Held initially had no intention of participating, but other members of the Jayhawk-Writers on Campus group, or J-WOC, convinced him to participate in the arduous contest.

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. Edited by Jonathan Shorman 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.

An oversized fuzzy neon tennis ball rug stuck out next to my bed, Christmas lights lined the walls, a stuffed abominable snowman named Bumble rested on the dresser, my high school love for "The OC" displayed itself in poster form on the door, a Colorado state flag hung above my bed and there was no shortage of gaudily framed photos of friends and family. No mom to decorate, no money to go on a shopping spree at IKEA or Pottery Barn, and sure as hell no feng shui: this was my first college apartment. In the living room, a slew of snowflakes cut from tissue paper made it appear as though a first grade arts and crafts class terrorized our wall. A giant world map sprinkled with cutouts of our heads representing where we had traveled hung next to the cheap tissue flakes. While my decorating tastes did anything but achieve any sort of mood or cohesion, my place felt like me and it felt like my first home away from home. College means decorative independence, among other liberations. You can break free from your parents' refined Tuscan interior and furniture that's more for looks than function, and let your personality shine...as far as your college-student budget allows. SARAH CHAMP | ASSOCIATE EDITOR This hindrance might lead to walls of tissue snowflakes, but there are solutions to affordably achieving your dream space. To learn more about budget-savvy decorating and how other students do up their homes, check out Alex's story on page eight. Many moves later (seven to be exact), my eclectic bedroom is a thing of the past. With all the moving throughout college, I've sort of been forced to filter through what I own, leaving behind treasures like the neon rug, "The OC" cast and overabundance of photos. However, I do remain an advocate of year-round Christmas lights and I still have Bumble.

KJHK Caller Asks: I've been in a casual sexual relationship with this girl for about four months. Two months ago, we decided that all either of us wanted was casual sex. I have grown weary of it though and I am ready to move on. What is the appropriate way to end this affair? Can it be done over e-mail? The phone? Or does having slept with her for four months earn this woman the right to be "broken up" with in person? Michelle Answers: Casual sex relationships are great in theory. In reality, these relationships can produce unwanted anxiety or feelings in conflict with your prenegotiated terms. In your case, conflict surrounds your decision to break things off. If the relationship is 100 percent casual with no feelings or expectations attached, and you have no plans to see her again, why go through any "break up" plan? Respond to her next suggestion of sex with a polite, "No, I'm no longer interested." Unfortunately for you, I don't get the feeling your relationship is as void of emotional attachment as you lead me to believe. The simple fact you are in conflict about how to end this affair suggests you or your sex buddy developed some attachment. From your description of the situation, I get the impression you are leery of the feelings she might be developing. I understand you set boundaries but casual relationships never remain 100 percent free from emotion. Now, you must give her the heave-ho in a respectful way. Try a phone call or a polite, but brief face-to-face meeting. She showed you some good times, right? Exit the relationship with class and respect. In the future, think twice before entering into another "casual" sex relationship. I am a new member of the Contributed Photo Michelle MacBain is a graduate student from Kansas City.

BAILEY ATKINSON HOW WE MET // WINSTON HEILMAN & JESSE DOWELL > All great relationships have to start somewhere. AIS It's not uncommon for high school girls to want to date an older guy. This was true for Jesse Dowell, a sophomore from Lawrence. She first noticed Winston Heilman, a junior from Lawrence, in high school band and choir. "Everyone knew him because he was tall, handsome, funny and friends with everyone," Dowell says. Contributed photo It wasn't until Dowell's junior and Heilman's senior year that they became friends when Heilman asked Dowell to be in his choir variety show, "Encore." The song he was auditioning High School Sweethearts: Sophomore Jesse Dowell and Junior Winston Hellman noticed each other in high school band and choir. for was "The Coffee Song." That same year their choir went to Disney World, where Dowell realized her feelings for Heilman. He waited for the bus to leave the park before giving her a flower. When the two returned home, things stayed steady until Heilman asked Dowell to his senior prom. After prom and into the summer, the two continued spending time together, even after Heilman came to the University of Kansas. Heilman liked Dowell but was reluctant to start a relationship right before leaving for college. It wasn't until winter break of that year that the two became official. That was almost two years ago. "He is still the tall, handsome, funny, kind, and loving guy I've known since high school," Dowell says. "And my best friend." BAILEY ATKINSON HOTO Tech.

Consuming lip balm isn't harmful. Madelynne Lockhart uses her Nivea lip balm at least twice a day when her lips begin to feel dry. She knows exactly where she keeps her lip balm too - one at her desk and one in her purse. Lockhart, a sophomore from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, says she's tried numerous lip balms, but Nivea is the only one that makes her lips feel soft and full of moisture. People question if lip balm can be addictive, drying and even harmful if consumed. Over-the-counter lip balms tend to be hydrating and, of course, we like shiny, lubricated lips, which is why we buy them, says Dr. Marti Byers, M.D., CLS at MedCosmetic in Overland Park. Lips become dry out naturally because of the continuous eating and washing we do, she says. It is important to maintain the texture, tone and thickness of our lips because as we age, the bone, skin, and fat begin to thin. Byers says. A lip balm with petroleum, which moisturizes the skin, and sunscreen, preferably an SPF of 30 to protect against UVA rays, are needed to keep your lips healthy. Selecting a brand and flavor depends on your preference. Consuming lip balm is not harmful if it rubs off the lips into our mouths. There is no toxicity associated with lip balm nor has it been linked to any stomach problems, Byers says. Since wearing lip balm is habitual, and not an addiction, it's a good habit Lockhart has. Verdict: Good for you, if contains petroleum and sunscreen. | KYLIE NUTT | BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS // CAVE JACK DANIEL'S BIRTHDAY & DOLLAR NIGHT TONIGHT ONLY!

The hard truth about time management is that sometimes something must go. Even on those hectic days, when time just isn't on your side, an effective workout is possible. Amber Long, assistant director of fitness for KU recreation services, says the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise can be broken into 10 minute increments and still be beneficial. Circuit training, where a routine of resistance training exercises and high-intensity aerobics are done with little rest between them, is an effective way to work out in a short period of time, Long says. Lifestyle changes, like parking farther away and walking or taking the stairs instead of the elevator, raises your heart rate without adding time to your schedule. "Be aware of how to efficiently use your body and muscles during the day. When you sit in a chair, focus on using your muscles like you're doing a squat," Long says.

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. 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 Tauran Henderson. Edited by Jonathan Shorman 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.

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.

LAWRENCE NOTICE WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO SURVIVE A HOUSE FIRE > You know you're curious. | JAMES HENNAHANE AS TOLD TO MATT GALLOWAY | James Hennabane, a sophomore from Leawood, lost virtually all his material possessions on Sept. 11, 2011. Flames consumed his student residence at the 1300 block of Tennessee Street. Hennabane made it out with his laptop, the shorts he was wearing and nothing else. But the fact that he, his brother and others in the residence at the time made it out alive is enough to make him feel thankful. He now resides at The Reserve with several other students who lost everything in the fire that night. When my friend Andrew Adford started banging on my door at 6 a.m., I blew him off. We all got a little wild the night before celebrating the football team's win, and I wrote it off as more drunken craziness. But he just wouldn't stop hammering on my door. "Stop messing around," I finally barked. "Our house is burning down," he replied. That was more than enough to jolt me out of my deep sleep. Wearing only my boxers, I ran out of my room and turned to the left. The smoke was already bellowing from our porch and into our house. Panicked, I tried to remember where we kept our fire extinguisher. Then I remembered where it was: our porch. Well, shit. I rushed back into my room, now fully jarred out of my slumber. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for my brother, who was still sound asleep. I woke him up and as he got dressed, I saw my curtains ablaze. It had only been about 90 seconds since Andrew woke me up and the entire place was already consumed with smoke and flames. “Get the fuck out!” I shouted. When it got to the point that I couldn't breath, I got the hell out of there. My roommate was close behind, and he was the last one out. I called 911 and we stood there helplessly as we watched everything we owned burn in flames. It was kind of ridiculous. I'm so paranoid about fires now. I get anxious every time someone throws a lit cigarette on the ground. I think the more eerie thing about the whole ordeal is the voka we purchased and drank for the first time the night before. It's called Fire Starter, and it comes in the shape of a fire extinguisher. and dug for treasure. It was a great feeling just finding something we had easy access to only a day earlier. The week after the fire was really shitty. We went from couch to couch with only the clothes on our backs.

While some students refused to shave or looked forward to celebrating the holidays last November, Jason Held, a senior from Minneapolis, wrote a novel. For writers across the country November is National Novel Writing Month, an online contest that challenges participants to write 50,000 words in 30 days. "You have to go in there knowing what your book is going to be about," Held said. "I didn't have a complete outline for it, but I knew what it was about." His book, "The Write Message," follows a 15-year-old boy who hires a literary agent and pursues a publishing deal while trying to balance high school, the challenges of the industry and familial loss. Select chapters of the protagonist's own writing are also included. J-WOC teamed up with KU "We teamed up with Hewlett-Packard a year ago to start this project and they gave us grant money to come up with ideas to encourage printing on campus," said Rachel Barnes, the KU Bookstores custom material specialist.

Now is the time to replace those Star Wars sheets from middle school and put together your perfect space. Decorating can get expensive, so use these wallet-friendly tips to create a space that reflects your personality. Amie Young, a junior from Olathe, hated her freshman dorm room in Ellsworth Hall. "When girls go to college, they envision themselves having a super cute dorm room, but my room sucked," says Young, who describes the room as cold, drab and boring. "It was the ugliest thing, it wasn't well decorated and it wasn't homey at all. So my goal for this year was to make my room bright and cheery. "I wanted to make it feel like home because I knew I'd be spending a lot of time there," Young says. Before you start, ask your landlord or resident assistant what alterations you're allowed to make. Many residences allow painting and screw or nail holes as long as you repaint or patch the holes when you move out. Always ask before you change anything to avoid fines and insure that you'll get your security deposit back. WHERE TO START First, choose a goal for the room. What do you want your room to achieve? Do you want it to be a place to study, entertain or relax? What do you want your room to say? Remember these goals when choosing the room's theme, colors, furniture and accessories. Each choice should support your goal to insure that your room serves its purpose. "Before buying furniture, art or accessories, you must look at the bones of the room or apartment," says Laura Buhrer of Laura Buhrer Designs in Kansas City, Mo. Take note of the ceiling height and room sizes to determine what you need to fill the room. Then determine the seating you need and how it can be arranged. "Seating can be easily mapped out by using templates or newspaper to see how much of the room you wish to utilize," Buhrer says. "Then move to the tables, accessories and art." Contributed photo Young used her disappointment in her freshman year room to choose her new room's goal: to be a place she loves and feels at home in. GET INSPIRED Before you begin decorating, figure out your budget, says Sue Toler of Impressions Interior and Home Staging in Leawood. Determine how much you can spend, then make lists of what you already have, what you need to buy and any extras you'd like to buy if you have any left over funds. This list will guide your decorating purchases. "Rooms reflect the personalities of those that live within," Buhrer says. "They create drama, serenity, moodiness, pleasure, comfort and desire. I believe that a home allows an environment that fosters these traits." When choosing a room's style, it's important to choose a unifying element that will help you make cohesive decorating choices. This can be something broad like a color or theme, but can also be narrow like choosing pieces that match a vintage mirror you fell in love with at the Antique Mall on Massachusetts Street. Buhrer suggests looking at magazines and design websites to determine your decorating likes Contributed photo Warm and Natural: Stephanie Rosson, an alumna from Ada, Okla., describes her apartment's decor as "eclectic and earthy" with a lot natural hues. and dislikes. Look at fabric stores or paint stores to put together a color palette that "entices and influences your choices," she says. Toler says the key to creating your dream space is surrounding yourself with things you love. "Decorating a room must begin with defining the total look you're working for," Toler says. "The style of your room should be a reflection of you." "If designing simply a room, themes often work best," Buhrer says. "Inspiration may come from a favorite movie, time period like the mod 60s or a college team." When Young set out to find things for her new room, she fell in love with the bedspread that became her unifying element. "When I started decorating, I didn't have a theme in mind, but when I saw my bedspread and I had to have it," Young says. "I decorated my room around that, but I also chose things I liked and they happened to match." TRANSFORM FURNITURE Furnishing an entire apartment can become costly. Garage sales, second-hand stores and relative's basements are filled with old furniture that you can get for cheap or free. But you don't have to use these hand-me-downs as is. Wooden furniture can be easily re-finished to look like new. Stephanie Rosson's grandparents gave her four pieces of wooden furniture for her apartment: an oak dresser, two night tables and a hutch. "It's quality furniture," Rosson, an alumna from Ada, Okla., says. "Furniture is expensive and I probably saved around $1500." Although it was a lucky find, the pieces didn't match each other or the black and white theme Rosson wanted for her room. So she refinished the furniture and painted it black. 8 09 29 11 8 5. 给名词复数。 1. 测量血压 (mmHg) Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling.

RETWEET LAWRENCE 874652190341 Rosson poured liquid sandpaper onto a cloth and rubbed it over the furniture to remove the original finish. Then, she painted over the furniture with black latex paint and let it dry overnight. "I love do-it-yourself projects and arts and crafts, so it was very rewarding," Rosson said. "I like knowing I got to take something plain and turn it into something I like and enjoy." You can also transform ugly fabric furniture. If you don't like the fabric of a couch, recliner, loveset or futon, cover it with a slipcover. FEATURE Young inherited an old loveseat that had been in her family since she was born. The seat is comfortable, but she couldn't stand to look at what she calls "hideous fabric with little flowers that look like clown faces." Young found her a brown, faux suede loveseat cover at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $20. Unless you have a custom fit slipcover made for your furniture, covers come in standard sizes. To make the cover look like the real thing, drape and tuck the fabric until it fits your furniture. ACCENT A ROOM The furniture and walls are the basics of a room, but accessories are what bring the room to life and express your personality. "Whether it's a fabulously framed music poster or an antique chandelier that was inherited from a family member, accessories create interest and take the ordinary and make it extraordinary," Buhrer says. When choosing accessories, keep your budget in mind. Good pieces don't have to be expensive. Buhrer suggests shopping at stores like Target, Gordmans, Home Goods and Pier I for inexpensive, but tasteful options for accessories like pillows, shower curtains, and rugs. If your room is inspired by a decade, thrift stores, antique malls and consignment shops are excellent resources for finding unique, retro-style pieces at affordable prices. Young's walls are covered in pictures, posters and prints. She chose these decorations as affordable ways to express her personality. "I have tons of pictures in my room, in frames, on the walls, all over. They remind me of good memories and good people," Young says. Young found her art posters and prints at the Kansas Union's poster sale and allposters.com. Posters are a great way for students to own a piece of art without having to spend thousands. "When choosing accessories, remember your style, room size and mood of the room," Buhrer says. "The unexpected usually creates the most interest. Put wire shelves on a wall to hold books, display a grouping of clocks on a focal wall or use books as end tables." If your budget or style only allow for a few decorations, lamps and art are accessorizing musts. To inexpensively finish the room, decorate with candles, ceramics or copies of your favorite books. Accessories are the final touches that bring the space together, so choose wisely. Jp ...

I can't remember the last time I picked up a dictionary or went searching through an encyclopedia. Google has been such a huge part of my academic life that it's always the first place I go to search for information on anything and everything. Forcing myself to go without it for a week was like being sent back to elementary school when computers still had green type and black backgrounds. Tyler Wright, a sophomore from Garden City, is a frequent Googler who Googles things 20 to 30 times a day. Even at that rate, Wright says it wouldn't be that different if Google wasn't around. "Another company would try to mo- nopolize the Internet. It would be the same as Google, just as a different name." Wright's thoughts are also shared by Julie Loats, the director of enterprise applications and services for KU Information Technology. Both agree that without Google, many would be "in the dark" due to how much we rely on the search engine for our everyday information needs. This ranges from just searching for information to having your appointments saved on a Google calendar. CHRIS NEAL In the end, life wouldn't be that much different if Google wasn't around. Instead of Google+, it would be Yahoo+ or Bing docs instead of Google docs. So don't be afraid if Google vanishes one day.

KAN Contributed photo Get Kicked Into Shape: The KU Tai Kwon Do Club offers a different way to work out. Running on the treadmill or lifting weights can get you in shape, but the KU Tai Kwon Do Club offers a way to kick your butt into shape as well as teach you self-protection. Charlotte Davis, the club's president and a junior from Shawnee, started attending when she was a freshman. She says the club helped boost her confidence with the work she put in to reach her current blue-belt status. By attending the club, you learn from two black belt teachers who teach you from the basics all the way up to the most difficult techniques. You also get to break wooden boards. Mercedes Fergus, a freshman from Wichita, learned about the club during orientation, and now attends twice a week. Unlike many of the other new club members, Fergus has been into Tai Kwon Do for several years and has already obtained her second-degree black belt status. "It keeps you active and in shape, but it's a lot of hard work." Fergus says. If you're looking for a better work out and maybe some protection skills, you can learn Tai Kwon Do for $60 a semester. The club meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Martial Arts room at the Ambler Student Recreation Center.

LAWRENCE QR code ROAD TRIPPIN DON'T LEAVE YOURSELF STRANDED PIN' YOURSELF STRANDED Photo illustration by Chris Neal Ready to Ride: To avoid any road trip breakdowns, take the necessary steps to prepare your car for the miles ahead. CHRIS NEAL You're driving down a highway late at night when your car begins to shake. A few seconds later, bam! your tire blows out and you frantically try to direct your car onto the shoulder. After maneuvering the car onto the shoulder, you get out to see that your tire not only exploded, it also blew the fender off of your car. Next thing you know, you're hacking your fender off of your car with an axe that a highway patrolman had just so you can put on your spare tire. This was the story of Saad Syed, a freshman from Wichita, as he made his way back to Lawrence last semester. "It was just a loud pop, and then I just saw my fender fly up and hit my windshield." Instances like this can happen to you if you don't properly check your car before going on a trip. Syed estimates the total amount to fix his car near $3,000. Would you want pay that kind of money because you forgot a simple tire pressure check? Do yourself a favor and make sure your tires are aired up right. The amount of pressure each tire needs should be printed on the driver's side door or in your cars manual. Besides just checking the tires before taking off over fall break, there's a whole list of other things you might want to consider before your fun comes crashing to a halt. For starters, be sure to check your oil and maybe even get it changed. Oil to a car is like blood to our bodies; without it, you're not going anywhere. Jon Rasa, who is in charge of drive train construction for the Jayhawk Motorsports formula race cars, says to change the oil yourself or have a family friend do it instead of a mechanic or car dealership. "If you're going to try to save money, it's easier for you to do it and recycle it at Wal-Mart for free than trying to pay the minimum at a shop and get some crap," Rosa says. There is also your radiator, which cools your engine while it's running. Be sure that you have plenty of antifreeze to keep it running properly. Without it, your engine will simply overheat and shutdown. Keep in mind, your radiator's constantly under pressure and if it does decide to stop working, don't even think about touching it. You'll know it's hot if your car's temperature gauge is in the red zone. So unless you want third-degree burns, just turn the car off and let it sit for a while before trying to open the hood or radiator cap. So what kind of things should you stick in the trunk in case your car decides to break down on you? Jake Mitchell, an employee at AutoZone, says these are must-dos if you plan on road tripping anytime soon. 1. A first aid kit can help you out if you end up hurting yourself while trying to fix your car. 2. Spare parts are a good thing to have if you know of things that might be going out on your car. 3. A few extra quarts of oil are always a good idea, especially if you know your car has an oil leak. 4. A cool engine is much better than a hot one, so carry some extra antifreeze with you too. 5. Always keep a tire pressure gauge in your car. Not keeping an eye on your tire pressure can quickly end your trip. YOU'VE SEEN IT IN MOVIES BUT DOES IT REALLY WORK? Movie: Gamer Prior to going into battle against his fellow inmates, Gerard Butler, the leading actor, drinks a bottle of vodka that he plans to have run through his system by the time he reaches a truck somewhere within the war zone. As he comes across the truck, which doesn't have gas in it, he pees into the gas tank and then drives off. In case you couldn't tell already, this does not work. Y/KANSAN shotgun in al Bank of Antifreeze is the only thing that should really be put into your radiator to cool off your engine. In "Sex Drive," they try to pee in the radiator to cool the engine. It worked for a whole 10 seconds before the car broke down again. However, some responses to this question of peeing in the radiator in forums on Yahoo! Answers say that this does work, but for how long remains unanswered.

Couples, sightselers and other hotel guests make the trip across campus to the hotel, not just for the restaurants and underground nightclub, but also for the peace, serenity and the breathtaking view atop the hotel, which is named after Mount Oread. At the north gate of the University of Kansas, students and Lawrence residents gaze at the large limestone structure as just another hotel. But the view from the top of the Oread Hotel is a sight unlike any other on campus. Two small bars serve the guests who make the trip up the nine floors to the upper terrace. Guests can choose from an assortment of beers, wines and cocktails, as well as order appetizers from the Bird Dog restaurant on the main floor. The Nest on Ninth also provides live acoustic music from different musicians and is open daily, weather permitting. "We've never had this opportunity in Lawrence to see views like this before," says Patti McCormick, director of media and special events for the Oread. "It's also a game-day magnet," McCormick says. "Just watching the crowds coming to and from the stadium is a lot of fun." ... The terrace wraps around the southern top half of the hotel and guests are treated with a view of Lawrence they can't see anywhere else in town. Whether students want a bird's eye view of campus, Memorial Stadium or just want to watch the sunset, the Nest is great for any occasion.

LAWRENCE 9138740615 PLAY [△] The Perfect Party Playlist MUSIC CAN MAKE OR BREAK THE NIGHT. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word college? Some students would say homework, some would say stress and a lot of students would say partying. As college students, we organize parties, host parties, go to parties, drive people and pick people up from parties and if nothing else, we hear about parties. People talk about who was there, what people were wearing or how awesome or how lame the whole whildeg was. But what makes or breaks a party? Collin Bean, a junior from Minnetonka, Minn., says it's music. "People love to forget their problems and very few things do that better than some catchy lyrics or a melodic chorus," says Bean. Bean is a music journalist who runs his own hip-hop blog. Bean, who has created party playlists for his blog as well as weddings here and there, says you need to know your audience to make the perfect party playlist. "Don't play what you want to hear, play what you think they would want to hear." KU alumni Sam Krause and Nick Rivera, better known as DJ SKrause and DJ Nick Arcade, agree. "You've got to find something everyone can relate to. That's the key," says Krause. "The whole point of my sets are that I construct something that touches on everyone in the room." For example, when Krause plays shows in Houston, he knows the crowd there loves dirty south rap. "I work in Slim Thug and shit into my sets so I can relate to them and make them be like, wow," says Krause Rivera constructs playlists depending on his audience, just as Krause does. "You don't put a show together before you know what the show is, same goes for making playlists for parties. You have to look into it and see what type of people might be coming by." Rivera adds. One thing to keep in mind when you are making a playlist though, is that you might not know the types of people coming to the party you're planning. Bean has advice for such situations. "The biggest thing is making sure you have a mixture of the newest tunes with classic songs mixed in as well. People love new music that that is on the radio, online, whatever, but at the same time people still want to sing along and dance to songs that they know," says Bean. When in doubt, play "Michael Jackson and Lil Wayne," says Rivera. Why? "Because they both have a shit ton of songs." son for the old-school jams and Lil Wayne for the new tunes. Anyone who has listened to a radio in their lifetime will know those jams. Rivera has a point, and it compliments Bean's playlist tip. If you are sure what to play at a party, throw in some Michael Jack- Another thing to keep in mind is the order of your playlist. "You want the playlist to grow and die. I'll put all the Southern rap together, all the rock together and hip-hop together, some dubstep and electro. You want it all to flow smooth. Start off with your hardest music," says Rivera. "You can't just jump around every song," says Krause. "If you are going to play hip-hop, play like four of five hip-hop songs, then play two rock songs. Change it up, but don't make it choppy." So the next time you plan a party, make sure the perfect music is on the top of your part must-have list. Make sure to know what your partygoers like, so you can please everyone whether you know them or not. Remember what DJ SKrause and Nick Arcade say: let the playlist grow and die and let it flow.

If you long for a simpler time, that is, 2006 - when you actually had to look at your friends' profiles to see what they were up to, when you actually had to be invited into the elite online club - you might as well put this down and delete your account right now. Today, Facebook starts rolling out new profiles for users. The design, called Timeline, represents a fundamental change in the site's aim. Most of Facebook's updates and revisions to this point have been aimed at the present, at telling users what their friends are doing at that very moment. Timeline leaves the nowness of Facebook in place (the news feed isn't going anywhere), but provides a look back into users' pasts as well. Under Timeline, the profile becomes more of a digital scrapbook than a quick-hits page of vital stats. It features a large "cover photo" chosen by the user that is the equivalent of a scrapbook cover. As you scroll down, the user's activities are shown along two columns. But in Timeline, not every piece of content is created equal. The big moments of your life – the relationships, the new job, the new city – are shown in a wide perspective to give them more prominence along the "timeline" of your life.

As you continue to scroll down, only the bigger, more meaningful moments are shown. In this way, Facebook is becoming more like our actual memories. We remember the big moments; we don't remember what we had for breakfast (though we might have posted a status update about it). Timeline is the biggest change to Facebook since the launch of the newsfeed. Purists will scream. More than a few people may quit. That would be a shame, Timeline is elegant and relatively intuitive to use. And it is a giant leap forward in creating a social network that paints an accurate picture of who we are in real life, in all our triumphs and defeats. Facebook is telling the story of our life, and doing it better than anyone else.

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.

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.

LAWRENCE 5107261899 SPEAK last chance An out-of-body experience gave this writer a final goodbye TAYLOR LEWIS Contributed photo One Last Story: An out-of-body experience helped Lewis deal with the passing of her uncle. The phone rang around 2 a.m. on September 25, 2008. I awoke with a jolt. My heart pounded as I strained to hear my mom's muffled words. Seconds later, she silently tiptoed into my room and gently shook me awake, even though I was alert and bracing myself for what was coming. "That was Research Hospital. Uncle Walter was admitted earlier today, and I'm going to run down there." I relaxed slightly. Although unfortunate, I had gotten used to Uncle Walter's ailments through the years. I can't remember exactly when my uncle was diagnosed with kidney disease; I was too young to understand the significance. Even though I only saw him sporadically through the year, I knew that he was on dialysis three times per week. Other than that, everything was pretty much the same. Recently, he'd been more tired than normal and had lost a substantial amount of weight, but nothing had really changed. He was still the man who wasn't afraid to speak his mind. I know this because he, a KU journalism graduate, practically threatened me with sudden death if I even considered attending Mizzou. He was still the man who racked up a repertoire of stories that were immortalized in family history, perhaps the most famous being when he was 3-years-old and crept out of bed during one of my grandparents' notorious cocktail parties. He answered the door and kindly offered the arriving guests a glass of scotch. He was still the man who was strong and determined. His tough exterior and tough loving was nothing but a faade; anyone who knew him understood just how much he cared for his loved ones. Yes, he was ill, but he always pulled through. "Besides," I thought. "I'm pretty sure that this isn't the first time Mom has left to be with him at the hospital." As my mom rushed out of the house, I rolled over and tried to sleep. But for an hour, I tossed and turned, unable to get comfortable. I finally turned to face my dresser and nodded off. After what felt like only seconds, I awoke again. But the thing is, I didn't actually wake up. My body was still unconscious, but my mind was awake. While my body was lying limly in bed, my eyes were staring at my dresser. My head was swimming with repressed worry for Uncle Walter. My ears were filled with the silence of the night. Until that silence was broken. I saw a burst of light and Uncle Walter's voice filled my room. I couldn't see him, but I could hear him. I felt his presence occupy the narrow space between my bed and my dresser. I could sense that he was in a hurry. I could almost feel a force rushing him, and my mind knew that he didn't have a lot of time to spend with me. His words were indecipherable, though. He was speaking rapidly, desperately trying to tell me something. I couldn't understand a word; all I could gather was that he was scared. His strong voice was wavering, laced with fear, and he sounded terrified. I interrupted him. "Uncle Walter," I calmly said. "You have to slow down. I can't understand anything that you're saying." But as soon as the words left my mouth, I could feel him turn sharply to his right, looking in the direction opposite of where he had come. He paused, and I froze. I felt him look at me. And in a much calmer voice, he simply said, "I have to go now." And then I felt him really look at me as he said, "I love you." Seconds passed and I didn't say anything, I knew that as soon as I uttered those words, that would be it and Uncle Walter would be gone. I put off saying anything for as long as possible. But finally, neither he – nor I – could wait any longer. It was now or never. "I love you, too." But unlike the rest of our conversation, I actually spoke those four words aloud and woke my body up. This time, it was my own voice that broke the silence of the night. Everything was back to normal. I was awake and could no longer feel Uncle Walter's presence. I tried my hardest to write off the experience as an odd dream. I wanted to convince myself that my visit with Uncle Walter meant nothing, that Mom would come home, assure me everything was OK, and return to bed herself. I refused to believe that this experience had any significance at all. I returned to my fitful sleep. A few minutes later, I heard my dog bark - my mom was home. I called downstairs, desperately seeking the reassurance that I needed. "Mom! What happened at the hospital?" After an elongated pause, her voice wafted into my room. "I'll tell you when I get upstairs." Pretty soon, I heard footsteps. Again, she tipted into my room and sat down on my bed. I immediately knew something had changed; this wasn't normal. "Taylor," she calmly said in the same voice that I had used with Uncle Walter only an hour before. "Uncle Walter died." For months, I refused to think of that night. I didn't tell anyone about it for a year, and I pushed it to the farthest corners of my memory. Had I dreamt it or did it really happen? I didn't know what to make of my experience, and I was leery to share it with anyone - who would believe me? I hardly believed it myself. The tears didn't come immediately. I was in shock. Neither the "dream" nor the news itself felt real. The whole night seemed like a movie scene. I wasn't sure what to make of my late-night vision; all I knew was the Uncle Walter was gone. It wasn't until the anniversary of his death that the whole night came rushing back to me, and I suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer. I called my mom and recounted every detail to her. I told her how he rushed into my room and spoke a mile a minute. I remembered how I felt his presence. I remembered just how strong, determined and loving he was. How he always said what he needed to say. And how he gave me one last story to tell. 53/519 K/V/KANSAN shotgun in al Bank of y nt gen said. and these you feel *this his- of the robbery, Massa- groups by the per- trom Cromi to col- 15 09 29 11 staurant e crowd the gang that was Where was tak- Bank robbery e first of rowas e Parker, mericas 'Bonnie ted do- GE3 Student authors offer insight, advice on amateur publishing KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com While some students refused to shave or looked forward to celebrating the holidays last November, Jason Held, a senior from Minneapolis, wrote a novel.

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD Associated Press HAVANA SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court refused Thursday to decide the constitutionality of the military's now-repealed "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning openly gay troops, saying the issue has been resolved since Americans can enlist and serve in the armed forces without regard to sexual orientation. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco tossed out a lawsuit that had challenged the military policy as a violation of gay service members' civil rights. In doing so, the appeals court also dismissed a Southern California trial judge's year-old ruling that the policy was unconstitutional. The gay rights group Log Cabin Republicans filed the lawsuit in 2004. Fidel Castro mocked President Barack Obama on Thursday for saying he's open to changing U.S. policy toward Cuba if there is change on the island first, calling the U.S. leader "stupid" DOUALA. CAMEROON Writing in one of his semiregular essays published across state-run media, Castro reacted with sarcasm to reported comments that Obama would be open to a different relationship with Cuba when there is political and social change. "How kind! How intelligent!" Castro said. "Such kindness still has not allowed him to understand that 50 years of blockade and crimes against our country have not been able to bow our people." Gunmen wearing military uniforms and carrying signs opposing Cameroon's longtime ruler blocked a major bridge early Thursday, shooting at police for several hours in an attack less than two weeks before the presidential election. Relative calm has returned to Douala after deployed troops arrested at least nine of the gunmen who were calling for President Paul Biya to quit, a military official said on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the press. Biya, who has been in power since 1982, faces 22 challengers in the Oct. 9 poll. Eyewitness Itah Robert said Thursday's early morning gunfight took place on the mile-long Wouri Bridge. MOSCOW Investigators say a powerful car bomb killed eight people, including an 11-year-old girl and a police officer, in Russia's volatile Dagestan province. The Investigative Committee, Russia's top investigative body, said the explosive that was planted in a car parked at a road crossing in the central Levashinsky district also wounded six more police officers Wednesday.

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. The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program.

Y Y Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior 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. 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.

LAWRENCE 13862475809 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 UNIVERSITY Enrollment rates still dropping D. M. SCOTT dmscott@kansan.com PAGE 3 University enrollment numbers continue to fall from a record count in 2008 as a new report by the Kansas Board of Regents indicates a 2.5 percent decline for the 2011 fall semester—a drop off of 744 students. This current enrollment trend has KU officials searching for solutions. Matt Melvin, associate vice provost for student success, said that the numbers were disappointing but were not unexpected. Officials evaluate enrollment and retention by "student flow through," which looks at specific cohorts of students and watches how they move through the enrollment process from year to year. "The enrollment decline is an issue of both recruitment and retention, so it is going to take a broad-based effort across the university to truly address it," said Jack Martin, director of strategic communication. This process helps officials monitor attrition rates and spot problems areas, such as "sophomore slumps" and "junior jaunts." "We knew where we stood in terms of enrollment," Melvin said. The "student flow through" becomes an important part of enrollment management. "You can often build enrollment on the back of retention in addition to enhanced recruitment." Melvin said. The problem rests with the record enrollment of 30,102 in 2008. The freshman classes of 2009 and 2010 were much smaller. As these classes work their way through the system, they negatively impact enrollment numbers because incoming classes can't make up the record difference. Low enrollment numbers hurt the University in a number of ways. "First, enrollment declines hurt the brand and make it somewhat harder to attract new students since people want to be affiliated and engaged with a school seemingly on the move as a result of enrollment increases," Melvin said. Smaller enrollment numbers create inefficiencies due to excess classroom capacity and residence halls. The lack of revenue from tuition dollars also hurts as higher education receives less state support. To enhance the KU brand, tuition dollars are "critical in allowing us to do what we want and need to do." Melvin said. Enrollment declines always come at a bad time. Now is especially poignant as the University looks to raise admission standards under the leadership of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. Discussions over the "quality, quantity and diversity" of students must be carefully considered. Melvin said the real question is how the University can successfully predict which students will be academically successful. Currently, the admission criterion admits students that do not have "a high propensity to succeed academically at KU based on their academic background and experience." Melvin said. Other ways that the University is affected by low enrollment include lower retention and graduation rates, students accumulating loan debt, and spending dollars that the state can't recoup. "The new renewable scholarships are one way we're enhancing recruitment, while helping students stay at KU and succeed is a key element of the new strategic plan," Martin said. To increase enrollment, the University will look to better align new students with financial aid and embrace basic enrollment fundamentals, such as speed, service responsiveness and personalization. "There are not that many revolutionary strategies out there. It is about execution. Hustle is a style and a strategy that can take one a long way in the enrollment game," Melvin said.

The Kansas Deaf-Blind Project was awarded the Steppingstones New Technology grant to measure the effectiveness of its Distance Mentorship Project, the first program of its kind. The project provides video cameras and other technology equipment for teachers, counselors, therapists, family members and other specialized educators of deaf-blind students. This allows teams to have weekly video conferences with one another to discuss progress, goals, and plans to enhance the student's education. "We're trying to find a way to capture the learning that's occurring, based on their ability to communicate and their independence" project coordinator Megan Cote said. The use of video chat is especially useful in coordination between team members, as it makes advising available for families who live too far away to receive help on a regular basis. The grant will go in effect on Oct. 1 and will give $200,000 over two years to the project. So far, staff members have focused on working with a handful of families, but the long-term goal is to spread the use of technology to reach deaf-blind teens and those who help them across the nation. There are 148 youth on the deaf-blind registry in Kansas, and hopefully the progress of this effort can be measured in a concrete way. "It it would be great if our district would adopt this technology, as well as other agencies and experts throughout the country. It would really be of huge value to teachers," said Kristen Rudd, an advisory board member and teacher in the Blue Valley district who works with deaf-blind students. The project should also prove useful in helping deaf-blind teens find employment. "Sometimes, the kids are nonverbal, so they can't go out on their own and say why they should be employed," Cote said. The videos can show their potential vocational skills, so the employer will be more likely to hire them even if a standard interview is not possible." Staff members like Rudd have enjoyed their learning experience with the project and hope more people can get involved with it. "The Kansas Deaf-Blind Project is a wealth of knowledge so I would certainly recommend that anyone wanting to learn more about this disability contact them to get more information and training." Rudd said. Edited by Mandy Matney SCIENCE Researchers partner up to save languages The University of Kansas is playing a part in the preservation of dying languages in Western China through the help of two grants from the Documenting Endangered Languages program. Arienne Dwyer, associate professor of linguistic anthropology at KU is teaming up with Professor W. Ma from the Qinghai Nationalities University in China to develop ways to restore dying languages and train linguists how to continue that work. They have developed a website called the Interactive Inner Asia Project. The website will document the language of Salar, an endangered language spoken in a region of Western China, along with four other languages which are spoken in a western region that was settled by Mongols, Turks, Tibetans and Chinese in the 13th century. Dywer said that studying the four languages shows how all languages are intertwined. Dwyer has also received another grant to create an online dictionary of each language's vocabularies. Next summer, she will co-conduct a series of training programs designed for linguists working to preserve languages in risk of dying out because of mixing cultures and speakers relocating. The two grants are jointly supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Sarah Plake Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling.

Associated Press Spanish storytime success LOCAL BRITTANY CLAMPITT bclampitt@kansan.com As restless toddlers spin chairs, chew on nametags and wander around the children's section of the Lawrence Public Library, Marita Nelson prepares for storytime. Volunteers, including Nelson, rotate leadership of the children's Spanish storytime called "Hora De Cuentos," at the library every Saturday morning. Nelson said the table is not just for Spanish-speaking children, but also for those whose "We wanted to our daughter to speak Spanish outside of our home, with different environments with different kids," Abel said. Hora De Cuentos, meaning "hour of stories" in English, is structured much like children's storytimes in English. Learning tools catered to the different senses making the meaning of the "We wanted to try and do outreach to families to let them know what's available in the community, how they can be involved." parents wish to expose their children to the language early. University of Kansas alumni Abel and Lydia Leon took over the program last year. As the parents of 2-year-old Alia, they have the same interests for their daughter as many of the other parents at Spanish storytime. Spanish words clearer. LYDIA LEON Hora De Cuentos co-head "Buenos días, a todos como están?" a song to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It" introduced each child, followed by more songs and stories with puppets and felt board animals to practice numbers and vocabulary. "They start getting a little bit of the basics of the language," said Abel. Lydia, the current coordinator for the storytime, has been a part of the program from early on, and has helped shape the program into what it is today, reaching the growing Spanish-speaking community in Lawrence. "We thought one of the resources in the community is the library," Lydia said. "We wanted to try and do outreach to families to let them know what's available in the community, how they can be involved, what they might have access to." These thoughts formulated Hora De Cuentos. "We get to celebrate Spanish and we also have other people learn Spanish," Lydia said. Although he realizes it would be difficult for a non-Spanish-speaking family to build on and continue with the language elements learned at the storytime, Abel still finds value in Hora De Cuentos. "What you end up having is either one of the parents speaks Spanish or some connection to the language," Abel said. "Otherwise, it's harder. But we still have fun." — Edited by Mandy Matney Where will You be this Gameday? P.O. Box 2490 Dallas, TX 75036 EASTVIEW 4150 941 INDIANA ST. MP MIDWEST 1025 MISSISSIPPI ST.

Rather than structuring the event as a presentation, planners decided to model it after a poetry slam; speakers spoke freely, for the most part without any notes.

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

JACOB MCNIEL jmcniel@kansan.com The National Science Foundation granted $340,000 for research into whispering gallery mode resonators that can detect minute particles within the human body. WGM resonators are tiny glass beads that trap the light of a laser and measure its refraction to detect disease and biological clues in the body. Resonators are so small that 10 of them could fit into the period at the end of this sentence. Testing for early indications of disease is a challenge for many researchers. Robert Dunn, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, said these new tests could become faster, cheaper and simpler. Dunn plans on using WGM resonators to help detect ovarian cancer. Edited by Jason Bennett Scientists have applied this same principle to light waves to create the microresonators, which can measure particles smaller than 100 nanometers.

A soft whisper underneath the dome could be heard clearly in another part of the building. TELEVISION A scene from Workaholics plays out. The show is currently in its second season on Comedy Central. Stars Blake Anderson and Anders Holm as well as Kyle Newacheck, the director, discussed the show with The Kansan. Q&A with Workaholics creators KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Comedy Central's show "Workaholics" follows three friends trying to survive life after college by working as telemarketers. The show's stars Blake Anderson and Anders Holm, and writer and director Kyle Newcheck discuss what their worst jobs have been, why the show appeals to college students and what it is like to have a successful TV series. Newacheck: it's about that mind state just coming out of college, where you have been free for so long and just partying every night and then you get put into a job and you're still in the mindset of partying. Holm: We're lucky that we have awesome jobs, but we also had those jobs where you have to keep it light or you're going to go insane and kill yourself. Q: Is the show a satire of nine-to-five jobs?

Q: What was the worst job you ever had? Holm: I did tele-fundraising like they do on the show. It's brutal because you're not even selling anything. You're just asking people for money. You get like three 10-minute breaks a day with a 15-minute lunch, and you're just sitting at a computer, trying to read a magazine while you tell people to save whales or help out the NRDC. And then they just shout at you and tell you Q: What's it like having a popular TV show? that they're going to call their lawyers and sue them. It sucked. Anderson: I worked at a butenec shop, but it actually wasn't that bad. It was just a bunch of guys making crude jokes, and I'm a fan of that. Anderson: I've always said its just cool to have a popular show because other people in the industry are in industries you respect. It opens doors and opportunities to meet with cool people.

EDITORIAL City proves it protects citizens' rights Tuesday night, the Lawrence City Commission passed a measure to make discriminating on the basis of "gender identity" a city offense. Gender identity now joins sex, race, religion, origin, ancestry, age, color, disability and sexual orientation as officially protected from discrimination. Along with the Lawrence gay community, transgender residents and students can now officially file claims against people who discriminate against them because of their gender identity. It's a governing body's job to protect citizens who are under distress, or under threat of discrimination. This is a big step for civil rights in Lawrence and Kansas. We support the inclusion of gender identity in the city's code, and applaud Mayor Aron Cromwell and the commissioners for making Lawrence the only city in Kansas to recognize gender identity as a protected classification. However, as some commissioners said, a city's duty is to its citizens, not to their morality. The anti-discrimination measure won't restrict businesses to hire employees they think will be the best candidate for a position. This amendment will make it clearer to businesses how they can and can't act with transgender workers. City Council was flooded with over 100 people at Tuesday's meeting. About 50 people publicly commented, making the meeting last four hours. Opponents to the amendment included business owners, pastors, church-goers, and other concerned citizens. They explained how the amendment would threaten their Christian moral environment, restrict business practices, and threaten their children by giving pedophiles an excuse to go into opposite gender public restrooms. Transsexual and transgender citizens are already using their bathrooms of choice, and the pedophile argument was effectively debunked by Cromwell. When a citizen is stressed and pressured from a society that doesn't accept his or her opposite gender identities, or is discriminated against in school and work, children and adults can suffer from Gender Identity Disorder. Classified as a disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. GID can lead to severe depression. In a report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 41 percent of respondents reported attempting suicide. That jumped to 55 percent in respondents who reported losing a job due to discrimination. The transgender population needs to be protected like any other classification in Lawrence's human relations code, and by passing the amendment, the city commission showed its commitment to protect all Lawrence citizens. Vikaas Shanker for the Kansan Editorial Board FASHION Freshen your nails like a queen Queen Nefertiti wore it. Cleopatra wore it. Even modern day Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, wears it. And college girls across America today wear it. So, what do we have in common with these royals? The answer is nail polish. The answer is nail polish. Invented over 5,000 years ago by the Ming Dynasty, nail lacquer has been one of the longest and most successful fashion trends to this day. Chinese royalty wore colored nail polish in relation to the current dynasty. The ancient Egyptians used nail lacquer to symbolize their rank. Even Cleopatra used a red stain for her nails. By Lizzie Marx editor@kansan.com Although nail polish no longer suggests a statement of rank or royalty, it is still a necessary accessory for any outfit. Nina Garcia, fashion editor at Marie Claire, said that nail polish is "a matter of taste and appropriateness, so select wisely". Since we are now into fall, consider choosing a darker shade when you decide to freshen up those nails. One of my favorites for this transitional period is Case Study by Essie. Its beige pigment works well with fall's hues of browns and burnt orange. You will be studying your nails all night long with this color. In order to obtain the glamour and glitz from one of my favorite places, Lincoln Park, Ill., use Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI. An eggplant shade is dark for all skin tones and InStyle magazine rated it as the Best Dear Nail Polish for 2011. The most popular nail color for this upcoming season is military green, such as Sew Psyched by Essie. This sage-pewter color works best with the camouflage trend. Not to worry though, your nails won't hide with this shade. If you want to keep it simple and sweet, stick with the all-time favorite Marshmallow by Essie. This cloudy white coordinates with every outfit and is incredibly chic with a monochromatic heather beige ensemble. You view your fingernails all day long, so why not make them your most stylish accessory with your upcoming outfits. Lizzie Marx is a sophomore in journalism from St. Louis eggplant nude beige marshmallow FALL HUES I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players. Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling. I'm arguing for a ruling. 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. 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.

"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." What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks. 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. Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior --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."

Senior tight end Tim Biere's last name literally means "beers" in German. And if his team gives him a bigger role in its offensive game plan, Kansas football fans might have a reason to crack open a cold one and celebrate. Biere was one of the few bright spots for the Jayhawks (2-1) in their 66-24 drubbing at the hands of Georgia Tech on Sept. 17. The 6-foot-4 tight end was the biggest target on the field, but he still managed to get separation and finish with three catches for 40 yards. If the lajhwaws want to have chances for success this season in the few winnable conference games on their schedule, like Saturday's home game against Texas Tech (3-0), the coaching staff has got to get the big target, Biere, more involved in the offense. All of his catches against Georgia Tech were made in the first half, when the game was still within reach. That included two critical receptions of FOOTBALL CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb prepares to pass the ball down the field during the first half of Saturday's game against Georgia Tech. Webb threw 19 times with 11 completions for 148 yards and zero touchdowns in the Jayhawks' 24-66 loss to Georgia Tech. EASTER HISTIME TO LEAD SEE BIERE 14 MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com One of the first times sophomore quarterback: Jordan Webb's mother, Stacy Grus, approached his high school coach, she was told something that Webb had frequently heard throughout his life. "I just said, Jordan would really like to be able to do this post-high school," Grus said. "And at that time his high school coach told me. 'Well, he's too short.'" Fortunately, the 6-foot, 195-pound Webb had a mindset that said otherwise from the very beginning. Grus said Jordan has a "if you tell me I can't then I'm going to show you I can" personality. "That's just been him since he was born, quite frankly," she said. Grus, an elementary school teacher, said her son was a bit of a class clown and had always been a vocal child. Webb once took a summer school class taught by his mom. She said that she had to frequently send him into the hall as a punishment for distracting the other kids. When Webb was old enough to play football, he did not hesitate. After all, he was the youngest of four football-playing brothers. Webb played linebacker and running back up until seventh grade, when he was able to play in junior high. He had followed in his brothers' footsteps for long enough — it was time to play quarterback and be a leader. football. By the time he was a freshman backup for the high school team, Webb knew playing quarterback was something he wanted to do for a long time. He quit playing baseball, a sport he was successful in, to devote his time solely to At the end of his freshman year, Webb's mom and his coach, the one who thought he was too small to play at the collegiate level, began to see Webb had a future in football. "My high school coach is a very good, well-respected coach. He told me when I was a freshman I had a chance to be a Division 1 player," Webb said. "I just took that to heart and really wanted to work hard and try and become that." And something special has — Webb currently has one of the top quarterback passer ratings in college football. "He told me, 'I'm going to start next year, I'm going to do whatever it takes," Grus said. "Just seeing him push himself to be able to do that, kind of made me think, well maybe there is something special going on with him." Working hard throughout the offseason has paid off in Webb's sophomore year. Senior receiver Kale Pick and junior receiver D.J. Beshears both said that they have not at all been surprised at what Webb has done this year. "To be honest, I'm not that impressed with him, because I've been with him this whole year," Pick said. "I knew he was going to have a good year. He's finally showing the rest of the people in the stadium what he can do. It's very impressive if it's the first time seeing him, but I've seen it in spring ball, seen it in fall camp and he's been doing this the whole year." Last year, as a freshman who started seven games, Webb had a quarterback rating of 106.8.

They're averaging 447.7 yards per game and 37 points per game. They'll be going up against a Texas Tech defense that ranks 9th in total yards allowed out of 10 Big 12 teams. Their rushing attack was slowed against Georgia tech, but its still been successful throughout the course of the season. They are averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 235 yards rushing per game. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb has the fifth best quarterback rating in the country and has gone through the first three games this season without throwing an interception. PETER M.

The Kansas secondary has struggled to stop the pass all season, allowing its opponents to complete 76% of their passes. While the numbers don't bode well for the Kansas defense, they are coming off a bye week where they were able to prepare for Texas Tech and return to health. Their senior defensive tackle Pat Dorsey, who has recovered from a broken foot, will return to the action this week for the first time all season. Dorsey will go a long way to helping the defensive line pick up its play. It will be a make or break week for a Kansas defense that is out to prove its doubters wrong. Pos.

AT A GLANCE The number of Jayhawks from Texas PLAYER TO WATCH S. Mwangi The Jayhawks enter conference play with a 2-1 record and an opportunity to exceed preseason expectations. They are coming off a bye week where they were able to move past the Georgia Tech loss and re-focus their thoughts on Texas Tech. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said the defense, which has been suspect at times, used the bye week to correct their fundamentals and technique. The defense is going to have to be on top of their game against an electric Texas Tech offense this week. Junior defensive end Toben Opurum: Shealy said one of the keys to stopping the Red Raiders offense is to get pressure on their quarterback, junior Seth Doege the player who has the best chance to get in the backfield and disrupt Doege is Opurum. Opurum is second on the team in tackles this season and is first in tackles for losses. The former running back has the athletic ability to beat opposing- offensive lineman, and he needs to when he takes the field Saturday, if Kansas wants a chance to win the game. SPECIAL TEAMS A. J. H. Junior kick returner and wide receiver D.J. Beshears returned six kickoffs in the Georgia Tech game for 104 yards. It was his first quiet game returning kicks, as his longest return of the day was for 21 yards. The kickoff Beshears coverage has been on top of their game all season, holding opponents to an average of 20.3 yards so far this season. Sophomore punter Ron Doherty, though rarely used, has been pinning opponents deep all season, averaging 47.8 yards per his 10 punts. FOOTBALL GAME PREV 38 100 COACHING M. JASON GOSLING Gill The non-conference portion of the Jayahwks' season went better than most expected for coach Turner Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long. The 2-1 start already surpasses the one win season that Sports Illustrated had predicted. The offense has shown major strides of improvement, as the team has scored over 40 points twice. On the defensive side of the ball, defensive coordinator Vic Shealy's players have not shown the same signs of improvement as the offense. The defense has been dismantled by not only Georgia Tech, but by Northern Illinois and McNeese State as well. Shealy will be tested against a Texas Tech school that will pounce on any defense that is not prepared from the start. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com MOMENTUM The bye week helped Kansas in a big way. They've had time to recover and move on from the Georgia Tech game. They get a new start with conference play and the team feels confident and ready to show that Georgia Tech was a fluke. PRED 49-3 4 Is the defens QUESTION MARKS BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... e really that bad? ? The Kansas defense ranks last in the NCAA by allowing an average of 550 yards per game. The Georgia Tech game inflated those numbers after running for over 600 yards and gaining over 700 total yards. The defense gets a chance to show that the Georgia Tech game was a fluke, because of their triple-option offense. The secondary has been suspect all season, and with Texas tech's pass happy ways, they'll be put to the test Saturday. After the game Saturday, a lot of questions about the defense will be answered. If the defense has corrected some of its fatal flaws. The offense will have opportunities to score and should put some points on the scoreboard. It's up to the defense to slow the Texas Tech attack down and give the offense a chance to win them the game. If the defense can get pressure on Doege, it will go a long way to helping the defense keep the Red Raiders out of the end zone. 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. I'll arrange it in a running. In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Bblock 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.

That team earned the program's first bowl game, beating Rice 33-7 in the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston, Texas. The 1961 team, which finished 7-3-1, featured two members of the Kansas Hall of Fame: quarterback John Hadi and fullback Curtis McClinton.

MONISHA BRUNER/KANSAN Black Student Union Vice President Rebecca Neville crowns DaNeale Diggs as this year's homecoming queen. BSU is the only organization on campus that still crowns homecoming royalty. This year, the organization also crowned a homecoming princess. BSU continues homecoming week traditions MONISHA BRUNER mbruner@kansan.com The University of Kansas Black Student Union combined old traditions with the new for homecoming week. Stan Parker II, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. and DaNeale Diggins, a senior from Topeka, earned the titles of homecoming king and queen. The first ever title of homecoming princess went to Paige Alexandria Whiteside, a freshman from Jefferson City, Tenn. "It feels good to represent such a great group of black students," Diggins said after she was crowned. "I just felt honored that I was chosen queen." "It's an amazing feeling, a great honor that I don't take lightly," Parker said after he was crowned. "I'm definitely going to carry out my duties as I should. It feels great to represent my fraternity as the homecoming King." The Black Student Union is the only organization on campus that still crowns homecoming royalty, and BSU Vice President Rebecca Neville, a sophomore from Merrillville, Ind., said the pageant's history goes back a long way. "In 1969, that was our last campus-wide pageant," Neville said. "There was a black woman nominated and they decided to end the whole thing all together. The Black Student Union decided that they'd nominate their own homecoming Queen." Contestants had to introduce themselves with a song that represented them and an item that stood for what they believed in. They also had to answer questions from the judges. Parker and Diggins will ride on the BSU's float in the homecoming parade on Saturday. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 Edited by Josh Kantor LAWRENCE Businesses face homecoming STEVEN SMALL ssmall@kansan.com Homecoming is here, which means that more local business customers are in Lawrence. Businesses are preparing accordingly for the increased traffic. Oread general manager Nancy Longhurst said the hotel is doing all it can to get ready for the weekend rush. "All the hotels, of course, are full a year in advance," Longhurst said. "When people are here, they're in a great mood and they want to remember their college days." This year's homecoming game is scheduled for 11 a.m., which is beneficial for most businesses. However, one business that won't profit from the early game time is the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union. KU Booksbooks director Estella McCollum said the time of the game is more important than its accompanying events. "When we have a 6 oclock game, it seems like people make an event of the day, come in to time to tailgate as well as do some shopping and spend more time on campus," McCollum said. Bars and restaurants, however, will probably benefit from the early game time, most opening their doors early to serve customers. The Nest, a bar located on the ninth floor of the Oread, always has a large crowd on gameday. "They just flock up here." Longhurst said. "We have two bars up here and they're both very, very busy. But we do well in both of them because everybody's got to talk about their college days and the game they just saw and it's a lot of fun for people to exchange stories."

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

Delta Gamma and Phi Kappa PSI used 3-D chalk in their design. Laken Rapiper, a junior from Texas, created the design for the joint effort this year. She said the group has never used 3-D chalk before. "I think it's really going to set us apart from everyone else," Rapier said. "I don't see any other 3-D chalk out here." Other groups put their focus on the design. Elizabeth Miller, a senior from St. Louis, created the design for Student Union Activities. Miller said the idea of a quilt came from the homecoming theme."From Lawrence with Love". Rapier's sorority, Delta Gamma, won the chalk competition last year. She said the key to winning is not running out of chalk. "It's easy to do," she said. "We're already running out of white." Alpha Epsilon Pi went with older material and used charcoal in its design. Brandon Wagner, a freshman from Overland Park, said charcoal staves longer and produces a dark black color.

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

A large crowd gathered in the park, many of whom were holding flowers and candles. The event was a celebration of the university's history, with speakers addressing the crowd. Doc Yak's Medicine Show Students gather for Doc Yak's medicine show in 1946: 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. Duck Race In 1935, students tried to orchestrate duck race on Potter Lake. Reports show that there was a good student turnout at the event, but the morning was pretty chilly and the ducks just huddled in the middle of the lake. Eventually, the marching band's duck crossed the finish line — but it wasn't enough to save the tradition. 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. RIGHT: Bob and Delores Hope talk with students at Allen Fieldhouse in 1971.

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

Edited by Jonathan Shorman 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. The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program.

"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." What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the layhawks. 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. 7 Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior 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. Edited by Jennifer DiDonato "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." YOUNG 8 Facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat Texas Tech.

C Even with the turmoil in the Big 12, various schools' traditions have managed to stick around for dozens of years. Here's a look at how homecoming is handled at a few universities around the conference. OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Down I-70 West in Manhattan, the Wildcats will take on the Sooners for their homecoming football game on Oct. 29. At Kansas State, sororities and fraternities dominate most homecoming-related festivities. The houses are paired up and make signs to show Wildcat spirit for the homecoming theme of the year. Another tradition is a 5K race to benefit a local organization. This year, all profits will go to Shepherd's Crossing, which provides resources to impoverished people. There is also a sidewalk chalk contest the week of homecoming. OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY Similar to many schools, Oklahoma State hosts a homecoming parade through campus. For a more unique tradition, there is also an annual "Legacy Coloring Competition," where children are invited to help Pistol Pete decorate for "America's Greatest Homecoming Celebration." This year, the Cowboys take on the Bears for their homecoming game on Oct. 29. TIGER UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS This year, the Tigers take on the Cyclones on Oct. 15. Missouri boasts the largest student run homecoming in the nation. Events include a parade, spirit rally and blood drive, which has previously been recorded as the largest blood drive on a campus. There is also a talent competition that lasts three nights throughout the week where students can show off their unusual talents. Although individual schools within the University of Texas host homecoming events, the university does not host an official homecoming game. T TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY Since 1954, Texas Tech has held an election for homecoming queen. There is also a parade, float competition and pep rally, which is called the "Rowdy Raider Rally" and is held on the Friday before the football game. This year Texas Tech plays K-State on Oct. 15 for homecoming. STATE IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY Up in the Hawkeye State, the first official homecoming for Iowa State was in 1912. This year, Iowa State will play Texas A&M on Oct. 22. The school also hosts a fireworks display and cheerleading competition. During the week, hundreds of students also volunteer to build a house for Habitat for Humanity. BAYLOR 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. The university also hosts a singing competition, which is called "the Singspiration" and honors generations of Baylor alumni, students and families. This year, the Bears are battling it out on Nov. 5 against the Tigers. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 KY/KANSAN shotgun in neal Bank of nt igen said, and these you feel of this his- of the robbery, on Massa- lay groups by the per- for Crom- dit to col- estaurant e crowd the gang that was tr.

Tuberville is in his second year as the head coach at Texas Tech following coaching stints at Auburn and Ole Miss. Tuberville finished the 2004 season at Auburn a perfect 13-0 and a victory in the Sugar Bowl. He finished his first season at Texas Tech with an 8-5 record. MOMENTUM Texas Tech struggled in its most recent game, they are looking to get off to a fast start against Kansas to prove they can dominate a team from a major conference and are more than just pretenders in the Big 12 title race. Doege gets on a roll early and the Jayhawk offense fails to keep up, leading to a mass exodus of students from the game before halftime. AT A GLANCE Texas Tech is 3-0, but has hit their speed bumps despite not facing the toughest competition. They struggled in the first half of their opener, entering half-time down 10-9 to Texas State, then they needed a touchdown pass with 36 seconds left to sneak past Nevada last week. Tech's opponents have a combined record of 3-8 on the season. PLAYER TO WATCH PETER KINNEY Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege. Doege is ranked in the top ten in both passing yards per game and passing efficiency. Doege is the engine that powers the Rod. BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ... Doege Raider offense, and he is in position to have another big day this week. SPECIAL TEAMS Donnie Carona's leg has not been tested; he made his only field goal attempt of the season, a 23-yard kick against New Mexico, but he is a perfect 19 for 19 on PATs. The Red Raiders rank 16th in the nation in kick off M. M. SHAHRAZABADI Carona returns, averaging 26.5 yards per return QUESTION MARKS How will the Red Raiders defense fair against Kansas' potent rushing attack? For the second week in a row, Texas Tech will face a top 20 rushing offense. The Jayhawks feature a bevy of strong running backs, and if the Red Raiders defense can't slow them down, Tech's won't be able to get their offense on the field. TEXAS TECH 3-0 STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE Stephens The Texas Tech runs a potent spread offense that ranks ninth in the nation in passing yards, but they have added another dimension to the offense in Eric Stephens, who is averaging 114.7 yards per game. This season the Red Raiders have balanced their play call, passing on 54 percent of their plays. Pos. NAME No. Year QB Seth Doege 7 Jr. HB Eric Stephens 24 Jr. WR Eric Ward 18 So.

I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players. I'm arguing for a ruling. In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R B 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? Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse. 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. Edited by Jonathan Shorman 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.

"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." What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks. 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. Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior --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."

SATURDAY, OCT. 1 Texas A&M will get an early taste of what SEC play will feel like next season when it takes on Arkansas, its longtime rival dating back to their days together in the Southwest Conference. With both teams coming off a loss, the winner will renew its chances of receiving a BCS Bowl birth, while the loser will almost certainly be eliminated from that race. Owen Grav PLAYER TO WATCH Texas & AM running back Cyrus Gray. After running the ball 21 and 29 times in the Aggies first two games, Gray only run the ball 13 times in the Aggies' loss to Oklahoma State last week. They will need a big day from Gray to take the pressure off Ryan Tannehill and the passing game. BAYLOR BEARS (15) BAYLOR @ KANSAS STATE PAGE 15 C Kansas State has momentum after its thrilling road victory against Miami(FL) last week, but its seventh ranked defense will face a much tougher task trying to control the Baylor offense led by Robert Griffin III. This is as much of a strength vs. strength matchup as they come and the winner will be determined by whichever team budges first. KANSAS STATE 2 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 1 PRESIDENT PLAYER TO WATCH Griffin Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. Griffin has put up good enough stats to thrust him to the forefront of the Heisman discussion. If he continues his success, Baylor will emerge victorious; if he struggles, it will open the door for a Wildcat upset. (17) TEXAS @ FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 (17) TEXAS @ IOWA STATE STATE I 6 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 1 In a matchup of undefeated teams, the winner will be labeled a contender and the loser a pretender. Texas is looking to avenge its loss last season when the Cyclones defeated the Longhorns in Austin. It was the first time that Iowa State ever defeated Texas. This year, the Longhorns will be led by a new quarterback with a familiar name, as Case McCoy makes his second career start for the Longhorns. PLAYER TO WATCH lowa State quarterback Steele Jantz. Jantz has thrown three interceptions this season, but is at his best when the game is on the line in the fourth quarter, including a game tying touchdown pass with 1:17 left in the Cyclones' win over Iowa and a game winning touchdown run with 40 seconds left in its win over Northern Iowa. Jantz will need to pull out another heroic fourth quarter for the Cyclones to defeat Texas. Jantz FOOTBALL BIG12 PREVIEW PRESENTED BY THE WAVE ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com BALL STATE BALL STATE @ (2) OKLAHOMA 6 P.M. SATURDAY OCT 1 QU @ Realistically, Ball State shouldn't provide too much of a challenge for the second ranked Sooners. But if the Sooners take them lightly, Ball State could sneak up on them and provide a slight challenge. They do have a convincing win against Army, but also lost at South Florida 37-7. Expect the Sooner starters to put in three quarters of good work before they put in the younger guys to get some experience. If the Sooners truly deserve their number two ranking, they'll take care of Ball State at home with ease. PLAYER TO WATCH Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones. Jones has completed 72 percent of his passes for 1,022 yards, but what may concern Sooner fans about their offensive leader is his 5-4 touchdown to interception ratio. Ball State provides Jones with an opportunity to pad his stats before the Sooners take on Texas next week. Jones KEEPING THE HAWKS ROLLING SINCE 1974 Basketball Car Don's Auto Center Inc.

For writers across the country November is National Novel Writing Month, an online contest that challenges participants to write 50,000 words in 30 days. kcipolla@kansan.com Held initially had no intention of participating, but other members of the Jayhawk-Writers on Campus group, or J-WOC, convinced him to participate in the arduous contest. His book, "The Write Message," follows a 15-year-old boy who hires a literary agent and pursues a publishing deal while trying to balance high school, the challenges of the industry and familial loss. Select chapters of the protagonist's own writing are also included. "You have to go in there knowing what your book is going to be about," Held said. "I didn't have a complete outline for it, but I knew what it was about." J-WOC teamed up with KU "We teamed up with Hewlett-Packard a year ago to start this project and they gave us grant money to come up with ideas to encourage printing on campus," said Rachel Barnes, the KU Bookstores custom material specialist. "What we came up with was the book contest." After months of editing and revising, Held's book was finally ready for publication. The Print- Bookstores to incentivize competing in the contest.

The bookstore also coordinated selling the book in the store and through Amazon.

A: Dan Johnson 1. — ESPN.com MORNING BREW Chiefs need to replace Cassel with 2012 draft pick A By Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com After a successful second season with the Kansas City Chiefs last year, quarterback Matt Cassel continues to struggle this season. Cassel threw for 3,116 yards with 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2010. Solid play from the quarterback, but after three games this year, Cassel has more interceptions than touchdowns and his quarterback rating is 65.5. After throwing an interception in last week's game against San Diego in the final two minutes, Kansas City needs to look for a solid quarterback in the National Football League's 2012 draft. ANDREW LUCK, STANFORD The 64" senior returned for another season and his choice may pay off. Cam Newton was the number one pick last year and Andrew Luck has the potential to follow in his footsteps. Luck is the complete package. He has the size, arm strength and mechanics to be a lethal weapon in the NFL. During his junior campaign, Luck threw for 3,338 yards with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions and completed 71 percent of his passes. His quarterback rating was solid at 170.2. Luck already started this season on a good note, only throwing one interception in Stanford's three games. He's so good, that #SuckforLuck, the concept that an NFL team will perform poorly on purpose to get a higher draft pick, is trending on Twitter. LANDRY JONES, OKLAHOMA The big, strong-armed junior has thrown for 1,022 yards in his first three games this year, completing 72.1 percent of his passes. Jones has four interceptions already, but facing tough talent like Florida State and Missouri, that can be expected. Jones owns seven passing records at the University of Oklahoma. He broke the single-season completion record with 371, and finished the season with 405 completions, and set season and career records for 400-yard games. He also tied the single-game yardage record with 468 yards on an OU record 62 attempts. Jones threw for 4,718 yards with 38 touchdowns in 2010. The 6-foot-4 quarterback is a true pocket passer that would help Kansas City right away. NICK FOLES, ARIZONA The 6"5" 235 pound senior may not receive the public like Landry Jones or Andrew Luck, but Nick Foles deserves attention. Foles has the arm and pocket presence to be a lethal starting quarterback in the NFL. As a sophomore, Foles threw for 2,486 yards with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes. Last year he increased those numbers, throwing for 3,191 yards with one more touchdown and interception. After four games this season, Foles has 10 touchdowns with NO interceptions. He also completed 70 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 154.9. He is a very efficient quarterback that could be a steal in this year's draft. Calling Robert Griffin III the most athletic quarterback in the draft is an understatement. RGIII is a true dual threat. His projected 40-yard dash time was 4.42. Wide receivers and running backs are generally the only positions with that speed! ROBERT GRIFFIN III. BAYLOR RGIII threw for 3,501 yards with 22 touchdowns last year, and he has excelled through the first three games this year. Griffin has more touchdown passes than incomplete passes. He has an astonishly high 236 quarterback rating with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions, and has completed 85 percent of his passes. A freak athlete like Griffin may be just what Kansas City needs. Depending on the Chiefs' season, they will have plenty of options to choose from. The 2012 draft is loaded with solid quarterbacks. If they do get the first overall, Andrew Luck is the No.1 option. If they have a chance for a top-15 pick, Landry Jones would be the best option. The best overall quarterback in the 2012 NFL draft is Andrew Luck, but for the Chiefs to get him, they have to start competing for the worst record in the NFL. Let the "Suck for Luck" campaign begin, Chiefs fans. KU Edited by Jason Bennett THIS WEEK IN SPORTS HYPERCOORDINATE J E Sport Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs.

FOOTBALL REWIND RETWEET 1/2 ANNASAK 3 LAWRENCE 13745267009 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 PAGE 17 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Freshman guard finds home and family at Kansas KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Freshman guard Asia Boyd was ranked No.39 in the country by ESPN Hoopgurz and was recruited by programs across the nation her senior year in high school. The Detroit native began her college search looking primarily for a family away from home. After nearly four years of recruiting throughout high school, Boyd found that family at Kansas. "When you go far from home you expect to have the same feelings and you want to be comfortable where you are and Kansas offers that," Boyd said. Boyd averaged 12 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals a game in high school. She led her high school team to two runners-up finishes her junior and senior years. She was given the Miss Detroit Public School League Award. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was impressed by the size and length on the perimeter that the 6-foot guard had to offer. She compared Boyd to graduates Sade Morris and Danielle McCray who both played professionally after their time at Kansas. "She is aggressive and with the length that she has she will be able to help us on defense and on the glass," Henrickson said. Boyd was recruited by assistant coach Tory Verdi when he was on staff at the University of Nebraska and after he joined the Kansas staff. With his influence, she enters the program as the highest ranked recruit under Henrickson in her seven years with the program. "When you can get a top 100 recruit, it helps you win," Verdi said. "It shows the country that we can bring some of the best players to the University of Kansas." Conversations with Henrickson gave Boyd the impression that Kansas was a place that she could become a more well-rounded person on and off the court. "I could tell that she was looking at me for more than a basketball player; a person outside of basketball that can represent Kansas in a positive way" Bovid said. Henrickson said creating that environment is important to student- athlete success. "I care about these guys off the court and have close relationships with the families," Henrickson said. "They take care of each other and we understand that no one goes through what they go through and they need to go through it together." In addition to her draw to the coaches, Boyd found the support she was looking for in her teammates. "My teammates had a big influence on why I came here just because I felt like we could become a family outside of basketball," Boyd said. For now, Boyd is taking her chances to go home on free weekends to spend time with her family and is looking forward to a visit from her father for Late Night in the Phog on Oct.14. She expects big things from the team this year and hopes to reach the NCAA tournament. "We know we have the potential, we just have to put forth the effort," Boyd said.

His book, "The Write Message," follows a 15-year-old boy who hires a literary agent and pursues a publishing deal while trying to balance high school, the challenges of the industry and familial loss. Select chapters of the protagonist's own writing are also included. "You have to go in there knowing what your book is going to be about," Held said. "I didn't have a complete outline for it, but I knew what it was about." J-WOC teamed up with KU "We teamed up with Hewlett-Packard a year ago to start this project and they gave us grant money to come up with ideas to encourage printing on campus," said Rachel Barnes, the KU Bookstores custom material specialist.

The First Varsity Eight completed the race in 7:00:5 which was five seconds slower than Kansas State's First Varsity Eight. The loss in the final race gave the Kansas Cup to Kansas State. The rowing Kansas Cup series is now tied 7-7. ELISE REUTER editor@kansan.com This weekend, University rowers are headed up to Oklahoma City to measure their progress against several other top-tier schools. The Head of the Oklahoma Regatta hosts competitions between 40 teams, including Texas, who were the Big 12 Rowing Champions last year, Kansas State, Oklahoma City and Stanford. The competition is held Oct. 1-2 along the Oklahoma River. One event that sets it apart from all other regattas is night racing, where pyrotechnics and crowds of onlookers turn it into a spectator's event. Last year, seniors Meaghan Oven and Nicole Schneider took first place in the women's open 2x500 meter petite final. "It was fun to sprint in the smaller boat, which is something that I've never done before. It was great to get that experience and get a win on top of it." Oven said. So far, head coach Rob Catloth has high expectations for the singles and doubles races. Last year at Oklahoma, several University women placed in the top 10 for the women's collegiate single. Catloth's main goal for this race is to gain speed in the women's collegiate eight. Since it's early in the season, the "It's more about getting ourselves out on the water and seeing where we're at," Catloth said. "We want to be able to compete with the other Big 12 schools, and perform at a top level this weekend." regatta serves as more of a benchmark for the team. So far, there have only been three full weeks of practice in preparation for the competition. Long term, Catloth hopes to be. come fast enough to overtake Texas at the next Big 12 Championship. "Our goal is to catch Texas in the Big 12," Catloth said. "We need to make our way up to being as fast at Texas and I think we have some women who can help us work up to that." The backbone of the team is seniors Paige Stephens and Kathryn Schoonover, who placed well in several events at Oklahoma last year. "I think we have really great senior leadership right now. They have this consistency and the ability to just go out and go hard all the time." Catloth said. Some of the younger rowers show promise, too. Freshman Bailey Atkinson has several high school medals' worth of experience behind her, and was named Sunflower State Games 2011 Athlete of the Year. With this combination of the young and the experienced, Catloth has high expectations for the future of the team. "They're very cohesive as a team and working really, really hard this year. We're working to come out this fall at a really high level, so they're training for that," Catloth said.

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.

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.

FOOTBALL REVIEW 1/2 9147082607 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEBB11 which ranked him 109th. This season, Webb's rating is 181.5, making him the fifth most efficient passer in the division. Along with tremendous in-game improvement this past season, Webb has done at Kansas what he had been wanting to do his whole life — lead. "His execution, he's making better reads and he's looking down the field, and is more accurate by far," Beshears said. "He just stepped up as a leader, I think that's the biggest improvement, him stepping up as a leader." "I've said this from day one; he has two very important, crucial traits to be successful and that's Offensive coordinator Chuck Long has seen what sets Webb apart from some of the other Division 1 quarterbacks who also work hard during the offseason. toughness and competitiveness," Long said. "If you have a tough competitor at that quarterback position, people will follow that." FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 Webb's toughness shows on the field, where he often is not afraid to take a hit or make a play that other quarterbacks may not. Pick said Webb once wrestled 305-pound offensive lineman Duane Zlatnik after Webb had beat him in a video game, and Zlatnik continued to talk smack about it. "It it shows that he doesn't really care, he'll go up against anybody." Pick said. He'll be going up against the a Texas Tech Red Raiders defense this Saturday that has not faced any truly threatening quarterback. With that said, the Red Raiders' defense has only allowed an average of 184.3 passing yards in their first three games, an impressive number against anyone. The Red Raiders run a 4-2-5 style defense. The extra defensive back makes it more difficult to throw against than a regular 4-3 or 3-4 defense. But just as Webb has done before, he'll have to overcome some adversity. Going from a freshman in high school who was thought to be too small to play the position, to a quarterback with passer rating numbers near the top of college football is an impressive feat, but not quite impressive enough for the kid who has always had his eyes set on this. "It's been awesome. I worked really hard, I had a lot of good people in my corner," Webb said. "It's cool to be here, but I've got a lot more I want to accomplish." PAGE 21 Edited by Jason Bennett BIERE 11 eight and 28 yards, respectively, the first leading to a touchdown drive. The 28-yard catch came on a spectacular tiptoeing effort on the sidelines. With two Yellow Jackets closing in on him, Biere went from steamroller to "Swan Lake" twisting and turning all of his 250 pounds in mid-air like a ballerina to keep the drive alive. Few Jayhawk fans who attended last year's season opener against North Dakota State could have imagined this kind of raw athleticism and ability to catch a spectacular pass from Biere. In that infamous 6-3 loss to the Bison, Biere had three drops, all on third down plays. In only three games this season, the senior has eight receptions for 94 yards, almost half of his total output from his junior year. Interestingly enough, another argument for including Biere more in the passing attack is who he was before he became a Jayhawk. Rivals.com listed Biere as the 19th-best tight end recruit in the country when he was wooed by former coach Mark Mangino. The Omaha native chose Kansas over Nebraska and was projected to be an impact player for years to come. With only 48 receptions and four touchdowns in his career, that impact has only been seen through flashes of brilliance. But his size alone makes him one of the few current Jayhawks that could get a flier from an NFL team after he graduates. That alone should warrant more defensive respect, especially in the red zone. In one of his excruciatingly repetitive lines in "Madden 12," color commentator Cris Collinsworth says tight ends are like pacifiers for babies. While quarterback Jordan Webb has exceeded all expectations so far this season, he is still a sophomore. Instead of yanking Webb a dozen times per game for predictable Wildcat formations, the coaching staff should draw up more plays for the tight end. Edited by Lindsey Deiter GOLF Shared lead at Dunhill Links Championship ASSOCIATED PRESS The South African shot a 6-under 66 in excellent conditions at Kingsbarns, joining Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Markus Brier and Michael Hoey at the top of the leaderboard. Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen put himself in contention for another memorable victory at St. Andrews, taking a share of the lead Thursday after the first round of the Dunhill Links Championship. The tournament ends Sunday at St. Andrews, the scene of Oosthuizen's sensational seven-shot win in the 2010 British Open. "There's nothing better than holding the claret jug at St. Andrews," Oosthuizen said. "Hopefully, at the end of the week, it's a different trophy. That would be special." Former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell was one of six players a stroke behind after shooting a 67 at Kingsbarns, where top-ranked Luke Donald had a 69 on one of three courses at the $5 million event Fifth-ranked Dustin Johnson, the top American in the field, was five shots back at 71, while U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot 72. Each member of the 178-man field will play all three par-72 courses over the first three days of the pro-am. Kingsbarns hosted the high-profile contenders and had most of the low scoring on Thursday. Seven of the top 10 on the leaderboard played their first rounds there, with Brier and Hoey (St. Andrews) and Scotland's Marc Warren (5 under at Carnoustie) the only players to make a serious mark elsewhere. Oosthuizen missed last year's Dunhill Links — and with it a return to St. Andrews two months after his first major win — because of an ankle injury. He made seven birdies in his回身 after starting on No. 10 with his brother Rikus as a playing partner. "I didn't watch (the Dunhill Links) on TV last year because I was too upset that I wasn't there," said Oosthuizen, whose sole victory this year came at the Africa Open. "But it's nice to come back here and experience everything again. With the weather like this, you should take advantage of it. You never know what's round the corner here." Cabrera-Bello squandered the chance to take the outright lead at 7 under by bogeying the last hole. The 27-year-old Spaniard rolled in six birdies and had an eagle at the par-5 No.3. After getting advice from former coach Clive Tucker, a refreshed McDowell returned from three weeks to make four birdies and an eagle at Kingsbarns. He had a double-boey at No. 12, his third hole. Second-ranked Lee Westwood, Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington and former amateur star Tom Lewis were among the 11 players at 4 under. Aside from a bogey at No. 7, where he three-putted for the first time since the British Open in July, Donald was error-free. He had three birdies in five holes after the turn, just when the wind started to pick up off the North Sea in the early afternoon. Donald is aiming for his fifth victory this year and improve his standing at the top of the European Tour money list. Golfers hit the links for children's charity UNDER PAR ASSOCIATED PRESS Jhonathon Vegas and William McGirt shot career-best 8-under 63s on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Justin Timberlake Shriner Hospitals for Children Open. Vegas, the Venezuelan rookie who won the Bob Hope Classic in January for his first PGA Tour title, had 10 birdies and two bogeys at TPC Summerlin in the first of four Fall Series McGirt, also a PGA Tour rookie, had eight birdies in a bogey-free round. Vegas, playing in hot afternoon conditions, birdied the par-4 15th and par-5 16th to reach 8 under, dropped a stroke on the par-3 17th and closed with a birdie on the par-4 18th to get back to 8 under. "I feel like I'm hitting the ball absolutely great, which is something fun to do," Vegas said. "But the main thing was I made a lot of putts today." "The two greens I missed today, i dashed by probably half an inch. And just putting from the fringe I three- putted both times, which was kind of ironic. It's just golf. It is what it is. You have to stay positive, and the more positive you can be the better you'll be out there." McGirl, playing in one of the last groups of the day, made seven birdies in a 10-hole stretch from Nos. 7 to 16, then parred the final two holes to match Vegas at 8 under. "I really didn't set a number," McGirt said. "I was just trying to make as many birdies as I could. Thursday through Saturday, all you're doing is jockeying for position so that you can make a move on Sunday. "I knew there was a 7 under posted (by Green) before I even teed off. So you knew it was out there, and it was just a matter of staying aggressive and making some putts." Green, the leader until Vegas overtook him in the final hour, made seven birdies.

CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN PAGE 22 Team focused for Big 12 games SOCCER THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com After a brief break from conference play last Sunday against Oral Roberts, the Kansas soccer team jumps into the heart of the Big 12 schedule this weekend. Both Texas (7-3) and No.24 ranked Texas A&M (8-4) will come to Lawrence on Friday and Sunday, and even though these are well-known conference opponents, it can be a double-edged sword. "There's a familiarity there, but they are familiar with you too, so there's a flip side," coach Mark Francis said. In order for the Jayhawks to be successful this weekend they realize consistency throughout their formation is important. "We have to play a balanced game," Francis said. "We've obviously got to do a good job of defending their attacking players, and I think take advantage of the opportunities we have at the other end." Francis also pointed out that the game against the Longhorns might be a battle of wills with limited scoring. Freshman defender Caroline Van Shambrouck, a Texas native, played club soccer against several of the players on both the Longhorns and Aggies. "I don't think there will be a ton of opportunities for either team," he said. "I think it's going to be who makes the most out of the chances they get." Her defensive awareness along with her teammates are crucial parts to the team's chemistry. "We need to stay focused and we need to make sure we're always communicating and reading each other really well," Van Slambrouck said. "I think if we do that, and we do what we've been working on in practice than we'll get a good result." During this week of practice Kansas (7-4) also made some alterations with the girls positioning on the field that will be on display this weekend. "We're at that point where we need to adjust a little bit," Francis said. "Practice has been good so I think it's paying off so we'll see how it goes." The other part of this modification will also include the Jayhawks' offensive attack to continue to provide goals. So far this season, Kansas has "Just playing my role well and taking people on and creating a lot of dangerous opportunities and really looking to be a distributor on the been effective with 26 goals in 11 games, but the emphasis is still there to keep playing at a high level. outside," she said. In particular, the Jayhawks scoring will be necessary in the second game of the weekend with Texas A&M coming in Sunday. Currently the Aggies have scored 47 goals through 12 games, the most in the NCAA. is why they put on the Jayhawk uniform. "This is what we've been waiting for," sophomore midfielder Amy Grow said.

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.

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."

Both teams are statistically identical, but the x-factor will be Aggies running back Cynus Gray, who only rushed for 35 yards on 13 carries last week. Expect lots of passing from both teams, but whoever can establish the run will win the game. Saturday, October 1 11:00 a.m. CT 34-27, Texas A&M Both teams suffered tough losses to top-10 teams, but AAM is the more complete team. Arkansas is weaker on defense and the Aggies will not let another collapse happen again. 31-28, Arkansas Texas A&M's defense "help" one of the best offenses in the nation to 30 points. Seniors Ryan Tammell and Cyrus Gray won't let the Aggies fall out of contention for a BCS bowl birth four weeks into the season. The Aggies will come out fighting to prove that will be more than just a doormat once they join the FCC. The Razorbacks will welcome A&M to SEC country, by giving them a taste of what life on the road in the SEC will be like. Junior quarterback Tyler Wilson has been tearing opposing defenses up and after seeing what Brandon Weeden did to the Aggies, Wilson should be flicking his chops getting ready to face the Aggies defense. 35-14, Baylor 37-17, Baylor HOTELS H 38-24, Baylor Robert Griffin III is good. He is really good. Griffin III has thrown more touchdowns than incompletions so far this season, but don't expect that statistic to remain. The Heisman trophy candidate is competing against a Wildcats team that has been impressive defensively, allowing only 246.3 yards per game, which is sixth in the nation. The Wildcats have not seen a quarterback as prolific as Griffin III, and if Griffin III shines again, the Bears will remain undefeated. The Kansas State defense has been one of the best in the nation, but they won't be able to contain Baylor's Robert Griffin III. Griffin and the Bears will add their first signature win on the road as Griffin maintains his position at the front-runner for the heisman Trophy. The Kansas State offense won't be able to lose up. Kansas State had a huge win against Miami (FI) on the road, but they gave up a season high 411 total yards. Robert Griffin II threw for a career high 404 yards last October against the Wildcats. GRIL will lead the Bears to a comfortable win in Manhattan. 35-28, Baylor The Wildcats are buzzing after defeating Miami last week, but Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is just too good to lose. He has thrown one more touchdown pass than incomplaints. Kansas State has not yet faced a team that has a legitimate passing threat, and will not be ready to face Griffin and the Bears.

Since the Case McCoy and David Ash tandem took over for Garrett Gilbert, the longhorns seem revitalized. Expect the Longhorns to rely on running back Malcolm Brown to sustain offensive adequacy. Texas is too talented to lose this game. Texas lost to Iowa State last year that started the decline to a dismal season. This year, the Cyclones are barely outscoring their opponents, 88-80. ISU's Jantz threw three interceptions last weekend and Texas has five picks through three games. Texas squeaks by with a tough road win. Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz will pull out another gritty performance and lead a game winning drive that will give the Cyclones their second consecutive win over Texas and propel them into the Top 25. @ Texas rotates two young quarterbacks who will be thrown into an environment in Aimes that will be rocking. The 3-0 Cyclones are coming off back-to-back wins over Iowa and Connecticut that have raised eyebrows.

The Badgers offensive attack might be the toughest test the Cornhuskers black-shirt defense will face this season. Taylor Martinez is still developing as a quarterback, and the Badgers defense has been stifling, yielding only 8.5 points per game. 35-21, Wisconsin Embarking on their first season in the Big Ten, the Cornhuskers open conference play in Madison against the Badgers. New Badgers quarterback Russell Wilson and the rest of the offense has played phenomenally 31-23, Wisconsin rolls around. rolls around. The running back combination of Montee Ball and James White will run down the Nebraska defense and open up the passing game for their Heisman candidate quarterback Russell Wilson. A late interception by Tyler Martinez will end the Nebraska comeback bid. 38-31, Wisconsin Madison will be ready to "Jump Around" this Saturday, with ESPN Gameday coming to town. Wisconsin has the eighth best offense in the country, as their always strong running game is now paired with a passing attack that ranks 30th in the country. Nebraska's first game in Big 10 country won't go well, as Wisconsin's offense is just to much for the Cornhuskers to handle.

RETWEET 9142387654 ASHI FIGHT OFF/KANSAN Erica Greve, a first-year biology student from Humboldt, lets her green-cheeked conure parakeet Susie and Farrah perch on her shoulder. "I have been fascinated with birds since I was little." Greve said. "I was born with a connection." BIRD IS THE WORD KU student's love for feathered friends turned into breeding business ALEXA RUSH arush@kansan.com As a child, Erica Greve's classmates referred to her as the "crazy bird girl." She was known for constantly talking about birds while outside for recess. She always checked out books about birds from her school's library, drew countless pictures of them and decorated her bedroom in bird themes. "As my mom tells the story, 'bird' was my first word. As I grew up, I just became more obsessed. I used to get made fun of a lot, but now it makes me stand out," Greve said. Not only is she a bird fanatic, but she has created a career of breeding them. Greve is a non-traditional student from Humboldt majoring in biology and working toward veterinary school. Balancing time between classes, work, her family, the social scene and her birds can prove to be a challenge, but she sees it as a learning experience. Greve sells her chicks to Pet World on 23rd Street once they are mature and ready to be separated from their parents. Greve feels comfortable selling to Pet World, rather than individuals, because she feels that they will get the best care and attention possible. "I absolutely love the people at Pet World," she said. "I know and trust the store and I know that when the babies are here, they will get excellent care, which makes me feel really good." Her motherly instinct tends to kick in when it comes to the health and happiness of her birds. She often refers to them as her "babies" and tends to take care of them as if they really were. She makes sure that her own birds, two green cheek conures named Suzie and Farrah, receive the right nutrition by cooking pasta, eggs and many other vegetarian foods for them. Greve also makes sure that they get plenty of attention and is even known to walk around Massachusetts Street with the pair perched on her shoulder. Greve actually started breeding birds when she was just seven years old. Over the years, she has gained experience in breeding parakeets, finches, fan-tailed pigeons, and recently, her green cheek conures. Greve breeds her conures once a year during a warm season. Greve advises that something someone should consider if they're interested in a pet bird is how long it will actually live under good care; it can be anywhere from 15 to 80 years, depending on the species. People who aren't certain where they will be in the future might consider waiting on getting a bird. One day she wants to open a bird sanctuary, where she will take care of displaced birds and foster them out to good homes. "Birds really are sensitive creatures, emotionally and psychologically, so when their families leave them, it hurts them," she said. "That's a big issue with birds that I'm passionate about and want to help with in the future." To the inexperienced, breeding these birds could seem to be a complex process, but according to Greve it's actually quite simple. All that is needed is a nest box that allows the birds privacy. After a few weeks of poking and prodding the box the birds will start to mate and eggs will soon follow. "My guys breed easily compared to other birds; if you just SEE BIRDS PAGE 3 LAWRENCE KOSH Clyde Barrow, played by Shawn Trimble, emerges from the bank with shotgun in hand in Friday's re-enactment of the 1932 robbery of the First National Bank of Lawrence, which occurred in the same location. MAX MIKULECKY/KANSAN 1932 robbery re-enactment BOBBY BURCH bburch@kansan.com Hundreds of people gathered at the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets last Friday evening to watch a re-enactment of the 1932 heist that began Clyde Barrow's bank-robbing career. Portraying Barrow, Lawrence Theater actor Shawn Trimble waited outside of Teller's restaurant, which was once the First National Bank of Lawrence, with a sawed-off shotgun and two other cronies armed with 45 caliber pistols. "This is a stick-up, no funny business," Trimble shouted as he pointed his double-barrel at Mayor Aron Cromwell, who was acting as the bank's president. Theater Lawrence's production began with a cocktail party at the Historic Eldridge Hotel's ballroom where guests could mingle and pose for photos with members of the gang. Jenna Haugen, a PhD student from Marion, Ky., said she was excited to attend the re-enactment after learning about the Lawrence robbery. "Seeing the roots of a place is always interesting," Haugen said. "History was made here and these are the places that make you feel like you might be a part of this history." Following a reading of the events that led up to the robbery, the actors paraded down Massachusetts Street followed by groups of spectators. Encircled by the audience outside Teller's, the performers demanded Mayor Cromwell take them to the vault to collect the cash. After exiting the restaurant with the bags of loot, the crowd whistled and cheered as the gang escaped in a 1933 Ford that was used in the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou." An estimated $33,000 was taken from the First National Bank of Lawrence during the robbery in 1932. The event was the first of many bank robberies for Barrow as he and his partner, Bonnie Parker, who would form one of America's most famous crime duos "Bonnie and Clyde."

His book, "The Write Message," follows a 15-year-old boy who hires a literary agent and pursues a publishing deal while trying to balance high school, the challenges of the industry and familial loss. Select chapters of the protagonist's own writing are also included. "You have to go in there knowing what your book is going to be about," Held said. "I didn't have a complete outline for it, but I knew what it was about." J-WOC teamed up with KU "We teamed up with Hewlett-Packard a year ago to start this project and they gave us grant money to come up with ideas to encourage printing on campus," said Rachel Barnes, the KU Bookstores custom material specialist.

Mexico's Human Rights Commission is investigating an elementary school for allegedly forcing sixth-graders to strip down after $13 disappeared. The national commission said in a statement Sunday that the principal and teachers of a public school in the city of La Piedad ordered the children to take off their clothes on Sept. 23 when they were searching for money that had gone missing in the classroom. The commission sent staff to interview the students and other local authorities. Phone calls to the elementary school seeking comment Sunday went unanswered. YAOUNDE, CAMEROON An official says police have arrested 126 protesters seeking independence for English-speaking Cameroon. The police official says they were arrested Saturday and Sunday for defying public order. They follow the arrests of 50 activists from the Southern Cameroons National Council who demonstrated Saturday. The official asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to journalists. Saturday was the 50th anniversary of British Cameroun's merger with the former French Cameroun. The protest follows other recent unrest as Oct. 9 elections approach. On Thursday, gunmen carrying signs opposing President Paul Biya blockaded a bridge and shot at police in the city of Douala. MANILA. PHILIPPINES Typhoon Nalgae slammed ashore in northeastern Isabela province Saturday, then barreled across the main island of Luzon's mountainous north and agricultural plains, which were still sodden from fierce rain and winds unleashed by a howler just days earlier. Nalgae left at least three people dead Saturday. Typhoon Nesat killed 56 others and left 28 missing in the same region before blowing out Friday. Rescuers scrambled Sunday to deliver food and water to hundreds of villagers stuck on rooftops for days because of flooding in the northern Philippines, where back-to-back typhoons have left at least 59 people dead. China's National Meteorological Center urged people in areas expected to be lashed by rainstorms in the next three days.

WARSAW. POLAND The communion wafer in question developed a brown spot in 2008 after falling on the floor during a Mass in the eastern Polish town of Sokolka. Two medical doctors determined that the spot was heart muscle tissue, church officials have said. Bialystok Archbishop Edward Ozorowski said during the Mass that in history, the "substance of Christ's body or blood has become available to the human senses, and this also happened in Sokolka."

WITH CATHERINE STETSON & GREGORY KATSAS The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes a requirement that all persons have health insurance coverage starting in 2014. Those who do not will have to pay a 'penalty' to the government. One federal court of appeals recently ruled that this requirement exceeds the powers of Congress. Another federal court of appeals ruled that it is essential to make the system work and is within the power of Congress to regulate matters affecting interstate commerce.

Anderson, who was a former Kansan staffer, was an avid Jawahawk fan. IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com If you talk to the people who knew Drew Anderson, they will say he was, first and foremost, a Jayhawk fan. He was rooting for Kansas in Saturday's football game with his family when he fell ill. Anderson died that evening at KU Medical Center in Shawnee. Friends of the family said the exact cause was not yet known. Anderson, 22, a University graduate from Kansas City, Kan., suffered from muscular dystrophy since childhood. He was confined to a motorized scooter as a University student, but friends and acquaintances talked about his humor, independent spirit and a wisdom beyond his years. He was born in Germany where his father was stationed with the military, but Anderson lived in America since infancy and graduated from Piper High School in Kansas City, Kan., in 2007. He graduated from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications in May 2011. During college, Anderson also served as a copy chief for The University Daily Kansan. Even those who only knew Anderson casually were impressed with his maturity. Sergio Banos, a supervisor at Ekdahl Dining Commons, became familiar with him over three years while Anderson lived next door in Lewis Hall. "He was a very calm man." Banos said. "Very focused on his education. A very cool man." "I told him not to go over 35 miles per hour in the dining hall," Banos said. Banos came to know Anderson well enough to joke with him, even about his scooter. Doug Ward, associate professor of journalism, knew Anderson as a student in his editing course and as a copy chief at The Kansan. Anderson jokingly complained to Ward that the three young women in charge of the newsroom were fussing over him and treating him to potluck dinners. "They just adored him," Ward said. "He loved people, and they loved him back. Drew forced people to look inside themselves deeper because he saw the world so positively. He had this infectious personality and he lighted up the room." Joel Petterson, a senior from Prairie Village and a current managing editor for The Kansan, knew Anderson as his supervisor on the Kansan copy desk and also worked alongside him as a copy chief. He said Anderson never let the stress of the work show. "He was always trying to lighten the mood," Petterson said. "He was always joking around and he was a crazy, die-hard KU sports fan." Petterson said Anderson dressed in Jayhawk colors and was loyal to his home teams. Even last week, while sports commentators were captivated by the late-season battles of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, Anderson was more concerned with the troubles of Kansas City Royals draft pick, Bubba Starling. Brian Lindstrom, 38, knew Anderson better than most. He volunteered as Anderson's personal camp counselor at a Muscular Dystrophy Association summer camp for 10 years, and the two maintained a close friendship even after Anderson was too old to attend. "He didn't have a lot of buddies to hang out with on a day-to-day basis," Lindstrom said. "So, I tried to be that for him, even though I'm 16 years older." of his parents' softball team. Lindstrom moved from Overland Park to Shawnee so the two could spend more time together. Anderson was the best man at Lindstrom's wedding, and with good reason; he was the one who introduced the couple when they volunteered at the MDA summer camp. Through his friendship with Anderson, Lindstrom practically became a member of the family. He attended basketball games at Piper High School when Anderson was the team manager, and Anderson cheered Lindstrom on as a member "I think he's been a mentor to a lot of people," Lindstrom said. "He came into my life when I needed him." Lindstrom said he had set out to provide guidance and care to Anderson, but found he received more than he could give. After graduation, Anderson sought a job as a copy editor at newspapers in Lawrence and the Kansas City area. He had written on his blog about how much he enjoyed working with words and with people, and wrote that he had found his niche in the job of an editor. Ward said Anderson wanted to stay in Lawrence if possible because the city's public transit system offered him independence as he moved into adult life. Anderson's home was richly adorned with University memorabilia. He found his professional calling here and he lived for Jayhawk football and basketball. "He loved KU" Lindstrom said. "This is what he used to say: 'Bill Self is my priest, Allen Fieldhouse is my church, and Phog Allen is my god'" Edited by Sarah Champ EDITORIAL When words don't do justice It's hard to avoid superlative clichés when talking about someone like Drew Anderson. Even for someone whose life revolved so much around words, words unfortunately don't come close to doing Drew justice. BIRDS FROM PAGE 1 You could say he brightened up every room he entered, which is true. But unless you saw the way he ran what could be one of the most stressful rooms on campus – the Kansan newsroom – without ever breaking his laid-back and sarcastic demeanor, you wouldn't fully understand how he affected those he worked with. He could show more affection with a teasing comment than many people could with their best compliment. You could say he overcame any obstacle that came his way, but that would be one of the greatest understatements you could make. Drew was able to make you forget that he faced more obstacles than anyone else, even though his muscular dystrophy meant he had to use a motorized wheelchair to get around everywhere. And if you ever heard him complain, it was probably about the jayhawks offense or the Royals' pitching and not any of the numerous complications he faced with his disease. You could say he has gone too soon, that he was robbed of as promising a future as any graduate from the University of Kansas had - which is all too true - but that would be ignoring everything he accomplished in his life already. It would ignore the work held done at The Lawrence Journal-World and The Kansan, for which he won an award from the School of Journalism. It would also ignore all the people whose lives were made more amusing and more enjoyable from Drew's presence. But to really understand, you simply would have had to know him as so many people on this campus did - as a friend. All of us at The Kansan certainly counted him as a friend, and we will miss him dearly. Joel Petterson, Managing Editor No one knows where Greve's great interest came from, as she was the one who brought the interest in birds into her family's life. At the age of six, Greve's parents gave her a pair of parakeets, her first birds. Since this day, Greve has constantly had birds in her home. put the box in, they're ready to go. It's in their nature," she said. "I was born with a connection to birds. I've had them most of my life, so I'm used to everything they do," she said. "They're loud, make messes, and even poop on me; but I don't care at all. None of it phases me anymore." Greve's family and friends have all grown to love and respect her passion for birds. Aley Pennington, a senior from Leavenworth, has known Greve for two years and is fascinated by her hobby. "It's definitely one of those hobbies that kind of defines a person, or at least it does for her." Pennington said. "She adores her birds. I think she could talk about birds all day to anyone who would listen. And I know if she had her way, she'd be a bird instead of owning them." Her passion has paid off over the years. Greve's love for birds has only continued to grow, and she doesn't see the pace slowing anytime soon. "I'm comfortable with being the bird nerd now; I rock it," she said.

Members of the historic Eldridge Hotel asked the University student group, KU Filmworks, to record the reenactment and create a short promotional film of it. Lucas Singleton, a senior from Hutchison and member of KU Filmworks, said that the group used a golf cart and a crew of 10 film students to capture the action as it unfolded. "I didn't expect there to be so many people gathered in the street," Singleton said. "But we had good coverage of everything." Tom Wilson, owner and operator of Teller's, said that he would like the re-enactment to become an annual event for Lawrence's downtown activities. "Next year, we're going to try to promote and do things to bring more business to Lawrence," Wilson said.

Five KJHK staff members sat in the apartment of James Baker, JKHKs live events director, Sunday afternoon. The music was turned up and pizza was passed around, but there was little talking, Baker, music 40 seconds into each song. %but one complained. a senior from Dallas, changed the "We try to make it a fair and even playing field," Baker said. "No one here knows any of the bands' names." On scraps of paper, KJHK staff rated the music based on five categories: quality, originality, "KJHK-ness", live show and personal preference. "KJHK-ness" is whether or not the band would be played on KJHK, Baker said. He said all genres are welcome and diversity is desired. The staff also considers the fact that some bands may not have access to the same level of recording. "The quality of recording can definitely hamper the decision. The Will Nots, who won last year, submitted live recordings." Baker said. "So there's proof you don't have to have studio-quality recordings to win the Farmer's Ball." This year, KJHK experienced some technical difficulties in its submission process, Baker said. Baker said the resubmission might have encouraged more bands to apply. He said 20 to 30 bands normally submit for the event, but this year the staff received 34 entries. "Our server didn't handle some of the MP3s, so we basically started a campaign to resubmit," Baker said. "We think it only affected five or six submissions. I'm pretty sure we recovered all of those." Alex Applegate, a junior from Wichita and KJHK staff member, said he enjoyed participating in the selection process this year because he hasn't had much exposure to local music. "I really wanted to see a good variety of music and that's definitely been met," Applegate said. "It's like listening to a nice mixtape from Lawrence." "This is the jumping off point for a lot of bands, at least for the Lawrence scene," Baker said. Baker said the Farmer's Ball is a great way for local bands to gain exposure. Tyler Anderson, the lead singer of "We had been working on demos and it seemed like it was about time." Anderson said. "We played together for a long time, but we hadn't been pushing for something serious." last year's Farmer's Ball winners The Will Nots, said KJHK's competition came at a good time for the band. Anderson said winning the Farmer's Ball was a confidence booster. "It was an awesome experience and really nice to have the support of the people we live with," Anderson said. The Will Nots will perform at the Farmer's Ball pre-party at 9 p.m. on Oct. 13 at Jackpot Music Hall.

I've totally been rocking it old school! CINEMA Nick Sambaluk Drive-in relishes film GALVA, Ill. - One hundred and sixty miles southwest of Chicago, a man has planted a pair of reconditioned 20-by-48-foot drive-in movie screens in what used to be a cornfield. I went out there the other night, to Galva Autovue Drive-in (admission: $3 for anyone older than 3), owned and operated by a full-time factory worker, mellow drive-in fanatic and Peoria native named Justin West. "Cool" doesn't begin to describe it. The Autovue was one of the great outdoor filmgoing experiences of my life. Beautiful late-summer weather. The Big Dipper tipping high above the screen showing "Captain America: The First Avenger." A concession stand in a steel building serving Sprecher's root beer, "cheesy tots" and excellent popcorn. A slow cooker filled with melted butter, inches from the cash register. It was enough to make a nostalgist weep buttery tears of joy. “This place,” West says, “has paid for itself, though it has not” really given me anything else. But I enjoy it." He loved drive-ins as a kid. When he left Peoria for college in the early 1980s and returned four years later, his favorite drive-ins were already gone. The Autovue keeps the dream and the tradition alive, he says. But "this conversion to digital the film companies are forcing on the theaters - I know it's going to save them a lot of money ..." West says, his voice trailing off. Bucking every entertainment trend on the planet, West opened the Autovue in 2005. "Ever since I opened I've had people come up to me in one of the projection booths and ask: 'Where are the DVD players?' They don't have a clue how this works!' He chuckles, ruefully. West thinks a lot about how the forced conversion from film to digital will zero out an untold number of small-town theaters, outdoor and indoor, along with various second-run houses in larger urban areas. KU Red Lyon Tavern A figure commonly batted around: 75 percent of box-office revenue comes from 25 percent of the theaters.

Keep financial industry out of politics POLITICS "The banks ... frankly own this place." By Luke Brinker lbrinker@kansan.com This was Sen. Dick Durbin's (D-III.) assessment of Congress in April 2009. Durbin's comment came when Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress by healthy margins. Even as the nation found itself mired in the depths of a Wall Street-precipitated financial crisis, industry lobbyists continued to hold sway with lawmakers of both parties. Congress then passed the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, which President Barack Obama signed into law last year. The legislation grants consumer protections, protects investors, calls for more transparency and accountability, and attempts to end bailouts for businesses considered too big to fail. However, Wall Street escaped the financial regulatory process mostly unscathed. The law didn't break up "Too Big to Fail" corporations. CEO of JP Morgan Chase and Obama contributor Jamie Dimon's endorsement of the measure shows how little the law changes business for financial behemoths. Unsurprisingly, lobbyists are hard at work to weaken tougher elements of the law, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Keenly aware of the importance of making savvy investments, the financial industry has given generously to both Democrats and Republicans. Obama bested Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in financial sector contributions in 2008. Now former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) leads Obama in industry contributions for next year's elections. Wall Street will make sure to hedge its bets in the political battleground. Obama's proposal to close tax loopholes that allow wealthy investors to pay a low 15 percent capital gains rate has alienated many of his onetime financial backers in the financial industry. But it's hardly fatal to the industry. Aided by the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, financial institutions can continue to wield clout with key political players. Obama's "Buffet Rule," which requires the wealthiest citizens to pay at least the same tax rates as the middle class, may not please Wall Street. But the administration's effort to undercut New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's crackdown on abusive mortgage practices shows that Obama is far from an enemy of finance. The Wall Street-Washington connection extends beyond contributions. Government officials and financial figures move freely through a revolving door of jobs in D.C., and the industry. In 1999, President Bill Clinton signed legislation allowing commercial and investment banks to merge, paving the path for the formation of Citigroup. Within days, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, a former Goldman Sachs CEO and key backer of the law, left his job for a senior Citigroup position. This year, Peter Orszag, Obama's former Office of Management and Budget director, secured the plum position of vice chairman of global banking at Citigroup. According to Ron Suskind's book "Confidence Men," Orszag was one of the administration officials advising against a tough approach to the banks in 2009. Who loses out in this system? When centrist deficit demagogues in both parties take "shared sacrifice" to mean deep cuts in spending on social and health programs, while at the same time shunning a tax on financial transaction and higher taxes on the rich, it's clear whose voices really count. What can be done to fix this? Bringing accountability on the financial sector is impossible if policymakers continue to rely on the industry's money for re-election. That's why TV host Dylan Ratigan's petition for a constitutional amendment to ban political contributions is a welcome development. The petition, at getmoneyout.com, campaigns for public funding for elections and freeing politicians from financial plutocrat's influence. — Luke Brinker is a senior from Topeka majoring in history.

Then Kansas sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb rolled right on first down and under threw his targeted receiver, freshman JaCorey Shepherd. FOOTBALL "JaCorey was coming on an over route, making himself available to me and I thought he was going to continue it, but he made the right read and the way it happened the guy undercut the ball," Webb said. epadway@kansan.com Red Raider safety D.J. Johnson intercepted Webb's pass and gave his team the ball on the Kansas 25-yard line. Webb's interception was the first of the day for the lashawks, but it wouldn't be the last, as they saw their 20-point first quarter lead evaporate in just under eight minutes. Webb's next pass came three minutes later and although the throw was better, the result was the same. The ball ricocheted off the outstretched fingers of sophomore receiver Chris Omigie and into the awaiting arms of Johnson. "He's such a competitor, he wants to come back and do it again, like, give me that play over again," said offensive coordinator Chuck Long. Not all of Webb's passes ended up in the hands of his opponents. He completed 72 percent of his passes, three of which went for touchdowns in the Jayhawks 45-34 loss to the Red Raiders. The team recovered three of them and got a boost on the fourth. After losing possession of the ball, on the next play freshman safety Keeston Terry stepped up and intercepted Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege's pass at the Kansas 20-yard line. touchdown pass that was officially credited to junior receiver Kale Pick, after he recovered senior tight end Tim Bieres' fumble in the endzone to put the lashwah up 20-0. The Kansas offense lost the ball on Kansas' four turnovers on the day proved to be too much of a burden to overcome, as it derailed the teams offense and put the defense in too many short field situations. Texas Tech started four of their drives in Kansas' territory. the AstroTurf four times, but were lucky not to have been burned too badly by any of the fumbles. "We worked 10 minutes on that very same coverage concept," said defensive coordinator Vic Shealy. "When they ran one of the routes it's just proof in the pudding that as you work a young kid he gets better. I guess I'm proud of him in a sense that he took from the practice field to the playing field and that's encouraging for a young kid." The interception set up Webb's The Jayhawks had only turned the ball over once in their first three contests. "That's the big, deciding factor. You can't turn the ball over three or four times against a good football team and win," coach Turner Gill said.

The Jayhawks will travel to Stillwater, Okla., next week to take on Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks accumulated 34 points and for the second game in a row, won the time of possession battle despite losing the game. Even so, the Jayhawks' four turnovers killed their momentum. Grade: C+ Offense Defense On a day when the defense allowed 530 yards of total offense, it's tough to call it an improvement, but it actually was. The defense held the Red Raiders to just 7-17 on third downs and intercepted their first ball of the season. Grade: C Special Teams The kickoff coverage had a tough time getting sophomore Ben McRoy to the ground, but held him to a 21.8-yard average. The real struggle came on a blocked PAT and fumbles by the return team. Grade: D Coaching The Jayhawk coaching was initially good as they jumped out to an early 20-0 lead. However, for the second week in a row, the Jayhawks struggled coming out of halftime, with their halftime adjustments not on par with their opponent's. The Jayhawks have been outscored 76-21 in the third quarter this season. Grade: C- Game Ball Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon: Bourbon only received 10 carries in the game, but he shined when given the opportunity. Bourbon ran for 101 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter. Even with the team down, Bourbon continued running hard in the second half. Bourbon P. Delay of Game Sophomore wide receiver Chris Omigie: Omigie failed to haul in any passes thrown his way and had two passes deflect off him and land into the awaiting arms of a defender for an interception. D. K. MUSUBE Glass Half Full Glass Half Empty The defense managed to stop junior quarterback Seth Doege in the first half, a promising sign for a defense that failed to show much of anything the previous game against Georgia Tech. If the defense keeps improving, they could play spoiler later in the year to a team trying to win the Big 12 title. It took a little under eight minutes for the Jayhawks 20-point lead to disappear. If teams can score this easily against Kansas, it will only get worse as the Jayhawks move on against even better teams on their slate. Still Questioning Can the layhawks put together a full game against a BCS division opponent? Kansas has seen its last two games close at halftime only to see them blown wide open in the third quarter. If they can't put together a full game, they're going to struggle getting a win against any Big 12 opponent. Biggest Answer The Kansas retro uniforms looked even better on the field than they did in the online releases. Even though they reminded many of the old Houston Oilers jerseys, they were received well by fans on the Internet and should be used for future retro games by the Jayhawks in years to come. Looking Ahead Kansas enters its toughest two-week stretch, playing back-to-back top five teams in Oklahoma State next week then Oklahoma at home. After that they take on Kansas State at home. The schedule is starting to look rough. Good, Bad; or Just Plain Stupid The 49-35 prediction was only five combined points off of the final score. This one goes down in the good category. 29 --- PAGE 8 MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2011 SOFTBALL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Pitchers, hitters shine in two home victories 34 Senior catcher Leah Daibler high fives her teammates after scoring a run during Sunday's game against Butler County Community College at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks won 8-0. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN ASHLEIGH LEE alee@kansan.com The Jayhawk pitchers heated up Arrocha Ballpark yesterday afternoon with 19 strikeouts on the day. Junior transfer Morgan Druhan struck out six Washburn University batters during the first of two games. Druhan's streak continued into the second game against Butler County Community College, striking out two batters in the three innings she pitched. "Our pitching staff looks really strong," coach Megan Smith said. "They're taking command out there and really working their pitches and working locations and mixing speeds." Senior pitcher Ashley Spencer threw two scoreless innings, followed by freshman Emily Stokes who struck out the final two batters of the game. Freshman infielder Maddie Stein helped gain another out for the Jayhawks in the sixth. During the second game against Butler County the game lulled from the second inning until the sixth. The Jayhawk offense took off after junior outfielder Maggie Hull hit home senior catcher Leah Daiber and sophomore outfielder Elsa Moyer. The Jayhawks scored six runs during the sixth inning putting the score 8-0 at the end of the game. Communication played a key role between the players. Senior pitcher Ashley Spencer noticed and commented on the teamwork between everyone. Maggie Hull said that the communication has helped with the freshmen for the fall season. "Honestly the communication has been great between the upperclassman and the freshmen," said Hull. "Here on the softball field we don't know age and that's how we treat the girls. We expect them to come in here and step up and obviously they did today, especially the pitchers. The pitchers did great as did the hitters; they're as much of the team as anyone else". With the fall season almost to a close the team has a few goals in mind for the spring; to keep building off last season and to make it to Regionals this year. Focusing a little more on conference play the Jayhawks look forward to seeing what the spring will bring.

The women's basketball team was featured in the Hy-Vee Hawk Zone event this week. Other Kansas sports teams will cycle through the event, with a different team featured for each of the six home football games. Though the morning started early with small children running around and screaming, sophomore forward Tania Jackson said she enjoied the event. "It means a lot for us to see the smiles on their faces, it brings all the excitement to us," Jackson said. Junior forward Carolyn Davis said she loves being around kids and they made the day special. "It is early, but they make it fun," Davis said. "They just want to be here with us." At 6-foot-3, Davis has learned to sit down when she is not running and playing with the kids to make her seem more approachable. In her third year of events like this, she has developed strategies to keep each one exciting and fun. "I try to do a different greeting every time they come, ask them different questions and just interact with them because it makes it easier for them to have fun," Davis said. Freshman guard Asia Boyd was stationed at the moon bounce, which she loved because she said it was her favorite as a child. The Detroit native has three younger siblings and said that it reminded her of her family. "It is just like being at home; a little bit chaotic," Boyd said. Jackson said that the event is a good opportunity for players and fans to interact. "It gets the kids and everybody a chance to get to know us off the court," Jackson said. "If they get to know us and they see that we are good people, they pass that along and that restarts our fan base." As the game started, the team shuffled into reserved front row seats in the student section where they cheered on the football team together. "It is good to do things like this and promote their games because they will come and do the same for us," Davis said. Edited by Josh Kantor The Eldridge + Boulevard Brewing Co.

"Instead of swimming up and down the pool all the time, this is something that gets the athletes out of the pool and out of their comfort zone and makes them stronger." Campbell said. In the fall, the team meets on the field to work on general strength and conditioning for six weeks before moving into more specific training. Twice a week, the team meets at 6 a.m., and after a brief warm-up team members split into three rotation groups. Each drill lasts eight minute with 30-second breaks. In the first station the team runs bleachers, from the track to the top of the stadium and down. "The hardest part is telling yourself mentally to keep going and not giving up when all you want to do is sit down," Caroline Patterson, a freshman from Boulder, Colo., said. In another rotation, the team drags large weighted tires in 20-yard increments. They aim to make it from beginning to end in less than ten large pulls. "Backward pulls to make the posterior chain stronger and because in swimming so much is in front of you, this helps open them up and get them stronger on the backside." Campbell said. Friday, the Blue team edged the Crimson team with a score of 144-123. Taking an early lead, the team won four of the first six events, the 200-yard medley relay, the 1000-yard freestyle, the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard butterfly. The last station is placed on the ramps closest to the parking lot of the stadium. The girls kneel on small wheels joined by a wooden bar and drag themselves up the ramps using only their upper bod. "When you have Stephanie Payne, Deanna Marks and Brooke Brull all step up the way they did, they are going to be hard to beat." Campbell said. After the meet, Campbell chose the 18 of the total 25 swimmers who will swim in the next meet against Arizona, Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center in Tucson. The team is now looking to use the base that the morning practices provided to continue to improve in the pool.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN VOLLEYBALL Third Big 12 loss for Jayhawks KANSAS CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Saphomore defensive specialist Brianne Riley digs an attack at Wednesday night's game against Iowa State at Horeisi Athletic Center. Riley had 13 digs in the Jayhawks 22-25, 17-25, and 15-25 defeat to Iowa State. KU is now 11-3 for the season and 0-2 in Big 12 play. MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team lost its third straight Big 12 contest on Saturday, but if digs were any indication, it was not due to a lack of effort. The Jayhawks (11-4, 0-3) recorded 96 digs in four sets, but ultimately fell to the Baylor Bears (12-6, 13) on Saturday night in Waco, Texas, 23-25, 25-17, 25-25, Sophomore libero Brianne Riley led the defensive effort with a career-high 34 digs. Coach Ray Bechard said he was more satisfied with his team's effort in Saturday's loss than he was after last Wednesday's loss to No. 16 Iowa State. "When you dig that many balls in only four sets, you know you're competing extremely hard," Bechard said. "But the execution has got to match that effort." Bechard's squad had late leads against the Bears in both the first and fourth sets, reaching the 20-point plateau first in both. They would ultimately let each lead slip away, losing both sets by slim margins. Beachd hopes to overcome the team's weakness in closing out late leads before Big 12 play resumes for the jayhawks on Oct. 8. "It was a hard-fought match, but there was some disappointment in how it ended," Bechard said. "We just didn't make enough plays to finish." Riley said the team has developed a bad habit of losing energy and composure when they reach the 20-point marker in sets. "Our defense as a team, we have a lot of talent and a lot of depth, even off the bench," Riley said. "We are really good at defense, but we haven't showed it as much these past couple of games." "Yeah, I feel that we were going for a lot of balls and just not letting anything drop," Jarmoc said. "Baylor is known to have very good defense too, so we definitely had to match them in that area." Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc agreed that defense seems to be this team's strength at the middle of the season. The Jayhawks also earned careerhighs in kills from Jarmoc and sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael. The duo notched 16 and 10 kills, respectively. Carmichael, who is filling in for injured freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton, also finished with a.152 attack percentage. Riley said Carmichael's continued growth is key to the teams outlook for the rest of the season. The Jayhawks will get a breather from the Big 12 when they host the University of Nebraska-Omaha at 6:30 p.m. this Tuesday. Riley said she won't be taking her opponent lightly but views the game as an opportunity for the team to regroup. "Our injuries have given us a little adversity, but our team adapts really well to that," Riley said. "People have stepped up really well for us, especially Cathy on the outside." "It should be a game where we can go out and improve on things we need to improve on," Riley said. "Everyone needs to get on the same page before we can be ready to restart Big 12 play."

A: 22-6 — ESPN.com MORNING BREW Braves blow postseason chance While the nation saw Boston's historic freefall from atop the American League wild-card standings, another monumental collapse went mostly The Atlanta Braves have an 8.5-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sept. 5, but after going 9-18 in September, Atlanta would lose that lead 23 days later on the last day of the season. The Braves, who appeared bound for October baseball, are now faced with the harsh reality of the offseason. Whenever a team collapses at such a magnitude the fan base looks for someone to place blame on. So who is at fault when it comes to the Atlanta Braves? A lot of people would like to blame first-year manager Fredi Gonzalez, but other than tweaking around the lineup, there wasn't much Gonzalez could have done to stop the bleeding. By Andrew Joseph ajoseph@kansan.com Atlanta's bread and butter all season was pitching. The Braves had a stellar starting rotation and the league's most dominant bullpen. When September arrived, the wheels began to fall off for both components. Braves' starting pitcher Jair Jurriens was 12-3 with a league-leading 1.87 ERA at the All-Star Break, but injuries plagued the young right-hander so much in the second half that he did not pitch again after Aug. 30. In addition, starter Tommy Hanson was among the league leaders in strikeouts before his shoulder injury in early August. The absence of two of Atlanta's best three pitchers forced the Braves to rely heavily on the struggling Derek Lowe and a contingent of young arms. Up until September, the bullpen trio of Eric O'Flaherty, Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel was an unhittable force. The closer, Kimbrel, went from June 11 to Sept. 9 without giving up a run, but he would eventually blow more saves in September than the previous three months combined. Atlanta's bullpen was so overused during the season that they had nothing left for the final month. Venters, in particular, led all major league relievers with his 85 appearances, and Kimbrel wasn't far behind with 79. Both Kimbrel and Ventors displayed a lack of command in September, and this is indicative of being overworked. Through the first five months of the season, the pair's ERA was an impressive 1. 46, but it jumped to an alarming 4.94 in September. The Atlanta pitchers needed the offense to provide run support, but instead of responding to the challenge, the Braves' offense disappeared entirely. The Braves depended too much on homeruns and timely hitting to produce runs this season, and Atlanta's .235 batting average in September made consistent run production nearly impossible. As cold as the Braves' bats got, the St. Louis offense ignited. When the Cardinals kept winning, the Braves players appeared more noticeably nervous by the day. Players like Jason Heyward and Dan Uggla weren't able to support an offense that looked very talented on paper. —Edited by Sarah Champ The bottom line is that the Braves coated through September while the Cardinals played with passion.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY BANSAN S sports N.Y. UNIVERSITY SOFTBALL TEAM WINS TWO AT HOME A balanced pitching and hitting attack strengthens Jayhawks. PAGE 8 COMMENTARY VOLLEYBALL LOSES THIRD STRAIGHT CONFERENCE MATCH PAGE 9 FOOTBALL YANSA 2 Statistics highlight weakness A season ago Kansas averaged 17.1 points per game, 111 out of 20 teams. It was also 113th in total offense averaging 296.4 yards per game. A box score doesn't tell the whole story, but it says a lot. And although numbers don't lie, they can be misleading. Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com The Kansas offense ranks 25th in total offense averaging 455.3 yards per game. Kansas also averages 36.3 points per game for 29th in the nation. Those aren't bad numbers considering the Jayhawks' opponents have outscooped them 76-21 in the third quarter. Kansas' defense couldn't help those numbers. But this year is different. The offense is producing numbers that should be good enough to win ball games. The offense can only do so much. But the Jayhawk defense is bad As a snowy how bad is it? Edited by Laura Nightengale The Jayhawks' defense is so bad that giving up 530 yards of total offense to Texas Tech actually improved its yards per game allowed. Kansas now allows 545 yards per game, which is 119th in the Football Bowl Series. Rice is the only team that is worse, allowing 549.75 yards per contest. Look on the bright side though basketball starts in 11 days. Those aren't the numbers you want to see, especially when Kansas still has five games remaining against teams in the top 11 of total offense. Kansas has already faced the second (No. 13 Georgia Tech, 587 yards per game, 51.6 points per game), seventh (Texas Tech, 525, 47.3) and 18th (Northern Illinois, 467.4, 37.2) ranked offenses. Next week's opponent, No. 6 Oklahoma State averages 571.8 yards per game, good for third best in the nation. The team also scores 46.8 points per game. Not to mention Kansas will play that game on Oklahoma State's home field in Stillwater, Okla. The Cowboys open as a 29-point favorite. I wouldn't be surprised if Oklahoma State scores 70 points more. Kansas' problem is easy to spot. The defense is bad at making tackles and poor in pass coverage. The Jayhawks haven't been horrible at stopping the run if Georgia Tech's 604-yard performance is taken out of the equation. The pass defense has given up 292.5 yards per game because of poor coverage and missed tackles. The Jayhawks take poor angles to the ball and try to tackle with the arms instead of wrapping up opponentswith their bodies. The other teams Kansas will face include No. 3 Oklahoma (fourth, 555 yards per game, 42.5 points per game). No. 24 Texas A&M (ninth, 518.5, 37.5). No. 25 Baylor (fifth, 552.8, 47.3) and Missouri (11th, 517, 36). NEW LOOK, OLD GAME 52 MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Senior linebacker Steven Johnson looks down in disappointment after losing the game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Jay hawks had a three point lead at half but lost the game 45-34. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com A second-half collapse paved the way for the Jayhawks' second loss of the season. After starting the game on a 20-0 run, Kansas fell 45-34. For a start that couldn't have gone any better for the Jayhawks, the end couldn't have gone much worse. Kansas opened the game with a 20-0 lead over Texas Tech. The Red Raiders then finished it by outscoring Kansas 45-14, in their 45-34 victory over the lawhaves. Kansas got off to its successful start while sporting its retro, Columbia-blue, red-trimmed jerseys. Excitement over the new look appeared to carry over onto the field early in the game, as the previously struggling Kansas defense stopped a dangerous Texas Tech offense on its first three possessions. "They were fired up playing on homecoming with the new uniforms and it seemed like we couldn't stop them," Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville said. The first quarter belonged to Kansas, outgaining Texas Tech 218-82 yards and outscoring the Red Raiders 20-6. Then, just one play into the second quarter, everything changed. "It felt like we were definitely going to shut them out the rest of the game," junior linebacker Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb under threw his freshman receiver Jacorey Shepherd and was picked off by the Red Raider defense. Texas Tech scored two plays later to cut the Jayhawks' 20 point lead, to six. The following Kansas possession, Webb responded to throwing his first interception of the season with his second, Kansas had let Texas Tech into a ballgame they never should have been in. In the three-play span, the momentum had shifted 180 degrees. Tunde Bakare said. "It took a different tide after they ended up getting a turnover." Kansas took a three-point lead into halftime and when they returned to the field, the Jayhawks early enthusiasm had disappeared. "I feel like there was a little energy drop. I think that some guys got their heads down," safety Keeston Terry said. The drop in energy became clear with the Red Raiders scoring 21 unanswered third-quarter points and outgaining the Jayhawks 224-73 vards. Senior linebacker Steven Johnson couldn't deny that the Jayhawks lost their energy, but he also couldn't pinpoint why. X "I don't know what it was. I don't know if was the fans leaving or the turnovers," Johnson said. "It just felt like air was being let out of the room and we were trying to fight back, but at the same time, our backs were being put up against the wall" Third quarter despair is nothing new for the Jayhawks who have been outscored a total of 76-21 in third-quarter play this season. After the halftime break, it's clear the Kansas coaches haven't been able to make the necessary adjustments and keep the team's energy level up. Coach Turner Gill couldn't deny that their third-quarter routines have got to change. "We'll continue to talk about it as a staff, as far as what we're doing at halftime adjustments," Gill said. After blowing a 20-point first-quarter lead, the Jayhawks missed out on a pivotal opportunity to open Big 12 play with a win and to build excitement around Lawrence. With No. 5 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Oklahoma up next on the schedule, chances to get Big 12 wins will be slim, and the Jayhawks will regret not being able to seal this one. Edited by Sarah Champ SOCCER Exhausted team outplayed by A&M RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com The Jayhawks' two-game weekend ended with a deflating 3-0 loss to No. 24 Texas A&M on Sunday at home. With several soccer alumni returning for homecoming weekend, Kansas hoped to put on a good showing. However, it was clear on Sunday that the double-overtime win over Texas on Friday had worn down the Jayhawks. Kansas' exhilarating victory on Friday came with a game-winning goal in the 115th minute from sophomore forward Caroline Kastor, which gave the Jayhawks their first conference win of the season. "Whitney [Berry] had a great pass and she's obviously great at distributing to the perfect spot," Kastor said on Friday. "I kind of saw it coming in and I got away from my defender and just went for the header." Even though the team seemed unusually tired after Sunday's game, Kansas did not use it as an excuse for how it played. "Sunday games are always harder than Friday, but [Texas A&M] had a tough game against Mizzou too," freshman forward Jami Fletcher said. "I think it balanced it off." The Jayhawks had plenty of opportunities near the goal against A&M getting off 16 shots, but they struggled for many of the attempts to stay on frame. "We had some really good opportunities today, we just didn't finish them," coach Mark Francis said. "Friday, we finished our chances really well. Today, we didn't. It's probably the first game we had where we really haven't done a good job finishing opportunities." The Aggies got off to a speedy start scoring in the 10th minute, when freshman midfielder Katie Perry found senior forward Merritt Mathias on a pass. Mathias maneuvered around the defense before knocking the ball a good job finishin opportunities. "It's probably the first game we've had where we really haven't done a good job finishing Even though the Jayhawks gave up five goals in the two games this weekend, they feel like the defensive adjustments they made this weekend will help them in the long run. "I think we still played pretty well defensively, sophomore defender Madi Hillis said. "I don't think the goals necessarily reflect how well we played." goals better than us, but the score was 3-0," Francis said. into the left upper corner of the net, giving the Aggies the early 1-0 lead. Texas A&M came into this weekend leading the NCAA with the most goals scored. The team secured its ranking by adding two more goals in the 33rd and 83rd minutes of the game. After breaking even on the home weekend the team hopes it can now refocus and "It was disappointing. I didn't think they were three COACH MARK FRANCIS focus a start to work on some of defensive changes. "We've got to work on the offensive part of the game. Defensively, now, we're pretty sound." Francis said. "Offensively, we do a great job up to the attacking third, we just got to be more efficient."

Out of state students accounted for 26 percent of first year freshmen and 21 percent of the student body as a whole in the 2010-2011 academic year. The office looked at data to determine recruitment hot spots. Some of these out-of-state regions include Chicago, Texas, Minnesota, St. Louis, Denver, and parts of the Northeast.

She works 15 hours a week during the evenings where she sends out information to prospective students and speaks to them on the phone. the number of telecounselors increased from just 10 students last year.

She spent all of her time with the girls who lived in the hallway of her residence hall, which had only two suites. "Since it's a small school, it's very much like high school," said Winkler, a sophomore from Chicago in her first semester at the University. "Basically you were friends with who you lived with. That's how everyone was." The girls quickly formed extremely close friendships through this constant companionship, a predictable outcome according to Chris Crandall, a professor of social psychology. Crandall, along with Kate Pickett, a KU student, and Angela Bahns, a professor at Wellesley College, just published a study comparing friendships at large universities with those at small universities in Group Processes & Intergroup Relations. "If there's a large selection of potential friends — a big, diverse group — you are substantially more likely to find someone more similar to you," Crandall said. "So we thought at a big university with tens of thousands of students on campus, a person would be able to find someone very well tailored to their interests." The three researchers wanted to study the relationships between students in college and whether the size of the university played a role in the quality of friendships. Crandall and his team found that at the University of Kansas, friends tend to be very similar to one another on a variety of things: attitudes, beliefs, politics and prejudices. Without a lot of potential friends to choose from, students at small universities are almost forced to make do with those around them. "You may be satisfied with your automobile if it's the only one in town, just like friendships," Crandall said. "If there's not a lot of alternatives, people tend to commit to, invest in and be satisfied with their relationships." Although friends at small colleges are not very similar, small-school students said their friendships were closer than those at large schools. "It's smaller groups and youre not going out all the time meeting new people," Winkler said. "Were all very different but since it's your tight, little group you know everything about everyone in two months." To conduct the study, Crandall and his team approached students interacting in public places such as the Underground, Wescoe Beach and the Union, and asked the pairs to fill out surveys about their attitudes toward races, social issues and health habits. The survey also asked friends to rate their closeness on a scale of one to seven. Students at Wellesley College completed the same survey to provide the small-school statistics. Wellesly is an all-girls school with an enrolment of about 2,400 students in Wellesley, Mass. "The effects are ironic, because you might think 'I will go to KU to have a chance to meet diversity' COMPARISON OF FRIENDSHIPS IN SMALL AND LARGE SCHOOLS 110 participants from large school (RU) 198 participants from small schools Closeness scale of 1-7 5.25 5.87 Length of relationships in months 34.9 26.8 Hours spent together per week 20.99 24.53 SOURCE: "SOCIAL ECOLOGY OF SIMILARITY; BIG SCHOOLS, SMALL SCHOOLS AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS" and what happens instead is your friends are even more similar to you," Crandall said. "There's experience with diversity, but it seems to be at arm's length." Cory Ingenthron, a junior from Topeka, said he and his roommates, who have lived together for the past three years, are all similar in that they always want to be right when arguing with each other. After living together for so long, the group has developed similar tastes in music and movies. Whether students have a large or small pool of potential friends to choose from, Crandall said there are a few things that must be present in a friendship. "If something is important, people will make friends on that basis," Crandall said. "So you and your friends agree on important things, but disagree on unimportant things." For Jeni Frewin, a junior from Springfield, Mo., said she met her closest friends through a Christian organization called Young Life. "Our values are all the same so we have that common denominator," Frewin said. "What makes our friendships cool is were all involved in different stuff and we all have different majors but we come together to lead Youne Life." Crandall said the importance of this study applies to society as a whole and not just college communities. Not only do students gravitate toward people who look, think and behave similar to themselves, but most of the world does as well. Crandall used immigrant communities in large cities as an example, because when people move to foreign countries, neighborhoods often become a slice of their native culture. Having experienced both friendship styles at Hope College and now at Kansas, Winkler enjoys the larger pool of friends to choose from. "Here, you can choose your friends," Winkler said. "I've met a lot of people that are more like me and that I'd choose to hang out with. You're going out every weekend with different people and you're meeting new people all the time. You don't spend all your time getting to know one person."

Decapitations are frequently carried out by gangs in drug-violence-plagued cities such as the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco and in northern Mexico, often to intimidate or threaten rivals. But it was the first multiple decapitation in the capital since January 2008, when two heads were found near the city's international airport. Two heads were also found in the same vicinity in December 2007. Those killings were believed to be related to a drug shipment that had been seized at the airport. LAGOS, NIGERIA The office of the Mexico City Attorney General said that one of the heads found Monday had been placed on the hood of a sport utility vehicle. A piracy watchdog group says armed pirates have raided a chemical tanker off the coast of Benin in West Africa. The International Maritime Bureau issued a statement Monday saying pirates attacked the tanker Sunday off the coast of Benin's capital, Cotonou. The bureau says that pirates boarded the tanker with automatic weapons, prompting the crew to hunker down in an on-board safe room until Monday morning. It says the pirates escaped with cash from the tanker, but no one was hurt or held hostage. Violent pirate attacks in West Africa's Gulf of Guinea have risen in recent months, leading an umbrella group of London insurers to list Nigeria, neighboring Benin and nearby waters in the same risk category as Somalia. WARSAW. POLAND Roman Catholics in Poland gathered Sunday for a special Mass celebrating what they see as a miracle: the appearance on a communion wafer of a dark spot that they are convinced is part of the heart of Jesus. The communion wafer in question developed a brown spot in 2008 after falling on the floor during a Mass in the eastern Polish town of Sokolka. Two medical doctors determined that the spot was heart muscle tissue, church officials have said. Bialystok Archbishop Edward Ozorowski said during the Mass that in history, the "substance of Christ's body or blood has become available to the human senses, and this also happened in Sokolka." "For God, nothing is impossible," Ozorowski said. HANOI, VIETNAM It was already too late when Nguyen Van Cuong heard a neighbor shout "Thief! Thief!" Two men on a motorbike had snatched up his beloved pet dog "Black" and were whizzing away. Coung and the neighbor sprinted in vain as the professional dog thieves hurled bricks, one of them slamming into the head of a bystander and killing him. Similar fights have erupted across Vietnam between dognappers who sell man's best friend to restaurants and fed-up villagers who have increasingly turned to vigilante justice to pursue culprits because there is little police can do. Mobs have chased down thieves and clubbed them to death — even setting one on fire. But the bandits use everything from bricks to arrows to fend off the villagers and ensure their payday.

A total of 13 are held for each, with junior days held during the spring and senior days during the fall. Each day usually sees between 100 and 150 prospective students. STUDENTS TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN Skyler Richardson, a junior from Salina, and Ashley Balsbaugh, a freshman from Overland Park, speak to a tour group while walking in front of Lipincott Hall. The Student Ambassadors program is a volunteer program that runs all year and gives tours to kids and parents from all over the country. These days give prospective students a look at the institution through student interaction, panels and tours. "It's easy to visualize being a student when they can see the classroom spaces, visit the buildings and walk among other students," DeBoer said. "It ites to feel right, and a tour gives them the opportunity to feel that," Creaden said. Ambassadors get to meet students from all over the country, which gives them the chance to share their experiences as a student at the university. Creaden also said the tour helped prospective students know what it was like to be a student on the KU campus. "We go to a unique institution with the tradition and sense of community and being able to share that with people is a rewarding experience," DeBoei said. As part of being an ambassador, students must be up to date with facts about the University, having to know the material of the 89-page Student Ambassador manual. Before giving tours, new members, of whom there are 36 this year, must pass exams over the book's content. While remembering the information can be difficult, ambassadors also must be able to walk backwards, know the sidewalks and not run into things during a tour. Despite the work required, ambassadors still do their best to share their experience. "You have to be energetic and enthusiastic regardless of what you have going on in class or at work and still share that passion for the University," DeBoer said. In addition to helping out with events on campus, traveling to high schools around Kansas and giving tours, ambassadors also spend time writing postcards. Ambassadors meet once a month as well as for other social events between meetings. These meetings often include touring a building on campus so that ambassadors can expand their campus knowledge. In addition to representing the university, ambassadors enjoy the community of the group. "Because we don't get paid, it's a group of people who really care," said Holly Lafferty, a sophomore from Fairway. visit days and sees the experience as benefiting her future career as a park ranger. She points to practicing giving tours, making good friends, and developing interpersonal skills as benefits to being an ambassador. In her second year as an ambassador, Lafferty enjoys dressing up as the Baby Jay mascot during the "Being an ambassador improves your people skills, and you learn about the school you go to," Lafferty said. "It's a good way to give back to KU." Edited by Ben Chipman college. ADMISSION FROM L1 Admissions also hopes to increase student body diversity, and is doing so with the multi-cultural recruitment team. Much of the work is done by the traveling admissions representatives. "We spend a lot of time each year traveling to high schools and communities to bring KU to college bound students all across the country," Jessica Walters, senior admissions representative, said. In addition to traveling and event planning, Walters communicates with students through letters, emails, phone calls and face-to-face interaction. Dubbed "Road Warriors" for the amount of time spent on the road, representatives have a variety of informational programs at high schools and colleges in Kansas and other states. Each representative is designated a specific region, with many focusing in state. "I work hard and strategically to make connections and build relationships with students, parents and high school counselors," Walters said. "I am their liaison with the rest of KU and it's my job to show them KU and how KU can match their college needs." The office also stays connected with the other academic offices around campus so that students can be put in contact with resources related to their desired plan of study. "Often times, that's where we really see students go from 'I'm just looking' to 'I'm ready to be a lavhawk.'" Walters said. Another focus is to personalize the recruitment process. This year, admissions employs 15 student telecounselors to build relationships with potential students to promote the University. This time of year is especially busy as admission and scholarship deadlines approach. The primary goal is to give future students a sense of community before they even get to campus. "We want them to feel like they're coming into the school already belonging," Gaylor said. "The staff works really hard to make sure students know what it means to be a lajahawk." Edited by Laura Nightengale NATIONAL Massachussets man charged in terror plot pleads not guilty ASSOCIATED PRESS WORCESTER, Mass. — A man accused of plotting to fly explosives-packed remote-controlled model planes into the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol pleaded not guilty Monday. The bail hearing that had been scheduled for Rezwan Ferdaus, of Ashland, was delayed for several weeks because his lawyer, Catherine Byrne, asked for more time to prepare. Authorities said Ferdaus, a 26-year-old Muslim American with a physics degree from Northeastern University, was arrested in Framingham last week after federal agents posing as al-Qaida members delivered what he believed was 24 pounds of C-4 explosive. They said the public was never in danger from the plot. Byrne said the case was "orchestrated and facilitated by the government." "We have asked for a continuance for additional time in order to prepare and to further investigate so that we can present a more complete picture of what happened," she told reporters as she left the federal courthouse Monday. The arrest was the latest in a string of terror arrests to emerge from similar sting operations. A federal affidavit says Ferdaus began planning jihad, or holy war, against the U.S. in early 2010 after becoming convinced through jihadi websites and videos that America was evil. A group of nearly a dozen family members and friends attended Ferdaus' court appearance. Several women, including his mother, wept as the charges against him were read. They shouted "We love you!" as he was led out of the courtroom; he quietly answered, "I love you, too." Ferdaus faces as much as 100 years in prison on charges including attempting to damage and destroy national defense premises and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. A detention hearing is set for Oct. 20. Also in attendance were the parents of Tarek Mehanna, another Massachusetts man arrested in a different terror plot. They said they did not know Ferdaus' family but went to show their support. Mehanna is scheduled for trial later this month; authorities say he conspired to provide material support to al-Qaida and kill U.S. troops in Iraq. Position filled after student resignation STUDENT SENATE JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH jblakeborough@kansan.com Carlye Yanker, a junior from St. Louis majoring in finance and accounting, became the most recent addition of the student executive officers when senators voted to approve her appointment during yesterday's full senate meeting. Yanker replaced Courtney Sheldon as assistant treasurer after Sheldon resigned Sept. 14. Balancing her roles as vice president of standards in Kappa Delta sorority and advisor for Mentoring In the Lives of Kids (M.I.L.K.) Yanker applied for the position to apply classroom knowledge in a substantial position. "The best part is that I am working with a real life budget and can make a difference by helping to fund student organizations," Yanker said. Vice president Gabe Bliss and treasurer David Cohen assisted in the interview process while president Libby Johnson made the final decision on who was hired. Johnson said interviews went well within the pool of applicants. Yanker is working hard to catch up on how the internal processes of student senate interact with the treasurers' office along with the software used by the office and the rules and regulations of student fees.

The seven-year grants will fund the KU GEAR UP program, which helps prepare underprivileged youth for college. The University's previous grants for the program had expired, forcing it to go through the competitive grant-application process again. In all, 56 institutions including nine state governments — received the federal grants this year. Nigundi Kamataka, the director of the University's Educational Opportunity Programs, said the support of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools were vital in securing the University's grants. Kamatuka also said that in light of recent economic instability and growing student-loan defaults, the KU GEAR UP program would be adding financial literacy and discipline to its curriculum. —Dana Meredith READ MORE IN THE EDITORIAL ON PAGE 5 FLAGGING FOR AWARENESS LIFE!

On the rock band's previous album, "Narrow Stairs" (2008), bassist Nick Harmer said he and his band mates were getting along but were wallowing in dark places personally. "The band was a rock of a relationship to depend on, but outside of the band there were transitions in life, dark clouds hanging over," Harmer said. "But in between that album and the making of 'Codes and Keys', we all came out of that and are all in great places. ST.

Early on, Harmer said, his band liked the romantic idea of four guys going off into the woods to work on an album, cloaking themselves in mystery and emerging with a masterpiece. But they quickly realized that concept doesn't work for them. "We tried that, and it didn't go so well for us," he said. "At the end of it, we lost our mind and our perspective. The fun seeped out. We became very critical about what we were doing and very precious about everything." By recording in more fragmented ways, the band feels more invested in the project and is more apt to adhere to a start and finish time. "You have to be more efficient and work harder because you're not just (recording) indefinitely," Harmer said. "Idefinitely understand where that word comes from," Harner said. "For me, emo music was presented to me as more hardrock edged, bigger guitars, and it seemed to have a little more glamour involved.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: H equals V TELEVISION Movie, more shows for 'Arrested' fans On Sunday, during a New Yorker Festival event that reunited him with the show's cast, Hurwitz promised the audience that a film adaptation of the Bluth clan was still in the works—and there even a set of nine or 10 television episodes, each focusing on a certain character, that would serve as a curtain raiser to the movie. Hurwitz said he was about halfway done with a screenplay with his co-writers Jim Vallely and Dean Lorey. No details on what studio is backing the movie or the TV episodes, nor which network the TV portion would be broadcast on. LOS ANGELES — An "Arrested Development" comback on the big screen? It's the myth that keeps on giving since the show went off the air five years ago. But fans of Fox's quirky comedy who have longed for its return in movie form can now breathe a little easier with creator Mitchell Hurwitz's latest morsel of hope. Jason Bateman, who starred as Michael Bluth, also took to the masses and tweeted Sunday: "It's true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early '13." VERY excited." Current "Up All Night" star Will Arnett, who appeared in "Arrested Development" as Gob, confirmed the news on Twitter: "I'm peeing with @batemanjason at the moment ... and we can confirm that we are going to make new AD eps and a movie." THE NEXT PANEL McClatchy Tribune AMC LOEWS HERE? WELL, IT'S TH THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORST OF TIMES... CHARLES DICKENS CHOOSES THE UNLIMITED MINUTES PLAN MOVIES CLEVELAND — Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez have taken a couple of major road trips recently. Bus tour promotes 'The Way' One, on a big bus, has taken them to more than a dozen cities, including Cleveland not long ago. The trip aimed to promote "The Way," a movie about modern way-farers walking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago religious pilgrimage through France and Spain. Estevez wrote and directed the movie and his father, Sheen, stars; it opens in some cities on Friday and in others on Oct. 14. Nick Sambaluk "We don't have a $40 million print and ad campaign to bombard the airwaves," Estevez said. "But we do have ... The Cleveland visit included an invitation-only screening at Cleveland's Tower City Cinemas to generate early word-of-mouth praise for the film. Sheen, Estevez and producer David Alexian have also done interviews during their tour stops. "A $40,000 bus," said Sheen on cue. "Rented, of course." Could that happen? "When we were making the film, we said, what's the demographic for this film?" Estevez said. "We thought, well, maybe AARP-ers, maybe backpackers. And we started screening the film, and we realized maybe the demographic is The reaction from some audience members in Cleveland was comparably emotional, and in many cases grateful for a film that is not about big-budget action and explosions. Estevez has likened the film to "The Help" in its focus on smaller-scale human drama; he hopes his movie can draw something akin to the enthusiasm greeting the other film, which has grossed more than $155 million at the U.S. box office. "The Way" stars Sheen as an eye doctor who decides to complete the pilgrimage after his son (played by Estevez) dies in an accident early in his own journey along the Camino. On the trip, the doctor meets other travelers, and they all have emotional realizations during their trip. The movie, Estevez said, "celebrates family, faith and community, and the best of our humanity," issues that seem to preoccupy Estevez these days; his next project will be "Johnny Longshot," the first in what he hopes will be a series of family films set around harness racing in Lebanon, Ohio. human beings, period." "The Way" began gestating in 2003 when Sheen traveled along the Camino by car during a hiatus from "The West Wing." Estevez's son Taylor, then 19, was working as Sheen's assistant and went along; in Spain, he met an innkeeper's daughter, moved to Spain and later married her.

Investing in middle school students also means investing in the University of Kansas' future. KU GEAR UP example for future programs EDITORIAL By being approved once again for grants through the federal GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Education) program, the University of Kansas is continuing its leadership in helping at-risk primary and secondary school students in Kansas City, Kan. The two grants, which provide a total of $1.28 million each year for the University's KU GEAR UP programs for the next seven years, will fund efforts to help 1,600 sixth and seventh graders at Coronado, West, Arrowhead and Eisenhower middle schools prepare for success in college and graduation. The approval comes after a previous 12-year grant for the programs expired last year. This is what we were talking about in last Thursday's editorial on the University community utilizing externships as ways to help public schools. Education isn't the only way of providing a service to local schools; professional majors including engineering, journalism, business and medical students can help struggling school districts' infrastructure while inspiring young students to make higher education a goal. Helping out local schools through our own initiatives and No, I will not be friends with your dog on Facebook. These students are the future of Kansas City, the University, state and the nation. By leveling out the playing field for underprivileged students, and showing them the value of higher education through the University's campus, program director Ngondi Kamatuka and his team are investing in better prepared future University students. resources — including students, faculty and staff — gives the University intangible advantages when recruiting Kansas and out-of-state students. are given a look at the University's campus and are given "cultural excursions," such as going to a Kansas City Royals baseball game when their incomes may not have allowed it. Graduation rates of students in the programs are higher than at-risk students not in the program according to Kamataka, citing his 12 years of experience directing the programs. In the program, students are taught in a way that teaches them life skills, instead of how to simply pass a test. Middle schoolers serving the state, it should endorse KU GEAR UP as a proven model for future programs in all fields of study to help Kansas' children and communities. Kamatuka felt that immense support from Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little contributed to the approval of the grants.

WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER? Saudi Arabia not alone in gender inequality On Sept. 25, the king of Saudi Arabia announced that finally, Saudi women will be granted the right to vote. This right, along with the right for women to run in elections, will come into effect in the year 2015. By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com Although striking down barriers to participation in the political process is an important step forward, many have taken this as an opportunity to criticize several of the other shortcomings the state has in the area of women's rights. Although the ability to participate in the political process is an important step forward for women in Saudi Arabia, there are still other hurdles that may prevent their full involvement. Even though Saudi women will be able to vote, they still are legally prevented from driving. Because women cannot travel anywhere without a male chaperone, their mobility is significantly limited and could prevent women from making it to the polls, especially if a woman's spouse or father objects to her right to participate. Over the summer, several women disobeyed the ban on driving in protest. Several were arrested and later released. One woman was sentenced to 10 lashes after driving a vehicle. Soon after this announcement that women would gain the right to vote, however, the Saudi King overturned the sentence. This civil disobedience shows Saudi women are actively seeking to be engaged in the political discussion. The right to vote is an important piece of that engagement, but when it is diluted by other barriers, it becomes a less effective tool in the process. The struggle for reducing discrimination against women in Saudi Arabia is one of many gender equality struggles across the globe. In many places, gender discrimination is so blatant and appalling that it serves to give women in countries like the United States a sense of gratitude to have more freedoms and a greater sense of gender equality. Certainly in comparison to these grave injustices, women in the U. S. are much more fortunate and enjoy countless rights, many resulting from the efforts of previous generations of activists demanding rights for women. But, our rights are still not all encompassing. Health care is a major issue affecting women in the U.S right now, especially in Kansas. Access to contraceptives and important cancer screenings are at risk because of political games surrounding abortion. Those types of health care are indispensable to women in the U.S.; because of low access for poor women and little accountability, it is more dangerous to give birth in the U.S. than in 49 other countries, according to maternal health reports by Amnesty International. Though there are large disparities in the amount of rights afforded to women in various countries, it is clear that even in the U.S., there is room for improvement. Ever important is remembering the rights we do have that are not protected for many women in other parts of the world. But, it is time that we recognize that even though ours are less visible than those struggles, gender disadvantages still need to be addressed here.

The show itself did successfully blow me away but there was something else happening that has continued to bother me at live concerts. Our pockets now have a device that holds everything we need to know, as long as we have 3G service available, by connecting to the Internet. This availability has become our memories. Everything we need — instead of the use of recalling it in our minds — we just whip out our phones to get the answers. We are rendering the ability to think by relying too much on technology. For example, instead of trying to think and to recall something, I immediately go to Google to give me the answer. The problem is that shortly after clicking on the Wikipedia link, what I looked up slips away, and I have to look up the answer again. The bottom floor, packed full with ecstatic fans, was incorporated sporadically with the glow of cell phones in the air trying to turn the present moment into a memory that could be looked back upon in the future. The Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates never wrote a word. He saw books as a "technology" that should not be trusted. In the dialogue "Phaedrus", which was written by Plato, Socrates claimed that books create forgetfulness in our minds because it does not exercise memory. It is not experienced wisdom but only a semblance of wisdom. The irony in this is that without Plato writing the dialogues of Socrates' life we would never know anything about him, and As technology continues to make our lives easier, it also takes the passion of the moment away. The people at this concert were more focused on their IPhone screen then they were on the stage. This technology allows us to show others what we have witnessed by posting on YouTube and other media sites, but it also takes away the feeling of truly enjoying the moment as it is happening live. This goes to say with the whole idea of recording a concert with a Smartphone instead of being a part of the live experience. We think more about preserving these experiences on our hard drives instead of our minds. My overall concern is one day every single person at concerts will have their phone in the air to record the stage and this would be way too many distractions for me to enjoy myself. Socrates tried to warn us that technologies would interrupt our thought process, and replace our memories with only the false perception of a memory. Moffitt is a senior in English and philosophy from Wichita. CARTOON I try to reflect how I even used to spend my time five years ago when I didn't have the option to watch television reruns on the Internet. What did I do? Back in High School I used to read every night before I went to bed, but now I watch a random TV episode that I stumble upon on Netflix. By Jake Moffitt jmoffitt@kansan.com Ok, we'll move the 2012 primary forward to January 31. ..and the 2016 primary will be held Feb. 1. I think he has a relevant point when it comes to modern society. Technology is turning into our memories. Society has to adjust to these changes in technology by using them as a tool to help and not as the source of our knowledge. Socrates made these claims about technology many centuries ago. They still have relevance to our modern culture. Our generation is far beyond the technologies of books and writings for we have so much more and it is almost too convenient. The fact that I can watch an episode of Arrested Development by the click of my mouse is in itself, the most incredible thing ever.

Oklahoma (4-0) (Last week 1) National Ranking: No.3 AP The Sooners beat up on Ball State Saturday, yet still dropped a spot in the AP rankings for the second consecutive week. A victory against the 11th-ranked Longhorns in the Red River Rivalry will secure their spot in the top three. OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY 2. Oklahoma State (4-0) (Last week 2) National Ranking: No. 6 AP Oklahoma State was idle after defeating Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, and should be ready to get its third-ranked total offense against Kansas' defense, which is ranked 119th in yards allowed, this weekend in Stillwater, Okla. 3. Texas (4-0) (Last week 5) National Ranking: No.11 AP Texas avenged its 2010 loss in Austin to Iowa State by thoroughly dismantling the Cyclones in Ames, Iowa, over the weekend. The Longhorns scored 34 points before the Cyclones managed to put anything up on the board. C 4. Kansas State (4-0) (Last week 7) National Ranking: No. 20 AP The Wildcats defense allowed quarterback Robert Griffin III to put up 346 yards and five touchdowns, but stopped him when it mattered most in their upset victory that propelled them into the Top 25 polls before they take on the Tigers in Manhattan on Saturday. BAYLOR BEARS 5. Baylor (3-1) (Last week 3) National Ranking: No.25 AP A five-touchdown performance by Robert Griffin III wasn't enough to give Baylor the victory in its first game of the season outside of Waco, Texas. The Bears return to the friendly confines of Floyd Casey Stadium next week to take on the Cyclones in a battle between 3-1 teams. ATM 6. Texas A&M (2-2) (Last week 4) National Ranking: No. 24 AP For the second consecutive week, Texas A&M blew a big lead at halftime. It can try to reverse this pattern this week against a Texas Tech team that looked vulnerable when it fell behind 20-0 early in its game on Saturday against Kansas. STATE 7. Iowa State (3-1) (Last week 6) The Cyclones couldn't continue their recent string of success against the Longhorns, and despite having a winning record, the Cyclones have been outscored by 15 points on the season. They travel to take on the No. 25 Baylor Bears this weekend. T 8. Texas Tech (4-0) (Last week 9) The Red Raiders overcame a 20-point first-quarter deficit to defeat the Jayahwks on the road. Even though they remain undefeated, the Red Raiders have looked suspect at times, with three consecutive games against ranked teams coming up, Texas Tech will finally get a chance to prove it belongs at the top of the standings. TM Missouri had the week off from competition after blowing an early lead in their last match against Oklahoma. The Tigers entered the season with hopes to contend for the Big 12 title, but after early season struggles have fallen off the map. A matchup against Kansas State could provide an opportunity for Missouri to rediscover its stride. 9. Missouri (2-2) (Last week 8) KU 10. Kansas (2-2) (Last week 10) Kansas had a chance to move up in the Big 12 ranks after taking an early 20-point lead against Texas Tech. It could be a while before the Jayhawks get another opportunity to improve in the standings, as they embark on what might be the toughest two-week schedule in the nation — at No. 6 Oklahoma State, then at home against No. 3 Oklahoma.

In one compartment of my mind I creep into a colder October. The Boston Red Sox, the team that had it all and was supposed to win it all, lost 20 of 27 games in September, missed the playoffs and said goodbye to its sage Terry Francona. By Max Rothman mrothman@kansan.com Theo Epstein, the general manager who holds the future in his hands, and John Henry, the sharp-suited owner who resolves issues with six to eight digit checks, were stuck in a thick fate. Francona, the warm old-time manager, with chew by the cheek, met with Boston's big dogs on Friday at Fenway Park. In 2004, Francaone was at the core of the franchise's first World Series since 1918 and won another in 2007, but he was tired. Epstein, Henry and brass needed a new voice in the clubhouse. Like that, Francaona vanished from his former home at Fenway, haunted by cameras and questions, no longer the manager of the Sox. The Boston Herald told us that pitchers drank beer on off days and gained weight as the season fell apart. The revelation does not surprise me. They could have pitched golf balls and still gotten shelled. The New York Yankees live for now while the Sox sit idly by, lugging wealth and disappointment into the brisk fall where fans of this team hang in endless disbelief. Andino's single escaped into the dark recesses of the outfield where Carl Crawford, the $142 million mistake, dove lazily as the ball plopped to the safety of the green grass. So ended another season for Boston. And here I am, arms dangling and spirit limping. My thoughts swarm with understanding of a colder October because Red Sox fans used to always be here. Try to close your eyes and it doesn't matter. You still see it all the time. This year's horror, replaying on repeat, goes nowhere else during this cold October. Times like these, the cold ones, replay horrors on repeat. My eyes are open but glazed over with Bucky Dent's shot over the monster in '78, Mookie Wilson's dribbler through Buckner's legs in '86 and Aaron Boone's extra inning homer in '03. Add Andino to the list. Edited by Adam Strunk KU 大 运动会 THIS WEEK IN SPORTS 2 X Sport Tues. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. Football vs. Oklahoma State 2:30 p.m. Stillwater, Okla.

Much of the blame for this season's lopsided scores has been placed on an inept Kansas defense that statistically has given up more points per game than any team in the country. However, a key problem has been Kansas' inability to make in-game adjustments. Going into halftime the last two games, Kansas trailed by only four points, for a combined score of 48-44. The Jayhawks would then go on to get outscored 63-14 in the second half and 49-0 in the third quarter alone. It really is a tale of two halves for a Kansas team that has shown the ability to contend with superior competition for just 30 minutes of a game. A lot can be said for why Kansas disappears in the second half, but it mostly comes down to the opponent making changes and Kansas staying complacent. Kansas' defense will have trouble stopping any upcoming opponents, so the offense must carry the load for the entire game, not just one half. Saturday couldn't have started any better for the offense, which controlled the entire tempo of the first quarter and grabbed a 20-0 lead. As the game progressed, Kansas' play-calling became increasingly predictable, and Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville recognized and reacted to the obvious patterns in Turner Gill's game plan. As much as fans will point at the defense, sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb and the offense are just as much of a concern at this point. From a talent and depth standpoint, the Jayhawks cannot afford to throw careless interceptions or give away downs with predictable play-calling. The "Jayhawk" formation (Kansas' variation of a wildcat formation), in particular, has been extremely ineffective without using a passing option. For Kansas to have any chance going forward, the offense needs to maintain its effectiveness for the entire game. Whatever Kansas is doing at halftime clearly isn't working, because the Jayhawks have looked unfocused in the second half. It has shown on the scoreboard. Kansas' schedule is not going to do Gill and his staff any favors — the Jayhawks' next four games are against ranked opponents — so any changes the staff makes to the halftime preparations will carry a risk. One thing is for sure; Kansas' second-half performances will only get worse if the staff continues with the same approach.

As a quarterback in 1981, Gill led Nebraska to defeat Oklahoma State. As quarterback, Gill led Nebraska to a victory against Oklahoma State in 1981 MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com @UDK tbal Coach Turner Gill has done it before. Gill has gone in to Stillwater against an Oklahoma State team with one of its sides of the ball being a top ranked asset, and won. He just hasn't done it since his playing days. Nine games into Nebraska's 1981 season and five games into Gill's career as a starting quarterback, the Cornhuskers traveled onto Oklahoma State's turf. The matchup would pit the dazzling offensive efforts of No. 11 Nebraska's new mobile sophomore quarterback, Gill, against Oklahoma State's top-ranked defense. By all means, Nebraska was On Nebraska's first drive, Gill ran across the goal line for a four-yard touchdown, taking an early 7-0 lead against Oklahoma State. Nebraska's second possession ended the same way. Gill lead the Cornhuskers down the field again and recorded a nine-yard touchdown run, extending the Cornhuskers' lead. supposed to win that game, but it wasn't supposed to end it early in the third quarter. The Oklahoma State defense held Nebraska scoreless in the second quarter, but the 15 minutes of shutout defense were the last successful minutes for the Cowboys. Gill threw a nine-yard touchdown pass for the Cornhusker's first score of the second half and his day was about done. After a 69-yard run to the endzone, Nebraska had a 30-1 lead and Gill was pulled from the game. offense, averaging 46.75 points per game. He had just dismantled one of the best defenses of 1981. Oklahoma State gave up an average of 18 points per game that season. Nebraska finished with 54 points. When asked about his memorable performance in Stillwater during yesterday's Big 12 Media Teleconference, Gill had a tough time recalling his performance that day. "It was a long time ago, I'm getting a little older," Gill said as he chuckled. "All I can remember is it's great to play in that stadium and there's been a lot of great players at Oklahoma State. I was just blessed and fortunate to have some success there." On Saturday, Gill will once again lead his team into Stillwater. He will not be in pads passing and running for Tom Osborne. He'll be the head-honcho now, hoping that one of his players can replicate his 1981 performance. Unlike 1981, the Jayhawks have nothing on paper to counter the Cowboys explosive offense. Their defense ranks 119 out of 120 Division IA teams, with Rice holding the last place honor, as they give up, on average, 4.75 yards more per game than Kansas. The circumstances are different. Kansas opened as a 29-point underdog to the Cowboys. The money has shifted No. 6 Oklahoma State's way, as the spread has moved to 32.5. Just like in 1981, the Cowboys have a top-ranked component to their team. The Oklahoma State offense ranks third in the country in total yards and sixth in scoring Gill's challenge in Stillwater as a player was tough, but his challenge this week may be even tougher. He has led a team to victory once in Stillwater, but he's going to have his hands full this week as he prepares his team for another difficult matchup against the Cowboys. KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Robinson among nation's elite players MEN'S BASKETBALL Edited by C.J. Matson Junior forward Thomas Robinson has been named to the John R. Wooden Award watch list for the upcoming season, the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced Monday. Each October, the club selects 50 players as potential recipients of the award. The Wooden Award annually recognizes college basketball's best player following the regular season. Robinson averaged 7.6 points per game last season and will be the Jayhawks' primary option in the post this season with the departures of Marcus and Markieff Morris to the NBA. According to rivals.com, Robinson was the 31st ranked recruit in the class of 2009. In his freshman campaign he came off the bench to average 7.2 minutes a game for the 2009-2010 team, which won the Big 12 regular season championship. Last season he assumed a larger role for coach Bill Self. Robinson played alongside the Morris twins in the post, averaged 14.6 minutes per game and helped lead Kansas Three other Big 12 players join Robinson on the list. They are Missouri senior Marcus Denmon, Baylor sophomore Perry Jones III, and Texas A&M junior Kris Middleton. Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger is the only returning Wooden Award all-American on the list. North Carolina has four players on the top 50 list, the first school to ever accomplish the feat. Those players include Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller, Kendall Marshall and John Henson. Many Kansas fans expect Robinson's production to improve again this year. Kansas has a young frontcourt and Robinson will be the only returning forward that averaged more than seven minutes per game last season. This season marks the 36th time the award will be given to the nation's best player. Danny Manning won the award in 1988 making him the only Kansas player to ever receive such an honor. to another Big 12 regular season title. - Edited by Adam Strunk MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Junior forward Thomas Robinson is all smiles at the end of the game against Iowa State on Feb. 2.

According to the Lawrence Police Department's website, in the past two months LKPD responded to 543 accidents, including three at the intersection of Iowa and 23rd streets. Based on the LKPD's accident map, during this same time period, police responded to 83 accidents on 23rd Street and Kansas Highway 10, which also makes up part of Iowa Street south of town. A map provided by James King, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical division chief, indicated that between 2007 and 2011 about 500 injury accidents occurred in Lawrence city limits. The area with the second highest number of accidents includes the blocks between Haskell and Silicon avenues, Natalie Sellers, a senior from Council Grove, said she believed heavy traffic on 23rd Street was to blame for an accident she was in on Sept.15. "I saw the car coming and thought 'Oh, my gosh, I'm going to be hit.' Sellers said. "I just gripped the steering wheel and prayed." According to the accident report file by the Lawrence Kansas Police Department, Sellers was driving westbound on 23rd Street attempting a left turn when she was struck by an oncoming car. Sellers said that she couldn't see the oncoming eastbound traffic because traffic backed up in the opposite lane blocked her view. She said that a driver stopped in front of the backed-up traffic signaled that it was safe so she proceeded to turn left. Sellers was struck on the passenger side of her car by a vehicle driving eastbound. The impact totaled Sellers' car and left the other car slightly damaged. Neither she nor the other driver were severely injured. "I had a few bruises and was stuff from the whiplash," Sellers said. The area of Sellers' accident is just one of many along 23rd Street and throughout Lawrence that the city has marked as having frequent accidents.

The Truancy Prevention and Diversion Program is a local project that pairs student interns from the University's Applied Behavioral Science Department with local children in violation of truancy statutes. The program developed jointly in 1979 among the Douglas County District Attorney's office, Douglas County Schools, Social and Rehabilitation Services and the University of Kansas. The state of Kansas considers a student truant if they are unexcused for a significant part of the school day and are between the ages of 7 and 17. The program aims to prevent these children from both missing an education and, ultimately, being taken into state custody. "Rather than having a petition filed and going in front of the judge we offer a diversion program," said Jan Sheldon, director of the truancy program and professor in the Applied Behavioral Science Department. The children meet with the student interns at least once a week for two to three hours at a time over the course of the 45-day diversion program. During these meetings, the interns attempt to develop a relationship and provide positive consequences for increasing school attendance. "It's a really good thing for the community," said intern Kate Uxa, a senior from St. Louis. She meets with a boy each week and said he's already shown improvement. Uxa said that not only did his attendance improve but that his grades are better as well. The diversion program served 43 youths in Douglas County during the 2010-2011 school year and saw 89 percent of them reduce unexcused absences by more than half.

In his first year of a three-year phased retirement, Weinberg currently works part-time at the University of Kansas as an assistant to the chancellor, a freshman seminar teacher in the honors program and as an honors program advisor. Emerson James, a sophomore from Wichita, benefited from Weinberg's tutelage. Weinberg taught James' honors tutorial class and now serves as James' advisor. "He's a very nice, helpful person who's experienced a lot and knows a lot about almost everything it seems and he's willing to help and share with others," Weinberg took his position in the chancellor's office because he would be able to teach and invest in freshmen. James said. "The real challenge is by the time they're juniors and seniors to keep them excited about the University and their life at the University." Weinberg said.

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD McClatchy Tribune Associated Press and McClatchy Tribune MEXICO CITY Mexican authorities said they have tracked down nine escaped prisoners at a drug cartel training camp. The navy said in a statement that the inmates were sprung from prisons in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz last month so they could work for the Zetas drug cartel. Tuesday's statement also said a series of raids last week resulted in the arrest of 18 local police officers who allegedly worked for the Zetas. During the arrests, the officers discovered written information indicating the officers received payments of from 2,000 to 10,000 pesos ($144 to $718) per month from the cartel. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND The police were employed in several Veracruz towns and cities. The state is the site of violent turf battles between the Zetas and other drug trafficking groups. It shunned the euro to keep its cherished pound. Could Europe's deepening debt crisis see Britain turn its back entirely on its struggling neighbors? Delegates at an annual rally of the governing Conservative Party this week are looking to the continent's economic woes as an opportunity to revive old debates about Britain's relationship with Europe. Costly bailouts and meddling judges are cited as new evidence to support the long cherished goal of Britain's skeptics: Leaving the European Union. "The tide is moving invocably towards a referendum, regardless of whether or not the prime minister wants one." Conservative Party lawmaker Douglas Carswell told a meeting on the sidelines of the annual rally. In a debate in Britain's Parliament expected to take place next month, legislators will demand a national vote on whether to join nations like Norway and Switzerland outside the bloc. THE WEST BANK A small crowd of Palestinian protesters accosted an American diplomatic delegation visiting the West Bank Tuesday, blocking a convoy of vehicles, chanting "shame on you" and hurling a shoe — a deeply insulting gesture in Arab culture. The Americans, including employees of the consulate in Jerusalem, were on their way to a U.S. reception in town of Ramallah meant to reaffirm cultural and educational ties with the Palestinians. But relations have grown strained recently, with Palestinians disappointed over President Barack Obama's handling of Mideast peace efforts. They say he is not tough enough on Israel and are also upset over U.S. vows to block their attempt to receive full membership at the United Nations. Members of Congress have already put a hold on $200 million in economic assistance to the Palestinians to dissuade them from pushing forward with the U.N. request. MOSCOW Scientists from seven countries will gather to discuss the possible existence of the fabled Yeti and the creature's biology and habits. Russian officials in the central Siberian town Tashtagol told the german news agency dpa. Cryptozoological researchers from Russia, the United States and China will attend the meetings scheduled from Thursday to Saturday in Kemerovo province some 2,000 miles east of Moscow. The experts will present "surprising insights, and unique photographs and audio recordings" about the creature, a Kemerovo spokesman said. Local game wardens have cited evidence allegedly obtained by a motion-triggered camera in a cave some 50 miles away from Tashtagol as possible proof of the existence of an unknown hominid.

Preparing for a possible invasion from zombies Kansas emergency management officials are urging residents to prepare for an invasion of zombies as part of a national disaster readiness campaign. October is Zombie Preparedness Month, a tongue-in-cheek campaign to get people nationwide to prepare for any type of disaster — including attacks by killer zombies. The point is to get people to take an all-hazards approach to preparing themselves for things like tornadoes, floods and terrorist attacks. The Kansas Division of Emergency Management said if people are prepared for zombie attacks, they're ready for anything. Several Topeka events are scheduled as part of the awareness effort, including an information booth Saturday, Trunk or Treat on Oct. 27, and a Spooktacular Safety Fair and Zombie Preparedness Day on Oct. 29 in downtown Topeka.

LAWRENCE Brick pavement poses danger MARIT EHMKE editor@kansan.com Lawrence's historic brick streets and sidewalks are unsafe. As the city of Lawrence tries to maintain the authenticity of the brick street, property owners are stuck with the bill of maintaining the brick sidewalks. The conditions of both continue to decline in several areas around town despite claims from the city that the streets and sidewalks are not a problem. Stueve, like many other residents, commutes around town via bicycle. He has a substantial scrape on his right elbow because he fell off his bicycle caused by uneven bricks near 11th and Massachusetts streets. According to a Kansas statute (12-1808), it is the duty of the property owner to keep the sidewalk in repair. Lawrence city ordinance 16-105 emphasizes that statute by stipulating it is the duty of the property owner to not permit any holes or depressions in the sidewalk that could cause injury to pedestrians. This has left many Lawrence residents wondering what the real price is for keeping up appearances. "I think the conditions are ridiculous," said Josh Stueve, a Lawrence resident. "They neglect those streets and ignore the problem." Steuve isn't the only one who finds fault with the brick streets in Lawrence. City engineer Shoeb Uddin said the sidewalk issue is not as dire as it may seem to some. "Most of the roads are terrible," said Mike Calvillo, bus driver for the University's Jay-Lift program. "It's disturbing and unhealthy. Driving on them can be a pain, especially with the Jay-Lift program. It can be hazardous with specialty patients — sometimes even painful and hurtful." If a person calls in to complain about a sidewalk, the Department of Public Works sends someone out to assess the situation. From then, a letter is sent requesting compliance. In Uddin's recollection, there hasn't been a case where a property owner has been fined. Lynne Braddock Zollner, the historic resources administrator for Lawrence, said trying to maintain the brick streets and sidewalks couldn't be more important. "Brick streets are a character-defining element of our historic areas in Lawrence," Zollner said. "The reason we preserve and maintain them is because they are a part of Lawrence history." TURNER STREET IRENE PARK 2034 Edited by Mike Lavieri MAX MIKULECKY/KANSAN The bricks of a worn, historic sidewalk are stamped with "Lawrence Kansas" at 8th and Indiana streets. Some of the brick sidewalks that line some Lawrence streets are close to 100-years-old. TRUANCY FROM 11 STATE BUDGET CUTS The diversion program was among the many programs under the axe during this year's budget cuts by Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas legislature. The diversion program had more than a third of its budget cut, from $14,840 to $9,189, according to the Youth Services Department of Douglas County. After the budget cuts, the Lawrence SRS office lost its employee working on truancy issues. This meant serious problems for the program, until the Youth Services Department of Douglas County offered to help support the program. "I am so thankful to Douglas County youth services that they stepped forward and said we'll work with you," Sheldon said. However, Sheldon said this year's budget cuts aren't the first time economic malaise has affected the program's ability to reach students. During a separate round of budget cus that occurred a few years ago, attendance personnel at schools was reduced. This diminished the school's ability to detect excessive truancy and refer students to the diversion program, Sheldon said. The number of children served by the program has dropped from 116 in the 2006-2007 school year to 43 in the 2010-2011 year, and Sheldon said she didn't think it was because fewer kids were absent. "Data doesn't show the same kind of decline that we're seeing here," Sheldon said. "I think this is a financial issue of not referring." INTERVENTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES Truancy correlates with lack of parental supervision, domestic violence, poverty, drug or alcohol abuse, single-parent homes and parents holding multiple jobs, according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Sheldon emphasized the importance of intervention and support for truant children. "Some of these kids are homeless." she said. Sheldon said a successful intervention includes parental involvement, incentives for attendance, community resources and meaningful consequences for truancy. Sheldon described one such consequence as a boy losing his Xbox for a week. For a student in good standing, rewards might include a special activity with his or her intern. "We're trying to develop a relationship; work with them, encourage them to go to school," Sheldon said. These efforts help to prevent or mitigate the long-term effects of truancy, which have been correlated with marital problems, job problems, adult criminality and incarceration. The effects on society include a less educated workforce, higher daytime crime rates and increased reliance on state welfare programs. "What we should do is try to intervene with truancy to prevent other problems from occurring or being exacerbated," Sheldon said. Guiding a stray youth back toward school is not a simple task, but Sheldon said it is an important one, and said that University interns do a "fabulous job."

Dr. Susan Gronbek-Tedesco of the Office of International Programs has seen the advantage of working with someone who has connections with people from around the world. "He has maintained relationships for the University in several countries," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "His presence just helps other colleagues, international colleagues understand that we're interested and we want to keep our partnerships alive." As he enters retirement, Weinberg has every intention to stay in Lawrence, where he makes it a priority to give back. He has been on the Board of Warm Hearts of Douglas County, the campaign chair and board member of United Way of Douglas County and a member of the Lawrence Rotary Club. "This is a wonderful community and it has given so much to me and it's very little, so modest what I do, to try to give back to the community," Weinberg said. Edited by C.J. Matson STREETS FROM 1 Iowa and 23rd streets had the most accidents in 2010, and other areas along 23rd Street are in the top five locations for accidents. The Lawrence Journal-World indicated that the intersection was the top location for accidents last year as well. Woosley said that a map addressing problem intersections could be difficult for the city. "Depending upon the type of crashes that occur, there may or may not be solutions that would reduce the number." Woosley said. However, the city is planning major modifications to the Iowa and 23rd streets intersection. Woosley said that the project is currently awaiting funding, which could exceed $1 million. Along with this, the city offers a program to help offset the cost to property owners when driveways are consolidated to reduce the number of movements such as left turn-ins or left turn-outs. Woosley also said he anticipated that traffic on 23rd Street would decrease significantly after construction on K-10 was complete. The city and state periodically conduct traffic counts to gauge the number of vehicles in particular areas. According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, between 30,000 and 50,000 vehicles passed through the intersection of Iowa and 23rd streets daily in 2010.

Woosley also said that to avoid accidents, drivers should be defensive and pay attention. "You should judge things for yourself," Sellers said. "Don't trust other drivers." Sellers said that after her accident, she decided to change her route to avoid another accident and suggested other drivers consider doing the same. Reader week Edited by C.J.

But the phone will come at a heavy price for the company. Sprint Nextel Corp., No. 3 wireless carrier in the U.S., has had a hard time hanging on to customers, while AT&T and Verizon, the two larger ones, have been luring people with the iPhone. When revealing the new iPhone model, the 4S, Apple Inc. said Tuesday that Sprint will be among the carriers to sell it, starting Oct. 14. Being able to sell the coveted phone should help Sprint keep customers, but it will pay for the privilege. Like other carriers, Sprint will buy the phones for about $600 each, then sell them to customers for $199. That will put added strain on its already On Monday, The Wall Street Journal said that Sprint has committed to buying more than 30 million iPhones over the next four years. It cited unnamed people familiar with the matter. Apple and Sprint didn't comment on the report. WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 5, 2013 weak finances. The Journal said CEO Dan Hesse had told Sprint's board that the company would lose money on the deal until 2014. Sprint has already posted a loss for every quarter since 2007. Sprint's stock fell 10 percent on the report and briefly hit a three-year low of $2.25 in morning trading. After Apple's announcement, Sprint's stock closed at $2.86 for the day, up 4.8 percent. Sprint has 33 million subscribers on contract-based plans, so its reported commitment means it would have to convert half of them to iPhones, assuming they upgrade after two years.

EDITORIAL Revenue sharing is a good start, now the University of Kansas must show it can become a leader in the Big 12. Revenue sharing positive start for Big 12 head Under interim commissioner Chuck Neist, the Big 12 took a giant step toward stabilizing itself after the conference's board of directors agreed to equal distribution of first and second tier television revenue for all sports including football and basketball. This means that all television revenue from any Big 12 institution playing any sport on ESPN, ABC, Fox Sports, or any contracted television network will be shared equally among all institutions if all nine member schools agree to the plan. According to the Big 12's official handbook, right now half of football television revenues are distributed equally, while the other half is given out based on the number of television appearances of each institution. All conference basketball television revenues are divided equally, but non-conference and NCAA tournament games are divided based on performance and television ratings. As a result of Texas A&M University's exit and the desire to make each school an equal representative, the agreement not only levels the playing field for smaller institutions' athletics that are overshadowed by bigger programs, it also simplifies an outdated revenue sharing model that had too many holes leading to inequity in the conference. The deal doesn't limit third tier television revenue, which includes institution-specific television networks such as University of Texas' lucrative ESPN-backed Longhorn Network. It means that Texas still has the financial capability to weather the exit fees if it chooses to leave the conference. But full revenue sharing of first and second tier networks is a great move for the University. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said the move has the potential to provide more television revenue to the University. Although the University consistently has a top-ranked basketball team, the lions share of athletics revenue comes from football television contracts between the Big 12 and TV networks. The football team historically hasn't been a national attraction on par with schools such as Texas and Oklahoma. So more revenue sharing lets the University dip into more of the pot created by top-25 Big 12 teams. But the biggest impact of full revenue sharing is that it strengthens a conference that was on the verge of collapse. The agreement makes concessions to institutions like Missouri and Oklahoma that have considered leaving for more lucrative deals in another conference. But the biggest impact of full revenue sharing is that it strengthens a conference that was on the verge of collapse. The agreement makes concessions to institutions such as Missouri and Oklahoma that have considered leaving for more lucrative deals in another conference, which will hopefully sway Missouri away from leaving the Big 12 despite the decision of the school's curators on Tuesday to explore leaving the conference. A stable conference is in the University's best interest, and as of now, the best option is a healthy Big 12. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little should continue supporting equality within the conference and use this transition period to make the University a leader in deciding the future of the Big 12. -Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK What is the worst thing about group projects in college?

Opinion It's a shame when you're hoping for the only hot girl to be in your group, and then you just get the #biggestidiot. Debate ignored facts On Tuesday of last week, the law school hosted a debate on whether same-sex marriage should be legally recognized. Speaking in favor of recognition was Dale Carpenter, a professor from the University of Minnesota School of Law, and speaking against recognition of same-sex marriage, was litigator Dale Schowengert from the Alliance Defense Fund, a religious (I know, I know) legal organization. Carpenter made two key points that recognition of same-sex marriage will "bring a tangible benefit" to hundreds of thousands of couples across the country, and that this action can be made "without sacrificing" the institution of marriage or substantially affecting most people opposed. In response, Schowengerdt argued that "such a radical definition" of marriage should not be implemented just because new relationship and family types exist. Comparing same-sex marriage to polygamy, Schowengerdt sought to redirect the audience's focus to the purpose of marriage — to act as a stabilizer for heterosexual parents and their biological children — and he asks listeners to question whether recognition of same-sex marriage would promote an "ideal" parenting structure. By James Castle jcastle@kansan.com The "inherent, complementary differences" of having both a mother and a father are critical to a child's upbringing, he argues — I'll let this one slide, for now. First, let's assume that government should play a role in regulating two-parent families who want to be married. Second, disregarding the relational, psychological and monetary benefits of marriage, let's also assume that the sole purpose of government regulation of marriage is to provide a venue through which two people can find stability in raising children. Schowengerdt cites "a sociologist," David Popenoe, who writes that healthy child development requires both a man and a woman. Popenoe, a professor emeritus at Rutgers University in New Jersey and a doctor by honor (meaning he didn't actually take courses), is pretty well-known in family sociology for deviating from more conventional academic research and writing. In his 1993 article, "American Family Decline," Popenoe writes how tragic it is that this country is losing the nuclear family — elle-emm-aye-ho, elle-emm-aye-oh. Anyway, what does more recent, and, dare I say, more careful research say about non-heterosexual parenting? Patterson (2009) finds that, in any family, sexual orientation has no substantial effect on children's development, and that sexual orientation matters much less than the quality of parenting. The American Psychological Association agrees. Meezan and Rauch (2005) observed that children of same-sex parents are just as normal as other children, and that legalization of same-sex marriage may benefit children financially, psychologically and socially. If the purpose of marriage is, and always has been, to provide a stable venue for children and their parents, and, if same-sex parents are just as good as other-sex parents, by and large, then same-sex couples should have the right to choose to marry, following the recommendations of the epistemic community. Even in his narrowing of marriage to a single purpose to support his position, Schowengerdt fails to make a truthful argument based on this one reason. I'm all about a good debate over whether my group and I deserve equality (I mean, it's a great question), but could sponsors not find a debater who doesn't ignore empirical facts? —Castle is a senior from Stiwell in human sexuality and political science CARTOON K.L.F. BIG XII A141E bv Mohammad Hadi Ataei Football positives forgotten We all know it. The Jayhawk defense is in shambles. ESPN.com will tell you the defense ranks dead last (120th) in points allowed. The UDK will tell you they rank 119th in yards allowed. On campus one hears the popular rationale for this inadquacy. One source of great irre among jayhawk nation is the secondary. They appear to have earned it as well. In every game this year there has been everything from blown assignments, to poor tackling, to bad and sometimes nonexistent coverage. Their sins are out there for everyone to see, especially when ball-wielding wide receivers not dressed in crimson and blue dance jubilantly in the end zone. However, just as there are always unsung heroes in success, there are overlooked offenders in failure. This hidden culprit contributing to the plight of the football Jayhawks is none other than the defensive linemen. Go back to ESPN.com and you will find that the Jayhawks have a mere five sacks through four games. Forget about the beleaguered secondary, when a defense is unable to put any pressure on an opposing quarterback, allowing him all the time in the world to work through his reads, the results are going to be identical to what this team has seen. If that doesn't seem believable, ask Jay Cutler what happens to a QB who is constantly being hit or lives in fear of it. As the man who lead the NFL in both interceptions and times sacked last year demonstrates, a QB pressured, hurried, and hit regularly will make mistakes. Regularly. When a secondary is weak, linebackers are hand-cuffed from attacking the QB. The responsibility is thrown upon the big men in the trenches. We need them to not simply accept this challenge. We need them to crush it. We can only hope.

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2011 FOOTBALL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Adjustments needed for both sides of the ball MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com As fans get up to stretch, relax and grab some food during the 20-minute intermission known as halftime, a whole other game is taking place behind the scenes. In the Jayhawks' locker room at halftime, coaches dissect the positives and negatives of the first half while trying to correct player mistakes. The problem is that the halftime routine for Kansas hasn't been working. The Jayhawks have been outscored 76-21 in the third quarter this season. After the Texas Tech game, coach Turner Gill said that the staff needed to review the way they go about things at halftime. In Tuesday's Kansas football press conference, Gill had come to a conclusion on what needs to be done to fix the team's third quarter woes. "We've made a few adjustments there in trying to be a little bit more specific as far as what we want to get across coach-to-coach and also what we want to get across from our coaches to our players," Gill said. "We are going to do a couple little things that we think is going to help us to improve at halftime as far as in the third quarter." What happened in the third quarter against Texas Tech prevented Kansas from a 3-1 start. The Red Raiders found success switching to the running game in the third quarter. In the first half, Texas Tech ran the ball 11 times for 36 yards. In the third quarter alone, the Red Raiders ran the ball 15 times for 96 yards. Texas Tech adjusted to what the Kansas defense had been showing in the first half. "It was a battle about controlling how many defenders we had to keep in the box versus how many we had to commit to the perimeter for the screen game and the running game," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. "In the first half, they forced the issue and put the ball in the perimeter. They came back, recognized that we were a little more perimeter in our alignments and consequently tried to run the ball against a thinner box." The Jajawhaws, who were outscored 21-0 in the third quarter, didn't want to soley put the blame on a lack of adjustments. Junior cornerback Tyler Patmon said that a lot of the defenses' struggles were a result of missed tackles and assignments, which can always be the downfall of a defense. Patmon said that the typical half-time routine for the Kansas defense includes rehashing its mistakes and adding things that the coaches have seen from the press box. He said that the players will occasionally split up into their positions and their respective position coach will go over specifics, such as routes or run plays that the defense is having problems with. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb pinned the third quarter woes on player execution as opposed to coaching adjustments. While Webb could not deny that there has been third quarter woes for the Kansas football team, he also saw the potential that the team has once they're able to put it all together. "We've got to try something. I mean we obviously haven't come out with that same fire that we've had starting out the games," Webb said. "We feel like were going to be able to be consistent and if we play four quarters were going to be a hard team to beat." Edited by C.J.

WOMEN'S GOLF Team finishes 11th in Missouri tournament DANIEL HARMSEN editor@kansan.com The Kansas women's golf team finished 43 strokes behind the leader at the Johnie Imes Invitational, which ended Tuesday. After a challenging first round on Monday, the young team showed some resiliency, rallying past Wichita State, UMKC, Bradley and Princeton to finish 11th. After Monday, the Jayhawks were 19 shots behind the leader and eventual winner, Texas State, but in the final round on Tuesday, it finished just 13 strokes behind the leaders for the round. The team's lack of experience — with just three seniors — was noticeable on Monday morning when it shot a 313 in round one. The team progressed and showed composure in rounds two and three. The players shot a 302 in round two and a 307 in round three. The few veterans have found it especially important to help the younger players. "We definitely improved; I am encouraged to see it," O'Neil said. "We had a rough first round and that's tough to recover from, but ultimately I am pleased with how we settled down." Coach Erin O'Neil was proud of her upperclassmen leading the way, but also in the improvement she saw from her underclassmen. Freshman Nadia Lutner understands that golf has its growing pains, but the best players just fight to overcome them. Luttner said the team improved each day, but could have played better. She noticed the improvement from Monday to Tuesday as well. Luttner said three freshmen played and that learning the course made play more comfortable. Freshman Gabriella DiMarco said the tournament was difficult, but was good building block for the rest of the season. "We improved from day to day as we began to settle in. We played a lot looser from behind and we weren't so tight," DiMarco said. Fans watched as three Kansas soccer players had their jerseys retired Sunday. Specifically, O'Neil thought Meghan Potee played well. "She didn't get all the bounces, but she was awesome," O'Neil said. "We have so much ability, but we need to continue to focus on fine-tuning the mental side of the game." Although many outsiders might think that golf is an individualistic sport, the players say otherwise. O'Neil sees the encouragement the girls give each other. "We really pump each other up before matches," Luttner said, "but then we just focus on what we can control: our own game." DiMarco said the players aren't playing for themselves, but for the University of Kansas. SOCCER "After a birdie we wave the wheat," O'Neil said. "It's a fun way to remind us that we are playing for Kansas, not just ourselves." Edited by Mike Laviert Recognizing the players of the past RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com JEFF JACOBSEN/KAI Kansas soccer doesn't have the same storied history as some of the other sports on campus. It is an adolescent, this year being the 17th season of the program and with Alumni weekend last Sunday, the coaching staff felt it was appropriate to recognize their most accomplished players of the past. THE GAULT 8 MEN'S BASKETBALL 2004 THE GAULT 1 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 2004 THE GAULT 21 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 2004 Before the game, the Jayhawks recognized Meghan Miller, Caroline Smith and Holly Gault, the only three National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCA4) All-Americans in the program's history. Both in their 13th year with the program, coach Mark Francis and associate coach Kelly Miller began throwing around the idea of retiring jerseys and this year they decided to make it a reality. "They weren't always the best players," said coach Miller. "They got to this level and their work ethic in this environment is what helped proel them into this success." "All three of those guys were just really competitive," Francis said. "They hated to lose." They decided, along with the athletics department, that any NSCAA All-Americans in Kansas' history were eligible forjersey retirement. So with the help of the athletics department's graphics design staff, Miller helped shape three metal placards that now rest on the northwest fence ofJayhawk Soccer Complex. MEGHAN MILLER POSITION: GOALKEEPER 2001-2004 The Seattle native came to the Midwest looking for an opportunity to tend the net for an up-and-coming program. At first she was an average goalkeeper, but by her junior year she jumped out of the pack. In 2003 she helped lead the Jayhawks to a Sweet 16 appearance and finished the season with 18 wins. She followed up her senior year with 18 more wins and received NSCAA All-America Second Team in 2004 after guiding the Jayhawks to their first and only Big 12 Championship title. When Miller found out she was having her number retired she was stunned. "I was completely floored when Kelly called me," said Meghan Miller. "I never expected anything like this to happen." CAROLINE SMITH POSITION: FORWARD 2002-2005 The all-time leader in every significant offensive category, Smith shattered records for shots, goals and points. Smith was also on the Sweet 16 and Big 12 conference title team in "She was really brave, she would stick her head into places where most people wouldn't and cause a lot of problems for other teams," said Francis. 2003 and 2004. She was named to the NSCA4 third-team both years. "Playing in our home games in front of our home crowd was pretty awesome in 2004," Smith said. "We had a lot of people cheering for us." Smith remembers those moments at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex as some of the best memories of her soccer career. HOLLY GAULT POSITION: DEFENDER 2003-2006 Growing up just east of Lawrence in Spring Hill, Gault was a multisport high school athlete who came into Kansas' soccer program a raw talent. Under the tutelage of Francis and Miller, Gault developed into one of the top defenders in the country by her sophomore year and was acknowledged with NSCAA first team All-American status. "Along with her athletic ability and the work she put in, she really made huge strides," Miller said. "Holly got into this environment and ran with it and really just trained hard and worked very hard." Gault also showed off some offensive prowess as well. The coaching staff actually converted her from a forward to a defender once she got to college. "She did a really good job of pushing forward too," Francis said. "She scored some goals coming from the back."

'Oh Tony, he's our king! But now we want to stone him.' Deion Sanders FACT OF THE DAY FACT OF THE DAY Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw three interceptions, helping the Detroit Lions overcome a 27-3 deficit on Sunday. The Lions won the game 34-30 and are 4-0. espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What is Romo's record in the postseason? A: 1-3 espn.com --- No playoffs for Colts, Jets, others MORNING BREW This year in the NFL has been full of surprises both bad and good. The Lions, Bills, 49ers, Itians and others are off. to surprising starts, while many preseason favorites and playoff teams from last year are really struggling. It's time to take a look at those struggling teams and see which ones can make it to the playoffs. By Kenton Watkins kwatkins@kansan.com AFC Pittsburgh Steelers: Let's begin with the defending AFC conference champions who are 2-2 and have really struggled to get going. The Steelers haven't looked very good, even in their wins, and they are fighting some injuries. The biggest injury may be to Ben Roethlisberger, who, if he continues to take the punishment that he has been receiving, may not finish the season. He also may not be able to play this weekend in a big match-up with the 3-1 Tennessee Titans. If the Steelers drop this game they would be 2-3 and have a hole just in the Wild Card race. Prediction: No playoffs. I think that they just won't be able to protect Roethlisberger enough to reach the playoffs. The Ravens are going to win the division, and I don't think the Steelers can make the Wild Card, especially if they lose to the Titans New York Jets. Next, let's look at the team the Steelers beat to get to the Super Bowl. Their 2-2 start really boils down to one thing: their offense is awful. Mark Sanchez looks like he has regressed sharply, plus the Jets can't run the ball at all. Their defense has been solid, but the Jets have also shown weaknesses against the run. Prediction: No playoffs. Even though their defense will keep them in the hunt, they are in a tough division and I think have too weak of an offense to make it this year. Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are in big trouble without Peyton Manning. With him, they will still have a shot at competing for the Wild Card; however with Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter at quarterback they have a better shot at the number one pick in the NFL draft. Prediction: Absolutely no playoffs, the Texans and Titans are too good and the quarterbacks are below average/terrible. They are in for a long season. NFC Chicago Bears: it's the team Green Bay beat in the NFC championship, the Bears. They have a talented team and are the defending division champs, but their defense has taken a big step back. The Bears are also in a division with the league's only remaining undefeated teams, the Packers and Lions. Prediction: No playoff. This isn't because they aren't a good team. I just think that the Lions and the three contenders from the NFC South are better right now. Philadelphia Eagles: Next up, the Dream Team standing at 1-3 and coming off of a terrible collapse. Their struggles can be blamed on Michael Vick injuries and mental weaknesses. If Vick had finished every game or even if Vince Young wasn't hurt they would be 3-1 or 4-0 and sitting pretty. However, they aren't 3-1 and Andy Reid has to get these guys back on track. KU Atlanta Falcons: The defending NFC South champs are really struggling this year at 2-2. Their defense has been terrible and their offense Prediction: Playoffs. I think these guys will still win the division. They are too talented and I just don't believe in the Giants or Redskins for a whole season. has taken a step back from how good it was last year. They are lucky they're not 0-4 and really need to step up on defense. Prediction: No playoffs. I think they will make it interesting; however, I don't think they get past New Orleans or Tampa Bay in the South and they won't pass Detroit in the Wild Card. They are good, but I think the other teams are better. Dallas Cowboys: No playoffs. Tony Romo won let them. Edited by Jonathan Shorman THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Jump 田径 Football 体育用品 Sport Wed. Thur. Fri.

The town whose --- By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com football ten upon Lawrence on Saturday. The trees, whose leaves have begun to turn to a mesh of yellow, orange and red, sat quietly on Mount Oread gazing down on the 90-year-old football stadium, one of the oldest in the nation. "Obviously it is tough for us, I mean we're beating a Big 12 opponent coming out of halftime, and seeing everyone walk out, it's kind of like, 'Airy, thanks for the support,' said sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb. "It definitely hurts to see that you're playing well and there's not much support." It was homecoming. It was a beautiful day for football. It was the first Big 12 game for Kansas this season. And instead of there being a buzzing atmosphere at Memorial Stadium to match the perfect day, there was hardly any atmosphere at all. To those who think the support of the student body, or lack thereof, has no effect on the game, the comments from some of the football players would say otherwise. Shortly after the Texas Tech game Saturday, senior linebacker Steven Johnson said there was a definite drop in energy in the second half, but he wasn't sure why it happened. The first suggestion he gave to explain why it happened: the mass exodus of the students. Kansas football fans, the student section in particular, had every reason to show up to Memorial Stadium and enjoy a picturesque early Saturday afternoon that will be hard to match for the rest of the season. At halftime, Kansas took a three-point lead into the locker room, with the potential of going 3-1 to start their year and building some real excitement into the remainder of this year's season. That's when it happened: it's a ballpark number, but it appeared half of the students left after the long first half ended. Just to be clear, they left, when Kansas was winning, in their big 12 opener and the homecoming game. It just shows you how much confidence the students instill in the University's football program. Each player made sure not to blame the students in any way for the loss, but their comments should be telling. "It does hurt knowing that your student fan base doesn't have a lot of confidence in knowing you're going to win," said junior cornerback Greg Brown. The lack of confidence in a team winning at halftime also speaks volumes about where the program is. At a school that prides itself so much on its spirit there simply is none for football, the biggest sport in college athletics. So far this season, Kansas ranks second to last in attendance out of Big 12 teams, bringing in an average of just over 500 more fans than last place Baylor. Now, it's possible for a program to be built with little fan support, but it's certainly not easy. If Kansas fans want their football program to sit atop the perch it sat at just three years ago, they will have to support it on a frequent and consistent basis. When No. 3 Oklahoma comes to town on Oct. 15, so will ESPN2. The teams will be playing under the lights, a kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. The setup should lead to an electric atmosphere that hasn't been seen at Memorial Stadium in years — but that doesn't mean it will. Edited by Jason Bennett 10 JERSEYS RETIRED FOR ALL-AMERICANS Three accomplished soccer athletes recognized PAGE 6 HITTIN' HARD KAN Junior defensive specialist Morean Boub makes a diving dig late in the third set Tuesday at Horeisi Center. Kansas defeated Nebraska-Omaha in three straight sets. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN A FIERCE COMEBACK MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com mgalloway/DK/Uk_vball Even though the Jayhawks' opponent came into the match with a record of 4-16, make no mistake about it, the slumping Kansas volleyball team made a statement Tuesday night. And their best performer may just have been someone who barely showed up in the game's box score. The Jayhawks (12-4) rallied from a 20-24 deficit in the decisive third set to sweep a feisty Nebraska-Omaha (4-17) squad last night at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. 25-20, 25-16, 28-26. Junior defensive specialist Morgan Boub made the most of a rare start, serving during four, six and four point rallies in each of the first three sets, respectively. Boub was serving when the Jayhaws came from behind in the third, turning a 22-24 deficit into a 25-24 lead. Boub would finish the game with one ace and six digs. Coach Ray Bechard said that when Boub is serving, the team has the opportunity to put both senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield and sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc at the net. "The rotation gives the Jawhaws a great opportunity to go on runs," said Bearchard. "When Morgan served and served it aggressively, those two had a chance to be pretty good," Bechard said. "So we kept the service going when she was back there." Freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton, who has been dealing with nuggets injuries, saw the court for the first time since Sept. 24th. With their backs against the wall in the third, McClinton provided a key kill that sparked the Javahays' 5-0 rally. "It feels really good to be back out on the court," McClinton said. "I feel like I can help contribute to my team more and it feels good to be giving my all to everyone." Mayfield finished the game with a double-double, notching 14 kills and 16 digs. McClinton, who said she is feeling better every day, said Boub is one of the better servers on the team. "During practice, Coach B. has drilled her," McClinton said. "She is put under pressure serving all the time, so when it comes down to it, she's the go-to-girl for serving." Last night's game gave the Jaya-hawks an opportunity to regroup after a winless start to Big 12 play. Junior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree said that with a home game against Texas A&M on Saturday looming, the game-clinching rally is an experience that should give the team confidence going forward. "The Big 12 conference games are always going to be 20-20, close games," said Tolefree. "You don't just kick anybody's butt anymore. So we're working on staying composed and getting one point at a time, putting pressure on them even when they're on the verge of ending it." - Edited by Stefanie Penn KANSAS KANSAS 5 KANSAS 1 JESSICA IANASZ/KANSAN Junior middle blocker Taylor Tolefree reaches up to block the ball during the game against Omaha, Tuesday evening.

BIG 12 Missouri to explore conference options ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com The University of Missouri Board of Curators unanimously granted Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton complete authority to explore the school's future conference affiliation. The Southeastern Conference recently welcomed Texas A&M as the conference's thirteenth member. The University of Missouri could be next. A potential move for Missouri from the Big 12 to the SEC could have been complicated by Deaton's position as chairman of the Big 12 Board of Directors, but he resigned from the position effective immediately in connection with the board's decision. Deaton, who has been a strong advocate of the Big 12's survival, is also no longer chairing the five-member Big 12 expansion committee, said Chuck Neinas, interim Big 12 commissioner. The board reached a decision after four hours of closed deliberation at the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus with both Deaton and Mike Alden, the University's athletics director, in attendance. The announcement comes amid news Sunday when Neinas and the Big 12 Board of Directors announced the adoption to equally share all Tier I and II football and men's basketball television revenues. V "This action becomes effective after each member institution commits a grant of rights to the Conference for its Tier I and II television rights for at least six years," Big 12 officials said in a statement Monday. If the remaining Big 12 schools agree to the grant's terms, the conference is guaranteed stability for at least six years. However, the possibility of the Big 12 collapsing once the agreement expires has caused Missouri to explore its options rather than making a long-term commitment to the conference. Multiple reports have linked Missouri to the SEC, but the conference would have to formally invite the Tigers before any definitive movement Although the SEC's current 13-team membership makes for disproportionate divisions, SEC commissioner Mike Slive said that conference has not yet reached out to any university beyond Texas A&M. can happen. If Missouri was to leave the Big 12 they would be the fourth school to leave the conference in the past year. But unlike Texas A&M, complications about Missouri's geographic location could play a role in the board's decision. Neijns said. "They should consider their longstanding rivalry with Kansas, one that goes back to 1893, the Kansas City-based basketball tournaments, the close proximity to other Big 12 schools," Neinas said to the Austin American-Statesman. "It's one thing to talk about the Southeastern Conference, but how many people can afford to travel to Gainesville, Fla., or Columbia, S.C., or Tuscaloosa, Ala." Missouri may not be leaving the Big 12 just yet, but the school's reluctance over the past week to sign on to the Board of Director's grant is cause for some concern within the conference.

"We have rules that have to be followed." MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com The new policy passed by Lawrence's city commission now allows a public officer to place any violating landlords on probation. At the commission meeting on Tuesday it was decided to immediately enforce a pre-existing code that has been in effect since 2002, which prohibits more than three unrelated people living in a single-house dwelling. "Before, we would have to file a court compliance. This makes it quicker than going through the legal system," said Brian Jimenez, code enforcement manager for the city. Landlords are given a 30-day time frame for compliance. Renters who are in violation now face an increased fine that ranges from $500 to $2,500. If the property is found in violation of the policy more than twice in a 24-month period, the landlord's rental license may be revoked. Jimenez estimates that there have been more than 150 investigations in the past five years for such violations. Jimenez cited reasons for the crackdown to be the current policy's ineffectiveness at deterring violations, which tend to result in a drawn-out court processing with a meager fine of $10. The revised enforcement policy has residents concerned with how this will affect those who might want to take in needy families who have no a place to stay. However, the clarification was made that the enforcement only applies to those who actually rent their properties. The provision will also inform landlords and renters of the new code when they sign license and lease agreements. Occupancy was defined as a person living in a dwelling for more than 14 days out of every month. The enforcement of a maximum of three unrelated persons only applies to a residence that is determined to be a single-family dwelling, which mostly includes houses and duplexes. Single-family dwelling zones are found throughout the city, and residents should check to ensure they are living with the legal number of unrelated people in their home. The commission also recommended looking into a way to hold out-of-town landlords accountable to the enforcement. SHARP SELLERS Mayor Aron Cromwell was satisfied with the measure. ON THE CUTTING EDGE Students earn money and gain sales experience with Vector Marketing LUKE RANKER lranker@kansan.com Weston Smith found a way to make money by cutting money. At his job with Vector Marketing, he regularly slices pennies in half to demonstrate the sharpness of CUTCO scissors. He and other KU students have found an alternative to working a regular part-time job. The New York-based CUTCO Cutley offers full and part-time jobs through its sales division Vector Marketing. CUTCO produces high quality, American-made kitchen knives and outdoor accessories. Smith, a senior from Burdett, said he enjoys working at Vector because it gives him experience, and it's easy do with school. "You schedule your own time," Smith said. "If you want to schedule it around tests you can, or if you just want to take the day off you can." Vector employees make sales by doing in-home demonstration with products. Sales pitches can run anywhere from 45 minutes to a few hours. Smith said demo appointments are set up through current CUTCO customers so there is no telemarketing or door-to-door sales. Employees start off with people they know and ask them for referrals to other potential customers. Smith started selling CUTCO in August. He said he made close to $1,000 in one week when he first started. His sales vary week to week based on how many demonstrations he does. Because he's back in school, he's done less than he did over the summer. Smith said he averages about five demonstrations a week, which amounts to about $250. Smith's income is either commission or base pay — whichever one is higher. Rusty Benson, a senior from Overland Park, said the company offers a base pay so customers don't feel pressured to buy and employees don't feel pushed to sell a lot. When Benson started at Vector over the summer, base pay was $15 per hour, but during the fall it is lowered to $12. "The first appointment I did I made commission," Benson said. "It was, like, an hour and a half long." He said for that sale he made $49. Hannah Russell, a junior from Gardener, said while in high school she received a letter from Vector in the mail describing the job, she applied online. She said part of the reason for the base pay is to help compensate employees for travel and other expenses. Russell said she began selling to neighbors in Gardner but branched out and began selling in other cities like Overland Park. "I had clients who lived a few blocks away to several who lived all the way in Johnson County", Russell said. Benson and Smith both said they never really had a negative experience with customers, but once one of Benson's customers cut herself with a knife. Russell said that out of the 250 to 300 appointments she's done, she has only had one negative experience. "I was verbally attacked," Russell said. "Not just for trying to sell something, but also because I was trying to gain experience that way." She said the man had approved her appointment, but when she arrived, he told her that selling knives was the wrong way to gain experience for her major. Experience was the primary reason Russell began working for Vector in the summer of 2008. At the time she was a business major and thought a sales position would be an excellent way to gain work experience. She left Vector a year ago when she changed her major to international studies, but she said she built a lot of relationships while working at Vector that she still has today. "I wouldn't take back the experience I had there because of how much it helped me." Russell said. As posters and fliers appeared on campus advertising "Work for students" with a website using the same line, speculation about what Vector Marketing is rose.

PASCAL Pamela Carper, a freshman from Topeka, poses with her Mary Kay makeup. Carper has been selling since July 2010. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Heads turn as a pink Cadillac passes by. These uniquely colored cars are known to belong to the Mary Kay makeup sellers, but who would expect a college student to step out of one of these beauties? For Pamela Carper, a freshman from Topeka, this is a goal she is determined to reach. ALEXA RUSH arush@kansan.com Carper is not the stereotypical Mary Kay saleswoman. Despite mostly working with women much older than herself, she feels completely comfortable in her work environment. "Being young has its perks, like having access to the newest products before anyone else," Carper said. "The older women are a blast. They have so much fun, look beautiful and are great role models to myself, as well as each other." Carper's passion began when she was eight years old and attended a Mary Kay party with her mother. After years of helping and watching her mom run her Mary Kay business, Carper signed up to start her own Mary Kay business when she turned 18. "It was a no-brainer," she said. "I absolutely love the company and what it stands for, so I wanted to be a part of it." Mary Kay was started by Mary Kay Ash in 1965. The company was designed with the intent to allow women to experience unlimited success. Although Mary Kay has a strong reputation for its makeup, lipsticks and eye shadows are not the only priorities for the business. The company encourages women to live by the golden rule as well as Ash's personal philosophy: "God first. Family second. Career third." "I love that the company's foundation is on the golden rule," Carper said. "There aren't any quotas to reach, it isn't about competition and whenever you're around the women of Mary Kay, you can't help but be happy" Juggling classes, the social atmosphere and her business can be a challenge, but Carper is determined to make it work. Her roommate, Hillary Willson, a freshman from Las Vegas, Nev., said that living with a Mary Kay saleswoman isn't as hectic as it may seem. "She doesn't work all the time, which is great because we can hang out. And she's let me try some of the stuff and even done my makeup a few times," Willson said. "It's not like she has Mary Kay products scattered all over the room invading our space, But her desk, which is supposed to be the 'study desk,' is in fact the 'Mary Kay desk'." One of Carper's customers, Carlee Kyle, a freshman from Topeka, said Carper is an amazing business woman and naturally good at what she does. "She's always on top of things. If I need a product last minute, she can always manage to find it for me," Kyle said. "She knows what the job requires and gives it her all." According to Carper, the business is not only easy to manage, but it's good money and free gifts are given to employees on a monthly basis. Carer believes that being a Mary Kay consultant is a great opportunity and reliable job for any college student. "When the economy went down, the Mary Kay demand actually went up, because as much as the economy sucks, women still want to look good," Carper said. "I haven't had a problem with selling even with this economy." After college, Carper hopes to make a career out of her Mary Kay business. She plans to get that pink Cadillac. "Having a full-time career in Mary Kay pretty much consists of three hours a day of working at home in PJs." Carrier said. "I want a life where I can do what I want to do. If I want to travel, I will. If I don't want to work that day, I won't. I want to have a life like this while making women feel good about themselves."

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD MEXICO CITY One of the last major leaders of the pseudoreligious La Familia drug gang has been captured, Mexican officials said Wednesday, an arrest that has provided insights into the final days of one of the country's most bizarre criminal cartels. Martin Rosales Magana had been on the run since a breakaway gang threatened to kill relatives of those who still sympathized with La Familia, said federal police anti-drug chief Ramon Pequeno. He allegedly took refuge in a state bordering La Familia's stronghold of Michoacan and plotted an alliance with his group's old enemies, the Zetas. At one point, Rosales Magana plotted to lead 200 Zetas and La Familia gunmen in an assault on Apatizingan, a city in western Mexico now dominated by the equally cult-like Knights Templar cartel that broke away from his group, Pequeno said. TIRANA, ALBANIA An EU prosecutor will travel to Albania to investigate allegations that a criminal network sold organs of civilian captives there during the 1998-99 Kosovo war, an official said Wednesday. Xavier de Marnhac, head of the European Union mission in Kosovo, announced the plan at a news conference in Albania, saying the prosecutor will arrive in the coming weeks. He didn't identify the official, but it is expected to be American John Clint Williamson, the lead prosecutor in the task force set up to conduct the investigation. In a report last year, Council of Europe investigator Dick Marty alleged that Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and other rebel commanders of the Kosovo Liberation Army ran detention centers on Albania's border with Kosovo, where civilian captives, including Serbs, were killed and their organs sold on the black market. MOGADISHU, SOMALIA Al-Qaida-linked militants threatened more terror attacks that will "increase day by day" after a suicide bomber killed 72 people. Mourners transport coffins atop cars Wednesday to funerals for those who perished in al-Shabab's deadliest bomb attack in Somalia. A truck loaded with drums of fuel exploded Tuesday at the gate of a building housing several government ministries in a busy street in the capital where tens of thousands of famine victims have fled. The attack came more than a month after most al-Shabab fighters melted away from Mogadishu amid a pro-government offensive. "At this time, when the country is in the midst of a worsening humanitarian crisis, the terrorists could not have attacked the Somali people at a worse time," information Minister Abdulkadir Hussein Mohamed said. ISLAMABAD An independent Pakistani commission investigating the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden questioned three detained widows and two daughters of the slain al-Qaida leader, a government statement said Wednesday. The commission also interviewed Pakistani spy chief Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha and a doctor accused of helping American intelligence run a phony vaccination program that tried to obtain a DNA sample from bin Laden and his family, the statement said. Investigators interviewed Pasha, who heads the country's powerful spy agency, known as the Inter-Services Intelligence, on Wednesday, and planned to meet with him again meet with him on Thursday, the commission said, without elaborating. The women and Dr. Shakil Afridi were questioned on Tuesday. NATIONAL Knox returns home begins to plan future SEATTLE — The emotional strain built steadily for years as Amanda Knox sat locked away thousands of miles from her loved ones, all the while maintaining her innocence, wondering whether anyone who mattered would ever believe her. Knox's father, Curt, suggested that at least some of that pressure was released when she Pooja Kishori Knox dom. "She pretty much squished the air out of us when she hugged us," he said. As Amanda Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle on Tuesday after being acquitted on murder charges after four years in prison, he shifted his concern to her future. "The focus simply is Amanda's well-being and getting her re-associated with just being a regular person again," he said in front of his home in West Seattle. He said Amanda would like to return to the University of Washington at some point to finish her degree, but for now, he's apprehensive about what four years in prison may have done to his daughter, though there are no immediate plans for her to get counseling. "What's the trauma ... and when will it show up, if it even shows up?" he said. "She's a very strong girl, but it's been a tough time for her." The 24-year-old's life turned around dramatically Monday when an Italian appeals court threw out her conviction in the sexual assault and fatal stabbing of her British roommate.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2011 PAGE 3 REALIGNMENT BIG 12 REPLIES KAITLYN KLEIN kklein@kansan.com kklein@kansan.com Students, faculty and alumni at Kansas have watched anxiously as the conference realignment has unfolded, but they haven't been alone. Students at other schools have also held their breath as the ultimate, long-term fate of the Big 12 remains uncertain. KANSAS Libby Johnson, student body president, said she had been reading the news, speaking with individuals around the university and on conference calls with other student body presidents in the Bie 12. Johnson said she recognizes the hype and confusion that surrounds the future of the Big 12 b u t thinks the Big 12 12 best place for the University to be "People were scared when it looked like it may fall KU apart," Johnson said. "It assured us why we're is in the conference we're in" MISSOURI Eric Woods is the president of the Missouri Students Association. "It is interesting for us because we're object of speculation," Woods said. He adds that, though he gets asked often whether Missouri will leave the Big 12. he doesn't know. "We want to make sure we have a conference that can stand on its own." Woods said. TM IOWA STATE Dakota Hoben, governor of Iowa State student body, wants to remain in the confer- tice. "We all want to stay and hope for the long term success," Hoben said. COLORADO Colorado, the first school to leave the Big 12, joined the PAC-12 this year. David LaRose, an executive sports producer on Colorado's campus, said that students think Colorado's departure has been positive. CUJ "We have a better opportunity and sense of community." LaRose said, noting that many of Colorado's alumni are based on the west coast. STATE KANSAS STATE C Kansas' in-state rival, Kansas State, remains adamant ing with Kansas and a part of the Big 12. "We want the best result for K-State," Nate Spriggs, student body president, said. He emphasized the importance of maintaining of regional rivalries. Spriggs said that even if the Big 12 were to break up, their school is strong and would cope with the changes. TEXAS Natalie Butler, University of Texas-Austin student body president, was dismayed by A&M's decision to leave. "I think it is unfortunate but that was their decision," Butler said. Ashley Leonard, student body president, said the Big 12 was the best place for Oklahoma State to be. OKLAHOMA STATE "We want to stay in the Big 12." Leonard said. "We're really dedicated to the conference." Leonard mentioned that it would be difficult if schools like hers left the Big 12. "It'd be harder for student and student OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY athletes to travel," Leonard said. "They'd spend more time on the road, and not in the classroom hardly at all." TEXAS A&M Texas A&M, like Colorado and Nebraska before them, thought that leaving the conference was the right decision for its university. ATM "A&M is still open to maintaining those rivaries," Tanner Wilson, A&M student senate speaker, said. "It's really up to the Big 12 schools as to if those rivalries continue; we're will- rivaries continue; were willing to work those into the schedule." Wilson said for many students at A&M, the attitude toward leaving the Big 12 has been one of excitement to join the Southeastern conference. "It's a powerful bowl and there's popular support," Wilson said. BAYLOR Zach Rogers, student body president, is sad to lose the rivalry with Texas A&M, but is excited to see what schools might come to the Big 12. BAYLOR BEARS "Students at Baylor think the Big 12 is the best for Baylor," Rogers said. "It's a powerful conference that will not only survive, but thrive." — Attempts to contact leadership at Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas Tech were unsuccessful. was skeptical about it. He said he went online and read reviews, some of them mentioning scams and other issues. VECTOR FROM PAGE 1 "I just decided to be open minded about it," Benson said. He chose to apply to Vector because he trusted the friend who referred him. Russell said that speculation about Vector Marketing probably comes from employees who misrepresented the company. Benson said rumors that Vector Marketing or CUTCO is a pyramid scheme are not true. "Sometimes you get a bad egg," Russell said. "It depends on the values and standards a company has. In any company you'll get people who don't represent values well." Russell said she had seen a few managers nationally whom she believed didn't represent the company well, but locally she never saw that problem. "You do get paid off what your recruits make, but only one level," Benson said. Benson said that if a person he refers to the company sellselling CUTCO, he can make 2 percent of what they sell. That 2 percent does not come out of the other person's paycheck. Russell advised people who are curious about CUTC or Vector Marketing to talk to someone who works there. "People should go to an interview to see what it's about," Russell said. BUSINESS Edited by Sarah McCabe Steve Jobs 1955-2011 This screen shot taken from apple.com shows a tribute to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died yesterday. "We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," the company said in a brief statement. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve." APPLE COM/ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Apple co-founder dies from cancer WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama remembers Apple co-founder Steve Jobs as one of America's greatest innovators and says the world has lost a visionary. The man behind the iPod and iphone as well as the personal computer and the iPad, Jobs died of cancer Wednesday at age 56. Obama said in a statement Wednesday night that Jobs was brave enough to think differently,bold enough to believe he could change the world,and talented enough to do it. The president also said Jobs exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. In a tweet sent separately from his statement, Obama said, in his words, "There may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented." TECHNOLOGY Initiative pushes to retain women in science CLAIRE MCINERNY cmcinerny@kansan.com When she was 11 years old, Sarah Seguin got in trouble with her parents for taking apart their new garage door opener. She wanted to see how it worked, a curiosity that was present through her childhood. Although Seguin, an associate professor of electrical engineering at the University, did not know what engineering was until she got to college, she knew early on it was where her passions lay. Last Monday, first lady Michelle Seguin Obama spoke publicly to promote the National Science Foundation's (NSF) initiative to retain women, like Seuqui, in science and technology fields. This plan, the Career-Life Balance Initiative, promotes family-friendly atmospheres in science organizations. Seguin knows from first-hand experience the struggle between wanting to start a family and furthering her career. She said she and her husband are ready to have kids, but she is not at the right point in her career to balance a baby and her professional life. "I want to earn tenure," Seguin said. "And while earning tenure, most women do not have children because they think, 'I have to get all these projects done. I have to have so many papers,' and having children means you're going to have a delay." The new rules allow both men and women to suspend research grants and projects for up to a year Seguin said the KU engineering school is already on board with the NSF's plan, providing flexibility to its professors and graduate students in terms of family and research commitments. if they need to tend to family responsibilities. Allowing women to take time off for maternity leave or to care for a new child allows them to retain their careers by not having to choose between a career and a family. In career fields such as engineering where gender diversity is already a struggle, this initiative is also promising to women eventually entering the science and technology fields. Hannah Cosgrove, a junior from Prairie Village, is part of the gender minority in the engineering school. Having only four girls in one of her classes this year is more than typical, so Cosgrove understands why the NSF is pushing to keep women at their jobs. "Women bring a totally different perspective to anything," Cosgrove said. "You have to have diversity if you want to be a top organization, because everyone brings something different to the table and you "Women are still kind of scared." Seguin said. "They don't want it to be perceived as getting more advantages as anyone else. What usually happens is women don't usually take those things to prove to everyone I'm as good as my male counterparts." GET INVOLVED — Edited by Lindsey Deiter Marilyn and Jack da Silva: Artist Talk & Workshop Although Segun is excited the NSF is promoting this initiative, she is skeptical if many women in the science and technology fields will take advantage of it.

Footloose remakes original soundtrack MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — During the 1980s, Kenny Loggins wrote hits for so many popular films that many began referring to him as the "King of the Movie Soundtrack." At the premiere of the new film Monday evening, Loggins The musician penned tunes for movies ranging from "Caddyshack" to "Top Gun," though his most recognizable song arguably remains "Footloose," the catchy theme to the Kevin Bacon dance flick. 10 Doing 11 Despot 19 "— Thee I Sing" 21 Fuss 24 Aries 25 Clay, today 26 Loss of self-control 28 Dundee denial 29 Traitor 30 Disencumber 31 Insult (Sl.) 36 Legendary TV pooch 37 Anger 38 Unilateral 41 "I see" 42 Croupier's tool 43 Eastern potentate 44 Somewhere out there 46 Had on 47 Maleficent 18 Transaction 51 Acapulco gold On Oct. 14, Paramount is releasing a remake of "Footloose" — one whose soundtrack includes a re-tooled version of Loggins' song from country artist Blake Shelton. said he thought Shelton did "a good job" with the updated song, though he took issue with the way the tune was produced. "They paid a lot of attention to the original version, you can tell. I just think they went a little bit crazy with the Pro Tools," he said on the red carpet. Loggins said he's proud of how the "Footloose" theme has endured over the years, saying it's "become more like (Chuck Berry's) 'Johnny B. Goode.' It's like a classic rock staple." Nowadays, Loggins has been keeping busy on the oldies circuit; in February, he'll play a gig with the Glendale Pops Orchestra, and will make a stop at a casino in Indiana a few nights later.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Clooney explores political side in film David Carpenter If the lure is political purists, the film can dissect the basic elements of government. Few have done this better than "All the President's Men." Or, the filmmaker can opt to use politics as a backdrop for the emotional and personal foibles of the participants, which has far more general appeal. Look at the 1998 film "Primary Colors," or even William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" as examples. When it comes to making a political thriller, there generally are two directions to take. Either approach works as long as the storyline is compelling enough to enthrall the viewer until the last vote is counted or the last lie is told. George Clooney — star, co-writer, director — has chosen option two for his compelling "The Ideas of March." The battle between two Democrats for Ohio's electoral votes is just the scenery for this tale of ambition, loyalty, sex, betrayal and abuse of power. MOVIES In other words, it's a lot like real-world politics. Ryan Gosling plays a whiz-kid consultant who believes a charismatic governor (Clooney) has the right stuff to be the next president. His beliefs are shattered by events that begin to unravel on PAGE 4 the campaign trail. Gosling here returns to the type of role where he shines. His talents were wasted in the forgettable "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and he never looked comfortable in the controlled violence of "Drive". But in this film, he has such a believable wide-eyed look that it's easy to accept that in a world of cynics, he could be the last person with true ideals. Clooney looks like he could be both a perfect and imperfect candidate for the White House. That duality creates questions that run through the film and bolster the tension. The supporting cast is loaded with top-notch actors: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and Evan Rachel Wood. Marisa Tomei turns in one of her better efforts playing a dogged journalist, but the part is too small to create any memorable moments. The weak link is the script by Clooney and Grant Heslov, which takes several fantastic right turns. That time should have been better used to bring a little more depth to the plot. When "The Ides of March" stays the political and personal course, it gets my vote. There are only a few moments that will leave you undecided. TELEVISION Sisters stay true to values MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — The sister act of identical twins Tia and Tamera Mowry has centered on their clean-cut image and bouncy charm. The formula served them well as perky child stars in their '90s sitcom "Sister Sister," their Disney Channel tween vehicle "Twitches" and the more mature "Double Wedding" on Lifetime. The well-scrubbed image mirrored their off-screen lifestyle. Openly religious, the Murrys were content to seek more uplifting roles rather than emulate their young peers. The sisters stayed true to their values — no trashy horror movies, sex tapes, battles with eating disorders, kids out of wedlock, club-hopping or revolving-door boyfriends. It's a high ground that would seem to have no place in the arena of reality television, where family dysfunction and hysterical, foul-mouthed fights are often the main attraction. But the sisters have bucked that trend with their Style Network reality series "Tia & Tamera," which in its first season has become the highest-rated program in the cable network's 12-year history, averaging more than 750,000 viewers per week. Call them the anti-Kardashians: There is no foul language that has to be bleeped on "Tia & Tamera," no provocative emphasis on sex. In the series, which has just been renewed for a second season, the twins display dynamic chemistry tinged with edginess and more than a little competitiveness that leads to sharp conflicts. But unlike other reality shows, they resolve their differences without disintegrating into outrageous or exaggerated behavior. "With certain reality shows, you actually see bad acting." Tia said. "If we were going to do that, wed rather be acting as characters. We know there are other sister shows, but we wanted to be different and more positive." Fueling the interest is a wave of nostalgia that has sparked projects from TV personalities such as Fran Drescher and Roseanne Barr. Nick at Nite even launched a block of shows from the 1990s labeled "The '90s Are All That," featuring hits from that era that include "Clarissa Explains It All" and "All That." "I'm very surprised," said Tamera, referring to the show's success while relaxing with her sister recently at a Studio City cafe. "We had awesome success with 'Sister Sister' and the movies, but we never thought people would be as interested with who we are as people." The Style Network reality series follows the 33-year-olds as they confront dramatic life changes — Tamera's marriage to Fox News correspondent Adam Housley and the married Tia's first pregnancy. The first season documents how Tamera's stress in planning her large wedding collided directly with Tia's preparations for motherhood, with Tia's physical condition preventing her from being constantly available to her sister.

EDITORIAL As a result of another decrease in enrollment, the University has been strategically planning ways to reverse the decline. Admissions must focus on graduation rates Figures released by the Kansas Board of Regents show that fall enrollment fell 2.5 percent — a record dip of 744 students. The drop from a record 4,483 incoming freshman in 2008 to significantly smaller classes in 2009 and 2010 shows an alarming trend that needs to be seriously examined. While University officials have said it is going to take extensive efforts to address the issue, students who actually graduate should be the top priority. As a consequence of the gradual decline, it becomes harder to attract potential students who look at the size of the University before deciding to enroll. Even though higher enrollment may help the University retain a sense of popularity, the number one priority should be getting students all the way to graduation. According to a story in The Kansan on Sept. 29, 61 percent of students at the University receive their degrees in six years or less and 20 percent of freshmen drop out, which ranks among the lowest rates in the Big 12. With students accumulating so much loan debt and defaulting, it's understandable that graduating, let alone in four years, becomes a real feat. A new package of renewable scholarships that gives students automatic aid, based on their standardized test scores and high school GPA is an example of a step in the right direction, but more changes are necessary Raising admission standards is also a solution the University has been considering, and it may seem beneficial to better ensure success. But that step is a wasted effort when students are not performing well after being accepted. When it comes down to the strategic planning the University is conducting, it's hard to determine whether a smaller, yet smarter, University would be better than a larger, but less selective, version. Either way, getting students to walk through the Campanile and receive their degrees should be the most desired end result of the University's purpose. To establish a consistent propensity of academic success for students, it has to start with keeping students in school.

STUDENT LIFE Late-night misadventures of a pizza delivery driver I work as a pizza delivery driver for an independent pizza place that stays open excruciatingly late on the weekends. I would make etiquette suggestions for customers regarding late night conduct, but the thing about being drunk is that you kind of forget all the basic elements of life your mother taught you, so I assume there's no way my advice would be retained. Instead, I'll just relay a typical Friday night as a delivery driver in Lawrence. By Jarod Kilgore jkilgore@kansan.com I take orders over the phone between deliveries, and it is incredibly annoying when people order from the middle of a party. Never in the history of drunk people calling for pizza has anyone still had their synapses firing well enough to leave a party before ordering; instead, they will often try, in an annoyed tone, to shush the dozens of screaming drunkards in what I assume is a tiny house on either Kentucky or Tennessee Street. Of course, if this was a movie, the person making the call could just pull the plug on the DJ's record player, thereby screeching everyone's dancing to a halt. Unless you were the host, this would be the lamest option, therefore I suggest leaving the "loads of fun" you're having for a mere 45-second phone call. Around 2 a.m. there seems to be a small contingent of males whose friends would presumably describe as "Funny, in a Kurt Cobain sort of way," who like to jump in front of my car. After seeing I'm neither drunk nor willing to kill him at the moment, the male typically flexes one last time for the camera (which doesn't exist), utters "That's a win" and stumbles to the grass — where he celebrates his victory by sitting in spilled Milwaukee's Best while waiting for his roommate to pick him up, because he forgot where he lived. Since all cities are designed by "Who's that? The new girl?" on Take Your Daughter to Work Day, their streets never make any sense. So when I need help finding a place, I call a friend with a computer — who quickly reminds me "It's probably in north Lawrence. Every time you call, it's because it's in north Lawrence." With his help, I can usually find the right road before the pizza has become so soggy and cold that the drunks might actually care. I've become most annoyed with the lack of lighting in Lawrence, not only on the streets, but on the houses themselves. It's as if the city designer, often referred to with affection as "Little Pumpkin", was inspired to recreate the illumination and creepiness of 1800s London on every side street. As soon as I've found the right street I can perform the complicated mathematical formula I've coined as the "I'll just call them Theorem." At which point I call the lucky guy who almost forgot he ordered three Svedka shots ago. Once I find him, I give him the pizza, remind myself, "Tips aren't that important, after all, I'm being paid three times minimum wage in the '70s," and go back to the store for the next delivery. And so goes the rest of the night, rinse and repeat, until 3 a.m. Once the trash is taken out the floors are mopped, and you are done making bad decisions for the night, try to use your last brain cell to remember your delivery driver, and maybe thank him or her in your head. After all, this is just one of the many thankless service jobs that are often occupied by your fellow University of Kansas students. Kilgore is a junior in film and media studies from Lenexa LETTER to the EDITOR Football fans: Quit hating your home team Immediately after the homecoming football game began, I heard the first of a plethora of condescending comments about the game coming from behind me. "How do we always end up standing in front of people that only have bad things to say about the team?" I asked my boyfriend. He replied simply, "They're everywhere." He's right. Of the 15 or so football games I've been to in my three years at the University, I cannot think of a single game during which I was not standing in earshot of a hater. It's always some guys who feel the need to let everyone around them know that the team is making every possible mistake, just throwing away the game. Call me crazy, but I don't think it's very supportive to make a negative comment about every single play our team makes, and it's certainly I'll admit that I don't know that much about football, so I don't know if any of what the haters are saying holds any merit. But I do know that we, as students, go to the games to support the team and have a good time. not enjoyable for the rest of us. We go to the games wearing Jayhawks on our shirts. If you want to root for the other team, get out of our student section. G hate on our team somewhere else — preferably as far away from Memorial Stadium as possible. People like me, who want to see the team succeed and just enjoy the atmosphere, don't want to hear every comment out of your know-it-all mouths.

CULTURE Facebook distorts ideal image of self Facebook has evolved drastically since I started my account six years ago. Back in high school, I used to log on for about twenty minutes a day. I used it for the simple things, like posting photos or writing on my friend's wall. It was a great way to communicate with friends when we weren't in school. More than half a decade later, users can now update statuses, attend events, add photos from their phones,"like" certain posts, link twitter posts and even can "check-in" (which posts the exact location you are and who you are with and is incredibly creepv). It is uncommon these days for people to not have a Facebook, considering that pets and babies have them. For those of you who do not have one, these changes allow users to virtually stalk another's life. For the vast majority of you that have one, you are guilty of stalking. Most people use their Facebook as a projection of how they want their lives to be regarded, whether they want to admit to it or not. We choose the perfect profile picture. We think of the wittiest statuses. We add photos of all the fun events going in our lives like study abroad programs, the first week of college, 21st birthdays, family reunions and date parties. We add check-ins, so others can see both what social activities you are doing and who you are doing it with. Let's face it: Facebook is our best possible self. On Facebook, we have the liberty to negate certain elements of our day like the mundane activities. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, "A large part of this generation's social and emotional development is occurring while on the internet." People jokingly say phrases like "It is Facebook official," or "Well on 'fb', it says so." The virtual world seems relativity real. The latent effects of this projection can cause others to feel curious, lonely or jealous. This stems from how humans constantly compare themselves to one another. For example, Facebook has become more than a social networking website. It is the reflection of our ideal self. It is filled with emotion, personality and character. If you are one of the many people that log on to the virtual world, remember this reflection only shows part of the story. It only includes what the person deems fit. At the end of the day, Facebook is just a complex online blog. While the statuses, photos, wall posts and check-ins are all convenient, nothing replaces the memories you achieve living your life. That is something that only belongs to you. Saha is a junior in neurobiology from Overland Park CARTOON However, it is important to realize Facebook is just a glorified version of oneself ending with a "com." If I portrayed my life as it usually is, my profile picture would be me in gym attire. Trust me, I am not working out. Nike shorts are more comfortable. My status would say "Eating string cheese and going to Haworth," My check-ins would be at Anschutz and I would tag myself.

PAGE 6 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2011 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL KANSAN FILE PHOTO KANSAS 21 Junior forward Carolyn Davis goes for a lay-up last season. Davis joins the preseason all-Big 12 team after leading the team in scoring and rebounding last season. Forward honored with spot on Big 12 team KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com At the end of the first official practice for the Kansas women's basketball team, coach Bonnie Henrickson asked junior forward Carolyn Davis Davis KANSAS to meet in her office. Fear spread across Davis' face before she asked. "Is this thumbs up?" Henrickson confirmed, yes, this was thumbs up. Davis was named to the preseason all-Big 12 team after leading-the team in scoring and rebounding last season. "It is a big honor and I am glad that other coaches in the league feel the way that my coaches feel about me and have confidence in me and my teammates do to," Davis said. Davis was joined on the list by four players to a tie: Brittney Griner and Odyssey Sims of Baylor, Toni Young of Oklahoma State, Chassidy Fussell of Texas and Tyra White of Texas A&M. Henrickson was proud, but not surprised by the news. "Quite honestly I would have been surprised if she had not been recognized," Henrickson said. "She has the respect of the coaches in our league about how she has performed at a high level consistently and what she brings to the table for us and certainly enhances our chance to be successful." Davis was also named to the preseason Wade Watch List, which looks for the NCAA player of the year. "It is a lot of energy, but it is a lot of pressure to meet those expectations," Davis said. "It is a challenge for me to play well this season." Henrickson is looking to take a more direct approach to coaching Davis this season. It will center on candid conversations about what she needs to do to continue to move her game forward from here. "When you are at that level it is about doing all the things to you do really well all the time," Henrickson said. For now, the team is focusing on getting back to practice and preparing for Late Night in the Phog next Friday. Davis is positive about how the team worked in their first practice. "It went great," Davis said. "We had a lot of energy, a lot of competitiveness and so it was looking really good." FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 10 demanding on the players and coaches pre-game preparation.

CHARLIE RIEDEL/ASSOCIATED PRESS Quarterback shows passion, toughness against Miami ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — Anyone who might have wondered about Collin Klein's toughness got a definitive answer when Kansas State played at Miami a couple of weeks ago. The quarterback absorbed one bone-jarring hit after another, and with time ticking down as the Wildcats prepared for a final stand, the 6-foot-5 Klein breached the defensive huddle, jumping up and down, smacking guys on the shoulder pads.

"If he has two broken legs, he's still going to be waving the trainers off, trying to stay on the field," safety Tysyn Hartman said. "It's that competitive nature that we've come to expect from Collin."

"I don't think I've ever seen him give up on anything," said Klein, who has another son, Kyle, on the team. "He will finish it and do it until the end. He doesn't give up on people, he doesn't give up on the project, he just never gives up." Part of that competitive nature comes from his mother, Kelly Klein, who said she takes pride her son's determination, discipline and teamwork. "I really admire that because sometimes I feel like I could give up," she added. "He never does." Klein earned a reputation as a running quarterback last season, when he torched Texas for 127 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start. He's still dangerous with his legs — he's run for 423 yards this season — but he's also showing an increasingly effective arm to keep defenses off balance. Klein's completed 47 of 85 passes for 481 yards and six TDs this season, including the go-ahead score to save Kansas State from an embarrassing loss to Eastern Kentucky. Wide receiver Chris Harper, who used to play quarterback and who first met Klein when the two were in high school, has seen the difference in his throwing motion over the years. "The mechanics have changed a little bit," said his father, Doug Klein. "I know his release is a little faster. His arm speed is better. I don't know exactly what they've changed. I think it's been more fine-tuning than anything, and reps. Between playing for a high school team with a run-oriented philosophy and splitting time between football and basketball—he had as many college offers to take the court as he did the gridiron — Klein simply didn't have the same number of throwing reps that most college quarterbacks do. "Collin's a great student," he said, "so whatever little adjustments here and there that they make. I'm sure he takes it very serious, and he works at it and will progress along that very well." "It's a lot smoother than what it was," Harper said. "He's put the time in. Even that year that he played receiver, he was putting time in every day after practice. People were catching him every single day. There wasn't a day that went past that he wasn't throwing Povey said Klein always had great fundamentals, even though his throwing motion is the subject of snickers to this day. "You've just seen the progress," Harper said, "even the progress from earlier this season." Players have always been privy to Klein's work ethic — he's usually at the front of the pack during sprints — but Harper senses something else, something he hadn't noticed until recently. "This year it's like he has more fire," Harper said. "I didn't know he had that kind of fire and that kind of passion, and he's starting to show that a lot more." 1 1 --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2011 FOOTBALL PAGE 7 Oklahoma State receiver a threat to Kansas COWBOYS 81 MIKE GUINNEO/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Sophomore cornerback Greg Brown breaks up a pass to Oklahoma State wide reciever Justin Blackmon last season. Blackmon has 38 receptions for 450 yards as well as four touchdowns so far this season ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com twitter@UDK_B12fball Last year Blackmon caught 10 passes for 130 yards and one touchdown in his matchup against the Jayhawks. Widely regarded as one of the most talented receivers in college football in 2010, Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon recorded at least 100 yards receiving and one touchdown reception every game. "He's just an athlete, a big athlete," sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. "A guy like that who can run and is that tall, he's going to cause problems automatically." By Blackmon's standards, his numbers have been down this season. He failed to record a touchdown catch in the season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette and only had 57 yards receiving against Tula. By anyone else's standards, his 38 receptions for 450 yards and four touchdowns would be considered a pretty good start to the season. He ranks 15th in the nation with 112.5 receiving yards per game. "He's a dang tough guy to stop," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. "A&M tried to do some things to scheme against him, and they had other receivers that in the third quarter blew the game open." Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden's ability to run the Cowboys' fast-paced offense has contributed greatly to Blackmon's success. The Cowboys run an average of 88.5 plays from scrimmage per game. The tempo tires defenses by preventing them from making substitutions. The Weeden to Blackmon combo led to 20 touchdown connections last year. This season the duo have led the Cowboys to the NCAA's second-ranked passing offense and third-ranked scoring offense. "He knows that the quarterback is going to put the ball on the money, and when a receiver knows that if he runs this route against this coverage, the ball is going to be there time and time again, as a receiver it's pretty good motivation to keep running hard," Shealy said. Blackmon and the Cowboy's high-flying offense could spell trouble for the Kansas defense. Through the first four games, the Jayhawks rank 108th in the nation in passing and last in scoring defense. "You always want to take away one of the big, key players from someone's offense, try to see who else can make a play on their offense," junior cornerback Greg Brown said. "It puts stress on their offense. Taking out their best player makes them have to find another way to beat our defense." Edited by Jonathan Shorman STUDY IN THE MOST EXCITING, VIBRANT CITY ON EARTH.

Windom/Los won both of their matches for the day with victories of 8-3 and 8-4. Chris Bronson/KANSAN Sophomore Dylan Windom wasn't even alive the last time a Kansas women's tennis player qualified for the main draw at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (FTA) Women's All-American Championship. This week, Windom and senior Ekaterina Morozova will team up as the first Jayhawks to accomplish that feat since 1990. The duos currently No. 33 in the ITA Division I rankings, will face Pepperdine's Khunpak Issara and Ale Granillo on Thursday for its first-round match in Pacific Palisades, Calif. (RIGHT) Junior Ekaterina Morozova celebrates after defeating her UMKC opponent in singles competition friday at the KU Invitational. Morozova won two sets to one. "They made it here and they deserve to be here," coach Amy Hall-Holt said of her top doubles team. "They need to work hard and work to get every point possible to be competitive with whoever they are forced to play against." Morozova and Windom first began playing doubles together last season, when Windom filled in for Erin Wilbert, Morozovas doubles partner at the time. Hall-Holt said their games fit well together as the spring season progressed. The duo went 15-7 in overall doubles play and 6-5 in the Big 12, defeating two nationally-ranked opponents along the way. By the end of the season, they had earned a spot on the All-Big 12 doubles team and were ranked nationally at No. 67. "Our energy is always high, we're always pumping each other up, and her groundstrokes easily set me up at the net," Windom said. "Everything just clicks when we play together." Morozova and Windom have developed a friendship that spans far beyond their tennis success, despite coming from places on opposite sides of the world. Morozova comes from Togliata, Russia, while Windsweep went in Tifton, Ga. "We're not just a good doubles team, but we're also really good friends," Morozova said. "No matter what happens on the court, I always support her, and she always supports me." This isn't the first time attending the ITA All-American Championship for Morozova. Last year, she played in the tournament's pre- qualifying singles draw, and took a step forward earlier this week by competing in the qualifying singles draw, but never won any of those matches. She also played in the ITA pre-qualifying doubles draw last year with Wilbert, where the two won their first-round match, but lost in the second round. Morozova may hold only a 1-4 overall record at the tournament, but she knows those experiences should help her prepare for the highly competitive main doubles draw this week. "Dylan and I worked really hard last year and played a lot of good matches, so I think we deserve it," Morozova said. "We're good as a team; we communicate well. And for me, since it's my senior year, I'm going to do our best. We're both going to do our best." Because of her age, Windsom is in a slightly different position from Morozova, as she may have two more opportunities to play in the tournament after this year. "It's a great accomplishment being in the main draw of the all-American tournament as a sophomore." Windom said. "I'm just embracing the moment and having fun." quarterfinals of the main draw this week, both Morozova and Windom will become all-Americans.

The team placed well in the competition while breaking several personal records. Melanie Luthi, a senior from Junction City, placed third in the women's collegiate single.

A: .660 KU Athletics iPod shuffle challenge teaches patience MORNING BREW Sports are all about streaks. Every red-blooded American man knows that Joe DiMaggio holds the longest hitting streak in Major league history at 56 consecutive games and that Brett Favre holds the ultimate Iron Man streak of starting 297 consecutive NFL games. Last week, I began a streak of my own. It doesn't compare at all to the great sports streaks by most legends, and doesn't require any athletic ability, but it is one that is a challenge to me, nonetheless. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com As I type this, I am currently on the 58th consecutive song without skipping a single song since hitting the shuffle button on my iPod. Before I go into too much detail, I should explain that my iPod is one of the old school iPods. I have had it since high school without removing a single song. That means there are 3,668 songs that could possibly pop up at any moment, including songs that I have no idea how they got on there, such as "Strip Me" by Natasha Bedingfield (seriously. I have not listened to this song once before today, until it came through my earbuds as I passed Wescoe Beach on Tuesday. no idea). First off, it is an exercise in patience. In today's world, people always seem to be rushing to get from point A to point B. I don't mean to be cliché, but sometimes it's nice to step back and enjoy the ride. Why would I put myself through the unnecessary pain of listening to songs I don't care for while I'm walking to class or going for a run? After all, if sports fans just focus on the championship, they miss the best part of following a team through the ups and downs of a season and watching that team morph into a unit. The fan who sticks with them through thick and thin also succeeds and falls with that team. Second, it is a sense of pride. The first time I tried this exercise. I was a wee freshman in high school. My sister told me about the challenge and then, with somewhere between 700 and 1000 songs on my iPod, I'd usually make it to around 100 songs before giving up. This time around, I'm hoping my wiser, older self will be more mature and be able to sit through the shuffle for longer time. Do I realistically expect to make it to song number 3,668? No, but along the way I'll have fun discovering songs I never knew were on there. KU — Edited by Mandy Matney THIS WEEK IN SPORTS A 田径 足球 Sport Thur. Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed.

The Jayhawks' defense will have to step up against Oklahoma State's fast-paced offense. The last 16 months or so of conference realignment Edited by Jonathan Shorman So please don't pretend Missouri is looking to hightail it out just as everything is getting settled, because at best it's a six-year window of stability and at worst it gives Texas and Oklahoma a few more years to figure out what they want to do. A six-year deal spells stability like MC Hammer spells financial guru. Missouri not pursuing its options at this point would be irresponsible. Of course, if Missouri ends up leaving for greener pastures it puts Kansas in a tough spot in this realignment game. Emotional tirades from Kansas fans toward its neighbors to the east are understandable, but if the last 16 months taught us anything, it's that it's every school for itself. cemented that, more often than not, fans simply cannot take emotions out of sports. When Nebraska left the Big 12 last summer for the Big 10, it wasn't because it was a better fit and sound business decision. It was because it couldn't beat Texas. When Texas A&M signed off last month, it wasn't because the Big 12 is more dys-functional than an episode of Jersey Shore, it was because it couldn't stand Texas anymore. What a lot of people don't want to hear is that decisions like these are not made because a team can't beat another team. Nor are they made because a school is fed up with another school. Decisions like these are made because of money, plain and simple. Well, and stability, which is what the Big 10 and SEC have and the Big 12 wishes it had. Ask Nebraska how it is doing in the Big 10, a conference in a perfect spot for further expansion. Texas A&M and Colorado are in identical situations. The trio of departed schools are sitting comfortably while the Big 12 is dangling in the wind for the second straight year. With the Missouri curators officially giving Chancellor Brady Deaton the authority to shop around for another conference, likely the SEC, fans are in an uproar again. Except this time the "You just can't beat Texas" or "You just hate so-and-so" excuses are harder to find. Probably because there aren't any of those excuses. There never were. Sure, the Big 12 just agreed to equally distribute tier I and II television revenues, but it is only a six-year deal, and nothing has even been signed yet. First tier revenues come from ABC and ESPN games while second tier revenues come from Fox Sports. Also included in the equal sharing plan are men and women's basketball games as well as NCAA tournament revenues. Tier III broadcasts, which will not be shared, include Texas' Longhorn Network. Part of the six-year deal also includes every school granting the league its television rights for the length of the contract, meaning a team choosing to leave will forfeit its television rights until the six-year window closes. That sounds good, but what stops a Texas or Oklahoma from leaving in four years, sacrificing two years of television money in exchange for a fat, new deal in, say, the Pac-12 or SEC, and taking a potential spot from a Missouri or Kansas later on? Nothing at all. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_Fball It's a safe bet to say that a few more grays have been added to defensive coordinator Vic Shealy's salt-and-pepper hair in preparation for Oklahoma State throughout this week. The Cowboys boast an offense that rides the leading edge of a revolution in college football. And it's not just the spread offense, which has become commonplace to see in college football. The revolution is the over-the-top, fast-paced tempo in which they run their offense. it makes it too tough for the defense to keep fresh players moving in and out of the action. "It puts more pressure on the defensive coaches," coach Turner Gill said. "Five years ago or 10 years ago, you had time where you could always substitute. The offenses are dictating a lot more now." That quick-snap style not only makes it hard for defensive coordinators to scheme against, but The Cowboys run an offense in which they will often snap the ball as fast as possible, Shealy said after reviewing game film on Oklahoma State. He would see a receiver catch the ball out of bounds, flip the ball away and then run hard back to the line of scrimmage. Shealy said as soon as the receiver gets back to the line, the ball is ready to be snapped. The trick for the defense comes in trying to recoup and get lined up properly in time. All the while, the defensive coaches try to get their play calls to their players in the best way possible. The combination of trying to get lined up while looking to the sideline to get their play call has made it SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 6 MEN'S BASKETBALL Taylor brushes up on sharp shooting MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.con twitter.com/udk_bball "I've been shooting all summer," said Taylor, a senior guard from Hoboken, N.J. Tyshawn Taylor knows the greatest weakness of his game and he's been working to fix it. Off a dribble, pass, on- or off-ball screen, he is practicing his shot for any scenario: fadeaway, free throw, upright jump shot and leaner, left and right. Three-pointers, mid-rangers and layups, he is leaving no shot behind. "Ty is playing the best basketball from a point guard that I've seen." Freshman guard Merv Lindsay said. Lindsay said Taylor's shot has proper lift, meaning that his shot takes a trajectory that maximizes the chance of the ball dropping into the hoop. A line-drive shot is usually more difficult to convert and a rainbow shot can be just as flawed. Taylor works several hours each day to find a happy medium and become consistent and dependable from the perimeter. "The real good shooters train themselves to shoot the same way every time," Taylor said. "Even when they've got a defender in their face." Taylor said it's easier for him to shoot off a pass because it gives him time to gather himself and explode into the air for a clean and less-contested shot. An attempt off the dribble can be more difficult. Taylor said, because it depends more on the defender. You might have to fade away or try to draw a foul, rather than simply catching and TYSHAWN TAYLOR Senior guard "The real good shooters train themselves to shoot the same way every time." However Taylor is the starting point guard in a primarily half-court offense and will likely have the ball in his hands more than any other jayhawk. So when coach Bill Self wants to get Taylor's shot going, he will likely have junior guard "You never know when you're going to get it," Taylor said of attempting a shot off the dribble. shooting. Elijah Johnson and freshman guard Naadir Tharpe distribute the ball. As Taylor has progressed his game, he's noticeably stepped up as a leader for the team. Yes, the same player who was suspended last season for violating team rules and who dislocated a finger after fighting with the football team is now a role model and motivator for the younger players. The Morris twins had that role last year and now it belongs to Taylor. "He's going to do some special things this season," Lindsay said of Taylor. "Tyshawn's been a great leader, has a much better attitude and it's shown on the court," senior guard Conner Teahan said. Leading a team and knocking down jump shots in the offseason is different than doing the same in the heart of the conference schedule. But his teammates are confident that this will be a different year for Taylor, the scapegoat point guard of the past. "When you have somebody that you can rely on and that people have respect for," Teahan said, "it makes it that much easier."

The requests are used primarily to keep track of reproductions and their usage. Images from Spencer have been hung in restaurants, published in books and displayed in homes. A current exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art also uses images from Spencer Research Library. "Glorious to View: The KU Campus Heritage Project" is a collaboration between Spencer Museum of Art Kenzie Tubbs, a senior from St. Louis, said she helped design a piece in the "Glorious to View" exhibit focused on Old North College. Old North College, originally North College Hall, was the campus' first building, built in 1866. The site is staff and University graphic design students. Chassica Kirchhoff, a curatorial intern at Spencer Museum of Art, said "Glorious to View" features archive images from both Spencer Museum of Art and Spencer Research Library. "It was so hard to pick the ones for 'Campus Heritage' because there are so many crazy pictures of campus," Kirchhoff said. Amanda Kilwin, a senior from St. Louis, said her work in the exhibit focuses on Potter Lake. She said she learned a lot about the history of campus and the number of images Spencer Research Library and Spencer Museum of Art hold. now occupied by GSP-Corbin residence halls. She said her group was provided with several photos to work with by Spencer Museum of Art curators. "It's fascinating to look at the photos," Tubbs said. "I didn't even know these old images existed." "They have a huge collection," Kilwin said. "They are not always able to show everything in the museum." Kirchhoff said many of the images from Spencer Museum of Art and Spencer Research Library can be found on Luna Insight, an online collection database found on the University's library website. Images from Spencer Museum of Art, like those of Spencer Research Library, can be reproduced for personal, academic and publication purposes, Kirchhoff said.

Working retail, for the most part, has a bad rap. I've had several people tell me they'd never want my job. They could "never work with customers." The funny thing is, the customers are the reason why I love my job. During my many long and sometimes painful (I advise anyone who is standing for more than five hours not to wear heels) shifts of hawking sweaters and khakis, I've become a sort of "customer psychologist." But instead of therapy, I'll counsel them into finding the perfect pair of jeans. My favorite, and typically the most interesting part of my "session" with a customer is finding out why they want to buy something. Almost always, a customer is out shopping for something specific; a new dress for a friend's birthday party or a sweatshirt for next week's football game. Unless you're buying on impulse, we usually have a reason for purchasing an item. But what if that necklace you bought not only made you more stylish, but also helped raise awareness for children in the Democratic Republic of Congo? Or if a bag, besides carrying your books and laptop, helped support a Ugandan family? With organizations like TOMS and Invisible Children, customers not only look good, but they feel good when buying a product because they know it's benefiting someone else. For more on products that help others, check out Drew's story on page eight. My Saturday afternoon therapy sessions might not be saving the world, but I like to think I push customers to think about what they're purchasing.

KJHK CALLER ASKS: MARIA LUCAS A week ago, I met a really nice Contributed Photo guy and we hit it off right away. We expressed to one another that we were just looking for someone to go out and spend time with. Our first official date went very well and I was certain that we'd see each other again because during the date he would make references to future dates. Well, a few hours after the date he texted me saying that while he had a nice time with me and liked me he wasn't ready for any kind of commitment and wanted to keep his options open. I have never connected this soon with someone and I could tell he was into me, but now suddenly I'm rejected because he likes me too much? Or was this just his way of saying he's not into me? MICHELLE ANSWERS: After initially meeting this guy you expressed your desire for a casual relationship. Is this how you truly feel? Or were you jumping on board with his desire; hoping that by agreeing with him, you would get to date him? You had a great time on your first date - wonderful - but he has not made an effort to see you again. Perhaps you left him with the impression that you were ready to be in a monogamous relationship. Remember, you told him before your first date that you want the same dating relationship as he does: casual, no expectations, and fun. Again, is this something you really desire? You also make the statement, "I never connected this soon with someone..." I agree, this is a wonderful feeling, but you only went on one date with this guy. Take your time getting to know a person before the fantasy of monogamy sparkles in your mind. A long-lasting connection with a life-long partner takes much, much longer than a three hour dinner date. You must find compatibility in more than musical tastes, favorite foods, recreational activities or ultimate travel destinations. Morals, religion, children, family relations, money, sex, politics, handling of stress, communication, work ethic, education and spiritual compatibility is vital in healthy, long-term relationships. Finally, he did like you! Something during your first date made him concerned you were interested in more than a casual dating relationship. He is not looking for a serious relationship right now. His text was polite, sincere and honest. It seems as though, despite a mutual attraction, neither parties are on the same desired relationship page. As you move forward, be honest with yourself and your desired dating relationship. Are you searching for casual, multiple dating partners? Or do you want to find your next boyfriend immediately? Once you solidify your own desires, honestly communicate this to potential dating partners. I promise you there are men out there looking to settle down.

That sounds good, but what stops a Texas or Oklahoma from leaving in four years, sacrificing two years of television money in exchange for a fat, new deal in, say, the Pac-12 or SEC, and taking a potential spot from a Missouri or Kansas later on? Nothing at all. So please don't pretend Missouri is looking to hightail it out just as everything is getting settled, because at best it's a six-year window of stability and at worst it gives Texas and Oklahoma a few more years to figure out what they want to do. A six-year deal spells stability like MC Hammer spells financial guru. Missouri not pursuing its options at this point would be irresponsible. Of course, if Missouri ends up leaving for greener pastures it puts Kansas in a tough spot in this realignment game. Emotional tirades from Kansas fans toward its neighbors to the east are understandable, but if the last 16 months taught us anything, it's that it's every school for itself. off-rail screen, he is practicing his shot for any scenario: fade away, free throw, upright jump shot and leaner, left and right. Three-pointers, mid-rangers and layups, he is leaving no shot behind. Lindsay said Taylor's shot has proper lift, meaning that his shot takes a trajectory that maximizes the chance of the ball dropping into the hoop. A line-drive shot is usually more difficult to convert and a rainbow shot can be just as flawed. Taylor works several hours each day to find a happy medium and become consistent and dependable from the perimeter.

But his teammates are confident that this will be a different year for Taylor, the scapegoat point guard of the past. "When you have somebody that you can rely on and that people have respect for," Teahan said, "it makes it that much easier." 32 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Edited by Ben Chipman Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor is fouled in the final minute of last season's game against Illinois.

He trails CONTACT ❤️ The Ex Effect OR Let's Just Be Friends A break up is hard, but deciding how to move on can be even harder. VIRGINIA SCHOOL CITY JUNIOR GIRL'S UNION Diana Illustration by Ashw Daniell Photo illustration by Abby Davis Friend or Foe: Attempting to be friends with an ex can be tricky When Andi Rose, a junior from Leawood, and her boyfriend of five years broke up earlier this month, she knew it wasn't the end. It wasn't an ugly break up and because they had dated for so long, she knew a friendship would continue. "We were always like, 'we'll always be friends no matter what' because we're so close." Rose says. While Rose and her ex-boyfriend remain friends, not all other exes go the same route. A 2004 NBC.com poll found that 48 percent of people surveyed remained friends with their ex, and 18 percent said they've tried but it hasn't worked. With factors like rekindling feelings, new boyfriends or girlfriends and emotional attachment coming into play, it's clear that being friends with an ex isn't always easy. It's also hard to figure out when to stay friends or call it quits for good. Exes often find several reasons to keep some sort of communication in tact, especially when choosing to remain friends. According to April Masini, an online relationship advice expert, there are three main reasons why exes may want to maintain a friendship: 1. To give it a secret, second shot at love CHRISTINE CURTIN 2. To hold on while waiting for someone new to come along and have no hard feelings, they say hi to each other and talk about once a week. She says she's kept an open mind and has slowly worked into the friendship they have. "I feel comfortable moving forward with my life and still being friends with him," Rose says. "Some people have to stop everything, but thankfully we didn't have to." While these reasons give justification to the friendship, it puts exes in a tough spot that may be even harder to leave than the initial break up. "Even well-intentioned attempts at friendship after a break up may stir feelings you didn't know you had," Masini says. Initially it seems that only the exes will be affected by their friendship, but new boyfriends or girlfriends put a whole new spin on the situation. The new boyfriends or girlfriends can help reveal jealous tendencies and often lead to an awkward, three-person relationship triangle. Darshana Hawks, a relationship expert and licensed relationship coach, says when a new boyfriend or girlfriend arrives, the real reason for the other ex wanting to stay friends come out. "The friendship's effect on a new partner really has to do with the exes' intentions. A lot of exes claim they want to be friends, but most of the time it's about emotional attachment." Hawks says. Soon, the ex and a new boyfriend or girlfriend will be vying for the same emotional attachment. Choosing to maintain a friendship is a completely personal decision by both exes. According to Hawks, it's crucial to be honest about the break up and be clear about what both sides want in terms of boundaries when it comes to the friendship. In her opinion, it's a complete case-by-case situation for deciding whether to stay friends is a good idea or not. "It depends on what being friends with your ex means," she says. "There's a fine line between being friends and it being excessive." On the other hand, Masini thinks there's never an acceptable time to be friends after a break up. "Friendships after break ups create uncertain circumstances," Masini says. "The friendships hold at least one of you back, and often both of you." After breaking up, staying friends or quiting each other cold turkey aren't the only options. It's completely normal, and encouraged, for exes to remain cordial. A friendly smile or a wave when you pass each other eliminates the bad feelings from the break up, but doesn't lead on to anything more. Since Rose and her ex remain friends Don't want a post-break-up friendship? Masini gives these guidelines: Masini gives these guidelines: 1. Surround yourself with friends and family. 2. Don't stalk your ex. 3. Test the waters, but don't dive in if you're not ready. 4. Don't go to your old romance haunts—find new ones. 5. Box up mementos, photos and gifts. Start fresh. 6. Nurture yourself. Don't drown your sorrows in pizza, beer and Greos. 7. Make lunch and dinner dates with your friends who you haven't seen in awhile. 8. Figure out where you went wrong last time and how to do it better next time around. Want a post-break-up friendship? Hawks gives these guidelines: Hawks gives these guidelines: 1.

WIFI 人 物 型 式 | BY NANA AGYEN AS TOLD TO NADIA IMAFIDON | OYE Contributed Photo When she was 14 years old, Nana Agyen, a senior from Accra, Ghana, diagnosed herself with cold, heat and exercise-induced Urticaria. Anytime the weather is extremely cold or hot, hives cover her entire body. She has the same allergic reaction when she works out. I was participating in a basketball competition at my middle school in Accra, Ghana. My skin started to itch as I ran back and forth on the court with my friends. I thought I was itchy because it was incredibly hot, and I was sweating like crazy. But then I saw spots on my on my arms and legs, in rows in a cornfield. I ignored it at first, running even harder to keep up with everyone, but the more I ran, the bigger they got. I discovered that they were everywhere including my face. I started scratching them and within seconds, they got bigger. On my arm, the hives came together in this huge blob. There were huge patches of red, swollen, itchy hives everywhere else on my body. I panicked and ran to tell my teacher. He grabbed some of my friends and took me into an empty classroom. They poured cold water on me, hoping that it would cool down my skin. Little holes appeared on each of the hives, clearly not helping the matter. Later I discovered this reaction was cold Urticaria. Some boys walked into the classroom. They hadn't seen anything like this before. They took one look at me and called a lizard. It honestly looked like had scales. I put talcum powder on my skin and the hives went away. My mom thought I'd grow out of it, so I never went to the doctor. But every time since then, the breakout comes back in extremely hot or cold weather. I try to only go out in the perfect weather but it isn't something I can control. Walking across the campus in the heat is the worst, and working out at the recreation center is a challenge. I used to fear that one day the spots would stay on me forever. It was embarrassing because no one I knew had ever seen it before. Now I've accepted this condition as a part of me.

With only a few schoolbooks in his hands, he makes the all too familiar night commute, in the dark, from his village, Lacor, into the city of Gulu, Uganda. Walking for miles, Tony travels with other children from his community to their camp; it's safer there. When Tony and the children reach their destination, they discover yesterday's rain standing an inch deep on the floor. Before Tony and his friends can settle in for the night, they must mop up the water as best they can with their clothes, blankets and buckets. This floor is their desk for homework and their bed for sleep. After clearing out as much water as possible, Tony and the other children lie down and pray they aren't found in the night. Sixteen years ago, that was Tony's reality. He spent his days trying to get the best education possible in Uganda, a country located in central Africa, and spent his nights hiding from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel army led by Joseph Kony. According to Tony's documentary, Kony's army would invade villages in Uganda at night and kidnap children to fight in their battles. Because of Invisible Children, a non-profit organization existing to help end the use of child soldiers in central Africa since 2003, Tony's fear and night commuting came to an end. In the last decade, businesses, organizations and campaigns like Invisible Children have gained popularity. Instead of just making a charitable contribution, people can still support causes while getting something stylish in return. Offering products from necklaces to wine, companies such as Falling Whistles, TOMS, Invisible Children and ONEHOPE exist to offer products to people in exchange for funds to benefit others worldwide. Sara Jawhari, KU's Invisible Children club co-president, walks around campus with her black messenger bag. It's not until you see the bag up close that you see "MEND" stitched into the side and know it's different than other messenger bags. MEND is a program Invisible Children created to stimulate northern Uganda's economy by providing jobs for women, Jawhari says. MEND bags, made from Ugandan cotton, are and produced at Invisible Children's sewn product workspace in northern Uganda. "IC seamstresses produce hand-crafted bags, all which bear the name of the individual woman who made them and come with a card that explains who made your bag," says Monica Vigo, Invisible Children public relations intern. "The card has a link that takes you to an exclusive bio video introducing you to the seamstress." Fifty percent of all purchases go towards funding Invisible Children's campaigns to raise awareness and support while the other half goes directly towards the children affected by the LRA and their families, according to Invisible Children's website. Out of 1.8 million displaced Ugandans, an estimated 900,000 have been able to return home and end their nights of commuting to refugee camps because of Invisible Children's work Invisible Children isn't the only campaign raising awareness on the use of child soldiers in Africa. While they help those affected by the LRA, Falling Whistles exists to raise awareness of child soldier use in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo is located just west of Uganda. There, a young boy is commanded to the front lines of a war between the Congolese Tutsi rebel army and the Hutu rebel army, an ongoing war since 1997, according to FallingWhistles.com. The boy isn't trained or strong enough to use a gun, but Laurent Nkunda, Congolese Tutsi rebel army leader, doesn't leave this child soldier empty handed. As the young boy fights back tears, he's handed a whistle and sent out to serve as a temporary barricade. As he stands beside other child soldiers, he places his whistle in his mouth and takes a deep breath. Waiting for the Hutu rebels to approach, he hears the thunderous chants getting louder and louder, and then, it's time. The young boy sees the army and blows. Out goes his final breath, the whistle an alarm sounding to scare the enemy and alarm the Congolese solders the war is imminent. This boy is one of six million other fallen whistles in the last decade, according to the website, because of the continuous battles between the Tutsi rebels and Hutu rebels – a conflict tracing back to the 1960s when Belgium lost control of Central Africa. Falling Whistles, a campaign started in 2008, has a mission to stop the war in Congo by raising awareness of the country's devastation. Founder Sean Carasso was in Congo when he met five child soldiers who had escaped the rebel armies. Busco, Bahati, Serungendo, Claude and Sadiki were their names. No older than 15, but old enough to carry a gun, the boys told Carasso about the "whistle blowers," the younger child soldiers. "When Sean got back from Congo, he didn't have answers. Overwhelmed with the complexity of the problem at hand, he went to parties, screaming at people to pay attention to the deadliest war of our time," says Ashley Hogrebe, Failing Whistles intern coordinator. "Eventually, he stopped getting invited to parties because no one wanted the crazy guy screaming about Congo around." LOOKING GOOD AND FEELING GOOD Hogrebe says soon after, a friend of Carasso's bought him a gift to keep the children soldiers alive in his heart - a vintage DREW WILE ONE WINE Contributed photo WP + INVISIBLE CHILDREN Contributed photo whistle bought off of eBay. "When he wore the whistle, he didn't have to yell anymore," Hogrebe says. "People would ask him why he was wearing a whistle around his neck, and it gave him a chance to elevate common conversation rather than destroy it." It was then the Falling Whistles campaign was launched and whistles became a protest symbol. Falling Whistles sells necklaces online for anyone to buy to raise awareness about the war in Congo. All proceeds from the whistles go towards the rehabilitation of those affected by war in Congo, according to Hogrebe. Allen Schaidle, a sophomore from Metamora, Ill., has a Falling Whistles necklace and it's not him starting the conversations about the whistle – it's other students. "At first when people notice the whistle, they joke around 10 06 11 8 8 its television rights until the six-year window closes. That sounds good, but what stops a Texas or Oklahoma from leaving in four years, sacrificing two years of television money in exchange for a fat, new deal in, say, the Pac-12 or SEC, and taking a potential spot from a Missouri or Kansas later on? Nothing at all. So please don't pretend Missouri is looking to hightail it out just as everything is getting settled, because at best it's a six-year window of stability and at worst it gives Texas and Oklahoma a few more years to figure out what they want to do. A six-year deal spells stability like Mc Hammer spells financial credit. Missouri not pursuing its options at this point would be irresponsible. Of course, if Missouri ends up leaving for greener pastures it puts Kansas in a tough spot in this realignment game. Emotional tirades from Kansas fans toward its neighbors to the east are understandable, but if the last 16 months taught us anything, it's that it's every school for itself. Edited by Jonathan Shorman off-oull screen, he is practicing his shot for any scenario: fadeaway, free throw, upright jump shot and leaner, left and right. Three-pointers, mid-rangers and layups, he is leaving no shot behind. "Ty is playing the best basketball from a point guard that I've seen." Freshman guard Merv Lindsay said. Lindsay said Taylor's shot has proper lift, meaning that his shot takes a trajectory that maximizes the chance of the ball dropping into the hoop. A line-drive shot is usually more difficult to convert and a rainbow shot can be just as flawed. Taylor works several hours each day to find a happy medium and become consistent and dependable from the perimeter. rather than simply catching and "The real good shooters train themselves to shoot the same way every time," Taylor said. "Even when they've got a "The train the s TYSHAWN TAYLOR Senior guard "The real good shooters train themselves to shoot the same way every time." shooting. "You never know when you're going to get it," Taylor said of attempting a shot off the dribble. However Taylor is the starting point guard in a primarily half-court offense and will likely have the ball in his hands more than any other Jawhawk. So when coach Bill Self wants to get Taylor's shot going, he will likely have junior guard "Tyshawn's been a great leader, has a much better attitude and it's shown on the court," senior guard Conner Teahan said. a finger after fighting with the football team is now a role model and motivator for the younger players. The Morris twins had that role last year and now it belongs to Taylor. Leading a team and knocking down jump shots in the offseason is different than doing the same in the heart of the conference schedule. But his teammates are confident that this will be a different year for Taylor, the scapegoat point guard of the past. "When you have somebody that you can rely on and that people have respect for," Teahan said, "it makes it that much easier."

I find it humorous because their jokes repeatedly lead into a conversation discussing the actually representation behind the whistle," says Schaidle. In 2009, 267 children were fully rehabilitated and were provided with expression therapy - therapy through music, dance, photography and sports - to lift the shadows of war trauma, psychological support, job training and education because of Falling Whistles. Just as Invisible Children and Falling Whistles continue to expand and improve the lives of those affected by war in Africa, TOMS, a shoe company founded in 2005 to put shoes on the feet of those in need, continues to expand as well to help those around the world suffering from poverty in places like Tibet. A Thetan woman's eyesight is fading; she's never seen an eye doctor. She can't see well enough to walk around unfamiliar places. Her vision has been untreated for too many years now, according to TOMS Eyewear Blog. She's too poor to afford eye care and she knows she will never receive the gift of sight. What she doesn't know is that TOMS released its eyewear collection over the summer, One for One. Just like its shoe concept, for every pair of sunglasses sold, TOMS gives someone without the funds, the ability to regain sight. According to the TOMS website, depending on the severity of the recipients eyesight, they will receive medical care, prescription glasses or sight saving surgery. "As someone who has worn contacts and glasses most of my life, I am empathetic to the value of good eye care and the maintenance of correct vision in the ability to live a productive and fulfilled life," says Danielle Brower, a senior from Overland Park. Blake Mycokie, founder and chief shoe giver at TOMS, says the company's currently repairing sight in Tibet, Nepal and Cambodia and it's putting shoes on feet in 23 countries, including China, Argentina and Africa. So far, more than 2 million children in those 23 countries have received a pair of new shoes. While tragedy and poverty sparked the beginning of Invisible Children, Falling Whistles and TOMS, cancer and disorders inspired the beginning of ONEHOPE, a California wine company dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer and disease as well as supporting children's hospitals and American troops. The inspiration to create a wine company for a cause came to Jake Kloberdanz, ONE-HOPE CEO and co-founder, when his friend Morgan Lewis was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at age 23. Lewis took the news the best way any young woman could, according to Tom Leahy, ONEHOPE president and co-founder. Kloberdanz, who at the time was working for Gallo Wine Company, wanted to use of his passion for wine and passion for making a difference. After he received the news about his friend's diagnosis, ONEHOPE was born, according to Leahy. Six months after that, bottles were being corked. from environmental causes to AIDS awareness, and 50 percent of all proceeds are donated while the other 50 percent goes towards the wine's production. For example, by buying its Chardonnay, you help fund breast cancer research and by buying a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, you help fund research for autism, the least known about disorder in the world, according to Brandon Hall, co-founder and chief marketing officer at ONEHOPE. Each wine produced supports everything Kara Lewis, a junior from Liberal, and her family are big one ONEHOPE Wine supporters. "When my cousins first told me about ONEHOPE and all the causes it supports, it made me wonder if the wine was even tasty," says Lewis. "If the company was only about the causes, the wine probably wouldn't be [good], but the people who founded ONEHOPE had been in the wine business before, and it's all delicious." So far, ONEHOPE has raised more than $400,000 for its partner charities, which can be found online at ONEHOPEWine.com. Next time you need to replace your shoes, sunglasses and bags, restock your wine supply, or update your accessories collection, make it count. There are several opportunities to give back, to make a difference, to stand for something bigger then you can imagine. Be the voice for those without.

EMPTY STOMACH Limited time sometimes keeps Michael Stejskal, a sophomore from Burdett, Kan., from eating before a workout, but not without a noticeable different in his performance. Stejskal says when he hits the gym on an empty stomach he has less sustainability. "If I haven't eaten anything, I notice I just can't go as long," Stejskal says. Amber Long, assistant director of fitness for KU recreation services, says it's bad to exercise without eating anything because you won't have the needed energy during your workout. At the same time, heavy, fatty foods and big meals slow you down and should be avoided, Long says. So what pre-workout foods provide the delicate balance of substance without being heavy? Long says bananas, peanut butter sandwiches, nuts, fruit and granola bars are all good foods to eat before a work out. The meal after a strenuous workout is also important to consider. Long says it's ideal to eat within 30 minutes after exercising. "Eat something high in protein and carbohydrates to repair any muscle damage done during the workout," Long says. For post-workout foods Long suggests dairy products or a full meal. Before hitting the gym, Stejskal follows these food guidelines. "I try to eat something light, like a protein bar or some chocolate milk," Stejskal savs. VERDICT: It's bad to exercise on an empty stomach. Instead, try eating something light and nutritious.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS // VITAMINS You're sick for the fifth time this semester, but you reassure your mother that is has absolutely nothing to do with the lack of sleep you're getting, the amount of alcohol you've consumed or the nutrition-less food you've eaten. She suggests a multivitamin. It might "boost your energy or immune system," she tells you. Besides, buying a $10 bottle of vitamins allows you to keep consuming alcohol, depriving yourself of sleep and eating like hell because the supplement will make up for what you've been lacking. The difficulty is decoding the different vitamins within a multivitamin. Kevin Connolly, a nutrition and diet writer, says it's impossible to rank the importance of vitamins—they are all equally important. "Essential vitamins in humans are the B complex vitamins and vitamins A, C, E and K." Connolly says. Multivitamins will do the trick, but to maximize the benefits, consider going with a completely natural supplement like Heather Barney, a senior from Flower Mound, Tex., does. Barney takes a vitamin made out of 12 different dehydrated fruits and vegetables. She takes two fruit and two vegetable capsules per day. "There is nothing 'fake' about them," Barney says. These nature-made capsules have made Barney healthier and provided her with more energy.

The Morris twins had that role last year and now it belongs to Taylor. "Tyshawn's been a great leader, has a much better attitude and it's shown on the court," senior guard Conner Teahan said. Leading a team and knocking down jump shots in the offseason is different than doing the same in the heart of the conference schedule. But his teammates are confident that this will be a different year for Taylor, the scapegoat point guard of the past. "When you have somebody that you can rely on and that people have respect for," Teahan said, "it makes it that much easier."

He trails HEALTH + BITTERSWEET HAVING DIABETES AS A COLLEGE STUDENT Photo by Chris Neal WEET S A COLLEGE STUDENT GRACE AND DESTROY BD | BRE ROACH | "When I later asked my mother why I got diabetes, she told me it was in my genes. My two-year-old self responded, 'Why do you make me wear these jeans? I don't want to wear those jeans anymore,'" Amy Cumbow, a junior from Boca Raton, Fla., says. Cumbow found out she was suffering from diabetes when she was two. She inherited it from both her mother and father's sides. Some families relate through an outing to the movie theater or maybe by sitting down and eating a meal together, but more and more families are sharing similarities through something more serious than popcorn and green bean casserole. Some families are alike through illnesses that have been passed down genetically. The breakdown of diabetes and the different kinds goes like this: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are similar in that they both contain hereditary links. However, Type 1 diabetes is thought to be an autoimmune process that destroys the insulin producing cells in your Pancreas, according to registered nurse and diabetic educator, Catherine Parkhurst. Type 2 diabetes includes a lifestyle link meaning it can increase with age, high blood pressure, inactive lifestyle, and obesity. "Blood sugar goals and healthy lifestyle choices are a component of management in both types of diabetes," Parkhurst says. A DAY IN THE LIFE Parkhurst says that monitoring your blood sugar can require up to 8 to 10 insulin injections daily. Type 1 diabetes requires insulin through a pump or injections, and Type 2 diabetes may need oral medications, injections or just diet and exercise to maintain blood sugar. Parkhurst notes that "the biggest risk, day to day, is preventing severe high or low blood sugar that not only will make someone with diabetes feel lousy, but can affect your ability to function normally. "I usually drink diet sodas and try to avoid eating cake, but if I do decide to have them, I make sure I take insulin," says Alex Dimas, a senior from Overland Park. Of the 2.3 million freshmen that enrolled for college this fall, 7,700 suffer from Type 1 diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. It can affect their diets. It can force them to inject themselves with insulin every few hours. It can potentially take them out of school. Cumbow had to withdraw from the University her second semester of her sophomore year because of diabetes. She had been diagnosed with Neuropathy and had to fly back home to Florida to meet with doctors and have her parents look after her. Neuropathy is damage to a single nerve or group of nerves that can eventually lead to complete loss of movement. In Cumbow's case it was in her feet. It was brought on by her diabetes. "It wasn't until my feet swelled at a sorority retreat, stayed swollen and were excruciatingly painful that I allowed myself to stop," Cumbow says. Even after flying home and being put in the hospital, her feet were still swollen and painful. "I can't even begin to describe the pain. The only thing that relieved it was to sit in the hospital bathtub for six hours a day," says Cumbow. "I couldn't even have a sheet graze them without it feeling like my feet were being stabbed by needles." While Cumbow was in a Florida hospital, her life fell apart. "I lost my college life, my school, my semester, my sorority and my friends," Cumbow says. Cumbow went through physical therapy to relearn how to walk, and after that time, Cumbow slowly got her life back on track. Cumbow's feet are still sensitive, but she is happy and back at KU. Having the disease themselves isn't the only thing these college students worry about. What about their kids? They may pass it off to them and have to watch them experience what they went through. But Dimas isn't concerned that his kids may get Type 1 diabetes. "Type 1 diabetes usually skips generations, so I'm not worried that my kids might have it, but there is a risk that my grandchildren might have it," he says. His grandfather has Type 1 diabetes, and none of his children have it, but Dimas, his grandchild, does. Having a disease that you had little or nothing to do with is hard to grasp, but these students are accustomed to the changes and restrictions. "I have learned to take diabetes day by day, hour by hour," Cumbow says. 11 10 06 11 Edited by Jason Bennett Kirchhoff said many of the images from Spencer Museum of Art and Spencer Research Library can be found on Luna Insight, an online collection database found on the University's library website.

It's the night before a big test that you haven't even begun to study for. With your six pack of energy drinks at the ready, you finally decide to dive into chapters of your book you haven't read and skim through lecture notes on topics you vaguely remember the teacher talking about. The all night cramming session has begun. Luke Bowers, a junior from Marion, Kan., knows this scene well. Bowers says he sometimes feels overconfident when a test is approaching, so he puts off studying until the night before. He then tries to cram as much knowledge into his head before trying to get a few hours of sleep. He says he generally gets Bs on his exams, but the cramming sometimes throws a C or D his way too. But, are you really going to remember all that information being crammed into your brain in one night though? Chances are you won't remember much. Pulling all-nighters for your exams probably won't get you the grade you want on a test, because you not developing the mental cues needed for your brain to access the information properly. Don't worry though, there's an easy fix for this. Instead of cramming for your exams spread out your studying throughout the week, says Andrea Greenhoot, a cognitive psychology professor and expert of memory at KU. "If you are learning the material across a week in three hour chunks, then in between those periods something else might remind you of what you learned," Greenhoot says. So, before your next test comes around, try setting aside some study time in advance.

THE CLEMENTINES thegranada DOING WITHOUT // WEARING BLUE JEANS >Absence makes the heart grow...? Fall is my favorite season, changing leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and the perfect combination of comfy blue jeans and hoodies. What if I didn't have my favorite pants to rely on? I have a slight addiction when it comes to jeans; and, because they go with almost everything. I rarely wear anything else. My other options: corduroys, shorts, sweatpants, and dress pants. I decided to go with the corduroys first, I had forgotten I had them, and how much I liked them. The second day I had to work after class so I wore my dress pants. I was dressed nicer, but I felt like I stuck out, next to my classmates who were wearing casual outfits. As the week went on and I ran out of options I had to wear sweatpants. Unless I'm sick I hate wearing sweatpants to class. I just feel sloppy when I do. It's easy to fall into the rut of just wearing jeans and a sweater every day, but Kansas City-based wardrobe stylist Jessie Artigue says one of fall's big trends, the trouser, are an easy switch to change up your style. "I'm seeing a lot of cropped length trousers with a narrow leg, it's easy to take an outfit you would wear with jeans and wear trousers instead," she says. Going without my jeans, pushed me to put thought into my outfits, and while I may not be able to get rid of my jeans completely, on my next shopping trip I will definitely aim for variety- and a pair of trousers.

GET SOME CULTURE // KNITTING CLASSES With cooler weather on its way why spend $20 on a knitted beanie in a store when you could make your own for a fraction of the cost? Knitting isn't just for your grandma anymore, there's an endless variety of colors and patterns to fit your style. If you don't know how to knit, the Yarn Barn is here to help. The Yarn Barn has everything you need to get started, supplies, how-to books, and most importantly, classes." We offer a variety of classes based on skill level, and even have short, one day classes so that even if you don't have a lot of time, you can still learn the foundations to get you started," says Wendy Kim-Luellen, class coordinator at the Yarn Barn. "For me the best part is seeing the reactions of the students, who come back to work on other things and are inspired by the projects they made," she says. It can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's really enjoyable says Bree Fausnaught, a sophomore from Wilmington NC., who has been knitting for about a year. "It's nice to be able to know you can make something that someone would actually use, and cool to see them wearing it." So next time you reach for that expensive sweater at a department store, consider learning how to make your own. For more information, or to sign up for a class visit: yarnbarn-ks.com, or stop by the store, located at 930 Massachusetts Street.

That sounds good, but what stops a Texas or Oklahoma from leaving in four years, sacrificing two years of television money in exchange for a fat, new deal in, say, the Pac-12 or SEC, and taking a potential spot from a Missouri or Kansas later on? Nothing at all. So please don't pretend Missouri is looking to hightail it out just as everything is getting settled, because at best it's a six-year window of stability and at worst it gives Texas and Oklahoma a few more years to figure out what they want to do. A six-year deal spells stability like MC Hammer spells financial guru. Missouri not pursuing its options at this point would be irresponsible. Of course, if Missouri ends up leaving for greener pastures it puts Kansas in a tough spot in this realignment game. Emotional tirades from Kansas fans toward its neighbors to the east are understandable, but if the last 16 months taught us anything, it's that it's every school for itself. his shot for any scenario: fadeaway, free throw, upright jump shot and leaner, left and right. Three-pointers, mid-rangers and layups, he is leaving no shot behind. Edited by Jonathan Shorman Lindsay said Taylor's shot has proper lift, meaning that his shot takes a trajectory that maximizes the chance of the ball dropping into the hoop. A line-drive shot is usually more difficult to convert and a rainbow shot can be just as flawed. Taylor works several hours each day to find a happy medium and become consistent and dependable from the perimeter. "Ty is playing the best basketball from a point guard that I've seen." Freshman guard Merv Lindsay said. "The real good shooters train themselves to shoot the same way every time." Taylor said.

He trails MANUAL TOUCHDOWN: Hand How To Plan the Perfect Tailgate KATIE JAMES Contributed photo Contributed photo Food and friends: Pre-game snacks and drinks are gameday staple. Football and tailgating go together like peanut butter and jelly; it's tradition. Want to plan a killer pre-game party and don't know what to do? Follow the advice of these experienced hosts to get your bash off on the right foot. Why do so many students, alumni, and visitors tailgate before games? A tailgate is a good way to build up team spirit before the game starts, "My roommates and I host because we live really close to the stadium, and we like to get all our friends together to drink, play some games, and enjoy each other's company before we go to the game," says Pat Carter, a senior from Lenexa, who hosts a tailgate every home game with his roommates. Whether your gathering is going to be big or small, planning is a key to keep everything running smoothly. "We have weekly meetings to discuss what we want to accomplish, and then on game day we start setting up three hours before the game starts," says Dakota Strange, head of the spirit committee for SUA, which coordinates the Hawks Nest tailgates. Hawks Nest tailgates run two hours before kick-off and are open to members. They feature things like free food and reserved seating at the games. "We want to make sure we have enough food, and enough spirit items for all the students who want to come," he says. Besides having food, there are other essential elements to keep in mind such as guests and a welcoming environment says Stefani Gerson, coordinator of student programs at the KU Alumni Association, who coordinates the Home Football Friday tailgates at the Alumni Center. "If it's not welcoming, then it's just an empty lawn. You want people to come, and to be sure that they aren't waiting on the buffet line to be refilled," she says. Home Football Friday tailgates are from 11 to 1 p.m. and include free food and games for all students. Music or a TV to keep track of other football games can also help draw people in. Tailgates are a good way to bring people together, bond them over a common interest. Jette Higgins, a senior from Hutchinson, encourages those who have never been to a tailgate to check one out, "Even if you don't drink you can still go and socialize, and a lot of them have great food. It gets you excited for the game rather than just sitting around waiting for the game to start," she says. Cheering for a team brings a sense of camaraderie to those around you. "College football is a great thing, and you only have so many opportunities to experience it, so go with an open mind and enjoy yourself," says Strange. Yard games to get the party started: Washers: Involves two teams of two players that take turns tossing washers towards the washer box. In order to score, one must place a washer into the box, into the can that is in the box, or within one foot of the box. Beanbag toss: Can be played as either doubles or singles. In doubles play, four players split into two teams. One member from each team pitches beanbags from one platform and the other members pitch from the other. The first side of players alternate pitching bags until both players have thrown all four of their bags, then the players pitching from the opposing board continue. Ladder ball: Played by throwing bolas (two balls connected by a string) onto a ladder. Each ladder has three rungs, each rung scoring a different point value. One common method of scoring is to have the rungs be one, two and three points. The bolas suspended on the ladder score the points for that rung, often with the goal of getting at least 21 points to win. Beer frisbee: The first team tosses the frisbee, aiming it towards a glass bottle that is placed on top of the stake opposite them. After scoring, the other team throws the Frisbee at the first team's bottle, trying to score points. Play continues until one player/team has reached the set amount of points (typically 21). One team must beat their opponent by at least two points. 13 1. 直接法 2. 间接法 A request form must be filled out to reproduce images for display or publishing, but copyright restrictions are not normally a problem with images of campus, said Tara Wenger, head of reader services at Spencer Research Library.

Emotional tirades from Kansas fans toward its neighbors to the east are understandable, but if the last 16 months taught us anything, it's that it's every school for itself. his shot for any scenario: fade away, free throw, upright jump shot and leaner, left and right. Three-pointers, mid-rangers and layups, he is leaving no shot behind. Edited by Jonathan Shorman Lindsay said Taylor's shot has proper lift, meaning that his shot takes a trajectory that maximizes the chance of the ball dropping into the hoop. A line-drive shot is usually more difficult to convert and a rainbow shot can be just as flawed. Taylor works several hours each day to find a happy medium and become consistent and dependable from the perimeter. "Ty is playing the best basketball from a point guard that I've seen."

"You never know when you're going to get it," Taylor said of attempting a shot off the dribble. However Taylor is the starting point guard in a primarily half-court offense and will likely have the ball in his hands more than any other jayhawk. So when coach Bill Self wants to get Taylor's shot going, he will likely have junior guard "Tyshawn's been a great leader, has a much better attitude and it's shown on the court," senior guard Conner Teahan said. a finger after fighting with the football team is now a role model and motivator for the younger players. The Morris twins had that role last year and now it belongs to Taylor. Leading a team and knocking down jump shots in the offseason is different than doing the same in the heart of the conference schedule. But his teammates are confident that this will be a different year for Taylor, the scapegoat point guard of the past. "When you have somebody that you can rely on and that people have respect for," Teahan said, "it makes it that much easier." 32 Edited by Ben Chipman KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor is fouled in the final minute of last season's game against Illinois.

MOVIE REVIEW// THE LION KING 3-D > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between Recently, almost every movie that comes out is available in 3-D. But this time, it's different. First appearing to the public in 1994, "The Lion King" is back and taking charge. Storywise, most of the audience already knew what was going to happen. Simba (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Matthew Broderick) is the prince of the pride and adores his father Mufasa (James Earl Jones). His happiness is soon shattered when his evil uncle, Scar (Jeremy Irons), tricks Mufasa and murders him. Simba, striken with grief, runs away from the kingdom and befriends Timon (Nathon Lane) and Pumba (Ernie Sabella) who help him in his journey of finding out who he is. It's a coming-of-age story that is visually appealing and features music by Elton John and Tim Rice. It's mostly the nostalgia that lures you in. It takes you back to the days of begging your parents to rewind your VHS copy so you could watch it over and over again, skipping through the scary death scene, of course. SAVANNAH ABBOTT Some people think 3-D movie is a waste of time and just another tool to swindle you out of your money. For "The Lion King 3-D,"it's simply a way for college kids to relieve their childhood all over again. 3D THE LIONKING 3D APPEARANCE IN THEATRES ON FRIEDAY Contributed Photo GET YOUR ZOMBIE FACE READY PARTY AMERICA HALLOWEEN COSTUMES.

That sounds good, but what stops a Texas or Oklahoma from leaving in four years, sacrificing two years of television money in exchange for a fat, new deal in, say, the Pac-12 or SEC, and taking a potential spot from a Missouri or Kansas later on? Nothing at all. So please don't pretend Missouri is looking to hightail it out just as everything is getting settled, because at best it's a six-year window of stability and at worst it gives Texas and Oklahoma a few more years to figure out what they want to do. A six-year deal spells stability like MC Hammer spells financial guru. Missouri not pursuing its options at this point would be irresponsible. Of course, if Missouri ends up leaving for greener pastures it puts Kansas in a tough spot in this realignment game.

He trails Tanner Sprerer, a Kansas graduate from Wamego. Both were participants in the fifth annual zombie walk along Massachusetts St. downtown. Zombies started walking at 7 p.m. at the gazebo in South Park at 1141 Massachusetts, and then walked north to 6th Street and back. Participants had the option of donating to the Lawrence Humane Society, which raised about $800. "People were pretty into it, there were a lot of people who just wanted to watch the zombies," Sara Logan, a senior from Lansing, said. Logan works at Three Spoons downtown and said that the event boosted business. Other businesses downtown also saw the benefits of the walk, not only from participants but from viewers who came just to watch. "I think it's more fun to watch than to dress up," Bridget Lamb, a senior from Exton, Pa., said. "It's definitely a very Lawrence thing."

In an official statement, the Big 12 Board of Directors unanimously authorized interim commissioner Chuck Neinas to begin negotiations with Texas Christian University to become the conference's newest member. "The action of the Board was without dissent. On the advice of legal counsel, the University of Missouri did not participate in the vote," conference officials said in the statement. According to a report by CBS Sports, TCU will accept the Big 12's invitation and join the conference in 2012. The report goes on to state that the Big 12 presidents have formally agreed to grant the rights on Tier I and II television revenues for the next six years. "These discussions with the Big 12 have huge implications for TCU. It will allow us to return to old rivalries, something our fans and others have been advocating for many years," TCU Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. said in a statement Thursday. The TCU Board of Trustees met Thursday to discuss prospects of joining the Big 12 according to ESP-PDNallas.com. With the ratification of the television grants, the Big 12 is guaranteed long-term stability regardless of the course of action Missouri takes in the coming days. TCU was initially due to join the Big East in 2012, but the conference has encountered a significant amount of instability following the departures of Pittsburgh and Syracuse for the Atlantic Coast Conference. According to The New York Times, despite never playing a game in the Big East, TCU will have to pay the $5 million exit fee, but the University is not bound TCU HORNED FROGS to the 27-month waiting period like Pittsburgh and Syracuse. near future. The Tulsa World reported that Big 12 officials are awaiting Missouri's decision, but all indications are that Neinas has proactively preached about the Big 12's need for expansion, so TCU is not expected to be the conference's only addition in the the University of Louisville will be Neinas' next target. However, Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino is strongly against the current trend of realignment. "It's one of the most disappointing things I've seen in 35 years in the game to see this thing break up like this," Pitino said to The New York Times following the TCU developments. "We've stayed loyal to it all along. We've stayed loyal, and by staying loyal we are not sure what's going to happen to us." Louisville would bring along a strong athletic identity and an entirely new television market for the Big 12. Whether the Big 12 looks to get back to its original 12-team membership remains to be seen, but Brigham Young University, West Virginia, Cincinnati and Tulane have also been mentioned amongst possible expansion options. "As always, we must consider what's best for TCU and our student-athletes in this ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics. We look forward to continuing these discussions with the Big 12," Boschini said. Following the Big 12's invitation to TCU, Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray Little released the following statement; "The Big 12 board's approval of equal revenue sharing and the granting of television rights to the conference demonstrate a commitment to the Big 12 by its member universities. This is an outcome KU has sought throughout this process, and it is one that I've been seeking as a member of the conference's stability working group." The chancellor also said that adding TCU to the conference would benefit Kansas because the University recruits students and has a large alumni base in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Gray-Little said the University is looking forward to facing the Horned Frogs next year. — Edited by Jennifer DiDonato UNIVERSITY Photos capture campus history SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com POTTER LAKE are through the length of this flowing valley CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN The Spencer Museum of Art is hosting a KU campus heritage exhibit now through December.

The Congregation of Holy Cross committed Thursday to issuing an apology and providing financial compensation for abuses committed at three different institutions between 1950 and 2001. The assaults occurred over that period at College Notre-Dame in Montreal, and over shorter periods at two other institutions. SANTIAGO. CHILE The announcement comes after a mediation process launched last December by the congregation and by victims' representatives, who had been preparing a class-action lawsuit. Chilean police used water cannons and tear gas to break up a student march for free public education on Thursday, hours after protesters' talks with the government collapsed. A deployment of riot police surrounded students in the Plaza Italia, Santiago's traditional gathering place, where student leader Camila Vallejo tried to lead the march while holding a sign saying "United and Stronger," only to be pummed by water cannons and forced to retreat by tear gas. TUNIS, TUNISIA Protesters hurled rocks at police and set blockades ablaze in the streets as officers on horseback chased students onto nearby campuses. Vallejo said officers shot tear gas into their student government offices in "a direct attack against our organization." Moncef Ben Abdeljellil of Sousse University's school of humanities said that four people entered the school Thursday, threatening to cut his throat. A Tunisian university dean says a group of people armed with swords and knives entered his school and threatened staff after they refused to enroll students wearing Islamic face veils. Abdeljejil said that after an initial panic, students and professors persuaded the four to leave peacefully. Abdelejilil said the incident occurred after he refused enrollment to two students wearing the niqab, an Islamic face veil covering all but the eyes. He said he respects students' religious convictions but that the veil goes against the "civic rules" of the university. Russia said a U.S. plan to base naval missile interceptors on Spain's coast is "unacceptable," reiterating its worries over the expansion of NATO's anti-ballistic defense system. MOSCOW Russia's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that a deal between Washington and Madrid to base Aegis Cruisers northwest of Gibraltar "can't but cause concern." It said the warships' deployment brings about a "significant build-up of U.S. anti-missile capabilities in Europe." Russia has long criticized U.S. plans for a system that would protect all of NATO's 28 member states against a potential missile attack from Iran. Moscow says the plans threaten its own nuclear missiles or undermine their deterrence capability. CRIME Author scammed women for millions An author of legal thrillers and science fiction was accused Thursday of meeting women through an online Jewish dating service and bilking them out of millions of dollars. Mitchell Gross duped at least two women into investing about $4.4 million in a sham company he set up, using some of the money to buy expensive artwork, a luxury car and a golf club membership, federal prosecutors said. He faces wire fraud and money laundering charges. Gross, a 61-year-old who writes under the pen name Mitchell Graham, pleaded not guilty. He has authored half a dozen books, but told a judge he only has a couple of thousand dollars. He began a romantic relationship with a woman identified in court documents as "R.J." They met on a site around June 2006 and told her he made a lot of money by investing with a broker named "Michael Johnson" who was employed by "The Merrill Company," the records show. "R.J." called the broker to talk over the investments, but it was actually Gross speaking in a disguised voice on the other line, prosecutors said. "R.J." wired close to $3 million to an account she believed belonged to the company, but actually did not exist, prosecutors said. Gross concealed the scheme by sending her phony tax forms and account statements. Investigators said they discovered he was using the funds to repay an ex-girlfriend who was duped into investing $1.4 million prosecutors said.

Coming 10/17 HEALTH Adderall shortage still affects stores Those suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have trouble finding a pharmacy that has Adderall XR, a drug that relieves ADHD symptoms, in stock. Local pharmacies are still feeling the effects of a shortage that began in 2010. Local stores Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, CVS and Dillons are all out of the prescription —Chance Penner "Manufacturers can request additional quota at any time during the year. DEA will review their request and provide additional quota, if warranted." According to Addall's manufacturer, Shire, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) restricted Addeall's production because of its active ingredient, which is considered an amphetamine. "Manufacturers have a sufficient amphetamine quota to provide an uninterrupted supply of products," a spokesperson for the DEA said in a statement. drug. However, Adderall XR can still be found at local stores Target, Hy-Vee and Watkins Medical Health Center. Neither Shire nor the DEA are claiming responsibility for the lack of medication, and despite the shortage, Shire has nearly doubled its revenue from Aderall XR because of the price increase and demand for the product.

METRONOMIC EDUCATION Media and military in joint operation CORINNE WESTEMAN cwesteman@kansan.com A wide, sandy field stretches back in the darkness, edged by trees. It's filled with barbed wire, trucks, fences and ladders. Fires light the way in the dark expanse of sand and metal. Music is playing over the loud speakers. The soldiers, who are almost finished with their basic training, take their positions at one end of the field. They know their objective, and they must complete it - the night infiltration course. PETER WILSON 5 TRIGGER 2 COCKED Over their heads, gunners fire live rounds to intimidate them and simulate a real battle scene. Mortars and explosives go off, lighting up the field for an instant. Rocket flares shoot up into the sky, giving the grounds an orange glow. With a loud battle cry, the soldiers begin advancing across the field. They crawl under the wires, and carefully protect their weapons from the sand. After they make it past the guns, the soldiers wait behind a line of old railroad ties. The soldiers who finished first yell encouraging words to the rest of their comrades, who are still crawling under the barbed wires. Once everyone assembles, the drill sergeants count heads to make sure no one is missing. The soldiers wait patiently along the line. They are ready for the next mission --the U.S. media (and other media, too) need to have a good relationship with the military to cover the wars effectively. Last week, I got the opportunity to participate in the fourth "Bridging the Gap: Media & the Military Workshop," which was hosted by the School of Journalism. I was one of 17 journalists who participated, which gave us the chance to glimpse military life at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The workshop's purpose is to help the media and the military form a better understanding and relationship with one another. With many U.S. soldiers fighting overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, "MilJo," which is an affectionate abbreviation for our "Military-Journalist Experience," was an unforgettable event. We got a night tour of Fort Leavenworth, met students at the Command and General Staff College located there, and talked to Lt. Gen. William Caldwell and Maj. Gen. Gary Patton via conference call. Patton, who became a two-star general in January, received a master's in journalism from the University of Kansas in 1990. While we were at Fort Leonard Wood, we got to drive in simulators, hold an anti-tank weapon (don't worry, it wasn't loaded), and do physical training with newly-recruited soldiers. We went out to the course around sunset and got a briefing from the overseeing sergeants. They told us that soldiers from Foxtrot Company were in their final week of basic training. The NIC was the culmination of all their training, or their "final exam," so to speak. Once it was completely dark, the sergeants turned the lights on so we could see the obstacle course. Then, they walked us through it. We climbed up a 6-foot ladder to see a field laced with barbed wire and controlled fire pits. Some of us took the initiative to crawl under the barbed wire, as we knew the soldiers would be doing just a few minutes later. I spent the week with 16 amazing journalists, and I learned as much from them as I did from the military personnel. Once the platoons were through the obstacle course and were assembled along the line of railroad ties, the drill sergeants gave us permission to get closer and shoot pictures. I felt awkward flashing the camera lights in their faces, but they maintained their focus and their emotion. But, I would have to say the highlight of the trip was the night infiltration course, or NIC, last Wednesday night. After the final assault, they lined CORINNE WESTFMAN/KANSAN up and prepared to go back to the barracks. We had a few minutes to interview some of them. I got to talk to Pvt. Edwin Vasquez, leader of Squar Two, who was overflowing with emotion and adrenaline. He said it had been difficult to crawl through the obstacle course in all of his gear. But, despite that, he said hed love to do it again. Something that really struck me was when he described how he was chosen to be a squad leader. "It's great to getting to lead these guys," Vasquez said, referring to his squad. "It's really inspired me to be a leader, no matter what the situation is. And now that we've overcome this obstacle, we are ready to move forward." Red Lyon Tavern Other members of his squad smiled or gave a "Hooah" in agreement. And, I couldn't help but yell "Hooah" in support of all their accomplishments on the course.

That changed in 2009 when the head of a bank in Eutin began encouraging other local business owners to begin accepting interns as well. Nine students interned in Eutin during the summer of 2011. Morrison believes that there is a natural growth that is taking place with the internship relations. He is optimistic that more majors will become involved as word of mouth spreads through the University about the internship opportunities for students in Eutin. The Lawrence Sister City Advisory Board hosted a benefit dinner for the Official Hiratsuka Delegation on the 20-year anniversary of the Lawrence-Hiratsuka sister-city formation at the Lawrence Country Club Wednesday evening. Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell, along with other city officials, met with Hiratsuka Mayor Katsuhiro Ochiai and his committee at the event.

Edited by Jennifer DiDonato Jobs remembered through products Steve Jobs was a rare example of a billionaire executive whose legacy somehow managed to touch so many people across the world on a deeply personal level. He invented devices that changed the way the world communicates. He inspired people to think big, to take chances and pursue their dreams when everyone tells them it cannot be done. He created entire professions and livelihoods for people who suddenly had opportunities to work in technology. As Jobs admirers flocked to Apple headquarters and his Silicon Valley home in the hours after his death, the signs of his influence could be seen everywhere. —Associated Press The Bottleneck 737 New Hamshire St * Lawrence K* Friday, October 7th Cornmeal W: Dirtified / Ion Gamache Wednesday, October 12th That 1 Guy w/POGO Sunday, October 9th Portugal.

Associated Press TELEVISION Some folks say "silence is golden." Then why do they say it? "The Simpsons," Fox debate salary ASSOCIATED PRESS However, it is not as if Murdoch takes that big pile of money and puts it under his pillow every night like he's Homer's boss C. Montgomery Burns. After everyone involved in the show, including the folks lucky enough to be profit participants in "The Simpsons," gets his or her cut, the bulk of the leftover dough gets pumped back into the company. A salary dispute between the actors who provide voices for "The Simpsons" and 20th Century Fox Television, the studio that produces the hit cartoon for its sister Fox network, has shone a light on just how much News Corp., parent of both the studio and network, has made from the show. No doubt Bart, Homer, Marge and the rest of the Springfield gang have been a cash cow for Rupert Murdoch's media empire. Between reruns, DVDs and the slew of merchandise that has come out over the more than two decades that "The Simpsons" has been on the air, the show has generated more than $1 billion in profits. There it is used to sign writers and producers to make other shows, most of which will fail. That $15 million that was spent by 20th Century Fox Television to make the pilot for "Terra Nova?" "The Simpsons" helped pay for that. The actors' contributions to the show's success should not be minimized, and they too have earned millions off of the success of "The Simpsons" The main voices on "The Simpsons" —Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardle Smith (Lisa), Hank Azaria (Moe the bartender, Chief Wiggum and Apu) and Harry Shearer (Mr. Burns) — make about $440,000 per episode, according to a person authorized to speak public on Nick Sambaluk The reason the studio is trying to cut the show's costs is because over the years "The Simpsons" has become a lot more expensive to produce. The longer a show is on the air, the bigger the salaries get for all involved. That's how it should be. With ratings success comes financial rewards. For the Fox network, though, "The Simpsons" has entered into the loss leader category. Its audience has shrunk by almost 20 percent over the last five years, and at more than $5 million per episode the network no longer makes money on it, people familiar with the matter said. That's why Fox is pressuring the studio to lower the license fee and the studio in turn wants the creative team to take a pay cut. the matter. They also typically get paid for any use of their voices in "Simpsons"-related merchandise or commercials. The studio wants to cut that by 45 percent, to roughly $240,000 per episode. Producers and others involved in the show also have been asked to take reductions in pay. Interestingly, the studio and parent company News Corp. also know that even if new episodes of "The Simpsons" end, that doesn't mean the money train will stop running. In fact, it could get bigger. That's because once the show goes off the air, the syndication unit of News Corp. will be able to cut new rerun deals for "The Simpsons" and find other ways to monetize the show, including starting a cable channel devoted to the antics of Bart. David Bank, a managing director at RBC Capital Markets estimated that News Corp. could generate as much as $750 million in new rerun deals. The studio has set a deadline of Friday afternoon for the actors to agree to the terms.

EDITORIAL Use fall break to alleviate stress, problems Academically, fall break signals the halfway point of the semester. But everyone can use a breather during the four-day weekend after four weeks of full classes. Students should take this time to relax. Many are going back home to spend time with family and loved ones. Other students are driving or flying out of state to vacation in hot spots with friends. And yet many students are simply staying in their dorms and apartments. Either way, the key goal of this short vacation should be to tear down the stress each of us accumulate throughout the semester. This stress isn't just a product of academics; many factors including a change from family life, the pressure of building social and romantic relationships and the attrition of everyday college routines cause significant emotional stress. So while you're washing away the stress of student life in whichever way works for you, make sure you're taking all the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your possessions. Nationally, first-year students' positive perception of their own emotional health dropped from 63.6 percent in 1985 to 51.9 percent in 2010 according to a national survey and report conducted by UCLA's Graduate School of Education & Information Studies. In a press release from UCLA, the lead author and director of the report John Pryor said, "If students are arriving in college already overwhelmed and with lower reserves of emotional health, faculty, deans and administrators should expect to see more consequences of stress, such as higher levels of poor judgment around time management, alcohol consumption and academic motivation." The number of criminal reports goes down during fall break because of the significantly smaller University population, but it's still important to lock all your valuables if you're leaving for an extended period of time. Tell trusted friends about your trip, so if anything happens to either you or your possessions, they can help out. For those who are staying in Lawrence, be good neighbors and keep a lookout for suspicious activity. Relax, enjoy your break, and be safe. — Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER?

MILLER "What'll you have?" Baker asks each customer. "You can't have just one." Baker began working for KU Dining Services after making a connection through his Lied Center volunteer work, Ron Wroczynski, manager of Grab & Go and Hawk Food Stops, created both the hot dog cart and the omelet stations around campus and was looking for part-time help because of rising popularity. Baker, a retired CPA, jumped at the chance when he learned of the opportunity. "Well, I just think it's a lot of fun." Baker said. "I went to school for 10 years, so I just love it. If I could have my lifestyle and live the way I do now, I go back to school in a heartbeat." It's clear that Baker loves campus life and the feeling is mutual. Students line up during the rush hour from noon to 1 p.m., but Baker is quick and moves customers through just as fast. The cart's popularity is ever increasing and Baker thinks it's because of a few basic elements. "I think it's the price and the good product," Baker said. "It's a good nutrition value for the price." The hot dog cart offers each item it sells; drinks, chips and hot dogs; for $1 each. Bundling three items can also be a deal for only $2.75, but customers aren't the only ones eating up the bargain lunches on Wesco Beach. Baker said he eats a hot dog on days he works for both his breakfast and lunch. And how does he like it? "Just mustard," Baker said. "All I have is mustard."

The families under investigation live in Bergholz, a small community located in hilly farm country 10 miles west of the Ohio River, and run a leather shop and do carpentry work, the sheriff said. In the case in Trumbull County, 75 miles northwest of Steubenville, a 57-year-old woman blamed her sons and a son-in-law for an attack on her husband and said they were involved in a cult. The sons and son-in-law "did that to him," the woman told deputies, pointing at her husband's ragged, short beard. Cutting the hair and beards apparently was meant to be degrading and insulting, he said. Then she took off a bandana and showed bare scalp patches and said, "They did this to me," according to a report on the Sept. 6 incident in Mesopotamia. 1 Associated Press THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2011 PAGE 7 COMMENTARY A rivalry worth keeping By Matt Galloway mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway or rainfall in October 2009. I was a rainy, windy day, but I was looking forward to getting a taste of what being a lavash really meant. can still remember my first official visit to the University of Kansas in October 2009. It What I got instead was a series of backwards-walking, fast-talking student ambassadors, trying to impress parents with their carefully rehearsed lines about Kansas myths and traditions. Interestingly enough, as we walked past Memorial Stadium, the ambassadors failed to mention the most interesting and compelling Jayhawk tradition of all: the Border War games against Missouri. Truth be told, watching some of the captivating Border War games (now politically correct-titled to the "Border Showdown") is what sold me on Kansas in the first place. I could feel the legitimate hatred and passion emitted from the 70,000 people of questionable sobriety as they congregated at Arrowhead Stadium. Now, conference realignment, television contracts and Longhorn envy all threaten to bring an end to one of college football's most storied rivalries. The first football game between the two schools was played in 1891, back when the forgettable Benjamin Harrison was president, Carnegie Hall in New York held its first public performance and James Naismith invented basketball at the age of 30. The Jayhawks would defeat the Tigers 22-10 in Kansas City, Mo., but the series would remain tight through its next 118 contests. Missouri holds the overall lead in the series, 56-54-9, although fans still dispute the forfeited Kansas win in 1960 to this day. The 2007 shootout took the series to another level when No.4 Missouri defeated previously-undefeated No.2 Kansas,36-28. It was an unforgettable experience for the 80,537 in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium that evening, although most Kansas fans have probably spent the last few years trying to forget it. The 2008 contest helped to heal wounds from the previous year, when quarterback Todd Reesing engineered a spectacular, last-second upset of the No.13 Tigers, 40-37. But with the Tigers now openly exploring other conference options like the SEC, one of sports' greatest and most competitive rivalries is in jeopardy. Make no mistake, this is not akin to Texas A&M's departure earlier this year. Texas A&M is, has been and always will be the University of Texas' redheaded stepchild. No, this is more like Pittsburgh's recent move to the ACC, which put in question the future of their Backyard Brawl series with West Virginia. That series has been played since 1895, but even it cannot boast the competitiveness of the Border War. Yes, Kansas and Missouri could still manually schedule each other in non-conference games each season if the Tigers make the jump. If Bill Self isn't willing to schedule Missouri, how can one expect a football team, which plays much fewer games, to make it work? Missouri already plays out-of-conference rival Illinois in St. Louis each season, so unless they jump to the Big Ten, the Tigers will need to make room for Kansas each year. It's hard to blame Missouri for wanting to ditch the Big 12, even though they were one of the instigators of much of last year's conference realignment madness. The Big 12 is unstable, and other conferences will offer more money in the short-term. But it would be a damn shame if one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports has to be sacrificed because important people in suits can't get along. Edited by Jennifer DiDonato CONFERENCE FOOTBALL BIG 12 PRESENTED BY PREVIEW WAVE (3) OKLAHOMA @ (11) TEXAS 11 A.M. SATURDAY.OCT.8 The Texas Longhorns get the chance to prove they have put their struggles of their 2010 season behind them as they take on the Oklahoma Sooners for the 105th time in the Red River Rivalry. Texas has moved up to the 11 spot in the AP poll following four wins against unranked teams, while Oklahoma fell from the top spot to number three despite winning all four of its contests this season. The winner of this game will have the momentum in the race to win the Big 12. Brown PLAYER TO WATCH Texas running back Malcolm Brown: The key to the Longhorn offense is their rushing attack, and their leader is Brown, who is averaging 4.9 yards per carry. If the Longhorns want to compete, Brown will have to have success on the ground to take the pressure off the Longhorn quarterback combination of Case McCoy and David Ash. PREDICTION 35-20. OKLAHOMA Although Texas has made strides of improvement, the Sooners have experience after defeating then fifth ranked Florida State on the road. Sooner quarterback Landry Jones and the Sooner's fifth ranked pass game will be too much for the Longhorn defense to handle. (20) MISSOURI @ KANSAS STATE 2:30 P.M. SATURDAY. OCT. 8 Despite being unbeaten and defeating 15th ranked Baylor at home last week, the Wildcats still find themselves the underdog to a 500 Missouri team that has struggled in three of its four games. The Wildcat defense is riding high after stopping Miami's game winning drive at the goal line, then stopping Heisman Trophy candidate Robert Griffin III's game winning drive before he could get anything rolling the next week. Brown PLAYER TO WATCH BANKS AUTHORITY Kansas State linebacker Arthur Brown. Brown was the first player to intercept Baylor quarterback all season, and his pick set up Kansas State's game winning field goal. Brown has recorded 33 tackles and two sacks on the season to date, and if he keeps his production up, he and the Wildcats 17th ranked scoring defense will shut down the Tiger offense. The Wildcat defense will be able to handle the Missouri offense fairly easily and the Wildcat rushing attack will slice through Missouri's defense with ease as they run their way to victory. ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com PREDICTION 27-17. KANSAS STATE STATE IOWA STATE @ BAYLOR BEARS BAYLOR 6 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 8 The Cyclones and the Bears are both looking to bounce back from their first losses of the season. The winner will find itself back in contention to be the upstart team of the Big 12, while the loser will once again be relegated to the Big 12 basement. M. KENNETH MAYER Griffin III PLAYER TO WATCH Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III: Griffin still has the Heisman hype surrounding him, despite failing to lead Baylor's last minute comeback bid against Kansas State last week. Griffin's numbers are still impressive, as he has 18 touchdown passes compared to just 20 incompletions. PREDICTION 42-31. BAYLOR The Baylor offense will continue its roll, while Iowa State will continue to sputter along. A gritty performance by Cyclone quarterback Steele Jantz won't be enough to overtake the Bears. In a game that will lack defense, Iowa State will not be able to keep up. ATM @ TEXAS A&M TEXAS TECH 6 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 8 The Aggies have suffered consecutive losses where they have not been able to hold onto a sizeable lead at haftime, while the Red Raiders undefeated despite not facing a team with a win over a team from a BCS conference. This game represents the opportunity for Texas Tech to show the nation it deserves to be in the Top 25, and for the Aggies to rediscover their winning ways that once had them ranked as high as eighth in the AP poll. PARKER PLAYER TO WATCH Texas Tech receiver Darin Moore: Moore put up gaudy numbers in the Red Raiders' first two games, totaling 339 yards and four touchdowns. He has been sidelined since, leaving the Red Raiders' third game of the season. His status for Saturday is highly questionable, but if he can come back and play at a high level, he could provide the boost needed for a Red Raider upset. Moore PREDICTION 35-24. TEXAS A&M The Aggies will be able to build an early lead against a suspect Red Raider defense, and this time they will be able to hold on it. Tech's offense can be dynamic, but the Aggie defense will be harder to come back against for the Red Raiders than the Jayhawk defense they faced a week before. This time, the Aggies will be able to avoid a second half collapse when quarterback Ryan Tannehill shows the improvements he's made in protecting the football. SOCCER Baylor Bears in the Jayhawks'sights RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com The collegiate soccer season is coming down the home stretch as the Kansas soccer team competes in their second-to-last home game today. "We're looking at the Big 12 standings, but I think the bigger picture for us is we want to make the NCAA Tournament," coach Mark Francis said. The Jayhawks (8-5) square-off against the Baylor Bears (9-2-2) to try and climb their way up the Big 12 standings. However, Kansas is not too concerned with its conference positioning, but is focused on larger implications. The Jayhawks sit with a comfortable ranking in the field of 65 for the NCAA tournament with an RPI of 37. Still, the Jayhawks feel like they need to keep winning and beat a few teams with higher RPI rankings. Enter Baylor, whose RPI of 35 could be a useful opportunity to build the Jayhawk's resume. "It's a huge game for us in terms of postseason ramifications," Francis said. In order for the jayhawks to come out victorious, they will need to be ready for a competitive match against the Bears that will test their physicality and grit. Junior midfielder Whitney Berry has seen Baylor's style of play before and knows the kind of team the Jayhawks could be going up against today. According to several players and coaches, Baylor is a team that is aggressive and attacks the middle of the field. The Jayhawks' assignment for today's contest is to widen the field of play by getting the ball to the sidelines. The Big 12 named Berry the Offensive Player of the Week on Thursday. She is leading the NCAA with 11 assists. "They are very athletic. I think soccer-wise we're probably a better team, but I would say they will easily match us athletic wise," Berry said. "They're, going to close you down really quickly". Francis said. "They're going to put pressure on the ball. They like to get the ball forward pretty quick and so defensively for us it's going to be making sure they don't get in behind our back line." That responsibility falls on Kansas' defenders. Two who have been productive recently are sophomore Brittany King and freshman Jami Vaughn. 13 8 King is an established starter whose presence on the field is important to the team's overall defensive identity. Vaughn did not get a starting spot until the coaching staff thought some necessary adjustments were needed going into last weekend's games against Texas and Texas A&M. Since then, Vaughn has proven to be a consistent defensive stopper. ARRY DAVIS/ KANSAN Freshman forward Ingrid Vidal weaves through opponents during Sunday's game. The Jawhareys wore pjers during the game to support breast cancer awareness. "She is one of those smart players," King said. "She always knows what to do before the ball comes to her." With only six games remaining on the regular season schedule, the players understand their expectations from the team. They know reinvent the wheel," Francis said. "At this point in the season it's fine tuning some small things." it's necessary to tighten up all areas of the game. Especially since Kansas will play four of their next five matches on the road. "At this point we're not going to SPORTS - Edited by Lindsey Deiter Cross country to compete in local Haskell meet MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com The Haskell Invitational may not be the biggest meet on the schedule for Kansas cross country, but it presents an opportunity for some of the runners to prove themselves. Of the six runners that will compete — four boys and two girls — most of them will not travel with the team for the rest of the season. This local meet will be their chance to end the season on a good note while competing against smaller area schools. "We just want to go out there and show that we are Kansas," said Devin Wiegers, a senior from Leawood. Wiegers will be running in the Haskell Invitational on Saturday. Kansas will look to perform well and show that it deserves recognition as one of the top teams in the region. The smaller schools that will run against Kansas will most likely be looking to build confidence by beating a nationally respected team. After this competition, the team will transition back to bigger races, with the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational on Oct. 14. A phrase that is continually repeated by every Kansas cross country runner is "pack running." The runners try to stay close together throughout the race. If the runners in the back can stay with the top runners that will make their time better. With a much smaller pack running this Saturday, the coaches will look to see strong performances by certain runners to show that they can hold the back of the pack as close as possible to the front-runners. This race could determine whether Wiegers will be with the team in Wisconsin next Saturday for the Adidas Invitational. The Haskell course is familiar terrain for Kansas runners. "We practice on Haskell a lot, at least once a week," said Ben Wilson, a junior from Lawrence. "For the guys, we're probably going to run the course on Friday and we'll develop some type of game plan then." Having knowledge of the course before the competition can be a valuable advantage, as the Kansas men have already proven by finishing first in the Bob Timmons Classic at the University's home course, Rim Rock Farm. Not everyone would prefer to have a detailed gameplan of the race before hand, though. Wiegers said that she will likely just go run and try to think about strategy as little as possible. 1 For Wiegers, cross country is about putting herself in the best possible state of mind. "In practice we focus on pack running and just mental stability and confidence," Wiegers said. "Good mental attitude is really important for this race."

The defense showed signs of improvement for the first time all season against Texas Tech. They limited an explosive Red Raiders offense to only seven first quarter points, as the defensive line put on the pressure, and the secondary flew to the ball. Things then returned to business as usual for a defense ranking 119th in the country. Texas Tech scored 38 points in the next three quarters, keeping this season's question marks with the Kansas defense. They'll have to pressure senior quarterback Brandon Weeden, which is the only way to disrupt an offense that has yet to be slowed all season. The Jayhawks' offense looked like one of the best in the country for one quarter last Saturday. Kansas exploded to a 20-0 start over Texas Tech, but scoring only 14 points the rest of the game. The Jayhawks' offense ranks 26th in the country, averaging 455.25 yards per game. Kansas brings four different running backs to the action, each of whom have had their chances to shine this season. Freshman Brandon Bourbon got his turn against Texas Tech, running for 101 yards on 10 carries. The Jayhawks will be running a whole lot Saturday, to keep the Cowboys' offense off the field.

DEFENSE 10 13 The number of consecutive road games Kansas has lost The number of Kansas players who have caught a pass so far this season. AT A GLANCE After missing out on an invaluable opportunity to start conference play 1-0 and improve into the season 3-1, Kansas enters the teeth of its Big 12 schedule. The offense has continued to perform well, while the defense will be put to the ultimate test in taking on the nations third best offense, No. 6 Oklahoma State. MOMENTUM SPECIAL TEAMS The Jayhawks' special teams had a bad day against Texas Tech, Junior receiver and returner D.J. Beeshares suffered from a case of fumble-itis, as he botched both a kick and punt return. Freshman kicker Alex Mueller had a PAT blocked by the Red Raiders, and sophomore punter Ron DoHerty had three punts for 113 yards, good for an average of 37.6 yards per punt. They'll have to pick it up against Oklahoma State this week if they want any chance to come back to Lawrence victorious. There is none. Kansas let two consecutive games slip away in the second half. If that isn't demoralizing for a football team, not much else is. The Jayhawks are entering the toughest portion of their schedule as they follow Oklahoma State with No. 3 Oklahoma. COACHING 25 — Mike Gunnoe THE MASTER Gill While the team showed signs of progress against Texas Tech, it could not put together a strong four quarters. Kane- halftime and was outscored 21-0, a sign of poor halftime coaching adjustments. Gill and the staff has reviewed their halftime routine and he says things will be different this week. Saturday show whether or not the coaches have corrected their fatal third quarter flaws. Coach Turner Gill said Terry has been the most improved defensive player so far this season. With the light resting sleep How men on the Jayhawks' secondary this week. Terry's performance can go a long way in slowing down the Cowboys' pass attack. Terry had the defense's first interception of the season against Texas Tech. Turnovers will be huge in Saturday's game and Terry could make the big plays for the Jayhawks' secondary. PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman safety Keeston Terry: Terry QUESTION MARKS punts will the defense force? 23 The Kansas defense may very well take a pounding against the Oklahoma State offense this week. The question is not whether Kansas can contain Oklahoma State throughout the game, but whether it will be able to force any punts from the Cowboys. Don't expect too many as the Cowboys put up 48 points in Lawrence last year and, with the defense performing worse this year than last, it could be a long day on the sidelines for the punt coverage unit. ? BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF The defense somehow forces pressure throughout the game on Weeden. If they can do that, there is a chance that the defense will force some turnovers, something they haven't been able to do all season. This will put their dangerous offense in good field position all game. Kansas will have to win the turnover battle in a big way if it wants any chance to win this weekend. STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE Oklahoma State's offense is one of the most explosive in the nation. It is ranked third in total offense and sixth in scoring, averaging 46.75 points per game. While all the attention is poured onto the passing game, the running game has put up solid numbers too, led by Wichita-native Joseph Randle. | Pos. | NAME | No. | Year | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | LT | Levy Adcock | 73 | Sr. | | LG | Nick Martinez | 75 | Sr. | | C | Grant Garner | 74 | Sr. | | RG | Lane Taylor | 68 | Jr. | | RT | Parker Graham | 71 | So. | | QB | Brandon Weeden | 3 | Sr. | | RB | Joseph Randle | 1 | So. | | FB | Kyle Staley | 9 | Jr. | | TE | Wilson Youman | 86 | Sr. | | WR | Justin Blackmon | 81 | Jr. | | WR | Josh Cooper | 25 | Sr. | | WR | Hubert Anyiam | 84 | Sr. | | WR | Tracy Moore | 87 | Jr. | | K | Quinn Sharp | 13 | Jr. | Pos.

COLLEGE OF STATISTICS UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Mike Gundy is in his seventh season at the helm of his alma mater. He holds a 51-29 record. Last year marked the first time the powbys finished in a tie for the Big 12 South division under Gundy.

I PLAYER TO WATCH Oklahoma State is riding high after defeating Texas A&M on the road. The victory gives it an early leg up in the Conference title race, as it was the first to dispatch a Top 10 team. AT A GLANCE CITY OF NEW YORK 10TH AVE. NW 212-655-5200 Weeden The Kansas offense turns the ball over like it did last week. If it repeats that performance, the Cowboys will put the pedal to the floor and the game will be over before it even begins. After coming from behind to defeat Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, two weeks ago, Oklahoma State thrust itself to the front of the Big 12 championship picture. The Cowboys are powered by their offense, led by Quarterback Brandon Weeden and Receiver Justin Blackmon. The Cowboys will be looking to hang a high number on a reeling Jayhawk defense. MOMENTUM Cowboy Quarterback Brandon Weeden: Weeden is averaging 398 passing yards per game and he will be sure to put on a performance against the Jayhawks. Weeden has thrown for at least one touchdown in every game he has started in his career at Oklahoma State. QUESTION MARKS boys put the game away early? Can the C 2 Last season the Jahayhw jumped out to a 14-10 lead over the Cowbys before Oklahoma State scored 38 unanswered points. If the Cowbys jump out to an early lead, the game could be over before the first quarter ends, allowing the Cowbys to begin their preparation for their trip down to Austin the next week. 1 - 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2011 PAGE 9 QUOTE OF THE DAY "Attn.Guy at the NFL that decides on who and how much players get detained Stop being a pupper, if you want to protect QB's, get better linemen." — Babin on Twitter FACT OF THE DAY Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin was fired $15,000 by the NFL on Thursday for a hit on San Francisco 99ers quaterback Alex Smith.

By Blake Schuster While NBA fans will be sulking through the next few months, the small population who can't get enough NHL action will be in for a treat. With many storylines heading into the season, all signs point to this being one of the most exciting in the league's history, but the most important storylines are light-years ahead of the rest. NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN The Colin Campbell era is over in the NHL, as Brendan Shanahan steps into the role of Vice President of Player Safety. While the controversial Campbell was notably passive in his disciplinary actions over the course of his tenure, Shanahan has been ironically proactive in his first few weeks of duty. Shanahan suspended nine players during the preseason, but it wasn't the suspensions that earned him praise, it's the way he has been handing them out. For every disciplinary action, Shanahan has been releasing a video featuring himself standing next to a TV showing the play under review. Shanahan takes views — and the player on trial — through the play, pausing and explaining what was wrong or right with it, then defining the rule for that instance before handing out a final verdict. Shanahan has been swift and tough with his rulings in his quest to clean up the trend of dirty hits that have taken center stage in the NHL. For the first time since 1996, the Winnipeg Jets will begin a new season in the NHL. After the acquisition of the Atlanta Thrashers by True North Sports & Entertainment — a Manitoba based company — the new owners moved the team READY FOR TAKEOFF to Winnipeg where they inherited the name and fanatics of the former franchise. Aside from constant "white-outs" — a tradition that grew to notoriety with the former Jets, who now play as the Phoenix Coyotes — the return of the NHL to Winnipeg has bestowed a new topic to discuss by the NHL Board of Governors, and it's one that seems to be pretty popular these days: Realignment. The Atlanta Thrashers were a part of the Southeast Conference in the NHL, however, playing out of Winnipeg doesn't qualify regionally for that division. This means one franchise will be getting some new rivals. The NHL has announced that realignment will be finished before the end of this season, and reports have identified three teams that are targets to be switching conferences: Detroit, Columbus, or Nashville. After a disappointing Stanley Cup defense, the Chicago Blackhawks have retooled themselves ... again. The departure of many key players from the last few seasons leaves Chicago with only nine of the HOW HIGH WILL THE HAWKS FLY? 25 players from their championship roster of 2010. But change is a good thing. Last year the Hawks were pushed around and bullied, but that won't be the case anymore. General manager Stan Bowman went out and got Jamal Mayers, Daniel Carcillo, Steve Montador, and Sean O'Donnell, among others, to make sure the only roughhousing comes from the boys wearing the Indian heads. Add that with the position change of Patrick Kane to second line center, and the Hawks become one of the more dangerous teams in the league. Sports Illustrated picked Chicago to win the Western Conference, anything less would be a letdown. - Edited by Josh Kantor KU BASKETBALL Preseason honors for team leaders Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior forward Thomas Robinson have earned Preseason All-Big 12 honors for the upcoming season, the Big 12 coaches announced Thursday. Taylor, a 6-foot-3 guard from Hoboken, N.J., has been a primary starter for Kansas each of his first three seasons in Lawrence and is the team's top returning scorer from last season. He averaged 9.3 points and a career best 4.5 assists a year ago. A 6-foot-10 forward and Washington D.C. native, Thomas Robinson was selected to the All-Big 12 team by all nine opposing conference coaches, only the third player with that distinction. Robinson averaged 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds last season while playing behind the Morris twins for most of the year. With both twins now in the NBA, Robinson will be expected to shoulder most of the load for the Jayhawks down low. He was also recently named to the Preseason Wooden Award watch list, the award given to college basketball's best player.

It will also be fine with Missouri leaving because the conference has multiple schools it can contact such as Louisville, BYU, West Virginia and Cincinnati. By Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/mlavieri have mixed feelings if Texas Christian University joins the Big 12. It keeps the conference at 10 teams after Texas A&M's departure to the Southeastern Conference. The Horned Frogs are the reigning Rose Bowl champions, which adds another Bowl Championship Series team to the conference. It also adds the Dallas TV market, which will help bring in more revenue. What I don't like is how TCU is located in Dallas/Fort Worth area. It'll make recruiting in Texas that much tougher for Kansas. Players will want to go to TCU because it's in their backyard and in an automatic-qualifying BCS conference. Football podcast on KANSAN.COM Missouri has never been relevant. It has a Napoleon Complex. It's been in the shadow of Kansas in basketball and Texas and Oklahoma in football. Guess what Missouri? The same thing will happen in the SEC, except there are more schools than just Texas and Oklahoma that will bully you around in football. Also, Kentucky will overshadow Missouri in basketball. While this is all driven by football, in a basketball sense, TCU adds nothing. It hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since the 1997-98 season. A season ago it finished 11-22 overall and 1-15 in the Mountain West. The MWC had San Diego State and Brigham Young University ranked in the top 10 and received a No. 2 and No. 3 seed in the tournament, respectively. 7 52 Get this week's podcast about Kansas football and TCU joining the Big 12. GRAB AND GO Senior linebacker Steven Johnson looks in ready to sack the Texas Tech quarterback Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Johnson led the Jayhawks with seven solo tackles. I don't know what's going on with Missouri. It says it wants to go to the Big Ten, then is denied and pledges loyalty to the Big 12. After Texas A&M left, Missouri pledged its loyalty again, but now wants to go to the SEC. It's worse than a high school girl. Missouri just needs to make up its mind. If you answered zero, you're correct (although it did capture a Big 12 North title in 2007 and 2008 in football and a Big 12 basketball tournament title in 2009, those aren't as noteworthy). Quick, when was the last time Missouri won a conference championship in basketball or football since the Big 12 was formed? How many BCS games has Missouri won? How many Final Fours has Missouri been to? Missouri won't have a fighting chance in football in the SEC. An SEC team has won the national championship for the last five years. I think the conference would like Missouri to stay, especially since it would keep the rivalry with Kansas alive and the Big 12 basketball tournament in Kansas City, Mo., but at the same time could care less if it left. TURNOVERS NEEDED MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com If the lajawks want any chance of taking down the No. 6 Oklahoma State Cowboys, who have the nation's third-best offense, they need to capitalize on a simple strategy: Take the ball away. Oftentimes, when a team enters a game expected to lose — such as Kansas, a 31.5-point underdog — its only shot will be to win the turnover margin. In playing a team like Oklahoma State, which ranks 41st in turnovers given up, there will be opportunities to take the ball away. It's just a matter of capitalizing on them. Kansas, though, has had issues creating turnovers all season. Its defense ranks last in the country in turnovers gained, with just two. Cincinnati and Rutgers currently rank first with 18 turnovers gained, showing just how far behind this defense actually is. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that the defense is in fact improving, even though the numbers don't quite show it yet. "I still think an area that we've got to continue to preach and teach is the creation of turnovers," Shealy said. An indicator of that improvement came when Kansas forced its first interception of the season against Texas Tech, when freshman safety Keeston Terry jumped a route and made the play. Terry's play showed that the Jayhawks' work throughout the week paid off on game day. "It was a route concept we saw a lot in practice," Terry said, "I just read the play. I was excited, it was the first turnover I caused since last year in the Georgia Tech game." Oklahoma State senior quarterback Brandon Weeden will make Terry and the rest of the Kansas secondary's day a long one if the defense can't disrupt Weeden's rhythm. He has completed an astronomical 75 percent of his passes thus far, but he has also thrown six interceptions. Even still, the Cowboys boast the seventh best turnover margin in the country. Oklahoma State's defense has been a machine in forcing turnovers, gaining the ball back for the offense through five fumble recoveries and eight interceptions. "Defensively, the thing that jumps out at me are their stats," coach Turner Gill said. "They have caused 13 turnovers, so we have to make sure that we have extremely good ball security. We also need to take care of the ball as far as not throwing any interceptions." The Kansas offense has done a good job protecting the ball this season, only turning the ball over five times on the year. But three of those came in the first Big 12 game against Texas Tech. In its first conference game on the road, Kansas will face its toughest challenge of the season. For the Jayhawks to have any hope against the Cowboys, their offense will have to hold onto the ball, and the defense will have to get it back more. "We've got our work cut out." Gill said. Edited by Jason Bennett VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks seek first conference win MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_vball With their backs against the wall in the Big 12 conference, the players on the Kansas volleyball team are treating tomorrow's game against Texas A&M as the biggest game of the season. "We look at every game we play as the biggest game of the season," junior defensive specialist Morgan Boub said. "We have to go into it with a good mindset, and we need to play our hardest every time out." But that is not an uncommon mindset for the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks (12-4, 0-3) will look for their first win in conference play when they square off with the Aggies (13-4, 2-2) at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Horesei Family Athletics Center. After starting this season with their best record since 2002, the Jayhawks have struggled in the Big 12, going 0-3 for the first "We've got the most tightly bunched, from a competitive standpoint, league we've ever had," coach Ray Bechard said. "The top is good, but the bottom is closer to the top than it's ever been. Each and every night is going to be a real struggle, a battle and a challenge for us." "They've got Kelsey Black, who is one of the better players in the league and we'll have to be mindful of," Bechard said. "They're really balanced and they've got some good wins this season." time since 1997. Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield had a double-double in Tuesday's home sweep against Nebraska-Omaha, recording 14 kills and 16 digs. She said Tuesday's third set rallied from a 20- The Aggies and their stand-out senior outside hitter Kelsey Black look to rebound from a sweep at the hands of Texas on Oct. 5, a loss that dropped them to 2-2 in conference play. 24 hole showed the team's never-sav-die attitude. "It really showed that even it looks like it might be over, you can't give up," Mayfield said. "If we keep pushing and working hard, we can come back from deficits like that." The Javahawks as a unit may have struggled to open Big 12 play, but they are getting strong individual performances. Mayfield is ranked second in the conference in kills and points per set, averaging 4.26 and 4.71, respectively. She said Tuesday's comeback against Nebraska-Omaha was a great feeling, but the team can't make a habit of falling behind late. I'll just use the text. The image shows a female volleyball player in mid-action, throwing a ball. The background is blurred, focusing on the player. "Hopefully we won't put ourselves in situations like that in the future," Mayfield said. "But we know if we do there is still hope that we can make a comeback."

Local 'Occupy' takes downtown Thousands of students piled out of town for fall break and those who remained could see Lawrence occupied like it had never been before. JOHN GARFIELD editor@kansan.com Dozens of students and concerned citizens turned out Saturday for "Occupy Lawrence," the local division of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement that has been taking place throughout the United States. The corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets served as a platform for many issues including systemic discrimination, food safety, financial regulation, information control, environmental law and alternative energy. “This is starti ng a conversation about a lot of things,” said Gus Bova, a freshman from Activists showed concerns heightened by legislation granting greater rights to corporations while lowering legal and financial responsibilities, particularly in light of the Supreme Court decision to allow corporate influence on political campaigns as individuals under the First Amendment. "The individual label fails a lot of the time," said Cody Alley, a junior from Lawrence. "They get to cover up what they've done. They can lobby because they have so much money they basically control politicians." Demonstrators also cited class-based disparities in the tax code as key agents in perpetuating the imbalance of power they spoke of. Lawrence. "In particular, it is settled around disparity of wealth and economic inequality." "I'm all about corporations.I just don't think they should be running the government." Though the event drew upon multiple facets of community concerns, the heart of the event's base movement focused on the crux of economic disparity and criticism for corporate influence within government. "They keep trying to get more from lower and lower income families and take their taxes even though the top one percent is barely paying any," said Jayne Wakefield, a graduate student in "A lot of people are bringing their own personal grievances to this, but because this is something to open a conversation, it's a way that people are starting to network and see how those personal grievances are interwoven," said Marie Byleen, a demonstrator holding a sign warning against "hollow democracy." social welfare NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK Edited by Mike Lavieri from Ithaca Mich. CODY ALLEY student Organizers hoped to draw attention to the Occupy Kansas City event that took place on Sunday, all as to draw attention for the movement on a national level. Activists espoused involvement on the street level as well as via social networking sites as a means of circumventing media channels that have a vested disinterest in the topic, citing the success of Facebook and Twitter in circulating news during revolutions in the Middle East. "My belief isn't political," Alley said. "I'm all about capitalism. I'm all about corporations. I just don't think they should be running the government." Though spectators of the event may have understandably viewed the dissent as caustic political subversion, demonstrators insisted on distinguishing themselves from polarized political entities.

Worth, Texas, beginning in 2012. While students were taking Monday off, Texas Christian University became the Big 12's 10th member. "We are excited to add TCU to our lineup of prestigious members," Big 12 Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas said. "Not only do they bring an excellent football program to our conference, but numerous other programs that have been successful on a national level so well." The conference formally extended an invitation to TCU Thursday, and it took just a matter of days for the school to accept the offer. TCU was originally due to join the Big East in 2012, but the conference is currently in a state of disarray following the departures of Pittsburgh and Syracuse for the Atlantic Coast Conference. providing students with major opportunities in a personalized environment. It is very much in line with our overall goal to create a world-class university" During the past 15 months, the Big 12 has suffered from conference realignment, but the conference looks to change that trend. "Joining the Big 12 connects us not only to schools with whom we share a rich tradition in sports, but also to schools committed to academic excellence," TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said. "Over the past six years, TCU has seen unprecedented success in academics and athletics. Participating in this conference allows us to strengthen the core of the TCU experience, which includes TCU choosing the Big 12 over the Big East largely reaffirms Netna's movement to stabilize the conference landscape since taking over the position from Dan Beebe.

Although TCU will reportedly still have to pay the $5 million Big East exit fee, the Horned Frogs will start competing in the Big 12 in 2012. Just last week, the University board of curators granted Missouri Chancellor Brad Deaton full authority regarding Missouri's future conference affiliation. If Missouri were to leave the Big 12, the school would most likely be joining Texas A&M in the Southeastern Conference, but Missouri's decision will have no bearing on the conference's 2012 makeup. "If Missouri was going to change horses, it wouldn't be for 2012 anyway." Neinas told the Associated Press. A leaked document from the Missouri Board of Curators to the AP revealed that the school would wait as long as possible before jumping conferences in order to minimize potential exit penalties. "Well give Missouri time to evaluate its situation, and have an opportunity to look at the Big 12 Conference and perhaps get a better understanding of where we're going." Neinas said. "I think were on the verge of making some good progress." The Big 12's plans for expansion beyond 2012 are entirely dependent on the course of action Missouri takes in the near future. —Edited by Jonathan Shorman TCU QUICK FACTS Texas Christian University announced Monday its move from the Mountain West to the Big 12 joining the conference in all sports effective July 1, 2012.

Labor Minister Lisa Raitt said that referring the matter to the labor board will prevent nearly 7,000 flight attendants at Canada's largest airline from going on strike Thursday. Her comments come after members of the union rejected a second tentative agreement supported by union leaders. The referral buys the government time as it looks to pass back-to-work legislation. Parliament resumes sitting next week. Earlier Tuesday afternoon, the union announced that its negotiators were prepared to resume talks and called on Air Canada to address more of the issues that have upset the airline's flight attendants over the past decade. About 3,800 Air Canada a customer sales and service representatives held a three-day strike in June, but Raitt introduced back-to-work legislation two days into it. The flight attendants' union has been negotiation with the Montreal-based airline for months, Union leaders had predicted the revamped offer would be approved. They said they had managed to get about 80 percent of what the membership had demanded in the areas of wages, pensions, crew rest, working conditions and work rules. PARIS Their early courtship was hardly discreet: President Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Brun visited Disneyland Paris together, then jetted off to Jordan with cameras in tow. Weeks later, they were married. Bruni-Sarkozy is poised to become the first first lady in modern France to give birth. Sarkozy, who has long cast himself a mold-breaker, is the first French leader to divorce — and remary — while in office. They wed in early 2008, three-and-a-half months after he divorced the now-former Cecilia Sarkozy. Now, Bruni-Sarkozy is about to have a baby, and the pending birth has taken on the air of a state secret — revealing the caution within Sarkozy's political team as the unpopular president eves a possible re-election bid. The expectant mother, 43, said in recent media interviews that she didn't know the baby's gender and will make no photos of the baby public. The hush-hush atmosphere over the upcoming birth says a lot about France. France's media establishment has a reputation for cushy ties to political powers-that-be, whose personal lives have mostly been off-limits. And conventional wisdom holds that the French public, in almost conscious contrast to what is considered Anglo-Saxon fascination with politicians' private lives, doesn't care much anyway. MONROVIA. LIBERIA Voters camped out overnight and formed lines that were dozens of people deep. Their faces were wet from the early morning downpour, yet they patiently waited their turn, huddled in groups of twos and threes under candy-colored umbrellas for a chance to either re-elect Sirleaf, or choose from one of the 15 opposition candidates who claim they'll do a better job than her. Even as she basks in praise from abroad after sharing the Nobel Peace Prize, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is facing an election at home that she may lose. She's credited with stabilizing Liberia after civil war but most of the people voting in Tuesday's election have not been able to find a job since she took office nearly six years ago. The 72-year-old, Harvard-educated Sirleaf is credited with luring donors and helping restructure the country's debt. The United States alone has poured in more than $600 million since Africa's first democratically elected female leader took office, encouraged by her track record as a former World Bank economist. And under her watch, an estimated $5 billion of the country's external debt was wiped clean, allowing Liberia to re-establish a sovereign credit rating, a pre-requisite for issuing its own bonds. She has succeeded in lifting timber and diamond embargos, and her government negotiated contracts with oil exploration firms in the hopes that Liberia could soon start pumping its own oil. China on Tuesday accused overseas followers of the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama of inciting a recent string of self-immolations among Tibetans. BEIJING Five Tibetan men have set themselves on fire in the past two weeks in Aba, a traditionally Tibetan region of western China. In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said members of the "Dalai clique" not only failed to condemn the incidents, but publicized them to inspire further such acts. While few details are known, the self-immolations are seen as a protest against Communist restrictions on Tibetan Buddhism and Beijing's hostility toward the exiled Dalai Lama. "They publicly played it up, spread rumors and incited more people to follow suit," Liu told reporters at a daily news briefing. "That runs against human conscience and morality but also Buddhist doctrine," he said. In expressing concern about the self-immolations, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland on Tuesday called on the Chinese government to respect the rights of Tibetans. Liu said the self-immolations were part of a plan to violently overthrow Chinese rule in Tibet. STATE Topeka strikes down law against domestic violence Leaders in Kansas' capital city have repealed a local law against domestic violence under a controversial plan sparked by budget concerns. Topeka's city council and mayor approved the reallate late Tuesday, saying such cases are better handled by county or state courts. The vote comes less than a month after the prosecutor in Shawnee County decided to stop pursuing domestic battery cases and other misdemeanings, citing deep cuts to his budget. "It's playing a game of chicken with people's lives," said Rita Smith, executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. "I can guarantee that people who are abusing are using this as a way to say, 'See, I told you' City and county officials had hoped to strike a deal to end the budget dispute. Advocates for domestic abuse victims were outraged, saying the plans amounted to austerity run amok. But the city's interim manager says Topeka is now in a better position to negotiate that nobody cares."

"We never wanted this to happen," he said. "I never thought we'd be at this point." Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor says he knew his decision would upset people but contends his hand was forced by the 10 percent cut in his budget for 2012, which he says will force him to lay off staff. He said he considered employee furloughs and "every angle" before making his announcement in early September. Topeka has had at least 35 reported incidents of domestic battery or assault since early September. Those cases are not being pursued, and as of last Friday, 18 people jailed have been released without facing charges. Topeka police say. Prosecutors and police have refused to discuss details of the cases out of concern for victims' privacy, making it difficult to assess in what situations suspects aren't being prosecuted.

Children that typically didn't look at people, didn't respond CAMPUS Researchers make new find using iPads to treat disorder A University study on iPads has shown a promising lead in the treatment of children living with cortical visual impairment, a disorder that severely affects the interpretation of visual information. Researchers at the KU Life Span Institute have recorded high responsiveness in children living with CVI when using the Apple iPad. Muriel Saunders, an assistant research professor at the Life Span Institute, said in a press release that the researchers tested 15 children and were shocked by the results. While visual therapy for children who have CVI has been conducted traditionally using light boxes, the high-power high-contrast screen of the iPad has presented new opportunities for researchers in terms of interactivity and the potential therapy applications that come with it. Previous research has indicated that therapy aids children with CVI in developing damaged parts of the brain, and researchers are hoping that the addition of interactive therapy applications will further stimulate the growth of brain cells in affected areas. John Garfield with objects or responded in a very repetitive fashion, were absolutely glued to the iPad. It was an amazing experience," Saunders said.

The Man, has been thriving this year. In April, the band signed with a major record label. It embarked on a world tour, and its latest album spent two weeks on the top of the college radio charts last month. But Portugal. The Man has plenty of love for Lawrence. It performed at the Bottleneck in front of a raucous crowd Sunday night. cous crowd Sunday night. "Lawrence has been my favorite town in the country for six or seven years," said Zach Carothers, bassist. "We've had some really killer times here Lawrence has been my favorite town in the country for six or seven years." killer times here." Carothers and Ryan Neighbors, keyboard player, said that in their seven visits to Lawrence, the band has explored the city and become particularly fond of the vintage stores and Jimmy John's sandwiches. uted to its unique style of music, strong lyrics, and the sheer amount of music they have produced, including eight full length albums since 2006. The love seems to be mutual. The Only Children, a local band, opened up the show and played while the crowd swelled until the and they recently moved from an independent label to Atlantic Records, the label that represents T.I., Death Cab for Cutie and Jason Mraz. Although its performance was as satisfying as ever, a lot has changed for Portugal. The Man since it last visited Lawrence in January. The band has a tour bus for the first time, its most recent album "In the Mountain In the Cloud" marked its best debut on the U.S. charts, ZACH CAROTHERS bassist Bottleneck was packed with people waiting to see Portugal. The Man. Its music, which Carothers describes as a "mix of accessible pop songs and weirdo psychedelic stuff," was accompanied by a light show and praise from fans. "I thought the show was fantasic," said Ryan House, a junior from Salina. "This was the third time I have seen them, and they never disappoint." "Major labels have been talking to us since the beginning, House enjoyed the mixture of old and new songs that the band played during its set. The band's increasing popularity can be attrib- but we wanted to make sure we were ready," Carothers said. "We wanted to make sure we were good enough before getting thrown into a big label like that." In the spirit of improvement, the band has been putting more work into its live shows. For Portugal. The Man, improvement might be the measure of success rather than the world tour and major record deal. "We have cool lights now. And we've started practicing, which we didn't use to do on tour," Neighbors said. "I think we're getting way better," Carothers joked. "That's always the trick. Every time you see us live, it hopefully gets better. When it starts to stay the same, that's when we'll try to sell a song to a commercial and just peace out. But hopefully that doesn't happen for quite some time because I'm not good at anything else." Edited by C.J. Matson HANOVER, N.H. — Presidential candidate Mitt Romney took some less staunchily conservative stands than his rivals in their debate Tuesday night; declaring he can work with "good" Democrats and positioning himself closer to the center in line with his claim that he can draw crucial independent voters in next year's general election. He even defended portions of the Wall Street bailout, a particular sore point with many conservative voters who will play an important role in choosing the Republican nominee next winter and spring. But the former Massachusetts governor joined the others in sharply criticizing numerous aspects of President Barack Obama's economic policies. Romney moderates stands ASSOCIATED PRESS Romney said no one likes the idea of balling out big Wall Street firms. However, he said, many of the actions taken in 2008 and POLITICS 2009 were needed to keep the dollar's value from plummeting and "to make sure that we didn't all lose our jobs." The nation was on a precipice, Romney said, "and we could have had a complete meltdown." The bailouts are a touchy subject in the campaign, as many GOP voters fault Obama's handling of the matter. Romney said he disagreed with Obama's actions to shore up General Motors and Chrysler, although the administration says the moves were highly successful and much of the federal money has been repaid. Romney also said he would work with "good" Democrats to lead the country out of economic crisis. He said that's what he did as Massachusetts governor and what he would do if he wins the White House. Texas Gov. Rick Perry was not asked about the bailouts, but his campaign distributed his past statements saying "government should not be in the business of using taxpayer dollars to bail out corporate America." In the debate, sponsored by Bloomberg News and the Washington Post, Perry said the government must open the way for more production of domestic energy sources. The nation must "pull back those regulations that are strangling American entrepreneurship", Perry said. Former pizza company executive Herman Cain repeated his call for replacing the U.S. tax code with a 9 percent national sales tax and a 9 percent levy on personal and corporate income. Given a chance to assail Wall Street, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann blamed too much regulation. She also said Obama wants to let Medicare collapse, pushing everyone into "Obama-care," the health overhaul passed by congressional Democrats in 2010. PLAGIARISM FROM 11 in its digital library, published a Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles in place of the papers. The notice states that the papers contain significant portions of text from three other scholarly works, without attribution, and recommends that researchers remove any references to the papers in their own research. In addition to failing to stop publication on learning of the plagiarism, the University's censure faults the researchers for failing to report the misconduct to the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies as required by the University Senate rules. Visvanathan declined to comment when contacted by The Kansan. Lushington, in an email, expressed regret on behalf of both researchers and wrote that their research group had implemented measures to prevent such incidents from happening again. He wrote that he had been advised not to make any further comment to the media. ing the timing of his knowledge of the plagiarism issue." The censures as published by KU Today represent the University's only public statement on the incident, according to Jill Jess, the director of the KU News Service.

They got married in 1937, and were married for 64 years. She died in 2002. King County Prosecutor Warren G. Magnuson hired Rosellini out of law school. At age 101, former govenor passes away In 1927, his father and a friend were arrested and charged with trying to smuggle drugs out of Mexico, according to a 1997 biography by Payton Smith. Gov. Rosellini reflected to Smith years later that his father's arrest in the home, the sensational headlines and visiting his father in federal prison made an indelible impression on him and motivated him to enter law school. Former Washington Gov. Albert Roselli, a son of Italian immigrants who became the oldest living former governor in America, died Monday. He was 101. Albert Dean Rosellini was born in Tacoma in 1910 and developed his characteristic work ethic as a child. He remembered selling newspapers at age 9 while also doing odd jobs for a woman for a penny a day. In 1938, when he was 28 years old, Rosellini was elected to the state Senate and served for 18 years. He championed the creation of the medical and dental A Democrat who always wore a rosebud on his lapel, Roselli served as governor for eight years ending in 1965. His tenure in office was defined by efforts to reform state prisons and modernize mental health institutions while shepherding through the creation of the 520 floating bridge that now bears his name. He was a boxer in college and took three jobs to put himself through school, working as a butcher in Pike Place Market, working on an Alaska steamer and law clerk. Rosellini's daughter, Lynn, recalled how he was able to connect with voters so quickly because of his ability to identify with average people and his interest in their concerns. "He always said if he shook somebody's hand it was a vote," Lynn Rosellini said. "He would look at you like there was nobody else in the room." The family said Rosellini's health had declined in recent weeks because of pneumonia. He died at a retirement community in Seattle. 16 Calendar abbr. 20 Period 23 Liquidic 24 To and — 25 Done 27 Siesta 29 Raw rock 30 Still, in verse 32 Tranquilizes 34 Rifle attachment 37 Sleep phenom 39 Eastern princess 42 Most common dice roll 44 Green pasta sauce 45 Collections 46 Beige 48 Indian Ocean vessel 49 Wilder or Hackman 50 Paradise 53 Sailor's assent schools at the University of Washington. "Friends said, you are well qualified but with your name and your religion you'll never make it in the state," he recalled 10 years ago. He recalled battling prejudices about his Italian and Catholic heritage throughout his career. In 1972, Rosellini made another run for governor, winning the Democratic primary but losing to Evans in the general election. Rosellini believed ethnic and religious prejudice defeated him, as bumper stickers at the time said: "Does Washington Really Need Another Godfather." The Oscar-winning film "The Godfather" was released the same year. Rosellini went on to serve as governor from 1957 until 1965 before losing to Republican Gov. Dan Evans. "That Mafia crap really hurt. Overnight, I dropped over 12 percent in the ratings. I don't think people believe it so much as it scared the hell out of them. They were scared away from me," he said during a 1986 interview with The Associated Press. Colacurcio was later implicated in a 2003 campaign finance conspiracy relating to donations made to three City Council members, at a time he was seeking to expand a strip club parking lot. Rosellini helped deliver several of the campaign contributions, but was not charged. After leaving politics, Rosellini went on to become a mentor for Democrats in the state, providing U.S. Sen. Patty Murray her first endorsement, helping fundraise for U.S. Sen. Cantwell and mentoring former Gov. Gary Locke. He also bonded with Evans, his longtime political foe. Rosellini was friends with Seattle strip club magnate Frank Colacurcio Sr. and represented the fellow Italian-American during his early years as an attorney. "One thing I really admired, he didn't just retire and disappear." Evans recalled Monday. "He kept working and was active right up to the last couple of years." Locke, now U.S. ambassador to China, called Roselli a "dear friend and mentor." In recent years, Locke organized special birthday parties for Rosellini, including one for his 100th birthday, which drew Washington's current governor and former governors as well.

The statue was commissioned by the city council in 2007 at a cost of $27,500. It is 9 feet tall with a 10-foot wingspan. Novoato police said it may have been stolen for its metal but the motive isn't clear yet. They're offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the thieves.

The Big 12 Conference scored a major victory Monday when Texas Christian University accepted an invitation to join the conference. For being so gross, Keystone has great commercials. Texas Christian fits Big 12 conference well The addition of TCU effectively replaces departing Texas A&M University, which will officially leave for the Southeastern Conference next summer. Nothing says "I want a stalker" like Foursquare. Recently, TCU has had major success in football and baseball. As a member of the now defunct Southwest Conference, it has a rich basketball history against all the Big 12 Oklahoma and Texas universities. Academically, TCU compares similarly to the three other Big 12 Texas institutions. It has accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools with the highest degree standing at Level VI. It's ranked higher than University of Kansas in the latest US News & World Report and Forbes college rankings. And despite its small enrollment of less than 10,000 students, TCU sports an endowment of $1.2 billion compared to KU Endowment's $1.65 billion.

We commend Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little for her strong endorsement of TCU. In a news release statement last The University and Missouri's Border Showdown and rich traditions will be in jeopardy if Missouri leaves, but old traditions will be reborn if the Big 12 represents what it once was, the joining of two storied conferences. Not only did this endorsement solidify the University's commitment to the Big 12 stability, it also projected Gray-Little as a leader in higher education politics. Thursday, Gray-Little cited the strong alumni base and recruiting ties to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area as support for TCU as a positive addition for student athletes and fans. But although the Big 12 found its tenth member, the University of Missouri is considering leaving.

POLITICS Romney full of flips By Luke Brinker lbrinker@kansan.com One should always be wary of unsolicited political advice from the other side of the aisle, but I can't help asking conservatives: Are you really going to let Mitt Romney walk away with the Republican nomination? There's a reason most liberals would select Romney, if the longshot former Gov. Jon Huntsman (R-Utah) weren't an option, as the candidate they'd most prefer the Republicans nominate. It isn't because lefties think President Barack Obama would have an easy time defeating Romney. It's far from it, actually. Rather, amid a torpid economic climate, Obama's odds of re-election are even at best, and the last thing liberals and progressives want to see is a true-believing conservative like Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) ascend to the nation's highest office. Romney, unlike Perry or current tea party flame Herman Cain, is simply not a principled conservative. Romney's history of policy U-turns is well documented. He sought office in Massachusetts as a middle-of-the-road Republican who supported abortion rights, embryonic stem cell research, gay rights, gun control, government regulation of carbon dioxide emissions, and opposed the economic record of President Ronald Reagan. In fact, in his un- Senate in 1994, Romney made a point of noting that he wasn't even a Republican during the presidency of Reagan, practically a conservative saint. And while Romney may couch his defense of Massachusetts' health care program in the conservative language of states' rights, it was the moderate Romney - not the conservative opponent of government intervention - who actually signed the law. Romney first reversed his positions in favor of abortion rights and stem cell research. He said that after listening to a Harvard scientist's cavalier description of the science behind stem cell research, he decided that our culture had become insensitive to life. A pro-lifer was thus born. This story would be a bit more believable if Romney's flip-flop on "right to life" issues didn't coincide with his changing positions on gays in the military, gun control, climate change, and the infallibility of Reagan. Of course, all of these U-turns occurred ahead of Romney's 2008 bid for the White House, when he needed conservative primary voters. But Romney's flip-flopping history pre-dates 2008. He ran against Ted Kennedy in 1994 as an ardent pro-choicer. After moving to conservative Utah to run the Winter Olympics, Romney abandoned his pro-choice stance, thinking he might want to run for office there. But after returning to Massachusetts in time for a successful 2002 gubernatorial race, he was once again promising not to waver in defending a woman's right to choose. Given that he consistently tailors his positions according to which office he's seeking, it's obvious that Romney's conservatism in nothing more than a ploy to win the GOP nomination. Come general election time, he'll have a more moderate electorate to appeal to, and just as he's previously thrown liberals under the bus to serve his electoral ends, he'll do the same thing to conservatives if he thinks the right-to-lifers and gay-baiters are standing in the way of his White House hopes. If Romney is elected president, it's a virtual certainty that conservatives will find him a disappointment. They won't be able to say that the writing wasn't on the wall.

LIFESTYLE Recycling needed; plus,it's not hard By Rachel Schwartz editor@kansan.com There are a lot of different pet peeves out there. Some people can't stand it when others bite their nails or crack their knuckles (I do both). Others get annoyed when people talk and chew at the same time (again, guilty). My pet peeve is a little different: I can't stand it when people don't recycle. Around campus, I constantly see people throwing plastic water bottles and Coke cans in the garbage. Even at my apartment and other people's apartments, my roommates and friends throw away cereal boxes and other easy-to-recycle items. Yes, I have been known to fish out boxes from the trash to recycle. I don't go as far as taking boxes out of the dumpster but I do think about it — don't get me wrong. I just wish people would recycle their own stuff. It's really not that hard. Put those items in a box or bag and take them to Wal-Mart or another recycling center, including the 12th and Haskell Recycle Center and Lonnie's Recycling, 501 Maple St. Some of those places even sort your recyclables for you. On campus, however, it's a different story. There aren't that many recycling bins around. And they aren't usually even by the trash bins, which is really annoying. Sometimes it's just easier to throw away your can instead of finding a place to recycle it. Believe me, I know that. I'm glad there are places to recycle on campus, but I think they should place them in more visible, convenient locations. There should be a recycling bin right next to each major trashcan. Or maybe even by the door when you're walking out of the Union or Underground. Then, perhaps, people would be more motivated to recycle. The average American throws away as much as 50 tons of trash each year. A total of one ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees and creates five more jobs for people than virgin wood pulp paper. If you recycle just one glass jar that is enough energy to light a 100-watt light bulb for four hours. Less than half of the 100 million steel cans and 200 million aluminum cans used each day by Americans are recycled. Even then, I'm not that sure. How about I hit you with some disturbing statistics then? According to the Annenberg Foundation, the average American throws away about 4.6 pounds of "trash" each day. That is disgusting. The sad part is that about 70 percent of this could be recycled or reused. Seriously, people, just recycle. RECYCLING REALITY Forty percent less energy is used when glass products are recycled as opposed to when glass is made from new materials. If you're not sure where or what to recycle, the City of Lawrence website has a pretty extensive list of information to answer those questions. With the amount of time I know most of you spend on the Internet, much less the computer, it's pretty each to just look that up. At least that's a step in the right direction. Schwartz is a senior in journalism from Leawood. All plastics are recyclable. But Americans only recycle 5 percent of all glass products. Of all of the garbage produced in the U.S., only about 10 percent of it is recycled. SHOWER POWERS That awkward TSA moment at the air port: over heresir...

Doege outmatched counterpart Ryan Tannheh, throwing for 391 yards and three touchdowns, but losing running back Eric Stephens in the third quarter was too much for the Red Raiders to overcome. STATE IOWA STATE @ BAYLOR BEARS (25) BAYLOR BAYLOR BEARS (25) BAYLOR FINAL SCORE 49-26. BAYLOR Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III did not put on his usual passing display, he threw for only 212 yards and one touchdown, but he added 107 yards and a touchdown on the ground on 24 carries to help lift the Bears past the Cyclones. The real standout for the Bears was running back Terrance Ganaway, he ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns in the game. OU (3) OKLAHOMA (3) OKLAHOMA @ (11) TEXAS FINAL SCORE 55-17. OKLAHOMA After a close first quarter that saw Oklahoma lead 6-3, the rest of the 106th Red River Rivalry belonged to the Sooners. Sooner quarterback Landry Jones threw for 367 yards and three touchdowns, but the real spark came from the defense as Demontre Hurst picked off Longhorn quarterback David Ash in the second quarter and returned it 55 yards for the touchdown. MISSOURI @ (20) KANSAS STATE FINAL SCORE 24-17. KANSAS STATE Two late fourth quarter touchdowns by Missouri brought the Wildcats' lead to seven points, but it wasn't enough as Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein ran for three touchdowns on the day to keep the Wildcats' record spotless. BASEBALL Grand slam ends in ALC series ASSOCIATED PRESS Two innings after Nelson Cruz crumbled to the ground writhing in pain, the slugger provided a grand finish for the Texas Rangers. "That's the guy you want to see right now," Elvis Andrus said. "He's getting hot again. That's what we're looking for." Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history, sending the defending AL champions to Detroit with a 2-0 lead in the American League championship series after a 7-3 victory over the Tigers in 11 innings Monday. The high drive to left off Ryan Perry was the second home of the game for Cruz, and his third in the ALCS after struggling so badly in the first round of the playoffs (1 for 15 with only a single against Tampa Bay). He now has the Rangers on Cruz control in the ALCS. They are two wins away from their second consecutive World Series after having never won a postseason series before last year. "When Nellie gets going like he's going, he's tough to beat," fan Kinsler said. "Hopefully he can continue that and carry us." Game 3 is Tuesday night in Detroit. Colby Lewis, 4-0 in five career postseason starts, pitches for Texas against Doug Fister. Lewis was on a flight ahead of the team, and was probably already in Detroit before the 4-hour, 25-minute marathon ended in Texas. Fister flew home with the rest of the Tigers. Cruz doubled early and chased Tigers starter Max Scherzer with a tying home run in the seventh. Then he was hit near the right wrist by a Jose Valverde fastball in the ninth, when the Rangers blew a bases-loaded chance — same as Detroit had done in the top half of the iming. "When I got hit, I thought it was worse," Cruz said. "In that situation, you want to stay in the game. Thank God I got a chance to win the game." FOOTBALL Injury ends season for running back Texas Tech junior running back Eric Stephens is out for the season after dislocating his left knee in last weekend's 45-40 loss to Texas A&M. Stephens was averaging 114 yards per game and was on pace to reach 1,000 for the season. He was a big part of coach Tommy Tuberville's effort to bring a more balanced offense to the pass-happy Red Raiders. He finished with 570 yards on 109 carries. in this offense, we can get a 1,000 yards in this league. I can help us win games." The team announced the news Tuesday. "It's tough to lose a guy, the type of person he is, No. 1," Tuberville said. "He wanted to win games. But he wanted to show the team, 'Hey, The options to replace Stephens include fifth-year senior Aaron Crawford, the 5-foot-10, 211-pounder who Tuberville said was as capable as Stephens in handling blocking assignments. The Red Raiders (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) host No. 17 Kansas State (5-0, 2-0) on Saturday night. "The problem with Aaron is staying healthy." Tuberville said. "He can be a 100-yard rusher a game, but he's got to get that mentality and understand that sometimes you're going to have to play through getting knocked around a little bit, because carrying the ball three times a game as compared to 15 or 20 is a whole lot different in this league." Crawford went in for Stephens after he was injured Saturday night. He finished with seven carries for 22 yards. Texas Tech also has two true freshman —DeAndre Washington and Kenny Williams —available. Stephens was the nation's 15th-ranked rusher. He went down late in the third quarter on a first-and-goal play, his left leg pinned after a hit from Aggies linebacker Damontre Moore. The last time Texas Tech had a 1,000-yard rusher was in 1998 when Ricky Williams ran for 1,582 yards. Once former coach Mike Leach took over, the offense was weighted heavily toward the pass.

OU 2 Oklahoma State 5-0,2-0 3-2,1-1 5 Texas A&M (Last Week 2): No single receiver caught more than 100 yards, no running back ran for more than 40 yards and no one threw for more than 300 yards in the Cowboy's route of the Jayhawks.

KATHLEEN GIER kzter@kansan.com Last season, the Kansas women's basketball team finished two wins short of reaching the NCAA Tournament. Junior forward Carolyn Davis led the Big 12 in field goal percentage and junior guard Angel Goodrich led in assists. Last place finishes in field goal percentage and opponent field goal percentage in the conference slowed down the Jayhawks. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that the defense is still a weak spot for the team. "It is arguably the worst defensive team I have put on the court here," Henrickson said. "There is no excuse. We are long, we are athletic. We have to develop the toughness it takes and the discipline and buy in and commit." Henrickson compared the commitment to defense to a relationship. I want them to fall in love and marry it and don't want them to add it on their Facebook or follow it on "Twitter," Henrickson said. Goodrich said that the team needs to stick together and reaffirmed its commitment to defense. "We may have the offensive side, but the one thing to get to where we want to go is the defensive side," Goodrich said. "That is a big goal for us right now." The Jayhawks return four starters, including Davis and Goodrich, and seven letter winners. This season, they also added five freshmen. Junior guard Monica Engelman said that the team is looking to finally change its postseason fortune this season. "Collectively, we all want Henrickson compared the environment at practice to Danielle McCray's final season at Kansas. The Jayhawks had just come off of a WNIT Finals appearance and were ranked second in the conference to begin that season. Henrickson said that this team has the same kind of excitement something special," Engelman said. "People are going to be pushing themselves and bringing something and hopefully getting different results than what we have had." and high expectations. Henrickson said that the team will succeed this season if it improves on its defense. "I am excited about where we are going." Henrickson said. "If we clean that up and we are as good as I know we can be and they buy into that and we have wedding bells on that end of the floor, we've got a chance to be really good." Edited by C.J. Matson FOOTBALL Sooners strive for perfection, not looking at Jayhawk faults ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAN, Okla. — Coach Bob Stoops' Oklahoma teams have never struggled to avoid a let-down following the Red River Rivalry. He doesn't want to start now. Stoops is 12-0 in games immediately after Texas, and he isn't putting too much into the latest blowout in the series. "It just means we've got to keep getting better." Stoops said Tuesday. After mummeling then-No. 11 Texas 55-17 on Saturday, the third-ranked Sooners (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) must prepare this week to face a Kansas (2-3, 0-2) team that has the worst defense in the nation after a 70-28 loss at No. 6 Oklahoma State last week. It's the type of game that could easily fail to get the attention of Oklahoma's players, particularly after they made such a resounding statement in a rivalry game that's anticipated all year long. But the Sooners have already been through this situation once this season. After winning at then-No. 5 Florida State, Oklahoma didn't maintain its intensity and had its worst week of practice. That carried over into the first half against Missouri, when the Sooners found themselves trailing at home for the first time in 21 games and had to rally from an 11-point deficit to win. "I believe we're past that. I think they learned a good lesson a few weeks ago, just about doing the work and being very businesslike in how we prepare and approach the game." Stoops said. "I believe they understand that the really good teams — the championship-type teams — get better through the year, and that's what we have to do this week," he said. Instead of focusing on what's been going wrong for Kansas, which ranks last in the Bowl Subdivision with 49.4 points and 556 yards allowed per game, Stoops wants his players trying to move closer to perfection "The they see the tape. I'm not going to detail it with all of us, but there's a lot we can do better, and we need to," Stoops said. "The players see that, so they're aware of it." Stoops has said he wants to see better blocking from linemen and on the perimeter in the Sooners' run game, which got a 64-yard touchdown run from Dominique Whaley but only 22 yards on the 18 remaining carries against Texas. The return of running back Brennan Clay, who was splitting time with Whaley before spraining his shoulder two weeks ago, could help that. Stoops said Clay "should" be back this week to face the Jayhawks. Stoops said he has also noticed breakdowns in pass coverage and communication on defense. And for the fifth time in the past 13 games, the Sooners gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown — the most in the BCS. We watched film on Texas, what a good win it was. But we watched and there's a lot more that we need to get better at," offensive lineman Stephen Good said. "Just seeing that is definitely motivating us to keep pushing forward and not to relax." Defensive coordinator Brent Veinables called the week leading up to the Missouri game a "prime example" of what can happen if a team has a lape. Missouri got out to a 14-3 lead in the first nine minutes before the Sooners came back to life and scored 28 straight points. "That's to take nothing away from Missouri, but it doesn't take much to get off." Venables said. Despite rallying for a 38-28 victory, Oklahoma still hasn't shaken off the perception of that game. LSU passed the Sooners to take over the No.1 ranking that week, and Alabama leapfrogged them the following week. Even walloping Texas wasn't enough to bump the Sooners back up in the rankings. "After the Missouri game, we had to bounce back. We had to make a statement, let everyone know we had a bad game that week," nickel back Tony Jefferson said. "But we bounced back and played two good games." CROSS COUNTRY Runners earn honor for personal bests "I'm really surprised but honored.

For that, they were honored as the men and women's Big 12 runners of the week on Tuesday, an achievement as the result of hard work, coaching and focus. at the same time," Wiegers said. She said she knew that the Haskell Invitational determined if she would take the trip to Wisconsin for the Adidas Invitational this weekend. She finished in second place in the 5k with a time of 19:20:00. "Those two ran great races on Saturday and I couldn't be happier they are getting recognized for their efforts," coach Stanley Redwine said. In the men's 8k race, Brendan Soucie finished fourth with a time of 26:21:21. He also hopes to run at the Adidas Invitational, which will consist of the top 12 runners on the team. Now he has something positive to take with him either way. "We had been working up to that Haskell meet for awhile so it felt really good to have a solid race," Souci said.

Football prognosticators argue over statistics of individual players to enhance their arguments, while fans, especially those who participate in fantasy football, love them because they are the basis for fantasy football competition. By C.J. Matson cjmatson@kansan.com Turnovers are the one of the most vital parts of the football because they change the complexion of every game, and it can make or break a team. A couple types of turnovers exist in football: The turnover margin is the one statistic that stands above all others that shows whether a football team has been winning or losing. **Unforced:** Luck can have a big role in turnovers. In many situations, a quarterback's pass can be deflected by a defensive player, and from there, the ball is live for anyone to catch. In some instances during a punt, a player on the receiving team unintentionally touches the live football when the ball falls from mid-air before a teammate gains control of it, which then leads to a mad scramble for the live football. Forced: This category particularly targets the offense's inability to take care of the football and the defense's ability to create turnovers. Every football team Players who catch the ball, particularly wide receivers, kick returners and running backs, will initially have control of the football when they have caught it, but then they subsequently lose it instantaneously. The defense capitalizes on the receiver's botch by catching the live ball. This is similar to when the ball-carrier simply loses control of the football and fumbles it when it is not striped from his hands, which is also an unforced error. runs specific drills about turnovers during practices, whether it's creating or limiting them. Quarterbacks are taught to not force passes into coverage, to lessen the chance of interceptions, as well as how to hold the ball when they're in the pocket and feeling pressure from the defense. For all ball carriers, they are shown how to protect the football when defense is ready to tackle them. On defense, players blitzing the quarterback are taught how to swipe at the ball when the quarterback is about to pass. Defensive players in coverage learn to anticipate the quarterback so they can correctly predict his pass and intercept it. While ball-carriers are trained to protect the ball, defensive players are trained to strip the ball from the ball-carrier's hands. Top 5 NFL teams in turnover margin: 1 Buffalo: +11 2 San Francisco: +10 T-3 Green Bay: +7 T-3 Detroit: +7 T-3 Baltimore: +7 Bottom 6 NFL teams in turnover margin: KU T-27 San Diego: -5 T-27 Kansas City: -5 T-27 Denver: -5 T-27 Miami: -5 T-31 Pittsburgh: -10 T-31 Philadelphia: -10 The top five NFL teams in turnover margin have a combined record of 21-3, and the bottom six NFL teams in turnover margin have a combined record of 11-18. It's simple. If teams create and limit turnovers, they will win. If they don't, they will lose. —Edited by Jason Bennett 体 体育 THIS WEEK IN SPORTS A T 跳跃 Tennis Sport Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon.

The issues with youth are something that no coach can fix; time and patience are the remedies. The team's defensive woes, however, do not have a solution that can be so easily defined. The defense has not only shown a lack of improvement throughout the course of this season, but it appears they have regressed in the quality of their play. The man in charge of that defense, defensive coordinator Vic Shealy, is catching a horde of concern for the defenses' 70-point performance on Saturday against Oklahoma State and throughout the season. More of that concern should come from his comment during last Tuesday's weekly Kansas football press conference. As Shealy explained the difficulties of stopping the Oklahoma State offense, he was asked about the old cliché, "Defenses win championships." Before the reporter could even finish his question Shealy cut in, responding with the statement, "Not anymore." That's not exactly a strong vote of confidence on the state of defenses in college football from a man that oversees the worst defense, statistically, in FBS football. When looking at college football championship teams since 2004, all but one of the championship winners have had a defense that ranks in the top six in either points allowed per game or yards allowed per game. The past eight years of championship football at the college level prove the exact opposite of what Shealy said. Defenses do, in fact, lead to championships. A different mindset from Shealy might be a start, as something that has to change for this defense to move forward. It's not a good sign if the defensive coordinator doesn't believe it's up to his side of the ball to win any kind of championship. Now, whether Vic Shealy deserves to be fired over what has transpired over the course of the season plays a different tune. He entered the position under very adverse circumstances, replacing the well-known Carl Torbush suddenly during the middle of the summer. Shealy did not have the opportunity to oversee his defense, one that he would soon be held responsible for in spring practice. Shealy also sits in as the fourth defensive coordinator to come through the program in many years. Firing Shealy and bringing in a fifth defensive coordinator in five years would not, in any way, help the consistency or unity of the defensive unit. And the schedule in which Shealy has faced thus far has been brutal. After Oklahoma on Saturday, he'll have faced three of the country's top six offenses in six weeks — a task that would not be easy for any coach, anywhere. It doesn't look promising for Shealy, but he has six weeks left for his defense to show improvement before he may be searching for a new job. Edited by Stefanie Penn And maybe he should look into that old adage that, "Defense wins championships," with another cliché, "History tends to repeat itself," and if Kansas football ever wants to elevate its status to a championship level, history says that it will have to start with defense.

The team went undefeated in all six games. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO UNDERDOG CROWNED HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com FISHERS, Ind. — The Kansas quiditch team entered this weekend's Midwest Cup tournament as a relative unknown. Unranked by the International Quiditch Association, the Jayhawks did not expect to advance to the second day. Six matches later, the Jayhawks remained undefended and were crowned the Midwest Cup Champion. "Kansas was amazing," said IQA commissioner Alex Benepe. "They've sort of come out of nowhere recently." The team entered the field of 18 teams Saturday morning and swept Bowling Green State University (190-10), University of Michigan (100-40), and University of Minnesota (150-0). The Kansas seekers snatches the snitch in all three day-one matches. The Jayhawks finished the first day tied for first place with Michigan State University at 390 points each. Kansas was seeded third in bracket play on day two, just behind Michigan State and the University of Pittsburgh. The Jayhawks had to wait more than half the day to play, but practiced, watched other matches and cheered on competitors to keep their energy levels up. On Sunday, the Jayhawks first faced off against No. 59 Ball State University, handing the BSU Cardinals their first loss of the season. In an extremely aggressive game, medics were called twice to enter the field. Despite the rough play, the match continued until the snitch runner and the seekers returned to the field. Kansas defeated BSU 110-90 when the BSU seeker snatched the snitch to end the game. Next, Kansas competed against undefeated No. 10 Michigan State University. The Spartans' higher level of experience was evident from the beginning of the match as they showed off an organized play style. "I am literally just on an adrenaline rush after winning," Caldwell said. However, the Jayhawks responded to the challenge by staying within two quaffle scores of the Spartans, and the teams were tied at 70-70 when the snitch runner re-entered the pitch. After chasing the snitch through the Indiana cornfields and back onto the pitch, junior Nick Caldwell, Kansas' seeker in the game, used his quickness to turn the snitch runner around and grab the snitch hanging from the runner's backside. With that victory, the team reached the championship round and faced the University of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, a Big East school, lacked the support from other midwest teams that Kansas had. The Jayhawks gathered together to sing the "Rock Chalk Chant" while other Big 12 teams joined Caldwell's snatch put the Jayhawks up 100-70 and ended the match. in Kansas traditions by waving the wheat and cheering "Midwest, Midwest." One bystander yelled, "Because Pitt isn't even from the Midwest!" The snitch took off to begin its run. The teams waited until the proms up signal was given and the match began. Pitt took the lead early putting up 30 points before Kansas could respond. Caldwell and Kansas chaser sophomore Tyler Amble led the Jayhawk offense with carefully placed passes around the tall Pittsburgh keeper guarding the hoops. The crowd cheered when the snitch runner and the seekers re-entered the pitch. Kansas was SEE QUIDDITCH 18 FOOTBALL Player to team: 'show up or shut up' MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com 84 The stage won't get any bigger for Kansas during the 2011 season. When the sun sets in Lawrence this Saturday night. Memorial Stadium will just begin to come to life. The Jayhawks will be playing under the lights at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, against the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners, with ESPN2 airing the game to a national audience. The bigger stage and opponent for Kansas increases the responsibility of the players to hold up their end of the bargain this week — a task that won't be easy, especially after the Jayhawks 70-point debacle at Oklahoma State Saturday. OSU's senior wide receiver Hubert Anyiam gets pushed out of bounds at the one yard line by Knasas' junior cornerback Greg Brown during the first quarter. The defense struggled to keep the Cowboys out of the end zone and lost 70-28 as a result. "We couldn't get them out of their rhythm like we talked about," said coach Turner Gill during a post game interview. But one player had a simple for message for how the team could take responsibility. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN "Primetime 8 p.m. versus OU, show up or shut up," junior safety Lubbock Smith wrote on the a wall in the team's meeting room, responding to the added pressure this week. "It's a matter of trying to separate the boys from men," Smith said. "We play against OU this Saturday. They're number three in the country, either you're going to show up, or you're going to shut up." He said he did not want to call out any particular players when writing the show up or shut up comment, because if they lose, they all lose together. Individual mistakes on the field are understandable, but this week people are really going to see if they are pushing forward and trying to win, Smith said. Smith said he chose not to write about forgetting the Oklahoma State game, because the game is one they cannot forget. He said he looks at failure as a chance for opportunity and that this team has an opportunity to see if they really want to play and be a great competitor or just go through the motions. Senior linebacker Steven Johnson said that the writing on the wall has been a rallying call this week for the team to stay positive. "We're staying positive as a group and it's hard to do that after the past couple of weeks," Johnson said. "When you stay positive, anything can happen. You don't want to go negative 'cause then everything will go downhill." For the layhawks, the Sooners provide an intimidating challenge. They bring in the sixth-best total offense in the country, with a defense that allows 15.6 points per game. "It's a great challenge for us, we're looking forward to it. It's one of the top offenses in the nation and they have some of the nation receivers in the nation," said Tyler Patmon, a senior defensive back. Just as Smith preached about the opportunity the Jayhawks have in the matchup against the daunting Sooners, coach Turner Gill did not "It's human nature to get excited about playing good football teams." Gill said. "We always talk deny the excitement that comes along with playing a top football team during "Prime Time" about how you only get a few opportunities, so you better make the most of them. This is another opportunity for us to try and make the best of" 1 Volume 124 Issue 37 kansan.com Thursday, October 13, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 Online courses have been trending across public universities, giving students alternative opportunities to obtain college degrees outside of the traditional setting. The report, titled "The Digital Revolution and Higher Education," surveyed 2,412 American adults and 1,055 university presidents about whether college students prefer online classes. A 2011 report by the Pew Internet and American Life project questions the effectiveness of classes taught online. The report stated that despite growing up in a digital world, "Young adults are as skeptical about online learning as are their older counterparts." Statistics from the 2011 report showed that 60 percent of the survey's respondents do not think that a class taught online offers the same educational value as the EDUCATION same class taught offline.

Sweenie took an online physics class over the summer through Butler County Community College because the University doesn't offer an online summer course. To graduate on time, Sweenie plans to take several more online classes, but this time, she'll do so through the University. The University created online summer courses in 2010. One of the reasons behind this addition to traditional on-campus classes was so any student could take classes during the summer without geographical limits.

They don't post their photos from fall break. They don't have their relationship status set. They're the people without Facebook. There's not many of them, but they do exist. On a college campus, not having a Facebook is an anomaly. But for some, the decision to not participate in this social networking site has been well-thought out. "in real life," and they are wary about privacy issues. Rationales for non-Facebook users may vary, but there seems to be reoccurring themes in their reasoning for not jumping on the Facebook bandwagon. Natalie Pennington, a doctoral student from Springfield, Mo., studying communications, said many people who don't use Facebook avoid the site because they would rather communicate "I think that people have a misconception of privacy online, and I think regardless anytime you use something online you're going to leave a footprint," Pennington said. Brett Bricker, a doctoral student from Wichita also studying communications, has chosen not to use Facebook. His initial impression was that the site was a waste of time, but he also wanted to keep his privacy, especially when it comes to future employers. "I'm not really too happy with, you know, the prospect of people knowing all the things I do in my personal life," Bricker said. While those who don't participate in Facebook think the site's disadvantages outweigh the advantages, there are still ways Facebook can be used effectively. Pennington said users who decrease their number of friends could benefit from Facebook. Fewer friends means less chance for distraction as well as a greater chance of social support with those friends with whom the user is actually close. "You can read about a person online who you haven't talked to in a really long time, and they're going through something you've gone through and you can sympathize with them. phrased it, scrub their profiles, cleaning up histories and erasing compromising photos.

Edited by Jayson Jenks CAMPUS Orientation assistants receive more than a job DANA MEREDITH dmeredith@kansan.com Last summer, Eman Siddiqui went through new student orientation. Then she went through it again and again and again, 15 times in all. Siddiqui, a senior from Karachi, Pakistan, worked for the University as an orientation assistant, one of 23 undergraduates helping freshmen, transfer students and their parents transition into life as a Jayahawk. "What we really want is that when somebody comes to orientation, if they look up at the orientation assistants onstage, they are able to identify with somebody in the group," said Chris Stoppel, interim director of New Student Orientation. "It's not a position that you have to be the president of your organization to do. You just really have to have a passion for KU." The Office of New Student Orientation (NSO) is looking for orientation assistants for next year. Students from all walks of campus life are encouraged to apply. After reviewing applications, the NSO Office invites some applicants back for a group interview, then a speech interview and — for those who make it far enough — a final interview. It's a process designed to evaluate how applicants interact with one another, how they communicate professionally and who they are as individuals, Stoppel said. Orientation assistants jump in with three weeks of intensive training right after the school year ends. They get a crash course in everything within the University — from academic departments to campus organizations to student services. After training ends, orientation sessions start. Orientation assistants work 40-hour work-weeks during the summer, guiding students and family members through orientation while preparing folders and other materials for the next session. "When I was going through training, I learned about so many services that I didn't even know we had," Ramona Yoder, a sophomore from Newton, said. It's a whirlwind of new information. "Not only are they relating what they know about KU, but they're finding out even more what KU can do for them," Stopel said. Stoppled said increased awareness about the University is one of the biggest perks of the job. It's a structured job, but each Orientation assistants end up becoming a tight-knit group, Yoder said, hanging out together on the weekends after spending most of the week together. Last summer, the orientation assistants went to a Royals game, the Country Club Plaza and the pool and held a lot of birthday parties. week brings new experiences and new people - 700 to 800 of them. "It's the same routine, but there are always different things coming at you," Yoder said. "Different questions, different people, different moods." "Before, my social circle was just limited to other architecture students," she said. "Now, I know people from all years, all majors." Siddiqui said getting to know the other orientation assistants was one of her favorite parts of the job. There's a transfer student session every January before the semester starts, and the NSO Office is finding ways to keep orientation assistants busy throughout the school year. "We're able to hire such a talented group of students that it seems like we should be using them more." Stoppel said. The orientation assistant position doesn't end when the summer's over. Index CLASSIFIEDS 8 CROSSWORD 4 Yoder said that she still hasn't decided about returning for another year, but was "80/20 — 80 percent chance I'll come back, 20 percent chance I won't." Stoppel said many students like the position so much they reapply for a second or third year. But they don't automatically get to return, he said, because the NSO Office wants the students to make sure another option — such as an internship or studying abroad — wouldn't be more beneficial. Rock Chalk Chow Downs Siddliqui will be returning next year for a fifth year of school, but plans on spending her summer in an architecture-related internship. But she encouraged interested students to apply for the position. CRYPTOQUIPS 4 OPINION 5 "If I had more time, I would do it again," she said.

Associated Press NEWS AROUND THE WORLD --- MEXICO CITY The number of Central American migrants crossing Mexico to reach the United States has dropped almost 70 percent over the last five years, the Mexican government said Tuesday. Immigration Commissioner Salvador Beltran del Rio said the estimate is based on the decline in the number of Central Americans detained for being in Mexico without proper documents. He said there were 433,000 such detentions in 2005 and 140,000 last year. The downward trend has continued in the first eight months of 2011, added Beltran, who initially revealed the numbers during a Monday conference on migrant issues. Mexico's government released his comments Tuesday. Beltran said Central Americans crossing Mexico are facing increased risks of extortion, kidnapping and violence because organized crime has moved into mirant trafficking. In one of the worst attacks, 72 migrants were slaughtered in the northern border state of Tamaulipas by a cell of the Zetas drug cartel in August 2010. Most were Central Americans. The kidnapping of Central American migrants has been reported for years by migrant rights activists in Mexico. JOHANNESBURG Evan van der Spuy, 16, was competing in a weekend race in a wildlife park when a leaping hartebeest, an antelope that can weigh up to 350 pounds (more than 200 kilograms), crashed into him, race organizer Max Cuer said in an interview Wednesday. A South African mountain biker's collision with an antelope became an Internet sensation with uncommon speed and international reach, YouTube said Wednesday. Cluer says van der Spuy was not badly hurt and the harbeste returned to his herd to graze. Johannesburg's Beel newspaper quoted van der Spuy as saying he was briefly knocked unconscious and spent a night in the hospital. He said he remembers little, but has "the broken helmet to prove" the wild encounter happened. Video by a fellow rider — punctuated by an off-camera exclamation of "holy cow!" — was posted on YouTube on Monday and had been viewed more than 5 million times by Wednesday, when it was the most shared and most viewed video in both South Africa and the United States. YouTube Trends Manager Kevin Allocca told The Associated Press the video started gaining views on Monday morning and by the end of the day had been viewed 1.8 million times. THIMPHU. BHUTAN Children composed poems of joy, flight attendants and bank clerks practiced celebratory dances and the airwaves were flooded with wedding fever as the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan prepared for the marriage of its beloved fifth Dragon King. The ceremony Thursday, while far less star-studded than the year's other royal wedding — of William and Kate — will be no less elaborate in its uniquely Bhutanese way. "it's the biggest occasion I'll ever see in my life," said Tshewang Rinzin, 27, a loan officer. The couple will be married by Bhutan's top Buddhist cleric at the country's most sacred monastery fortress in the old capital of Punakha at an auspicious time determined by astrologers. During the hours of ceremonies, the 31-year-old king, Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, will be adorned with royal scarves. His bride, 21-year-old Jetsun Pema, will present him a chalice filled with the ambrosia of eternal life that he will drink, and he will place a crown upon the new queen's head. "It's a very emotional experience, a spiritual experience as well," Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley told The Associated Press. Yet there will be no foreign princes, no visiting heads of state and no global celebrities. MOSCOW Animal rights activists urged Russia's president Wednesday to reject a plan by Moscow authorities to send 26,000 stray dogs to a facility outside the city that critics say will be cramped, spread disease and mean certain death for many of the canines. About 50 activists lined up outside the presidential administration building to submit signed petitions to President Dmitry Medvedev denouncing the move. "We've come here today to ask him to protect Moscow's dogs," said Yelena Nadyozhkina, an activist with Russian group Save the Animals. KANSAS Though City Hall has shelved the plan for now, the activists want assurances that it will be abandoned once and for all. Moscow's plan would have rounded up straps and sent them to a camp in the Yaroslavl region, about 250 kilometers (150 miles) northeast of the city. Its critics say the move would be deadly for the animals and create an atmosphere for the misappropriation of city funds. "It's far enough from Moscow that we won't be able to go there, observe them or control how the animals are fed and taken care of," said Ludymila Fokina, a volunteer at one of Moscow's animal shelters. "The animals will just die there. We won't know about it, and the money will continue to finance the facility." ASSOCIATED PRESS DA to review domestic abuse cases individually TOPEKA — A district attorney in Kansas said Wednesday that his office will review all misdemeanor domestic violence cases forwarded to him by the Topeka police and determine on a case-by-case basis which ones merit press charges. Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor, who had announced last month that he would no longer pursue such cases, said in a statement Wednesday that he now has "sole authority" over them after the city of Topeka voted to repeal a local domestic violence ordinance. "We will do so with less staff, less resources, and severe constraints on our ability to effectively seek justice," Taylor said. "But we will do so willingly to preserve the public safety of all the citizens of Shawnee County." Taylor said in September that his decision to stop prosecuting misdemeanors committed inside Topeka was because of budget cuts. He contends that the county commission forced his hand by reducing the budget by 10 percent for 2012, when his office is swamped by felony cases. City leaders argue that Topeka can't afford to replicate county services for domestic That comes a day after the mayor and council of Kansas' capital city repealed Topeka's ordinance against domestic violence, a dramatic turn in their attempt to force the county to back away from its earlier decision. Advocates for victims of domestic violence had decried those moves as ones that would hurt public safety and put people who were already scared at greater risk. abuse victims or rent jail space from the county for suspects. The city already handles misdemeanor cases of simple assault and battery, and incidents of assault or battery against its police officers. Domestic assault or battery involves a person in the same household, and victims often need additional services or shelter. Since early September, Topeka has had at least 35 reported incidents of domestic battery or assault, and those cases are not being pursued. As of Friday, 21 people jailed have been released without facing charges, according to Topeka police. Prosecutors and police have refused to discuss details of the cases out of concern for victims' privacy, making it difficult to assess in what situations suspects aren't being prosecuted. A Topeka police spokeswoman said officers had continued to investigate cases of domestic violence and prepare reports that were being forwarded for prosecution, even after Taylor's announcement last month. City spokesman Dave Bevens said that interim City Manager Dan Stanley sent Taylor a note Wednesday regarding the cases in hopes of continuing discussions to find a solution.

CAMPUS Pay raises for faculty and staff in 2012 BOBBY BURCH bburch@kansan.com University faculty and staff members can expect a pleasant surprise in their paychecks next January — that is, if their boss thinks they deserve it. Last summer, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a $4.6 million pool from which University departments can allocate wage increases to eligible faculty and staff based on merit, said Gavin Young. University provost communications coordinator. "The key to the proposal to the Regents was for the University to be able to reward excellence in teaching, research and leadership," Young said. Diane Duffy, vice president of finance and administration for the Kansas Board of Regents, said in an email that the pay raises attempt to maintain quality instruction at the University. As opposed to an "across-theboard" raise for University faculty and staff, the merit pool will allow deans and supervisors to reward those who have consistently worked well in their department. "Targeted salary increases are based upon merit and retaining excellence among the highly productive faculty and staff." Duffy wrote. The wage increases, which are the University's first since the summer of 2008, will average about two percent for faculty and professional staff. The actual percentage increase in pay will depend upon an individual's performance in multi-year evaluations, but typically ranges between zero and five percent. Student tuition and fees will fund the faculty and staff raises. University support staff, which includes employees in facilities and operations, will receive a $500 across-the-board raise in salary, in addition to a 0.5 percent merit "It has been three years now, and there have been no changes in salary for anyone. So this is a step toward some recognition." DOUGLAS HOUSTON Associate dean of the School of Business pool. Young said that the University is still arranging how the money will be divided a m o n g s t schools and departments, but plans on finalizing the amounts in the upcoming weeks. The merit pool, which will come into effect after the New Year, has pleased some University deans who will be responsible for allocating the new funds. Douglas Houston, associate dean of academic affairs for the School of Business, said the availability of funds to increase faculty and staff wages will help acknowledge exceptional employees at the University. "It helps people to know that good performance is well-regarded," Houston said. "It has been three years now, and there have been no changes in salary for anyone. So this is a step toward some recognition." Edited by Jennifer DiDonato REALITY SUCKS GMU COLLEGE DISCOUNT LUCKILY THE GM COLLEGE DISCOUNT DOESN'T.

McClatchy Tribune TELEVISION Episode to air on 'Co-Ed Butcher' I MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE The slayings committed by Edmund Emil Kemper III — who is 6 feet 9 inches tall and dubbed "Big Ed" or "The Co-Ed Killer" SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — A new television documentary will air Friday about a man convicted of killing eight women, including his mother, grandmother and a pair of University of California Santa Cruz students in a murder spree that ended in 1973. — were part of a grim series of mass murder investigations in the county in the 1970s. "The Co-Ed Butcher" is an episode of the weekly series "Twisted" that will air at 10 p.m. EDT Friday on the channel Investigation Discovery. The episode was shot by a British crew that visited Santa Cruz County in May and interviewed investigators, defense attorneys and others who tracked Kemper. It aired in Great Britain and was later adapted for American TV, said Charlotte Bigford, a publicist for Investigation Discovery. "Even if I were a local watching it again and again, it lives up to the name — it is a twisted thing to watch," Bigford said. After a series of psychological tests, authorities released Kemper at age 21. He followed his mother to UCSC, where she worked. Kemper, now 62, was convicted of killing eight women from 1964 to 1973. He was born in Burbank and killed his grandmother at age 15 after an argument. He told authorities he wanted to see how it would feel to kill her. Kemper got a job with the state highway department and befriended police while he resumed his killings. He picked up two UCSC students who needed a ride and killed them — cutting their bodies into pieces and burying body parts in the backyard of his apartment, authorities said. Former Watsonville police chief Terry Medina, who was a detective with the Sheriff's Office in 1972, investigated the murders and was interviewed for the documentary. Later that year, Kemper led authorities to a head buried at his home, body parts off Summit Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains and other locations. Medina said it triggered some lurid memories from that era — but that happens often, he said. In part because Kemper was friendly with law enforcement, the murders were not pinned on him until he called Santa Cruz authorities from a Colorado pay phone to confess in 1973. "You can't drive around too much without passing something or seeing something that reminds you of some homicide or another from those days," Medina said. He said the filmmakers worked hard to talk to talk to people involved in Kemper's case — from state psychologists to a former Santa Cruz Sentinel reporter who covered the body discoveries and the trial. Former UCSC police chief Micky Aluffi, another investigator, also was interviewed for the program. Astronauts do not recommend toothpaste as space food.

Sean Powers CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK As a country music singer for decades, you can all but guarantee that Hank Williams Jr. has a pretty strong set of traditional values. Why else would an artist name one of his songs "If the South Would Have Won?" Mentioning everything he would do had the South won the Civil War, Williams says Where was Hank Williams Jr. during the opening of Monday Night Football? Well, I certainly know where he wasn't. After opening Monday Night Football with "All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight" for as long as I can remember, Williams was ousted by ESPN and Disney because of comments he made comparing Obama to Hitler on none other than "Fox & Friends." Now, it is pretty easy to see how such uproar would result from the comparison, especially since the comparison was made on the Fox network. Everyone took their opportunity to jump all over Williams for his ignorance, but can we really blame him? Hold it. He didn't compare Obama to anybody. He simply compared the golf pairing of President Obama and House Speaker Rep. John Boehner to another pairing of historically conflicting figures. Those figures just happened to be Adolf Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He was simply trying to say that you would not see the two golfing together. Don't hold that against Hank, though. Hitler is probably one of about five political names that he knows. Perhaps he should have used the comparison of "a dog and a cat eating out of the same bowl."

Hank Williams Jr. decided that a retaliation song would suffice in showing America how pissed off he really is. After calling the U.S. the "United Socialist States of America," he sings "I'll keep my Christian name and y'all can keep the change." First of all, I have a hard time believing that somebody singing about horseshoes and whiskey for about half a century can even describe socialism to another person. Secondly, I had no idea that it was Christian to wish that slavery was still around. I can't quite understand why he takes shots at Obama and the U.S. in the new song, though, since it was Disney and ESPN who gave him the boot. It is probably the President's fault that Williams got fired, though. Obama probably runs Disney, right? hed be running for President and declaring the day Elvis died as a national holiday. As if the abolition of slavery were not enough for me to be satisfied with the North, I now find Ulysses S. Grant to be a hero. Without even knowing it, he kept Hank Williams Jr. from running the country. What a great man. idmoreland @UDK.

Kansas State's defensive line motivates team with spirit ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — The most significant improvement in the Kansas State defense this season can't be found by scouring the stat sheet. Sure, this year's unit ranks 17th in the country and stops opponents on third down nearly 70 percent of the time, but those numbers are merely manifestations of a larger change that has taken place since Bill Snyder came out of retirement for his second tenure as head coach. "If you remember two years ago when we first got started, I was really concerned about the spirit of our football team," Snyder said. "Last year, I still had some — but not as much — concern about the spirit of our football team. Defensively, we have begun to express that spirit a little bit more." The result is the first 5-0 start for the No. 17 Wildcats since 2000, and a lot of momentum heading into Saturday's game at Texas Tech. Wide receiver Chris Harper knew the Wildcats had changed from the start of the first padded practice this fall. The offense was a little sluggish, but the defense came out fired up and that carried over to the rest of the team. Some of the best practices since then, Harper said, have been when the defense sets the tone for the rest of the team. "They've always got some kind of energy," Harper said. "As far as bringing the spirit to this team, they're the catalyst for us. We kind of feed off of them." Center B.J. Finney sees the camaraderie within the defense as a primary reason for the unit's success on the field. Players hang out together in the locker room. They crank up the energy level with chants before games. All of that inspires the offense to join in the fun. That enjoyment translates directly to the field on Saturdays. "Getting a huge stop just lets us know that the defense has our back," Finney said. "Now it's time to show them that we have theirs." Through five games, Wildcats have allowed only 13 touchdowns. They've held opponents to fewer than 300 yards per game and limited them to 24 minutes of possession. Both of those stats are among the best in the nation. Snyder is always a little suspicious of numbers. But the Wildcats forced Missouri into three- and-out on four of 11 possessions last Saturday, the red zone defense has allowed only five touchdowns in five games and Kansas State is stopping opponents from converting on third down at an incredible rate. Kansas State routinely had some of the best defenses in the country during Snyder's first tenure as head coach, and he's the first to point out there is much work to be done if this year's unit wants to reach the same lofty level. But he also knows that this team is trying All of that is enough to please the veteran head coach. to define itself, and that preaching too much about the past takes some of the focus off the present. That's why Snyder doesn't spend too much time talking about Kansas State's history on defense. After all, many of the players aren't old enough to remember those teams. "After a while, you get tired of hearing about the way it used to be," Snyder said. "You want to hear about how it is right now, so I'm a little more focused on that than I am past history. I think it's important for them to make their own history. That's what they'll remember in time."

As Goodrich continued talking with a reporter, Mays nodded and tried to fight off laughter. Goodrich sat, poised and professional, ignoring Mays. Staying focused despite distraction is a specialty for Goodrich, a point guard from Tahlequah, Okla. She has not had an easy career so far at Kansas. She tore her ACL during the second practice of her freshman year, and she did so again the next season. However, when healthy, she is one of the Jayhawks leaders. "Angel has always been someone "Even when she doesn't think I am looking, I am looking at her and seeing how I can improve my game." KEENA MAYS Sophomore guard who, behind closed doors or away from everybody, says the right things and leads by example," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Goodrich started all 27 games she played in last season and led the conference in assists with 6.3 per game. Henrickson said she is never late to practice and is always where she needs to be. "I don't think I have ever yelled at Angel. Honestly, I don't think I have," Henrickson said. "You talk about the model of consistency from how she practices to how she plays. That is exactly who you want all your kids to be." Last season, Goodrich was named the team's best defender, received the Sheahon Zenger Leadership Award and was a V Foundation Comeback Award finalist. "Those awards that she won — we nominated her and voted for her." Mays said. "She is definitely a leader on the team." Goodrich said the awards mean a lot, but she is just as happy to be a leader and an example for the team. "I want to be a leader to where we push and we make that bar," she said. "I want to be someone they look up to and respect and come talk to for help." Mays said she goes to Goodrich for help and sees her as an example to model her game after. "I don't know if she knows it, but I look up to her a lot," Mays said. "Even when she doesn't think I am looking, I am looking at her and seeing how I can improve my game." The Jayhawks are predicted to finish seventh in the Big 12 Conference by the coaches. On Oct. 31, Goodrich will get her first chance of the year to lead the Jayhawks to what they hope will be their first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2000.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops on Monday's Big 12 teleconference in regards to running up the score --- FACT OF THE DAY Kansas won the first eight matchups with Oklahoma from 1903 to 1910. 一 KU Athletics Metal: a new element of possibility TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: What is Kansas' largest margin of victory against Oklahoma? A: 34-0 KU Athletics --- MORNING BREW A a couple of days ago I watched the Detroit Tigers' designated hitter Victor Martinez crush a solo home run to right field in the fourth inning of game three of the ALCS. It was at this moment I started to think about how fun it would be to see major leaguers take swings with a metal bat. I mean, if 16-year-old Bryce Harper could crush one 570 feet, and Mickey Mantle could hit multiple bombs more than 550 feet with a wooden bat, just think about what Albert Pujols or Robinson Cano could do to the ball. I'm pretty sure the cover would be torn off. By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com With a busy 162-game season, it would be nearly impossible for Major League Baseball to incorporate anything like this into the schedule, but I think I have a solution. During All-Star weekend, the home run derby is always a fan favorite. Every year, eight of the biggest bats are chosen to participate. The objective is simple: to see how many home runs a player can hit (and how far he can hit them) with 10 outs allowed per round. In the past, wooden bats have always been used in this event, but the MLB could make it exclusive to metal bats. After all, the point is to hit the ball far, have fun and put on a show for fans. By using a metal bat instead of a wooden one, we would see baseballs go distances we never thought possible. This competition would not affect any part of the regular season, thus making it an enjoyable night at the ballpark for both players and fans. Of course, there are some precautions to consider in order to make this a realistic possibility. Fan safety would be the main concern. If a player were to foul off a ball, there's always a chance that a fan could be struck by it. This could be dangerous, even potentially fatal, considering how much faster the ball would travel into the stands. However, this setback could be fixed by adding more netting around the infield seat, like in the ballparks in Japan. And, of course, there's always the chance that a team's star player could be injured or alter his swing by using a metal bat. The bottom line is: We've all seen little league, high school and college athletes play with metal bats, but we've never seen them used at the professional level. If the MLB wants to add an exciting element to an already exhilarating home run derby, using metal bats would certainly do just that. Will this happen? Probably then again he shouldn't enter the competition if he doesn't want to take that risk. not. But it doesn't hurt to dream about seeing this happen someday. I'm sure I'm not the only fan out there who would want to see if a baseball player could send one to the moon, let alone out of the park.

But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. KANSAS 23 COMMENTARY From what I witnessed first-hand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. Situation not good for Gill Nevertheless, last season's woes were understandably attributed to a new staff implementing a new system while bringing in their own players. Another year with the staff and continued improvement from young players was supposed to soften the blows in the razor-sharp Big 12 this season. Instead, fans see an offense that went from bad to better-than-average and a defense that fighting to not go down as the worst of all time. And there's no hyperbole there. folks. By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com Some time between the 35th Oklahoma State point of the first quarter last Saturday and the ninth or tenth "We just need to keep improving" quote from coach Turner Gill, something became painstakingly clear: Gill's clock is ticking. FALLING FLAT, AGAIN His first season could be written off as the beginning of a major rebuilding job, but you can't forget the embarrassments. They're simply too big to hide. A 6-3 loss to an FCS level team. A 59-7 drubbing at the hands of Baylor. Not Oklahoma or Texas, but Baylor. Not to mention the combined 94-14 score against State and Minnesota. But it isn't just the losing. No, it's the weekly embarrassments. Short of the galaxies aligning just right, giving up a combined 111 points to Kansas State and Baylor shouldn't be acceptable for any team in the Big 12. The Big 12 is tough. Real tough, but it can't what he was getting into when he signed on at Kansas. Not that he would ever make excuses, either. He's too much of a class-act for that. But unfortunately being a stand-up guy and a successful football coach don't always go hand in hand. Now as year two nears the halfway mark, two schools (Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State) have already set numerous school records on the Kansas defense. Oklahoma State pulled its starting quarterback in the second quarter to get his backup some game time. That rarely happens against the McNeese States of the world, let alone in a Big 12 conference game. Unfortunately for fans, the Big 12 schedule is just picking up. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN 0.5 in the Pin 12 The KU defense gets caught off guard during an attack by Missouri during last night's match at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo. Kansas lost three sets to one. It is now 12-6 and 0-5 in the Big 12. BUMPS IN BIG 12 PLAY MATT GALLOWAY MART BALLETTON galloway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_vball The volleyball team traveled to Columbia, Mo., yesterday looking for answers after a winless start to Big 12 play. Despite strong individual performances, the team may have left the Show-Me State with more questions than answers. A late surge came up short for the slumping jayhawks (12-6. 0-5) as they fell to the Tigers (15- 7, 2-4) in four sets, 21-25, 24-26, 25-20, 26-28. "It's a pretty significant disappointment," coach Ray Bechard said. "We had a sustainable lead in game four, had a lot of great volleyball game in the end, but we couldn't make enough plays to win at the end. It's becoming a bit of a reoccurring theme." After dropping the first two sets, the Jayhawks rallied to win the third in decisive fashion. The team went on a four point run that was capped off by a set-winning block from junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree. With their backs against the wall, the Jayhawks jumped out to an 8-2 lead in the fourth set. However, the Tigers would hang around long enough to put together a 9-1 rally to take the lead, 21-20. The Jayhawks were still in a position to win the set twice, serving up 24-23 and 25-24, but the Tigers would dig themselves out of the holes. The decisive kill from Missouri freshman outside hitter Emily Wilson went wide, but the line judge ruled that a Jayhawk had touched it on the way out. The Tigers would outdig the Jayhawks for the game, 65-55. Bechard said the team has to develop a killer instinct when they serve for the match point. He said that maintaining a consistently aggressive mentality is a challenge. "It's like being at the free thrown line down one with one second left," Bechard said. "It's different than it is with 10 minutes left, but you have to go through the same mechanics, same thought process, and you have to get the same result." The Jayhawks got eight aces including two from three sepat rate players.

Patmon had four tackles against OSU along with a defensive pass interference while in the end zone during the second quarter. The Oklahoma State fans that stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. 4 Kansas was a 27-point victory against Louisiana Lafayette. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before The week before, Kansas scored 34 points against Texas Tech. Those 34 points should have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 teams and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. "When it comes down to it, it's consistency," Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." r x It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. "The past two days, our defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know Vol they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks' defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call. — Edited by Aiexandra Esposito Volume 124 Issue 39 Monday, October 17, 2011 kansan.com THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK SPECIAL SECTION Health on the Hill Learn how to maintain your grades, life and well-being.

EDU 101KS NOISE EDITOR'S NOTE Aside from the girl who I saw wearing my clothes in Facebook pictures freshman year, I've lucked out when it comes to my college roommates. And then last year happened. A group of girlfriends and I signed a lease on a big seven-bedroom house downtown. The problem came when one girl backed out on us and we had to turn to the sketchiest of methods to replace her last minute: Craigslist. The 36-year-old woman looking to exchange house cleaning for a place to live inquired, the single mom needing to get back on her feet tried to bargain with us and then we heard from a handful of KU students — all guys. Following a seemingly normal first impression, a 27-year-old male undergraduate who I'll call Craigslist (and did call Craigslist while living with him) became our seventh wheel. It didn't take long for Craigslist and his surround-sound sexcapades, rank cooking, griminess and blaring, crappy music to make our spacious setup seem like a claustrophobic bachelor pad. Living with a guy, we knew we needed to lay Civil conversation quickly escalated into passive-aggressive notes on the whiteboard: "If you have a pen, clean the bathroom." "Get a hotel room or a quieter girlfriend." One roommate even got so fedup with Craiglist's dirty dishes that she hid them under the porch for at least five days. Our immature answers to living in a yearlong episode of "The Real World" provided nothing other than a good laugh every once in a while and maybe a way to stay sane while sharing a home with a dude from the Internet. We really just made things worse. Sometimes, a little more patience and communication can go a long away. Other times, you might just be living with a crazy person. SARAH CHAMP | ASSOCIATE EDITOR a few ground rules, most of which pertained to the bathroom. Aside from that, we figured that living with a 27-year-old surely meant he was capable of being a considerate, fully functional adult. We were wrong.

KJHK caller asks: My girlfriend likes it when I tickle or gently stroke her back side, but she's not sure about anal sex. Do I continue with the tickling or would it be OK try something more? I really don't want to get a slap upside my head, but would like to explore all sexual possibilities with her. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks! Michelle answers: The introduction of a "taboo" sex act like anal sex can be tricky. But anal play can be very pleasurable for both parties involved. Remember, men can enjoy anal play just as much as women - but we'll save that for another column! I always say, "Try it! If you don't like it, then you don't have to do it again!" Every partner is different. The same sex play you did not enjoy before may be extremely satisfying with a new partner! If your girlfriend is interested in trying something more than tickling or stroking, try these tips: 2) Create a calm and relaxed environment. Use various extended foreplay techniques: bathing together, erotic massage, oral sex, or stroking, caressing and licking the backside. 1) Discuss and gauge her interest level. If she is doing it just to please you, the experience may not be enjoyable for either party. Enthusiasm is a key ingredient in sexual satisfaction! 3) Begin exploration with sex toys designed especially for anal play. These can include vibrators, beads or dilators. Introduce the play slowly with plenty of lubrication. As some of these toys have multiple uses (both anal and vaginal), remember to always thoroughly clean the toy after use in each area. 4) Always have on hand a variety of lubrication! Try water based and silicone lubrication. Silicone lubrication will not absorb as easily into the skin and is ideal for anal sex play. However, never use silicone lubrication with silicone sex toys! This combination will destroy your toys! 5) If you try everything and she does not respond positively, don't continue to pressure her! Anal play is only one aspect of sexual exploration.

CHRISTINE CURTIN HOW WE MET // KRISTAN TINOCO AND DAMIAN MORA > All great relationships had to start somewhere. Twelve-year-old kids often act like they're too cool for just about anything, which is exactly how Damian Mora, a senior from Kansas City, reacted when he met Kristan Tinoco, also a senior from Kansas City. Kristan and Damian first met in seventh grade while at a Bishop Miege High School football game. Although they went to different schools, they had mutual friends and ended up approaching each other at the game. "I had a crush on him initially, but he wasn't having it at first," Kristan says. "He was being kind of stupid because we were in seventh grade and he was trying to be cool around his friends." Damian even admits that although he knew Kristan liked him, he didn't really want anything to do with it. "I talked to her for about five seconds and then went back to my friends and said, 'No, I don't like her,'" Damian says. But that wasn't the end of it. Damian and Kristan saw each other at dance mixers for their two schools, and eventually started having more friendly conversations. They started dating shortly after. Now that Damian and Kristan have been dating for eight years, it's safe to say he isn't too cool anymore to admit he likes her. CHRISTINE CURTIN FRIENDSHIP The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout.

Contributed photo Playing It Cool: Damian acted like he didn't want anything to do with Kristan when they met in seventh grade.

But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly.

Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team.

He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know 4 they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday.

CONTACT WASTE WHEN YOUR FRIENDSHIP TAKES A TURN FOR THE WORSE Photo by Travis Young Good friend gone bad: A simple lack of communication can ruin a friendship. ❤ During his junior year of college, Ben Pera, a senior from Chicago, lived with a roommate who didn't speak. Pera's roommate didn't have a physical ailment, but rather his girlfriend broke up with him and he chose to keep his emotions bottled up. Weeks passed and the only words that he uttered were: "hello" and "goodbye." "It was really annoying to have to live with someone like that because it puts a downer on everyone else's moods," Pera says. The emotionally unhealthy environment of his house left Pera a victim of what Florence Isaacsa, author of Toxic Friends/True Friends: How Your Friends Can Make or Break Your Health, Happiness, Family, and Career, would call a "toxic friendship." Unlike healthy friendships, there is no balance between friends; one is constantly giving but doesn't receive anything in return. "A toxic friendship is regularly unsupportive, unrewarded, unsatisfying, draining or unequal," Isaacsa says. Maintaining a toxic relationship can take a toll on your mental health, so learning how to spot and handle one is crucial. SPOTTING A CULPRIT Toxic friends come in all forms. Here are three of the most common types: THE DRAMA QUEEN This is the friend who thrives on drama and Melanie Gorman, blogger and vice president of a relationship advice blog, yourtango. com, says that these friends use drama to hide their insecurities." ["Drama] is a distraction so that we don't have to look at our real lives or ourselves," she says: "People create drama to deal with boredom and not deal with the real stuff." Next time a friend bombards you with a questionable story, Gorman says it's best to gently ask if it really happened that way. It's not mistrustful, but rather a way to dissect the facts and understand if they're hiding something. THE BACKSTABBER A backstabbing friend is someone who will sacrifice you and your reputation to better him or herself. His or her needs come first; the friendship comes second. Fatou Bayo, a senior from Michigan, was in a toxic friendship with her high school friend. "She wanted to be accepted by everybody, so throwing people under the bus wasn't a problem for her as long as the people she wanted to be accepted by were OK with it." Bao says. Gorman says is sometimes necessary in this relationship. After confronting her, Bayo decided that there was too much distance between them to try and salvage the friendship, something that Before calling it quits, though, Gorman suggests examining the friendship. Did you do something to make them mad or hurt them? If the answer is no, Gorman says it's best to end things since you can't change them. THE USER Before you overreact, Isaacs says to approach the friend and express your concern. "Often times, the person didn't have any malice; they didn't realize they were doing something that would annoy you," she says. Friends who use you make you suspicious of your role in the friendship. Maybe they're constantly taking advantage of your generous employee discount. Whatever the method, they make you question their loyalty. More than likely, he or she will apologize and things will return to normal. But, if your friend continues to use you, it might be time to reexamine the friendship. CALLING IT QUITS If you have determined that a friendship is irreparable, it's time to break up with your friend. You should approach things in a mature manner and use "I" statements to avoid attacking the person. "Eras the word 'you' from your vocabulary," Isaacs says. "You aren't saying, 'You borrowed a sweater and got a stain on it.' When you use the word 'you' in that way, the other person gets defensive." Don't be afraid to bring up your needs either. Tell the friend what you feel is missing and see if he or she's willing to compromise. If not, then they were, indeed, toxic. But if they do, it signifies a true friend. "With your soul-mate friends, you can be exactly who you are around them, in your big-girl panties with no makeup and bawling your eyes out, and they're going to love you anyway," Gorman says. "Those who are truly your friends, they'll be your friend forever." IT'S NOT YOU; IT'S ME What to do if you recognize that you're the toxic friend: Before you run to apologize to your friend, talk to someone who you trust. Tell him or her that you sense a toxic element to your personality and ask if he or she has noticed. "If you get a secondary validation, dig deeper and figure out where it comes from," says Gorman. "What's the need being met by manifesting this negative quality?" Try and understand the underlying cause. Maybe it stems from childhood insecurities or maybe it has to do with the environment in which you're living. Regardless of the cause, remember that it's always possible to change your ways.

The "Russian Jayhawk," as the small carving has come to be known, was a gift of gratitude from an unknown Russian prisoner of war to Conrad Hoffman, a Kansas alumnus working with the YMCA in Germany during World War I. On Wednesday evening, he made another journey, this time to the offices of the department of Slavic languages and literatures in Wescоe Hall, where we'll live for one year in a glass display case. It's a symbol of the long-standing connection between the University and its students doing good in Russian and Eastern Europe, said Marc Greenberg, chairman of the Slavic group. The YMCA post was "an important non-governmental service performing a moral and social function during the First World War," Greenberg wrote in his article "Hoffman's Hawk." Hoffman went to Germany in 1915, and it was common for him to receive presents, said the article, from the thankful prisoners who he worked with. A gift of gratitude In 1913, Conrad Hoffman became the secretary of the YMCA at the University, leaving his position as a professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS // > If you're going to do it, be smart There is a biological clock located in a cluster of cells in the hypothalamus of the brain where the circadian (daily) ups and downs of physiological processes, including sleep and wakefulness occur, according to the Harvard health publication. Midday naps can re-energize our bodies to get us through the remainder of the day, says Roger Roubal, DDS, at Advanced TMJ and Sleep Center in Omaha. It's common to have a little "hump" of midafternoon sleepiness programmed into our brains, according to a 2009 Harvard health publication. Napping is beneficial, but it is an indicator that you are not sleeping enough or not sleeping well at night. "It's kind of nature's way in trying to catch-up." Roubal says. But, it is better to take a nap than not. Limiting naps to 45 minutes will give you some restorative sleep, but it will also prevent you from getting into rapid eye movement.

Photos by Kylie Nutt Reebok Nick Colbert, a sophomore from Overland Park, says he prefers to wear tennis shoes because they give him fewer blisters and are more comfortable. Joni Chastain, a senior from Burleson, Texas, loves wearing flip-flops because they're low maintenance. However, her feet often hurt because flip-flops typically have little cushion and padding. After a painless incident with a pair of joyful sandals, Alisha Kidd, a sophomore from Overland Park, now wears Sperry Top-Siders while on campus. 1234567890 Eileen Remley, a senior from Concordia, Kan., switched from flip-flops to a more comfortable pair of boots now that the weather is getting chilly "The way you walk affects the rest of your skeleton," says Johannah Youner, a podiatrist at her private practice in New York. Feet have an effect on your knees, hips, back, posture and joints. As you get older, your body can wear down quicker if you do not wear shoes that have support and cushioning. Your feet combined have 52 bones, containing 25 percent of all the bones in your body, but only one-quarter of adults regularly care for their feet, according to a 2010 survey by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Youner specializes in women's foot issues along with common foot ailments. Heels and the back of the foot area need the most support because it controls the foot. "If the back of the shoe is closed, you will be ahead of the game," Youner says. This means flip-flops are bad for your feet and they fail on many levels. KYLIE NUTT September is a busy month for podiatrist appointments, especially college students, due to flip-flop related injuries, such as arch problems. When foot arches fall, your feet hurt, causing plantar fasciitis, which is a severe inflamed arch pain, Youner says. Flip-flops can cause a number of problems, such as arch pain, contracting germs on the street and people often fall when wearing them, Youner says. Arches are like bridges, if the bridge isn't supported, the whole structure will cave in. Each step you take has three times your body weight weighing your foot down. So, if you weigh 110 pounds, each foot takes on 330 pounds, Youner says. Imagine how much weight your feet support after a full day of walking around campus. There are a few easy fixes to support your arch. You can avoid wearing flip-flops, but if you must wear them, buy some with arches. They may not be as fashionable, but at least you will save your feet in the long run. There are hundreds of shoes that already have arch supports, but if they don't, it's simple enough to buy a pair of arch supports at Walgreens for $13.99. High heels are just as bad as flip-flops, but in different ways. They can cause bunions, Neuromas, a nerve problem and affect your back by taking it out of its normal position. But, by limiting the amount of time to less than four hours and not wearing a heel more than two inches makes them fine to wear for special occasions, Youner says. So, what can we wear? Since feet are vital in holding our bodies up, wearing a good, fitted shoe is crucial. "As a rule of thumb: the thicker the sole, the stiffer the shoe, the better the arch support, the better the shoe is going to be," says David Laha, a podiatrist at Kansas City Foot Specialists in Overland Park. The biggest problem for students is they do a lot of extra walking than they are used to, so having good footwear is going to make the hike around campus more comfortable and avoid injury, Laha says. Wearing a running shoe to get from class to class is the best option. Instead of spending small amounts of money on cheap shoes, save it up and buy one good pair. Motion control running shoes are usually the best for most people because they have features that prevent the foot from rolling inward, Laha says. Remember to buy shoes later in the day while your feet are at their largest from swelling. And when you try a shoe on, it needs to feel comfortable because if it is tight, it will cause problems, Dr. Laha says. What students say about their shoes: "I definitely do [wear shoes] for comfort, but I won't wear something that doesn't match," says Eileen Remley, a senior from Concordia, Kan. "When I shop it's hard because I want shoes that are comfortable, but also shoes that are fashionable." Remley says she usually wears tennis shoes or Sperry Top-Siders on campus because they are comfortable, but has already started wearing boots since the weather is getting chilly. "When I walk a lot my feet start to hurt because with [flip-flops] there's no cushion," says Joni Chastain, a senior from Burleson, Texas. "I usually just put up with it." Chastain says she typically wears flip-flops to class because it takes less time and effort, and when she's out with friends, she enjoys wearing high heels. "For a long time I wore shoes that had worn out arch support and I got knee problems from it," says Scott Stoops, a sophomore from Ottawa, Kan. "I have to put insoles in all of my shoes, no matter what I wear." Stoops says he usually wears Samba soccer shoes since he is used to them, but occasionally wears Sperry's. "I had a pair of jellies, the plastic ones, and they made my feet bleed, but I threw those away," says Alisha Kidd, a sophomore from Overland Park. "I wore them on campus and I looked down and there was blood on my foot." Kidd says after that experience she sticks with flip-flops, Keds and Sperry Top-siders even though they sometimes cause blisters on her feet. "I usually wear sandals during the summer, but now I wear tennis shoes" says Nick Colbert, a sophomore from Overland Park. "It's definitely easier to walk in them [tennis shoes], but sandals are more trendy." Colbert says he finds sandals and Sperry Top-Siders to be comfortable and hasn't had any blisters. 自动校直值 1.1 7 10 13 11 BANKING TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN [Image of three people joyfully raising their arms in a celebratory pose.

Bu FEATURE Some people change when they come to college. At least that is what Jane (name withheld at source's request), a junior from Kansas was told by her high school best friend and freshman-year dorm mate. Before coming to college, Jane told her friend and future dorm mate that she would be rushing for a sorority. She believed it would not affect their relationship. Soon into the semester, Jane joined a chapter and started spending time with her new sorority sisters. Jane invited her dorm mate to come along with the group whenever they went out. Jane's roommate always declined the offer and began getting angry. She started leaving Jane rude notes like, "Pick up your shoes," around the room instead of talking to her personally. The tension became too much for Jane and after a semester she moved out of the room. The two, both juniors, have not talked since freshman year. Cohen encourages all new roommates to set boundaries at the start of moving in with each other. He refers to this as the 24-hour agreement. This entails sitting down within the first 24 hours of moving in together and share everything that you dislike and what makes you uncomfortable, like dirty dishes, loud music or constant guests. Getting this information out while first meeting each other can make it easier to discuss issues later on. Kristen, a sophomore from Abilene, never made a 24-hour agreement with her roommate causing tension when Kristen wanted a cleaner room. "I never asked her if she could periodically clean her side of the room," says Kristen. "I wasn't her mother so I didn't feel the need to do so, even though her mess always bothered me." Dorm relationships like this aren't uncommon for strangers moving in together, says Harlan Cohen, author of The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College. Cohen has complied research on this topic from more than 400 college campuses in the last 17 years. He says the four major issues that come about from this are not setting boundaries, avoiding confrontation, not being respectful and having unrealistic expectations. Cohen has accumulated many ideas through this research to better a roommate situation, including the 24-hour agreement. The 24-hour rule is vital for new roommates but another common issue roommates have is being afraid of confrontation. Dorm mates need to be able to share when they are upset about something. Telling a friend instead of the roommate causes more harm than good. The worst thing a roommate can do is not share when something is bothering them. Everybody keeps secrets when they get pissed off and they tell everybody but their roommate because they don't want the conflict in the room, Cohen says. 33 a stand-up guy and a successful football coach don't always go hand in hand. From what I witnessed first-hand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon pulls an Oklahoma State ball carrier to the ground near midfield during the first quarter of Saturday night's game at Boone Pickens Stadium. Patton had four tackles against OSU along with a defensive pass interference while in the end zone during the second quarter. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. It's common knowledge that most college football coaches need at least three seasons to get their affairs in order, and besides that, it's highly unlikely KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger has the resources to shell out around $10 million to dismiss Gill and his assistants as well as hire a completely new staff. But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks and that's a big 'if' — things — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Edited by Jonathan Shorman stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. "When it comes down to it, it's It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. consistency," Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." "The past two days, our defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." 9 Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks' defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call.

SPECIAL SECTION SEE INSIDE Health on the Hill LIVING UP LATE NIGHT Special appearance by Victor Ortiz. Rob Riggle at Late Night PAGE 8B Conflict is not uncommon between any type of relationship. "Partners who live together, they argue, and people who want to get along and coexist argue," says Cohen. "An unhealthy relationship is keeping secrets." Being able to communicate with a dorm mate is not enough; instead, dorm mates need to be able to communicate with each other respectfully. A common issue that roommates have is not being to communicate with consideration or not wanting to compromise, says Jennifer Wamelink, associate director for residence life in the department of student housing. "It is important to know what you need and what you want out of the situation and be able to communicate that to your roommate in a respectful way," says Wamelink. Michelle, a sophomore from Overland Park, and her dorm mates had issues with this. The four roommates had a whiteboard posted in the living room between the couch and the closet. The whiteboard was an effort for four people with various schedules to communicate with one another. The board made it possible to get comments to each other quickly. However, the messages got ruder as the semester went on. Messages like, "Someone needs to take out the trash," or, "Looks like the floor is getting messy." Michelle said that on multiple occasions she wanted to rip the board off the wall. The four roommates had the same problem that many other roommates have issues with; a lack of respect for one another and not being able to compromise. Another issue that roommates face is having unrealistic expectations for their roommate before moving in with them. Cohen uses the term roommate from hell to describe a person who allows troublesome situations to affect a living situation. The roommates from hell expect too much from their roommate without willing to work to make the situation work them. These expectations range from assuming that a roommate will have the same lifestyle as him or herself. Dorm mates cannot assume that they want the room cleaned a certain way or study hours to be at a certain time. This needs to be discussed. Cohen says that shy roommates are the biggest roommates from hell because they don't share and their roommate can't read their mind and doesn't know how they feel. Soon the shy roommate will hate his or her roommate and that will make them resent the roommate back. More importantly a person cannot expect his or herself to be best friends with a dorm mate. Cohen stressed that roommates do not need to be friends, just co-exist. In fact, it is almost better if they were not friends. Having friends on the same hall, offering a place to escape if you need someone to talk to. Lauren, a junior from Chicago started off as good friends with her roommate as the beginning but as problems rose the two found it hard to communicate. Lauren found relief of what to do assistant job ranges from therapist, rules enforcer, mediator to even referee. But more importantly residence assistants can also be friends. Sarah, (name withheld at source's request) a sophomore from Chicago, can prove this. While living at Naismith, Sarah became friends with her resident assistant, Jessica Bartlett. Sarah felt comfortable enough to go to Bartlett whenever she had any concerns or issues with others on her floor. "If people were loud or smoking in their rooms, I would vent to her and ask them to stop," says Sarah. with the help of friends on her floor. "They were there to help me with whatever I needed," says Lauren. "They helped give me the courage to calm down, figure out how to approach her, and when I actually did approach her I felt ten times better about it." Sometimes two people just cannot coexist, no matter how hard they try and sometimes, language barriers keep roommates from easily coexisting: This was the case with Katelyn O'Donnell, a senior from Chicago. O'Donnell and her roommate spoke barely 10 words to each other the entire year, almost always a hello. The two did not have typical roommate communication issues. O'Donnell's roommate was from China and while the two tried to communicate, it was difficult. With a difference in language, it was hard for the two to discuss what bothers them and what guidelines they wanted to set for their room. "We basically lived around each other instead of together." While it is important to have somewhere or someone on your floor to escape to, it is more importantly is having a life outside of the floor like a club or team. If a roommate never leaves his or her room they will begin to expect too much from the roommate. It is important to remember that the person is just a roommate. "Too many times roommates come into a situation expecting something, wanting something, from someone else," Cohen says. "Roommates don't need to talk to you, like you, be your friends, you and your roommate just needs to coexist." Communication is a two-way street, which is often forgotten in the blame game of roommate problems, Cohen says. "People with a bad roommate don't realize that they're half the problem," he says. In many cases the roommates cannot come together to resolve these issues themselves and need help from an outside source. That is where resident assistant comes into play. Jessica Bartlett, a resident assistant last year at Naismith Hall, experienced many issues between roommates on her floor. Bartlett explains that if a people want to move out of their rooms, they should go to their resident assistant who will out a request to leave. Then, they meet with the resident director to move out and talk about why they want to leave. If the situation is serious enough, they can be moved out that day or the following.

From childhood, Joey Stallman, a senior from Hutchinson, knew he was more attracted to males.

Around middle school I started to get exposed to different things that made me realize what I was feeling inside wasn't the same as everybody else because of the negative connotations associated with homosexuals. I tried as hard as I could to hide who I was. I finally just took a deep breath and said "Crystal, do you think mom would be upset if I wasn't able to give her grandkids?" She had a really confused look on her face. Fast forward to summer before my senior year of high school. I had attempted to keep my sexuality a secret up until then. I was visiting my sister in Boston. I had decided earlier that it was time I let it all go and start telling people, since I would be moving from high school and my hometown soon. I asked my sister if we could go out to breakfast, just me and her. We went to Duncan Donuts.

And then she cried and I cried, and we're crying, in the middle of this Chinese buffet. But she just told me that I'm her son and that nothing would ever change that. Now, I have a great group of brothers, I met my roomie of three years having the "are you gay?" conversation, and it's made me closer to my mom and sister. I had already decided when I came to KU that it was when I was going to start fresh and not hide who I was at all. I never walked around campus waving my rainbow flag, but if people asked, I would tell them. Not one single person ever seemed uncomfortable.

From what I witnessed first-hand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. It's common knowledge that most college football coaches need at least three seasons to get their affairs in order, and besides that, it's highly unlikely KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger has the resources to shell out around $1 million to dismiss Gill and his assistants as well as hire a completely new staff. But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. CHRIS NFAI/KANSAN stayed tor the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. — Edited by Jonathan Shorman Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles. Gill said. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. "When it comes down to it, it's It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. "The past two days, our consistency," Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." 14 they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks' defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call.

LIVING UP LATE NIGHT Special appearance by Victor Ortiz, Rob Riggle at Late Night PAGE 8B Health on the Hill [Image of a man] PLAY △ Lawrence Through the Lens The growth of the Kansas film scene STREET LISTING Contributed photo A still from "Candy Apple Red" directed by Todd Norris. Lawrence is notorious for fostering creativity. On any given night there is live music, and on the last Friday of every month, talented artists display their work along the sidewalk and in various storefronts downtown. Friday September 30th was no exception to this tradition, but this time another medium was thrown into the mix: film. As Mass street bustled with activity, the 20th annual Harvest of Arts Film Festival took place at the Granada Theatre. Twenty eight short films from a variety of genres were featured, and no awards were distributed. Mark von Schlemmer, a KU graduate and film professor at the University of Central Missouri, has organized the festival since its inception. "The original spirit of the Harvest of Arts was neighbors showing their art work to each other," Schlemmer says. For Schlemmer, the idea behind the festival wasn't to reward local filmmakers for their work, but to offer a chance for Lawrence residents to see the work coming out of the area. "What happens is we have a lot of local people making these films, but no one near by necessarily knows about them. They send them off to film festivals in other areas, but other people in lawrence don't necessarily see these films," Schlemmer says. The festival consisted entirely of short films, none of which exceed 15 minutes in length. Short films, as Schlemmer says, are not financially driven. They are a way for filmmakers to exercise their creativity and develop their skills without many of the constraints associated with feature films." There's room for experimentation, and there's also room for people to tell the stories they really want to tell without the pressures of a studio telling them they need to have people that are beautiful, blonde and thin in their movies," Schlemmer says. Although Kansas is not generally regarded for its film scene, the number of people creating their own projects in the Lawrence and Kansas City area is growing. Kevin Willmott, associate professor of film at the University of Kansas, and director of such films as the Confederate States of America, and The Only Good Indian, has worked in the film industry for 30 years. He has written screenplays for Hollywood productions, but he prefers making his own movies in Kansas because of the excitement and freedom associated with independent filmmaking here. "I came to the conclusion early on in my career that I needed to be an independent filmmaker to be able tell the stories that I wanted to tell," Willmott says. "I've always believed in taking advantage of the freedom we have in Kansas, particularly in Lawrence and Kansas City. People are not jaded about film in the area, people are really supportive." Kansas, unbeknownst to many, offers what Willmott says is a very supportive environment when it comes to filmmaking. "In Hollywood your ideas have go through kind of a corporate filter in a sense, and for them it's still a business before it's anything else," he says. "The key thing about independent film is that you do something that Hollywood is not going to do." JEFF KARR Mark von Schlemmer says another reason for the growth of the independent film scene in Kansas is the fact that, after graduating, many students are realizing they don't have to go to Hollywood or New York to get jobs. "There's a lot more homegrown talent now," Schlemmer says. With groups like KU Filmworks, the number of people collaborating on films and creating projects of their own in Lawrence is on the increase. KU Filmworks, which receives funding from the University to make their own projects, has played a big role in increasing the film presence in the area. "A lot of our members do projects outside of school, they have these projects that are really close to them, and they just look for the best people for the job and they create these really stunning films," says Laurie Winkel, president of KU Filmworks. Willmott, who grew up in Junction City Kansas and had his first hand's-on experience with film in high school using a reel to reel machine, also attributes the growth of the Kansas film scene to the accessibility of film equipment. "One of the big changes is the technology. Our students come to our department, and a lot of them have their own cameras. A lot of them have their own editing equipment," he says. "It takes more than the knowledge of technology to tell a good story, and that's what I think we offer more than anything."

The "Russian Jayhawk," as the small carving has come to be known, was a gift of gratitude from an unknown Russian prisoner of war to Conrad Hoffman, a Kansas alumnus working with the YMCA in Germany during World War I. It's a symbol of the long-standing connection between the University and its students doing good in Russian and Eastern Europe, said Marc Greenberg, chairman of the Slavic department.

The YMCA post was "an important non-governmental service performing a moral and social function during the First World War," Greenberg wrote in his article "Hoffman's Hawk." According to the article, the YMCA worked in prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, providing education and coordinating social and athletic activities for the prisoners. The YMCA also helped prisoners develop trades and hobbies by giving them tools and arranging exhibitions and sales of their artwork.

If you can look past the plot and garbled tough guy dialogue, Marty McKendry's "Killer Elite" is a perfect espionage thriller with one or two memorably-staged action sequences. That's the kindest thing that can be said for the newest Jason Statham vehicle, which pits the badass against fellow Brit action stud Clive Owen in a heady cocktail of spy vs. spy. Statham plays Danny Bryce, who in standard spy movie fashion, has retired following a crisis of conscience during a routine assassination. Of course he's soon thrust back into the life after receiving word that his mentor Hunter (a grizzled Robert De Niro) has been kidnapped by an Oman sheik, who demands that Bryce hunt down the three ex-SAS agents responsible for killing his sons. Bryce's biggest obstacle will be Clive Owen's Spike, a spy hunter whose Feathermen division has been tasked with protecting former SAS operatives and their caché of dirty war secrets. Any scene featuring both Statham and Owen crackles with wicked intensity, with each actor calling on all his stubly, drawling machismo to outmatch the other. Statham even manages to pull off a convincing fight scene while duct-taped to a chair. Unfortunately, these moments of excellence are few and far between. The pacing drags and the rest of the cast fails to match the enthusiasm of the leads, especially De Niro, who essentially muddles through a role that at one time could have produced a classic performance. Yvonne Strahovski makes for curvaceous subplot as Statham's Aussie paramour. Frankly, it's all a bloody shame, because with a few more good men and some tactical rewrites, "Killer Elite" could have been a direct hit. |LANDON MCDONALD | MAY THE BEST MAN LIVE EVATHAM QONIE DENHO KILLER ELITE SEPTEMBER 20 10 13 11 14 Contributed photo √ REVIEW Speaking of creepy, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" had trouble producing skin-chilling episodes, but it has a few. "Killed by Death" and "Listening to Fear" both effectively present terrifying monsters; one who sucks the souls out of children and the other that feeds > TV, movies, and other goodies to devour instantly. Halloween is on his terrifying way, so it's time for some horror fun. Thanks to Netflix, there are tons of options for your horror movie marathons, but I want to throw out a couple of creepy TV episodes worth the watch. I've been revisiting "The X-Files" lately. It's a great show to just drop in on some episodes, because there's a lot of monster-of-the-week episodes. I suggest catching "The Host" and "Home" episodes. The former is about a humanoid parasite that lays its eggs in bodies and the latter is so messed up, Fox wouldn't air it. However, "The X-Files" is known for its aliens. The "Duane Barry" episode is beyond creepy. The episode is pivotal to the overall plot of "The X-Files," but it's own plot of a seemingly insane man recounting his encounters with aliens makes for chilling flashbacks. NETFLIX REVIEW // HALLOWEEN-THEMED TV on the insane. But the famous "Hush" episode is the onlyreally scary episode. The demons of "Hush", known as "the Gentlemen," take away everybody's voices, so that they may float around town and collect hearts with the help of their straight-jacketed burn victim henchmen. The episode is also critically acclaimed, having been nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series. Utilize Netflix this autumn for some real scares! "The Twilight Zone" is also a great example of another series with some creepy episodes. [CHANCE CARMICHAEL] Contributed photo STYLE REVIEW // NAIL POLISH: COLOR BLOCKING THE X FILES > Get it while it's haute. Color blocking is a fashion trend that's made its way from clothes and accessories to the nail polish industry. The blocking look is achieved by polishing nails with bold colors in simple patterns. There are a variety of methods to achieve the blocking appearance. A popular approach is to paint all nails a solid shade except for the ring fingers on each hand. Use a similar variant of the main color on the ring finger to enhance a subtle contrast. Another color-blocking technique is to use twocolors on a single fingernail. Polish each nail with a solid color except for the ring fingers. Paint the ring finger nails using the color-blocking method. Paint one half with a richly colored tint and the other half with a lighter strain of the same color on the chosen nail. Divide the coloration horizontally or vertically and mix and match the cast of colors to find the ideal combination. Gloss your blocked out nails with glitter polish to add a bit of glamour to the striking look. The overall offset presentation of color-blocking adds spunk and innovation to the conventional manicure. 2 by Maggie Young MAGGIE YOUNG Photo by Maggie Young One different colored nail on each hand makes your polish pop.

DIDY Cross country: At six-years-old. Christine breaks from her family road trip for a snack in Canada. I've grown up in a cookie-cutter suburb just outside of Chicago my entire life. It's like they show in the movies — my house is the same as the one across the street. I'm pretty sure every family has a dog. And every day at 5 p.m., all of the dads come home to dinner on the table. While I can't imagine living elsewhere, it could have easily shaped me into a suburban-sheltered kid. I was a step away from crossing a line that would have made me think everyone pronounces their Os as AHs and every kid has a group of friends they've known since grade school. But my parents decided they wouldn't let their kids grow up that way; so, the Curtin family vacations were born. I'm not talking about family vacations where you fly to a Florida time-share for a week. I'm talking about hard-core family vacations, which involve multi-week road trips, numerous states and hundreds of miles per day. They involve laughs, tears and a whole hell of a bonding. The first vacation took place in the summer of 1990 when I was 4-months-old. Granted, I have no recollection of that vacation, but apparently I was very well behaved. It was an overnight trip to Madison, Wis., and Dubuque, Iowa. Two states off the list. From there, the trips only got longer, more intense and a lot more interesting. We never flew anywhere. For those two weeks every summer, my home away from home was a side-of-the-road, you're-probably-going-to-be-killed-by-an-ax-murderer type of motel by night, and our green Chevrolet truck by day. We never took highways. It was always back country roads, so we could really see "how the rest of America lived." I can't begin to tell you how many hours I spent in the little cab of that truck. It was a two-door, and the pickup portion was stuffed full with bags, tents and every vacation necessity. My brother and I always sat in the back seats. In between us was always a cardboard box filled with coloring books, stuffed animals and every game imaginable, from Car Bingo We went everywhere. In 17 years, we covered the 48 continental states (I've been told I'm on my own for Alaska and Hawaii). We went to Acadia National Park in Maine, where we tried to go camping until realizing we forgot the tent poles and ended up at a motel in the midst of a storm that knocked out electricity on the island. We went to Washington where we built a campfire on the beach and roasted hot dogs because it was too cold to swim. We went to Montana and hiked up "Big Mountain" for four straight hours, staring at bears in the distance. We went to Virginia and spent days at Civil War battlegrounds. We to Gameboys. My Dad mostly drove. He would have his sandals off, both arms stretched over the steering wheel, never really keeping his eyes on the road. My mom would sit in the passenger seat, a picture of our family dog propped up on the dashboard in front of her (the thing we missed most about home). She would be filing her fingernails or trying her best to entertain us. went to North and South Dakota, and drove through countless Indian reservations where little kids were playing soccer barefoot in the dust. We went to California and drove the Pacific Coast Highway, which was right on the edge of cliffs that gave way to the Pacific Ocean below, from San Francisco to Laguna Beach. We stopped in Alabama in the middle of the night, pulled over on the side of the road next to an abandoned gas station and stepped on the dirt. And... I hated it. If we drove eight hours, I spent seven sleeping. Every now and then, I peeked out the window and saw mountains, pine trees, desert, lakes and cacti, but I never understood why I was being dragged on these trips. After all, it was just endless fighting with my brother and being forced to listen to my parents' lame history lessons. Before I knew it, it was our last family vacation. I was 17-years-old, heading off to college in a year, and it became clear to us that four adults in a truck for weeks on end wouldn't be best for our sanity. We had to go out big. Three weeks. Seven thousand miles. Eleven states. You name a western state, we were there. We went to Yellowstone in Wyoming down to Texas where we ate at a hole-in-the-wall country bar in Amarillo and then headed to the Grand Canyon. My dad was so angry that we were going there (tourist trap, he said) that he refused to drive home. My mom and I had to split up the drive from the Grand Canyon back to Chicago. This was also the trip that I visited the University of Kansas, which turned out well, to say the least. Now it's been four years since I've been on a family vacation, and to put it simply, I miss it. I may have spent the majority of the time sleeping and complaining, but then I think back to moments where I would look out the window and see something so different from identical looking houses or fenced-in yards with dogs. I think back to standing on top of mountains, or in the middle of deserts, or on the shores of oceans or just in the boondocks. Now, where do I find myself wishing I could be? Cramped up in that green Chevy truck, waking up from a nap and looking out the tiny window with sleepy eyes to some of the most amazing scenery. I may live in a typical suburban town, but I have memories of thousands of other towns scattered about the United States that aren't typical whatsoever. It's taken me until this year to realize what my parents were trying to do by taking my brother and me on those long trips. They gave us an experience that most kids never get — the opportunity to learn about our country and see that not everyone lives the same life. People grow up differently, but that's not to say there's any "right" way to live. I assumed everyone was like me, but I've seen that they're not. And that's okay, because diversity gives our country life.

Bu 33 From what I witnessed first-hand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. a stand-up guy and a successful football coach don't always go hand in hand. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. It's common knowledge that most college football coaches need at least three seasons to get their affairs in order, and besides that, it's highly unlikely KU Athletic Director Sheahan Zenger has the resources to shell out around $10 million to dismiss Gill and his assistants as well as hire a completely new staff.

CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. Volu Edited by Jonathan Shorman Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem; practice: Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." "When it comes down to it, it's By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. "The past two days, our consistency," Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." 4 defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call. Edited by Alexandra Esposito --- Monday.

The body of a man who apparently had been swept away by a river current was found covered with mud in the town of Ciuhlitan in Jalisco state, said civil protection spokesman Juan Pablo Vigueras. The games are scheduled to open in Jalisco on Friday. The five other victims drowned, were killed by mudslides or died in a collapsed house. Police in Colombia's capital have fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse riots after a mostly peaceful student protest against an education reform bill. Bopota police report 15 arrests. Thousands of students had launched a national strike in major cities Wednesday, saying the bill would privatize higher education. Government officials said that's not the case. They said the bill would allow tens of thousands more young people to go to university. MOSCOW Authorities in Colombia's western city of Cali said a 19-year-old former student died near student marches when explosives that he was carrying went off. It is unclear whether the incident was related to the student marches. A pilot helping to investigate the crash of a Russian jet that killed 44, including an entire professional ice hockey team, said that a simulation points to pilot error as the cause. The Yak-42 jet crashed into the banks of the Volga River moments after takeoff from Yaroslavl in western Russia on Sept. 7, wiping out the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team, which included former NHL players and members of European national teams. Test pilot Vasily Sevastyanov said Thursday on state Channel One television that the plane went into a spin because a pilot pulled it up too sharply following an abnormally slow run. Officials have not yet announced the crash reason, but they already have said that all the plane's systems were functioning normally until impact. BANGKOK Workers hurriedly dredged canals and cut new waterways around Thailand's capital on Thursday in a desperate battle to protect the city from the country's worst floods in decades. One jittery Cabinet official called for the evacuation of an area on Bangkok's northern outskirts, only to take back his warning 15 minutes later. At least 283 people have been killed since late July by floods and mudslides that have devastated rice crops and shut dozens of factories. Bangkok has been mostly spared so far, but some surrounding areas have been inundated and authorities fear that flood waters rushing from the north will combine with rains in the next few days to flood the city.

S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, Kathleen Merrigan talks to the owners of The Merc, a local farmers market. Merrigan spoke about job creation and support for local farmers. CLAIRE MCINERNY cmcinerny@kansan.com Trade agreements will help Kansas farmers export goods The classroom at the back of the Merc looks a little different than Kathleen Merrigan's typical meeting room. With a table filled with organic spinach and hand-grown cherry tomatoes, this room showcases what the Merc is all about: local produce. Merrigan, the deputy secretary of agriculture of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, also focuses on local produce in her job. Merrigan said the locally-grown food trend is increasing at a rate people in the food industry have never seen. And as of Tuesday, locally grown food in Kansas will not only benefit the community it was grown in, but people all over the world because of new free trade agreements. The new free trade agreements lower tariffs on goods the U.S. ships to these countries, so Congress hopes sending more agriculture goods overseas will open more jobs for farmers. Merrigan spent Wednesday afternoon eating lunch and discussing local farming with a few board members for the Merc. She took this break from Washington to have a dialogue with local food producers to figure out how to stimulate the economy, literally from the ground up. Columbia, Panama and South Korea free trade agreements," Merrigan said. "This is going to open up doors for beef, dairy and feed grains and we're really excited for your state." "I can't find a big enough word for how important yesterday was with the One issue both the Merc and Department of Agriculture work to improve is the food children receive in school lunches. The Merc's Community Mercantile Education Foundation (CMEF) is in charge of the school farms at Lawrence elementary and middle schools. Nancy O'Connor, executive director of CMEF, thinks the school gardens in Lawrence are changing the way children eat. "When I see what kids see on the landscape, they see golden arches," O'Connor said. "Even if children aren't consciously thinking about it, every day when they come out of their schools they walk past a garden and it's changing their view of food," O'Connor said. Merrigan participated in a study at Tufts University that supports this claim. The study found that school children who are involved in garden-based learning do better on standardized tests, are environmentally aware and are open to trying healthier foods. Merrigan hopes a new program will also improve the quality of food for children. It was introduced in Michigan and Florida earlier this year and allows schools to spend USDA commodity dollars on local food for school lunches. Although Merrigan said Lawrence is doing a great job of supporting and cultivating local produce, she said it is up to consumers to keep this trend alive. Unlike the Merc, some grocery stores claim their produce to be local when it is not, so only purchasing true local food will help this industry. "It itre consumers to look at labels and ask questions," Merrigan said. "There's a renaissance of interest in food and American agriculture, so it gives us a real moment of education and opportunity. So this is a great time for consumers to ask those questions and learn."

"The world was a different place." McNeley said Kansas subscribes to a digital plagiarism detection program called SafeAssign to help the University deal with the issue of digital plagiarism. SafeAssignment checks student papers against online sources as well as an internal database of University works, McNeley said. The vast majority of plagiarism cases are with freshman and sophomores, McNeyle said. She said students at this level are still learning the difference in expectations between high school and university level writing. Sanctions for student plagiarism range from admonition - a verbal warning - to transcript citation. McNeyle said the stakes are much higher for students as they advance in their academic career. "Our goal is not to get as many cases of plagiarism as possible, but to help students understand the issue," McNeley said. The KU Writing Center cannot check students' work against SafeAssign, but it can help students learn how to cite their sources properly, said Martha Jerrim, assistant director of the KU Writing Center. Jerrim said many students are confused by different department expectations. She said the writing center has an online list of resources ranging from American Psychological Association to Council of Biology Editors citation styles. "The most important thing about citations is that no one expects you to know your citation style," Jerrim said. "They expect you to learn and look up."

From what I witnessed firsthand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patton pulls an Oklahoma State ball carrier to the ground near midfield during the first quarter of Saturday night's game at Boone Pickens Stadium. Patton had four tackles against OSU along with a defensive pass interference while in the end zone during the second quarter. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. It's common knowledge that most college football coaches need at least three seasons to get their affairs in order, and besides that, it's highly unlikely KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger has the resources to shell out around $10 million to dismiss Gill and his assistants as well as hire a completely new staff. But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Volu Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. Edited by Jonathan Shorman Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patronn suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. "When it comes down to it, it's It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. consistency." Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." "The past two days, our Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know 17 defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call.

EDITORIAL Zombie apocalypse poses unique threat The Centers for Disease Control originally raised the concern about an impending zombie apocalypse, giving tips on how the public could deal with an outbreak on its website. The state of Kansas must have thought so, too, because October is Zombie Preparedness Month and while the state probably wouldn't approve of some of Eisenberg's rules (the double tap among them), others would get a fully-embossed stamp of approval. In the movie "Zombieland" Jesse Eisenberg kept a long and diverse list of rules that helped keep him alive. Some were helpful, others were silly, but they worked. To the guy who said not-model-skinny girls are still beautiful, you made my day. Thanks! The CDC recommends keeping the following items in an emergency kit in case of invasion: one gallon of water per person per day, non-perishable foods, needed medications, tools like duct tape and a battery-powered radio, hygiene items like soap and towels, clothing and bedding, important documents and first-aid supplies. In addition, it's important to have a plan for when the zombies actually come. Having a central meeting place and a list of emergency contacts is a good start. Also, having an evacuation route is important, too. While this is all well and good, the CDC's plans for itself are not entirely reassuring. "If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states or international partners dealing with zombie infestation," the CDC says on its website. The agency does not seem to recognize the unique threat zombies pose. Such an outbreak would require extraordinary measures. This is not the latest flu from some exotic bird. This is dead people walking around trying to kill you. They're already dead, but there they are. That's the horror of it. The zombie threat cannot be controlled through an investigation. Once zombies roam the streets, the only investigation worth conducting is finding out how sharp the ax in your garage is. Also, we really hope "technical assistance" is a euphemism for large guns. We might be in trouble if not. There's definitely challenges to surviving a zombie apocalypse, but if we keep our wits about us and use common sense, we'll be fine. Come to think of it, common sense might just work in other disasters, too. LEGISLATION - Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board But don't tell the state of Kansas; zombies are way cooler. Concerts should have safety regulations By Mike Montano editor@kansan.com Every fall, I look forward to going to local concerts where I can listen to some good music, yell out the words to my favorite songs and enjoy the company of friends. After all, concerts are an essential part of the college experience, right? Like any normal college student, I used to attend concerts worry-free, oblivious to the cheap labor that went into creating a stage towering over me and certainly not concerned for my safety. But this changed for me recently I'm sure fans of Sugarland, who Toni Collette and Eric Johnson ASSOCIATED PRESS In this June 10, 2011, file photo the American country music duo Sugarland, featuring vocalist Jennifer Nettles, left, and guitarist Kristian Bush, during the CMA Fan Festival Friday, June 10, 2011 in Nashville, Tenn.

Five people died at the concert and were added to the list of concertgoers who have lost their lives this past year. From the demise of wood beams, steel supports, and scaffolding, it leaves me questioning how safe concerts are and what's being done about it. Where is the government agency that assures standards in stage construction are being followed? Unfortunately, there isn't one, and because of this, stagehands are not held accountable, and therein lies the problem. After hours on the Homeland Security and state of Kansas websites, no laws on concert venue construction were to be found. I get that, as an American, we want more, bigger and better in our entertainment, but, as our needs are changing and evolving, why aren't these security measures keeping up? How do you explain to the families of the deceased why their loved ones were not safe at a music concert? The guy in Wescoe, she is NOT interested at all and the hallways don't care about what you think about religion. The tragic event in Indiana was because of bad weather and strong winds that caused the "And that was the one that got away," he said. "Ah, the one that got away," the bros replied supportively. Dollar Night was my study break. I clearly have great priorities. stage to topple over. What I don't understand is that there are more positions to protect the talent than there are to make sure the crowd, who brought and paid for this talent to come to town, is safe from bad weather and sound the alarms for people to seek safety. Is it really that difficult to pull a few people off concessions to keep concerts as safe as possible? Let's be honest, safety is the last thing we're thinking about when Lil Wayne takes the stage and makes us all get "crunk." We don't spend our hard-earned money on a concert ticket that promises us great music but doesn't guarantee our safety. Sugarland did announce that they will perform a free concert later this month in Indianapolis because of what had happened but is that enough? No concert is worth dying for so think about the next place you're going to see a show at and be aware of your surroundings. Mike Montano is a junior in journalism from Boston.

From what I witnessed first-hand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer two years on the job. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season.

The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said.

Offensive coordinator Chuck Long will rely on Hatch and the rest of his offensive line to match Oklahoma's high-scoring offense. Offensive coach recalls history as Oklahoma faces Kansas on Saturday MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_Fball Offensive coordinator Chuck Long's coaching career will come full circle this week. The man behind the Kansas offense was once in charge of the Oklahoma offense for four years and was an integral part for six total. Long coached the quarterbacks at Oklahoma for his first two years and was their offensive coordinator for four. He was part of a championship and two Rose Bowl-winning teams with the Sooners. And just as Oklahoma — with Long as a coach — beat its opponents down from 1999 to 2005, he knows the same is predicted to happen this weekend. "What goes around, comes around," Long said. The dominance he's referring to stems from the Sooners' 67-11 record during Long's tenure with the program. In 2003, under Long's control, the Sooners set a then Big 12 record, averaging 51.5 points per game. As a first-hand witness to how Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops helped build and maintain an elite program in Norman, Okla., Long has brought much of what he learned to Kansas. Long said the main thing he's taken from Stoops is the way he approaches practices and games with the same intensity. He said a tired coach bothers Stoops more than anything, because he wants his coaches to bring energy to the practice field everyday. The offensive staff at Kansas has been doing the same. COMMENTARY "It's an interesting week for me, because I know what that staff is SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 14 Kansas fans: give Turner Gill the chance to coach Kansas football fans are known for their early exits. But those in the fanbase calling for coach Turner Gill's early exit are misguided. Gill is in the hot seat in only his second season after back-to-back-to-back humiliating losses. The Jayhawks (2-3) have fielded a historically bad defense and have been torched in the second half in two of their three losses, seemingly indicating an inability to adjust. But even if the Jayhawks drop every game remaining on their schedule, firing Gill after two seasons of adversity would be a big mistake. There are six million reasons why new athletic director Sheahon Zenger will likely keep Gill at the end of the season; however, even ignoring the financial burden canning Gill would put on the University, there are other reasons for giving him a full third year. Most of the Jayhawks' best players are Gill recruits, which is impressive considering he has only been on the job since Dec. 13. 2009. Sophomore running back James Sims has been a stud in the backfield, and his emergence has justified Gill's controversial decision to convert junior Toben Opurum to defensive end last season. Freshman wide receiver JaCorey Shepherd has been sensational, catching eight passes for 218 yards and three touchdowns in only three games. And freshman running back Brandon Bourbon had a breakout game against Texas Tech, rushing 10 times for 101 yards and a touchdown. By Matt Galloway mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com @themattgalloway Conversely, the biggest disappointments this season have been holdovers recruited by former coach Mark Mangino. Junior safety Bradley McDougal has struggled mightily since the former wide receiver switched positions. Senior running back Rell Lewis has taken most of the snaps for the Jayhawks out of the wildcat formation and has averaged only 3.7 yards on 15 attempts for zero touchdowns. What this means is that Gill and his coaching staff are doing their jobs on the recruiting trail. It has not exactly translated on the field, especially on defense, but expecting every player who has been here longer than Gill to fully buy into his system is naive. Gill is playing with someone else's deck right now, and he deserves three full seasons to reshuffle. And if three years seems like too long of a leash. Kansas fans need to look no further than the approach taken by their two biggest rivals. Missouri coach and master recruiter Gary Pinkel was below .500 in each of his first two seasons at Missouri, going 4-7 and 5-7, respectively. He rebounded with an 8-5 record his third season. And back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder went 1-10 his first season and 5-6 in his second. He went 7-4 his third year and now has a football stadium named after him. Of course, none of this infor motion justifies the Jayhawks' Hindenburg-like defense this season, but one has to wonder how different the squad would look if defensive coordinator Carl Torbush was not forced to abruptly resign on May 31 due to cancer. Torbush's replacement, Vic Shealy, will probably be the fall guy if the defense keeps getting ravaged, but the early-summer transfer of power had to be hectic for everyone involved. Gill should not be immune to criticism, especially for some of his questionable game-time decisions. But, considering his contract, his strong recruiting and precedent in the industry, antsy Kansas fans should back off when it comes to calling for his head. — Edited by Sarah Champ TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Jason Phoenix explains different gestures for responses during the demonstrations held by protestors participating in Occupy Lawrence.

The defense currently ranks last in the country in yards allowed per game and in scoring defense. Their third down conversion rate ranks at 116th in the country as well.

The Jayhawks are entering Saturday's game reeling after a 70-28 loss at Oklahoma State. It doesn't get any easier for the Jayhawks, who are taking on the nation's No. 3 team in Oklahoma. The defense ranks last in the nation in yards per game and points allowed per game, while its turnover margin ranks 114th. The offense has been a lone bright spot, ranking 25th in the country in yards per game.

Fresh PETER MCKAY Doherty QUESTION MARKS man kicker Alex Mueller missed one field goal against Oklahoma State, putting him at two-for-five on the season. FOOTBALL GAMED PREVIE COACHING M. ADEBENYE NKOSI The coaching staff has begun to take heat for the team's recent performances. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy is currently coaching arguably the worst defense in college football. Coach Turner Gill has offered little remedies for the defensive performance as their play continues to get worse. Gill MOMENTUM MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Momentum is going in the wrong direction for the Jayhawks. They've lost two consecutive conference games, both demoralizing in their own sense. They lost a 20-point lead to Texas Tech and then suffered one of the worst blowouts in school history against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks will have to create some momentum of their own early in this game to get any chance of coming away from this one with positives. PREDICT 59-20, 86 BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... A miracle occurs and the defense suddenly corrects its issues. The Jayhawks will need to take care of the ball, while forcing turnovers if they want any chance to win this one. Oklahoma just dismantled a Texas team that was ranked 11th, so the Jayhawks will have to hope that the Sooners come out flat after their big win last week. It's going to take a lot for the Jayhawks to win this one. After the Jayhawks gave up 70 points to Oklahoma State, it would be easy to say that the Jayhawks have nowhere to go but up. Not quite, as the No. 3 Sooners should be the toughest team the Jayhawks face all season. The lowly defense for Kansas will have a long day trying to stop the Sooners' offense that ranks sixth in the country in yards per game.

Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon pulls an Oklahoma State ball carrier to the ground near midfield during the first quarter of Saturday night's game at Boone Pickens Stadium. Patmon had four tackles against OSU along with a defensive pass interference while in the end zone during the second quarter. From what I witnessed first-hand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Edited by Jonathan Shorman Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season.

This week the Jayhawks worked toward developing their attacking identity with spirited drilling sessions on Tuesday. Kansas prepares aggressive offense RYAN MCCARTHY Four games remain on the regular season schedule for Kansas soccer, and the team understands aggressive play will be crucial to reach postseason games. That challenge starts today when the Jayhawks face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock, Texas. rmccarthy@kansan.com "At this point in the season you really want to be in a situation where you have something to play for and we've got everything to play for," coach Mark Francis said. "I don't think you can ask for more than that right now." A win against Creighton was imperative, but Kansas (9-6) wants to tap into the aggressive playing it had at the beginning of the season. After dropping two home contests to Texas A&M and Baylor, Kansas righted the ship against Creighton on Sunday with an overtime victory Another important aspect of the Jayhawks' attitude is the continued consistent play of junior midfielder Williamsium is one of the more durable players this fall. She's played a team-high 1,283 minutes. Along with logging the most time on the pitch, Williamson also made a transition into the midfield from defender. Shelby Williamson. "I played there my freshman year," Williamson said. "I'm used to playing in the middle so playing outside was a little different for me this year." Sophomore Shannon Renner took over Williamson's role on the outside part of the formation. This made her responsible for some of the fastest runners on the opposing side. "I think it's really helpful because we can just hone in on their style of play," Renner said. "It helps us know specifically in each of our roles what we need to do for that game." Now as Kansas travels to some of the toughest teams in the Big 12, it knows an extra effort will be needed to achieve its goals. "It's hard, but we were on the road a lot at the beginning of the season," Williamson said. "I think we're used to it and ready to get some wins." "We felt like we needed a little bit more of a defensive presence in the middle of the midfield and that's why we moved her there and I think she's done a great job with that," Francis said. Edited by Ben Chipman Having Williamson move up in the formation was an important shake-up that brought energy to the team. 915872600000 LOOKING FOR MORE SOCCER?

The two seasons before I started at the University of Kansas, we won the Orange Bowl and then the Insight Bowl. Kansas fans fell in love with football and thought we could run with the big dogs. I do not see the love anymore. I photographed the season opener of the 2009 season. When I arrived at the field, it was a feeling I'd never felt before. The stadium was packed with a record attendance and the atmosphere was alive. Fans cheered on every positive play for the Jayhawks, even if it was only a single yard. The football program has changed since then. Kansas has transitioned to new players and new coaches. Now Turner Gill is in his second season as coach. I was one of the Things have not gone as well the past two seasons. I've shot nine home football games and attended the rest as a fan. photographers to shoot the first game of this season, and I didn't have the same feeling I did back in 2009. Yes, the stands were full, but the enthusiasm was just not there. In its most recent home game, Kansas jumped out to a 20-1 lead, but Texas Tech eventually made it a game. At halftime, the Jayhawks led 27-24 and the majority of the student section left the stadium. Texas Tech came out strong in the third quarter and won the game 45-34. The fact that the students left with a lead in a close game is disrespectful, irresponsible and an awful showing of school pride. The players notice this and I can tell you that it does not help. The outcome might have been different if fans had stuck around and cheered on the Jayhawks for the entire game. Fans need to take the energy that they bring to Allen Fieldhouse and transfer it to Memorial Stadium. We have the loudest arena in college basketball for a reason. Yes, basketball games are more fun because the team is succession, but people need to stop being fairweather fans and support their team no matter what. Football games are not as fun to shoot anymore, and it has nothing to do with winning or losing. It's because the fans are not into the game. This makes us look like sore losers. Why even wear Kansas apparel if you aren't going to support your teams? Be a true fan. Go to the games, get loud, go crazy and stay, so I can take a worthwhile photo.

SATURDAY, OCT. 15 Both the Tigers and the Cyclones look for their first conference vicotry this weekend in enter Columbia, Mo. Iowa State has lost all of its early momentum that three consecutive close victories brought, dropping the last two games against Texas and Baylor. Missouri entered the season ranked in the top 25, but a loss to Arizona saw it quickly exit the poll. With the Big 12 looking stronger than ever, the losing team in this game could be looking at a long stretch before its next opportunity to win. Missouri quarterback James Franklin is the second leading rusher on the Tigers and faces a Cyclone defense that allowed 391 yards on the ground last week, 107 of which were to the quarterback.

The Aggies have had a tough time holding onto early leads against top 20 teams, blowing a 17-point lead against Oklahoma State and an 18-point lead against Arkansas. The Aggie defense will have its hands full trying to control mid-season Heisman candidate, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. PLAYER TO WATCH If Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III goes off like he has all season long, he could deliver the Aggies their third defeat in four weeks. He should have plenty of opportunities to do so, as the Aggies have the NCAA's worst passing defense.

SATURDAY, OCT. 15 For the second week in a row, Kansas State enters the game as the underdog to an unranked opponent. The Wildcat offense is not breaking records by any means, but instead the Wildcats are led by a stellar defense. The Wildcats rank in the top 20 in defensive scoring and total defense.

Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. a stand-up guy and a successful football coach don't always go hand in hand. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon pulls an Oklahoma State ball carrier to the ground near midfield during the first quarter of Saturday night's game at Boone Pickens Stadium. Patmon had four tackles against OSU along with a defensive pass interference while in the end zone during the second quarter. The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. It's common knowledge that most college football coaches need at least three seasons to get their affairs in order, and besides that, it's highly unlikely KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger has the resources to shell out around $10 million to dismiss Gill and his assistants as well as hire a completely new staff. But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Edited by Jonathan Shorman Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. "When it comes down to it, it's consistency," Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. "The past two days, our Volu --- defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know VOL 11 I they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks' defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call. the Jay .

Upsetting the nationally-ranked Sooners would not be something new for coach Ray Bechard's squad. The Jayhawks (12-6, 0-5) will attempt to get back on track with the game against the No. 22 Sooners (17-5, 4-2) at 5 p.m. in Oklahoma tomorrow night, after losing more ground in the Big 12 on Wednesday. "They had a difficult five-set loss after being up 2-0 at A&M, and that's just our league," Bechard said. "That's how things work." The Sooners are coming off back-to-back road losses to Iowa State and Texas A&M, both schools who the Jayhawks have lost to at home this season. In the final game of the 2010 regular season, the Jayhawks stunned the Sooners by sweeping them on their own court. Oklahoma would go on to receive an NCAA tournament bid while Kansas was left on the outside looking in. Senior setter Nicole Tate had 39 assists in the upset last season. She said the team has to repeat the feat if they want to gain momentum in a tight B12. "It's a must win," Tate said. "We have to beat Oklahoma and get back on schedule in the Big 12 and start winning some matches." Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield contributed to the win last year, notching three aces. Despite losing in four sets to Missouri on Wednesday, Mayfield said there was evidence of improvement, such as no player finishing with a negative attack percentage. "You never want to hit negative," Mayfield said. "We were swinging away, and we were being pretty successful when we were hitting shots. It was a good sign, but we didn't get the 'W', and that's what we were after in the end." After starting the season with their best record since 2002, the Jayhawks have had to endure one of their worst starts to conference play since before Bechard took the helm in 1998. "If we stay diligent and we keep working on the things we need to work on, things will start to go our way," Bechard said.

"I was on a great offensive staff, but I'll tell you what, the staff that I'm on offensively is just as good. You like history to repeat itself in terms of the win column, that's not happening at this point, obviously, but history has repeated itself in terms for me being on a similar staff." And that energy on the practice field has begun to pay off, even though the game against Oklahoma may not show it. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2011 Taking some of the basic schemes from his days at Oklahoma, Long has had success with the young Kansas offense. The Jayhawks boast the 25th best offense in the country in total yards and the 18th best rushing offense. The offense's downfall so far this season comes in the turnover department. In its last two games Kansas has turned the ball over eight times, five of which have come off the arm of sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb. Coach Turner Gill has little concern for Webb, though, who ranks as the "I was on a great offensive staff, but I'll tell you what, the staff that I'm on offensively is just as good."

Long said the Oklahoma defense is the fastest he's seen in Norman, Okla., in a long time, saying it reminds him of the successful Chicago Bears defenses of the '80s. "What they're saying is, we're going to get to you before you get the ball off, so it doesn't matter," Long said. "We have to be really sound in our protections and what THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN were doing in the passing game." While Long hinted that it was going to be a tough Saturday night in Lawrence, Webb and his team have not been making any excuses or changing the expectations of their performance Saturday. "Obviously where it really counts is in wins and losses and that's what you hang your head on as a quarterback." Webb said. "No one can say that I'm not out there competing, trying to play my best."

He has completed only 57 percent of his passes, but it will be his feet and their 7.1 yards per carry average that lift the Wolverines over the Spartans for the first time since 2007. 28-24, Michigan State 38-20, Baylor 34-27, Baylor I'm a Michigan State girl, but even with my bias aside, the Spartans are much stronger than the Wolvenines this year. Both defenses are strong, so it won't be a high-scoring game. But the Spartans are more of a total package, which will be enough to get a victory.

Watch for a strong offense with lots of passing from the Bears. With LaMichael James now out for this week's matchup, Oregon will have to change its plan of attack. Arizona State may be putting up a lot of points, but its defense will not be able to let up playing against Oregon's heavy home-field advantage. 31-17, Oregon Even with LaMichael James out, the running game will be a major problem for the Sun Devils defense. The Ducks will come out on top and the home field advantage will help. 42-24, Oregon The Ducks will be too fast for the Sun Devis to handle, and have put more than 40 points on the board in four consecutive weeks. Expect that trend to continue as the Ducks run all over Arizona State. 35-21, Oregon Arizona State's defense is not enough to stop Oregon's offense, even with one of the Duck's star running backs out of commission.

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN The "Russian Jayhawk," as the small carving has come to be known, was a gift of gratitude from an unknown Russian prisoner of war to Conrad Hoffman, a Kansas alumnus working with the YMCA in Germany during World War I.

The YMCA post was "an important non-governmental service performing a moral and social function during the First World War," Greenberg wrote in his article "Hoffman's Hawk." According to the article, the YMCA worked in prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, providing education and coordinating social and athletic activities for the prisoners. The YMCA also helped prisoners develop trades and hobbies by giving them tools and arranging exhibitions and sales of their artwork. Hoffman went to Germany in 1915, and it was common for him to receive presents, said the article, from the thankful prisoners who he worked with.

From what I witnessed firsthand last year and have heard this season, players love playing for Gill; they just haven't been able to win for him. Barring any monumental upsets, Gill will have six wins or fewer after two years on the job. CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN The one thing working in Gill's favor right now is his contract, which doesn't include a buyout. If he was fired, he would receive the remaining salary left on his five-year deal. At $2 million per year, he is set to receive $6 million more after this season. It's common knowledge that most college football coaches need at least three seasons to get their affairs in order, and besides that, it's highly unlikely KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger has the resources to shell out around $10 million to dismiss Gill and his assistants as well as hire a completely new staff. But if enough angry, big-money donors bang on Zenger's door and open up their checkbooks — and that's a big 'if' — things could change quickly. stayed for the final act of the Jayhawks' blowout loss to the Cowboys watched their team get out-scored in the fourth quarter to Kansas. Yes, it was against a mix of first, second and third string defenders that the Kansas offense faced in the fourth quarter, but the 14 points Kansas scored at the end of the game Saturday showed that the offense is resilient. The 28 total points Kansas scored helps put in perspective just how poorly this Kansas defense has been playing. - Edited by Jonathan Shorman Scoring 28 points against the No. 6 team in the nation, is no small accomplishment. Scoring 28 points would've been good enough to win 11 FBS games last week and tie two of them. Instead of being the 12th winning team in college football with 28-points or fewer, the Jayhawks lost by 42. Kansas actually scored one more point than Oklahoma State has allowed on average all season. The biggest margin of victory the Cowboys had before Following the Oklahoma State game, coach Turner Gill broke down the defensive woes into two simple categories: "Our guys did not tackle quite as well, as far as early on," Gill said. "And the second thing is the guys were not doing what they were told to do in some cases." have put Kansas on track to win 20 games that week. Of every team that scored more than 34 points and lost in week five of the college football season, Kansas had the largest deficit, falling by 11 points. It's a combination of a lack of athleticism, play-making and tackling that have led to the team's struggles, Gill said. By admitting that some players are not following their coaches' instructions on the field, Gill helps shed some light on the defense, which ranks 34 yards worse than any other FBS team. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon suggested Wednesday that there is only one way to fix the defenses' problem: practice. "When it comes down to it, it's consistency," Patmon said. "We have to go hard in practice no matter what." It appears that the Jayhawks got the message. Freshman linebacker Ben Heeney said a few of the players asked their teammates to pick up their performance on the practice field. "The past two days, our Volu defensive practices have been 100-fold better than what it's been," Heeney said. "I just think we look a lot better even from last week to this week." Gill said the team has practiced with more focus and energy the past two days. He said there is urgency with the team in practice, because they know II CAM B1 4 they have to be on all cylinders against No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday. If the play in practice has improved, the Jayhawks' defensive performance this season has served as a wake up call. - Edited by Alexandra Esposito Volume 124 Issue 39 kansan.com Monday, October 17, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 SPECIAL SECTION Health on the Hill Learn how to maintain your grades, life and well-being.

With the KU Blood Drive's goal of collecting 1,100 units of blood, around 1,300 participants will be needed needed to reach this mark. The drive will be held through the end of this week. There are several different locations and times available for students to donate each day. "There is no substitute for human blood," said Jennifer Green, donor recruitment representative for the American Red Cross. "On any given day, an average of 38,000 units of red blood cells are needed for hospital patients in the United States." According to the drive's website, www.kubloooddrive.com, students can do simple things to make their donation experience more successful. Donors should get plenty of rest the night before and begin drinking plenty of liquids 24 hours prior to donating. They should also avoid caffeinated beverages and focus on water intake. Eating foods that are rich in iron — such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, green leafy vegetables and raisins — will allow your blood to be rich in the elements most needed.

Each composer was given 24 hours to compose an original variation of the Rock Chalk Chant for two musicians to be performed in front of an audience and panel of judges. Composers compete in time-crunched tournament KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com The Rock Chalk Chant is a familiar tune around campus, but eight composers gave the University's traditional chant a new spin in the Helianthis Iron Composer Competition last week. Beginning last Thursday morning at 8 a.m., eight composers had 24 hours to create up to four minutes of music for Friday night's head-to-head, single elimination tournament that took place in Swarthout Recital Hall. Eight musicians from the Helianthus Contemporary Ensemble, a student group that plays modern music, performed each of the original pieces. The 24-hour deadline pressured composers to complete their pieces before 8 a.m. Friday. "The idea was that we wanted a way to perform a lot of the music of KU composers and do it with the student new music ensemble," said Forrest Pierce, an assistant music professor and the head of the Helianthus Ensemble. Jason Charney, a senior from Overland Park, had to balance studying for two midterms with composing his piece, which he finished at 4 a.m. Musicians also operated under time constraints, having only Friday to rehearse for the performance. "It puts you out of your comfort zone to learn a piece in a day that was just written yesterday," said Bo Atlas, a senior from Morgan Hill, Calif., and a tuba player who performed. The Iron Composer competition was based on Food Network's snow "Iron Chef" which shows contestants going head-to-head to create dishes that feature a secret ingredient. The final products are then judged by a panel of celebrities. Professors from the school of music served as judges in Friday's competition.

The army says the men were found guarded by three kidnappers in a safe house in Piedras Negras on Saturday. Soldiers made the discovery during a security sweep in the area that also turned up an abandoned truck filled with 6 tons of marijuana. A statement released Sunday said one of the captive men is from Honduras, while the others are from various parts of Mexico. Piedras Negras sits across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, in the Mexican state of Coahuula, which has been the scene of ongoing battles between drug gangs. Last week the army arrested a major figure from the Zetas drug cartel there. TUNIS, TUNISIA More than 2,000 Tunisians have marched in favor of a secular state that allows press freedom and other rights. The demonstration is a response to protests and violence by Islamist extremists. Tensions are high ahead of an Oct. 23 vote to elect an assembly charged with writing a new constitution. The vote follows the uprising that ousted Tunisia's autocratic leader in January and sparked the Arab Spring. Under a tight police escort, artists and intellectuals and others gathered Sunday in Tunis and chanted against violence extremism and state repression. VATICAN CITY New, ultraconservative groups of Muslims known as Salafists have attacked movie theaters and TV stations in recent days for showing material they say denigrates Islam. Pope Benedict XVI began using a wheeled platform Sunday to navigate the long aisle of St. Peter's Basilica, adopting the device employed by his ailing predecessor to reduce fatigue. As the platform, pushed forward by aides, glided up the marble floor toward the main airtar, Benedict gripped his pastoral staff with one hand and the device's support bar with the other. The 84-year-old pontiff occasionally took his hand off the bar to wave to thousands of faithful flanking his route in the basilica, where he celebrated a Mass dedicated to encouraging missionary zeal. But Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi insisted the platform wasn't being used for any "medical reason." JERUSALEM This week's planned Mideast prisoner swap is unleashing deep anguish in Israel and widespread elation in the Palestinian territories, laying bare the chasm of perspective dividing the two sides. In Israel, the public is agast at having to release convicted perpetrators of suicide bombings, shootings and grisly kidnappings... The Palestinians, with equal vehemence, see the returnees as heroes who fought an occupier at a time of violence and argue moral equivalence between their actions and those of Israel's army. These diverging narratives have been reflected in reactions to the deal, in which Israel will free some 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Sgt. Gilad Schalit, captured by Gaza militants in a cross-border raid in June 2006. CAMPUS Muslim Student Association raises awareness for Islam raises awareness for Islam Islam Awareness Week started Wednesday, Oct. 12, and the Muslim Student Association of KU has provided students and staff information about the religion every day this week and will continue to have events throughout the month. "Essentially, our goal on campus is to increase awareness about Muslims and Islam," said Tasheem Daud, president of the Muslim Student Association, "and also to try and represent the religion in a way that kind of counters some of the stereotypes and misconceptions that are commonly displayed in the media and other places." Anyone wanting to learn more about the religion can come to an open event on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. "We're kind of tailoring that talk to our non-Muslim audience who we've invited to the mosque to sit and listen, observe the services, see how we pray, ask questions if they have any and find some answers; maybe mingle and socialize with some of the other Muslims or non-Muslims that will be here," Daud said. The final events of Islam Awareness Week will happen today and tomorrow. Today the association will host a "Health and Islam" workshop, and tomorrow a panel of converts will share their journeys with a Q&A period afterward. For more information and a list of upcoming events, go to the Student Involvement and Leadership Center website. — Jacob McNiel NATIONAL National Guard helps out with searching for missing baby About 25 members of the guard's 1139th Military Police Company based in nearby Harrisonville, FBI agents and officers from several police and sheriff's departments from nearby communities in Missouri and Kansas split up into several groups and scoured a large wooded area west of the family's home. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Military police from the Missouri National Guard joined the search Sunday for a Kansas City baby, crawling through a wooded area to make sure no evidence was overlooked in the search for the girl reported missing from her home nearly two weeks ago. The baby, Lisa Irwin, was 10 months old when her parents reported her missing Oct. 4. Her parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, said she disappeared from her crib sometime overnight. Previous searches have included the family's neighborhood, nearby wooded areas, a landfill and abandoned homes. Police have said that so far there are no suspects or major leads. Nearly 100 people were involved in the search Sunday, said Bridget Patton, a spokeswoman for the FBI, which has been assisting the Kansas City Police Department. "We put a call out and got a huge response." Patton said. Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the guard to help in the search for one day. Guard spokeswoman Rachel Knight said it was unclear if the guard be involved after Sunday. Knight said the guard members and the other law enforcement groups were going over a large wooded area that had been searched before to make sure nothing was missed. Several guard members dressed in camouflage could be seen heading off to a wooded section in mid-afternoon. Knight said they would be scouring the area with additional manpower and fresh eyes.

A 1921 article in the Kansas City Star said that Hoffman then gave the Jawhawk to the University Daily Kansan to be put on display "in a glass case and have a prominent place in the museum of the department of journalism." A rediscovery In July of 2009, University archivist Becky Schulte got an email from the School of Journalism. Someone had found the Russian Jayhawk — his legs snapped at the ankles — in Stauffer-Flint Hall and wondered if Schulte wanted to keep him in the archives in Spencer Research Library. "We placed him in a box and added him to our archive database." Schulte said. Schulte also added the Russian Jayhawk to her retrospective on the Jayhawk, a presentation she's given in Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago and Wichita. A little more than a year later, Schulte brought the Russian Jayhawk out of storage to show him to a Kansan reporter who was writing an article on the archives. Shortly after that, Greenberg saw a link on Facebook to the Kansan article. He was struck both by the Jayhawk's history as a "symbol of appreciation" and his design. "It's something that's typically Russian in its technique and comes from a craftsman tradition, but it's also a typically American subject," Greenberg said. He made an appointment with Schulte to see the carving and, after receiving permission from the School of Journalism, started making plans to display the Jayhawk in the Slavic offices. A new home repaired. Greenberg sent out an appeal to alumni and students, raising $200 for the work, and the Spencer Research Library contributed the rest. Displaying the carving wasn't as simple as moving it from the archives to Wescoe Hall, however. First, the Jayhawk had to be Whitney Baker, the Spencer's conservator, also took temperature and light readings of the case where Greenberg wanted to display the Jayhawk. "He's made of an organic material — wood — and he will decay," Schulte said. "What we do is try and limit that decay as much as possible, which is one of the reasons he normally lives in an acid-free box in the dark." The Slavic department also purchased a meter to sit in the case with the Jayhawk and will send monthly readings to the archives so its employees can monitor the carving's environment. The lajawk will only be on display for one year to minimize any potential damage. A celebration of compassion Nearly a year after Greenberg first heard about the Russian Jayhawk, almost 40 people crammed into a small, book-lined room in the Slavic department offices, spilling out into the adjacent hallway. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little came, as did Danny Anderson, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students, alumni and faculty were in attendance as well. The tiny Russian Jayhawk brought them all together; a reminder, Greenberg said, that "objects aren't just objects. They have meanings and context." And the meaning of this object? "He is a symbol of all that we are: small, fragile, noble and able to bridge cultures if only we try," Greenberg said at the ceremony. "I dedicate our Russian Jayhawk to the next hundred years of KU students. May they continue to learn another language, another mindset and show the world the great things that Kansans bring to the world." - Edited by Mike Lavieri COMPOSER FROM PAGE 1 clarinet or vibraphone and trumpet.

The two composers, Ian Boswell and Daniel McIntosh, were then given 15 minutes to compose totally new pieces of music.

Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said The indictment, handed down Oct. 6 but sealed because Finn was out of the country, says the bishop failed to report suspicions against the priest from Dec. 16, 2010, when the photos were discovered, to May 11, 2011, when the diocese turned them over to police. "Now that the grand jury investigation has resulted in this indictment, my office will pursue this case vigorously," Baker said. "I want to ensure there are no future failures to report resulting in other unsuspecting victims." Finn denied any wrongdoing in a statement Friday and said he had begun work to overhaul the diocese's reporting policies and act on key findings of a diocese-compassed investigation into its practices. "For our part, we will meet these an- nouncements with a steady resolve and a vigorous defense," said Finn, who offi- cials said was not under arrest. Finn faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor. The diocese also faces a $1,000 fine. After the Catholic sex abuse scandal erupted in 2002, grand juries in several regions reviewed how bishops handled claims against priests. However, most of the allegations were decades old and far beyond the statute of limitations. Until Finn was indicted, no U.S. bishop had been criminally charged over how he responded to abuse claims, although some bishops had struck deals with local authorities to avoid prosecution against their dioceses. BLOOD FROM PAGE 1 Associated Press to donating blood," Green said. "This involves a series of questions and a mint physical to see if it is healthy for this person to donate." According to Green, once the blood is collected, each unit is tested for more than fifteen different ailments. Oftentimes, the blood is broken down into different components — red cells, plasma and platelets — so that each unit can help as many as three different patients. The blood received from the KU Blood drive will go to hospitals in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. There is also the possibility that the blood could be sent to other locations across the country if there is a shortage. "If someone you know has received a blood product, it was because someone choose to be a blood donor," Green said. "Donating blood is a great way to help others, doesn't cost you any money and takes only a little over an hour of your time." Edited by Laura Nightengale YOU'RE INVITED!

McClatchy-Tribune MOVIES MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE 'Hurt Locker' case dismissed "The Hurt Locker" has defused a bomb, with a judge throwing out a case filed by a U.S. serviceman who claimed the 2010 best picture winner had appropriated his story. Sgt. Jeffrey Sarver had filed suit in the winter of 2010 against Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal claiming that the film, which Bigelow directed from Boal's screenplay, used significant details from Sarver's name and likeness in portraying the adrenalized bomb-disposal expert Will James (Jeremy Renner). It also claimed that the movie defamed Sarver with the James character. On Thursday, however, U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Nguyen dismissed the claim. Boal had spent time with Sarver when reporting an article for Playboy; the writer was embedded with Sarver's unit in Iraq and also interviewed him back in the U.S. In issuing her ruling, Nguyen said that there were significant changes to the character, which meets the legal requirement that LIBERTY HALL accessibility info (783) 754-1972 SENNA (P013) 4:40 7:10 9:20 CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS 4:40 7:00 THE DEBT ON 9:30 ONLY TODAYS TIMES ONLY!!

To the contrary, 'The Hurt Locker' depicts Will James as having compassion for the Iraqi citizens whose "Plaintiff alleges that he is defamed because Will James is portrayed as a bad father who does not love his son. However, the Court does not agree with Plaintiff's characterization of Will James as a man who does not love his son.

Romney has history on his side in GOP race POLITICS Last week, I wrote that tea party conservatives surely couldn't stomach the idea of wishy-washy former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) as the GOP presidential nominee in 2012. After watching establishment Republicans lose or withdraw from Senate primaries in Alaska, Nevada, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, and Pennsylvania amid the tea party wave of 2010, it seemed perfectly plausible, even probable, that Republicans would coalesce around a hard-line conservative presidential nominee. Conservatives still aren't sold on Romney. Look no further than the rise in the polls of businessman Herman Cain – or the previous polling successes of real estate developer and TV host Donald Trump, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), and Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) – and it becomes clear that hard-core conservatives are still seeking a right-wing alternative. The problem is that they have yet to settle on one - hence the conventional wisdom that Romney is the inevitable nominee. By Luke Brinker lbrinker@kansan.com An establishment triumph in the GOP nomination contest would fit the historical pattern. Although the tea party insurgents who mounted congressional bids last year demonstrated the power of rank-and-file conservatives' ballots, the presidential nomination is a completely different ballgame. In the past 15 presidential elections, Republicans have nominated candidates favored by members of the party elite 12 times: 1952 (Eisenhower), 1956 (Ike, again), 1960 (Nixon), 1968 (Tricky Dick again), 1972 (Nixon), 1976 (Ford), 1988 (George H.W. Bush), 1992 (Bush), 1996 (Dole), 2000 (George W. Bush), 2004 (Bush), and 2008 (McCain). In each of those elections except 1956, candidates who were more conservative ran against the eventual nominee and lost. In 1964, conservatives scored a victory with the nomination of Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), but President Lyndon B. Johnson decimated Goldwater in the general election. In 1980, former Gov. Ronald Reagan (R-Calif.) defeated establishment types like his eventual running mate George H.W. Bush – and went on to win the general election. Whether his re-namination in 1984 constitutes a conservative win is a matter of dispute. By that point, Reagan had moderated his foreign policy positions vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, leading movement conservatives like Howard Phillips to call (to no avail) for a conservative primary challenge. What lessons can we draw from the propensity of the GOP to put forth establishment nominees? Simply put, Republicans want to win. Goldwater's disastrous performance in 1964 underscored the dangers of an extremist nominee, and while Reagan trounced President Jimmy Carter in the electoral college in 1980, he barely won 50 percent of the popular vote. (An independent candidate, John B. Anderson, won seven percent that year.) Ordinary people vote in primaries and caucuses, but high-level fundraisers and contributors can bolster candidates seen as more electable through the sheer power of money. This coming year, those GOP donors will surely take note of what happened to tea party candidates in states like Nevada, Colorado, and Delaware last year. Against unpopular or weak Democratic candidates, the tea partiers blew the Republicans' chances of recapturing control of the Senate. The moderate alternatives may not have voted the conservative line 100 percent of the time, but would Republicans really have preferred a Democratic senator instead? Given the GOP's animus to toward President Barack Obama, party apparatchiks and moneymen will want to nominate a candidate with the best chance of defeating the president in 2012. While a poor economy could make Obama vulnerable against any nominee, the safest bet is still Romney. Luke Brinker is a senior from Topeka majoring in history.

Today, you can literally take the word "awareness" and add it to any illness, tragedy, or social situation - breast cancer awareness, autism awareness, domestic violence awareness, and — every college campus' favorite — hazing awareness. Before I get into this, I'm not questioning the intentions of these organizations. There is nothing wrong with raising money for a good cause. But there is a point where using awareness to raise money becomes a way for us to soothe our consciences more than it actually helps people. During October, which is breast cancer awareness month, a series of 5k runs take place, tables with posters urging us to fight for "the cure" are set up, people with megaphones shout along Wescoe Beach for donations, and pink ribbons are handed out like hot cakes. We need to call this what it is – raising money, not awareness. Giving money, unlike being truly aware, is impersonal and can be done without emotional investment. It's useful and needed but doesn't even come close to giving us an understanding of cancer. Breast cancer and I became acquainted a few years ago when a close family member of mine was diagnosed with it. Watching a loved one go through treatment and watching her body slowly emaciate because of chemotherapy and radiation gave me a stark view of human mortality. (She survived, and I have never met a stronger, more beautiful, or more selfless person). So when I see the activities of breast cancer awareness month, I question the actual "awareness" people have, because cancer isn't pink, uplifting, or curable. Cancer sucks. So wouldn't it be more meaningful, instead of raising awareness by asking for money, to raise awareness by helping those who suffer? Take the efforts you would use towards raising awareness and make a meal for a cancer patient, babysit their children, help clean their house, or just sit and talk to them. Let those who suffer know that their lives always have and always will matter. I've been using the example of breast cancer, but this idea can be applied to any social issue. Want to be aware of homelessness or poverty? Go serve at a homeless shelter. Know someone who has an illness? Go help them. Don't put five dollars in a jar and think you've done your duty to society. Our version of awareness has become a wall of altruism we hide behind so that we don't have to face the blunt reality of life. We let things like cancer, homelessness, AIDS win when we forget the suffering individuals. A community that is socially aware is made up of individuals doing meaningful acts for other individuals, not of individuals wearing shirts that say "save the ta-ta's."

That might sound crazy to hear from someone who is supposed to write about movies and television for this newspaper, but it's true. While I was acting like I was studying for midterms in the library, I discussed with a friend of mine why we hate them. She told me she hates movies because she doesn't like to commit that much time to go see one. I agreed with ner, but for some reason I was still able to commit three hours of that day to watching "Community" reruns. Once I realized that I spent more time watching television before I went to the library that day than I would have spent seeing a movie, it made a lot more sense. I don't hate movies because they take time out of my day. I hate movies because they are too short. Dylan Lysen dlysen@kansan.com The reason we watch movies and television is to forget our boring lives and be immersed in a story. We live vicariously through characters on the screen. Batman does some awesome things that I will never accomplish because I'm a 5-foot-6 dweeb that is not nearly as handsome as Christian Bale. So when I go to the theater, I use Christian Bale's Batman (or whatever character I'm watching) to forget how lame my life happens to be. I like to think that I am the hero of the story, and not just a boring kid from Kansas. Television does the same thing, but there is something different. I recently saw the film "Moneyball" and loved the whole thing. At one point in my life, I actually wanted to be a general manager in MLB. So I lived through Brad Pitt as he portrayed Bill Beane and forgot that I had to write this column, study for Italian, and read a bunch of boring literature for English. I was able to live as Billy Beane and forget my life as Dylan Lysen. The only problem was that it only lasted two hours. The story lived and died within two hours. Television doesn't do that. In television, a story is told throughout a series of episodes. The story can evolve throughout time and has many different resolutions compared to a movie that has one central theme and one resolution. This is why I love television. I live my life through the characters, but that doesn't end in two hours. I'm allowed to live through these characters through a whole season, which last from August to May (and then for more seasons after that, if you're lucky). When I watch "Community," I like to think that I'm a part of their study group, and dealing with all the same sheenanigans they go through. So when I'm in the library (not studying), I'm really just acting like I'm in the show "Community." Television is a lot more like real life than movies. Television series can be cancelled out of nowhere, they can die just like we can. Movies live and die in the same day. Television series have more time to grow and take on an identity. Just like I do as a person. Lysen is a Junior from Andover in journalism. UDK Which conference do you think Missouri belongs in? Follow us on Twitter @UDK_Opinion.

PAGE 6A MONDAY OCTOBER 17,2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LOCAL Occupy Lawrence sets up permanent camp I LUKE RANKER Iranker@kansan.com Occupy Lawrence entered a new phase this weekend, with demonstrators setting up a permanent camp in South Park after two weeks of rallies. T. J. Campsey and Sean Maupin, Lawrence residents and Occupy Lawrence members, said the group, which advocates for local government change, isn't sure how long it will be allowed to camp in the park, but so far city officials have been willing to work with the activists. "We're going to play it by ear and see where it goes," Campsey said. He said the city had opened public restrooms in the park for their use, but the major challenge for the demonstrators would be the weather. As the weather gets colder, Campsey said the group would need blankets, sleeping bags, coats, gloves and other supplies to function. Maupin said that the Lawrence Social Service League was prepared to donate various items the group might need. "We need to get Internet access so we can connect to our brethren all around the world," Maupin said. The Occupy Lawrence movement has expressed solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, but locally they are focusing on changing certain city ordinances. "The downtown camping ordinance is an attack on the homeless population — our most vulnerable population," Campsey said. "The right to occupy public space is a fundamental right." According to the city code, it is unlawful for individuals to occupy public parks between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. However, the director of Parks and Recreation can grant exemptions. Maupin, who said he had lived in various parts of the country, was more worried about larger cities with high unemployment. Maupin was focusing on the global issue of reforming the financial systems. "We like to see more account ability in the government and in corporations," Maupin said. Claire Kerwin, a senior from St. Louis, said the movement wasn't as much a protest as a call to awareness. She said one of her favorite things about it was the diversity of ideas in the group. "Everyone comes at it from different points of view." Kerwin said. "It unites a lot of different issues." Kerwin said she is involved in immigrant rights. She said that issue has a direct correlation to people who oppose corporate lobbying. "Ultimately, I support occupying and letting people know we're pissed off". Kerwin said. "Ultimately, I support occupying and letting people know we're pissed off." She said she would like to see change in the government, but because of the number of issues the movement covered, she could not pin down a specific solution. Kerwin said the challenge for her would be finding a balance CLAIRE KERWIN Occupy Lawrence member "I'm busy every day. I don't think I have a night off." Kerwin said. "It feels good but it's also overwhelming." NAMANTHA VENKATRAM INDIANA Kerwin said she was initially hesitant about the movement but became involved after attending an Occupy Kansas City rally that had more than 600 attendees. She said she then attended an assembly in Lawrence where there were 150 to 200 local residents, but only a few KU students.

Demonstrators gathered in the Aggieville district of the city, in the first event connected with the Occupy movement to take place in Manhattan. Signs such as "Bail Hay Not Out" garnered four to five honeks per minute from passing cars. "The word spread like fire," Dorsey said. "Thank God for social networking." College-aged individuals appeared to constitute a plurality, if not a majority, of those present. Demonstrator Simone Dorsey, a senior at Kansas State, said students organized the event earlier in the week. "Go and do it," he said.

It provides hundreds of events each year to give students and alumni alike the ability to connect and celebrate their years at Kansas. "We exist to connect alumni to the University no matter where they live or how long they've been away from the hill," said Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president of communications for the association. Through the organization, alumni have the opportunity to support recruitment efforts by assisting with events and writing letters to prospective students. Alumni living in Kansas also advocate their legislators to fund higher education. To keep alumni connected, the association sponsors 525 events across the country, half of which do not revolve around athletics. These include networking receptions, tours of museums and community service projects. "The KU Alumni Association's mission says it all. "Everything we do strengthens KU," said Stefani Gerson, coordinator of student programs. "Alumni are the ever important thread that keeps a university connected with the past, present and future." The Student Alumni Leadership Board acts as a liaison between the KU Alumni Association and the Student Alumni Association. "The goal is to help foster connections with the alumni association while you're on campus with the hopes of staying connected with alumni association and KU after walking down the hill," said Hunter Hess, senior from McPherson and president of the Student Alumni Leadership Board. Hess has served on the Alumni Leadership Board since September 2008 and as president since January 2011. He points to leadership development, event planning and a connection between students and alumni as being part of his experience on the board, which consists of 40 members. "The board serves as the connection between the current KU campus and the alumni association, and we provide the student perspective regarding events," Hess said. Student members of the alumni association are given the opportunity to meet alumni through various events during the year, such as the upcoming Dinner with a Dozen Hawks on Oct. 26. Members will dine and converse with distinguished KU alumni from numerous career fields to get a better idea of what life after graduation is like. Other sponsored events include Wake Up KU on Oct. 19, where members receive hot chocolate and coffee at Wescoe Beach. The association also invites student members to a dinner during finals week and sponsors Home Football Friday, where all students are invited to enjoy free food, drinks, dessert, music and yard games at Adams Alumni Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Friday before a home game. The association also supports the Jayhawk Network that students may use to connect with graduated members. In addition to a T-shirt, members receive a water bottle, drawstring backpack, pint glass or a portfolio each year they are in school at Kansas. More than 1,000 students belong to the association, which costs $25 per year or $75 for four years. During the summer, association staff put on 143 events in 90 days, traveling more than 83,000 miles around the country to the association's 61 chapters, 20 of which are located in Kansas. The events, called the Hawk Days of Summer, saw a turnout of more than 8,000 javahaws. Since 1996, alumni in the Kansas City area have enjoyed the Rock Chalk Ball held in April each year, which is a black tie event organized to celebrate being Jayhawks for life. "The association helps KU students understand KU tradition and interact with alumni at events to get a sense of how a lifelong Jayhawk commitment can be beneficial." Sanner said.

Six teams of four battled it out in the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center for the ultimate prize of gold medals and Chipotle gift cards. Marina Rasuck, a senior from Minas Gerais, Brazil, said the Hispanic American Leadership Organization came to the Brazilian Student Association with the idea of creating a collaborative event for National Hispanic Heritage month. She said a soccer tournament seemed like the obvious idea. "When I used to live in Brazil, I watched a lot of soccer tournaments." Rusuck said. "It becomes very intense with the screaming and yelling at the TV" Rasuck did not have a favorite team for Saturday's tournament, she said, but Antonio Simoes, an associate professor in the Spanish and Portuguese department, was the plaver to watch. Simoes said he has played soccer for as long as he can remember. His favorite team is Brazil's Vasco da Gama, he said. Saturday, Simoes played with members of the Brazilian Student win," Simoes said before the match. "I can't bet on that, but I think they will." Simoes said that if his team, won he would hang the winning medal in his office. However, the Mosasaurus had their own idea of how the match "It becomes very intense with the screaming and yelling at the TV." Association and Hispanic American Leadership Organization hed never met before. Despite their lack of experience playing together, Simoes's team made it to the final two against the team the Mosaursas.

Simoes said he would continue to participate in as many Brazilian Student Association events as possible. He also hopes to participate in more Hispanic American Leaders Organization events. "They are very active. Simões said, 'I can't keep up with them.' The Brazilian Student Association meets Fridays at 5:30 p.m. at Henry's.

COMMENTARY Defense shows progress Does this mean the Jayhawks can take down the undefeated Wildcats? Probably not, but it's a start. "The defense really grew this week," freshman running back Darian Miller said. "They came out with a mission and said that's what they wanted to do." Edited by Mandy Matney Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com When junior safety Bradley McDougall was asked about the success of the Jayhawk defense in the red zone after Saturday's game, he couldn't have been more proud. "Usually when we get down there, we are focused on the wrong thing," McDougald said. "We knew what we were doing and we played for each other." Ask Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles about the same scenario and the story changes. GEARING UP "It was more us," Broyles said of Oklahoma's lack of red zone prowess. "If we're going to be stopped it was because of us." So what happened? Did the Kansas defense shut down Oklahoma's red zone offense, or did the Sooners defeat themselves? It was the Kansas offense that was most impressed with its performance. It's too easy to say the Sooners didn't execute. The Kansas defense did what it needed to do give the Jayhawks a strong chance to upset the third-ranked team in the nation. Forget that Oklahoma fell into a trap game; coming off an emotional victory against Texas last week, the Sooners weren't exactly pumped to head to Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma opened up flat and the Kansas defense made them pay for it, and, in the process, learned that it remembers how to stop an offense. Kansas didn't shock the world by any means — the Sooners' first three-and-out was more due to quarterback Landry Jones' inability to hit his receivers than the Jayhawks forcing bad throws — but it shocked the fans who have been dumbfounded by the team's past performances. Forget for a minute that the offense couldn't capitalize on its opportunities; picture the defensive showing from Saturday night in any of the Jayhawks three previous losses. Suddenly they are a different team. The Jayhawks forced three turnovers and were able to follow through on all of their 89 tackles, something Kansas has had major issues with in its last three games. By looking at the numbers, the Kansas defense played Oklahoma on par with what Texas did a week earlier. On 50 passing attempts against Texas, Jones accumulated 367 yards as the Sooners put up 55 points on the Longhorns. With 48 passing plays, Jones racked up 363 yards while the Jayhawks let up 47 — with 17 points coming in the fourth quarter. It was what every coach, player and fan had been hoping to see: improvement. Where Jones had averaged 70 percent completion this season, Saturday he was held to 10 percent less. It was clear that one of the higher-touted college quarterbacks was feeling the pressure of the Kansas counterpart. NO NEED TO WORRY MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Coach Bill Self enters the court on a customized motorcycle with Kansas decals. Friday was the 27th annual Late Night in the Phog. "Expectations should never change." Self told the crowd. MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com Wearing a leather jacket and chaps, sunglasses indoors, all black, coach Bill Self rode to center court at Allen Fieldhouse on a custom-made Jayhawk motorcycle and put any worries to rest. "Expectations should never change." Self said. Hours after the NCAA ruled freshmen Ben McLemore and jamari Trayl望利 for the season, Jayhawk fans were revived with Late Night in the Phog on Friday night, a celebration of a new season and a preface to Saturday's first team practice. Junior guard Travis Releford scored 16 points, nine from behind the arc. Releford was a member of the Blue team that topped the Red team 40-33 in the intrasquad scrimmage. "You're not going to shoot the ball like that every night," Self said after the game. Releford converted three of four shots from 3-point range and his teammate, junior forward Thomas Robinson, stepped back and hit a few before the perimeter. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, member of the Red team, led all scorers with 17 points and showcased his speed and polished shot. "That dude can get to the paint," Self said of Taylor. Boxer Victor Ortiz surprised the crowd with his presence, knocking out Barry Hinson, director of men's basketball operations, at a makeshift rine in the middle of the court. "I'll do anything for this school." Ortiz said. "I love this school." Actor and alumnus Rob Riggle refereed the match and cracked jokes about Ortiz's recently failed fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry laughed at ringside. "Enough with the headbutt." Riggle said, poking at Ortiz's questionable headburt at Mayweather. A pigtailed Scot Pollard announced the fight to the crowd in a sleeveless shirt, tattooed arms in all their glory as he ridiculed Hinson about his small stature. "I think you killed him," Pollard said to Ortiz after the playful bout. McLemore and Traylor sat on the side and rooted for their teammates. "I wanted them to be a part of Late Night" Self said. Edited by C.J. Matson Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball to freshman running back Tony Pierson during Saturday's loss to No. 3 Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium, Kansas trailed by 10 at halftime but didn't score in the second half, losing 47-17. FOOTBALL Missed opportunities cost Jayhawks KLM 23 2 KANSAS MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com All week, Kansas players harped on the opportunity ahead with No. 3 Oklahoma coming to Lawrence in a primetime game. When the lights clicked off early Sunday morning, the team had missed more of an opportunity than they ever would have imagined. The Kansas defense, which had been chewed up and spit out in just about every game this season, actually slowed down the potent Sooner offense. After trailing 27-17 at halftime, the defense kept a Kansas offense in the game, despite it only gaining five yards in the third quarter. "It was good to see our players come out and execute. They played with a lot more confidence and that was key," coach Turner Gill said the Kansas defense. "They played pretty well against a very good offensive program and that's always good to see." The underlying message in Gill's postgame remarks was that after getting embarrassed twice this season, the Jayhawks competed well against what is probably the highest-ranked team they will face all year. In the Jayhawks' 47-17 loss, it was the first sign of progress from the Kansas defense all season. While the Jayhawks' defense showed improvements, the offense took a second-half dive, and a grand one at that. NICK SMITH/KANSAN Both teams threw and landed first-half punches, but only the Sooners would connect on any second half blows. The Jayhawk offense, which kept up with Oklahoma for the first two quarters, became all too predictable in the second half, often running the ball up the middle on both first and second down. "The they kind of caught on to some of the things that we were doing in the first hall," freshman running back Darrian Miller said. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long had a different thought as to why the second half collapse took place. Giving credit to the highly touted Sooners, Long said the Sooners' defensive success in the second half was most likely a result of the coaches coming in at halftime and saying, "Enough is enough." Long's answer to why the layhawks offense couldn't get moving in the second half had nothing to do with scheme and all to do with the overwhelming talent of the Oklahoma defense. "They just stuffed us," Long said. "Obviously they just stepped it up a notch and proved to why they're number one." Despite the second half collapse of the Kansas offense, the Sooners, who rank first in the coaches poll, gave the Jayhawks every chance to keep the game close and even take the lead. in the second quarter after Kansas recovered a fumble on the Oklahoma 25-yard line. Instead, the Jayhawks moved the ball seven yards towards the end zone before kicking a 36-yard field goal to tie the game at 10-10. One of those chances came early The jayhawks also had five offensive possessions in the second half, trailing by 16 points. The Jayhawks could not cut into the Sooners' lead on any of those possessions. For the first time all season, it was the Kansas defense that gave the team a chance to win the game. The offense, and the team as a whole, barely missed out on an op portunity to shock the nation and take down the Sooners. "The number one team came in here," sophomore running back James Sims said. "We had them, we just didn't execute like we wanted to." Edited by C.J. Matson PAGE 2B MONDAY, OCTOBER 17,2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "When dangerous game."

MISSOURI 52 IOWA STATE 17 Missouri needed to make a statement to prove that this was not a lost season, and it got it from quarterback James Franklin.

MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team got off to one of its best starts this season since coach Ray Bechard took over in 1998. Now, only six games in to conference play and on the heels of a heartbreaking loss at Oklahoma, Bechard said it is fair to label this the most frustrating stretch of his career. "You can classify it like that," Bechard said. "It would be one thing for teams to be overwhelming us, but just looking back at all the opportunities we've had, if there is a level of frustration it's because we've been playing at a high level." The Jayhawks (12-7, 0-6) blew a two-sets-to-none lead to a ranked team for the third time this season, falling to the No. 22 Sooners (18-5, 5-2) on Saturday, 25-23, 25-19, 23-25, 19-25, 9-15. The Jayhawks dominated statistically, out-killing the Sooners 68-58, out-digging them 74-64 and out-assisting them 65-53. But in the decisive fifth set, Bechard's squad let the Sooners jump out to a speedy 4-0 lead. "Once the momentum went their way, they just took off," Bechard said. Sophomore defensive specialist Brianne Riley led the Jayhawks with 17 digs. Riley was one of four Jayhawks with double-digit digs on the evening. She said that despite the team's strong starts, it has a clear problem getting over the hump and finishing off opponents. "It was just an issue of finishing," Riley said. "That's something we need to figure out together." Bechard shuffled his lineup, opting to start senior setter Nicole Tate over sophomore setter Kara Wehrs. Tate finished with a game-high 59 assists. "Nicole has been through this a lot of times before as a senior, and when you're in a bit of a funk you have to change it up a bit," Bechard said. "She performed well, but we have all the confidence in the world that when Kara gets another shot at it, she'll do a great job." Tate said she could not pinpoint any reason why the Jayhawks seem to struggle finishing off opponents. But she said she has been through adversity before and is confident this team can overcome. "Yeah, I guess it is a rough patch," Tate said. "I don't know if it's the toughest I've been through. I've played a lot of volleyball, so it's tough to say." Edited by C.J.

"The biggest thing was the way we competed," coach Mark Francis said. "Tech's a really feisty team, and you have to match their fight. "I think, some of the games lately, we haven't necessarily had that consistently, and I thought yesterday we had that from everybody that went on the field." Texas Tech tried to capitalize on some early scoring chances, but freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud kept them at bay by grabbing eight saves on the night. "She kept us in the game a lot," King said. "She's really good at communicating and just keeping us organized and making some saves that we thought she wasn't going to make." The Red Raiders started out with a frantic pace in the first 10 minutes of the game, but the Jayhawks controlled the tempo after the early surge. "This was one of the first games where we played a full 90 minutes and came out from the beginning ready to play," sophomore midfielder Amy Grow said. The goal pushed Berry into a tie for fourth place in Kansas history with 52 career points. In the 30th minute, Kansas broke the scoreless tie when junior forward Whitney Berry put the Jayhawks on the board with a penalty kick. Kansas took advantage of a yellow card in the 59th minute when Grow knocked in a long-range free kick from just inside the midfield mark. "She's really good at communicating and just keeping us organized and making some saves." right post and flew into the back left corner to give the Jayhawks a 2-0 lead. "I didn't have intentions of scoring." Grow said. "I was just The ball ricocheted off the BRITTANY KING sophomore defender playing the ball in and their keeper wasn't ready for it." The Red Raiders crept back into the game during the 81st minute when senior defender Casey McCall scored an empty net goal to cut the lead to 2-1. ing the Jayhawks' third goal from the right side of the penalty box off an assist from fellow freshman midfielder Liana Salazar. However, freshman forward Jamie Fletcher responded by scor- With the victory, the Jayhawks improved to 10-6 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12. Kansas caught a break by not having a game on Sunday for the first time all season. It proved to be a necessary day of rest after a lengthy trip to west Texas. Kansas' third leg of its fourgame road trip will be on Friday, Oct. 21, against Missouri in Columbia, Mo. The game begins at 6:30 p.m. - Edited by C.J.

Grade: C- Defense The defensive numbers of 610 total yards allowed and 47 points allowed were not impressive, but the defense had multiple goal-line stands that kept OU out of the endzone and kept the Jayhawks in the game.

Punter Ron Doherty had some of his shorter punts on the year but did have a game long of 57 and placed four punts within the opponents 20. Coaching Grade: C+ The Jayhawks coaching staff made strides on the defensive side of the ball but for the fourth consecutive game, the opponent's defense made better half-time adjustments which stymied the Kansas offense.

BELLEMBOURG Delay of Game PETER SCHNEIDER Sophomore running back James Sims: If you take out Sims' 56-yard first quarter touchdown run, Sims ran the ball 10 times for 19 yards. The Jayhawks' running game is the cornerstone to their offense, when they don't get it going, their offense struggles like it did on Saturday. Sims Glass Half Full The Jayhawks now have arguably their two toughest opponents off their schedule, after getting Oklahoma State and Oklahoma out of the way. If the Jayhawks continue to improve, they might be able to get their first win in the Big 12 conference this season. The Jayhawks face in-state rival Kansas State next week. The Wildcats have been the surprise of the Big 12 this year, starting out the season 6-0 and ranked in the top 20. Both teams will be excited as the Wildcats try to stay unbeaten. Still Questioning Can the Jayhawks put together a full game in conference play? Every week one side of the ball is clicking and playing well enough to keep the Jayhawks in the game, the other side fails to do their share. If the Jayhawks want to win a game in conference this year, both sides will have to play well together for a full game. Biggest Answer Running back Darrian Miller struggled like the rest of the offense in the second half, but with he ran hard enough in the first half to prove he is the most talented running back on the roster. Defense progresses but not quite enough epadway@kansan.com ETHAN PADWAY The scoreboard didn't show it, and the box score doesn't show it, but the Kansas football team's defense played the best it has all season and kept the Jayhawks in the game. For the first time since their season opener, the defense didn't wilt every time its opponents got hands on the football. The defense kept it a two-possession ball game until well into the fourth quarter. Defensive coordinator Vic Defensive Shealy said the team worked on making its defensive plays less predictable. "That was a big emphasis on Thursday and even in our walk through yesterday where we "A loss is a loss and we're trying to win football games. I'm not in it to pat our guys on the back as far as a moral win." could really do some things where we wouldn't show our hand quite as much," Shealy said. Instead of coaches using their hands to signal the defensive calls, the coaches held up boards from the sideline that had pictures of rappers, cartoons, and actors, each of which corresponded to different defensive play calls. After being embarrassed by Oklahoma State's fast-paced offense a week ago, the Kansas coaching staff changed how they relayed their signals to the defense. TURNER GILL coach "It's just concepts," junior safety Bradley McDougald said. "Once we see the sign, we just read and react." The Jayhawks defense came out with a fire not seen this year. Defenders flew around to the line of scrimmage trying to make plays. Sooner junior quarterback Landry Jones struggled with his reads, and even though the secondary's youth was evident at times, players had tight coverage in breaking up pass attempts that earlier in the season went for touchdowns. "We were just focused and wanting to win the ball game, didn't really care who it was, and it just so happened to be primetime so that's pretty cool that the whole nation could see," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. A big part of the improvement Part of that can be attributed to trying to prove themselves against a top-ranked team under the lights on national television. came in the jay- hawks red-zone defense. Kansas held the nation's ninth-ranked scoring offense to just 30 points through the first three quarters, including a stretch from the middle All year the Jayhawk players have talked about their need to create more turnovers. Against Oklahoma the Jayhawks forced two fumbles and Johnson recorded the first interception of his career. of the second quarter to the beginning of the fourth where it allowed the Sooners to enter the red zone four times, yet they emerged with only three field goals. Although the Jayhawks showed signs of progress, the team still allowed 610 yards of offense in their 47-17 loss to Oklahoma. "A loss is a loss and we're trying to win football games," coach Turner Gill said. "I'm not in it to pat our guys on the back as far as a moral win. We made some progress—that's what I told them, that they made progress today—and that is what we are always going to try to do, improve." Edited by Laura Nightengale PAGE 6B MONDAY,OCTOBER 17,2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SOFTBALL Kansas concludes season undefeated ASHLEIGH LEE alee@kansan.com The softball team continued its fall season winning streak against Labette Community College and Seminole State Sunday afternoon at Arrocha Ballpark. Kansas defeated Labette 12-0 and Seminole State 8-0. Freshman pitcher Alicia Pille had a no-hitter against Labette with 11 strikeouts and one walk. "It was just exciting," said Pille. "It was my first full game that I got to throw. I was taking advantage of it." Pitching was not the part showing strengths during the games. Junior outfielder Maggie Hull hit a triple, bringing home sophomore infielder Ashley Newman during the first game, and had two more. Hull went 5-for-7 on the day. During the second game, junior infielder Miah Montgomery hit a home run straight past center field during the third inning, bringing home junior outfielder Rosie Hull and did it again in the fourth when she was first up to bat. "I was just seeing the ball well," Montgomery said. "Sometimes you step in the batter's box and you feel really confident and feel really well about it, and today was one of those days for me. And it paid off." At the end of the game the team's intensity drove the final two victories for the fall season. Coach Megan Smith could not be more proud of the players. "We have had a really strong fall so far," Smith said, "and we told the girls that today was the last day to compete against another team, to make the most of it and focus on each individual pitch." With the end of the fall season comes much to look forward to in the spring season. The team's main goal is to get to regionals, but that won't come without some challenges. "One of the things that we mentioned to the girls today on what we needed to work on the most was the mental side of things," Smith said. "The strategy, the pitches you're looking for when you're up to bat, the more detailed things." The Jayhawks ended the fall season 6-0 and hope to continue that into the regular season.

Knight had one rebound in the scrimmage. High expectations for freshmen this season KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com After only 10 practices, freshman guard Natalie Knight broke into the starting lineup for the women's basketball team's exhibition games in Italy this summer. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Knight has been performing well in early workouts and that the team will expect a lot from her this season. Knight was named the Gatorade Kansas High School Girl Player of the Year for her work during her senior season. "She makes shots, and she guards better than most young players do." Henrickson said. "She is consistent." The women's basketball team returns seven letter-winners. They add five freshmen with the expectation for at least one newcomer to start and the rest to play valuable minutes this season. During the summer trip to Italy, the Jayhawks had a chance to get to know one another better while also playing two exhibition games. They were given 10 days to practice before their 10-day tour of Italy in August. Junior guard Angel Goodrich said she is impressed with the speed that the freshmen have adjusted. She admitted that she struggled and had less time to learn before her first competition. "They have had to learn quickly and they have impressed me," Goodrich said. "They work hard. They push. We have been pushing them to work hard, and they have a lot of potential." Henrickson said the talent and the enthusiasm of the freshmen will be exciting to watch this season. "They are funny; they think they are really funny," Henrickson said. "They are fun to be around." As the Jayhawks added a recruit at each position, the team acquired the depth that it has been looking for. "I have seen a lot of really good things from all of them," Henrickson said. "Natalia is the only one out of the gate — that is a no-brainer." - Edited by Mandy Matney BCS STANDINGS (Average BCS score calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive, USA Today Coaches and Computer polls.)

This capped off a performance that included a block on junior forward Carolyn Davis and a rare three-point basket for Sutherland, a 6-foot-2 forward. "I came out here to have fun to have fun with my teammates and we all had fun," Sutherland said. "We got to show our talents so that people out here who don't come to our games can come to our games." Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she is expecting a lot from the senior forward this season. "That is from a kid that I really think could be an x-factor." Henrickson said. Sutherland led the blue team to a 19-17 victory with five points, five rebounds and one block. "You come out with more energy. You come out ready to play." Sutherland said. "People are there to watch you and you want to give them a show." Henrickson said the speed, athleticism and talent would be the main draws for fans. "We have players that are fun to watch." Henrickson said. Davis led the white team with a game-high seven points, shooting 3-of-4 from the free throw line and 2-of-5 from the field. Each player on the roster saw time on the court during the 12-minute scrimmage. Freshmen Donielle Breaux, a guard, and Chelsea Gardner, a forward, each turned in four points in their first appearances in Allen Fieldhouse. In the skit portion of the night, the players and coaches competed with different dances. Henrickson started the event lip-synching "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Kahn. The two assistant coaches followed with a video skit and the players performed a skit after. They combined forces to show off the team's signature move: the wobble. Henrickson said the team did "the wobble" through Italy on its international tour. She said it was a success because she did not fall over. The Jayhawks return seven players including four starters for the upcoming season. The team will host Fort Hays State on Oct. 31 in its first exhibition game.

Drink moderately and abstain from binge drinking. Nobody likes the hangovers that come with excessive drinking. Plus, fewer visits to bars means more money. Stretch, walk, run or bike skip the crowded bus and enjoy the fall weather. The bus will still be there this winter. Avoid all-nighters and take plenty of naps. A good night's sleep can do wonders. Drink lots of water. A great, albeit gross tip is to aim for pale pee. Always use protection. Take a break and destress from homework anxiety. Spend time with friends. Keep in touch with family and friends to avoid homesickness. —Edited by Emily Glover health BAND-AID TOUGH STRIPS AND-AID Ibuprofen Emergen-C IMMUNE DEFENSE Formula: 1,000 mg Vitamin C Enhanced Zinc Ruby Lemon Honey NTRU 45 AM 5:00 PM ited meal plan.

Adding a few pounds is normal when diet and exercise are thrown off-track. According to Nemours, a pediatric health organization, freshmen students gain between three and 10 pounds on average. Several factors contribute to this, says Ann Chapman, registered dietician and Watkins Memorial Health Center coordinator for nutritional services. Although cateraie food is difficult to avoid for freshmen, there are healthy options to replace sugary sweets or greasy, fried favorites. Natalie Garretson, a freshman from Topeka, said she swaps fattening options for healthier foods. "Eating healthy in the caf can be difficult," Garretson said. "I try and make healthier choices by avoiding the greasy, salty fried foods." Chapman said the dining hall can be especially dangerous if students wait until they are farnished to visit. "Going to the dining hall starving is like sending a kid into a candy store," said Chapman. Chapman suggests looking over any of the campus menus on the KU Dining website and taking advantage of NetNutrition, which is also available through KU Dining. This tool can filter allergies, keep track of eating habits and produce a personalized nutrition breakdown. Chapman suggests looking over the menu to create a balanced plan of fruit, vegetables, proteins and grains. It's also important to watch out for condiments and dressings, which can pack calories. According to Nemours, simply picking a lower-fat option such as reduced fat or oil-based salad dressings and low-fat yogurt can quickly lower daily calorie intake. Other ways to slash calories when eating at a dining hall is practicing portion control and resisting the urge to go back for additional servings or a trip to the always-senticicing ice cream machine. "Fruits and vegetables should be take up half the plate, which are low calorie and mainly consist of water and fiber," said Chapman. Taking advantage of the salad bar and made-to-order sandwiches are healthy alternatives if the hot plate pickings are slim. "I make a lot of salads and sandwiches so I know exactly what my meal consists of," Garretson said. Nemours studies also report it is helpful to fight the urge to have an empty calorie soda with meals. Instead, replace pops with healthier, lower-calorie options such as water or skim milk. Studies also show alcohol consumption is the leading contributor in gaining the freshman 15. "Too much partying, drinking and eating afterwards will put weight on in a hurry," said Chapman. After drinking away many hours of the night, it's hard to deny the accessibility of late night food and the convenience to have it delivered within minutes, especially for freshmen. "Pizza Shuttle is my biggest weakness," Garretson said. "Eating breakfast is vital to avoiding potential weight gain because it speeds up your metabolism," Chapman said. She suggested grabbing an apple and string cheese or spreading peanut butter on toast, which will satisfy hunger longer than cereal. Keeping healthy snacks in the dorm room make it easier to steer clear of fast food when school gets hectic. Calcium-rich foods like low-fat cheeses and 100-calorie popcorn are good snacks for studying and eating between meals. Breakfast is also important. Chapman said a lack of sleep and a lot of stress are both factors that are linked to overeating. "Sleep-deprived people have more of a propensity to gain weight," Chapman said. "Students need more than only six hours of sleep." Exercise is vital to not only leading a healthy lifestyle but to keeping off unwanted pounds. Working out can get lost in translation freshman year, but adding 30-45 minutes of exercise a day as if it was a class will make exercise part of the daily routine, said Chapman. Working out doesn't always mean a trip to the rec — any aerobic exercise such as brisk walk that gets the heart rate up will help keep weight off. Garrettson said, "I always walk to class, I never take the bus" The freshman 15 are not inevitable but even without weight gain, an unhealthy diet will not offer the support and nutrient balance that is necessary with the demands college presents. Skipping meals or trying the latest diet fad may seem like a quick fix in escaping the freshman 15, but these methods are dangerously unhealthy and do not keep weight off in the long run. Rather, start by making small variations in your diet that you can commit to implementing throughout your everyday routine. On top of that, Garretsson and her friends have devised a reward system for working out. "Every time we go to the rec, we put a gold star on our calendar," said Garretson. "When we get to 20 stars we reward ourselves with shopping or a manicure." Taking the initiative to make a habit of healthy eating and exercising regularly will help you keep off weight, all while becoming physically and mentally healthy and avoiding future health problems.

On top of that, many students have part-time jobs, extracurricular activities and hopefully a quick session at the gym. Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day and it obvious that those hours are quickly used up. "Some days this doesn't affect me, but some days I'm so exhausted I can't College students have the most unconventional sleeping habits of any age group. Between tests, papers and trying to have a social life, sleep often gets thrown out the window. I'm so exhausted I can't function." Timothy Leffert, a graduate student from Tonganoxie, works at the emergency department for Douglas County from 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. which causes his sleep schedule to be nontraditional. VERONICA MILLIKEN student before, but I don't think it has affected my grades," Leffert said. "I can do homework at my desk as long as I can still answer the calls and stay at my desk while I do it." "Generally Monday through Friday, I sleep from 1:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and again in the evenings," said Leffert. Still, Leffert manages to get the doctor-recommended eight hours a sleep a night. But, because he works at night, the way Leffert manages school is different than most students. "A lot of my teachers teach I slack off because I typically do my homework the night Veronica Milliken, a sophomore from Los Altos Hills, Calif., gets an average of five hours of sleep per night. "Some days this doesn't affect me at all, but some days I m so exhausted I can't function." Students often pull all-nighters to study for tests. However, according to the National Sleep Foundation, it is often more effective to simply rest than try to cram those extra facts. Rather, sleep reinforces learning while allowing the brain to clear away un-seded memories. "Usually the night be- Usually the might be fore a big test I'll try to stay up as late as I can and study, but sometimes I feel like I almost do worse on it because I'm so exhausted from trying to stay up," Milliken said. It is impractical to say that all students can receive eight hours of sleep every night. On days following sleep-deprived nights, research from the National Sleep Foundation shows that a 20 to 30 minute nap can help improve mood, alertness and performance. During calmer time, try going to bed and waking up at the same time everyday. MAMMA - Edited by Stefanie Penn KANSAN FILE PHOTO Pulling an all-nighter to cram for a test can end up doing more harm than good, according to research. Instead, the brain works best with more than seven hours of sleep per night. If that's not possible, try to fit in a 20-30 minute nap sometime during the day. Adjust workout routines to achieve fitness goals editor@kansan.com SIERRA PALLER As you're racing along on your treadmill, jamming out to the latest LMFAO song, you notice the super athlete next to you. He has the perfect body — the body you would kill for — and you figure as long as you do exactly what he or she does you'll end up looking just like the super athlete. Let's get real, take the guesswork out of exercising and put you in control of that freshman 15, sophomore 20 or whatever other excuse you've been making. Whether you want to bulk up or slim down, Jon Denning, a senior from Valley Center and manager for the cardiovascular and resistance training and personal training program, said it's important to figure out which workout is best for you. If you're looking to slim down, remember it's all about the calories you burn. The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you consume. You can only eat poorly for so long before you plateau and stop losing weight. "A lot of people just do cardio when they want to lose weight," Denning said. "It's also really important to lift weights. Lift weights three times a week, between eight to 10 reps of full-body exercise, like squats, presses and pulls." Denning said when lifting weights complements cardio routines for optimal weight loss. muscle mass you have, the easier it is to burn calories." "A lot of people just do cardio when they want to lose weight." As long as you push yourself and lift heavy "Try to go as heavy as you can and make sure you're tired at the end. You can do your cardio on top of that, but don't get into the habit of just doing cardio," Denning said. "The more JON DENNING Personal trainer weight and lift heavy weights, you can use whatever weight-lifting method. However, because free weights require the use of more coordination and body awareness, you'll achieve results faster. leave the gym. If you only do cardio, as Dennining put it, "Once you're done, you're done." If you're looking to bulk up, the formula is pretty much the same: It's still a good idea to do cardio to stay healthy, but you can knock down the intensity. Denning suggested lifting three to five times a week, spending more time on multi-joint, compound movements and minimal time on isolation exercise. With compound movements, you're working more muscles at a time, which provides a better overall workout. "A lot of times, we see guys in here that are trying to bulk up and they simply don't eat enough of a balanced diet," Denning said. "Just drinking those protein shakes won't provide the muscle mass gain you'd like to see." Simply put, working out plus a bad diet equals bad results. A great diet coupled with no exercise is no better. The ideal way to go, says Denning, is to adjust your diet and exercise for whatever goals you may have and formulate your own results without the guesswork.

This capped off a performance that included a block on junior forward Carolyn Davis and a rare three-point basket for Sutherland, a 6-foot-2 forward. "I came out here to have fun to have fun with my teammates and we all had fun," Sutherland said. "We got to show our talents so that people out here who don't come to our games can come to our games." Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she is expecting a lot from the senior forward this season. "That is from a kid that I really think could be an x-factor." Henrickson said. Sutherland led the blue team to a 19-17 victory with five points, five rebounds and one block. "You come out with more energy. You come out ready to play." Sutherland said. "People are there to watch you and you want to give them a show." Henrickson said the speed, athleticism and talent would be the main draws for fans. "We have players that are fun to watch." Henrickson said. Davis led the white team with a game-high seven points, shooting 3-of-4 from the free throw line and 2-of-5 from the field. Each player on the roster saw time on the court during the 12-minute scrimmage. Freshmen Donielle Breaux, a guard, and Chelsea Gardner, a forward, each turned in four points in their first appearances in Allen Fieldhouse. In the skit portion of the night, the players and coaches competed with different dances. Henrickson started the event lip-synching "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Kahn. The two assistant coaches followed with a video skit and the players performed a skit after. They combined forces to show off the team's signature move: the wobble. Henrickson said the team did "the wobble" through Italy on its international tour. She said it was a success because she did not fall over. The jayhawks return seven players including four starters for the upcoming season. The team will host Fort Hays State on Oct. 31 in its first exhibition game. - Edited by Josh Kantor PAGE 8 MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT LIFE Fitting it all in: health in college ALLISON HAMMOND editor@kansan.com On NBC's "The Biggest Loser," contestants push themselves to lose weight and be healthy. They take part in rigorous exercise routines with one goal in mind: to become the next biggest loser in terms of how much weight they lose. Television programs similar to this stress the importance of being healthy and keeping track of daily routines, and the personal trainers featured on the show suggest that the audience do the same. For one day, Mitchell Cota and Chelsea Zipse, a freshmen from Overland Park, kept a health diary documenting food intake, exercise, sleep and the amount of time spent walking. Cota and Zipse both said health is important to them, so they try to mentally keep in mind what they are doing to their bodies each day.

"I did soccer for a long time, and I was healthy up until my freshman year of high school," Cota said. "Then, there was a two-year period where I didn't exercise at all, and though I wasn't necessarily unhealthy, I was definitely not healthy, and I realized I couldn't run or do anything strenuous for a long period of time." During his senior year of high school, Cota decided to get his health back on track. getts health back on track. "I started eating a variety of food from all categories of the food pyramid, and I started running more often," Cota said. "Now, I'm healthy, and I go to the gym regularly." Zinc, said she Zipse said she was raised to be health-conscious, and she likes being fit and feeling good. She goes to various KU Fit classes multiple times a week, and she tries to limit her calorie intake each day. However, she said it is harder to manage what she eats now that she is in college. "In college, it's rather difficult especially at Mrs. E's because there's always ice cream," Zipse said. "I try to limit it down to one dessert a day. I also don't know what they're putting in their foods, like how much butter and how much salt. When I'm at home, I'm able to control my diet much better." For Zipse, health is such a priority that she schedules specific times to exercise, and this sometimes forces her to study around that. In addition, she said she does not always feel like she gets enough sleep, which has impacted her. "In high school, I was really able to watch better." Zipse said of her sleep habits. "I'm tired all the time, and I feel like I want to go to bed at, like, nine oclock every day, but I don't really end up going to bed at nine. I just feel really tired in the mornings, and it's difficult to stay awake sometimes." Despite this, Zipse said she thinks leading a healthy lifestyle is worth it, and Cota said he agrees. Cota schedules in running and gym time in a calendar on his computer, and he said while he is not always able to find time in his day to exercise, he does go out of his way to lead a healthy lifestyle. "I will sometimes disregard social time or events for the trade-off of running or going to the gym," Cota said. "I think it's definitely worth it; I mean, in college, you have social time 24/7, so missing out on it isn't that big of a deal, but sometimes, you're like 'Crap, I heard that exciting thing happened.' But the exciting thing that's happening for me is being healthy." a little case spread I slipped by bread I seasonal ice cream in my city.

This capped off a performance that included a block on junior forward Carolyn Davis and a rare three-point basket for Sutherland, a 6-foot-2 forward. "I came out here to have fun to have fun with my teammates and we all had fun," Sutherland said. "We got to show our talents so that people out here who don't come to our games can come to our games." Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she is expecting a lot from the senior forward this season. "That is from a kid that I really think could be an x-factor." Henrickson said. Sutherland led the blue team to a 19-17 victory with five points, five rebounds and one block. "You come out with more energy. You come out ready to play." Sutherland said. "People are there to watch you and you want to give them a show." Henrickson said the speed, athleticism and talent would be the main draws for fans. Davis led the white team with a game-high seven points, shooting 3-of-4 from the free throw line and 2-of-5 from the field. "We have players that are fun to watch." Henrickson said. Each player on the roster saw time on the court during the 12-minute scrimmage. Freshmen Donielle Breaux, a guard, and Chelsea Gardner, a forward, each turned in four points in their first appearances in Allen Fieldhouse. In the skit portion of the night, the players and coaches competed with different dances. Henrickson started the event lip-synching "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Kahn. The two assistant coaches followed with a video skit and the players performed a skit after. They combined forces to show off the team's signature move: the wobble. Henrickson said the team did "the wobble" through Italy on its international tour. She said it was a success because she did not fall over. The Jayhawks return seven players including four starters for the upcoming season. The team will host Fort Hays State on Oct. 31 in its first exhibition game.

The g was in hono Baby Jay's birthday. editor@kansan.com College is usually the time students enjoy freedom from their families and homes, but where does sex fit in when most students have roommates in the residence halls? Most halls have a 24-hour guest policy, which gives students the opportunity to have people stay over. Although the handbook encourages roommates to discuss guests before their visit, this is not always the case. Matt Canter, a freshman from Olathe now living in Lewis Hall, said that sex happens often in the dorms. Canter and his roommates do not have an agreement. "It's pretty much a free-for-all," Canter said. "We tell each other to use judgment, but it doesn't matter if your roommate is in the room." Within the last 12 months,with how many partners have you had oral sex, vaginal intercourse or anal intercourse? Although sex in the dorms may not be a problem for some, others have general rules. Reiko Igarashi, a senior from Fukui, Japan, says it's not OK for people to have sex in their room while their roommate is there. "We have partners over, but they don't stay over," Reiko said. "We just talk." That does not mean that sex doesn't happen. "I often hear others having sex," Reiko said. "You can hear the noises all night."

Director Residential Dining, sat down to talk about decisions students can make to increase nutrition and healthy options. 1. To what degree is nutrition considered when designing the menu? when designing the menus? KU dining is committed to providing a variety of options because we serve about 10-11 thousand meals a day which means we have a number of food preferences to satisfy. We offer a wide variety of student favorites — vegan, vegetarian and special diet needs. 2. How can students pursue healthy meal options? We have our net nutrition online program which can be found at Kilding.com and that's our computerized nutritional analysis tool. It brings up the location of the desired dining center, allows students to see daily menus, allows students to plug in portion sizes and offers them a daily nutritional readout. That tool is getting more and more used. 3. How can students follow standards set forth by the "food plate"? It's easy for students to craft their meals around the food plate - we are excited about that from a food service and nutritional standpoint. We've always done that in the way we portion our protein items. We have on average 3 ounces of protein. The meal portions have to be calculated properly. Fruits Grains Dairy Vegetables Protein U. S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH The "food plate" is a new model of nutrition created by the Dept. of Health to replace the food pyramid. 4. How can students avoid making unhealthy food choices? Don't totally eat with your eyes. The beauty of a food system like system it Mrs. E's is that you can see the menu before and then make your decision. Moderation is key - there might be chicken tenders, but make a more nutritional choice in addition to those tenders. Go for the fruit and not the rice crispies. 5. Is the University responsible for unhealthy choices students might make? We are responsible for providing the information, education, variety and the balance. And then they (students) make the choice. We don't typically vilify any or food a category. It's about education, portion control, moderation and exercise. —Edited by Emily Glover 1 Plan ahead: Go to the KI website to check updated menus and plan out the number of carts and different categories of food. P 2 Follow the food plate: Craft meals around the food plate. Try to make meals consist of fruits, grains, vegetables and protein with dairy. 4 S Limit your trips: It's tempting to make multiple trips to the buffer. Commit to one or two trips per visit. 3 Read the carbs: Check out the signs in the dining halls or go online to obtain information about carbs for each food item. S 3 5 Say no to ice cream: Just because ice cream is available doesn't mean it's necessary to indulge in. Set a limit on the number of days per week for an ice cream treat. 6 Look for dairy: Campus dining halls offer 2 percent, skim, chocolate or non-dairy milk in addition to other dairy products, such as yogurt.

The g was in honor Baby Jay's birthday. CHRIS BRONS KAN' Getting down with the downward dog LEISE REUTER editor@kansan.com Yoga can be a great way to improve strength, flexibility and overall health. It might seem intimidating at first with the number of poses, but it can be a simple way to stay in shape. All that is necessary to get started is a mat and a quiet space. The sun salutation is a popular series of movements that can be a great way to start a yoga routine. 1. Start off in the mountain pose (see chart at bottom for definitions). Stand at the far edge of your mat with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands resting at your sides. Try to stand so your spine is in alignment, but don't be stiff. Take a few deep breaths. 2. Inhale and stretch your arms straight up towards the ceiling. Keep your palms together. You can even arch backward a little bit if it is comfortable. 1. Begin the plank position with your hands on the floor, fingers spread wide. Bring your knees up to the level of your arms. 2. Keep your torso horizontal and your head down. 3. Keep your legs straight and parallel to the ground. 4. Repeat the plank sequence from top to bottom. This exercise helps improve core strength, balance, and stability. 3. Exhale and bend forward until your hands touch your feet. It's ok to bend your knees a little if the stretch is too much. 5. Exhale and step back into a plank position (it should feel as if you are about to do a pushup). Hold this position until you inhale again. 6. Exhale and do a pushup. However, instead of straightening your elbows back up to a plank position, inhale and stretch forward up into the upward facing dog pose. Arch your back while keeping your legs straight. Only the shins, feet and hands should be in contact with the ground. 4. Inhale and step the right foot back into a lunge. If this is comfortable for you, arch back and gaze toward the ceiling. 7. Exhale and stretch into the downward facing dog pose. You should feel a stretch in the back of your hamstrings. Try to distribute your weight evenly so you are not holding yourself up with your arms. 9. Exhale, bring the left foot forward to meet the right foot, and bend forward to touch your toes. 8. Inhale and step your right foot forward into a lunge. 10. Inhale and reach your arms up toward the ceiling, arching backward. 11. Exhale and return to the mountain pose. Sun salutations can be repeated multiple times in a row. Pay careful attention to breathing, and let each movement flow into the next. You can take the poses at whatever pace feels right to you.

With thousands of stressed out students living in close quarters, as soon as one gets sick, so does a handful of others. Although a simple cold probably won't leave most college students bedridden, it can still put a damper on the day. Instead of waiting until you get sick, try a few of these steps the next time it feels like the flu is coming on. 1. DRINK LOTS OF WATER It's easy to get dehydrated running between classes. It might seem like common sense, but make a point to drink more fluids than usual during busy school days. Also, avoid drinks containing caffeine or alcohol, as these actually have dehydrating effect and wear on the immune system. 2. TRY GARGLING SALTWATER It may not taste great, but gargling saltwater is one of the best ways to fix a sore throat. Dissolve a quarter teaspoon of salt in warm water and then gargle to help cleanse the throat and relieve irritation. 3. AVOID SUGAR AND CAFFEINE Sugar and caffeine are two staples of college dining halls. Both offer a sudden burst of energy, but result in a crash later. Caffeine can dehydrate, causing headaches and leaving the body more susceptible to illness. Consuming large amounts of refined sugar can also weaken the immune system. It may take a few sacrifices, but making the effort to eat healthy when sickness is coming on can make a world of difference. 4. GET LOTS OF SLEEP 5. EAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES Sleep is crucial in giving the immune system the strength to fight an illness. While college can get busy and sleep is often overlooked, try to get at least six hours of sleep each night. Even a short nap can give the body the energy it needs to stay well. When sick, it can be tempting to stock up on junk food instead of searching for healthier options. However, it is even more important to eat a solid amount of fruits and vegetables when a sickness. The vitamins found in many foods such as citrus fruits, spinach, cranberries and blueberries will provide great nutrients for fighting illness. 6. TAKE SOME SOME DOWN TIME Many people don't realize that stress and illness are closely linked. That means that during particularly busy weeks, months or semesters, it is natural to feel under the weather. Instead of letting the problem get out of control, set aside some time to destress, whether that means hanging out with friends or curling up with a favorite movie. It is surprising how much physical health improves when emotional health is taken care of. Edited by Stefanie Penn COLUMN No reason to fall into common health traps ByWiley Rummel editor@kansan.com What if those diet foods and snacks you ate weren't actually helping you lose weight? This disastrous predicament may be the case. The introduction of the 100-calorie snack pack might look like a godsend for those of us cursed with the uncontrollable urge to finish off that last row of Oreos, but looks can be deceiving. Although 100-calorie packs might seem like a good shift towards portion control, the reality is that its small size can lead you to think that they aren't bad for you. Soon you could be eating multiple packs in one sitting and wasting away another night in tears of butter and loneliness. If you really were serious about a diet, do you really think processed snacks like Twinkies, Oreos and Reese's should be involved? Instead of grabbing something so small and in-nutritious, try an apple or banana. Fruits and vegetables are dense with vitamins and minerals, which are essential to your body's overall health. Possibly the worst "health trap," would be the unforgiving diet soda. Everyone seems to be aware of soda's unhealthiness, but what makes diet soda different? Wait, I know: It has zero calories! Thank the Gods of Cola for this wonderful creation! It tastes so good, why would I ever want to drink anything else? Coke zero is real coke taste with zero calo ries! But, how is that even possible? From everything that seems to make sense in the world, there aren't any secret cheat codes to make things that much better or that much easier. Something must be up... Well something is up. One of the many ingredients that can be found in international varities of Coke Zero — most of which I can't pronounce — is sodium cyclamate. This is an artificial sweetener that has been deemed by the FDA as a carcinogen. Although sodium cyclamate is not used in the U.S., Coca Cola does distribute soda containing this dangerous chemical to countries around the world because of its cheap production cost. Local versions of Coke Zero are more likely to contain aspartame, another artificial sweetener that has been linked to brain cancer and even obesity. Many studies have found that artificial sweeteners such as aspartame can inhibit weight loss and even promote weight gain. That is most concerning for someone on a diet. Maybe there aren't short cuts for your diet. Maybe you have to do it the old fashion way: Eat fresh, natural ingredients (not some chemistry experiment) and exercise daily. That is the only tried and true way to not be trapped by your health.

The g was in honor Baby Jay's birthday. October is the time of year to embrace scary things such as ghosts, haunted houses and horror movies. So, if you're a woman, now's the time to tackle another supposedly scary processes: pap smears. Women's annual exams are a healthy part of getting older, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with for the first time. Fortunately, Carolyn DeSalvo, physician and director of the women's health clinic at Watkins Student Health Center has answers to the questions that many young women may have before their first exams. Q: What should women expect? a: The first thing the doctor will do is ask about personal health history, family history and any possible concerns or questions. Next comes the physical examination. The doctor will check the thyroid gland, do breast and abdominal exams and often a pelvic exam with a pap smear. DeSalvo encourages patients to ask questions during this process so they know what is going on. Q: Pelvic exam — what happens? A. Desalvo said that, during the pelvic exam, the doctor will manually feel the uterus and ovaries to check for cysts or abnormalities. Next, she will insert a speculum, about the size of a tampon, into the vagina. This will allow her to see the cervix. If a pap smear is needed — and it isn't always — a sample will be taken from the cervix with a swab and sent off to the lab. The entire pelvic exam, from start to finish, usually takes about a minute. Q: Does it hurt? **A:** To put it simply; no. "It's just awkward," DeSalvo said. First timers are usually nervous, but DeSalvo said if it's too intimidating, patients can always schedule another appointment to have the exam done at another time. Q: Who should get an annual exam? A. DeSalvo recommends that women begin their annual exams when they become sexually active, are taking birth control or by the time they're 21. Q. Why is it important? What are doctors looking for? A: These examinations screen for sexually transmitted illnesses, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and abnormalities in the breasts, thyroid, or abdomen. It is recommended that sexually active women be tested for chlamydia each year, as it is common and there are often no symptoms accompanying it. An annual physical is also a great resource of information on women's health or sex issues. "It's a safe place to come and ask questions — questions you may not want to ask your mother," DeSalvo said. DeSalvo also emphasized that meetings with doctors are confidential. Q. What sorts of resources are available at Watkins? A. Watkins has a women's health services department, where doctors and nurses are always willing to help and answer any questions. They can provide prescriptions for contraceptives, information on reproductive health, and vaccinations including the one against HPV, which is now recommended for both women and men. Full-time students' health fees pay for visits to Watkins. Additional fees are only needed for lab work, including the work done for pap smears.

This capped off a performance that included a block on junior forward Carolyn Davis and a rare three-point basket for Sutherland, a 6-foot-2 forward. "I came out here to have fun to have come with my teammates and we all had fun," Sutherland said. "We got to show our talents so that people out here who don't come to our games can come to our games." Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she is expecting a lot from the senior forward this season. "That is from a kid that I really think could be an x-factor." Henrickson said. Sutherland led the blue team to a 19-17 victory with five points, five rebounds and one block. "You come out with more energy. You come out ready to play." Sutherland said. "People are there to watch you and you want to give them a show." Henrickson said the speed, athleticism and talent would be the main draws for fans. "We have players that are fun to watch," Hentrickson said. Davis led the white team with a game-high seven points, shooting 3-of-4 from the free throw line and 2-of-5 from the field.

Of those vehicles, more than 200,000 were commercial vehicles, ranging from those with construction contracting permits to Jimmy John's delivery cars. Passenger permit holders, such as those with gold parking permits and maintenance permits, made up the other 170,000 cars. In the same year 1,612 vehicles "ran" the traffic booth, or entered the campus on a weekday from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. without the proper permit. — Information from Shima McCurdy, booth personnel supervisor.

Don't feel bad. It's easy to go past one of the four traffic booths on campus without thinking of the person working inside. But once you meet Shaw and hear some of her stories, she is difficult to forget. From students wearing nothing but boxes to students barreling through stop signs during finals week, she has "seen some pretty crazy stuff". It turns out that her traffic booth, located on 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard, is about the best people-watching spot on campus. However, Shaw doesn't have a lot of time to people-watch. She's too busy using directions to confused freshmen, counting passing cars and watching for people driving on campus illegally. Vehicles without gold, commercial or service permits are not allowed on campus from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. during weekdays. All vehicles must stop at the booth to show their permit. Those that don't stop and lack a permit are called "runners." "Oh, I can pretty much tell when someone is going to run me," she said. Once Shaw sees the vehicle isn't slowing down she memorizes the make, model and color of the car. After the car passes her, she quickly memorizes the vehicle's license plate. "I have to have the correct information," she said. "Otherwise I won't call it in." Those who are reported for running the booth receive a $55 fine. According to Shima McCurdy, supervisor of booth personel, runners are a common occurrence. For the month of September, 134 vehicles ran through the four check points. Booth D, located near the Chi Omega fountain, recorded the most runs with 4'. In 2010 there were 1,612 runs. McCurdv said. For all! the people that run, booth employees are able to flag others down and convince them to turn around. "I'll ask them what's their purpose," Shaw said. "It's always that they are in a hurry and they're running late. Then I let them know it's their choice. Most of the time they turn around." Shaw said that she occasionally deals with drivers that are rude and disrespectful to her, especially when students are stressed around finals time. "I hate to say it but they are," she said. "It's my job to turn them around. It's being positive." While some drivers — especially those who run the booths — may not agree with the regulations and fines, McCurdy said the University has a good reason for only limiting vehicles on campus during the weekdays. campus, people would be getting run over," she said.

At the beginning of the semester, KU Dining Services introduced two new meal plans, Rock Chalk Unlimited and Jayhawk Unlimited. These plans offer just that — unlimited meals. Karen Cross, the KU Dining access administrator, said that students get the best deal available when selecting the unlimited meal plans. The plans are also designed to provide convenience because students don't have to keep track of how many meals they have left. "The guest rate is $8.50 for breakfast and $9.50 for brunch, lunch or dinner" Cross said. "Depending on dinner" how often the student chooses to use their unlimited plan, they save an average of about 40 percent to 45 percent off the cash guest rates." Students with the unlimited plans are able to get meals as many times each day (between 7 a.m. and midnight) as they'd like and are given either $300 in Cuisine Cash with the Rock Chalk Unlimited or $500 in Cuisine Cash with the Jayhawk Unlimited. The Blue Basic and Crimson Flex plans allow for 10 or 12 meals a week and $100 or $200 in Cuisine Cash, respectively. Cross said about 3,400 students have a dining plan, and of these students 53 percent are on an unlimited meal plan. Even though these unlimited options may sound like a dream come true, some students feel that these plans are too extensive. Kendall Cole, a freshman from Houston, decided to switch her meal plan to the Basic Blue. "I downsized to that one because I realized how much I don't eat at the dining halls," Cole said. These new plans weren't created on a whim. "Before reconfiguring the dining plans, KU Dining took into consideration the feedback received from parents and students over the years, held student forums, and researched peer universities' dining planes across the nation," Cross said. "The unlimited plans support the busy lifestyles and study habits of the students."

Military service is obligatory in Chile, but there are usually enough volunteers to fill the ranks so that no one has to serve against their will. So far this year, 14,127 men and women born in 1993 have signed up, and armed forces deputy secretary Alfonso Vargas said they need a bigger pool to choose from to fill 11,340 spots. That's why 56,793 more teenagers will need to report in a month for potential duty in 2012, he explained on the draft office's website. PARIS The head of France's DCRI counterespionage agency was handed preliminary charges Monday in a probe into allegations of spying on journalists at the daily "Le Monde," his attorney said. Patrick Maisonneuve said the preliminary charges against Bernard Squarcini include "violating secret correspondence" and "unlawfully collecting data." Under French law, preliminary charges allow magistrates to continue investigating before determining whether to send the case to trial. KAMPALA. UGANDA The probe stems from a suit filed by "Le Monde" last year. The newspaper alleged the office of French President Nicolas Sarkozy asked the DCRI to identify a journalist's source and stop leaks in a scandal surrounding L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, Europe's wealthiest woman. Police in Uganda fired tear gas at protesters demonstrating against high food prices and corruption in the capital. Police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said police stopped Monday's demonstration after participants tried to block the roads and appealed to others to join them. Witness Henry Mukaga said some protesters threw stones at police and at motorists driving through the market where the protest erupted. Participants said they were responding to a call from an opposition group to resume "walk to work" protests over food prices and corruption. Those marches in March and April were among the most serious anti-government protests in sub-Saharan Africa this year. Human Rights Watch said police killed nine people during the marches. SANAA. YEMEN Fighting between troops loyal to Yemen's embattled leader and rival forces on Monday killed at least 18 people, including eight supporters of a powerful tribal chief who defected to the opposition in March. The pre-dawn fighting, the worst in the capital Sanaa in weeks, has revived fears of civil war in the strategically located nation on the southern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Mortars, rockets and heavy machine-guns were used in the hours-long battle in the northern sector of the city close to the international airport. A series of blasts shook the city for hours, forcing residents in many parts to take shelter in basements. The fighting continued throughout the night, briefly stopped for the dawn prayers and then resumed. It ceased by sunrise.

John Garfield REGIONAL Mother fears arrest in missing child case ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Law enforcement officials launched a new round of searches for a missing Kansas City baby on Monday after her mother went on national television and admitted she was drunk when the girl disappeared but insisted she did nothing to harm the child. In a tearful interview on NBC's "Today" show, Deborah Bradley said she believes she will be arrested in the disappearance of Lisa Irwin, who was 10 months old when she was reported missing in the early hours of Oct. 4. Security video from a grocery store shows Bradley buying a box of wine and other goods, and leaving the store with a man the family later said was her brother Bradley said she bought boxed wine and consumed "enough to be drunk" that night, but denied she did anything to hurt Lisa. "No, no ... I don't think alcohol changes a person enough to do something like that," she said. Bradley also told Fox News in an interview aired Monday that she got drunk and may have blacked out. She said she frequently drinks to intoxication but only after her children are safely in bed. She also said she takes anxiety medication and had taken a dose that day. Asked how she would respond to others who would criticize her heavy drinking while caring for her children. Bradley became defiant. "She was sleeping. You know, I don't see the problem in me having my grown up time," she said. "I take good care of my kids. I keep my house clean, do their laundry, I kiss their boo-boos. I fix them food. I'm involved in their school stuff. I mean, to me, there's nothing wrong doing what I want to do after dark." Not long after the interviews aired, local and federal authorities began fresh searches for the girl, including bringing tracking dogs into the family's home and draining a nearby creek.

Some people have to limit how often they go to eat, but I just go whenever, wherever, and as often as I please." Edited by Ben Chipman NATIONAL High school limits bathroom breaks EVERGREEN PARK, III. — Students at a suburban Chicago high school will have to hold it or risk staying after school. A policy at Evergreen Park High School allows students to leave class three times per semester to go to the restroom. After that, they have to make up any missed class time after school. Principal Bill Sanderson tells the SouthtownStar that the policy is designed to make sure that students don't miss valuable class time. He says it deters them from using restroom visits as an excuse to miss class. Each teacher gets to decide whether to enforce the policy in their classes. But some students argue that they don't have time to stop at the restroom otherwise because they only get five minutes between classes. Associated Press BOOTH FROM 11 for part of the excitement of the day, and 1 set to assist and helpoeok? While Shaw may love the department now, the job took a little getting used to. Bathroom breaks were at first a problem. "I used to drink a lot of water," Shaw said. Employees get a break in the morning, one at lunch and one in the afternoon. Any other time and someone must be called to temporarily sub in the booth. Despite lacking a bathroom, the booth Shaw works in resembles a small window office featuring a microwave, a mini fridge and air conditioning. For Shaw, the campus location is also a big perk. She works out at 6 a.m. in Robinson Center before beginning her shift at 7:45 a.m. At lunch she often attends speeches at the Kansas Union. She said her favorite part of the job is watching students mature. Shaw occasionally trains students to work in the booth and forms relationships with them. At the time of the interview she was training Jacob Vail, a freshman from Osawatomi. you see people — like jacob, here — I see them grow and develop,* "You see people — like Jacob, here Shaw said. "You see them mature and I feel like I have a part in their upbringing. By being an adult, I can encourage them." Shaw's own children and grandchildren reside in Kansas City. After both of her parents passed away in the last two years, Shaw considered moving back to Kansas City to be closer to her remaining family but stayed in Lawrence because she loves the town and her job. "I plan to work here another five or 10 years, or as long as my health holds out," she said. — Edited by Laura Nightengale REGION Arkansas student found murdered LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A college sophomore who was reported missing last week in central Arkansas was found dead in a pond south of Little Rock, police said Monday. Authorities ruled the death of 20-year-old Patricia Guardado a homicide after her body was discovered Sunday afternoon in a few feet of water south of Sweet Home, Ark. A cause of death was not immediately released. No suspects have been named. Police wouldn't comment Monday about whether Guardado had been assaulted, whether she might have known her assailant or how long she had been in the pond. "It's incredible that there isn't a single clue or suspect," he said in Spanish. The scant information released by released Monday shocked Guardado's uncle, Gerardo Garcia Ramirez So, while authorities offer rewards for information that leads to an arrest, he asked people — especially in the Hispanic communities of central Arkansas — to come forward with any details about what happened to his niece. A dive team on Monday searched the waters where her Guardado's body was found near a cemetery less than 10 miles south of Little Rock. Lt. Carl Minden, a spokesman for the Pulaski County sheriff's office, declined to comment on what evidence, if any, had been recovered. He said Guardado's family still can't believe that they have to bury such a wonderful young woman. Two men scoping out a place to go fishing spotted Guardado's body in a pond in rural Arkansas. Associated Press "Shevas always working and studying," he said. "Shewas a good daughter, a good sister, a good niece."

I'm going through issues like candy. he should get a girl friend... What I think... what my roommate thinks Sean Powers MUSIC Georgetown to offer class about hip-hop and Jay-Z MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Professor, author and radio host Michael Eric Dyson has long been an ardent proponent of hip-hop, and now he's teaching a course on one of the genre's biggest purveyors: Jay-Z. The course, "Sociology of Hip-Hop: Jay-Z," is a three-credit, twice-weekly lecture in session at Georgetown University, where Dyson has been a professor since 2007. "Id written a book on Nas, one rhetorical genius, and I wanted to focus on another," Dyson said. "I wanted my students to understand that when you're dealing with an artist like Jay-Z you're dealing with a genius — a crafter of words, an all-time literary great. (Jay) gives us such powerful poetic passion, I wanted my students to understand that." This isn't the first time Dyson has brought out the academia of a rapper. He previously offered a course on Tupac at the University of Pennsylvania and penned an acclaimed book on the slain emcee. Picking Jay-Z as his next focus was easy, he said. "He's a guy from the Marcy Projects that's now worth half a billion dollars, married to arguably the best entertainer out there behind Michael Jackson. I wanted to probe all of these dimensions of Jay-Z as one of the most gifted and talented musicians of our time." Dyson said. Students are required to read Jay's book "Decoded," Adam Bradley's "Book of Rhymes" and Zack O'Malley Greenburg's "Empire State of Mind." Dyson also has students examine his lyrics, and they watch "Fade to Black," his 2004 concert documentary. Dyson's course attracted 140 students, nearly four times the size of an average course at Georgetown, he said. He hopes to tackle Nas, Lauryn Hill and the Roots for future courses. TELEVISION Network TV shows having tough time MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE PHILADELPHIA — Whatever the networks are selling this fall, viewers aren't buying. Three weeks into the TV season, four new series have already shut down production or been canceled. Several others are on life support with little hope of recovery. "The networks are desperate right now. They have to stop the bleeding," said Marc Berman, editor in chief of Media Insights, the online industry tracker. "The trigger finger is getting faster by the year." ABC's "Revenge" dropped nearly 15 percent of its viewers over its first week; "Charlie's Angels" lost 19 percent; and NBC's "Playboy For the most part, the new shows got a healthy initial sampling. Viewers simply did not return for a second helping. And that is an indictment of the product. Club" plummeted more than 20 percent, from more than five million viewers to under four million. "It's been a lackluster year," Berman said. "The biggest hit is 'The X Factor', and you look at it and you think, I've seen this before." "I don't understand this reliance on retreads," said media consultant Shari Anne Brill. "Did we really need another 'Charlie's Angels'? There's a tired familiarity to many of the new series. "Then you have these throwback shows like 'The Playboy Club' (already canceled) and 'Pan Am' that are so derivative of 'Mad Men.' Why are you putting on a show that references girdles when all of us have moved on to Spanx2?" You might be surprised at how much thought goes into such a ragamuffin lineup. "After all the research and testing, and all the pilots, they look at before they make their final decisions, it's always amazing that there are a few shows that don't make it past October," said Brad Adgate, research director at Horizon Media. "When I look at these shows," Brill said, "I can only think about the pilots that didn't make it." The fate of a freshman show often rests on which network has picked it up. "A show like 'How to Be a Gentleman" on CBS, said Berman, "on another network its numbers would have been good enough. But not leading out of 'Big Bang Theory'. The loss was too big to take." "How to Be a Gentleman" drew nearly nine million viewers. But that meant that almost 40 percent of the audience from "The Big Bang Theory" did not stick around.

"CW is a disaster," Berman said of the network. "Every show should be axed. But you can't cancel everything." "Years ago when NBC was in the ratings diddrums, they were forced to hold on to shows like 'Hill Street Blues' and 'Cheers' even though they didn't come out of the gate fast," said Adgate.

Professors not an exception to University policy Plagiarism is a serious issue for students, not only at the University of Kansas, but at other post-secondary institutions across the country. A strict no-tolerance policy for academic misconduct is entrenched in every University student's class syllabus. Students face expulsion from class, and in some cases, expulsion from the University. In an Oct. 11 story, the Kansan reported that Mahesh Visvanathan and Gerald Lushington plagiarized parts of their academic publication despite warnings. This censure included a written warning and a statement to the public about WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO FREE FOR ALL? Email us your comments at freeforall@kansan.com or call us at (785) 864-0852. And don't worry, your comments will always stay anonymous. EDITORIAL unless both the respondent and the committee agree that it may be open to the public." Because a researching professor contributes knowledge for public and scholarly dissemination, the investigation of a plagiarizing professor needs to be accessible to the public. Because Kansas relies on the reputation of its research program to achieve public prestige along with being included in the prestigious Association of American Universities, this serious instance of plagiarizing needs to be handled with a transparent screen. the incident. WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER? Send your thoughts to vshanker@ kansan.com to let the Editorial Board know. The University defines plagiarism as the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results or words without giving appropriate credit. Censure is defined as a written reprimand for actions that constitute academic misconduct. Censure may include a written warning, but the policy doesn't include public reprimands of an incident involving plagiarism. This just doesn't make sense, and it begs the question: Have there been censures that have occurred without public knowledge? It's also a different scene than when students are caught plagiarizing. Why aren't staff members, especially those leading research groups, held to the same standards that students are held to — expulsion? When asked to comment on these questions, the Vice Provost's office responded with the same public statement. The two censured professors were contacted with these questions as well, but both declined to comment. It would seem that this issue is one best served if the actions of the university were explained publicly. But within the rules of how the university deals with academic misconduct issues, it's stated that, "... the investigation shall be closed to the public Billy McCroy for the Kansan Editorial Board LIFESTYLE Difficulty coming out Last Tuesday was National Coming Out day, where non-heterosexuals of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to embrace different sexual identities that coincide with attractions to different sexes. For some, coming out can be a wonderful experience, in which they can finally be themselves and feel loved for who they truly are by friends, family and partners. For most, coming out isn't so easy. Laying claim to a sexual identity other than heterosexual is difficult because our culture discriminates against and oppresses people who aren't straight. Parents will either accept you or reject you, or perhaps one will accept you and the other will resent you. They may try to change you, thinking you can change, or take you to a counselor who will try to convince you that your "feelings" are wrong, immoral, etc. By James Castle jcastle@kansan.com Your "friends" might abandon you. They might think you're suddenly attracted to them and feel uncomfortable around you. You may feel completely alone in the world and unloved. Then you'll make new friends, some good and some who may just want to use you because you're the new guy, and you'll have to adjust to an entirely new culture with its own clothing style, music, bars, language and way of thinking and relating to others. Many of these new friends will probably have shared similar experiences of isolation and abandonment, and, as a result, they may very well become the most important people in your life. At first, you'll be overwhelmed by all the opportunities for sex and relationships, because you never knew so many other people like you existed. You'll date several people, and you'll try to apply whatever knowledge you've acquired from your parents about relationships, only to learn that they don't work so well in gay or lesbian cultures, which have their own dating scripts. If you're one of those people disowned by family, then you might rely on your relationships for many different emotional needs, and the breakups will hurt much worse and leave you feeling even lonelier as a result. Then a special someone will come along, perhaps after three, or maybe even 10, years of dating and searching for the right partner. He'll make you laugh constantly and let you know you can trust him. You'll spend all your time together and share your past experiences with family and friends and ex-lovers and, over time, grow intimate as you make yourselves vulnerable to one another with these stories. As a couple, you'll build a close network of friends, and these people will be like family to both of you, always there, through the hard times and good. Your old friends may come back into your life or you may never speak to them again or only speak to them on occasion. It's not easy to "become" gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, but the journey is an exciting one. After overcoming these common experiences, you'll grow into a strong and happy person, loved by so many. Over time, your parents will come around, and, before you know it, they are welcoming you and your partner into the family as a couple, treating you the way you always wanted to be treated, the way you deserve to be treated.

The rankings were released with Kansas at No. 1 after updates from the Brotherly Love Cup in Philadelphia and the Canadian season's kick off in Ontario. The team became an official member team of the IQA when it competed in the Midwest Cup in Fishers, Ind., Oct 9-10. The team left Indiana with its first championship trophy after going 6-0 in a field of 18 teams. It played top teams Ball State University (110-90), Michigan State University (100-70) and the University of Pittsburgh (100-70). After Kansas won the championship, IQA commissioner Alex Benepe said he expected the team to be ranked in the top 15 in the world. "We were expecting top five," captain Doug Whiston said. "We did a little better than that." The jump from relative obscurity to No. 1 is uncommon even in the world of quidditch. Kansas now stands above Middlebury College, at which the first quidditch team was founded, as well as Arizona State University, Louisiana State University and Illinois State. Four of Kansas' six games from the Midwest Cup have been recorded so far. The rest are expected to go up on Oct. 24. Whiston said he expects the team may drop down into the top five teams by next week. Theteam will travel to New York to compete in the IQA's World Cup on Nov. 12-13. It will be their first World Cup appearance. - Edited by Joel Petterson The Bottleneck 737 New Rampshire St • Lawrence Ks Wednesday, October 26th Orgone w / Labriphontic Saturday, October 29th Ultimate Fakebook w / Podstar / Bouchdown Sunday, October 30th Mike Doughty & His Band Fantastic w Moon Hooch Tuesday, November 1st Reckless Kelly w/ Sara Pierce Tuesday, November 8th Tribal Seeds w/ 77 Jefferson Wednesday, November 9th The Devil Makes Three w/Brown Bird Monday, November 14th Har Mar Superstar w Swanson / Loan Benet Saturday, November 12th Toubab Krewe w/ Enforquestr Friday, November 18th White Ghost Shivers - CD Release Party! w Kansas City Bear Fighters / Olssa Wednesday, November 30th Stephan Kellogg & the Sixers ja McLoughlin / Graham Colton Thursday, December 8th Bleu Edmondson Saturday, December 31st Spit It Up, Bayfield Saturday, December 31st Split Lip Rayfield www.thebottlenecklive.com f Find Pipeline Productions on Facebook for concert announcements, giveaways, and more!

A: 17 TRIVIA OF THE DAY esdn.com MORNING BREW Chicago Cubs: most lovable losers Fans of the Chicago Cubs often complain about the futility that their ballclub has had during the past 103 years. Little do they realize that it is in their team's best interest to stay as far away from the World Series as possible. Right now, the Cubs stay relevant because of their enormous championship drought. If you look past the month or so immediately following the Bartman incident, the Cubs' drought always took a backseat to the Red Sox's misfortunes, despite the Cubs' drought being 10 years older. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com twitter.com/epadway The Second City had the second best curse. Before the Red Sox won in 2004, everyone complained about the curse of the Bambino. Honestly, the story of a franchise being cursed because it sold the most famous hitter of all time to its rivals is a lot more glamorous than a tavern owner cursing the team because he wasn't allowed to bring his goat into a game in 1945. And let's be honest, what fan base, outside of those living in Manhattan, Kan., would even want to bring a goat to a sporting event in the first place? Now the Red Sox have captured two titles in the past decade and have left the Cubs alone at the top of the list of the nation's most lovable losers. The Cubs fans should embrace it. Since winning, the tides have turned on the Sox. All the other fan bases that once had a soft spot for them when the playoffs roll around have seen that spot dry up. Ask a Royals fan, or any small-market fan, what his opinion is of the Red Sox and you'll find it's pretty similar to that of the Yankees and teams that spend money, generate too much media attention and who have an intolerable fan base. If Chicago ended that drought, it would be tossed into the same light. Cubs fans, do you really want that? Do you really want to lose the nation's sympathy? Sox, did after winning the 2005 Series. As someone who has a very unfavorable view of the Cubs, I probably should want them to win one too. That way, I wouldn't have to keep hearing about their plights. Maybe, after acquiring former Red Sox's curse-breaking architect Theo Epstein you will win a championship. because its better for you to remain the lovable losers, but also because the only thing worse than seeing a Chicago Cubs victory parade would be having my kids grow up and hear from all the Boston fans about the curse of Epstein or whatever it is they'll name it.

When, arguably, a team's best Big 12 performance comes in a 30-point loss at home, optimism will undoubtedly be in short supply. Last weekend, the favored Sooners rolled into the game unmotivated and disinterested in playing a team that gave up 70 points to the Cowboys just a week earlier. It seemed as if quarterback Landry Jones and the Sooners were solely set on getting wide receiver Ryan Broyles his reception record and cruising to an easy victory. The schedule isn't doing Kansas any favors. For the seventh game in a row, the Jayhawks and their 120th-ranked defense will face an undefeated opponent. This time, No. 11 Kansas State comes to Lawrence for a game that could give Kansas more trouble than Oklahoma did. COMMENTARY Edited by Ben Chipman If there is one game on the Kansas schedule that the team needs to win, this is it. Another loss like last year's 59-7 debacle, and Gill's $6 million buyout becomes a more reasonable investment for this football program. It took a couple of improvised big plays by Kansas to wake up Oklahoma, and when the second half started. Oklahoma absolutely shut down any threat of a Jayhawk miracle. K-State game a must-win For Gill and his staff, this is easier said than done, as the jayhawks have failed to play effectively for an entire game thus far in conference play. Kansas needs to build off the promise it showed against Oklahoma to even have a praver at upsetting Kansas State. By Andrew Joseph ajoseph@kansan.com Kansas State can be a whole different monster Saturday morning as coach Bill Snyder has emphasized the annual matchup with Kansas since he took over in Manhattan. Snyder holds a 15-4 record against Kansas, that including an 11-game winning streak. At least on the offensive side of the ball, the contingent of running backs and Jordan Webb at quarterback actually put up better numbers than the Kansas State attack. The challenge Gill faces is outcoaching the man who has taken the team picked to finish eighth in conference all the way to the cusp of the BCS's top 10. If the Jayhawks intend on competing with their in-state rival, the defense will have to play even better than it did against the Sooners. Oklahoma did not come storming out of the gates by any means, but K-State certainly could. Kansas' chances at getting a much-needed conference victory rests in the hands of coach Turner Gill and defensive coordinator Vic Shealv. FRESH FACE 9 THARPE ON POINT KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Coach Bill Self and solid point-guard play go together almost as well as Self and conference championships. Whether it was Dee Brown and Deron Williams at Illinois or Sherronn Collins and Tyshawn Taylor at Kansas, Self has proven he can work with this position. When Brewster Academy point guard Naadir Tharpe ultimately decided to play for Self at Kansas, he had plenty of fellow point guards to look at as potential role models down the line. at any other college players that I want to take my game after. Did he, though? "No," Tharpe said. "Besides my brother, defensively, that was about it. I've never looked By the looks of his 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame, he more close-laylesemble Brown than forward Jamari Traylor and freshman guard Ben McLemore for this season. Self's possible rotation shrunk by two, meaning more potential minutes for Tharpe on the perimeter. It's something Taylor thinks he can handle already, calling Tharpe a "true point guard," someone who can get into the lane consistently and find the open man. It's also something Tharpe is looking forward to. "That's what I was expecting to do when I came here, is to help out the team," he said. "Because there's nothing more important to me than winning." He experienced a whole lot of winning at Brewster Academy and the expectations at Williams, Collins or Taylor. The four-star recruit guided Brewster to a 31-3 record and a spot in the semifinals of the National Prep Championships last season. "He's able to pretty much get wherever he wants on the court, because he's a crafty player and he's smart." With the announcement of the ineligibility of freshman "He's able to pretty much get wherever he wants on the court, because he's a crafty player and he's smart," Taylor said. "I think Naadir is going to help us a lot." Now it looks like he's tasked with backing up Taylor, who had nothing but praise for the newcomer. TYSHAWN TAYLOR Senior guard Kansas Kansas are no different It's Big 12 champion or bust for Kansas fans — regardless of Bill Self picking KC Baylor to win the league or telling fans to "enjoy the process" this season, which he said wasn't just "coach speak" but actual advice. If Tharpe can be a spark off the bench, continuing his winning ways and creating easy shots for teammates like Taylor thinks he can, that eighth straight conference championship becomes a much more distinct possibility. Who knows; maybe Tharpe falls in line with the rest of the great point guards to suit up for Self. Edited by Laura Nightengale MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe warms up before scrimmaging during Late Night in the Phog on Friday. Senior guard Tyshawrt Taylor described Tharpe as a "true point guard." He could contribute immediately this season. FOOTBALL Throw out the records in showdown At first glance, it's a situation that's all too familiar for Kansas fans. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com No. 12 Kansas State, picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 in the preseason, sits undefeated, riding the coattails of a wild and unexpected first half to its season. With the Wildcats looming on the Jayhawks' schedule, coach Turner Gill has a second straight opportunity to save face after his team played competitively against the No. 3 Sooners on Saturday. Gill, who is fairly new to the in-state rivalry, has already seen the game's implications. "We all know what this is all about: The big showdown here in state, so it is something that is very, very meaningful to everyone involved here at the University of Kansas, including our players," Gill said. "We excited to play this football game." The Wildcats have come out unscathed from an early season schedule that is anything but easy. Victories at Miami and Texas Tech, along with home victories against Missouri and Baylor, give Kansas State's success credence beyond its No. 12 ranking. The top half of Kansas State's season rings similar bells to the jayhawks' magical 2007-2008 run in in which Kansas went 12-1 and won the Orange Bowl. But the way Kansas State has conducted its unforeseen run and what's ahead in their K-STATE'S OPPONENTS Eastern Kentucky Kent State Miami Baylor Missouri Texas Tech Kansas Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas A&M Texas Iowa State season makes it a very different situation. Aside from its second game of the season against Kent State, K-State has won all of its games by seven points or fewer. Kansas won its first six games by an average margin of 41.6 points that season. The Wildcats' upcoming schedule also casts a far more daunting shadow than the Jay-hawks' schedule ever did during their year at the top. Kansas State will take on four consecutive ranked teams after the Kansas game, including Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Texas. When it comes to this Saturday, everything that Kansas State has done before goes out the window. With an in-state rivalry that rages on — with the two schools separated by 84 miles — records, rankings and talent are often thrown out, leaving two teams to battle it out on the field. Early in the 2007-2008 season, the Jayhawks matched up against the No. 24 Wildcats in Manhattan. The Jayhawks came out on top with a 30-24 win against the Wildcats, helping launch Kansas to its most prolific season in school history. The Jayhawks will once again come into Saturday's game expected to lose, but at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Kansas' underdog status will not matter. While a victory against Kansas State won't launch Kansas to the Orange Bowl, it could easily halt the downward direction the program has been spiraling in for the previous two seasons.

Researchers seek prevention for HIV CLAIRE MCINERNY cmcinerny@kansan.com HIV prevention has a new advocate at the University. Sarah Kieweg, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, received a $1.3 million grant from the National Institute of Health to continue developing a preventative gel for the virus. "This microbicidal gel needs to protect all the vaginal surfaces. It needs to be spreading where it needs to go and keeping the drug where it needs to be, so the basics of the research involve examining the fluid mechanics of how that gel will spread around". Kieweg said in an Oct. 7 news release. The team of researchers, which also includes Carl Weiner, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at KU Medical Center and Kyle Camarda, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, are developing an instrument that predicts how the gel moves, to make sure the gel is as effective as possible against HIV and other STDs. Weiner is testing the instrument and used it in normal exams with a few dozen women so far. He said Keiweg and her team are at the halfway point with developing this tool. The goal for the team's instrument is to perfect the gel's physical and chemical barrier for women against HIV and other STDs. If completed, the instrument will help create other drugs for women's sexual health. Camarda's group focuses on the design of polymeric liquids for the gel. He and his team are focused more on the structure of the product, avoiding extensive experiments that will not be effective. "It's like designing a better hammer," Weiner said. "For building better houses and better furniture." The school of engineering and its researchers are not only excited about the opportunity to advance health care for their own research, but for the bigger picture as well. "I think a focus on women's health, and particularly women's health in poorer nations, is an excellent idea for an academic project," Camarda said. "We ANTI-VIRUS GEL FACT BOX WHAT IT IS: A gel that is targeted mainly toward women to help prevent the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections WHO DEVELOPED IT: Researchers at KU Medical Center.

Hope would come in the form of an extraordinary plan of action involving student musicians: one that would fundamentally unite two cities on opposite ends of the earth. Since 1951, Eutin, a Lawrence sister city of some 17,000 people located in northern Germany, has held an annual summer music festival, attracting between 30,000 and 40,000 visitors from across Europe during the months of July and August. The festival has come to symbolize a strong, collective identity for the citizens of Eutin, while also bringing in a yearly economic stimulus that local business owners could depend on. Despite the festival's vital role in the community, a lack of financial oversight was threatening to close the doors of the festival for CONTROBLED BY JANIS FORELKS The entire University Symphony Orchestra and a cast of opera singers from the School of Music traveled nearly 5,000 miles to sister city in Eutin, Germany to help save and revive a bankrupt music festival in July. good, bringing about a plea for assistance that the University would answer with the entire University Symphony Orchestra and a cast of opera singers - altogether some 70 students. In the fall of 2010, after learning of the festival organizers' file for bankruptcy, a group of local merchants known as the Eutin Trade Association began considering ways to save and revitalize the ebbing event. In December, Hans Wilhelm Hagen, treasurer of the Eutin Trade Association, contacted David Neely, KU director of orchestral activities, and proposed the idea of bringing over student musicians from the University to comprise the festival. David Neely and Robert Walzel, dean of the KU School of Music, led a team of five students to Germany to perform a teaser concert in January. The show sold out and local newspapers caught on to the story. The city and state then approved funding for the summer music festival. CONTRIBUTED BY JÄNIS PORIETIS An annual music festival located in Northern Germany had been threatened with cancellation until the University Symphony Orchestra stepped in to help. Along with a cast of opera singers, the groups gave their time to perform with the community. The Show Must Go On Upon their arrival in Eutin, the orchestra immediately started rehearsals for their first performance. Expectations for the festival were high. Being accustomed to professional musicians, there was much speculation in the community as to just how well a student orchestra would perform. "One great thing about it for the students was they really got a sense CAMPUS SEE SYMPHONY PAGE 3 University receives "red light" BOBBY BURCH bburch@kansan.com The University received the lowest possible ranking for a U.S. academic institution for expressive rights on campus, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, also known as "FIRE" FIRE issued the University a "red-light" rating in 2011 for two policies in its "Housing Handbook" that the group considers to restrict freedom of speech. "Without free speech and the full exchange of ideas on a college campus, students are only going to get part of the picture" said Azhar Majeed, FIRE's associate director of legal and public advocacy. "One's education at the college level consists of more than just classes and exams. It includes the conversations that you have with your fellow students, with your professors and other people in the college community." FIRE ranks colleges and universities on a rating system comprised of three colored traffic lights; green, yellow and red. Of the 390 academic institutions FIRE evaluated in 2011, 67 percent received a red-light ranking. Red-light institutions have "at least one policy that both clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech," according to FIRE's website. A yellow-light ranking means that the institution has some policies that ban or regulate protected speech. FIRE assigns a green-light rating to a college or university if it's unable to find a policy that obstructs free speech rights. FIRE The University of Kansas is among 261 academic institutions in the U.S. that received a "red-light" rating in FIRE's report entitled "Spotlight on Speech Codes 2011: The State of Free Speech on Our Nation's Campuses" FIRE is a nonprofit educational foundation that unites civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals.

ARGENTINA Colombian model Angie Sanclemente is declaring her innocence as her cocaine-smuggling trial begins in Argentina. Also charged are her Argentine boyfriend, a Venezuelan and four other Argentines accused of recruiting beautiful young women to smuggle drugs to Cancun for $5,000 a trip. The former Colombian Coffee Queen said she came to Argentina to get married, not to commit crimes. But she also said that she knew her boyfriend was involved in "something criminal" and couldn't leave him. The probe began when one of the suspects allegedly tried to fly to Mexico with 55 kilos of cocaine. LONDON Sanchemente was a fugitive in Argentina for months before her arrest. If convicted in the trial that began Tuesday, she faces up to 16 years in prison. Britain's departed defense minister Liam Fox breached rules by allowing a personal friend access to meetings and overseas visits — including discussions with a U.S. military commander and senior Israeli officials, a report by the country's top civil servant ruled Tuesday. Fox stepped down as defense secretary on Friday amid intense scrutiny over the role of Adam Werritty, who had posed as an aide, arranged private meetings and ioined at least 18 trips overseas. The former defense lobbyist, who was the best man at Fox's wedding in 2005, had no official government role but appeared frequently at the minister's side across the globe. In a report on an official inquiry, Cabinet Secretary Gus O'Donnell criticized Fox for allowing Werrity access to talks, sharing sensitive details of his travel schedule and failing to disclose links between his friend and political donors. PORT-AU-PRINCE. HAITI A trial has started for police officers accused of killing at least 11 inmates in a prison in southwestern Haiti following last year's deadly earthquake. Judge Valvale Ezequiel says the trial of 13 officers will include testimony from dozens of witnesses in the coastal town of Les Caves. The officers face charges that include murder and attempted murder for firing on prisoners during a riot in the overcrowded prison a week after the devastating January 2010 earthquake. Prisoners said they were afraid the prison walls would crumble during the afterschocks. The officers allegedly stormed the prison to prevent a mass escape like the one that occurred in the country's main penitentiary in the capital. The trial started Tuesday. Yemeni government forces opened fire Tuesday on protesters in Sanaa, killing 12 and injuring more than 70, a medical official said, a day after the capital witnessed its worst fighting in weeks. SANAA.YEMEN Hommad al-Qubati, the director of a field hospital at the main protest site in Sanaa dubbed "Change Square," said more than 70 protesters were injured in the protests demanding the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Tens of thousands of protesters marched through Sanaa, led by shirtless young men with the words "Leave ... you butcher" scrawled across their chests, referring to Saleh. Soldiers from the Republican Guard, a loyalist unit led by Saleh's son Ahmed, arrested four female protesters who were ahead of the main demonstration, said activist Habib al-Uraiqi. Abdel-Rahman Berman of Yemen's National Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms (HOOD) said Saleh's forces used live ammunition and harsh tear gas. CAMPUS Actor pushes film during SUA event Actor Andy Dick entertained students in a small, but spirited SUA event Monday night. SUA hosted a screening of Dick's new film, "Division III: Football's Fineset" at Woodruff Auditorium followed by a Q&A with Dick and director Marshall Cook. Dakota Strange, SUA spirit coordinator, said about 80 people attended the event. Strange said SUA had faced challenges in advertising the event but that Dick was able to interact with the smaller audience in a one-on-one way. "Division III: Football's Finest" is about the misadventures of a Division III football team pursuing excellence. Dick has starred in the NBC show "NewsRadio" and the ABC show "Less Than Perfect." He also been arrested previously and pleaded guilty to marijuana use and sexual battery of a 17-year-old, among other offenses. Strange said Dick answered humorous questions, but also gave serious advice about going into the film business, telling students to be persistent. In an interview with The Kansan, Dick said he thought the University was beautiful and that he had enjoyed his time on campus, even though turnout wasn't what had been expected. Dick PETER MELVILLE Earlier in the day, Dick had been spotted around the city. "Anyone see Andy Dick driving around #ku screaming out the window?" SUA tweeted. The actor also made a stop at the Merc. Dick like his food raw, a fact he spoke about at length during his interview. He said that he had been looking for pistachios, but was unsuccessful until he reached the check-out counter. Jonathan Shorman "F—ing raw pistachios were there the whole time," Dick said.

PAGE 2 of what a professional routine is at a music festival," said Neely, who accompanied the orchestra to Germany and directed many of their shows. "The orchestra was rehearsing at a professional pace, playing at a professional pace, expected to play on a professional level. The singers as well, the cast members also were working like that, and it was terrific. They grew immensely, as I knew they would. Something like this is a life-changing experience for a musician." The orchestra played its first show in a large barn that had been converted into an elegant concert WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2011 hall. The students received an immensely favorable response from the audience. Local papers began to spread the notoriety of the University orchestra through northern Germany. With news KU ORCHESTRA PERFORMS FOR SISTER CITY of the success of its first concert expanding, the University orchestra would then play its next shows at the primary opera venue in Eutin, an open-air stage located by a pristine lake in the northern section of town. Go to www. kansan. com to see highlights. anything like that anywhere before." Singing in the Rain Without any roof to speak of, the stage and audience seating for the outdoor theatre were highly susceptible to adverse weather conditions. Unfortunately, Eutin experienced one of the rainiest summers in recent history while the University musicians were there. "We actually had our premiere canceled because of the rain," said Etta Fung, a doctoral student from Hong Kong who played Gretel in the fairy tale opera 'Hansel and Greetel." "It was really disappointing. F "It's a place on the edge of the world," said Iánis Porietis, a graduate student and trumpet player from Latvia. "The audience was basically sitting almost on water, because that's where the land ends and there is a lake right behind them. It was really kind of magical. I'd never seen an opera, the premiere is the most important show of the whole string of performances. Even when we did our second show it was still raining, so we were singing in the rain, like literally! And we're jumping everywhere on stage trying not to fall. We were covered @ in rain and dirt and food by the end of the opera. It was great!" German Hospitality During the course of their period in Germany, the University orchestra members stayed in two hostels on the outskirts of town, while the opera cast and faculty members lived with host families. "The Germans really embraced the students like you wouldn't believe," Neely said. "They were an integral part of the community and people embraced them and invited Campus prepares for cold temperatures Students can expect some chilly mornings for the next few days, as the National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for Wednesday and Thursday mornings. WEATHER Not only will students need to prepare themselves for the weather, but also their plants. The first frost is dangerous for plants outside, so if students have potted plants, they should bring them inside until warm weather returns. them to events. For example, the entire cast of 'Hansel and Gretel' was brought out to a country house for an outdoor barbeque." Eutin's openness to the students helped dampen some of the anxieties many of them faced at the thought of playing for a foreign audience. Liz Tolbert, an employee at Water's Edge gardens, said that with ponds, it's especially important to make sure the water in the pond doesn't get a chance to freeze over. The Chi Omega fountain will also be affected by the recent weather changes. Representatives from Facility Operations said they don't know when the fountain will have to be shut off, but they said it will be soon. They've already discussed plans for turning off the fountain for the season. "Leave an open space in the pond so the exchange of gases can occur for the fish. In other words, the ammonia from their waste needs to be able to evaporate," Tolbert said. "During the summer season, it just evaporates naturally because there's nothing holding it in." She also said people should begin preparing for the cold weather as soon as possible. Breanna McCarthy "I was really excited about it and I was just kind of worried what would happen after we started singing." Fung said. "But the community in Eutin was just so amazing. We started off with a couple smaller concerts. We sang at the market place, and people would just stand there for like two or three hours just listening to everything, and they were always really attentive. 'They were so nice to us.'" Before Kansas students can enter what ESPN called the "loudest college basketball arena in the country," they must first pick up their student tickets. In the past, this has meant long lines at Allen Fieldhouse, but that's no longer the case. Now students can simply redeem their tickets online at KUAthletics.com. CAMPUS If students want to pick up their tickets online, all they have to do is go to the University ticket office website, register or log in with their Kansas username and password, select which tickets they'd like to pick up and finish the checkout process. "And we were in the newspapers every day," added Annalize Sussman, a graduate student from Santa Fe, N.M., who played Hansel. Student tickets now redeemable online Press and Promising Future The music festival in Eutin this summer has been deemed a triumph, and the overwhelmingly positive reaction for the University students' contribution has already sparked dialogue for what role they will play in the immediate future of the German event. The online redemption process places tickets on the student's ID for no cost. All tickets for each pick up period can be added at the same time. Students must also remember to bring their KUID, which acts as their ticket into the games. Students must pick up their tickets, online or in person, by 5 p.m. Wednesday before tickets for this period go offline. Success and a Promising Future Nick Rickert, a senior from Olathe, said he thinks the new process will make things much easier. "The partnership between Lawrence and Eutin gained a new dimension," said Hagen in a recent email. "Seventy Americans brought international flair and sympathy to our festival city. They brought a new, young and fresh air to Eutin. For 2012, our new music director, Professor Urs Theuss, will put together a new orchestra comprised of KU students working side-by-side with German music students. The young students from America made it possible for us to have an opera festival at all. Financially, despite the bad weather conditions, it was a successful season; the festival broke even. That means the show goes on." —Julianna Tidwell "Usually the lines down at the fieldhouse are a little bit outrageous, so I think it'll be just a little better to do it online," Rickert said. Edited by Stefanie Penn Majeed said FIRE's second problem with the policies is that they explicitly prohibit speech that is protected by the First Amendment. "You can see that in both of these policies what the University defines to be sexual harassment falls short of that Supreme Court standard." Maleed said. SPEECH FROM PAGE 1 or benefits." "What the rea is does it limit speech rights atly?" Jill Jess, director of news and media for the University, said in an email that the University's harassment and sexual assault policies do not infringe on students' right to free speech. "Students have the right to free expression," she wrote. "However, they do not have the right to threaten or harass others. These policies are designed to protect housing residents and make it clear that such unwelcome and threatening behavior is not tolerated." In FIRE's 2011 report the group evaluated 390 schools across the U.S. and concluded 67 percent had policies that significantly restricted freedom of speech, thus earning a "red-light" rating. 107 academic institutions, or 27 percent, earned a yellow-light ranking. FIRED issued green-light ratings to 12 colleges and universities nationwide in 2011 and 10 schools did not receive ratings. However, there are some critics of FIRE's objectivity, including Jon B. Gould, an associate professor at George Mason University and author of "Speak No Evil: The Triumph of Hate Speech Regulation." Chronicle Review that claimed FIRE's political bias motivates its evaluations and reporting on U.S. academia. Gould wrote an article in The "FIRE largely fails to explain how it reaches its overly broad conclusions," he wrote. "Not only are most college speech policies constitutional, but also many of the anti-discrimination policies that FIRE targets actually protect higher-education institutions — and by extension academic freedom and opportunity."

Mark Johnson, a First Amendment attorney and lecturer in the School of Journalism, said the language "I never had any issues personally," Fink said. "But if I was to run into any type of issue I feel like those policies are definitely very vague, broad and also could be unfair based on the situation."

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: K equals H Ceglia's lawsuit claims he's entitled to half of Facebook, estimated to be worth $50 billion or more, because of a 2003 deal he made with the social networking website's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, when Ceglia enlisted him to help on a street-mapping database he was creating. Zuckerberg was a Harvard University freshman at the time. Today's Cryptoquip Clue: K equals H ASSOCIATED PRESS The judge on Tuesday gave Facebook until Thursday to respond. Ceglia is in the final stages of obtaining new counsel, Lake's filing said. Neither Lake nor Facebook responded to The Associated Press' requests for comment Tuesday. Lake's filing didn't give a reason for leaving less than four months after joining the case. Before him, lawyers from three other firms left Ceglias' legal team without saying why. Horns attorney Paul Argentieri remains lead counsel The latest lawyer to represent a man suing for part ownership of Facebook wants off the case. San Diego attorney Jeffrey Lake this week asked a federal judge in Buffalo to halt Paul Ceglia's court proceedings for three weeks to give a new lawyer time to get up to speed following his withdrawal. LEGAL Lawyer quits team in Facebook case Lake, in his response, said Ceglia instructed him not to comply with an order to turn over email passwords without first bringing his objections to a district court judge, who rejected them. Lake said Ceglia eventually provided the passwords. In recent weeks, Facebook attorneys have argued for fees and sanctions against Ceglia, claiming he has failed to comply with a magistrate judge's orders to turn over email passwords and other material relevant to the case. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Facebook says Ceglia's claim is baseless. Ceglia, of Wellsville, in the state's southern tier, has been staying in Ireland and has not appeared at court hearings in the case. Facebook attorneys have suggested he should. "In light of Ceglia's brazen defiance of court orders — and the serious charges leveled against him by his own attorneys — this court may wish to order Ceglia to personally appear ... and provide direct answers to the many remaining questions concerning his conduct in this litigation," Facebook attorney Orin Snyder wrote in an Oct. 14 filing supporting sanctions.

A policy at Evergreen Park High School allows students to leave class three times per semester to go to the restroom. After that, they have to make up any missed class time after school. Principal Bill Sanderson said that the policy is designed to make sure that students don't miss valuable class time. He says it deters them from using restroom visits as an excuse to miss class. Each teacher gets to decide whether to enforce the policy in their classes. But some students argue that they don't have time to stop at the restroom otherwise because they only get five minutes between classes. Associated Press AND THAT'S IT FOR TODAY. ANY QUESTIONS?

Sean Powers ENTERTAINMENT Muslim comic book builds global appeal ASSOCIATED PRESS In two vastly different cultures, Naif Al-Mutawa'a tale hits a few roadblocks — "villains" if you will: Censorship from Saudi Arabia, home to the main Muslim holy sites; in the United States, a struggle to build an audience where free expression has been hampered by a post-9/11 rise in suspicion and scrutiny of all things Islamic. "That's one of the things that was most disappointing to me in the beginning," Al-Mutawa said on a recent visit to Detroit. "You have two birthplaces: You have the birthplace of Islam, which initially rejected it (and) the birthplace of democracy and tolerance, this country, that I'm now facing resistance in — the two natural places for this product." Comic book fans might call it a great origin story: In the aftermath of 9/11, a Muslim man creates a comic book series, "The 99," inspired by the principles of his faith. It builds a global audience and investors contribute millions for it to continue and expand. For Al-Mutawa, it's evidence that tales like his are needed to counter hardline, intolerant ideologies of all stripes. Al-Mutawa's reputation in the Middle East and elsewhere has grown since the 2006 debut of "The "Basically, 'The 99' is based on Quranic archetypes, the same way that Batman and Superman are based on Judeo-Christian and Biblical archetypes. And just like Batman and Superman are secular story lines, so too are 'The 99'," he said. "The 99" grew out of his childhood love of Batman, Superman and their superhero brethren, along with a desire to provide role models for his five young sons. Al-Mutawa, a U.S. educated psychologist from Kuwait, has been promoting "Wham! Bam! Islam!" a PBS documentary that tells the story of "The 99" from an idea hatched during a cab ride to its raising of $40 million in three calls for investors. "It seemed to me that the only people using mass media when it came to things to do with religion — at least my religion — were people who were doing very destructive things. So the question was how do I challenge that in a way that's secular yet cannot be dismissed as Western?" The comic book spawned a TV series and 26 half-hour episodes of the 3-D animated version of the "The 99" have been sold to broadcasters. They are expected to be released early next year in more than 50 countries, and a second season is in production. 99", as well as its rollout into animation. The series is named for the 99 qualities the Quran attributes to God: strength, courage, wisdom and mercy among them. "One of the comments on the blogs that ended up delaying us was someone who warned that we can't let the Muslims brainwash our children like the Mexicans did with 'Dora the Explorer," Al-Mutawa said. Still, he's measuring broader acceptance in other ways. He worked with DC Comics last year on a crossover that teamed "The 99" with The Justice League of America. Al-Mutawa said it took investment by an Islamic investment bank to make his series "halal" or acceptable to Saudi officials. The nation's government-run broadcaster has since bought the rights to the animated series. So has The Hub cable network in the U.S. — though the latter has indefinitely postponed airing it after some critical columns and blog posts. Critics on both sides of the religious and cultural divide see subversion in Al-Mutawas superheroes. Some hardline Muslims say the series subverts their faith by embodying the attributes in human characters, while a few non-Muslim American critics have labeled it sneaky Islamic indoctrination.

The Student Senate at University of Kansas is a strong governing body that stretches itself across the whole student campus spectrum, but after looking at its communication channels, the dissemination of information to the student body can be improved. Student Senate must put pressure on external company A reorganization of the Student Senate website was suggested to be the first step in establishing better communication with students this term. We hoped Senate members would post the minutes of each Senate meeting on its website as soon as possible for a reasonable amount of time, as well as keep current voting records up-to-date. However, the only voting records on the site date back to the 2009-2010 term and the latest minutes and legislative documents are from summer meetings. In an email, Executive Secretary of Student Senate Alek Joyce explains that since a private company called the KERN group, a Lawrence-based marketing firm, originally produced the site, the site hasn't been easy to work with and has presented problems. Many HTML templates are corrupted and EDITORIAL members can't add new pages. Since Student Senate outreach director Brandon Woodard started his position this past summer, efforts have been made to fix the issues. Joyce assures however that they will make any legislations, minutes, or voting records available to anyone who asks. "The only problem we've had is with accessibility" he said. "And we are working as hard as possible to make our information accessible on our website." Student Senate is showing a commitment to fixing this problem, but we're now halfway into the semester, and minutes and voting records haven't been updated on the website. If Student Senate wants to emulate an official government, mass communication and social media connections with its constituents, students, should be a top priority. Fixing the communication problem needs a tight deadline. Maybe the Senate needs to put more pressure on the KERN group to fix the minor difficulties, or maybe it needs to put more Senate members on the task with Woodard, but online communication with students shouldn't remain broken for this extended period of time. Like any public body led by elected officials backed by voters, Senate leaders should treat the student body like their boss. And to be successful, keeping your boss informed is an essential part of your duties. While the website design is finishing, its makeover, it should still be updated to reflect the latest decisions from Student Senate meetings, and it should be fixed soon. AWARENESS Domestic violence is a national problem FFAs every day. By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com The other day a friend of mine showed me a Wordpress blog called "Break the Silence at Vassar". It is a website for anonymous posting of stories related to sexual assault and similar instances of personal violation at the college in Hudson Valley, N.Y. The blog was created by a student group at Vassar called the Feminist Alliance for the purposes of creating a safe space for sharing personal experiences and bringing the issue to the surface. Reading the entries gives you a sense of the anguish and trauma the victims deal with long after the actual instance of violence. It also serves as a grave reminder that these crimes don't happen to strangers in a far-away place—they happen to our friends, family, and peers. It is important to remember while reading the blog to know that this issue isn't isolated at Vassar; this doesn't happen at a certain "type" of school or in a specific geographical area. This can happen and does happen at universities and colleges everywhere. College provides a unique setting for this type of violence, given our living environments, our average age group, and the dating atmosphere, and it is necessary for students to be aware of the risks. This reality became all too apparent in our community with the murder of Jana Mackey in 2008, a Kansas law student who dedicated herself to activism and raising awareness about these very issues. Precisely because it can happen to anyone, it's important to be aware of what this violence is. That is why some University student organizations have banded together to organize Domestic Violence Awareness Week for the past few years. This year DVAW starts on Mon., Oct. 24 with the annual Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture keynote speech by Tony Porter, who will be speaking about men's role in ending violence against women. In the spirit of awareness and education about these issues, I am continuing the discussion with a series of columns about domestic violence, sexual assault, and what goes on at college campuses. If these situations sound familiar, do not hesitate to seek help from Lawrence community services. And if you have specific issues you would like to see addressed in this series, please email me at kcosby@kansan.com.

Not by an enemy power, à la "Red Dawn", but by a large group of upset, unemployed and/or disenfranchised Americans. It is now a national protest spanning from the original Occupy Wall Street to places such as this very college town. What they demand and protest against is, in the view of this writer, outrageous, uninformed and unattainable. By Billy McCroy editor@kansan.com difficult keeping everything straight. The laughable disorganization aside, the more extremist portions of the movement demand a living wage and a guaranteed living wage regardless of employment. A living wage is the idea that people should be given an amount of money from the government to live on, something akin to a minimum wage for being a citizen. The idea that some actually think this is possible or even a good idea is ridiculous and a slap in the face to hardworking Americans. If you think I'm going to pay my tax money to go toward your living wage, regardless of employment, you've got another think coming. Instead of draining the nation with this living wage, people should become productive members of the economy and lend themselves to growing the output this country relies on. Before they start running an OccupyMcCroy house, let's look at some of their demands. However, therein lies the first problem with the movement. There are so many different so-called "factions", that it is If I borrow money, I am expected Stefanie Penn for Kansan Editorial to pay it back; in the same fashion that I expect to get the money agreed upon, that I would receive. That is the very nature of a loan agreement, if FAFSA decided to not fulfill its student financial aid promises, students would become enraged, for good reasons. So the idea that those institutions and banks shouldn't be paid back goes against every reasonable borrowing practice. Furthermore, any belief that the Federal Reserve System and its chairman Ben Bernanke acted against the interests of the United States or the economic/financial system of our country is absurd. I've suggested that perhaps a survey class of economics should be administered at these protests, yet I've seen reason to believe this hasn't been taken. What this comes down to is one of life's hard truths. There is no such thing as a free lunch. The government doesn't owe any of us anything financially. We have to gain it through persistence, effort and a little luck. And this isn't a movement of new ideas; we're in a time where many of us are down on our luck and frustrated with our current situations. However, wasting time by marching for more regulation and a living wage is a complete waste of time. It is easy to look at people who aren't as hard hit by the crisis and resulting recession and want what they have; however, demanding that they are the reason for your individual problems is a misunderstanding of the situation or the result of a gross lack of personal reflection. So instead of occupying the streets of New York or Lawrence, perhaps people should occupy the library and classroom.

If a school does not make AYP three years in a row in a Title 1 school, a student's parents may school-of-choice their student or obtain a tutor for their student at the schools cost. The targets for AYP are too high for certain groups within schools to obtain and this is not fair to schools, teachers or students. Student anxiety levels are higher than ever because of school mandated testing required by the No Child Left Behind Act. As university students who will one day be parents and/or teachers we have a duty to understand the No Child Left Behind Act. I know there are teachers who don't understand No Child Left Behind and it's extremely necessary for teachers to know it.

NCLB doesn't have the language to compensate for those situations. Also, parents can exempt their children from testing. How can the expectations of NCLB then be met? The school has no way to test based on the parents' preferences for whatever reason. CONTACT US With all the prescribed testing mandates under the No Child Left Behind Act, it's leaving school districts unable to realistically comply with the law. After two years of failing to meet Adequate Yearly Progress, schools are labeled with "Improvement" and it doesn't seem realistic to expect proficiency out of every school district. When 80 percent of students make AYP but the target is 91.9 percent, the label of "Improvement" is given. I believe that being able to flex AYP targets based on the specific groups which are being tested would greatly help school districts. We cannot expect every student to meet 100 percent proficiency even though we may give different assessments to different groups. Alternative and special education students may not have the same abilities as general education students. The different groups need different target rates for their tests; if a student is given a different standardized test because of ability the AYP target needs to be flexible also.

"Being able to be a part of helping someone achieve their dreams is a fun thing to do," Bessent said. Bevens said he has already experienced the benefits of having an experienced coach around. Bessent said she would like to bring Kansas racquetball back to the level it had when she played. With her help and the club's determination, she believes the club may return to its former glory. "I've improved greatly in the month that I've been playing compared to the semester I had last year," Bevens said. "There's a lot more to the game then just hitting a ball." "It's not about me. It's about them." Bessent said. "If you believe in them, they will accomplish things they never thought possible."

Matson Ten undefeated teams left conference faunts three ASSOCIATED PRESS The conference that keeps getting put down, the one supposedly in turmoil with an interim commissioner trying his best to hold things together, has more unbeaten football teams than any other in the country. Third-ranked Oklahoma was expected to be the need. No. 6 Oklahoma State has the kind of high-powered offense that could give anybody fits. But the surprise is No. 12 Kansas State, which gives the Big 12 three teams at the midway point in the season that have yet to taste defeat. That goes for the other unbeatens, too. "Any way you can find a way to win is good," said Cowboys coach Mike Gundy, whose team faces Missouri on Saturday. "We just have to continue to find a way to win." The Sooners have perhaps the stiffest test this week when they welcome Texas Tech, which had Texas A&M and Kansas State on the ropes in its only two losses. The Wildcats get in-state rival Kansas. There's a good chance all three will still be undefeated a week from now. "It is what it is," said Kansas State coach Billy Snyder, whose spunky Wildcats are off to their best start since 2000 despite getting outgained just about every time they step on the field. "We're fortunate to be where we are right now, I understand that. I can appreciate that," Snyder said. "But our thinking is about working on Monday, and tomorrow we'll try Tuesday and so on down the road. There's not a great deal of thought given to what's happened the first six ball games." Most of the Big 12 conversations this season have been about whether it will survive. Nebraska is already gone to the Big Ten, Colorado is playing in the Pac-12 and the Aggies are SEC-bound. Missouri is trying to figure out whether it wants to stay or go, and TCU is getting ready to join the fold. Rather than talk about what interim commissioner Chuck Neinas is trying to accomplish in holding all the pieces together, though, maybe the conversation should be about what Gundy, Snyder and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops have done in making the conference one of the toughest in the country. The SEC is the only other league that has two undefeated teams, Alabama and LSU. Stanford is still without a loss in the Pac-12, Clemson is perfect in the ACC, Wisconsin is unblemished in the Big Ten, and Boise State and Houston are both undefeated through their first six games. Critics will point out that teams elsewhere have managed to beat each other up already, and that's certainly true in many cases. Michigan State knocked Michigan from the ranks of the unbeaten Saturday, and Virginia did likewise to Georgia Tech. But of the 10 unbeaten teams in the FBS, three of them are in the Big 12 and they are in the top 12. “There’s always some spots here and there through six games you’d like to do better,” Stoops said, “but I feel like we’re playing pretty well.” That's quite the understatement. The Sooners beat then-No. 5 Florida State, then-No. 11 Texas in the Red River Rivalry shootout, and have outscored their last three opponents by a combined 164-40. going on now at Weaver's Clinique Free Gift!

After taking on top-four primarily pass-happy offenses the past two weeks of the season, the Wildcats will provide a different challenge for the Kansas defense. Kansas State averages 76 more rushing yards per game than passing yards and has a total offense that ranks 94th in the country. previous opponents, the Wildcats sit 6-0 on the year and have victories over Miami, Missouri, Baylor and Texas Tech. this week's game against No. 12 Kansas State. The Wildcats run a slower, more methodical offense than the hurry-up offenses of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech that Kansas has faced. While the numbers and style aren't as intimidating as Kansas' The challenge though is one that Johnson and the rest of the Kansas defense will not shy away from. And while Johnson could hardly walk after the Oklahoma game, his legs will be ready come this Saturday. "They're going to try to walk in here and push us around but we can allow them to do that," Johnson said. "Nothing is going to hold me back from this game." Edited by Rachel Schultz VOLLEYBALL KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS NO STATE 7 Junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree follows thought on a kill attempt in a game last season. Kansas is preparing to face K-State despite several though losses this season. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Refocused Jayhawks prepare for Wildcats MATT GALLOWAY malloway@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK_vball The Kansas volleyball team has played four of the top eight ranked teams in the country. When the NCAA released its RPI projections earlier this week, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 39. But none of that softens the blow that the team's recent slump has taken on coach Ray Bechard and his players. "That RPI formula is a little too complex for a guy like me to figure out," Bechard said. "We know that our schedule has been demanding, but we've got some good RPI teams in front of us, including K-State." The layhawks (12-7, 0-6) will once again look for their first conference win tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center against rival K-State (14-6, 3-3). Bechard's squad was two points away from sweeping nationallyranked Oklahoma on Saturday, and one point away from sweeping Texas A&M the week before. The team went on to lose both of those games. Given the heartbreaking manner of the losses, Bechard said he has been encouraged with the intensity the team still has in practice. The Jayhawks have blown three two-sets-to-none leads against three different ranked teams this season. Junior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree said the team needs to get a fourth set win to build confidence that losing the third is not the end of the world. "Refocusing in the fourth set is important," Tolefree said. "Volleyball is a game of moment, and in the fourth, the other team has momentum because they've continued the game." One of the encouraging signs in Saturday's loss was the breakout "Tate is just a very calming presence," Tolefree said. "That's the number one thing we think of when we think of Tate. If you look at her, she never looks rattled, she never looks anxious or anything." "You see cracks everywhere in the foundation. Players are doubting themselves a bit," Bechard said. "But in the end, we'll continue to forge ahead with what we know is the right plan. Wednesday is another opportunity to display that." performance by senior setter Nicole Tate. In one of her first starts of the season, Tate led everyone on the court with 59 assists. "You have teachers throughout the school and you find those rare K-State fans." Tolefee said. "You're just like, 'Why? Why?' Tolefree, a Lawrence native, said the games against K-State and Missouri always bring out the most raucous crowds. Growing up in Lawrence has made it easy for her to hate K-State, she said. Tate said she takes pride in having a poker face on the court. "I think it's something I've developed over the years of playing" Tate said. "It's worked for me, so I've kept it going. It helps other people out, so it's important."

A: Junior wide receiver Chris Harper statesports.com — ks Handing out my own NBA awards MORNING BREW A After last night, the National Basketball Association would have 10 preseason games completed. Instead, it's still in lockout mode, but that won't restrict me from handing out my own unique awards. Dennis Rodman Award: LeBron lames, Miami Heat This might be the easiest choice in the list of awards, but first, we need a definition of the phrase "prima donna" according to dictionary.com: "A temperamental person; a person who takes adulation and privileged treatment as a right and reacts with petulance to criticism or inconvenience." By Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com LeBron James is one of my favorite players, but the man easily takes this award. Who else has hosted a special program for an hour over his decision on betraying the Cleveland Cavaliers? Who else has a Nike commercial that makes fun of Charles Barkley while whispering. "What should I do?" Oh, and don't forget that LeBron thrives off criticism from fans. LeBron James is a rare talent, but maybe he should focus on his fourth quarter skills and not our boring. normal lives. Honorable mention: Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks playoffs against the Boston Celtics and complain about wanting more money. Anthony didn't host a special show about his decision, but he did one particular thing that automatically placed him in this category: quit. Anthony quit on the Nuggets to travel east only to pass the final shot to other players in the Allen Iverson Award: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder The definition of a "ball hog" is fairly straightforward to me; it is a player that controls the ball for too long with better options on the team. Russell Westbrook is an excellent player with potential to be a great point guard for many years to come. His athleticism makes him a rare point guard in the NBA, but his jump shot still needs improvement. With that said, many people should remember the latest playoff run for the Thunder. Kevin Durant is the biggest star on the team. Usually the star takes the majority of the shots, but it's Westbrook who continued to force shots. Westbrook was a black hole in the series and if he would have passed the ball, maybe the Thunder would be NBA champions. Honorable mention: Monta Ellis, Golden State Warriors Ellis averaged 24 points last season and 20 shots a game. Averaging those numbers clearly made him the star on the team. Need I say more? Rasheed Wallace Award: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers This award came down to two people, but I believe Bryant is the clear winner. In honor of the technical king Wallace, this award goes to the biggest crybaby. Bryant is one of the best guards in history of the NBA, but I have never seen someone complain as much as him. KU I will always remember Bryant for giving his infamous "don't blame me" face. Every time he thinks he is fouled, he will always let the referee know about it. Just ask Bennie Adams. While on the bench, Kobe let an expletive and a homophobic slur go to Adams. Yes, the "black mamba" deserves this award. Honorable mention: Kendrick Perkins, Oklahoma City Thunder Has there ever been a time that Perkins smiled or laughed in his life? Has there ever been a moment when he didn't complain about an obvious foul against the opponent? I didn't think so. The lockout may still have the chains in place, but don't let that restrict you from creating your own awards for the players. THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Edited by Rachel Schultz 大 跑 Jc C Sport Wed. Thurs.

It's easy to forget the small things that truly matter in life during the infinitely fast 60 minutes of football, where human beings dress up in pads — a body armor of sorts — to help launch themselves at their opponent, their enemy for the day. Kansas, trailing 10-0 to No. 3 Oklahoma in the first quarter of the game, began a drive down the field. Freshman running back Darrian Miller broke through the Oklahoma defense in a run that brought the 42,580 fans at Memorial Stadium to their feet. Three plays later, with the scoreboard showing fourth and one for Kansas on its 39-yard line, the Jayhawks had a crucial play on their hands. Instead of those fans, outfitted from head to toe in crimson and blue, rising off the bleachers and yelling in encouragement for the Jayhawks to go for it, they were silenced. The stadium grew to an eerie hush, as the Kansas players watched their teammate, captain and friend lay motionless on the field. Edited by Jonathan Shorman As for Hatch, he was able to walk away from the frightening injury with a simple lesson learned. Senior center Jeremiah Hatch was removed from the field on a stretcher and taken out of the stadium in an ambulance. Hatch suffered a blow during the previous play that coach Turner Gill said resulted in him not being able to move his fingers, thus causing the vigilant precautions to take place. There is more than the score But, as the Kansas football program caught a break, the rest of the sports world did not. Hatch returned to the sidelines later in the game and may even be able to play Saturday. By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com It's easy to get caught up in the grand scheme of sports. The championships that fans so desperately desire, the games that can affect a person's day, week, month or year. But with the glory that runs parallel to the sporting world, also comes an awful price, one that should not be taken for granted. I IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon was killed on Sunday, shortly after a 15-car accident during the IndyCar World Championship in Las Vegas. The bright lights of Sin City were dull in comparison to the terrifying scene that brought the often out of touch sports world back to reality. Barden was starting on the varsity team for the first time. Unfortunately, Barden would miss out on so many other firsts that were yet to come, so many surprises that lay hidden in his future. And the world will miss out on so many things from Barden as a result of sports. 9 SOUND 27 And Wheldon wasn't the only loss the sports world had this weekend. Senior linebacker Steven Johnson and freshman defensive back Victor Simmons team up to tackle Oklahoma's Dominique Whaley in the first half of Saturday night's game at Memorial Stadium. Kansas lost 47-17 and are now 2-4 for the season. Kansas remains winless in Big 12 play and will facethe undefeated Kansas State Wildcats next weekend. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN The 33-year-old Wheldon was coming off a victory on the IndyCar scene's grandest stage, the Indianapolis 500. Wheldon had been racing in America since 1999 and was an accomplished driver on the track, but his accomplishments on the track paled in comparison to what he had off of it a family. Wheldon married his long-time personal assistant in 2008 and had two sons. They will never know and most likely will never remember their father. A single collision ended the young life of a 16-year-old football player in Phoenix, N.Y., this past Friday night. After a run up the middle at the goal line, one player, Ridge Barden, ended up face down on the field, The New York Times reported. Barden, the backup center, attempted to stand before finally collapsing. He died two hours later as a result of a massive subdural hematoma, a collection of blood in the brain. CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS DOWN, BUT NOT OUT MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Senior linebacker Steven Johnson tiptoed out of the post game press conference as it came to its conclusion following Kansas' 47-17 loss to Oklahoma. Johnson didn't do this by choice, but had to limp because he could hardly walk after the effort he gave on the field Saturday. Johnson finished with 13 tackles, a team high, and one interception. The performance was an impressive one that many of his defensive teammates noticed, including freshman linebacker Collin Garrett. "I don't think I've ever seen somebody go as hard as he went," Garrett said. While Johnson could hardly walk after Saturday's game, the scene just a few hours before was the opposite. Johnson, who considers himself to be not much of a talker, said he was a little out of character. He rallied the troops and delivered an encouraging speech to the struggling defense. Freshman defensive back, Victor Simmons, said the speech was one of the big factors that got the defense pumped before the game and that it got the defense ready to go. "I don't want to say it's your 'Friday Night Lights' speech or anything like that, but I was just so passionate about this one and I wanted to get this win" Johnson said. "I just wanted everyone to feel the same, to be there with me." could not have come at a better time for the Jayhawks, who have been integrating some of their younger players into the defensive action, including Garrett and Simmons. Johnson's fiery attitude Saturday Garrett said he looks up to Johnson more than any other player on the team because of his success at the same position. He said he sees Johnson practicing like it's his last practice every day and that he can't do anything but imitate Johnson if he wants to be as good as him one Hannah Hindman, a senior from St. Louis, follows through on a return shot at racquetball practice. Hindman is now in her second year as club president and practices twice a week with the club. SEE FOOTBALL | 6 CLUB SPORTS Racquetball team bounces back to competitive status PASSING JAIN TRIMRLE/KANSAN GEOFFREY BERGSTROM editor@kansan.com Many years ago, Kansas boasted a No. 13 nationally ranked raceletball club, but membership dwindled to just four members as of last year. Club president and senior Hannah Hindman is working hard with the new coach of the club, Stephanie Bessent, to bring the club back to its former glory, starting with recruiting new members. "We're up to 18 players in the club so far this season," Hindman said. "And we were able to take eight players to our last tournament." Hindman, who is entering her second year as club president, has been playing racquetball for seven years, dating back to her sophomore year of high school. To stay competitive, she plays almost all year in addition to practicing twice a week with the rest of the club. Her hard work has a special motivation behind it, too. "I like beating the boys," Hindman said. The KU Racquetball Club boasts all ranges of experience levels. Sophomore Matthew Bevens has only been with the club for a month. "Last year at George Washington, they had no formal group for racquetball, so I just went out with friends and played," Bevens said. "When I got to KU, they actually had a group, so I just said sign me up." Although Bevens has yet to play in a competitive match, he still thrives on the competition within the club during their semi-weekly practices. "There's enough strategy in the game to keep it mentally interesting and the constant physical movement and competition keeps it fun," Bevens said. Another new face in the club is coach Stephanie Bessent, a former Kansas racquetball player. Bessent, who has been with the group for about three weeks, spent seven years playing in the Women's Professional Racquetball Organization. She has been playing for more than 30 years. Although she enjoyed her time while playing professionally, Bessent said she feels the most accomplished with her coaching career. "The year I enjoyed the most was when I coached three juniors to the nationals." Bessent said. "I also had a player play in a men's tournament at age of 14." SEE RACQUETBALL 16 MEN'S BASKETBALL Forward receives honors MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com CBSSports.com recognized junior forward Thomas Robinson as a preseason first-team All-American on Monday, along with Wisconsin guard Jordan Taylor, Vanderbilt guard John Jenkins, North Carolina forward Har Robinson forward Harrison Barnes and Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger. CBS Sports college basketball insiders Gary Parrish and Jeff Goodman assembled the list and believe that Robinson's production will increase because of the Morris twins departure. "Robinson only played about 15 minutes per game last season, but he'll get the chance to be 'The Guy' this year now that the Morris Twins have left. He's relentless and should be good for plenty of double-doubles this season," Parrish and Goodman wrote on the website.

Unless they are being discussed by comedian Josh Blue, who focuses his stand-up routine on his cerebral palsy. Blue won NBC's Last Comic Standing in 2006 and performed in Woodruff Auditorium last night as part of Disability Awareness Month. Blue started off the night reminiscing about being born in Africa and traveling as a child. "I got to see other parts of the world and see how other people are living," he said. "And I realized that just because I have this physical disability doesn't mean I don't have a ton of spectacular things going on in my life. Like food and shoes." He then turned his attention to Lawrence and the University of Kansas sports teams. "You guys have an awesome basketball team, by the way," Blue said. "But I could play for your football team." Some of the biggest laughs of the night came courtesy of the sign language interpreters who sat on the corner of the stage and at times attempted to recreate the unusual position of Blue's right hand caused by his cerebral palsy when it was part of his jokes. "I've got palsy," he said after catching the interpreter mimicking him. "I'm not blind." Ryan King, a freshman from Omaha, Neb., was a fan of Blue's before the show thanks to "Last Comic Standing" and said that he enjoyed his live performance, too. King was impressed by how the comedian embraced his disability and turned it into the subject of his stand up routine. "I think it's awesome," said King. "A lot of people would be embarrassed, but he uses it to his advantage." IESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN Comedian Josh Blue performs at the Woodruff Auditorium Wednesday night at the Kansas Union. Blue is known for winning NBC's Last Comic Standing in 2006 and for his self-deprecating humor focusing on his cerebral palsy. Throughout the night, students laughed at Blue mocking his own disability. Getting people to see the disabled in a new way is a goal of Blue's and of Disability Awareness Month. "It's not about making people feel guilty," said Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, which co-sponsored the event with SUA. "It's about recognition." Edited by Jennifer DiDonato Rasnak said she would like everybody on campus to become more aware of staff, faculty and students with disabilities and recognize how they contribute to campus and the community. CAMPUS Tell-all actor comes to campus screening CAITLIN DOORNBOS editor@kansan.com Editor's Note: Caitlin Doornbos is the KJHK news director. She was given extended access to the actor Andy Dick when he was in Lawrence earlier this week. This is her first-person perspective of her time with him. 2014 Andy Dick brought his mix of the profane and heartfelt onto campus Monday in a brief stop along his road to a comeback. KHK reporter Cattin Doornbos poses with Andy Dick after his screening. Doornbos had the chance to get to know the "real" Andy for a day... CONTRIBUTED BY TED GIANOPULOS Traveling to colleges all over the U.S. on a screening tour, the notorious actor may have seemed an odd fit at a university, given his troubled past. Nevertheless, SUA brought Dick in Monday night for a screening of his new film, "Division III," which was followed by a Q&A. A Twitter request for an interview received a near instantaneous reply. I told him to look for a blonde college girl hunting him down after the screening of the movie. “@kjhknews No, you look for me, Andy,” he wrote. “The skinny, blond, faggoty idiot who was in the movie you just saw.” That was the Andy Dick I was expecting. My mother warned me before meeting with him. "Careful, he has a crime record," she said. And indeed he does. In addition to roles on the NBC show "NewsRadio" and ABC's "Less Than Perfect" and appearances on Comedy Central Roasts, he has also played the role of jail inmate. Police have arrested the actor multiple times for drug use, possession and public intoxication. Dick has also been arrested for sexual battery. What I found, however, was an individual immersed in his own insecurity. He admitted that he believes the same openness that he has always held with his fans led to the public intoxication and media scrutiny. But this openness was the same element that al- SEE CELEBRITY PAGE 3 LOCAL EVICTION NOTICE ISSUED COME HELP US LAWRENCE!

Wednesday afternoon that they'd have to leave the park by 11:30 Thursday night. Occupy Lawrence protest will remain in South Park LUKE RANKER Iranker@kansan.com The City of Lawrence informed the Occupy Lawrence group camping in South Park Wednesday afternoon that they would have to obey city ordinance and leave the park after hours. Toni Wheeler, director of the legal department, visited the group with Parks and Recreation interim director Ernie Shaw, superintendent Mark Hecker and chief of police Tarik Khatib. The city delegates informed the group that after 11:30 p.m. Thursday night they would consider Occupy Lawrence in violation of city park hours. According to a city ordinance all city parks except Burcham Park are closed between 11:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. Burcham is closed after 10:30 p.m. "It was a cordial meeting,very cooperative," Wheeler said. "I am hopeful they comply." After a three-hour debate, the Occupy Lawrence group decided that members could make individual decisions about staying in the park past 11:30 p.m., but as a group they "stand in solidarity" with those who stay. "It's about respecting that some can't deal with legal action," Lydia Gibson, who facilitated the groups assembly Wednesday night, said. She said she hadn't personally made a decision about whether she would stay or not.

Wheeler said that earlier in the week the group had a 24-hour permit which expired, but they have been working with the Occupy group. "Our plan is to remain in communication with them," she said.

The bishop of Kansas City, Mo., had acknowledged in May that he waited five months to tell police about the hundreds of images of alleged child pornography found on the Rev. Shawn Ratigan's computer. Ratigan had taken some of the photos of girls months ago at an Easter party he hosted, investigators said. More than 700 people have joined a Facebook page called "Bishion Finn Must Go." However, no such demands have come from within in the church hierarchy. Finn, who has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failure to report suspected child abuse, is expected to stay on. ZANESVILLE. OHIO Sheriff's deputies shot nearly 50 lions, tigers and other beasts in a big-game hunt across the Ohio countryside Wednesday after the owner of a wild-animal park threw their cages open and committed suicide in what may have been one last act of vengeance against neighbors and police. As homeowners nervously took cover indoors, officers spread out through fields and woods to hunt down about 56 animals, including bears, wolves and monkeys. After an all-night hunt that extended into the afternoon, 48 animals had been gunned down and six captured alive and taken to the Columbus Zoo, authorities said. As of midafternoon, the only animals still on the loose were a wolf and a monkey, according to the sheriff's office. LONDON St. Paul's Cathedral says it may be time for the Occupy London Stock Exchange protesters gathered outside the iconic church to leave. Until now, church staff have allowed the protesters to remain. But in a statement released late Wednesday, St. Paul said that the "increased scale and nature" of the camp could make it more difficult for the cathedral to stay open for worshippers and tourists. Many have since hunkered down outside the cathedral, pitching tents and setting up a makeshift kitchen, toilets and an information center. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the London landmark over the weekend as part of the global Occupy Wall Street protests. The statement asked: "Is it now time for the protest camp to leave?"

At the Q&A after the movie screening, Dick and Marshall Cook, the co-star, writer and director, explained the effect students can make by fulfilling their dreams right now. "Whatever it is you want to do, just get up and do it," Dick said. "I'm here to light a fire under your ass." Coach Vice, the football coach in Division III and Dick's character, is described as hardcore, physically and verbally abusing his players. But there's also a deeper sensitivity to the coach as well. He is an absurd, larger-than-life character with a troubling past that includes the attempted murder of a "I guess it's not that thin of a veil, because I thought that I'm doing a character," he said. "And I thought that maybe people might notice that it's kind of autobiographical, but probably they're not going to because I'm a football coach and I look different and I've got that mustache." little league team. In the midst of a plot not unlike "Remember the Titans" or "Friday Night Lights". Vice is wild and abrasive, yet he is grounded as a shaken, distressed man who cannot get it together and wants to do something good. I pointed out the similarities to Dick between him and his character in "Division III." While Dick admitted he never played football, unlike Cook who played in college, he said that he did see parallels between himself and Vice. "I do connect with somebody who has had a horrible time in life," he said. "Don't get me wrong. I've had a great time in life, sometimes too good, but to get to a place in my career where people are crapping on my head a lot, rightfully. I deserve a lot of it, but to try to crawl out of that ditch that I dug for myself is hard for anybody. I'm having a hard time, you know?" Andy is crawling out of that ditch with the help of the documentary he is filming, tentatively titled "Andy Dick: Flip a Bitch" in which he is depicting his trials during his sober screening tour on college campuses. FLIPPING IT AROUND This flip is also the reason for his university tour to reach out to students. Dick said he wants to inspire and put dreams into motion. "I'm really trying to flip it around," Dick said. "I don't want you to look at my past and say, 'It's just going to be more of the same; He's going on college campuses; he's bound to get drunk and end up in jail. Nope. I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm flipping a bitch." "I've been there, done that," Dick said. "I've already lowing a more formal interviews At Free State Brewery, he greeted in "I'm turning over a new leaf, I'm flipping a bitch." made millions of dollars over and over on a number of series, and I get more turned on now just seeing somebody else say, 'Wow, I can do it,' and I'm the one that motivated them, as opposed to the old Andy Dick who would get more get turned on in a sexual way, drinking and going out and causing a ruckus, and then going to jail.'

OCCUPY FROM PAGE1 One of the major factors in the city's decision was public safety. "Our parks are not designed for overnight camping." Wheeler said. "They are for daily use." The group had difficulty reaching a decision because of various opinions about how the movement should go forward. Many felt the need to move forward as a single group. Other suggestions included only protesting during park hours or moving to other locations. One issue the fire chief had was a small fire the group had built to stay warm, Occupy member Jason Phoenix said. The group decided to put it out in order to avoid a larger issue. "If we back down, we're saying we agree with their authority," Lawrence resident and Occupy member Jim Davidson said. "I, for one, do not agree with their authority."

McClatchy Tribune MOVIES Olsen sister steps out of twins' shadow Elizabeth Olsen recently experienced something that had never happened to her. She was recognized by a stranger. That she would find this exchange exciting might seem, well, really weird in its own right. Olsen is the younger sister of those Olsens, the tabidli fixtures Mary-Kate and Ashley. She's spent a lifetime watching her sisters hounded by TMZ, pursued by autograph-seekers, roasted by late-night hosts. "It was really weird. I was walking in Tribeca and a guy just came up to me and said, 'I just saw the trailer for your movie, and I'm really looking forward to it,' and then he kept on walking," the young actress recalled. Walking around Greenwich Village, the outgoing 22-year-old might as well be just another NYU acting student, albeit one who happens to have spent parts of the past year shooting films. She has some of the same facial features as her famous sisters, but like so much in her life to this point, nothing about her suggests that she's related to the entertainment world's most famous twins. "You mean, there's another one?" actress Sarah Paulson said, laughing, as she recalled her reaction upon hearing about the third Olsen sister for the first time, before the pair began shooting their movie.

EDITORIAL Student protests should focus on college The group of 200 people who started camping out in a New York City plaza last month sparked a movement that now claims massive amounts of arrests, one-month revenues of $300,000, and a presence in Europe, Asia and Australia. The ideals of Occupy Wall Street, as the movement is known, now expand globally to express dissatisfaction in a way that cannot be ignored. But the grievances of protesters are moving far beyond the group's original demand to form a presidential committee on income inequality in the United States. On Oct. 8, Lawrence's own leg of Occupy came to life when a group of 100 people gathered to protest in front of the U.S. Bank building on Massachusetts Street. However, instead of primarily focusing on financial discontent, some members of the campaign focused their efforts on awareness more than action. Some are demanding specific changes to city ordinances. Occupy Lawrence, which includes University of Kansas students, has homeed in on some specific demands for the city, but the demonstrations have transformed into a broad forum where people can come together for discussion and exchange of ideas. As the protests spread, the ultimate goal has become unclear. Income inequality is a central issue, but students have other concerns. Within Occupy Lawrence, students have protested the tax code, executive bonuses and the inequity of capitalism, among other issues. While a college town like Lawrence is a perfect venue to spark new ideas and promote change, students must gear their efforts to policies that pertain to their own lives and futures. Advocate for policy changes to extend the grace period on student loans. The normal six-month grace period for federal financial aid is not sufficient enough time for students to find a stable job and steady income in this economy, even with a college degree. Student loan debt forgiveness should also be a goal. loans is detrimental to this contribution. Aiding these debt-laden students benefits the economy as a whole, which is the essence of the Occupy movement. The large-scale national issues are still important, but it's more effective for students to find policies that affect them, voice their opinions in an international movement, and become catalysts for change. After all, changing the world is what the University experience is all about. College graduates can be refreshing and powerful additions to the work force and consumer spending, but repaying massive amounts of student Adam Miklos for the Kansan Editorial Board CAMPUS Fraternities display teamwork at 5K run This past Sunday, the Kansas Chapter of Habitat for Humanity held its annual Crunchy Chicken Challenge 5K Cun. Contestants ran up and around Jayhawk Boulevard, stopping once on Wescoe Beach to eat a delectable crunchy chicken cheddar wrap before running the remaining one and a half miles to the finish. Runners ranged from freshman students to middle-aged men and women, and from individual runners to greek houses. Prizes were given out to not only the top three winners of each division, but also to the individual dressed in the most outrageous costume. None of these details struck a chord with me at the end of the day. Being there in the crowd of about 170 people, it was easy to distinguish the fraternities from the rest of the group. They were the large groups of boys with the stereotypical backwards caps, Ray Ban sunglasses and the tacky, brightly colored sunglass straps. One look at the groups and it becomes immediately hard for people not to roll their eyes in disgust. Stereotypes flood the brain with questions of their true intent for being at the race, what might they pull during it, and finally who's getting hazed and who actually wants to be there. Finally, after much deliberation, most come to the conclusion that the race, along with the world, would be better off if they just didn't show up, or existed for that matter. By Trent Kuhl editor@kansan.com Think again As runners crossed the finish line, it became apparent that at least a third of the runners were from Greek houses; all of them supporting a cause that was worth the time of the roughly 170 participants. Not only that, but they also swept the competition for most outrageous costume. But what really caught my attention was at the very end of the race when a fraternity brother rounding the corner to come down Daisy Hill was met by the rest of his brothers, who had already finished, and they completed the race together. They didn't go unheard either. Cheers and shouts of motivation led the member down the hill and across the finish line, where his brothers congratulated him with pats on the back and high fives. Nobody else in the race was congratulated or motivated like this young man was. Just like any individual or other organization, fraternities and sororites have their faults, but they also have their own positive qualities. Yes, the Greek system is known being predominately a social organization, but who is to say that carries a negative connotation? The Greek system, if used effectively, is a great way for individuals to learn social behaviors that enable them to interact in a group setting, a life lesson that is essential for successful ventures into any sort of professional field. Life is a team sport, and a fraternity is simply a team of members sharing a common interest. My father, an alumnus and self-employed attorney for the last twenty years, hated the idea of his son joining a fraternity. Yet, when I was just a kid, he presented me with this life lesson: "Life is a team sport. How do you plan on being successful if you can't learn to get along with others?"

Today, I own an iPad, which serves the same purpose, but in a much quicker and easier way. The recent death of Steve Jobs has been a sort of enlightenment for me. Reading about his fascinating life story and innovative way of thinking, it's easy to wonder why more people don't strive to think like him. He made it look so easy, day in and day out. He was direct, unforgiving, and thought not of where society was, but where society was headed.

Follow us on Twitter @UDK_Opinion. Tweet your opinions, and we just might publish them. P that society is somehow "better" with his innovations. Better is arguable. Jobs was a man who recycled the age-old rhetoric of wanting to "change the world," and he had the audacity to back those up words with action. But "better" isn't the right word to use to describe how he affected the world. You could argue that Jobs bettered the world in a similar sense that you can argue that the invention of automobiles bettered the world: What has simplified and streamlined one person's life may have complicated or brought on economic or social hardship to another.

Ashwenis The fact that I downloaded the latest issue of Time Magazine and read it on my iPad before the magazine itself even got to my mailbox is a strong example as well. The ease and quickness by which we can access information and services today is a bit daunting. As our world evolves and we increase our access to information and also each other, the way we interact with one another will change and so will the very nature of our relationships with friends, family and potential partners. Letter writing has been replaced by Skipping. Music and book stores are being replaced by online stores. Don't fool yourself into thinking that your life has somehow improved, though. The idea of improvement is a societal construction that differs from person to person and society to society. It's human nature to desire something "better," and that's understandable. Jobs saw a potential in technology that others could only dream wildly of, which would make our world a better place. But again, our idea of "better" can easily conflict with another's idea of what is "better." Instead of focusing on improvement, we would all be better served in looking at the bigger picture. Only then can, we truly appreciate the portrait of our world that's constantly being painted and revised every moment of every day.

The duo enters the ITA Regional tournament in Oklahoma this weekend, hoping to snag a snaag to the National Championships tournament. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Doubles pair fight for national championship spot CORBIN MIHELIC editor@kansan.com Senior Ekaterina Morozova and sophomore Dylan Windom will experience a role-reversal this weekend when they travel to the ITA Regional tournament in Tulsa, Okla. A week ago, the duo made a surprising run to the quarterfinals of the TTA/Riviera All-American Championships after being the first Jayhawk tennis players invited to the tournament's main draw since 1990. This weekend, however, Morozova and Windom enter the tournament as the top-ranked doubles team in the central region. "I think it's a little more pressure, but I think we're ready," Morozova said. "We are both really excited to go there." Morozova and Windom won their first two matches against teams from Pepperdine and The winner of each regional will qualify for the National Indoor Championships Nov. 3-6 in New York City. Virginia in the All-American Championships before being ousted in the quarterfinals by the third-ranked Florida duo Sophie Oven and Alli Will. 8-0. "They held their own with Florida," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "The games were very close, even though the score didn't look like it." Regional play will begin Thursday and wrap up Sunday. "I wouldn't say we put any more pressure on ourselves just because we did so well at All-Americans," Windom said. "People expect us to do well. Anybody can get beat on any given day, and we proved that at All-Americans." While Morozova and Windom spend their weekend in Tulsa, the rest of the Jayhawks will stay in Lawrence to compete in the Kansas Invitational, which runs from Friday to Sunday. Victoria Khanevskaya won the KU Invitation's "White" singles draw in 2010 and hopes to defend her title this year. Khanevskaya, a junior from Moscow, Russia, will also play doubles this weekend with sophomore Amy Barnthouse. "I expect a lot from myself," Khanevskaya said. "The previous tournaments were like practice matches and this is the last one before the spring season, so I expect a lot. I expect myself to be in the final." After this weekend's tournaments, the team will take a two-month hiatus from competitive play. The spring portion of the season begins in Honolulu, Hawaii, with the Hawaii Invitational Jan. 12-14. Coach Amy Hall-Holt said most of the winter offseason workouts are individually oriented, and players spend much of their time working out specific weaknesses. "Each day we keep preparing what our goals are for this off-season and we try to accomplish those goals as we go on," Hall-Holt said. "We look forward to coming back in January having completed those goals to go to Hawaii." — Edited by Jonathan Shorman MEN'S BASKETBALL After four years of practice, Teahan ready for bigger role FANCLUB Senior guard Conner Teahan slams a dunk down during warm ups before the scrimmage at Friday's Late Night in the Phog at Allen Fieldhosue. Teahan is entering his final season and hoping for the plaving time. The guard expects more playing time in his fifth season KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN It's been four years at Kansas for guard Conner Teahan, but he says it feels like two. The former walk-on, now a scholarship player, is entering his fifth and final season as a jayhawk. He holds a finance degree and is working on a second in accounting. He was offered scholarships from many other schools in football and basketball while playing at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., but he just wanted to be a Jayahawk. He accepted a walk-on position from Kansas and received an athletic scholarship last season. Teahan said last year was a blur and this season, his last, will surely be the same. He has faint hopes of playing overseas next year but admits he'll probably have to find a "real job" and wants to stay near his hometown of Kansas City. But for now, he just wants to play basketball, and he wants to be a contender. "I've never been a big 'you help the team win in practice' type of guy," Teahan said. "Yeah, we prepare people for the game and everything like that, but I want to be out there on the court scoring points and getting stops." Luckily for Teahan, his last opportunity for playing time comes in a season where coach Bill Self might have no choice but to rely on the former walk-on. The ineligibility of freshman guard Ben McLemore as well as mass departures from last year's team have handcuffed some of Self's flexibility on the perimeter, possibly opening a slot for Teahan. Gone are Josh Selby, Brady Morningstar, and Tvrel Reed. "You're losing Tyrel, who has probably made as many big shots as anybody has for us period." Self said. On Morningstar, Self added, "People take him for granted, but you're losing your best perimeter defender, your best passer, your best ball mover and your best percentage three-point shooter. That's a lot." Somebody has to fill those shoes. It's worth noting that in six of the last seven seasons, Self had five guards average at least 10 minutes a game. With Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson, and Travis Releford as near locks for the rotation, that leaves three scholarship players to fill those last two potential spots: Conner Teahan and freshmen Naadir Tharpe and Merv Lindsay. Four years experience could give him a leg up on the freshman, and Teahan likes his chances. "As of right now, definitely," he said when asked if he'll play significant minutes this year. "I think that I will, but at the same time I don't even think about that. I just think about practicing as hard as I can and hope that it all works out. I'm hoping this year it will."

They are second in the MLB behind the New York Yankees' 27. FACT OF THE DAY MLB.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many World Series championships do the Texas Rangers have? MORNING BREW A: Zero --- MLB.com Two teams make big gains in NFL trades this season KU The NFL trade deadline passed last Tuesday with less noteworthy movement throughout the league's 32 teams than several of the rumors predicted. Some teams, however, did make trades that have the potential of being real game-changers. Here are a couple of highlights from the most recent trades: 1) Bengals trade Carson Palmer to the Raiders for a 2012 first-round pick and a conditional 2013 second-round pick By Kenton Watkins kwatkins@kansan.com This trade was the biggest one of the day. Not only did the Bengals get rid of a player who is declining, but they potentially get two first-round picks for him. Also considering that Palmer said he was never going to play for Cincinnati again, he wasn't nearly worth one first-round pick. Even if he does wind up being good, the Bengals upgrade the second-round pick to another first-round pick. The only way the Raiders can break even on this trade is if Palmer makes them playoff contenders for the next three to four years. The Raiders took a huge risk on a guy who was garbage last season, while the Bengals gained great picks. Winner: Bengals Most people think that the Rams are the winners of this trade, and they may wind up being right. However, right now I think that the Broncos won this trade as they move into the Tim Tebow era. 2) Broncos trade Brandon Lloyd to the Rams for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2012 Right now, the Broncos aren't winning and don't have a real chance at the playoffs. Considering that Lloyd is entering the prime of his career, he's most likely not going to stay with the Broncos while they are in a rebuilding period. This draft pick actually helps Denver more than it helps the Rams. The Rams are just as bad as, if not worse than, the Broncos and this year their shot at the playoffs is even worse. The Rams are in the middle of a rebuilding phase also, which means that Lloyd probably won't want to re-sign with them next year either. I don't really understand the upside for St. Louis if he doesn't re-sign; they will just be out another draft pick and seem to be only renting him for a season that is already lost. This trade would have made way more sense if the Titans or Texans had made the move for Lloyd. 请在下列操作中选择正确的选项并说明理由： Winner: Bronco THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Edited by Mandy Matney 火 人 跳 A Sport Thurs. Fri.

Late Night in the Phog has come and gone and that means only one thing: College basketball is upon us. We have 143 days until Selection Sunday, but don't worry. Kansas fans have plenty to look forward to this year. Matchups are possible with UCLA and Duke in the Maui Invitational, a showdown with Kentucky in Madison Square Garden, and maybe the best of all: Thomas Robinson and Ohio State's Jarred Sullinger — two first team All-Americans — battling it out in Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 10. Here are just a few questions heading into the season. I think he will. Robinson was named to the CBS all-American first team on Monday and people across the country are expecting a breakout year for the junior from Washington D.C. He played fewer than 15 minutes a game last year, but the same could be said about the Morris twins while Cole Aldrich was in the fold. Or Aldrich while Darrell Arthur, Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun were here, and on and on. As long as Danny Manning is on the coaching staff, all-American big men shouldn't be a surprise. I'll go with forward Kevin Young, the transfer from Loyola Marymount. Coach Bill Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty of playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young. At Loyola in 2009, Young broke freshmen records in total rebounds (224) and rebounds per game (7.2). He's also played for the Puerto Rican under-19 team, so the experience is there. WHAT PLAYER COULD SURPRISE FANS THIS SEASON? WHICH TYSHAWN TAYLOR WILL FANS SEE THIS YEAR? When Taylor is on, he's as good as any point guard in the Big 12. When he isn't? Well, it's not pretty. He was sometimes overshadowed on his own high school team at St. Anthony's in New Jersey. When he arrived at Kansas, it was the Sherron Collins show. Last season, the Morris twins were the go-to guys. But now as a senior, it's Taylor time. He has one season to cement his legacy among Kansas fans and significantly boost his NBA time. There's simply too much to lose for Taylor not to be really good all season. Don't expect anything else. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES MAX MIKULECKY/KANSAN BATTERED AND BRUISED Red shirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc misses a spike from Alex Muff of Kansas State in Wednesday night's game. The Jayhawks were defeated 3-1 by Kansas State. MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/DK_vball Sara McClinton was the embodiment of the Kansas volleyball team after Wednesday night's game. The freshman outside hitter was battered and bruised to the point that she needed to have three oversized ice packs wrapped onto various parts of her body. But on the heels of a seventh consecutive loss in the Big 12, the banged up McClinton struggled to find answers. 4 "It's similar habits that are transferring from each game," McClinton said. "Until it's fixed, we're going to have similar outcomes. We need to make the changes now while we still have season left." The Jayhawks (12-8, 0-7) lost to rival K-State (15-6, 4-3) at home on Wednesday night, 25-19, 21-25, 20-25, 12-25. "I feel like we let Jayhawk nation down today," coach Ray Bechard said. After out-attacking the Wildcats in the first set at a .371 to .065 clip, the Jayhawks tumbled down the stretch. The Wildcats would finish the game with seven aces and two service errors, while the "Those are we all have complete control over, like shooting a free throw," Bechard said. "They require a bit of concentration, and tonight we weren't where we needed to be." Jayhawks would have only one ace and seven service errors. Bechard said that was the most telling statistic of the evening. The Wildcats stormed past the Jayhawks in the fourth set, notching 15 kills, thanks to 10 assists in the frame by junior setter Caitlyn Donahue. The game ended on an emphatic kill from sophomore middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger, which sent the Wildcat fans at the Bechard said Wednesday's loss could not be pinned on preparation. game into a frenzy. "We had great practices on Monday and Tuesday," Bechard said. "So to not respond in its entirety is disappointing." Despite a game-high 18 digs from sophomore libero Brianne Riley, the balanced Wildcats would out-dig the Jayhawks 61-58. Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield said some of K-State's point-saving digs were demoralizing. "That's really frustrating." Mayfield said. "You have a good hit and somebody comes up with a good dig and it kind of takes a hit to your morale. You think, 'What else do I have to do to score?'" There is a sense of urgency for Bechard and his staff, who said time is running out for his squad to make corrections. "Obviously we still think we've got a quality team, but quality teams need to get quality wins," Bechard said. "And we need to figure it out sooner rather than later." Edited by Jennifer DiDonato WOMEN'S BASKETBALL LAUREN HUNTER Coaches discuss potential rival loss Henrickson said Big 12 realignment could be challenging but motivating KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At the Big 12 women's basketball media day, coaches from around the league sat down behind the microphone and dodged the inevitable conference-reallignment questions. Though the moves were based on football, women's basketball was also affected by the changes. Coaches such as Oklahoma's Sherri Coale stressed the strength of the conference that sent seven of its 12 Coach Bonnie Henrickson watches on as the one-on-one interviews progress at the 2011 Big 12 media day at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. This is Henrickson's eighth season as coach. The Jayhawks look to improve on their 21-13 record of last year. When the conference shrank with the loss of Colorado and Nebraska, the schools changed their schedules to face the 10 remaining schools twice. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said that the change would be exciting but difficult. "If a man wants to divorce me and says for the game." CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN "If a man wants to divorce me and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks to sleep with me, the answer is: no." KIM MULKEY Baylor coach "From a competitive standpoint, it is even more challenging because of the strength that the southern part of the league has and how talented those teams are," Henrickson said. "When you play in a league that has the strength that the women's basketball conference or the Big 12 Conference and women's basketball has, you don't want to see that broken up for any reason," Coale said. "And that's not good teams to the NCAA tournament last season. The Jayhawks feature seven players from Texas and one from Oklahoma. Henrickson said the additions of southern games would be more motivating for those athletes and would be a good opportunity for recruiting. As the conference continues to change, the rivalries that have lasted through the existence of the conference will also be affected. When asked about whether she would continue to schedule Missouri if the school left the conference, she paused and winked. Tensions were highest regarding the decision of Texas A&M to leave the Big 12 for the SEC. The Aggies are the defending national champions and are predicted to "Our rivalry belongs in the Big 12." Henrickson said. finish second in the conference despite the loss of two starters. Baylor coach Kim Mulkey compared the abandoned rivalry with Texas A&M to an ended marriage and admitted that she did not want to continue the competition beyond the conference. "If a man wants to divorce me and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks to sleep with me, the answer is: no," Mulkey said. "We are not going to play them anymore, because they decided that playing us was not important to them." — Edited by Sarah McCabe 4 1 Volume 124 Issue 43 kansan.com Monday, October 24, 2011 OUT DONE BY IN-STATE Team lacks practice, game energy PAGE 12 26 LIFE.

My own personal example? First semester of my freshman year, I qualified to take Spanish 216. Despite taking Spanish for four years in high school, the class was terrifying and extremely difficult for me from day one. However, the class turned out to be a sort of blessing in disguise. I walked out of the final exam with two things: a passing grade (God bless you, credit/no credit) and a boyfriend. Trust me, I didn't endure a semester of brutal homework and awkward I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-saying class presentations just to find myself a boyfriend. Like I said, it happened without me even realizing it. That was almost four years ago and I couldn't be happier. It's cheesy and a bit overdramatic, but I honestly don't think I'd be surviving college without him. He keeps me calm when I'm borderline psychotic with stress and takes care of me when I'm sick. He's also a great listener, even if it's just me ranting about something petty. People often ask me if I consider him "the one" and honestly, despite our strong supportive relationship, a part of me finds it hard to say yes. I'm not concerned with whether or not he's my perfect match. I'm happy, he's happy and that's all that matters to us right now. But knowing if your significant other is "the one" is something a lot of people consider, and there are different ways of telling if we've met our soul mate. For more on how finding "the one" affects our relationships, read Christine's story on page eight. I don't know what it will take for me to know he's "the one," but I'm not worried. Right now, I'm just happy to be with someone who doesn't judge me when I watch questionable movies on our shared Netflix account.

One taboo topic not often discussed, often kept silent and behind closed doors, is intimate partner violence. Producers of shows like "Jersey Shore" and "Bad Girls Club" willingly air violence and barely conscious risky sexual behavior. Yet, when a female is hit by a male, the producers won't air this opposite-sex violence. Instead, the violence is blacked-out and a brief statement is made announcing, "If you or someone you love has been a victim . . . call this hotline." This, in my opinion, is a feeble, contradictory and lame awareness attempt. Victims of intimate partner violence have faces—they have voices. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. Next week, numerous organizations around campus will bring a voice to the issue of intimate partner violence during Domestic Violence (DV) Awareness Week. In 2009, the Kansas Federal Bureau of Investigations reported 23,864 incidents of DV – but these were reported incidents. The number DV deaths: 35. The previous year, we lost a KU student and advocate for women's rights, Jana Mackey. She was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. This issue does not discriminate. DV and sexual assault (SA) can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, race, class or sexual orientation. Intimate partner violence or abuse can be physical and non-physical (control through verbal or mental abuse). Also, contrary to popular belief, it is not easy to escape a controlling or violent relationship. It is crucial for everyone to be aware and give a voice to the victims. If we don't, we will never end the cycle of violence. My work - my passion - is to help others engage in healthy sexuality, mind, body, and spirit. Healthy relationships do not include control and assault. Beating the crap out of someone is not funny or cool. Controlling someone and abusing that person's body or mind is disgusting and cowardly. Please lend your voice in support of the victims and support the movement to end assault and violence.

What was your favorite toy as a child When I walk on campus, I listen to music and people have told me that I have a very distinct walking style. I don't think people would consider it swagger, its more limping awkwardly. I groove when I feel music and that controls how I walk. I have a dictionary of words I like: There are so many. The last couple days I have enjoyed calling people flat-footed. What's a TV show no one would guess you watch? I used to get the vacuum and pretend I was doing space battles. I would be climbing on the couch and have the hose and different pieces. I was a really adorable kid. I don't know what happened. What's your favorite word? I am obsessed with "Glea." I have every song on my iPod. That's what I'm jamming to when I do my awkward walk. Moist. The word just sounds like something that's moist. That name fits that description perfectly. 10 4 20 11 Coach Bonnie Henrickson watches on as the one-on-one interviews progress at the 2011 Big 12 media day at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.

It's not uncommon for Lawrence natives Tim Clark, a junior, and Rayyan Kamal, a senior, to be mistaken for a couple. The pair has even deemed their friendship a "bromance"; they are inseparable. But their friendship wasn't always so strong. The two met in marching band at Free State High School when they were paired together to share the marimba. "I grabbed some mallets and they told me to stand next to this man, Tim, who was very calm and very quiet," Rayyan says. "He didn't say anything. He didn't talk at all. I didn't understand why he was so freaking quiet." As band season continued, the two bonded while playing their shared instrument. Their love for music led to them creating their own band, and their growing friendship instilled a deep appreciation for each other. It was because of Tim's opinions that Rayyan began examining his own spiritual beliefs, and Tim found a sort of teacher figure in Rayyan. "He's got such a positive and humanistic view of everything," Tim says. "If there's anything that's a problem in my life, he tends to have a really good perspective." As close at the duo was, they didn't have plans to attend college together, but they both ended up at the University. Although they aren't roommates, they are constantly hanging out and are grateful for their high school marching band days that introduced them. "A lot of people don't like high school; I thought it was great," Rayyan says. "High school isn't necessarily about the fact that you have a ton of friends or do a ton of things. It's if you have at least one friend that is good enough to get you through. And that's what I had. I had Tim."

MANUAL My crazy class schedule means spending all day on campus and hauling around a ton of stuff. It was difficult to try and keep my things (three notebooks, my computer, computer charger, planner, assorted works by Shakespeare, psych textbook, water bottle and car keys) together without having anything to put them in. This was the most challenging thing I've temporarily given up this semester. Keeping everything together with a backpack is convenient, but can also affect your health if not packed properly, "Your backpack shouldn't weigh more than 15 percent of your body weight and you want to put the heaviest books closest to your body," says Jeff Schroeder, owner of Schroeder Chiropractic. "More weight pulls too much on your spine and can lead to back problems in the future, like headaches and spinal arthritis," he says. Not having my usual throw-it-in-the-bag-and-go routine made me constantly feel like I was forgetting something. After every class, instead of just walking out, I had to stop and check that I had everything. It was weird to only be able to have one hand free. I did notice that my back felt better this week, but I'll be really happy to have my bag back. While packing for campus from now on, I'm going to keep Schroeder's advice in my mind and simplify the amount of things I bring with me, to prevent pain in my future.

GET SOME CULTURE // INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS > It's not all about fast food and beer pong. A mash-up of a live-action radio play and graphic novel set in the 1930s, Intergalactic Nemesis provides an innovative audio-visual experience for its audience. The performance consists of three actors who voice the characters, a foley artist who makes hundreds of sound effects, music and more than 1,200 comic book images projected onto a screen. These elements come together to tell the story of reporter Molly Sloan, her assistant, Timmy Mendez, and a librarian named Ben Wilcott, who face the threat of an approaching invasion of sludge monsters from the planet Zygon. Show creator Jason Neulander says the idea originally started out as a radio play performed in a small coffee shop and then evolved. "We were invited to a larger venue, and it felt too big for a radio format. I had the idea to have big comic book images on the screen that could reach all the way to the audience at the back of the theater," he says. "I created a hybrid of the comic script and the live script. There's more humor and dialog seeing it live than when just reading a comic." The out-of-the-box performance style appeals to all ages. "It's comic, action, theater and music that can appeal to everyone people who normally wouldn't be interested in comics," says Michele Berendsen, marketing director for the Lied Center. The performance will be Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m. There will be pre-performance activities at 6 p.m., starting with an all-ages costume contest that's followed by a discussion on the art of graphic novel illustration. After the show, there will be post-performance coffee and conversation with the performers. Tickets are $21 for adults and $10 for stu dents and youth.

Kevin Tietz, a KU alumnus from Plano, Texas, first saw Maggie Hull, a junior from Lawrence, at a party in the fall of 2009. He knew there was something special about her. "People say when you know, you know," Tietz says. "After watching her dance at the party, I had this thought that she was the kind of person I would want to spend the rest of my life with." On Sept. 29 of this year, Tietz and Hull got engaged. While their relationship has a fairytale beginning, the notions of "love at first sight" and finding "the one" are casually thrown around in sappy movies and romance novels. But how does the pressure that comes with finding you soul mate affect you? Modern culture is to blame for our unrealistic expectations when it comes to love, says Lisa Clampitt, president of a matchmaking company based in New York. She refers to it as "the Hollywood syndrome." "We start searching for the one that we have chemistry with," Alley says. "But chem- can also affect how we handle our relationships. Jack Alley, a Kansas City-based matchmaker, says society has a mentality in which we want it all, we want it now and we want it perfect. the person that they feel is "the one" right away. Dedication to finding the elusive "one" "Everybody has somebody for them,but at the same time many people can fit that role." "Don't use a map of who you believe you should be with where it excludes really good possibilities," Clampitt says. "Hollywood has taught us that suddenly there's one person you're meant to be with, and everything magically comes together." Clampitt says. "But that's not always true." Even though people can find themselves on the quest for "the one," it's possible Relationships take time and effort. While there may be an instantaneous connection, crucial parts of a relationship, like taking time to get to know each other, still can't be skipped. Jessica Bricker a junior from Kansas City, Kan. After adopting the idea that there's "one for everyone," people tend to take a narrow focus on love. They can miss a relationship that has potential because they want to find there's more than one person that each individual can be compatible with. istry doesn't get you very far — compatibility is what makes your heart grow in love with someone." can be "the one" if you allow it, but there are other options, too. "Everybody has somebody for them, but at the same time, many people can fit that role," Bricker says. Jessica Bricker, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., and her husband, Kuran Bricker, a non-traditional sophomore from Overland Park, brought up the idea of getting married on their second date. Both believe that there Sometimes, it's about how much effort each individual is willing to put into a relationship. While the initial feeling of "this is it" may not be present, that doesn't necessarily mean something great can't happen. "If you really want to work at a person being "the one," it can be that person," Alley says. But if someone does find one other person who they think is "the one," how will he or she know for sure? Is it a feeling or is it a conscious knowing? The answer always depends on the individual. "It'll smack you in the face," Tietz says. Or, maybe it's something that is a little harder to put into words. Kuran Bricker says he can't even explain how he knew Jessica was the one for him. He just did.

Photo illustration by Abby Davis Photo illustration by Abby Davis You've got to put in the work... Most of the time, you can't just sit on your butt and wait for that one perfect person to come to you. Similarly, you can't expect that everything will always work out magically once you've found the person you think is "the one." "So many people think once you get married or find the right person, life is great," Maggie Hull, a junior from Lawrence, says. "But it's not about that. It's about the relationship and working through things together." Matchmaker Jack Alley stresses the importance of commitment. While the initial excitement and feeling of finding the person you think is perfect for you is great, it can wear off as time goes on. "Not every day is going to be like a honeymoon," Alley says. "But you know you're compatible and the bottom line is you've made a commitment to make it work." Just because someone may be the perfect person for you doesn't mean there won't be arguments or times of annoyance down the road.

BAKING Satisfying sweet tooth cravings without feeling guilty isn't always easy, especially when baking. Slightly altering a recipe, however, allows you to create a healthier version of your favorite treat. Roxanna Silva, a junior from Olathe, loves to bake. Chocolate chip cookies and blueberry lemon zest muffins are two of Silva's favorite treats to make, but Silva doesn't always follow the recipes exactly. She alters them to make them more nutritious. "If I'm cooking with flour, I'll switch to non-bleached whole wheat or I'll use nonfat cream cheese or skim milk," Silva says. Whenever you take in calories, you want to do so healthily, says Hilary Kass, owner of Ancient Grains Bakery in Lawrence. Reducing sugar and increasing whole grains in a recipe helps cut the calorie count while adding nutritional value. "For most things, you can take the recipe and only use half of the sugar the recipe calls for," Kass says. Using natural sweeteners is another way to increase the nutrients in your baked goods. Honey, guava, maple syrup and molasses all have some nutritional value, Kass says. "Maple syrup naturally has potassium and calcium, but it is more expensive," she says. Cost isn't the only thing to consider when substituting sweeteners; taste is also important. "Black strap molasses has the most nutritional value, but it also has a rather strong flavor. Most people use regular molasses instead," Kass says. You can also use dried fruit instead of candy. "Dates are great because they are really sweet but they also have iron and fiber." Kass says.

GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU // PUMPKIN SEEDS > Sometimes it's hard to tell. Since Cierha Berry was a child, her favorite part of carving pumpkins for Halloween was getting beneath the gooey, stringy orange pulp to pull out the pumpkin seeds, not caring about carving a jack-o-lantern face. After Berry, a senior from Salina, collects the seeds from her pumpkin, her mom dampens the seeds with water, sprinkles on a little salt and then bakes them in the oven. Baking pumpkin seeds with no seasonings is your best option, but if you want a little flavor, use sea salt and pepper sparingly, says Gonzalez-Stuart. Pumpkin seeds are nutritious when cooked a healthy way, says Armando Gonzalez-Stuart, research associate professor in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso. He has researched pumpkin seeds and says the way you cook them is important. If the seeds are fried and salt's added, it takes away the seeds' nutritional properties. When pumpkin seeds are made this way, they have a positive effect on your health. The seeds are a good source of potassium, which helps maintain normal blood pressure, says Mary Meck Higgins, associate professor, department of human nutrition at K-State. Iron is found in pumpkin seeds too, which helps carry oxygen in the red blood cells. They also are an excellent source of magnesium, which strengthens your bones and prevents osteoporosis, and contain vitamin E, which is an antioxidant, so it helps with heart disease and cancer, Higgins says. Limit yourself to one cup of pumpkin seeds a day because they do contain dietary fiber, which can upset your stomach. Verdict: Good for you, if baked and lightly seasoned.

Wright, a senior from Austin, Texas, says he shares two washing machines with 15 other guys in his fraternity house. But, when dirty laundry is washed, it's not necessarily clean afterward. Washing machines are contaminated with fecal bacteria because people wash undergarments with other clothes, says Charles Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona. Gerba has researched the germs that live in our washing machines and says germs are extremely present in laundromats because you don't know what's been put in their machines. "The average pair of underwear has about a tenth of a gram of fecal matter in it," Gerba says. When you wash a load of underwear there are about 100 million E. coli in the water. Bacteria survive in washing machines and on the wet clothes because they're not washed at a hot enough temperature or bleach isn't used. Cold water doesn't kill a lot of the organisms, and a typical permanent press cycle in the dryer doesn't kill them either.

"You probably wear clothes [with more germs] than any generation in the last 50 years because we used hot water only and harsh detergents," Gerba says. To get rid of germs such as E. coli and Hepatitis A virus, it is important to use bleach, which kills 99.9 percent of germs on white clothing, and Clorox 2 for colored clothes, which kills 99 percent of germs. If using a communal washing machine, run a load of underwear first with bleach, Gerba says.

After graduating from the Berklee College of Music in Boston with a jazz degree, he discovered his talent for songwriting. This shaggy-haired, blue-eyed musician has won multiple song-writing contests with his original song lyrics and has already put out three albums. Hawley has toured all over the nation, playing sold-out venues and festivals and has shared the stage with Mark Cohn, Rusted Root, Dave Matthews Band, Shawn Mullins and Edwin McCain. Contributed photo Beautiful Music: Caleb Hawley, a musician and finalist on "American Idol." recently performed in Lawrence. Caleb Hawley performed at The Granada on Monday and he spoke to Jayplay before he came to Lawrence: Q // You said you've been driving today. Where are you headed? A // I drove from Chicago to Indianapolis. It's about four hours so not so bad. Q // Are you traveling with your dog, Fargo? A // I sure am. He is going on tour with me. I've done it once before. Lately I've been traveling with many people but I decided to go old school this time and go solo. Just doing it with Fargo. It's a lot of fun because I get to hang out with him. The best part is if you have a rough show, when you walk out you instantly feel good when you see your dog because dogs don't care. That's a good reason for having him around. Contributed photo Q // What motivates you to make music? A// I've just been doing music forever. My family was musical and I got into it when I was 11 or 12. I guess what motivates me nowadays is just people and the world in general. I have always been a people watcher and I just enjoy commentating on human nature. Kind of like Randy Newman who has been a big inspiration as far as writing goes. Music is all I do so I figure if I want to be more successful I'll just make it my life. Q // What was it like standing in front the judges on American Idol for your first audition? A// The first time it was totally bizarre. I felt like I might as well be standing in front of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Famous people just don't seem real. And there was only one person their attention was on, which was me, so it was totally bizarre. It felt good though because Steven Tyler reacted well right away. Q // Were you nervous performing for them after that? A // I was already used to performing before I was on the show so I didn't really get nervous. The week we were in Vegas, I had to learn a song I had never heard before and I was nervous about remembering the lyrics. I remember thinking, "If I forget the lyrics, I am totally screwed." Q // What song would be the soundtrack to your life? What song would be the sound back to your life? A / It's a cool question, but it's a tough one. There is song called "Feels Like Home" by Randy Newman that I play a lot. It's a great song because it has a feeling about being back home but it is also a great love song. Q// If you could be anyone for the day, who would it be? Q // If you could be anyone for the day, who would it be? A // Hmm I should go with a musician or actor. No screw it; I think I'd be Ellen DeGeneres. She is so incredibly awesome; she is funny and I think I'd like to be a girl because I already know what it's like to be guy. I mean who wouldn't want to be Ellen? That would make me incredibly funny. Q // You are given the day off from any responsibilities. What are you doing? A// I would still be writing music because I find it's hard to find time to do it. Whenever I get a day off, I just try to find time to do some writing and recording. I love doing it. I always feel like I want to be moving forward and working on it. So yeah, writing some songs. Or hanging out in a tree house. Q // What advice do you have for college students who aspire to be musicians? A // My advice is don't go to an expensive music school. Don't even worry about it. I went to music school and I loved it and learned a ton, but it's not like you're a doctor or a lawyer or something. Then you will have loans to pay off. So just find a few really great teachers and get with them because they can teach you a lot without having to pay for a music school. And use them for networking purposes. Networking is everything. It's important to hear other musicians and get inspired by them. Q // Have you ever been to Lawrence? What are you most excited about for your performance in town? A// No, but I've heard of Lawrence for a long time. People have always been telling me that I need to play in Lawrence for the original music scene so I am finally going to make it happen. You guys are known for having great music.

Polyamory is the practice of having multiple committed relationships at a time with the knowledge and consent of all who are involved. She kept an open relationship with her boyfriend of two years while abroad. I had a man for every day of the week when I was in France. While abroad, my only goal was to speak French. Dating someone turned out to be the best way to learn the language because I was always talking to that person. I had that dynamic multiplied by six, plus the long-distance boy back home. There was "Mr. Let's Go Out." He was a Mexican immigrant. We would go out to lunch, to the movies or dancing. I got whatever I wanted when I was with him because he was really wealthy. "Mr. Let's Lurk in Cafés" was Moroccan. He always wanted to go to cafés and have intellectual conversations. He was very suave and philosophical. He would sip on his espresso for an hour and a half, and then he would say "I'm tired of this café. Let's go." Then he would throw back whatever was left in his tiny cup and we would go to another café. Then I dated "Mr. Punk Guy." He had a mohawk, three earrings, an eyebrow piercing and a dragon tattoo that went up his body. We would hang out at the skatepark or go to a bar. He would drink beers with his friends, but he would buy me a fruity non-alcoholic drink. Some days we would just go to his home and eat a jar of Nutella, watch YouTube videos, and listen to Daft Punk. "Mr. Long-distance French Guy" called me every night for five months. He was a hunky French jock who lived an hour outside of Besancon. He was really sweet. I still wear the other half of the heart necklace he gave me. I'm in love with everyone I meet. For me to have to pick just one [type] is like asking me to choose between cheese and chocolate. I love different things about both. Does my love for cheese affect my love for chocolate? No. So I won't choose. Polyamory forces me to communicate honestly with my partners. We talk about our limits. I might not be OK with one of my boyfriends dating my best friend, for example. A lot of my friends told me what I was doing was immoral. The word "whore" was used to describe me. I didn't have sex with any of those guys, not that it would matter. They [my friends] abandoned me for a lifestyle that made sense to me. Vo dreams can come true. now open until 3am.

With students readily taking 21 shots for their 21 years, this risky trend has become normal. Roommates Megan Hardy, a senior from Manhattan, and Brittany Billings, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., relive their birthday night all the time by looking through drunken quotes and pictures in their shot books. Shot books are scrapbooks commemorating each of the 21 shots taken on their birthdays. Pages designed by friends list the shots taken, where, time of night and who bought the shot. Someone carries it throughout the night filling in each space. Their shared birthday celebration started out at Cielito Lindo with margaritas and the first of the anticipated 21 shots, moved to the Hawk/Wheel area and ended at Tonic. At the end of the night, Hardy had taken 17 shots while Billings had surpassed the goal by two with 23 shots. Their strategy was carrying water bottles that they kept full the entire night. Hardy says she remembers that night well and didn't feel that out of control. Billings threw up a few times and wouldn't have remembered the night if she didn't have the shot book. Neither have any regrets. "It was fun," Billing says. "I'd do it again. Hell, I want to do it again for my 22nd birthday." The "21 for 21" ritual has become the norm among college students, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association in 2008. Researchers surveyed 2,500 students at the University of Missouri to see if they drank on their 21st birthdays and if so, how much. Eighty-five percent of the students reported drinking, with 34 percent of men drinking 21 drinks or more, and 24 percent of women drinking 21 drinks or more. Media had already emphasized the risks of 21st birthday extreme drinking, but no studies had been done to show the scary statistics, says Aesoon Park, assistant professor of psychology at Syracuse University and data analyst of the APA study. "This paper shows students had been drinking before, but their drinking reaches dangerous levels when they try to celebrate their 21st birthday." Some of the students surveyed who drank 21 drinks didn't stop there.Men drank a maximum of 50 drinks and women drank a maximum of 30. Having four to five drinks within two hours is considered binge drinking. Park says it was really frightening to see that 20 percent of non-drinkers drank large amounts because it was their 21st birthday. These non-drinkers that decide to drink at extreme levels are at a high risk because of their lack of experience, says Keith Durkin, criminologist at Ohio Northern University who has published several articles on binge drinking. "They have never experienced alcohol before, so they are venturing into uncharted waters," Durkin says. The college drinking scene has not necessarily changed too dramatically since he was a student. He knew people in the 80s who attempted a "21 beers for 21 years" challenge "But [with] beer, it took them several hours to attempt that feat," Durkin says. "What scares me about shots is that they can be downed in a very short time. Twenty-one units of alcohol in a very short time is too much for anyone." With alcohol poisoning as a very serious risk of this rite of passage, it is scary to see this ritual has become commonplace, says the University's Assistant Vice Provost, Kathryn Tuttle. When she was a student at Kansas, students under 21 were permitted to have beer with 3 percent alcohol or less. Students didn't have fake IDs because they were allowed to get into the bars and no one had even heard of pre-drinks or what we now call "pre-gaming." This does not mean the drinking scene was unheard of. At this time, drinking hours were enforced and often women from Tuttle's scholarship hall would have to climb in her window on the first floor after hours, some of which were very intoxicated. Tuttle was never much of a drinker. Tuttle accomplished her personal goal of climbing the highest peak in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on her 21st birthday, something she had wanted to do for a while. "I don't think I even had any alcohol that day," Tuttle says. Tuttle isn't saying you have to climb a mountain on your birthday, but she isn't praising blacked-out blurs that Katy Perry insists rules. "Have fun and be safe," Tuttle says. "Do something that you will remember." OTHER RISKY BIRTHDAY TRADITIONS BIRTHDAY CRAWL What is it: Crawling from bar to bar (because you are too drunk to walk at this point) Why it is risky: Students who do this often drink up to 50 percent more on their birthday If you HAVE to: At least eat something at each place you stop, and don't feel like you have to drink at each place. POWER HOUR What is it: Drinking one shot of beer every 60 seconds for one hour OR drinking as much as you can the hour after you turn 21 Why it is risky: That's 7.5 beers (one shot every 60 seconds for one hour). This is binge drinking in a very short period of time. 13 10 20 1* lacks record accessibility SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com In the last 10 months, there have been four public censures of University of Kansas faculty.

Volume 124 Issue 43 kansan.com Monday, October 24, 2011 OUT DONE BY IN-STATE Team lacks practice, game energy PAGE 12 SPEAK 1 I am so happy to be here! Contributed photo I'm 12 years old and getting ready for school in front of the mirror with my 14-year-old sister. I'm 4 feet 11 inches and I weigh 120 pounds. She is 5 feet 3 inches and weighs no more than 105 pounds. My eyes are glued to our reflections. She is this wafer thin, beautiful, healthy girl. Her clothes cling to her perfectly, hugging her slightly honey body. And then there is me. This disgusting, huge monster. Nothing about me is beautiful. All I can see is ugly. My clothes cling to me too, showing my lumpy body. Fat. The one word I hated and never wanted to believe about myself. I didn't always feel this way. In elementary school I was apathetic about the fact that my body was slightly larger than my friends. But in junior high, I started making a comparison to my older sister that started to distort my perception and our fights would bring words that made me see truth in these negative beliefs. When my sister and I fought, her greatest weapon was "at least I'm not fat like you!" and that was the end of the war. That would drive me to my room so that I could sob into my pillow while my mom lectured her for hurting me. Later I'd get an apology from her, which really never made the truth disappear. My mom tried to comfort me, saying I'd thin out when I got taller. That didn't matter to me. All I saw was fat. I started to undress away from mirrors and I never looked down in the shower. Later I pretended like it didn't bother me. When my sister teased me about my weight, I'd reply "it's not like I'm in denial about that. I am fat. There are no clothes out there for someone like me. I might as well be a cow. You happy?" Those words made her feel bad without my mom having to lecture her. I'd saunter off, pleased that I made her feel bad, choking back tears. I never used to look forward to opening my parents' gifts because my dad would always pick out dresses for us. My sister's would be a perfect fit. More often than not, mine would be returned for DISTORTED PERCEPTION Shaking the self-deprecating lies to see myself as beautiful a larger size after my family stared at me saying that maybe my dress was a bit “snug.” I took that as the polite version of “you are just too fat for that dress, Nadia.” I'd never let on that it affected me. I felt like I was the inferior sister. I was the ugly one. My family doesn't know this, but I cared so much that it destroyed me. When I reached college I was 5 feet and 7 inches tall and slightly overweight. Nothing drastic, but I didn't see myself that way. I saw fat. I heard once that fat people have to be funny otherwise they'd have nothing going for them so I focused on making my friends laugh. I came off as slightly egotistical, constantly joking about my ravishing looks. I put up this humorous barrier, never admitting to anyone that I didn't even have self-esteem, let alone low self-esteem. Even though I was surrounded by good friends in my hall, I was too embarrassed to open up to them about self-image, and worried they would confirm my beliefs. During freshman year, I met this boy, Tim Clark, who was known in his dorm as "Barefoot Tim." He never wore shoes, always climbed trees and, like me, he rarely went to bed early. We started going for walks at 3 a.m. around campus, just talking about everything. Nothing was off limits, from conversations about painful past relationships to losing loved ones. Hanging out with him was therapeutic. I never felt like I had to hold back anything, and this ended up working in my favor. I remember the exact moment Tim made me question my negative self-image. Tim was on a trip to St. Louis and was texting me about the snowy weather his family was driving through. He told me it was beautiful, "almost as beautiful as you" was how he phrased it. It was so simply stated, but it left me confused. I thought maybe he meant the text for someone else. I became angry, thinking that he was screwing with me. I ignored the text and tried to push it far from my mind. I confronted him when he got back. I told him never to use the word "beautiful" with me again. He laughed right in my face and told me I was beautiful. I let it go, hoping it wouldn't happen again. He took that as permission to call me beautiful given any opportunity. I broke down one night over the word beautiful. Whenever I got overwhelmed in my classes I'd rant to Tim about everything that bothered me, including my appearance. I told him I knew I was fat and that he needed to stop lying to me. He fought the word fat with the word beautiful and I lost it, telling him to stop fucking with me, and breaking into sobs similar to when my sister teased me. By then the word beautiful bothered me more than the word fat. That was the first night I had ever told anyone why those words triggered such strong emotions. Tim never stopped commenting on my beauty. It was like he was trying to make up for lost time, fighting every painful word that I had used for myself in the past. He has spent hours with me, on countless nights, listening to my stories of a girl who used to be so broken. I can honestly say that Tim Clark put me back together. Tim never quite understood why I ever used such negative words to describe myself. After a while, neither could I. My negativity didn't just disappear overnight, by any means, but I stopped relying on Tim's reassurance and slowly started letting go of my self-deprecating tendencies. Once I started to notice my own beauty, I started to notice all the people who saw it too. I've learned that looking in the mirror with a positive outlook has changed everything about my self-perception. I am not actively looking for my flaws, and I try to embrace the imperfections. I never thought I'd be able to tolerate my appearance let alone love who I am. The person I used to see is a stranger these days. I know I'm beautiful.

Coach Bill Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty o' playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young. At Loyola in 2009, Young broke freshmen records in total rebounds (224) and rebounds per game (7.2). He's also played for the Puerto Rican under-19 team, so the experience is there.

Venezuela Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he is cancer-free, citing a series of medical exams in Cuba that showed no recurrence of the illness following two months of chemotherapy treatments. The 57-year-old leader announced the test results on live television Thursday after returning from Cuba, saying thorough exams found no sign of any malignant cells in his body. ISLAMABAD, Pakistan "I'm free of illness," Chavez said on state television, wearing military fatigues as he arrived in the southwestern town of La Fria. Chavez underwent surgery in Cuba in June to remove a cancerous tumor from his pelvic region. He has not revealed where the tumor was located nor the type of cancer with which he was diagnosed. V The Obama administration delivered a blunt warning Thursday that the United States will do what it must to go after militants in Pakistan and Afghanistan, whether Pakistan helps or not. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton led an unusually large U.S. delegation for two days of talks with civilian and military leaders who have resisted previous U.S. demands to take a harder tack against militants who attack American soldiers and interests in Afghanistan. "Our message is very clear," Clinton said. "We're going to be fighting, we are going to be talking and we are going to be building ... and they can either be helping or hindering, but we are not going to stop."

Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Igor Konashenkov said in a televised statement that the Su-24 bomber crashed while landing at the Ukrainian air base in the Amur region near the border with China. The jet was flying from its base in Voronezh in western Russia to undergo planned repairs at an aircraft-making plant. There was no damage on the ground. Russia's main investigative agency has opened a probe into the crash, the cause of which wasn't immediately known. Konashenkov said the air force will conduct an inspection of its entire Su-24 fleet following the crash. A Chinese court has rejected an activist's appeal of her nine-month jail term for staging a noisy protest. The Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court on Thursday upheld the conviction of Wang Lihong ior creating a disturbance when she helped lead a protest on behalf of three bloggers accused of slander. A retired businesswoman, Wang became outraged at officials' abuse of power and found an outlet in the Internet, becoming a well-liked figure in China's activist community. Her supporters and rights groups say the charges against her were fabricated to punish her for her wider activism, noting that she alone was charged for a protest many others attended.

In Lawrence there are many low-cost, budget-friendly options for those who are cost-conscious. Lawrence hosts a number of free events that may appeal to students who carefully watch every dollar. The Lawrence Art Center, 940 New Hampshire St., is featuring exhibitions for artists C. Maxx Stevens and Marwin Begaye as well as an exhibit titled "Postcommodity." The Art Center is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. this Friday. If people are willing to spend a little more, there are many activities that cost $10 or less. The Lawrence Arts Center offers its production of HORRORSHOW V: "The Last Call of C'thuulh at the Old Arkham Saloon" which will include a number of short horror plays starting at 8 p.m. The production is $6. Richelle Mechem, front desk assistant at the Lawrence Arts Center, said that though the galleries are free, plays are the Art Center's most visited events and students can get discounted tickets to the productions it hosts. The more faint of heart might incline toward the performance of the National Acrobats of the People's Republic of China at the Lied Center. Tickets are $10 with a student I.D. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. With Halloween approaching, many events cater to those looking for spooks and thrills.

Gadhafi was killed Thursday morning in an attack by rebel forces near his hometown of Sirti. Gadhaft's son and chief of intelligence are also presumed dead. Mauricio Puebla, a freshman from Dallas, said he thinks the Libyan people will be much better off without Gadhafi. "I think it's great," Puebla said. "It's good for the new generation that wants a new government and he didn't want to get out of the government, so I think it's a blessing for them and they're really happy." With the end of the dictatorship, the Libyan government is sure to change. Brent Steele, University associate professor of political science, said the different groups will have to come together to create what is best for Libya. from here on out. They've already some-what been discussing that anyway with this transitional council," Steele said. "I think in the short term, there's still a lot of instability, but in the long term, there's some possibilities that this could be very optimistic."

A video of a middle-aged man loudly proclaiming his support for Kansas at an Occupy demonstration in Denver went viral earlier this week, capturing attention from Yahoo!, the sports site Deadspin and others. Dennis Greenhaw struts around in a blue sweatshirt and khaki shorts, holding a homemade sign that says "KU Basketball #1 Championships." There's also a giant crimson and blue foam finger on his right hand for emphasis. "Bill Self for Federal Reserve Chairman," Greenhaw shouts several times. "Missouri has won no championships of any kind!" While Greenhaw was the star, his son Andy, a 2009 University graduate and former Kansan staff member, helped plan and shoot the video. "We were originally planning to use 'Bill Self for President,' but then, at the last minute, Andy wanted to switch it because of all the anti-Federal Reserve posters the protesters were carrying," Dennis wrote in an e-mail. Dennis originally became a Jayhawk fan during high school in the late 60s and early 70s following Dave Robisch and Bud Stallworth.

But last Saturday, Dennis was not in Lawrence or Independence, where he lives and also works at a local bank. He was in Denver helping Andy move into an apartment.

D.M. SCOTT dmscott@kansan.com With his poll numbers on the rise, presidential hopeful Herman Cain's '9-9-9 Plan' is receiving more and more attention. But does it have much utility for the lifestyle of Kansas students? A CNN poll this week found Herman Cain in front of the Republican race for the 2012 presidential nomination. Of Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP, 34 percent said Cain was the most likeable candidate, according to CNN. "I's ineffective. A flat tax doesn't work," said Kristin Nance, a junior from Topeka in political science. "And, quite frankly, he not really a runner. He's just a poster child, and eventually he will cut off his nose to spite his face and Mitt Romney will become the nominee." Experts agree that the '9-9-9 Plan' along with Cain has little chance of succeeding. The popularity of Cain stems from his bold idea and general dislike for the current tax system. Cain's plan is based on the idea that production generates American prosperity, not government spending. To increase production, Cain wants the government to get off the back of business and allow entrepreneurs to do what they do best: take risks and create jobs, according to his website. Cain wants to simplify the tax code by implementing a 9 percent business flat tax, 9 percent individual flat tax and a 9 percent national sales tax. A "flat tax" is a fixed tax rate on all levels of income with no deductions or exemptions. Hank Booth, interim president of Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, welcomes the discussion of new ideas in 'regards to an overly complex tax system. "Having a simplistic way of look at our taxes is something that is good to have on the table," he said. "Anything we can do to simplify the tax code would be good for the country." Booth does not endorse Cain's plan, because he thinks it would benefit the economy to make students pay an income tax while they are in school preparing for better jobs. Neither does he like the idea of senior citizens paying more through an overhaul to the system. Michael Lynch, associate professor of political science, said from his analysis of the 9-9-9 Plan, on average, people making less money would pay more than they pay under the current tax structure, and higher income earners would pay less. "Ninety percent of the lowest 20 percent of income earners would pay more in taxes. I assume most students fall into that category," he said. He said the plan tries to be neither progressive nor regressive. That is, it tries not to place the tax burden on upper-income earners or lower-income earners. The plan is not a regressive tax because it does not force lower-income earners to pay more than upper-income earners. But since low-income earners would pay more than they pay now, it does have a regressive feel, Lynch said. The regressive feel to the 9-9-9 Plan also comes from the idea that an increase in taxes affects those with less disposable income harder than those with more. An individual with a higher income may pay more in taxes, but they also have more disposable income to spend. On average, people making less would pay more than they pay now under the current tax structure, and people in higher-income brackets would pay less, Lynch said. As liberals point to the rich for not paying enough and conservative point to lower-income earners not paying at all, there is common ground for all to agree on: most people don't like the system, which is why Cain's plan is receiving a lot of attention. "Scrappping the current tax system is a popular idea," he said. While Lynch respects Cain for his bold ideas, his analytical opinion is simple. "It has no chance of passing either the House or the Senate," he said. "There's something in it for everyone to hate." Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, agrees. His assessment of Cain's chances should put to rest any fear students may have to possible cuts in their ramen fund. "It would affect students a lot, given that they have modest incomes and fairly high consumption," he said. "Cain will not be the nominee or become president. He has no foreign policy expertise at all."

Unfortunately, a few years later on Feb. 5, 2010, at the age of three, Gavin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL is a fast-growing cancer of the blood. It primarily attacks the bone marrow, which causes the marrow to die off. It causes problems with producing red and white blood cells. Gavin not only received blood consistently while going through chemotherapy, but also intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). This is a blood product that contains the immunoglobulin antibody, which must be extracted from the plasma of more than 1,000 blood donors to make enough product for one transfusion. "I can't buy Gavin antibodies." Delk said. "I can't buy him red blood cells. They don't sell that in stores. It has to be given by blood donors. Without blood donors, there are a whole lot of people, including my son, who would be in a whole lot of trouble." Jennifer Green, donor recruitment representative for the American Red Cross, said there are benefits for those who choose to donate blood. "Blood comes from only one source and that is from another human," Green said. "There is no substitute for blood. Donating blood is a great way to help others, doesn't cost you any money and takes only a little over an hour of your time." Delk thinks that giving blood is such a minor pain, considering what these patients endure. "I've seen everything Gavin has gone through; needles put into his chest, the veins in his arms, and even in his spine to extract spinal fluid," Dek said. "He's five and has to deal with this stuff all the time. Getting one needle poke in your arm isn't anything in comparison." Thankfully, because of many willing blood donors, Gavin is now in the "maintenance" stage, because doctors can't fully declare that he is cancer-free because he hasn't been in remission long enough. Emily Thompson, a senior from Topeka, is also in the "maintenance" stage, but is considered to be in remission because she's been cancer-free for a long enough time. Thompson was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia in January of 2010, when she was just 20 years old. She said she had an "off the chart" white-blood-cell count and after she was diagnosed, was air lifted to University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., to begin chemotherapy. After chemotherapy treatments and multiple blood transfusions, she now understands how crucial blood donations are for patients. "Before getting sick, I never gave much thought to the enormous amount of blood that is needed for patients suffering from cancer," Thompson said. "If I had not received extra blood, I would not be here today." College students are in their prime to donate blood because they tend to be healthier than older donors and are able to regenerate blood faster. Thompson hopes that students will take time to donate blood, not just at the KU Blood Drive, but whenever the opportunity is presented. "I think it is very important for college kids to see that people our age can also be affected by them giving blood. You can make a difference in someone's life," Thompson said. "I am grateful for people like you for saving my life and so many others." Edited by Mike Lavieri WHAT FEETER CULLED SURPRISE FANS THIS SEASON?

EDITORIAL Never underestimate the power of positive thinking and alcohol. "Bring on more cold weather!" - No one Topeka passing the buck on domestic violence The recent conflict between Shawnee County and Topeka has been an embarrassment for all of Kansas. After Shawne County cut District Attorney Chad Taylor's budget by $350,000, Taylor announced that his office would stop helping prosecute domestic violence cases from Topeka, sending them back to municipal court. Then last week, the Topeka City Council repealed a domestic violence ordinance, eliminating the misdemeanor from the city's codes and automatically sending the cases back to Taylor's office. In both cases, the abdication of responsibility from prosecuting domestic violence cases stemmed from budgetary issues. It would have cost Topeka more than $1 million to handle the cases sent down from county court, and Taylor's office is strapped of funds to begin with but is now solely responsible for handling the cases. Walking the line between being fiscally responsible and protecting citizens is a tricky task for local, state and the federal governments these days. The economy has forced businesses, governments and postsecondary institutions to tighten budgets by streamlining operations, cutting programs and laving off staff. In this case, Topeka city leaders crossed the line when they allowed a battered woman and beleaguered man's justice to be less important than a city budget shortfall. Any government needs to examine which of its laws and ordinances are untouchable. These are rulings that protect citizens from a natural and real threat. Topeka's city council set a dangerous precedent in repealing key protection for women. No matter what the budget situation is, this is a message from the city that it does not recognize domestic violence as a threat. The District Attorney will still prosecute all the cases. As of yesterday, Taylor's office is expected to cut 12 out of its 63 employees to help cover the $350,000 budget gap. To think that it will be able to handle all the domestic violence cases coming out of Topeka on a reddening budget and shortened staff is not realistic. Misdemeanor domestic violence cases can work as a shared responsibility between the county and city. Topeka failed to uphold its duty to protect its citizens by refusing to foot that responsibility. As Kansas enters an era of deep budget cuts with Gov. Sam Brownback's agenda, it's important for municipalities like Topeka and Lawrence to make sure these cuts do not tamper with the protection of their citizens. It's equally important for University of Kansas students to be aware of Lawrence, University and Student $nate policy changes that may strengthen or threaten their safety. Also, while the University makes broad-reaching changes with recommendations from the Huron Consulting Group, the administration must use similar caution to make sure students' and staff's rights to basic protection aren't sacrificed. FASHION Topeka needs to re-sign a new domestic violence ordinance and take responsibility for the protection of its citizens. Budget cuts, if necessary, should have been directed towards initiatives or laws that don't directly affect citizens' safety.

Julia Roberts stole the show at a recent premiere in Los Angeles for her upcoming movie, "Fireflies in the Garden", co-staring Ryan Reynolds, Hayden Panettiere, and Willem Dafoe. Roberts made a dramatic entrance to the premiere in a five-star worthy, all black ensemble. By mixing menswear and feminine inspired articles of clothing, her radiant smile was not the only thing that had cameras flashing A standing ovation is in order for her combination of a Stella McCartney menwear inspired tuxedo jacket that acted as a flawless supporting part to the delicately ruffled Gienchry dress and strappy YSL platforms. Roberts perfected the act of pairing masculine and feminine pieces in order to create an applause worthy outfit. Where an all-black outfit could seem uninteresting, through the use of the right accessories, Roberts was able to capture her audience's attention. The Tom Binns necklace Roberts wore literally stole the spotlight. This Grande Dame Tangled Crystal and Pearl Necklace stood out like a star against her all black outfit. Tom Binns Designs, a newcomer to the sparkling world of jewelry design, was founded by Tom Binns with Viera Newton, who has worked among the likes of Dior, Givenchy, and even HRH Princess Diana. These designers, who received the 2010 Elle Style Awards for Best Jewelry Designer, know how to create wearable works of art. By keeping her other accessories simple, like a plain black satin clutch, Roberts allowed the necklace to sparkle and shine like a true star.

I'll go with forward Kevin Young, the transfer from Loyola Marymount. Coach Bill Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty of playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young. At Loyola in 2009, Young broke freshmen records in total rebounds (224) and rebounds per game (7.2). He's also played for the Puerto Rican under-19 team, so the experience is there.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN KIM MULKEY Baylor coach teams to the NCAA tournament last season. "When you play in a league that has the strength that the women's basketball conference or the Big 12 Conference and women's basketball has, you don't want to see that broken up for any reason," Coale said. "And that's not good petitive stamp point, it is even more challenging because of the strength that the southern part of the league has and how talented those teams are," Hendrickson said. The Jayhawks feature seven players from Texas and one from Oklahoma. Henrickson said the additions of southern games would be more motivating for those athletes and would be a good opportunity for recruiting. As the conference continues to change, the rivalries that have lasted through the existence of the conference will also be affected. When asked about whether she would continue to schedule Missouri if the school left the conference, she paused and winked. "Our rivalry belongs in the Big 12." Henrickson said. Tensions were highest regarding the decision of Texas A&M to leave the Big 12 for the SEC. The Aggies are the defending national champions and are predicted to finish second in the conference despite the loss of two starters. 1 Baylor coach Kim Mulkey compared the abandoned rivalry with Texas A&M to an ended marriage and admitted that she did not want to continue the competition beyond the conference.

FOOTBALL Kansas to face sixth no-loss team @ WASHINGTON 91 CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Amid all of the question marks and criticisms from Kansas fans and local media surrounding the Kansas football team this season, there is one aspect of the Jayhawks' season that no one can question: their schedule. Heading into their game against an undefeated No. 12 Kansas State team, the Jayhawks have yet to play a game against an opponent with a loss in its schedule. After Saturday's game, the combined record of Kansas' opponents, at the time they played the Jayhawks, will read 21-0. Playing a competitive team every week of the season is no light task and freshman Collin Garrett has seen that first hand. "I definitely think we have one of the toughest schedules in the nation," Garrett said. "After playing all of those great teams, back-to-back, you have to come ready every week." And he's right. The layhawks currently have the toughest schedule in the nation according to their opponents total win percentage so far this season. Currently sitting at 20-5, Kansas' FBS opponents have played at a winning percentage of 80 percent. opposition for Kansas have currently won just over 70 percent of their games, with the next highest in the nation coming in at 66 percent. Kansas coach Turner Gill said he is aware of their opponents record when the Jayhawks have played them, but that doesn't mean he was making excuses. It won't get much better for the Jayhawk either. The past and future "That's the way it goes, but we have to go out and play." Gill said. "We have a great conference, and I think that's what it speaks toward." On the other side of things sit the undefeated Wildcats, who have played and beaten a number of big names in Miami, Missouri, Baylor and Texas Tech. But, the total record of teams Kansas State has played thus far is 11-11. Winning all but one of their games by seven points or fewer, the Wildcats have been able to scrap by, winning their games by forcing turnovers and running the ball. Without an elite running back, the Wildcats have been able to maintain their success on the ground because of their junior quarterback Collin Klein. Leading Kansas State in rushing attempts and yards, Klein has made it possible for the Wildcats to win in a slow down, physical way. Klein's 10 rushing touchdowns this year have helped made up for an offense that has otherwise struggled. ranking as the 94th best offense in the country. His dominance running the ball has given the layhawks' defense a simple task to stop the Kansas State offense. "You've got to stop the run first. That's what they do." Gill said. It's a task that's much easier said than done. But the Jayhawks have faced a difficult challenge just about every game this season, so a tough game is nothing new to them. While the Jayhawks wouldn't choose to have the toughest schedule in the nation, it's not something they've backed down from either. In fact, senior tight end Tim Biere said the opposite. "I want to go out and say that my senior year, we beat them," Biere said. "That'd be awesome to have for the rest of my life." Edited by Lindsey Deiter COMMENTARY Kansas needs to reverse recent trend of Wildcat wins To say that Kansas State has had Kansas' number of late would be a huge understate- No. the number the Wildcats have is more like the Jayhawks' Social Security. And after the last few years of Wildcat dominance, it's hard not to wonder if the athletics program in Manhattan has stolen Kansas' identity. On the heels of a shellacking in volleyball and on the eve of a likely shellacking in football, folks around Lawrence are getting impatient for some kind of tangible victory over the Wildcats. Whether the battles are being contested in revenue or non-revenue sports, the dynamic between Kansas and its perceived little brother K-State just hasn't been the same since embattled athletics director Lew Perkins exited into the night. Last season, the Wildcats were 13-1 in head-to-head matchups with the Jayhawks. The lone victory for Kansas came in the spirited 90-66 men's basketball win in Lawrence that took place only days after the funeral for Thomas Robinson's mother. Other than that game, it's been hard to find heart across the board in any of the Sunflower Showdows contests. The K-State basketball team By Matt Galloway mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com @themattgalloway avenged its loss on Valentine's Day in Manhattan, waxing Kansas on a national stage 84-68. Need more signs of Jayhawk futility against the Wildcats? How about the humilating 59-7 loss in football? There is also the three-game sweep in baseball that officially eliminated the Jayhawks from postseason contention last year. And most recently, the volleyball team dropped a four-set game at home to the Wildcats on Wednesday, losing the fourth set 25-12. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when the tide turned in this rivalry. Was it when the Kansas athletics department was forced to focus more on in-house scandals than on-field production? Was it when the K-State athletics department ritualistically sacrificed Ron Prince to resurrect the retired Bill Snuder? Whatever the cause, one thing is certain: losing to K-State just feels worse than falling to Missouri. The Jayhawks have the high-profile Border War against the Tigers annually at Arrowhead Stadium. The Wildcats have the laughable non-rivalry, dubbed "Farmageddon," with Iowa State in the same complex. The Jayhawks still have the more nationally recognized athletics program, but if recent trends continue, that will not last. But an improbable win against the BCS's No. 11 Wildcats on Saturday would go a long way toward extending it.

BY THE NUMBERS The number of times Kansas and Kansas State will have played each other after Saturday's game. the number of wins Kansas has against Kansas State 109 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2011 65 AT A GLANCE Kansas is riding the energy from an improved effort in its 47-17 loss to Oklahoma. The Jayhawks were trailing 27-17 at halftime against the Sooners, as the defense showed progress for the first time in Big 12 play, stopping Oklahoma on multiple occasions. No. 12 Kansas State provides a different challenge for Kansas, in that it reiles on its rushing attack rather than a high-powered air attack like Kansas' past three opponents. PLAYER TO WATCH YEAR 2006 Senior linebacker Steven Johnson: recorded a team high 13 tackles against Oklahoma and was the leader of the re-energized Kansas defense. With Kansas State bringing in the 25th best rushing attack in the country. Johnson and the Jayhawks defense have an opportunity to prove that the defense is improving. Johnson will have to be an energizing leader once again in his last game against the Wildcats.

Deshears has totaled 779 yards SPECIAL TEAMS RABADEEN AYASLAM on kickoff returns this year, including a 155-yard performance against the Sooners. Kansas State brings in the 11th best kickoff return game in the country, so the Jayhawks' kick coverage will be key in Saturday's game. Beshears FOOTBALL GAMED PREVI Turner Gill's had a bit of the heightened fan pressure taken off after the team's improved performance against Oklahoma. But the media has questioned his offensive coordinator, Chuck Long, after his offense COACHING A. E. W. Gill PETER MILLER Long produced a scoreless second half, in which it totaled only six yards. The Kansas State game will give Gill an opportunity to reassure fans that he is taking the program in the right direction. MOMENTUM MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Is finally back on the Jayhawks side after they competed with a 7-0 Oklahoma team. They know Kansas State is a must win game to get their season turned around and their increased momentum from the first half of the Oklahoma game will carry over and potentially go a long way in helping defeat the Wildcats. SOONERS 82 24 C QUESTION MARKS How will the offensive line hold up if Hatch can't go 7 BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... With senior center Jeremiah Hatch listen as questionable for Saturday's game, the offensive line could be facing some diadems. Gill said if Hatch is forced to sit, junior guard Trevor Marrongelli will shift to center, senior tackle Jeff Spikes will move to guard and sophomore lineman Riley Spencer will start at guard. --- The defense plays like it did against Oklahoma and the offense plays to its season averages. If Webb and the offense can manage to score 32 points, it could be just enough for the Jayhawks to take down the Wildcats. KANNA 1/2 WHAT PLAYER COULD SURPRISE FANS THIS SEASON? I'll go with forward Kevin Young, the transfer from Loyola Marymount. Coach Billy Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty of playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young. At Loyola in 2009, Young broke freshmen records in total rebounds (224) and rebounds per game (7.2). He's also played for the Puerto Rican under-19 team, so the experience is there.

The Wildcat defense stymies the Jayhawk offense. This is a strength vs. strength match-up and if the Jayhawks can't win this battle, they will have a hard time getting their third victory of the season. COACHING Snyder Coach Bill Snyder is in his second go around with the Wildcats. In his first tenure, Snyder orchestrated what has become PETER PATRICK known as the greatest turn around in college football history, taking a team considered one of the worst in the nation to having a winning season in his third year. Snyder has led the Wildcats to four division titles and one Big 12 conference title. MOMENTUM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2011 Last season the Wildcats came into Memorial Stadium and walloped the Jayhawks 59-7. This year's team comes into the game ranked 12th in the nation and looking to deliver an even sharper blow to its rivals who are on a four-game skid. AT A GLANCE The Kansas State Wildcats are 6-0 for the first time since the 2000 season. The difference between the 2000 team and the 2011 team is that the 2000 team started the season ranked in the top 10, while this year's version still hovers outside it. The Wildcats know how to win on the road, earning victories in Miami and Lubbock, Texas this season. PLAYER TO WATCH Linebacker Arthur Brown. The former stand out recruit from Wichita is in his first season on the field for the Wildcats after transferring from the University of Miami. Brown PAGE 11 has been the leader for the stout Wildcat defense. He has 45 tackles on the season and his interception against Baylor set up the game winning field goal. Brown SPECIAL TEAMS The Wildcats can score teams. They proved it last week when receiver Tyler Locket took a kickoff 100 for yards at a touchdown. Kicker Anthony Cantele has made 8-12 goal goal attempts on the year, but is only 1-3 from 40 yards or longer. Locket PHOTO 1 Cantele Can the Wildco QUESTION MARKS Can the Wildcats get going on offense? 2 Kansas State's offensive statistics have been less than impressive, but despite being outgained by 241 yards against Texas Tech, it still emerged with the victory. Still, the Jayhawk defense showed signs of improvement last week, and if the Wildcats can't put up numbers against the team ranked last in total defense, it could be a sign of even greater struggles down the road. STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE KANSAS STATE 6-0 The Wildcat offense has been less than exciting this season, ranking 94th in total offense. The Wildcat offense is set up to hold onto the ball and run down the clock, limiting their opponent's possessions.

Robinson forwent the NBA draft to spend another year at Kansas under the tutelage of assistant coach Danny Manning. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN FILE PHOT KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com The jump in production Thomas Robinson saw from his freshman to sophomore years shouldn't surprise many Kansas fans. Last season, as a sophomore, his rebounds per game doubled (6.4) compared with his freshman season, and his points per game tripped (7.6). But with the sometimes spectacular plays he made in spot minutes as a freshman — a year he played behind future NBA players Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins — fans expected great things from Robinson last year. He delivered, and by season's end his name could be found on almost every NBA mock draft. The only question was where. He said he heard everything from tomtery pick (first 14 selections) to later in the first round, to even the second round. That uncertainty made him think twice. "That's not good to not know," Robinson said. "You don't want to go by 'he said, she said' when it's your life on the line." He thinks he would have been taken fairly high in last year's draft had he entered his name, but the pros outweighed the cons. While players leaving college a year or two early has been the norm, Robinson said he knew that entering the NBA unprepared wouldn't help "I would be lying if I said I didn't think about my childhood memory," he said. "You grow up all these years wanting to play in the NBA, but it's different when it's put in front of you." him in the long run. Another year working with assistant coach Danny Manning would, though. Manning has worked with NBA big men Darrell Arthur, Darnell jackson, Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins since becoming a full-time assistant in 2007. "I wake up in the morning and I know I have to get better. I have no choice.I have to do this for my family." Robinson will soon be added to that list, but another year of work will come first. Now that Robinson is a junior, Manning is showing him more than what he would have a few years ago. "That was one of my main reasons for coming back to school, was to spend more time with Danny," Robinson said. "He likes to teach as your game is expanding, so there's a lot more stuff he's teaching me now that he wouldn't have taught me as a freshman." THOMAS ROBINSON junior forward Leaving for the NBA last season would have been understandable. As most fans know by now, Robinson's mother passed away suddenly last season, leaving him and his 9-year-old sister, Jayla, basically alone. Another season under Manning will help Robinson produce even better numbers, and motivation won't be a problem. Robinson said taking care of his sister is not a burden to deal with, but just something he knows he has to do. "I wake up in the morning and I know I have to get better," Robinson said. "I have no choice. I have to do this for my family."

For Kansas women's basketball players it's a break from the already rigorous practice schedule. A couple of years ago the NCAA made a rule that players can begin practicing with their coaches 40 days before their first game as long as they get 10 days off during that time period. This leads to some irregularities in timing at the beginning of the year, but now as the team moves into its normal schedule it's are more prepared for their upcoming games. "It's good because consistency for the players is important," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We've been able to challenge them and get after them and they've responded." The players spent a short period of time with the coaches over the summer when they traveled to Italy with the coaching staff in August.

One of the other players focused on stressing defense in practice is junior guard Angel Goodrich. Early in the season Goodrich said she's had a chance to work one-on-one with freshman guards Asia Boyd, Donielle Breaux, and "I get to see what they're struggling with and what they can improve on," Goodrich said.

They are scheduled to play Emporia State on Monday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m. for their first exhibition game. BASKETBALL Coaches, players and peers impressed with Davis skills Junior forward Carolyn Davis is considered one of the best post players in the conference and by some, one of the best in the country. This summer, she had an opportunity to test her skills against 10 Davis players across the nation for a spot on the World University Games team. Though she did not make the final cut, Davis impressed other athletes during tryouts. Sophomore guard Odyssey Sims of Baylor spoke highly of Davies at Big 12 Women's Basketball Media Day in Kansas City, Ms., on Wednesday. "It was good to see that our conference is bringing in so many great players," Davis said. "To actually be out there and play with them, it makes you kind of a little more comfortable I guess." "She works hard. She is a great player." Sims said. "There is nothing I would take from her game. She wants to get better." Sims, who was named the National Freshman of the Year, was the only player from the Big 12 Conference to make the team of the five who went through trials. Davis said the familiarity was beneficial as she recognizes the other players more. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she believes that her duo in Davis and junior guard Angel Goodrich is one of the most talented two sisters she has coached. She said Davis is one of the best post players in the nation with Goodrich's help. — Kathleen Gier "I know they are great players because I see them play so much, and to all be in that experience together was really great," Davis said. .K 3 OUT VING awrence university percent in off-number EAT.

As entertaining as the first half of the season was, the remainder of the season promises to have college football fans on the edge of their seats. This is what I expect to see going forward in the 2011 college football season. GAMES TO WATCH: NO. 1 LSU AT NO. 2 ALABAMA Ever since the BCS system was enacted, the public outcry for a playoff system in college football has increased every year. Even though a college football playoff is unlikely in the near future, these two teams are almost de facto semifinal games. The Southeastern Conference has claimed the last five BCS titles, so it is safe to say that the winner of the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta will have a spot in the title game. Within the SEC West, Alabama and LSU have been the two dominant teams thus far. Bama's rushing attack, led by Trent Richardson, has been a lethal force, while LSU's defense, led by cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, has singlehandedly led the Tigers through the nation's toughest schedule. The winner of this heavyweight showdown on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., will be in the title game driver's seat. I think the Tigers ultimately get the huge victory on the road. NO. 3 OKLAHOMA AT NO. 4 OKLAHOMA STATE Now that Nebraska and Colorado are no longer part of the Big 12, the conference no longer has a title game (old news, I know). However, the annual Bedlam rivalry game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State is going to be as close as the conference can get to a title game. The Dec. 3 matchup in Stillwater, Okla., promises to have all the stakes of a title game, as the winner will certainly find itself a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. Oklahoma's defense will have to stop the electrifying duo of quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon. When it's all said and done, "Boomer Sooner" will be all over Bourbon Street; Oklahoma wins in Stillwater. HEISMAN TROPHY: ANDREW LUCK, STANFORD Luck took a huge chance by returning to Stanford as a senior as we have seen many highly touted prospects hurt their draft stock by returning to school. Through half a season, Luck still remains as the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. In addition to leading an undefeated Stanford Cardinal team, Luck has put up an impressive 1,719 yards and 18 touchdowns this season. I expect Andrew Luck to receive the famed Heisman Trophy when his name gets called in New York this winter. Kansas played admirably against the Sooners, but I just don't see the Jayhawk winning another game this season. But hey, it still beats Sports Illustrated's 1-11 preseason prediction. KANSAS' RECORD: 2-10 Edited by Sarah Champ Edited by Jonathan Shorman WHAT PLAYER COULD SURPRISE FANS THIS SEASON? Coach Bonnie Henrickson watches on as the one-on-one interviews progress at the 2011 Big 12 media day at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. This is Henrickson's eighth season as coach. The Jayhawks look to improve on their 21-13 record of last year. I'll go with forward Kevin Young, the transfer from Loyola Marymount. Coach Bill Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty of playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young. At Loyola in 2009, Young broke fresh records in total rebounds (224) and rebounds per game (7.2). He's also played for the Puerto Rican under-19 team, so the experience is there. the moves were based on football, women's basketball was also affected by the changes. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN Coaches such as Oklahoma's Sherri Coale stressed the strength of the conference that sent seven of its 12 "If a man wants to divorce me and says f "If a man wants to divorce me and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks to sleep with me, the answer is: no." KIM MULKEY Baylor coach teams to the NCAA tournament last season. "When you play in a league that has the strength that the women's basketball conference or the Big 12 Conference and women's basketball has, you don't want to see that broken up for any reason." Coale said. "And that's not good petitive standpoint, it is even more challenging because of the strength that the southern part of the league has and how talented those teams are," Harrisckon said. The Jayhawks feature seven players from Texas and one from Oklahoma. Henrickson said the additions of southern games would be more motivating for those athletes and would be a good opportunity for recruiting. As the conference continues to change, the rivalries that have lasted through the existence of the conference will also be affected. When asked about whether she would continue to schedule Missouri if the school left the conference, she paused and winked. "Our rivalry belongs in the Big 12," Henrickson said. Tensions were highest regarding the decision of Texas A&M to leave the Big 12 for the SEC. The Aggies are the defending national champions and are predicted to finish second in the conference despite the loss of two starters. 4 Baylor coach Kim Mulkay compared the abandoned rivalry with Texas A&M to an ended marriage and admitted that she did not want to continue the competition beyond the conference. "If a man wants to divorce me and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks to sleep with me, the answer is: no," Mulkey said. "We are not going to play them anymore, because they decided that playing us was not important to them."

She switched from number one to number 11. "I finally decided to finish with the number I wanted," Sutherland said. "It was my number in high school, it was my father's number, 11 was always the number I wanted to play with." Junior guard Angel Goodrich played with a number three on her jersey until she came to college. When she joined the team, the number was taken, so, instead, she chose 23. But this year she returned to the number she identifies herself with: three. "It grew on me. It's been a part of me. To be honest I felt lost without it." Goodrich said. It was this feeling of identity that fueled a number change for Freshman forward Bunny Williams proudly dons the number five on her jersey. She wears it in memory of a close friend who died in high school. six players on the Kansas women's basketball team. Sophomore guard Keena Mays wore the number five last season. When she arrived at Kansas she offered the number to Williams. Williams' move gave Mays the option to pick another number. She turned to junior guard Angel Goodrich for her number 23 jersey. Mays decided to return to her number from high school, the number of her favorite player Michael Jordan. "He just is my favorite player, greatest of all time," Mays said. The 5-foot-7 guard joked that the jersey would give her new power on the court. "I am going to dunk from the free throw line this year," Mays said. "Yeah, I can't dunk. I wish I could though." Freshman guard Natalie Knight came in and chose the number 42 which sent sophomore guard CeCe Harper to 24 in a move that returned them both to their high school numbers.

With the Cardinals on the verge of winning the first two games, Motte allowed consecutive singles to open the ninth inning, and sacrifice flies by Josh Hamilton and Michael Young lifted the Texas Rangers to a 2-1 victory Thursday night. In a virtual repeat of the opener, pinch-hitter Allen Craig put the Cardinals ahead with a seventh-inning single off Alexi Ogando. After five pitchers combined for three innings of scoreless, one-hit relief to finish off a 3-2 Cardinals win in Game 1, Motte quickly got into trouble. Ian Kinstler blooped a leadoff single to left in the ninth, just the fourth hit for the Rangers, and then stole second. Elvis Andrus singled to center, with Kinstler holding at third, and Andrus advanced when Jon Jay's throw deflected off the glove of cutoff man Albert Pujols. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa brought in lefty Arthur Rhodes to face Hamilton, who is hitless in 16 consecutive World Series at-bats dating to Game 3 against San Francisco last year. But the reigning AL MVP drove home Kinsler with a fly to right. Lance Lynn relieved, and Young hit a fly to center that scored Andrus. Motte took the loss, and Mike Adams got the win with a scoreless eighth. Nefiatal Feliz pitched the ninth for the save, walking Yadier Molina before striking out Nick Punto and Scott Schumaker. Rafael Furcal fled out to end it. When the Series shifts to Texas on Saturday night, Matt Harrison starts Game 3 for the Rangers against Kyle Lohse. Derek Holland goes for Texas in Game 4 on Sunday and Edwin Jackson for the Cardinals. Texas, seeking the first Series title in franchise history, has not lost consecutive games since Aug. 23-25 at Boston and avoided a repeat of last year, when the Rangers went to San Francisco and were beaten by the Giants 11-7 and 9-0 in the first two games. The Giants went on to win the Series in five games. Associated Press WHAT PLEATER COULD SURPRISE FANS THIS SEASON? --- I'll go with forward Kevin Young, the transfer from Loyola Marymount. Coach Bill Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty of playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young.

Payne won the event. Kansas begins its season at Arizona on Oct. 8. SARA KRUGER skruger@kansan.com CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN The swimming and diving team travels north this weekend in search of its first victory of the season. Friday the team will be in Minneapolis swimming against the top-ten ranked Golden Gophers, and Saturday the team will travel to Cedar Falls where it will compete against Northern Iowa and North Dakota in its first double-dual meet of the season. Coach Clark Campbell said concentrated weekends of swimming are something the team does each semester to prepare for championship meets. "Getting this opportunity to race two days in a row really helps simulate the Missouri Invite in the fall and then the Big 12 and NCAA Championships in the spring," he said. Coming off a loss in its first meet at Arizona, the team is more prepared for the meet against Minnesota, senior captain Stephanie Payne said, because of the improvements made in each competition. "Swimming against top-ranked teams in the beginning of the year will help us up for the rest of the season," Paane said. In Arizona, Payne finished first in the 200 IM, and juniors Brooke Brull and Vanessa Hanbury, in a combined four meets, were the fastest Jayhawk swimmers. "Stephanie, Brooke and Deanna [Marks] have all been doing a wonderful job from the get go, so we need to keep them heading down that road," Campbell said. The Jayhawks did not swim against Minnesota last season, but but the Golden Gophers defeated Michigan 200-150 and Iowa State 199-100 in their first two dual-meets of this season, making them 2-0. "Last year they had two national champions," Campbell said. "so they are very strong, especially in breast-stroke, middle distance and distance freestyle, as well as diving." Minnesota has four strong freestyle swimmers returning and two senior assets in the individual medley. Their freshmen, however, won seven of the team's 13 event victories against the Cyclones. Kansas defeated both of this Saturday's opponents, Northern Iowa and North Dakota, last season but Campbell said it is very important that the athletes are ready to compete at a high level on Saturday. "Northern Iowa and North Dakota are going to both bring their 'A game'," Campbell said. Campbell said. Northern Iowa is a young team with more than 80 percent underclassman. Kansas is familiar with UNI because many of its swimmers are from Kansas and Missouri, said Campbell. But as North Dakota recently moved to Division I, it is more of a wildcard team. North Dakota defeated in-state rival South Dakota last weekend and is 1-0 for the season. With more swimming and less dryland workouts, Payne said the team will continue to improve the more they are in the water. "The girls have been diving great and I hope it carries over when we travel," said diving coach Eric Elliott. "We are also working on some new dives and look forward to getting in some good training while we are there." Edited by Lindsey Deiter SOCCER Strong season finish starts with revenge on Mizzou RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Regardless of the sport, the athletes of Kansas find a way to dislike their adversaries from Missouri. HANNAH WISE/KANSAN The soccer team still remembers the 4-1 loss to the Tigers in 2010 as a physical and frustrating contest. That memory had them focus all week as they prepared for today's return trip to Columbia, Mo. victory over Texas Tech last Friday. 1970 "They're very competitive," Francis said about Missouri. They're going to challenge every second ball. They always play that way. They press you in the formation that they play." "Playing them last year, we have a lot to prove to them and hopefully they're not underestimating us, but I think that we can really come and say something with this game," said sophomore midfielder Caroline Kastor. An additional factor for the jay-hawks will be how the defense holds up against top-quality opponents, something that they have improved on from earlier in the year. In order for Kansas to come out with a win, coach Mark Francis said the team must exploit Missouri's 3-4-3 formation whenever possible. The team also understands it might not create the same amount of chances against Missouri as it did in its 3-1 Defensive Player of the Week accolades after making eight saves against Texas Tech. On Tuesday, Stroud earned Big 12 "We've made so much progress from the Florida and OSU game," said sophomore defender Madi Hillis. "I feel like we've improved so much. I think if we come out there and play physical and play hard we'll get a really good win." "Sometimes in those situations, you get an opportunity," Francis said. "It's just whether or not you take advantage of it, and I think Stroud's definitely taken advantage of it." The emergence of freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud also continues to be beneficial in recent weeks. Stroud saw an opening for more playing time after her fellow goalkeeper junior Kat Liebetrau suffered some injuries. The Jayhawks also know they are in a decent position to make the NCAA tournament according to their No.29 RPI, which measures the strength of a team's schedule and how the team does against those opponents. Winning out the rest of their conference schedule will also ensure the Jayhawks' place in the field. Sophomore forward Caroline Kastor tries to keep the ball in bounds. Kastor saw substaintial minutes against Baylor. Kansas anticipates another physical contest with Missouri. It's fair to say that yellow or even red cards may come out of the referees' pockets in this game. "I told the girls yesterday at practice all of that doesn't really mear jack if we don't finish the season out," Francis said. "It's Kansas-Missouri. You know it's going to be intense.

PAGE 18 CONFERENCE Missouri tight lipped about realignment FRIDAY.OCTOBER 21.2011 The University of Missouri's governing board opened a two-day meeting Thursday amid speculation that the university is close to leaving the Big 12 conference for the SEC. Conference affiliation wasn't listed on the agenda, which includes closed sessions Thursday and Friday. University spokeswoman Jennifer Hollingshead said the curators do not plan to discuss the topic until at least Friday. Steve Owens, acting president of the four-campus Missouri system, declined to comment about the curators' possible discussions, and board Chairman Warren Erdman added: "I'm not going to talk about that." An internal university document obtained recently by The Associated Press showed Missouri hopes to gain as much as $12 million annually in additional television and cable revenue in the SEC if other factors fall into place. But the school could also face a hefty exit fee from the B12. The SEC has not commented publicly on Missouri's interest. Adding a team would require approval by each member, which currently stands at 12 schools. The Big 12 wants to keep Missouri. and earlier this month endorsed a plan to potential stray members in the fold. It would require schools to give up their most lucrative TV rights to the league for six years in return for equal sharing of the revenue. The plan would give each school an estimated $20 million in June. The figure is expected to grow by 2013 when the league's new 13-year contract with Fox Sports kicks in and the Big 12's television contract with ABC/ESPN expires in 2016 and could bring in additional money when renegotiated. The SEC, by contrast, distributed $18.3 million in revenue to each of its 12 members this year. But that league can also expect more lucrative contracts when the next round of TV rights negotiations occur. A Missouri departure could threaten the school's long-standing rivalry with neighboring Kansas — one of the oldest in college sports.

SATURDAY, OCT. 22 TEXAS TECH @ (3) OKLAHOMA ATM (17) TEXAS A&M PLAYER TO WATCH Statistically these teams' offenses are putting up similar numbers, but the results they've gotten have been different. Texas Tech has dropped its last two games since opening the season 4-0, while Oklahoma has cruised to 6-0 while defeating two top 25 teams on the road or at a neutral site. The difference for Oklahoma has been its defense, which is allowing only 15.8 points per game. Alexander Oklahoma defensive end Frank Alexander is fifth in the nation with 6.5 sacks on the year. If he can get pressure on Red Raider quarterback Seth Doege, it could force the Texas Tech offense to fall apart, and give Oklahoma a very comfortable lead. ATM (17) TEXAS A&M @ I STATE IOWA STATE @ 2:30 P.M. SATURDAY.OCT. 22 Texas A&M is back on the upswing after back-to-back victories over Texas Tech and Baylor. Its opponent, Iowa State, is trying to end its three game losing streak which has brought its record back to 500. A win for Iowa State would reinvigorate the Cyclone fan base and their hopes of becoming bowl eligible. STATE IOWA STATE Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill should have a field day against the Cyclone secondary. He might not match the six touchdown passes he threw against Baylor last week, but he has a good chance at coming close. PLAYER TO WATCH FREDERICK G. Tannehill 8 STATE (6) OKLAHOMA STATE OKLAHOMA STATE (6) OKLAHOMA STATE MISSOURI @ MISSOURI 11 A.M. SATURDAY. OCT. 22 The Cowboy's second ranked passing offense looks to rebound after throwing for just 218 yards against Texas last week. They face the 500 Missouri Tigers who are coming off their first conference win of the season against Iowa State. Missouri's defense will have the tough task of containing the talented Cowboy passing connection of Brandon Weeden to Justin Blackmon. A win by Cowboy would be a major blow for the Cowboys BCS title hopes. PLAYER TO WATCH Oklahoma State Quarterback Brandon Weeden needs to put up a better offensive performance than last week if his team wants to move up in the BCS rankings. He is the unquestioned leader of the Cowboys and it is on his shoulders to prevent the upset. PETER HARTMAN Weeden WHAT FEVER COULD SURPRISE FANS THIS SEASON? I'll go with forward Kevin Young, the transfer from Loyola Marymount. Coach Bill Self said Young has a chance to be a starter, and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove himself this season. With forward Jamari Traylor ineligible, Young looks to be the third scholarship forward on the roster, garnering him plenty of playing time. Thomas Robinson will be consistent, somewhere around 12 points and eight rebounds a game. The rest of the production down low will have to come from Jeff Withey and Young. At Loyola in 2009, Young broke freshmen records in total rebounds (224) and rebounds per game (7.2). He's also played for the Puerto Rican under-19 team, so the experience is there.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, No. 4 Oklahoma State will not allow them to do the same. Senior quarterback for the Cowboys Brandon Weeden and junior receiver Justin Blackmon will simply be too much for Missouri to handle. 41-31, Oklahoma State Playing in Columbia will help Missouri in this one, but the talent advantage clearly ties with Omaha state him. Gina Finkel hasn't been known to pull too many rabbits out of the hat, either, and quarterback James Franklin is still a freshman. Cowboys by 10, 41-31. 45-24, Oklahoma State The Missouri defense is not tough enough to keep the Cowboys' high-flying offense in check. Expect Brandon Weeden and company to rebound from a lackluster performance against Texas by putting up big numbers. 48-21, Oklahoma State Saturday, Oct. 22 2:30 p.m. CT Oklahoma State escaped with a tough road victory last week in Austin, and I don't expect the Cowboys' winning ways to change in Columbia either. The duo of quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackman will be too much to handle for the Trees. AU @ LSU 34-17, LSU The nation's number one team won't have an issue winning at home against a two-loss Auburn team. The Tigers' defense has held their last three opponents to 11 points of less. 38-17, LSU Is Cam Newton playing in this one? That would be the only chance Auburn has of derailing LSU's national title hopes tomorrow. The nation's 76th best passing attack played in Death Valley spells trouble for Auburn fans, and I expect a rout. 28-17. LSU 28-17. LSU Despite the fact that LSU will be playing without three players, their defense will still be able to stop the Auburn offense led by quarterback Clint Moeley making his first start. Baton Rouge is a daunting place to try and play. Moesley won't have very much success against the Tigers some Saturday. LSU's dominant defense has been the driving force of coach Les Miles' unbeaten Tigers, but that defense will be without its best playmaker in cornerback Tyrin Matthei. The sophomore standout is serving a suspension, but even without Matthieu on field. LSU should be able to find a way to win in Death Valley. Auburn coach Gene Chihk has done a fine job this season, but LSU is just too talented. Saturday, Oct. 22 7 p.m. CT S 45-24, Stanford 42-20, Baylor 35-24. Stanford 38-10. Stanford The Cardinals offense has been a force all season and the Huskies defense will be no match for it. Washington gave up 51 points to Nebraska in a loss earlier this year and performances like that won't cut it against Stanford. Saturday, Oct. 15 9:15 p.m. CT W @ S STATE Any time you have NFL fans wanting to lose on purpose just for the chance to draft you, it must be a good thing. That's where quarterback Andrew Luck finds himself in his senior season at Stanford. The Candiants are undefeated largely due to their top five passing attack and top five defense. Washington doesn't stand much of a chance. S will lead Stanford to victory. Washington has only faced one ranked opponent this season, losing at then 11th ranked Nebraska. The Huskies are the first ranked opponent on Stanford's state. Washington will keep it close at first, but in the end, Heisman candidate Andrew Luck Michigan State has the fourth best defense in the country, but it won't matter against senior quarterback Russell Wilson and the Badgers. Wisconsin will run all over the Spartans and take home the victory. 31-24, Wisconsin 31-28, Michigan State With all due respect to Nebraska, Wisconsin hasn't seen a defense like Michigan State's this season. The Badgers have won all six of their games by 31 points or more, but tomorrow's trip to East Lansing will be their first road test. Michigan State pulls off the upset. 42-24, Wisconsin The consensus Heisman Trophy front-runner will be on full display primetime as Andrew Luck and the undefeated Cardinal take on a surprising Huskers squad. A Stanford loss would completely open up the Pac-12 title race, but I think Luck will lead Stanford to victory in the friendly confined of Palo Alto. The Badgers lost their only Big Ten game at Michigan State last season. This year's Wisconsin squail is even better this go-around. Transfer quarterback Russell Wilson may not catch a touchdown pass like he did last week, but he and the nation's leading scoring offense will keep their foot on the pedal all the way to the end. 35-14, Michigan State Ever since quarterback Russell Wilson's arrival to Madison, the badgers have played at an entirely new level. However, the Badgers are 6-0 without playing a road game yet this season. I like quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Spartans to give Wisconsin a wakeup call under the lights in East Lansing. Michigan State shuts down the nation's roaring offense and wilt off the upset.

Freshmen residency rule under discussion, staff member said; University denies claim JONATHAN SHORMAN jshorman@kansan.com The University is considering an on-campus living requirement for freshmen, according to an email sent by a University staff member to Greek organizations last week. However, University officials have denied the claims of the email. On Tuesday, Amy Long an associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Council who works with the PRAIRIE BROOKS nity, emailed at least one national national executive of a fraternity with a chapter at the University. The email, obtained by The Kansan, asked for information about freshmen living requirements at campuses where these fraternities had chapters. Long The email also said the University was considering changing its tradition of allowing freshmen to live off campus, which would include fraternity houses. "Currently, as part of the University's strategic planning process, one item being considered is moving to a first year live on requirement for all students," Long wrote. "This would no longer allow new members to live in chapter property their freshman year." On Wednesday, Tammara Durham, interim vice provost of student affairs, sent an email denying that the University was considering a change in policy. "I want to correct an email sent by Amy Long requesting information regarding fraternity living. There is no intention of prohibiting freshmen students from living in fraternity houses," Durham wrote. The University once again denied Long's claim on Friday in a statement from Timothy Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs, which was sent to Greek leaders and fraternity executives. "We've received many questions about whether KU is planning to require all freshmen to live in on-campus housing. There have been communications from some university staff members that have not been accurate," Caboni wrote. "On behalf of the university administration, I want to assure you that such a requirement is not being planned." Caboni also mentioned that the University doesn't have the capacity in on-campus housing to even implement such a requirement. Caboni also apologized to the Greek community if its members felt "singled out" in discussions about student housing. "The Greek community plays an important role at KU' Caboni wrote, "including in the first-year experience, and will continue to do so." Edited by Josh Kantor STATISTICS ABOUT ON-CAMPUS LIVING Of 26,266 students on the Lawrence campus,4,693 live in University housing. That's down nine percent from 2000.

CAMPUS Censure publication policy lacks record accessibility SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com In the last 10 months, there have been four public censures of University of Kansas faculty. The first of the recent public notices occurred in December of 2010, prior to which the University had not censured a faculty member since 1993.

"We try to do preventative education, and when something does occur, we are here to help students make good choices," said Jo Hardesty, a managing attorney and the office's director since 1987.

The office assists many students in setting disputes with their landlords. "A lot of people don't know what landlords are required to provide," Hardesty said. The office sees cases in which students are living with perpetual health and safety code violations, such as electrical problems and malfunctioning fire extinguishers, that go unattended by landlords. The office helps students report any violations to the city and represents them in court if needed.

Globovision said in a statement on its website that it will take "all legal actions" to challenge the penalty announced Tuesday by the National Telecommunications Commission. The agency accused the channel of violating broadcast regulations during its coverage of a bloody prison rebellion earlier this year. The agency's chief, Pedro Maldonado, has said Globovision's violations included repeatedly airing emotional interviews with relatives of inmates during the violence. He said Globovision played such interviews about 300 times and added gunfire to the sound of some tracks. The news channel, which has until Dec. 31 to pay, insists it has done nothing wrong and is being penalized for coverage that irritated President Hugo Chavez's government. It is the only channel in Venezuela that takes a staunchly anti-government stance. International organizations such as Human Rights Watch have called the fine an abuse of power by the government. TUNIS. TUNISIA The people who started the Arab Spring shared one of its earliest fruits on Sunday: a free election. Tunisians who brought down a dictator nine months ago waited for hours to select those who will help shape their fledgling democracy. Women with headscarves and without, former political prisoners and young people whose Facebook posts helped fuel the revolution also were among those electing a 217-seat assembly that will appoint a new government and then write a new constitution. SOFIA. BULGARIA It was the first truly free election in the history of Tunisia, which was under the control of President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali for 23 years. Ben Ali was overthrown Jan. 14 by a monthlong uprising, sparked by a fruitseller who set himself on fire in protest of police harassment, then stirred by anger over unemployment, corruption and repression. The uprising inspired similar rebellions across the Arab world. The autocratic rulers of Egypt and Libya have fallen since, but Tunisia is the first country to hold free elections as a result of the upheaval. Egypt's parliamentary election is set for next month. A makeshift bomb exploded under the car of a popular Bulgarian journalist who has been a fierce critic of the center-right government, damaging the vehicle but causing no injuries police said Friday. The blast coincided with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso's visit to the country's capital, Sofia, and amid a heated campaign for next week's presidential and mayoral elections, but police said they had no suspects and had not determined a motive vet. Sasho Dikov's car was blown up late Thursday night in front of his home in a Sofia residential area. Dikov, program director of the Channel 3 TV station, said he hadn't received threats before the blast. "The blast is aimed at intimidating me, at intimidating everyone who speaks the truth." Dikov said in an interview with private BTV on Friday. He declined to blame anyone or group in particular but said he would not stop talking about Prime Minister Boiko Borisov's government's alleged failure to cope with corruption and organized crime. CANBERRA AUSTRALIA The sudden death of an American diver in the jaws of a great white shark off Australia's southwest coast has raised the specter of a rogue man-eater preying on a renowned aquatic playground and killing three men in two months. Scientists say three sharks more likely are responsible, and the three cases are sheerly unfortunate encounters with nature. Australia's southwest corner has been better known for whale and dolphin-watching cruises, white sandy beaches, world-class surf breaks and the peppery shiraz of its Margaret River premium wineries than for fatal shark attacks. "This is a unique set of circumstances, and I'm desperately ... praying this is not the beginning of a new trend ... and we're going to have these on a regular basis," Western Australia state Fisheries Minister Norman Moore said on Sunday, referring to the three recent deadly attacks. The latest was Saturday when American George Wainwright was attacked while diving solo off a boat near Rottnest Island, a few miles from the city of Perth in Western Australia state. INTERNATIONAL Messy Iraq war may cause change in US military action ASSOCIATED PRESS BALL, Indonesia — In the final days of the U.S. war in Iraq, the outlook for America's military entanglements is markedly different from the confusing, convulsive first days. Early on Iraq looked, to many, like one in a string of big conflicts in a "war on terror." That was the view of John Abizaid when the now-retired Army general led U.S. forces in Iraq in 2003-04. At a U.S. base in northern Iraq one day in early 2004, Abizaid told soldiers preparing to return home that he hoped they would remain in uniform and keep building combat experience. Asked by an Associated Press reporter why he had made that pitch, Abizaid said, "I think the country is going to face more of these (ground wars) in the years ahead." Now, with the last American troops set to depart by year's end, Iraq seems more likely to signal an That was a widely accepted, and often dreaded, view at the time. end to such long and enormously costly undertakings in the name of preventing another terrorist attack on U.S. soil — at least under the administration of President Barack Obama. He opposed the Iraq war and has declared that "the tides of war are receding." BE A HALLOWEEN HOTTIE 1/2 PRICE TANS! Any single session, any level Hurry, off ends on Oct. 31st!

To receive the newsletter, recipients must sign up online. When censures occur, they are listed within a link on the bottom right hand side of KU Today. The link is labeled "News in Brief" and does not occur in every edition. Hummert said the University does not list censures outside of the notifications in the KU Today newsletter. Milton Wendland, a visiting assistant professor in women, gender and sexuality studies, said he receives KU Today but often times does not read the content. "The subject line of the KU Today email determines whether or not I open and read it," Wendland said. Wendland said he did not know that KU Today was the place where faculty censures were reported. Jill Jess, director of University relations, and Hummert declined to comment whether public censure affects a faculty member's future employment. "The censure is the only disciplinary action that is public," Hummert said. "Anything else that may or may not have occurred would be a private personnel issue." According to the University's Senate rules and regulations, a censure is a written reprimand for actions that constitute academic misconduct. Public censure is the third most severe form of formal sanction, as listed in the University's code of faculty rights, responsibilities and conduct.

PAGE 3 LEGAL FROM PAGE 1 Boone enjoys helping students resolve their legal matters and said that students should not feel embarrassed about consulting the office. Each appointment is confidential and the office does not serve as a reporting agency for the University. "We understand that issues arise and we just want students to continue having the best KU experience," Boone said. The office also helps students by providing tax workshops and individual income tax assistance, making spring the busiest time of year. Although the office does not offer representation for criminal matters, it gives legal advice on how to proceed and help students get in contact with people who could help. The office also gives advice to students in need of copyright for their art, music, new ideas and inventions. The office provides general education for the student body through its Facebook page,"Legal Services for Students." Updates include legal news, law changes and check point warnings. Brianna Hanson, a second year graduate student from Vilas, S.D., sees the value in the services through her internship in the office, which she began in January. "The purpose is to help with retention and to help KU students meet their goals," Hanson said. "If you're ever in need, we're here for you."

At 1:30 a.m., police arrived in two cars and a van, telling campers they would enforce a city ordinance prohibiting individuals from being in public parks between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. Occupy Lawrence member Wade Briscoe said police allowed demonstrators who wanted to leave to do so. Demonstrator TJ Campsey said the officers asked the campers to move their tents from the eagement — the area between the sidewalk and the street — to inside the park. He estimated about 10 police officers were present. Brian Sultana, an Occupy Lawrence member, said the police threatened to confiscate anything that was not removed from the easement. The exact number of citations issued was not clear, but at least eight were issued according to Occupy members. Edited by Jayson Jenks Briscoe said the demonstrators were cited for violating ordinance 15-208. The Lawrence Police Department was unable comment Sunday evening. "The hanging threat of eviction was a big thing," he said. Sultana said the citations were a positive for Occupy Lawrence because the threat of police action had overshadowed the group's message. Amy Bowen, who was not camping overnight but did receive a citation, said she believed police action would bring attention to the Occupy Lawrence cause. "This shows people we are willing to take citations," she said. David Platnikov, who also received a citation, said he was prepared for police to show up again. "If they've come once, they'll come again," Platnikov said. He said he was prepared to stay through the night and wanted people to realize the citations were written for being in public space. Jessica Barron, an Occupy member who did not receive a citation, said police told the group they would apply the law universally, but she did not think that was true. She said the police only issued citations to people standing in the Occupy Lawrence camp area. Several people, including some returning from the bars, passed through the park but were not ticketed. Occupy Lawrence members did not understand why police chose to enforce the city ordinance, which took effect at 11:30 p.m., early in the morning instead of at night. He said he thought police chose the time to divert public attention. Bowen said police did not write tickets for the group's tents, which are also in violation of city ordinance. If wasn't really underhanded, but it was less than a totally public way of doing it," Sultana said. Bowen, a Lawrence resident, said she was heavily involved with the Occupy KC movement and had come over the night before to support Occupy Lawrence when she heard police action was a possibility. She said receiving a citation hasn't affected her position in the movement and that she plans to return to the Kansas City movement on Sunday.

They huffed and puffed and finally came up with the idea to use fairy tales as the subject of their shows. But their approaches were as different as Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. ABC's "Once Upon a Time" looks at what happens when the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) decides to punish all of the fairy tale characters by sending them to live in a horrible place — Maine. They've been stripped of their memories and only Snow White's daughter, Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), can save them. The "Grimm" approach at NBC is to have fairy tales based on real-world creatures that now prowl the Pacific Northwest. It's up to Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), the last in the long line of creature fighters, to close the book on the evil creatures. "Once Upon a Time" comes from "Lost" writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Fairy tales premiere in modern television TELEVISION MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE "The idea for the show really started over eight years ago, and Eddie and I had just come off working on 'Felicity.' We had just been talking about why we are writers and what are the kinds of stories we like to tell. Fairy tales were these really formative things for us," says By Nick Sambaluk 2 CAUGHT BY SWAT TEAM FLY PAPER That the actors are having a good time with their characters is a blessing to Kitsis. "Its incredibly challenging and inspiring and certainly contributed to my wanting to be a part of it. On 'Big Love,' we had an actress who played twins, and watching her process was very fascinating." Goodwin says. "I thought that I was going to take from that in developing Snow White and Mary Margaret. Horowitz. "And then we sat down to write it and we didn't know what the hell we were doing" Kitsis calls it eight years of writer's block that didn't break until after they started working on "Lost." The actors play traditional and modernized versions of fairy tale characters. Gennifer Goodwin, as Snow White/Mary Margaret, welcomes the chance to play two different versions of the same character. "The show at its core is a character show. We are much more interested in the character than the mythology. We are much more interested in why does the Evil Queen hate Snow There are no polar bears in the opening episode, but the show does have all the layers of mysteries that made "Lost" so addictive. There's the town where time has stood still for decades. Questions are plentiful about the characters, such as who remembers their fairy tale past. Even Emma Swan comes with her own set of mysteries. "There's a lot of movies and a lot of TV shows, but ours is so not about the fairy tale. It's a police procedural with a hint of fairy tale," says executive producer Todd Millner. White? Why is Grumpy grumpy? Why does Geppetto want a boy so badly he made one out of wood? We love the idea of going back and forth and kind of informing what the character is missing in their life, and that's what going back and forth does for us." Kitsis says. Both series look to live happily ever after. While "Once Upon a Time" will bounce between real and fairy tale settings, "Grimm" is rooted in the modern world. This will be a familiar format for executive producers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, who worked on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." "This show is probably for a broader audience than 'Buffy' was for. It takes a police procedural and kind of turns it on its head. It takes a storybook fairy tale every week and fractures that. So I think it's a new beginning for us; for sure," Greenwalt says. "Our notion is that the Grimm brothers are actually profilers of criminal events. In other words, the stories they told are real, and there's no separate world. They live in our world, and our guy can see them. He can see the big bad wolf and the child molester, for example."

I don't want to knock the University's No. 1 ranked quidditch team. Quidditch certainly looks like an entertaining and exciting sport, with its physical and sometimes brutal contact combined with cross-country running and coed team members. What's not to love? It's like rugby for nerds. Jason Bennett jbennett@kansan.com Where quidditch loses me is when the devotion to "realism," for lack of a more accurate word, involves putting a decidedly non-magical broomstick between one's legs. The brooms serve no purpose. They're just for showman- ship and Harry Potter- ness. But I use quidditch as an example. My real issue is with Pottermania in general. I hate to break it to the millions of adoring boys and girls dreaming of one day taking the Hogwarts Express to school, but the books themselves aren't even that good. I was 17 years old when the first Potter book came out, making me a decidedly older than the average Potter reader. I had already read scores, if not hundreds, of fantasy fiction books by then. Benefit from my wisdom. I read the Harry Potter series. I enjoyed it, especially later books. It's just not great writing. No, it's not as bad as Stephanie Meyers' "Twilight" series, but the characters are one-dimensional and uninspired. The titular hero of the story, Harry, isn't even that likeable. He's a whiny complainer and a reluctant hero that never actually stops being reluctant until the last 20 pages of the series. The most sympathetic character is Hermione, but how can we like and relate to a character that is always perfect? I grew up a huge Lord of the Rings fan, but you won't see me speaking Elvish, even though J.R.R. Tolkien created an entire language. Some people do, though. Those people are weird. The same goes for Star Trek's speakers of Klingon. So, I implore you: Move on. Potter was a fine series to read as a young adult, but it's time to graduate.

BrandonWoodard POLITICS Lack of experience hurts Herman Cain Herman Cain, the businessman and motivational speaker currently running second to Mitt Romney in polls for the Republican presidential nomination, prides himself on his lack of political pride. "I'm not a politician," Cain told CNN host Piers Morgan in an interview last week. It's tempting to point out that Cain appeals to many of the same voters who four years ago argued that then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-III.) was too politically unseasoned to assume the duties of commander in chief. But to the conservative mind, Cain's case is quite different. He may not even have gotten past a 2004 primary for U.S. Senate in Georgia, but his experience as a businessman gives him the practical problem-solving experience that's needed to revive America's sagging fortunes. What good is a long political track record when the current lot of politicians has performed so miserably? Of course, it wouldn't exactly be comforting to hear the pilot of a transcontinental flight announce before takeoff that after years of watching poor piloting from his perspective as a passenger, hed decided to take matters into his own hands. Moreover, despite Washington's shameful inability to take action on proposals for job creation, it's unfair to malign the political class as fundamentally incapable of addressing problems. Cain would reply that he either opposes these policies entirely or disagrees with how they were implemented (as in the case of the bank bailout). But that such landmark pieces of legislation were able to become law in a politically polarized environment suggests that even loathed "career politicians" can get things done. Say what you will about the policies themselves, but since 2008 alone, Congress has passed a financial rescue package (on a bipartisan vote) to avert another Great Depression, an inadequate but substantial stimulus package, health care reform, financial regulatory reform, the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, and, just this month, three free trade agreements. Luke Brinker lbbrinker@kansan.com But could a businessman do better? Perhaps, but not if he treats governing as no different from principles of private management. Cain and Romney both claim that we need to run the government more like a business, ignoring that government is not run for a profit. And the level of cutbacks — in personnel and programs — implied in the Cain-Romney view would critically weaken the government's ability to support a thriving economy, upon which American businesses depend. Cain's supporters arm themselves with talking points to respond to each of these objections, but what they can't credibly contend is that the pitfalls of political greenness haven't already manifested themselves in their candidate's performance. Take Cain's platitudinous defense of his 9-9-9 tax reform proposal. When confronted with specifics, he claimed that lower class families wouldn't pay higher tax rates under the plan. But last week, he suddenly altered the proposal to acknowledge that under the original version, poorer families would indeed have faced higher tax bills. Perhaps a more experienced candidate would not have had his tax policy drawn up by an accountant at a Wells Fargo branch in Ohio. In the surest sign that Cain will eventually flame out, he told Fox host John Stossel last week that he was opposed to abortion rights under any circumstances. When asked about cases of rape, Cain responded, as any pro-choicer would, that the decision was up to the woman. While his rival Romney may not have any core convictions on the abortion issue, he at least knows how to argue his (current) anti-choice position. Based on his campaign theatrics so far, I'm sure that Cain's upcoming Fox News show will be entertaining.

Quote of the game — Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon Patmom Offense The Jayhawks couldn't get their running attack going, and it brought their offense to a standstill. Freshman running back Tony Pierson was the only back to average more than four yards per carry. The Jayhawks also opened the second half with three consecutive fumbles. Grade: F Defense The Wildcats took what the Layhawks gave them, beating them through the air and on the ground. Junior quarterback Collin Klein set a career high with 195 yards passing. The defense lacked the energy they brought the week before against Oklahoma, and it showed, as they failed to stop Kansas State on seven consecutive drives stretching from the first to the third quarters. Special teams The Jayhawk special teams opened up the second half allowing a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown. They also had a big return by freshman running back Brandon Bourbon called back because of multiple penalties. Grade: F Coaching The Jayhawks were not prepared to play this week, and it showed with 105 penalty yards. The coaching staff's attempts to fix the team's third quarter troubles by simulating half-time in practice failed, as they were outscored 21-0 and fumbled three times. Game ball Mundine Freshman tight end Jimmy Mundine: Mundine had a career high four catches for 41 yards and his first career touchdown, a two-yard reception from senior quarterback Quinn Mecham. JOHN HENRY Looking ahead The Jayhawk will get to face their first opponent that is not undefeated this weekend when they travel to Austin, Texas, to take on the Longhorns. The Longhorns have a young quarterback leading their team. If the Jayhawk defense can pressure him, the team might be able to secure its first conference victory. 12 97 100 Game notes Senior linebacker Steven Johnson recorded double-digit stops for the fifth-time this season with 12 stops against Kansas State. Freshman Tyler Lockett's kickoff return for a Wildcat touchdown was the first Kansas has allowed in four years. Saturday marked the highest-penalized game of the season for the Jayhawks, featuring a single three-penalty play in the third quarter. Under Turner Gill the team has allowed more than 100 penalty yards twice. ETHAN PADWAY Defense lacks grit against Wildcats epadway@kansan.com For the first time since the football team played Northern Illinois, the Kansas defense allowed fewer than 500 yards of total offense. Normally, this is a sign of improvement, but the Jayhawks clearly lacked any energy in the 59-21 loss against their in-state rival. "Right now, we're just not capable as a team to overcome adversity with the kind of grit that we probably need," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said. Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein continued the trend of opposing quarterbacks putting up big numbers against Kansas. By the end of the first half, he had set his career high for passing vards. Klein flawlessly executed the read-option play around the goal line, deciding at the last possible second to make the decision of giving the ball to sophomore running back John Hubert or keeping it himself. This forced the Kansas defenders to play too aggressively and out of position. Klein took advantage, finishing the day with four rushing touchdowns. "What we dealt with today is what he's duplicated all year long," Shealy said. "We thought we had a good plan." Klein showed his ability to improvise with his feet. Leading 14-0, Klein dropped back to pass, saw that none of his receivers were open and took off down the field. He picked up 31 yards, helping to set up Hubert's five-yard touchdown plunge "Sometimes, as a Kansas football team, we let that get to us," Patmon said. "We just need to learn how to fight through that, and when big plays happen, we need to learn how to bounce back and fire back at the other team." Then Kansas' balloon completely deflated after K-State returned the second half's opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. in the waning seconds of the first half, the Jayhawks appeared to have recaptured some momentum, scoring a touchdown and cutting the score to 28-14. But Klein connected with freshman wide receiver Tyler Lockett on a 48-yard completion, setting up a field goal with one second left. The defense never recovered in a game where the score and the statistics resemble that of last year's Sunflower Showdown. "Its hard when you're in pass coverage and the quarterback starts scrambling to come out of your position and try to make the play, because at any time he can just step back and throw the ball," sophomore cornerback Tyler Patton said. The game eradicated any confidence the Jayhawks brought with them from their tussel with Oklahoma the week before. "It was a disappointing game for everyone," junior safety Bradley McDougald said. "Guys just didn't show up. People weren't focused, and we just didn't make plays." that blew the game open 21-0. - Edited by Jayson Jenks 4 PAGE 8 MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2011 SWIMMING AND DIVING THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Jayhawks see improvement, capture two wins ELISE REUTER ereuter@kansan.com The swimming and diving team took victories against Northern Iowa and North Dakota Saturday. Placing high in every category, the Jayhawks swam well despite just having returned from a tough competition the day before. "We were really tough in that sense, and we stayed really positive even though we were tired," senior captain Stephanie Payne said. Payne competed in the 200 yard individual medley, 100 yard fly and the 100 yard breaststroke. She placed first in all events, with times of 2:07, 0:57, and 1:08 respectively. This meet was different from the others in that several team members competed in different events than usual. For example, Payne normally competes in the 200 yard fly and breaststroke, so Saturday was more of sprint meet for her. "Some of us were really put out of our comfort zone, but we stepped up to the plate for it," Payne said. Senior Abigail Anderson also competed on Saturday, She placed first in the 200 yard backstroke with a time of 2:06:57 and won with her team for the 400 medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay. "Having more than two teams at a meet makes for an interesting dynamic," Anderson said. "I'm really pleased with my time and how the team did. I swam these events the day before and improved on my time." After a tough competition against Minnesota on Friday, Saturday's meet provided a comeback for both teams. The day ended with two victories, winning 176-117 against North Dakota and 186-105 against Northern Iowa. Coach Clark Campbell has been pleased with the team's performance so far. He hopes the endurance they have shown early this season will continue to grow. "It was a tough turnaround when we were on the road again after Friday," Campbell said. "It was a challenge, but I was proud of how the team competed on Saturday.

"We love it. Any defense loves to play away and hear boos," said Flowers, who had two interceptions. "Every defense loves that.

Coach Hue Jackson moved quickly to get a replacement by trading for Palmer on Tuesday. Palmer had been available because he refused to play with Cincinnati and had been working out on his own in Southern California. Because of his rust and unfamiliarity with his teammates and the playbook, Palmer did not start in his debut. It didn't end up mattering because neither quarterback was able to do much.

At the beginning of the day, the layhawks knew what was at stake; if they won the game, then the team would clinch a spot in the Big 12 Tournament and move a step closer to NCAA Tournament. "We were definitely extremely focused," junior forward Whitney Berry said. "I think coming off the loss Friday night was just so heartbreaking that everyone was ready to to and get the win today." Berry also cemented her place in Kansas soccer history. She broke the team's single-season record for assists. "It shows that we've got girls up top that are able to finish," Berry said. The Jayhawks did not waste time putting a score on the board when sophomore forward Amy Grow converted a free kick just outside the penalty box in the 10th minute. After the loss against Missouri, Grow said the team was ready to come out and execute the whole game. "I think we came out of the Missouri game a bit shocked," Grow Kansas continued its scoring spree with goals from several different players. said. "It was a game that we had in our hands and threw it away at the end. Coming off that we knew we had to win this game." "This is definitely perfect for us to be clicking and to play together right now," Van Slambroub said. KANSAS 7 2 Senior forward Kortney Clifton and freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouck came off the bench to give the Jayhawks a much-needed boost. They both scored goals against the Cyclones. Freshmen Ingrid Vidal and Liana Salazar each tacked on the other two scores for Kansas. Vidal added to her team-high total 11 goals. With one game remaining in the regular season, the Jayhawks have secured a spot in the Big 12 tournament, but now they want to make sure they continue to play at the level shown on Sunday. "We really did a good job, I thought, of controlling the tempo of the game and keeping the ball," coach Mark Francis said. Defensively, the Jayhaws also made some adjustments to refocus and make sure they did not make the same mistakes as Friday. "I think the biggest thing for us is to just keep coming out and competing like we have been the past two or three weeks," Francis said. "If we do that, the soccer part will take care of itself." ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO — Edited by C.J. Matson Junior forward Whitney Berry races to gain control of the ball Friday night against Missouri at Audrey J. Walton Complex. After losing to Missouri Friday, the team defeated Iowa State Sunday, 6-1. MISSOURI FROM PAGE 12 with a traditional, regional rival. Missouri has been playing its regional rivalry game at Arrowhead Stadium against Kansas since 2007. However, if Missouri were to exit the conference, the negative economic implications on Kansas City have been a major concern. Though Missouri has not announced its departure, the university is ensuring its presence in Kansas City, regardless of conference affiliation. "We absolutely want to continue playing Kansas in all sports, not just football," Alden said. "The iKU-Missouri rivalry belongs in the Big 12 Conference. Missouri already has an out-of-conference rivalry series in St. Louis with the University of Illinois, but Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger does not seem intent on following a similar model in Kansas City. Should Missouri decide to leave the Big 12, we would wish them well," Zenger said in an official statement Friday. In regard to Missouri's plan of action, Deaton revealed that Missouri currently has no timetable set, but the school would like to reach a decision in the near future. "We would anticipate that any decision we make would be apropos to next season," Deaton said. Deaton's intentions are on the contrary to what Interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas said in a press release by the Big 12, about Missouri following the admittance of Texas Christian University to the Big 12. "If Missouri was going to change horses, it wouldn't be for 2012 anyway." Neimas said. Whether the Big 12 looks to increase its membership to 12 teams is entirely dependent on Missouri's decision. Neinas and the Big 12 responded to Missouri's announcement in a statement released Friday. "We look forward to discussing Missouri's future with the Big 12 Conference. The school has been involved with the Big 12 and its predecessor conferences since 1907," Neinas said. "It is propitious that the Big 12 Board of Directors has a regularly scheduled meeting on Monday. Obviously, conference membership will be thoroughly discussed at that time." According to PowerMizzou com, Missouri's Rivals.com website, Deaton could announce Missouri's withdrawal from the Big 12 as early as Monday. Deaton is expected to attend Monday's Big 12 Board of Directors meeting in Dallas to inform the board about Missouri's decision to end its affiliation with the conference. Edited by Mandy Matney Texas ties up series with shutout victory ARLINGTON, Texas — Derek Holland kept Albert Pujols in the ballpark and the Texas Rangers in this World Series. In a title matchup that's getting more interesting with every game, Holland put the emphasis back on pitching. Given a pep talk by manager Ron Washington minutes before the game, Holland allowed two hits over 8-1-3 innings to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 on Sunday night and even things at 2-all. game shutout in the World Series since Josh Beckett's gem for Florida to clinch the 2003 title at Yankee Stadium. MLB Holland struck out seven, walked two and never was in trouble against a team that erupted for 16 runs the previous night. He came within two outs of pitching the first complete- Hobbled Josh Hamilton put Texas ahead with an RBI double in the first inning. Then Mike Napoli broke it open with a three-run homer in the sixth that set off a hearty high-five in the front row between team president Nolan Ryan and former President George W. Bush. "I was very focused. I knew this was a big game for us," Holland said. "I had to step up and make sure I was prepared." And just like that, for the first time since 2003, the World Series stood at two games apiece. Now the whole season is down to a best of three, with the outcome to be decided back A day after Pujols produced arguably the greatest hitting show in postseason history, tying Series records with three home runs, sixRBIs and five hits during the Cardinals' romp, Holland emerged as the unlikely star. Game 5 is Monday night at Rangers Ballpark. It's a rematch of the opener, when Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter topped C.J. Wilson. at Busch Stadium.

"I think it all stems back to practice," sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said. "We were really good at the beginning of the week. Our energy level was really high. We were performing well, and then it kind of tapered off throughout the week. If that happens, you can't expect to come out here on Saturday and beat a good team." The Jayhawks never had a chance, especially after they committed a crucial error right before the first half closed. Instead of staying on top of the routes, the defense missed one altogether, as junior quarterback Collin Klein hit a wide open receiver down the middle of the field for 48-yards, setting up a 26-yard field goal for the Wildcats. Trailing 28-14 with 11 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Kansas State got the ball on the 43-yard line. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said Kansas came out in a quarter defense, trying to stay on top of all of the Kansas State receiver's routes. "We had an execution breakdown." Shealy said. The execution breakdowns keep coming for the Jayhawks, and they have no end in sight. Week after week, Kansas players have made fatal errors that are not often seen Gill has five games left and five weeks of practice to get those lethal errors out of the Jayhawks in-game repertoire before Kansas Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger explores other options. elsewhere in college football and that can only be corrected on the practice field. "I don't expect any player, coach, administrator, fan or alum to accept the performance on the field today or in recent weeks." Zenger said to the Kansas City Star after the game. "We will get this thing fixed. At the University of Kansas, we will never make complete evaluations until the season is complete and the body of work is in."

CORBIN MIHELIC cmihelic@kansan.com JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN As the No. 33 ranked doubles team, senior Ekaterina Morozova and sophomore Dylan Windom went into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association regional tournament in Tulsa, Okla., expecting to contend for a trip to the National Indoor Championship. Instead, the duo endured a tough loss in the quarterfinals to Oklahoma State's Kanyapat Narattana and Malika Rose. 9-8(2). "We kind of froze up and couldn't finish it out," coach Amy Hole-Holt said. "I have to give Oklahoma State credit. They came out and they took it to Kate and Dylan. It was a great match all around, but we just didn't finish it." Morozova and Windom were the tournament's No. 2 seed, and defeated Missouri's Rachel Stuhmann and Alexandra Clark, 8-4, and Alexa Palen and Magdaluna Wiecha of Minnesota, 8-5, in their first two matches. "We've had a great run this semester, and I'm definitely very proud of both of them," Hall-Holt said. "I'm looking forward to seeing what great things come about for next semester." Morozova also had a solid showing in the main singles draw, but lost in the quarterfinals to Madeleine Geibert of Nebraska, 6-4, 6-3. She led early in both sets, but was hampered by back spasms throughout the match. "She played very, very well with a lot of confidence this weekend," Hall-Holt said of Morozova. "She kind of tweaked her back a little bit in the first set of singles today but fought through it." Windom also played in the main singles draw, but fell in the first round to Emile Carbone of Arkansas, 7-5, 6-3. Meanwhile, the rest of the team finished its fall portion of the season at the KU Invitational in Lawrence. Junior Monica Pezzotti and sophomore Paulina Los were the highlights of the tournament for the Jayhawks by winning the tournament's main doubles draw. The duo took down Kansas State's Karla Bonacic and Carmen Borau Ramos, 9-8(2), in the semifinals before defeating Carolyn Chupa and Katie Kylczek of Indiana, 8-6, in the championship match. Sophomore Amy Barnthouse lost in the finals of Singles Draw E to Marquette's Tina Radan, 6-1, 6-3, to finish second in the draw. Los fell in the semifinals of Draw B to Indiana's Sophie Garre, 6-4, 6-2, but the third-place match was not played. Freshman Karen Hernandez finished fifth in Draw C, while junior Victoria Khanevskaya made it to the consolation final of Draw D. Khanevskaya's fifth-place "Each day we keep preparing what our goals are for this offseason." AMY HALL-HOLT Coach match was also not played. Khanevskaya and Los each played an extra match that did not count toward their respective singles draws. Los defeated Klyczek, 6-1, 6-0, and Khanevskaya defeated UMKC's Suzan Lisenby, 6-1, 6-1, in those matches. The team will be back in action Jan. 12 in Honolulu for the Hawaii Invitational. "Each day we keep preparing what our goals are for this off-season and we try to accomplish those goals as we go on," Hall-Holt said. "We look forward to coming back in January having completed those goals to go to Hawaii." — Edited by Mandy Matney Share your best photos of KU and WIN $250 for each winning photo!

FACT OF THE DAY Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals hit three home runs on Saturday against the Texas Rangers in Game 3 of the World Series. MLB.com --- TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who are the only other players to hit three home runs in a World Series game? A: Babe Ruth, twice, and Reggie Jackson. TRIVIA OF THE DAY NYTimes.com Today, Babe belongs on bench MORNING BREW Often referred to as "The Great Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat," Babe Ruth was, without a doubt, one of the best players to ever step onto a baseball diamond. But what would happen if we were to take the Babe from the 1920s and put him up against some of the best talent today's game has to offer? Here's the breakdown: CONDITIONING By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com Ruth would be in a major advantage in this aspect of the game. Players are better conditioned, faster and stronger than ever before. Back when Ruth played, players didn't have to go through the same strenuous training a modern baseball player goes through year-round. He didn't have specific coaches on his team to work on the different aspects of his game. Not to mention the change in diet that Ruth would Now, ballplayers place more of an emphasis on eating healthier to stay in shape during the season. It is said that Ruth would down several hot dogs and sodas before a game, something that would only fly in today's game if you played for the Boston Red Sox. Ruth also didn't have access to nutritional supplements or steroids, which even though I hate to admit exist in the game, sadly are still used by players. Today teams also have state of the art personal trainers that are able to diagnose and repair a player's injury, which would have saved a lot of athletes from career-ending injuries had they been around in Ruth's playing days. LITTLE LEAGUE The popularity of Little League never really took off until the 1940s, after Ruth's playing days. That's not to say kids like Ruth weren't playing the game growing up, but rather the game was not being played at such a highly organized level. Because of this, kids are now picking up the game faster and learning proper mechanics at a young age. SCOUTING Sure, Ruth played against the best talent of his time, but they were all white, American ballplayers. Some of the best talent in today's game comes from countries all over the world like the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. He would have never seen a Mariano Rivera cutter or C.C. Sabathia's electric fastball. With the advancement of technology, scouts have been able to find some of the best talent from all around the world and sign them to play in the States. Players are now able to look at in-depth pitcher/batter analysis to make adjustments against other players. Had this kind of technology been available in the 1920s, you would have seen pitchers make a lot smarter decisions when pitching to Ruth. Ruth was definitely one of the greatest players to have ever lived. After all, it takes a special player to hit 714 homers, especially when you consider how much bigger the ballparks were that he played in. But baseball has evolved a lot since he's played and I really don't see him being the impact player that he once was. It's certainly possible that he could hit against today's major leaguers, but I think you would see a lot more strikeouts and fewer home runs. At best, I think I could see a role for him on the bench.

Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com - Edited by Jayson Jenks Gill should at least have another season or two because he is making progress with this team. He is doing a good job recruiting — he had the 34th-best recruiting class last year according to Rivals. FORMER RECRUIT BRAEDEN ANDERSON JOINS FRESNO STATE @KANSAN.COM Yes, it's been difficult to watch this team get blown out. Yes, it's been difficult to watch the defense surrender as many points and as many yards as it does, but to compare this team to the teams that won the Orange Bowl and Insight Bowl is asinine. When Gill became coach he had nothing to work with. He didn't have Todd Reesing, who is considered to be one of Kansas' greatest quarterbacks. He didn't have Dezmon Briscoe, Kerry Meier or Darrell Stuckey; all three are in the NFL. But those who say Gill should be fired are ludicrous. That 2007 team exceeded expectations and set a new standard for what Kansas football should be. It was a team that defeated Nebraska, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor when all four of those teams were struggling. If Kansas had played Texas, Texas Tech or Oklahoma, I am confident Kansas would have lost to all three. Coach Turner Gill has been scrutinized lately for the Jayhawks' ineptitude. Kansas' 5-14 record since he took command of this team is certainly disappointing, three years removed from an Orange Bowl victory. Athletics director Sheahon Zenger's statement about allowing Gill to finish the season shouldn't even have been said. Even evaluating Gill after the season is finished is a little too far. Gill has three years and $6 million remaining on his contract. If Kansas fires him, it must pay Gill the remaining $6 million. Why pay Gill and then a new coach? Gill had a young and inexperienced offense last year, and he has a young and inexperienced defense this year. He expended his eligibility as a quarterback at Nebraska. All he can do is call plays; it's up to the players to perform. His players have his back, especially linebacker Steven Johnson. He was almost in tears after Saturday's loss. But through seven games, this is uncalled for. SUNFLOWER NO-SHOWS The offensive play-calling needs to change — it's very predictable. Kansas runs on first and second down and then throws on third down. It makes it easy for defenses to stop Kansas. Gill needs to change things up. PRACTICE NOT SO PERFECT Awful is an understatement when talking about the defense. To his credit, though, defensive coordinator Vic Shealy took over the job right before the season, so there isn't real familiarity between players and coach. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb and senior offensive lineman Jeremiah Hatch try to recover a fumble Saturday against Kansas State. Kansas did not recover the fumble and lost the game 59-21. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Coach Turner Gill had a chance to ease the pressure that has been weighing on him from Kansas fans and media alike when an undefeated No. 12 Kansas State team came to Lawrence. Instead, the microscope has zoomed in further on Gill, as the Jayhawks failed to compete, with 'the Wildcats' domination starting early and never letting off. After punting on its first possession, Kansas State scored a touchdown that started a trend of eight consecutive scores. The scoring streak ranged from the first to the third quarter, leaving Kansas little to no chance of defeating its instate rivals. It is something that has happened before, with the Jayhawks getting blown out consistently throughout Gill's tenure. Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon pointed to lack of energy and preparation for the game because of the way the team practiced all week. "It's very hard when you don't go hard in practice and then you come into the game and try to go full speed," Patmon said. "It's a whole different picture." expect his team to play to their potential. Yet Gill said it was all three phases of the ball — offense, defense and special teams — where guys did not make the plays they needed too. With Gill not getting all he could out of the team in practice, it's almost impossible for him to Gill said he will continue to evaluate where the team is offensively and defensively, but when the entire team fails to compete, like it did in Saturday's 59-21 loss, it's tough to pinpoint what exactly went wrong. It was Gill's eighth loss by 30 or more points in 19 games as coach at Kansas. "I think today maybe took a little step back," Gill said. "I think a lot of things that are coming to surface is our inexperience." Midway through the season, inexperience should not still be a problem. Where this young Kansas team should be gaining experience and toughness is on the practice SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 9 BIG 12 Missouri closer to departure ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After weeks of speculation, the Tigers — though getting closer — are still not ready to leave the Big 12. The Missouri Board of Curators announced on Oct. 21 at the campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City that the board unanimously granted Chancellor Brady Deaton any and all authority to make decisions regarding Missouri's conference affiliation, including entering into contracts with new conferences. The board's announcement comes after meeting for two days at UMKC. Missouri athletic director Mike Alden's presence at these deliberations reaffirmed the belief that conference realignment would be on the closed executive session's agenda. Although the resolution was similar to the board's Oct. 4 decision in St. Louis, Deaton can now act solely on his own regarding Missouri's course of action. "There's no expectation that I would come back to the board," Deaton said while addressing the process of reaching a decision. The announcement also included a directive to seek basketball and football games in Kansas City SEE MISSOURI PAGE 9 V VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks seize first conference win MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com While she had a bumpy start to Saturday night's game, it was only fitting that senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield got the decisive kill that gave the volleyball team its first conference victory of the season. Mayfield led everyone on the court with 56 total attacks, more than twice as many as any other individual teammate, and recording 21 kills and 16 errors. She said she felt the victory coming as she smashed the ball over the net for the game-winning kill in the fourth game. Despite dropping the first set and nearly collapsing in the second, Kansas (13-8, 1-7) positioned itself out of the cellar of the Big 12 by defeating Texas Tech (14-9, 0-8) at home, 22-25, 25-23, 25-11, 25-19. Mayfield moved into seventh place all-time in kills for the Jayhawks. Coach Ray Bechard said his team has to have better balance and added that he was impressed with how Mayfield finished. "I didn't want it to go any longer," Mayfield said. "We just wanted to end the game right there. I was swinging as hard as I could." "Mayfield took some heavy swings," Bechard said. "She was pretty high error tonight, but she stayed at it and that paid off." After dropping a first set that featured nine tied scores and six lead changes, the Jayhawks led for the entirety of the second set. But that statistic does not tell the whole story. Facing a 24-15 hole, the Red Raiders rallied for eight consecutive points with the Jayhawks serving for the set. "It's frustrating because you want to terminate so badly, but sometimes we try too hard to terminate and we make errors," jarmoc said. "We just have to be efficient in putting the ball away" The third set was all Jay-hawks, as the team closed on a 10-2 run. With the memory of the Red Raiders' second set run in the back of their minds, the Jayhawks finished off the fourth on a 10-4 run. Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who finished with 13 kills and only three errors, said the Red Raiders' rally was due to the Jayhaws' own inefficiency. "I think we, did a pretty good job of keeping a level head," Mayfield said. "We got excited at times, which is good, but we didn't get overconfident and lose track of them." Bechard said his team will be in a mad dash for victories during the second half of Big 12 play as it tries to reach the postseason for the first time since 2005. With her career as a lajhawk winding down, Mayfield agreed with Bechard. "We have to remember what it feels like to have this win and what it feels like not to win," Mayfield said. "We have to use that as motivation. We feel like we have good talent. It's a matter of executing and getting the job done."

CARR BOBBY BURCH bburch@kansan.com KJHK 90.7 FM employs a rather unconventional strategy to conduct its operations. The approach, according to Alex Tretbar, a senior from Wichita and KJHK's station manager, is "keeping it fresh!" And the plan seems to be paying-off as the station received two national rankings in 2011, including a mention in The Washington Post as one of the 10 greatest college radio stations in the U.S. "It's definitely something that's a really good morale booster for the station," Tretar said. "It comes at a good time because at this time in the semester students in general are kind of tired and something like this can lift everyone's spirits." The latest accolade comes only two months after the Princeton Review ranked JKHK the 15th best student-run radio station in the country. While the recognition is evidence of the current staff's efforts, the awards also reflect the station's history of broadcasting, according to Tom Johnson, KJHK's general manager. Since its founding in 1975, KJHK has maintained an FM radio presence, Johnson said, a feat which sets the University's "sound alternative" "It's a nod to longevity and the fact that KU trusts KJHK," he said. "There are so many stations that Universities have sold-off the FCC license for them just to make a buck." apart from many other college radio stations. Johnson said that increasingly more college radio stations use automated Djs and exclusively stream content online. In addition to offering its programs on the web, KJHK has preserved the traditional FM format with student operators in the studio 24 hours a day — two factors that contributed to the Post's ranking. However, having a student DJ at the station around-the-clock appears to be much easier this year, as the number of volunteers at KJHK increased more than 25 percent since 2010. Johnson said that on a typical year the station would have anywhere from 130 to 150 student volunteers to help with operations. This year KJHK has more than 200 unpaid workers, the most in the station's history. James Baker, a senior from Dallas and a DJ at KJHK, said that the station's move from "the shack," a building to the northwest of Memorial SEE RADIO PAGE 3 CAMPUS New app helps promote peace in the Congo CONGO IS HOME TO OUR WORLD'S DEADLIEST WAR TAKE PHOTO TAKE PHOTO PUT YOUR FACE BEHIND PEACE IN CONGO IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com I WANT PEACE IN CONGO Even when it comes to ending a complex, decades-old war in central Africa, the saying still applies: there's an app for that. PARK SCHOOL OF FILM THEATER & CINEMAS PHOTOS COURTESY OF APPLE Student organizers for Falling Whistles, a campaign for peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), invited a touring troupe of members and a guest speaker from the DRC to introduce their app to students Wednesday on campus. The app. The app, available on iTunes, takes a photo that is sent directly to the White House. FW+Faces, is a photo petition asking the government for more attention to the Congo region of Africa. P. R. SMITH Yes Muya, a speaker for Falling Whistles, shares his story about growing up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Wednesday night. Muya is one of many people who are trying to get the United States involved in the Congo to help stop the war there. The name "Falling Whistles" came from the fact that forces in Congo would take children who were not strong enough to carry guns and arm them with whistles and send them to the front lines. The group now uses the whistle as a symbol of its protest against the war. "I instead of asking for CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN FW+Faces works by taking a photo of the user and imprinting it with the words "I want peace in Congo." Falling Whistles faxes that image to the U.S. Department of State. It is one example of a new trend in advocacy, as groups like Habitat for Humanity and Climate Justice have also turned to mobile devices and persuasive images to gain attention. FW+Faces is designed to work on iPhones and iPads, but, like other apps, it also works on desktop computers. Schaidle your signature, we're asking for your face," said Benjamin Fulfer, a touring member of the group from Memphis. By the time the group left Lawrence on Thursday, University students' faces were on their way to White House with a clear message. The group hopes to convince the Department of State to send a special envoy to the DRC and end the war. Congress passed legislation to appoint the special envoy in 2006, but the position has never been filled. At least 5.4 million people have died in a war that started in the DRC in 1988, according to the International Rescue Committee, a private relief agency. Although the war officially ended with a transitional government it 2003, the fighting has never stopped. The visit from Falling Whistles came days after President Obama announced the commitment of 100 U.S. troops to central Africa to support a battle against the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a guerrilla group accused of atrocities such as human rights violations including After enlisting students to pose for the photo petition at Wesco Beach, the group met in Smith Hall. Allen Schaidle, a sophomore from Metamora, IL, and a campus organizer for Falling Whistles, said he was hoping for more students in the audience. Fewer than 30 people attended, and some of rape and the use of child soldiers, according to the Associated Press. The first U.S. troops arrived in Uganda Wednesday and others are being sent to the Central African Republic, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the LRA has been active. The deployment is unusual, as the U.S. does not typically send troops to put down insurgencies in African nations, though some are stationed in Djibouti and have been sent to Somalia. those were from Kansas City and Northwest Missouri University in Marville, Mo. Yves Muya, the guest speaker, said he was not enthusiastic about the deployment of U.S. troops. "When we talk about peace, sending more arms we feel like it defeats the whole thing," he said. "But I'm sure they have their reasons to think it's a good thing." Muya, 29, was born in the DRC and travels with Falling Whistles to tell the story of how he fled violence in his home country at age 11 and survived in a refugee camp in Malawi. Between reminiscing about watching cartoons with his brothers and sisters or joking about being too skinny for competitive sports, he talked about going days without food and standing in line to obtain rations. "It's a very humiliating experience," he said. "It itks, as a kid. All you can think about is food." Muya told how he and his family escaped the camp and settled in South Africa, where the French speaking young man learned English and gained a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Los Angeles. armed with whistles and sent to the front lines of battles to make noise and draw fire. Additionally, Falling Whistles raises money by selling old-fashioned metal whistles to be worn around the neck as a symbol for being a whistleblower against injustice. Muya explained that the name Falling Whistles refers to the story of child soldiers in the DRC who, too small to carry weapons, were "The most fundamental thing in the U.S. is the freedom of speech." Muya said. "You guys can do something about it."

The 33-year-old woman made the plea Monday in Salt Lake City to two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. She faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing Dec. 5. Authorities say she had her daughter model in underwear for a man to whom she was offering to sell the girl's virginity for $10,000. She also took cellphone pictures of the girl and sent them to another man. The Associated Press isn't naming her to avoid identifying her daughter. MEXICO CITY Mexican President Felipe Calderon has signed a decree tightening regulations on day care centers, two years after a fire at a center in northern Mexico killed 49 children and injured 70. Calderon says the new rules will not allow centers within 50 yards of any facility that presents a fire risk or other hazard. The rules strengthen oversight and require centers to have emergency and disaster plans. It does not prohibit privately run centers, but requires them to be registered. Calderon said Sunday the decree aims to prevent a recurrence of "the most terrible of tragedies" — the fire at a center in the northern state of Sonora on June 5, 2009. BAMAKO, MALI Moammar Gadhafi's regime poured tens of billions of dollars into some of Africa's poorest countries. Even when he came to visit, the eccentric Libyan leader won admiration for handing out money to beggars on the streets. "Other heads of state just drive past here in their limousines. Gadhafi stopped, pushed away his bodyguards and shook our hands," said Cherno Diallo, standing Monday beside hundreds of caged birds he sells. "Gadhafi's death has touched every Malian, every single one of us." While Western powers heralded Gadhafi's demise, many Africans were gathering at mosques built with Gadhafi's money to mourn the man they consider an anti-imperialist martyr and benefactor.

BISMARCK, N.D. — One of seven oil companies charged with killing migratory birds during drilling operations has pleaded guilty. Under a plea agreement filed in federal court Monday, Slawson will pay $12,000 to a nonprofit wildlife group. The maximum penalty for each misdemeanor charge under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is six months in prison and a $15,000 fine. Six other oil companies have pleaded not guilty to charges that their oil waste pits killed birds. They were arraigned last month in U.S. District Court in Bismarck and have until Tuesday to file pretrial arguments. Associated Press STATE KC Planned Parenthood clinic case postponed OLATHE — A Kansas trial court judge postponed a criminal case against a Planned Parenthood clinic Monday, only days after the disclosure that the state health department's routine document shredding had destroyed copies of abortion reports later needed as evidence. Prosecutors received a two-week delay for a preliminary hearing scheduled to start Monday so they could determine whether they have enough evidence to go to trial. Abortion opponents have described the case in Johnson County District Court, filed in October 2007 but long delayed by legal disputes, as the first in the nation in which a prosecutor has charged a Planned Parenthood clinic with a crime. Planned Parenthood officials opposed any delays, but District Judge Stephen Tatum agree to give prosecutors time to see whether they can put together a case with other evidence.

PAGE 3 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011 "It's helped generate interest," said Baker, who has hosted hip-hop programs at the shack and KJHK's new studio. "We're getting a lot more diverse people." Parendi Birdie, a junior from Lawrence and a DJ for KJHK, is part of the station's surge of new student volunteers. She said that her experience with the station has provided a venue to display her creativity. But national press attention and more volunteers aren't the only new things at the station. The station has also revamped its website, KJHK.org, to include a calendar of local events, album reviews, program information and downloadable audio from its two news programs. "It's really expressive and I didn't really realize that it would be," Birdie said. The station's site averages about 200 unique visitors a day, which has contributed to KJHK's second consecutive year of increased ratings, according to Trebar. "We wanted fresh content something being uploaded on a daily basis," he said. "With this new site, it's designed from the get-go to be more dynamic and flexible." KJIK's listenership, which averages about 6,700 listeners on a daily to weekly basis, has increased more than four percent since 2010. John Zarr, a junior from Overland Park, said that he regularly listens to the station because of KJHK's diversity in content. "If I'm listening to the radio I usually go to KJHK first," he said. "They're going to have the variety — they're going to have songs that I know are not going to be on any other radio station."

A newspaper article in MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — The family has always been a more elastic body than the defenders of its narrowest definition would like to admit, and as science changes the face of procreation, and the Internet increases the flow of information, that body is stretching in new and unexpected ways. Directed by Jerry Rothwell (who made the equally open-hearted, unsentimental 2008 documentary "Heavy Load" about a developmentally disabled British pink band), it begins as the story of Joellen Marsh, who originally knew her father only as Donor 150. Marsh, around 20 when we meet her, is an ebullient, erudite and attractive young woman, and she provides the spine the story hangs on — even as it gathers from half a dozen other directions into a tale of mutual discovery and shared DNA. "Donor Unknown," which airs Sunday on PBS as part of "Independent Lens," looks at a particular group of people in a particular time — the half siblings anonymously fathered by a single sperm donor — but it's also a story of the general future: "And it's the beginning" are the last words spoken here. which she and half sister Danielle Pagano were featured came accidentally to the attention of their biological father, Jeffrey Harrison, a self-described "beach bum" living with four dogs and a pigeon in a semi-operational RV along Southern California's Venice Beach. After some thought, he made his identity known. The film follows Marsh as she goes to meet Harrison and some half siblings. Rothwell holds back some information — that Harrison believes that a "ruling elite" controls the weather, for instance — until late in the story so that you like him before you judge him. He's unconventional and perhaps a little lost, but he isn't crazy, nor is his hodgedge spirituality particularly radical.

CINEMA Box office domination MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE The gold standard for this is "Saw," which, for seven straight It was also the highest total for any October opening in history and a number that — heavens to Betsy — equaled the amounts for all the other films in the box-office top 10 ... combined. "Paranormals" ticket receipts this weekend put it on pace to easily top the $85-million cumulative total of the second movie and almost certainly the $107-million total of the first film as well. Many sequels lose steam by their third go-round. But Americans (and plenty of other people around the world) are seemingly more eager than ever to plunk down money to watch Katie get haunted, spooked and tormented. LOS ANGELES — By any measure, the numbers this weekend for "Paranormal Activity 3" were impressive. The low-budget horror prequel took in a whopping $54 million, the biggest debut in more than two months. Of course, this weekend only tells a small piece of the story. The larger play for "Paranormal" producers and studio Paramount Pictures lies with morphing the brand from a one-off, out-of-nowhere discovery two years ago into a long-running, durable franchise that serves as the holy grail for any movie studio. (Although there's no official word of a fourth movie, you can bet your last VHS tape there'll be one.)

Text jhawkdeals to 41242 or scan & send 40162895 Certainly "Paranormal" would seem well-positioned to carry on the "Saw" mantle: It has the brand name, the fan base and, now that "Saw" has wound down its run, the Halloween period to itself. Already the series is on track to take in a good deal more than the first three "Saw" movies. Octobers beginning in 2004, was one of the most popular of modern movie franchises. It was a triumph of the slow-but-steady variety — no film grossed more than $90 million, but, save for the sixth one, took in at least $45 million each time out, a solid feat in an era when big franchises often fly too close to the sun and burn up. But there are also some big distinctions between the showy splatter of Jigsaw and his victims and the haunted-house creeps of Katie and her family. Perhaps the biggest one is that "Paranormal" relies on the novelty of a format With "Saw," there was something ritualistic, even cathartic (in that torture-porn, excessive-violence sort of way) about watching characters get brutalized, a kind of cinematic candy corn. But "Paranormal" relies as much on narrative and the conceit of individual films, which is a lot less easy to churn out every year. That "Paranormal" is flourishing, particularly in the recently struggling world of horror, is a marvel. But creating a seven-film mainstay is hard, and one weekend, no matter how stupendous, is no guarantee that marvel will continue. — found footage — and novel formats tend to wear out their welcome pretty quickly, especially as the knockoffs start to fly.

WTF bro! Give the football team some credit. They did play better this year than last year vs. K-State. Rock Chalk Jawhakhs! Just saw a flock of white birds chasing a black bird. Bird racism needs to be stopped. If you still can't read a bus schedule do yourself a favor and drop out of college. Basketball! Quidditch! Let's settle down. - Men's Rowing One thing I've learned from college is that frat boys will wear however many sweaters it takes to still be able to wear those ridiculously short khakis. I tried to take advantage of my non-revenue sports fee, but apparently being better than every player on the team still won't get a man on the women's team. Say goodbye to Harry Potter? No. I won't. Long live team Potter! If you walk like you're in a relationship, talk like you're in a relationship, and act like you're in a relationship, you're in a relationship? Wrong, because girls are sketchy as people. Quidditch is the shidditch, enough said. That awkward moment when you realize one of the FFAs is about you. The frat that walks together to class stays together. To all those involved in the current school dispute, I think we've all forgotten the real enemy here: business majors. We will start staying for the entire football game when our football team stays for an entire game. My roommate gave a lofa. That's the second unmany thing he did today.

And improving the lives of others sometimes comes with sacrifices, but thanks to events like the University Blood Drive, the University community can and should change lives in an easy and economic way by donating blood. Last week's fall blood drive at the University was successful thanks to the help of students, faculty and staff. The Blood Drive Committee, which is still counting donations, was able to collect 687 productive units of blood, nearing their goal of 1100 productive units according to data as of 5 p.m. yesterday. Jennifer Green, donor recruitment representative for the Red Cross thought the KU Blood Drive had a good turnout. "I was very impressed that so many people came out on Thursday and Friday when the weather was so nice," Green said. "The students are truly committed to making a difference for people they know and people that they don't know." The next campus blood drive will be April 9-April 13. We hope people will take these opportunities to give blood to people in need. University students, staff and community members should contact the American Red Cross or Community Blood Center for dates and times of blood drives in their area. Check kublooddrive.com to find out about eligibility for donation. What some people don't know is that giving one pint of blood is a gift that can help up to three people. Donations are always needed because red blood cells only have a shelf life of up to 42 days, and a healthy donor can donate every 56 days. Another way to contribute is through plasma donation. According to the American Red Cross, during a donation, blood is drawn from one arm and channeled through a sterile, single-use collection set to an automated machine that collects plasma only, or a combination of plasma and platelet units. According to donating-plasma.org, human plasma is essential for certain therapies that treat patients with rare, chronic and often genetic diseases. Blood is a resource that hospitals depend on and donating is a small sacrifice for saving lives. And even though the KU blood drive has commenced, the need for blood is constant and any contribution is important for a healthy and reliable blood supply. WHAT ISSUES SHOULD WE TAKE A STAND ON THIS SEMESTER? - Stefanie Penn for Kansan Editorial Board Send your thoughts to vshanker® kansan.com to let the Editorial Board know. The tat-truth LIFESTYLES There are a lot of things you may do that cause regret later on in life. Very few of them last a lifetime. Eventually, you'll get over that one-night-stand or the time you puked on a girl at the Hawk in front of everybody. You may even be able to get that DUI off of your record after that night you just had to make a Taco Bell run. A tattoo, however, lasts a lifetime. Very few things you can do will stay with you every single day for the rest of your life. You can get a tattoo removed, but do you really want to endure more pain than the tattoo originally gave you? Obviously not everybody who gets tatted will regret it, but I've known a lot of people who do. By Jordan Gormley jgormley@kansan.com Some kids cannot wait until they are 18 so they can run to their local parlor and get inked. Some even have a parent sign a permission slip for them to do so as if it is as simple as using a parental note to get out of school for the afternoon. Each type of tattoo has its own identity, and if you get one, you'll carry that identity with you forever. THE SIGNIFICANT OTHER I'm sure you two were the cutest couple in high school. You probably even had plans to attend the same college. So you decided a heart with his or her nime inside would be a suitable tattoo to show how in love you really were, but then it happened. You broke up. Now you are only left with sad memories and a patch of ink that you need to get covered up before you hit the dating pool again. The "Tramp Stamp" Somehow, it got its name for a reason. This usually involves, flowers, tribal designs, or hummingbirds. I still can't figure out why someone would get a "lower back tattoo" after the stigma that has been attached to it. Maybe they think, "well, I'm not a tramp" or "it's really pretty!" Either way, it's similar to walking into a black and white banquet in a t-shirt; prepare to be judged. Might I suggest you get that "really pretty" design on a phone cover? At least you can get rid of that when you're 40. SLEEVES Nothing says "I want to work in a biker bar for the rest of my life" like getting full sleeves. Hopefully the two hundred needles that went into this work of art were sanitized well. There is nothing funny about infection. Maybe you're going for the "I was coloring Easter eggs and fell in the dye" look, but go for an artificial sleeve first and decide whether it's for you or not. GENERIC INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE Have you ever heard a quote from a random famous person that you thought applied directly to your life? Evidently, a lot of people have. Then they decide that quote would go well on their shoulder or chest. While it may motivate you when you look in the mirror every morning, I'm sure writing that quote on a white board would achieve the same goal. Want an example? "Only God can judge me." This is pure irony because everyone who reads your tat will assume that you think you're Tupac. Remember, he got shot. — Jordan J. Gormley is a senior in political science and social psychology. Follow him on Twitter @jigormley. Now I realize that many people are happy with the work they got done. After all, it still means something to them. I'm not insulting people for getting inked; I'm simply giving prospective inkees a heads up. However, if you wake up when you're a 40-year-old with giant wings and a tribal design across your shoulders and shake your head, remember who did his best to look out for you. COMIC Ok, they've agreed - the remaining debates will all be cancelled. They'll be replaced by a winner-take-all pie-throwing contest. A GOOD PLAN IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A GREAT ARM. A GOOD PLAN 电话 RELATIONSHIPS Nicholas Sambaluk Distance might be worth it It's not unusual for students to be tempted into long-distance relationships (or LDRs, as I like to call them), especially during their time away at college. We may be quick to toss them aside, but LDRs can actually be worth it. They aren't always destined for failure. After all, the only element that makes LDRs different from traditional relationships is the distance. They're still built on the fundamentals of every healthy bond: communication, trust, communication, attraction, communication and respect. Did I mention communication? It's vital that partners take every opportunity to visit each other. Travel puts a strain on your time and your wallet, but it's worth it because the bond is special. And with that comes the benefits of LDRs. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, so it makes you appreciate your partner more. The difference is, though, in LDRs both partners have to keep in mind that they must talk about their future fairly early to determine if one is willing to relocate for love. Therefore, the irony of making an LDR work is removing its distance altogether. And I should know I've been there, done that. I'll always remember Feb. 20, 2008. My first serious boyfriend dumped me after telling me he couldn't afford out-of-state tu- tition at Kansas and decided to remain studying in Arizona. We had planned on him relocating for months, and then like that, it was just plain over. By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com And with that I swore off LDRs forever. My heart shattered. My selfesteem did too. But in October of that next year, I reconnected with an old crush after he confessed attraction to me. Then he proceeded to tell me that he had just moved to Chicago and would remain there for at least four years. Seriously? Magically though, at that very moment my will to fend off LDRs suddenly disappeared. I fell hard and fast. By January we were dating. He was still in Chicago. But we kept it going anyway, and I was desperately trying to justify another LDR to myself in the meantime. And I, Lawrence. Within weeks he started talking about being unhappy in Chicago and flirted with the idea of moving to Kansas City. I was thrilled, and he made it a reality that May. Things were good for awhile, but after only a couple of weeks into his return, we split. We were the most incompatible couple the world had ever seen. Simply put, we were a hot mess. And I was hurt. Again. So then another relationship was over. Again. And then we dated again and had the same issues again and broke up again. I still disappointed that my first LDR never made it past LD status, but I'm satisfied because the second one did. My second LDR ended fair and square because of irreconcilable differences, not location. And I'm okay with that. But to this day I regret neither relationship. Because of that, I wouldn't necessarily toss aside a potential one in the future because if you think it's worth it, it is. Finally, every relationship is a game of chance, and LDRs are no different. It's true that LDRs are bound to be emotionally stressful and sexually frustrating, but when you consider their benefits, you may find that they can work. So it's for these reasons that I advise you that when it comes to dating long distance, don't knock it 'til you try it. Because after all, dating is like playing the lottery, and you never know when you could be trashing a winning ticket. Keith is a senior in secondary English education from Wichita.

This is his first entry. Dispatches from Reed Reed How do I write a basketball diary? They never taught me this while I was at Kansas! But my friends at Ascend Book M. R. CAMPBELL proposed the opportunity for me to let KU fans know about what is going on in my life, and how different—and at times difficult—it is to take yourself to a new country, far away from your comfort zone, and play a game you love in front of fans that you have never played in front of. It's very different than playing on the road at, say, Mizzou, Oklahoma or Texas. At first I was skeptical, like any basketball player being asked to write outside of school, but after further examination I thought it would be a great way for people to get to know me, learn some things about European basketball, and also learn some of my random takes on various topics. Currently, I am playing for Voo Verviers-Pepinster in Belgium. I was notified that I would be playing in Belgium on August 17th and left on a plane four days later. Upon arrival in Belgium with my wife, Jessica, we soon learned we were going to be challenged with some real interesting changes in our lives. When our plane landed we went straight from the airport to the team's gym in Verviers. After a quick physical evaluation, I participated in practice that morning at 10. Can anyone say "jet lag"? Try focusing on a basketball hoop and dribbling a ball when your legs are begging you to go to sleep and rest! That was my first real introduction into European basketball. The rest of that week was a blur for me. Sleep...practice...eat... sleep ... practice ... eat ... sleep ... and then start it over again. Kind of like a rat inside a maze. After the first week I had finally adjusted to the seven-hour time difference and was getting more comfortable in my new surroundings. Now it was time to get down to earning a living in a far-off land. Stay tuned. HALLOWEEN COFFEE SALE SPOOKY GREAT DEAL $3 OFF ALL 1LB BAGS IN STOCK!

Matt Galloway THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011 PAGE 7 QUOTE OF THE DAY "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." Michael Jordan KU Athletics FACT OF THE DAY Kansas has lost 10 road games in a row dating back to 2009. --- TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Q: How many games in a row has Kansas given up 40 or more points? A: Six KU Athletics MORNING BREW Snyder belongs among elite B ill Snyder is one of the greatest coaches in college football history and deserves to be in the College Football Hall of B Fame once his illustrious coaching career concludes. What he has accomplished at Kansas State University has been nothing short of spectacular. From 1939-1988, Kansas State carried the torch for football futility, amassing 136 victories in 547 games, which means they only won about 25 percent of their contests during that 50-year span. Kansas State was, quite simply, one of the worst college football programs. By C.J. Matson cmatson@kansan.com Enter Snyder. Snyder audaciously accepted the head coaching position at Kansas State in 1989, arguably the toughest job in college football at the time. In a basketball-crazy state, it is difficult to cultivate football success in Kansas, especially in Manhattan, a city located far from the densely populated areas in the state. Trying to promote Kansas State University, its abysmal football program and the city of Manhattan to football recruits was a daunting task for Snyder when he began his coaching tenure at Kansas State. Nobody wanted to spend their time playing football and attending school at Kansas State University because the football program stunk, the school is in the middle of nowhere and Manhattan was a low-profile town that didn't appeal to players seeking glamour. But Snvder had faith. Snyder had faith in himself, the Kansas State football program and the city of Manhattan. He knew he could foster football success if he could persuade players, his coaching staff, the Kansas State athletic department and fans to believe in him. During Snyder's two tenures at Kansas State, the Wildcats are 155-80-1, a winning percentage more than 65 percent. Snyder has emphasized running the football effectively, playing stiff, tenacious defense, and making a commitment to special teams because he knows that if they excel in those three facets, victory is inevitable. His teams have been successful because his players buy into his philosophy and become confident in themselves and the team. Snyder's philosophy has bred success in football and outside of the sport. The players embrace Snyder's blue collar approach because Snyder knows what it takes to achieve success. Snyder is a confident, motivated man who loves to teach. Snyder demands that players perform to the best of their ability both on and off the field. His mentality resonates with his players and football fans, which is why he is one of the most revered men in college football. Snyder's ability to raise an appalling football program from the ashes and transform it into a national contender compares to what Bobby Bowden accomplished at Florida State, and even though Florida State had more victories and championships than Kansas State, Snyder's ability to turnaround the team was more impressive than Bowden's. Bowden was in an advantageous position because the state of Florida produces an influx of elite football recruits and because the city of Tallahassee and Florida State University appeal to football players. Bill Snyder does not have those luxuries, yet he has been able to improve Kansas State's football program immensely without top-notch recruiting classes to compare to Florida State's. Under Snyder, the Wildcats have appeared in 12 bowl games and have won six of them. In 2003, Kansas State upset heavily favored Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game 35-7 and clinched a spot in the 2004 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Snyder is also 15-1 against Kansas. At 72 years old, Snyder is in the twilight of his coaching career, and he knows that he cannot coach forever. There is at least one man who would absolutely love to succeed Snyder at Kansas State once he retires: his former assistant, Mark Mangino. — Edited by Laura Nightengale WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Season opener pushed back to Nov.2 KU Athletics offered no explanation about the change.

Although the SEC offers stability and financial security, Missouri will regret leaving the Big 12 when all's said and done. Can you blame Missouri for getting hypnotized by the bright, glamorous lights of the SEC? To be fair, this is the conference that has won the last five BCS National Championships and sends more players to the NFL than any other conference. But let's be realistic; Missouri is not Alabama, LSU or Florida. Missouri is a football program that did not start seeing consistent success until 2003 and as much as Missouri wants to believe that it can compete for SEC titles, the Tigers have never won an outright Big 8 or Big 12 title. Missouri's lone Big 8 championship was a shared title with Nebraska in 1969. Kansas fans know better than most about the difficulties of sustaining success in football. The 2008 Orange Bowl win over Virginia Tech seems like a distant memory considering the current state of the football program. The upgraded competition on a weekly basis in the SEC could ultimately send the Tigers to bottom-feeder status along with Vanderbilt and Ole Miss. Missouri has to consider that much of its success is due to head coach Gary Pinkel's recruiting prowess in Texas. Missouri's football team currently has 35 players on roster from Texas, but Pinkel can expect that pipeline to shrink considerably if the school moves to the SEC. Yes, the Aggies will provide the SEC with a Texas school, but merely Texas &AM's presence in the SEC is not reassuring to families that want to see their sons play annually. Texas A&M is expected to be in the SEC West Division, while Missouri will reportedly join the SEC East. As a result, it could be years until the Tigers ever step foot in College Station. Missouri will also regret turning its back on the 120-year rivalry series with Kansas. It's been well-documented that the Kansas-Missouri rivalry will end if Missouri leaves the Big 12, and the Tigers will find themselves lacking a true rival in the SEC. Not only do long-standing, heated rivalries excite fans, but it also provides a financial boost to the rival universities and communities. Though it rarely gets the national attention of the Red River Rivalry or Michigan-Ohio State, the KU-MU rivalry is one of the most intense and culturally significant rivalries in the country. It is unfortunate that Missouri is so willing to throw that away. In a conference built on the foundation of tradition, Missouri will lack exactly that in the SEC. Edited by Ben Chipman BREAKING DOWN BIG 12 FOOTBALL See where teams in the conference stand this week PAGE 6 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL GETS A LATER START TO SEASON PAGE 7 REFORMING A PROGRAM STAYING DETERMINED MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com In Turner Gill's four years as the head coach at Buffalo, he had one winning season. So the impressive numbers on Gill's résumé as a head coach when Kansas hired him was not his overall record with the Bulls, but the impressive turnaround he oversaw of a program that rivals.com called one of the three or four worst programs in the nation when he took over. The thinking at Kansas when Gill was hired was that he could achieve similar success in Lawrence. That he could prevent the free fall of a program that had been at a peak just two years before. And when Gill was asked during Monday's Big 12 Media Teleconference to compare his experience rebuilding at Kansas to what he experienced at Buffalo, he shed a little bit of light on the two very difficult situations. "Well I think there are a little bit of some similarities, in that were still trying to find ways to continue to get our players to execute and understand what we're trying to get accomplished offensively and defensively." Gill said. Yet the improvement in his Buffalo teams between his first and second year was substantial. He took a team that went 8-49 under its previous coach, Jim Hoffer, and led them to a five-in second season. Even in 2006, Gill's first year at Buffalo, his 2-10 team set a record for the most points scored in a season at Buffalo since it had become a Division I program in 1999. His second year showed clear improvement and Gill was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year. In his third season, the Bulls went 8-5 and defeated No. 12 Ball State to win the MAC Championship and go to Buffalo's first ever bowl game. So while Gill said there are some similarities between his Buffalo years and his two thus far at Kansas, the improvement Buffalo showed on the field during Gill's first two seasons with the Bulls has not been similar to what Kansas has showed in his first season and a half playing home games at Memorial Stadium. "I think we've made some improvement on the offensive side, some improvement on special teams, but defense unfortunately has been the biggest area where we have just not been able to make that improvement." Gill said. PLAYSUN 38 And with Kansas athletic director Sheaon Zenger's recent comments saying that the team's recent performance is not one that any Kansas fan, alumni, player, coach or administrator should accept, it may turn out to be those defensive struggles that end Gill's tenure at Kansas. His defense is on pace to record the most points allowed in one season. In the Jayhawks' seven games this season, they have been outscored by a total of 142 points, and even Gill said the 59-21 loss to No. 12 Kansas State was a step in the wrong direction. But the Jayhawks have also played the toughest schedule in the nation, making it difficult for much improvement to be seen. It can be difficult to tell what direction a program is moving in when every team it's faced is undefeated, like the Jayhawks have. Gill said losing defensive coordinator Carl Torbush has been part of the reason the defense has not been able to improve as quickly as anticipated. At Buffalo, Gill had ample time to change things around for the better, and it remains to be seen whether Gill will get that time at Kansas. MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN "It's a process and I feel very confident still that we're going to get some things done," Gill said. "It's just going to take some time to be able to move forward." Coach Turner Gill watches as senior tight end Time Beire pulls in a reception against Kansas State. The Jayhawks lost the game and are now 2-5 for the season, yet team members remain optimistic. Edited by Sarah Champ WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Junior captain ready to lead team KANSAS Junior guard Monica Engelman lays the ball up during a scrimmage Friday at Allen Fieldhouse. Engelman is expected to be a key leader for this year's team. MIKE GIINNOF/KANSAN KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Almost every top 10 list from the 2010-2011 Kansas women's basketball season features junior guard Monica Engelman. She led the team in three point percentage, was second in scoring and second in steals. Engelman became a staple on the court for the Jayhawks, starting in all 34 games last season. This year, she enters the season as an experienced veteran for the Jayhawks and serves as one of the team's three captains. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that she has come to count on Engelman for consistency since her freshman year when Engelman filled in for the injured Daniel McCray. "She got thrown into the fire when Danielle went down Monica's freshman year," Henrickson said. "She went from eight or nine minutes to playing 30 minutes a game so she was probably a little more prepared for her sophomore year because of that experience." Engelman said she appreciates the opportunity to have played so many games and she values the experience that she gained. "Coming into my junior year, I have something to look back on," Engelman said. "I know what I should be able to do and I have confidence." Engelman logged 1,114 minutes of play last season which ranks seventh in program history behind names like Lynette Woodard, McCray and Lynn Pride who all played professionally after graduating from Kansas. In the 67 games she has played at Kansas she has started 47 of them and played more than 30 minutes in 29 of them. She has also scored more than 10 points in 33 of her games and has led the team 11 times in scoring. Engelman had to step up last season as a sophomore and show that she could handle the pressure of leading the team when point guard Angel Goodrick sat out nine games with another knee injury. "It gave her) the responsibility and the sense of urgency that she had because she couldn't make any mistakes," Henrickson said. "From that standpoint it has allowed her to learn and to grow and from a confidence standpoint as well," Henrickson said. 1 Engelman faces a new challenge this year, but it comes from the court itself. The three-point line, where Engelman finds success, was moved back one foot to match-up with the men's line. This poses a unique test for her league leading three point percentage in conference play. She ranks tenth all time in three-point percentage after shooting 39.5 percent from behind the arch and in conference play improved her statistics to shoot 43.1 percent. "I think I already was shooting where the new line is at but my toes were on the line so I have to take a step back," Engelman said. "It changes the game and makes it more challenging." In addition to adjusting her shot, Engelman is working on broadening her range and changing her game style. "I think I have proven that I can shoot the ball, but to grow my game I need to put the ball on the floor," Engelman said. — Edited by Ben Chipman 1 Volume 124 Issue 45 kansan.com Wednesday, October 26, 2011 WEST VIRGINIA TO JOIN BIG 12 PAGE 10 Awareness week includes Twilight PAGE 6 A FIGHTING CHANCE ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN OSITATIS HANSIEKAS Jeremy Christiansen and his daughter Avery pose for a photo while mom Jenn spoke about Avery's battle with cancer.

She was immediately admitted to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where doctors were able to remove the tumor. Avery was then referred to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., for more evaluation. Avery, along with her parents Jenn and Jeremy Christiansen, from Shawnee, were the special guests at Up'til Dawn's annual letter-writing party. "All of her medicine was paid for.

Associated Press 107 MIRUI 2000 Dole Human Development Center 1000 Sunnyside Avenue Lawrence, Kan., 68645 NEWS AROUND THE WORLD --- TORONTO Canada's Conservative government introduced legislation Tuesday to scrap a controversial law that requires the registration of rifles and shotguns. Canada has long required registration of hand guns, but the long-run registry law passed in 1995 faced bitter opposition from rural Canada, the Conservative party's base, which considered it an overreaction to the problem of urban crime. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said they don't want laws targeting law-abiding citizens such as hunters. Police and victims groups are voicing opposition, but the Conservatives have a new majority in Parliament after national elections in May, and can now scrap the law. Prime Minister Stephen Harper previously tried to kill it, but his bill was narrowly defeated in the last Parliament. TUNIS. TUNISIA The moderate Islamist party that appears to have won Tunisia's landmark elections was in talks with rivals Tuesday about forming an interim coalition government to lead the birthplace of the Arab Spring through its transition to democracy. Partial results released supported the Ennahada party's claims that it had won the most seats in a 217-member assembly tasked with running the country and writing its new constitution. But results so far indicate the Islamists had failed to win an outright majority, meaning a coalition must be formed. Ennahda's ability to win an election as well as work with other groups will be closely watched in the Arab world, where other Islamist parties are to compete in elections soon. Tunisia has a strong secular tradition, and Ennahda officials promised a broad-based coalition. GENEVA An intensive round of talks between the United States and North Korea over Pyongyang's nuclear program ended Tuesday without a deal to resume formal negotiations, but top diplomats from both sides reported progress on the steps that will be needed to finally get there. The U.S. special envoy to North Korea, Stephen Boswost, told reporters just after the two-day talks wrapped up that there had been progress without agreeing to a formal resumption of negotiations, either bilaterally on in the so-called six-party form that also includes China, Japan, Russia and South Korea. Nevertheless, he called it a useful meeting whose tone was "positive and generally constructive." In Washington, State Department officials said it could be weeks or months before North Korea responds to issues the U.S. raised during the Geneva talks. FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN A moderate earthquake has shaken the northeastern Japanese prefecture to where the much more massive earthquake and tsunami touched off the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl earlier this year. The 5.2-magnitude quake struck Fukushima Prefecture overnight just after a 2 a.m. local time Wednesday (1700 GMT Tuesday). Its epicenter was on the coast near the town of iwaki, 115 miles (186 km) north of Tokyo. Fukushima was severely hit by the quake and tsunami in March that left more than 21,000 people dead or missing. The Wednesday quake was about 70 miles (120 km south) of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear facility. NATIONAL Another 5.3 quake later Wednesday hit 262 miles (423 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo, off the Japan coast. Megaton bomb era ends after razing AMARILLO, Texas — The last of the nation's biggest nuclear bombs, a Cold War relic 600 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, was dismantled Tuesday in what one energy official called a milestone in President Barack Obama's mission to rid the world of nuclear weapons. ASSOCIATED PRESS Workers in Texas separated the roughly 300 pounds of high explosives inside from the special nuclear material — uranium — known as the pit. The work was done outside of public view for security reasons, but explosives from a bomb taken apart earlier were detonated as officials and reporters watched from less than a mile away. Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman called the disassembly "a milestone accomplishment." The completion of the dismantling program is a year ahead of schedule, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, and aligns with Obama's goal of reducing the number of nuclear weapons. Put into service in 1962, when Cold War tensions peaked during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the B53 weighed 10,000 pounds and was the size of a minivan. Many of the bombs were disassembled in the 1980s, but a significant number remained in the U.S. arsenal until they were retired from the stockpile in 1997. The B53's disassembly ends the era of big megaton bombs, said Hans Kristensen, a spokesman for the Federation of American Scientists. The biggest nuclear bomb in the nation's arsenal now is the 1.2-megaton B83, he said. The B53 was 9 megatons. The 1.5-kiloton bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of World War II killed as many as 140,000 people. The B53s' size helped compensate for their lack of accuracy, Kristensen said. Today's bombs are smaller but more precise, reducing the amount of collateral damage, he said. Kristensen said the Obama administration shouldn't boast too much about dismantling the B53 when its arsenal of active nuclear warheads has been reduced by only 10 in the past seven months and Russia's arsenal has grown by 29. The two nations signed a treaty in December to reduce their arsenals. Since the B53 was made using older technology by engineers who have since retired or died, developing a disassembly process took time. Engineers had to develop complex tools and new procedures to ensure safety. The plant is the nation's only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility. Tuesday was the first time in 18 years media were allowed into secure places there. Hallways in one building had pictures of nuclear blasts from tests hanging on the walls. Riding in a bus one could see areas in the 16,000-acre facility, one of the nation's most secure sites, where plutonium pits and other weapons materials are stored. "We knew going in that this was going to be a challenging project, and we put together an outstanding team with all of our partners to develop a way to achieve this objective safely and efficiently," said John Woolery, general manager of the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, where the bomb was taken apart. The B53's pit will be kept there temporarily, Pantex spokesman Greg Cunningham said. Meanwhile, the remaining non-nuclear material and components will be processed, which includes sanitizing, recycling and disposal, the National Nuclear Security Administration said last fall when it announced the Texas plant's role in the B53 dismantling. .

"Overall, the information provided to the bidders and the time allotted to prepare a proposal makes it nearly impossible to properly evaluate and price a proposal based on objective, comparable metrics," the response read in part. Montgomery said he believes Apogee sold the University on its services before the bidding process began, and the contract was designed for Apogee from the beginning. He said he has asked the Uni versity for the opportunity to compete with Apogee for business in the residential housing as well, but was turned down by Barry Swanson, Assistant Vice Provost. Jack Martin, Director of Strategic Communications for the University, said the contract was offered in the standard bidding process and that vendors did not need to be invited in order to bid for them. In this case, he said, Montgomery's firm did not bid for the contract. But Montgomery said he was surprised to learn of the contract with Apogee last year, as he had offered Internet service to the University in 2007. He said John Louis, the director of Information Technology at the time, told him that no contracts would be offered and the University would continue the system it had in place. Montgomery said he hopes through lobbying elected representatives, to generate enough interest that the University might reconsider. To that end, he has gathered support from some local elected officials who said they would prefer to see money stay in the local economy. On Sept. 30, State Representative Paul Davis wrote to Assistant Vice-Provost Barry Swanson, asking that Kansas firms be included in the bidding process. County Commissioner Nancy Thellman also wrote to Swanson to question whether Apogee's services were adequate and ask that local firms be allowed to compete for contracts in student housing. The city commission will hear the results of the study in their next meeting Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. - Edited by Jonathan Shorman KANSAS CITY Kemper to be razed KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Forty years ago R. Crosby Kemper Jr. donated some land in Kansas City's west bottoms and provided funding for what would become Kemper Arena, named in honor of his father, who had just died. ASSOCIATED PRESS On Tuesday, Kemper and his son Mariner Kemper were among several people urging the city to tear down the massive building and replace it with a new equestrian and agricultural center that's better suited to the needs of the American Royal, Kansas City's premier annual livestock show. "Let's stop holding onto the past and living in the past and let's build for the future," Mariner Kemper, a member of the American Royal board, told The Kansas City Star. American Royal leaders said it makes financial sense to get rid of Kemper Arena, which once was the city's top venue for sporting events and concerts before the new Sprint Center was built downtown. These days, the arena sees little activity beyond events connected to the American Royal. Dave Fowler, chairman of the American Royal board, said the city has 34 years left on its 50-year lease with the Royal, which means the city is obligated to keep Kemper up for its events. The city still owes $10 million on a $23 million expansion project in 1997, and there is about $20 million in deferred maintenance needed for the city to fulfill its lease agreement. Among its more notable events over the years, Kemper was host to several NCAA basketball tournament regionals, and in 1988 hosted the Final Four, where Kansas beat Oklahoma. The arena also was home to the Kansas City Kings before the team left for Sacramento, Calif. On top of that, Kemper Arena is losing about $1 million a year. The Kempers joined other American Royal board members, city council members and other civic leaders to endorse the idea of tearing the arena down to make room for a 5,000-seat coliseum and facility tailored to year-round livestock and horse shows, in addition to the Royal's annual barbecue and festival events. Cost of the new facility is estimated at $70 million, including $50 million in new construction, $10 million for demolition and upgrades to the existing American Royal complex, and $10 million to pay the outstanding Kemper debt. NATION Mariner Kemper said the arena has outlived its useful life, since the city can't support two big arenas. Kemper Arena has been losing events since the Sprint Center opened in 2007. The Kempers said their foundation would try to raise about $10 million. It's unclear where the rest of the money would come from. Judge denies request in Arizona shooting case U. S. District Judge Larry Burns wrote in his ruling that 23-year-old Jared Lee Loughner is being forced to take psychotropic drugs at a Missouri prison facility because he poses a danger to himself. A federal judge on Tuesday turned down a request by lawyers for the Tucson shooting rampage suspect to hold a special hearing regarding his forced medication. So far, the decision to medicate Loughner has been made by prison officials at the Springfield, Mo., facility where experts are trying to make him psychologically fit to stand trial. Loughner's defense attorneys had argued that the issue should be up to a judge and wanted Burns to consider the matter. Loughner has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges stemming from the Jan. 8 shooting in Tucson that killed six people and injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others. Loughner has been found to be mentally unfit for trial, but his treating psychologist has said his condition has improved since he has been given medication. In late September, Burns ruled that it's probable that Loughner will be made mentally fit and extended his four-month stay in Missouri by another four months. Also this week, prosecutors asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a filing late Monday to reject requests by Loughner's lawyers to halt his forced medication and rescind his stay at the Springfield facility. That was in response to a filing by Loughner's lawyers last week. They told the appeals court that Burns failed to fully consider possible negative side effects from his forced medication or put a limit on his future dosage. Associated Press CAMPUS University to make faculty work public Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access Monday to renew its promise to make scholarly work available. The policy requires Kansas faculty to publish their work to a public database. Instead of having to purchase journals, the public can now read Kansas faculty members' work for free. Scholarly communications librarian Ada Emmett said the old system limited access to faculty work. "The scholarly journal articles that faculty at Kansas publish are going to be accessible to people who don't have subscriptions to that scholarly literature," Emmett said. "So that's going to be the citizens of Kansas, high schoolers, junior colleges and people at colleges and universities around the world." The University was one of the first American universities to sign the declaration. "This declaration kind of says to everyone. 'We are going to try and take these following steps to open that access up as wide as possible,'" Emmett said. In 2009, the University created a faculty open access policy. The University is the first public American university to requires its faculty to publicly publish its work. "Harvard, MIT and Stanford faculty had already made this policy amongst themselves," she said. Breanna McCarthy CAMPUS Loan advice available for students with debt As 2011 comes to an end, the nation will see a large amount of debt for students, with $1 trillion in loans outstanding. For most students, the debt for individual graduates reaches between $25,000 and $30,000. Most students need to take out a few student loans to support themselves while they're in college. However, Leticia Gradington with Student Money Management Services said there are a few steps students can take to minimize the impact of those loans. "Get in touch with student money management services," Gradington said. "I think my biggest tagline with any student is, 'Live like a college student now so you don't have to when you graduate,' and we engage the students in their finances." To avoid defaulting on student loans after graduation, Gradington also said there are a few steps students can take as well. "When you graduate, you've got great superiors, you've got deferments, you've got forbearances, things like that, that actually are an umbrella for your student loans." she said. Gradington also said it's important to make a plan early so students can get out of debt as quickly as possible after commencement. Monisha Bruner LET THE CREATIVITY FLOW.

Associated Press EDUCATION Students protest vegetarian rumors There were protests and counterprotests last week at the prestigious women's college in Northampton, stogans pro and con written on walkways, and personal criticism of the manager of dining services. The rumor that Smith College was going entirely vegetarian, and that it would only buy food from local growers, started a ruckus on the school's Massachusetts campus. A groundskeeper found the man screaming for help the next morning. Firefighters cut the chains off the swing and took him to the hospital, where a cast cutter was used to remove the seat. A 21-year-old Northern California man was left hanging at a playground swing set overnight after he got stuck in the diaper-like seat for nine hours. Valeije police said the man made a $100 bet with his friends that he could fit into a child's swing at Blue Rock Springs Park on Friday night. With the help of liquid laundry detergent, he managed to slide his legs into the seat. Professor Jay Garfield tells The Boston Globe the prank was a way to liven up a dry topic. He and professor Jim Henle have started false rumors in the past. Authorities said that he got stuck and his friends took off. ODD NEWS Man in park swing stuck for nine hours It turns out it was a hoax, cooked up by two professors as part of their introductory class in logic.

EDITORIAL Students should reconsider unlimited plans When we hear something is "unlimited," we tend to assume it's the best option. You can get more bang for your buck, more fodder for the dollar. So when KU Dining Services introduced two new meal plans, Rock Chalk Unlimited and Jayhawk Unlimited, it was hard for students to resist. Out of about 3,400 students who purchased a dining plan, 53 percent are signed up for unlimited meals. But students need to take a hard look at how much they really eat at the dining halls and if the unlimited meal plans are worth it. Breaking down just the dining hall meal plans (excluding KU Cuisine Cash), the Blue Basic plan is a total $1,349 per semester for 10 meals per week. Considering students use the dining halls about 15 weeks during the semester, it amounts to $8.99 per meal. Using the same approach, the Crimson Flex plan, $1,590 for 200 meals per semester, is $7.95 per meal. In the unlimited plans, dining hall meals are $1,649 for one semester. If a student eats 200 meals in a semester, or a little more than 13 meals per week, the unlimited plans cost students $8.24 per meal — 29 cents per meal more than the Crimson plan. But standing it next to the Blue Basic meal is even more telling. Compared to the Blue Basic's $8.99 per meal, if a student eats on average 10 meals per week, each meal on an unlimited plan would cost $10.99 per meal, or two dollars more. The key factor in deciding the best meal plan for you is the amount of meals you eat in one week. The average college student's diet is often devoid of breakfast, while late-night pizzas and sub sandwiches end up being a third or fourth meal. Students are cashstrapped as it is in this economy, and the University's dining food isn't considered the crème de la crème. Students often eat dining hall meals along with other vendors and restaurants. But all students are different. We suggest you count how many meals you eat in one week. If you eat at the dining halls 10 or less times per week, the Blue Basic plan is the best option. If you eat 10 to 13 meals per week in the halls, more money is saved with the Crimson plan. And if you eat more than that, either of the unlimited plans will work best. Fronting the extra money for an unlimited plan may not seem like a big deal, especially considering the added luxury of not having to worry about finishing your meals before the week or semester is done. But depending on your eating habits, you could be losing up to $600 in meals every year with an unlimited plan. Figure out which plan fits best for you and save your valuable college money. Vikaas Shanker for Kansan Editorial Board AWARENESS Domestic violence an issue in college By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com Domestic violence has been in the local news a lot lately, thanks to a game that was played in Topeka between the county and the city over who would take on the costs and responsibility of domestic abuse cases. The city of Topeka "won" that battle, but domestic abuse victims are the ones who really lost in this process. The district attorney will now be deciding which domestic violence cases to prosecute on a case-by-case basis. Though these cases will be assessed carefully, this potentially arbitrary process of prioritizing cases means some will be "worth" prosecuting and some will not. This is a disservice to all domestic abuse victims. Though the spotlight has been on Topeka lately, it is important this week to acknowledge and remember the prevalence of domestic violence on university campuses. This week marks the third annual Domestic Violence Awareness Week, created by student groups at the University to increase education about and recognition of domestic abuse. Domestic violence, sometimes also called intimate partner violence, is when one partner in an intimate relationship exercises "a pattern of coercive control" over the other partner, as defined by the Willow Domestic Violence Center website. This can take the form of physical, mental, emotional. verbal, sexual or other types of abuse. Often people think of domestic violence as something that happens to married partners and, based on representations in the media, downplay dating violence in young people. In a college setting, however, domestic violence occurs far more than is usually recognized. The Feminist Majority Foundation reported in 2005 that 32 percent of college students are domestic violence victims. One reason domestic violence is so common in college is simply because of the traditional student age. The highest rate of domestic violence occurs against women from ages 16 to 24, according to a study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 1998. In 2007, Kansas State University issued a press release in which Sandra Stith, a domestic violence expert at the University, identified problems such as stress, inability to control anger, and very intense relationships as common triggers for domestic violence in college. It is also important to remember, especially in the university setting, that domestic violence does not just happen in long-term, exclusive, male-female relationships. And women are not always the victims. The abuse can occur in any type of intimate relationship, and men are also susceptible to being the victim. One in four women will be abused in an intimate relationship during her lifetime; the same is true for one in nine men, says the National Domestic Violence Hotline. If you are in a relationship and your partner makes you feel bad about yourself, it is important to evaluate how you are being treated and, if you feel you are being abused, seek the necessary help to remove yourself from the abusive environment. If you are worried a friend is in an abusive relationship, it is vital that you talk to someone with expertise so you can help your friend in a safe way. It is important not to DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN KANSAS "Every 28 minutes a women is beaten by an intimate partner in Kansas.

MOVIES Twilight Zone could use a refreshing makeover Every decade or so, Hollywood gets the itch to remake "The Twilight Zone." But none of the various adaptations of the classic science-fiction show have ever panned out, but like the slain mobster in the 1962 episode "Dead Man's Shoes", it keeps rising from the grave. For what started as a mildly popular sci-fi show with incredibly By Lou Schumaker. lschumaker@kansan.com Twilight Zone" has proven both incredibly resilient and weirdly elusive. The most recent attempt to revive the franchise is a film produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. I have a deep, abiding love for "The Twilight Zone." I'm not sure when exactly it started, but in high school, I began to watch the show whenever the SyFy channel — or, as it was called then, the Sci-Fi channel — would run a "Twilight Zone" marathon. I became obsessed with Rod Serling's opening and closing narration and even went so far as to read the plot of every episode on Wikipedia. Eventually, I did what every teenager does and dropped more than a hundred dollars — a fortune to a 16-year-old — on a boxed set of the series and watched it religiously. The show consists of an impressive 156 episodes. And 92 of them were written by Serling himself. Some were good, some were bad, all were as subtle as a frying pan to the back of the head. As great as I think the show is, it is by no means perfect and I would love to see other filmmakers try to improve on Serling's formula. No one ever seems to get it right, no matter. Currently, only three things are really known about the most recent incarnation: 1. It will be helmed by "Cloverfield" director Matt Reeves and writer Jason Rothenberg, whose sole writing credit on IMDb. com is some made-for-TV movie called "Body Politic". 2. The film will feature a single story. 3. It will suck. The last point is admittedly my own snap judgment, but I've got reason to not expect much from this new film. The previous attempt to turn the series into a film was an anthology helmed by Steven Spielberg that, like the original series, performed only well enough to not be called a failure. The film opens with Dan Akroyd and Albert Brooks driving and talking about their favorite episodes of the series, presumably hoping the audiences' goodwill towards those stories would transfer over to the film itself. The prologue ends when Dan Akroyd asks "Wanna see something really scary?" and then transforms into a monster that looks less like a monster and more like an old man. The first revival series in 1985 and the second in 2002 both failed to catch on with audiences and soon died an unmourned death. It makes sense that none of the adaptations have ever been successful as it's somewhat of a mystery as to why the show was any good in the first place. The clunky writing, blunt moral messages and low budget should have resulted in failure for Serling and his crew, but instead turned into one of the most popular shows of all time. If this new movie turns out to produce something special, that would be a twist worthy of "The Twilight Zone".

SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com Domestic Violence Awareness week is in full swing with lectures on masculinity, indigenous cultures and vampires. Meredith Pavicic, president of Commission on the Status of Women, said that CSW decided to do a week of events in recognition of national Domestic Violence Awareness month. She said that the topic is especially relevant considering the recent vote in Topeka to repeal the local law that makes domestic violence a crime. The decision was later overturned when the district attorney reversed his earlier stance and once began prosecutions. "If we learned anything from what happened in Topeka, it is that domestic violence prevention is still relevant," said Pavicic, a senior from Leawood. Pavicic said that CSW would have a table in front of the Kansas Union all week with information on domestic violence issues and resources. They will also be displaying Willow Domestic Violence Center's Clothesline Project. The project is a visual display of t-shirts bearing the words of domestic violence survivors and their loved ones. The shirts are hung from a clothesline as a form of documentation of domestic violence. "Making the t-shirts help women and children of the shelter in the healing process," Pavicic said. Kaylin Wright, the Gender-Based Violence Activism Events Coordinator of CSW, is especially excited about Thursday's lecture on unhealthy relationships in pop culture. Wright, a senior from Roeland Park, said that the event would focus on the recent vampire craze. She said that she hoped to elicit the curiosity of Twilight fans. JT Hammons, a senior from Valley Falls, is leading Thursday's lecture titled "Friends Don't Let Friends Date Vampires." Hammons said that he had spliced together scenes from the Twilight series that highlighted the unhealthy relationship romanticized by many young women. "The protagonist in the film is constantly getting hurt because of her love and that is not what love is supposed to be." Hammons said. About 25 percent of women and 8 percent of men will be a victim of domestic violence in their lifetime, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC defines intimate partner violence as physical, sexual or psychological harm by a current or former romantic partner or spouse. Edited by C.J.

"Every year, you think, 'Oh, there can't be any more coats,' and every year, there's definitely more." another successful year. Delta Sigma Theta issued the warning this week, citing four sexual assaults, all involving black women in their mid-50s to mid-60s. Police say the assailant indicated during the attacks that he knew personal information about the victims. "We believe it's more than just accidental," said Matthew Kosec, deputy police chief in Copell. Cynthia M. A. Butler-McIntyre, national president of the sorority, said it isn't certain that the victims were targeted because of their sorority affiliation, but "we are erring on the side of caution" and advising members "to take the necessary precautionary measures." The group urged members to avoid displaying any items identifying them as sorority alumnae, including vehicle stickers, jewelry, clothing and accessories. They also warned members to remove information such as their whereabouts from social networking sites. "We just don't know if the suspect is identifying these ladies as they are out shopping in the area or if it's something more advanced than that" such as using social networking sites, Corinth police Capt. Greg Wilkerson said. Detectives have not determined exactly how the rapist might be learning about the sorority affiliation. The attacker is described as a black man in his late 30s to mid40s, 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing 250 to 300 pounds. Police in Plano released a video shot in April from a surveillance camera showing an unidentified man who appeared to resemble the description. Authorities say they would like to question that man in relation to the attacks but declined to provide more details. Smith, who said the victims did not attend the same college, said investigators noticed the similarities after the second attack and shared the information with surrounding cities. "The pattern of the alumnae membership was the big flag that put this together," Kosec said. "When you have a sexual assault like this, the detectives are very good about getting all sorts of details that could lead to the suspect." The other two assaults took place in Plano — one in April and another "prior to that," said Plano police spokesman Andrae Smith, who would not elaborate on the earlier date. Delta Sigma Theta counts more than 200,000 mostly black college-educated women among its members. Seventy-six percent of the group's members are alumnae, while 24 percent are still in college. The group has more than 900 chapters located around the world. The most recent attack was Oct. 14 in Shady Shores, said Corinth police, who are investigating the rape in the nearby community.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is accusing the SeaWorld parks of keeping five star-performer whales in conditions that violate the 13th Amendment ban on slavery. SeaWorld depicted the suit as baseless. The suit, which PETA says it will file Wednesday in U.S. District Court in San Diego, hinges on the fact that the 13th Amendment, while prohibiting slavery and involuntary servitude, does not specify that only humans can be victims. The chances of the suit succeeding are slim, according to legal experts not involved in the case; any judge who hews to the original intent of the authors of the amendment is unlikely to find that they wanted to protect animals. But PETA relishes engaging in the court of public opinion, as evidenced by its provocative anti-fur and pro-vegan campaigns. The plaintiffs are the five orcas, Tilikum and Katina based at SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla., and Corkay, Kasataka and Ulises at SeaWorld San Diego. Tilikum, a sixton male, made national news in February 2010 when he grabbed a trainer at the close of a performance and dragged her underwater until she drowned. Jeff Kerr, PETA's general counsel, says his five-member legal team — which spent 18 months preparing the case — believes it's the first federal court suit seeking constitutional rights for members of an animal species. "By any definition, these orcas are slaves — kidnapped from their homes, kept confined, denied everything that's natural to them and forced to perform tricks for SeaWorld's profit," said Kerr. "The males have their sperm collected, the females are artificially inseminated and forced to bear young which are sometimes shipped away." The lawsuit asks the court to order the orcas released to the custody of a legal guardian who would find a "suitable habitat" for them. Captured nearly 30 years ago off Iceland. Tilikum has enormous value as a stud and has fathered many of the calves born at SeaWorld parks. "SeaWorld is among the world's most respected zoological institutions," the company said. "There is no higher priority than the welfare of the animals entrusted to our care and no facility sets higher standards in husbandry, veterinary care and enrichment." SeaWorld said any effort to extend the 13th Amendment's protections beyond humans "is baseless and in many ways offensive." The statement outlined the many laws and regulations SeaWorld is obliged to follow, touted the company's global efforts to promote conservation of marine mammals, and said the orcas' performances help give the public a better appreciation and understanding of these animals. SeaWorld and other U.S. marine parks are governed by the Marine Mammals Protection Act, which allows public displays of the creatures.

The Kansan regrets this error. The correct rankings for this week are below. ONLY BARRING STATE 1. Oklahoma State 7-0,4-0 (Last week 2) National Ranking: No.3 The Cowboys received the biggest boost from the Sooners loss, replacing the Sooners as the third-ranked team in the AP and BCS polls. They take their high-powered scoring offense against Baylor's 101-st ranked scoring defense this weekend. 2. Kansas State 7-0,4-0 (Last Week 3) National Ranking: No.8 ATM The Wildcats trounced rival Kansas over the weekend, but they lost the chance to host ESPN's College Gameday after watching the Sooners lose for the first time this season. A win this weekend will put the Wildcats into the BCS championship game 3. Texas A&M 5-2, 3-1 (Last Week 4) National Ranking: No.16 After a couple of early losses to ranked teams, the Aggies are silently climbing back into the Big 12 title hunt. They are only one game back of the league leaders and still have the Wildcats on their slate. QU 4. Oklahoma 6-1,3-1 (Last Week 1) National Ranking: No.9 Okahama's loss eliminated the Sooners from the national title hunt. They have to refocus fast, a loss this week in Manhattan, Kan., would almost certainly eliminate them from the Big 12 Title hunt. T 5.Texas Tech 5-2, 2-2 (Last Week 7) National Ranking: No.20 The Red Raiders got their biggest win of the season against Oklahoma. Quarterback Seth Doege is having an excellent junior campaign, throwing 22 TDs compared to just four interceptions. This week the Red Raiders get to beat up on an Iowa State team that has lost four straight to become bowl eligible. 6. Texas 4-2,1-2 (Last Week 5) National Ranking: No.24 Texas looks to end its two-game slide after playing two of the nations top teams in consecutive weeks, but the Longhorn's schedule is about to get easier this week as we welcome the struggling Kansas Jayhawks to town. BAYFORD BASKETBALL 7. Baylor 4-2,1-2 (Last Week 6) R Baylor has quickly lost the momentum it had after entering Big 12 play undefeated. After losing two of three the Bears were dropped from the polls and the Heisman chances of Bear quarterback Robert Griffin III are falling. Things don't look to get much better as they travel to Stillwater this weekend. 8. Missouri 3-4,1-3 (Last Week 8) Missouri's win against Iowa State gives the Tigers a leg up on the other two bottom dwellers of the Big 12. Tiger fans are more focused on whether their team is moving to the SEC than their football team's struggles. STATE 9. Iowa State 3-4,0-4 (Last Week 9) KU The Cyclones have dropped four straight games since entering conference play, and quarterback Steele Jantz found himself on the bench in the first quarter after opening the game 0-4 with an interception. Things don't look to get much better as the Cyclones travel to Lubbock to take on a Texas Tech team hot off an upset victory against Oklahoma.3 10. Kansas 2-5,0-4 (Last Week 10) The good news for the Jayhawks is that they won't face another undefeated team this season. Turner Gill has a great chance to silence his critics with an upset in Texas this weekend; he'll need his team to come out swinging.

They take their big-hi-powered scoring offense against Baylor's 101st-ranked scoring defense this weekend. C 2. Kansas State 7-0,4-0 (Last Week 3) National Ranking: No.8 The Wildcats trounced rival Kansas over the weekend, but they lost the chance to host ESPN's College Gameday after watching the Sooners lose for the first time this season. A win this weekend will put the Wildcats into the BCS championship game OU 3. Texas A&M 5-2, 3-1 (Last Week 4) ATM National Ranking: No.16 After a couple of early losses to ranked teams, the Aggies are silently climbing back into the Big 12 title hunt. They are only one game back of the league leaders and still have the Wildcats on their slate. 4. Oklahoma 6-1,3-1 (Last Week 1) National Ranking: No.9 National Ranking: 10.3 Oklahoma's loss eliminated the Sooners from the national title hunt. They'll have to refocus fast, a loss this week in Manhattan, Kan., would almost certainly eliminate them from the Big 12 title hunt. T 5.Texas Tech 5-2, 2-2 (Last Week 7) National Ranking: No.20 The Red Raiders got their biggest win of the season against Oklahoma. Quarterback Seth Doege is having an excellent junior campaign, throwing 22 TDs compared to just four interceptions. This week the Red Raiders get to beat up on an Iowa State team that has lost four straight to become bowl eligible. T 6. Texas 4-2, 1-2 (Last Week 5) National Ranking: No.24 TIGER Texas looks to end its two-game slide after playing two of the nations top teams in consecutive weeks, but the Longhorn's schedule is about to get easier this week as they welcome the struggling Kansas Jayhawks to town. DAYTON BEAR 7. Baylor 4-2, 1-2 (Last Week 6) Baylor has quickly lost the momentum it had after entering Big 12 play undefeated. After losing two of three the Bears were dropped from the polls and the Heisman chances of Bear quarterback Robert Griffin III are falling. Things don't look to get much better as they travel to Stillwater this weekend. STATE 8. Missouri 3-4,1-3 (Last Week 8) KU Missouri's win against Iowa State gives the Tigers a leg up on the other two bottom dwellers of the Big 12. Tiger fans are more focused on whether their team is moving to the SEC than their football team's struggles. 9. Iowa State 3-4,0-4 (Last Week 9) The Cyclones have dropped four straight games since entering conference play, and quarterback Steele Jantz found himself on the bench in the first quarter after opening the game 0-4 with an interception. Things don't look to get much better as the Cyclones travel to Lubbock to take on a Texas Tech team hot off an upset victory against Oklahoma. 10. Kansas 2-5, 0-4 (Last Week 10) The good news for the Jayhawks is that they won't face another undefeated team this season. Turner Gill has a great chance to silence his critics with an upset in Texas this weekend; he'll need his team to come out swinging.

Gutesha had three top-20 finishes while playing in 11 meets last season. Men's golf ends season with fifth place finish LAUREN DRUMMOND Idrummond@kansan.com The men's golf team competed in the Herb Wimbley Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M. this week. The team took home fifth place after falling just short of Nevada for fourth place. The Jayhawks were led strongly by junior Alex Gutesha, who shot a final round score of even par 71 to place eighth individually. This score came the day after he posted a career best 18-hole score of 66. Gutesha found success on the par fives at the New Mexico golf course. "The par fives have good feelings when I get here and I expect to play well." are fairly short, so you can take advantage of them if you hit a good drive," said Gutesha. "My first and fourth holes were par fives. I just played them the way you're supposed to. I played here in two tournaments before college, so I'm pretty familiar with the course. I know where I have to miss, so I feel comfortable. I "Obviously, yesterday was.our best day of the year. We got a good team effort." Kansas also had four other golfers place in the top 30 at this tournament. Junior Chris Gilbert shot a three-round collective score of 213 to place 18th. Senior Doug Quinones posted a score of 70 in the final round to earn him 26th place. After a strong start of shooting a consecutive round of 69 strokes, junior Paul Harris shot KIT GROVE Coach an 80 on the final day and found himself tied for 30th. Freshman Dylan Mc-Clure also helped out the Jayhawks by shooting a final round score of 79 to place tied for 78th Coach Kit Grove was very pleased with how his team played and is excited for what is to come for the spring season. "Doug, Chris and Alex went out and played pretty sold golf today," said Grove. "For the three of them to get around the course at even-par is good." positive stuff for us. Obviously, yesterday was our best day of the year. We got a good team effort; nine of our 10 scores were 74 or better. At the end of the day, you look at the board and see that Nevada nipped you by one, and that's disappointing, but the week as a whole was much better than the last two events. That allows us to end on a positive note going into the spring." "We did a lot of stuff well, but obviously there are a lot of things we have to work on," said Grove. "They're going to need to put in the time in the offseason. We have to get sharper. They've got to continue to do the stuff that we've been working on the past couple weeks through the offseason." Grove also knows that the team has a lot to improve on before the spring season. The Jayhawks will be on a short hiatus until they kick off their spring season on March 5 where they will compete in the Louisiana Classic in Lafayette, La. — Edited by Stefanie Penn MEGLINTON 4 NEVER PACKAGED.

Kansas will face Iowa State on Wednesday in Ames, Iowa. Volleyball coach Ray Bechard disagrees with Iowa State's top 15 ranking. In fact, he thinks the Cyclones are not getting enough respect from his fellow coaches. "No question, no question about it," Bechard said. "I don't think they do anything to physically overwhelm you, but they're extremely functional in what they do. They're very efficient." MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com The Jayhawks (13-8, 1-7) will face the No. 14 Cyclones (16-3, 7-1) at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Ames, Iowa. On the heels of their first conference victory of the year on Saturday, the Jayhawks will try to dethrone the first-place Cyclones. Iowa State is ranked No. 3 in the NCAA's Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) but falls 11 spots lower in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll. "I think they've got a great chance to not only take the conference but extend it through the NCAA tournament," Bechard said. The Cyclones swept the Jayhawks on Sept. 28 in Lawrence. Sophomore libero Brianne Riley, who had 13 digs and a service ace in only three sets in the first contest, said the Jayhawks know what to expect from the Cyclones this time around. "I think the first time we played Iowa State, we truly didn't give them our best effort," Riley said. "We're all ready, and we have a lot of confidence this time." The Jayhawks will play through sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who was recognized comes to blocking this season. He echoed Jarmoc's sentiment that his squad could not be pleased with half of the Big 12 season in the books. "I think the message Monday was in no way can we be content or satisfied." Bechard said. "We've met very few of our goals in the first half of the Big 12. We won our last match and that's a good feeling, but we should be hungrier now more than ever." "We're definitely focusing on not relaxing at this point," Jarmoc said. "One win is just one win, and we need to continue it. It's almost a more intense and aggressive attitude now." by the Big 12 as the defensive player of the week on Monday. Jarmoc said Saturday's win against Texas Tech helped team morale, but Kansas is far from satisfied.

He didn't block for himself on the try that forced overtime. He was just one of many Broncos on the field, yet is receiving all the attention." — Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN.com FACT OF THE DAY Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has completed 49 percent of his passes in his two years in the NFL. - ESPN.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the starting quarterback at the University of Florida before Tebow? A: Chris Leak ESPN.com Tim Tebow undeserving of attention MORNING BREW I get it. I really do. Tim Tebow is a swell guy who happens to play football the "right" way. But at the same time, I don't get it. Not even in the slightest. Through 13 games, Tim Tebow's career has consisted of completing 58 of 119 passes (48.7 percent) for 7.51 yards-per-completion and eight passing touchdowns with four turnovers (three picks and one fumble). I have no idea what makes this a compelling argument for someone to deserve to start at the most important position on the field. Yes, I left out his good running stats, but a quarterback needs to be able to pass, and so far in his young career Tebow has thrown three more incomplete passes than complete. So why was his taking over the starting job this Sunday cause for every sports website to make him the lead story? In Sunday's victory against the Dolphins, he completed 13 of 27 passes for 161 yards with two touchdowns. Not bad stats, but he still missed more receivers than he hit. With six minutes to go, Tebow was just 4-for-14 for 40 yards and the Broncos trailed the winless Dolphins By Max Lush mlush@kansan.com 15-0. So, yes, he got it done in the clutch and led an improbable comeback. Maybe he is just a "winner." Or maybe he is one of those people who may lack talent or skill but "gets it done" or any other cliché you want to use. I just don't understand the need to make Tebow a bigger story than the next player. I understand what an amazing guy he is, how he commands the respect of anyone he meets and how he gives everyone he meets the same amount of respect, but he is not the lone professional athlete to possess these qualities. Last week, ESPN ran a piece about Patrick Willis' tough childhood and relationship with his dad. Unfortunately, it was buried behind Tebowmania. Willis, who is the NFL's best linebacker and essentially raised his siblings while he was still in high school, got sidelined for stories about Tebow. How many know about the charitable efforts of Namidi Asomugha? Aso- mugha's foundation provides food, shelter, medicine, learning materials and scholarships to orphans and widows in Nigeria. Asomugha also takes kids from the Los Angeles and Bay Area who cannot afford to visit colleges on their own on college tours. He received the Walter Payton Man of the Year award for his efforts. How many know that Warrick Dunn has provided a down payment on more than 100 homes for single parents looking to raise their family in a good, comfortable home? Dunn created the foundation because his mother, a police officer, was killed during a robbery and left 18-year-old Dunn to care for his five siblings. He also challenged all NFL players not on the New Orleans Saints after Hurricane Katrina to donate $5,000 to the relief fund, raising more than $5 million. Dunn has also received the Walter Payton award. Those are just two players who I found by just doing a simple Google search about charitable NFL players. People shouldn't like Tebow any less; he's really a great guy who is easy to root for. But there are good guys in the NFL that aren't named Tebow. It would do the NFL a lot of good if more stories came out about the humanitarian side of lesser-known NFL players, and I'm not talking about charities like Play 60 that the NFL founded, but the charities the players themselves create.

PAGE 8 VOLLEYBALL COACH THINKS NEXT OPPONENT IS UNDERRATED PAGE 8 Appetizing storylines for 2011 The 2011-12 Kansas men's basketball season may not be the By C.J. Matson cjmatson@kansan.com most anticipated season in Kansas basketball history, but it may be one of the most intriguing seasons yet. It will offer an array of dynamics that will attract Jawayk fans, including the non-conference schedule and the evolution of Thomas Robinson. The Jayhawks' non-conference schedule this season is brutally difficult, especially for a young, inexperienced team that lost 71 percent of its offense from last season. At Big 12 media day, coach Bill Self acknowledged that playing against Kentucky, Ohio State and USC and competing in the Maui Invitational that includes Duke, UCLA, Georgetown, Memphis, Tennessee and Michigan will be a big challenge for his team. "It's probably the best non-conference that we have had and probably the least experience returning that we have had," Self said. "Our guys need to get out there. We need to compare ourselves against other teams that we know are competing at a high national level. It will be a learning process for everybody." "We could potentially play against Duke: that is a game that I have always wanted to play," Taylor said. "We want to play against the best competition." The onus is on Robinson and Taylor to lead these young players who will be brought into the spotlight immediately when they play against elite competition early in the season. - Edited by Jason Bennett Expectations are incredibly high for junior forward Thomas Robinson to perform at a high level consistently. Robinson received numerous preseason honors from college basketball prognosticators. However, Robinson averaged only 14 minutes-per-game last season and has never been counted on as the go-to guy for the Jayhawks because he played behind Marcus and Markieff Morris. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said that he is excited for the challenging non-conference matchups because it is the type of schedule that big-time players want to play. Taylor said that he circled Nov. 15 game against Kentucky on his calendar and acknowledged that he knew Robinson was ready for the Dec. 10 game against Ohio State because the team knew that people were already counting the Jayhawks out. "If I want to be the best player, I want to go up against the top guys, and I get a chance to do that," Robinson said. "If you want to be mentioned as the best, you need to take out the best." Playing against talented post players such as Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis of Kentucky, Jared Sullinger of Ohio State, Nate Lubick of Georgetown and James Blasczyk of USC, Robinson has his work cut out early this season. "Thomas Robinson is looked at as one of our experienced players, and he has never been a guy that needed to play well for us to win." Self said. "He has been the dessert, now he has got to be the main course." KANSAS Robinson relishes the challenge of leading the Jayhawks as well as competing against guys like Davis and Sullinger. He said that the best players bring the best out of him. TIME TO SHINE PATIENTLY WAITING Junior guard Travis Releford waves to the fans to thank them for coming after the scrimmage Friday, Oct. 14, during Late Night in the Phog. Releford had 16 points in the scrimmage. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com There are certain risks a player takes when he comes to Lawrence to play basketball. While the perks — playing in front of 16,300 screaming fans every night, for example — are nice, the possibility of being lost in the shuffle of future NBA draft picks is real. Some players see the writing on the wall and decide to transfer. Others, such as junior guard Travis Releford, wait patiently until their time comes. Before the 2009 season, coach Bill Self said he thought Releford could become a 1,000-point scorer at Kansas. Releford was entering his sophomore season after averaging 2.7 points per game as a freshman. He ended up red-shirting that season, which isn't surprising considering Kansas' perimeter included Tyrel Reed, Tyshawn Taylor, Xavier Henry and Sherron Collins. Last season, Leeford found himself getting occasional minutes once again, averaging just 3.6 points in 10.1 minutes per game. That won't happen this year. "The past few years, there have been games where I didn't have to play good for us to win," Releford said. "Going into this season, there might be a bunch of games where I have to play good and defend well for us to win." And his coach thinks he can do just that. While scoring 1,000 points might be out of the question — he needs 806 during his final two seasons to accomplish the feat — Self expects good things from Releford on defense. He says Releford has the potential to be one of the Big 12's best wing defenders. And what about that old adage that it takes talent to play offense but almost anyone can play defense with a little hard work? "That's not necessarily true" Self said.

The statistics include the incoming classes of 2001-2004 and consider transfers and those who leave school with acceptable academic standing. It tracks student athletes on scholarship. The numbers are through the summer of 2010, since the athletes are given six years to graduate. The men's basketball team led all Big 12 men's basketball programs with a 91 percent GSR, and the women's cross country and track, softball, tennis, volleyball and men's golf teams all recorded a 100 percent GSR. The NCAA also recognized the men's basketball team and the men's and women's cross country teams in May for tallying Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in the nation's top 10 percent. APR tracks eligibility, retention, graduation and academic achievement. NCAA President Mark Emmert said that a stricter cutline may be raised to 930 but won't go into effect for two years. An APR score must exceed 925 for a team to be eligible for postseason play and keep its scholarships. A 900 APR may be required for men's basketball. Had that been in place last season, Connecticut would not have been allowed to participate. REALIGNMENT Big 12 on verge of adding West Virginia to the fold ANDREW JOSEPH ajoseph@kansan.com Vo While the Big 12 awaits Missouri's decision, the conference is already prepared to move forward. According to a report in The New York Times, West Virginia has applied for membership in the Big 12 and has already been accepted by the conference. The deal will become official once legal issues are worked out with the Big 12 and Big East. The legal issues include the negotiation of exit penalties and the restructuring of conference schedules and television contracts. According to the report, the Big 12 intends to stay at 10 teams, only adding West Virginia. The Big East voted last week to double its exit fee, but West Virginia will only have to pay the original $5 million penalty if the school leaves before the Big East expands. West Virginia's departure will leave the Big East with just five football members, possibly jeopardizing the conference's status as an automatic qualifier for the BCS. V The Big 12 is operating under the assumption that Missouri is inevitably bound for the Southeastern Conference. Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton's comments Tuesday morning to the Columbia radio station KFRU strongly support the belief that Missouri and the Big 12 have parted ways. "We feel a great urgency to clarify (the decision) as quickly as possible," Deaton said. "It's hard to put a timeframe on it. Our hopes were days, possibly a week or two." Deaton acknowledged that he wants to maintain the school's traditional rivalries, but he thinks WV Missouri has to do what's best for the school in the changing climate of collegiate athletics. "It's often the case where our head has to outweigh our heart in achieving some of the objectives, because the heart won't necessarily, in this case, lead to where the University is going and needs to be going." Deaton said.

"Check your bumps for lumps." "A feel a day keeps the doctor away." All of these are common slogans seen on T-shirts, bracelets and other breast cancer awareness items. The campus' fashion trend of the month seems to be a plethora of pink clothing and accessories to promote breast cancer awareness, because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Although these products are intended to make a statement and educate the public, they are also sparking controversy. Kaiti Xouris, a junior from "It might seem creative or humorous, but to those with family who have suffered from breast cancer, and those who suffer themselves, wearing a product that says 'I love boobies' or 'save second base' seems disrespectful and uninformed." Xouris said. Overland Park, questions whether these bracelets and T-shirts are still a means of support or if they are merely transforming into a fashion statement or icon. Victor Mallin, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., agrees that these slogans seem degrading to women. Mallin thinks people should focus more on the millions of women who have this cancer, rather than the actual body part itself. "I think it gets people's attention, but is it really the 'boobies' we care about, or the people that have them?" he said. "I have seen people almost turn breast cancer awareness into a type of pornography to get people's attention." On the other hand, Danny Dowling, a freshman from Irenea, doesn't see any harm in wearing breast cancer awareness products with slogans that could be viewed in a provocative manner, since they can directly target the male population. "It's ultimately for a good cause that almost everyone knows someone suffering from," Dowling said. "I mean, it's just pointing out what guys already love." Although these slogans can be perceived as having a negative connotation, they can be eye-catching and get people talking about the subject at hand, which is the overall purpose. "At first the I love boobies' bracelets weired me out, especially because only guys were wearing them. But after awhile, it stopped bothering me and I thought it was funny." Abby Melgren, a freshman from Wichita, said. "Breast cancer research, in my opinion, is by far the most highly advertised and supported, and if using vulgar or inappropriate sayings is how they do it, then I'm all for it." Maria Smithson, a junior from Overland Park, thinks that actions speak louder than words and will have more of an effect in the long run. "It is one thing to raise awareness about a problem by wearing these things, and an entirely different thing to do something about it, like fund-raising and providing information which promote research for a cure," Smithson said. Undeniably, breast cancer awareness merchandise has been making an impression on those who buy and view them. Whether it's positive or negative attention to the cause, that's for individuals to decide.

"We have found that alumni respond really well to the students," said Emily Vieux, KU Endowment call center manager. "They usually like to share the experiences that they had at KU with the students, and they also like to find out how things have changed on campus." Vieux said the call center usually brings in about $1.2 million a year. According to the KU 2010 fiscal year budget, KU Endowment's fundraising efforts provided the University with more than $110.2 million, accounting for roughly 10 percent of the University's total revenue. Of that amount, $26.7 million was allocated in the form of scholarships and $3.2 million as low-interest loans helping to ease the financial burdens of nearly 6,500 students. According to KU Endowment's 2010 Annual Report, the funding was collected through the gifts of 45,192 donors, a new record of involvement for the organization. Often students who are studying a particular major are assigned to lists of alumni who graduated from the same major. "It's great talking with alumni that can identify with the stuff that I'm going through," said Connor Ireland, a KU Endowment caller and senior from St. Louis. Mo. "I'm an engineering major, and it feels great when you're talking with someone who does the things that you're hoping to do."

SANAA.YEMEN Hundreds of Yemeni women on Wednesday set fire to traditional female veils to protest the government's brutal crackdown against the country's popular uprising, as overnight clashes in the capital and another city killed 25 people, officials said. In the capital Sanaa, the women spread a black cloth across a main street and threw their full-body veils, known as makrama, onto a pile, sprayed it with oil and set it ablaze. As the flames rose, they chanted: "Who protects Yemeni women from the crimes of the thugs?" The women in Yemen have taken a key role in the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's authoritarian rule. Afghan forces could soon start taking charge of security in a wide swath of northern and western Afghanistan, but only a few spots in the more violent south and east — the second step in a transition that President Hamid Karzai hopes will leave his forces in control of the entire nation by the end of 2014. KABUL A successful handover is key to NATO's plan to withdraw most of its combat forces from Afghanistan after more than a decade of fighting there. Western officials and experts have expressed pessimism about the ability of Karzai and his armed forces to assume command of their country. If they fail, the militant Taliban could stage a comeback.

The relationships students start with alumni in the call center often begin with small donations but can escalate to larger giving in time. The interaction may also benefit the student callers, some of whom have been offered internships in their desired fields by impressed donors. Once donors pledge to give money, they can then choose wherever they would like that money to go, whether it be to a specific department, scholarship or facility. They may also want to donate to the general Greater KU fund, which is then divided and given to where it is needed the most on campus. KU Endowment does not use any of the funds given by donors for operation costs, but rather relies on stocks and other investments that have been managed since the organization's formation. "I remember what it was like going to KU and all the incredible opportunities and experiences it gave to me," said Dan Royer, an English professor at Grand Valley State University who earned his Ph.D. in composition and rhetoric at the University in 1995. "It's expensive to get a good education. I had help from KU back in the day, and now it's a pleasure for me to give back to help someone else." University to launch new fundraising campaign CAMPUS — Edited by Jonathan Shorman WASHINGTON Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little holds up a red high-heeled shoe that acts as a symbol of the "Far Above" fundraising campaign for excellence at the University. Gray-Little launched the campaign in April in an effort to raise funds for research at the University. JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH jblakeborough@kansan.com LAURA SATHER/KANSAN Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the University has not yet put a number to its goal for the April 2012 "Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas" fundraising effort. "It will certainly be an amount that begins with a 'B," Gray-Little said. The University has already raised $153.2 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30. The University is also restructuring the scholarship program and a portion of the funds raised will go into a research pool. Gray-Little said the new research money will go to undergraduate research projects "Sometimes in order to finish a research project, you need an extra $500 or $5,000, and we want to enrich and support first year undergraduate research opportunities," Grav-Little said. The research funding does not come from the same pool as scholarship money. Gray-Little explained that this is for situations when there is not enough money in a specific school. This way, there might be a pool of money in an undergraduate research office that students can tap into. The scholarship program is targeted to students who have strong merit, regardless of their field of study. Merit is determined by a combination of grade point average, SAT and ACT scores. Gray-Little said the way specialized schools are partnering up with the University to match recruitment scholarships is one of the fundamental differences for this program. People may notice similarities between Far Above and other recently announced initiatives. Gray-Little said Bold Aspirations, Far Above, and Changing for Excellence, a project to increase efficiency and effectiveness at the University, were done this way on purpose. In a letter to University staff, Gray-Little explained the reasoning behind initiating the three plans simultaneously. while we first address research productivity, just like we can't tell those who depend on our discoveries to wait while we work on enrollment," Gray-Little said.

Schlagle high school to meet with mentors, even though it meant adding to an eight-hour school day. Collins always attended the sessions and eventually the time spent paid off — by paying for 80 percent of her tuition. The scholarships Collins, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., received at the end of high school were thanks to the University's Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Education program (GEAR UP). GEAR UP, a mentor program established at the University in 1999, recently received an $8.9 million grant from the Department of Education. GEAR UP works with low-income middle school and high school students in Kansas City, Kan., with the ultimate goal of sending them to college. It starts with a middle school class and follows them until the end of high school. Lisa Henderson, project director of GEAR UP at the University, said she and her staff visit the four middle schools and two high schools in Kansas City anywhere from once a week to daily. THE GEAR UP staff supplements the students' curriculum in class and holds tutoring sessions after school as well. Not only do they provide assistance with a student's current education, but GEAR UP promotes educational opportunities past high school. "There's a lot of information that kids and parents need to know as far as a FAFSA, scholarship opportunities, and preparing for the ACT," Henderson said. "A lot of counselors say that usually it wouldn't be until the spring of the senior year that kids would start thinking about college, instead of middle school." Collins, the valedictorian of her graduating class, always knew she would attend college, even though she is the first in her family to go away from home to do so. To teach students how to effectively save for college, GEAR UP added financial literacy education to the curriculum. This new aspect sets up savings accounts for the students and offers monetary rewards on a monthly basis for accomplishments such as completing all of their homework or having perfect attendance. This money will go straight to their savings accounts. Students can earn up to $200 per school year. "They helped us make smart decisions about what college we wanted to go to without breaking our pocket," Collins said. Barbara Phipps, professor in curriculum and teaching and director of the Center for Economic Education, is the financial adviser for the new financial literacy program. Phipps is developing the curriculum for GEAR UP students and parents to promote how to use the students' savings accounts properly. "There is a lot of research that has been done that says kids that have any kind of savings, lower income kids in particular, are more likely to enroll in college and graduate," Phipps said. This year, the renewed grant allows GEAR UP to reach more than 1,600 students in Kansas City. "If I hadn't been in GEAR UP," Collins said. "I wouldn't have the values and skills that I have now." Collins said she is excited the program received more funding because more students can have the same opportunities she has. Not only has the scholarship opportunity affected her education, but Collins still uses handouts and tips provided to her from GEAR UP in her classes at the University. - Edited by Mike Lavieri NATIONAL Obama plans to reduce student debt ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — President Barack Obama recalled his struggles with student loan debt as he unveiled a plan Wednesday that could give millions of young people some relief on their payments. ASSOCIATED PRESS Speaking at the University of Colorado Denver, Obama said that he and his wife, Michelle, together owed more than $120,000 in law school debt that took nearly a decade to pay off. He said that sometimes he'd have to make monthly payments to multiple lenders, and the debt meant they were not only paying for their own degrees but saving for their daughters' college funds simultaneously. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED "I've been in your shoes. We did not come from a wealthy family," Obama said to cheers. Obama said it's never been more important to get a college education, but it's also never been more expensive. Obama said his plan will help not just individuals, but the nation, because graduates will have more money to spend on things like buying homes. President Barack Obama waves after speaking to students and faculty at Auraria Events Center in Denver yesterday. Obama outlined a plan to allow millions of student loan recipients to lower their payments and consolidate their loans. Obama's plan will accelerate a measure passed by Congress that reduces the maximum required payment on student loans from 15 percent of discretionary income annually to 10 percent. He will put it into effect in 2012, instead of 2014. In addition, the White House says the remaining debt would be forgiven after 20 years, instead of 25. About 1.6 million borrowers "Our economy needs it right now and your future could use a boost right now," Obama said. could be affected. He will also allow borrowers who have a loan from the Federal Family Education Loan Program and a direct loan from the government to consolidate them into one. The consolidated loan would carry an interest rate of up to a half percentage point less than before. This could affect 5.8 million borrowers. Student loans are the No. 2 source of household debt. The president's announcement came on the same day as a new report on tuition costs from the College Board. It showed that average in-state tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose $631 this fall, or 8.3 percent, compared with a year ago. Nationally, the cost of a full credit load has passed $8,000, an all-time high. Student loan debt is a common concern voiced by Occupy Wall Street protesters. Obama's plan could help him shore up re-election support among young voters, an important voting bloc in his 2008 election. But, it might not ease all their fears. "By the time I graduate, my interest rate is going to be astronomical, especially when you don't have a job." Van Pelt said. "So it's not just paying the loans back. It's paying the loans back without a job." Anna Van Pelt, 24, a graduate student in public health at the University of Colorado Denver who attended the speech, estimates she'll graduate with $40,000 in loans. She called Obama's plan a "really big deal" for her, but said she still worries about how she'll make the payments. The White House said the changes will carry no additional costs to taxpayers. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., his party's ranking member on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said in a statement that while he supports efforts to help struggling graduates, the president's plan was crafted behind closed doors and "we are left with more questions than answers." Last year, Congress passed a law that lowered the repayment cap and moved student loans to direct lending by eliminating banks as the middlemen. Before that, borrowers could get loans directly from the government or from the Federal Family Education Loan Program; the latter were issued by private lenders but basically insured by the government.

OH CRAP THIS ISN'T A PROTEST AT ALL HUKEE HUEBEL BRADINS GROOMMAN BRADINS CARPENTER TELEVISION 'Boss offers drama Is Chicago Mayor Tom Kane, the titular character in Starz's addictive new political drama, "Boss," a good man? Is he a bad man? An evil man? MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Created and written by Farhad Safinia, "Boss" is a compelling, intimate, behind-the-scenes look at a larger-than-life big-city mayor and how he, his aides, his cronies, and his political enemies run their town. Happily, the show stays out of partisan politics_ it never mentions party names or affiliations. "Boss" first of eight episodes premiered Friday (and is available through Video on Demand), and the show returns Friday for its second episode. If, like many viewers, you're starved for complex characters and a fascinating storyline, don't let anything stop you from watching it. The show succeeds in large part because of its fine writing and its powerful star: Kane is played with explosive intensity by a particularly jowly, bulldogish Kelsey Grammer in what might be his best role to date. "Boss" Gus Van Sant-helded debut episode opens with bad news: Kane's neurologist, Ella Harris (Karen Aldridge), tells him that he has a degenerative neurological disease that will gradually reduce his higher mental functions and control over his bodily functions to mush. Kane has less than five years to live. He's surrounded by a great supporting cast, including Martin Donovan and Kathleen Robertson as his two top aides, and Connie Nielsen as his wife, Meredith. Like HBO'S masterpiece "The Wire," "Boss" takes complicated, conflicted, three-dimensional characters and weaves them into a multilayered web of relationships, all in the context of a teeming metropolis. It's a terrific way to begin the story: From the get-go, the audience is similarly prompted to take stock of Kane's character, to evaluate his actions. He isn't about to step down as mayor, which sets up one of the show's main conflicts: How long can he keep his illness a secret? Practical issues aside, the news compels Kane to reflect on his own mortality and begin to take stock of his life. "Boss" doesn't provide any easy answers. It muddies matters by posing another question: Do the usual moral categories apply to leaders? Sure, Kane's no president, but as the boss of America's third-largest city, he's responsible for their well-being. And sometimes, he must do terrible things in their name. Or so he believes. Which brings us to our question: Is Kane a good or a bad man? Presidents order wars, assassinations. They make terrifying decisions that sometimes have terrible consequences. How do we judge their actions?

TELEVISION MTV brings back show after 14-vear absence Thursday marks the return of Mike Judge's "Beavis and Butt-Head" to MTV, after 14 years — enough time for a baby to have grown up to be Beavish or Butt-Head. The cartoon, which began in part as an ironic, idiotic but not inaccurate commentary on the network's original bread and butter — the music video will now include among its targets movies, viral videos and the kind of shows that have come to represent MTV in the duo's absence, series like "Jersey Shore" and "16 and Pregnant." What's odd is how nearly they resemble some of their new targets and how with the passing years they've come to sound less like snarky kids and more like grumbling old men. — McClatchy Tribune CROSSWORD ACROSS 1 Sweet potato 4 Wyoming neighbor 8 Medicinal amount 12 Id counterpart 13 The Eternal City 14 Physical 15 Baby picture? 17 Options list 18 Raw rock 19 Shenani-gans 21 Those who shun animal products 24 Yuletide beverage 25 Listener 26 Car : jalpty :: boat : — 28 Hayseed 32 Memo acronym 34 — de plume 36 Queen of Carthage 37 Mada-gascar citter 39 Crony 41 Cover 42 Storm center 44 "In Cold Blood" author 46 Rues 50 Huge 51 Berry touted as a super-food 52 Type of 3-D image 56 Collins or Donahue 57 Eastern bigwig 58 Hearty brew 59 Carry 60 Agts. 61 Speedometer stat CHECK THE ANSWERS AT http://udkne.ws/vDars DOWN 1 "Of course" 2 Past 3 Decorative lettering 4 High-priority 5 Anderson's "High —" 6 Oriental nurse-maid 7 Confine 8 Nearly divine one 9 The yoke's on them 10 Foundered 11 Ostriches' kin 16 Man-mouse link 20 Bliss 21 — 22 tion 23 Baltimore newspaper 27 Jazzy style 29 Mass measure 30 Tend texts 31 Source of riches 33 Childish 35 Buddy 38 Catcher's place 40 Hercules had 12 43 Old anes-thetic 45 Glutton 46 Engrossed 47 Reverberate 48 Pace 49 Unspecified amount 53 Back talk 54 Matter-horn, e.g. 55 Expression of disinterested @ 9156742307 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 12 | | | 13 | | | | 14 | | | | | 15 | | | 16 | | | | 17 | | | | | | | 18 | | | | 19 | | 20 | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 21 | 22 | | | | 23 | | 24 | | | | | | 25 | | | | 26 | | 27 | | 28 | | 29 | 30 | 31 | | 32 | | | 33 | | 34 | | 35 | | 36 | | | | | 37 | | | | 36 | | 39 | | 40 | | 41 | | | | | | | 42 | | 43 | | 44 | | 45 | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 46 | 47 | 48 | | | | 49 | | 50 | | | | | 51 | | | | 52 | | 53 | | | | 54 | 55 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 56 | | | | 57 | | | | | 58 | | | | 59 | | | | 60 | | | | | 61 | | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | | | 13 | | | | 14 | | | 15 | | 16 | | | | 17 | | | | | 18 | | | | 19 | | 20 | | | 21 | 22 | | | | 23 | | 24 | | | 25 | | | | 26 | | 27 | | 28 | | 29 30 31 32 | | | 33 | | 34 | | 35 | | 36 | | | 37 | | | 38 | | 39 | | 40 | | 41 | | | | | 42 | | 43 | | 44 | | 45 | | | 46 | 47 | 48 | | | 49 | | 50 | | | 51 | | | | 52 | | 53 | | | 54 55 56 | | | | 57 | | | | | 58 | | | 59 | | | | 60 | | | | | 61 | | | Your modern day general store with jewelry, handmade decor, cards, and so much more!

If I plagiarize, I pay the University to kick me out of school. When professors plagiarize, I pay them to stay at the University. We all need good role models right?

I'm all for you handing out Bibles to students but don't attack me at 8 a.m. right when I get off the bus. I go to the University of Kansas. Obviously I don't read the Bible.

And I thought these bad ideas couldn't get worse than Mizzou leaving. Watching a squirrel fall from the top of a tree and survive, awesome! Watching it miss landing on the frat kids, not as cool. I wish I had a Bible cannon. The truth hurts, doesn't it? I like to imagine that there's a little man who lives in the Campanile and rings the bells.

EDITORIAL Health should not be sacrificed for a grade Students in some University of Kansas academic programs feel overworked, and their health suffers from it. An in-depth Kansan story that ran in April highlighted the stories of an architecture, a computer science and a mechanical engineering major and the dangers of students sacrificingleep and working excessive hours on class work. I love when I walk faster than a guy with legs twice as long as mine because he wouldn't step on the cracks of the sidewalk. The architecture student developed kidney stones as a junior from more than 100 Rockstar energy drinks she consumed in one semester. The same student avoided sleep for a project by sticking a methylphenidate patch — originally prescribed for ADHD — on her back every eight hours for three days. An engineering student was hospitalized when he buckled in pain after days in the workshop with Red Bull drinks and little sleep. He was diagnosed with diabetes at age 21. The dedication he needed to put in his school and extracurricular work threatened his health and his relationship with his girlfriend, now wife. The generally accepted rule for the time a student spends for one college credit is three hours of work outside of class. For a 15 credit hour schedule, students are expected to attend class for 15 hours and spend 45 hours on class work per week. This time does not include extra-curricular activities and part- Piling long hours of work on students to prepare them to construct tomorrow's buildings, cars and computer programs is often considered to be a normal part of the educational process. Engineering and computer science requires incredible devotion to detail, while architecture also involves an "open-ended process" that's always in a student's mind, according to the dean of architecture John Gaunt. time jobs. "It requires a tacit understanding of the program," he said. Students usually know the time requirements of classes and projects. These examples of over- the administration is alleviating students' workloads. But professors and administrators must work together to help students graduate with the skills they need without harming their health. More awareness will help students better manage their time and maintain their mental and physical wellness. worked students are not representative of most students in engineering and architecture, but professors and administration understand that students work long and odd hours. But when the curriculum affects students' health, along with condoning unhealthy study habits, schools at the University must start reminding their students of the importance of time management and the risks of using harmful methods to stay awake. Most students try to succeed in classes for their fields of study. A student ultimately needs to figure out the line between working hard and still having the energy to recover from tough exams and mentally draining projects. The Office of the Provost must consider this an issue as it reshapes academics with a "Bold Aspirations" strategic plan. By decreasing the total number of general education credits necessary to graduate, Vikaas Shanker for The Kansan Editorial Board POLITICS Get involved in campaigns sooner rather than later November is almost here, and that means it is just a little more than a year until the 2012 general elections. Even a year out, the election season is already in full swing. Republican Presidential hopefuls have already held a handful of debates, and the early primaries are just a few months away. This is about the time when campaigns start looking for volunteers and staffers, and if you were looking to get involved with a campaign, it may be the time. The sooner you get involved, the better. By Alex Boyer aboyer@kansan.com There are plenty of ways you can help a campaign. Volunteer jobs run the gambit, from helping pass out information at campaign events to helping plant signs on busy street corners close to election day to helping run phone banks. Campaigns, especially for statewide elections, are even looking for paid representatives in cities throughout the state, but these jobs require a large amount of time. Where do you even start when looking to get involved with a campaign? Well, it begins with research. Research not only the candidates, but also the issues. That way you can have your views on the issues defined before getting your feet wet. Whatever level of election you want to look at, from local to national, you want to find a candidate that best represents you. Don't support anyone you wouldn't vote for on Election Day. Also, if you really want to join a campaign to win, there are a couple of ways to look into your candidate's chances (getting involved in a campaign that's already dead in the water would not be good for job security). First, take a look at polls. They can give you a good idea of where your candidate stands. If those aren't available, take a look at the FEC's campaign finances website. Candidates with more cash on hand often have a better chance of staying in the election longer and stand a decent chance of winning. Next, find the candidate's district or election office. If the candidate you want to work for is an incumbent, look for his or her district office. A new candidate usually has election offices throughout the state. If you want to work for a national campaign, the best place to start would be in the local party offices. But these are often temporary offices and, at least here in Douglas County, won't open up for a couple of months. Working for a campaign in college is a great way to build real-world experience, network and build up your resume, regardless of your party affiliation. Last year, I worked as a press assistant on the primary campaign for Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.). It involved some odd hours and plenty of work, but a victory on election day was incredibly rewarding. For those who aren't interested in serious involvement, I suggest they still start to pay attention. As people start to enter the local races and national candidates begin to dwindle, everyone who wants to make an informed vote next November may want to start watching the debates and reading the papers. Who knows, maybe an issue or candidate will begin to stand out to you, and you may want to get involved. Boyer is a senior from Lawrence in political science and journalism.

FASHION ASSOCIATED PRESS Fashion designer Ralph Lauren, left, and wired Ricky Lauren attend "Lincoln Center Presents: An Evening With Ralph Lauren" at Alice Tully Hall on Oct. 24 in New York. coln Cen incol coln coln Lauren honored at special event Some call him a fashion legend. Others view him as a philanthropist.Most can agree he is an inspiration to all. Ralph Lauren is without a doubt one of the most celebrated American designers. To commemorate his many fashion and philanthropic achievements throughout the years, Oprah Winfrey hosted an "Evening With Ralph Lauren" Monday night at the Lincoln Center in New York City. This lavish black-tie affair, which included a dinner, a question and answer segment hosted by the queen of interviews herself, and a runway show that featured close to 50 looks from Lauren's spring line, raised more than $7 million jointly for the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention in Harlem and the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. Not one to regularly provide interviews, Lauren attracted media moguls who were eager to talk to the fashion icon, such as Anderson Cooper, Barbara Walters and Cohen. What started out as a small necktie business, known as Polo, has now become one of the most well-known household names for American apparel. From Western-inspired blue jeans to Great-Gatsby-worthy preppy sportswear, Lauren is the quintessential American designer. Polo Ralph Lauren became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange in 1997 under the recognizable symbol By Lizzie Marx lmarx@kansan.com RL and by 2009 the fashion house earned a revenue of $5 billion. Lauren talked about his uprising from humble beginnings to achieve the American Dream through hard work and determination. "I'm living proof if you work hard enough, you can accomplish something in this country," Lauren said Monday night, according to the Associated Press. Although Ralph Lauren is mainly known for his impeccable designs, he has also gained acknowledgement as a notable philanthropist. His charity, the Ralph Lauren Foundation, supports several different initiatives in cancer care, education and service in undeserved communities. The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention provides screening and treatment services for several different types of cancer for the residents of Harlem, an area in New York that has one of the highest cancer mortality rates in the United States. The Lincoln Center Foundation strengthens fashion-related events throughout the year through supporting New York City's growing design community. Raising money for two favorable charities has never been this fashionable. Marx is a sophomore from St. Louis in journalism.

Follow her live-tweets @UDK_Quidditch @ WHAT POSITIONS ON TH CHASERS The chasers are the offensive players in the game. They need to score as many points as possible by throwing the quaffle (a volleyball) through one of the three hoops. They advance the ball by either throwing or kicking it. There are three chasers per team. The chasers begin on the end line. When the "brooms up" signal is given, they look for the quaffle and attempt to move down the field to score on the opposing team's hoops. ANSAS BEATERS Each team has two players called beaters. It is their goal to keep the opposing team's chasers from scoring by hitting them with dodgeballs called bludgers.Their goal is to interrupt the rhythm of the match to throw off the opposing offense. When a players are hit by a bludger, they must dismount their broom and return to their team's hoops. The beaters begin on the end line before "brooms up" is called. They look for the bludgers first. After they find the bludgers, they attack the opposing team's chaser who have the ball. They around throughout the game chasing the chasers and protecting their own hoops. KEEPER 1 The keeper is the goalie, and he must guard the team's hoops from opposing chasers. Many teams will also allow their keepers to switch from defense to offense when they make a save at the hoops. 1 高 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2011 PAGE 7 IS QUIDDITCH? IE PITCH SEEKER The seekers need to find and catch the snitch by pulling the tennis ball in a sock from the snitch-runner's shorts. They must snatch the snitch cleanly without knocking down the snitch runner. The seekers begin on the end line with the other players, but once "brooms up" is called, they move to the seeker box and remain there until the referee tells them that the seeker floor has been removed. After the seeker floor is removed they are free to search for the snitch. The snitch in the novels is a magical ball. In the real-life version of quidditch, the snitch became a snitch runner. Everything snitchin' Unlike every other player in quidditch, the snitch runner does not use a broom. They are the most cunning players on the field. The IQA handbook says: "The snitch runner is not on either team, does not use a broom, and can use any means to avoid "capture," including physical contact like wrestling takedowns or trickery like riding a bicycle, climbing trees or hiding in the audience." The snitch is allowed at the beginning of the game to get a head start running away from the pitch to hide and avoid capture. They are allowed to run anywhere as long as they return to the pitch after about 15-minutes. HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com GET TO KNOW THE BASICS Players, except the snitch runner, must run with a broom between their legs at all times. There are seven players on a team: three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and one seeker. The game has been called a hybrid between rugby, dodgeball and tag. Players take this very seriously, and people do get hurt. The game begins when the referee yells, brooms up." The game is finished with the snitch is snatched. KEEPING SCORE Each time the quaffle (a volleyball) passes through a hoop, the team is awarded 10 points. The team that catches the snitch is awarded 30 points. - When the snitch is caught, the game is over, but the team with more points is the victor. TOOLS OF THE TRADE Hula Hoops The goals are made of Hula Hoops and PVC pipes. Each endzone has two short hoops and one tall hoop. a Hoops PVC Pipe A volleyball acts as the quaffle, the main scoring ball in the game. The chasers and keepers are the only players to interact with the quaffle. O A tennis ball stuffed inside of a sock is the snitch. A player called the snitch runner, who is not affiliated with either team in the match, lets the snitch hang from his or her shorts. The snitch is caught by pulling the tennis ball in the sock from the player's shorts. Three dodgeballs are the bludgers. They are thrown by beaters to slow down the opposing team's offense. Only beaters may control bludgers, and they can only hold one at a time. Be cautious young wizards, this game can get rough NSA LEGAL HIT ILLEGAL HIT Quidditch is an aggressive sport. Players other than seekers may legally tackle other players who use the same ball, according to the IQA Handbook. Legal tackles include: The player who is being tackled possesses the ball. The tackle is clean. It does not hit the head, neck or groin. When wrapping another player, only one arm is used. Illegal play can result in: The person being tackled can see the tackler in his or her peripheral vision. The player being forced to return to his or her hoops A yellow card being issued Ejection from the game --- PAGE 8 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 14 year's team includes three top 50 classes. Following the Jayhawks' 59-21 loss to Kansas State on Saturday, two Kansas players cited a lack of focus and energy in practice as possible reasons for the Jayhawks' struggles on the field. Gill did not deny that his team does not always practice the way he wants it to. "I think that's the inexperience of our team," Gill said. "That's something we have talked about, where there have been days where there's been good energy and then there's other days where we don't." But when the Jayhawks take the field against Texas on Saturday, 16 of their 24 starters will be upperclassmen. They have seven Orange Bowl team members that remain on the roster, along with a majority of the freshmen from the 2008 Insight Bowl-winning team. At 2-5 this season, Gill's team has not yet shown signs that he has started to "fix" a program that may have never needed fixing in the first place. But his sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb still came to his coach's defense, with the heat turned on this week. "He's keeping us focused everyday," Webb said. "We're making improvements; whether anybody is admitting that or not on the outside doesn't matter to us. We're getting better and we know it and coach Gill is the biggest reason for that."

ASSOCIATED PRESS The Big 12 is still deciding: West Virginia or Louisville? Could be one or the other, or maybe neither. Conference realignment took a strange turn Wednesday when, a day after it appeared that the Big 12 had decided West Virginia would eventually replace Missouri as the league's 10th member, the Mountaineers' Big East rival Louisville re-entered the picture. The result was conflicting stories about what happened and a U.S. Senator threatening an investigation — while the Big East was left to wonder not only if it had to replace another member, but which one. A person with knowledge of the Big 12's discussions told The Associated Press that no decision was made by the conference to add West Virginia, and that Louisville is still a candidate to be invited to join. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the Big 12's internal discussions are being conducted privately. The person added that a decision about expansion is not expected before next week. On Tuesday, West Virginia to the Big 12 seemed to be certain after the Big 12 board of directors met the night before. But the person with knowledge of the talks said "no real decision was made on Monday" and the Big 12 is not committed to any school. West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck declined comment in a text message to the AP. However, another person with knowledge of the situation, also speaking on condition of anonymity because of the negotiations not being made public, said West Virginia was preparing Tuesday to announce the move with a news conference on campus with Big 12 officials on Wednesday. "I think all of this should have great clarity within the next 10 days or less." University of Oklahoma President David Boren said Wednesday after a regents meeting in Lawton, Okla. The school and the league also were working on a news release when university leaders received a call from the conference telling them to put those plans on hold, the person said. One thing seems sure — the Big 12 is going to need a replacement for Missouri, which has been working on a move to the Southeastern Conference. The person with knowledge of the Big 12's discussions said conference officials are not holding out hope that Missouri will stay, but said West Virginia and Louisville should not be considered finalists to become the Big 12's next member.

"And I wouldn't rule out other schools just yet." BYU also has been considered as a potential new member by the Big 12. The person said no meetings have been set up with Big 12 officials and schools outside the conference. "We're still discussing among ourselves," the person said. Big 12 leaders have also discussed possibly expanding back to 12 members, the number it had before Colorado and Nebraska left after last season and Texas A&M announced earlier this month that it was moving to the SEC. The Big 12 has already replaced the Aggies with TCU, another blow to the beaguered Big East. TCU planned to leave the Mountain West Conference to join the Big East in 2012, but was instead diverted by the Big 12 to reuite with former Southwest Conference rivals Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech. The person said it is unlikely the Big 12 would go the 12-team route and invite both West Virginia and Louisville in the process. There were media reports Wednesday that Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell reached out to Big 12 officials to lobby for Louisville and that helped put the brakes on West Virginia's invitation. "There been outside influences for every school," the person said. "Everybody's politicians are calling. I don't mean that in a negative way. They've all been positive and no one has tried to coerce anybody into anything." "The Big 12 picked WVU on the strength of its program — period. Now the media reports that political games may upend that. That's just flat wrong. I am doing and will do whatever it takes to get us back to the merits," he said. West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who is chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, which has oversight of sports, released a statement Wednesday saying that he, too, is involved. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, in a statement emailed to the AP, said an investigation might be in order. YOUR MONEY ON CAMPUS. ONLINE. ON YOUR ID.

Since entering conference play, all four of the quarterbacks it has faced are competing to be named to the all-Big 12 team. TEXAS 6 Texas quarterback Case McCoy passes during the first half of the game against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas Oct. 8. The Jayhawks will face one of the Longhorns young quarterbacks Saturday. Texas freshman David Ash and sophomore McCoy took over the position for Garrett Gilbert earlier this season. This week, the Jayhawks will get a break from that trend. Texas coach Mack Brown has yet to name a starter, but freshman David Ash has started to see the majority of the snaps since he and sophomore Case McCoy took over for Garrett Gilbert. "He's a young guy, but at the same time he's learning the game as he is going." Kansas sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. "You can see watching the first game to the Oklahoma State game, he's improved a lot." With a young quarterback under center, the propensity for mistakes increases, especially under heavy defensive pressure. It has shown, with Ash throwing four interceptions compared with three touchdown passes. ASSOCIATED PRESS "We just have to go in there, try to play our best and get into his head, try to get him to make a bad pass so we can make some picks," Patmon said. Ash came to Austin with the reputation of a dual threat quarterback, but outside of the Longhorns' second game of the season, when he rushed for 36 yards against BYU. Ash didn't have positive rushing yards until last week against Oklahoma State. Even so, his quickness still brings an added element of danger to opponents trying to game plan for him. "He can make a play," junior cornerback Greg Brown said. "He's not super fast, but when he's in scrambling situations he can go out there and make a play out of nothing." The Longhorns have had success by relying on other people to make plays while Ash and McCoy gain experience by being thrown into the fire. Freshman wide receiver Jaxon Shipley has three receiving touchdowns on the year, and freshman running back Malcolm Brown has 516 yards on the ground for the Longhorns. Brown has teamed up with senior running back Foswhitt Whittaker for seven rushing touchdowns. Brown and Whittaker are each averaging at least 5.0 yards per carry. "The biggest asset that they The opportunity to rough up a young quarterback is not a gift a team receives every day, especially a team with as tough of a schedule as the Jayhawks. have is they're fast, and their speed makes up for some of the mistakes that their guys make," junior linebacker Toben Opurum said. It is an opportunity the Jayhawk defense can't let slip through their hands. "Every game is a chance to get confidence, but coming in here and getting the best of an inexperienced quarterback could help us get our swag back as a defense, Brown said. — Edited by Alexandra Esposito INTERNATIONAL Brazil's Sports Minister resigns after allegations cleared MINISTERIO DE INTERIOR INFORMACIONES Y SERVICIO PÚBLICO CONTRIBUTO DE LA SENIDA DEL PREMIER DIPLOMA CONTROLE DE LA PREMIER DIPLOMA CONTRATO DE LA PREMIER DIPLOMA PRESIDENTE DEL MINISTERIO DE INTERIOR RESPONDERA EN CERTA O EXCELENCIA PRESIDENTE DEL MINISTERIO DE INTERIOR RESPONDERA EN CERTA O EXCELENCIA TARIFALES DEL MINISTERIO DE INTERIOR TERMOS DE LAS TARIFS TARIFAS DE LAS TARIFS TARIFAS DE LAS TARIFS TARIFAS DE LAS TARIFS TERMOS DE LAS TARIFS TARIFAS DE LAS TARIFS TERMOS DE LAS TARIFS TERMOS DE LAS TARIFS INTERIOR DE LA COMUNICACIÓN ASSOCIATED PRESS Brazil's Sports Minister Orlando Silva shows documents as he speaks at the Sports Commission of the Lower House in Brasilia, Brazil, Tuesday. Oct. 18. Silva was accused of taking part in kickback schemes. Although the allegations were dropped, Silva decided to resign in order to avoid further complications with the Brazilian government. ASSOCIATED PRESS SAO PAULO — Brazil's sports minister resigned Wednesday after fighting corruption allegations for more than a week, the sixth minister forced to leave office since June. Sports Minister Orlando Silva maintained his innocence against allegations he took part in a kickback scheme, but said he was resigning to avoid a continuation of a political crisis for the government. "I submitted my resignation. I decided to leave the government Several people have come forward in the past 12 days to accuse Silva of involvement in kickback schemes linked to projects for social sports programs. On Tues- so that I can defend my honor," Silva said after an hour-long meeting with President Dilma Rousseff. day, Brazil's Supreme Court said it opened an investigation into the allegations. Silva has already denied the accusations before a congressional panel. A spokesman with Rousseff's office said no replacement for Silva had been named. Silva was tasked with overseeing Brazil's preparations for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, though his departure is unlikely to effect preparations for those events because responsibilities are spread across many federal ministries, as well as state and city governments. Silva returned from the Pan American Games in Mexico last week to defend himself against the accusations, which first surfaced in the newsmagazine Veja, whose reports on corruption have helped lead to the removal of four other ministers since June. Veja quoted police officer Joao Dias Ferreira, who runs a nonprofit sports youth organization, as saying kickbacks were personally delivered to Silva so that the nonprofit could receive government funds. Silva denies receiving any money from Dias' group and said he believes the allegation was made in retaliation for an investigation he launched into how Dias' group was using government money. A spokeswoman for Brazil's organizing committee for the World Cup said the organization had no comment. A spokesman for the Olympic organizing committee did not return calls, though the group's president, Carlos Nuzman, told the AP last week that the Silva scandal will not affect Rio de Janeiro's preparations for the Olympics. Silva is the sixth minister forced from Rousseff's government. Four of the five who have already left faced corruption allegations. "Brazil must hold the world record now for the number of ministers forced out because of corruption," said Gil Castello Branco, founder of the nonprofit watchdog group Contas Abertas, which campaigns for transparency in government. He said that Silva's exit was inevitable, "but I don't think it will have any affect on the preparations for our two megaevents, the World Cup and the Olympics. Silva is more of a figurehead, the preparations will go ahead without him," Branco said. "This is likely to have more repercussions on Brazil's international reputation than any actual work here," he said. But Ricardo Caldas, a political scientist at the University of Brasilia, said any effects would likely be positive "because the Brazilian government looks like it's fighting corruption." The exit of Rousseff's ministers began in June, when her chief of staff, Antonio Palocci, was forced from his post amid reports about the rapid growth of his personal wealth during his tenure as a legislator, from 2006-2010. Rousseff's approval rating has risen above 70 percent in recent months, and analysts say that is largely due to the perception that she's tackling entrenched corruption. The ministers of agriculture, transportation, and tourism have also resigned following allegations of irregularities.

This is his second entry. Life in Europe is definitely different than my life in Lawrence, Kansas. First off, I still find it hard to fathom that almost everything is closed on Sundays throughout Europe and all stores close by 8 p.m. daily. I guess I'm just spoiled in Lawrence to be able to stop at Wal-Mart or Target any time/ day of the week and get what I PETER TABANI Reed need. However, one thing Lawrence lacks is a waffle stand on every corner. Let me tell you, they are fabulous! But let me get my mind off my stomach for a moment and tell you about life as a basketball player. At least I am playing pro ball, unlike what the NBA players are going through back in the United States. I've tried to follow that a bit via the newspapers and TV, but it still looks like the same mess it was before I left. So at least I know I am playing ball over here. Training camp is Monday through Saturday and consists of running, weightlifting, and practice. The first week we were on the track running each morning at 8. We started out running about 2 miles per day and after a few weeks we reached the 5 mile mark. Three times a week we would head to the weight room after conditioning and get a good lift in. Throughout all of this, we practice from 10-12 and 4:30-6:30 each day. I guess you could kind of say it was like a 6-week Jayhawk boot camp! Our first regular season game was October 8th. We have cut out some of the hardcore conditioning, but I also know from my past experiences at KU that you need to be in top shape to perform.

Snyder was pleased with the team's penalty-free performance in its victory against Kansas. BIG 12 FOOTBALL BH Black Hills Energy A. H. Browne Kansas State offensive line overcomes low expectations ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — Many expected dramatic improvement from Kansas State's defense this season. Hopes were not nearly so high for the offensive line. The No. 11 Wildcats (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) have nonetheless put themselves in the thick of the Big 12 race, with a high-profile showdown against 11th-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday. "We've all taken it upon ourselves to improve every day and show that these guys were great guys, but they're not irreplaceable," center B.J. Finney said. "Losing Shaun and Manase, it hurt us, but by the same token, we had guys that were ready to step up and ready to play because weld been taking preparations two-deep very seriously." Losing that much experience rarely breeds confidence, and it didn't help when center Shaun Simon and left tackle Manase Foketi went down with injuries in the first two weeks of the season. Ever since a sobering near-loss to Eastern Kentucky in their home opener, the Wildcats' offense has gradually become more effective, if not flashy. Quarterback Collin Klein said the offense is consistent, sticking to assignments and fundamentals. He credits offensive line coach Charlie Dickey for much of the growth. So does the rest of the offense. With 6-foot-8, 313-pound senior Zach Hanson filling in at left tackle position and redshirt freshman Finney returning to center, the offensive line looks better than ever. The line lost three seniors — Wade Weibert, Zach Kendall and Kenneth Mayfield — who had helped Daniel Thomas put up one of the most prolific single seasons in school history. Kansas State finished 7-6 and reached a bowl game, while Thomas went on to the NFL. "Coach Dickey does a great job with those guys across the board, making sure they're prepared with the game plans as well as the individual techniques they need from week to week," Klein said. "I know Kansas State's efficiency is particularly apparent inside the opponents' 20-yard line, where the Wildcats have come away with 33 scores on 38 attempts —25 of them touchdowns. While the O-line has committed some costly penalties during this season, it has done a good job eliminating those mistakes lately. discipline that we're gaining' Snyder said. It also speaks to the cohesion that has developed on the offensive line. While that chemistry has continued to build throughout the season, Finney said the majority of the linemen's trust in each other formed during camp. Coach Bill Snyder was especially pleased by a penalty-free performance against Kansas on Saturday. The Wildcats average only 45 yards in penalties per game, the second fewest in the Big 12. "When you hit the field, the trust has to be there," Finney said. "So the trust builds through the season, yes, but the main part of the trust is built during camp before you even hit the game field." The Wildcats know it is essential that all offensive linemen know not only their own roles, but the roles of the other four. "We've really limited those a great deal, so that speaks to the they have and will continue to make great improvement." ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma's team struggles to move past surprising loss Texas Tech wide receiver Alex Torres, right, runs into the end zone for a touchdown in front of Oklahoma defensive back Gabe Linn in the second quarter of the game in Norman, Omaha. Saturday, Oklahoma hopes to refocus after the title-crushing loss. BIG 12 FOOTBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAN, Okla. — After a rare and unexpected loss at home, the questions are suddenly swirling around No.11 Oklahoma. LYNK 9 9 TOMES 86 What happened to a defense that was once so stingy? How did such a powerful offense go a whole quarter without getting a first down? And why can't players seem to find the motivation to practice up to coach Bob Stoops' standards? For the third time in seven games this season, Stoops found himself questioning his team's practice habits and focus. But for the first time, it proved costly. The Sooners (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) had their best-in-the-nation 39-game home winning streak snapped in a 41-38 loss to Texas Tech and now must refocus before playing at No. 10 Kansas State (7-0, 4-0) on "I don't have a magic trick to make them want to play," Stoops said Tuesday. "At the end of the day, they need to understand ... it's about doing the work to be ready for that, to be able to execute against them." Saturday. It'll be hard for Oklahoma to overcome such an ugly performance at home against a team that wasn't ranked at the time and climb The Sooners held a players-only meeting Monday night and talked about the possibility of reaching the BCS title game with one loss just as they did three years ago if they can regroup and finish strong. "We're not panicking. We're not throwing it in for the season." quarterback Landry Jones said. "We're just going to keep playing ball and see what happens." back into title contention in the BCS standings. The Sooners fell apart in the second quarter, following Ryan Broyles' fumble with three straight three-and-outs while the defense allowed 17 straight points. "A lot of guys didn't want to go watch film. A lot of guys didn't want to see themselves play. It was very, very difficult," said Aaron Colvin, who was moved from safety to cornerback after backup Gabe Lynn was ineffective replacing injured starter Jamell Fleming. It wasn't much better immediately after halftime, when Oklahoma went three-and- out again and then let Tech score another touchdown for a 31-7 lead that proved too big to overcome. SOO "But at the same time, we've got to be resilient. ... We still have a chance," Colvin said.

Clifton was playing on momentum after the Jayhawks scored on a penalty kick. Seniors nostalgic about last game at home RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com When the seniors on the soccer team began their college journey, they were roommates in Jayhawk-Towers. Now, after four years, Kelsey Clifton, Kortney Clifton and Jordyn Perdue will play in their last home game together at Jayhawk Soccer Complex on Friday against Oklahoma. Throughout the players' careers, each have spent time as a starter, but this year they've taken a different role. With some of the underclassmen stepping up, it's been a transition. Some players might be frustrated with the move to the bench in their senior season, but the entire group has taken it in stride. "Yeah it has been hard, but seeing how our team is doing so well, it's hard to be mad about that," Kortney, a forward, said. Kortney's twin sister Kelsey, also a forward, has played in 16 games this year and has scored two goals. A fairly reserved person, Kelsey has slowly progressed to a confident player on the field, especially with help from the coaches. "Coming in as a freshman, the one thing I was really lacking was my confidence." Kortney said. "I knew my ability was there, but it was getting that confidence out was kind of hard. Having them there is great." The Clifton sisters have been together every step in their soccer experience, going all the way back to elementary school when they decided to put away the ballet slippers and strap on their soccer cleats. Though they play the same position, Kelsey has a more outgoing personality than Kortney. Kelsey has played in 11 games this year and recorded two shots. "I know this is an opportunity that most girls playing soccer would love to have, and I don't take it for granted at all." Coach Mark Francis said he thinks both Kelsey and Kortney "If we didn't look alike, you wouldn't know we're twins," Kortney said. After finishing last year as the team's most improved player, have handled the transition of less playing time really well. "It's difficult, especially your senior year, when you don't play as much as you're used to playing, but I haven't heard any complaints from them" he said. "If anything, it's made them work harder because they want to prove that they can help us." Even with the change in playing time, Kelsey is happy with her overall experience at Kansas. "I know this is an opportunity that most girls playing soccer would love to have, and I don't take it for granted at all." she said. The third senior on the team this year is Jordyn Perdue, who plays a unique role on the team. "If things get tense in a game or at practice or playing a competition day, and we're all screaming at each other, sometimes it's okay to crack a joke and calm everyone down." Perdue said. jokester, Perdue is also a captain this year. "She's always been somewhat of a leader vocally, but I think she's stepped up in terms of taking control of the situation," Francis said. Other than being the team While all three seniors did not fill up the stat sheet this year, they all have been valuable contributors to the team's overall success. "Everyone's got their role and you know what it is and every single role is important, whether it's on the field or off the field." Perdue said. CROSS COUNTRY Academic Big 12 team sets new Kansas record The Big 12 announced that 15 Kansas cross-country runners have been named to the academic all-Big 12 cross-country teams. Fifteen is the most the team has received in the program's history. Of the 15, there were six runners from the women's team and nine runners from the men's team. The six women are seniors Rebeka Stowe and Cori Christianson and juniors Tessa Turcotte, Allie Marquis, Kathleen Thompson and Devin Wiegers. The nine runners for the men's team are senior Austin Bussing, junior Josh Baden, Sean Proehl and Zach Zarda, and sophomores Jose Muntoz and Josh Munsch. Junior Bun Wilson and freshmen Conner Day and Josh Harsin were named to the second team. The requirement for first team academic-all-league is a 3.20 GPA. The second-team requirement is a 3.00 GPA, and all runners must have competed in at least 60 percent of the team's scheduled races. Each institution's director of student-athlete support services and media relations office nominated the all-conference academic selections. Overall, there were 85 selections for the women and 72 for the men in the conference.

MLB.com --- TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: When was the last World Series rainout? A: Oct. 28, 2008; Game 5 between the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays MLB.com Day Rays MORNING BREW Imagining MLB as a movie Growing up, "Rookie of the Year" was one of my favorite movies to watch. If you haven't seen it, I am referring to the film where a middle school boy breaks his arm and gains a super-human fastball as a result. For a kid who went into the backyard, threw the ball against the fence and pretended to be in the majors, what could be better than a film with a kid who actually gets to play alongside his heroes? By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com. Berkman and Heddo both look like youd be more likely to run into them at a motorcycle bar outside of Colombia, Mo., than in a professional ballpark. This year, while watching the MLB playoffs, I couldn't help but notice that St. Louis Cardinals slugger Lance Berkman looks strikingly similar to the villain from "Rookie of the Year," Alejandro "Butch" Heddo. Both players are on the heavy side, and their faces looked stuffed inside their batting helmets as if they are about to spill over, with mullet-esque hair dangling out the back. And they both have scruffy facial hair. Pair Berkman with his machine-like teammate Albert Pujols, a man who has an evil smirk on his face every at-bat. and then add Yadier Molina, their smug catcher who once spit in an umpire's face when he didn't agree with the call, and you have a perfect trio of Disney quality movie villains. Their opponents, the Texas Rangers, even have the quality redemption story every Hollywood screenwriter dreams of in Josh Hamilton. Even if Hamilton's redemption is from a drug addiction that almost ended his career instead of the more family-friendly broken arm. Now I know there is no way Berkman would taunt a child after hitting a home run off of him, and I know he has a reputation as a good guy in the community, but I can't get the image out of my head. I can't bring myself to root for him to do well either. In fact, I hope Berkman comes to bat with the series on the line. I want to see him cock his bat back, ready to knock a ball out of the park, his tongue hanging out of the corner of his mouth and whipping so hard on a change-up that he falls over, collapsing to the dirt as the Rangers storm the field to celebrate their first World Series Championship.

Until then this is Jordan Webb's team, and he needs to find a way to win or his last two years at Kansas may be more difficult than the first two. Berglund's departure is quite unfortunate because he could have competed for the starting job. He arrived in Lawrence in January after graduating high school early so he could play spring football. I'm not saying quarterback Jordan Webb has done a poor job, but he's just not getting the job done. But the rest of the team isn't either. Reports have said that Berglund loves Lawrence and this University and is wearing Jayhawk clothes back home. That's all fine and dandy, but Berglund won't come back to Kansas unless he's just looking for a quality education. MIL. ABOUT ME LAKERS CANSAY 14 As we all know, the football team is in a downward spiral that coach Turner Gill, his coordinators or the players can't seem to correct. After starting the season 2-0, the team has lost five straight games by an average of 32.6 points. The team is on pace to be one of the worst defensive teams in the history of college football. COMMENTARY We haven't heard a peep about him until, well, now. 4 Berglund shouldn't come back By Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com I would have to think Berglund is reconsidering a return to Lawrence, given the state of the football team. He had offers from more than 10 schools, and I would have to think one of them would still like to have him. Kansas needs four wins in its last five games to become bowl eligible, but I'm sure that won't happen. I'm also confident that this team won't win another game this season. You can call me a Negative Nancy all you want, but I'm just speaking the truth. BUMP, SET, FAIL Do you know who Brock Berglund is? If you don't, that's OK. He's a fresh- Berglund was a three-star recruit by Rivals and Scout and was listed as a dual-threat quarterback. If Berglund wasn't facing legal issues, I bet we would've had a chance to see what he can do, considering that this season is pretty much lost. Webb looked poised to be the quarterback for now and the future at Kansas after the first two games. He had three touchdowns and no interceptions. Since then, it looks like he's revealed his true colors. While he's completed 66.2 percent of his passes, he's thrown five interceptions to go with six touchdowns in five games. that's OK. He's a freshman quarterback from Highlands Ranch, Colo., who was charged with third-degree assault and hasn't been on the sidelines for the Jayhawks at all this season. Instead, he's been in Colorado dealing with his legal issues. ANOTHER LETDOWN Moments of victory few and far between GRACE STEENHAGEN/IOWA STATE DAILY Sophomore setter Erin McNorton and sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc attempt to block Iowa State's freshman outside hitter Hannah Williams as she hits the ball, scoring the final point of the third game. The Kansas volleyball team is now 1-8 in conference play. MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/DK_vball The No. 14 Iowa State volleyball team showed up as advertised Wednesday night. But Kansas coach Ray Bechard said his team failed to show up at all. "They played at an extremely high level, and we did not," Bechard said. "I thought we were subpar in every single aspect." The Jayhawks (13-9, 1-8) failed to reach the 20 point plateau for the first time this season, as they lost to Iowa State (17-3, 8-1) Wednesday night in Ames, Iowa, 15-25, 16-25, 11-25. Beachard brought in 13 players at various points throughout the three set match but failed to stop the Cyclones' first-place offense. "We just couldn't find a combination to slow them down tonight." Bechard said. The Cyclones finished with 10 aces, including four from junior and third sets made a comeback almost impossible. Mayfield. McClinton said she tried to take advantage of every attempt her setters provided her. middle blocker Jamie Straube. The Jayhawks finished with no aces and six service errors. Bechard said that was the most telling statistic of the evening. "I only hope that I can keep contributing more and more to the team," McClinton said. "If that means I have a more significant role, then I'm willing to take it." "Any time they go on runs, whether it's in the middle or at the end of a game, it's hard to come back from that," Tolefree said. "Being in the beginning of the game, it isn't over by any means. But it's the Big 12, and teams like Iowa State don't make many mistakes." Junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree had four kills on 12 attempts. She said letting a team like Iowa State jump out to four- and five-point leads in the first "They mixed it up, serving us a little deep and short at times," Bechard said. "Our serve receivers didn't have their best night." Kansas freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton finished with five kills in 20 total attacks, which was second on the team to the 32 total attacks posted by senior outside hitter Allison Edited by Alexandra Esposito Top recruiting classes have promise FOOTBALL MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com After Mangino resigned following scrutiny of his conduct with players, Gill was put in charge of a program with a bruised public image. When Turner Gill first arrived at Kansas in December 2009, the program had just wiped itself clean of Mark Mangino, the second most successful coach in the University's history. "I came here to try to fix something, and that's what I'm here to do." Gill said. But just how broken was the football program, besides the black eye that it got from the Mangino drama? When Gill was hired, the program was two years removed from its most successful season ever, in which it gained America's attention and brought home a trophy full of oranges. The freshmen on that team were part of the 50th best recruiting class in the NCAA, according to rivals.com, and seven of those recruits are now seniors on this year's team. And it did, as the recruiting class rankings for Kansas improved the following two seasons, though the program took a wild ride of highs and lows. Kansas won a bowl game in 2008, lost its final seven games of the 2009 season, and ended the year with the departure of former coach Mangino. "Whatever team went to the Orange Bowl, you figure they are a team on the rise and you figure that will attract pretty big recruits," senior wide receiver Kale Pick said. When Gill arrived at Kansas, he was taking over a program that had just lost its core group of key players — quarterback Todd Reesing, running back Jake Sharp, and receiver Kerry Meier, to name a few.

Throw out the DAVID SCOTT dmscott@kansan.com The White House announced Tuesday that the administration will take steps to increase college affordability by making it easier to manage student loan debt. Through an executive order, President Obama will move forward with his "Pay as You Earn" proposal that will help reduce monthly student loan payments. By 2014, borrowers will be able cap their payments at 10 percent of their discretionary funds and consolidate their loans, which will reduce interest rates. Obama's proposal will allow more than 1.5 million students to take advantage of the cap and six million students the ability to consolidate their loans in 2012. "In a global economy, putting a college education within reach for every American has never been more important," President Obama said at the plan's announcement in Denver. "But it's also never been more expensive." Molly Iler, a senior in English from Summit, N.J., is a bit skeptical about the feasibility of the idea. She wonders if the program can keep interest rates down while borrowers pay less. But she holds out hope that the president's proposal will help fellow students. "It's unfortunate that financial setbacks can prevent students from pursuing their true dreams," Iler said. "They have to get a job that they know will help them pay back their loans."

I remember writing in my "coffee passport" (an obligatory part of training in which I sampled every Starbucks brew) that every blend tasted like rubberbands. The allure of all-you-can-drink doublechocolate chip frappuccinos screamed "dream job" to my 16-year-old self and convinced me to sign up for a coffee shop job. I took advantage of free beverages while I worked, sticking to teas, the wannabe milk shakes and whatever other non-coffee drinks sounded good. When customers asked for whole bean recommendations, I always pushed the Yukon blend because I liked the bear on the package. I just made up some sort of "it's bold and rich" description and added a "it pairs well with just about anything" at the end. Anytime someone would order a black coffee, I automatically dubbed them a badass. I don't remember that first moment when I willingly consumed espresso, but I know it involved a lot of sugar, syrup and milk. I never looked back. Fast forward six years and now I drink coffee on a daily basis — sometimes twice a day — even black (it doesn't actually make you a badass, but more so, just wonder how much homework and sleep deprivation drove you to prefer coffee black). Thanks to three years too long as a Starbucks barista, I garnered a caffeine addiction and a severe dislike for the crazies in Leawood. Along with that addiction to coffee has come an unfortunate immunity to the effects of caffeine. I still drink it each day, but whether it really provides me with any kind of health benefit remains in question. However, Kylie's feature on page eight sheds light on some of the lesser known perks of coffee consumption. Even if a cup (or three) of joe doesn't give me the same burst of energy it did when I was 16, I'll still drink to its health benefits.

KANSAS IN HEAT // FELLATIO FRUSTRATIONS > Tackling the sticky world of relationships. Contributed photo CATCH OF THE WEEK // KEVIN SMITH > A weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea. Year: Senior Hometown: Dekalb, Ill. Major: Political Science Interested in: Women TURN-ONS:A girl with a unique look, like when a girl has something really interesting going on, but you can't quite figure out what it is. TURN-OFFS: If they don't understand my humor, that's a huge turn-off. They can't take anything too seriously. If you take it too seriously, you wouldn't be able to understand my personality. HOW WOULD YOU WOW A GIRL ON A FIRST DATE? If she's a Kansas girl, then I guess I would get her courtside seats at Allen Fieldhouse. But she has to be a Kansas girl, otherwise that wouldn't work. If she's not a Kansas girl, then I would just have to hope that she's impressed by my intellect. SECRET TALENT: I'm convinced that I'm able to Dougie, although my friends aren't so sure. I just think I'm a lot better at doing it than my friends. IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE IN THE WORLD, LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD IT BE?: Ernest Hemingway, hands down. I think he's an amazing writer. He met some good people, wrote some good books, ate some good food, and drank some good alcohol. I feel like he'd have something profound to tell me or at least pour me some beer. WHY HE'S A CATCH: I'm intelligent, I'm driven and I have an easy smile. | TAYLOR LEWIS | KJHK CALLER ASKS: MICHELLE ANSWERS: Never assume a partner has experience in the sexual act in which you are participating. This might be your girlfriend's first time giving a blow job. She may not have had the opportunity to develop advanced oral technique. Never assume one technique will work for every partner. Every partner is different. You may not want to hear this, but she may have blown the socks off her last partner. Discovering and adapting to a new partner's likes, dislikes, and preferences is part of sexual exploration. Are you certain everything you're doing is working? Also, don't assume your partner's experiences were always positive. She may have negative associations with oral sex or had a partner unwilling to explore satisfying sex with her. Make time and allow for the development of trust in intimacy. Start off by expressing to your girlfriend how much you enjoy giving and receiving oral sex. Be enthusiastic and express your desire to develop intimacy with her and to discover new ways of satisfying each other. Follow this by asking her if you can do anything else to improve her pleasure. Hopefully, by opening up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable, your girlfriend will engage in a similar expression of desire to improve. Opening up, both through communication and physical actions, removing expectations and being selfless are necessary for a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship with your partner.

Sparks flew when Natasha Kothari, a junior from Overland Park, and Glenn Dunne, a junior from Leawood, met. Literally. Natasha had decided to use Nunemaker's oven to bake a cake in September 2009 while Glenn and some friends were playing cards in an adjacent room. The two, who lived in Templin, had briefly met through mutual friends and thought the other was cute, although they never admitted it. "We didn't know the other person liked us, but all of our friends knew," Natasha says. But while Natasha was baking, she accidentally dropped a pot holder into the oven and it burst into flames instantly. She immediately ran upstairs to get help while Glenn observed the whole spectacle. ["Natasha] had just come back from getting her picture taken, and she was all dressed up with a dress and heels." Glenn says. "She just looked gorgeous." The oven fire marked a turn in their soon-to-be relationship. After things calmed down, the two spent the rest of the day together with mutual friends. At the end of the day, a friend took Glenn aside and told him that he needed to make his move on Natasha soon because it was obvious they both liked each other. The next day, two days shy of Natasha's 19th birthday, he asked her out. It's been two years since then, but sparks are still flying between Natasha and Glenn, and the infamous oven fire is still a source of laughs for the couple. "I joked about the fire with her for a while after that," Glenn savs. "And by joke," Natasha responds,"he means he gave me hell for it forever." TAYLOR LEWIS Photo by Travis Young A Fiery Start: Glenn really noticed Natasha after she accidently started an oven fire. 10 4 27 11 sidering that this season is pretty much lost. I would have to think Berglund is reconsidering a return to Lawrence, given the state of the football team. He had offers from more than 10 schools, and I would have to think one of them would still like to have him. I don't see Berglund wearing a Jayhawk uniform when his legal issues settle. Until then this is Jordan Webb's team, and he needs to find a way to win or his last two years at Kansas may be more difficult than the first two. Reports have said that Berglund loves Lawrence and this University and is wearing Jayhawk clothes back home. That's all fine and dandy, but Berglund won't come back to Kansas unless he's just looking for a quality education. Edited by Alexandra Esposito in 2005, the program had just wiped itself clean of Mark Mangino, the second most successful coach in the University's history. But just how broken was the football program, besides the black eye that it got from the Mangino drama? After Mangino resigned following scrutiny of his conduct with players, Gill was put in charge of a program with a bruised public image. "I came here to try to fix something, and that's what I'm here to do." Gill said. When Gill was hired, the program was two years removed from its most successful season ever, in which it gained America's attention and brought home a trophy full of oranges. The freshmen on that team were part of the 50th best recruiting class in the NCAA, according to rivals.com, and seven of those And it did, as the recruiting class rankings for Kansas improved the following two seasons, though the program took a wild ride of highs and lows.

She says she talks with family often, but misses helping her younger sister get ready. After a hard day of classes or your first cold of the year, a common need is parental support. When you realize that dorm food is questionable and you can't eat pizza every night, all you want is a home-cooked meal. These are situations that most college students face. Being homesick is extremely common among students, however, arguably more difficult for out-of-state students with a longer drive home. Students struggle when they first move into their new life and miss specific things from home. For some, these feelings don't change over the years. Moving to college is exciting and terrifying at once. An easy transition into college life is a support system of friends from high school. This is more difficult for out-of-state students with few classmates that go to the same school, like Doug Dawson, a freshman from Austin, Texas. "There was only one other girl KU BY THE NUMBERS: - Percent of students from Kansas: 69.1 - Other states represented at KU: 50 - International Students: 2,093 from 109 countries that came from my high school from my graduating class,” Dawson says. “We don't have a class together so I never really see her.” Source: ku.edu If a student comes to college with few friends it is imperative that they get involved with groups on campus says John Wade, licensed psychologist and outreach coordinator at the University's Counseling and Psychological Services. According to the Student Involvement and Leadership Center there are 559 groups available at KU and these can include anything from religious groups, Greek life and groups related to majors. Finding a support system of new friends is helpful but does not solve the problem. Wade stresses that the adjustment of college takes time. "I think people often expect the first couple weeks to be hard, but it goes on longer than they expected in their minds and it starts to feel problematic" he says. Keeping in contact with home is helpful. Wade says it's OK to call home more often early on in the semester to get that extra support. Amanda Bucher, a junior from Omaha, talks to her mother often to get updates of what is going on with the family. Bucher misses when her family gets together and watching her sister grow up. Bucher has always helped her sister ready for school dances but could not this year due to a conflict with the University's homecoming. "I used to do her hair and makeup and take pictures at the group stuff," Bucher says. The feeling of homesickness is not just for freshman. Over the years, older students still feel homesick. For Bess Drum, a senior from Los Angles, this feeling has increased each year. As a freshman, Drum was so excited about meeting new people and living in a different place that she didn't have time to think about home. "Now it seems like I have more time to think about the future and that includes finding a place to live and a job," Drum says. "Now that I am settled at KU with my academic and social life, I think about the bigger picture." Parents also struggle with their children leaving as much as students do. Rita Drum, Bess' mother, finds it difficult talking to her daughter on the phone. "Sometimes your kids sound one way on the phone and you don't know what's going on behind the scenes." Rita says. She also says that it's difficult to tell whether her daughter is stressed or busy from school, is having a bad day or is homesick. The two don't always have the desired time to talk on the phone so they resort to text messaging. A lack of communication with parents can add stress and increase the feeling of being homesick. Students go through a roller coaster of feelings while being at school. Homesickness is a common feeling among students who are miles from home or down the street.

Through an executive order, President Obama will move forward with his "Pay as You Earn" proposal that will help reduce monthly student loan payments. By 2014, borrowers will be able cap their payments at 10 percent of their discretionary funds and consolidate their loans, which will reduce interest rates. The White House announced Tuesday that the administration will take steps to increase college affordability by making it easier to manage student loan debt.

She wonders if the program can keep interest rates down while borrowers pay less. But she holds out hope that the president's proposal will help fellow students.

STARING AT A COMPUTER SCREEN It's not until you've closed your laptop that you realize you've been staring at it for three hours. The time flew by, but the illuminated rectangle has kept you sucked in with your nose nearly rubbing against the screen. According to Jim Sheedy, optometrist at Pacific University in Portland, some kids may experience what eye doctors are referring to as the three Ds: discomfort, dizziness and lack of depth. Sheedy notes that if you are encountering these problems, you may suffer from "3-D vision syndrome." Sitting the computer at least 18 inches from your face and using an overhead lamp can be a few ways to prevent this from happening. Problems don't just occur with eyesight. For Students use their computers for taking notes, watching videos, studying and social networking. There anything that you can't accomplish on the computer, which is exactly why staring at your computer for hours at a time continues to get a bad rap. New studies are starting to show that many kids suffer from uncorrected eye disorders due to staring at the screen. Photo by Bre Roach Photo by Bre Roeh Starting Contest: Looking at your computer screen for an extended amount of time can have severe effects on your eyes and back. some students, the discomfort can come in the form of neck and back pain. Adam Herpolsheimer, a senior from Wichita, lies on his back while on his computer. "After being on my back long enough, it aches for awhile even after a position change," Herpolsheimer says. With more people experiencing nags when engaging with a computer screen, Sheedy says he believes the computer will eventually need to adapt to better accommodate humans.

Her new favorite coffee is a pomegranate-infused black coffee from Signs of Life, just down the block from her work, but Pollack enjoys switching up where she buys her brew and what flavors she drinks. She is particular about her coffee too. "If it's bad, then it's going to make me mad," she says. "It's going to ruin my morning." Because October is Pollack's busiest month with writing papers, taking tests and working at her job 30-35 hours a week, she ends up drinking more coffee to keep her going. Pollack can spend up to $50 a week on coffee, which means at least one in the morning and one in the afternoon. KYLIE NUT.T Although Pollack loves her coffee, she says she tries to make conscious decisions when drinking it, not only for her bank account, but for her health. Having an increased heart rate from coffee also bothers Pollack often. America is full of coffee drinkers. Ninety percent of the U.S. adult population consumes coffee, and 81 percent of caffeine consumption comes from coffee, says Michel Lucas, professor in the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. According to a number of studies, coffee can have several health benefits. Studies have shown that coffee can lower the risk of depression, the amount of pain while exercising, and the risk of Type 2 diabetes. That daily cup of Joe may not be that vice people once thought it was. Last month, the Harvard School of Public Health released a study that said coffee can reduce the risk of depression in women. This is the largest study that put coffee and depression together, says Lucas, who is also did research for the study. The study followed 50,739 U.S. women with a mean age of 63 who were free from depression at the start of the study in 1996. It found that women who drank four or more cups of coffee per day reduced their risk of depression by 20 percent. When two to three cups of coffee were drunk, the risk was reduced by 15 percent, Lucas says. One in five Americans is affected by depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Feelings of hopelessness, guilt, loss of interest in activities or hobbies that were once pleasurable, and decreased energy can indicate depression. But women are two times more likely to get depression than men, Lucas says. A common explanation for this is hormonal changes, causing girls to be at a higher risk. The type of coffee a woman drinks doesn't matter as long as it contains caffeine. "We cannot assume that it is caffeine or coffee, but [the study] suggests that," Lucas says. Other studies have been conducted at Harvard to determine if various caffeinated beverages, such as tea and soda, have the same effect. "We didn't see any relationship with non-coffee sources of caffeine, mainly because the intake is not enough," he says. Decaffeinated coffee shows the same results. Janani Ganta, a sophomore from Manhattan, says she drinks one coffee during the weekday afternoons when she is the most exhausted. Since Ganta works several 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. security shifts at the residence halls, she is ready to crash halfway through the day. When Ganta has her afternoon coffee she says, "I can actually get through the day. And if I don't have it, I'm just dead. I can't do this." "Drinking coffee is not bad for your health; it's more of a benefit," Lucas says. Especially if you are already a coffee drinker. The effects have not been studied yet on men or young women. "So, it would be interesting to see if we can observe the same kind of relationship," he says. Tyler Weiland, a junior from Waterville, says he drinks at least one coffee in the mornings and sometimes another in the afternoon when he needs a “pick-me-up.” “The caffeine helps me get up and get ready for class and stuff like that in the mornings,” he says. Before drinking a coffee, Weiland says he is less talkative and more subdued. Pollack, Weiland and Ganta each need caffeinated coffee to get them through the day and put them in a good mood. But not only have studies shown coffee and caffeine can help reduce the risk of depression but they can also reduce pain while exercising. 10 8 27 11 Every afternoon during the school week, Jennifer Farr makes a trip to her apartment I don't see Berglund wearing a Jayhawk uniform when his legal issues settle.

That's all fine and dandy, but Berglund won't come back to Kansas unless he's just looking for a quality education. in Kansas in December 2007, the program had just wiped itself clean of Mark Mangino, the second most successful coach in the University's history. When Gill was hired, the program was two years removed from its most successful season ever, in which it gained America's attention and brought home a trophy full of oranges. The freshmen on that team were part of the 50th best recruiting class in the NCAA, according to rivals.com, and seven of those After Mangino resigned following scrutiny of his conduct with players, Gill was put in charge of a program with a bruised public image. But just how broken was the football program, besides the black eye that it got from the Mangino drama? "I came here to try to fix something, and that's what I'm here to do," Gill said. And it did, as the recruiting class rankings for Kansas improved the following two seasons, though the program took a wild ride of highs and lows. Kansas won a bowl game in 2008, lost its final seven games of the 2009 season, and ended the year with the departure of former coach Mangino. When Gill arrived at Kansas, he was taking over a program that had just lost its core group of key players — quarterback Todd Reesing, running back Jake Sharp, and receiver Kerry Meier, to name a few. are a team on the PIC and you figure that will attract pretty big recruits", senior wide receiver Kale Pick said.

Farr, a senior from Overland Park, says once it's noon, she is ready for a hot cup of coffee because it wakes her up again and gets her pumped for her spinning and weights classes she has afterward. Farr knows coffee improves her mood for when she exercises, but she may not realize what else the coffee is doing while she peddles her bike. Two years ago, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign released a study that said an increase in caffeine intake reduces the amount of pain experienced when exercising. Twenty-four college-age men were split into two groups. Half of the men's everyday caffeine consumption was less than 100 milligrams, which is less than a can of Coca-Cola, and the other half consumed more than 400 mg every day, which is between three to four cups of coffee, says Robert Motl, a researcher of the study. The study showed caffeine was associated with the reduction of muscle pain. The effect did not differ between those who were low- and high-users of caffeine Mot says, who is a professor in the department of Kinesiology and Community Health at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The men's heart rate and oxygen levels did not differ when consuming caffeine versus a placebo, which means the caffeine did not have a negative effect while exercising. Caffeine works to lessen pain by blocking adenosine receptors, which stimulate pain in the spinal chord and brain. When the receptors are blocked, which is what the caffeine does, then there is less pain, Motl says. "A Starbucks tall with a shot of espresso might get you there," he says. Motl recommends drinking caffeine before working out because if you experience less pain and if you don't like pain, then you may be able to get to the gym more regularly. Photo Illustrations by Chris Bronson Brew and You: Besides perking you up, coffee offers several health benefits, such as reducing depression and the intensity of pain. Type 2 diabetes is a disorder where the cells of the body become resistant to insulin, which is a hormone, produced by the pancreas, says Jim Lane, a professor of medical psychology at Duke University Medical Center. The pancreas helps transport the glucose from the blood into the cells where it burns as fuel. Since the cells become resistant, the pancreas needs to produce more insulin to overcome the resistance. Eventually, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin and that is when glucose levels rise in the blood and remain abnormally high. About 215,000 Americans who are 20-years-of-age and younger have type 2 diabetes, but it is most prevalent among Americans who are aged 65 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The distribution of type 2 diabetes is shifting toward younger people because childhood obesity is on the rise. Although these three studies show coffee and caffeine have benefits on health, drinking too much can have negative short-term effects. Coffee can cause sleeplessness, stress, and you can become physically dependent on it, Lane says. This means if you miss a day of drinking coffee you can experience caffeine withdrawals, which can result in tiredness, groqginess, and headaches. Because many people do enjoy the effects caffeine has on them, it is perfectly fine to drink coffee as long as it doesn't cause them trouble, Lane says. Many people live stressful lives, so they wind up drinking a lot of coffee to meet deadlines and stay up. Determining the optimal amount of coffee to drink depends on each person because everyone differs in their response to caffeine. "These very individual differences and variations mean that we can't really prescribe a certain amount like one cup is fine or two cups is fine," Lane says. How much caffeine do you need to reduce muscle pain? Since Motl's study says each person needs 4 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight, follow the steps below to see how much caffeine you need: 1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds - Divide your weight by the above pounds - *This is what you weigh in kilograms - Take this number and multiply by four - The number you end up with is the number of milligrams of caffeine you need For example, if someone weighs 160 pounds, take: *160 pounds divided by 2.2064 pounds *This equals 72.53 kilograms *Multiply 72.53 kilograms by 4 milligrams This equals 290 miligrams of caffeine needed to reduce muscle pain. 9 Obama's proposal will allow more than 1.5 million students to take advantage of the cap and six million students the ability to consolidate their loans in 2012.

Reckless Kelly is an Austin, Texas based country band with a rock vibe that sets them apart from other run of the mill country bands. Led by brothers, Cody and Willy Braun, the five-person band formed in 1996, and they have already put out nine albums. Their most recent album Good Luck and True Love came out this September. All of the new songs are either written or co-written by lead singer Willy Braun. All of the new songs are about a range of subjects from being on the road ("Hit the Ground Running") to music in general ("New Moon Over Nashville") to heartbreak ("I Never liked St. Valentine"). The band strives to make each album better than the last, playing every instrument in each song to create the live sound of five musicians jamming to their music. Jayplay talked to frontman Willy Braun to get students excited about their upcoming concert at The Bottleneck on Nov. 1. Q: How did you come up with the name of your band? A: We named the band after an Australian outlaw back in the 1800s. He was really poor so he robbed banks. We just thought it was a really cool name. Q: How would you describe your newest album Good Luck and True Love? How is it different from past albums? A: It's a classic record with killer sound. It's kind of a combination of country and rock. Everything on the album is all played by the band because we didn't have anyone else play on it. It's what we sound like live, and it is different from our last album. Our last one (Somewhere in Time) was a tribute to one of our heroes and a great songwriter, Pinto Bennet. This new album is all original songs. Q: How long have you been singing? 1. How long have you been singing? 2. Pretty much my whole life. My dad is a musician and my brothers and I grew up playing in his band when we were kids. So pretty much for 30 years. Q: Where is the strangest place you have ever written lyrics? A: I don't know if this is strange, but one of the coolest places I have ever written is on this cliff in California overlooking the ocean. When I write, I like to take trips and just go somewhere for three or four days, turn my phone off, and go camping in the woods. Q: What is the most rewarding part of being a musician? A. Oh I think it's the traveling all over the place, and seeing a lot of stuff. You get to meet people, see a lot of cool places and do a lot of things that not very many other people get to do. Q: What is the most challenging part of being a musician? A: Keeping everyone on the road happy. Some of the guys have wives or girlfriends, and it is hard being away from home so much. That is definitely the most challenging part. Q. What song would you say is the soundtrack to your life? THE RAILROADS A: Probably the song on our newest album "Hit the Ground Running". It is about being on the road and if you listen to it, you can see that it is pretty autobiographical. Q: If you were given a day to have any other career, what would it be? A: I would be a carpenter. My grandpa was a carpenter, and I grew up helping him with projects. He taught me how to build so many things. It's probably one of the only other things I am qualified to do. Q: Have you ever been to Lawrence? A: Yeah, we have played at The Bottleneck a few times over the years. It is a nice little town with good bars and bookstores. We have a really good time. Q: What advice do you have for college students aspiring to be musicians? Do it for two weeks and then quit. That's a joke, but it is tough. There are so many ways to get into it, but the only good advice I have is practice, do your homework, and make sure you listen to the old stuff before you go out and start playing gigs. Listening to the old stuff is important. NADIA IMAFIDON Contributed Photo Contributed Photo Reckless Determination: The boys of Pretty Reckless will play the Bottleneck on Nov. 1.

You scored badly on the paper you slaved over, your boyfriend dumped you or you've had a whole series of frustrating events. You scroll down your news feed and see the status of the annoying girl you knew from high school: "Just got a fabulous Chanel bag from my boy, can't wait to show it off!" Suddenly your blood pressure rises and you feel even worse. Sound familiar? AMANDA GAGE It's easy to get sucked into the trap of interpreting all of your friends' chipper posts, smiling pictures and excited statuses as dull in comparison to your own life. Facebook's design even encourages positivity, by having features such as the "Like" button without a corresponding "Hate" button. Research shows that the easy ability to make comparisons on Facebook affects our mental health in a negative way. A recent Stanford University study found that Facebook causes us to underestimate our friends' negative and unhappier posts, and to overestimate their positive, happier posts. This makes us to feel defeated and as if we don't have what it takes to reach our own goals or to be as lucky or attractive as our friends on Facebook. Initially we think about how excited we are for that person, but then the after-effect of those thoughts sink in as we wish we were as lucky or privileged as them. As glamorous as we can make other people's lives out to be, Facebook users should understand that there's a little bibling going on. Facebook can be used as a salve for self-esteem issues, or a quick-fix in a way, says Susan Newman, social psychologist and relationship expert. "On Facebook you can build yourself up into the person you would like to be and you don't have to reveal anything negative or upsetting." The tools Facebook provides can be the perfect palette to create a surface version of you. You're able to convince strangers that you are a fashionista, get stellar grades on everything or are always going to the next big concert. "I think because Facebook is so open, its users are its editors. They can edit their life in whatever way they want," Jahmal Clemons, a senior from Wichita, says. "And if you take the pictures and statuses at face value, you may get a whole different idea of a person than when you actually have a conversation with them." Creating a façade can be alluring, especially because Facebook isn't the physical world. On Facebook, what you see is what you get. You can guide someone's perception of you with a single click. Sebastian Valenzuela, assistant professor in the School of Communications at Catholic University of Chile, concurs. He says that you're defining your personality on Facebook and you can revamp yourself and your image. "People craft personalities on Facebook who want to become more popular to compensate the lack of popularity and connectedness that they encounter in their offline face-to-face world," says Valenzuela, who has been a part of a research team conducting five different studies on how Facebook affects us. Even though we have a tendency to exaggerate about our lives, whether we're doing the exaggerating or witnessing it, it has an effect on us. Bailey Proctor, a freshman from Overland Park, says that she once felt discouraged when she was sick while her friends were out having fun and she saw things they would post. TOMMY GRAHAM "Whenever I see an excited status I'm happy for them, but if I'm not feeling the same, I might post a sad lyric or something to get their attention," Proctor says. Whether stomaching a princess-esque status update or gushing about a new installment in your own life, remind yourself that people do see what you write online and that you have the power to be your best self, despite all the comparisons. In addition to focusing more on yourself, Dr. Newman says that people should focus on Facebook as a vehicle for keeping up with classes and upcoming assignments, communicating with professors and finding jobs, as well as using it as a networking tool to stay connected to friends and family. "Reduce the amount of weight you give to what is posted by others on Facebook," Newman says. "Realize that some puffery may be going on." Photo illustration by Jessica Janasz Un-friend Poor Self-esteem: Not taking Facebook behavior seriously helps keep your confidence up. Make light of statuses and learn to laugh a little: It's easy with some statuses to look beyond comparison and just plain laugh. "If it's a friend, I make fun of them for sometimes posting private stuff, but if I don't know them then I usually just laugh and keep scrolling," says Nicole Leighty, a junior from Andover. The fact of the matter is that it can be a confidence-booster to make light of others' outrageous status updates. Laugh-worky statuses: "I don't mean to be selfish, but I picture myself getting paid!" — Anonymous "Is it Thursday yet?!

According to 19-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist, Elle Puckett, that's all she and her sister Shealeen, 21, hope their new record will become. The sisters started performing 10 years ago at their dad's birthday party for fun. Seven years passed and music continued to be just a hobby, until it became a career in 2008 when they landed a record deal with Tooth & Nail Records, a record label in Seattle. Currently, Poema is recording its second studio album in Los Angeles. After LA, they're hitting the road and stopping in Kansas City on Nov. 8 at The Clubhaus, 5800 Madison Dr., Kansas City, Mo. According to Elle and Shealeen, this album is full of specific life stories, unlike their first album, *Sing It Now*, which they say was more generic. "The first album was more about songs that didn't apply to us." Elle says. "There's a new song called 'Playing with Fire.' It's metaphorical. A boy is fire and it's about how you should know better than to mess with trouble." Elle says this song is her favorite on the new album and it's more relative to her stage in life. experiences. Some of these slices of life you can experience too, through the songs on their upcoming album, available early next year. To find out more about Poema, visit PoemaOfficial.com. "A lot of the songs are really personal." Shealeen, Poema's singer and pianist, says. "My favorite song is the one we wrote for our grandma, 'My Turn to Go.' It's about growing up and the memories we had with her."

For a long time, Lawrence has been notorious for breeding creativity in a variety of different forms. Nowhere is this creativity, and the fostering thereof, more evident than at locally owned art galleries such as the Invisible Hand. The Invisible Hand Gallery features artwork from local and regional artists. It's located at 801 1/2 Massachusetts Street, at the end of an inexplicably creaky hallway directly above La Esquina. It's about as big as a modest bedroom. "The space is really different. It's really small," says Adam Smith, owner and director of Invisible Hand gallery. Invisible Hand functions as a gallery, a custom frame shop, and it features professional level printing services. Smith, who does all the curating for Invisible Hand, builds most the frames for the Lawrence Art Center, and is committed to introducing new art to the city of Lawrence. "I try to have new artists that haven't been shown a lot in Lawrence every month. I try to expose new artists to our community," he says. "I'm showing a lot of contemporary cutting edge stuff." The gallery itself is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 to 5 p.m. It currently features photographs by Mark Luce, a Kansas Citybased photographer. "Silver and Gold, New and Old," a collection of works by University graduate Clinton Ricketts will open as part of a Final Friday event on Oct.28 at 6 p.m. Anyone interested in art for the sake of art is encouraged to attend.

I arrived to my advising appointment 10 minutes early and quietly peeked into the office. Inside a student sat with another adviser chatting about her future. My adviser was busy typing at her computer, so I straightened my loose dress and took a seat in the waiting area. I had made it almost three months into the semester without anyone noticing my swollen body. It was not that I was ashamed, but it was refreshing to have school as the one place in my life where I could forget about the uncertainty of everything. "Well, I didn't even see you come in. Please come, have a seat," Lynn Tidwell said to me. I had met with Tidwell several times while attending the University of Kansas. She had a reputation for being the best adviser. She never missed a tricky loop in the system or forgot to count those precious double dip credits. She treated her profession like an art, carefully maneuvering the pieces, fitting your credits together and showing all the possible options until, at last, your future was settled with a cohesive plan. Even though I was afraid of confronting my plan, something about her was comforting. Tidwell and I greeted each other and then got down to business. "I printed off your credit form and it looks like you only have a few more classes before graduation, Tidwell said. "What would you like to look at today?" I took a breath and looked over at the other student in the office, then turned my attention back to Tidwell. "I will be taking some time off school, and before I go I want to have some sort of plan for when I return," I said. I could see the question at the tips of Tidwell's squinted eyes. "I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a baby in October and plan on taking a year off school to stay at home with my baby," I said. It felt good to say it. But something in the reality of the situation unexpectedly hit my gut leaving a sharpness in my throat. My eyes felt dry, like the quiet before the storm. If Tidwell was shocked, she played it off well. "Well congratulations! A baby, that's great. We will figure out a plan for you. We are going to make this work." Her words were sincere. She was upbeat and optimistic. Then she went to work. She counted credits, double-checked class levels and made sure I met all the requirements. I gazed over her shoulder following her pencil marks. I was 18 credits shy of graduating. I was close enough that giving up wasn't an option, but I couldn't help but feel defeated. My all hard work up to this point couldn't be in vain, could it? Were those sleepless nights of studying all for nothing? What about the daunting pile of debt waiting to be repaid? Not to mention my dreams, my future, my worthiness. I was afraid to blink,afraid to breathe. Tidwell looked at me. I tried to give her a little smile, but the muscles in my cheeks were tight, working hard to control my emotions. All I could manage was a slight twitch at the corner of my lips. "Look, look. If you get this class out of the way next summer, then you can finish in a year being part time," she said without doubt. "You can do this. Just take it slow and steady." Something in her words gave me a glimpse of hope. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but mothers* find a way to do it all the time. The muscles in my cheeks loosened enough for me to flash a half-hearted smile. "You are going to graduate, and your baby will be waiting to see you walk down the hill on commencement. I'll even knit her a Jayhawk hat," Tidwell said. The absurdity of this made me laugh. I never expected my adviser to actually knit my child a hat, but now I was beginning to believe that I might graduate. I left the office thanking Tidwell and made my way to the back door of the building. I sat on a concrete block alone with my thoughts. The suppressed tears welled in my eyes. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. You were suppose to graduate college, find a career, get married and then have a baby. Not start college, get pregnant, and then engaged. The tears began to flow. I reached in my backpack and grabbed my phone. I dialed my fiancé's number desperate to find comfort, to hear somebody tell me it would be all right. Right before I entered the call, a butterfly ripple stirred in my belly. It wasn't a turn of emotions, but the faintest proof of existence from the tiny baby growing inside me. I put the phone down and cupped my belly. Something else inside me shifted with the movement. With one hand still resting on my belly, I dried my tears and took a deep breath. It was time to come to terms with my life, time for me to be the strong one. It would be difficult, but I would graduate. Not for me, not in hopes of becoming a journalist in a big city, but for her. I would graduate so that I could get a professional desk job that offered insurance for her. I would graduate so that one day I can honestly tell her that she can do anything she put her mind to.

I would have to think Berglund is reconsidering a return to Lawrence, given the state of the football team.

When Gill was hired, the program was two years removed from its most successful season ever, in which it gained America's attention and brought home a trophy full of oranges. The freshmen on that team were part of the 50th best recruiting class in the NCAA, according to rivals.com, and seven of those But just how broken was the football program, besides the black eye that it got from the Mangino drama? After Mangino resigned following scrutiny of his conduct with players, Gill was put in charge of a program with a brushed public image. "I came here to try to fix something, and that's what I'm here to do." Gill said. And it did, as the recruiting class rankings for Kansas improved the following two seasons, though the program took a wild ride of highs and lows. Kansas won a bowl game in 2008, lost its final seven games of the 2009 season, and ended the year with the departure of former coach Mangino. figure that will attract pretty big recruits;" senior wide receiver Kale Pike said.

ARRY DAVIS/KANSAN CHEAP AND CREATIVE Great Halloween costumes don't have to cost a fortune BRITTANY CLAMPITT bclampitt@kansan.com With candy, decorations, parties and especially costumes, the cost of Halloween can really rack up. With some effort and research, however, students can find cheap options. The Halloween stores that popped up in the last few weeks offer costumes from about $25 to $100 for adults. "It's really just about what the costume is and how much there is to it," said Meagan Vestal, an employee at the Halloween Express located in the former Borders building on New Hampshire street. Vestal said the more detail work and accessories a costume has to it, the more it will cost. This may mean dressing up as a doctor and wearing a set of scrubs, instead of Elvis Presley in a bedazzled jumpsuit just to save some cash. But, if a doctor just doesn't cut it, there are many cheap options that can serve as the foundation for a costume that just requires a little more imagination and added accessories. Katelyn Boehler, a junior from Overland Park, said she searches online for cheap Halloween costumes, but also has a large collection of old costumes from high school that she can choose from. "I put all the effort into it, I feel like I can reuse it and it's cheaper," Boehler said. Of course, for those people who have a specific, unique idea in mind, creating a Halloween persona from scratch can be beneficial. Some of the best costumes are those the wearer scrounged up from friends' closets and used-clothes stores. "We see people coming and asking for more specific things, Vintage stuff usually, or things like COSTUMES IN A JIFFY FOR MEN: Find or borrow a crisp suit, a white shirt and a pocket square. Add to that a false beard — or if it can be managed, a real one — some temporary white hair paint and a cigar and become "The Most Interesting Man in the World." If that seems too difficult, pull on a pair of jeans, a red and a white striped sweater, a red and a white knit cap, a pair of round glasses and disappear in the crowd as Waldo. 'Well if I was going to make a sailor costume, you guys have high-waisted pants?'$^{TM}$ Brandy Stratton, buyer for Arizona Trading Company on Massachusetts street, said. FOR WOMEN: Halloween can be quite easy for women who want to dress like a favorite celebrity or public figure. A costume inspired by the iconic outfit in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" consists of a little black dress, costume jewelry and hair swept up into a high bun. Carry a cup of coffee and a danish and become Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. The people who are willing to do a little work have the potential for great costumes. Often the best and most admired costumes are made from scratch. Edited by Mandy Matney FINANCES Obama plan to ease loan debt DAVID SCOTT dmscott@kansan.com The White House announced Tuesday that the administration will take steps to increase college affordability by making it easier to manage student loan debt. Through an executive order, President Obama will move forward with his "Pay as You Earn" proposal that will help reduce monthly student loan payments. By 2014, borrowers will be able cap their payments at 10 percent of their discretionary funds and consolidate their loans, which will reduce interest rates. Obama's proposal will allow more than 1.5 million students to take advantage of the cap and six million students the ability to consolidate their loans in 2012. "In a global economy, putting a college education within reach for every American has never been more important," President Obama said at the plan's announcement in Denver. "But it's also never been more expensive." "It's unfortunate that financial setbacks can prevent students from pursuing their true dreams," Iler said. "They have to get a job that they know will help them pay back their loans." Molly Iler, a senior in English from Summit, N.J., is a bit skeptical about the feasibility of the idea. She wonders if the program can keep interest rates down while borrowers pay less. But she holds out hope that the president's proposal will help fellow students.

Flu shots available through next week MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Emily Bissell, a junior from McPherson, was heading through Strong Hall last week to change her major to classical antiquity when she spotted a flu vaccine clinic. In a matter of five minutes, Bissell checked in, signed a consent form and received a shot vaccinating her against the flu virus. "My family has suggested that I get vaccinated since I am currently living in a residence hall," said Bissell. "I saw the tables and thought it was an easy way to get it taken care of. It's very accessible to students." The flu vaccine clinics are part of an effort by KU Student Health Services to give students an easy, cost effective method to vaccinate against the flu virus. Clinics are offered around campus through the beginning of November. Flu season generally peaks in January, but cases of the flu have already been seen in the health center. "We want to promote healthy living on campus," said Mai Hester, communications coordinator for the University. "Getting the flu vaccine is the best way to prevent getting the flu." Also starting this year, the Watkins Memorial Health Center is offering a walk-in clinic for students who become ill as well as a nurse's helpline available 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week. Students can call the help line to find out how to alleviate their symptoms and to see if they need to see a doctor. This prevents unneeded doctor visits as well as the risk of students spreading the virus by coming on campus unnecessarily. The flu shot also assists with students' education. "We are hopefully preventing missing classes," said Ken Sarber, public health educator for the University. Students have the option of immunization through a shot or nasal mist, which cost $15 and $20, respectively. Jacque Bagwell, a nurse giving vaccines for the clinic, sees the benefit of her work. "It's important for your health and the health of those around you." Bagwell said. The vaccination via shot consists of three inactive, non-life flu viruses that are expected to be most common this flu season out of the 200 flu strains in circulation. The flu mist consists STILL WANT A FLU SHOT? Watkins is offering shots and nasal sprays until the end of next week.

Those who have chronic medical conditions are recommended to get the shot. Both vaccinations allow the body to create antibodies against the flu. Pharmacy students also have the opportunity to learn how to give immunizations at the clinic. Patrick Wenger, a second-year pharmacy student from Clay Center, puts his vaccination training and certification to practice through the clinics while under the supervision of a pharmacist. "I get to help people out, and it's a good volunteering opportunity for all the pharmacy students," said Wenger. "I enjoy getting to interact with patients and becoming more comfortable with the process." Wenger even considers opening his own flu clinic someday after he graduates. While there are concerns that immunizations might eventually be ineffective because of their widespread use, Wenger's confident that the vaccines will continue to help flu prevention without any long-term consequences. As for Bissell's unexpected flu vaccination, she feels positive about her experience. Index "I would highly suggest it. It's a really fast process," said Bissell. "I was in and out within five minutes between my classes."

The Treasury Department says it has designated Martin Guadencio Avendano and his two brothers as foreign drug traffickers under the Kingpin Act. That prohibits people in the U.S. from conducting businesses with them and freezes their U.S. assets. The department said Thursday that 42-year-old Avendano lauders money for the cartel's co-leader, Ismael Zambade. The other leader is Joaquin Guzman, known as "El Chapo." Both are fugitive. ROME A top boss from the Gambino crime clan was rearrested in a Rome clinic Thursday after he checked in for medical tests, police said. Rosario Gambino, 69 — convicted by U.S. courts in a Pizza Connection heroin probe and sentenced to 45 years in prison in 1984 — was deported two years ago to Italy so he could serve a 20-year sentence in a separate drug case. SANAA. YEMEN Italian news reports said an Italian tribunal earlier in the week had ordered him released while his lawyers pursue an appeal with the Court of Cassation, Italy's top criminal court. However, police said they moved to arrest him Thursday after an appeals tribunal in Palermo, Sicily, issued a fresh warrant. The official said an airstrike by Yemeni forces killed two in the town of Shaqa on Yemen's south coast. Three others were killed in nearby Ziniibar in clashes with security forces. A Yemeni official says security forces have killed five militants in towns seized by radical Islamists in the country's rebellious south. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. Security has collapsed across the Arab world's poorest country during the eight-month popular uprising seeking to oust President Ali Abdullah Saleh. After daylong meetings with South Korea's government leaders, Panetta told reporters he was concerned by North Korea's pattern of deliberately shifting from periods of modest accommodation to episodes of violent aggression. U. S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expressed doubt Thursday that diplomacy will persuade North Korea to surrender its nuclear weapons. SEOUL. SOUTH KOREA Asked whether he thinks a renewed effort by the Obama administration to explore a possible new round of international negotiations with North Korea will work, he said diplomatic efforts must go on. HEALTH Whooping cough cases reported in Lawrence The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department announced Thursday that there have been six cases of whooping cough in the past month. 1 In a news release, the Health Department said four of the cases involved unvaccinated children. Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a contagious bacterial disease spread through coughing or sneezing next to others, the release said. Symptoms are cold-like, but a violent, or whooping, cough may develop. — Jonathan Shorman Girl, 5, calls 911 for help after driving family car ODD NEWS Authorities said a 5-year-old looking for her mother in Ohio backed a car out of the driveway, then called 911 for help. Mansfield police say Ameleah Kegley backed the car out Monday evening after returning from school to an empty house. According to the Mansfield News Journal, her mother had gone to the hospital with an emergency and her father never got the message. Worried that her mother wasn't home, Amleah decided to look for her and started her mother's 1999 Lincoln Navigator. It backed down the sloped driveway and came to a stop on grass across the street. The girl dialed 911, explained the situation and asked for quick help getting the car back home, because she said her mom would be upset with her.

Cult classic kicks off Halloween mischief NICK SMITH/KANSAN KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com Caleb Hall, a senior from Shawnee, appears on stage with other students in costumes before the annual screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Caleb won first place in the costume contest. If a lascivious transvestite, his gold underwear-sporting creation, and an hour and a half of singing and dancing mixed with violence and sex makes you cringe. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is not the film for you. Or maybe, it is. The film has gained a cult following and its showings, often at midnight and near Halloween, have evolved into interactive events with fans dressed up as Rocky Horror characters. Last night's showing by SUA was in similar fashion. The film tells the story of a young couple that goes to a castle looking for help with a flat tire and find themselves in the company of a crazed band of people led by Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite scientist who has created a Frankenstein-like creature named Rocky Horror. It was poorly received after its original release in 1975, but thrived years later when it developed a newfound following. "It represents that phenomenon where initially nobody knew about it or cared," said John Tibbetts, an associate professor of film and media studies. "Its appeal to a group of younger viewers began to spread, and the word spread not through any design on the part of the publicist but through the people who were digging the film." These film fans often throw props featured in the movie, such as rice, cards and toast, which SUA provided at the showing, as well as shout at the screen, dance and sing with the on-screen action. The night included trivia, dance and costume contests. Caleb Hall, a senior from Shawnee, won first place wearing fishnet stockings, black briefs and leather. Hall said attending public screenings of the film is a cathartic release for him. "You see this horrible movie and you just scream out all your existential angst at it," he said. Hall said he has seen the movie too many times to count, but other movie-goers were getting the full viewing experience for the first time. Nicole Wieghard, a senior from Dover, saw the film for the first time yesterday. "This is my senior year and I've never really gone out for Halloween, so this was the perfect opportunity to do so," Wieghard said. Wieghard planned on taking her cues from more experienced attendees. For those who missed the debauchery, The Rocky Horror Picture Show will play at the Granada Sunday night at midnight. — Edited by Lindsey Deiter ROCKY HORROR PHOTO GALLERY go to www.kansan.com to see exclusive photos from this event. @ @ DON'T MAKE THIS AWAYARD STEPPING INTO HISTORY IAIN TRIMBLE/KANSAN Orlando Begay and Adrian Primeaux, graduates from Haskell University, perform a traditional Native American dance for students at the Spencer Museum of Art. Begay and Primeaux travel all over Kansas performing their dance. Events encourage awareness I'll just stick to the text in the image. JAIN TRIMBLE/KANSAN University students watch scenes from the Twilight series that portray the unhealthy relationships romanticized by the films. The screenings were part of the campus wide Domestic Violence Awareness week. SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com Domestic Violence Awareness week has come to a close,but local activists are asking Kansas students to stay mindful of the cultural norms that could facilitate domestic violence. Domestic violence awareness week began with the annual Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series. This year's speaker was Tony Porter, an educator and activist who brings attention to the social norms of manhood and how those norms perpetuate violence against women. At the end of his presentation Monday night, Porter asked men in the audience willing to change to take the stage. Men filled the Woodruff auditorium stage, overflowing into the aisles. At that moment, Porter turned to Meredith Pavic, president of Commission on the Status of Women, to provide the men with steps. Pavicic, a senior from Leawood, said men could make a difference by being aware of the language and behavior that fosters an unhealthy environment. "Saying I just raped that video game is not OK." Pavicid said. On Wednesday, Cassie Osei, a sophomore from Shawnee, held a lecture on domestic violence in indigenous cultures in America. Victims of domestic violence often do not have the resources available to gain justice for themselves and their perpetrators, and this is especially true for indigenous women who must also overcome barriers of jurisdiction and poverty, Osei said. Osei said speaking about another culture's experience expands people's view of what feminism concerns itself with. "Sexism doesn't live inside its own bubble," Osei said. "I as a black woman experience sexism differently than that of a white woman or an Asian woman." JT Hammons, a senior from Vale Falls, finished domestic violence awareness week off with a discussion on unhealthy relationships in popular culture. Hammons said Twilight is a perfect example of how we romantize unhealthy relationships. "In the film, you constantly see justification for the abuse just like you would see in real life," Hammons said. "Edward, the vampire, uses rhetoric that is often used in domestic violence." About 20 people were in attendance at last night's discussion. Sarah Kraus, a junior from Allen, Texas, said she had seen two of the movies before the discussion. "Before attending this seminar, I never would have thought about the domestic violence present in Twilight," Kraus said. "It just goes to show how we willingly accept these unhealthy trends in our popular culture."

HUSTLED BY A POOL SHARK Nick Sambaluk 图 MOVIES "Puss in Boots" to trounce competition The animated fugitive hero of "Puss in Boots" will run away with the box-office crown this weekend. The 3-D film about a swashbuckling cat burglar is expected to gross about $40 million this weekend, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. Distributor Paramount Pictures is anticipating a softer debut of about $35 million. The two other films debating in wide release are likely to have far more modest debuts. "In Time," a sci-fi action film featuring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, should start off with about $13 million in ticket sales. "The Hum Diary," starring Johnny Depp and one of Hunter S. Thompson's novels, is poised to collect $9 million to $12 million. the movie's opening up a week in the hope of attracting family audiences before the onslaught of kid-centric pictures debuting around Thanksgiving, including Walt Disney Pictures "The Muppets" and the Warner Bros. release "Happy Feet Two." The animated star of "Puss in Boots," voiced by Antonio Banderas, first appeared as a sidekick to "Shrek" in DreamWorks Animations' hit franchise about a green ogre. The DreamWorks movie — which has a production budget of about $130 million — was first set for release by Paramount on Nov. 4. However, Paramount last month moved The film is likely to get off to a slightly worse start than "Megamind," DreamWorks' last fall release, which opened to $46 million last November. Nonetheless, "Puss in Boots" is expected to fare better over the long haul compared with "Megamind," which failed to live up to the success of the studio's other films. Man reports girlfriend as late night intruder ODD NEWS Colorado Springs police said a man's girlfriend unexpectedly came home just before another woman was due to visit, so he called police to report his new acquaintance as a burglar. Police said Gaylor had invited a woman he met online to come to his home after 3 a.m. Wednesday so they could get better acquainted, but his girlfriend came home first. The Gazette reported that 24-year-old Kevin Gaylor was cited with a misdemeanor of false reporting to authorities. Police said that when the other woman arrived, Gaylor called police and falsely reported an intrusion. Gaylor has an unlisted phone number and couldn't be reached for comment.

Women underrepresented in politics The Left perspective By Kelly Cosby kcosby@kansan.com The very real truth is that women are underrepresented in the legislature, and no matter what you want to say about gender equality or gender disparities, this severe underrepresentation is bad for women. It is troubling that recruitment of women in the Republican Party is declining, because this means less overall representation for women. And female Democrat incumbents may face a tough race in the next election. If you have a mustache, I'm going to automatically assume your name is Oscar. The negative effects can be felt both in terms of symbolism and issue representation. The symbolic representation (known as descriptive representation) that comes with simply having higher numbers of women, regardless of how they influence policymaking, plays an important role in getting women in the U.S. involved in the political process. A male legislature can be viewed in some ways as a force of opposition to women's rights groups. Even though I don't believe most men truly "oppose" serving women's interests, it sometimes perceived that way. As Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson from Texas said in The New York Times, men aren't necessarily against legislation driven by women for women; "it was just that they never thought about the issue." It's simply a lack of personal experience with the issues that causes men to overlook legislation needed for gender equality, decreasing violence against women, etc. And even in an ideal world where men thought of these issues first, a lack of women in government would still be a misrepresentation of our population. This is why we have members of the Senate and House distributed from different states; each state's interest is important. It's the same when it comes to demographic traits. This also leads to the idea that more women in the legislature can increase the possibility of good substantive representation, meaning actually representing the interests of women. This is different from descriptive representation because in some cases, of course, a female representative may not necessarily push women's issues through. Some argue that women are far more likely to champion women's causes in Congress, which makes sense. But unless there is a larger group of women serving in the Senate, that substantive representation is compromised. A larger group of women would be more influential. It looks like that may not happen soon, and the current representation women have may be in jeopardy. Kelly Cosby is a senior in Political Science and English from Overland Park Moderate Politics By James Castle jcastle@kansan.com A recent New York Times news story discussed the potential status of women in the 2012 congressional elections. Many people quickly point to the low number of women in the national legislature (and lower legislatures), and how undemocratic this is, given that over half of our population is female, making this group seriously underrepresented. Albeit true, the overall underrepresentation of women in the legislature, though most obvious, is perhaps not the first issue women and their supporters should address. According to the data on the U.S. Congress' webpage, there are 96 women in both the House and the Senate, 78 of them in the House and 18 in the Senate. But only 17 of those women in the House, and only four of the 18 women in the Senate, are Republican. This means 78 percent of women in both the House and the Senate are Democrat. And this gender gap in party representation (perhaps due to many Republicans endorsing traditional gender ideology, which discourages women's presence in the public realm) poses a more immediate problem. According to a 2004 article by political scientist Mala Htun, quotas, that is, set minimum numbers of certain groups — in this case, women — required to represent each party in the legislature, are the most appropriate standard for a category like gender, because gender cross-cuts parties, races, religions, etc. Although an increase in the representation of women increases the focus on women's issues, women nonetheless have little trouble successfully passing the legislation they sponsor relative to male legislators, according to political scientist Kathleen Bratton in her 2005 study on token women in state legislatures. Because American politics is so partisan, it is critical that groups that cross-cut parties are represented relatively evenly in the parties, as this would allow group members on all sides to address women's issues. If half the members of Congress were women, partisan politics would still prevail if all of them were Democra — Castle is a senior from Stiwell in Human Sexuality and Political Science Democrat. View from the Right By Billy McCroy bmccroy@kansan.com Considering that they represent half of the population, women should have representation in Congress. The 2012 election could see the number of female members of Congress grow to new heights. The number of female senators has steadily risen since 1981, when there were only two. There are currently 17 in the United States Senate and 76 female Representatives. However, this entire argument is counterproductive. We will never reach true equality until Congressional members are not seen as either male or female, white or minority, but simply Americans in public office. We must look at these members of Congress on their own achievements; simply collecting them into a group such as, female members of Congress, ignores their individuality. An "equality-enforced" policy would diminish the accomplishments and hurt the legitimacy of the election process. Electing people solely based on their gender is a slap in the face to the people who have successfully been elected regardless of their gender. They should be in Congress based on their political beliefs and elect-ability, not their gender. As long as these public officials vote in the interest of their constituents and the United States of America, they should be viewed as upstanding citizens ready for public office. Personally, I will not take part in the false assumption that female members of Congress possess any different or special qualities than those of male members. The idea that female members are more apt to compromise across the aisle doesn't necessarily achieve that sense of equality that should be striven for. The true beauty of the electoral process is that people will vote for the candidate who best represents their political beliefs. The growing numbers of women in Congress show that Americans feel women can do that. — Billy McCray is a junior in economics from Des Moines, Iowa. FLIRTING Foreign accents still captivate in digital world Picture this: you're having a splendid evening out with your friends, and a man/woman is clearly eyeing you, but is not anyone you would generally consider. Then that person walks over and begins to speak to you and things suddenly change when he or she speaks. Why? The accent. Then you say to yourself: "You just became 50 times hotter and By Emily McCartney emccartney@kansan.com I'm automatically interested." I just realized this about accents after hearing about my friend's fall break escapades in Las Vegas. She had spent her weekend with a lofty international fellow, so naturally I creeped Facebook to check him out. He wasn't necessarily anything special or the type of man I would usually be interested in, but with a brilliant personality and beautiful Australian accent, it totally made sense to me. It's like this huge force comes over you when someone is speaking in an accent. It may be because you have to listen more CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK UDK P If Darth Vader and Lord Voldemort dueled, who would win? @GUK Opinion Darth Vader, duh.

They're able to sweep you off your feet with a simple "hello", and it's mind-boggling! We crave that sexy Collin Firth look-alike to come cruising along and catch our attention with a dreamy "hello". Take this for the contrary: There's a gorgeous man or stunning woman you notice standing across the bar that you absolutely cannot wait to have a conversation with and find out his or her life story. Then the dreaded happens: She opens her mouth and all that's running through your mind is, "my God, how many times can you use the word 'like' in one sentence?" Or he opens his mouth and all you're thinking is, "Will I be able to compare every conversation I ever have with you similar to having a conversation with a wall?" You then wish you could've just stared at him or her from across the room without ever having heard them speak. Communication skills are pertinent to flirting and sparking the beginning of a relationship. With the popularity of conversations via technology these days, people underestimate the power of "the voice". So the next time you spot that cutie from across the room you want to talk to, either speak with an accent, or try to have a conversation that won't make you look so stupid. Both situations can usually turn out awful. You're either going to end up being suckered into a night full of frolics and mistakes with the accent, or a conversation that ends with you wishing you could get the last twenty minutes of your life back.

PAGE 6 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FOOTBALL GAMEDAY PRESENTED BY PREVIEW WAVE KU KANSAS STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE The Kansas offense struggled mightily against Kansas State, along with the rest of the team. The Jayhawks were shut out in the first and third quarters, while the Wildcats scored 28 points in that time. Kansas' two fumbles were costly, as Kansas State was able to convert off of the mistakes. Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb was one of the lone bright spots, completing 21 of 28 passes for 169 yards. ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Pos. NAME No. Year QB Jordan Webb 2 So.

BY THE NUMBERS 38 The number of players on the Kansas roster from Texas 2 The number of victories Kansas has against Texas — both came before 1939. AT A GLANCE MOMENTUM Coming off a 59-21 loss to Kansas State, Kansas is trying to pick up the pieces of a season that has fallen apart. At 2-5 on the year and 0-4 in Big 12 play, Kansas must win four of its next five games to become bowl eligible. With the schedule ahead easing up a bit, the Jayhawks have a chance to be more competitive, but the opportunities for victories should still be rare. It's gone. Kansas appeared deflated out of the tunnel against Kansas State and the result on the field showed it. With the coaching staff coming under fire, the Jayhawks will either be able to rally around their coaches or allow it to further deflate a season that had the air begin leaking out a long time ago. SPECIAL TEAMS Coach Turner Gill said the play of the Kansas special teams has been on track with where he wanted them to be. Junior wide receiver and kick returner D.J. Beshears has 826 yards returning kickoffs this year. He averages 21.7 yards per return and his longest of the season went for 56 yards. Sophomore punter Ron Doherty has kicked eight of his 36 punts longer than 50 yards and has pinned his opponents within the 20-yard line eight times as well. COACHING MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Turner Gill is in the spotlight more than ever after Kansas' lackluster performance against Kansas State. The loss appeared to put frustrated fans over the top, as many have begun to call for Gill's firing. Gill can save and extend his future at Kansas with a victory this Saturday, but he will have to get his players to play at a level that has not been seen in his year and a half at Kansas. PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman running back Darrian Miller. The Jayhawks' leading rusher against Kansas State, Miller should see his number of rushing attempts continue to increase as the coaching staff grows more confident in his abilities every week. Miller was a bright spot in the backfield against Oklahoma, rushing for 66 yards, and he'll have to do the same against Texas for the Jayhawks to come on top. Kansas plays the best it has under Turner Gill. If the defense capitalizes on playing two freshmen quarterbacks and forces a few turnovers — something they haven't done all season — then Baby Jay, Lawrence and Turner Gill might have a reason to finally cheer. BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF PREDICTION 42-24, TEXAS KANSAS QUESTION MARKS With Texas rotating two freshmen quarterbacks throughout the game, the Kansas secondary should have an opportunity to capitalize on some rookie mistakes that freshmen usually make. But opposing quarterbacks have been having a field day with the Jayhawk's secondary, so the Longhorns' young quarterbacks will be looking to capitalize with the opportunity ahead as well. Can the secondary slow down the freshmen quarterbacks for Texas? QUESTION MARKS KANSAS 12 Will Ash or McCoy step up at quarterback? Since taking over for Garrett, neither player has stepped up and really laid last week, playing the whole game, but he completed only 55 percent of his passes for 138 yards and two interceptions. claim to the starting position. Ash had his opportunity STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE The Longhorns have shuffled three quarterbacks around since the start of the season. Garrett Gilbert began the season as the starter, but struggled early and was replaced by the tandem of Case McCoy and David Ash for the game at UCLA. After initial success, the pair struggled in their losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. JOHN HOWE TEXAS 4-2 Gilbert McCoy Pos. NAME No. Year QB David Ash 14 Fr. WR Jaxon Shipley 8 Fr.

Five different players have thrown a touchdown pass for the Longhorns this year. COACHING Mack Brown is in his 14th year at the helm of the Longhorns. He has a 137-35 record at Texas and has led them to two BCS championship games – winning in 2005. Brown was named Big 12 coach of the year twice, in 2005 and 2009. PLAYER TO WATCH Running Back Macolm Brown: The Longhorns' offense centers on the running game, and their most talented runner is Brown. He is averaging five yards per carry and has surpassed the 100-yard mark twice this season. If the Texas offense is going to get going, it will be on the back of Brown. BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ... Fozzy Whittaker takes the opening kickoff back to the house. The Longhorn fans in attendance will get loud and the Jahyhaws offense won't be able respond, leading to another blowout defeat. Texas is a young team trying to rebound from its first losing season under coach Mack Brown. This season the Longhorns have seen mixed results, opening the season with four victories before dropping two straight games to top 10 teams. The Jayhawks offer a chance for the Longhorns to notch a victories. MOMENTUM The Longhorns could use some momentum after losing two straight games. The struggling Jayhawks could provide the perfect confidence booster. SPECIAL TEAMS The Longhorns' running back Fozzy Whittaker is leading the nation in kick returns, averaging 46.5 yards per return. Senior Justin Tucker handles the punting and kicking duties for the Longhorns, making eight of his nine field goal attempts on the year.

SATURDAY, OCT. 29 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY Robert Griffin III leads a Baylor team that is falling in the Big 12 standings. He and the Bears head up to Stillwater to try to upset new conference frontrunner Oklahoma State. Griffin was a leader in the Heisman race until his team started to falter down the stretch. The Bears' offense has been solid but the defense has allowed more than 30 points four times this season. They will have a tough time trying to contain Brandon Weeden and the Cowboys' second-ranked scoring offense. OU Prediction: 52-35 Oklahoma State QU (11) OKLAHOMA @ (10) KANSAS STATE 2:30 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 29 @ STATE @ IOWA STATE (19) TEXAS TECH 6 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 29 ESPN College Gameday had its sights set on Manhattan until Texas Tech came into Norman, Okla., and took down the Sooners. Kansas State remains undefeated, facing its biggest test of the season. Despite their spotless record, the Wildcats still enter Saturday's game as underdogs. A victory for the Wildcats would establish them as true contenders for the BCS title game. Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein has had his way with opposing defenses, rushing for 14 touchdowns and throwing for 14 more, but he faces one of the strongest defenses in the nation against the Sooners. If the Wildcats want to pull the upset, Klein will have to take as much time off the clock while the Wildcats have the ball, wearing down the Sooners' defense and keeping Landry Jones off the field. Prediction: 31-24 Oklahoma Iowa State enters Lubbock, Texas in an all-out free fall, losing four consecutive games since entering Big 12 play. Things don't look to get much better for the Cyclones this weekend, as they get a Red Raiders team hot off its upset victory over the then-undefeated Oklahoma Sooners. Iowa State's defense will face a challenge trying to keep Seth Doege and the Red Raiders' third-ranked offense in check. Doege had one of his best games of the season against the Sooners, throwing for 441 yards and five touchdowns. Prediction: 49-20 Texas Tech MISSOURI @ ATM (16) TEXAS A&M 11 A.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 29 James Franklin takes the Tiger offense to College Station, Texas in a game that soon might be contested regularly in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers have had success against micropoeons opponents but have yet to prove themselves against a team with a winning record from a BCS conference. They will have a tough task slowing down the Aggie offense, ranked in the top 20 of the nation in passing, rushing, and scoring. A victory for the Tigers would rejuvenate their spirits, while a win for the Aggies would keep them relevant in the Big 12 title hunt. Prediction: 38-24 Texas A&M CROSS COUNTRY Team prepares for Texas meet MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com The men's cross country team will face some tough competition this weekend at the Big 12 Championship meet. The Jayhawks will face two-time defending national champions Oklahoma State, as well as Texas, which has one of the nation's top programs, according to Kansas cross country runner Austin Bussing. Bussing said that he is not putting those teams out of reach for this Saturday's Big 12 Championship meet. If any of them have a bad day in College Station, Texas, then the Jayhawks will be ready to take advantage. It is important for the Jayhawks to beat solid teams like Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Iowa State to improve their resume for the national meet. The Kansas men's team is an older group with experience and an obvious strength. They have a depth of talented runners from Bussing, down to the fifth and sixth runners like freshman Reid Buchanan and sophomore Josh Munsch. Bussing is a captain on the team, but he said there are other leaders as well. "Zach Zarda's been real influential and James Wilson. I always describe him as the spark plug, he's the tough guy who gets everybody excited," Bussing said. It's the natural progression of the season for cross country runners to increase speed and decrease race times as they continue to gain strength throughout the season. For the Jayhawks, every runner has made big improvements in running time. Bussing finished as the team's top runner for the first time at the Adidas Invitational in Wisconsin. "I think coach Whittlesey has done an excellent job with not just Austin but the whole team. They continue to improve under his guidance and it's just that time of year where they're starting to run faster now and he has them prepared and ready to go," coach Stanley Redwine said. Freshman runner James Wilson has finished in every spot between first and fourth this season, demonstrating just how close this team is in the times of its races. Commitment to the team has been a point of emphasis all year for the Jayhawks. There always comes a time in the race when a runner starts to feel physical pain, it would be easy to just slow down the runner's pace and coast through the finish line, but Bussing said that when he gets that feeling he thinks of his teammates. He sees them and thinks that if he were to slow down it would hurt his entire team in the standings. When he sees a teammate give a kick and speed up he knows that he has to go with them. "It helps that we are a pretty deep team, from our first guy to our fifth guy we've only got a twenty second gap, so most of the race we're running together and it helps that I've got my teammates right there pushing me just like I do in practice." Wilson said. "It's not only having faith and confidence in yourself but having faith and confidence in the team and realizing that you have a responsibility to the team." Bussing said.

The Jayhawks run with experience and strength. SAFETY Colleges across the country have tightened their use of aerial lifts — or outright eliminated them — a year after a University of Notre Dame student was killed when wind gusts toppled the lift where he was filming football practice. Universities review policies on lift use by videographers ASSOCIATED PRESS Some officials worry that the dangers persist, though, because there's no universal requirement for how schools should use the structures that were intended for construction sites, not practice fields. "We've got to get rid of these things," said David Hougland, director of sports broadcasting at Texas Tech. "No one should ever die or be injured from falling from one of these." Twenty-year-old Declan Sullivan was filming practice on Oct. 27, 2010, when winds of up to 53 mph blew over the lift he was on. After a nearly six-month investigation, university officials acknowledged that their procedures and safeguards were not adequate and paid a $42,000 fine to the state for safety violations. Notre Dame's investigation also found that many schools nationwide did not have specific safety protocols in place for aerial lifts. Since then, dozens of colleges have changed their policies, from handing out copies of the lift guidelines to all videographers to specifying the wind speeds at which the lifts won't be used. Some schools, including Notre Dame, have stopped using them. The most high-profile change has occurred at the University of Florida, which installed six permanent towers at a cost of $650,000 so it could curtail its use of aerial lifts. Chip Howard, an associate athletic director, said the school began reviewing how it uses aerial lifts immediately after Sullivan's death. "All of us nationally kind of took a step back and evaluated what we were doing," Arkansas State athletic director Dean Lee said. "When that happened we got our video staff together and discussed, 'Hey, how do we do things? How do our guys feel when they go up? How high do our lifts go up?' he said. The university found that while videographers were given equipment to monitor the wind — a practice Notre Dame lacked — there wasn't a written policy outlining the wind speeds at which the lifts wouldn't be used. Howard said Florida has adopted a written policy prohibiting their use when the wind is gusting 28 mph or more. Florida then decided its best long-term solution was to install the permanent 41-foot-high towers with lightning rods. The school still occasionally uses lifts, but the need for them is greatly reduced, Howard said. Notre Dame stopped using lifts to film practice after installing remote-controlled cameras on its practice field in the spring. Arkansas State took down a 30-year-old tower that used telephone poles as its base because of safety concerns and replaced it with a 51-foot-high steel tower. Tulane, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech also revised their aerial lift policies. Tulane's now specifies to what heights the two types of lifts it uses can be extended under certain wind conditions, and says the aerial lifts may not be used when gusts reach 25 mph or greater. It also specifies that weather conditions should be checked less than an hour before practice begins and that each lift be equipped with a wind meter. Lori Williams, associate athletic director at the University of Kansas, said one of the biggest challenges as the school reviewed its policy was seeing how it compared with other schools. "What we found is that there isn't one centralized location that said, 'OK, this is exactly what you should do.' It leaves a lot of flexibility to the institutions," she said. Texas Tech already had some of the nation's strictest rules among universities on aerial lifts. It allows videographers to lower lifts if they have safety concerns, requires athletic department staff to monitor weather conditions to ensure the videographer's safety and limits the heights to which lifts can be raised to 20 feet in gusts of 20 mph or more. If winds hit 40 mph, the lifts are banned. Texas Tech had updated its policy just six weeks before Sullivan's death to require that videographers carry hand-held wind meters. It was revised again afterward, requiring all videographers to be certified to use the lifts and requiring daily inspections of the devices. The updated policy was given to all videographers instead of just being posted on a wall, Hougland said. He said Texas Tech hopes to eventually move away from using aerial lifts.

PAGE 8 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2011 CLUB SPORTS Soccer team to face Missouri at tournament RYAN EBY reby@kansan.com The Kansas men's club soccer team concluded its regular season and has now turned its attention to the regional tournament. The Jayhawks will travel to the University of Missouri for the Region IV North Soccer Championships. They open the tournament facing the hosts, the Missouri Tigers on Friday Oct. 28 at 8:30 p.m. This is the first meeting of the year between the rivals. Junior defenseman and coach of the team, Jeremy Chabot, remembers the last match with Missouri as a tough test. "They are a very physical team and always play us really hard," Chabot said. The following day, on Saturday, the team will play a double-header against the University of Oklahoma and Truman State University. First, the Jayhawks will square off against the Oklahoma Sooners at 11 a.m. and then finish with Truman St. at 4 p.m. This is the first time the Jayhawks have played either of these teams. In practice, the Jayhawks are building on teamwork and are focusing on staying positive about their upcoming match-ups. "Coming into these games we just need to maintain a positive attitude in difficult situations throughout the game," said Josh Magness, a senior defenseman from Overland Park. The tournament consists of eight universities and is split into two different pools of teams. The teams play one game against each team in its pool on Friday and Saturday. The top two teams in each pool at the end of the first two days advance to play on Sunday at 11 a.m. in the semifinals. The winners of those matches advance to the regional championship match on Sunday at 4 p.m. The men's club soccer team has experienced highs and lows this season on its road to the regional tournament. The team struggled to score goals on offense at the beginning of the season but improved as the season went on, winning their final game. The Jayhawks look to carry this late-season surge into the tournament. "We got off to a really slow start this season until we hit our groove towards the end," said Taylor Lawson, a center defenseman. "We need to play smart and get back to playing soccer the way we know how. If we do that we will be fine." — Edited by Josh Kantor POOL A 1. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY - ST. LOUIS 3.

The volleyball team will play against Texas A&M this Sunday at 2 p.m. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN FILE PHOTO MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com The volleyball program saw one of its biggest collapses in a heartbreaking loss to Texas A&M, and it was the beginning of a 1-5 stretch that has put the team's postseason chances in question. Worst of all, it happened at home. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, they have a chance to return the favor this Sunday against the Aggies. The layhawks (13-9, 1-8) travel to College Station, Texas, to take on the Aggies (16-5, 5-3) at 2 p.m. in Kansas' only Sunday game of the season. The Jayhawks will try for their second conference win of the season and to avenge their five-game Oct. 8 loss. The final score on that day was 25-14, 25-19, 25-27, 22-25, 13-15. In Big 12 play, the Aggies have won all four of the five-game matches they've played, including the victory against the Jayhawks. In the game on Oct. 8, Kansas finished with more kills, service aces, digs and blocks and had a higher attack percentage. Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc had a career-high 16 kills, but it was the Aggies rallied and escaped Lawrence with a win. Edited by Sarah Champ NBA Beasley countersues agent over benefits Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley is accusing his former agent and an AAU coach of conspiring to forge a relationship with him from the age of 14 and giving his mother improper cash benefits while Beasley starred at Kansas State, all in an effort to land the basketball prodigy as a client. Beasley laid out the allegations in a lawsuit filed in Maryland a month ago in response to agent Joel Bell's wrongful termination lawsuit against him. Beasley said Bell gave his mother living expenses when he went to school there, which would likely violate NCAA rules and federal regulations governing sports agents. The Associated Press left messages for attorneys representing Beasley and Bell seeking comment. Both an attorney for AAU coach Curtis Malone and Malone himself vehemently denied any wrongdoing. "The allegations of impropriety against Mr. Malone are baseless as a matter of law and he denies them," attorney Bill Heyman said. A Kansas State spokesman wrote in an email to the AP that the school is aware of the lawsuit "but at this time we have no further information on which to comment." The allegations were first reported by The Washington Post. The lawsuit states that Beasley grew up in a poor, single-person household in the Washington, D.C. area and often struggled with behavioral and academic issues, which led to him attending six high schools in five years. But he also quickly grew into one of the most promising schoolboy players in the country, teaming up with friend Kevin Durant on a formidable AAU team. When that team folded, Malone invited Beasley to join his D.C. Assault team. The lawsuit said that Beasley's mother, Fatima Smith, did not have the money to pay for her son to play. But Malone told Smith that adidas sponsored his team and she would not have to pay for Beasley to join or any trips be taken. Malone and Beasley developed a close relationship, with the coach taking the player into his home to let him live with him for five years before college, the lawsuit says. All the while, the lawsuit alleges, Bell was giving Malone's team financial support in the hopes that Malone would steer his best players to the agent for representation if they ever needed it.

Cooley is recovering from finger and knee injuries. W — Washington Post TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many times has Cooley been named to the Pro Bowl? A: Twice — NFL.com MVP isn't even playing this season MORNING BREW The player of the year/most valuable player award is reserved for the player that is most valuable in the league each season. As it stands right now, there are a number of players that could be named the NFL's Associated Press POY/MVP. Three players stand out, but another is set apart for a very different reason. By Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com twitter.com/mlavieri Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has led his team to a 7-0 start, making it the only undefeated team in the NFL. He's thrown 20 touchdown passes and only three interceptions, and is on pace to throw for more than 5,400 yards this season. Last year's MVP and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has won the award twice, has also put up impressive numbers. He has thrown 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions, and is projected for more than 5,700 passing yards. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees is also in contention, throwing 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions so far this year. His only MVP trophy came in Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts. All three of these players have won a Super Bowl, yet they aren't my MVP for this season. I would have to give it to Brees' Colt counterpart in Super Bowl XLIV. This quarterback won the Associated Press POY/MVP award four times. Heck, this player isn't even playing right now. It's Peyton Manning. While the team isn't being led by Manning, it's still his team. He has been sidelined with a neck injury and it is unknown if he will return. His backups, Kerry Collins and Matt Painter, have done an awful job under center compared to Manning. The Colts are one of three teams yet to win a game, but it is the only team that has seven losses - the Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams are 0-6. You want to talk about valuable? Manning and the Colts have been in the playoffs the last nine seasons, winning more than 10 games in each of those. From 2003 to 2009, the Colts won 12 games or more. Manning's first season in 1998 resulted in a 3-13 season, with 2001 being the only other season he finished below .500 (6-10). The Colts have been contenders for the last decade with Manning as their field general. Indianapolis has been competitive in all but two games this year, but with Manning under center, there isn't a doubt in my mind that it would have won those games. this is a quarterback that has 399 career touchdown passes, 54,828 total yards, and has started every game since he broke into the league (208), until that streak was snapped this season. It was the longest active streak and was second KU in NFL history behind Brett Favre with 297. He isn't just one of the greatest quarter-backs ever, but one of the game's greatest players. He is for sure a Hall of Famer. The Colts' lack of success shows how important Manning is to the team. There is a reason he has won the award four times. This season should be his fifth, even if he doesn't play a snap. — Edited by Lindsey Deiter THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Basketball 火场逃生 V 足球 1234567890 Sport Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs.

As the Kansas football team continues to go off the rails, fans, boosters and columnists alike are clamoring for the return of the once-adored, then-banished Mangino. But anyone advocating for the return of the man who is larger-than-life, both literally and figuratively, needs to take off their rose-colored glasses. On Oct. 20, Bill Reiter from FOXSports.com penned a column suggesting the Jayhawks (2-5) dump current coach Turner Gill and replace him with Mangino, who left after the 2009 season. Reiter said that if Kansas does not act soon, Mangino could be groomed as Bill Snyder's eventual replacement at K-State. And after last Saturday's deflating 59-21 loss to the Wildcats, several Jayhawk fans took to Twitter demanding Mangino be rehired. Yes, Mangino was at the helm for Kansas' most successful football season ever. And yes, the fiery coach did some great things in his eight years in charge. But the deification of a man who was run out of town less than two years ago shows an absurd panic level. Even if Turner Gill is not the right man for the job, Mangino should never be considered for the position again. The Jayhawks face regional competition in the Big 12 invitational Page 7 Yes, people do change. If he is truly repentant for his words, Mangino should get a second shot somewhere. But that place should not, under any circumstances, be at Kansas. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM TRAVELS TO TEXAS — Edited by Josh Kantor 180 With all this in mind, why are people longing for Mangino? Part of it could be that Gill, his successor, is his complete antithesis. When Mangino's trademark rage was directed at other schools or officials, fans loved it. On the other hand, at no point in his first two bumpy years in charge of Kansas has Gill shown one ounce of rage. Right or wrong, fans are interpreting Gill's lack of blowups as apathy. But on the heels of Mangino, a level head is exactly what this program needed. Before delving into Mangino's 'resignation,' let's look at the big picture. In his eight years with the jayhawks, Mangino had only one season with a winning record in Big 12 play. In fact, Mangino only had three winning seasons all together. He had a winning record against only one B1 2 Goe (Iowa State). Against the three powerhousees of the last decade — Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech — Mangino was a combined 0-12. In his team's miracle 2007 season, Mangino avoided all three of those schools. Mangino was the subject of an internal investigation in late 2009 after stories of his abusive conduct began leaking out. In November of that year, former Kansas wide receiver Raymond Brown told ESPN that he wanted to hurt Mangino after one incident, saying the coach yelled "If you don't shut up, I'm going to send you back to St. Louis so you can get shot with your homies" Brown's younger brother had previously survived a shooting that put a bullet in his arm. As far as exiles go, Mangino falls a little closer to Napoleon than the Dalai Lama. His departure was a messy combination of failure on the field and fury off it. Seven consecutive losses in the Big 12 pushed Mangino's team out of bowl eligibility, but it was his off-the-field anglibility that pushed him out of a job.

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN FILE PHOTO ONLY A WIN WILL DO V RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Even though it is senior day at lajhawk Socer Complex, the jayhawks are more focused on working toward their future goal of making the NCAA Tournament than reminiscing about the past. In order to fulfil that ultimate ambition, Kansas (11- 17) must get past Oklahoma (6-12) in today's home season finale. "There's no bigger senior day gift that we can give the team than winning and knowing we're putting ourselves that much closer to the NCAA tournament," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. The Sooners (6-12) come into this game with a winor-go-home scenario. If they do not beat the Jayhawks then they do not qualify for the Big 12 Tournament next week in San Antonio. In order to get over this final regular season hurdle, the Jayhawks will rely on the continued consistent play of freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. Stroud holds an 8-3 record in goal this year. She split time with junior Kat Liebetrau early in the season, but because of injuries, Stroud stepped in to the goaltender role full time. "It's actually been really exciting," Stroud said. "This is something I've been working towards the past year." While Stroud secured the starting spot, she looks to improve her skills every day. "I need to keep that aggressive mentality, where I'm competing against myself now, and I want to do better than my last game and I want the other team to scout me." Stroud said. "I want them to be worried about me." Another important factor for changing positions. the Jayhawks will be to have their attacks attacking the goal. The team had no problem doing that last Sunday against Iowa State, posting six goals, but now it needs to sustain that through the rest of year. "I think we were so mad that we lost against Mizzou and we wanted to come out and demolish the team we were playing," freshman forward Jamie Fletcher said. The key will be "making sure that we're all doing our job," Hillis said. "When we get on the field, the coaches have given us a game plan, but after that it's kind of up to us." Fletcher was asked to move to the forward position after playing in the midfield for most of her soccer career. In her first year in the program, Sophomore Madi Hillis is another player who changed positions, moving from midfield to defender. Making this change has allowed her to become a more outspoken person on the field. Hillis said she's taken on a bigger leadership role compared with her freshman year, despite the challenges of Another realization for players is once the whistle blows, the responsibility of winning the game is on them. And at this point of the season, the players must be counted on to execute that game plan, so they can focus on the task at hand: getting the win that will get them one step closer to the NCAA tournament. "It's the mentality that we're looking for, it's not the Xs and the Os," Francis said. It's more just coming out and competing and they've done a fantastic job with that." - Edited by Lindsey Deiter BIG 12 Football homecoming for Jayhawks from Texas C. KLEIN 7 KANNA 35 MIKE VERNON MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Junior defensive ten Toben Opurn pursues Kansas State's Collin Klein in the first half of last Saturday's Sunflower Showdown at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks were defeated 21-59 and will face texas next weekend. Kansas is now 2-5 for the season. On Saturday, the Jayhawks will be heading home in a sense. One of those players heading close to home is junior defensive end Toben Opurum. Growing up in Dallas, Opurum knows all too well the prominence that the Longhorns carry in his home state. Traveling to the Lone Star State for Saturday's game against Texas will be a homecoming for the 38 Jayhawks from Texas. Families and friends of the Kansas players will be in attendance at 100,000-plus fans in Darrel K. Royal Stadium. "It really doesn't matter where you are, once you're in the state of Texas you're going to see burnt orange everywhere and you're going to see Texas fans in every part of the state." Opurum said. CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN And he used to be in that category himself. Even though he said he used to watch mostly professional football, Opurum said Texas football was just about the only college football team he watched. Growing up a fan of the Longhorns, Opurum said their former quarterback Vince Young is one of his favorite quarterbacks of all time. But like many of the Texans on the Kansas football roster, Opurum never got an opportunity to play for the college team he grew up watching. This weekend will be his chance to play in the state capital and show that he deserved a look from the state's flagship school. "It will be an opportunity for me and all the other guys from Texas on the team to prove them wrong." Oprum said. Coach Turner Gill said he understands what playing Texas means to his players. But he also said that that right now, he's just trying to make sure the team has a great opportunity to compete and has a chance to win the game. And playing against the two freshmen quarterbacks that Texas rotates will give the Jayhawks just that. The two interceptions that Kansas has forced and the five total turnovers the defense has gained both rank as the second lowest number in the nation. Defending against the two freshmen will give Kansas its best chance to right those numbers. "Obviously people are going to want to take advantage of them being younger," Opurum said. "But at the same time, they're very talented quarterbacks and they'll make big plays for them just as much as hey'll make small mistakes." To try and ensure that the small mistakes will come, Opurum said the Jayhawks will blitz more this week and generally be more aggressive. Senior center Jeremiah Hatch is responding by preparing for a But because Hatch grew up in Texas, he knows that a team has got to play its best in front of the sea of burnt orange that he grew up around. team that blitzes more than any other offensive coordinator Chuck Long has said he's seen. "Anytime you get to go to Texas, you're going to bring your 'A game,' Hatch said. "This game, in Texas, your hometown, you bring your 'A game.'

"This morning he woke up and just off the spur of the moment said to me, "today's the day." Moloney said they made the signs in the afternoon and later gathered their friends together to wait for the couple to finish eating. Meyer was in contact with Maloney via text message as he and Auld finished their dinner at Free State Brewery. As the couple came walking along the opposite side of the street, the group of friends raised the lit sign, which was powered by the cigarette lighter of Moloney's truck. Meyer then dropped to one knee and proposed to Auld with a diamond ring. Auld said "yes" as a crowd of onlookers cheered in approval. "I had the idea in the back of my mind for a long time." Meyer said as everyone gathered to congratulate the couple. "We've been dating for six and a half years, so I've been thinking about this forever and I decided I wanted to do it tonight."

CAMPUS Chancellor signs Berlin Declaration Edited by Joel Petterson CLAIRE MCINERNY cmcinerny@kansan.com The University is making international news - this time not for its discoveries, but rather for the availability of its research. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little recently signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Science and Humanities (Berlin 9), which affirms that Kansas researchers' findings are available to the public. The University of Kansas is the first public university to have an open-access policy to information, and one of the first American universities to sign the Berlin 9. Other signatories include Harvard, Duke and Oregon. Rebecca Smith, executive director of communications for KU libraries, said making research available to everyone is a priority for the University. "We've seen a tremendous increase in the research that's been conducted by KU faculty and staff," Smith said. "What we're seeing is faculty research is having a much broader reach than it has before, University researchers work with the journal to deposit the article in KU Scholar Works, the University's research database. KU Scholar Works is available to the public through Google, so students around the world can access the University's research online, rather than through expensive journal subscriptions. All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2011 The University Daily Kansan Under the University's current open access policy, which was established last year, articles written by faculty members and published in peer-reviewed journals must be available to the public. It was this policy that enabled the University to sign the Berlin 9 declaration.

Associated Press NEWS AROUND THE WORLD --- TEGUCIGALPA. HONDURAS On Honduras' swampy Mosquitia coast, entire villages have made a way of life off the country's massive cocaine transshipment trade. In broad daylight, men, women and children descend on passing go-fast boats to offload bales of cocaine destined for the United States. Along the Atlantic coast, the wealthy elite have accumulated dozens of ranches, vachts and mansions from the drug trade. And in San Pedro Sula, local gangs moving drugs north have spawned armies of street-level dealers whose violence has given the rougher neighborhoods of the northern industrial city a homicide rate that is only comparable to Kabul, Afghanistan. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM Ships sailing under Britain's flag will be permitted to carry armed guards on some perilous routes to combat the threat from pirates, the prime minister said Sunday. David Cameron said Britain was reversing its opposition to the use of weapons aboard ships, amid mounting concern about the risks of vessels and crew being seized by pirates — particularly off Somalia's coast. Cameron's office said the use of weapons on British-flagged ships is banned under firearms laws, but that new rules would be in place within a month. TEHRAN, IRAN Iran's parliament is set to summon President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over an economic scandal and his polices after the required number of lawmakers signed a petition Sunday, the latest salvo in a long battle between the president and his rivals. Ahmadinejad would be the first president to be hauled before the Iranian parliament, a serious blow to his standing in a the conflict involving the president, lawmakers and Iran's powerful clerics. At least 73 lawmakers signed the petition to question Ahmadinejad, just above one-quarter of the 290 members required by Iran's constitution to call in a president.

Sunday For more traditional Halloween activities, look no further than Schaake's Pumpkin Patch. "It's the family thing to do every year," said Julie Embrey, Lawrence resident. "I've brought my 15-year-old out every year and taken the 'how tall you fall' pictures." The pumpkin patch sells pumpkins for 40 cents per pound and offers other fall activities such as hay rides and a hay maze. Today is the last day the patch is open to the public, something Sheila Lynch, who works on the farm, is excited for. "It's kind of a happy day," Lynch said. "It's a very long month." And the time leading up to Halloween is even longer. Although the pumpkin patch is only open one month of a year, Lynch said they spend six months preparing, with pumpkins being planted in late June. The fully-operational farm also grows corn, soy beans, squash and gourds. Todav With the popularity of shows such as "The Vampire Diaries" and "True Blood" and films such as "Twilight", the supernatural has experienced a rebirth, Gothic has been around much longer than Edward Cullen. That evolution is the subject of The Gothic Imagination, a new book written by John C. Tibbetts, an associate professor of film and media studies. "Today we have got the zombies and the vampires and all of that making their fresh appearance," Tibbetts said. "Nothing new there at all, but they're reaching a new generation." Today, Tibbett is discussing his book in Alderson Auditorium at 2:30 p.m., which features interviews with prominent creative figures in the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres such as Stephen King, Ray Bradbury and Robert Bloch. Beyond the obvious horror movie connection, Tibbetts said that Halloween and Gothic works both depend on people being able to get enough psychological distance from a horrifying subject to find pleasure in inherently scary things such as pain, death and suffering. "Really, all horror fiction is at its root facing mortality with a side-long glance," Tibbets said.

RESEARCH FROM PAGE 1 how they are combating the commercialization of knowledge and how to move toward making open access the default way to share research information. David Shulenburger, a former University provost and former president of the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities, now works to encourage open access. He said it's hard to make advancements in technology and medical fields if the research is not available for all. "Any constraint on scholarly communication stops progress," Shulenburger said. "If there hadn't been open access over the years, what wouldn't we have today?" CAMPUS — Edited by Jason Bennett Group offers support for international students IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The greatest difficulty for international students in the United States is loneliness, according to one student from South Korea. Seyool Oh, a graduate student in aerospace engineering from Inhae, South Korea, solved that problem for some of the University's international students and families Saturday night, with the first general meeting of the International Family Association (IFA) in the Relays Room of the Burge Union. At least 165 people, including international students and their families, attended a dinner and elected IFA officers. Oh said he surveyed 71 international families and found that 31 percent named loneliness as their greatest difficulty in the U.S., over language barriers and keeping up with work. He said that was one reason why he organized the IFA. The survey appeared in People of KU, a book printed by the IFA in 2001. "We were expecting 50 people," Oh said as he ran back and forth with more chairs and snack food. He went to the podium and struggled to make himself heard over guests talking in several languages and children mashing the keys of a piano in the corner. Masud Aziz, a doctoral student in electrical engineering from Bangladesh, attended with is son Itkan. 3. Masud said he didn't know what was happening, beyond the dinner, but thought it sounded like a good opportunity to meet people. Oh, a graduate senator and the organizer of the event, was also the incumbent candidate for IFA president in the meeting's general election. An email from the IFA confirmed his election as president Sunday. He and the IFA vice president Jie Chen, of China, held the same offices in the now-defunct Stouffer Neighborhood Association, which was dissolved by the KU Housing Department last year. Oh said the IFA was a social association and would not address politics or issues of housing. However, he did offer some basic information about international student housing, noting that the majority of residents in Stouffer Place Apartments were international students. But he said the IFAs focus was on family and friendship. The association will try to help international students with their common concerns, which include family, professional studies, the difficulties of cultural integration and "unstable social status." The IFA also confirmed the election Sunday of Yan Chen, of China, as IFA treasurer and Shirong Wen, of China, as secretary. Yi Zhang and Yuoson So were confirmed as representatives of Asian students. Roberto Castillo, a doctoral student of architecture from Caracas, Venezuela, was confirmed at the regional representative for South America. Castillo attended the meeting with his wife, Carla, and daughter, Helena. 2. He didn't know exactly what was on the agenda, but looked forward to opportunities to socialize and share cultures through the association. Oh said the IFA would hold a second meeting to discuss how the remaining positions could be filled. The IFA has not yet announced the date of its next meeting. Oh said the association will meet at least once each semester. — Edited by Laura Nightengale OSTERS ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN Members of the IFA and their families grab food during the International Family Fall Party.

CULTURE Dream becomes reality for Harry Potter fans at the Union dmeredith@kansan.com DANA MEREDITH The movies and books might be over, but the spirit of Harry Potter lived on in the Kansas Union Friday evening. Student Union Activities held a Harry Potter Extravaganza before a double showing of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" in Woodruff Auditorium. Guests enjoyed a variety of Harry Potter-themed treats — courtesy of KU Dining — from butterbeer floats to treacle tarts to snake-shaped pastries to raven claws, which were actually chicken wings. Cooing softly in the hallway, two live owls were on display courtesy of Prairie Park Nature Center. Guests posed for a picture with a cardboard cutout of Ron Weasley, tested their Harry Potter knowledge in a trivia contest and sat at the table of their favorite Hogwarts house. The idea for this Harry Potter celebration all started with a dream. Alison Adkins, associate coordinator for the SUA culinary committee, said she dreamed SUA had a butterbeer festival. In her dream, the festival was a hit — the Kansas quidditch team even made an appearance. One month and many hours of research later, Adkins' dream became a reality, quidditch team and all. "It was really fun to plan." Adkins, a senior from Clay Center, said. "We got to be super creative with it." Patrick Blanchard, coordinator for the SUA culinary committee, said that as far as he knew, this was the first Harry Potter event SUA had ever hosted. He encouraged guests to dress up for the extravaganza. And many did, wearing everything from Gryffindor scarves to replicas of the Sorting Hat to house elf costumes. Daniel Swendson, a senior from Burlington, said he enjoyed the event's atmosphere and food, especially the cauldron cakes. "it's kind of sad that there won't be any more Harry Potter things," he said. "But it's not like they're gone forever. I can just reread the books or rewatch the movies." Mick Snyder, an 8-year-old Lawrence resident, is part of the new generation of Potter fans, carrying on the love for the characters created by author J.K. Rowling. He's already read all seven books in the series and said that it was hard to choose a favorite. "All of them are pretty good," he said. "It's exciting, and it's about magic, and they explore Hogwarts." Adkins said that while she thought Harry Potter would continue to be popular, the opportunity to host events like this one were running out. "I think that this is the last chance for an event like this for a while, which is kind of why it's so fun," she said. "It is kind of like a last goodbye." - Edited by Jayson Jenks THE UNIVERSITY KANS ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN Haylee Slocum, a freshman from Shawnee, and Sam Oppenheimer, a junior from Leawood, pose with "Ron Weasley" in the SUA photobooth at the Harry Potter Extravaganza.

To all the McCollum kids who ride the bus to Mrs. E's, seriously? For Halloween, I'm dressing up as a KU football player with a bag over my head. I'm male, single, straight and I don't drink. I'm also not a fratter. So where do I fit in the University's male population? Overheard at the Hawk: "Ya, but I don't have a condom." The chick replied: "It's Ok. I'm pro choice." The handcuffs on sluts are usually police-issued. The "handcuffs" on mature women are the wedding rings from their husbands. Not considering a fraternity is why you're still alone. Liberal arts and engineering majors, at least we aren't at K-State. We'd all be studying architecture right now. I go out of my way to step on crunchy leaves. To the person talking shit about the basketball team, you probably should transfer. That's a sin around here. There is WAY too much arguing in the FFA. Whatever happened to random funny shit? Editor's note. That's exactly what I've been wondering. Looks like you FFAers are losing your touch. Halloween weekend: so many sluts so little time. I want to go back to a day where the hardest decision you ever had to make was to color the grass yellow-green or green-yellow. I can finally wear my generous bras again without anyone knowing the truth. #perksofgettingdumped Hot girls in Halloween costumes? My slut sense is tingling. Apogee, more like crapogee! If GDIs hate us so much, why do they come to our parties? Yeah, dressed up as the drunk guy My props were Sunkist and Captain Morgan. Food tastes so much better when it's my roommate's. Grinding against a hot Barbie girl is the best thing about Halloween weekend. Carrying a hockey stick was my best idea on Halloween. Creepers back away! How does The Gridiron have enough KU highlights to make their show? EDITORIAL Clever DIY costumes trump unoriginal getups Each year, as October rolls around, we are faced with the daunting question: what am I going to dress up as for Halloween? And those people who truly get into the Halloween spirit spend a significant amount of time coming up with what they consider an unrivaled costume that simply cannot be outdone. And what is so great about a holiday like Halloween is that we are given the freedom to express a side of ourselves we might otherwise keep hidden, at least in public. However, what constitutes a fun and unique costume nowadays has evolved over time and today we are left with unimaginative, revealing caricatures of nothing special. This pervasive trend that has been established within our generation, has led to extremely uncreative and cliché attempts of creating a memorable costume. Enough with the sexual fairy tale characters and the overdone Jersey Shore cast getups. Goldilocks and Little Red Riding hood probably didn't shop at Victoria's Secret, and the Snooki hair poof must be deflated. And sadly with this trend, women tend to believe that their options are limited to "Sexy [insert occupation/animal/famous person/Disney char- actor/manimate object here]." There isn't anything wrong with being "sexy," but students are getting lazy with their costume ideas and are choosing something mindless or rather risqué. The prepackaged costumes appear to be the least creative and honestly, giving a whole new meaning to "Slut-o-ween." In the 2004 Hollywood hit, Mean Girls, a joke about girls and Halloween tells it all, Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan, said, "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." One doesn't have to look far to make that observation. Just walk into any Halloween store and not only is everything overpriced, but the costumes often have less fabric than the average sweater. Men's costumes are sometimes are no better. They usually range on the spectrum between generally goofy and downright grotesque, while channeling something straight out of "Animal House." Check out any online costume store website and under the "funny adult costumes" category, you will find things like a "Fart-O-Meter," "Department of Erections Inmate," "Holy Sh't.*" "When Sh't Hits the Fan," "Frank the Flasher" and something called a "Sperm Tunic." This should be the year of do-it-yourself costumes where you come up with something clever that will get you attention for all the right reasons. If a grown woman wants to dress up in thigh-highs or fishnets or a grown man wants to go as human feces, that's their prerogative, but in doing so, we're moving further away from the scary and fantasy-themed elements that made Halloween. Stefanie Penn for Kansan Editorial Board TECHNOLOGY Late Apple CEO's memory unrealistic What's an occupier of Wall Street to make of a corporate chieftain who relied on cheap Chinese labor, chose not to engage in philanthropy despite an $8 billion fortune, ended his company's corporate giving program, and gained a reputation as a bullying boss? The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs may have embodied the swash-buckling spirit of unrestrained capitalism, but when he died last month, many within Occupy Wall Street praised him as a visionary, without so much as an acknowledgedgment of his numerous shortcomings. Luke Brinker aknutsen@kansan.com "Sad to announce the death of Steve Jobs," the @OPWallStreet Twitter account posted when Jobs died Oct. 5. "Much of Occupy Wall Street and the tech community respect & will miss you." Why the praise for Jobs? Some observers credit the transformative impact of his innovations. Protesters in the Arab Spring and demonstrators against American corporate malfeasance have all taken to their iPhones and iPads to galvanize the masses. Moreover, in a culture that considers corporate tycoons to be brilliant leaders by virtue of their wealth, Occupy Wall Street could assuage concerns about its radicalism by finding a "good" CEO who actually made things to contrast with the financial engineers of Wall Street. Finally, Jobs himself bucked the traditional CEO image. A Buddhist, acid-dropping, Obama-voting, Bob Dylan-listening vegan, his liberal bona fides seemed unimpeachable. Jobs may have charted a contrarian course in his public persona, but he did little to challenge the disturbing trends of corporate America. Last year, reports emerged that workers at Chinese Apple factories, working in sweatshop conditions, were committing suicide in alarming numbers. The factories responded not by improving working conditions, but by forcing workers to sign pledges not to commit suicide. It doesn't take a Jobson genius to realize that Jobs's liberal admirers would have been much more scathing in their assessments of the company if a right-wing billionaire had been at the helm. With its focus on alleviating income inequality and challenging plutocrats' dominance of our political process, Occupy Wall Street aims to change the amoral, profits-before-people mentality at the heart of unmitigated capitalism. And despite the protest movement's name, the problem extends well beyond Wall Street. Wherever corporations discard notions of social responsibility, workplace fairness, and human dignity, intolerable injustices are committed. Anti-plutocratic protesters may take to their Apple products to promote their cause, but there is nothing hypocritical about also holding Jobs and his company to account. Indeed, it is morally essential to do so. Without a frank discussion of Apple's part in a larger corporate culture, Occupy Wall Street's goals won't be achieved. Because of persistent unemployment, Occupy Wall Street is rightly training its focus on the economic challenges confronted by the working and middle classes. The movement must also demand a renewed emphasis on work-life balance and workers' quality of life. Employment and a salary aren't ends in themselves. They're means that allow people to pursue pleasures - leisure time, travel, family activities, books, and so on. To Jobs, the idea that people are more than their occupations was a very foreign notion. According to Walter Isaacson's biography "Steve Jobs," he locked employees in all-night design sessions, lambasted coworkers as "fucking dickless assholes" (sorry, Mom), and governed Apple with an authoritarian streak. Perhaps the most heartbreaking revelation in the new biography is Jobs's reason for wanting Isaacson to write it. Jobs said he wanted his children to know who he was.

ENVIRONMENT Homes aren't so earth friendly Rachel Schwartz rschwartz@kansan.com As the winter months approach, I envision myself taking a long, hot shower after being out in the cold and then curling up in a blanket in my toasty apartment. I don't think doing these things sounds unreasonable. In fact, I know quite a few people who do just that. I know I sure have. And I want to keep doing that too. But, there is a slight problem: greenhouse gas emissions. I thought cars and other vehicles were to blame for producing the most emissions. But, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), electricity is the biggest source, being responsible for 32 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. In general, buildings (yes, that includes your home or apartment) account for as much as 35 percent of these emissions. Looks like it won't be too great of an idea to take those routine long showers or have my apartment blazing hot this winter. I know I can just find alternatives though. I can take speedy hot showers, and, instead of a super toasty apartment, just wear a thermal shirt, bundle with blankets and drink hot chocolate. How do those things contribute to my carbon footprint though? And what else having to do with my apartment does? I wanted to know what to do to have a more eco-friendly home this winter. So, that, my friends, is what I determinedly found out. First, in general, you need to turn off the light bulb (not the one in your head though, that could be bad). When you're gone from the room so should be the light. I bet the lights are never on when Ke$ha is not there because that would mean the party started without her (don't hate on Ke$ha.) Being conscious of whether or not you've turned the lights off is important. If you know you will forget, then stick a note somewhere you will see it such as the door. No worries, though, there are other simple ways to stay warm. Obviously, as I mentioned above On to the next topic: heat. How in the world am I supposed to stay warm without having my heat high? It is recommended that you keep your temperature at 68 degrees. I mean, that's not cold but I'd like it warmer in the winter when I come inside from freezing my butt off. But for each degree you have it higher, it wastes three to five percent more energy, which is quite a lot! Concerning the shower, you don't necessarily have to take tiediously short showers. If you have a normal showerhead, taking short showers is the best way to reduce your water bill. But, you can also install a water-efficient showerhead. This way you can take longer showers and it actually increases the water pressure. Score. is the warm clothes, hot drink and blankets. When it's all sunny outside, all you have to do is keep your curtains or shades open. Then the sun's warm rays will heat up your house. At night, just do the opposite to keep the cold away. Other ways to reduce your carbon footprint include sealing your windows and cracks, insulating your water heater and unplugging electronics when not in use. To see what your carbon footprint is, use the household emissions calculator on the EPA website. Stay warm this winter, reduce your bills and save the environment at the same time. Besides hot chocolate, what could be better than that? - Schwartz is a senior in journalism from Leawood PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER The Dow had its best month since 1987! Cool.

Kansas was defeated 43-0 and remain winless in Big 12 play. This was the first shutout since 2002. Defense struggles to keep Texas off field ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com AUSTIN, Texas- With a freshman quarterback coming off a poor performance in his first career start, the Kansas defense had an opportunity to make stops and gain some much needed confidence for the unit. Instead, they continued to make the opposing offense look good. Kansas allowed the Texas offense to move the ball methodically down the field, eating up 44:07 off the clock while gaining 590 yards of offense, 441 of them on the ground, in the 43-0 loss. "With two young quarterbacks, you definitely want to come in and make a lot of plays," junior safety Bradley McDougall said. "They basically took the game out of his hands with as much running as they did, they didn't throw that much, basically took the game out of his hands and put it in the rest of the offense." Texas freshman quarterback David Ash made some freshman mistakes that were expected to accompany a first-year starter making his second career start. Linebackers Steven Johnson, senior, and Prinz Kande, sophomore, stopped Ash on a fourth down goal line sneak in the second quarter. The next drive Ash threw an interception to junior cornerback Greg Brown in the end zone, temporarily preventing the Longhorns from extending their lead to three scores in the second quarter. "We practice it, condition it. We want it to become a muscle memory type thing to get turnovers. And what made our defense most proud was when we got the fourth-and-goal stop," McDougall said. The Jayhawks had their biggest difficulty getting off the field on third downs. Whenever Kansas cornered the Longhorns into a third down situation, Texas managed to pick up the first, converting 10 of their 13 third downs in the first three quarters. "I wouldn't say the defense was fatigued, it's more assignments and missing the gap. Different things like that. We exercise well, we condition well, guys, we just need to get off the field and make plays. That's what it comes down to." McDougald said. The Longhorns found themselves in third and manageable situations because of the efforts of their running game on first and second downs. They ran early and often, confusing the Kansas defense with fake handoffs and misdirection. Multiple times Linebacker Toben Opurum made a hard hit behind the line of scrimmage on a running back only to discover that he didn't have the ball. "Loading up the box, bringing extra blockers in, just scheming that. It's a lot of beef coming at you when they have two tight ends and extra tackles in," freshman safety Keeston Terry said. fell into the screen trap, allowing the Longhorn lineman to slip past the defenders and create huge running lanes for the backs. Ash did his part, holding onto the ball until the last possible moment, and then he would effortlessly loft the ball over the defenders and into the awaiting arms of his back. Ash didn't have to pass often, but when he did, the defense easily Ash wasn't called on to do much, but he successfully managed the game for the Longhorns. "It might've got a little messed up that they kept getting first downs on third down, but just being on the field a long time, that's just how the game went," Johnson said. "You can't run away from the game, you just have to deal with it." But when the Jayhawk offense can't move the chains and the defense can't get off the field, it makes a long day for the Kansas football program. Edited by Josh Kantor Quote of the Game "I personally know I'm not going to quit and I know my teammates aren't." Senior linebacker Steven Johnson Johnson Game Balls Senior linebacker Steven Johnson: Johnson, the Jayhawks leading tackler on the season, set a new career high with 16 total tackles against the Longhorns on Saturday night. Freshman Safety Keeston Terry: Terry, who struggled in pass coverage earlier in the year, played well in his first game back from a concussion. He appeared to be fully recovered, especially after a hit on Texas freshman receiver Jaxon Shipley that broke up a pass, even if it resulted in a questionable penalty for a hit on a defenseless receiver. Junior safety Bradley McDougald:McDougald is the last line of defense for the Jayhawks, and he proved he was up to the task, posting a career-high 11 tackles that delayed Texas touchdowns. M. KEANEY Johnson T Terry FREDERICK BROWN Game Notes McDougald The glass is half-full: With the season more than halfway over, the end is in sight. The glass is half-empty: With four games left, the Jayhawks are fighting to not become known as one of the worst teams in Kansas football history. But with the offense slowing down in recent weeks and matching the defense's futility, the Jayhawks could be in for a long last month of the season. Gill Hot Seat Watch With another brutal beating, the heat has been turned up and it is safe to say that Gill currently sits on one of the hottest seats in the Nation. A few good stops by the defense on Saturday didn't help him out much as the team continues on a historically awful pace. He'll need bigger success, like a few wins in November, to cool off his chair. Senior Center Jeremiah Hatch: Hatch, the offensive line's leader, was called for a illegal hands to the face penalty in the endzone that resulted in a Safety for the Longhorns. This was a momentum crushing blow, as the Jayhawk defenders had made a goal line stand on fourth down on the previous play. Delay of Game Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd: Shepherd dropped a wide open third down pass from quarterback Jordan Webb that'd've given the Jayhawks a first down, their first of the day not caused by a Texas penalty, and kept the drive alive. Instead, it was another three-and-out and Kansas was forced to punt. Kansas offensive coordinator Chuck Long: With the Kansas offense putting up a meager 46 yards of total offense, some of the blame must fall on Long for not being able to install a competent game plan during the week. Long JAMES K. HOFFMAN Still Questioning Shepherd Will the Jayhawks ever use their Jayhawk formation as more than just a direct snap to the back? As the season has progressed, the Jayhawk formation has stopped yielding any positive results. Maybe the defense would back off if Long called for a pass play out of the formation. Hatch M. KING A. Looking Ahead What once seemed like it might be a winnable game at Iowa State took a drastic turn after the Cyclones rediscovered their early season magic and crushed the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock, Texas. Now the Jayhawks have to travel up to Ames, Iowa and play in front of what will certainly be a fired up fan base. Final Thought The Jayhawk rushing attack that was once a four-headed monster has been slain. If the Jayhawks want to turn their offense around, they will need to go back to the drawing board and think of more creative ways to get the ball moving. There are only so many times that freshman Darrien Miller can be tackled five yards behind the line of scrimmage on a shotgun sweep before the call needs to be ripped out of the playbook.

The running backs were frequently grounded in the backfield. Freshman running back Tony Pierson was the Jayhawks' leading rusher with only 13 yards. "Their defensive front handled our offensive front, and that's kind of the bottom line," coach Turner Gill said. 2015-04-16 16:38:59 Gill was understating the tough lay for the offensive line as the lay- hawks had 11 plays that they had lost yards or rushed for no gain. Now, at 2-6 and 0-5 in Big 12 play, the Jayhawks continue to be a source of futility rather than a source of progress. Gill continues to be the subject of criticism from the fans and media alike. ings that has come along with the stretch that Kansas football has gone through. Long pointed to the team's tough schedule in October, playing Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Kansas State and now Texas. Even Long couldn't deny the trivial feel- "This team is frustrated, I mean we're all frustrated at this point in time," Long said. "We're fighting and scratching to find a win and we're trying to work toward it. Going into the season, we knew October was going to be rough. It came to an exclamation point tonight." Edited by C.J.

Stowe captures All-Big 12 spot MAX GOODWIN editor@kansan.com Both the men's and women's cross country teams finished seventh place at Saturday's Big 12 Championship meet at Texas A&M, but it was unexpected, coach Stanley Redwine said. The Oklahoma State men's team won, making it the fourth straight Big 12 title for the team. For the Iowa State women's cross country team it was the first league title. Senior Rebeka Stowe provided the best news of the day for the Jayhawks with a time of 19:52.3 and an individual seventh-place finish. It was a personal record for Stowe, the best finish for a Kansas women's runner in league history, and qualifies her as an All Big 12 Team member as a top fifteen finisher in the conference meet. It is the second time in her career she has been given the honor of All Big 12. "It's exciting. This course is really flat so I PRd by a lot and that's fun," Stowe said. It was a goal for senior Kara Windisch to stay with Austin Bussing finished first for the Kansas men's team and placed twenty-second overall with a time of 24:22.5. Despite running a good individual race, he still believes there was more he could have done to help the team. Stowe, a strategy that paid off with a personal record for her as well on the Texas A&M course, which she said is very fast. Her seventeenth place finish was just outside the range for the All Big 12 runners. "We really wanted to go out after the Texas A&M guys but instead we put them in position to draft off us for a while and sort of kick us down." Bussing said. "I have to take responsibility for that because being a senior and a captain I should have been the one to tell the guys to ease off a little bit that first mile." Junior Josh Baden said that the men's team needs to focus on staying closer together for the regional meet in two weeks. He finished third for the Jayhawks and 45th overall. The gap between the first and fifth runners was forty seven seconds, more than double the twenty second gap in the previous meet at Wisconsin on Oct. 14. The senior leaders of each Kansas cross country team know that they were capable of a better performance. Windisch said her team could finish as high as third in the Big 12. Bussing said before the meet that the goal was to beat Texas A&M and Iowa State, but both finished higher than Kansas. The team still has a chance to qualify for the national meet if it places high enough in the NCAA Midwest Regional meeting on Nov. 12.

The team taught children and fans how to play quidditch while gathering support for its trip to the World Cup. Fandom fuels new sport's popularity Please help us get to the World Cup in NYC! HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Flying on magic broomsticks is definitely not for muggles, or non-magic people, according to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Despite the challenge, college students across the country have been playing quidditch, a sport created by Rowling but adapted for reality by Xander Manshel at Middlebury College. Most college students ranged in ages from five to nine years old in 1998 when the Sorcerer's Stone was released in the United States. They grew up reading the novels and watching the films. As they read and watched, they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Sam Oppenheimer, a sophomore from Overland Park, is a Kansas quidditch fan. She can be seen at matches decked out in her best wizarding wear. has become a subculture all its own," Oppenheimer said. "I like being a part of it because it is different and it's magical." The novels were a refuge for her growing up. She got into the books because she loved the fantasy genre. Oppenheimer said she found ways to identify with the characters as she grew up with them. "I like that it is a cult classic and it "It's something you have to experience to truly love," said Ronell Sharp, a senior from Arlington, Texas. It is the love and the attachment to the Harry Potter story that propelled the fictional game of quidditch into reality. "I just like that they've taken this ridiculous concept and made it the best they can," Oppenheimer said. "I like knowing that other people feel the same admiration for it that I do." The thirty-minute documentary shows students from across the United States and Canada gathering in New York to play quidditch. They are buying top-of-the-line brooms. They are coming up with Harry Potter jokes. But more than that they are living out their childhood fantasies. On Oct. 20, the International Quidditch Association posted a documentary about last year's World Cup titled "Brooms Up" on YouTube. Encapsulated in the novels are the same elements that exist in sports. There is love and passion. There is fear and loathing. There is sorrow and loss. Sharp plays as a chaser for the Kansas quidditch team. He has never read the books, but he watched the movies when he was growing up. He joined the team after captain Nicole Denney talked to him about the sport when they were working together at the Boys and Girls Club. Sharp said he was skeptical at first but gave the game a try. "You look like a nerd with a broom, running, but once you get out there you realize how difficult it really is and your competitive juices get flowing," Sharp said, "you have to play." The Kansas quidditch team members exemplified that when they traveled to Overland Park on Saturday afternoon to teach local kids how to play quidditch or, as they call it, "kidditch." The team raised money for their upcoming trip to the World Cup, Nov. 12-13. Quidditch is more than a sport to many. The IQA says in its mission statement, "We are born into an entirely pre-fabricated world, and developing and sharing a new idea with others is important to show people that new ideas can exist, that they can be created by young people, and that they can take root and grow in meaningful ways." Generations celebrated their love of Harry Potter and the game that grew out of one college student's alternative to playing bocce ball as IQA Commissioner Alex Benepe says in "Brooms Up." The spirit of the novels moves players and fans. Harry Potter was an orphan who found a home, friends and more at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Quidditch is a sport for anyone. It has brought Potter fans on campus together this year to stand behind the Kansas quidditch team as they take on the World Cup just as Dumbledore's Army stood behind Harry as he took on Voldemort. — Edited by Laura Nightengale VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks conclude October with another defeat $10 OFF A $30 HAIRCUT HAIR // BODY // NAILS // SKIN Mention Coupon at Time of Service and ask for Kelsey! 3727 West 6th Suite C | 785.856.1720 www.dashsalonandspa.com NEVER PACKAGED.

The Jayhawks (13-10, 1-9) showed heart on Sunday afternoon, reaching the 20 point plateau in all four sets, but they ultimately lost to the Texas A&M Aggies (17-5, 6-3) in College Station, Texas, 21-25, 20-25, 26-24, 20-25. The defeat wrapped up a 2-7 October for Kansas. "October wasn't a very good month for us," coach Ray Bechard said. "But we're looking forward to November being something we can look back on and be proud of." The Jayhawks actually reached 20 points first in the opening set, taking a午-29 lead on a kill by sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc. But the Aggies would pull away, scoring four consecutive points en route to an eventual 25-21 win. The first two sets featured a wide gap in digs that favored the Aggies, but the Jayhawks would make the number closer in the final two frames. The Aggies would ultimately out-dig the Jayhawks 71-56, which gave them more opportunities at k'l's. "Our record isn't indicative of what kind of team we are." "They were putting balls down," said freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton. "They were just able to find ways around our defense." Bechard's squad did rally back from a 24-22 deficit in the third set, scoring its final three points on attack errors by Texas A&M junior libero/outside hitter Tori Mellinger. But a tight fourth set would once again go in favor of the Aggies, who got a game-leading 17 kills from senior outside hitter and 2010 All-Big 12 honoree Kelsey Black. ( ) TH McClinton would finish with a highly-efficient 14 kills to only two errors. The progression of McClinton, Jarmoc and the other young players has been a silver lining for the slumping Jayhawks. But Mc "She would be for them what you'd expect her to be," Bechard said, "and that is one of the top performers in the league." RAY BECHARD COACH Clinton said that the losses have stung the underclassmen, too. "I feel like it's hardest on the seniors. This is their last shot at volleyball, so it takes a toll on them," McClintock said. "But everyone feels it." Bechard said that he knows, in the end, his team will be judged by its record, which still stands at three games above. .500 despite the rough October. "Obviously we've had a lot of disappointment," Bechard said. "Our record isn't indicative of what kind of team we are. But that's what the papers say and what the releases say." Edited by C.J.

A:0-8 --- nfl.com Ladies night out with Bill Self MORNING BREW Fact: Before Thursday night I could honestly say I was not obsessed with Kansas Basketball by any means. I have never stayed and attended a game mostly because I wasn't invested. That is not the case anymore. Thursday night, I was given the opportunity to see the players in a non-press conference setting. I attended "Ladies Night Out with Bill Self," a fundraiser for breast cancer research and a cause dear to my heart. This was the ninth year that the basketball team and Bill Self donned their best warm-ups and showed some ladies the ropes of Kansas Basketball. I went into the evening expecting to hang out with ladies at least 30 years older than me and watch the team be mobbed for photos and autographs. I was right. But, from the experience I was able to see the more personal side of the team and discover my love for Kansas Basketball. By Hannah Wise hwise@kansan.com. Barry Hinson, the director of men's basketball operations, kept the ladies entertained with comments about how much he loved their dresses and reminded them to drink up because it is for a good cause. He promised from the very beginning that if a single husband called for someone, all of the women would be hard at work running drills until 1 a.m. The coaching staff introduced the team with a few personal touches. Self introduced Naadir Tharpe as the best dancer on the team, showed off Niko Roberts' freshly broken nose and let the ladies fawn over Thomas Robinson after he returned from an MRI. The women oo-ed and aw-ed over the players. The players were asked numerous times, as they were being photographed, why they chose Kansas. After answers about the quality of the education and the school traditions, the women encouraged the players over and over again to not be one-and-done players. The young men were courteous, funny and honestly lovable with the ladies despite the sometimes tough love they received about the upcoming season. Legendary coach Larry Brown flew in for the occasion. He spent time answering questions with Self. The women knew their stuff. They asked about recruiting practices and how Self would keep the team's free-throw shooting average up despite losing top shooters Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar. Brown explained that when he coached at Kansas he was willing to give a scholarship to a kid who was said to be "a good kid." It didn't matter if the kid looked like he was going to win a championship coming out of high school. Brown was looking for committed, coachable players. Brown and Self agreed that kids that come to Kansas because they just want to play so badly are the ones that are going to be the most successful. The crowd of women agreed, citing Tyrel Reed and Cole Aldrich. The team this year is young. It is a fact that Self and Brown both recognize. Self joked with players when they were demonstrating the Kansas offense that they didn't know it yet. It was a little joke and one that the players recognized as having some truth to it. A woman told Tyshawn Taylor how proud she was of him for growing up during his time at KU. He said thank you. He explained that everyone needs their time to grow and as a team that is what they are doing now, growing and coming together.

Mike Lavieri mlavieri@kansan.com I wonder if that's how the wide receivers feel each time they eat a candy bar. They have a "knockdown board" in the receiver room that shows which receiver has knocked down more defenders on their backs. At one point junior D.J. Beshears was leading with a slim margin over junior Kale Pick. The winner each week would receive a king-size candy bar. We've heard that the team takes extended breaks at practice to simulate a halftime. I'm starting to question if its really because the receivers are too busy sharing their candy with everyone on the team that they just don't feel very good. The offense was on the field for 15 minutes and 53 seconds. It amassed 46 total yards of offense on 36 plays. Texas scored 43 points and had 35 first downs. Kansas would have been better off staying in Lawrence and taking a weekend break to heal its stomach ache than getting on a plane to Austin, Texas, since the Jayhawks' performance was as if they didn't show up. The Jayhawks couldn't get anything going, only getting three first downs on the night. Clearly this team isn't making progress. In fact, it's regressing. How is a team supposed to win a game when it doesn't let its defense catch its breath? Kansas had 11 drives on Saturday - seven ended with punts, one ended with an interception, one ended with a fumble and one ended with a safety. The last one ended with a turnover on downs. Kansas played Oklahoma well, losing 47-17. This came a week after Oklahoma defeated Texas 55-17. Kansas then lost to Kansas State 59-21, while Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech in Norman, Okla., 41-38. Kansas State this weekend lost its undefeated status as Oklahoma won easily 58-17. Next week Kansas plays Iowa State in Ames, Iowa — a team that defeated Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, 41-7. The jayhawks are in for a long rest of the season. Lucky for them, they can now take a backseat to basketball, which starts tomorrow. The spotlight will no longer be on them. If the Jayhawks are going to give up 600 yards and more than 40 points a week, there isn't a point in showing up. Sports Illustrated may have been wrong about the Jayhawks winning two games, since it picked them to win one. But it's correct so far in saying Kansas won't win a conference game.

Willis had eight tackles in the Jayhawks 0-43 defeat Kansas remains winless in Rie 12 play. MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com AUSTIN, TEXAS — Late in the game, it became a race not to break records for Kansas football. The Jayhawks' 28 yards on their last possession of the game gave them 46 yards on the night, just two short of the history books. The statistics for Kansas date back to 1968, and the record for fewest yards in a game is 44. Thirty-seven of those 46 yards came in the fourth quarter when the Longhorns were leading 33-0. After the game, offensive coordinator Chuck Long had little explanation to give for why the offense had a near historical struggle. "They just whooped us," Long said. "It was one of the worst days or nights I've had as a coach." Normally an aid to the Jayhawks struggling defense, the offense provided no relief for the defense. improved. The Jayhawks defense stayed on the field for 44 minutes and seven seconds, and the offense ran 57 less plays than Texas. "It was really frustrating. We couldn't get anything going." Webb said. "Nothing was working that we were doing." When sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb completed a 13-yard pass to sophomore receiver Christian Matthews, the ordinary play marked the third and first final down Kansas had all game. It was also the first time Kansas crossed midfield into Texas' territory. The 43-0 loss to Texas was the first time Kansas had been shut out since 2002. After finishing the first half with 10 yards, it would be easy to assume the Jayhawks would find a way to improve upon that number at halftime. Yet, the halftime adjustments continue to be nonexistent for Kansas as things never On Kansas' first play of the second half, sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb took the snap ready to right the ship. Instead, he ended up with his helmet on the turf; a sack that left Kansas with only two total yards after 16 plays on offense.

Kansas soccer finished its regular season on Friday with a disheartening loss to Oklahoma. 3-0. Despite all of this, Kansas came out with a disappointing level of effort against the Sooners. "We were brutal today." Kansas coach Mark Francis. "That might be the worst game we've played all season. We didn't do any of the things we normally do well. We didn't connect. We didn't finish in the attacking third. Things we've been doing all year, for whatever reason, we didn't do today." In the 12th minute, Oklahoma got on the scoreboard when sophomore Annalisa Hall took a free kick from about 25 yards out. Her shot soared to KU's defenders before reaching the goal. Kansas freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud misplayed the ball and it bounced into the goal, putting the Sooners ahead 1-0. After the game, Stroud was frustrated with the team's effort as well as her own. During the second half, in the 54th minute, the Sooners struck again when junior Dria Hampton crossed a corner kick to sophomore Amy Petrikin, who headed the ball into the net. The Sooners final goal of the day came from Caitlin Mooney in the 61st minute when she dribbled by the Kansas defense and struck a ball that hit the back of the net. "Sometimes you have bad games, and this was a bad game," Stroud said. "I am not going to blame anyone here for not having their focus; we just had a bad day." It was also difficult day for Kansas seniors Kelsey Clifton, Kortney Clifton and Jordyn Perdue, who were honored after the game for their four years of service. Perdue played the most minutes of the seniors with 55. "Obviously, it is pretty emotional, but it was a frustrating way to go out," Perdue said. "It still does not take back from what we have accomplished so far this year because we are still in a good position to come out and win next week at Big 12s." With the loss, Kansas will be the No. 7 seed at next week's Big 12 tournament and will face the second-seeded Texas A&M Aggies. "The positive is to get it out of our system and hopefully we'll regroup and be able to bounce back and play at the caliber we're capable of," Francis said. The game is on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in San Antonio. — Edited by Jayson Jenks i l s s s s s Monday, October 31, 2011 HAWKS NEST HERE! 2020 W.

I will remember that day for one reason: It was cold. In fact, it was the coldest Opening Day in Cubs history. It was 29 degrees with a wind chill of 1 above. Shivers were sent down my spine for all the wrong reasons. And to add insult to injury, the Cubs lost 5-3. The first time I walked into Allen Fieldhouse, I had goose bumps that made my hair stand on end. I had shivers running down my spine, but this time for a good reason. Wrigley Field and Allen Fieldhouse are two of the greatest sports venues in the world. The Phog is a special place. If you have yet to step foot inside, make sure you remember the first time you do. There is so much history inside the hallow walls that its easy to be lost in its glory. Tomorrow night marks the beginning of the season. Even if it's preseason, the stands will be full. Basketball in Lawrence is like football in Texas: it's religion. Forget about the last few seasons. I know the losses to Northern Illinois and Virginia Commonwealth were difficult to live with. It's the same feeling after the losses to Bucknell and Bradley in consecutive seasons, but the Jayhawks healed those wounds in 2008. The wounds of the 2010 and 2011 tournaments will heal eventually, but it will take time. The Jayhawks lost a lot with Marcus and Markieff Morris, Tyreel Reed, Brady Morningstar, Mario Little and Josh Selby leaving because of graduation or the NBA. I would say be patient with this team. It may take a while, but it will come around. Throw the projections out the window — they don't mean anything. Let the play do the talking. The schedule is difficult: Kansas may play four Top 25 teams in its first nine games. The known marque matchups are Ohio State and Kentucky. Luckily for you, the Ohio State game is in Lawrence, which will feature Thomas Robinson defending Buckeye All-American Jared Sullinger. The moments are unforgettable at Allen Fieldhouse, even if it's a blowout.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 11 TEXAS TECH (13-19, 5-11) VS KANSAS The Red Raiders are trying to rehabilitate their basketball program after years of underachievement. Their new coach is looking for a second shot on the national scene after his own highly publicized trip to a rehabilitation center in 2009. In a lot of ways, the marriage between Texas Tech and Billy Gillispie is a perfect fit. Gillispie enters his first season at the helm for Texas Tech only two years removed from his firing at Kentucky and his subsequent conviction for drunk driving. And if there is one thing that Gillispie has a proven track record of, it is turning around programs in the state of Texas. In 2004-05, Gillispie led Texas A&M to a 21-10 record, the best turnaround in the nation and the best in school history. His run with the Aggies included a stunning 69-66 victory against the Jahwhaves on Feb. 3, 2007. Most critics don't expect the Red Raiders' turnaround to be a speedy one. Gillisie lost four starters from KEY PLAYER LOSSES: KEY PLATER LOSS John Roberson David Tairu d'walyn Roberts Brad Reese KEY NEWCOMERS: Jordan Tolbert, Clark Lammert, Kevin Wagner, Pierre Hayden, Toddrick Gotcher, Cameron Forte, Luke Adams, DeShon Minnis last season's Pat Knight-led team. Gillispie is countering that by bringing in 10 new players, nine of the freshman. Texas Tech will likely finish at the bottom of the Big 12 conference, but the honeymoon period should be much longer for Gillispie at Texas Tech than it was at Kentucky. And if any of those nine freshmen pan out, that patience will pay off in the long run for the Red Raiders. -Matt Galloway HOME: 8:30 P.M. SATURDAY, MAR. 3 AWAY: 8 P.M.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8 BAYLOR (18-13, 7-9) VS KU KANSAS Coach Scott Drew may have the most talented team in the Big 12 this season. But after an underwhelming 2010 season in which Baylor did not make the NCAA Tournament, questions linger about whether Drew can turn that talent into victory. averaged more than 10 minutes per game last season. But that player, LaceDianius Dunn, dled the Bears in scoring last season. While Dunn scored in bunches last year, he shot just 39 percent from the field. Helping make up for the loss will be freshman forward Quincy Miller, ranked No. 7 by Rivals. Sophomore forward Perry Jones III is also a former top-ten prospect that averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game last season. KEY PLAYER LOSSES: LaceDarius Dunn Junior guard Pierre Jackson should turn heads as well, as the junior-college transfer led his team to the national title and was named the NICA Player of the Year. KEY NEWCOMERS: Quincy Miller Deuce Bello Pierre Jackson Baylor brings in a team that is as deep and as talented as Drew has ever coached. If he can get his team to play to its potential, look for the Bears to finish near the top of the Big 12 standings. HOME: 3 P.M. SATURDAY, JAN. 14 AWAY: 1 P.M. SATURDAY, JAN. 28 STATE VS KU IOWA STATE (16-16, 3-13) KANSAS Last season, the Cyclones went into Big 12 Conference play with a solid 13-3 record under first-year coach Fred Hoiberg. However, that was the highlight of their season. The Cyclones only managed victories against a struggling Baylor team and lowly Colorado and Nebraska to end the season at 16-16 and last in the Big 12. Things are looking up this year for the Cyclones as they have four Division-1 transfers. Players who sat on the bench in street clothes last year are suddenly available to them, as well as All-American junior college point guard Tyrus McGee, who averaged 20.1 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game at Cowley County Community College last season. These players have a big hole to fill with the graduation of point guard Garrett, who recorded 17.3 KEY PLAYER LOSSES: KEY PLAYER LEGENDS Jake Anderson Jamie Vanderbeken Diante Garrett KEY NEWCOMERS: Korie Lucious Will Clyburn points per game, 3.7 rebounds per game and 6.1 assists per game and 1.7 steals per game. He also led the Big 12 in shots (518) and assists (195). -Mike Vernon The Cyclones have plenty of talent and depth on their roster; the only thing stopping them from potentially being a top team In the conference is their lack of time playing together. They have players from junior college, high school, and other D-1 schools who will be getting considerable minutes. They have a relatively easy non-conference schedule, with their only big game at No. 18 Michigan on December 3. The Longhorns 2010-11 season could be considered a let down. After upsetting then No. 2 Kansas in Lawrence last January and taking down the only other contenders in Baylor and Missouri, the red carpet seemed to be laid for Texas to dethrone Kansas from atop Park 86. taking over only other Containers in Baylor and Missouri, the red cap sees Big 12 royalty. That was until three losses in four games — Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas State — altered Texas' quest for its first conference title since it shared the accolade with Kansas in 2007-08. The loss of Jordan Hamilton, Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph to the NBA, could have derailed Rick Barnes & Co. had they not been able to pull in the nation's eighth best recruiting class this year, as determined by Rivals.com. Point Guard Myck Kabongo rides into Austin, Texas ranked as the fifth best prospect in the nation at his position. Standing only 6-foot-2, the Canada native set his prep team's (Findlay Prep) single season assists record with 187; an attribute that can be expected to flourish in the next level of his career. With six freshman on the roster, the young team will have to prove itself before cracking the Top 25, however early season matchups at both North Carolina and UCLA should provide a decent litmus test as to the legitimacy of Barnes' newest Longhorns. -Geoffrey Bergstrom KEY PLAYER LOSSES: KEY PLAYER LUGS Tristan Thompson Cory Joseph Jordan Hamilton KEY NEWCOMERS: KEY NEWCOMERS: Myck Kabongo Sheldon McClellan Julien Lewis Jonathan Holmes SEE PREVIEW ON PAGE 6 Blake Schuster 14 J'Covan Brown You are a Star.

Let's start with senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior forward Thomas Robinson — the obvious leaders. In other words, Self doesn't want you to feel too bad about his younger, but not too young, group Taylor, the agile facilitator who has been more "D'oh!" than "It makes coach's job a little easier knowing that his point guard is an extension of him." Taylor said. Robinson, the kid who lost his mother in January and had to become a man, wants to be completely unguardable. He practiced against Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins for the last two years, learning from his predecess- sors how to better his game. He outplayed Jared Sullinger of Ohio State and Anthony Davis of Kentucky and received praise from LeBron James this summer. It's easy to forget that Robinson, a preseason All-American, came off the bench last year. Now he's expected to play at least 30 productive minutes and limit his fouls every game. "It makes coach's job a little easier knowing that his point guard is an extension of him." TYSHAWN TAYLOR senior guard "He's been the icing, the dessert," Self said. "Now he's got be the main course." GET CASH ON THE SPOT WHEN YOU SELL TO PLATO'S CLOSET ITS A SLAM DUNK!

Juniors Jeff Withey, Travis Leeford and Elijah Johnson will likely start alongside Taylor and Robinson.

They will be eligible to practice on Dec. 16. "Those guys" are all Jayhawks not named Taylor and Robinson. They are unproven, but they've also never been given a chance. "Recruit six and only get three," Self said. "Our depth situation is not great, but it's fine as long as those guys develop." Withey was a highly regarded recruit, transferred from Arizona and was supposed to be the next Aldrich. Then Aldrich went to the NBA and Withey was still nothing more than that tall guy off the bench who riled up the student section with the occasional blocked shot. He was lovable, not dependable. A fan favorite, not a poster on your kid's wall. One could argue that Withey was nothing but a victim of last 1 / RSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2011 PAGE 5 Tyshawn Taylor season's frontcourt depth chart with the Morris twins and Robinson ahead of him. Others say that Withey never earned playing time because he was soft, a word that follows so many talented, but stoc centers. Taylor said that shouldn't be a problem this season because Withey truly wants to be the best. "That attitude helps him get that much tougher," Taylor said. "He's not going to let that loose ball go or let his guy push him off the block." Releford is from the same recruiting class as Taylor and the Morris twins, but he mostly sat on the bench while Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar were on the court at his position and adored by all. Now it's Releford's time, inconsistent jump shot or not, and Self thinks his small forward is ready to be an elite defender. "We plan on hanging our hat on defending and being one of the best defending teams in the country." Releford said. "You're sacrificing things offensively to be a great defender," Self said. Self recognizes that this isn't his most talented offensive team. He can't rely on Sherron Collins, Xavier Henry or Josh Selby to pull a circus shot from nowhere with the final seconds of the shot clock ticking away. But he's got Releford. If all goes to plan, he's the defensive stopper. He lifts up his team by shutting down the opposition's best player. He creates offense with pressure packed defense, despite the cost. Johnson, yet another top recruit before he was somewhat forgited on Self's bench, is of another breed. His two front teeth sneak through his smiles and his Popsicle-stick jokes usually poke at Taylor, Tharpe and Robinson. Lost in the shuffle of keeping team chemistry cool, his game can be overlooked. "We plan on hanging our hat on defending and being one of the best defending teams in the country." TRAVIS RELEFORD junior guard Johnson ably stepped into the starting lineup last season when Taylor was suspended. He doesn't wow anyone until there's a fast break, but he worked on his jump shot all summer and his defense is steady with room to improve. "I feel like I own a piece of the Fieldhouse, in respectful way." Johnson said. "That fan base just really cares about us." Tharpe is a true point guard who passes with caution and roots for the Lakers, despite his Massachusetts roots. Teahan is a shooter, failed quarterback and bench regular turned rotation player. Young fights relentlessly for rebounds and will do the same for playing time. "Wesley is a rail," Self said. These unknown pieces, under tow of Taylor and Robinson, will shed the mystery. Their chance is now and there's no hiding behind lottery picks. All have something to prove. It's time to grow up, young men. "We've got guys that are just hungry," Taylor said. "Flat out hungry."

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22 OKLAHOMA STATE VS OKLAHOMA STATE (24-9, 12-6) KU KANSAS Oklahoma State was just one possession away from defeating the top-seed Kansas and advancing to the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament last March. In the end, the problem for the Cowboys was a lack of post players when Matt Pilgrim, Marshall Moses and Jared Shaw all fouled out in the second half. This year, the Cowboys will again be without those three post players, except now they must endure an entire season without them. What Oklahoma State is lacking in the post it make up for on the wings. The only returning starter is 5-foot-9 senior Keaton Page, who will approach the mark of 200 3-point field goals made in his career at Oklahoma State. Sophomore Mark Brown also returns after recording the most blocks in a season by a Cowboy guard in school's history. KEY PLAYER LOSSES: Le' Bryan Nash KEY NEWCOMERS: Marshall Moses Matt Pilgrim A new addition to the Cowboys is the Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year Le'Bryan Nash. The 6-foot-7 McDonald's All American is the only big 12 player on the Wayman Tisdale Award watch list as a National Freshman of the Year candidate. Like 6-foot-6 junior Jean-Paul Olukemi, Nash can play as a guard or fowrward that is athletic and versatile. Oklahoma State will need that versatility from its wing players with such a depleted group of post players. Coach Travis Ford will likely try a rotation of five guards at some point this season. HOME: 3 P.M. SATURDAY, FEB. 25 AWAY: 8 P.M. SATURDAY, FEB. 4 VS MISSOURI (23-10, 8-8) KANSAS Missouri breaks in a new coach Frank Haith this year replacing Mike Anderson, who left to coach Arkansas. Haith previously coached Miami (FL) where he posted a 129-101 record in seven years with the Hurricanes. The Tigers were scheduled to return all five starters, but senior forward Laurence Bowers tore his ACL during a pick-up game on Oct. 3 that will force him to miss the entire season. Bowers started 27 games averaging 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds last season. This leaves junior forward Ricardo Rattcliffe as the only experienced big man to stabilize Missouri's front court. With Bowers injured, senior guard Kim English will step into the power forward position. KEY PLAYER LOSSES: Laurence Bowers — Max Goodwin The Tigers must rely heavily on their experienced guards to lead them back to the NCAA Tournament. KEY NEWCOMERS: None Senior guards Marcus Denmon and Matt Pressey bring the most experience to the table. Both will see extended minutes in their final season in a Tiger uniform.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 22 ATM VS KU TEXAS A&M (24-9, 12-6) KANSAS Texas A&M was picked to share the Big 12 title with Kansas this year in the Big 12 coaches preseason poll. The Aggies are adjusting to new head coach Billy Kennedy, replacing Mark Turgeon, who departed for Maryland in May. Kennedy is coming from Murray State, where he led them to the Second Round of the NCAA tournament in 2010. Kennedy is currently taking a medical leave of absence and is resting at home. In the meantime, assistant coach Glynn Cyprien has taking the reigns, but Kennedy is expected to return but Kennedy is expected to return at some point this season. The Aggies return three starters from last season's team, including Junior forward Khris Middleton, a unanimous preseason first team All-Big 12 selection. Middleton led the Aggies with 14.4 points per game and was second on the team with 5.2 rebounds per game. KEY PLAYER LOSSES: BJ Holmes Nathan Walkup Middleton is joined up front by KEY NEWCOMERS: Jamal Branch 6-foot-8 senior forward David Loubeau, who was the second leading scorer for the Aggies last season averaging 11.8 points and 5 rebounds per game. The Aggies will make their much publicized move to the Southeastern Conference next season and their in-state rivals have expressed a lack of desire to put them on their non-conference schedule for the foreseeable future, so this could be a bit of a farewell tour for the Aggies through Big 12 country.

The team returns four of its five starters from last year, only losing guard Dane Davis. The Sooners have high expectations for their team this year after adding four college transfer players and one walk-on freshman to their roster. Kruger brought two assistant head coaches from UNLV to Oklahoma, also director of basketball operations, Mike Shepherd. Chris Crutchfield will also serve as an assistant head coach after being at Oral Roberts for four seasons.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4 AWAY: 8 P.M. FRIDAY, FEB. 3 VS KANSAS STATE (16-16, 3-13) KANSAS Coach Frank Martin has a similar mindset as Bill Self: lose a player, have somebody else step up and take his place. That's going to be difficult for Martin to find this year as he lost Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly to graduation. Pullen averaged 20.2 points and 3.7 assists per game, while Kelly averaged 10.5 points and 5.5 rebound per game. Pullen put his team on his back in a Valentine's Day victory against Kansas that saw valentines day victory against Kansas that saw fans rush the court — he scored 38 points in the 84-68 victory. Martin will need junior guard Rodney McGruder and senior forward Jamar Samuel to step in as the key players. McGruder was second on the team scoring 11.1 points per game, but he will also need to be the vocal leader. Martin doesn't take the preseason polls with much value,but the Wildcats were picked to finish sixth by the coaches. It seems to be reason- KEY PLAYER LOSSES: Jacob Pullen Curtis Kelly KEY NEWCOMERS: KELLY COUMER Adrian Diaz Thomas Gipson Jeremy Jones Omari Lawrence Angel Rodriguez able for a team that has a lot of questions going into the season. Martin continued recruiting in South Florida by picking up freshmen center Adrian Diaz and guard Angel Rodriguez, both from the Miami area. However, this year's class was pretty weak overall.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 18 AWAY: 8 P.M. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 11 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY VS KU OKLAHOMA STATE (17-15, 4-12) KANSAS OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY KU KEY PLAYER LOSSES: Lakyn Garrison Precious Robinson KEY NEWCOMERS: Britney Hardy Liz Donohoone LaShawn Jones Taylor Schippers Jordan Schultz The Cowgirls are incredibly young, with 10 of their 13 players being freshmen or sophomores with no seniors. The Cowgirls welcome another class of five freshman, including Britney Hardy, ranked No. 63 by ESPN. Junior forward Toni Young remains the focal point of the team this year after leading the league in rebounding last season. Her efforts during her sophomore campaign landed her on this season's All-Preseason Big 12 team. The Cowgirls need her to continue cleaning the glass and be a big contributor on offense to be competitive. Sophomore point guard Tiffany Bias holds the keys to the offense. Bias makes the offense more dynamic and makes Young a better player offensively. Oklahoma State will most likely struggle in league play and will need Young and Bias to carry the team in order to finish in the middle of the pack. Two of its four conference victories last season came against Colorado and Nebraska, two teams that will not be on its schedule this season. The Cowgirls will need to shed their "young label" before they have the chance to vault into the league's top five. They should be able to gain confidence in the preseason as only Rice (18-14) and Missouri State (24-11) posted winning seasons and eight of their ten-preseason games will be played in Stillwater. With the new round-robin Big 12 format, it will be hard for the Cowgirls to improve on last season's 17-15 record. - Max Lush HOME: 7 P.M. SATURDAY, JAN. 21 AWAY: 7 P.M. SATURDAY, FEB. 4 ATM VS TEXAS A&M (33-5, 13-3) KANSAS Texas A&M couldn't top Baylor for the Big 12 title, but the team defeated Baylor 58-46 when it counted most in the NCAA tournament. After the victory, the Ag- gained continued to roll to the national championship game and won against Notre Dame for the program's first national title. The defending champs enter the season ranked No. 7 in the Sporting News preseason top 25 poll. The Aggies lost their leading scorer in Danielle Adams, who averaged 20 points a game. The Aggies are picked second in the Big 12 preseason poll, but for the team to excel, senior guards Tyra White and Sydney Carter need to increase their production. Both seniors averaged 10 points or more last year. Senior forward Adaara Elonu averaged 6 rebounds a game and will join sophomore center Karla Gilbert in the front court. The Aggies will need to balance their experience with their talented recruiting class.

SUNDAY, JAN. 15 MISSOURI (13-18, 5-11) VS KU KANSAS ™ Second-year coach Robin Pington is looking to resurrect a program that hasn't finished higher than 10th in the Big 12 since 2005-06. That looks to be a sizeable task, as Missouri lost guard RaeShara Brown to graduation last year. Brown had a fantastic season, finishing first in the Big 12 in steals, in assists and seventh in scoring with 16.8 points per game. Pingleton will rely heavily on senior forward Christine Flores, who averaged 13 points, six rebounds and led the team in free throw percentage in 2010-11. She's fifth on Missouri's all-time block list and is on pace to break the record this season. Senior forward Proeana KEY PLAYER LOSSES: RaeShara Brown Shakara Jones KEY NEWCOMERS: Kyley Simmons Bree Fowler this season. Senior forward BreAnna Brock and junior guard Sydney Crafton will have to improve immensely if the Tigers are to climb out of the bottom third of the Big 12.

SUNDAY, FEB. 12 VS KANSAS STATE (21-11, 10-G) KANSAS Entering her 16th year at Kansas State, coach Deb Patterson returns four starters from a team that finished 22-11 last season and earned a spot in the NCAA tournament. The returning starters include the top two scorsers on last years team, led by junior guard Brittany Chambers, who averaged 16.1 points last season. That performance earned Chambers an All-Big 12 honorable selection. She was joined by teammate senior guard Jalana Childs. It marks the first time since the 2005 season that two Wildcat teammates earned preseason Big 12 honors. Childs averaged 12.8 points in 27.3 minutes per game last year.

The Bears received all nine possible first place votes in anticipation of a repeat conference title. The Bears will be led by their star junior post player, Brittney Griner. She's a first team All American and was the National Defensive Player of the Year and a finalist for the Wooden Award last season. She averaged 23 points and 7.8 rebounds per game last season and totaled 170 blocks. Along with the 6-foot-8 Griner, the Bears return three of their top four scorers from last season.

Averaging 8.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game last season, Williams will provide another much needed post presence to provide relief for Griner. The Bears are picked to finish at the top of the Big 12 standings and if things go well for the Bears, they could finish the year as the last team standing in college basketball.

SUNDAY, MARCH 4 OKLAHOMA (19-14, 7-9) VS KANSAS The Sooners were picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 this season, but could give teams trouble down the line. The Sooners will need sophomore guard Aaryn Ellenberg to be even better than her impressive freshman campaign. Oklahoma's youth is the glaring cause for concern, but this is a team that could start out slow and improve as the season progresses. There will be some pressure on head coach Sherri Coale to mold an experienced but talented Sooner squad into a serious competitor in the Big 12.

The Longhorns are returning four starters from last season, including Big-Big 12 Freshman Team selection Chassidy Fussell, who led the team in scoring with 16.2 ppg, and senior Ashleigh Fontenette, who finished the season fourth on the team in scoring with 11.7 points per game and led the team with 128 assists. Also returning is sophomore Cokie Reed, who was rated as the fifth best high school prospect in 2009. Replacing last year's seniors will be no easy task, but freshman Cassie Peoples looks to make an impression in her first year in a Longhorn uniform. Peoples was named the presseason Bie 12 Creef of the Year and was selected to play in the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game. In the preseason coach's poli, the Longhorns were picked to finish third in the Big 12 behind Texas A&M and Baylor. They will tip off the regular season on November 11 against Stanford.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15 STATE VS KU IOWA STATE (22-10, 9-7) KANSAS Last year Kelsey Botte led the Cyclones with 36 minutes played and 16.9 points per game. Botte's graduation leaves the Cyclones looking for a new leader, which will likely fall on senior guard Lauren Mansfield's shoulders. Mansfield averaged nine points and five assists last season in 31 minutes per game and will be joined in the backcourt by sophomore forward Hallie Christofferson, who shot 52 percent from the field last season. Post play is the biggest question mark entering the year for the Cyclones, a team that will rely on junior forward Chelsea Poppens and junior center Anna Prins. Prins is a solid defensive option for the Cyclones, but she'll face one of the toughest post conferences in the country. The Cyclones should finish with another top five conference performance and NCAA tournament appearance in 2012. — Trevor Graff KEY NEWCOMERS: Nichole Moody KEY PLAYER LOSSES: Kelsey Bolte WO spo tog Bas VISIT KANSAN.COM STAY UPDATED ON KANSAS BASKETBALL AND ALL SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2011 PAGE 9 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Familiar faces lead Henrickson's young team CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN KANSAS 21. Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis snags an easy lay up in the first half of Saturday night's game against Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse. Davis contributed 11 points and a team high of 13 rebounds in the Jayhawks 57-61 loss to Tech. The Jayhawks are now 13-2 for the season. KATHLEEN GIER A trio that has moved into the spotlight for Kansas sat at a table together at the Big 12 Women's Basketball Media Day. kgier@kansan.com Coach Bonnie Henrickson looks to juniors Carolyn Davis, Monica Engelman and Angel Goodrich for leadership and experience for the young team that features five freshmen. At media day she was asked by moderators to characterize herself in three ways: loyal, sarcastic and laid back. She said that being loyal is something important, which she can offer to the team. "Being loyal is a big thing, especially for freshmen coming in to know that their leader is someone who is going to be there for them," Davis said. Of the three, Goodrich has spent the most time in the program. Her career was put on hold soon after she stepped onto campus after suffering an ACL injury her freshman year. She came back, but was injured again her sophomore year as well. "They are a lead-by-example group and have grown to be more comfortable because you have to be able to lead by example, but you have to take it to another level." Henrickson said. "I think those three growing and maturing in that role as captains and as leaders have been able to do that and still maintain the friendships." These three serve as captains for the second straight year for the program and lead the team in most statistics. Schedule Davis lead the team scoring 19 points per game and ranked second in the nation in field goal percentage at 66 percent. In addition to landing a spot on the Preseason All-Big 12 Women's Basketball Team, she received national attention for award nominations. She is featured on the State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List and the John R. Wooden Award List. Now, in her fourth year with Kansas, Goodrich has taken steps to become more vocal and guide her team to success. Goodrich said she wants to be an example for the younger players on how to fit into the program and how to succeed through hardships. ery practice and works her hardest. She has been pushing her teammates in practice and demanding a greater level of effort than ever before.
