.
"We keep a very fun, light atmosphere," said Blackburn. "When you have 60 or 70 employees and they want to hang out, that helps a lot."
A deli that serves soups and sandwiches during the day, Quinton's turns into a full-fledged bar at 10 p.m., when patrons need a 21 or
over ID to get in.
Although the restaurant area serves as the main bar, two outdoor patio areas with a bar allow people to drink and smoke outside. Upstairs, in a dimly lit room, black couches, gauzy white curtains and small chandeliers create a more club-like atmosphere, said Blackburn. The area also includes an ice bar and dance floor, where DJs often come to spin.
The diversity of both the bar itself and the clientele it attracts make Quinton's the favorite bar of John Mitchell, a senior from Omaha.
"It's a little bit different than a typical college scene," said Mitchell. "A lot of times, you get kind of an immature crowd at some places in Lawrence. Here, the crowd is a little more laid back, out to have a good time rather than get wasted, which is something that you grow to appreciate as you get older."
THE CAVE
The Oread's swanky club, the Cave, has been open for less than two years, but it has already won over some students.
"It's fun and they play really good
music," said Abby Harris a junior from Chicago. She said she likes that it is underground and has different rooms, although she prefers the main floor on the last level.
The atmosphere also appeals to her. Patrons tend to dress more formally at the Cave than they do at many other Lawrence bars, with girls decked out in dresses and heels, said Harris.
"Its more of a dance place," said Erin Schwartz, a senior from Overland Park. "It's not all underage people, and its not gross like some bars in Lawrence."
But the perks come with a cost. A night out at the cave can get pricey and their drink specials can't compete with other bars, Schwartz added.
TONIC
Tonic's appeal seems to also lie in maintaining a more formal atmosphere. Manager Liam Kirby said the bar attracts more dressed up clientele, something he supports.
"We like people to make it a night out," Kirby said. "We pride

For some students, finding a niche in a religious community can be quite the challenge. To make the search easier for Kansas students, off-campus religious organizations make themselves known by instigating a strong presence at the University.
CHABAD CENTER
FOR JEWISH LIFE
"From emotional support to physical and spiritual needs, we are a religious organization in the sense that we provide resources for anything Jewish. We want to ensure that every student knows that there's a place they can go anytime, for anything," Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel said.
Stressing the importance of college students finding a home away from home, the Chabad Center for Jewish Life hopes to be exactly that for the University's Jewish community.
Even though Chabad is physically located on 19th Street, its
presence on campus is strong. With weekly events and a table outside Wescoe, along with major holiday celebrations and keeping students informed with Facebook and Twitter, the Chabad Center for Jewish Lifeg gets the attention of the University's students.
"We do table on campus to make sure people know we are there, but once you come to the table we aren't just handing you a flier; we are talking to you and learning who you are," said Shelley Widom, vice president of communications for Chabad.
Starting six years ago with an average of only five students meeting every Friday night, now Chabad averages 40 to 60. It's larger events usually attract hundreds of students and Tiechtel estimates that the Center reaches over a thousand students per semester.
The Chabad Center for Jewish Life understands that college students face unwanted trials on a daily basis. With this in mind, its goal is to provide a safe haven for students to go, knowing that there is no judgement or expectations.
"I think that students are taking
classes they don't like and feel it's a drag." Widom said. "They know they have to go, but don't want to. In an organization, you choose which one you want to be part of and make the choice to be there. People can really put their heart into what they're doing when they choose to be part of a religious organization."
THE ISLAMIC CENTER OF LAWRENCE
"This year we have plans for a quarterly series of seminars for high school and college students addressing topics like why Muslims don't date, tips for responding to questions from curious or hostile community members, how to get involved in community service, et cetera." Bassam Helwani, assistant director of the Islamic Center of
The Islamic Center of Lawrence works closely with the KU Muslim Students' Association, which is active both on campus and in the mosque. Coordinating events to get students more involved is a top priority for the Islamic Center of Lawrence.
By providing women's swimming sessions, Sunday School programs and study groups for both men and women, the Islamic Center of Lawrence hopes to get the attention of more students. Although it provides all of these opportunities, the idea of improvement is never dismissed.
"We've done a lot in the past year in cooperation with other local groups," Helwani said. "But there is always more we can do to engage students and members of the larger community."
By getting active within the Islamic Center, students find a nurturing and welcoming environment.
"It's important for students to get involved with the Islamic Center and for the Islamic Center to get involved with student activities, because when we cooperate in the tasks of daily community life and help each other along, no one can plant false fear of each other in our hearts," Helwani said.

"The university years are the critical years where major decisions are being made and habits of heart are being established," Chad Donohoe, college pastor at Grace Church said. "We desire to be a place where all honest questions deserve honest answers. Our goal is to foster an atmosphere where students love and think deeply."
Along with its Sunday morning classes, Collegiate Ministries also offers an evening session, "Waffles and Worldviews." Although serving waffles was found to be too much to handle, snacks are still provided. Not only is the goal to satisfy students' hunger, but also to feed their desire for Christianity as well.

BUENOS AIRES
Argentina's security ministry has an explosives team probing a mysterious blast that killed a woman and injured at least six other people in the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
The explosion occurred shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, destroying two houses, a business and several cars.
Several neighbors reported seeing a ball of fire fall from the skv right before the explosion.
DUBLIN
Provincial justice and security minister Ricardo Casal says experts "are evaluating all the theories, from an explosion to something strange that came from the sky."
Federal and provincial experts aren't ruling anything out, but NASA has said that a satellite that fell to Earth sometime Saturday landed well clear of South America.
Northern Ireland police say they have arrested three suspected Irish Republican Army dissidents over a suspected car bomb in Londonderry.
British Army engineers are examining Monday's potential bomb at a road junction on the city's outskirts. The alert has caused traffic jams along Northern Ireland's border with the Irish Republic.
The three men aged 46, 49 and 56 are being questioned at the main police interrogation center near Belfast.
Police reported a second suspected bomb in the border town of Newry. It was found on a road running underneath the main Belfast-Dublin highway and near the town's train station.
Several IRA splinter groups seek to force Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom. They reject the IRA's 2005 decisions to disarm and renounce violence.
BAGHDAD
Baghdad gunmen assassinated a senior finance ministry official and wounded a senior judge, while a roadside bomb in northern Iraq killed three people Monday, officials said.
Senior Finance Ministry official Mohammed Ali al-Safi died Monday evening, hours after assailants opened fire on his car in western Baghdad, police and hospital officials said.
Additionally, officials said gunmen shot judge Munir Hadad in his hand during a drive-by shooting on a highway in central Baghdad in a failed assassination attempt. Hadad served as the spokesman for the Iraqi High Tribunal formed to prosecute former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his aides.
Separately, Brig. Gen. Sarhat Qadir said a detonated bomb hit a car carrying four people near the city of Kirkuk, some 180 miles north of Baghdad.
It is packing maximum winds of 87 mph and with the immense 400-mile cloud band threatens to foul weather across the entire main Luzon Island as it moves toward the South China Sea.
Heavy downpours and wind prompted the closure of schools and universities in the capital Manila while domestic flights are canceled and inter-island ferries grounded, stranding thousands.

Animal cruelty in the 'Little Apple'
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A 45-year-old Manhattan man is facing several charges after an incident involving a boa constrictor and a large sword.
WIBW reports Riley County police officers were called to a home Friday afternoon where friends of the man said he was acting weird and throwing a boa constrictor down on the ground repeatedly.
Police say officers were attempting to arrest the man for animal cruelty when he started swinging a large sword around and threatening them.
The man was subdued and charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, obstructing the legal process, disorderly conduct and animal cruelty. He also was charged with criminal damage because police say he damaged a window in the patrol car with his handcuffs on the way to jail.

Website speeds up visa process
The 'Study in the States' website went live two weeks ago and is designed to streamline the visa process for foreign students and faculty. In a conference call on Sept. 16, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton announced it as part of a government-wide initiative to encourage "the best and brightest foreign students" to study and conduct research in the United States.
A new federal website for international students does not yet provide much that is new, according to Joe Potts, director of international student and scholar services at the University. He does, however, approve of the idea behind it.
Potts said he was encouraged by the announcement of the website launch and hoped it will be followed by genuine policy improvements.
He said those students represent a critical intellectual resource and that overcomplicated regulatory issues make employment after graduation difficult for both the students and companies that might hire them.

"From what I've been able to see on the website, there is no new content yet and no new tools or programs." Potts wrote in an email. "But it does reflect a new awareness by the federal government of the importance of international students."
Morton said one goal of the website was to help foreign students remain in compliance with visa laws and improve the integrity of immigration law enforcement. He said it was part of a greater effort to move the visa regulation process entirely online, replacing the current system, which uses both paper and electronic documents.

Only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, the bar has a tendency to get crowded, making it hard to move around, said Marisa Reongopongdit, a senior from Chicago.
"I don't like the lines at Tonic or the prices of the drink, but the music is cool. Its a good mix between old school songs and new stuff," she said. "And its a great venue. I like that it has lounges inside and outside and four different bars, so you never have to wait too long."

The bar has a stage for live music or DJs and budget-friendly drink prices that make it a popular student spot on Wednesdays and weekends.
"I love Long Islands and they always have them on special," said Lindsay Granthan, a senior from DeSoto, who feels like the bar's casual atmosphere is more fun for a night out with friends than a dressier bar like Tonic.
Peter Ciurej, a senior from Omaha and a bartender at Quinton's, said all the bars on Massachusetts Street, including Quinton's, Tonic and Fatso's, benefit from being close together on one of the city's most popular streets.
"People like to be on Mass. Street because of the variety of bars they can go to," he said. Regardless of where people might start their night, they're likely to visit a few other bars, Ciurei added.
IN ALL NIGHT
While partying may seem like a natural extension of college, some students choose to opt out because they lack the interest or ability to get into bars.
"I don't drink at all, so I've never been to a bar in Lawrence," said Taylor Balis, a junior from Naperville. III. She prefers to stay in or go out with friends to dinner.
to going to bars, but it is not the only one that keeps him in at night.
"I don't have a fake ID or money. And I work at night until 3 a.m. at the front desk of a dorm," said Primovic.
To Matt Primovic, a sophomore from Akron, Ohio, age is a barrier
Thom Browne, a junior from Topeka, has never been one to go out at night because he is underage and does not want to use a fake. And even though he will soon celebrate a birthday, Browne said he still will not be frequenting popular student bars.
"I'll be at the Tap Room for soul night," said Browne.

Lecture to discuss big business ethics
GOING LONG
The Hall Center for the Humanities is hosting a lecture tonight about the integrity and responsibility large corporations have to the public. Siva Vaidhyanathan, cultural historian, media scholar and professor of Media Studies and Law at the University of Virginia will discuss the ethical issues businesses face today from Google's point of view. Specific issues Vaidhyanathan will cover include whether corporations in this day and age can get away with mistreating users, the duties of a business to its shareholders and whether the public holds corporations responsible for their actions. The lecture is at 7:30 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium.

Blagojevich's sentencing delayed
CHICAGO — A federal judge on Monday indefinitely delayed next week's scheduled sentencing for Rod Blagojevich on multiple corruption convictions, apparently because it would have conflicted with the start of a related trial of a longtime Illinois powerbroker who raised money for the former governor.
In a three-sentence notice posted electronically, U.S. District Judge James Zagel in Chicago did not offer any reason for cancelling Blagojevich's Oct. 6 sentencing, saying simply that it has been "stricken until further order by the court."
Defense attorney Sheldon Sorosky cited the Oct. 3 start of the corruption trial of William Cellini, which Zagel is also presiding over.

CATHOLIC CAMPUS CENTER
Almost every Tuesday, the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center tables in red shirts at Wescoe Beach. Located at the corner of 15th Street and Engel Road, the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center is working hard to get Kansas students interested and involved in all the center has to offer.
"I believe that we have a very strong presence on campus and I feel it is only continuing to grow," Sister Ciara Remartini said.
Offering many different opportunities for students to get involved, the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center tries to have activities that interest everyone. Sand volleyball on Wednesday evenings, ultimate frisbee on Friday afternoons, and soccer on Sundays are just a few of the events available to students for fellowship.
Karen Lombardi, the ministry coordinator at St. Lawrence encourages students to get involved in any way they can. In addition to the fellowship opportunities, students can also get involved in liturgy and worship.
"There are so many ways to get involved," she said. "Another great
way to get involved is to just come hang out at the Center—join us for Sunday suppers or come on a retreat to get to know more and grow deeper in your life of faith."

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
Communication outlets may not favor a revolution today. Postpone risk-taking (especially romantic and financial). A word from you helps a loved one. Move up a level.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Love is smiling down upon you, sprucing new tendrils of creativity, sprinkling you with magical magnetic attraction. Unpredictable changes could disrupt, so play it cool.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
If you feel chained or captive to an obligation, give up resistance. It only makes the imprisonment persist. Instead, relax into the confines and finish the job to be truly free.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8
Put it in writing, even if you have to use a paper napkin. Take an inventory of your wealth, and you'll discover the answer you were looking for. No gambling allowed.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9
You could be tempted to take a big chance, but think it over well. One thing ends and another begins. Don't go against your core values, no matter what. Watch your feet.

Rejuvenated, Wilco releases new album
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — It was three days before Wilco was scheduled to leave Chicago to start its tour, and the band was running through songs on its newest album, "The Whole Love," Next up was "One Sunday Morning," a 12-minute cut that is at once the most traditional tune on the album and its most subtle, with slight melodic tweaks and instrumental adornments throughout.
The rehearsal, however, was momentarily delayed. Glenn Kotche, the band's percussionist, was missing an instrument. Could someone, Kotche shouted, bring him his "chicken paddle"? The toy-turned-instrument is exactly as its name implies: a small paddle, adorned with wooden chickens. Shake it, and the chickens peck, although Kotche has modified it so the beaks hit a metal finger cymbal.
"I'm sure it's the first time someone brought a chicken paddle onstage." Kotche said. "I can take credit for that."
Wilco has never been shy about flirting with the unexpected, but not since 2001's breakthrough "Yankee Hotel Foxtor" has the band so freely utilized the studio, and never has the band sounded this consistently upbeat. Whether in the digitally enhanced exploiseness of "Art of Almost," the garage rock recklessness of "Standing O" or the orchestral psychedelics of "Capitol City," "The Whole Love" is the sound of a veteran band rejuvenated. It's an
Among the ranks of Wilco's accomplishments in its 17 years of musical adventurousness it is, admittedly, minor, but one that reflects the playful camarade that went into making "The Whole Love," due out Tuesday.
album that seems directly aimed at silencing those who would dare write off Wilco's continued move into adulthood as that despicable thing: "dad rock."
Credit consistency, "The Whole Love" marks the first time Wilco has recorded three albums with the same lineup _ or attribute it to newfound freedom. Like veterans Radiohead and Weezer before them, Wilco is going independent. "The Whole Love" is the inaugural release on the band's own dBpm Records, which has partnered with Anti-, an off-shoot of punk label Epitaph, for marketing and distribution.
In fact, the band believes it is entering its most productive period as a recording unit. "We can make a dozen different records if you stuck us in the studio tomorrow and gave us one week," Kotche said. "We can make straight-up noise. We can make straight-up pop. We can make a folk record. There's so much we have that we haven't even touched upon."
"This is a band that has chemistry, and that's inexplicable," Jeff Tweedy said during a break in the band's loft-space kitchen. "This is a band that has a certain amount of maturity, not just age-wise, but experience-wise, in terms of how many records everyone has made and been a part of. This band couldn't exist without having not settled for unsatisfying and ungratifying or dysfunctional situations before. Like relationships, I think a lot of bands go many, many years past where it is working in a functional way. We never had to do that."
It's a jump that seemed inevitable. Wilco capitalized on the digital-era confusion of the music business early, and the success
of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" has become the stuff of industry legend. It was to be the third Wilco album released by the Warner Music Group's Reprise Records, but the label rejected it. The album found its audience after the band gave it away free online, and ultimately, "Yankee" was released by Nonesuch, a label also owned by Warner. Wilco continued to work with Nonesuch through 2009's "Wilco (The Album)."
TELEVISION
Still, the band has always mixed up its approach in the studio. For 2007's "Sky Blue Sky" the band recorded it live in its Chicago space with limited overdubs.

The period piece about a 1960s-era flight crew jetted off with 10.9 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. That improved on the 9.8 million who turned out for the final season premiere of "Desperate Housewives," a strong sign that viewers at least wanted to take a spin on "Pan Am."

It has been a controversial topic hanging over the 2012 Republican presidential debates this year, and a significant uproar has surrounded false claims about the human papilloma virus made by U.S. Representative and presidential hopeful, Michele Bachmann.
Bachman has openly criticized fellow presidential candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry over his 2007 executive order to mandate vaccinations to young girls against HPV. And at a recent GOP debate, she criticized the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer by wrongfully deeming it "dangerous."
HPV vaccine is important for both sexes
Bachmann continued her with her fraudulent criticisms on
EDITORIAL
the Today show by claiming that the HPV vaccine can cause mental retardation in young girls who have been vaccinated. Bachmann said a woman whose daughter had received the HPV vaccine approached her and affirmed that the daughter "suffered from mental retardation thereafter"
The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement later that day saying that there is zero scientific validity to Bachmann's inflammatory remarks. They recommended that all girls around the age of 11 or 12 receive the vaccine because it is a "life-saving vaccine that can protect girls from cervical cancer."
Despite Bachmann's ignorant assertions, the vaccine has a superb safety record after over 35 million administered doses according to the AAP report and should definitely become a state-mandated vaccine.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the vaccine is highly effective in preventing specific HPV types and the most common health problems that stem from HPV. And health officials have consistently assured the public that the vaccine is no more dangerous than the mumps, hepatitis B and measles vaccines that are mandated in most states. The real reason the HPV vaccine has become so heavily scrutinized is because, unlike other less-controversial mandatory vaccines, this one has
been politicized due to its association with a sexually transmitted disease. The vaccine is recommended for prepubescent girls in order to protect them hopefully well before they become sexually active. This makes parents unuse, but the facts are clear.
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States according to the CDC. More than 25 percent of girls and women ages 14 to 49 have been infected, and 44 percent of those cases occur in women age 20 to 24. Millions of new infections occur each year, and researchers think that at least half of all adults have been infected at some point in their lives.
ing contraception and familiarizing teens with it, but those who preach abstinence should also pay attention to the numbers. Even if a female remains a virgin until marriage, if she marries a partner who has had sex with just one other person before her, that female is susceptible to HPV. And any kind of intimate genital contact can transmit the virus.
There are many fears surround-
The spreading of the misinformation just means that it's more important than ever to be educated and know the facts. Because of HPV's widespread nature and its public health effect, a mandate of the vaccine should be irrefutable.

POLITICS
Social issues still key
When tea party protests erupted in the early days of the Obama administration, many observers hailed the rise of a new force in American conservatism, focused more on dollars and cents than contentious debates over abortion and gay rights.
The Tea Party Patriots broadcast its fiscal focus in its motto
- "fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets." Pundits speculated that under the tea party the Republican Party would take on a libertarian bent. Those activists brandishing copies of the Constitution and wearing tri-corner hats wanted government out of board rooms and bedrooms.
The New York Times wondered whether "faith and family" would lose their place "at the center of the conservative movement."
As the debate over President Obama's health care proposal unfolded, tea party members rallied against its individual mandate. This marked a departure from the days when conservatives were more likely to condemn, well, man dates.
It certainly made practical sense. After all, polls show that young voters overwhelmingly support gay marriage. And for all the noise made by conservative Christian activists, "no religion" was the fastest-growing "religious" group in the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey.
Alas, the current contest for
the GOP presidential nomination, a race fueled by candidates' bid for tea party support, reveals that the social conservatism remains at the forefront of the conservative cause. Take the hits Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) is receiving from rivals like Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) over his rescinded mandate that schoolgirls in

his state receive Gardasil, the anti-HPV vaccine. At the CNN/Tea Party debate on Sep. 12, Perry's vaccine order prompted a oncefriendly crowd to seemingly turn against him.
Things worsened for Perry when he defended a Texas program giving undocumented immigrant students to receive scholarships to state universities. Perry's remark that the sound of one's last name shouldn't dictate one's prospects for success won him no favors with the audience.
Polling shows that the tea party is essentially a movement of down-the-line conservatives. The Pew Research Center in 2010 found 26 percent support among tea partyers for gay marriage, against 42 percent among all voters. Fifty-two percent of all voters endorsed legalized abortion, compared to 34 percent of tea party supporters. Indeed, on gay marriage, 53 percent of tea partyers gave religion as the main reason for their stance – in line with the 52 percent of non-tea party Republicans.
Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas),
the tea party favorite and supposed libertarian, opposes abortion and gay rights and denies the theory of evolution.
If the tea party were really all about fiscal conservatism and a live-and-letlive attitude on social issues, former Gov. Jon Huntsman (R-Utah), a supporter of Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) drastic Medicare overhaul and a dramatically revamped tax code, would be the GOP frontrunner. Of course, the civil union-supporting, evolution-accepting, climate change-acknowledging Huntsman is out of step with the tea party's social conservatism and anti-intellectualism. Huntsman, who's languishing at around one percent in the polls, thinks he can break through among GOP voters with a message of limited government and social toleration. Were it not for the seven children he and his wife Mary Kaye have, I'd assume he also thinks one can fornicate through the mattress.

CULTURE
Hope for arts
As I opened up The New York Times on Sept. 16, I knew I must have been mistaken; there is a performing arts center opening up in downtown Kansas City?
It's true. Kansas City, Mo. has recently opened up the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, highlighting performances in ballet, opera, symphonies, and theater shows. All of a sudden, we have the opportunity to alter the normal arts rhetoric we have become accustomed to using the past several months.
Can we call this renewed hope? While the Kauffman Center is in Missouri, its proximity to Kansas raises notice. Five years ago, I doubt anyone really knew that Kansas budget pitfalls would be put to the test as they were, and who knew it
Before getting too excited, I should establish some ground facts: the Kauffman Center was privately funded using absolutely no taxpayer funds (somewhere around $413 million). Construction began nearly five years ago, in October of 2006.
Obviously, the Kauffman Center is unique in how it came into being, but it still has the opportunity in my eyes to incite new excitement in those struggling to move forward from lowered states arts budgets scares and irresponsible leadership, most notably from our own governor, Sam Brownback.
This opening has more than just a mild affect on our culture, especially with the constant renewal of talks stemming from budget cutting on both the federal and state levels.
Arts programs have been easy targets for the government to cut spending. After all, what's so important about art, anyway? Many of us undervalue how essential they are to our culture. But with this opening, we have a refreshing source of optimism. In the face of cuts and scrutiny, an exclusively artistic endeavor is poised to hopefully flourish.

And why not? They aren't some dangerous venture that must be repressed. This is the time to prove to everyone that the arts belong with us, always. They shouldn't be thrown aside as a sure threat to one day become extinct.

What Gov. Brownback and his supporters need to realize is that no matter how hard they may try, they will not quell the arts. Music, performance, literature, traditional art, education for all of it and everything in between will always have a place in our culture and in our hearts and minds. Why are some so convinced that all of the arts are attached to some ideologically liberal name tag that must be squashed before they impose some risk, detriment or weakness to our society?
And the Kauffman Center is living proof of those people's existence.
would result in such attempts to drastically cut arts funds? At the same time, there are a lot of people who clearly care deeply about the arts and will stop at nothing to continue bringing its issues to light. Those supporters will always be there.

The Cyclones have won all three of their games by a combined eight points, but a win this weekend against Texas would launch them into the Top 25 and make them more than just a Big 12 doormat.

Kansas State 3-0 (Last Week 9): The Wildcats shocked the college football world defeating Miami (FL) in Miami over the weekend, in their first game against a true opponent. They will keep climbing in the rankings if they can contain Robert Griffin III and Baylor as they open up their Big 12 slate.

The Red Raiders keep falling down the rankings. They survived Nevada over the weekend, outlasting them 35-34. The Red Raiders have struggled at times this season, including when they fell behind by 14 to Nevada last week and when they trailed Texas State 10-9 at halftime of their opening.

Baseball fans: enjoy the season's final days
MORNING BREW
Yes, all the baseball division races have closed up. but for some fans out there, the wildcard races look to go down to the final day of play.
In the National League, Atlanta is trying to fend off St. Louis. The Braves get the Philadelphia Phillies at home and even though the Phillies have locked up the National League East, they are trying to win their 100th game of the season. They are also attempting to regain some momentum heading into the playoffs after losing nine of their last 11 games.
The Cardinals are trying to catch the Braves in what may be their last stand with one of the best current ball players in the game, Albert Pujols.
And for all you Red Sox nation members who somehow found yourselves in Kansas, I know you'll be staring closely to your computer screens to see if they can hold off the surge of the Rays, praying that their collapse ends this week in Baltimore. But the scary truth is that the Sox have lost 18 games in September — and the Rays get to play Boston's biggest rival, the Yankees.
I'm not saying there will be chants of conspiracy coming out of Boston should the Yankees, who have home field advantage all wrapped up in the American League, lose to the Rays and watch the Red Sox knocked out of the playoff hunt, but I'm definitely not saying there won't be.
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
But the absolute best part of these last few days of regular season baseball is that it all happens at the beginning of the week. The NFL teams will all be preparing for Sunday, so the only story you will hear of is an update on the injury to Michael Vick's non-throwing hand (which you really only care about if he's on your fantasy team and either way I have a secret for you; nobody cares about your fantasy team, except you).
And college football will still somehow be dragging out the big conference realignment that wasn't (thanks Texas A&M. Really, that was a month-long headache for basically nothing).
So watch some good baseball this week instead and, if
you are one of the Kansas City Royals' faithful fans, hang in there. Things will get better. The American League Central isn't that good and your team is in a position to make a big leap next year.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Low predictions don't get football teams down
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas State and Iowa State got picked to finish near the bottom of the Big 12 standings. After undefeated starts in nonconference play, they will get a chance this week to show whether they're contenders or pretenders.
The Wildcats will host No. 15
Baylor on Saturday, trying to start
4-0 for the second straight year after failing to do so six years in a row. Iowa State, which won each of its first three games by four points or less, will get a visit from 17thranked Texas and try to open with four straight wins for the first time since 2000.
K-State's opening stretch has grabbed the attention of the league after the Wildcats were picked to
finish eighth in the 10-team conference in the preseason. Iowa State was picked ninth, ahead of only Kansas.
"Bill Snyder's stamp is starting to show on the program," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said Monday on the Big 12 coaches' call. "They're playing very, very good defense, time of possession football, very good on third downs. They're running the football.
"That's just kind of his stamp on him climbing that program."
The Wildcats needed a goal-line stand in the final minute to preserve a 28-24 win at Miami on Saturday, with linebacker Tre Walker making three tackles inside the 2-yard line to earn conference defensive player of the week honors.

COMMENTARY
Moving on after Texas A&M
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
The drama around Texas A&M's departure to the Southeastern Conference dragged on for far too long.
On Sunday, the much-maligned Aggies finally got their wish. The SEC officially and unconditionally accepted Texas A&M as a member of the conference beginning July 2012.
Baylor can sue all they want, but the Big 12 is without a doubt down to nine teams. Texas A&M's exit, though disappointing, is for the best.
The Big 12 was able to avoid an apparent collapse, but the conference's relationship with Texas A&M was so strained that the Aggies had to leave not only for themselves but also for the well-being of this conference.
I'm sure interim commissioner Chuck Neinas would love to have the opportunity to work out the issues, but that would be like getting a marriage counselor after already filing for divorce. Texas A&M has found someone else, and so should the Big 12.
So what if that someone else is a conference that has won the last five national titles? The Big 12 can either get caught up in jealousy over A&M's flashy new partner, or the conference can prove once and for all that we don't need the Aggies.
With the Big 12's two biggest football programs, Oklahoma and Texas, staying on board, the conference can work toward stability and filling the new void.
And there are plenty of fish in the sea.
The Big 12 is lucky to have options when it comes to replacing Texas A&M, and some pretty good ones at that. The first school Neinas should target is Brigham Young University.
BYU is currently independent in football, so the Big 12 wouldn't be poaching another conference right off the bat. Better yet, the Cougars bring a national audience, as they are the Mormon church's flagship university.
If the Big 12 were to add BYU, it would allow the conference to expand its boundaries to new markets, and Provo, Utah, would be a refreshing change of scenery from College Station.
Considering the name of the conference is the "Big 12," why stop at 10? Neinas would really make a statement if he could get the conference's membership back to 12 teams in a hasty manner. It just makes the most sense.
When it's all said and done, schools like Louisville and West Virginia could be looking for a new home. Texas Christian University is also an option, but does the Big 12 really want another school from Texas? The Longhorns already bring that market.
Following the exits of Pittsburgh and Syracuse to the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East finds itself in an all-too-familiar state of instability. Big East Commissioner John Marinato says that all the remaining schools are committed to the conference, but many pundits believe otherwise.
Breakups are never easy, but the faster the Big 12 gets over the Aggies, the stronger the conference will be.

mvernon@kansan.com
The opening act of the 2011- 2012 football season has come to a conclusion for the Kansas football team.
There have been ups: A last-minute victory over Northern Illinois, in front of 48,084 fans at Memorial Stadium.
And there have been downs: A 66-24 drubbing by Georgia Tech in Atlanta, in which the defense allowed the second most yards in Kansas history.
They finished their non-conference slate with a 2-1 record, a quarterback who has made an
whole.
The 3-0 Red Raiders average 523.3 yards per game on offense, 316 of which come in the air — a stat that does not bode well for a Kansas pass defense that ranks 102nd out of 120 teams in the country.
"It will be the best team that we've played," Tubberville said. "We have got nine straight and we have got to become a much better football team in every area for us to have a chance to win these games."
The large numbers through the air are routine for Texas Tech football, but the running game has made their offense more dynamic than ever before.
impressive leap between his freshman and sophomore seasons, five legitimate running backs, and a defense that currently ranks last in the NCAA in yards allowed per game.
As Big 12 play picks up, so does the competition, as coach Turner Gill will have his hands full when Texas Tech steps onto the field in Lawrence this Saturday.
Texas Tech averages 184.67 yards rushing per game, causing preparations to get tricky for the Jayhawks.
"As we all know in the Big 12 conference, every opponent is a very, very good football team," Gill said.
"They can beat you both ways being able to run the ball and also being able to throw the ball," Gill said. "They're going to do both a little bit more completely now, so that brings a big challenge."
So with preparations against a talented Texas Tech offense underway, the second act of the Kansas season begins. It will come with more ups and downs, as Big 12 play is sure to provide a load of challenges for the Jayhawks.
As the Jayhawks refreshed themselves with a bye week, Texas Tech comes into Lawrence this week after squeaking by Nevada with a one-point victory, in which they took the lead with 36 seconds left.
Fortunately for Kansas, the Jayhawks will head into conference play healthier than they have been in their previous two games.

Gill said he expects both senior defensive tackle Pat Dorsey and freshman wide receiver JaCorey Shepherd to play against the Red Raiders.
Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tubberville said his team will have to play better against Kansas this week and in Big 12 play as a

Senior Rebeka Stowe does not watch the rankings very often but she was still happy to hear the news of a higher spot for the Jayhawks.

All of the teams that finished with a better team score than the Jayhawks were highly ranked from various regions. In the women's ranking, Iowa State is
the highest ranked team in the Midwest region and finished second at the Roy Griak Invitational. Minnesota, which is ranked third in the men's Midwest regional rankings, finished third in the race.
While discussing these teams, Zarda said that there is no reason why the Jayhawks cannot compete with teams like Iowa State and Minnesota. The key is staying packed closer together throughout the race and maintaining the same confidence in practice and the races.
Kansas will not race again until Oct. 8 at the Haskell Invitational. For now the Jayhawks will to

But what shape does that handbook definition take in the real world?
For the students living the jobs, it's as diverse as filling out paperwork, bailing out flooding lobbies and getting their floors together to watch "America's Best Dance Crew" or "Jersey Shore" every week. It's balancing school work, work duties, and, ultimately, just being a friend to their residents.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm a full-time big sister," Bhakta said. "I'm not going to love them all of."
them time. I mean, I'm stressed too. But in the end, I'm there for them."
For residential assistants, the first six weeks of the school year are crucial.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
That's when they focus on planning a plethora of social activities for their residents, many of whom are first-year students at the University.
"You kind of just feed them opportunities to come out and meet somebody," said Michael Nobo, a senior from Topeka and residential assistant in McCollum Hall.
Nobo said that most students decide within those first six weeks whether they'll come back to the University the next year or not. By constantly putting themselves out there, he said, residential assistants try to make a positive, supportive first impression.
The social programs, which occur throughout the year, include cooking grilled-cheese sandwiches once a week, group dinners in the dining hall and playing ultimate frisbee as a floor.
Residential assistants are also encouraged to build personal relationships with residents. Bhakta

City approves gender identity anti-discrimination policy with 4-1 vote
HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
Lawrence became the first city in Kansas to amend their human relations code to include protection against discrimination for gender identity after the city commission voted four to one to pass the measure.
Citizens will now have protection against discrimination based on their gender or on how other people perceive their gender. The city will now define gender identity as "gender-related identity, appearance, behavior, and other characteristics of an individual, as perceived by the individual or another, and without regard to the individual's actual or assigned sex at birth."
The definition is very similar to ones used by the cities of Kansas
Commissioner Bob Schumm said in his remarks that he could not allow any discrimination to continue if he had the power to stop it. Commissioners Hugh Carter, Mike Dever and Mayor Aron Cromwell shared his sentiment.
City, Mo., and Chicago. The commissioners presented concerns over whether or not the entire law will stand up in the court system if it is challenged.
Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies professor Milton Wendland said the legislation will help remedy discrimination that may be happening already, but more importantly will "help alleviate the sort of possibility that those things could happen for a lot of people and that includes people who don't identify as trans."
Supporters of the ordinance sat throughout the meeting hall wearing rainbow ribbons pinned to their shirts. Citizens opposed were also represented in the meeting and outside of city hall protesting the ordinance.
More than 150 people filled the city hall Tuesday evening.
Citizens brought up concerns about public bathroom use and whether or not private companies would be required to construct additional bathrooms for transgendered individuals. Businesses also expressed concern over transgendered pebole being relatable to their clients in the community.
Cromwell said in his remarks that many of the issues against the ordinance "tell flat" in his mind.
Students also spoke in support of ordinance. Jeremy Atkinson, a senior from Lawrence has spent his time supporting the ordinance and
talking to the commissioners about his position.
"It feels better to know that the community is one that is going to value everyone," he said. "It is going to make some people's lives easier and it is not going to hurt anyone."
A similar ordinance was proposed in 2009 and 2010 to the Lawrence Human Relations Commission but failed to move to the city commission. Scott Criqui is a member of the human relations commission and voted to support the measure in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Marriage equality provokes discussion during panel
KAYLA OVERBEY
editor@kansan.com
Dale Carpenter, professor of civil liberties law at the University of Minnesota, spoke in support of same-sex marriage and said that legalization would bring a tangible benefit to millions of citizens without harming traditional marriages.
Panelists debated the legalization of same-sex marriage at the Kansas School of Law yesterday, but they did agree on one thing: the controversy may soon fade as public support grows.
"I see every reason to believe same-sex marriage will benefit everyone in this country;" Carpenter said at the panel discussion presented by the Kansas Federalist Society.
He contested the idea that same-sex marriage would harm heterosexual couples and the ideals of marriage.
"This rush to same-sex marriage is a passion of the hour" Schowengerdt said. "This is such a radical change that it will produce a harmful effect on society."
Dale Schowengerdt, an experienced litigator, argued against legalization of gay marriage during the discussion panel.
According to a May 2011 Gallup poll, a majority of Americans now support recognition of gay marriage as the issue becomes less controversial and more mainstream.
"I don't see how my relationship is made stronger because someone else's relationship is undermined," Carpenter said.
"I feel people are for same-sex marriage. Most of America does not mind it," Williams said. "They're like, 'Let people get married, we don't care.'"
During the debate, Carpenter said taboo issues of the past are nationally accepted without question today. He compared same-sex marriage to the women's movement of equal rights in the 1960s and 1970s.
Some event participants said the case for same-sex marriage would soon be a problem of the past.
Joshua Williams, vice president of Queers & Allies at the University, said the debate is losing impact.

MYANMAR
Military-dominated Myanmar said its recent democratic reforms are irreversible and has promised a prisoner amnesty in the near future.
Foreign Minister Wanna Maung Lewin told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that talks last month between Myanmar's president and democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi were intended to put aside differences and find common grounds to cooperate.
The minister urged nations to lift economic sanctions.
In November Myanmar held its first elections in 20 years. The new government is nominally civilian but remains dominated by the military, which has ruled since 1962.
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, PAKISTAN
Western nations are urging Myanmar to free its more than 2,000 political prisoners and reconcile with Suu Kyi, whose party won 1990 elections but was barred from taking power.
An American drone fired two missiles at a house in a northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border Tuesday, killing three people
Pakistani intelligence officials said.
Pakistani intelligence officials said. The two officials said some people were also wounded in the strike near the town of Wana in South Waziristan.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
Washington has fired scores of missiles into northwest Pakistan since 2008 to target Taliban and al-Qaida-linked operatives.
The latest strike comes at a time of heightened tensions between Washington and Islamabad following a recent claim by top U.S. military officer, Adm. Mike Mullen, that Pakistan's main spy agency backed militants who carried out attacks against American targets in Afghanistan.
CAIRO
A Saudi woman was sentenced Tuesday to be lashed 10 times with a whip for defying the kingdom's prohibition on female drivers, the first time a legal punishment has been handed down for a violation of the longtime ban in the
ultraconservative Muslim nation.
Normally, police just stop female drivers, question them and let them go after they sign a pledge not to drive again. But dozens of women have continued to take to the roads since June in a campaign to break the taboo.
Making Tuesday's sentence all the more up-setting to activists is that it came just two days after King Abdullah promised to protect women's rights and decreed that women would be allowed to participate in municipal elections in 2015. Abdullah also promised to appoint women to a currently all-male advisory body known as the Shura Council.
MANILA. PHILIPINES
Manila residents waded through waist-deep floodwaters and dodged flying debris Tuesday as a powerful typhoon struck the Philippines, killing at least 16 people and sending waves as tall as palm trees crashing over seawalls.
Most deaths occurred in metropolitan Manila, which already was soaked by heavy monsoon rains ahead of Typhoon Nesat's arrival with more downpours and wind gusts of up to 93 mph (150 kph). Downtown areas along Manila Bay suffered their worst flooding in decades.
Pounding rains obscured the view of anyone on the streets as soldiers and police scrambled to safely evacuate thousands of people in low-lying areas, where rivers and the sea spilled into shanties, hospitals, swanky hotels and even the seaside U.S. Embassy compound.

Alternative Breaks hosts story slam
Alternative Breaks and the Center for Community Outreach (CCO) are hosting a story slam tomorrow night. The event is similar to a poetry slam, but instead of reading poems, eight students and KU alumni will share stories about their personal experiences volunteering for Alternative breaks or with CCO.
English professor Mary Klayber is hosting the event and proud to showcase these two groups on campus.
"I'm excited to have a celebration of service for two organizations that have been a part of KU for so long." Klaver said.
The story slam will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. A reception will be held after the event in the Big 12 room.

KU enrollment down 2.5 percent
Enrollment numbers for fall 2011 were yesterday and enrollment at the University has declined 2.5 percent. The University is putting new recruitment and retention practices into effect to help increase the current enrollment population of 28,718 students.
One strategy to improve enrollment is to offer renewable scholarships worth up to $40,000 to students enrolling in fall 2012.
Although enrollment declined, the University said the students that are enrolled, are prepared academically. The average ACT score for the incoming class is a 24.9, which is higher than the national average of 22.2.
Although the Lawrence campus saw declines in enrollment, the KU Medical Center and Edwards campuses saw increases in enrollment for this school year.

ORDINANCE FROM 11
Wendland thought the legislation will help Lawrence in a greater way than only protecting individuals, "The city of Lawrence would be saying to potential citizens, students, retirements, and more importantly perhaps businesses, that our community protects its citizens because we want everyone to be productive, and healthy and happy."
The legislation will take effect immediately. There will be a second reading approved to add that gender identity must be consistent.
Mike Denver, Aron Cromwell, Hugh Carter and Bob Schumm voted in favor of the ordinance. Mike Amyx voted against.

Author gives talk on Google issues
Siva Vaidhyanathan took a strong stand for corporate social responsibility on Tuesday in the Digital Media Lecture Series, "Be Evil: Google and the Perils of Corporate Social Responsibility."
Vaidhyanathan, an accomplished media scholar, cultural historian and professor of Media Studies and Law at the University of Virginia, recently published a well-received yet controversial book entitled "The Googlization of Everything."
"What I'm trying to get to is that the hypocrisy doesn't matter to me," Vaidhyanathan said. "The hypocrisy is an uninteresting story. The question is how do we relate to the ethics of corporate social responsibility."
Vaidhyanathan talked extensively about the ability of corporations to mistreat their users in a radically growing transparent society.
Throughout the lecture, Vaidhyanathan referenced Google and how they relate to this problem.
corporations.
He encouraged people to use a de-mystification process when going through Google and other
"The biggest danger with Google is when we don't understand it," Vaidyhynathan said.
Vaidhyanathan also outlined that one of the main reasons we are having this discussion is because of "public failure."
"I thought it was interesting and provocative, and I hope it made people think," professor of communication studies Nancy Baym said. "What we can take away from that is to question what corporations do."
Ryan McCarthy

said that she likes to take advantage of her "little moments" to connect with the women on her floor.
"I might be studying and then take a bathroom break, and during that walk down the hall, I look for open doors and people to chat with." Bhakta said. "It wasn't the longest moment, but at least I talked with somebody."
Vickie Blanco, a senior from Overland Park, worked as an residential assistant in Templin Hall for two years. Blanco said that meeting everyone and making a family made life as a residential assistant the most rewarding job she had ever had.
"I'm still best friends with a lot of the kids who were on my floor," Blanco said. "They still make an effort to make me a part of their lives."
BALANCING ACT
Being a residential assistant goes beyond fostering social interaction.
Residential assistants are required to work a weekly three-hour shift at the front desk of their hall and in their academic resource centers. They must be on-call during the day for two or three hours every week. They also have night and weekend shifts every month. They have to be in the building for 12- or
Additionally, residential assistants are required to be full-time students and must maintain a 2.5 grade point average.
48-hour periods to handle any situations that arise.
"We're still students first, then we're RAs," Nobo said.
Juggling personal life, school work and floor relationships can, at times, be overwhelming.
"If you are a very stressed person, and you let things get to you, this job will quickly catch up to you." Nobo said.
He said it was important to take advantage of free time and to lean on other residential assistants and professional residence life staff, such as complex directors, for support.
Sometimes, however, students find that maintaining a balance isn't going to work out.
"I realized last year that I didn't have the time that I thought I was going to have, and my schedule just keeps getting more and more demanding," Blanco said. "It really was hard to leave the job, but it was something that needed to be done."
Blanco is currently applying to medical school and decided last spring to not return for a third year as a residential assistant.
Jocelyn Crist, complex director for McCollum Hall, said that students were often nervous to tell their bosses they wanted to
"But we understand that it's not for everyone." Crist said. "Some of it's school, some of its their style, some of its just that they want to be with their friends some more. Some just don't like communal living after a while."
BAD COP?
leave early or didn't plan on returning to the position.
Besides being a friend and a student, residential assistants also have to deal with students who are breaking the rules.
According to the University's Clery Act Annual Security Report, there were 899 referrals and nine arrests for alcohol violations in student housing in 2009 and 238 referral and 17 arrests for drug violations.
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director for residence life, said that it was a residential assistant's responsibility to confront a situation, correct it and document everything that happened; not administer punishment.
Wamelink said that under the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities, residential assistants must ask and receive permission to enter a resident's room if they think someone is violating a rule unless they think someone is being harmed. However, she encouraged students to cooperate with residential assistants.
"If students are being uncooperative, the next level is to get law enforcement involved," Wamelink said.
While residential assistants receive training on how to handle various situations, they often end up having to think on their feet.
"It's one of those things where you don't know how you will handle it until you're put in the situation." Bhakta said.
SETTING THE TONE
Both Bhakta and Nobo will be back at the University for their fifth year of school next fall.
While Bhakta plans to remain a residential assistant, Nobo said he'll take time focusing on a required practicum for his social welfare major.
It's a job Nobo said he hates to leave, but he had a great experience.
Crist said that she thought not every residential adviser was happy with the position, but she said that every student found some value in it. '
"I think that every single person, whether they've loved the job or hated it, will tell me that they've learned something," Crist said. "They walk away learning something about how to deal with people or themselves."

of the Kansas' Federalist Society, an event sponsor, agreed with Carpenter's analysis.
"I think by the next generation it's probably going to be a moot point," she said.

The event was also sponsored by OUTlaws and Allies and KC Legal.
The debate has moved toward "the decency of recognizing human dignity," McAllister said. "For my kids' generations, they'll look back and wonder what the big deal was."

FILM
As a film major, my entire academic career has been based on the idea that you can learn something from watching movies. Besides the abstract things movies teach us, like how to love, they can teach us cold, hard facts. Biopics show us the lives of important figures, historical dramas recreate important events in vivid detail and every movie can show us aspects of the world we've never seen before. Of course, not every director is especially interested in making their movie accurate so much as they are in making it exciting.

tell the truth behind Shakespeare authorship question.
As you may or may not be aware, there is a growing community of people who believe Shakespeare was merely a front for another playwright, like Woody Allen in "The Front" or Grandpa Simpson in "The Front".
The film boasts multiple members of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the director seems pretty adamant that Shakespeare was a fraud, so you might think their's is a perfectly valid interpretation of history. The thing, it isn't. The overwhelming scholarly consensus is that Shakespeare was Shakespeare. But flash can outweigh substance and a movie about a Shakespearean conspiracy is going to convince more people than any number of journal articles.
And that's the danger of lying or providing inaccurate information in popular movies. As much as we tell ourselves to not believe everything we hear, we wind up believing a lot of what we hear. Even if you're a well-read person, you can't read a book on, every subject you see in a movie and if a film spends 90 minutes telling you over and over again that something is true;
chances are you'll believe it's true. It's not Hollywood's job to educate everyone, but they could do better than blatantly lying to us about historical facts.
-Schumaker is a junior in film and media studies from Overland Park.
The Oliver Stone film "JK" is another example of an outlandish conspiracy given credibility by a film. Obviously, the various Kennedy assassination conspiracies existed before the film and would survive without it, but I remember as a child watching the end
of the film and believing what it said, and I wasn't the only one. My eighth grade history teacher actually showed us the finale in class, and I spent much of the following years believing that LBJ may have orchestrated Kennedy's murder. It wasn't until much later that I found out Oliver Stone had been taken significant liberties with the truth.
Some filmmakers do their research, like the production team behind the 2007 film "Zodiac"; about the infamous Zodiac killer. Instead of implicitly trusting their source material, they hired private investigators to track down surviving witnesses and only showed in the film what they could prove in real life.
I'm not saying every film has to go to those lengths, but they could at least check a Wikipedia article.

Extreme protests a chance to learn
Nearly everyone can remember a protest that he or she has seen that carried significance. After all, that is the point of a protest. In order to influence public opinion, a person or group must capture the attention of the public. This can be done by anything from book burning to burning oneself, also called self-imolation. The extents to which people go to convey their message(s) can be increb- le, outrageous and shocking.
By Jordan Gormely
jgormely@kansan.com
The influence of each particular protest may have a lot to do with how far a person or group will go to capture public attention. Religion is commonly connected to various protests ranging from a local church to a religion that dominates entire regions of the globe. Devotion to religion can influence nearly every aspect of a person's life. Of course, not every religious person would go as far as to protest to get a point across. However, some will take their mission to great lengths.
When the Hindu caste system was intact, Gautama Siddartha had other ideas, stating "it's not your birth but your deeds that determine whether you are noble or ignoble." That message challenged everything that the caste system stood for. He did not turn to violence. Instead, his teachings influenced progress, denounced greed, and largely influenced the creation of Buddhism.
More recently, ABC News reported that Tsewang Norbu, a 29-year-old monk from the Nyitso monastery, doused himself in petrol and set himself afire in China. It was reported that he was calling out, "We Tibetan people want freedom" and "Long live the Dalai Lama." Of course, this was an extreme act that is relatively uncommon as compared to other
forms of protest. In a way, though,
it is a peaceful protest. It sends a
direct message without harming
innocent civilians or higher pro-
file figures. It is really the most
extreme way to give the finger to
whomever you choose.
I find it ironic that self-immolation has been relatively frequent among Tibetan monks since Buddhist teachings are commonly interpreted as prohibiting violence upon oneself. Without rights like freedom of speech, perhaps this was the best way to send a message. After all, it was on the third year anniversary of anti-government rioting that took place in Lhasa. Either way, it is appealing to explore that message further than the headline.
Exploration of such rare incidents can lead to a better understanding of the message. Perhaps messages could be delivered in a less destructive manner, but without freedom of speech, protesters may consider themselves coerced into such bizarre demonstrations. What is to be said about a person who takes his or her message to such an extreme level? Is the governmental authority to blame? Did the protester overreact? Perhaps, but maybe it proves that the squeaky, or in this case the squeakiest, wheel gets the oil.

Rid the body of stress through simple exercise
It's that time again: homework is accumulating, exams are approaching, and the days until summer rolls around again are already being counted down. Inevitably, stress sneaks up on students and there's little to no way to stop it once it's here. So now is a good time to get a head start and learn how to de-stress even before you are stressed.
One of the best ways to rid the body of stress is exercise. It seems too simple to be true, and sounds like an easy way out. Exercise, however, is one of the most difficult habits to adopt. How great would life be if it were healthy to create a habit of eating a bar of chocolate every day or having a pint of ice cream? Instead, it is drilled into our brains from the time we are young

children that exercise should be done on a daily basis.
Especially now that the first month of school has passed, it is definitely time to get into the groove. According to U.S. News, exercise can reverse the effects of stress, lift depression, and improve learning.
"Exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory, and learning," said Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Ratey, author of "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain", said in the article.
This means that if student's play their cards right, this triple threat could help to achieve a
great semester. Even as little as ten minutes of cardio could boost ones all around state of mind.
With this said, the statement of "I don't have time" is nothing of a legitimate excuse for not working out. Wouldn't it make sense that students be more inclined to work out and improve their studies? Working out can help raise those grades. So instead of sitting on your couch after class and contemplating whether or not to go for a run, think of your brain and keep your body healthy. After all, exercise prompts the triple threat to kick your body and your mental stability into shape.

Men's golf finishes 10th in Louisville tournament
LAUREN DRUMMOND
Idrummond@kansan.com
The men's golf team finished tied for 10th overall in the Cardinal Intercollegiate in Lousville, Ky., this week. The tournament was shortened from three rounds to two because of rain.
Junior Alex Gutesha, who shot a 73 in the final round, led the Jayhawks. Gutesha climbed two spots in the rankings during the last round to finish tied for 10th place. Behind Gutesha's strong final round, the Jayhawks also gained four spots in the rankings to improve from 14th overall to 10th overall on the last day. Their final score was 597 strokes, which
was 24 strokes behind University of Arkansas at Little Rock, who placed first in the tournament.
Kansas coach Kit Grove was pleased with Gutesha's play.
"Alex played solid," Groves said in a press release. "He hit 16 out of 18 greens in regulation. That's a super-high percentage, but he didn't do a lot on the greens. He didn't putt bad, but he didn't putt well."
The layhawks now have three weeks to practice and improve before their next tournament held in Kiawah Island, S.C.
Grove was satisfied with how his team played this past week, but he knows there is room for improvement.
"We're a lot better from tee to green than we've been in the past three or four years," Grove said in the release. "We're giving away shots on the green, and it's killing our scores. It's a lack of execution. We'll get back and practice. But 10th place is not what we're trying to accomplish."
Four other Jayhawks finished in the top 100. Junior Chris Gilbert shot a final round score of 74 to finish tied for 33rd. Senior Doug Quinones shot a final round score of 80 to finish tied for 62nd.
Junior Paul Harris and freshman Dylan McClure both shot final round scores of 76 to finish tied for 65th.

Sophomore Meghan Potee reads the slope of the tenth hole green at the Marilynn Smith Invitational in September 2010. Potee shot a 75 in Tuesday's final round of this year's invitational, and tied for 24th.
Coach Erin O'Neil felt like the team could have done better.
"Unfortunately, we didn't finish up as well as I would have liked today," O'Neil said in a press release. "Although, we did see improvement in certain areas of each players' games which is encouraging. We are a young group right now and the most important thing for us to do is to learn from our mistakes, continue to work hard and get better each day."
Sophomore Thanutra Boonrakasasat came up big for the Jayhawks by biring a three round score of 221 strokes. She finished tied for fourth place. O'Neil said she was pleased with Boonrakasasat's play this week.
"She stepped up to lead us with three solid rounds on a difficult golf course and could have shot even lower if a few more putts would have fallen for her," O'Neil said.
Five other Jayhawks placed in the top 50. Freshmen Nadia Lutter shot a final round score of 78 strokes to finish tied for 22nd and place freshman Gabriella Di-Marco shot a final round score of 79 to place tied for 24th with sophomore Meghan Potee.
Junior Audrey Yowell finished tied for 38th place after shooting a final round score of 77 strokes. Sophomore Michelle Woods finished 43rd and Senior Katy Nugent placed tied for 46th place.
The Jayhawks will play in their next tournament on Oct. 3, when they will travel to Columbia, Mo., to compete in the Johnie Ames Invitational.
"We have a quick turn around before heading to Missouri so we will spend the majority of
our time working on putting and short game," O'Neil said in the news release. "Old Hawthorne is a good test and we are looking forward to competing there next week."

Jayhawks start prepping after needed bye week
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Having this bye week just before conference play, it gave us a time to actually figure out exactly what we want to do," linebacker Darius Willis said, "exactly how we want to attack."
After a blowout loss to Georgia Tech two weeks ago, Kansas had a week off to ruminate over one of the worst defensive performances in school history. The numbers are startling and sobering, but they also proved to be a rallying cry — cue another cliche — for a team in need of a spark.
The Jayhawks believe they've ironed out many of their ills in the 10 days since the 66-24 loss to the Yellow Jackets. It's a good thing, too, because they open Big 12 play on Saturday against Texas Tech, which has added a stout running game to what has long been a prolific pass offense.
Circle the wagons and rally the troops. The clichés rolled off the tongues of just about every member of the Jayhawks' football team Tuesday afternoon, and with good reason.
"It brought us together, this bye week, and showed us where we can be," Willis said.
Which is anywhere besides where they were two weeks ago in Atlanta.
Georgia Tech ran for 604 yards and seven touchdowns against Kansas, putting two players over 100 yards on a combined 10 carries. As a team, the Yellow Jackets averaged more than the 12 yards per rushing attempt, and quarterback Tevin Washington was so ruthlessly effective that he completed just
"Coach Shealy knows what he's doing," Opurum said. "He's going to allow us to bring more pressure, and that's what he likes to do. He likes to be an attacker on defense, and these next few ballgames, you'll see that, and we'll have a better ballgame on Saturday."
"We all know we're a better defense than we've shown," said Toben Opurum, who is tied for eighth nationally in tackles for loss, giving the defense some semblance of a bright spot.
Now, the Jayhawks get to face the nation's ninth-ranked passing offense in Texas Tech and a quarterback in Seth Doege who is putting up video game-like numbers. Two weeks ago, he set an NCAA record by completing 40 of his 44 passes (90.9 percent), five of them for touchdowns.
Hard to believe that it could be much worse.
Kansas struggled in season-opening wins over McNeese State and Northern Illinois, but nothing to that extent. And it's caused plenty of heat for first-year defensive coordinator Vic Shealy.
Coach Turner Gill wouldn't speak specifically about what has changed over the bye week, but he
four passes for 164 yards and two more touchdowns.
The Jayhawks are allowing an average of 282 yards rushing per game and 550 yards of total offense, both dead last in the nation. The pass defense ranks 102nd out of 120 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and it's only that good because teams like Georgia Tech have run so successfully against Kansas that they haven't had to throw the ball a whole lot.
"I think it was good for us to just kind of regroup," Gill said. "Now we have a pretty good idea what we need to improve on, what our strengths are, so I think it was good for us to have that time (during the bye) to sit down and really evaluate a little deeper."
Part of that has to do with the offenses — the Yellow Jackets are run-oriented; the Red Raiders rely on the pass. But part of it also has to do with the fact that what Kansas was doing wasn't working.
"That's hard to do when you're in the middle of the week and you have to prepare for a game," Gill said. "But I'm glad we had it and I think we did some things to improve our football team."
did acknowledge that playing time may be spread around differently than in the first three games, and that there has been an overhaul in the defensive scheme put in place.
While it's easy to hang heads and point fingers after the blitzing put on by Georgia Tech, Gill said he's noticed none of that in the locker room or on the practice field. He praised the few senior leaders for bringing the team together during the bye week — for circling the wagons and rallying the troops — and promised that the positive mindset will yield positive results soon enough.
"Our guys are resilient," Gill said. "They came back, they were eager to be taught, they want to be taught football. They want to know what I, what we, can do to be a better football team, and that's what you want to see. They came back here ready to work, and that's what you got to do."
REALIGNMENT
Pickens warns of Big 12 trouble if Missouri leaves
Oklahoma State billionaire booster T. Boone Pickens said the Big 12 is in trouble if Misouri leaves.
Missouri has been rumored to possibly follow Texas A&M to the SEC. In San Antonio on Tuesday, Pickens said
"we got a real problem" if Missouri doesn't stay in the Big 12.
The oil magnate has given Oklahoma State's football program hundreds of millions of dollars and kept vocal during the latest round of college realignment. Pickens also says TCU and Houston are the most sensible replacements for the Big 12.
The Aggies will begin playing in the SEC next year.
Five Big 12 teams are ranked in the Top 25 — which Pickens says makes it unusual that the conference is "falling apart."

As NHL's prospects rise, so do Kansas City's
Coming off one of the most exhilarating postseasons in its history, the NHL will lase its skates again for the 2011-12 season starting on Oct. 6. With no professional basketball games in the foreseeable future because of the NBA lockout, the NHL will be the only professional sports league complementing the NFL during winter, possibly raising the sport's profile.

cjmatson@kansan.com
Arguably the top story during the NHL offseason was the Atlanta Thrashers' decision to relocate to Winnipeg and rename its franchise the Jets. Winnipeg once had an NHL franchise nicknamed the Jets, but it relocated to Phoenix in 1996 and became the Phoenix Coyotes. No sport has undergone more franchise relocations than the NHL, but one city is hoping for another franchise move: Kansas City.
Back in the early 1970s, the NHL awarded Kansas City with an expansion team nicknamed the Scouts. The Scouts entered the NHL in 1974, but stayed in Kansas City for only two seasons because of financial struggles, poor fan support, lousy ownership and losing. The franchise moved to Colorado and changed its nickname to the Rockies, but relocated again to New Jersey in 1982. It was renamed the Devils. Since 1982, the New Jersey Devils have appeared in four Stanley Cup finals and won three.
The NHL has given Kansas City an opportunity to redeem itself by hosting preseason
games in the Sprint Center. Built in 2007, the Sprint Center has hosted college basketball games as well as NBA and NHL preseason games, but besides the Kansas City Command of the Arena Football League, it lacks a tenant. This makes Kansas City an attractive destination for any franchise considering relocation.
Kansas City is a small sports market that doesn't possess a passion for hockey, but its sports fans are hungry for a winter sports team, which has been lacking since 1985 when the Kansas City Kings, an NBA team, moved to Sacramento. The Royals and Chiefs have disappointed Kansas City sports fans for many years, forcing them to become bandwagon fans during the NHL season. An NFL franchise in Kansas City could cultivate hockey in the Kansas City metropolitan area, but all of this is moot if a potential ownership group doesn't express interest in moving a
team to the heart of America. However, two teams that could potentially move to Kansas City include the Florida Panthers and the New York Islanders.
FLORIDA PANTHERS
Hockey in South Florida is a very hard sell. It's already hard enough for other South Florida teams to fill their facilities to capacity because of the magnificent weather and non-native residents who root for their hometown teams, so attendance at Florida Panthers hockey games has been low for several years. It has been tough for the franchise to make revenue. Losing, combined with poor attendance, fan support and low team revenue means relocation. Forbes ranked the Panthers 22nd of 30 teams in team value at $168 million. The average attendance last year was 15,685, which was ranked 22nd of 30 teams by ESPN. Their 86.6 percent capacity percentage was among the worst in the NHL last season. The Panthers have not qualified for the postseason since the 1999-2000 season.
This once proud franchise that won four consecutive Stanley Cup titles from 1979-1983 has struggled mightily in many facets. Since their inception in
NEW YORK ISLANDERS
1972, the New York Islanders have played in the venerable Nassau Coliseum, but the arena is severely out-of-date. The New York Post reported Nassau County voters recently rejected a referendum to build a new arena and the islanders lease at Nassau Coliseum expires in 2015. Last year's average attendance was a woeful 11,059, and their attendance capacity percentage was 81.5 percent, the worst in the NHL according to ESPN. Their $151 million team value is 26th in the NFL, according to Forbes. The team is also putting a bad product on the ice and has missing the postseason in five of the last six seasons.

EARLY WAKE UP CALL
Edited by Jason Bennett
Jason King, former Kansas sports beat writer for the Kansas City Star and current national college basketball columnist at Yahooli Sports, talked with me about his upcoming book, "Beyond the Phog," which hits shelves tomorrow. King will be at Jock's Nitch in Lawrence, signing the book from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. He'll also be at the Kansas Union Bookstore at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, before the Texas Tech game. He'll also be on the KJHK show "The League" today at 6 p.m. to discuss the book
For more information on "Beyond the Phog," visit kubook.net.
Q: How long have you been working on the book?
A: I decided two weeks after my second child was born in May to do it. I was just at home all summer. It's something that I've wanted to do for a long time, just because I knew there were so many stories about Kansas players, about things that went on behind the scenes that no one ever knew about.

MIKE GUINNEO/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
A: A lot of the NBA players that I talked to really talked about how they didn't realize how much they loved it until they got into the NBA. They like the NBA, they like the money, but boy they miss the lifestyle at Kansas. They miss the love. They miss the camaraderie. I interviewed Brandon Rush and we were talking and he had a real honest moment. We were talking and I thought he was done answering the question I was asking him about Kansas, and I started asking him a new question about something totally different and he interrupted me. He goes, 'I miss it man, I miss Kansas so bad.' I didn't provoke him to say that, he looked me dead in the eye, which sometimes he doesn't always do and he goes 'Man I miss it so bad.'
Q: Were you surprised at how open
Roy Williams was with you?
Q: Was there on consistent theme or message that each player wanted to make sure they got across?
A: He's a guy that I still talk to frequently just because of my job with Yahoo! He was pretty open and honest, I will say the coaches, both he and Bill Self, are a little more guarded with what they say. They're not going to come out and speak negatively about anyone, which is totally understandable and expected. He did say, in the chapter, that if he had known how bad he was going to feel after telling his Kansas players that he was leaving, if he would've known how sick it made him, he never would have done it. Who knows if he means it, I thought it was pretty candid. He actually got emotional a few times talking about certain situations during our interview right there in the gym. He wasn't keeled over crying, but he definitely teared up a few times.
A. I didn't realize just how hard these guys work. The thing that tops it all off is the stress, the pressure, having to go out there and perform, Jeff Boschee told me that he said, when he graduated, after he played his last game, the very next week he was supposed to be at the Portsmouth Invitational, in front of a bunch of scouts that watch guys that are on the bubble as far as being drafted or not. He got invited to go to that, and he just skipped out. He said he was just burned out, he did not want to see a basketball, he said he didn't touch a basketball for a year. That's telling.
Q: What raised your eyebrows about the program?

Freshman guard Merv Lindsay sat in his bed in the jayhawk Towers with eyes wide open the night before coach Bill Self's boot camp started.
"I couldn't go to sleep," Lindsay said. "I was so anxious."
Self's boot camp begins every day at 6 a.m. and lasts between 45 minutes and an hour. The training, which never involves a basketball and spans from Monday until next Friday, includes defensive slides, close-out drills, backboard taps, lots of running and whatever else Self can think of.
"Boot camp is all the stuff that we really don't want to do that has to do with basketball," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "It's not the fun stuff."
Former stars Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Wayne Simien were in town for the Legends of the Phog exhibition last weekend and spent some time warning the freshmen about boot camp. Lindsay said they told him to get some sleep. Junior forward Thomas Robinson and Taylor told him that boot camp is when training "gets real."
Freshman guard Christian Garrett learned the definition of real on Monday, when he puked in a trash can next to the practice court after a running drill.
"I gave him a little pour of water on the neck to cool him off", senior Guard Conner Teahan said.
Taylor said that other than that incident, Garrett has shown no signs of slowing down.
After Late Night at the Phog on Oct. 14, Self's practices will show no mercy.
"As older guys, we've got to smack them on the butt and tell them they can do it," Taylor said. "Boost them up a little bit."
"If you went right into practicing the way we practice after late night, you wouldn't be able to handle it." Teahan said.
Boot camp serves as a way to prepare for those practices and as a barometer of the team's current condition.
"Everybody was in decent shape," Lindsay said. "But now we're getting into Kansas basketball season shape."
With the departure of the Morris twins and Josh Selby to the NBA and
with Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed now playing in Europe, Self cannot rely on skills alone to trump opponents. When playing against premier talent such as Anthony Davis of Kentucky or Jared Sullinger of Ohio State, Kansas could benefit from having an extra burst of energy in crunch time. Boot camp
can provide that extra burst.
"If you can get through this, you can get through anything," Taylor said.
Self doesn't give his players any formal breath, but Taylor said that every once in a while he sneaks a sip of water. However, Taylor said he wishes the training was in the
"I think that's the toughest part," he said of the 6 a.m. start.
afternoon instead of before the sun rises.
Self has been barking at everyone, catching minor details that may seem trivial, but make a difference to him.
"I got caught slipping a couple of
times," Lindsay said.
Lindsay said he knows that self's yells only bring the best out of talented athletes.
"We've got goals this year, Lindsay said. "So we've got to work toward them."

Kansas defense still searching for an identity
29
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
During Monday's Big 12 media teleconference, Texas Tech coach Tommy Tubercville said that the Kansas football team resembled his team in the sense that both schools are still looking for their identity.
While the Kansas football team hasn't entirely found their identity, some pieces are coming together.
"From our perspective were probably trying to find our identity on more of the defensive stand-point," Gill said. "We're figuring out our personnel and what our guys can do."
When coach Turner Gill was asked about Tuberville's statement, he agreed — for the most part.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAP
It's tough to argue with Gill, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 44 points per game this season.
"The defense that we've put out on the field the past Saturdays isn't really the defense we were capable of being." Opurum said. "I feel like with this bye week, we've been able to work better on our fundamentals and techniques and come this Saturday we'll look like a different defense really."
While the defense has been searching for their identity, the offense has had one all season.
Besides giving up a large number of points, the Kansas defense has often given up plays, because of a defender's mistake.
Junior defensive lineman Toben Opurum is confident that the work the team put in during bye week will pay huge dividends against Texas Tech this Saturday.
The Jayhawks have run the ball 90 more times than they have thrown it, giving the offense a physical mentality. When Kansas has the ball, they like to run it. Then run it again. And run it some more.
"For us, when we're most successful, is whenever we're playing really physical," Webb said. "If our guys are blocking well we're going to be able to spring a lot of big runs and that's going to open up the passing game."
That is exactly what Kansas has been able to do.
Webb has the fifth highest quarterback rating in the NCAA because, in large part, of his ability to make the big play. Webb is averaging 9.7 yards per pass attempt, which shows that the big play has been opened up by the dominant rushing attack. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said an offense typically strives for an average attempt of six to seven yards.
"It's just having a plan, having a recruiting plan, and developing that
plan and staying with it. We felt like we recruited some good young running backs and we wanted to play to that," Long said.
12
Early into Gill's second season at Kansas, an identity is starting to form. While the defense is a long way away from finding theirs, they at least know what identity they'd
like to one day have.
"The biggest thing for me, is to be an attacking defense," Oparum said. "If we do that, we'll have a better opportunity to create turnovers, which will help us when more games this year."

ADMINISTRATIVE SHUFFLE
PROVOSTS REORGANIZED
ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
The dismantling of the Office of the Vice Provost of Student Success resembles a game of musical chairs. Yet University officials said the moves are intended to fill other empty seats on campus: the ones left by low student retention rates.
The University announced a reorganization on Sept. 9 that creates four new provost positions but leaves
Gavin Young, provost communications coordinator, said the University made the moves to help improve retention and graduation rates.
The newly created units — the vice provost for student affairs, the vice provost for enrollment management, the vice provost for diversity and equity and a future vice provost for undergraduate education — can focus more on specific segments of the University's new strategic plan rolled out on Sept. 14 called Bold Aspirations.
"We're looking for ways to expand on the first-year experience," he said.
four positions, including the Vice Provost for Student Success, unfilled. Marlesa Roney, the former student success vice provost, informed the University she was stepping down during the summer.
"What we are trying to do with the change is to position the units to attack those goals and the goals that are outlined in the strategic plan," Young said.
The University hopes these changes will improve low retention and graduation rates, while also improving students' overall college experience.
Young said the departments will focus on helping students with stronger recruitment programs and better student orientation and services.
the Provost instead of to the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success.
Currently, 61 percent of students attain degrees in six years or less at the University. Twenty percent of
freshmen drop out. Both of these numbers rank among the lowest in the Big 12.
Young said no employees lost their jobs in the reorganization but only transferred departments.
'rankings are important because people look at the rankings, but that's not why you make the changes," Young said. "You don't increase your graduation and retention rates because it's good for your rankings, but because it's good for your students."
"It's like the chancellor likes to say,

is to arum betowers more
Marlesa Roney, former Vice Provest of Student Success, said she made the decision to step down after an administrative teaching position became available at the University.
"My career plan has always been to end my career in a teaching position," Roney said. "It's very rewarding to work with young professionals who want to work in a university setting."
Roney said that the biggest adjustment for her would be the extra free time.
"For 17 years I have pretty much had back-to-back meetings every day," she said "Now my entire day is not packed back-to-back-to-back."
Roney will also receive three months off each summer. She said she hadn't made any plans yet for her vacation period, but promised she would come up with them by the first of May.
Roney worked for nine years with the University's administration.
PETER SCHNEIDER
Provost
BY THE NUMBERS
With the movements and shake-ups, four employees, Matt Melvin, Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, Tammara Durham and Jason Hornberger, take over new positions and responsibilities. According to Young these four will receive raises amounting to $97,000.
Roney Resigned
The savings of not filling Roney's position amount to $111,000 after accounting for Roney's new salary of $75,000 as a professor. These $111,000 in savings offset the raises and put the University $14,000 in the black for the next year.
trunk
While Young said the finances of the reorganization were not the main issue, the change may save in some short-term money for the University.
However, a number of positions, including the future vice provost of undergraduate education, are either not filled or are filled an interim basis. It remains unclear in the future if the reorganization will either cost or gain the University money.

Theater Lawrence to reenact Clyde Barrow's robbery of First National Bank
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
History, some say, is cyclical. And this Friday at Teller's restaurant, 746 Massachusetts St., a little-known piece of Lawrence history repeats itself as members of Theater Lawrence reenact the heist that began Clyde Barrow's bank-robbing career.
Teller's, the Eldridge Hotel and Theater Lawrence are working together to stage the reenactment to inform and entertain the Lawrence community. Lawrence actor Shawn Trimble plays the role of Barrow.
THE HISTORY
"Clyde is an interesting character," Trimble said. "He doesn't fit the stereotypical East-Coast, Brooklyn-accented figure that a lot of us evoke in our memories. He's a Texan. He's charismatic, good-natured, a little devilish, but by all accounts a personable individual when you encountered him — as long as you weren't standing between him and his goal."
In April of 1932, Barrow — just two months after a two-year stint in a Texas prison — and two cohorts were driving north from Texas to Minnesota to rob a bank. The Great Depression had led to the closure of thousands of banks and left many
Barrow typically worked with Bonnie Parker, and the two led the Depression Era's most notorious gang as they tore through the Midwest on a two-year robbery and murder spree. But Barrow's trip to Lawrence didn't include Parker.
After reaching the town, however, a snowstorm complicated the group's escape route and they decided to head back south. On the journey southward, the driver, Ralph Fults, became tired and decided to stop at a town they drove through on their way to Minnesota — a little city named Lawrence.

outside the bank in the stolen Ford getaway car. After a few minutes, Barrow and Fults exited the bank with two sacks of money containing roughly $33,000 — the equivalent of about half a million dollars today. Cash in hand, the robbers drove across the Kansas-Missouri state line toward St. Louis.
The following morning, Barrow and Fults greeted the bank's president and two employees with sawed-off shotguns and .45 caliber pistols. Raymond Hamilton waited

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
WASHINGTON
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says Egypt's military leaders should lift the country's emergency laws as soon as possible.
Egypt's interim government recently extended the Hosni Mubarak-era laws into the middle of 2012. But Clinton says the U.S. hopes to see the laws lifted sooner so a democratic system of checks and balances can be established.
Clinton spoke Wednesday after meeting with *Evoji Foreign Minister Muhammed Amr.
She voiced support for Egypt's attempts to defuse tensions with Israel after protesters recently stormed the Israeli Embassy in Cairo.
The pair said they discussed investment opportunities in Egypt and Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
UNITED NATIONS
Amr criticized Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, and urged resumption in negotiations as soon as possible "with clear terms of reference and a clear timeline."
The Security Council took its first official step Wednesday to consider the Palestinians' request for U.N. membership.
Lebanese Ambassador Nawaf Salam, who holds this month's rotating council presidency, announced that he was forwarding the Palestinians' request to the committee on new admissions, which includes all 15 member states on the council.
The step is required by council rules of procedure.
The committee will meet to consider the request for membership on Friday.
Palestinian U.N. envoy Riyad Mansour thanked the council for quickly and unanimously agreeing to act on the Palestinian application.
"we hope this process not to take too long before we see positive action," he told reporters.
The process could take weeks before it comes to a final vote in the council.
BOSTON
A 26-year-old Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with large remote-controlled aircraft filled with explosives.
Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials he'd requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive.
Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen and graduate of Boston's Northeastern University, was scheduled to appear in federal court in Worcester (WUS'-tur) on Wednesday afternoon.
A message for comment was left for his attorney Catherine Byrne.
According to the federal affidavit, Ferdaus began planning "jihad" against the U.S. in early 2010. He allegedly believed he would have a large psychological impact by killing Americans, whom he described as "enemies of Allah."
PRISTINA. KOSOVO
A key protected witness in a war crimes trial in Kosovo has been found dead in Germany, and he apparently committed suicide, officials said Wednesday.
Nicholas Hawton, an EU spokesman in Kosovo, said Agim Zogaj's body was discovered in a park in a German city.
German police confirmed that, saying the witness is believed to have hanged himself late Tuesday in the Duisburg, western Germany. "He committed suicide. There are no indications for a different explanation," police spokesman Stefan Bauer said. But he also said an autopsy will be carried out Thursday.
Zogaj was known as "protected witness X" in the war crimes trial against a former ethnic Albanian rebel commander and now a senior politician, Fatmir Limai.
Zogaj was granted protected witness status in return for his testimony in the Limai trial.

Portrait of American bank robbers Clyde Barrow (1909 - 1934) and Bonnie Parker (1911 - 1934), popularly known as Bonnie and Clive, circa 1933.
lege in Fort Worth, Texas, and author of "Running with Bonnie and Clyde: The Ten Fast Years of Ralph Fults," said in an e-mail that during his interviews Fults explicitly described the Lawrence robbery.
Last spring, Tom Wilson, owner of Teller's restaurant at 746 Massachusetts St., was approached by a customer with some documents regarding the history of his restaurant's building. Retired University of Kansas professor Ray Souza said that after reading Phillip's book "Running with Bonnie and Clyde," he wanted to share his discovery with Wilson.
"Do you realize that this was the first bank that Clyde Barrow robbed?" Souza asked.
"That's interesting — how many are in your party?" Wilson replied.
THE BACKGROUND
"Ralph was always crystal clear about every detail of this Lawrence robbery," Phillips wrote. "He was adamant that the place was Lawrence, the perpetrators were he, Barrow, and Hamilton, and the take was $33K."
To corroborate Fults' statements on the Lawrence robbery, Phillips spoke with three eyewitnesses that knew Barrow, Hamilton and Fults had committed a robbery in late March or early April 1932. Phillips said that everything Fults told him about the robbery checked out, including things he didn't believe at first.
Wilson said that at first he dismissed Souza's claims, but after researching the bank robbery he's convinced of its truth.
One theory of why the robbery was unreported is that it was in the bank's interest to avoid attention of the event. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was not yet founded and account-holders' money was not federally insured. A robbery could represent an insecure bank which might have caused depositors to withdraw their money.
"He brought me all this information and for the next six months' I studied and tried to trip myself up. I didn't want to announce this to the world if it wasn't true." Wilson said. "I'm ironclad, as sure as it can be now that this was the first bank that he robbed."
After investigating the robbery, Wilson spoke with Patti McCormick, director of media and special events for the Eldridge Hotel, about coordinating an event to inform the Lawrence community.
"One of my concerns was: Did this really happen? There was
Once McCormick confirmed that the robbery took place, she approached Theater Lawrence about staging a reenactment of the robbery.
Kay Traver, market development coordinator for Theater Lawrence, said she was thrilled when McCormick asked the theater to do a production.
really no record of it with police, the LJ-World or the bank. We had to do a lot of research to find out if this really happened," McCormick said. "Once we found out it was a real event, we both said, 'Let's try to stage it and reenact it.'"
"It's something that could have been lost and forgotten," Traver said. "But because of a few determined individuals we're able to bring out this really cool event."
THE COLLABORATION
The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., will be hosting a cocktail party from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m. this Friday where guests can meet the actors portraying Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker, Ralph Fults and Raymond Hamilton. Afterward, Barrow and Fults will walk down Massachusetts Street with unloaded sawed-off shotguns, hold-up the bank president and rob the vault. Hamilton will wait in the getaway car, which is the same 1933 Ford used in the movie "O Brother, Where Art
Thou," and drive north across the Second Street bridge.
McCormick said that in order to accomplish the reenactment, which uses real guns and closes Massachusetts Street traffic temporarily, she had to pitch the idea to the Lawrence City Commission.
Aron Cromwell, Mayor of Lawrence, will be performing as the First National Bank president, William Docking. Cromwell said he was unaware that Barrow began robbing banks in Lawrence and thinks the history would intrigue the community.
"We're always interested in our history in Lawrence. It wouldn't surprise me to see this reenactment becomes a regular feature," Cromwell said. "Not that we're celebrating bank robbery, but more appreciating our town's place in history."
Tom Wilson said that Teller's diners will watch as Barrow and Fults guide president Docking by gun-point to the vault, which now holds the restaurant's bathrooms, to snag the bags of cash. Wilson said that he hopes the reenactment becomes an annual event in Lawrence, and plans to team up with the Eldridge to offer hotel and dinner packages.

and faculty at the University. It also allows its businesses access to the funds it receives from local, state and federal government agencies. Some products these tenants are developing include a drug for ovarian cancer and a software program for managing legislation for the government.
Matthew McClorey, executive director of the BTBC, said the entrepreneurial skills his staff provides help create strong businesses in the area.
"The University has assets that [potential] companies wants access to," McClorey said. "This is about getting a large company to establish a site here in this community."
Having these companies in Lawrence and on KU's campuses helps to provide jobs for students and members of the community, as well as helping to keep these new businesses local.
"Without this support system of facilities and services, technologies developed at the University would be exported out of state to another company," McClory said. "This is creating opportunities for students to stay here and work here, as opposed to leave the state. Why should you have to go to California to work with a software company?"
John Ferguson, a computer programmer for Garmin, works at the BTBC at its main facility on West Campus. Unlike small start-up companies that need help launching their businesses, Garmin rented space at the incubator for other reasons.

"We wanted to build relationships with the University and set up an office where we can bring in potential future employees," Ferguson said.

Campus FedEx Office to close

Student Senate Treasurer David Cohen announced in his member report Wednesday that the FedEx office in the Kansas Union will be shutting down, Cohen is working with University officials to replace FedEx with another organization that will work to maintain similar student fees.
"Keeping students' money on campus where it's convenient is very important to me." Cohen said.
In addition to the closing announcement, three guest speakers and organizations kicked off Wednesday's Student Senate meeting with presentations, including the School of Engineering Student Council.
School of Engineering Student Council President Amir Bachelani said that transparency with Student Senate, which funds various Engineering clubs throughout the academic year, is important to him. The purpose of the Engineering Student Council's presentation was to show off previous projects including
"You don't get to have donations from a company and not show them your progress," Bachelani said. "The same applies with Student Senate."
Presidents, team leaders and members from KU EcoHawks and Engineers Without Borders also attended the presentation. Senior Phillip Twist from Morris, Okla., has been working with Jayhawk Motor Sports Club for two years. Last year, Twist designed and built the carbon fiber monolith rims that reduced rotational mass and improved performance and fuel economy.
"This is my baby right here," Twist told senators. "The less it takes to spin the wheel, the better it is for everyone. This is the future."
Bachelani said he thinks that in order to continue to recruit the best and the brightest students, funding is essential.
This year Twist is responsible for building the chassis, or the body of the car, in his senior design project class. Of the 70 members of Jayhawk Motor Sports, 36 are getting credit from the club. The president of EcoHawks, Ryan King, said these engineering clubs offer more for students than just credit.
Jayhawk Motor Sporting Club's first place winning car and an airplane built by Jayhawk Heavylift.
"In class you learn a lot of theory but in the work place you have to apply theory to make something and to get a result," King said, "We are able to design and build a project from the bottom up, testing all of the design stages like we would in a real job."
"We can make more informed decisions on how to better serve the University by having these people come speak, so thank you to them," Cohen said.
"Showing that students can make the fastest race car in the world, build an airplane or go to Bolivia inspires and creates some of the best and brightest in the industry," Bachelani said.
Cohen said that having guest speakers is important for senators to hear from students and administration about the business processes that go on at the University.

Students in task force list never contacted

On Tuesday the University released the final report from KU's Americans with Disabilities Act task force. The report is the outcome of several months of committee meetings among more than 100 members of the University community, according to KU's press release.
In the report, under each of the six subcommittees' titles are the names of at least one KU student. The names are marked with an asterisk; a note on the bottom reads: "Student representatives appointed after the sub-groups were established may not have participated in sub-group meetings."
Preston Brown's name can be found under the Academic Accommodations sub-group.
Brown, a sophomore from Wichita,
said he told KU's ADA-Title IX
At least one KU student served on each of the six subcommittees, said Fred Rodriguez, co-chair of the task force. Rodriguez said it's likely that some people in the subcommittees could not make all the meetings. The students involved in each of the subcommittees should have been part of the contact list, Rodriguez said.
Elizabeth Bore, a senior from Leawood, was appointed to the Employment sub-group. She said she emailed Rodriguez earlier this month about the subcommittee meetings and was told that they still had not met this year. Bore said she was surprised to find her name listed in the report.
"They played an absolutely critical role in what we did," Rodriguez said.
Coordinator that he would participate in one of the ADA task force subcommittees back in March.
Although he gave the coordinator his contact information, Brown said he never received an email or phone call to tell him when the subcommittee meetings were.

Co-chair of the task force, Fred Rodriguez, said students had a voice in bringing issues to the task force's attention.
Student Services and Programs subgroup chair, Mary Ann Rasnak, said the student in her subcommittee attended at least half of the meetings. Rasnak said her subcommittee worked around the student's schedule to ensure she was able to attend as many meetings as possible.
"Most of us never heard anything and are waiting to be invited to our first meeting," Bore said. "We were promised involvement."
"We met as a task force every few weeks. In between the meetings we had were separate subcommittee meetings." Rasnak said.

Nominees expand rock'n'roll genre
Nevertheless, it is an interesting group with the classic 1970s the R&B and disco of Summer, the Spinners, and Rufus with Chaka Khan mingling with goth's first entry, the Cure, along with late folly songstress Nyro and the hardcore hip-hop of Eric B. & Rajim.
MUSIC
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
For music fans who have lost interest in the induction process, perhaps the knowledge that the 2012 ceremony will be held April 14 in Cleveland (tickets go on sale to the public in December) will bring you back to the fold.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation released the list of nominees for 2012 induction Tuesday, and its eclecticism continues the voting body's widening of the definition of rock 'n' roll.
The nominees are: Beastie Boys, the Cure, Donauon, Eric B. & Rakim, Guns N' Roses, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Freddie King, Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rufus with Chaka Khan, the Small Faces/The Faces, the Spinners, Denna Summer and War. Of those, Beastie Boys, Summer, Donauon, the Peppers and War are repeat nominees.
Acts are eligible for enrhinement 25 years after the release of their first single or album and will be voted in or out by the foundation's more than 500 voters.
Part of the fun is handicapping which artists will eventually walk the red carpet, step on stage and give a speech come next spring, so let's have at it, shall we?
A few of these folks' chances appear pretty slim. Disco queen Summer will likely have to wait, but she will probably be able to commiserate with Detroit vocal group the Spinners, who under the guidance of producer Thom Bell gave the world "Rubberband Man," "They Just Can't Stop It the (Games People Play)," "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love," "One of a Kind (Love Affair)" and "Working My Way Back to You/Forgive Me, Girl."
Also likely to remain on the nominee list are Rufus with Chaka Khan, who had big hits with the Stevie Wonder-written "Tell Me Something Good," "Ain't Nobody" and the oft-covered "Stay." Khan would probably have a better chance of getting in as a solo artist (her debut was released in 1978), but as yet the 10-time Grammy winner hasn't been nominated.
The Afro-Latin band War is one of the few R&B groups whose songs get played on classic-rock radio (specifically "Low Rider" and "Cisco Kid") and through much of the 1970s they brought a nice Latin soul flair to their run of hits.

Rooney will sign off with a final piece — his 1,097th — on Sunday's program, preceded by a retrospective segment on his career with longtime colleague Morley Safer, the network said in a news release Tuesday.
In addition to his own often attention-grabbing views — he once scolded those who mourned the 1994 suicide of Kurt Cobain by saying he'd never even heard of the Nirvana frontman before then — Rooney is one of the last on-air links to the glory days of CBS News, when "60 Minutes" regularly topped the ratings and anchorman Walter
"There's nobody like Andy and there never will be. He'll hate hearing this, but he's an American original," Jeff Fager, the chairman of CBS News and executive producer of "60 Minutes," said in a statement. "It's harder for him to do it every week, but he will always have the ability to speak his mind on '60 Minutes' when the urge hits him."
Virtually all of Rooney's on-air colleagues from when he joined "60 Minutes" in 1978 — including Mike Wallace, Harry Reasoner and Ed Bradley — have either retired or died; only Safer, 79, and Bob Schieffer, the 74-year-old host of "Face the Nation," remain at work.

Theaters complain about 3-D expenses
Instead, Sony wants theaters to follow a policy that's already common in other parts of the world. Having consumers pay for their own disposable 3-D glasses, either to rent for each movie or to own a pair they can take home. Consumers already pay a premium of about $3 dollars for each 3-D movie ticket.
The National Association of Theatre Owners, the country's largest trade group of exhibitors, has lashed out at Sony Pictures concerning its plans to stop footing the bill for 3-D glasses and pass the expense on to moviegoers. However, Sony may not be alone in its crusade for long, as at least one other studio is considering following suit.
Such costs can add up to more than $10 million for particularly popular films.
Sony recently sent a letter to cinema owners informing them that as of May 1, 2012, it will no longer pay 3-D technology companies such as RealD the average cost of 50 cents per ticket for 3-D glasses used by moviegoers. Sony has two big 3-D movies coming out after May 1 next year: "Men in Black III" and "The Amazing Spider-Man."
After news of the letter surfaced in the Hollywood Reporter, exhibitors fired back Wednesday morning with a letter decrying the move. "NATO believes Sony's suggestion is insensitive to our patrons, particularly in the midst of continuing economic distress," the group said. "Sony's actions raise serious concerns for our members who believe that provision of 3D glasses to patrons is well established as part of the 3D experience."
In addition Amy Miles, chief executive of Regal Entertainment Group — the nation's largest theater circuit — said her chain might show fewer 3-D films if it was forced to bear the cost of glasses.

Externships needed to help local schools
University of Kansas staff, students and administration should do more to help surrounding elementary and secondary school districts.
Education in Kansas City has taken a big blow as the Missouri State Board of Education revoked the Kansas City, Mo., school system's accreditation. Kansas City now joins St. Louis as major Missouri cities with non-accredited school districts. The move was made by state officials to put the system on notice and allow it time — two years — to recover after making only three out of the 14 performance standard benchmarks set by the state.
All Missouri jokes aside, this is a serious setback that affects the University; the Kansas City area feeds more than 800 students to the University. It's only 40 miles away from the Lawrence campus and hosts the largest University medical center. If students aren't taught well at the primary and secondary
level, they'll be less prepared for college.
Additionally, a report from the Kansas State Department of Education states that high school dropouts from the class of 2006 "cost the state more than $2.6 million in lost wages, taxes, and productivity over their lifetimes."
The University shouldn't start pumping money to fix Kansas City's problems with finding a permanent superintendent and increasing academic performance; that's the responsibility of the school system's board and Missouri. But it does have resources that can help.
The University's departments should organize more externships to local school districts, including Lawrence and Kansas City. Liberal arts and education majors may be able to help out in classrooms, but engineers and architects can design school buildings and machines. Medical students can conduct local free clinics for children. Business and
law majors can draft business models and long range plans for school boards.
These externships will give University students valuable experience, especially if they can't find jobs and internships related to their field of study because of the stagnant economy. The University also will invest in the Kansas community, a priority in its mission statement, and indirectly advertise the KU brand, leading to greater University pride. Future students may be more inclined to choose the University over Kansas State, Missouri and other Big 12 institutions if they interact with University students as they grow up.
The University can become a unique asset to the state and local school districts, but it requires initiative from the University community.

LETTER to the EDITOR
Letter criticizing democrats is misguided
This letter is in response to the Sept. 26 letter sent to The Kansan by Monica Hart. In it, she attacks the Democratic leadership in our country, and spreads a good layer of fallacies about Republican proposals. This letter is to hopefully educate not only her, but the readers.
For starters, the Health Care Choice Act she references to was not in any way bipartisan, and would only have codified into law one singular thing; to allow consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines. Although this is an idea I don't disfavor, it fails to do one specific thing; insure more Americans. It is not a law that is anticipated to drive down insurance premiums, and most importantly it is not expected to change the staggering number of uninsured Americans. I would also point out that even under the Republican-controlled House prior to 2006 this was never passed through the legislature.
Furthermore, the assertion that Republicans have been consistently presenting bipartisan legislation prompts me to ask Ms. Hart a question. In the words of Barney Frank, "On
what planet do you spend the majority of your time?" The complete dissolution of Medicare and Social Security, the two major golden cows of the Democratic party, into totally new and uncharted programs is not a compromise. That is an overhaul of something one party clearly supports when it knows that the other party will never accept. Unfortunately for Ms. Hart, reality either eludes her due to her partisanship, or she deliberately ignores it.
Lastly, and this may come as a shock to the Constitution-toting Republicans, there was an election in 2008. The Republicans ran a candidate for the executive; the Democrats ran a candidate. The Republicans lost; the Democrats won. The House flipped in 2010, but the Senate stayed in control of the Democratic party. What I'm getting at it is fairly simple — the minority party does not have the right to set the national agenda. Ms. Hart, elections have consequences — that is one of them.
- that is one of them

TELEVISION
An actor's luck
I has to be hard to work in show business for Will Arnett. Or maybe it's incredibly easy, because he has only played one character his whole career. Arnett is best known for co-starring in Fox's "Arrested Development" as George Oscar Bluth II, or Gob (pronounced Jobe), an arrogant moron who helps hold back the family business. After the show was canceled (which is a recurring theme in his career), Arnett has had a hard time finding roles that are any different. The bigger problem, though, is that now he can't seem to find a steady job in real life.
Throughout Arnett's career, he has played the same Gob character in many guest appearances, supporting characters in movies and starring in a recently canceled Fox series, "Running Wilde". This is known as being typecasted. Arnett is constantly asked to play the role of a character that is much like the Gob character of "Arrested Development." Though his character is great for a guest appearance (which he has done on many shows including "30 Rock", "Parks and Recreation", and "The Office") Arnett just can't find a way to make it last.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Until now.
Finally, Arnett has found a place with NBC's "Up All Night" acting as a completely new character. Sure, he's still playing an idiot, but at least he isn't arrogant. Arnett plays the stay-at-home husband as Christina Appelgate plays the wife who is a hard working television show producer. The show centers on the couple's home and work lives as they have become parents to a newborn.
Though the show has only aired three episodes, it is clear that Arnett has broken free from the typecast. The problem is: Will the show last?
Since it is about a family dealing with a newborn, the demographic it attracts becomes limited. I'm sure a lot of the students on campus are not
interested in a show about becoming adults, caring for a child and realizing their youth is slipping away. Though Arnett's shows usually attract the younger demographic, this show does not, which may cause it to slip in ratings, and possibly be canceled.
If "Up All Night" doesn't last, Arnett will have starred in two shows that have been canceled in the past year. Sure, he might be able to find another chance on another sitcom; be able to guest star for awhile and let the time pass and minds forget his numerous amount of chances they've given him. He can ride that Gob train that "Arrested Development" has created for him, as Arnett has confirmed on the "WTF Podcast with Marc Maron" that there will definitely be an "Arrested Development" movie.
If the movie is finally made, (making thousands of fans, like myself, happy), Arnett will be staring down another problem: He is taking his typecast to the big screen. Arnett will once again be playing the exact character that has made and broke his career. If "Up All Night" doesn't allow Arnett to stay away from the Gob typecast, he could be looking at the end of the road.
Then again, he could just become a real stay-at-home husband and let his wife, Amy Poehler, bring home the bacon.

Dorsey returns, provides depth
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com

Kansas' defense received a much-needed boost when senior defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey returned to practice last week after sitting out since breaking his foot
Dorsey is expected to play on Saturday and will add experience to a young defense that ranks last in scoring defense in the Big 12.
M. B. KING
Dorsey
"It's going to help us out a lot," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "It will give us more depth on the D-line, and the D-line will be able to rotate. If the D-line keeps those offensive linemen off the linebackers, then we're going to create a pass rush and different holes will open up."
Dorsey could create a ripple effect across a Kansas defense that has forced an NCAA-low one turnover.
Dorsey was named Kansas' defensive player of the week twice last season, including in one of the layhawks' finest defensive performances of the season against Nebraska. Dorsey had four tackles and one forced fumble in that game.
"It's going to help a lot because it comes down to it, that penetration and that pressure on the quarterback allows the timing to get messed up, and that's when the interceptions come," sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said.
Whether Dorsey can make his presence known immediately will be seen on Saturday. He was still on crutches just three weeks ago, but Dorsey said he is 100 percent and ready to go.
"I hope he can play every snap Saturday," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. "We wouldn't do that to him, but you hope that he could."
Shealy said he would try to minimize Dorsev's snaps this week.
"I'd be easy as a coach to put him out there and let him go to see how he feels," Shealy said. "But as a coach we just need to be wise and let him work into it."
Shealy said although Dorsey is not the biggest guy — he weighs just 273 pounds at a position where players routinely weigh more than 300 pounds — but he possesses a unique combination of speed and strength that can challenge offensive linemen.
Dorsey has 35 career tackles in 21 games for the Jayhawks. Going into the season, he was a projected starter at defensive tackle.
Dorsey did not travel with the team to Atlanta and watched the game on TV.
I wish I was out there," Dorsey said. "But at the same time, I wasn't. We lost that game. It was a tough loss, but at the same time, we're going to bounce back this week."
He will now finally be able to bring his enthusiasm from the sideline to the field.
"I'm so excited," he said, "being a senior and being a part of this defense, to be able to help those guys."

Kansas State charged with stopping Baylor
MANHATTAN — Nothing like proving your worth as a defense with a game-winning goal line stand during a road game against a nationally recognized opponent. Now, Kansas State returns home to face a Heisman Trophy candidate and one of the best offenses in the country.
Life doesn't get any easier for the Wildcats against No. 15 Baylor on Saturday
While holding Eastern Kentucky to 129 yards of offense and Kent State to
199 in its first two games didn't elicit much national praise, Kansas State's 28-24 upset at Miami last Saturday certainly turned some heads.
"There was that doubt across the nation because we'd stopped some offenses, but we hadn't stopped any notable offences," defensive end Jordan Voelker said.
There was much ado about the speed of Miami's offense going into last week's game, especially after the Hurricanes knocked off nationally ranked Ohio State.

Former player returns to Kansas as assistant coach
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Coaches wish they were still players.
They miss putting on the jersey. They miss standing at midfield before the game

anthem plays and their adrenaline begins to build.
And they miss scraping and clawing for every minute because they don't want to leave behind any regrets.
Jessica Smith, 26, represented all these qualities when she played at
Kansas between 2002-2005. Now, in her first year as a full-time assistant coach, she's hoping to pass on those same traits to the current Jayhawks.
"As a coach, things are a lot different and as a player you don't realize all that goes into being a coach," Smith said. "It's been fun seeing the other side of it."
A team captain for two years at Kansas, Smith's passion for coaching started when she helped run the youth soccer camps.
"She's lived it and breathed it," coach Mark Francis said. "So I think it's easy for her to translate it, especially to recruiting, because she's been here and done it."
Other than recruiting, Smith also occasionally shows her soccer
skills by scrimmaging with the players during practice.
"I think we practiced Saturday and she had every single goal on our team," senior forward Kelsey Clifton said. "You'd think she wouldn't be as good since she hasn't played in a while, but she's awesome."
Although Smith crushes the competition in practice,it's a little more taxing physically than in her playing days.
"At the end of the day, in my heart, I'm a soccer player and I always will be," Smith said. "It's just now my body isn't working quite as well as it did when I was in college."
Kansas' players realize the reason she plays so hard against them
in practice is to improve the team.
"She makes it really competitive but also helps you out when you're playing to know what you did wrong," freshman midfielder Kelsey Lyden said.
After leaving the program upon graduation in 2006. Smith coached in the Kansas City area before coming back to Kansas in 2009 as a volunteer coach.
In her current position, she works with the Jayhawks with a hands-on coaching style. Throughout the week she teaches players during individual workouts and is a constant presence around the program.
"She knows if we're having an off drill or something," senior midfielder Jordyn Perdue said.
"But she also knows how to crack a joke and get us to smile and relax. She's a leader, and she wants to win, and you can work hard for someone like that."
Fine-tuning the players during the one-on-one sessions are an enjoyable part of Smith's job.
"How do you bring these elite athletes to their full potential and get them to the next level?" Smith said. "You have to be creative and figure out all sides of the game and figure out ways to keep pushing them to get better."
In addition, the individual workouts are beneficial to the players because they are able to open up with Smith on more than just soccer.
"She can relate to all of us as individuals and soccer players," Clifton said. "She's someone we can go to for anything whether it be personal life or on the soccer field."
As the Jayhawks move deeper into conference play, Kansas can also rely on Smith's experience in the postseason. She was a member of the program's first Big 12 regular-season championship in 2004.
Even with her long list of accomplishments, Smith doesn't like to talk about her glory days unless it helps the team.
"There's time when I do talk about my experience," Smith said. "But really I want to have them to build their own experience."

and serving. So it isn't unusual to see a libero that has a good serve, and we're glad that Bri could step up and get some good aces for us."
Bechard said he was also encouraged by the team's aggressive and fiery body language in the loss, even with the game out of reach. The Jayhawks will need that fire when they return to the state of Texas this Saturday for a night game against

Designated hitter v. no designated hitter
MORNING BREW
With baseball playoffs right around the corner, it will be interesting to see how American League teams
in baseball plays right around the corner, it will be interesting to see how American League teams adapt to National League rules and vice versa. One of the major differences between the two leagues is the presence of a designated hitter in the American League. While each league has a very different style of play, they both have pros and cons that add to the excitement of the game. Let's take a look at some of them.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
Designated hitter
1. You lower the risk of your ace getting injured in the batter's box or rounding the bases.
2. It allows an opportunity for older players to extend their careers. For example, the Yankees moved Jorge Posada from catcher to designated hitter in an effort to relieve his knees in the stress that comes with playing the position. It also gives players a spot in the lineup that may not be as strong defensively, such as the Boston Red Sox's David Ortiz.
3. You can extend the outings of your pitchers because you won't need to send a pinch hitter up for them in key at bats.
4. Rallies won't be broken with the pitcher coming up. Instead, you can use a bigger bat higher in the lineup. This usually results in higher scoring and more exciting games.

1. It takes away from the traditional element of the game. A pitcher is a position player, so shouldn't he bat too?
2. Bunting is rarely seen in the American League.
3. There is no reason to substitute a designated hitter, so the players on the bench play less.
4. Less strategy is involved in the American League.
5. Longer at-bats from designated hitters mean more pitches for opposing pitchers.
kllers. no.is cent: only to
2. Bunting and small ball occur much more frequently. For example, if a pitcher is up with a man on and fewer than two outs, you will most likely see him bunt in an attempt to move the runner over. This is because the odds of him getting a base hit are much lower than anyone else in the lineup, so he tries to put the runner in a better position for the top of the lineup to drive him in.
1. Bench players are used a lot more because the manager will want a runner with speed on base or a better bat at the plate.
No designated hitter
3. A greater level of strategy is involved in the National League style of play through the use of double switches and substitutions.
4. Every position player gets to bat. The pitcher can help himself secure a victory by knocking in runs.
5. During interleague play, National League players have an offensive edge over the American League players because they get more practice in the cages.
1. The pitcher is almost always an automatic out. No one wants to see "K,K, F4, K" in the box score.
2. You lose the excitement of rallying late in the same.
3. A pitcher isn't drafted for his hitting
Cons:
abilities, so why should he have to hit?
4. Even if a pitcher is throwing a great game, his outing could be cut short if the manager decides he wants a better bat at the plate.
5. You risk losing fresh arms for the season.
If the Rays were to lose James Shields, they'd be looking at a completely different season.
At the end of the day, designated hitter or no designated hitter, baseball will still be baseball. Personally, I like the American League style of play, but as long as there's still baseball being played, I think the game can stay just the way it is.

COMMENTARY
I won't begin this column with a joke about the sheer incompetence of the NCAA. That would be too easy. I will tell a few stories, though.
The first story centers on University of Tennessee freshman wide receiver Justin Hunter, who was pulled from practice last month after issues with his high school transcript arose with the NCAA Clearinghouse.
Record checks too slow
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
The Clearinghouse, in a nutshell, determines if a potential collegiate athlete is eligible or not.
According to govols.com, Hunter's high school records were under review even though he graduated high school three months before. Until a decision was made he sat and waited. Hunter was eventually cleared, but seeing as the high school credit in question was from an online class he took during the summer of 2009, the decision didn't need to take that long.
Hunter's story isn't unique. It's a reoccurring nightmare for college players and coaches across the country who become handcuffed when the Clearinghouse knocks on their doors, usually at the least convenient times.
Kansas fans should know the Clearinghouse all too well. Just last year it held freshman guard Josh Selby in limbo until mid-November before issuing a nine-game suspension for accepting impermissible benefits while in high school. Unfortunately for Kansas fans, it wasn't the last time the Clearninghouse investigated a future Jayhawk.
It was announced last month that incoming freshmen B Mclemore, Jamari Traylor, and Braiden Anderson had yet to be cleared while the NCAA further reviewed their high school transcripts. Each player attended three different high schools. Understandably, investigating three different high school transcripts can get tricky. Anderson was ruled a partial qualifier and thus unable to play for Kansas this year. Mclemore and Traylor still wait to hear their fates. But when your job mainly consists of checking different high school transcripts, should it really take this long to rule yay or nay? The three players graduated three months ago, and if the classes in question were taken before their final semester of high school, the Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling
I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I'm not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30?
I'm arguing for a ruling.
Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse.

BIG XII
Sophomore defensive specialist Brianna Riley and sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael collide after a dive attack by Iowa State during the third set of Wednesday night's game at Horiesta Athletic Center. The Jayhawks three straight sets to the No.-16 ranked Iowa State to lose 22-25, 17-25, 15-25. The Jayhawks are now 11-3 for the season and 2-1 in Bie 12 play.

The start of Big 12 play has not been kind to the Kansas volleyball team.
The Jayhawks (11-3) were swept by a ranked team for the second time in five days, falling to No. 16 Iowa State (12-2) at home on Wednesday night, 25-22, 25-17 and 25-15.
"The Big 12 conference is a new season and we're in an 0-2 hole in our new season," said coach Ray Bechard. "The gap between the
top team in the league and the bottom team in the league is very blurred right now, and there is a lot of parody. Every match that we go out is going to take a good effort to win"
The Jayhawks actually jumped out to early leads in the first and second sets. The first was back-and-forth, but the second saw Iowa State go on a 10-0 run after the Jayhawks took a 6-2 lead. The Cyclones never looked back, seizing a 5-1 lead in the third and eventually winning by 10 points.
"You can't let a good team go on a seven," eight-, nine-, 10-point
run," Bechard said. "That's what Iowa State did, and to their credit, they came out and executed their game plan better than we did."
"She's very capable and we've got all the confidence in the world that even though she didn't have her best match today, she'll bounce back and be ready to go Saturday," Bechard said.
Several backup players saw the court for the Jayhawks due to an injury to freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton. Sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael saw the most playing time in McClinton's absence, finishing with five kills and a .056 attack percentage.
Carmichael has dealt with a nagging hip flexor strain all season. She said replacing an injured player while dealing with an injury herself is challenging.
very much in the end. Bechard said that Carmichael has proven herself to her team.
Both Bechard and senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield said they did not think McClinton's injury affected the team's performance
"It's difficult, but I think it's just one of those things you have to push through and know you
can do it." Carmichael said. "No matter what, you have to keep playing."
One encouraging sign throughout the sweep was the serving of sophomore libero Brianie Riley, Riley finished with one ace and 13 digs. Mayfield said Riley's quality served did not surprise her.
"I don't think it's unusual."
Mayfield said. "A libero's main job is to pass, but they also get to serve. Those are the main areas they work in at practice, digging

RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
In 2004, the 2-1 Kansas football team initiated a trend that has continued to this day.
The Jayhawks led Texas Tech by 25 points with 48 seconds remaining in the first half. In the second half, Texas Tech, with their patented air-raid offense, had stormed back to cut the Jayhawks' lead to six, and then did something strange.
Texas Tech had the ball with two minutes and 47 seconds remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone — including the Kansas defense — by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson.
Henderson ran up the middle and didn't stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win.
The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas Tech, as they've gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Raiders.
The losses haven't been ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in
every game against Texas Tech during the losing streak. In Kansas' last two losses to Texas Tech, in 2008 and 2009, they've given up a total of 105 points while only scoring 42.
Yet, coach Turner Gill had little concern for what has happened in the past.
"That doesn't have any im

pact on this ball game," Gill said. "We're looking at their team and what they're doing in 2011 and we're looking at what we're doing here in 2011."
Texas Tech's offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very daunting, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game.
What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Javahawks.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior
---
Seth Doege is at a similar level of passing as Northern Illinois quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish.
Against Kansas, Harnish threw 33 passes and completed 27 of them for 315 yards and two touchdowns.
In addition to passing with confidence and ease — which Texas Tech is known to do — the Red Raiders have added a potent rushing attack to their offense with the 38th best rushing attack in the nation.
The numbers really appear to be ominous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game.
So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders.
"You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it."
