'Hectic' film fest gives out awards
Actors Wells Unruh, a graduate student from Lawrence, and Sam Jones, a junior from Rogersville, Mo., wait for their cue during the making of the short film The Contract. The film was made for the Wild West Film Fest: Scare Factor, in which filmmakers had 48 hours to produce a scary movie.

The scariest part of the horror movies in the Wild West Film Fest: Scare Factor competition was the deadline. In 48 hours, filmmakers wrote, filmed and edited five-minute movies for the competition, which gave participants specific parameters to ensure films are not made ahead of time. Entries were screened and awarded Sunday night at Liberty Hall.
"Being college-aged, it's a really rare thing to see a film through beginning to end," Singleton
This year, the filmmakers had to begin and end their films with the same shot or angle, incorporate a Wild West Film Fest DVD

case or poster, and pick two things from a list of objects that included plungers, ceiling fans and a broken light. It's just one of the ways the competition challenges contestants.
Laurie Winkel, a junior from Topeka, has acted in six of the festival's short films over the years, including a musical in Sunday's competition. But she also assumed a more daunting role as emcee of Sunday's viewing. Last summer she acted in three films in a single weekend, although Winkel said acting in one of the films is far easier than being on the other side of the camera.
"It's a lot of fun, but it's really challenging," said Lucas Singleton, a senior from Hutchison who has participated in the film fest since he was a freshman. "I think it took us the four years to really get it down right, because before it always had too much in it, and it didn't really make sense. It's a really good lesson in keeping things simple."
"It's just so important to the Lawrence film community that it keeps happening."
Alex Backus, a University alumnus, has organized the film fest the past several years but has also participated as a filmmaker. He said that being a contestant made him more sympathetic as a judge and more aware of the festival's significance.
"The film fest, by its nature, is really hectic," Winkel said. "Forty-eight hours is an extremely short amount of time, even for a five-minute movie. Everybody is just grabbing for actors."
"It's just so important to the Lawrence film community that it keeps happening," Backus said. "There will be teams of people who don't really get a chance to make films in their regular career, but its easy for them to take a weekend and make a film."
Winkel is also president of KU Filmworks, a student organization for aspiring filmmakers. The organization, along with local charities,
received a portion of the profits from the showing.

TELEVISION DINNERS

The University's dining halls are no longer places to only eat meals, but spots for studying, socializing and, now, to view the daily news and weather. As promised in the newly configured dining plans, televisions have been added to the different dining locations across campus.
The final decision was made about a year ago when the new plans were approved by the Student Housing Advisory Board and the Board of Regents, KU Dining Services director Nona Golledge said.
"When we met with student groups they were excited about having Wi-Fi and TVs present in the residential dining locations," Golledge said.
The new televisions are now installed at Oliver Dining and Mrs. E's and a majority of the dining retail cafés, such as The Market and The Studio. Even North College Café in GSP will have televisions once it reopens in August 2012.
Although these televisions entertain and inform students while eating, Franklin Battle, a freshman from Fort Worth, Texas, feels that the televisions will have a negative effect.
"During family dinners at my house, we weren't allowed to watch TV. I think it takes away, from communication and bonding," he
said. "I don't like the idea of them in the dining halls."
About $8,000 went into the purchase of these televisions, which, depending on the location, are either 42 or 55 inches. These televisions will be programmed for certain channels only, which will primarily consist of news and weather.
Lexi Coffey, a freshman from Newton, thinks that the televisi-
sions are a great addition to Mrs. Es.
"I understand where people are coming from when they say they're worried about the TVs affecting student interaction, but I think students will still talk and be social, with or without the TVs," she said. "I like the idea of them because it makes Mrs. E's a little more home for me."
The televisions were installed to
help students stay up-to-date on world and local news, as well as the weather, to help generate discussion for social settings, according to Golledge.
"The dining locations are a place to build community," Golledge said. "The addition of televisions helps create an engaging environment."

Patrolling for fake IDs continues
LUKE RANKER

Fake ID patrols throughout Lawrence, even at football games, will continue through the semester.
Lawrence Police officers were assigned to a task force along with officers from Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) that cited 14 people as minors in possession during the football game on Oct. 22, Sgt. Matt Sarna said.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) provides the grant funding for the program. Jordan said grants are given on a semesterly basis and this was the third semester a local task force received funding.
Jen Jordan, director of prevention for Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism (DCCCA), said the program has four more patrols planned for the semester. She said the task force has been part of an ongoing campaign to reduce underage drinking comprised of four agencies: Lawrence Police Department (LPD), Douglas County Sheriff, KU Police and the Kansas Department of Revenue's Alcohol Beverage Control agency.
Jordan said that, on average, 14 people receive citations during one of these patrols. She said the weekend of Oct. 22 was the third week and the task force patrolled this
"I don't know if we'll get it again," lord said.
ABC director Doug Jorgensen said funding for the task force was running out.
"Unless we find additional funding, the program will probably be folding up in the near future," Jorgensen said.
She said KDOT funded a similar program at Wichita State this year.
semester. Normally each agency provides two officers, but the actual size of the patrol depends on what the agencies can budget. Only ABC and LPD were able to participate in the last game-dav patrol.
Jorgensen said underage drinking patrols take various forms depending on the weekend.
"There's no set criteria for how the task force patrols," he said.
During home games, police concentrate on the area around Memorial Stadium and the surrounding neighborhoods. On other weekends, the task force will focus on local bars, liquor stores and house parties.
Jordan said officers increase patrols during times when an excessive amount of drinking is expected.
"There's a high incidence of other problems with increased drinking," Jordan said, adding that officers wish to combat those problems by first lowering the amount of underage drinking.
Jordan said a program that offers a reward up to $2,000 for reporting underage drinking is in place in Shawne County. She said the program has been successful, and while such programs don't exist in Douglas County, they're a possibility.
"We're trying to educate people so we don't get to that point," Jordan said.
"You will be convicted if it's your second MIP," Jordan said. "We don't want to see people making that mistake."
She added that, to avoid escalating the situation, people should be honest if an officer approaches.
"If people are polite, it could be a simple ticket," she said. She warned that it was impossible to get a diversion on a second MIP.

A German company has canceled a major advertising contract with an Italian-American model after she described her passionate relationship with Moammar Gadhafi's son Muatassim and praised his family.
Telecommunications firm Telefonica Germany and its subsidiary Alice will stop working with 23-year-old model Vanessa Hessler and remove her face from its website within hours, spokesman Albert Fetsch said Monday.

Bodies recovered from wreckage at grain elevator
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATCHISON — The final three bodies were recovered Monday from the burnt wreckage of a Kansas grain elevator where a weekend explosion killed six people and injured two others, a company official said.
The first three bodies were found during the weekend but unstable concrete, hanging steel beams and other damage had forced crews to temporarily suspend the search for the remaining victims at the Bartlett Grain Co. facility in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City.
The final three victims' bodies were recovered Monday morning, said Bob Knief, a Bartlett senior vice president.
Knief declined to discuss the identities of the three victims found Monday, but relatives identified two of them as Curts Field, 21, and grain inspector Travis Keil. They have said the third person also was a grain inspector.
Keil was a war veteran who had served as a site inspector for 16 years. His parents, Gary and Ramona Keil, drove from Salina to Atchison to wait with his three children — ages 8, 12 and 15 — as crews searched.
The grain inspectors worked for Kansas Grain Inspection Service, Inc., a private firm based in Topeka, said Tom Tunnell, executive director of the Kansas Grain and Feed Association.
"It's a parent's worst nightmare to go through this." Garv Kell said.
"I don't know what else to do," Patty Field said. Then, starting to cry, she added, "I just want him home — I mean, out of there. I want him home, but I know he's not coming home."
Field's parents, Lynn and Patty Field of Atchison, had come to the grain elevator early Monday to wait for word about their son.
One of the injured was in critical condition and the other was listed as serious on Monday, said Bob Hallilnan, spokesman for The University of Kansas Hospital.
The explosion was a harrowing reminder of the dangers grain elevator workers face. When grain is handled at elevators, it creates dust that floats around inside the storage facility. The finer the grain dust particles, the greater its volatility. Typically, something — perhaps sparks from equipment or a cigarette — ignites the dust. That sends a pressure wave that detonates the rest of the floating dust in the facility.
Farmers take their grain to grain elevators after harvest to store it before it is marketed or sold. The Bartlett grain bin is a large, concrete structure used for elevating, storing, discharging, and sometimes processing grain.

Teenage girl caught in noose at haunted house
Authorities say it was believed to be an accident.

The girl was working at Creepy-world, a haunted house near Fenton, when the accident happened Thursday. Her job was to scare guests. The noose was being used as a prop. A co-worker found the girl while making safety checks. She was unconscious at the time.

SICK BOY
One is "Margin Call," which opened at theaters during the last couple of weeks. It's a drama about the 2008 financial crisis, starring Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto and others. In this telling, an unnamed firm (Lehman? Goldman?) foolishly places too many bad bets, then saves itself by dumping its paper and dooming the economy. The credits roll before anyone starts mulling a bailout — but we've already seen that ending.
What's happening is a ground-swell of anger aimed at America's rich and powerful. It's a bipartisan anger, too, radiating from liberals, conservatives, tea partyers, occupiers. That means a potentially big audience for any movie willing to address the issues.
NEW YORK — It's always exciting when Hollywood finds a way to tap into a zeitgeist. Watching a movie that reflects our collective mood can feel like a validation: Like the song says, there's something happening here.

Kim Kardasharian files for divorce after 72 days
LOS ANGELES — There was hardly time for the reruns of the wedding on the E channel before reality TV star Kim Kardashian, citing irreconcilable differences, filed for divorce Monday from non-roast basketball player Kris Humphries.
Kardashian, 31, filed papers in a downtown Los Angeles court just 72 days after her much-much marriage.
The couple's Aug. 20 mega-wedding in Montecito, Calif., was featured in the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
In the divorce papers, Kardashian's attorney noted that the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement. It was Kardashian's second marriage.
Among the couple's separate property is "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects, earnings and accumulation," according to the divorce filing.

Wait FFA, you mean to tell me that girls dress like sluts and everyone gets plastered on Halloween, what a development. Please give me another day of these hilarious quips. Editor's note: Please read below.
Why oh why do I have a crush on a freshman? It's against everything I stand for.
I was a sexy cat for Halloween, and I'm damn proud of it. It feels good to not be in the anti-alchemy-sexy-costume cliche ever.
Do all frat guys go through a "how to pick up girls" class? Because they seriously all use the same lines.
That time when two French girls and one of the seven deadly sins gets back into their apartment by diving through the window after drunkenly losing the only key to the apartment. #lovehallowen
Sluts on Halloween — isn't that the reason everyone goes out?
Best NBA season yet!
Not considering a fraternity is why I still have my individuality, and a soul.
I saw a squirrel burying a nut in an ash tray. Now it's going to get cancer.
I want to brag so bad to my roommate about making the FFA yesterday, but then she would know i was eating her food. #collegeproblems
GDIs go to frat parties because we won't feel bad when we drink all your alcohol. Or trash your house. Or bang your sluts.
To the sexy red-headed SWAT officer, marry me!
I love watching people Facebook stalk themselves during big lectures. It makes me feel less pathetic.
I was given a king-sized Starburst Saturday night for having a cute costume, instead of being slutty. That's one check for good girls everywhere.
I'm a little confused when I leave my room in the morning and notice my roommate's "sex code" on the door.
What did I sleep through?
He said he didn't have a condom,
so I told him that it was okay, I was
ready for kids. All of a sudden he had
a condom.
What's the rule on inviting a hot teacher to a Halloween party?
I'm on team "let's not use the term 'fratter' ever again."

Despite defeat, saving energy is main goal
The Take Charge challenge spawned EcoKat, a vilified Kansas State University mascot and a desperate last-minute energy saving campaign by Lawrence. But the long-term effects of the state-wide competition will be rewarding.
Although Lawrence lost the Take Charge to Manhattan and Kansas State University, the competition showed that both communities have the ability to save massive amounts of energy
EDITORIAL
The two university towns were competing to save the most energy for a $100,000 grant from the Kansas Corporation Commission for the last nine months. Out of the three scoring categories, Manhattan beat Lawrence in Category 2, which includes light bulb switches to compact fluorescent oulbs, programmable thermostats and commercial building retrofits. Lawrence actually saved more energy, but on a per capita basis, Manhattan edged out Lawrence. Manhattan also won in Category 3 — public participation — with 54 percent of the community participating in approved outreach events, while 31 percent of Lawrence residents participated. Lawrence won Category 1 by more than tripling Manhattan's production in whole house retrofits per capita.
According to the final measurement update from the University Region of the competition, the total gas and electricity savings from both communities equate to 785,542 gallons of gasoline, 179,668 trees planted, or 1,374 trees on the road.
Overall, the towns participating in Take Charge saved 22 million kilowatt hours of electricity and saved gas and electricity at a rate of $2.3 million per year.
Despite not getting the grant award, Lawrence and the University of Kansas community should look at the competition as a victory. The overall energy savings offset the costs, and Lawrence created a foundation on which to build future energy policies on.
effort to reduce energy costs and consumption.
With 16 communities saving this much energy in nine months of energy awareness, the rest of the nation should notice with how successful this competition has been. Participating Kansans should be proud of being a part of a successful

Nickname sanctioned
RACISM
Racism is always a touchy subject these days. As organizations try to become more politically correct, some go to the extreme attempting clean up questionable language. In 2005, the NCAA decided that University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname by imposing sanctions on the university, which falls under the NCAA mandate to punish schools that brand themselves with offensive names. The university has been fighting the sanctions but may finally lose the battle. This could be a huge blow to a university that has a storied hockey program that is rich with tradition.
By Dylan Lysen
Try to imagine the University of Kansas being forced to remove its Jayhawks nickname and logo (much to the delight to the people of Osceola, Missouri), a nickname that is deeply rooted in the history of the state of Kansas. Honestly, this will probably never happen, but if it did, you can go ahead and bet on some serious controversy and protesting on campus. Students who were raised Kansans, like myself, would not take it lightly.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
However, there is a difference between "Jayhawks" and "Fighting Sioux". While the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe has given the University of North Dakota permission to use the name and logo, the NCAA believes the word "fighting" implies hostility and can be taken in a racist context.
In a more recent scenario, years of NCAA sanctions forced the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to remove its logo of Chief Illiniwek in 2007, because it was believed to be a racial stereotype of Native Americans. The school was allowed to keep its Fighting Illini name because the name of the state and the nickname implies the people of Illinois and not the Native American descent.
In the end, I have no problem with NCAA sanctioning schools for using hostile nicknames, but if UND was simply named the Sioux, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If UND was to take "Fighting" out of their nickname and removed their stereotypical
logo, there is no reason NCAA should ban it. The UND Sioux nickname is a tribute to the community the inhabited the state before it was established in the United States.
Because the NCAA only has control over schools that participate in its program, some other nicknames are left alone. In Wichita, North High School still uses the Redskins nickname, even though it is considered among the most racist terms for Native Americans. Although some groups, like the NCAA, have tried to fight to end these nicknames, they haven't been completely successful. But the NCAA seems to be the only group that is able to make a difference.
It's a shame the University of North Dakota is going to lose its history and tradition, while other schools and organizations are sporting a much more offensive name. I hope these other organizations understand that the NCAA is setting the tone for what is politically correct and reconsider allowing team names like "redskins" to be banned.

FASHION
Find personal style and keep it classy
Personally, I've been guilty of the first two of the above when I was in high school and didn't really care how I presented myself to people. About a year ago, though, I figured out that dressing nicely and appropriately doesn't mean you have to have expensive clothes or look like a super model; it's a way to present yourself to people in a mature manner.
Generally, our first impressions of people are pretty shallow. Before speaking to them we see their face, hair and clothing. Before we even open our mouths, we've already presented the outward part of ourselves to someone. At least in my experience, the way people present themselves on the outside is some measure of their personality.

I've always admired the style and class of Audrey Hepburn. She dresses very minimalist, but
The cold weather has finally reached the plains, which ultimately means one thing for most people — sweatpants and bad hair days.
During the months of October through March, the fashionableness (I think that's a word) of our campus exponentially decreases. Unorthodox clothing combinations come out of people's closets: Sperry's and sweatpants, hoodies and sterling silver jewelry, and, of course, the workout shorts with the ankle socks that used to be popular in the 80s but seem to be making a comeback.
Here are a few tips: makeup that makes you look like a raccoon isn't appropriate to wear to class, and brushing your hair can do wonders. Also, not everyone wants to see your cleavage at eight in the morning. Eating well, sleeping well, exercising and taking vitamins makes your body look and feel better. Did I mention sleeping well?
But most importantly, you don't want your style or lack thereof to hide your personality. You want to have style and class that bring out the best of yourself so people want to get to know you.
I don't want campus to turn into New York fashion week, but having a little class when it comes to fit out choices, hair and makeup would be nice to see.

The point of all this in college is that it is important to present yourself in class to your peers and professors in a way that reflects well upon yourself. As young adults, we should start getting ready for more professional atmospheres. I like to think of college as a practice round of the real world a.k.a the job market.
We can all take lessons from women like Audrey Hepburn. It's not what you wear; it's how you wear something and how you expect people to look at you.

A state-by-state look at effects of NE snowstorm
Winter whiteout shocks and damages the Northeast
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VERMONT: About 7,500 lost power at some point. Areas devastated in August by remnants of Hurricane Irene reported 13 inches.
An early-season snowstorm shocked the Northeast over the weekend with up to 30 inches of snow in some areas. The wet, heavy snow accumulated on still-leafy trees and snapped off branches or toppled them altogether, taking down power lines. Fewer than 2 million people were still without power Monday, and at least 21 deaths, including one in Canada, are blamed on the storm through traffic accidents, electrocutions and other causes.
NEW YORK: About 215,000 without power, down from more than 300,000. Dozens of motorists stranded up to 10 hours on snow-covered highways north of New York City. Crews race to clean fallen trees from Central Park before New York City Marathon the coming weekend. At least three deaths.
PENNSYLVANIA: More than 200,000 without power, down from about a half-million. At least eight deaths.
MARYLAND: About 3,500 without power, down from about 43,000.
NEW HAMPSHIRE: About 190,000 without power, down from more than 315,000. Shelters open for people without heat.
NEW JERSEY: About 400,000 are still without power, down from nearly 700,000. Gov. Chris Christie says damage to utilities is worse than that wrought by Irene. Some rail lines still blocked by fallen branches. More than 30 school districts call off classes. At
WASHINGTON. D.C.: Trace of snow ties 1925 record for the date.
MAINE: About 7,500 without power, down from about 160,000.
MASSACHUSETTS: About 450,000 without power. Delays on commuter rail into Boston. Dozens of school districts cancel classes; many communities call off Halloween trick-or-treating because of downed power lines. At least three deaths.
RHODE ISLAND: More than 1,700 without power, down from about 20,000. Crews try to raise a sunken barge containing hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel.
CONNECTICUT: More than 750,000 customers still without power, down from more than 830,000, a number that broke the state record set by the remnants of Hurricane Irene in August. Communications disrupted because of damage to hundreds of cellphone towers. Passengers stranded for seven hours or more on tarmac at Hartford's airport after being diverted from New York-area airports. At least two deaths.

Center receives $7.5 M to study online learning for the disabled
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
The University's Center for Research on Learning received a $7.5 million grant to study the
effectiveness of online learning for students with disabilities in kindergarten through 12th grade.
TRICK OR DRINKS
The study will help advance new uses of technology in education, in said Diana Greer, assistant research professor at the center. She said the grant will also help researchers
other organizations: The National Association of State Directors of Special Education and the Center for Applied Special Technology. Both organizations provide educational services for students with

SEAN SMITH associate professor of special education
understand how the Internet can improve learning.
"The rate of online learning is increasing at a dramatic pace and what we're finding is that we don't know a lot about effective online instruction for students with disabilities," Greer said. "As more and more of these students are using online as a means of instruction, it's important to learn about what's effective for these students."
The University's Center for Research on Learning will create the Center for Online Learning and Students with Disabilities with two
disabilities.
Researchers will carry out comprehensive surveys with students, teachers and parents in 25 states and will examine the approach of several pilot study sites nation-wide. The results will
help determine the effectiveness of online learning in general and specialized education curriculums.
Sue Geoffrion Neverve, special services teacher for Lawrence Virtual High School, works with 25 to 30 students in the district through
Lawrence USD 497's "Virtual High School" program, which the University's Center for Research works with, offers classes to students with disabilities.
Greer said that the study's findings will be circulated around the country to improve educational opportunities nationwide.
the online curriculum. Geoffrion Neverve said that she was pleased the University received the grant because online learning provides students who have disabilities access to education in a comfortable setting.
"Kids are all use to that anyway, they're growing up in a world that is all electronic," she said. "So the more we can develop things to match that and match their expectations — basically teach in their language — the better off we will be as educators."
Sean Smith, associate professor of special education at the University and co-principal investigator of the study, said that the Center didn't expect the five-year grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education. Smith said that while the study focuses on kindergarteners through 12th graders, he hopes the findings can be applied to online learning in higher education as well.
"If you look around, the growth in online learning is tremendous," he said. "We hope, through this center, to further expand work to make sure kids with disabilities or individuals with disabilities are included in this online movement."

KU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Don't get used to seeing this kind of lineup all season. Coach Bill Self must deploy an inexperienced unit because of the suspensions of senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson and the minor knee injury of junior forward Thomas Robinson. Without those three, junior guard Travis Releford and junior center Jeff Withey, both reserves until this season, are expected to lead to the team. While there's just about nothing at risk in an exhibition. Releford and Withey still have much to prove to their fans and their coach, no matter the opponent.
PLAYER TO WATCH
NAADIR THARPE
With Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylon and Braeden Anderson all declared partial qualifiers. Tharpe is the freshman with the most to offer this season. Taylor will serve his suspension during the two exhibition games, so Tharpe will take over the starting point guard duties and have a chance to show off his speedy skills early. His

first job: Don't force passes, just find the open man. After that, pay more attention to the jump shot.
WHO'S GOING TO STEP UP?
QUESTION MARK
Robinson, Taylor and Johnson are widely regarded as the three best players on this team. After them, it's nothing but untapped potential. With all three on the sideline, this exhibition should hint at who will contribute the most as role players. Reelford, Withey and Tharpe are a bit more documented. Forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley and guards Conner Teahan, Niko Roberts, Christian Garrett, Merv Lindsay and Jordan Juenemann are lesser known. Two to three of these guys will likely separate themselves from the rest and work their way into a consistent niche.
HEAR YE, HEAR YI
"The numbers are so small, everybody has to play anyway. And then if you take two or three guys off your starting lineup, I mean, we're going to be playing with walk-ons tomorrow. There's no question about that. And I'm not talking about the ones we put on scholarship. I'm talking about Jordan, which is fine, and Niko. Those guys are going to get in the game, so that won't be the same team that will be playing in the Garden unless we have a lot of injuries, but it will give those guys an opportunity."

NAADIR THARPE, GUARD
M. JOHNSON
Tharpe has no chance to hide. It's the first exhibition, and he's the starting point guard, not the suspended Taylor. Tharpe is labeled as a pure point guard — a distributor first, scorer second. We might not see that style as much tonight because if Tharpe doesn't shoot the ball, who will? Even without Taylor, Robinson and Johnson on the floor, Tharpe would be wise to keep turnovers at a minimum.
Relefora
★★★☆☆
IKAVIS KELLEFUKU. GUAKU
BROOKLYN
Releford will be one of the primary options on offense tonight and the stalwart on defense this season. He's been challenged by Self to be one of the best defenders in the nation and the man to stick by the opposition's best outside scorer. Releford, from the same 2008 freshman class as Taylor and the Morris twins, has been waiting for this year since he came to Lawrence. It's finally here, and it's time to validate the hype.
Teahan
★★★☆★
CONNER TEAHAN. GUARD
Releford will take Johnson's spot, so Teahan will step in for Releford. This is the most obvious skill discrepancy in the makeshift starting lineup, compared to who will usually trot out there. Self hasn't needed Teahan in the past, but this team isn't filled with lottery picks like fans are used to seeing. While he won't be starting in the regular season unless there's another suspension or an injury, Teahan will still be a part of the rotation.
Young
★★☆★★
KEVIN YOUNG. FORWARD
Young, who will replace Robinson tonight, is a high-energy forward who scraps for rebounds and scores inside. Just as Tharpe will be the first guard off the bench, Young will likely be the first forward off the hench this season. In the exhibitions, he's a prime double-double candidate. In the regular season, we'll find out if he's ready for the Big 12.
Withey
★★★☆☆
JEFF WITHEY. CENTER
Withey can be the difference between borderline Big 12 title and true NCAA tournament title content. The skills are all there, now it's time to wait for the production. With no one in his way, look for Withey to feature what fans have been waiting to see in tonight's exhibition.

ERIC RAY. GUARD
Ray will have to play great for Pittsburgh State to keep the game close. He led the team in scoring with 12.2 points per game last season and looks to do much of the same this year. His senior leadership should help calm the nerves of playing in front of the 16,300 screaming fans inside Allen Fieldhouse.

COURTNEY INGRAM, GUARD
Ingram began his collegiate career at Drury University where he averaged 2.1 points per game as a freshman. He then transferred to Pittsburgh State and only appeared in 10 games last season, but averaged nine points and 20 minutes per game. Ingram will be teamed with Ray on the perimeter and looks to play a much bigger role for the Gorillas in 2011-2012.

Pittsburg State finished last season at 13-13 overall with a 9-13 mark in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Conference. Coach Kevin Muff is entering his second season at Pittsburg State after spending 12 seasons as the coach at Cloud County Community College. Last year's team had two Honorable Mention All-MIAA selections, senior forward Andra Bailey and senior guard Eric Ray. The Gorillas were selected fifth in the MIAA preseason coaches poll and seventh in the media poll. They return four starters and nine letterwinners from last season's team. Pittsburgh State is 0-8 overall against Kansas, dating back to 1944.

CAN THE GORILLAS PULL OFF
THE UPSET?
MIKE GUNNEO/KANSAN FILE PHOTO ___ Kory Carpenter
If Pittsburgh State is ever going to play Kansas close — let alone win this would be the year. Already faced with a thin lineup, coach Bill Self suspended guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson for both of the team's exhibition games. Thomas Robinson's status is also questionable after hyperextending his knee in practice last week. Self said the coaches and trainers would evaluate Robinson in practice Monday and make a decision. Walk-onss Jordan Juenemann and Niko Roberts will have to play, according to Self. With Pittsburgh State returning four starters, this exhibition could be closer than Kansas fans might like.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"My expectations are very high, and I think our seniors' expectations are very high. They've been great leaders in the preseason workouts we've been doing. Our ability to work with our team in the preseason, as well, has helped the younger guys and the new faces we have get a feel for our practice situations."

THE GORILLAS WILL BEAT THEIR CHESTS IF
Eric Ray shoots all night and rarely misses, or Kansas just can't score. Even with a full lineup, the Achilles' heel of Self's team may be its lack of scoring punch. Releford, Withey and Tharpe will need some help, and it's no guarantee that their teammates will be capable tonight.
ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF ..
Releford and Withey overpower their inferior foe. They are likely pegged as starters for the regular season and should start to prove they belong there, even in exhibition. Self will depend more on these two for scoring with Taylor, Robinson and Johnson out.

A look at Jayhawks in the NFL
MORNING BREW
Even though the football team is still searching for its first Big 12 victory of the season, the program has a history of sending players to the NFL. Kansas has three players in the NFL Hall of Fame and nine players currently playing in the league. While most of those are bench players, three continue to excel.
AQIB TALIB
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Although he's been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, the cornerback, who played three years in college, is a starting defensive back for the Bucs. In his college career, Talib recorded 162 tackles, 13 interceptions and two defensive touchdowns. According to nfl.com, Talib played in 15 games as a rookie, recording 23 tackles and four interceptions. In 2009, Talib started for the Bucs. During the season, he had 64 tackles and five
interceptions. Through seven games, the four-year veteran has 19 tackles and one interception. Talib is a solid defensive back and will be in the future.
DEZMON BRISCOE
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Briscoe was a deadly wide receiver as a Jayhawk. His 6-foot-2 frame made defending him difficult, and he was quick as well. In his three-year tenure, the playmaking receiver collected 219 receptions, 3,240 yards and 31 touchdowns. Briscoe also averaged 15 yards per catch.
Briscoe hasn't had the same success as Talib, but the talented wide receiver continues to receive more playing time. According to nfl.com, Briscoe only played in two games as a rookie, catching six passes for 93 yards and scoring once. In his second year, he has played in all seven games. Briscoe has 16 receptions for 196 yards and one touchdown. The Bucs latest game was against the Chicago Bears and Briscoe had six receptions for 73 yards and one score.
Dezmon Briscoe is still adjusting to the league, but in his second year, he is a solid option as a number three wide receiver.
Harris had a tougher hill to climb. Briscoe and Talib were drafted, but Harris made the Broncos squad as an undrafted free agent. He also had to deal
CHRIS HARRIS
DENVER BRONCOS
with the lockout during the summer, making it even more difficult to succeed.
In his four years at college, Harris recorded 290 total tackles and three interceptions. Harris' total tackles rank third among Kansas defensive backs all-time. As a rookie, Harris continues to impress the Broncos. He recorded his first career start against the Detroit Lions Sunday. Harris also recorded his career high, leading the team with nine tackles.
Making the NFL as a rookie is one thing, but to become a starter and succeed as an undrafted free agent is another.
With the recent struggles in Kansas football, it is hard to remember these players, but these three Jayhawks will continue to soar in the NFL for many years to come.

COMMENTARY
Taylor's focus is crucial
Coach Bill Self announced the suspensions of guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson from the two exhibition games because of a violation of team rules, and frankly I'm not surprised at all.
Taylor's Kansas career has been inconsistent on the court and even more erratic off it. When Taylor is on his game, he's quick and agile, driving to the basket seemingly at will. At times, though, he'll seem lost on the court, forcing plays and picking up charges at an exponential rate. Taylor is expected to take a leadership role in 2011, but his senior campaign is already off to a rocky start.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Self reiterated that both Taylor and Johnson have behaved well since school started, and the violation occurred during the summer. However, it is discouraging that Taylor still struggles with the simple task of staying out of trouble.
Following his impressive freshman season, the Jayhawk faithful have waited for Taylor to live up to his vast potential, but distractions and immaturity have hindered his ability to break out as a star player for the Jayhaws.
Whether it's social media trouble or fights with the football team, Taylor has constantly ended up in Self's doghouse. Taylor's association with "violating team rules" has been more of an expectation than an isolated occurrence, and that needs to change if the Jayhawks are going to succeed this season.
I am not concerned that the Jayhawks will struggle at all against Pittsburgh State and Fort Hays State without Taylor and Johnson, but it does not bode well for Kansas that the full team will only have one game to prepare for the showdown against No. 2 Kentucky. Early season losses are not commonplace with Bill Self-coached teams, but the exhibition absences of Taylor and Johnson make winning against the Wildcats an even more daunting task.
Taylor must realize that this team doesn't have the Morris twins, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed anymore; the Jayhawks do not have the luxury of depth and will rely on Taylor more than ever before. Taylor is the only senior in the Jayhawks' starting five and should start taking the responsibility that senior leadership entails.
It is encouraging that Taylor has demonstrated sound leadership since classes began, and this trend will have to continue for the entire season, not just a couple of months. The fact that Taylor took his game to the next level at the end of last season has me intrigued about what he'll do on the court this year, but I hope immaturity doesn't prevent Taylor from achieving greatness.

KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
If the old adage is true that fans shouldn't put much stock in exhibition games, Kansas fans should multiply it by 10 heading into tonight's game against Pittsburg State.
A few weeks after freshmen Jamari Traylor and Ben McLemore were ruled ineligible for the year, junior forward Thomas Robinson hyperextended his knee in practice last week, making him questionable for the first exhibition. Coach Bill Self then announced Sunday that guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson were suspended for both exhibition games.
That's three starters and two potential breakout freshman who won't be available against Pittsburg State tonight.
- Edited by Javson Jenks
"If you don't have a healthy Thomas and you don't have a healthy backcourt, then obviously it's not the same team," Self said. "Sixty percent of your stuff is gone."
Whatever happens in the opener today, it won't be what fans will see the rest of the season. Self said walk-ons Jordan Juenemann and Niko Roberts will see plenty of action, which certainly wouldn't happen with a healthy lineup.
"Those guys are going to get in the game, so that won't be the same team that will be playing in [Madison Square Garden] unless we have a lot of injuries," Self said. "But it will give those guys an opportunity."
Opportunities will be there for everyone on the roster, including freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe, who looks to be in Self's regular rotation. But Tharpe will start against Pittsburg State in place of Taylor. Self said Tharpe has an opportunity because he'll eventually be counted on in big situations.
"My expectations are that we just go out there and play with some energy and some enthusiasm, play tough and see how some newcomers react when they have to play a lot," Self said.
As for everyone else, it looks to be a good chance for coaches to see how they respond to everything.

Gill on his team: We're just doing OK
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Ever positive and always encouraging Turner Gill had a slight change in tone for the first time all season. During yesterday's weekly Big 12 teleconference, Gill gave a look at how he and his 2-6 team are faring.
"We're just doing OK." Gill said. But "just OK" might be an understatement for this Kansas team
It's hard to see how Gill could have any kind of optimism after opponents have outscored his team by 81 points in the last two games. Dating back to the Georgia Tech game — Kansas' first loss six games ago — the Jayhawks have been outscored by 163 points, an average of 32.6 points per game.
When Gill was asked if he could find any positives during his team's 43-0 thrashing against Texas, his answer provided some insight as to where the Kansas football program currently stands.
Gill pointed to his defense's toughness, particularly in the red zone, as a strength from the game. Gill found his defense to be a positive after allowing 590 total yards against Texas. The Jayhawks also gave up 441 rushing yards and 6.3 yards per carry and allowed Texas to convert on 11 of 16 third downs.
Gill then commented on what happened offensively in a game in which the Jayhawks only accounted for 46 total yards.
"Offensively, the guys played hard," Gill said. "But we just didn't do a very good job, so we've just got to coach better and continue to work with our players."
Trying to pound the ball up the middle did not work against the talented Longhorns. Kansas' 20 rushing attempts led to minus-2 rushing yards.
If the Jayhawks wanted to be a run-oriented team, as Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long said before the season, they clearly couldn't do that against Texas.
KU
Gill didn't mention a lack of player execution Monday, a rarity for Gill. Instead, his explanation for what happened to the offense gives insight to what's been happening with Kansas football all season.
"We've just got to coach better," Gill said. "We just got outcoached on that side, really on both sides of the ball. It was a combination of us just getting outcoached and outplayed. Simple as that."

Coach Turner Gill walks off the field in defeat after being shutout by the Texas Longhorns Saturday night. Kansas gave up 43 points and remained winless in Big 12 play. Kansas is now 2-6 this season.

Students with night classes during home basketball games get hit with a double whammy. Not only do they miss the games but some have trouble finding parking while in class.
On game days an influx of out of town fans, or students looking to shorten their walk to the game, make for a shortage of campus parking spots.
Meshaal Khan, a senior from Overland Park, had to park behind Bailey Hall instead of Anschutz Library. Khan said she goes to the library a couple times a week and isn't looking forward to walking farther during the winter.
"It'll be annoying to walk in the snow." she said.
Field supervisor for KU Parking and Transit David Moore doesn't expect the closed lots to cause problems.
Adding to the shortage of parking spots is the fact that KU Parking and Transit reserves several student lots around Allen Fieldhouse for game day parking. These include lots 71 and 72 next to the Burge Union and Allen Fieldhouse as well as lots 125 and 127 between Arrocha and Hogland ballparks. Lot 90 in front of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center is also reserved during games.
"It's pretty much what we've done every year." Moore said. Moore said the Parking and Transit website has information available to help students plan where to park during basketball games.
Gabriela Lemmons, a graduate
in English from Tonganoxie, plans ahead for basketball game parking. She arrived early Tuesday evening to get a parking spot in front of Watson Library. She said she tried
to get there right at 5 p.m., when parking on Jayhawk Boulevard is open.
"I try to park close by," she said.
"I don't want to walk to far by
myself."
She said she doesn't expect to have a problem parking on Jayhawk Boulevard during basketball season.
"It's all about pre-planning," Lemmons said.

West Virginia University, the newly accepted Big 12 member, filed a lawsuit Monday seeking an immediate separation from the Big East Conference.
WV
As part of the Big East's
As part of the big Easts bylaws, schools are required to pay a $5 million exit fee and are subject to a 27-month waiting period in order to leave the conference. West Virginia's acceptance to the Big 12 was announced Friday, but the Big East made it clear that the school will be held to the waiting period.
"We are disappointed that West Virginia has adopted this strategy and cannot imagine why it believes it does not have to respect and honor the bylaws it agreed to as a member of the Big East," Big East commissioner John Marinatto said in an official statement.
The 14-page suit filed with Mongolia County (W. Va.) Circuit Court requested that the court declare the Big East bylaws invalid because the conference breached its contract by failing to maintain a balance between football and non-football playing members.
In less than two months, the Big East lost Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Texas Christian University and West Virginia to other conferences, putting the Big East's automatic qualifier status in serious ieopardy.
Despite the clear legal hurdles awaiting West Virginia, the school is ready to move forward as a member of the Big 12.
Big 12 officials were in Morgantown, W. Va., on Tuesday to officially welcome West Virginia as the conference's newest member.
Big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas was on hand at the reception and presented West Virginia president James P. Clements with the Big 12 membership agreement, sparking Clements to jokingly declare, "now, it's official."
Neinas praised West Virginia as a flagship research institution that has nationally recognized athletics programs.

Kansas libraries leading in access to e-books
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
More e-books are available in libraries this year than ever before, and Kansas libraries are leading an effort to keep them there.
Nationwide, 82 percent of public libraries across the country offered e-books in 2011, up 10 percent from last year, according to a survey published by Library Journal. Academic libraries saw a more modest increase of one percent, with 95 percent in the nation offering e-books.
But with that increase, some libraries have seen the terms of their contracts with publishers change radically, raising the question of
Kansas recently decided to change vendors when prices spiked and the terms of ownership changed in a proposed contract renewal with OverDrive, a national e-book distributor. Jo Budler, the state librarian, balked at those changes and decided to let that contract expire in December. From then on, the state library will contract with 3M for its e-books and with Recorded Books
whether the libraries are purchasing ownership of the books, or merely renting them for the period of the contract. The state library o
GABRIELLE SCHNEIDER
Budler
The first problem, according to Budler, was a price increase of 700 percent. The state library currently pays OverDrive $10,800, but that cost would have increased each year under the new contract, reaching $75,000 in the third and final year.
"We've had a contract with OverDrive since 2005 and pricing was pretty steady up until a year ago," Budler said. "There were two things in the renewal that were pretty problematic."
for audio books.
The second problem was that the new contract left ownership of the content with OverDrive. The current contract gives the state library permanent access to all of the content it purchases. Under the new contract, the library would have lost all of the content if and when it left OverDrive.
"We said 'no,' Budler said. "We're challenging that we lease rather than own."
She said Kansas was, in some ways, a leader among libraries negotiating terms with publishers in the emerging e-book market.
Kansas was one of the first states to organize its libraries into a statewide consortium to negotiate with publishers. Butler said that, at a conference last week, she spoke with librarians from other states who said they didn't think their libraries had ownership of the digital content they were purchasing. Bu-
dler advised them to look closely at their contracts.
"You have to regotiate that," she said.
The Kansas State Library currently offers at least 2,447 e-books and 7,732 downloadable audiobooks, among other digital content.
The current contract with OverDrive ends Dec. 5. Butler said the new contract with M3 provides for the libraries ownership of content and other state libraries may not have reached such favorable terms. The state library will start testing 3M's system in December. Budler said 3M was a little behind in its development of the state library's platform, but that she didn't think there would be any gap in downloadable
The e-books that patrons download from the library work on most electronic readers. Budler said the Amazon Kindle does not support some of those, but that Amazon was working with publishers to make the content and the readers compatible.
The Lawrence Public Library participates in the state library program and patrons can down-
availability between the end of the current contract and the beginning of the new one. More than half of the library's e-books, and 40 percent of the audio books are currently moving over to the new 3M platform.

MEXICO CITY
An earthquake has shaken the seabed well off Mexico's Pacific coast.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-6.3 quake at 5:32 a.m. Tuesday was centered 206 miles (333 kilometers) south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas and 141 miles (227 kilometers) from Sorcorro Island. That volcanic island is inhabited by a small Mexican Navy detachment and its waters are popular with scuba divers.
There are no reports of damage or injury. The USGS initially calculated the magnitude at 6.5
SAO PAULO
The U.S. National Weather Service's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has not posted any warning or advisory for the quake, which was centered about 3 miles (5 kilometers) deep.
Brazil's former president has left a hospital after receiving his first chemotherapy treatment for throat cancer.
Doctors say former President Luiz Inaculo Lula da Silva experienced no nausea following the treatment. They also say voice problems caused by the tumor have improved.
Silva will return to Sao Paulo's Sirio-Libanes Hospital for his next round of chemotherapy in three weeks. He is also expected to undergo radiation therapy early next year.
The tumor in Silva's throat was discovered over the weekend. Doctors say they are optimistic he'll make a full recovery.
His presence on Brazil's political scene is viewed as crucial to maintaining his Workers Party in power at various levels across the nation.
LONDON
More than 500 horses from around the world will take part in an equestrian pageant to mark Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee next year.
Organizers on Tuesday announced details of the spectacle, part of celebrations of the queen's 60 years on the throne.
The "World Comes to Windsor" will feature 800 performers and 500 horses in a event inspired by the many countries the monarch has visited during her reign — and her lifelong love of horses.
It will include displays by Britain's Household Cavale, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the New South Wales Mounted Police, as well as by American cowboys, Russian Cossacks and Australian aboriginal performers.
It will be held on May 10, 11 and 13 at Windsor Castle, with the queen attending the final show.
KHARTOUM. SUDAN
Sudanese officials say government forces have repelled a large rebel attack in South Kordufan state, an oil-producing region along the border with newly independent South Sudan.
The state's governor, Hamed Haroon, said government forces killed more than 100 rebels in the fighting Monday. Some soldiers were killed, though Haroon did not say how many.
Rebels with the Sudan People's Liberation Army consider themselves underrepresented in Sudan's government and frequently attack government troops from areas they control in the Nuba mountains.
Army spokesman Col. Al-Sawarmi Khalid Saad told the Sudan Media Center that about 700 SPLA fighters attacked the Toladi area from three directions but were defeated by government troops.
Campus vaccine clinics canceled for the week
Clinics were scheduled to take place on Wednesday and Thursday.
Low vaccine supplies have forced the cancellation of remaining flu clinics on campus. In a news release, the University said that the steady demand led to the decision.
Vaccinations are still available by appointment with Watkins Memorial Health Center. Those interested can call (785) 864-9507.

New uses found for Kinnect in medicine, among others
in medicine, among others
At the Lakeside Center for Autism in Issaquah, Wash., three 5-year-olds stand in front of a big screen displaying a river-rafting game. They laugh as they jump or wave their arms, making their on-screen avatars do the same through the use of Kinect motion-sensing technology.
Across the globe, hospitals in Cantabria, Spain, are testing a Kinect application allowing doctors and nurses to wave their arms to pull up patient charts or X-rays.
Kinect, launched a year ago to accompany Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming consoles.
enables people to control and take part in games using only gestures, body movements or voice commands.
Since then, though, people in different spheres have experimented with using Kinect for other purposes.
Microsoft dubbed the phenomenon the "Kinect Effect" and expects to launch a Kinect for Windows commercial program early next year.
The program is designed to provide tools — mainly a software development kit — to build business applications using Kinect.

Pakistani rap artist Adil Omar rises within international music scene
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Adil Omar was a 16-year-old rapping in his bedroom in Pakistan when a member of the American group Cypress Hill discovered his music on the Internet and invited him out to Los Angeles to record together.
That was four years ago, and Omar has now recorded songs with several other American rappers, including Everlast from House of Pain, Xzibit and one of the members of Limp Bizkit. He plans to release his first album next year and has established himself as Pakistan's biggest one and perhaps only — rap star.
His rise illustrates a side of Pakistan that is often obscured by the steady stream of news about the Taliban and al-Qaida that comes out of the country. Many Pakistani cities have thriving subcultures that get little attention in the West.
But hard-core rap like Omar's laced with profanity and sexual innuendo is almost unheard of, and could even be dangerous in a society plagued by Islamist militants.
"I think it's a little explicit sometimes, but I think it's good music," said Waleed Ali Khan, a 20-year-old student. "I think he is breaking new ground and paving the way for new artists."
who favors black sunglasses and T-shirts with half-naked women.
"Violence seems to be totally acceptable in this culture, but sex and bad language in music and art seems to be totally unacceptable," said Omar, a clean-cut looking 20-year-old with short black hair
Even among Omar's friends and fans, some were surprised by the swearing and sexual references that flow through his music.

Bank cancels debit card fee
JONATHAN SHORMAN
jshorman@kansan.com
The corporation had planned to charge debit card customers a $5 monthly fee for using its cards. Bank of America was set to begin charging on Jan. 1.
Bank of America announced Tuesday that it would not implement a planned debit card usage fee after public outcry.
Bank officials said additional revenue was needed to gain back a $2 billion annual loss because of new federal "swipe fee" regulations, which began Oct. 1, the Associated Press reported.
In the release, Darnell also said that the company would not currently be charging the fee, nor would the company move forward with any additional plans to do so.
"We have listened to our customers very closely over the last few weeks and recognize their concern with our proposed credit usage fee." David Darnell, co-chief operating officer, said in a news release.
Bank of America, with approximately 17,750 ATMs in the United States, is one of the largest banks so far to abandon plans to charge customers a debit card usage fee.
"Hundreds of thousands of consumers joined the movement to push Bank of America, and its competitors, to eliminate its $5 debit card fee," the website said. "In less than one month, Bank of America went from announcing the fee, to reeling under huge pressure from the media, Congress and change.org."
An online petition on change, org garnered more than 306,000 signatures asking that plans for the fee be canceled.
Other banks have also canceled plans to implement new fees in the face of intense public pushback. As an example, the Associated Press reported on community banks in Arkansas who had decided not to levy new fees on customers. The AP reported these banks have seen an increase in business.
"It certainly is giving us some opportunity, but quite frankly, I don't think the big play will hit until those charges start, probably at the first of the year or whenever they kick them in," John Womack, chairman of Arvest Bank's central Arkansas region, told the AP.

Home basketball games are not the only sporting events students have to plan around. Rob Jackson, a student in biology and biochemistry from Robinson, said football games make parking especially difficult.
PARKING FROM PAGE 1
Jackson said normally there's only a few spots behind Wescoe Hall open during football games.
"I usually go to the library on Saturday mornings," he said. "So football kind of screws me over."
"I'd say I make about $60 to $80 dollars per game," Sowers said. "My whole neighborhood sells parking spaces."
Sowers said he sells three or four spaces for $15 to $20.
While some students have complained about parking, to others it is an economic boom. Ryan Sowers,
a senior from Wichita, sells parking spaces where he lives at 19th and Missouri streets.
However Sowars said he and his neighbors didn't have much luck during the season opener against Pittsburg State. He hopes parking profits will pick up when the regular season starts.

EBOOKS FROM PAGE 1
load those e-books using their local library card, according to Sherri Turner, assistant director of the library. The state library provides its own card, which can also be used to download e-books and audio books from the state's website. Turner said the local platform would accept those as well, in the future. She said the Lawrence library will adapt as the state library changes digital platforms.
"We're still waiting for training and information to know exactly how that's going to work for us", Turner said. She said the state and local library websites also steered patrons toward sources of free downloadable content, such as Project Gutenberg, which provides classic literature and other works that are out of copyright.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2011
Currie said the University will not be affected by changes at the state library, and will continue to purchase e-books at the same level or higher, depending on demand. Students can access the University's collection through KU Libraries' website.
KU Libraries has participated in the state-wide e-book program in the past, but now purchases digital content from various vendors and publishers, according to Lea Currie, head of collection development at KU Libraries.
"Most of the e-books provided by the state consortium are not appropriate for a research library," Currie wrote in an e-mail. "Therefore, KU selects e-books that support the teaching and research of students and faculty at the research university level."

Common products may pose danger to students
While many Kansas students have questioned if they should do laundry, others are worried about what they are using for it. The Green Clean Initiative, hosted by an Environmental Studies class, has told students that many common cleaning products, including laundry detergent and shampoo, contain harmful chemicals like carcinogens.
Erin Diel, a senior from Overland Park, said effects from these chemicals can vary; they can range from skin irritation from dyes and scents, increased chances of disease
and even effects on future children's development.
Along with education, these students have also handed out samples of "green detergent," which they made from shaved organic soap, Borax and washing soda. These samples contain enough detergent for two loads of laundry and cost 16 cents.
Diel said not only is this detergent good for your body, but it actually works.
"I've used them on my clothes and it cleaned an entire load of wash," she said. "It works great."
away with their price tags, Diel said that making organic cleaners yourself is cost effective and can lead to changes throughout your life.
"Look at one where you feel that you can make the recipe easily in the amount of time that you have and just transition there," she said. "You'll find that you save a lot of money."
Although some green products found in stores may scare students
The Green Clean Initiative will be on Wescoe Beach until Thursday and will host "Chemerical," a film about these everyday toxins, tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Snow Hall.

University recognized for 20 Fulbright scholarships
The University of Kansas won the second highest number of faculty Fulbright scholarships in the country this year, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Fulbright scholarship winners will have the opportunity to teach and conduct research overseas for a full academic year. The University won nine faculty scholarships.
"This ranking reflects our faculty's outstanding achievements and the importance we place on being an international research university," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a press release.

An exhibit at the Watkins Community Museum of History. 1047 Massachusetts St., shows toys and art representing the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos. The holiday, traditionally celebrated on Nov. 2, is a blend of indigenous and Catholic beliefs that pays tribute to the deceased. The exhibit will be on display throughout the week.
Workers stopped the leak by 5 p.m., about two hours after it was detected in a storage tank in the water purification system of Unit 3 at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, said Todd Adler, the plant's engineering manager.

No radioactive material released in plant leak
IRVINE, Calif.- A non-radioactive ammonia leak at a Southern California nuclear plant prompted an emergency alert and precautionary evacuation of nearby workers before it was contained Tuesday, authorities said.
The emergency alert was required because fumes could prevent access
to certain areas of the plant, Adler told reporters at a media information center in Irvine, Calif. The alert was canceled at 6:07 p.m. and evacuated workers were allowed to return.
The leak was in the non-nuclear section of the plant, which is operated by Southern California Edison. No radioactive material was released, no injuries were reported and there was no danger to the public, the company said.
Approximately 30 gallons of leaked ammonia were collected in a basin underneath the tank that was designed for that purpose, Edison spokeswoman Lauren Bartlett said.
was not affected and other units remained fully operational, Adler said.
Electricity production at the plant
The plant is located about 45 miles north of San Diego, just south of San Clemente, and is jointly owned by Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric and the city of Riverside.
While not dangerous for the public or plant workers, an emergency alert at the power plant is an unusual occurrence.
"This is not normal," Edison spokesman Chris Abel said. "The last time we had one (alert) declared was May 1999, because of a suspected pipe bomb on the freeway."

The U.S. is bankrolling the initiative with $20 million, hoping it will improve education in a country where one-third of primary school-age children are not in class. Washington also hopes the program will increase tolerance at a time when the influence of radical views is growing.
The TV show has a new cast of local characters led by a vivacious 6-year-old girl named Rani who loves cricket and traditional Pakistani music. Her sidekick, Munna, is a 5-year-old boy obsessed with numbers and banging away on Pakistani bongo drums, or tabla.

Pakistani audience to get Sesame Street
A total of 78 episodes will be aired in Pakistan's national language, Urdu, over the next three years, as well as 13 in each of the four main regional languages, Baluchi, Pashtu, Punjab and Sindhi. The shows will appear on Pakistan state television, and the producers hope they will reach 3 million children. 1 million of whom are out of school.
The American version of Sesame Street first aired in 1969, and the U.S. government has worked with the company since then to produce shows in about 20 foreign countries, including Muslim nations like Bangladesh and Indonesia.
Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch are nowhere in sight. But there's Elmo. And new creatures too, like Bally, a kindly donkey who loves to sing, and Haseen O Jamele, a vain crocodile who lives at the bottom of a well.
Sesame Street is coming to Pakistan but not as generations of Americans know it.

Sorry, I can't go out with you. I need to stay home and organize my iTunes.
These days, college students can be found wandering the halls searching for any sort of quality WiFi reception. Those who manage to access the internet live in constant dread of a severed connection with the rest of online society. One student goes mad during a research project as the internet freezes for the seventh time.
I'm getting an erection just thinking about being in Allen Fieldhouse for the first game!
While these remain exaggerations heard by students who live on Daisy Hill and other University housing on a daily basis, the fact remains that the internet provided by Apogee for student housing has proven inadequate to the needs of the student body. Now, many wonder if it's truly the best option.
Campus Internet provider Apogee disappointing so far
In an Apogee press release posted on marketwatch.com, representatives cited Apogee partner Hardin-Simmons University in Texas, which was praised in eCampus News "for meeting the growing challenge of bandwidth management by signing on with Apogee to manage bandwidth and ResNet on campus." According to the release, Apogee has taken the load off of administrators and created a faster, more efficient residential network at HSU.

pany proclaims that it's "the nation's largest and most innovative provider of on-campus residential networks (ResNets) for higher education." But this statement is not holding true at the University right now.
Company (CWCC) is triple the speed of Apogee according to Net Index. Also, Apogee was contracted to deliver wireless Internet to all ResNet buildings by May 2011, yet most students still don't have wireless capability.
Apogee was one of two vendors who provided bids to the University for the contract. The other vendor, Televideo, criticized the University for providing inadequate time for potential bidders to review the contract and services to be provided. And now local provider CWCC is currently lobbying elected officials to persuade University officials to compete with Apogee for student Internet services.
Surely, when the University agreed to an eight year contract entrusting Apogee to provide internet for the residence halls, they anticipated the kind of innovation demonstrated at HSU. Instead, this deal has the feeling of a large company transaction; one marked by efficient pricing, mediocre production, and poor customer

ADVICE
Smoking causes relationship haze
By Liz Stephens
lstephens@kansan.com
Need some advice? Email Liz at lstephens@kansan.com to help solve anything from dating dilemmas to roommate troubles. Dear Liz,
I just started seeing this girl. She's smart, funny, my friends like her and she's hot. I can see myself being with her for the long term. There's one problem: she smokes. This girl makes me really happy and I don't want to have to break things off over something petty like this, but I can't stand cigarette smoke or her nasty cigarette breath. What do I do?
Tyler, junior
There aren't that many options here, Tyler, and that's why this is going to be simple to solve. It's a common thing that a person with whom you get involved is not quite what you expect and there are going to have to be some adaptations on either her or your side if this is going to work out.
First, she can adjust to your non-smoking. Talk to her about it. She may stop because she respects your opinion and values your company. Maybe you could come to a compromise. Does it matter if she lights up when you aren't around or do you want her to quit completely? Will you back out if she doesn't quit the habit?
Your second option is to accommodate her smoking. Prime yourself to tolerate cigarette smoke and tar breath. Carry mints around and offer them to her. You may have to see this as
your problem instead of hers and just get over it.
Tyler, I encourage you to think about why you are involved with this girl in the first place. You two aren't dating solely for her mouth. I hope. You like her, she makes you happy, and she can play Call of Duty with your friends like a champ. It's possible that you may overlook her shortcomings and be able to see that her smoking is just a cloud in the sky of beautiful things that make her great. That's the funny thing about getting involved with someone; they aren't going to meet all your requirements and you won't meet theirs either. As you adjust to each other, maybe you'll find that what you thought was a necessity in a mate (non-smoking) is something that wasn't really a big deal in the first place.
Dear Liz,
For my birthday in June my friend bought me a very nice, expensive gift that I appreciated and treasure. Since her birthday is coming up, I feel like I should return the favor. The problem is that I'm not nearly as well off as she is. It's hard for me to buy groceries sometimes so purchasing something in the same price range as a pair of Juicy Couture velour harem pants may be out of the question. Ideas?
Shelbv. sophomore
Give her a lock of your hair,
make her a card, and write her a
song. Trust me, she will cherish
the priceless gifts longer than
she would a pair of velour harem
pants.

CULTURE
Yes, hipsters are people too
Every culture operates with an internal logic, no matter how strange, well-off or down-trodden it seems to be. As an example, suburban families in upstate New York have more in common with Mexican drug cartels than you might realize: both manage to eke out a source of income and have varying forms of expression and individuality. Both have established norms in terms of gender, sexuality and familial structure. All that differs is the way they go about living their daily lives.
"Hipster" culture operates under the same assumptions. Hipsters must find a source of income. They personally express themselves by the clothes they wear. They have distinct perspectives and conceptions of modern domestic life. Sounds to me like suburbanites and drug lords.
By Brett Salsbury
bsalsbury@kansan.com
But what does it really mean to be hipster? I've struggled with this concept for a long time. After a little research, I've come across many qualifications for "hipsterism." Generally, they must possess some of the following: a desire to wear skinny jeans, scarves, non-prescription glasses, knit caps and dirty clothing. They might have a love for the arts, specifically paintings, poetry, fiction and any other form of expression that is difficult to articulate to those in the
mainstream. They might have a love for indie music, not showering daily, vegetarianism and recycling. The general frame of mind behind the hipster, then, is rebelling against any sort of established cultural paradigm about living daily life.
At this point, though, we run into a problem. We can't have an established definition of hipsterism; that isn't hipster! Though, I guess the idea of having a definition, as long as hipsters themselves don't personally identify with said definition, is okay for the purpose of those wishing to have some way of describing them.
A further issue lies in the fact that this hipster culture seems to have made its way into the mainstream, and we've seen this in the past with trends such as "goths" and "emos." Any Lawrence resident can see that "hipsters" are everywhere. Is this a problem? Hipsters are supposed to run the counter-culture, or the antithesis to the established culture; if so
many people are suddenly self-
identifying as hipsters, doesn't
that mean that is it becoming
hipster to not look and act tra-
ditionally hipster?
Running along a similar train of thought (but to a different conclusion), is it "hipster" now to self-identify as hipster? There used to be no definition of hipsterism and those living the lifestyle didn't use this conscious self-identification. This means that those self-identifying as hipster (or, consciously using the term "hipster" to describe themselves) are now the ones out of the mainstream.
All of that aside, hipster culture is valuable for many reasons. As a group of people, we attempt to attach some sort of coherent definition to a population so that we can organize our thoughts and stereotypes about them easier; this happens with hipsters, homosexuals, surburban housewives, drug dealers, fraternity brothers, and all forms of identity among them. In the end, we can't forget that these prejudiced attitudes are incorrect most of the time, and every single person in this world has some varying structure of identity.
Hipsters have feelings too

Offensive problems hard to judge with three major players missing
BASKETBAI
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Bill Self has said this won't be one of his best offensive team's he had at Kansas. His annual defense-first mentality seemed to be ratcheted up this time around because of all the uncertainties his coaching staff faces on the offensive end of the floor. And for three quarters of Tuesday night's game, Self looked like a psychic.
"I thought wed play about like we played," he said. "Which wasn't great. I thought the game would be closer."
Now, before going any further, it needs to be noted that Kansas played without three starters — Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor, and Elijah Johnson — because of a Robin-
So nothing of note could be taken from Tuesday night, and nothing will be 100 percent clear until the team is at full strength. But the question remains: Where will the offense come from? Robinson was pegged a pre-season first team All-American by CBS, so there's an easy choice. Taylor averaged nine points per contest last season and will be the primary point guard for about 30 minutes a game this year, along with Johnson, who played sparingly last season.
from Jeff Withey, who finished with 18 points on 5-for-10 shooting. Withey's aggressiveness was turned up to a level seldom seen by Jayhawk fans, and it showed in his box score: 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 blocks. But Self thought he could have had more.
"I think it's good that jeff got a triple-double," Self said. "But he could have had 22 or 23 points if he makes his free throws."
son day-to-day knee injury and suspensions to Taylor and Johnson for both exhibition games.
On the perimeter, Conner Teahan came out firing, knocking down three-pointers on the team's first three possessions and finishing with 21 points. The former walk-on's playing time wasn't just a product of suspensions or injuries, however.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, Robinson will see his fair share of double-teams this season. The only way to stop that is getting solid production
X
"Conner's our sixth man"
Self said. "There's no ifs, ands or
buts about that."
From not seeing the court until the waning minutes of blowouts to being the first man called off the bench is quite a jump, but Self said he likes Teahan's ability to stretch defenses with his three-point shooting.
And again, Tuesday night's team is a mere shell of what fans will see once the regular season gets underway, but extra production will have to come from someone outside of the missing trio.
"That's not our team." Self said. "You play 200 minutes and 100 of the minutes didn't play. But we got some guys some minutes and I thought some guys really played well."

Game to remember
Conner Teahan, Senior
Teahan wasted no time in taking advantage of his spot in the starting lineup, hitting three consecutive 3-point shots in the opening minutes of the exhibition. He finished with five threes total and led the team with 21 points in 34 minutes played. Self confirmed after the game that Teahan will be the first guy off the bench in the regular season.

While his numbers look respectable on the stat sheet, self said that Releford's individualistic play hurt the team's offensive rhythm in the first half. Pittsburg State was hampered by fouls throughout the game, so many of Releford's 14 points were a product of uncontested fast breaks. Self also said that he needs more from Releford as a defensive leader.

FIRST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
18:45 — Conner Teahan nails his third consecutive three pointer to give the Jayhawks a 9-0 lead.
4:20 — A JaVon McGee steal and layup by Sam Pugh caps off an 11-4 Pittsburg State run which shrunk the Kansas lead to 23-21.
3:26 — Nadir Tharpe knocks down a three-pointer, extending the Kansas lead to 27-21. Kansas ended the first half on an 11-6 run after Pittsburg State cut the lead to two with under five minutes to play.
0. 09 — A layup by Drake Green gets Pittsburg State within five points at halftime with a score of 32-27.
17:49 — Marky Nolan intercepts a Justin Wesley pass, takes it in for the layup and gets Pittsburg State within three, 34-11. It was the closest the Gorillas would get the rest of the game.
SECOND HALF
6:37 — A Naadir Tharpe turnover leads to a layup attempt by Pittsburg State's Courtney Ingram, but he's blocked by Justin Wesley. Instead of getting within 15 points, Pittsburg State gives up nine Kansas points in a little over a minute to go down 74-49.
8:26 — Jeff Withey grabs a defensive rebound and finds a streaking Travis Releford all alone, who finishes with a dunk. Kansas takes a commanding 60-44 lead.
0. 33 — Christian Garrett grabs a steal and passes off to Niko Roberts who lays it in for two, finishing off a 28-11 Kansas run and sealing the victory.
Notes
- Tuesday's win marked the debut of guard Naadir Tharpe and forward Kevin Young.
- Jeff Withey set career highs with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocked shots.
- 84 points was the fewest scored by Kansas in an exhibition since August 30th of 2008.
- The win was the 38th consecutive exhibition win for Kansas, dating back to 1995.
- Bill Self is a perfect 24-0 in exhibition games while at Kansas.

PUBLIC RADIO
On the heels of a rare Sunday game, the Kansas volleyball team will take the court Wednesday with only two days off between contests. That is the shortest layover of the year in conference play for the Jayhawks.
And for junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree, that short time span between games is actually a blessing.
"It's one of those times where you play and things don't go as you want, and you want to get back out there and make a different result happen," Tolefree said. "It's kind of an impatient period, but we have to get through it."
The Jayhawks (13-10, 1-9) will face the Missouri Tigers (18-9, 4-6) in the final Border Showdown of the year at 6 p.m., in the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. It will be the first home game for the Jayhawks since
they defeated Texas Tech on Oct. 21.
Tolefrey was one of the few bright spots for the Jayhawks in their loss to Texas A&M on Sunday. The Lawrence native recorded three solo blocks against the Aggies, falling two shy of the school's single-match record in a four-set contest.
"Tayler has matured from a pretty raw blocker to where she's at now as a junior." Bechard said. "I think she has a lot more confidence, and the speed of the game is slowing down for her."
Coach Ray Bechard praised Tolefree's reaction time and said her defensive play has been growing since she joined the Ivahawks.
As a middle blocker, Tolefree said she only has two jobs: blocking and swinging. If the offense struggles in the rematch against the Tigers, the team will look to blocking from Tolefree and sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc to get them through the funk.
"When things aren't flowing like
we hope offensively, defense is how we keep ourselves in games," Tole-free said. "Blocking is a big part of that."
Both Tolefle and Jarmoc have received Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors this season. Jarmoc, who has also stood out offensively, said the team needs to handle the short wait between contests efficiently.
"We're trying to find a balance between scouting them correctly, working on what we need to work on, without overdoing it and tiring us out more," Jarmoc said.
Despite the rough month in Big 12 play, the Jayhawks are still three games over .500. They are on pace to equal last season's record. But Bechard said sometimes the team loses sight of that accomplishment.
"They are a winning team, but when you go through an October like we did, it's hard to remember that," he said.

Jayhawks to face Aggies in Texas
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
It's win or go home for the Kansas women's soccer team.
The Jayhawks will face off against a familiar opponent in the Big 12 Championship today as they play the Texas A&M Aggies in a quarterfinal match at 8 p.m. in San Antonio. The Aggies come into the game with one of the most potent offenses in the NCAA, scoring 64 goals in their 19 contests so far this season.
Stopping the Aggies begins with reestablishing Kansas' level of effort. The team lost a 3-0 game to Oklahoma on Friday.
"I think everyone was upset with the effort that was put forward," said sophomore defender Shannon Renner. "Now we're trying to move past it and get back to where we were."
The Kansas coaches discussed Friday's problems over the weekend, but now the team has put that game in the rear-view mirror and is focused on the Aggies.
One of the keys for the layhawks will be picking up the speed of play.
Junior midfielder Whitney Berry said that the speed of play was the major obstacle that held the team back from being successful against Oklahoma.
The other aspect that Kansas has been working on is making sure they win the possession battle.
Junior midfielder Shelby Williamson said the midfielders need to posses the ball and keep it on the ground throughout the game.
An aspect that's been a positive for the jayhawks is their road record. The jayhawks boast a 7-3 record away from Lawrence.
Berry said she doesn't know why
they are better on the road but said it fires them up to play in an away environment. The Jayhawks must win this away game to advance to the next round of the Big 12 Championship tournament.
"The only thing you cat do is put it all out there," Berry sail. "You've got nothing to lose."
THREE PLAYERS NAMED TO ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS
Kansas forward Ingid Vidal was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while teammates Whitney Berry and Liana Salazar were both selected as members of the All-Big 12 Second Team, according to a Kansas athletics news release. It is the third consecutive year that Berry has been picked for All-Big 12 second team.
Vidal and Salazar were also named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team. Vidal leads the Jayhawks this year with 27 points, which ties for the best mark by a Jayhawk freshman.
SEVEN LAND ON ACA DEMIC ALL-BIG 12
Senior midfielder Jordyn Perdue was named to the Academic AllBig 12 First Team for the third time in her career, while Berry and sophomore midfielder Amy Grow, sophomore defender Madi Hillis and sophomore forward Caroline Kastor also received first team accolades.
Senior forward Kortney Clifton and junior defender Shelby Williamson made the Academic All-Big 12 second team. This marks the seventh consecutive season Kansas has had at least six student-athletes on the Academic All-Big 12 Team.

Chargers lose to Chiefs with field goal in overtime
Philip Rivers put his hands under center and called for the snap, one that would have moved the San Diego Chargers to the brink of victory.
Then everything went wrong.
They had trailed Kansas City the whole game, but with the ball at the Chiefs 15-yard line and Nick Novak's right leg warmed up, they were poised to escape with a win on the road.
Kansas City (4-3) became the first team in NFL history to lose its first three games and share at least part of a division
The game headed for overtime, and Ryan Succop eventually knocked through a 30-yard field goal to give Kansas City a dramatic 23-20 victory Monday night.
"It looked to me like Philip got a little anxious and came out early." Chargers coach Norv Turner said gloomily. "That's a very unusual way to not win a game."
Rivers could have prevented all of it from happening.
lead after four more. The Chiefs are also the first team since the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2000 to win four straight games after losing their first three.
"I haven't had one in years," he said of the fumbled snap. "It's不fortunate. I dropped it. This one is rough. You blow it on a play that never should have happened."
Kansas City had its own chance to win in regulation, but Matt Casel overthrew his wide receiver in Chargers territory and Eric Weddle's second interception sent the game to overtime.
San Diego won the toss but failed to pick up a first down, and Cassel calmly led Kansas City down field. Sucpo's field goal with 5:16 remaining gave the Chiefs their fourth straight win and moved them into a tie with San Diego (4-3) and the idle Oakland Raiders (4-3) in the division.
"We were saying, 'Don't quit,'" Studebaker said. "You never quit, even if it looks ugly. If you quit every time something looks ugly, you miss an opportunity to do something special."
The teams combined for eight turnovers, matching the most in an NFL game this season.

Imagine an alternate football universe
MORNING BREW
I can't blame coach Turner Gill for being a nice guy, lucky enough to receive a great contract from an athletic director on his way out. However, during the Texas chainsaw-less massacre that was Saturday's football game, I closed my eyes and imagined an alternate universe, where Lew Perkins and Mark Mangino were still in town. The daydream went something like this ...
There Mangino sat, perched on the top floor of the Gridiron Club's steel bastion. One hand rested on the arm of an Italian leather lounge chair, the other hand waved a glass of scotch. His eyes tilted up at Lew Perkins.
Perkins gazed at Kivisto Field from the bastion's wide windows with his back to Mangino.
By Max Rothman
mrothman@kansan.com
"Well," Mangino said. "What are we going to do?"
Perkins turned slowly toward Mangino and let a grin slide up his face.
"We tell them what it is," Perkins
said. "Constructive criticism."
In this alternate universe the NCAA has been investigating Mangino for years because of his practice routine. Unlike, say, Turner Gill who coaches at Buffalo, Mangino turns the color of a bleeding strawberry and ruthlessly swears at his players each practice. He calls players names abolished before the Monroe Doctrine, words so dirty, three soap sandwiches couldn't clean his mouth.
Perkins calls it "constructive criticism." but the NCAA disagrees, threatening the steel bastion, and the winning. They threaten the house that Mark built.
"I don't want to change my ways," Mangino said. "That victory in Austin on Saturday should be reason enough."
After topping the Longhorns 46-43, Mangino's team is in contention for an Orange Bowl bid. Kale Pick, Todd Reesing's agile and able successor, has kept Kansas' spread offense afloat by finding his favorite receiver Bradley McDougald and by handing it off to running back Toben Opurum.
Meanwhile, the Gridiron Club has triumphed, not flopped. It has become the business savvy, elitist domain for football, alcohol and a Saturday away from home. Most fans could never afford a seat, but the club treats those who can with the finest service ticket scandals can buy. Fillet mignon with a side of butternut squash. Wine, merlot or chardonnay. Texas recruits, quarterbacks or
KU
receivers.
Mangino joins Perkins as they gaze at Kivisto Field, laughing from the top of the steel bastion, pondering life's riches and the powerhouse football program they built.
"Nothing needs to change." Perkins said. "Keep your mouth shut outside of practice and sip your scotch."

REPLAY AND RELIVE KANSAS’ VICTORY OVER PITTSBURG STATE PAGE 8
Assessing the season outlook after watching it play in an exhibition game against Pittsburgh State without its best players - junior forward Thomas Robinson, guards senior Tyshawn Taylor and junior Elijah Johnson — is a difficult task, but the youth and inexperience in the players was evident throughout the game.
The exhibition game against Pittsburgh State was like the final 5 minutes of a Kansas blowout, but instead, it was 40 minutes, and it certainly wasn't the prettiest basketball game.
The Jayhawks' inability to create their own shots against a mediocre Gorilla defense, rebound dominantly, and their sloppy performance on offense are major concerns for a team who will play against top-notch competition this season. The Jayhawks shot a woeful 51 percent from the free throw line, allowed the Gorillas to grab 21 offensive rebounds and committed 23 turnovers, all of which need to be addressed early in the season.
It is incredibly easy to be optimistic about Kansas because of the continual championship-caliber success, but the depth on this year's team is thin, probably the thinnest it has been in recent history, and a Big 12 championship is certainly not a formality, unlike previous seasons.
expectations for the Kansas men's basketball team have and always will remain lofty, but the expectations need to be subdued for the 2011-12 squad.
COMMENTARY Team has room to improve
"It was ugly," coach Bill Self said. "The first half was hard to watch, but I thought we tried hard. Our on-the-ball defense on the perimeter from our big guys was just horrific."
Even though the Gorillas shot 25 percent from the field, the Jayhawks' defense wasn't anything special.
Withey proved that he can be a force to be reckoned with defensively, but his offensive game is a major work-in-progress. The tallest player on Pittsburgh State's roster is JaVon McGee, who is 6-foot-6, and Withey struggled to position himself in the paint. Withey's triple-double – 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks – might have been one of the ugliest triple-doubles.
Teahan provided a nice lift on the offensive side, shooting 63 percent from the 3-point line and making some nice drives to the basket, but this will be the first time in his career that he'll be expected to contribute regularly.
Several of the most influential players in the game will be key contributors this season. It is going to take time for players such as junior center Jeff Withey, senior guard Conner Teahan, junior guard Travis Releford and freshman guard Naadir Tharpe to play at the levels that fans want them to play, which is fairly high, and gel as a cohesive unit.
It's essential that Robinson, Taylor and Johnson pick up what the Morris twins, Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar left. This team lacks the playing experience necessary to win championships and it was apparent against Pittsburg State.
These players showed flashes of excellence, but showing these flashes on a consistent basis will be a big question for Kansas. The Jayhawks were stagnant throughout the first half and the majority of the second half, but finally resuscitated late in the second half.

SIXTH MAN SHOWCASE
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
A former walk-on, backup quarterback and bench regular, senior guard Conner Teahan isn't used to games such as Tuesday night's exhibition, but he will be soon.
"Conner's our sixth man," Self said. "There's no ifs, ands or buts about that."
Teahan sunk three consecutive 3-point shots in the opening minutes of the game, an 84-55 victory against Pittsburg State at Allen Fieldhouse, and cemented
his role as he first guy off the bench in Self's already thin rotation.
"If I want to get in the game, it's got to be on," Teahan said of his jump shot.
His hot start masked what was a sluggish beginning for Kansas in the exhibition. Kansas scored just four points yet surrendered eight turnovers in the seven minutes that followed Teahan's threes.
Careless passes led to turnovers, which ushered the game into a frenzied, sloppy pace in the first half. Although perhaps
the frantic play should have been expected.
Junior forward Thomas Robinson, who hyperextended his knee on Thursday, sat on the sideline in street clothes. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson joined him there as they serve a suspension for violating team rules. Without these three, the Jayhawks initially failed to match their energy with any composure.
"I was a little anty," freshman guard Naadir Tharpe said.
However the team settled down and pulled away from its
in-state opponent as the exhibition progressed.
In the second half, junior center Jeff Withey, who finished with a triple-double of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks, was able to drive from the perimeter and convert hook shots with his back to the defense. Earlier in the game, he struggled to catch the ball as defenders collapsed on him in the paint. As a defender, Withey blocked or altered nearly every shot he faced.
"I told him not to get too excited," Self said. "They're 6-foot-4. You should block shots if
you're 7-foot. Still, though, he's got great timing"
An exhibition game should not be viewed as a literal translation of what fans will see throughout the season. Three of Self's best players didn't suit up. However, early signs indicate that Teahan, a slow guard who can heat up from the perimeter in a hurry, will be more than a bench mainstay.
"I just wanted to get us off to the right start," Teahan said.

Gill wants to move past tough month

With the fall foliage nearing its completion and the temperatures beginning to dip further toward freezing, the Jayhawks know they have reached their final set of opportunities for this 2011 season.
The hope for Kansas is that the cool, crisp air that sweeps in from the north will breathe a wave of fresh air into its stale season. In Tuesday's weekly Kansas football press conference, Turner Gill frequently harped on moving past October and starting anew with November.
"We are looking forward to the month of November because it is about how you finish," Gill said. "I am determined to really change what we have done so far this football season."
Coaches Vic Shealy and Turner Gill survey the field as the Jayhawks warm up before the start of last Saturday night's game against Texas. Kansas entered the game 0-4 in the Big 12 hoped to win their first conference game. However, a 43-0 shutout lowered the Jayhawk's record 2-6 and 0-5 in Big 12 play.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
While Gill said there will be slight changes with personnel and the team's scheme, the more important change will be in the team's practice structure. He made sure to emphasize that there will not be drastic changes with the team, just small adjustments and modifications to the way it does things.
And with his team's poor performance in the month of October, it is not surprising that Gill and his staff will have to try to change something. In its first October game, Kansas jumped out to a 20-1 lead over Texas Tech, before finally losing 34-45. Following that 20-0 lead, Kansas was outscored 264-80 in the rest of October.
"We're taking a lot of blows right now," said senior center Jeremiah Hatch. "I think you can move on. Not forget about it, but move on. It's November. Teams tend to catch a lot of people's eyes. Those are the teams who bounce back, stay together and play hard."
Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said it's easy for teams to get into a routine this far into the season, even if that team is undefeated or if they have not won a game. So as coaches, Shealy said they have to create a little bit of chaos to get the players out of a mundane routine.
Trying to get the most out of his players for the month ahead, Shealy told his defense after the Texas game that he will coach them harder for these final four games, which he said were critical.
"It's what this team will ultimately have a chance to be remembered by," Shealy said. "As coaches, we have to stomp the gas
pedal down."
And when looking at the Jayhawks' upcoming schedule, it's not hard to find where the coaching staff gets their inspiration to try to push the team harder in its final month.
"That's what keeps me going,"
1 /
After playing a series of games against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas, the Jayhawks will face a tough, but less daunting group in Iowa State, Baylor, Texas A&M and Missouri.
Gill said. "I know that we've got hope and opportunities to make some things happen in these next four ball games."

LIGHTS OUT
A DARK NIGHT
ON DAISY HILL
MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN
Daisy Hill lost power last night around 10:30 p.m. Emergency lights were the only source of illumination after the outage. Students said they saw explosive flashes near the corner of Iowa and 15th streets immediately before the power went out.

Yesterday evening, Daisy Hill went dark.
Around 10:30 p.m., residents in Hashinger Hall saw a series
of explosive flashes near the southeast corner of 15th and Iowa streets. Residence halls on Daisy Hill lost power, along with Greek houses and other homes near West Campus Road.
Jackie Endsley, a sophomore from Las Vegas, said she was with friends in Hashinger when they saw a flash of light near Iowa Street.
"It looked like fireworks," Endsley said. "All we saw were the explosions."
She said the lights flickered after each of three bursts, followed by darkness.
More than 1,200 customers were without power in Douglas County Wednesday evening, according to Westar Energy. A Westar employee
working on Iowa Street said the cause of the outage was unknown, but that he expected power to be restored that night. The Lawrence Police Department declined to comment on the situation, as did KU Public safety and desk assistance at the residence halls.
The power outage caught students by surprise in the middle of
their evening routines.
Christine Stanwood, a freshman from Overland Park, was caught in an uncomfortable position when the power went out in Ellsworth Hall.
"We were changing to get in the shower because we just got home from doing yoga, and it was kind of awkward because we were half
naked." Stanwood said. "There was an awkward moment because we wanted to embrace, but didn't. But it's not like we weren't going to shower so we got a flashlight and my roommate manned the door while I took a shower and then

HEALTH
Melanoma a major concern for young adults
MAGGIE YOUNG
myoung@kansan.com
Afton Kissinger, a junior from Overland Park, was a 15-year-old freshman in high school when she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
"People think that it won't happen to them, but you just never know," Kissinger said. "It did happen to me."
Kissinger, like many young adults, never saw skin cancer as a threat. The statistics speak otherwise. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults. One person dies of
melanoma every 62 minutes. The Association of International Cancer research defines melanoma as a dangerous, fast-growing cancer that spreads quickly.
Kissinger said before her doctor's visit, she noticed abnormal moles that were raised and composed of two different colors. It turns out that these are two of the main signs to check for when examining abnormal moles on the body.
Holly Fritch, a dermatologist in Leawood with 23 years of experience in the field, said people, especially young adults, need to pay more attention to their skin. Fritch said to look for moles that contain faded margins and are flat
and pink.
"Growth, growth, growth," Fritch said. "Watch for moles that are evolving."
Fritch said to only go out in the sun if it's really worthwhile.
The Skin Cancer Foundation teaches individuals to look for the 'ABCDEs' of moles. The acronym provides a check list for self-examination. It stands for asymmetry, border, color, diameter and elevation.
If a mole changes in one of the ABCDE categories, then it is time to get checked by a professional.
Professional skin examinations every three years for people under 40.
THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Check your skin once a month, using a mirror to check hard-to-see places
Blaine Barnes, a senior from Littleton, Colo., removed a pre-melanoma mole from the back of his neck last year.
"You can never be too old to be proactive about skin cancer," Rothschild said. "It's a timeless message."
"It's scary," Barnes said. "I'm lucky I caught it when I did or who knows what boat I would be in now."
Barnes said it's simple to limit the amount of time outside, and it would be in everyone's best interest to take the necessary precautions.
Meghan Rothschild, a 27-year-old melanoma survivor from Wilbrham, Mass., said the message applies to everyone. Rothschild spoke about her experiences in a skin cancer awareness video titled "Dear 16-year-old-me," which was sponsored by the Melanoma Research Foundation. Rothschild received her diagnosis at age 20, the median age of a typical college student.
Call your doctor if you notice any changes.
- Reduce your exposure to sunlight. Ultraviolet light is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Protect your skin by wearing hats, long-sleeved shirts, long skirts, or pants.
Use sunscreen in winter, too. Protect yourself even on cloudy days. Avoid sun lamps and tanning beds.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, cancer can be prevented by using shade, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen and avoiding indoor tanning beds. It states that the vast majority of mutations found in melanoma are caused by ultraviolet radiation.
"College students tend to think they are invincible because they are young." Fritch said. "And young people are typically healthy, but melanoma doesn't abide by that."
Rothschild recommends individuals make a trip to the dermatologist twice a year to make sure they catch any suspicious spots early.
Sources: The American Cancer Society, U.S. National Library of Medicine
Carolyn Appelbaum, a junior from Overland Park, said she took the necessary precautions and her doctor still found a high-degree melanoma spot on her lower back this summer.
"Just avoiding sun exposure doesn't mean you are safe," Appelbaum said. "It can show up randomly and it's not something you really think about happening to you."

At least 70,200 new melanomas will be diagnosed this year.

Police in Puerto Rico say they have seized $500,000 in cash during a routine traffic stop.
Police said they stopped an erratic driver on Wednesday who told authorities he had a bag full of money inside the car.
The authorities did not release further details and said the investigation is ongoing. No one has been arrested.
Four other similar seizures have been reported this year.
Federal agents in late July seized more than $200,000 in cash from the roof of a car bound for the Dominican Republic. In February, agents detained two men in a taxi with $580,000 in suitcases. Local police stopped a suspect in February with $670,000 stuffed inside beer boxes, a month after they seized more than $1 million in cash from another driver.
MOGADISHU. SOMALIA
A Somali pirate and a government official say that fighting broke out between a local government force and pirates holding two hostages from the U.S. and Denmark.
The self-proclaimed pirate, Bile Hussein, said Wednesday that armed men from the Himan and Heeb local administration attacked a group of pirates Tuesday as they tried to meet local elders about the hostages.
Pirates kidnapped the American and the Dane — aid workers with the de-mining unit of the Danish Refugee Council — last month.
Mohamed Aden Tiey, the top local official in the Himan and Heeb region, said one pirate was killed.
SARAJEVO,
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
Aden said the two are being held in a village called Degan near the pirate town of Haradhere. They were not present at the scene of the fight.
Bosnia has arrested two men suspected of helping a gunman who opened fire with an automatic weapon outside the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo.
A statement from the state prosecutor's office Wednesday said 24-year-old Dino Pecenkovic, and Munib Ahmetpasic, 21, were arrested and should remain in custody during a one-month investigation period.
The two are accused of participating in an act of terrorism by driving gunman Mevlid Jasarevic from their northern Bosnian village of Gornja Maoca to the embassy last Friday.
Jasarevic injured a policeman before a police sniper ended his 30 minute-long shooting spree with a shot to his leg. He was detained Monday after being released from hospital.
BEIJING
China moved one step closer to setting up its own space station early Thursday, with two spacecraft docking successfully above the earth.
The state-run Xinhua News Agency said the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou 8 docked with the 'Tiangong 1 module now in orbit as China moved ahead with its most ambitious space project to date. Shenzhou 8 launched Tuesday from a base in far western China.
China launched its own space station program after being turned away in its repeated attempts to join the 16-nation International Space Station. That was largely on objections from the United States, which is wary of the Chinese space program's military links.

Government seeks enrollment stats
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Students sit in the gym at Crossville Elementary School in Crossville, Ala. Despite being in an almost all-white town, the school's enrollment is about 65 percent Hispanic.
The department sent letters Monday to 39 school superintendents seeking lists that include the race and national origin of students, as well as whether English is their primary language. Justice department attorneys also are seeking the names of students who have withdrawn from school and the dates they left.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The U.S. Justice Department is requesting that school districts in Alabama turn over enrollment information about all of their students as part of a federal lawsuit challenging the state's tough new immigration law.
The Obama administration is concerned that the law enacted by Alabama's GOP-controlled legislature this year may chill student participation. The agency wants the information to determine if further action is warranted.
Justice Department spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said the letter went to districts with significant Hispanic populations. Alabama has 132 school districts.
State Sen. Scott Beason, a Gardendale Republican who sponsored the law, said the Justice Department's letter shows the importance of compiling information. "They are asking for the same student information we tried to get. They are proving our point," he said.
Federal courts have put on hold
The Justice Department's letter reminds school superintendents that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that schools may not deny a student access based on immigration status and that the Justice Department enforces civil rights laws.
a portion of Alabama's law that requires schools to report the number, but not the names, of students whose immigration status is in question.
Beason said the Alabama law only sought statistics and did not deny enrollment to any illegal immigrant.
Michael Sibley, spokesman for the state Department of Education, said the Justice Department went directly to city and county superintendents rather than going through the department. He said he's not aware of the Justice Department ever seeking lists of students' names before in Alabama.

Anita Eichmann, a junior from Essen, Germany, was practicing the piano when the lights went out.
"I was really shocked," she said.
"I used my phone to light my way upstairs."
In Templin Hall, Lewis Hall, Hashinger Hall, Ellsworth Hall and McCollum Hall, students gathered in hallways and stairwells, where emergency lights were still on. They swapped stories and played cards, wondering about the cause of the power outage. Some students in Hashinger took their musical instruments to the lobby for an acoustic jam session.
"I was studying in the Templin study room and the lights
flickered and I was like "I don't like this,"" Dante Mesa, a freshman from Darden City, said, as friends laughed around him.
"I played a prank on Dante," Lia Palazzo, a freshman from Denver, said. "It was the perfect

While some students made a social event of the outage, it was inconvenient for others.
Macy Colson, a sophomore from Wichita, saw her homework go up in digital smoke.
"I was working on two excel spreadsheets for my 9 a.m. accounting class when the power went out and I didn't save them," Colson said. "Now I have to go to the library tomorrow morning because I'll still need to print it."
Lauren Brown, a junior from Lenexa, was visiting a friend at Chi Omega Wednesday evening. She went home after the outage.
"Now I'm back at Gamma Phi Beta and we're all sitting here, still trying to decide what to do," Brown said. "Which will most likely be Taco Bell."
As of press time, 12:45 a.m. power was still in the process of being restored to the residence halls and West Campus Road.

CAMPUS
KU recycling sorts all bins regardless of bin labeling
BRITTANY CLAMPITT bclampitt@kansan.com
The various bins dotting campus contain the usual recyclables: office pak, cardboard, newspaper, aluminum and plastic. Even if these materials are sorted and separated into their designated receptacles, a considerable amount of waste still needs disposal and could be recycled.
KU Recycling, which is responsible for the bins on campus, will accept different recyclable items in those bins in addition to those for which the bins are labeled.
"We sort everything as it is. It makes our lives easier if stuff is presorted," said Aileen Dingus, the program coordinator for the Environmental Stewardship Program, in a phone interview. "But if you have something kind of random, like bubble wrap, you can put it in the office pack — a
regular paper bin — we will pull that out anwav."
In addition to bubble wrap, Dingus said packing peanuts, hard and soft covered books, magazines, spiral bound notebooks and ink cartridges are acceptable receivables.
According to the KU Recycling website, the program has set up bins topped with green lids for used cartridges and toner in the on-campus residence and university buildings. In a partnership with Cartridge King of Kansas, which handles the used cartridges, KU Recycling is working to make this type of recycling more accessible to students.
Students who live off campus have recycling options through the University as well. A recycling trailer is available at the west Park and Ride Lot off Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive. The trailer accepts the same items as the on-
campus bins.
For items that need special disposal, but cannot be thrown in the trash or easily recycled, the City of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling offers waste disposal. These include everything from rechargeable batteries, household chemicals and fluorescent light bulbs.
Tom Hogan, waste reduction and recycling specialist for Lawrence Public Works said the recycling services are available to all Douglas County residents. Disposal is arranged by calling the Waste Reduction and Recycling Division at 785-832-3030. The address for the drop-off location is given upon appointment.

NIRVANA AT KU - 80TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMMERATIVE PORTER
Kurt Cobain walks up to the microphone, mumbles a few words and then begins playing a cover of a Vaselines song. Drummer Dave Grohl beats on the drums and whips his hair while bassist Krist Novoselic jumps around the stage barefoot. The crowd screams for Nirvana, which had recently released Nevermind and started its journey toward stardom.
It's a scene from the opening of the concert film "Nirvana: Live at the Paramount," screened last night at the Kansas Union, but it probably bears a striking resemblance to the performance the band gave in the Kansas Union Ballroom on Oct. 17, 1991, less than two weeks before the film was shot.
Brad Roosa, a KU alumnus and the Student Union Activities live music chair in 1991, heard an advanced copy of Nirvana's breakout album, Vermerkm, on a trip to Los Angeles and became obsessed with bringing the band to the University of Kansas.
SUA handed out a commemorative Nirvana poster made to look like the original promotional poster from 1991.
"There was no basis and logic for booking them at the ballroom and spending this money," Roosa said, but he eventually convinced both SUA and the band's manager that the show was a good idea.
CONTRIBUTED BY SUA
At the time, Nirvana was still a fledgling alternative band touring in a beat-up van, but that was about to change with the release of Nevermind.
"Everything was changing in music," Roosa said. "They were literally rewiring history books with this record."
"I remember they got up there and the place just went nuts," he said. "You could feel the floor giving, moving from people poguing just jumping up and down," he added.
Nirvana's sudden popularity coincided with their gig at the Union. Roosa recalls people trying to sneak backstage and into the sold-out show through hallways and road cases. The show itself was low key with very little banter or production; Cobain and company simply played song after song for 65 to 75 minutes, Roosa said.
More than 20 years later, Nirvana still has a big following at the University, even if not all the fans were born when the band played.
"I really love Nirvana and the grunge music scene," said Nathankiel Abeita, a freshman from Hiawata who wasn't born until 1992. Abeita said that he couldn't believe the iconic band had played at the Union and wondered if his dad, the person who introduced him to Nirvana's music, saw them play at that show.
Nirvana also played at the Bottleneck and the Outhouse before it became a strip club.
Andrea Acosta, a sophomore
from Paraguay, South America, was drawn to the screening primarily to get one of the commemorative posters that SUA handed out, which were made to look like the 1991 posters used to promote the show. But seeing one of her favorite bands play on a big screen was also appealing.
"This is like a dream come true. It's the closest to an actual concert of Nirvana." Acosta said.
But for Roosa, nothing can match the experience of seeing the band at such a pivotal point in its career.
"It was lightning in a bottle," he said.

Actors hit Washington D.C.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
DETROIT — Kal Penn's break from acting to work for the Obama administration garnered a lot of media attention. But the other half of the "Harold & Kumar" franchise, John Cho, has a cool White House connection, too.
The Korean-American actor took his father to the recent state dinner for the South Korean president. His dad was seated
right next to the podium where President Barack Obama made a toast and even clinked glasses with the leader of the free world.
For Cho, the evening was pretty much the ultimate in making a parent proud. "It would be tough to top that one," he says.
The same could be said for "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas," which opens Friday. The third movie in the stoner-buddy franchise takes on the holiday movie genre and aims for new
levels of comedic outrageousness. On a Spinal Tap scale, the R-rated humor sometimes reaches an 11 out of 10.
This time, the pot-smoking buddies last seen in 2008's "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" have grown apart. Harold has a nice corporate office, a nice home in the suburbs and a nice, gorgeous wife, while Kumar is unemployed, discouraged and living alone without his girlfriend.

Their most grown-up move, however, is to restructure their business, new millennium-style.

The two CDs are a compilation of classic hits, such as "End of the Road" and "I'll Make Love To You," plus 12 new songs, including the
PHILADELPHIA — Boyz II Men have always straddled two generations: Twenty years ago, the Grammy-winning teenage quartet crooned with the passion of old-school swooners. Dressed in urban-preppy ice-blue jeans and letter jackets, the young boys of R&B kept their sounds fresh with a new jack swing baseline.
These days Boyz II Men are a trio: Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris (no relation), and Shawn Stockman. (Former baritone Michael McCrary has been in a running dispute with the group.) They are the older cats in a cyber-driven industry dominated by electronic beats. They still sing love songs with voices like well-tuned instruments, but instead of infusing up-tempo tracks with hip-hop, the group is embracing technology: Think Boyz II Men Facebook page and app.
"We've made money, but we've never been able to possibly make this much," said Stockman, the group's tenor and a judge on NBC's a cappella reality show, "The Sing-Off."
Boyz II Men owns the rights to all of the new music, so after they pay for marketing and CD manufacture, they stand to make a pretty penny on this 10th album.

CULTURE
Generation Y deserves more credit
They call us Generation Y: the Facebook generation, the Millennials, the Brats, the Super Annoying. They think we have an irrational sense of entitlement, are in need of constant positive reinforcement, are blunt, impatient, and, for us, "reading a book" only happens when ADHD meds are constantly pumped in our veins. These perceptions are unfortunate, but I chalk it up to little more than the age old "kids these days" mentality.
Every generation since the dawn of time has thought the world is going to hell once the kids take over, and every generation has been made to look a fool because of the thought. Adam once said, "I love Abel, but Cain just sits in
By Jarod Kilgore
jkilgore@kansan.com
his room and plays 'Grand Theft Auto' all day long. Are we sure he's even ours?" And, OK, Cain turned out to symbolize envy and evil, but usually these conceptions are merely an older generation's fear of what they are leaving behind.
or anything else insinuating that I had merely just walked out of my mother's womb, then I will have to grab his face and point it in the direction of the Internet. My generation may come with a sense of entitlement more annoying than those before, but because of the Internet we are more aware of what came before than earlier generations realize or give us credit for.
If another 45-year-old acts as if I have never heard of "Star Wars"
The most troubling part is not that the past generations look upon us negatively, as that should be expected, but that our generation seems to do the same thing. Too often I hear my classmates deride their own generation as if we don't think we can sit through a YouTube video longer than five minutes.
I agree we do look for near constant stimulation, but in no way do I see that as a bad thing. A shorter attention span is just the way we adjusted to our world — it is an adaptive quality, not a fault. The world throws more at us than ever before, and we have to be able to process information quicker. A short attention span may be a difference between our generation and those that came before, but it isn't going to destroy the country, like some fear. We are not dogs; we are not going to see a squirrel climbing a tree and lose sight of the Bill of Rights.
We should acknowledge and respect earlier generations, because we are in this position because of them, while also respecting our
own generation. We tend to be "blunt," but this could just as easily be seen as "authentic and candid." Our need for constant stimulation doesn't need to mean we sit in front of the TV while playing Words With Friends on our phone, but that we are also often working and improving our self. Maybe in 50 years everyone in the U.S. will be on Ritalin while impatiently tapping our fingers because the Wendy's teleport machine (here's hoping) is taking too long, but that is not going to hurt the world.

November a revelry of manhood
Every boy grows up wanting to be a man. Hearing stories about men like the mighty Paul Bunyan who made the Grand Canyon by dragging his ax along the ground, or of the great John Henry who died beating the steam-powered hammer in a contest, inspired us to reach greatness. Boys couldn't imagine anything cooler than becoming a legend. Truth is, most of us will never rise to that occasion.
But we can still grow totally awesome beards.
No Shave November is the epitome of what it means to be a man. There is nothing more fulfilling in life than to walk right past that razor and know it will not be touched again for

another thirty days. That patchy peach fuzz you have now will soon be a fierce, half-inch forest of cat whiskers, signifying so much more than just looking like a hungry hobo; it's your fight against The Man. Yes, the same man that tried to prevent Paul Bunyan from flipping flapjacks on Tuesdays and Fridays. The same man that told Pecos Bill he should look into icing his trigger finger for fear he could have long-term arthritis. The same man that likes to actually talk to girls and keep his face soft and smooth like a baby's bottom. You
know what us real men say to you?
You will never know what your B.O. actually smells like.
For the next four weeks we will retrace the steps of our ancestors. We plan on living off the land of McDonald's and Taco Bell while sleeping in the damp, dark caves we now call "climate controlled dorms." We refuse to shower because, like our ancestors, we are too focused on surviving in this dog-eat-dog world where one wrong step could cost you that meal plan your mom pays for. We will buy plaid shirts and call them flannel because we are men and do not care that flannel is a fabric while plaid is a pattern. For all we know, T-bone steaks
are the breakfast of champions,
and vegetables are for livestock
Ladies, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking it's going to be a long time before you can kiss your man without getting rashes or leftover crumbs from his beard. You're probably also thinking that it is going to be a while before we stop smelling like beef and cheese and start actually doing something productive with our lives, like obtain these things people call "jobs." Truth is, if you're dating a guy that uses a month as an excuse to no longer maintain his personal hygiene, then we aren't the ones with the problem. Men don't even have problems; they are perfection. Just like their pubescent facial hair.
In summation, one can draw two conclusions about No Shave November. First, this holiday can be celebrated by honoring the great founders of this beard nation: Jeremiah Johnson, Honest Abe, and of course, Chuck Norris. Second, anybody absurd enough to state that No Shave November is another holiday for the couch potatoes out there is clearly a "momma's boy," while at the same time are most likely going to be your boss one day. So to you true men out there, sport those beards proudly.

Nail biter ends in a loss to rival Missouri
KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 5 8
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree blocks a shot from Missouri freshman middle blocker Whitney Little during the first set of the match. Though Tolefree had four blocks and 14 kills, Kansas lost to Missouri with set scores of 24-26, 25-23, 23-25, and 25-19.
MATT GALLOWAY

The volleyball team lost another game on Wednesday night, this time to rival Mountai at home. Despite the loss, the Jayhawks had one of their best games in conference play.
There is only one problem: Junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree wants nothing to do with moral victories.
"The NCAA doesn't necessarily look at moral victories," Tolefree said. "You learn from them, and sometime down the road you can look back and see what the value was. But at some point we want a real one."
The Jayhawks (13-11, 1-10) dropped the first two sets against the Tigers (19-9, 5-6) by the slimest margin possible, losing the game in four sets, 26-24, 25-23, 23-25, 25-19.
There were eight ties in each of the first two sets, but the Jayhawks were unable to capitalize on late opportunities. With the score all tied up at 24 in the first, Kansas freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton committed back-toback attack errors that gave the victory to the Tigers. Not a single Jayhawk finished with a negative attack percentage, and the team continued its recent trend of outblocking the opposition.
Coach Ray Bechard said the team has not quit on him but added that effort is something he expects. It is execution, he said, that the team has to work on.
"If it's November and you're playing Missouri, and you're fighting to keep your nose above water, the effort sure as heck better be there," Bechard said. "And that effort has
got to turn into execution."
The Jayhawks rebounded to take the third consecutive two-point set in the third, capitalizing on a 'Tole-free kill and a Tiger error to win 25-23. But Missouri stormed out to an 8-2 lead in the fourth, and a kill by Missouri senior middle blocker Brittney Brimmage finished off Kansas.
Tolefree was arguably the most dominant player on the court, finishing with 14 kills and five blocks. She said her team wasted all the good vibes they gained in the third set early in the fourth.
"The momentum only stays if you keep making plays," Tolefree said. "A few points here and there switches it fast."
Perhaps the highlight of the night for the Jayhawks was a full-sprint, off-the-wall save in by sophomore defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu in the second set, but even that point would eventually go to the Tigers.
"Everyone is in it to win it, so we're always giving it our all," Mathieu said. "When we don't come out with a win, it's just tough."
Bechard tried to stop the bleeding in the fourth by inserting sophomore outside hitter Catherine Carmichael, who promptly recorded a kill. The Jayhawks made the fourth set interesting late, but Bechard's roster shake ups failed to keep the pressure on the Tigers. The coach admitted after the game that he is starting to get frustrated.
"Very, to say the least," Bechard said. "We've tried most of our bench, and we've got capable players. It wasn't a matter of what we were doing offensively those first two games. We just didn't stop them enough."

CROSS COUNTRY
@
BOB GOLEN JR.
editor@kansan.com
Excuses come easily in the face of adversity. After losing senior Donny Wasinger to a torn Achilles tendon, the cross country team could have demonstrated this saving.
Team perseveres despite loss of captain, lead runner
Despite the fact that Wasinger was a team captain and coming off his third consecutive year as the team's leading runner, the Jayhawks refused to be stalled by this early season obstacle.
"Certainly we weren't happy about it," assistant coach Michael
Whittlesey said, "But I think the team really galvanized."
Senior Austin Bussing assumed the role of the vocal leader of a team that has great depth. The Jayhawks had three team top finishers in five meets this season, including Bussing and junior Zach Zarda twice and freshman James Wilson once. Junior Josh Baden, sophomore Josh Munsch and freshman Reid Buchanan have also been major contributors.
While recovering, Wasinger supports his teammates as his physical health permitted. Not being able
to contribute competitively, he has been a constant source of encouragement to his teammates.
"I know that's not an easy thing to do, so I think he deserves a lot of credit for that," Bussing said about his long-time teammate and friend Wasinger.
The loss of their unquestioned top runner meant the Jayhawks' identity required adjustment.
"When you don't have a bullet in Donny, who is going to be a single digit scoreer or a low scorer for you, you have to be tight from one to five," coach Whittlesey said.
This tough-running pack concept represents a significant shift in the cross country mindset. Bussing said the in-race strategy is to see how closely the team can run together and how far it can move up as a unit, rather than just a group of individuals. The team requires continuous mutual support from everyone. Gone are the days of relying on one runner to carry the load.
Wasinger found the shift encouraging.
"In the past, if it were me and a group of guys, I would take off
1. 如图所示，
and everyone would just kind of say 'there goes Donny, he's faster,' and nobody would really go after it," Wasinger said. "But this year if one guy goes, six guys are chasing after him. People are getting up there where I was and ahead of where I was because everyone is competing."
To veterans like Bussing and Wasinger, the program's progress is attributable to the runners buying into what the coaching staff is selling. While crediting the coaches for their leadership, Wasinger said the four-year runners have
contributed to the team's attitude toward workouts and practices. The runners come to practice with the mindset of doing whatever it takes to get better. Bussing's greatest personal desire is to be at least partially responsible for turning the program around and getting back on the national scene.
"That would be huge for me," Bussing said.

Contenders for basketball national title
MORNING BREW
The last two years, the Jayhawks have entered the college basketball season as one of the favorites to win the national title. Though Kansas is ranked No.13 in both polls, these three teams have the best chance at cutting down the nets in New Orleans.
NORTH CAROLINA
Yes, I know that some Kansas fans still have ill feelings toward UNC coach Roy Williams, but Williams' departure ended up working out pretty well for both sides. Williams and the North Carolina faithful have a lot to be excited about entering the season.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
The Tar Heels received 62 of the 65 first place votes in the coaches' poll and are returning National Player of the Year favorite sophomore forward Harrison Barnes. Anything short of a title for North Carolina will go down as major disappointment in Chapel Hill. North Carolina's
only competition on paper in the ACC is archrival Duke, and all eyes will be on the Tar Heels' Dec. 3 matchup with No.2 Kentucky.
Speaking of Kentucky, coach John Calipari will welcome another immensely talented recruiting class to Lexington,
KENTUCKY
Ky., as well as returning key players from the previous season. Sophomore guard Doron Lamb and NBA prospect Terrence Jones will provide arguably Calipari's best Kentucky team with some much-needed experience.
Headlining Calipari's NBA point guard pipeline is freshman Marquis Teague, brother of the Atlanta Hawk's Jeff Teague. Last season, Brandon Knight was more of a calm, collected point guard, but fans can expect Teague to bring back a similar athleticism and swagger to that of John Wall. The Jayhawks will get a firsthand look at the second-ranked Wildcats on Nov. 12 in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden.
OHIO STATE
The Buckeyes enter the season ranked third and as the overwhelming favorite to win the Big 10 title. Coach Thad Matta and the Buckeyes had a terrific season
last year, finishing with a 34-3 record. With the return of sophomore center Jared Sullinger and senior guard William Buford, Ohio State should be right back where they left off last season; contending for titles.
Despite returning a strong nucleus of talent from last season, the Buckeyes are an extremely young team, consisting of five freshmen and six sophomores. The inexperienced Buckeye squad could struggle some before hitting its stride come conference play. The Buckeyes do have a challenging non-conference schedule that will build experience in the long haul. Ohio State will host No. 6 Duke in November before making its way to Lawrence to take on the Jayhawks in December.

Time for Zenger to recruit a coach
there are things about Kansas football that most fans have some
Nissan football that most fans have come to terms with: When you play Texas schools and the majority of your recruiting is done in Texas, you'll never beat out Texas or Oklahoma for a recruit and you'll be in a dogfight with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech as well. So while Mack Brown can bring five-star recruits to the University of Texas, the coaching staff on the sidelines of Memorial Stadium are figuring out how their three-star cornerback is going to stop that wide receiver who's on the fast track to playing on Sundays. That's just the way it is.
At some point this season it became clear that Turner Gill and his staff don't know how that 3-star kid can stop that future NFL player, or at least slow him down. And as Kansas State dismantled the Jayhawks the last two years with the combined score of 118-28, this showed that going toe-to-toe with a great coach and a similarly talented team would end in ugly losses for Gill.
— Edited by Lindsey Deiter
Fortunately, athletic director Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job. And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State. Zenger knows football. In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there, Zenger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of thatorrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.
It's like what golf fans say about tournaments—you can't win the whole thing on the first day, but you sure can lose it. Gill wasn't going to turn Kansas football into Big 12 champions in two years, and most of us knew that. But at what point does a 43 point shutout by Texas in a six-game losing streak become something bigger than a young coach trying to elevate his program? The lack of any shadow of success has gotten so dark that if the opposing team doesn't set some sort of school record against the Jayhawks, it's seen as a success by Kansas fans.

Junior guard Angel Goodrich tries to keep possession of the ball from opponent senior guard Heather Robben of Emporia State. The Jav Hawks won the game. 83-61

KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Junior guard Angel Goodrich took the Jayhawks' first game of the season into her own hands from the beginning. She scored eight of the first nine points, grabbed a steal and drew a foul.
Goodrich continued in similar form, finishing the game with 16 points and four assists. She hit two early three-pointers and shot six of 11 from the field. Goodrich said she leads by example and hopes the others follow.
"I am looking to do what's best for the team," Goodrich said. "Team first!" — that's our motto.
Goodrich and the other older players controlled the first 10 minutes of the game, giving the younger players a cushion to work under when they subbed into the game.
Junior forward Carolyn Davis had a similar start, shooting five of six from the field for 12 points in the first half.
"I always say it starts with us," Davis said. "We have got to set the tempo and show the freshman what kind of game we are gonna play. We set the tone early and our freshmen knew they had to stick to that."
Balanced scoring from Jayhawk veterans led the Jayhawks to an 83-61 victory against Emporia
State in their first exhibition game. Goodrich led the team in scoring followed by Davis, who added 14 points.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson is looking for consistency on defense this season and two slips by the Jayhawks had her hesitant to praise the team's success: penetration in the middle of the lane and effort on the defensive glass.
Emporia State only scored 24 points in the paint compared to 50 from Kansas, but Henrickson said that moving forward, the team needs more of a defensive presence.
The Jayhawks worked into a successful rotation with all five freshmen seeing time on the court and all but one player scoring. However, one familiar face was missing on the court as Keena Mays sat out. Mays started all 34 games for the Jayhawks last season, but Henrickson sat her out of the game.
be a consistent presence for the Jayhawks.
Knight started the game and stayed in for 23 minutes. Though Knight did not score, she led Kansas with five assists as she took turns working the point.
"She needs to compete everyday," Henrickson said. "That was a little message from me and she understands that. There should be no reason for her to not get back in the rotation and do what she can do for us, but this will always be team first. It has to be."
Freshman guard Natalie Knight earned her first start in the game in front of family and friends from Olathe. She showed her ability to
"She makes the right passes; She doesn't take bad shots," Henrickson said. "She normally hits open shots, but she has been consistent, and for a young kid that is hard to do at that position."
The Jayhawks will continue exhibition play against Pittsburg State at 2 p.m. Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

After late rally, season ends in penalty kicks

After exerting themselves for 110 minutes, Kansas' soccer season came down to five shots in penalty kicks.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, the Aggies were too much in the penalty kick round as they defeated Kansas 5-3 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio last night. At the end of regulation the score was tied at 3-3.
Attempting to stay poised in a stressful situation like this is key for the Jayhawks.
"I think you just have to keep it together and when something like that happens you need to be confident," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said.
Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal was stopped in the fourth round of penalty kicks, putting the game out of reach. However, many factors led to the result coming down to penalty kicks.

The jayhawks eventually were down 3-2, but when all hope seemed lost, the jayhawks made one final charge before time
Kastor said Vidal made a great kick and that the ball just deflected into the net.
After several solid attempts, junior forward Whitney Berry finally broke through with a goal in the 35th minute, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead. The strike was her eighth of the season. The assist on the play was from junior midfielder Shelby Williams.

The ball bounced around in front of the goal where sophomore forward Caroline Kastor knocked it home with three seconds left.
Kansas was the aggressor for most the first half, pushing the tempo on Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks continued to put out an aggressive defensive effort, only allowing six shots and one goal shot for the Aggies in the first half.
Kelley Monogue, a freshman from Texas A&M, then lined up for the penalty kick and striped a ball into the right corner of the goal. However, Kansas freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud grasped the ball before it could touch the end line.
The Aggies came out in the second half with a purpose, and eventually drew a hand ball in the box when it accidently hit a Jayhawk defender's hand.

Freshman defender Caroline Van Stambrouck covers her face in disappointment after a foul against Missouri that would lead to a penalty kick. Last night, the Jayhawks lost the game to penalty kicks in the final moments.
In the 75th minute, Texas A&M tacked on another goal when Annie Kunz found a ball near the net, tying the game.
After stretching the lead to two, the Aggies came back with three goals of their own in less than five minutes.
Kansas continued to find its spots in the defense. In the 73rd minute Kansas found an opening when Fletcher crossed a ball to Liana Salazar. She then struck another shot that deflected off Aggie defenders into the net.
The Aggies then went on and scored for the third time when Big 12 scoring leader Monogue made a goal in the 79th minute.
"They scored three really good goals," Francis said. "They'd been attacking us out wide all day and we did a great job defending it, but we didn't on those three occasions."
The first came in the 74th minute when Allie Bailey completed a cross to Merritt Mathias, putting the Aggies on the scoreboard.
In the second half the wind also began to blow violently against the Jayhawks, but the team realized that was nothing they could control.

Francis said it was a little factor that allowed the Aggies keep the pressure on the Jayhawks end of the soccer field.
Now the Jayhawks hope the effort on Wednesday will be good enough for them to get an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.

accidents on K-10 have killed 11 people, according to statistics from KDOT. Of the 11 fatalities, eight occurred at locations where KDOT plans to put in the cable barriers, said Kimberly Qualls, the Northeast Kansas public affairs manager for KDOT.
Qualls said that the $800,000 project will install cable barriers two miles east of Eudora, and two miles along the Kansas Highway 7 interchange in Johnson County. KDOT will finance the project, which is expected to begin next summer.
"The installation of the cable median barriers at these two sections is to alleviate vehicles — hopefully — from crossing over the median," she said.
Following the double-fatality accident last April, Scott Hopson, the Mayor of Eudora, wrote Gov. Sam
Brownback asking for improved safety measures on the highway.
Hopson said that he and other citizens of Douglas and Johnson Counties initially asked the state to install cable barriers along the entire stretch of K-10. However, the group scaled backed their request after KDOT recommended a more economically feasible plan.
Hopson said that he was pleased with the state's choice to provide the
cable barriers along the highway.

Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job.And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Zenger knows football.In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there,Zenger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino,and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach.That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from.Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of that horrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.

EDITOR'S NOTE
I am a student of the University of Minnesota. I am a freshman and I am a student of the University of Minnesota. I am a freshman and I am a student of the University of Minnesota.
There are two types of people on this campus: those who hate group projects with a deep, unshakable passion and those who don't seem to mind them.
We've all done it (yes, even me, unfortunately). You and your group make plans after class to meet up at good of' Watson Library at 8 p.m. later that night.
If you guessed that I'm one of those people who can't stand when a teacher says "OK, everyone get into groups," then you're exactly right. I've always been pretty independent and that includes when it comes to schoolwork.
But 7:30 p.m. rolls around, and you're cozied up on the couch ready to have a
"Breaking Bad" marathon with your roommate and dragging yourself to campus is the furthest thing from your mind. And thus, you do what so many ex-group members have done to me: you send a text saying you're "so sorry" that you can't make it and you're just too busy.
Don't get me wrong, I've worked on a few class projects with some great people. But my deep hatred for working with others lies in the fact that these types of situations give students the perfect opportunity to lie.
f
t
The worst part of these excuses is that they're never given to me face-to-face; they're always done electronically, either via email, text or a Facebook message. A recent study reveals that by using technology, those telling the lie assume they're softening the blow. But some students agree that lying, no matter how it's done, is never OK. For more on how lying through technology affects our social interactions, check out Katie's story on page eight.
At the end of the day, just remember what your mother always told you:honesty (no matter how comfortable you are on your couch) is the best policy.

JERRY DEPIZZO
> Saxophonist for O.A.R.
1. Sugar-free Red Bull. My blood is one part Red Bull to two parts hemoglobin.
2. Normally I would say a pack of smokes, but I've been off them for about two weeks. Wait, shit, five minutes now.
3. Shower shoes. If you've seen the places a traveling musician has to shower, let's say you'd go pick up a pair of knock-off Crocs.
T. W. BURNS
Entenmann's Little Bites (small, bite-size muffins or brownies). They're unbelievably delicious. They would be less addictive if they were made out of pure heroin. I'm not sure there is even a natural ingredient in them.
What are three things you can't live without?
The movie has been made. It's called "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2." The character of Finkleman was based off of me.
CHRISTINE CURTIN
ANDY KREIGH
> Senior from Lawrence, KS
What's the worst food you've ever had?
1. My iPod. If you know me, I'm all about music. There's a lot of O.A.R on it, might I say. 2. Shoes because I like to have my feet comfortable. 3. My friends because I love them.
I would like to be the Dwayne Johnson version of the Tooth Fairy so that I could turn back into Dwayne Johnson, unretire from wrestling, and give the People's Elbow (a wrestling move) to John Cena.
I'm sorry to offend any vegetarian, but tofu just kills me. The texture of tofu just doesn't work with me.
I'd probably attempt to sing Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude." As soon as I started singing, Randy Jackson would most likely leap on stage and punch me in the throat. I would then bust into some DJ Kool.
What would the movie title be for the story of your life?
Who would you rather be: Santa, the Toothfairy, or the Easter Bunny?
Well, we actually made a movie about my life in junior high called "The Pathetic Life of Andy Kriegh," I was bullied throughout the film and got caught singing a Jesse McCartney song while crying in my room. But now it would have to be just called "Swag."
If you were on "American Idol," what song would you sing?
Probably the Easter Bunny because who doesn't like endless amounts of chocolate and Peeps?
I'd have to go with the all-time classic and my personal favorite, "Stanky Leg" by the GS Boyz. The dance would of course be accompanied with it.

KANSAS IN HEAT // STRAPPING IN
> Tackling the sticky world of relationships.
KJHK CALLER ASKS:
Last night, my girlfriend and I used a strapon for the first time. After climaxing (which was intense), I noticed a large wet spot on the sheets. She told me I had ejaculated, but I want to make sure it isn't something else (like urine).
MICHELLE ANSWERS:
Research suggests female ejaculation occurs in all women. However, not all women secrete the vaginal fluid associated with ejaculation. The Skene's gland, located inside the vaginal wall and considered to be the "female prostate," produces the fluid associated with female ejaculation. When a woman climaxes and does not ejaculate, the process that occurs is similar to the male dry ejaculation. As the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles contract with orgasm, the fluid is pushed internally and reabsorbed into the body, often into the bladder. Studies monitoring the prostate specific androgen (PSA) levels (produced by the Skene's gland as well as the prostate) in women resulted in the following: PSA was not detected in the urine of women who ejaculated during orgasm, but PSA was detected in the urine of women who did not ejaculate during orgasm. A retrograde, or dry, ejaculation is not harmful for women, but can be harmful for men. A chronic recurrence of dry ejaculation in men should warrant a visit to the doctor.
I would argue the fluid you discovered after orgasm was the result of a female ejaculation, not urination. Lucky for you, women who ejaculate during orgasm report more intense and pleasurable orgasms. Perhaps this ejaculation resulted from the introduction of a strapon toy. Keep using it and see if you can repeat this experience. Try the same on your girlfriend
and have fun with new positions. For those of you who would like to experience this kind of orgasm, instead of contracting inward your PC muscles during orgasm, focus on a release and extension of those muscles. Enjoy the experiences that come with your sexual exploration.

> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
HOW WE MET // ADAM RANKIN & BETH NEWTON
You can get more than groceries from Alco, a Dollar General-type store in Hutchinson. At least alumnus Adam Rankin and senior Beth Newton can say that. The two met while working at the store during high school, though they attended different schools.
Beth, a senior at the time, always thought that Adam, then a junior, was shy and geeky, but really cute. With the help of mutual friends, she got the chance to talk to him at the Alco Christmas party. "I wasn't going to go, but a friend convinced me to take her," Adam says. "I called her two hours before."
Beth, of course, accepted the invitation. The night was awkward and full of small talk, but for Beth, it was much more. "I was over the moon excited to be with him," she says.
After the party, the two started hanging out. A usual weekend entailed watching "Saturday Night Live" in Beth's parents' basement while eating Swedish Fish. The relationship lasted after Beth graduated and went to junior college. But after Adam graduated the next year and started attending KU in 2004, the relationship ended.
They reconnected in 2008 when Beth enrolled at KU. On a whim, they decided to move in together since Beth didn't have a place to live. Beth moved in with Adam in January of 2009. They continued where they left off — with "Saturday Night Live" and Swedish Fish.
On New Year's Eve, Adam proposed to Beth. The two started 2010 engaged and will go into 2012 married. Adam and Beth's wedding is on Nov. 5th at Danforth Chapel on the University's campus.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS //
> If you're going to do it, be smart. NOT USING A TOOTHBRUSH
Photo by Kylie Nutt
Brush Up: Using your finger or eating foods,
such as celery and apples, helps remove plaque
and freshens your breath.
Photo by Kylie Nutt
When John Myers was running late for an interview, he forgot to brush his teeth. Myers, a senior from Topeka, needed a way to clean his teeth and freshen his breath. "I grabbed a pack of minty gum from the Koch Commons (a lobby in Summerfield) and had a piece," he says.
Chowing a piece of gum isn't the only or best way to clean your teeth. Justin Anderson, a dentist at Wilkerson, Saunders and Anderson in Lawrence, says almost anything you eat creates some type of plaque. The sticky, colorless deposit of bacteria is constantly forming on the tooth's surface. This is why it
is important to brush your teeth two to three times a day, especially after meals.
Carrying a toothbrush with you on campus is the best way to keep plaque from building up, but there are alternatives, Anderson says. "Celery might be something you can brush your teeth with if you crunch on the end of the celery and soften the ends making it brush like," he says. Celery is a good option because it's made almost entirely of water.
Celery is similar to the original toothbrush too. Thousands of years ago it was believed that cavemen used sticks to brush their teeth. "If you can imagine taking a kind of soft branch of a tree and chewing the end of it until it was just a bunch of little fibers, and then using that to brush your teeth," Anderson says.
Apples can help too because they're fibrous, so when the apples rub against your teeth they remove some of the plaque. But, since apples contain sugar and bacteria eat sugar, they are not ideal.
Putting toothpaste on your finger and rubbing your teeth with it, or rubbing a piece of gauze or cloth on your teeth, works well too.

You know the guy you see around campus wearing a shirt or holding a sign that says, "Free hugs?" They follow people up and down the sidewalk, arms stretched out wide, inviting anyone in for an embrace—a quick gesture that many would rather replace with a simple handshake.
GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU// HUGGING > Sometimes it's hard to tell.
It turns out that these guys, the free-hug lovers, will likely have lower stress levels and better immune systems than many of the casual handshakers. It may sound like a hippie mentality, but studies prove the benefits of touch. The University of Miami opened up the Touch Research Institute in which director Tiffany Field researches the benefits of human touch. "Hugs stimulate the pressure receptors under the skin which release built-up stress hormones," Field says. Because stress hormones kill your immune cells, hugging is a good way to keep your cells healthy.
Hugging doesn't mean that you have to sport a tie-dye t-shirt. Tell your friends that you're lowering your stress when they make fun of you for hugging a room full of people at a party.
While some may raise their eyebrows at huggers, Elizabeth Boresow, a senior from Leawood, doesn't have a problem with it. In fact, she prefers to hug. "Hugs are a more active way I can show someone I care about them. Handshakes are short, and that's not as fun or meaningful," she says.
Verdict: Good for you. Hug away.

Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job. And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Zenger knows football. In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there, Zenger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of that horrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.

in the penalty kick round as they defeated Kansas 5-3 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio last night. At the end of regulation the score was tied at 3-3.
"I think you just have to keep it together and when something like that happens you need to be confident," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said.
Attempting to stay poised in a stressful situation like this is key for the Jayhawks.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said it was frustrating for the match to come down to penalty kicks because the team should have won the game when they had a 2-0 advantage.
Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal was stopped in the fourth round of penalty kicks, putting the game out of reach. However, many factors led to the result coming down to penalty kicks.
The Jayhawks eventually were down 3-2, but when all hope seemed lost, the Jayhawks made one final charge before time
After several solid attempts, junior forward Whitney Berry finally broke through with a goal in the 35th minute, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead. The strike was her eighth of the season. The assist on the play was from junior midfielder Shelby Williamson.
Kansas was the aggressor for most the first half, pushing the tempo on Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks continued to put out an aggressive defensive effort, only allowing six shots and one goal shot for the Aggies in the first half.
The Aggies came out in the second half with a purpose, and eventually drew a hand ball in the box when it accidently hit a Jayhawk defender's hand.
Kelley Monogue, a freshman from Texas A&M, then lined up for the penalty kick and striped a ball into the right corner of the goal. However, Kansas freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud grasped the ball before it could touch the end line.

In the 75th minute, Texas A&M tacked on another goal when Annie Kunz found a ball near the net, tying the game.
Freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouck covers her face in disappointment after a foul against Missouri that would lead to a penalty kick. Last night, the Jayhaws lost the game to penalty kicks in the final moments.
The first came in the 74th minute when Allie Bailey completed a cross to Merritt Mathias, putting the Aggs on the scoreboard.

The Aggies then went on and scored for the third time when Big 12 scoring leader Monogue made a goal in the 79th minute.

"They scored three really good goals," Francis said. "They'd been attacking us out wide all day and we did a great job defending it, but we didn't on those three occasions."
goals of their own in less than five minutes.
!
In the second half the wind also began to blow violently against the Jayhawks, but the team realized that was nothing they could control.
Francis said it was a little factor that allowed the Aggies keep the pressure on the Jayhawks end of the soccer field.

Now the Jayhawks hope the effort on Wednesday will be good enough for them to get an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.
"I think we just try to keep our heads up," Kastor said. "This team
deserves to go to the NCAA. I'm hoping we're going to keep playing."

Finding the right bacteria
Not all probiotics are created equal.
CHRISTY NUTT

Better Bacteria: Probiotics help boost your body's native bacterial species to maintain a healthy immune system
Photo illustration by Morgan LaFore
In a sterile culture of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes, it is difficult to think of bacteria as being good. But hundreds of bacterial species naturally live in the human body, and even help the body to digest, build a healthy immune system and prevent infection. When the native bacteria don't perform like they should, probiotics, live microorganisms that provide a health benefit, can assist in the functions the native bacteria typically perform.
Quinn Brabender, a senior form Lawrence, learned the benefits of probiotics when reoccurring staph infections his freshman year left him feeling groggy all of the time. Brabender took antibiotics to fight the infections. Soon after the antibiotics would heal one infection, another would begin. Brabender found himself taking antibiotics regularly to fight the infections. "I took antibiotics so often that I didn't allow my body to build up the good bacteria I needed for a healthy immune system," Brabender says.
He also started feeling ill. "I'd wake up after eight hours of sleep and be groggy. I just felt lethargic all the time," Brabender says.
Brabender's mother took him to a naturopathic doctor, where Brabender found
out he had food allergies he wasn't aware of. His doctor put him on a restrictive diet and recommended a high dose of probiotics supplements. After four weeks of taking probiotics and following the diet Brabender began to notice improvement in his sleep, digestion and even his mood. "It effected how I felt every day. I wasn't tired anymore and started being in a better mood," Brabender says.
Like in Brabender's case, many people take probiotics after using antibiotics because in the process of the antibiotics killing bad bacteria it also kills off the native good bacteria. But this is not the only time people feel the need to provide reinforcements to their native bacteria and supplements aren't the only form. In fact, there are many different forms and strains of good bacteria, but not all of the forms perform in the same way.
Probiotics can be most helpful after suffering from an illness such as food poisoning or stomach flu, which causes the body to lose native bacteria, says Lowen Millpaugh, assistant wellness manager at the Community Mercantile. The good bacteria is usually excreted from the body through diarrhea but can also be killed from use of antibiotics, Millpaugh says. Because the immune system and digestive system are closely related, probiotics can also
help with all over immunity and prevent common viruses and disease, Millspaugh says. Higher doses are typically more effective after extreme illness, antibiotics or persistent digestion problems, Millspaugh says.
Dosage is not the only variable to consider. "There are a lot of different strains of bacteria available. Each is particular to a specific age group or health benefit," Millspaugh says.
Millspaugh says it often takes a little experimenting to find the probiotics that works best with your body but doing research on the different strains and doses are also important. "It's all about taking your health into your own hands and doing the research," says Millspaugh.
Mary Ellen Sanders, an internationally recognized consultant on probiotic microbiology, says finding a probiotic that has been scientifically tested and proven to provide health benefits is important because the word "probiotics" is not legally defined or regulated. "Most people think the products containing higher amounts of probiotics are better, but choosing a tested probiotics is more important," says Sanders, the executive director of the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics. Because the word "probiotics" is not legally defined
manufacturers can use it liberally. The only FDA criteria that affect probiotic manufacturers is that labels must be truthful, but this is not closely regulated, says Sanders. "You really have to do some homework on the product to make sure it is backed with research," Sanders says.
Other than capsules, probiotics can be found in supplement drinks, such as kefir and in fermented foods, containing live cultures like yogurt, miso, sauerkraut and kombucha tea. Although some of these products have the scientific backing, not all do."Lots of foods that have live cultures are good for you, but the health benefits haven't always been scientifically proven," Sanders says. It's also important to understand that not all fermented foods contain the live cultures by the time they reach the supermarket.
When manufactures heat or pasteurize their fermented products, the live cultures die. Typically foods that contain live cultures will be found in the refrigerated section, and the labels will say live, raw cultures, Millspaugh says.
When it comes to a healthy immune system probiotics can often help, but it's not a complete answer. Millspaugh says you must also think about the food you eat, daily stress control and healthy sleep. "You can't just fix everything with a probiotics. You have to think about your body holistically."
( The Inside Scoop )
Choosing A Probiotic
Make sure your probiotic includes the following:
• Strain of microorganism used
• Recommended serving size
• Dose of live microorganisms in each serving measured in CFU (Colony Forming Units)
• Expiration date or best by date
• Health benefits associated with the probiotic
• Storage directions to help ensure the life span of the active probiotic
• Manufacturer contact information

Simple lies that manage our social interactions
KATIE JAMES]
It's nine o'clock on a Thursday and you're cozied up on the couch watching Jersey Shore when you receive a text from a friend saying, "Let's go to the bars! It could be fun, but what you really want to do is watch and see if Sammi and Ronnie are going to fight. How do you respond? You don't want to be judged for watching Jersey Shore. You also don't want to tell your friend you don't want to spend time with her. So you reply, "I have too much homework."
Technology makes it much easier for us to be connected at all times and in any location. This connectivity also means that we are more likely to have a conversation while we are on the go. "When using a text it's a lot easier to lie because you don't have to see the other person, you're just typing it in. If you've never met the person you're talking to technology can actually make it worse, their entire identity could be a lie," says Rob Dobrenski, psychologist and author of Crazy: Notes On and Off the Couch. Making sure we feel comfortable in a situation can be another reason to use a lie. "It is easier to lie in certain situations because we are designed to look out for ourselves first, and then the people around us," he says.
A 2010 study conducted at Cornell University in New York titled "On my way: Deceptive Texting and Interpersonal Awareness Narratives," classifies an excuse like the one above as a butler lie. A butler lie is told to manage the entry or exit of a social interaction without seeming rude or disinterested in the conversation. The term refers to the social buffering role that butlers once played for their employers, such as telling a visitor that their employer was not there, when the employer simply didn't want to see the visitor.
According to the study, butler lies have three main uses, all based on the fact that the person on the other end of the phone can't see exactly what you are doing. A common use of a butter lie deals with time; the sender never knows what the recipient of the message is doing at the present time, or what they will be doing in the future. These include things like "Sorry, I just got your text," or "I might go later, I'm not sure though," when the recipient actually got your text hours ago, or knows he or she has no intention of meeting later.
A second use for a butler lie plays upon the fact that the recipient is unsure of the sender's current availability to talk. These are most often used to delay a conversation, for example, "I'm eating right now, and can I call you later?"
The third, most common type of butler lies relies on location. These are used to excuse lateness, such as, "I'm on my way," when you actually haven't left.
The Cornell study found that the senders of butler lies used deception to make up believable stories about their activities and availability. People rarely just said they were busy; they also gave a reason for not being able to meet or interact. But if you tell a lot of lies people may start changing their opinions of you. "Once it happens enough you can be branded a liar, and that brand really doesn't go away. People will start making attributions to your character, and see you as untrustworthy," Dobrenski says.
conversation to using a text leads people to not feel guilty about bending the truth. This makes butler lies more common. Fear of coming off rude or mean to others often leads people to hide their true feelings about a situation. "I feel guilty about not telling the truth sometimes, but if it's an activity I really don't want to do, I don't feel bad about lying to get out of it," says Sarah*, a freshman from Wichita, who admits to using butler lies once in a while to get out of things. Texting allows you to avoid a confrontation in person, which lessens feelings of guilt. You aren't directly faced with the expression on the other person's face when you decline an invitation or tell them you've changed your mind about wanting to do something.
The feeling of separation from in-person
But though you might not feel bad about deceiving people, little lies still have an effect on the people they're told to. "Any secret, even a simple one can damage trust when it comes out. Without face-to-face confrontation, the liar feels much safer, less likely to be caught, and less likely to suffer if caught," says Tina B. Tessina, a psychotherapist, and author of Money, Sex, and Kids: Stop Fighting about the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage. It may be easier to get away with since the recipient can't tell what you're really doing, but it may come back around to harm you in the future. "Whether or not you will get caught is not the most mature way to evaluate behavior, but people often do it that way," Tessina says.
Once trust has been broken, it can be a hard thing to earn back. "I have a friend who constantly exaggerates things to the point where I can't tell what is the truth and what is a lie. He'll talk about how he goes to "epic" parties, but he doesn't actually go, and he never invites us to go with him," says Christian Busch, a senior from Sabetha. Lies cause the person on the receiving end to question your intentions, and if they want to interact with you. "If I find out someone has lied to me, it's hard for me to always believe them 100 percent. I usually think
back to that time and can't trust them fully," Busch says.
Figuring out what is the truth and what is a lie can be exhausting and can put a strain on friendships, as was the case for Mitchell Montgomery, a senior from Topeka, and his roommate. "There have been times my roommate would tell me he had to do homework to get out of spending time with the guys, but he would actually go hang out with his girlfriend at the time," he says. "It was really frustrating because I knew pretty much any time we asked him to do something with us and he had an excuse, it was usually a lie," Montgomery says.
Of course everyone bends the truth a little at some time or another, particularly if they aren't talking in person. "If someone asks me to do something and I don't want do to it I'll make something else up and tell them I have to do that," says Maddie Wolf, a freshman from Overland Park. "LOL is the biggest texting lie ever. No one is ever actually laughing out loud."
More often than not the recipient of a butter lie would rather just know the truth, even if it were something disappointing, like when you have other plans, "We laugh about it now because he realized he did want to spend more time with us, but I used to call him out on it and he would feel guilty about lying to us," Montgomery says.

Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job. And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Zenger knows football. In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there, Zenger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of that horrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.

in the penalty kick round as they defeated Kansas 5-3 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio last night. At the end of regulation the score was tied at 3-3.
Attempting to stay poised in a stressful situation like this is key for the Jayhawks.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said it was frustrating for the match to come down to penalty kicks because the team should have won the game when they had a 2-0 advantage.
"I think you just have to keep it together and when something like that happens you need to be confident," junior midfielder Whitney Berry said.
Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal was stopped in the fourth round of penalty kicks, putting the game out of reach. However, many factors led to the result coming down to penalty kicks.
The layhawks eventually were down 3-2, but when all hope seemed lost, the Jayhawks made one final charge before time
After several solid attempts, junior forward Whitney Berry finally broke through with a goal in the 35th minute, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead. The strike was her eighth of the season. The assist on the play was from junior midfielder Shelby Williams.
Kansas was the aggressor for most the first half, pushing the tempo on Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks continued to put out an aggressive defensive effort, only allowing six shots and one goal shot for the Aggies in the first half.
The Aggies came out in the second half with a purpose, and eventually drew a hand ball in the box when it accidently hit a Jayhawk defender's hand.
Kelley Monogue, a freshman from Texas A&M, then lined up for the penalty kick and striped a ball into the right corner of the goal. However, Kansas freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud grasped the ball before it could touch the end line.

In the 75th minute, Texas A&M tacked on another goal when Annie Kunz found a ball near the net, tying the game.
"They scored three really good goals," Francis said. "They'd been attacking us out wide all day and we did a great job defending it, but we didn't on those three occasions."
The first came in the 74th minute when Allie Bailey completed a cross to Merritt Mathias, putting the Aggies on the scoreboard.
The Aggies then went on and scored for the third time when Big 12 scoring leader Monogue made a goal in the 79th minute.

goals of their own in less than five minutes.
Freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouck covers her face in disappointment after a foul against Missouri that would lead to a penalty kick. Last night, the Jayhawks lost the game to penalty kicks in the final moments.
In the second half the wind also began to blow violently against the Jayhawks, but the team realized that was nothing they could control.

Francis said it was a little factor that allowed the Aggies keep the pressure on the Jayhawks end of the soccer field.

Now the Jayhawks hope the effort on Wednesday will be good enough for them to get an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.
"I think we just try to keep our heads up," Kastor said. "This team
deserves to go to the NCAA. I'm hoping we're going to keep playing."

When is it ever OK to lie?
Some Jayhawks give their opinion:
"I feel guilty about lying no matter the situation, in person or texting. So I try not to lie at all."
— Alyssa Steffes, a senior from Olathe
"It's OK when kids are involved, like when they ask if Santa is real."
— Nick Conrad, a freshman from Lawrence
"Truth is the best policy. Everyone has their own version of the truth, though."
— Gabe Hilleary, a junior form Atlanta
"If someone wants an answer to a question and I'm not sure what I want to say, I'll wait until I figure it out and then text them back."
— Erin Carter, a senior from Omaha
"Whenever it benefits me."
— Niko Skeels, a senior from Olathe
"I don't think it's ok ever. Honesty is better than protecting someone's feelings, you just have to choose your words carefully."
— Whitney Riker, senior from Chicago
"I can't lie, at all, if I were going to, it would have to be well thought out."
— Amanda Gion, a senior from Hutchinson
"If someone texts me and I don't want to talk, I tell them I'm busy."
— Sammi Arnold, a sophomore from Lawrence
"When someone asks me if they look good in an outfit and they don't, I tell them they look good because I don't want to hurt their feelings."
— Aleesha Avila, a junior from Kansas City, Mo.
"I try my best never to lie. But sometimes I just don't tell the whole truth and I only tell parts of it. But only if the truth will hurt their feelings."
— Andy Strydom, senior from South Africa
"If I have any opportunity to prank someone by lying I'll do it, as long as it won't harm them. I like to play jokes using texting because it's easier. I don't have to hide my facial expression, and the person being pranked can't tell if I'm serious."
— Chris Agnew, a sophomore from Louisburg

GET SOME CULTURE // ANDA UNION
> It's not all about food and beer pong.
AnDa Union, a band comprised of performers from inner and outer Mongolia, plan to hit the Lied Center's stage Nov. 5 to give Lawrence a taste of Mongolian music.
The music that comes from Mongolia is essentially the history of their culture, according to Tim Pierce, AnDa Union's manager. "They don't have building, they don't have pictures, they don't have pyramids like the Egyptians do, all of their culture is their music," Pierce says. "If it stops [the music] then there's no trace of them, they are gone."
The show will feature traditional Mongolian songs with a mixture of modern day Mongol music with the use of mouth harps and flutes as well as several different vocal forms. "It's powerful, it's beautiful, you will hear singing like you have never heard before; it's a life changing experience." Pierce says.
CHRIS NEAL
The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Lied Center. Tickets will cost $21 for adults and $5 for students. Following the show there will also be a meet and greet with the performers.
Public Library, there will also be a free viewing of the documentary about AnDa Union called "From the Steppes to the City."

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // PROFESSIONAL EMAILS
> In case of emergency, read quickly.
Email is a simple way to contact someone, but don't let the informal feeling fool you. The way you talk to your mom in an email isn't how you'd want to talk to a future employer. "Your correspondence is being reviewed at all stages, it can be part of the application process," says Wendy Shoemaker, senior associate director for the University Career Center. Shoemaker offers these tips:
Do:
Use proper grammar and punctuation. Use business correspondence titles, such as Mr. and Mrs. Always keep messages brief and concise. Sign with your full name and contact information. And make sure attachments are in a universal format that your recipient can open, such as a PDF.
Don't:
Use slang words. It's also important not to use abbreviations your recipient might not know, such as KU instead of the University of Kansas. Avoid using a demanding tone and break bigger chunks of text up into smaller paragraphs.
"When dealing with people in a position higher than you, they deserve respect because
they have earned that position. If you aren't respectful, it makes you look bad," says Chris Nugent a senior from Overland Park. Nugent gained this insight working as an Information Technology Services intern at Lee's Summit city hall for the past two years.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you never know who your email could be forwarded on to. "Proof read it before you send it," Nugent says.

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO RUN FOR STUDENT BODY > We know you're curious. PRESIDENT
| BY LIBBY JOHNSON AS TOLD BY MATT GALLOWAY |
Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, won the election for the Student Senate president on April 14, 2011. Johnson and her running mate, Gabe Bliss, a sophomore from Olathe, witnessed the announcement from The Yacht Club along with dozens of members of their coalition, KUnited. The duo secured 60 percent of the 5,192 votes cast. Her involvement in student government started in high school, continued as a freshman senator and climaxed with her victory last April.
Ana Crespo

My family thinks I'm crazy for doing this. My parents are science and math professors and they didn't understand why I would ever want to be involved in student government. But when the announcement that I had won the presidency was broadcast on KUJH-TV that night at The Yacht Club, you couldn't have removed the smiles from their faces.
By the time I arrived at KU, I wanted to be more than just another graduate when I left. I wanted to make an impact at a place that meant so much to me as a Lawrence native, knowing I would always call this place home.
I worked my way up the ladder from a freshman senator to the executive secretary before I decided to throw my name into the mix for president. And I can honestly say it was like being in a dead sprint for 30 days straight. You're putting in all hours of the day, skipping sleep to do any homework you might have. You don't have a social life at all. You literally wake up thinking about the campaign and go to bed thinking about the campaign, because you have to.
The weeks leading up to the election were an emotional roller coaster. The controversy my coalition dealt with for chalking the sidewalks early was something I didn't expect to be an issue, but I've learned that there is reality and there is what people say, and you have to understand that those are going to be different, and you have to learn to live with it. When you're running a campaign, you are in a spotlight. People are looking for you to mess up. The littlest things that you think are just
totally obvious blow up and come out in the newspaper to be you intentionally breaking rules, or trying to get ahead in some way. It's something you learn that is going to happen, and that sucks. But you deal with it.
Election week was nerve-racking. But once it's go-time, you don't have time to think about how you're feeling or your health. It's probably the most draining time of the campaign, but it's also the most rewarding. Coming to understand that there are people supporting you just because they believe in what you're doing is a really great feeling.
Polls closed at 4 p.m. that Thursday. I ran to class to take a quiz, dashed out as soon as I finished and made my way to The Yacht Club where we were having our viewing party. I remember there being confusion about just how the results would be relayed to us when they were released at 6 p.m. that night. Everyone was excited and socializing at first, but as the time of the announcement drew closer and closer, everyone got anxious and dead quiet. There were other people in the restaurant and they didn't really know what was going on, but they were dead quiet too. Then, I saw pictures of Gabe and myself pop up on KUJH-TV.
It was the most elating feeling in the world. I have never felt like that and I don't think I will ever feel like that again. It was such a release to look around at everyone else in our coalition, and my family, and hearing who else in the room got elected to positions. Gabe and I shared a big hug.
Unfortunately, I was exhausted and sunburned from the week of campaigning, so I crashed pretty early that night. But I can honestly say that as sweet as the taste of victory that night was, the last five months have equaled it. I don't know whether or not I'll go on into politics. I feel so close to this campus. It's big enough that it's a big school but small enough that it's a community. I think everyone should experience something once, and for me, this was the perfect time to do it.

Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job. And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Zenger knows football. In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there, Zenger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leuch. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of that horrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.

Kansas coach Mark Francis said it was frustrating for the match to come down to penalty kicks because the team should have won the game when they had a 2-0 advantage.
"I think you just have to keep it together and when something like that happens you need to be confident," junior midfieler Whitney Berry said.
Attempting to stay poised in a stressful situation like this is key for the Jayhawks.
Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal was stopped in the fourth round of penalty kicks, putting the game out of reach. However, many factors led to the result coming down to penalty kicks.
The Jayhaws eventually were down 3-2, but when all hope seemed lost, the Jayhaws made one final charge before time
After several solid attempts, junior forward Whitney Berry finally broke through with a goal in the 35th minute, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead. The strike was her eight of the season. The assist on the play was from junior midfielder Shelby Williamson.
Kansas was the aggressor for most the first half, pushing the tempo on Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks continued to put out an aggressive defensive effort, only allowing six shots and one goal shot for the Aggies in the first half.
The Aggies came out in the second half with a purpose, and eventually drew a hand ball in the box when it accidently hit a Jayhawk defender's hand.

The Aggies then went on and scored for the third time when Big 12 scoring leader Monogue made a goal in the 79th minute.
"They, scored three really good goals," Francis said. "They'd been attacking us out wide a.l day and we did a great job defending it, but we didn't on those three occasions."
In the second half the wind also began to blow violently against the Jayhawks, but the team realized that was nothing they could control.
Francis said it was a little factor that allowed the Aggies keep the pressure on the Jayhawks end of the soccer field.

BUILDING
TREEHOUSE
A local store owner's
experience running a
custom drum company
| JEFF KARR|
Contributed photo
Beat Building: Derek Sharp, owner of TreeHouse Custom Drums in Topeka, works on a new drum set.
Derek Sharp started playing drums 30 years ago when he was 9 years old. He met his wife when he was 10, and shortly after he built her a treehouse in which they would spend most of their summer together. As time passed, Sharp's interest in drums and carpentry grew, and when he was a senior in high school, he had but one job: purchasing used drum sets, refurbishing them, and selling them for higher prices. This is what spawned the idea for TreeHouse Custom Drums, Sharp's Topeka- based drum manufacturing company.
Lawrence is known for having one of the best music scenes in the Midwest. This being the case, there are a variety of music retail stores in town that provide musicians with the equipment they need to hone their skills and perform. One such store is Supersonic music. At first glance, Supersonic seems like a relatively normal music store. It is, however, the only store in Lawrence and Topeka that works in close affiliation with a custom drum company.
Sharp, a husband and father of three, purchased Super-sonic Music's Topeka location in 1998 after managing the store for two years. Two years after purchasing the store, he was approached by a customer who expressed interest in having him build a custom drum set. Sharp, who was familiar with the anatomy of drum sets through the work he had done on them, was up to the challenge. "TreeHouse didn't exist, but he gave me money and said 'I get the first drum set.' Nine months later I gave him the second drum set. I liked it better." Sharp says.
Making drum sets by hand proved to be an extremely difficult task. "I actually had to make the tools to make the tools to make the drums," he says. "It took a while."
After successfully completing his first pair of custom drum sets and opening a new Supersonic music location in Lawrence, Sharp was inspired to start TreeHouse Custom Drums. Located in the basement of Supersonic's Topeka location is what Sharp refers to as "the drumgeon." Sharp builds all the TreeHouse sets there. For the most part, it looks the way you might imagine any carpenter's workshop to look, aside from the fact that it is littered with drum shells and a wide variety of
custom made tools that ease the meticulous process of drum manufacturing. The workshop's location beneath Supersonic Music has been an extremely important feature for TreeHouse, Sharp saves.
Because his drum workshop is located beneath his music store, he doesn't have to pay separate phone and electric bills. He also cuts out all the middlemen that a manufacturer needs for production, snipping, storing, marketing, and selling the drums. This, Sharp says, is what allows him to sell his custommade drums at such lower prices than his competitors. An average four piece custom-made TreeHouse set sells from anywhere between $1,800 and $2,200. A Gretsch American made four piece drum set lists for around $5000. "My goal is to be around $1,000, out of the customers pocket, less than they would have to pay for a mass-produced professional drum set." Sharp says.
Since March of 2005, Sharp has had only four cumulative months where he wasn't working on a TreeHouse drum set. As such, his workload requires, for the most part, 12 to 13 hour work days, and occasionally 16 to 18 hour work days. "If I have an obligation, I do my best to honor it," he says.
Since the inception of TreeHouse in 2000, Sharp has been reluctant to allow anyone besides himself to work on the Tree-House sets. "A lot of people approach me saying they want to
help out, but they don't realize the time and precision it takes to build a drum set," he says. But in January of 2010, Sharp took Jason Degenhardt, Supersonic's online sales manager and drum instructor, on as an apprentice. "It's an apprenticeship, so he's teaching me as we go along." Degenhardt says. "It's been a blast. I play the drums, and I teach the drums, and now to be able to make the drums, are you kidding me? It's come around full circle. I get to do everything."
Sharp invited Degenhardt to start working for TreeHouse after seeing his organizational skills and his attention to detail. "For the most part, people come in wanting to help and they have no idea, and I don't have time for them to mess up one of my orders to learn how." Sharp says. "They have to come on board with lots of organization and an understanding of what its like to be excellent."

MOVIE REVIEW // FOOTLOOSE > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between
The original "Footloose" burst onto the screen in 1984, stealing the hearts of fans across the nation. You should careful when remaking a classic because fans already hold the movie to a high standard before it hits screens.
The movie starts with a group of drunk teenagers getting into a car crash. The five teens die instantly and the small southern town of Bomont, Georgia is shaken with grief and shock. It is here that we see Dennis Quaid as the Reverend Shaw Moore. It is his decision to ban dancing, music, drinking, or anything that could lead to a good time. He even gives the teens a curfew. And more importantly, he keeps his daughter Ariel Moore, played by Julianne Hough, away from her rebellious tendencies.
Fast forward three years and the new boy in town, Ren MacCormack, played by Kenny Wormald, moves into town. Ren can't get over the fact that he can't dance to blow off steam and blast his music from his Volkswagen. He soon finds a group of friends and is set on making the rebellious, unavailable, preacher's daughter his. All the pair needs to do is get rid of the ordinances.
The newest "Footloose" sticks close to the original plot. With Hough and Wormald wearing the same exact prom attire in the closing scenes, fans of the original will be surprisingly pleased at all of the similarities.

MOVIE REVIEW // 50/50 > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between
"50/50" is the story of Adam, a 27-year-old man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) diagnosed with a rare form of spinal cancer. He hopes to survive the tribulation with the help of his girlfriend (Bryce Dallas Howard), best friend and roommate (Seth Rogen), therapist (Anna Kendrick), and mother (Angelica Huston).
An effective method in films dealing with a difficult subject is opening with humor then shifting to melancholy. As one would expect, Seth Rogen shines in the comedic first half, as does Anna Kendrick. It is important that after the story hits its comedic peak it must make a shift and drop in a dramatic valley.
Unfortunately, "50/50" never ventures deep enough. A second major fault is that no characters, other than Adam, feel fully developed, because the script spreads itself too thin between his complementary characters. Had it focused on one relationship more, and lessened the focus on others, the result would have been a better story.
Adam begins a romantic relationship with his therapist-in-learning (Kendrick), which might seem unethical to some, but the movie
basically rebuts with "Yeah, but she's cute, so you don't care, right?" And, no, I don't. "50/50" works better as a comedy than a drama, which seems unusual for a movie about a man dealing with cancer. The dramatic scenes tend to be so tame that it doesn't matter.

FASHION REVIEW // RED PANTS
> Get it while it's haute
Red pants can be paired with a variety of tops and can easily be dressed up or down. Wear the bottoms with an animal print top, or a mint colored shirt with a floral pattern if you would like to enhance the bold colored pants. If the red jeans alone are wild enough for you, then try wearing the jeans with a simple white or lace top. Experiment with the wide variety of pant options to suit your fashion needs. You can find the red pants in chino style, skinny jeans, and even caaris.
The signature trend this autumn is red pants. Red bottoms sported by celebrities are now an everyday clothing article worn by individuals of all ages. They offer an effortless transformation from standard jeans to a more stylish option.
Students can also take the trend to a new level and wear them on game days. Use your red pants to complement a white or blue shirt and represent the Jayhawks in style. The basic version of pants is available for reasonable prices at Target.

Sheanon Zenger didn't hire Gill. I doubt he feels any loyalty to the hire and probably wants to find his one guy for the job. And as a former assistant under Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Zenger knows football. In his search for a new head coach at Illinois State as athletic director there, Zinger once told a central Illinois newspaper that he consulted a number of former colleagues while searching for a head coach. That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of that horrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.

That included the aforementioned Snyder, Mark Mangino, and former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. That's an impressive group of football minds to get advice from. Zenger knows what he's doing, and if he can somehow get out of that horrendous contract handed out by his predecessor, Kansas football will be in good shape.

Attempting to stay poised in a stressful situation like this is key for the Jayhawks.
"I think you just have to keep it together and when something like that happens you need to be confident", junior midfielder Whitney Berry said.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said it was frustrating for the match to come down to penalty kicks because the team should have won the game when they had a 2-0 advantage.
Kansas forward Ingrid Vidal was stopped in the fourth round of penalty kicks, putting the game out of reach. However, many factors led to the result coming down to penalty kicks.

The Jayhawks eventually were down 3-2, but when all hope seemed lost, the Jayhawks made one final charge before time
Kansas was the aggressor for most the first half, pushing the tempo on Texas A&M.
After several solid attempts, junior forward Whitney Berry finally broke through with a goal in the 35th minute, giving Kansas a 1-0 lead. The strike was her eighth of the season. The assist on the play was from junior mid-fielder Shelly Williams.
The lajahws continued to put out an aggressive defensive effort, only allowing six shots and one goal shot for the Aggies in the first half.
Kelley Monogue, a freshman from Texas A&M, then lined up for the penalty kick and striped a ball into the right corner of the goal. However, Kansas freshman goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud grasped the ball before it could touch the end line.
The Aggies came out in the second half with a purpose, and eventually drew a hand ball in the box when it accidently hit a Jayhawk defender's hand.

goals of the own in less than five minutes.
The Aggies then went on and scored for the third time when Big 12 scoring leader Monogue made a goal in the 79th minute.
"They scored three really good goals," Francis said. "They'd been attacking us out wide all day and we did a great job defending it, but we didn't on those three occasions."
In the second half the wind also began to blow violently against the Jayhawks, but the team realized that was nothing they could control.
Francis said it was little factor that allowed the Aggs keep the pressure on the Jayhawks end of the soccer field.
Now the Jayhawks hope the effort on Wednesday will be good enough for them to get an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.

"All rise."
A voice echoes through the chamber.
Everyone in the room stands as the three judges, each cloaked in a black robe, take their seats at the top of the elevated platform. The scene plays out like an episode of "Law & Order," albeit a little less dramatic, complete with prosecutors, defenders and defendants.
This is the University's ticket appeals court, where people who
have been cited for illegal parking on campus have the opportunity to present their cases in hopes of having their tickets overturned by the presiding judges, all of whom are students in the University law school.
Rebekah Gates, a freshman from Gardner, decided to appeal the three parking tickets she had received at the beginning of the semester.
"It was my first time parking at KU, and it was dark outside and I was really excited about starting school the next day," Gates
said. "I didn't notice that the spot was marked as invalid, and when I came back to my car the next Friday to go to work I discovered the tickets. I felt bad, but it was an honest mistake and I didn't want to have to pay three citations or have it on my record."
After contacting the parking department about appealing the tickets, Gates was assigned Amanda Eastman, a first-year law student from Kansas City, Kan., as her defense attorney. Eastman learned about the opportunity to volunteer for the appellate court this semester
during her orientation.
"I'm only two months into law school," Eastman said. "I have already prepared oral arguments for two different clients. I have found all the shreds of evidence that will be useful to my case and put it together coh esively and present it while three judges are asking me questions. It's an invaluable experience."

KDOT INSTALLS TWO CABLE MEDIAN BARRIERS ON KANSAS HIGHWAY 10
KDOT plans to install cable median barriers at two 2-mile sections of K-10 where crossover median collisions have claimed several lives, including a double-fatality accident that killed 24-year-old Ryan Pittman and five-year-old Cainan Shutt, of Eudora, last April.
The Greater Kansan City Area Lawrence
Since 2000, crossover median accidents on K-10 have killed 11 people, according to statistics from KDOT. Of the 11 fatalities, eight occurred at locations where KDOT plans to put in the cable barriers, said Kimberly Qualls, the Northeast Kansas public affairs manager for KDOT.

"The installation of the cable median barriers at these two sections is to alleviate vehicles — hopefully from crossing over the median," she said.
Qualls said that the $800,000 project will install cable barriers two miles east of Eudora, and two miles along the Kansas Highway 7 interchange in Johnson County. KDOT will finance the project, which is expected to begin next summer.
Following the double-fatality accident last April, Scott Hopson, the Mayor of Eudora, wrote Gov. Sam
Brownback asking for improved safety measures on the highway.
Hopson said that he and other citizens of Douglas and Johnson Counties initially asked the state to install cable barriers along the entire stretch of K-10. However, the group scaled backed their request after KDOT recommended a more economically feasible plan.
Hopson said that he was pleased with the state's choice to provide the
cable barriers along the highway.

CULIACAN, MEXICO
Authorities say gunmen have killed five members of a family in a mountainous area of western Mexico.
Sinaloa state prosecutors said three women, a teenage girl and a 7-year-old boy were killed when gunmen ambushed them as they were riding in a pickup truck on a dirt road in the town of El Rosario.
Prosecutors said in a statement Thursday that police found 64 spent bullet casings at the scene. They said they had not captured any suspects or discovered a motive for the attack, which took place Wednesday.
The western state of Sinaloa is the cradle for most of Mexico's drug lords and its mountains are known to be used for growing marijuana.

A Canadian indicted in the U.S. on charges he supplied al-Qaida with weapons in Pakistan will not be extradited to the United States after Canada's Supreme Court said it wouldn't hear the case.
Abdullah Khadr had been held in Canada on a U.S. warrant after his December 2005 arrest before he was released in 2010. He was released after two provincial courts in Ontario suspended his extradition, ruling his rights were violated during his detention in Pakistan.
Dennis Edney, his lawyer, said the top court's decision not to hear the Canadian government's appeal means the case is over. The Supreme Court did not give reasons why it didn't hear the case.

Kenya's military spokesman is using Twitter to warn people not to help al-Qaida-linked militants by selling them an old-world transportation tool: donkeys.

"Kenyans dealing in donkey trade along the Kenya-Somali border are advised not to sell their animals to Al Shabaab, "Chirchir tweeted, adding: "Selling Donkeys to Al Shabaab will undermine our efforts in Somalia."
"Thus, any large concentration and movement of loaded donkeys will be considered as Al Shabaab activity," Chirchir said.

Ireland announced Thursday it is closing its embassies to the Vatican and two other nations, but denied that its deteriorating relations with the Catholic Church played a role in its choice of cuts.
Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said Ireland was under grave financial pressure as it tries to slash spending in line with its international bailout last year. He said a review determined that Ireland's diplomatic posts to the Vatican, Iran and Timor Leste offered the least returns in foreign investment.

"The government believes that Ireland's interests with the Holy See can be sufficiently represented by a non-resident ambassador," Gilmore said.
Free screenings offered to combat flu season
The University of Kansas School of Pharmacy is making it easier for students and staff to remain healthy this flu season by offering free health screenings Friday.
Pharmacy students will screen patients for conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. HeJoe Heidrick, assistant professor in the school, said the screenings are beneficial for everyone.
"I think this is just a good opportunity for our students to reach other students and show the things that pharmacy students can do, not only while they're in school, but also in the community," he said.
The screenings will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

Defense attorney contests scrutiny in abortion case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A defense attorney Thursday questioned the scrutiny a Kansas doctor is receiving from the state over referring young patients for late-term abortions to preserve their mental health, noting that a disciplinary case against her stems from an anti-abortion leader's complaint.
A hearing is scheduled to conclude Friday in the case of Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus, who provided second opinions that the late Dr. George Tiller's clinic in Wichita needed under Kansas law to perform late-term abortions. The hearing's presiding officer is expected to decide by early next year to recommend whether the State Board of Healing Arts, which licenses and regulates physicians, should impose sanctions.
A complaint before the board accuses Neuhaus of negligence in conducting mental health exams for 11 patients, ages 10 to 18, who terminated pregnancies from July to November 2003. Neuhaus diagnosed the patients with acute anxiety, acute stress or single episodes of major depression, concluding their conditions met requirements in Kansas law for late-term abortions.
The board's top litigation attorney filed the complaint in April 2010, but it stems from a complaint lodged with the board in 2006 by Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for the Wichita-based anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. Sullenger receives notices from the board
Robert Eye, lead attorney for Neuhaus, said he believes evidence is "solid" in showing that the doctor met standards of care in conducting the exams. Eye said he respects the board's mandate to protect the public from substandard care and its need to investigate complaints of potential misconduct, but he also suggested Sullenger's complaint was driven by her views on abortion.
about the case.
"The fact that this complaint was to the board by an antichoice group and not by any patient Dr. Neuhaus has ever evaluated is pretty significant," Eye said during an interview. ""Dr. Neuhaus evaluated hundreds of patients for Dr. Tiller, none of whom complained. For many of these patients, their parents or guardians were in the room."
But Stullenger said abortion patients are reluctant to complain to the board because they don't want other people to know they've terminated their pregnancies and don't want to relive the experience. Also, she said, patients tend to trust their doctors and don't study the law before seeking a medical procedure.
"If a doctor says this is OK, they're going to trust their doctor," she said. "It's not a surprise to me that a woman who's had an abortion is not a complainant in the case. That's why we're here."

Bolivian co-op sells Alpaca wool winter wear to students
JULIANNA TIDWELL jtidwell@kansan.com
Bolivian fair trade group Chasqui is on campus this week selling wool hats, scarves and sweaters to keep students warm this winter. Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority sponsored Chasqui, whose name means "Messenger of the Sun God" in Bolivian native dialects. It's a fitting name for the fair-trade Bolivian co-op that the 100 percent Alpaca wool products to campus each year.
About 300 Bolivian families from four different regions of Bolivia make the items, and the four main colors and patterns on the products are representative of those regions.
"Buying anything from the stand, you know that it's going to go back and help the people who made it," she said. "If I go to Walmart, yeah, their prices are pretty good, some cheaper, but I don't know where the money goes. I feel good doing what I can."

Sigma Lambda Gamma president Rocio Ramirez said while the prices and products are great, she enjoys the fair-trade aspect of the sale.
Sigma Lambda Gamma has been working with the co-op for more than 10 years, and the majority of proceeds from sales go to Bolivia, where they help fund schools and provide water throughout the nation.
The co-op has already helped fund more than 600,000 students in 22 schools. Prices of the winter clothes range from $13 for scarves and hats to $44 for sweaters. Ramirez said the cooler weather is boosting sales this week.
"We're seeing more buyers than at the beginning of the week when it was in the 70s," she said.
Chasqui will be on campus until 4 p.m. Friday, when it will leave to go to other schools across the nation in hopes of making more money to send back to Bolivia.

ISAAC GWIN/KANSAN
offers a unique opportunity for law students to hone their craft. Unlike moot court, where students present their cases in mock trials merely for a grade, the appellate court has the students developing cases for actual clients, with outcomes that will ultimately have real consequences.
Maggie DiSilvestro, also a first-year law student from Kansas City, Kan., acted as the prosecution on the side of the parking department.
"It's a little bit trickier trying to relate to 'The Man's' position," DiSilvestro said. "But I have a slight advantage in that the appellant has
already been ticketed, so all I have to do is show that the regulations are just."
After the prosecution and defense have argued their sides, for which they have prepared evidence in the form of statements from witnesses, photographs of parking areas and information from previous appellate court cases, the judges then deliberate and make their decisions.
The judges ruled that Gates would have to pay one of the three parking citations, stating that the parking department had the right to cite her the tickets, but that out of fairness, the other two tickets
would not be enforced.
"I feel it's reasonable that I only received one ticket for the invalid parking mistake," Gates said. "Even though it's just for a parking ticket, being in court and seeing the judges deliberate was still really intense."
According to Donna Hultine, director of the University parking department, of the 55,183 parking citations given by the University in the last fiscal year, only 1,001 have been appealed.

Men charged in conspiracy, ricin plot
ASSOCIATED PRESS
On his website, militia leader-turned-blogger Mike Vanderboech writes about fed-up Americans responding to government violence with guns and grenades. It's an attempt to warn the government that people are armed and angry, he said, just like last year when he urged those upset with President Barack Obama's health care plan to toss bricks at Democratic Party offices.
A few people shattered office windows then, and federal prosecutors now say his online novel about a militia making war against the U.S. government inspired a group of four retirement-age men in Georgia to plot an attack on unnamed government leaders using guns, the deadly toxin ricin and explosives.
Vanderboegh said he doesn't know the suspects. He ridiculed the men's plans and chuckled at the notoriety he has gained for his online rants.
"It comes with the territory" he said in an interview from his home in a Birmingham, Ala., suburb. Vanderboegh hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing.
The four suspected militia members allegedly boasted of a "bucket
list” of government officials who needed to be “taken out”; talked about scattering ricin from a plane or a car speeding down a highway past major U.S. cities; and scouted IRS and ATF offices, with one man saying, “Wed have to blow the whole building like Timothy McVeigh,” a reference to the man executed for bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.
Federal investigators said they had them under surveillance for at least seven months, infiltrating their meetings at a Waffle House, homes and other places, before finally arresting them Tuesday, just days after discovering evidence they were trying to extract ricin from castor beans.
The four gray-haired men appeared in federal court Wednesday without entering a plea. Frederick Thomas, 73; Dan Roberts, 67; Ray Adams, 65; and Samuel Crump, 68 were jailed for a bail hearing next week. They apparently had trouble hearing the judge, some of them cupping their ears.
A grand jury indicted the men Thursday. Thomas and Roberts are charged with conspiring to possess an explosive device and possessing an unregistered silencer. Adams and
Crump are charged with attempting to make a biological toxin.
A Department of Justice spokesman said that if convicted, Crump and Adams could face life in prison, while Thomas and Roberts could face up to five years.
Relatives of two of the men said the charges were baseless. The public defender assigned to the case had no comment.
Vanderboegh, a big man with thinning gray hair and glasses, was raised in Ohio and moved to Alabama years ago for work. He was a former Alabama Minuteman leader but said he no longer considers himself as a leader of the movement.
Vanderbeeg said he has never advocated violence against the government yet recognizes its possible — even likely — if the government attacks citizens first.
Vanderbeegh wrote on his blog that his book was fiction and that he was skeptical a "pretty geriatric" militia could carry out the attacks the men were accused of planning.
Thomas' wife, Charlotte, told The Associated Press the charges were "baloney"
"He spent 30 years in the U.S. Navy. He would not do anything against his country," she said.

"It's a very high speed, dangerous road," Cromwell said. "One of the things about K-10 is it is heavily traveled by not just commuters but students also, and that's one reason to be extra careful. I am pleased to see that they've moved forward with those barriers — I think that will help."
In addition to the cable barrier project, KDOT plans to lobby the
Kansas Legislature to make K-10 a "safety corridor" because of the high frequency of accidents. The highway safety corridor would aim to tackle reckless driving by increasing fines and police presence on the highway. Mayor Hopson said that Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, plans to work on the proposal.

EPA investigates drilling
effect on water supply The Environmental Protection Agency is set to start a federal probe into whether the controversial'drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing is spoiling and diminishing drinking water supplies.

The EPA will examine drilling sites in Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Louisiana, Texas and Colorado.
The agency's final study plan was released Thursday. The research will look at where companies performing hydraulic fracturing get their water and how much they use. It will also try to pinpoint the cause of alleged water contamination — looking at aboveground spills, well design and the fracturing process itself.
Meanwhile, the agency has taken steps to boost regulation of so-called fracking, which is the injection of water and chemicals underground to extract natural gas trapped in rock.
The first results will be available in 2012.

Van Doren, who was a chemist, and his older brother Paul began selling custom shoes in 1966 from their first store in Anaheim. The brothers only had sample shoes and their made-to-order shoes were often made with the canvas material and patterns brought in by customers.
OBITUARY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
James Van Doren, the cofounder of Vans canvas shoes that were embraced by the skateboard culture and became a nationwide sensation when Sean Penn wore a checkerboard pair in the 1982 movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", has died. He was 72.
Van Doren died of cancer at his Fullerton home on Oct. 12, his wife Char told The Associated Press on Thursday.
By the early 1980s, foreign competition in the athletic shoe business led to heavy losses, prompting the company to file for bankruptcy protection. A court-ordered management shake-up in 1984 led to the departure of James.
Four years later, an investment banking company bought Vans, which has been sold several times since.
As for James Van Doren, loyalty to the American-man shoe never waned. His wife says he wore Van deck shoes "every day of his life."
Control was returned to Paul, who came out of semi-retirement to run the then-Orange-Countybased firm.
Char Van Doren said. "The checkerboard pattern skyrocketed after that."
"I know where he is: He's still in my heart and he's with God," his widow said.
The Vans office is now in Cypress, where several Van Doren family members still work.
Van Doren's body was cremated and his ashes may be scattered in Hawaii. A memorial Mass is planned Friday morning at Fullerton's St. Juliana Falconieri Catholic Church.
Besides his wife, Van Doren is survived by sons James Jr., Mark and Eric; brothers Paul and Robert and sister Bernice Chute.

EDITORIAL
You won't get free tuition for getting hit by a bus, but you will get a hospital stay, rehab, and, if you survive, a stupidity award.
The Kansas Department of Transportation did a great service to the families of Kansas Highway 10 crash victims when it agreed to install cable median barriers on two accident-prone stretches of the highway. But it still takes personal responsibility while driving to ensure deadly crashes don't happen.
Personal responsibility is key to safe driving
Just in the past 10 years, K-10 has seen eight fatalities on the Eudora and K-7 interchanges. After an April 16 crash killed two people, including a 5-year-old child, state officials discussed K-10's safety between Lawrence and Kansas City. After about six months, they finally approved the
construction project.
The cable barriers will provide some protection to the interchanges, which accounted for eight of the 11 total fatalities on K-10 because of cross-median crashes since 2000. A North Carolina Department of Transportation study found that while interstate highway cross-median crashes accounted for only three percent of highway crashes, they accounted for almost one third of traffic fatalities.
Many factors play into these accidents, including distracted driving.
According to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, 20 percent of injury-crash reports in 2009 contained incidents of distracted driving. Using a cell phone hand-held or hands free while driving — an increasingly common occurrence — delayed drivers' reactions as much as after consuming the legal limit of alcohol.
It's on the driver to become the safest deterrent to fatal crashes. While the barriers will help prevent fatalities in the event of a crash, drivers on K-10 especially need to stay focused while commuting.
Local University students occasionally visit home on the weekends, and many commute using
K-10. While most students are technically legal adults, it doesn't mean they are capable of handling driving while distracted.
It's up to drivers to determine if they want to become part of the grim statistics. Instead of calling or texting from your phone, turn on the radio, listen to your favorite music, or enjoy the calm, settled view while driving. Your iPhone, e-mail, and significant other's texts can wait for another hour, and if it's an emergency, pull over.
It isn't worth it.

Kardashian divorce keeps her in news
Kim Kardashian got married for love. According to her recent blog post, she just wants "a family and babies and a real life." She thinks that she may have jumped into something too soon. Is she kidding? After only 72 days of marriage, Kimmy K. has turned another page in her lifelong storybook of classless endeavors. This chapter barely took two months. Only a few weeks after her "Fairytale Wedding" aired, Kim found a way to land herself back in the headlines.
By Jordan Gormley
editor@kansan.com
I made an honest attempt to believe that Kim had grown up or at least moved past her phase of being a talentless tabloid celebrity. I'm more of an idiot than Kris Humphries for believing that. No matter how many comments the family makes in Kim's defense, I can't bring myself to buy any of it.
Shortly after explaining that she did not get married just for the television show, Kim admitted that she got caught up with the "hoopla and the filming of the TV show and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people." Her comments about her marriage flip-flopped faster than the marriage itself. Later she stated that reports of her making millions off of the wedding were
simply untrue. Do pictures sold to People magazine and around-the-clock E! television exposure count? Guess not.
Kim considers herself a role model for her young fans. Let us hope that this is not the future of every adoring young fan of Kim's. I'd rather see more girls turn out like Kesha. It may come as a surprise, but Kim still has a throng of fans. Those fans bought in to the whirlwind romance and the thought of fairy tale endings. Those are the very fans who are upset with Kim's critics and skeptics, but are they directing their anger appropriately? If Cam Newton had gone through all of the pre-draft drills and workouts only to decide that he didn't like football anymore, his fans would be pissed at him instead of turning their anger towards those who
covered the storv.
Now comes the real question: What's next for Kim? She could be the next Bachelorette because we all know that everybody on that show is doing it for love and babies and a real life. If only El had the rights to that show. It may draw viewers, but I'm sure Kim's version of the Bachelorette would end up looking like an episode of Tila Tequila’s “A Shot of Love.”
Whether she ends up taking New York or not, Kim has successfully locked down a few more months as a relevant human being. Don't think for a second that she'll go away anytime soon, though. Her mother, as it turns out, seems to be a better manager than Eric Murphy when it comes to lining up jobs. Fret not, Kim fans. It's only a matter of time before she shows up again. She keeps showing up without warning, and it seems like we'll never get rid of her. It seems as if you can get rid of a few horrible reality stars, but Kim Kardashian, she stays with you for life.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
The offense has to recover from the statistical anomaly that was the Texas game. After relying on the rushing attack for most of the year, the Jayhawks finished with minus two yards rushing. As Iowa State held Texas Tech to 290 total yards, the Kansas offense should have its hands full. The running backs will have to get back on track, which will help Webb return to his early-season form, in which he was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in college football.

DEFENSE
Five Kansas players recorded 11 or more tackles against the Longhorns in Austin. And while that looks like a good set of numbers, the numbers were inflated because the Kansas defense was on the field for 44 minutes and seven seconds of the game. Texas finished with 590 total yards of offense, with 441 of them coming on the ground. Against a dual threat quarterback that the Cyclones have, the Kansas defense must play disciplined and to limit the big plays for the Cyclones.

The number of yards junior kick returner and receiver D.J. Beshears needs to set the single-season kickoff return yards record for Kansas.
AT A GLANCE
COACHING
If they hadn't already, the wheels totally came off of the Jayhawks' season in their 43-0 loss against Texas. Riding a six-game losing streak, Kansas is now 2-6 on the year and 0-5 in Big 12 play. The closest of their last four games was a 30-point loss to Oklahoma. After carrying the defense all season, the Jayhawks' offense had only 46 yards against Texas. The entire team will have to pick it up against Iowa State, if it hopes to stay competitive.
PLAYER TO WATCH
These next four games are make-or-break for coach Turner Gill. He's in the hot seat, as his coaching philosophies have come into question. The Jayhawks' closest thing to a road win all season was its 66-24 loss to Georgia Tech, so Gill will need to get his guys more amped up to play on the road than they have been all season
MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
Sophomore Quarterback Jordan Webb: Before its game on Saturday against Texas Tech, the Iowa State defense had struggled all year. But the Cyclones held a pass-happy Red Raider offense to only seven points. Jordan Webb cannot allow the Iowa State defense to have similar success this Saturday if Kansas wants any chance of returning to Lawrence with a victory. Webb will have to be smart and effective, which should help open up the running game and the Kansas offense as a whole.
PREDICTION 41-17, IOWA STATE
KU
KANSAS
2
— Jordan Webb
The Jayhawks are trying to create some momentum of their own and start the new month on a positive note. Kansas has suffered six straight losses, none of them pretty, and the team is reeling into November. The Jayhawks have four games left to prevent the season from being possibly one of the worst in school history, to a mediocre, forgettable year.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Kick returner D.J. Beshears is on the verge of breaking the school's record for kickoff return yards in one season. He should get his chance to surpass the 32-yards needed to cement himself in the Kansas football record books. Also seeing a lot of playing time this season is sophomore punter Ronnie Dohrty. Dohrty had seven punts for 297 yards against Texas.
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas puts together four quarters of solid football. It's a feat Kansas hasn't been able to accomplish all season, but if the Jayhawks can play the whole game without making major errors against the Cyclones, they'll have a chance to come out on top.
QUESTION MARKS
The offensive numbers for Kansas have been on a downward trend throughout Big 12 play, culminating in the shutout loss to Texas. Kansas didn't cross midfield until late in the fourth quarter against the Longhorns. The offense has a chance to redeem itself against Iowa State, or further prove that the season has taken a turn for the worst.
Was the offense's good performance against Texas a fluke?
MOMENTUM
The Cyclones are riding high following their big victory over Texas Tech. They are two games away from becoming Bowl Eligible and will need the win this week, as their final three games are against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Kansas State, all top-15 teams.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Cyclones employ two players for their place-kicking duties, seniors Grant Mahoney and Zach Guyer. Despite hold down the kicking duties for his first three seasons in Ames, Iowa Mahoney has taken a back seat to Guyer, attempting only four field goals on the year. Mahoney does have a career long of 57-yards compared to Guyer's 32-yard long.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
The Cyclones strike early and the Jayhawk offense fails to respond immediately. The Jayhawk balloon deflates and they lose all confidence.
QUESTION MARKS
KANSAS
1/2
Will the Cyclones keep making big plays?
Through eight games this season, the Cyclones have had nine plays go 40 yards or more. They'll have more chances to continue to make big plays against a Kansas defense notorious for allowing the home run.
STARTING LINEUP
STATE
IOWA STATE
OFFENSE
After tiring of the inconsistent play of junior quarterback Steele Jantz, Iowa State coach Paul Rhodes switched things up last week, putting freshman Jared Barnett under center for his first career start. The offense responded, putting up 41 points and 512 total yards. Barnett, a dual-threat quarterback, ran for 92 yards and a touchdown in his first career start.

DEFENSE
The Cyclone defense is schematically different from the one the Jayhawks saw in Austin, Texas last weekend in that they don't blitz as much as the Longhorns did. Junior linebacker Jake Knott is all over the field, leading the Cyclones with 8.75 tackles per game. This week could be the week the Kansas offense gets back on track, as the cyclones rank 101st nationally in total defense.

Number of times, in 19 tries, that Iowa State has defeated Iowa and Northern Iowa in the same season. The Cyclones defeated Northern Iowa 20-19 on Sept. 3 and Iowa 44-41 on Sept. 10.
COACHING
Paul Rhodes is in his third year at the helm of the Iowa State Cyclones. Rhodes turned around a program that lost 10 games in the season prior to his hiring. In his first season, Rhodes not only led Iowa State to a winning season, but also a 14-13 victory in the 2009 Insight Bowl against Minnesota. Iowa State is Rhodes' first tenure as a coach. He previously served as the defensive coordinator at Auburn and Pittsburgh.
AT A GLANCE
Before their upset win in Lubbock, Texas last weekend, the Cyclones looked like the best chance for the Jayhawks to pick up a conference win in the 2011 season. Iowa State's 41-7 victory was the largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in Cycle history, and came just a week after Tech Teens knocked off then third ranked Oklahoma. The Jayhawks will want to channel some of that magic when they head up to Ames, Iowa this weekend.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore running back James White: With a freshman quarterback, Jared Barnett, under center, the Cyclones will look to White to take the pressure off Barnett. Last game, they handed the ball off to White 31 times. Expect more of the same as they count on him to keep the chains moving and wear down the Jayhawk defensive front.

Senior Rebeka Stowe is honored to be recognized as an All-Big 12 cross country runner for the second consecutive season and also added a new personal record last Saturday. In every race Stowe has run this season, she finished first on the Kansas squad. Despite her success, Stowe said she was disappointed with her seventh place finish at the Big 12 Championship race.
"It's weird, actually. My grandma was the only one who went to KU and I was always bashing it," Stowe said.
Despite going to high school in Olathe, Rebeka never thought she would end up at the University of Kansas. Her family is mostly "K-Staters," as she calls them.
When it came time to visit colleges, Kansas State — the school she had always wanted to attend — just didn't feel right. Choosing Lawrence

It is still a dream for Stowe to race at the NCAA Championships and this will be her last chance to make it to nationals. She will run on Nov. 12 at the Midwest regional for a chance at making that dream come true.
Stowe is a spiritual person guided by her faith. She believes that she was made to be a runner and that God placed this path in front of her. She may not know where the next turn leads, but for now, Stowe stays focused on keeping her legs moving.

MORNING BREW
A view from the student section
I had attended a few Kansas basketball games prior to Tuesday's exhibition game against Pittsburgh State University when I was in high school, but this time around, I was able to view the game from a different angle: the student section. For the first time, I wasn't going to stop at the main entrance. That's right, I was going all the way to the student entrance baby.
There was one person between me and that shiny hardwood floor. The line wasn't long at this point, but it sure felt like it was moving in slow motion. I was next in line. They took my KU ID to scan it, and just as I thought I was good to go, the hand-held scanner rejected my card. Great, so now I have to go wait in a separate line to fix the problem. After a short wait, I was in.

jrosa@kansan.com
I managed to find some great seats in section one, right behind the backboard. I stood at my seat and looked around for a while, admiring every little detail of Allen Fieldhouse. Just minutes before tip off, the student section began to go through all the pregame traditions. It felt pretty weird to be part of them now, especially when it was time for the alma mater. For some reason, I was pulled right back into my high school's alma mater. But it wasn't until I was covered in pieces of newspaper confetti, standing amongst a sea of blue that I realized the magnitude of where I was actually standing. I definitely had the best seat in the house. As the players took the court, I could feel the energy building with every second, and when Conner Teahan sank
The Jayhawks went on to defeat the Gorillas 84-55, but the outcome of the game was irrelevant to me. I walked away from this game knowing not only that the Jayhawks came away with a win, but that I was now a part of the rich tradition of Kansas basketball. There were a lot of little things I was able to pick up that I would not have noticed had I been sitting elsewhere. Like when Jeff Withey is at the line shooting free throws, we don't just raise our arms, but we form a “W” using our hands. Or the various distractions students will do to throw off the opposing free-throw shooter. Or that I really need to work on the fight song clap, because every time I do it, I'm off beat from everyone else. Every University student remembers his or her first basketball game as a student, and I'm proud to say that I now have one under my belt. Basketball at Allen Fieldhouse is unlike any other program in the country, and I was able to see that first hand on Tuesday.

MISSOURI BAYLOR
6 P.M. SATURDAY, NOV. 5
The Longhorns have a full head of steam after shutting out the reeling Kansas Jayhawks. They get another chance to buck their horns this week as they welcome the inconsistent Texas Tech Red Raiders to Austin, Texas. Texas Tech is one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. It won against a top 5 team in Norman, Okla., one week, then tell at home to lowly Iowa State the next.
Prediction: 31-20 Texas
The Longhorns' defense will prevent the Texas Tech offense from moving seamlessly down the field.

The Wildcats enter Stillwater, Okla. after their tough loss against the Sooners. Now, they will have to contain the second-best scoring offense in the nation. The Wildcats' strategy of trying to move the chains and keep the Cowboy offense off the field is the opposite of the quick strike Cowboys' plan of running as many plays in as little time as possible.

Prediction: 45-21 Oklahoma State The Wildcat defense will do its best to slow down the Cowboy offense, but Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden will be too much for the Wildcats to contain.
Prediction: 41-31 Baylor
The Tigers will travel to Texas for the second week in a row to face the Baylor Bears. Their last trip ended in an overtime win over Texas A&M. Baylor enters the game on a cold streak, having lost three of four games since entering Big 12 play. Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III has not been the same Heisman candidate he once was when the Bears entered Big 12 play.

Texas &AM is struggling to stay afloat after losing to Missouri last weekend. The loss pretty much eliminated it from the Big 12 title hunt and another loss could seriously hamper coach Mike Sherman's job security. Oklahoma's hopes fall on quarterback Landry Jones, after the Sooners lost leading rusher Dominique Whaley for the season because of an injury.

Sooner quarterback Landry Jones will come back swinging after halftime and the Aggies will suffer their fourth second-half collapse on their way to losing the game.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW: READY FOR IOWA STATE? STATE
STATE
W When it comes to making something ugly more appealing, there is an old saying: you can't put lipstick on a pig.
This season, Kansas football coach Turner Gill has tried to take that saying even further. He's put lipstick on the pig, injected it with Botox and given it a nose job. But Gill's always sunny attitude regarding his historically horrible team is starting to rub Kansas fans the wrong way.
Positivity from Gill grows old
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/themattgalloway
"We're doing just OK." Gill said when asked how he was doing.
It was a far cry from former coach Mark Mangino's epic rant after his team lost at Texas in 2004, which has received nearly 200,000 views on YouTube. And believe it or not, that is the closest Gill has come all season to showing that these blowout losses are getting to him.
Listening to Gill's teleconference on Oct. 30 was a surreal experience for anyone who has seen even one quarter of Kansas football this season.
And as unfair as it may be, Gill has reached that point with Kansas football fans.
Positivity is part of his character, and it is one of his greatest traits. Gill probably takes the losses harder than anyone in Lawrence not named Vic Shealy. But there is a time when positivity begins to be interpreted as apathy, and a stolc attitude is interpreted as being nonchalant.
- Edited by Ben Chipman
LISTEN TO AN EXCLUSIVE PODCAST ABOUT KU FOOTBALL @KANSAN.COM
Gill went on to praise the defense, saying they showed mental toughness and determination. Yes, that defense, the one that surrendered 590 total yards of offense and 441 rushing yards to the Longhorns. He said the offense played hard. Yes, that offense, the one that rushed 20 times for -2 yards and came within two yards of the all-time mark for futility for a Kansas offense.
Nobody is asking for Gill to have a complete meltdown, like the infamous "I'm a man! I'm 40!" tirade from Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy in 2007. That might be the only thing that could embarrass the University more than the losing. But Gill's positivity during chaos is making him look like Nero, fiddling while Rome burns.
Sophomore running back James Sims looks for running room but finds none in the first half of last Saturday's game against Texas. Sims rushed three times for five yards in the Jayhawks 0-43 defeat. Kansas is now 2-6 for the season and winless in conference play.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
OK, so a teleconference may not have been the best platform for Gill to unleash hell. But what about one of his many, many press conferences during the week? Surely at some point Gill could have shown some semblance of being mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, right?
TRY. TRY AGAIN
"There are a lot of good things that have occurred in our football season and also with our football team," Gill told The Kansan at a press conference. "We are No.1 in the conference in net punting."
90 33 KANSAS
Well, not this season. Especially not on Oct. 11 when Gill had this gem:
The Jayhawks defense is poised to break the all-time record for yards allowed per game in one season, set by Maryland in 1994 (553). The offense gave the Longhorns their first shutout since 2005 last week. Gill isn't just trying to find silver linings. He is trying to find them in the middle of destructive hurricane.
A CHANGE IN ROUTINE
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The coaching staff said that they're changing the way Kansas conducts its practices this week and mother nature helped advance those changes Wednesday night.
The steady rain and cooling temperatures drove the Jayhawks out of their normal practice facilities and onto the indoor turf at Anschutz Pavilion.
"We got our debut on the inside turf today and it worked out pretty well," Turner Gill said. "We're just trying to keep our guys intense. We're just trying to change up the practice part of it and change the routine because I think when you stimulate the brain it does help some guys to do better."
A different routine may be able to help the running game that was supposed to carry the team through this season. After being a strong point throughout the first six games of the Kansas season, the rushing attack has become a detriment to a struggling Kansas offense.
In the previous two games against Kansas State and Texas, Kansas rushed for a combined total of 74 yards and the offense only scored a total of 21 points. While the negative two-yard rushing performance against Texas brings the numbers down considerably, the Jayhawks have averaged 169.8 less yards on the ground in those past two games, compared to their first six.
In those first six games, the defense was collapsing while the offense maintained itself as a steady force, keeping games somewhat respectable for Kansas. The Jayhawks averaged 206.8 yards per game on the ground and 31.6 points per game.
"We don't think throwing the ball 30 or 40 times a game is the best way for us to be productive," Gill said.
Following Kansas' sixth game of the season against Oklahoma, the Jayhawks have averaged approximately 23 more rushing attempts per game than passes. In its last two games, Kansas is averaging only 2.5 more runs than passes per game.
And that's just what Kansas has been forced to do. Unfortunately, like the diminishing rushing game, the passing attack that proved to be so efficient early in the season has also collapsed.
"I felt coming off of that last
game and practice Sunday, you never know what's going to happen and how they're going to show up mentally," offensive coordinator Coach Long said about the mood of the team Sunday. "But, they showed up in great spirits and practiced well. There was a sense of 'hey, that wasn't us, we want to do better."
The Kansas offense will have its chance to do better against a 4-4 Iowa State team. The Cyclones have a rush defense that ranks 108th in
the country. They have given up an average of 206.75 yards per game.
be the Jayhawks' last chance to shed light on a season filled with disappointments.
Before defeating Texas Tech 41-7, the Cyclones had allowed an average of 310.6 yards in their previous three games against Texas A&M, Missouri and Baylor.
The Jayhawks have ranted on the opportunities that lay ahead for them all season, and with two games to go in the season, they are running out of opportunities to speak about. Saturday's 11:30 a.m. matchup with Iowa State could
"I was telling those kids today, this is a great day, because it's another opportunity to get better, it's another opportunity to take the Kansas program where we want it to go," offensive line coach J.B. Grimes said.

Despite youth, Knight ready to lead the team
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
In her short time with the team, freshman guard Natalie Knight has risen to a starting spot on the roster. Wednesday night she suited up for an exhibition game against Emporia State, which Kansas won 83-61. Teammates lauded the control and poise that she displayed at the point guard position despite her age as a freshman.
"It was exciting," Knight said. "I was a little nervous at the beginning, but as the opening tip went up and our team came together, it wasn't hard to get in the flow of the game."
Knight played a team-high 23 minutes after starting the game. Though scoreless, she led the team with five assists. Adding two rebounds and a steal, Knight contributed to the 22 points the Jayhawks scored in transition.
She credits junior guard Angel Goodrich with helping her make the move to the college level.
"Every day in practices, Angel pushes me and makes me better," Knight said. "She's so good; she makes very few mistakes. Coming to practice every day and knowing you have to bring it,
Goodrich is the humble leader of the young Jayhawk squad. She not only serves as a mentor for the less experienced players, but also plays a special role for the point guards.
she's helped me from the point guard standpoint."
"She learns quick," Goodrich said of Knight. "She is getting there, every day she is looking to push the ball more and more."
Knight's success is no surprise though. The Olathe native was named KBCA Miss Kansas Basketball and the 2011 Gatorade Kansas High School Player of the Year her senior year.
She snuck into the starting lineup during the team's summer tour of Italy where she impressed coach Bonnie Henrickson and her teammates.
This season, Knight is hoping to offer versatility to the team and said she is ready to help in any way.
"Whatever my role is going to be on the team, I want to do that and to help in any way that I can," Knight said. "Whatever we are lacking that game; I want to be able to help pick the team up."
Knight and the rest of team will continue exhibition play against Pittsburg State at 2 p.m. on Sunday. The Gorillas finished last season at 16-12.
Junior Carolyn Davis, who led the team in scoring last season, said it was a relief to have a game where they had a chance to evaluate their progress.
"It felt good to be on the court and shoot around," Davis said. "It came really quick, but it was good to get out there and see what everyone had to offer."
Davis was impressed with the play of the freshmen who all played significant minutes for Kansas in the victory. The freshmen scored a combined 23 points and 14 rebounds led by guards Bunny Williams, with eight points, and Donielle Breaux, who grabbed four rebounds.
The Jayhawks showed room for improvement on rebounding. They were outrebounded 39-38 by a smaller Emporia State team. They had success, however, forcing 27 turnovers and grabbing 18 steals.
"I think they all did great," Davis said. "The posts went in and played the way we play in the post. They showed us what they've been learning all week. I think the guards were very aggressive."

THE WAR IS OVER

The SEC has officially accepted Mizzou
ANDREW JOSEPH
aioseph@kansan.com
For 120 years, Kansas and Missouri have squared off in one of sports' most heated rivalries, but that will end in 2012.
The Southeastern Conference announced Sunday that the University of Missouri has been unanimously granted membership to the SEC and will join the conference in July 2012.
"I am pleased to officially welcome the University of Missouri to the SEC family on behalf of our presidents, chancellors, athletics directors, students and fans," SEC
TM
commissioner Mike Slive said in an official statement. "Missouri is an outstanding academic institution with a strong athletic program. We look forward to having the Tigers compete in our league starting in 2012."
Missouri's exit from the Big 12 will mark the end of the school's 111-year partnership with the conference. Missouri will join Texas A&M as the second school to leave the Big 12 for the SEC this year. During the last 15 months, the Big 12 has seen the departures of Colorado, Nebraska, Texas A&M and now Missouri to different conferences.
According to Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long's Twitter posts, Texas A&M is expected to compete in the SEC West division, while Missouri will join the SEC East division.
EDITORIAL
The decision comes as no surprise to the Big 12. Missouri has been open about its discussions with the SEC during the past month. The Missouri Board of Curators' resolution on Oct. 21 to grant Missouri chancellor Brady Deaton full authority to enter into new contracts with other conferences ultimately meant

Finally, we've reached a conclusion.
Missouri: Ultimate betrayal
"Missouri forfeits a century-old rivalry. We win."
Sunday marked a historic day for Kansas and Missouri, as Missouri's exit from the Big 12 ended a two-year period of uncertainty about its status in the conference. Unfortunately, it also put a lid on a rivalry between the universities that was deeply rooted in both cultures.

University of Kansas
"
The rivalry between the two states primarily comes from the Civil War, when "Jayhawkers" from Kansas burned down plantations in Missouri, and Missouri's Quantrill's Raiders destroyed pro-Union Lawrence. The sports competition between the two universities is an extension of this emotionally-charged history.

the rivalry despite the move, but University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and basketball coach Bill Self both hinted that the rivalry might not continue if Missouri switched conferences. The rivalry was a staple of the Big 12, and it would lose too much value if showdown games cease to become conference match-ups.
It's also a betrayal of traditions. Missouri was one of the pioneers of the Big 12. As a member of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association with the University of Kansas, it was an integral institution in the history of the Big 12.

When the Southeastern Conference accepted its application, Missouri showed the nation that this celebrated, century-old tradition comes second to its financial coffers. Missouri officials expressed interest in continuing
The addition of West Virginia won't replace the strong traditions the University shared with Missouri, but we're happy to invite a university that is fighting to join our conference by the next academic year.
This follows the University's administration's commitment to the Big 12. At the same time, Missouri's exit comes after interim commissioner Chuck Neinas strengthened the conference with the additions of Texas Christian University and West Virginia University. It shows that Missouri lost its commitment to
Students ought to feel insulted by Missouri's move. Attend the remaining Border Showdown games against Missouri in force, and show the new SEC addition that it's making a mistake forsaking the rivalry. It would be great for the University to schedule games with Missouri in future years, but the term "border war" just won't ring true anymore.
A rivalry full of vitriol is now more important than ever. Make full use of it while it lasts.

Oklahoma earthquake felt in Kansas, beyond
Quakes on the rise in Midwest ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPARKS, Okla. — Saturday night's big one jolted Oklahoma State University's stadium shortly after the No. 3 Cowboys defeated No. 17 Kansas State. Fans were still leaving the game.
The magnitude 5.6 earthquake and its aftershocks still had residents rattled Sunday. No injuries were reported, and aside from a buckled highway and the collapse of a tower on the St. Gregory's University administration building, neither was any major damage. But the weekend earthquakes were among the strongest yet in a state that has seen a dramatic, unexplained increase in seismic activity.
"That shook up the place, had a lot of people nervous," Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon said.
Oklahoma typically had about 50 earthquakes a year until 2009. Then the number spiked, and 1,047 quakes

Most seismic activity in Kansas can only be detected with instruments, Steeples said. But once every couple of years residents will feel a tremor. He said Kansas would experience a 6.5 magnitude earthquake once every 2,500 years.
"We don't know when the last one occurred," he said. "Or when the next one will be."

According to the United States Geological Survey, the earliest recorded earthquake in Kansas was on April 24, 1867, when several individuals were injured. The USGS website reported that the quake was the largest recorded in Kansas, with an estimated
Nationwide earthquake drills
On Feb. 7, 2012, at 10:15 a.m., thousands of people across eight states will participate in a massive earthquake drill organized by a partnership that includes FEMA, the USGS and the Red Cross. The drill, called the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut!, is part of a nationwide effort to prepare for catastrophic earthquakes and teaches people to take cover under surfaces such as tables and desks in an earthquake. More than three million people in eleven states participated in the last drill, according to organizers, which made it the biggest earthquake drill in the history of the Midwest. It marked the bicentennial of major earthquakes that destroyed New Madrid, Mo., in 1811.
"I'm sitting in my room, and felt the shaking in my desk, my chair, the lamp over my desk was shaking," he said.
Chui said he thought at first that someone was banging on his door. He checked Facebook and found reports of an earthquake.
"It was crazy, because I never experienced anything like that before," he said. "It freaked me out."
Chui said he knew that his apartment wasn't going to collapse but was still alarmed. He said the shaking wasn't violent, but it was enough to force him to stop what he was doing.
5. 1 magnitude and an epicenter reported near Manhattan. In Lawrence it was reported several stones were knocked off a church. Other earthquakes are reported having been felt in Kansas at several points over the last hundred years.

"I was shaking, too," he said. Others felt nothing, and were disappointed when they learned of the earthquake after the fact.
Danny Chui, a senior from Olathe, said he felt the tremors Saturday night while sitting as his desk at home in an apartment near 23rd and Wakaura streets.

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA
Rescuers are searching for signs of life amid mud and rubble after a rain-fueled landslide buried homes in northwestern Colombia, killing at least 21 people.
Red Cross rescue director Cesar Uruena said between 20 and 40 people remain missing from Saturday's landslide in Manizales, 165 kilometers (102 miles) northwest of the capital, Bogota.
Uruena said that 18 bodies have been identified and three remain unidentified.
The landslide was caused by heavy rains that caused part of a mountain slope to collapse.
Rescuers are using back hoes and earthmovers to search for survivors.
MESA. ARIZONA
The architect of the groundbreaking Arizona immigration law that thrust the issue into the national political debate faces a recall election Tuesday likely to be viewed as a referendum on the state's hardline immigration policies.
The effort to oust Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce has transformed a normally quiet legislative district in a Phoenix suburb into a closely watched battleground on immigration that also features issues such as school funding cuts and state mandates on local governments.
People on both sides of the debate believe that removing Pearce would send a powerful message to the legislature.
HARARE, ZIMBABWE
The party of Zimbabwe's prime minister said 22 people were injured and property was destroyed after youths attacked hundreds of supporters gathered at a rally in a town south of the capital, Harare.
Tendai Biti, secretary-general for the Movement for Democratic Change, said the party was forced to cancel a Sunday rally after attackers stoned and beat up supporters. He said the attackers were identified as President Robert Mugabe militants, known as Chipangano in the local Shona language.
The incident came as regional mediators wound up a visit to Harare aimed at easing tensions in Zimbabwe's two-year coalition.

Syrians in the restive region of Homs performed special prayers for a major Muslim holiday to the sound of explosions and gunfire as government troops pushed forward their assault on the area, killing at least 11 people Sunday, residents and activists said.
The violence on the first day of Eid al-Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice, added to fears that a peace plan brokered by the Arab League last week was unraveling and prompted Qatar's prime minister to call for an emergency meeting Saturday to discuss the Syrian government's failure to abide by its commitments.

Connecticut airport unprepared for snow storm, stranded flyers
HARTFORD, Conn. — The headlines were brutal: "126 Trapped on Plane 7 Hours." "Another Fiasco at Bradley."
Passengers on at least four planes sat on the tarmac at Connecticut's Bradley Airport for seven hours or more Oct. 29 when the autumn snowstorm hit the Northeast, marking the second time in less than two years that Bradley has made news because passengers were stranded on the tarmac.
Air traffic controllers diverted 28 planes to Bradley because of the storm. Five were able to refuel and take off.
For those stuck at Bradley, what waited for them when they deplaned was worse in some ways: Stuck in an airport overnight without heat, no access to luggage carrying clean clothes and toiletries, no security.
The debacle raised anew questions about whether the smaller regional airport is adequately prepared for future storms, when more planes will surely be diverted. And the delays touched off more national debate, this time about the need for improved communication between airports and airlines; the type of conversations that determine when passengers can disembark.
"The airport was very, very cold and there didn't seem to be anyone in charge," said Elizabeth Halasz of Miami, a former flight attendant who was aboard the jetBlue flight.
It's far from the kind of publicity Connecticut officials were seeking for the state's flagship airport, located about halfway between the capital of Hartford and Springfield, Mass., as they work to overhaul operations with a new airport authority and attract more business.
can," said state Sen. Gary LeBeau, a Democrat from East Hartford who's co-chairman of the General Assembly's Commerce Committee.
"All bad publicity is not good. So does it hurt Hartford as an airport? Of course it does, because people will try to avoid it if they

"I'ts the opposite of what we want, which is good marketing."
The first problem for Bradley came in June 2010, when about 300 people aboard a diverted trans-Atlantic flight, originally from London to Newark, were marooned for four hours. Some fell ill from the heat. The delay prompted calls to add international travel to a federal rule limiting how long airlines can keep passengers on board.
Last weekend, one JetBlue flight from Florida and headed to New Jersey was stranded at Bradley for more than seven and a half hours. It seemed as if the airport lacked
enough people on the ground to get the passengers off the plane, said Elizabeth Halasz of Miami, a former flight attendant who was aboard the plane.
While the experience of being trapped aboard the plane more nearly eight hours was difficult, Halasz said the saga worsened once passengers left the plane. They had to camp out on cots inside the airport, which had no heat. Elderly passengers, she said, were freezing, and no one had access to their luggage until early the next morning to pull out extra clothing.
The only restaurants open were a McDonald's and a Dunkin' Donuts. Both, she said, only accepted credit cards because they had no cash to make change.

that the jump from the Big 12 was imminent.
"We came to this decision after careful consideration of the long-term best interests of our university," Deaton said in a statement. "We believe the Southeastern Conference is an outstanding home for the Mizzou Tigers, and we take great pride in our association with this distinguished league."
Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden has expressed the desire to continue its rivalry series with Kansas as an out-of-conference game, but Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has made it clear that the "Border War" will end in 2012.
"We're sorry to see a century-old conference rivalry end. Missouri's decision may have implications for fans and for the Kansas City area, but it won't affect the long-term strength of the Big 12," Gray-Little said in an official statement.
At least two University students were skeptical of Missouri's chances for success in the SEC.
Hope Armstrong, a freshman from Ottawa, said she thought Missouri would only find the competition tougher in their new conference.
"I hope they don't go in thinking they're top dog, because it's not going to work." Armstrong said. "I will say I'm going to miss the rivalry."
Deepa Anant, a freshman from St. Louis, agreed.
"I think they're going to make
fools of themselves." Anant said.
In a statement, Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger said he was not surprised by the news.
"We wish Missouri all the best in the future. The University of Kansas can now focus on TCU, West Virginia University and the other members of the Big 12 Conference who choose to be with us," Zenger said.
Kansas and Missouri first met in 1891 for football and in 1907 for men's basketball, but it still remains to be seen whether the Tigers will be able to maintain their presence in Kansas City. According to the Missouri Alumni Association, there are about 20,000 MU alumni in the Kansas City area.

Earthquake safety
Though almost all earthquakes felt in Kansas have been minor, if a major quake did hit, there are several steps that can be taken to stay safe. FEMA recommends doing the following during an earthquake:
IF INDOORS:
Take cover under a sturdy table or other furniture and hold on to the table.
- Stay from windows and outdoor walls and doors and other objects that could fall.
If you are in bed at the time of an earthquake stay there and protect your head with a pillow.
Do not exit a building while there is shaking.
IF OUTDOORS
Move away from buildings and utility poles.
Stav outdoors.

shook the state last year, prompting researchers to install seismographs in the area. Still, most of the earthquakes have been small.
EARTHQUAKE FROM PAGE 1
The earthquake centered near Sparks, 44 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, could be felt throughout the state and in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, northern Texas and some parts of Illinois and Wisconsin.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jess Burrow, left, and James Patterson, look over the damage caused outside the home of Joe and Mary Reneau when their chimney was topped by Saturday's earthquake, in Sparks, Okla., Sunday.
Geologists now believe a magnitude 4.7 earthquake Saturday morning was a foreshock to the bigger one that followed that night. They recorded 10 aftershocks by midmorning Sunday and expected more. Two of the aftershocks, at 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., were big, magnitude 4.0.
"We will definitely continue to see aftershocks, as we've already seen aftershocks from this one," said Paul Earle, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. "We will see aftershocks in the days and weeks to come, possibly even months."
Scientists say they have no explanation for the quakes. They happened along an ancient fault, although it's not clear yet whether shifting along the fault is what caused them, Earle said. One reason earthquakes are hard to predict in Oklahoma is that the state sits over a series of smaller ancient faults, rather than a major fault, such as California's San Andreas fault, he
said.
Arkansas also has seen a big increase in earthquake activity, which residents have blamed on injection wells. Natural gas companies engaged in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, use fluid to break apart shale and rock to release natural gas. Injection wells then dispose of the fluid by injecting it back into the ground.
There are 181 injection wells in the Oklahoma county where most of the weekend earthquakes happened, said Matt Skinner, spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which oversees oil and gas production in the state and intrastate transportation pipelines.
But natural gas companies claim there is no proof of a connection between injection wells and earthquakes, and a study released earlier this year by an Oklahoma Geological Survey seismologist seems to back that up. It found most of the state's seismic activity didn't appear to be tied to the wells, although more investigation was needed. The state survey didn't respond to phone messages left Sunday.
Earlesaid he couldn't comment on the relationship between fracking, injection wells and earthquakes.

Alumna looks for love on reality TV show
Cassie Rupp, 2011 University of Kansas graduate, will be one of the 22 women competing to win the heart of a southern bachelor on Country Music Television's "Sweet
Home Alabama." Rupp,
a native of Dighton, represents one of the 11 "country" women competing against 11 "city" women on the reality show. This week, Rupp, who majored in journalism, spoke with The Kansan about her country roots, what it's like to be filmed 24/7, and what she thinks about finding love on reality TV.
Penny Lane
Rupp
I was approached by a casting
Q: Why did you decide to go on the show?
person to do a show. And I've never really been into reality TV, never watched "The Bachelor" or ever liked that type of stuff, but I could not think of a reason not to do it. I heard it was a dating show, and I was like "Why not?" I already go to bars to meet guys, might as well go on television TV to meet a guy, I never thought twice about it.
Q: What did you think about country girls being pitted against city girls?
That was the best part of it. I grew up in southwestern Kansas in a town of 900, or maybe 1,000, people. So I love repp'in the country. Even though I live in California, it was such a culture shock to see the way these girls actually live their lives. For instance, when we walked in, the country girls wore their boots around, I went barefoot immediately and the city girls walked in and wore their heels until they put their pajamas on.
Q: Do you ever get use to being surrounded by cameras?
Actually, yes. It's so crazy. In a million years, I never thought I would space out or forget that cameras were there. After being there a couple of days, you start living your regular life. You don't put your makeup on right when you wake up. You lounge around all day in pajamas. You stop caring because you don't know how long you're going to be there, so you might as well just live your life.
Every time I'm on TV, I scream and look the other way and I try to get everybody else to stop watching because its so awkward.
Q: What's it like seeing yourself on TV?
Q: And how about watching yourself make out with Tribble, the bachelor?
I was like, "Are they going to stop showing it? Okay, we get it. Next scene." And they kept showing it more and more and more. And it's so weird because most of the things they show, I don't remember saying.
Q: Do you think its possible for people to find love on reality shows?
Absolutely. Before this show, I would have said "Hell no, there's no way." But now I really do think its possible. It's just like going out to the Hawk to possibly meet some guy that night. It's just another adventure you would go on to try and meet somebody. Obviously, it's very unconventional and different, but there's a chance this guy could really make a connection with one of the girls.

Protester arrested for taking to roofs

One member of Occupy Lawrence chose to occupy one of Lawrence's rooftops Saturday.
Police arrested Sean Maupin, a 24-year-old Lawrence resident, Saturday afternoon after he spent almost an hour on top of Weaver's Department Store at 901 Massachusetts St.
Sgt. Kirk Fultz said personnel from the Lawrence Police Department and Douglas County Fire-Medical used a ladder truck to remove Maupin from the roof. Fultz said Maupin was wearing a mask and had been standing on a ledge of the building prior to the arrest. Maupin did not resist arrest.
"I don't think anyone knew," Daniela Archibong said. "He
didn't tell me or anyone else."
Jason Phoenix,media representative for the group, drafted a statement Maupin made Saturday night.
"I would like to thank the Lawrence Police Department for being respectful, and recognizing my rights as a protestor," Maupin said in the statement.
According to Douglas County Sheriff records Maupin was charged with criminal trespassing and released later that afternoon on $100 bail.
Occupy members believed Maupin accessed the roof via stairs in the back of the building. Phoenix said they had not decided on a group statement regarding Maupin's actions.
Futz was not sure if Maupin would be charged with any other crimes.

Weird Al Yankovic still parodies songs

MODESTO, Calif. — For 35 years, listeners to Weird Al Yankovic have focused on his words.
Of course, that is the stock in trade for every performer whose livelihood is based on putting new words to already-successful melodies and styles, and Yankovic is the all-time undisputed champion of that sparsely populated genre.
The guy has put together a fierce backing band. Yankovic's recordings have sold more copies than any other comedy act in history.
But as Yankovic's craft has developed from the early accordion-based song parodies, through his full cinematic years on MTV and into the current stage of his career, his clever words have been paired with a equally strong force.

But as he has displayed since his early albums and continues in his 13th studio effort, the June release "Alpocalypse," the full Weird song treatment includes an uncanny reproduction of the original music. In many ways, when Yankovic takes over a song, it's more of a musical tribute than many pure "tribute" bands have the chons to muster.

"We put a lot of attention to those musical details and the band knows the drill, that we're trying to emulate the music as closely as possible," Yankovic said in a phone interview.

"The joke now is to sucker the people into thinking they're hearing the original song, before taking a left-hand turn. We get complements from the bands and artists about the way we're able to pick their songs apart, even picking up the nuances they threw into their recordings. We duplicate that exact sound the best we can."

Recycling: a low-risk, high reward option
There are four girls walking in front of me, all wearing jazz pants. This is the good part of college.
Recycling is not a complicated process.
Some of you poor souls need to go back to having your mother dress you.
As reported in a Kansan article last week, "University recycles more than paper and plastic." students have the opportunity to recycle several different types of products. Many students might be surprised at just how many different kinds of materials are accepted by the University and Lawrence recycling facilities. KU Recycling sorts out all waste left in its bins located around
campus.
I bet the FFA editor is a hottie
We hope the University community increases recycling on campus and in the greater Lawrence area. Students should take advantage of bins on campus to get rid of recyclable waste instead of throwing it away. Recycling is a low-risk, high-reward option. It's one of the easiest ways to help the environment, and it takes very little effort. Since KU Recycling sorts all material left in its bins, it's as

efficient as throwing away trash. Students who live off campus aren't left out, a recycling trailer at the west Park & Ride lot off Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive allows anyone to recycle items that might be too big for the on-campus bins.
Are girls included in no-shave November? If so, say hello to the bush!
Recycling is an environmentally friendly initiative that's often overlooked by students who find the trash can a low-effort necessity. Instead of rotting in a garbage dump, that
Find a recycling bin on campus or at the west Park & Ride lot and fulfill a good samarian's duty. Special items such as household chemicals and rechargeable batteries should also be recycled. Automotive products such as antifreeze, lead acid batteries, tires and motor oil
should all be recycled at the Wal-Mart Auto Center, 3300 Iowa St. Wal-Mart also accepts rechargeable batteries. Call the City of Lawrence/Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Program at (785) 749-2074 to recycle your fluorescent lamps and mercury-containing lamps.

Student performance should factor into grades
For the sake of credibility, I'll disclose that I've never made below an "A-" in any course at the University of Kansas, and I'll be the first to say that A-F grading is a horrible method and that the college should adopt a more holistic grading method.
There are several problems with A-F grading, but the biggest problem is its narrow measuring of student performance. How accurately does A-F grading measure students' performance?
By James Castle
jcastle@kansan.com
We're typically assigned written work, in-class and take-home exams and, occasionally, grades for discussion participation, and all of these assignments are scanned for the correct answer choice or scrutinized in different ways according to a particular instructor's tastes, such as the complexity and style of, and use

Are these not the skills employers and people in general consider valuable to the work force and to the community?
Rather than being graded with letters on individually completed projects (though these are certainly important), students should be graded on a pass/fail basis or with brief narrative evaluations, to alleviate the "A" neurosis, and their level of engagement with other students in class and with the instructor, collaboration on group projects and campus involvement. Honors could be earned through students holding leadership positions in student

It's doubtful that most employers (assuming most people come to college to advance themselves in the job market, though some do not come for that reason) looking at those graduating with a bachelors degree don't care for an applicant's GPA. Employers care that a student earned a degree from the University, was active on campus and presents herself well in an interview because she has mastered her social and professional skills. Written narratives would provide employers with expert testimony to an applicant's qualities and skills.
What about graduate and professional schools? Will they care
that you don't have a GPA? Some might. But these schools don't need to know your GPA to know you are a good candidate. Your standardized test scores, references, honors, level of involvement, volunteer work, work experiences, writing abilities and the way you present yourself inform who you are and provide more clear evidence of your intellectual abilities, not your GPA.
Student performance is much too complex and varied to be simplified by a few letter grades; performance can take many forms, and the method through which performance is measured should reflect this complexity.

KANSAS 10. IOWA STATE 13
Defense plays its best game of the season
FTHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
AMES, Iowa — With the largest crowd in attendance in the history of Jack Trice Stadium screaming in its face, the much maligned Kansas defense stepped up its game, delivering its best performance yet under second-year coach Turner Gill.
"We definitely did a good job today playing as one unit," junior safety Bradley McDougald said. "A lot of guys were out there just playing passionately."
But the offense left it out to dry, forcing it come up with big stops throughout the afternoon in the 13-10 loss to Iowa State.
McDougald said the team didn't have anything to lose.
"We were just out there giving it
our all," he said. "Coaches made a call and we executed."
The 13 points the defense allowed were the fewest allowed by a Kansas team in a Big 12 game since 2007.
It performed admirably enough for Gill to say it was the best performance he's seen in his time at Kansas.
The defense didn't let the Cyclones' young quarterback Jared Barnett exploit it with his arm. The Jayhawks limited him to 175 yards passing and managed to force three turnovers, stalling the Cyclones drives and getting the ball back to the offense.
"It's a young quarterback, so coach was talking all week long that you can see he looks down a lot of his options and he doesn't look off a lot of receivers," McDougald said.
The defense held Cyclone running back James White to 36 yards a week
after he torched Texas Tech for 138 yards.
As good as the defense played, it still showed that there is much room for improvement.
Barnett, in his second career start, routinely escaped the defense's contain on third and long.
With the pressure ratcheted up on third down, Barnett would wait for the defensive backs to fall back into their zones and a seam to appear in the defensive line. He would then take off and reach the first down marker with no defender in the area.
"Every time that they had to make a play, he made the play running the ball, in most cases," Gill said.
Gill said that was what hurt the lavhawks.
"He was the key to the game and I have to give him a lot of credit,"
Gill said. "He definitely moved their football team and is helping them to win games."
Still, with the clock ticking down and the Cyclone offense rolling, the Jayhawk defense dug its heels in and stopped Barnett from leading his team into the red zone.
They held the Cyclones to a field goal and gave the ball back to the offense.
"They played great," sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said. "They really made it hard on their offense. They were harassing their quarterback all game. I thought they played inspired and I think that's a good thing for us to keep building."

Game balls
Junior receiver D.J. Beshears: This week the Kansas coaches decided to get more creative in trying to get the ball into the hands of one of their playmakers. It paid off when he took a reverse 22 yards to the end zone for the Jayhawks' first points since the Kansas State game.
Junior safety Bradley McDougald: McDougald was everywhere for the rejuvenated Jayhawk defense with 11 total tackles, 10 of them solo, two tackles for losses, an interception and a forced fumble.
Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy: Shealy's unit played their best game of the season. The Jayhawks' game plan to stop the Cyclone offense worked for most of the game and put the team in position to win the game.

Game notes
The glass is half empty: The Jayhawks couldn't win what looked like the most-winnable game left on the schedule. It is starting to look a lot like the Jayhawks might go winless in Big 12 play.
The glass is half full: For the first time since the Northern Illinois game, the Kansas still had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long tried some rather inventive play calling to try and open up the offense; it was good to see some creativity by the coaching staff.
Between the questionable kicking calls and the prospects of a winless Big 12 season on the brink, Gill's seat must be burning up right now.

Delay of game
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb: Webb continued to struggle against the Iowa State defense. He only threw for 127 yards and overtrew open receivers as the Jayhawk offense sputtered down the stretch.
sopnonore running back James Sims: Sims had a costly fumble inside the red zone in the second quarter, ending a Jayhawk scoring opportunity.

CENTRAL METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION
The Jayhawks' return to Memorial Stadium to face the Baylor Bears at home. The Bears had lost three of their last four before defeating Missouri 42-39 at home on Saturday.
Looking ahead
Final thought
Can the Jayhawk offense move the ball under pressure? The Jayhawks have had some successful garbage time two-minute drills over the course of Big 12 play, but have yet to prove themselves against a BCS-caliber opponent. The offense got the ball in the fourth quarter with more than four minutes left and promptly went three and out. In the entire fourth quarter, the offense gained just 25 yards in the fourth quarter.
Still questioning
In the first half it looked like the Jayhawks were possibly going to pull it out. Despite winning the third quarter 3-0, the offense collapsed in the fourth and reverted to the type of play fans have come to expect from this team.

Kansas and Missouri both have mascots with histories as rich as the notorious rivalry between the institutions.
NSAS
Though the origin of the Border Showdown remains almost common knowledge for both Kansas and Missouri students, the lesser-known story behind the development and tradition of each mascot is just as telling in historical significance.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
KANSAS JAYHAWKS
Origin of the mascot name:
The term Jayhawk comes from the 1850s, during which Kansas was a battleground between pro- and anti-slavery forces, the two sides sometimes sacking and attacking each other's settlements. The term Jayhawker was at first used to describe both sides, but eventually stuck with the anti-slavery advocates and, in time, became a term of endearment. The University's football program began in 1890, and it seemed natural to dub the team the Jayhawks.
Brought to life: The Jayhawk appeared in costume for the first time in the 1960s and became known as "Jay." Then in 1971, Baby Jay was "hatched" during halftime at the homecoming game. The original Baby Jay costume can be seen on display outside Jaybowl on the first floor of the Kansas Union.
First image of the mascot: Although the bird itself is mythical, it is not one to be reckoned with. The first depiction of the bird was illustrated in 1912 by Henry Maloy, a cartoonist for The University Daily Kansas. Maloy gave the Jayhawk shoes with which to kick his opponents.
Matt Rissien, a senior from Overland Park, holds up a Missouri Tiger stuffed animal as if he were hanging it before the start of the Missouri basketball game last season.
School's colors: Kansas had originally decided to adopt the University of Michigan's colors, maize and blue, but settled on crimson and blue in 1896.
MISSOURI TIGERS
Origin of the mascot name: Missouri's mascot also traces its origin back to the Civil War battles between Kansas and Missouri. In 1864, a group of armed Columbia citizens stood guard against raids by William "Bloody Bill" Anderson, a Confederate guerrilla leader. Theseguards became known as the Columbia Tigers.
First football appearance:
Missouri's football team first took to the field in 1890 and the tiger was decided on as a mascot, in honor of the Civil War heroes in Columbia.
**Brought to life:** In 1958, a Missouri student became the first to bring the mascot to life in a yellow sheet with a paper maché head. She was also one of the first mascots in the United States to travel with the
team to the Orange Bowl.
Mascot's name: It wasn't until 1984 that the Missouri Tiger was officially named. He was dubbed "Truman" in honor of former President Harry S. Truman, who hailed from Missouri. The name came from a contest sponsored by Missouri's cheerleaders.
School colors: According to an article in the Columbia Missourian, Mizzoz's newspaper, "Records show that players at the first football game wore crimson and old gold. It's also been cited that the color blue was associated with the university in its early years."
Although amusing to think of Missouri players in Kansas colors, the school decided on black and gold in 1892.

The Longhorns exploded in the second quarter, scoring 28 points to set them up with a 25-point halftime lead. Texas ran early and often, compiling 439 yards on the ground, while throwing the ball just nine times all day. Freshman running back Joe Bergeron led the way with 29 carries for 191 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Case McCoy completed his only attempt all day for a 31-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Darius White in the fourth quarter. Red Raider quarterback Seth Doege threw for 381 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort.

After a tight first half, the Sooners broke the game open, scoring 28 unanswered points in the third quarter on their way to putting the game out of reach for the Aggies. The Sooners took their biggest blow when they lost the NCAAs all-time leading receiver, senior Ryan Bryles, for the season with an ACL tear in the third quarter. Freshman quarterback Blake Bell ran for two touchdowns and junior quarterback Landry Jones threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns.

Baylor set a school record with 697 yards of total offense in the Bears victory over Missouri. Bears quarterback Robert Griffin III reminded everyone why he had generated so much Heisman trophy hype at the beginning of the season, throwing for 406 yards and three touchdowns and carrying the ball 18 times for 64 yards and one more score. Missouri scored two late touchdowns to bring the game within a field goal, but in the end it wasn't enough to overcome the effort of Griffin and the Bears.

Kansas State went toe to toe with Oklahoma State, but in the end, they just couldn't hang with the nation's second-ranked scoring offense. Cowboys quarterbacks threw for 502 yards and four touchdown passes in the victory, with Justin Blackmon hauling in 13 receptions for 205 yards and two touchdowns. Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein kept his team in the game by rushing for three touchdowns and throwing for one more on the day.

Kansas City Chiefs bested by Dolphins
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs were coming off an exhilarating overtime victory, a hard-fought win over a division opponent that gave them a share of the AFC West lead.
With a short week on deck before Sunday's game against the winless Miami Dolphins, coach Todd Haley struggled with how to structure it. He wound up plowing ahead in practice rather than backing off and letting his guys heal up, and Kansas City paid for the decision in embarrassing fashion.
Matt Moore threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns, Reggie Bush ran for 92 yards and another score and the Dolphins walloped the Chiefs, 31-3.
"We really tried to work hard to make sure we were handling the week correctly, physically and mentally," Haley said. "I'm not making excuses for the guys, but I just think we probably tried to do too much during the week which they just weren't physically capable of handling."
Matt Cassel threw for 253 yards without an interception, but he spent most of the afternoon running from Dolphins defenders. He was sacked five times and forced to
"I felt that the guys played hard today. I don't know if that was a factor or not," Cassel said of the short turnaround from a 23-20 victory over San Diego on Monday night.
scramble nine more, his 38 yards rushing just two behind Jackie Battle's team-leading total.
"I felt like this team was prepared," he added, "and we just didn't go out and execute."
Already trailing 14-3 in the third quarter, the Chiefs tried to get cute with their field goal team and everything went haywire. Punter Dustin Colquitt, the holder, was supposed to toss the ball back to kicker Ryan Succop for a pooch punt, but only about half the team appeared to have heard the play call. Colquitt fumbled amid the chaos and the Dolphins took over on downs.
There was no disputing that.
Any chance of a comeback ended early in the fourth quarter, when Kansas City failed to convert on fourth down at the Dolphins 3. The Chiefs also couldn't score on fourth-and-goal at the 5-yard line in the closing minutes of the game.
"I felt like we were focused and ready, but it didn't happen, man. It didn't happen," linebacker D.J. Johnson said. "We have to do much better."
Davis dominates in second half

Junior forward Carolyn Davis drove into the lane, went up for a shot, but then something happened that Davis was not expecting. The ball hit a defender's hand. It was the second time in the first several minutes that Davis had been blocked.
"You don't see that a whole lot," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Davis was not the only one who struggled against Pittsburgh State early in the game, as the Jayhawks scored only 29 points in the first half.
Kansas struggled throughout the first half of its exhibition game. Pittsburg State outrebounded Kansas by six, recording 19 offensive rebounds and scoring 16 second-chance points.
"How you can force someone into 26 turnovers and they still get five more shots than you is absolutely the definition of terrible work on the glass," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Davis and senior forward Aishah Sutherland attacked early in the second half with back-to-back blocks leading, to a layup for Davis. This was the last play in a series of five straight baskets, sending the Jayhawks on a 10-0 run with their first double-digit lead of the game.
"They played at a really high level tonight," Davis said. "They were going hard and they sped up the
game and we are playing slower than our usual pace. We talked about it at halftime and we just weren't playing our game."
Once the jayhawks were able to slow down the Goorillas, they established a comfortable lead and focused in on defense. They won the game 68-43.
Engelman led the Jayhawks in scoring with 16 points, followed by Davis with 14.
Davis rounded out her performance with eight rebounds and six blocks in the game and credited junior guard Angel Goodrich for pushing the ball in transition. The Jaya-hawks outscored the Gorillas 22-0 in fast break points and forced 26 turnovers.
PITT 13 SUTHELL
"That's how we have to play; that's who we are," Davis said.
Freshman guard Asia Boyd played limited minutes for the second straight game. Boyd, ranked No. 39 in the nation by ESPN Hoopgurlz, entered the program as the highest ranked recruit in Henrickson's eight years. She did not score but recorded a foul and a turnover in seven minutes of play.
The Jayhawks have another week off before they host Western Michigan at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Big East files suit against W. Virginia
CONFERENCE
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansan.com
While the Big 12 is ready to move on without Missouri, the conference's newest member, West Virginia, is entangled in a legal battle with the Big East.
In response to West Virginia's lawsuit against the Big East, the conference filed one of its own on Friday at the Rhode Island Superior Court in an attempt to hold West Virginia to the mandated 27-month waiting period.
The Big East membership agreement states in its bylaws that schools must adhere to a
27-month waiting period and pay a $5 million exit fee before leaving the conference.
The Big East's lawsuit claims that West Virginia violated its contract with the conference and will seek damages from the university for an "improper attempted withdrawal."
"Today's legal action underscores the Big East conference's stated position that it will vigorously pursue the enforcement of its rights and West Virginia University's obligations under the conference's bylaws, which West Virginia formally agreed to and helped construct," Big East commissioner John Marinatto said in a statement Friday.
West Virginia initially filed a lawsuit against the Big East on Oct. 28, seeking an immediate exit from the conference. West Virginia claims that the Big East has breached its membership agreement by failing to maintain a balance between football and non-football schools in the conference.
members remaining.
If the Big East and West Virginia cannot reach an immediate exit settlement, this legal battle could have significant implications on Missouri's move to the Southeastern Conference.
The Big East has been scrambling to fill the void left by the exits of Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Texas Christian University. With West Virginia joining the Big 12, the Big East has just five football
According to the Associated Press, obligations within the Big 12's television contract could delay Missouri's departure for the SEC until West Virginia is permitted to join the Big 12.

New Vikings stadium vital to Minnesota
MORNING BREW
I has been a topic of debate that has defined my life as a Minnesota citizen and sports fan; new stadiums.
During the 2000s, $170 million was spent on the new Minnesota Wild arena. $289 million on the new University of Minnesota football stadium and $545 million on the new Minnesota Twins ballpark. All of those projects were worth the cost and have had a positive economic effect on the Twin Cities and the state of Minnesota. The latest controversial stadium issue involves the Minnesota Vikings.
For more than 10 years, the Vikings have sought a new stadium because the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome is unprofitable and out of date. The dome is a garbage bin with an inflatable lid; the dump of all dumps. The projected cost for a new stadium is $1.1 billion, but the expense is worth it.
By CJ Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
My resentment toward politicians intensified last week when the Minnesota legislature announced that the proposed sales tax raise to help finance a new Vikings stadium would require a referendum, and when it canceled a special legislative session to discuss a new stadium.
House Speaker Kurt Zellers became public enemy No.1 when it was reported that he emailed his colleagues to oppose the special session and said the issue can wait another year. Zellers has evaded most direct questions concerning the Vikings stadium.
The Vikings' lease at the Metrodome expires on Feb. 1, 2012, which means they could move to Los Angeles at the end of the season without a deal on a new facility.
The threat is real and imminent. Minnesota sports fans have already undergone the misery of losing the Minneapolis Lakers to Los Angeles in
1960 and the Minnesota North Stars to Dallas in 1993. Losing the Vikings would be cataclysmic.
Vikings fans have already waited for more than 10 years. In another year the cost of the new stadium will increase — or worse, the Vikings might be gone. Zellers and the other politicians who oppose a new stadium don't recognize just what the Vikings mean to the state.
According to Mortensen Construction and Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, the project would create 13,000 jobs, including 7,500 jobs for constructing the facility. The Twin Cities would become a viable candidate to host events such as the NCAA Final Four and Super Bowl. Plus, the stadium would be publicly owned.
The state of Minnesota would collect $20 million annually from stadium-related sales and player income taxes, and 95 percent of the labor and materials costs, valued at $754 million, would go back to Minnesotans.
KU
Nearly 70 percent of the Minnesota population watches the Vikings when they are on television. They are a fabric in the lives of Minnesotans and one of the state's biggest assets. Losing the
Vikings would be financially and socially devastating.
Fortunately, the legislature is considering gambling revenue to help finance a new stadium. If the Vikings leave Minnesota, then Kurt Zellers would be the next Norm Green, the former Minnesota North Stars owner who was responsible for his team leaving for Dallas. Minnesotans still revile him to this day.

COMMENTARY
Breaking up with Missouri
Dear Missouri,
I can
Dear Missouri,
I can understand why you want to move to the Southeastern Conference, I really do.
I would want to move too, if it meant being out of the shadow of Kansas in basketball and Texas and Oklahoma in football. All those years of losing and never winning a conference championship would be frustrating.
All those years of sitting at home watching a team in your conference win national championships is even more frustrating
Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com
twitter.com/mlavieri
I get it, but guess what? It's only going to get worse.
The SEC is arguably one of the best football conferences in America. It is home to the last five national champions: Auburn, Alabama, Florida (twice) and LSU. How do you plan on winning games against these teams when you can't defeat Oklahoma or Oklahoma State?
You also have to play Arkansas, South Carolina and Georgia. Tennessee won't be bad forever. Your only real chances to win are against Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
You depend on Texas for recruiting, but what makes recruits want to come to Missouri now that you can't guarantee two games in their home state each year? Your only game will be in College Station, Texas, and that's not every season. Besides, what recruits even come from that part of Texas? Most are from Dallas, Houston or Austin. If you recruit in Florida, you have to recruit against Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn and LSU.
The SEC may not be as strong as the Big 12 in basketball, but it does have Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M. I don't see you winning any conference titles there, either.
Heck, even your gymnastics team will struggle against Georgia, Alabama, Florida and LSU. The SEC has six of the last seven gymnastics national champions.
Why would you burn your bridge with Kansas City? The Big 12 Basketball Championship will most likely leave Kansas City, Mo., thanks to you, costing the city revenue during that weekend.
You have the second-oldest football rivalry in the country behind Minnesota and Wisconsin. Why would you put that in jeopardy? The athletic rivalry dates back to 1891, and the rivalry between the states dates back to the Civil War.
The reason for the move is merely because of money — about $2 million more per year. Does a few million sound like a reason to move conferences just to lose games? I don't think so.
These are all problems for you, not for the rest of the Big 12. Nobody actually cares about you leaving because all you do is cause drama. You started all this conference realignment hoopla when you wanted to go to the Big Ten, but when Nebraska went and you didn't, you cried foul.
You can take your money. But you won't realize how good you had it until you're gone.
Just remember, you "have won no championships of any kind," as one Jayhawk fan at the Occupy Denver protest said.
Don't call Kansas. Kansas will call you.

Freshman running back Darrian Miller looks at the end zone while being tackled by Iowa State defense during the fourth quarter of the game in Jack Trice Stadium at Iowa State. Kansas lost to Iowa State 10-13
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
AMES, Iowa — After being firmly put away in their previous four Big 12 games, the Jayhawks finally had an opportunity to put a notch in the win column for conference play. Instead of jumping on the multiple chances to take control of the game, the Jayhawks let their opening pass by, once again finishing on the losing end of a Big 12 game.
Coach Turner Gill made the decision on fourth and goal at the Cyclones' two-yard line to kick a field goal and tie the game at 10-10 with a little more than five minutes left in the third quarter. While it was the safe choice for Gill, it was also one that ultimately led to the Jayhawks' 13-10 defeat, as they gained
only 20 yards of offense following the field goal.
Freshman running back Darrian
"I felt like we should've run it up the middle," junior receiver D.J. Beshears said of the play.
Miller said a surge from the Iowa State defensive line pushed Webb off his normal path on the play. Miller said that he thought Webb was going to score on the play, so he went ahead to go block instead of staying back as a choice for the pitch. He said the blown play was his fault.
While it's not unusual for an offensive player to be upset with such a call, the Jayhawk's set of plays leading up to the field goal explains why Gill would be hesitant to trust his offense.
After having first and goal on the four-yard line, Kansas found itself on the one-yard line on third down. The Jayhawks ran an option that went awry, as sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb had to run backwards before salvaging the play to a one-yard loss. The blown play set Kansas up to take the field goal and tie, rather than go for the lead.
"Back when I was on offense, if there was ever a situation like fourth and one, I'm going to tell our coach to go for it," Opurum said. "A lot of times, guys on offense don't know what's best for the
Junior defensive end and former running back Toben Opurum has been on both sides of a short yardage situation. He said the offensive guys were most likely wanting to go for it, but that doesn't mean it was the right play call for Gill and the staff.
team. Sometimes, it's just smart to take the points when you can get them."
Kicking the 19-yard field goal was sophomore punter Ron Doherty, who came in following two missed field goals from the starting freshman kicker Alex Mueller.
Mueller's first miss came on the heels of another controversial play calling choice from Gill. The Jayhawks were on the Cyclones 32-yard line and only needed five yards for the first down. Instead, Gill sent a kicker who had not made a field goal longer than 32-yards this season to attempt a 49-yard kick.
"We thought he was definitely in his range to make it," Gill said.
Yet Mueller has only kicked two field goals longer than 40-yards this season and he missed them both. Mueller had the kick blocked, and
the Jayhawks kept their lead at 10-3 early in the second quarter. Mueller then missed a 36-yard field goal on the following possession.
In a game that was decided by only three points, the missed field goals and the goal line mishap kept needed points for Kansas off the scoreboard. The loss knocked Kansas out of bowl eligibility, dropping its record to 2-7 on the year and 0-6 in Big 12 play.
"Obviously that was our big goal for the year," Webb said of making a bowl game. "But we've got a chance to ultimately win November. We're going to come out every game and just take it one game at a time, that's all you can do at this point in the season. Not all is lost."

Jayhawks nearly upset conference leader
MATT GALLOWAY
Even residing at the bottom of the Big 12 this season, the Kansas volleyball team came close to upsetting the first place Texas Lornhorns on Saturday.

But in a game swung by moment tum, the Longhorns seized it in the decisive fifth set to leave Lawrence with a victory.

The No. 9 Longhorns (16-4, 9-1) overcame what appeared to be a serious leg injury to their star freshman Khat Bell to defeat the jayhawks (13-12, 1-11) in five sets: 25-20, 18-25, 25-19, 16-25 and 15-8.
"We had it. I felt it the whole game," Kansas sophomore setter Erin McNorton said. "We were all so excited. In the intermission in the locker room there was a great feeling. But we just couldn't pull it out in the end."
From left, freshman outside hitter Chelsea Albers, senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield and junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree huddle to go over the strategy of the next play during the game against Texas Saturday.
Two service errors in the shortened fifth set undid the Jayhawks, who looked much different from the team that dominated the Longhorns by a nine-point margin in the fourth. One of those serves from sophomore defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu was just inches away from being an ace.
"To Jaime's credit, that was a very aggressive miss," coach Ray Bechard said. "We weren't stopping their attacks, and we felt we
had to create something with our serve. But yeah, two missed serves in a 15 point game is unacceptable."
The Longhorns seized the first set by taking the last four points, capitalizing on an attack error by senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield for the victory. Bell, a middle blocker for Texas, had five kills and no errors in the first.
NICK SMITH/KANSAN
Bell would add another kill early in the second before suffering a left leg injury that would stop play. Bell was carried off the court and when play resumed, the Jayhawks took advantage of the flustered Longhorns, going on a 5-0 run late with McNorton serving. McNorton capped the run with an ace and Kansas took the second set, 25-18, on a kill from sophomore middle blocker Caroline jarmoc.
McNorton, playing in a pinch-server role this season, has been key to many Kansas runs like the one in the second on Saturday.
"It seems like she's a serving specialist," Mayfield said. "She was cold and she did a great job of coming in and putting some serves in."
The layhawks were all smiles in the huddle after the third set, which they lost by six points. With its back against the wall, Kansas railed off six consecutive points with Mathieu serving.
"When that last point dropped and we were switching sides, we all were in the huddle and we knew we had the momentum," Mayfield said. "They were on their heels."
Texas reboubled to take the game, but Mayfield said some players for Kansas made big strides
in the loss, Freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton finished with a career-high 15 kills. Bechard said he was proud of her performance. As the season winds down, the Jayhawks are focusing on the development of their younger players and maintaining the effort level they
displayed on Saturday night.
"You keep chopping wood, you keep sawing, you keep getting the same effort and you'll get a result sooner or later," Bechard said.

Previously approved graphic labels on cigarettes overturned
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

A new requirement for graphic labels on cigarette packages was blocked by a U.S. district judge Monday, the Associated Press reported.

The labels, approved by the Food and Drug Administration, would have featured images of healthy lungs next to smoker's lungs, cigarette smoke close to an infant's face and a dead smoker on an autopsy table, among others.
Whether using hookah, chew, cigars or cigarettes, most students face the issues of the use of tobacco and its risks at some point during their years at the University.
Current smokers are aware of the risks associated with their habits. Jerry Goscha, a junior from Salina, smokes 10 roffled cigarettes daily.
"It seems that nonsmokers are ignorant that we are aware of the ramifications of smoking," Goscha said. "We think about it. We're not oblivious to the fact that we're slowly killing ourselves."
Having quit for six months a fe
years ago, Goscha, similar to many smokers, hopes that he will be able to quit again someday.
"We like to think so, but none of us really know," he said. "A big part of it is the social aspect."
Sean Ryan, a graduate student from Prairie Village, just quit smoking in December after smoking for 14 years, beginning when he was 15 years old.
"It was hard to ride bikes for long distances, and I was sick all the time." Ryan said. "I didn't want to keep living that unhealthy lifestyle."
Although Ryan had tried to quit before, his motivation was greater this time because he was about to turn 30. Quitting cold turkey, he feels like he has a good handle on the habit even if he has cheated every once in a while.
"When you go from smoking a pack a day to one cigarette every few months, I feel that's an accomplishment," he said.

Pet adoption not always the answer
KAYLA MITCHELL

Two fuzzy blurs of fur speed by as Drew Perry, a senior from Wichita, watches with a smile. Perry's cats, Mr. Rumples and Kristopherson, energetically wrestle one another before crashing into a table, sending papers flying. They look healthy.
But a moment later, Perry stops the cats and pulls out a long syringe, the "Pill Popper", sticking it down Mr. Rumples' throat as the cat resists with more strength than one would expect. The process is not an easy one.
Two months ago, Perry said his cats caught an intestinal virus that he initially thought could be treated. However, seven veterinarian visits, four medications and an $1,100 bill later, he still does not have an answer.
"The scariest part was the uncertainty and not knowing whether I was going to have my
cats after this," he said. "If my parents had not helped me pay for the costs, the cats would have gone back to the shelter, or worse, put to sleep."
In addition to the initial cost of adoption, the first year of owning a pet includes many more expenses, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). The extra costs, which consist of food, litter, toys and other accessories, can range from an estimated $1,300 to $1,850 for dogs, depending on the size, and $1,035 for cats.
The reality is that many people often underestimate the costs of owning a pet, resulting in animals being returned to shelters, said Dori Villalon, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society.
After that, Villalon said, dogs and cats can cost up to $500 to

Responsive Internet provider
icummings@kansan.com
Internet service in student housing should be moving faster this fall. If it isn't, students may want to call and complain, because that seems to be working.
Jack Martin, director of strategic communications for the University, said he was aware that some students living in residence halls and scholarship halls complained about their Internet service early this semester.
"Apogee has been really responsive to that," he said. "They have a really good customer service process."
Nick Coamey, a freshman from Chicago, said he purchased Apogee's basic Internet package because he doesn't use the Internet very much.
Apogee, Inc., the Austin, Texas-based internet provider for student housing, increased the bandwidth it provides to students in October in response to continued complaints about slow connections, according to a statement from Apogee and released through the University's Office of Public Affairs. That increase came after Apogee doubled its base speeds in late summer, also in response to student concerns.
The base speed is now eight megabits per second (Mbps), with speeds of 15 and 20 Mbps available for those who will pay for upgrades, said Michael McCormick, a spokesman for Apogege. He said the upgrades represented no additional cost to students and would be in place until wireless upgrades are completed next year.
"Some people on my floor will complain about their Internet, but I've had no problems with it," he said. "It's the perfect speed."
STUDENT HOUSING INTERNET UPGRADES
OLD SPEED (as advertised at www.myresnet.com) NEW SPEED (as of October)
Basic Package $98/semester 1 Mbps (megabytes per second) 8 Mbps
Middle Package $138/semester 10 Mbps 15 Mbps
Top Package $158/semester 15 Mbps 20 Mbps
SOURCE: APOGEE, UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Those increases are not yet reflected on Apogee's online menu (www.myresnet.com), which still advertises a base download speed of 1 Mbps for residents of Jayhawk Towers Apartments. The basic package costs $98 per semester, and upgrades to 10 Mbps and 15 Mbps cost $138 and $158, respectively.
"If I needed more speed, I'd go to a higher tier," he said. "But it's been fine, so I'm sticking with that."
Apogee's middle-tier package has been "decent" for Andrew Martino, a freshman from Overland Park.
Student housing does not yet have complete wireless coverage in every building, but Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said Apogee is not at fault for the delay. For example, while all scholarship halls and towers A and D of Jayhawk Towers have complete wireless coverage, towers B and C and the residence halls do not. Robertson said the University chose to push back installation of wireless equipment in some buildings to minimize the disruption caused by extensive rewiring.

"Some buildings have 30 or 40-year-old
Wireless installation is scheduled to be completed in the remaining buildings by summer 2012.
Stouffer Place Apartments has wireless coverage through modems installed by Apogee, which plans to install a new wireless network there by August.
"I believe we're on target with both of those projects," Robertson said.
Meanwhile, a local Internet provider continued last week to seek support in competing with Apogee for customers in student housing. Joshua Montgomery, president of Community Wireless Communications (CWC), has asked the University to allow him to offer his services on campus. The University has denied that request.
"We have no plans for that," said Barry Swanson, Assistant Vice Provest.
Montgomery said his company was unfairly left out of the bidding process, in which the University invited eight out-of-

MEXICO CITY
The Mexican military says it has detained the principle lieutenant in the Arellano Felix cartel that controlled drug trafficking in Tijuana for two decades.
Army spokesman Col. Ricardo Trevilla says 34-year-old Juan Francisco Sillas Rocha was captured in the border city across from San Diego, California.
He said Monday that Sillas allegedly reported directly to Fernando Sanchez Arellano, a nephew of the original Arellano Felix brothers who now runs the gang. Trevilla said Sillas was supposed to take on the Sinaloa Cartel in 2008, when Mexico's most powerful cartel stepped up efforts to take over Tijuana routes.
OKLAHOMA CITY
The wife of a former Oklahoma prison warden was sentenced Monday to a year in prison for helping a convicted killer escape from the Oklahoma State Reformatory 17 years ago.
Bobbi Parker, 49, could have been sentenced to up to 10 years behind bars after a jury found her guilty in September of helping convicted murderer Randolph Franklin Dial escape from the correctional facility in Granite in 1994.
Jurors recommended a one-year sentence, and that's what Greer County District Judge Richard Darby gave her.
MONROVIA. LIBERIA
Violence broke out at opposition headquarters, killing at least one person hours before Liberia's presidential runoff on Tuesday, a vote that tests the West African nation's fragile peace after a devastating civil war.
Despite sharp criticism from the United States, the U.N. and election monitors, opposition leader Winston Tubman kept urging supporters to boycott Tuesday's runoff.
Demonstrators clashed with police in one rally backing the boycott, leaving one young man dead inside the headquarters of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change party.
MOSCOW
The Russian historian had always been open about his interest in the dead and eagerly described how he loved to rummage through cemeteries, studying grave stones to uncover the life stories behind them.
What he failed to mention, according to police, was that he had dug up 29 bodies and taken them back to his apartment, where he dressed them in women's clothes scavenged from graves and then put them on display.
A police video of the man's apartment in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod released Monday shows his macabre collection of dolls.

Central to the government's case were the doctor's own words from a police interview two days after Jackson's death In the 2-hour tape, Murray admitted to giving the singer the propofol — caving after Jackson repeatedly begged for it, he said — as well as two other drugs earlier in the day.
Admissions in the interview were enough evidence enough of the doctor's guilt, witnesses said. But the prosecution's star witness also said levels of the drug found during an autopsy showed Murraylied about how much propofol he administered. Dr. Steven Shafer, a renowned anesthesiologist and propofol expert, said the only plausible scenario was that Murray left a large drip of the anesthetic running into Jackson's blood after he was dead.
The doctor's defense presented to jurors an alternate theory pointing the blame at Jackson himself. Under mounting pressure to perform and addicted to a painkiller that rendered him completely unable to sleep, the pop star swallowed a sedative and injected himself with propofol — a mixture that killed him instantly, they contended.
No defense witness, however, addressed head-on a point the prosecution's medical experts repeatedly drove home: that even

TRIBUTE
'60 Minutes' mainstay Rooney dead at 92
LOS ANGELES — The American humorist Andy Rooney, who last month retired from his longtime seat on the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes," which he would cap each week with an observation about this thing or that — or more often this thing and that, and then another thing died Friday night at the age of 92.
Rooney, whose job was to be publicly himself for a few minutes every Sunday evening, was inescapably different things to different people, and even from essay to essay. On the one hand, a teller of truths, old enough to remember a world that made a little more sense, or wise enough to imagine the world in which we finally might get it right; on the other, a mean old man yelling at some damn kids to get off his lawn. (Cameron Crowe's recent documentary "Pearl Jam Twenty," about the Seattle rock band, replays at length Rooney's less than gracious remarks on the 1994 suicide of Kurt Cobain, and the generation that idolized him.)
Indeed, Rooney was nearly (or almost nearly) a senior citizen when he began his long last act on "60 Minutes" — 33 years encompassing 1,079 editions of his secular sermonette, "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney." He had already lived a professional lifetime by then, beginning as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes during World War II and entering into television in its infancy, where he would write for both entertainer Arthur Godfrey and newman Harry Reasoner. These comic and journalistic voices he would later combine in his own work, beginning in the 1960s with the video essays he wrote for Reasoner and then, in the '70s, the self-hosted prime-time specials, including "Mr. Rooney Goes to Washington" and "Mr. Rooney Goes to Work," that first established him as an on-air personality.

As highlighted in last Friday's story about parking ticket appeals, a formal process can give you a voice about whether the ticket is justified or not.
Yes, everyone saw you jump like a loser when you walked past the power plant and the horn welt off.
EDITORIAL
Only 1,001 out of 55,183 tickets were appealed to the parking department during the last fiscal year according to director Donna Fultine. This 1.8 percent appeal rate may be an indicator that the ticket writers are writing fair tickets, but it also a sign that students are not

appealing enough.
The appeal process is a powerful tool for anyone who has been ticketed. Appeal your tickets and start propagating your own justice.
Parking department employees aren't perfect, and you shouldn't expect them to be perfect. By writing you a ticket, an employee believes you violated a parking regulation. That conviction can and should be challenged if you believe otherwise.
The Court of Parking Appeals is comprised of five members. They're law students appointed by the dean of the law school who appoint 20 to 25 students as judges of the court on a volunteer basis. The court is taken seriously and decisions are law-binding.
A $5 processing fee will be assessed on you if you lose a case that accepted for hearing, but it's a small price to pay for the court experience and the chance to not pay sometimes-expensive ticket fees.
Sometimes the circumstances surrounding the ticket are understandable. A driver may commit a mistake, but is ticketed heavily for not knowing or misinterpreting the regulations. The Court of Parking Appeals exists to hear about mistakes of the ticketer and the ticketed.
Even though a court trial may seem trivial for a parking ticket, it provides you a chance for you to win justice, gain a courtroom experience, and learn how to build a case for yourself.
If your case is accepted for a hearing and you filed for a written or "Ex Parte" appeal, it will be taken care of with judges examining your written statement. This is good if you feel your case is exceptionally strong and you don't want to or can't take the time to appear at court. If you chose a personal
case in front of three judges.
If you get a parking ticket and you feel that it's unfair, or that you deserve a mild penalty, file an appeal form online at www.parkingku.edu/applirm.shtml. On the form, you can choose if you want to submit a written appeal, which will let two judges decide the outcome. Or if you would like a personal hearing where you will work with an appointed University law student who will represent your

Squirrel problem on campus needs fixing
Now, I know that a lot of you may be thinking something along these lines: What squirrel problem? Squirrels are cute, fuzzy and incredibly harmless.
I wish I could agree with you, but you couldn't be further from the truth. It's time to face the fact that our campus is being overrun by squirrels at an alarming rate. They're everywhere we look, scurrying up tree trunks, leaping from branch to branch, and even stampeing across our beloved Jayhawk Boulevard.
The intelligence I have obtained leads me to believe that they are indigenous to this area and were most likely here hundreds, maybe even thousands of years before the white man crossed the Mississippi. The squirrels on our campus are of the gray squirrel sub-species, and stand at about 8 to 10 inches when fully erect. The females give birth twice a year to litters of about four ferocious baby squirrels.
I'm not trying to be a fear monger, but we should all be deathly afraid of these squirrels. While they are tiny, they pack quite a punch, especially when attacking in groups. You may assume that they'll soon be going into hibernation for the winter, but you know what assuming does. Those big, bushy tails allow them to keep warm in sub-zero temperatures and continue mauling innocent pedestrians on the way home from sleeping through philosophy lecture.
Many people on campus are prone to the common myth that "they're more afraid of you than you are of them". Unfortunately, that is wives' tale. While it's pleasant to believe, it is misleading and dangerous. A better maxim to believe is that "they're not afraid of you, and will not hesitate to eat your face."
I think we can all agree that something needs to be done. I have come up with two possible solutions.
The first solution is simple. As
By Ethan Lovell elovell@kansan.com
we're all aware that our campus will soon be host to hundreds of grizzled, masculine, beard-sporting men thanks to No Shave November. The University could equip these men with three items: muskets, 'coonskin caps, and flasks of whiskey. These provisions, along with their incredible facial hair, would give these men the tools they need to solve the squirrel problem once and for all. What could be more intimidating to these beasts than a host of Davy Crockett-looking madmen with a thirst for blood and an undying hunger for squirrel stew?
POLITICS
The second solution is a bit riskier, but could be more effective. If, upon enrollment, the University issues each student a holy hand grenade, we can all defend our campus and ourselves against these foul merchants of death. Anyone who has completed or is enrolled in Math 101 should be able to count to three, which will limit the number of premature detonations. If we have learned one lesson from video games and movies, it's this; if something threatens your well-being, blow it up.
It's time to stop being passive about this issue. If we let nature run its course, the squirrels will continue to romp around like they own the place. Any attempt to let the ecosystem balance itself out is ill advised and downright dangerous. Let's nip this in the bud before we all get nipped in the butt ... by squirrels.

Arguments against gays prove to be senseless
As the campaign season heats up, we liberals get the honor of smugly tuning into the weekly debate between Whacko, Eyeballs, Mr. Praying Gunhands, Creepy Smile, Father Pizza and Ron Paul. At this point they've kind of evolved into a creepy smile extravaganza, but they're still fun to watch for the sake of seeing these people try to argue their insane ideas about America (except Ron Paul — he actually makes good points, sometimes). However, there's one debate topic that just simultaneously infuriates me and bums me out big time (the dude in me, that is).
By Chance Carmichael
ccarmichael@kansan.com
No, it's not the legalization of marijuana (I already wrote a "satirical" piece on that according to some harsh critics). It's gay marriage. Gay marriage is a big issue that really shouldn't be a big issue at all — in fact, it should already be legalized. Generally my more serious University Daily Kansan colleagues (that word is so fun) tackle this issue swimmingly, but I'm feelin' fatter and sassier than usual, so I have a few points to make. First, like many other heavily debated issues, there are gray areas. For instance, the abortion argument, immigration, gun control, etc. have points on either side. But with gay marriage, either you hate gays or you don't.
It's as simple as that. After decades of arguing this one thing has become clear: There is no strong argument against two
guys or two chicks tying the knot. Right-wingers like Eyeballs and her husband Totally In Denial use harsh words like "barbary" and cite the bible as their main argument against gay marriage, but I've never seen a gay guy wielding a spear as he heads back to his fabulously decorated cave abode.
Also, the last I checked, the very first promise of the very first amendment in our constitution prohibits any law respecting an establishment of religion over another. So as far as I'm concerned, neither of those arguments are valid. Creepy Smile originally argued for gay couples to secure the right to adopt, but since he and his creepy smile have flip-flopped — probably in an attempt to impress that weird sect of super conservatives they're all jumping through hoops to impress. Whack is a prude time traveler from the year 1820 and he doesn't think gays should be allowed to be gay at all. Father Pizza, in an attempt to keep momentum, has recently come out
of the closet as a Choiceer — a term I just coined for someone who thinks homosexuality is a choice. And do I even have to tell you what Mr. Praying Gunhands' stance on the gay marriage debate is?
We need to stop pretending these are acceptable stances to have. These people — whether they personally hate gay people or not — are perpetuating bigtored hatred for a minority. There is no argument against gay marriage. Honestly, it shouldn't even be up to people to vote on. It's a civil rights issue for a minority group and it should be treated as desegregation was treated in the south. If we'd given the south a chance to vote on segregation, I'm sure there would still be separate drinking fountains down there. In the future, people are going to look back at this and say, "oh my Godrick Gryffindor, they seriously had to campaign to gain the opportunity to adopt children in a time when adoptive parents were severely needed. Boy, am I glad we're over that. Now, let's fire up our hovercrafts before we're late to Zachary Quinto and Chris Colfer's moon wedding extravaganza." Shut up. "Oh my Godrick Gryffindor" is totally going to catch on.

ACADEMICS
New campus position
JONATHAN SHORMAN ishorman@kansan.com
The University will have its first professorship in urban planning, after a $1.4 million gift from a professor to establish the position.
Alan Black, a professor emeritus of urban planning, made the commitment through KU Endowment. He has been a professor in the department of urban planning since 1981.
Additionally, Black has also given $158,000 to create scholarships for urban planning graduate students. Almost $50,000 in scholarships have been given to
12 urban planning students since 1998, a University news release said.
Black credited his frugality for why he's able to give.
"I never married or had children," Black said in the release. "I received three inheritances, I live in the same house that I paid off years ago, and I drive a Toyota Celica that I bought new in 1986, and it still runs pretty well. I've had the same car for 25 years, so that saves me a lot of money."
Black has also been active in local issues, serving on several boards. Black was also vocal proponent for the creation of a Lawrence city bus system in the
1990s, which started in December 2000.
In a statement, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little praised Black, who has a bachelor's degree from Harvard, a master's degree from University of California-Berkeley and a doctorate from Cornell.
"His thoughtful support ensures that academic excellence will continue for future generations of students studying urban planning at KU," Gray-Little said.

$600 a year, respectively. Aside from the expense of owning a pet, she said students should also consider other factors, such as one's living situation.
"We hope that all adopters first consider whether they are at a good time in their life to take on the additional financial responsibility and commitment of a pet," Villalon said. "It is also especially important for students who tend to move throughout the college years to realize that housing options will be limited."
Though thinking about these things can prepare one for owning a pet, it's often difficult to plan for surprise medical expenses such as in Perry's case.
RETURN TO SENDER
"I certainly know that there are going to be situations you can't plan for," Perry said. "However, I never expected being in one this substantial. I don't think anyone does."
While unanticipated costs cause owners to give up their pets, Villalon said landlord conflicts are the most common reason for returned animals. She added that everyone should check with his or
"Sometimes the animal exhibits a different personality than what we saw in the shelter," Villalon said, "And sometimes, it simply isn't a good match and we need to work with the adopter to find another animal."
her landlord before adopting, and, that much of the process depends on correctly matching the animals with the right owners.
Returning an adopted animal may seem like a negative situation at first, but according to the ASPCA, many shelters will, instead, encourage unsatisfied adopters to return animals. Though they will first discuss possible solutions to the problem, the most important goal is to find the right home for each animal.
The Lawrence Humane Society is no exception. Villalon said there's always something positive to be gained from a returned animal.
"When an animal is adopted and returned, we actually end up getting a lot of valuable information about its behavior that will help us re-home him," she said.
TRULY READY
ready to own a pet, Perry said. This includes considering many factors beyond basic needs, such as the pets well being and providing a stable, peaceful environment.
While it may be comforting to have solutions for an unsuccessful adoption, the best way for people to avoid a complicated situation is to make sure they're absolutely
"Personally, the most critical aspect in deciding to become a pet owner was objectively evaluating whether or not I could always provide for both myself and a pet," he said. "At the same time, I had to accept that I was going to have a responsibility that I would not like at times."
Deciding that one is ready to own a pet can be a big decision, but Villalon said there are other ways to incorporate animals into one's life.
"We get a lot of students who are interested in volunteering," she said. "That is a great alternative to get your animal 'fix' without adopting."
After all, very few students want to go through Perry's costly nightmare, as school can be expensive enough. He said, above all else, he wants to stay positive about Mr. Rumples and Kristopherson.
"Despite the temporary material sacrifice, their companionship and joyful presence in the household far outweighs the monetary loss," Perry said. "Nothing can convince me otherwise."

"The problem with social smoking is that it doesn't stay as a social smoking habit," Sarber said. "Most people don't start with the idea of becoming addicted."
Now that he has quit, he has seen his health improve significantly. He does not get sick, cough or tire as easily. However, he did not see these effects until several months after quitting, even though he thought improvement would be instantaneous.
Hookah, thought by many to be a healthier alternative to cigarettes, also presents significant health risks in spite of misconceptions. According to the Center for Disease Control, smoking hookah for an hour is the equivalent of smoking 100 to 200 cigarettes in terms of volume of smoke. The smooth, flavorful draw of the hookah pipe allows a user to ingest a greater amount of tobacco smoke without the kick that cigarettes give.
According to Health magazine, 60 percent of college students who denied being smokers considered themselves social smokers. Of those, 10 percent said they smoked at least every other day.
"That's how we all started out. It seemed OK because it was just social smoking." he said.

Ken Sarber, health educator at the Wellness Resource Center.
The program lasts six weeks, during which Sarber helps students formulate a unique set of challenges in hopes they will be smoke free upon completion. The program is free to students and entirely confidential.
Sarber administrates KanQuit, an on-campas tobacco cessation program.
"Most people try to quit five or six times on their own before asking for help." Sarber said. "Even if they're not sure that they're ready we can still discuss their options about what their best quit options would be." Sarber can be reached at 785-864-9573 or at ksarber@ku.edu.

The study calculated that every dollar spent locally generates another 67 cents in the regional economy, and every local job produced in the information technology industry generates an additional 1.13 jobs. Montgomery said a contract with student housing would allow his company to add 11 jobs. According to the city's arithmetic, that would mean a total of 23 more local jobs.
Last week, Montgomery asked the city government to study the economic impact of the University's contract with Apogeon as compared with his own local firm. The study, as delivered to City Manager David Corliss Nov. 2, said its findings were limited in scope because some
Native Americans seek student involvement
Dever said he has no financial interest in CWC, but did switch his Internet service over to the local company about 10 days ago because he was disatisfied with his former provider. He said he was paying less with CWC, at about $45 per month for unlimited use, and estimated his download speed at 25 Mbps. Dever is president of GuideWire Consulting, a Lawrence-based environmental technology consulting firm, and said he depended on his Internet connection for his business. Switching providers was a big risk that he thought carefully about for months.
Martin said it would be unfair to give another firm access to student housing now because Apogee has invested millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements.
Even so, Montgomery has gained support from some local elected officials who agree that the local economy would benefit from student dollars going to a local company rather than to Austin. State Representative Paul Davis and County Commissioner Nance Thellman have written to the University in support of CWC, and City Commissioner Michael Dever supports Montgomery as well.
On Friday, students passing by the Kansas Union could hear the sounds of the traditional Native American drum group. First Nation Student Association invited the group from White Cloud to come perform outside on the plaza.

state firms to bid on the project. Apogee was the only firm that bid for the contract.
"We're just here to get people, let them hear some of the native style of music, and maybe they'll come over and look at some of the events the group has planned." Lewis said.
Swanson said the contract for internet services was awarded to Apogee through the standard bidding process that the University has been using for more than 13 years. He said CWC could have bid for the contract in 2010, as it was posted publicly online, but it did not.

First Nation's treasurer, Dakota Chino, said the group's main goal was to let the KU population know of the presence of Native Americans.

Information on these events can be found at the Native Faculty and Staff Council's website.
"People don't believe that there's Native Americans still here at KU, most think that they're down at Haskell," he said. "That's why we're spreading awareness here at KU."
Other events the group is hosting this month include a presentation

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Players battle it out for minutes on the court
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Early on in the season, nothing is set in stone. Players are just starting to develop their chemistry so they can be successful later in the year.
Now with two exhibition games under their belts, the Kansas women's basketball team hopes they've begun shaping up a deep rotation. But at this point everyone is fighting for minutes.
"It doesn't matter if you play five or six minutes or you play 15 or 20 minutes," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We're going to grade you on how you played."
In their first game against Emporia State, 11 Kansas players saw at least 11 minutes.
On Sunday against Pittsburgh State it was a similar trend, with 10 players grabbing 11 minutes or more.
Henrickson thinks the spreadof playing time is partially due to winning by a large margin.
"We can spread the minutes out here (at an exhibition game), but I really didn't spread them out until we were up 20," Henrickson said.
One of this year's top contributors is freshman forward Bunny Williams. In both early games, Williams has been a constant presence around the rim.
"Bunny has done the best job of that," Henrickson said. "She boxes out and gets on the floor. She has embraced, 'If these older kids around me are pretty good, how can I create my own little niche?' She will post as hard as anybody."
This year the team recruited five quality players that have all seen action early on.
"We are playing with a lot more talent," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "The difference is

the talent is a lot better so we need to compete"
"I think it's important especially when we get into league play and stuff," she said. "You can't just rely on your starters, you have to be able to go to the bench and the bench needs to come in and play some solid minutes."
Along with the chemistry, Engleman knows this part of the season is for development before games in the Big 12.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks enter their last of two exhibitions aiming to prove that they belong as the No. 13 team in the nation. Without guards senior Tyshawn Taylor and junior Elijah Johnson because of suspension and junior forward Thomas Robinson because of a minor knee injury. Self's makeshift lineup looked like a mess in the first half against Pittsburg State. Junior center Jeff Withey and freshman guard Naadir Tharpe led a second half resurgence, but Self was unimpressed with the team's performance. Despite Robinson's expected return, this still won't look like Self's team until the backcourt is fully formed with Taylor and Johnson. Until then, Tharpe, senior guard Conner Teahan, junior forward Kevin Young and sophomore forward Justin Wesley will have expanded roles. Don't allow any exhibition to tell you too much.
PLAYER TO WATCH
TRAVIS RELEFORD While most will have their eye
M. JAMES
Releford
glued to Robinson, the first exhibition tells us that Releford should require some attention. Though his numbers looked just
fine after the game, Self said that he wasn't satisfied with Releford's individualistic style of play and that it wouldn't have floated during the regular season. Releford has waited for a starting spot since the summer of 2008, when he first came to Lawrence in the same freshman class as Taylor and the Morris twins. After redshirting the 2009-10 season, Releford played sparingly last season behind Mario Little, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. Now he's finally got Self's attention and the expectations that a starter at Kansas carries. With Taylor and Johnson out for one more exhibition, Releford is the off-ball guard with the most responsibility.
QUESTION MARK
WAS JEFF WITHEY'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST PITTSBURG STATE THE TRUTH OR A TEASE?
Self told Withey not to be too excited about his defensive stats against shorter players, but 10 blocks is 10 blocks. Withey altered, tipped or swatted most shot attempts when his opposition attacked the basket. It took until the second half to start producing, but once he did, Kansas fans witnessed the finesse center they had been dreaming of. He drew double teams and scored with his back to the basket. He used his length and intelligence to snag rebounds and of course, there were the blocks. A student section favorite, Withey has fans itching for a shot-blocking counterpart to complement Robinson in the front court. It would be unfair to expect another triple-double, but with another strong performance, Withey could prove that last week was no fluke.

Nine turnovers can blotch an evaluation of any player, but Tharpe's premiere wasn't entirely careless and typical of a freshman point guard. His passes zoomed and skipped into the hands of streaking scorers and his athletic ability was obvious. Starting again in Taylor's place, Tharpe will look to lessen his turnovers and find Robinson in the paint, if he can play consistently for both halves, Tharpe's a prime double-double candidate.
★★★☆☆
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD
Self has challenged Releford for months to be a defensive ace and team player. However after the Pittsburg State victory, Releford seemed to be the one player that Self was most upset with. If Releford simply does his job by staying in front of his man, the offense will come. His role is to create offense out of strong defense, but without Johnson and Taylor, Releford may be asked to do more than that.
Robinson
★★★☆
CONNER TEAHAN, GUARD
Fans knew that Teahan could shoot, but few expected his 21-point outburst against Pittsburg State. He hit both open and contested shots, yet forced nothing. When Taylor and Johnson return, he'll go back to an off-the-bench role. Regardless, a night like that isn't forgotten in one week. Teahan will start and play heavy minutes tonight, yet will continue to adduce as Self's sixth man and respected senior.
★★★★
PETER BROWN
THOMAS NUBISON, FORWARD
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. It was an impressive offseason for Robinson, the preseason All-American, but this likely won't be the game that will show it all. He's returning from a hyperextended knee, though Self said that he should be fine and that the injury is not too serious. Expect 10-20 minutes played to loosen the hinges, but not much more. This isn't the game that Self needs Robinson to shine and risk anything with the knee.
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD

JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
★★★☆☆
SEPT WITHEY, DELUXE
Withey exploded for a triple- double against Pittsburgh State with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks. Tonight, Withey hopes to back it up with another solid outing. When Robinson plays, he will command more attention, leaving Withey with more opportunities to produce. On defense, Withey will continue to anchor the middle as a center who will hassle any opponent that dares to approach the paint.

LANE RUSSELL, BOUND
A transfer from Cowley College, Russell sat out nearly all of last year after suffering an injury three games into the season. The Wichita native is now a junior and he started Saturday in the season opener against Kansas State, playing 30 minutes and leading all Fort Hays starters with 12 points. Look for Russell to see the most minutes for Fort Hays tonight.
Thomas Robinson has a huge night. Last week's injury only raised the anticipation from Kansas fans regarding Robinson heading into his junior campaign, and a big debut would send the Kansas faithful home with a smile.

Dreiling is the most experienced player coach Mark Johnson has on his squad. Dreiling, a senior, has been with the Tigers since the 2007-2008 season. He only averaged 4.5 minutes per game last season, but played 19 minutes on Saturday against Kansas State. He'll never fill up the stat sheets, but Dreiling has good experience.
KENDRICK MORSE, BOARD Morse transferred to Fort Hays State after starting at point guard for Sheridan College in Sheridan, Wyo., for two seasons, where he averaged 9.6 points and 4.4 assists per contest as a sophomore. The 5-foot-8 guard made his debut with the Tigers against Kansas State, earning a spot in the starting rotation and playing 23 minutes.

THE TIGERS WILL ROAR IF.
The stars align perfectly. The Tigers need career nights from four or five starters, a few injuries to the jayhawks, and a whole lot of luck along the way. Keeping the final within 20 points should be seen as somewhat of a victory for Tiger fans.

FT. HAYS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
After reaching the Division II NCAA tournament the last two seasons, Fort Hays State was picked to finished third in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association this season behind Missouri Southern University and Central Missouri University. Last year the Tigers captured their first MIAA Championship after finishing with a 26-7 record overall and a 16-6 mark in conference, as well as winning the conference tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Coach Mark Johnson is in his 11th season at Fort Hays State, compiling a record of 207-89, which is third on the school's all-time list. Much of last year's rotation is gone, including Dominique Jones, who was named the MIAA tournament Most Outstanding Player last season as well as earning All-American honors for the second year in a row. Coach Johnson welcomes in five newcomers this season including Tyrone Phillips and starter Kendrick Morse. Fort Hays State is finishing up its exhibition slate after losing 90-60 to Kansas State on Saturday.
PLAYER TO WATCH
KARRON MCKENZIE, GUARD McKenzie didn't start Saturday
against Kansas State, but he played in all 33 games for the Tigers last season, averaging 7.6 points per game. He was the second leading scorer off the bench, and
PETER L. ROBERTS
McKenzie
shot 50.3 percent from the field last season as well as leading the team in free throw percentage. While standing at only 6-foot-3, McKenzie still managed to finish fourth on the team in blocked shots a season ago, finishing the year with 15. He played two seasons at Independence Community College in Independence by way of Staten Island, N.Y., where he scored 12.5 points per game as a sophomore. It was a big improvement from his 4.8 points per game as a freshman in 2008-2009, and helped him land a spot with the Tigers before last season. A big season from McKenzie off the bench could do wonders for coach Mark Johnson and his team.
QUESTION MARK
WILL THE TIGERS CRUMBLE UNDER THE BIG LIGHTS?
They already have an exhibition from a Big 12 opponent under their belts, but playing Kansas State in Manhattan and playing Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse are two entirely different things. Solid play from the bench and calm nerves will be crucial to keeping the Tigers within 30 points of the jayhawks as they face a fresh Thomas Robinson making his season debut. Last week's handling of Pittsburg State silenced any rumblings of an exhibition upset from Kansas, but keeping things close tonight would be a huge morale boost for Fort Hays State heading into its season. With only two starters with significant experience at Fort Hays State, a bout of nerves from the newcomers wouldn't shock anyone and would severely hamper any hopes of a Tiger upset.

We'll miss you, Border War
MORNING BREW
The University of Kansas Facebook page on Sunday read, "Missouri forfeits century-old rivalry. We win."
But what did we win? As much as I strongly dislike Missouri (my mom always said hate is a strong word), not having the Tigers on the schedule will make every season a little less fun.
Sports need rivalries. They make games far more interesting, they create storylines and they give fans reason to be so passionate.
Imagine if the Red Sox no longer played the Yankees, or if the Ravens didn't play the Steelers. Yes, the games would still be fun, but there would be something missing. Players, coaches and fans alike would not have that one game to circle on their calendars, and that sucks.
By Max Lush
mlush@kansan.com
The truth is, Missouri was a good rival. Every playing field is pretty evenly matched, and the Tigers don't create ridiculous
sayings such as "EMAW" because really, they have some semblance of self-respect, and I respect that.
Kansas State is a good rivalry, but how fierce can a rivalry really be when it's called the Sunflower Showdown? Sunflowers aren't scary. They're either pretty or insanely delicious and addictive. I would have no qualms walking into Manhattan wearing my crimson and blue proudly.
manifest themselves in history as well as geography. I'm always damn proud to defend the Border War to my friends back home and teach them why it is so important to win the war each year.
The worst part of it all is that Missouri probably did the right thing. With the way the Big 12 loves to annually try and implode, the Tigers were offered stability. Sure, it will be nice to see them get destroyed every Saturday by the likes of Alabama and Florida, but having to go through another round of conference realignment talk and wondering where Kansas will fall not be.
West Virginia does not equal Missouri. TCU does not equal Missouri. The Big 12, from a Kansas fan's perspective, feels oddly weird without the Tigers here. Nebraska leaving hurt a bit, sure. Colorado leaving did nothing to my mental health. But losing Missouri, the loathsome Tigers,
hits home hard.
Playing Missouri in any sport, men's or women's, added something to the game. The coaches are more tense, the players play with more pride and the fans are even more passionate.
I hope the the schools can reach an agreement to play each other at least every few years, because losing a 100 years of tradition just takes the fun out of things. Kansas breathes tradition, and part of that tradition includes Missouri as much as that doesn't seem right to say. The possibility of not playing the Tigers, on any schedule, makes the school year less fun.

Conference boasts most explosive offenses
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's often said that basketball is a game of runs.
In the Big 12 these days,so is football.
The nation's most explosive offensive league has seen a number of
games turn on a big scoring spurt, a trend highlighted by No. 2 Oklahoma State's wild 52-45 win over No. 17 Kansas State on Saturday night.
The Cowboys (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) opened a 14-0 lead, which in a league like the Big Ten might seem insurmountable. The Wildcats (7-2,
This is not unusual in the Big 12 this season.
4-2) then reeled off 24 points, only to watch Oklahoma State score the next 20. Oh, and all that came before a fourth quarter that saw the two combine for 32 points.
"When you put in the personnel.
the scheme and the tempo, it's a challenge as a defensive coordinator in the Big 12 to be able to handle all the different things that people didn't handle for a long time," said Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman, whose Aggies gave up 28 points in the third quarter of a 41-25 loss to
Oklahoma on Saturday.
In a league as wide open as the Big 12, scoring in bunches isn't just a fun way to light up scoreboards and keep fans entertained.
Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden threw for a school-record

502 yards against the Wildcats, but Kansas State was still just five yards away from forcing overtime in the closing minute. Baylor (5-3, 2-3) broke its school record with 697 yards of offense against Missouri (4-5, 2-4) and yet only won by three, 42-39.

COMMENTARY
No winners in KU-MU break up
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
FAN FAVORITE
When it comes to Kansas basketball, Bill Self and Kansas have no incentive in splitting Sprint Center ticket revenues with Missouri when Kansas already sells out games there against Colorado State and Massachusetts. Now if Alden and Missouri coach Frank Haith want to come to Allen Fieldhouse every year then, by all means, let the century of basketball dominance continue.
The University of Kansas chose its Twitter account (@KUNews) to make its stance on the "Border War" known to the world.
"Missouri forfeits a century-old rivalry. We win," read the tweet.
As bold as KU's statement was, it could not have been more wrong. Missouri's departure from the Big 12 is not a victory for the University of Kansas, but rather an enormous loss for collegiate athletics.
Conference realignment has victimized the rivalries of Oklahoma-Nebraska, Texas-Texas A&M and West Virginia-Pittsburgh; however, the loss of Kansas-Missouri really demonstrates the sad truth that tradition no longer has much bearing on college sports.
Kansas football is struggling to win more than two games a season, and without a North-South conference schedule, Kansas must continue to schedule winnable games in the non-conference. The University has nothing to gain by continuing the football series at Arrowhead Stadium because it wouldn't only give Kansas an annual out-of-conference loss, but the continuation of the series would help secure Missouri's physical presence in Kansas City.
As much as I'd like to see the rivalry continue, Missouri should have realized, and probably did, that its decision along with the current state of Kansas athletics would cause an indefinite cease-fire to the "Border War."
Missouri's sense of entitlement when it comes to maintaining the rivalry is misguided, and frankly Kansas has no obligation to respect the wishes of a school that started this whole mess of conference realignment in the first place.
I don't blame Missouri for seeking stability, but it's unfortunate that the university was so willing to turn its back on 120 years of tradition. In the matter of seconds it took for Missouri chancellor Brady Deaton to sign the SEC's contract, the history that defines Missouri athletics was erased.
ROBINSON RETURNS
Missouri athletic director Mike Alden has repeatedly expressed the desire to continue the rivalry with Kansas. I see this more of an attempt to make Missouri appear as the innocent victim in the breakup and making Kansas' administration look like the bitter ex-partner left in the dust.

Robinson will play against Fort Hays State
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/udk_bball
The return of junior forward Thomas Robinson likely won't restore all order in one night.
Robinson, who was named to the Naismith Trophy Watch List on Monday, said his knee isn't an issue
and he'll suit up tonight against Fort Hays State. However, Kansas still has a few kinks to straighten out in its final exhibition game tonight at 7 p.m.
"Ild like to see our newcomers play less tight," coach Bill Self said.
Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe, a swift distributor, dished out eight assists in his debut, but also committed nine turnovers, seven of which came in the first half.
Junior forward Kevin Young, who will replace Robinson off the bench, grabbed eight rebounds, but Self said he looked uncomfortable on the floor with his new teammates.
Sophomore forward Justin Wesley had three blocks but was also charged with four fouls in just 20 minutes.
"Really, no one can afford to slack off," Robinson said. "I expect their best every night."
Self received positive reviews from his training staff, so Robinson will play with hopes of shedding any preseason rust before the regular season begins on Friday.
His addition to the lineup, even if he plays less than 20 minutes tonight, will ease the duties of everyone around him.
"It'll be nice to have Thomas in there so we can see how things are going to play out with having our best presence," Self said.
The offense is built around getting Robinson the ball in certain spots on the floor. When he's out of the lineup, the game plan changes to a faster pace that favors open shooters, not one specific post player. Now he's back and the style of play will start to look more like fans, coaches and players had expected before Robinson's minor injury.
"We've got one of our best rebounders back," junior center Jeff Withey said. "Things will just go smoother."
Tonight's exhibition will act more as the preparation for upcoming games against Kentucky and Ohio State among others than
as the blueprint for success. It will be an experiment, not a conclusion. And while exhibitions usually portray more of what won't be seen in the regular season than what will actually be seen, the Jayhawks are preparing for a more cautious first half than last Tuesday's sloppy beginning.
Robinson is back, but the revisions start with the others Tharpe, Young and Wesley to name a few.
"Id like to see those guys play a little more loose so we can see what they can do." Self said. "I just want to see total improvement."

Gill: Border War most likely finished
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
On October 31, 1891, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Missouri Tigers 22-10. It would be the first of 119 games between the two schools, making it the second oldest rivalry in college football.
And after Turner Gill's statement on Monday, it would appear that No.120 will be the last meeting between the two schools for the foreseeable future.
"I don't see us playing them in the future," Gill said. "I think the rivalry for Kansas and Missouri would be something that belongs in the Big 12 conference."
Gill's statement comes as a reaction to Missouri's announcement Sunday that the Tigers are leaving the Big 12 conference for the Southeastern Conference. His remarks erase some of the doubt about whether Kansas and Missouri will continue playing following the Tigers' departure.
His thought on the rivalry ending is the latest from Kansas officials, coming after Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, athletic director Shenah Zenger and basketball coach Bill Self all made similar statements on Sunday.
This year's Border Showdown
will break the tie Kansas claims exists between the two programs. The layhawks keep an all-time series record of 55-55-9 between the two schools, while Missouri says the Tigers hold a 56-54-9 lead in the series.
While the Jayhawks allowed 426 yards, the three turnovers the defense created nearly helped Gill win his second Big 12 game at Kansas.
Gill attributed the second week of improved play to the defense becoming more familiar with first-year defensive coordinator Vic Shealy. When, former defensive coordinator Carl Torbush's resigned in the summer for health reasons, Shealy was named his successor.
DEFENSE IMPROVING
The Iowa State game was the second consecutive game in which Gill said the defense was a positive.
Gill said Kansas' 13-10 loss against Iowa State was the defense's best performance in his two years at Kansas.
"I think after nine ball games or, with the changes at D coordinator we had, we've started to get a little bit better as the season goes along." Gill said. "I think our coaching staff did a good job
of game planning against Iowa State?
BAYLOR WILL PUT THE D TO THE TEST
The Bears have the nation's second-best offense statistically; they average 577.13 yards per game. Led by junior quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Bears provide a daunting task for a Kansas defense that still ranks last in the country in yards allowed.
Baylor brings the perfect test to see if the defense has truly improved.
"They're really, really good at every position," Gill said. "Start always at the quarterback spot — he is the key. Robert Griffin can do a lot of things. He can throw it, he can run it and he can do it with the best of them."
- Edited by Jayson Jenks
Griffin has thrown 26 touchdowns and only four interceptions, while also running for 386 yards and another four touchdowns.

"I don't like how they're leaving. They don't deserve to be in our fight song," he said. "If Nebraska was taken out, I think we should take Missouri out too."
Although the "I'm A Jawhawk" tune and off-setting claps are familiar to students, many do not know the song has lyrics. Even so, sophomore Jordan Rothschiller said references to Missouri shouldn't be in the fight song.
Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president of communications for the KU Alumni Association, said the fight song likely will not change. She said the traditions of the University are what set it apart from other universities, and with conference realignment so shaky right now, it is not likely "I'm a jayhawk" will see rewrites now or in the future.
RIVALRY
The changes to the lyrics last year replaced references to Nebraska and Colorado with Texas A& M and the University of Texas. And although the lyrics to the fight song are safe for now, the same cannot be said for the constantly changing conference.
JULIANNA TIDWELL itidwell@kansan.com
"I'm A Jayhawk," also known as the KU Fight Song, changed last year to remove references old opponents who had left the Big 12 conference. This change, which was the first in 50 years, makes students and alumni both question if the lyrics will change again with the recent loss of Missouri.

Kansas-Missouri game time moved
The announcement comes two days after Missouri announced it was switching to the Southeastern Conference. So far, there has no indication that the two schools will continue the nation's second oldest rivalry after Missouri leaves the Big 12 conference.
Currently, the series is tied 55-55-9. Missouri has won three of the four games played at Arrowhead Stadium.

One-ply toilet paper may be cheaper, but rubs campus the wrong way
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
editor@kansan.com
The quality of campus toilet paper is chaffing some parts of the student body.
"The toilet paper is so thin, it rips and it's frustrating as you attempt to tear it off the dispenser," said Michael Garrofo, junior from Libertyville, Ill. "I would never TP a house with this stuff."
Kansas leads universities across the state in toilet paper usage, consuming more than 100,000 rolls of the white stuff each year.
Steve Green, who is in charge of ordering toilet paper for Kansas said KU Facilities and Operations plunges $61,804 into purchasing toilet paper every year. The paper supplied is single ply and 100 percent recycled. Each student flushes away approximately three rolls of

Exercisers find massages, information at Rec
DANA MEREDITH
dmeredith@kansan.com
Students stopping by the Ambler Student Recreation Center Tuesday afternoon walked away with more than just a good workout.
Student Health Services (SHS) held a wellness fair, offering information on everything from how to improve stress management and eat a balanced diet to preventing back pain and achieving financial wellness.
A professional massage therapist was also on-hand, offering free, 10-minute massages, and students could pick up free drawstring backpacks, towels and nutrition bars.
Ken Sarber, public health director for SHS, said that a balanced
Becky Bickel, a sophomore from Topeka, said that the fair was a "nice surprise" to explore before her workout. She stopped by the table offering information on how to quit smoking.
"Just having balance is key, and that's what they can get out of this wellness fair," Sarber said. "We have a little bit of something for everyone."
"My mom's a smoker, and she and I have argued about that a lot," Bickel said. "Seeing a year's worth of tar from smoking was pretty disgusting."
lifestyle was vital to staying healthy, especially approaching finals time.
The wellness fair had strong student input, from being organized by an intern in the health education office to being mainly staffed by BSH'S peer health educators.
Kat Songer, a junior from Overland Park, was one of those volunteers. She was offering students tips on stress management, a focus of the fair.
"I feel like students always try to cram for tests, but they don't realize how important sleeping is to consolidating all of the knowledge and things they're learning," Songer said.
She also recommended students stay organized by making to-do lists.
Her favorite tip for reducing stress? Getting enough sleep.
"If you have a to-do list and you're able to strike things off, it makes you feel better to see everything that you accomplished that day" she said.
Students who don't think back pain will affect them might want to think again.
Karen Loudon, a physical therapist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that the health center sees a fair amount of students complaining of lower backaches.
She offered some advice at the wellness fair yesterday for how to stop back pain from forming.
- When lifting heavy objects, use your legs, not your back.
- Don't sit in a slouched position for a long amount of time
- Wear your backpack on both shoulders.
* Pack the heaviest items closest to your spine.
- Make sure you're using proper form when weight-lifting
Students who missed the fair will have more opportunities to attend a fair later this year. SHS puts on four wellness fairs every school year in

an effort to reach as many students as possible.
"We weren't going to be able to reach all of the students with one wellness fair." Sarber said. "If they see 'wellness fair' coming up over
and over, then they can start to adapt a change."

SAN IUAN. PUERTO RICO
Puerto Rico's justice secretary said Tuesday he has opened a criminal investigation against two prison guards who were escorting eight inmates who drowned while shackled in a van covered in floodwaters.
Secretary Guillermo Mozaa said authorities are reviewing pictures and videos that bystanders took at the scene to determine whether prosecutors should file charges of negligent or aggravated homicide.
Ten inmates were being driven back to prison after court hearings in the northern coastal city of Arecibo when the guards apparently took a shortcut to avoid flooded streets, Corrections Secretary Jesus Gonzalez Cruz said. A rush of water toppled the van.
Hector Serrano, who lives nearby, said he ran to the van as he saw it disappear underwater and joined another man in rescuing two inmates and the two guards by cutting a hole in the vehicle's roof. He said the guards refused to turn over the keys so they could rescue the remaining trapped prisoners.
LONDON
British Home Secretary Theresa May, under increasing pressure because of an unapproved relaxation of border controls, said Tuesday the changes had not endangered national security.
May is on the defensive because the U.K. Border Agency this summer eased controls on people entering the country. May says the agency went far beyond rules she had set out in a pilot program designed to shorten lines at British air and sea ports. But the suspended head of the border force, Brodie Clark, accused the government of misrepresenting the situation and forcing him out of his job.
May told lawmakers she would not resign and blamed Border Agency officials for taking unilateral, unauthorized steps that made it easier for people to enter Britain without proper identity checks.
She admitted it was impossible to know how many people entered Britain without adequate checks but asserted the practice "did not in any way put border security at risk."
MONROVIA. LIBERIA
An election that was supposed to solidify peace in this nation emerging from war was marred by dismal turnout Tuesday, after the opposition went ahead with a boycott despite last-minute appeals from the United States and the United Nations Security Council.
The move guarantees re-election for the continent's first and only female president who was just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but country experts worry that the low turnout could discredit Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's victory and delegitimize her government.
It's a worrying prospect in the Tennessee-sized nation of 3.9 million that experienced one of Africa's most horrific civil wars and where a fragile peace is held in place largely by the presence of some 9,000 peacekeepers.
Lines were only a dozen or so people deep in many precincts in the capital, and an hour after polls opened, many of the polling booths had no lines at all. Poll workers at several precincts said that voter turnout was as low as 25 percent.
The French president's overheard remark to President Barack Obama that Israel's prime minister is a "liar" laid bare escalating international frustration at deadlocked peace efforts — and left all three world leaders looking hemised.
PARIS
Obama, heard through an interpreter, responded, "I should to work with him every day."
Sarkozy's remarks were especially harsh for a man who has labored to improve French relations with Israel while also using France's traditional ties to Arab countries to encourage peace talks — and whose maternal grandfather was Jewish.
Some Israelis felt French President Nicolas Sarkozy uttered loud what many think in private about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Others were shocked, and embarrassed.
Through the interpreter, Obama was heard asking Sarkozy to help persuade the Palestinians to stop their efforts to gain U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state.
POLITICS
Election outcomes hint at primaries
Kentucky's Democratic governor won another term Tuesday, and Mississippi voters kept their governor's office in GOP hands — decisions that suggested many Americans were not ready to abandon incumbent parties, despite the nation's economic woes.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In Ohio, voters restored the bargaining rights of public employees, and in Mississippi they rejected an initiative that would have defined life as beginning at conception. Supporters of the Mississippi measure had hoped to use it to mount a legal attack on Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that established the right to abortion.
In Ohio, a new law that severely limited the bargaining rights of more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public employees was repealed. The defeat was a stiff blow to Gov. John Kasich and cast doubt on other Republican governors who have sought union-limiting measures as a way to curb spending.
Across the nation, voters' last major judgments of 2011 were closely watched for any hints about the public's political mood just two months ahead of the first presidential primary and nearly four years into the worst economic slowdown since the Depression.
The outcome will no doubt be studied by presidential candidates as a gauge of the Ohio electorate, which is seen as a bellwether. No Republican has won the White House without Ohio, and only two Democrats have done so in more than a century.
workers to negotiate wages but not pensions or health care benefits, and it banned public-worker strikes, scrapped binding arbitration and eliminated annual raises for teachers.
The governors' races were of keen interest to both parties. Ten states will elect governors next year, and governors can marshal get-out-the-vote efforts crucial to any White House candidate. The first presidential primary is Jan. 10 in New Hampshire.
Elsewhere on the ballot, Ohio voters approved a proposal to prohibit people from being required to buy health insurance as part of the national health care overhaul. The vote was mostly symbolic, but Republicans planned to use it in a legal challenge.
In Kentucky, Gov. Steve Beshera was easily re-elected despite high unemployment, budget shortfalls and an onslaught of third-party attack ads. He became the second Democrat to win a governor's race this year, after West Virginia's Earl Ray Tomblin.

"I think at the very least it could be two-ply," said Garofalo.
Green pointed to a few reasons for sticking to the current one-ply paper.
TOILET PAPER COST BREAKDOWN
"Alternative two-ply products would likely cost more, require new dispensers and may not supply enough paper to last between restroom cleanings in the larger KU classroom buildings," said Green.
However, other universities use a variety of paper types to get the job done. Kansas State buys a combination of single and double ply material, resulting in $2,440 rolls at a cost of $71,464.80, which translates into 3.55 rolls at a cost of $3 per student.

"We went to it because of the environmental issue," said Tonya Pentola, store room supervisor for Pittsburgh State. "We have had no complaints and it's comfortable to use. We are satisfied with the change."
The new type runs at a higher price. Each year, Pittsburg State handles 12,600 rolls at a cost of $22,6943, which unravels to 1.8 rolls per student and a cost of $3.24 per student. Pitt State also had to retrofit its building with new dispensers to handle the new material.
After comparing the quality of toilet paper samples from both University of Kansas
and Pittburg State, Garofalo said he preferred Pitt State's new toilet paper.
As far as bathroom etiquette is concerned, Garofalo had a few pieces of advice.
"I think the answer is clear. The toilet paper from Pitt State is more durable and I would pay a dollar extra to have this type of toilet paper," he said. "I use a lot of toilet paper when I'm in there."
Conor Taft, junior from Naperville, Ill., said he too would pay an extra dollar in student fees for improved paper.
"It's important to fold the toilet paper for conservation efforts and it's more efficient for yourself. That's just good manners," he said. "Also, remember to courtesy flush."
"For as many trips to the bathroom I take throughout the day, it would be a worthy investment," Taft said.

Senate preps for Big 12 meet
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH
jblakeborough@kansan.com
Student senate is in the final stages of preparation for the Big 12 Student Government Leadership Conference which will take place Nov.17-20.
The theme of this year's conference is "Synergy: A Path Towards Empowerment." Student Senate Development Director and primary conference coordinator, Kris Velasco, created the theme and has been planning the conference since he was elected to his position in April.
"This opportunity represents the perfect forum for real idea sharing to come about," Velasco said. "Numerous ideas Student Senate gets for projects comes about from this conference."
The annual event is intended to be a place for student government leaders to collaborate on ideas, concerns and solutions about governance. Velasco said that previous student senates had taken advantage of the conference to learn about ideas for new projects that can be implemented at the University.
“This opportunity represents the perfect forum for real idea sharing to come about,” Velasco said. “For example, we've recently implemented the JayLEAD program, which is a Student Senate intern program, after hearing about it from K-State last year.”
Other ideas generated by past Big 12 leadership conferences also include The BIG Event, a community service organization, based on a similar program at Texas A&M. Velasco said that learning how to run the executive staff more efficiently is another benefit of the conference. Every school currently in the Big 12 will be attending the conference, including Missouri and Texas A&M. Velasco said that Texas Christian University was also invited to attend and will be sending four delegates.
The most recent addition to the Big 12 conference, West Virginia University, will not be in attendance at this year's conference.
"Given the time constraint between their admission and the date of the conference, there wasn't enough time to plan for them coming." Velasco said.
Originally, Nebraska was supposed to host this year's conference, but when Nebraska left the conference, former student body president, Michael Wade Smith, volunteered Kansas as an alternative host. Velasco said that hosting the conference is an opportunity for the University to show off all the things that make Kansas great.
"In relation to the other Big 12 schools, KU's Student Senate has the strongest voice within the university administration," Velasco said. "All university boards and committees must be made up of 20 percent students; that's huge, no other school in the Big 12 has that."
Outreach Director Brandon Woodard is looking forward to networking and sharing ideas at the conference. Woodard, along with the rest of the executive staff, will be in attendance. Because Kansas is the host, five senators were selected through a competitive application process and will attend the meeting as well.
Velasco said that he is both nervous and excited about the outcome of the conference.
age of the University of Kansas and Student Senate that comes across to all of the Big 12 schools is a positive image," Velasco said. "If the vision I created for this conference isn't what the other schools like, it will be a poor reflection of KU, and a poor reflection of me; that standard makes me very stressed."
"Since I am the one planning it,
it is my job to ensure that the im-
Velasco has the support of the executive staff, including Woodard.
"He has every detail planned out, including a wake up call for the rooms of all the other schools coming to the conference," Woodard said.
Other items on the agenda include a guest appearance by Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.), who will be discussing his role as Kansas student body president when he attended the University and his work in helping create the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center as state representative.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, Provost Jeffery Vitter and other various members of the administration will be speaking at the conference as well.

ACTIVISM
Camps continue throughout world
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Some of the latest developments in the Occupy protests:
NEW YORK
Music and marching orders accompanied election day at the Occupy Wall Street protest at lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park.
David Crosby and Graham Nash, of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, brought a little Woodstock to the plaza with an acoustic set for about 1,000 protesters and onlookers.
"It's wild, how things line up," said Tyler Westcott, 19; a college student from Hunt, N.Y. "What you have here is the New Left from the Vietnam era — and the new left here now."
Also Tuesday, a small group of activists announced plans to begin a march Wednesday from the park to Washington in hopes of arriving Nov. 23, the deadline for a congressional committee to decide whether to keep President Barack Obama's extension of Bush-era tax cuts. Protesters say the cuts benefit only rich Americans.
The march idea was inspired by the kind of long-distance walks led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights era. Protesters say they'll overnight by camping or at volunteered accommodations.
It was election day in the United States on Tuesday, with many local races and some higher profile races being decided in several states.
Across the nation, some protesters said it was important to be part of the process, while others questioned whether their votes mean much and saying the candidates aren't saying things they want to vote for.
RHODE ISLAND
Rhode Island's junior senator is trying to harness anger against big banks with a legislative effort to crack down on sky-high credit card interest rates he calls "grotesue."
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who this week visited the Occupy protesters' encampment in Providence, is introducing a bill that would close a holephole under which credit card companies are effectively able to avoid state-
level caps on interest rates — and charge as much as 30 percent in some cases.
"This is something that has gone unchecked for far too long." Whitehouse said on the Senate floor Tuesday.
Whitehouse says consumer anger is a "live issue." In an interview with The Associated Press, he referenced the recent backlash over Bank of America debit card charges, a plan that was dropped last week. He also noted "Bank Transfer Day," held nationwide on Saturday, an effort to get customers of big banks to close their accounts in protest of high fees and what they call unfair lending practices.
Whitehouse is a first-term Democrat from Newport who is facing re-election in 2012.
BRITAIN
Many managers in London's financial services industry believe some of their colleagues are paid too much, while a majority say they are motivated more by salary and bonuses than enjoyment at work, a poll says.
The poll, commissioned by the St. Paul's Institute at St. Paul's Cathedral, found that 66 percent of the sample thought bond traders earned too much and 63 percent said chief executives of the top 100 British corporations were overpaid.
The poll results showed three-fourths of respondents saying the gap between rich and poor was too large in Britain, and 70 percent thought teachers were underpaid.
NEW JERSEY
Superior Court Judge Mary Jackson granted a temporary restraining order against the state of New Jersey, ordering police to return items confiscated from protesters in Trenton and rejecting some imposed rules.
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey had sued on behalf of protesters, who claim their freedom of speech was infringed on when troopers confiscated items they considered unattended at a memorial across from the Statehouse.
The ACLU says the state made up park rules after the protests started.

BP no longer on hook for beach oil clean up
The judge ruled Monday.
NEW ORLEANS — BP will no longer be responsible to clean up oil that winds up on shores of the Gulf Coast unless officials can prove it comes from the company's well that blew out in 2010, causing the worst offshore spill in U.S. history, according to a plan approved by the Coast Guard and obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
New oil that shows up on clean shores would be treated "as any kind of oil response," said Coast Guard spokeswoman Lt. Suzanne Kerver. Officials would try to determine where it came from. If a link to BP's now-plugged Macondo well was found, then the Coast Guard would ask the oil giant to clean it up.
The plan marks the near end of the cleanup phase of the oil spill, according the Nov. 2 agreement. Now, BP will turn its attention to restoring areas damaged by the spill that began on April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 workers. About $1 billion has been set aside for those projects, an official says.
Kerver said the shoreline plan outlines "the standard for clean."
About 90 percent of the Gulf coast has been deemed clean, according to officials. The plan spells out protocol for when an area still needs to be cleaned and when BP's responsibility for that ends. Louisiana officials wouldn't give their approval because they were concerned about what they perceived as a lack of long-term monitoring in the document.
Edward Owens, a technical adviser for BP, said the Gulf clean up was in its final stages.
"This is an important milestone in the recovery process for the Gulf Coast," said Mike Utsler, head of BP's Gulf Coast Restoration Organization. Utsler said BP has set aside $1 billion.
BP can start work on restoring areas damaged by the spill.

HEALTH
Many students report cell phone addiction
Andrea Exon, a freshman from Shawnee, said she checks her cell phone every time she gets a text in class and has already experienced being called out by one of her professors.
A recent poll done by HackCollege. com shows that college students use com's cell phones more than they think.
Ninety-four percent of students who took the poll said they text every day, and 60 percent of students who took the poll said they feel "addicted" to their cell phones. Eighty-eight percent of students said they text during classes.
Ryan Tenholder, a freshman from Topeka, said he doesn't have a cell phone and that a cell phone isn't essential to his life. He said he's better off in school without one.
"It was a small class," she said. "It was just really awkward."
"It allows me to focus more on the moment rather than someone who's
waiting for texts," said Tenholder.
There is no campus-wide policy prohibiting students from using cell phones in class, although professors and graduate teaching assistants have the authority to mandate individual policies in their own classrooms.

Kinks' English rocker laments on music life
MUSIC
MINNEAPOLIS — He wasn't as cute and playful as Paul McCartney, and sexy and dangerous as Mick Jagger or as handsome and wholesome as Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.
Five decades later, he remains a well-respected man for his sharp satire and often cinematic songwriting. While critics and fans are fond of his songs ("You Really Got Me" and "Lola" are the best known), he's fond of his travels. In fact, he's writing a book about his good and bad times in the United States.
But the Kinks' Ray Davies was the most gentlemanly rocker in the first wave of the British Invasion, an introspective soul who celebrated whimsy, nostalgia and Englishness.
"The secret of this was that it was collaborations, not covers," said Davies, who is proud of the project. "Everybody put their 10 cents' worth and in some cases even more."
After performing chiefly solo since the mid-1990s, Davies, 67, hit the road last week, backed by the 88 — a Los Angeles rock quartet — to promote a new album. On "See My Friends," Davies revisits Kinks songs with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Mumford & Sons, Spoon, Lucinda Williams and Bon Jovi.
McClatchv-Tribune
His next project could be a Kinks musical. He recently met with a writer who might pen the book. No, it won't be a jukebox musical. "This is going to be dark," he said. "It's a mixture of 'Apocalypse Now' and 'Mary Poppins.'"

Jay-Z and West's joining forces as equals would be like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones performing together in the same band in the '60s or Prince and Michael Jackson teaming up in the '80s. In other words, seemingly impossible — yet, here they are.
Jay-Z and Kanye West, two of hip-hop's reigning monarchs, have fostered a new spirit of collaboration with their new group The Throne and a massive, extravagant tour that launched last month.

Forecast dark for Penn State

SCANDAL
The forecast for this weekend is sunny here in Lawrence, but I like the pounding rain of the last few days. Rain is cleansing. It washes away the dirt that coats our streets and makes the fallen leaves around us look shiny and new.
The forecast is rain in University Park, Penn., tonight. For Joe Paterno, Jerry Sandusky and the Penn State University athletic department, this could be an opportunity to finally come clean. The pending allegations against Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State defensive coordinator, are atrocious to say the least. My

shower looks different to me now. The events that occurred in that locker room are nothing less than horrible; however, the lack of action by the Penn State athletic department and Joe Paterno are even more despicable.
By Ben Wilinsky editor@kansan.com
The winningest coach in college football history, 84-year-old Joe Paterno, turns a blind eye to the sexual abuse of innocent boys in his locker room. Surprised? Oddly enough, I am not.
I am not surprised that the
initial witness stayed quiet for so long. I am not surprised that Joe Paterno did the absolute bare minimum and then kept quiet. And I am not surprised that nothing really happened until now. Why? Because the short term is easier than the long term, doing what's right is not easy, and because lying is a poisonous habit to break.
That awkward moment when you look in the bathroom mirror and make eye contact with the person in the stall behind you.
If Paterno had stepped forward at the onset, the ensuing storm would have been a category one versus the category five hurricane that looms off the coast of Pennsylvania right now.
Jayhawk Nation has had its fair share of scandals. Obviously rigged ticket sales and Mangino's "abuse" are only light drizzle in comparison to this Nittany Lion monstrosity. Nonetheless it's important to ask the tough questions. Are we invulnerable to this spiral of silence? In the midst of a scandal, would Bill Self, our leader and the face of the University, do the right thing or would he rest on his laurels and reputation? I would like to think that we are a campus of high character and a program of elite ethics and that he would do the right thing. But I'll bet they thought the same at
Now think about our campus.
Penn State. What we can learn from this sorry state of affairs at Penn State? That the cover-up is always worse than the crime, that reputation is all we have and that authenticity is crucial to one's ability to ride out the storm. Let's hope for the sake of college athletics and this age-old program out East that someone in Pennsylvania has an umbrella. Because lately for top college officials, when it rains, it pours.

The epic fail of language
When did Vinny and Pauly D replace Webster and Roget? Popular words and phrases always change from decade to decade and generation to generation. In recent years, however, our generation has contributed to the degradation of the English language. There is a growing push to have more Americans become bilingual, but how can we be expected to do that when we can barely master spoken English?
Instead of expanding our vocabularies and aiming for eloquence, our verbal skills are focused on being hip and slovenly. We may no longer use "sit on it," "necking" or "daddy-o," but the slew of recent hip terms that have arisen in the past few years would make the script of "Clueless" sound like a Thoreau poem.
Bro, broski or brah — If we cross paths out on the town and I do not know you, this is not an acceptable form of introduction; this rule also applies to dude or chief. When I go to Hy-Vee and ask for help, I expect to find a helpful smile in every aisle, not somebody directing me where to go followed by the term "dawt."
Awesome or sick — At some point in time, these became the only two adjectives used to describe anything. Everything you saw, did or accomplished was not sick or awesome. At least awesome was meant to be used in a positive light, but when did something being "sick" signify glory?

Face palm, fail, epic fail — Perhaps the slang for which I
have the most personal contempt, this collection of terms has become so ubiquitous among young adults outsiders would think all we do is fail. Obama's stimulus plan may have been an epic fail, but an attempt to ride a laundry basket down a set of stairs hardly qualifies as epic in any sense.
TXT speak — It is acceptable on Facebook, Twitter and in a text message, not during a conversation. A prime example of our current level of laziness, speaking with text abbreviations is an insult to the expanse that is the English language. Is it that much harder to use the full words instead of LOL, IDK or TTYL?
Movie quotes — Who doesn't love "Napoleon Dynamite." "Anchorman" or the Hangover movies? They are comedy staples and some of the funniest films of our era Nonetheless, no matter how funny Will Ferrell or Zach Galifanakis may be, every one-liner they delivered has a shelf life.
Like, um, like — The epitome of squalid verbal talent. Not like in the sense of a Facebook status, but like in the sense of every other word of an unprepared class presentation where like, every, like, other word, like comes out minced between likes. Everybody hears it, everybody
hates it, yet no one makes an effort to stop it.
Words are beautiful things. They can make us stop and think or motivate us to action. They evoke emotion or anger. Words and language evolve and grow so that we may better ourselves, not so we can relegate them.
Unfortunately, our vernacular gives a representation of the time. In 2001, Merriam-Webster added "bromance" and "tweet" to their official collection, along with the pop culture definition of a "cougar".
While many remember dictionaries as a reference for expanding vocabularies, their basis for inclusion is usage. Thus, the eroding quality and simplicity of commonly used words has forced the utmost authorities in language to select these putrid terms.
The president of Webster's even called "fist bump" as the "champion of the group". This coming from the company that previously honored respectable terms such as admonish and insipid among its words of the year. How many times has quixotic or quagmire been used in daily speech by a college? student?
Slag terms come and go. Some terms are inescapable, and it is difficult to not let a few slip. They may be popular, but does not mean they are fashionable. Take pride in eloquence and use originality in speech.

First, get the facts before you make any decisions. I'm not sure what tipped you off in the first place to his entrepreneurial ventures, but maybe you should bring it to his attention that you're confused about his lifestyle. If you feel uncomfortable about saying anything, that hints already of a shaky relationship.
Two things may happen: he deals drugs or he just likes to do drugs. In either case, you need to determine if you're comfortable with these things or if he's better off with someone else.
This guy may be someone really special. Maybe you can overlook his wayward lifestyle and accept him apart from his job. That's cool, but be aware that doing and selling drugs are illegal. If you aren't going to dump him, I advise you to keep your body healthy and don't participate in any medicinal recreation. Avoid going on runs or errands with

If you aren't into the idea of staying with this guy, break it off as you would in any other situation. Do it in person. Don't give excuses or lie. Let him know that you respect him and enjoyed the time you had with him. Then don't call him again even if you need a "favor."
I'm broke and I want to keep the romance alive with my girlfriend. Can you give me some date ideas that are cheap?
Boy, can I. In order of best idea to worst idea: make out, pillow fight, kiss, hold hands, go on a walk, bake bread together, rake, watercolor paint, mend buttons, fist fight, have an eating contest.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Naadir Tharpe. freshman guard
Tharpe looked just fine in his debut against Pittsburg State, but he surrendered nine turnovers. He gave up only two on Tuesday against Fort Hays State, scored 19 points, dished seven assists and snagged five steals. Self said that he simply took better care of the ball, leading to easier scoring chances for his teammates. Senior guard Conner Teahan and junior forward Thomas Robinson were the biggest benefactors, first guy off the bench in the regular season.

Tharpe
GAME TO FORGET
Kevin Young, junior forward
Young was active around the hoop, grabbing nine rebounds and blocking a shot, but the rest of his game was pretty messy. He missed four of his five shot attempts, two of his three free throw attempts, committed four fouls in just 18 minutes played and seemed lost regularly on defense. With such shallow depth in the frontcourt, coach Bill Self will need Young to produce. If he doesn't, Young may lose playing time to sophomore forward Just Wesley.

9:23- Naadir Tharpe grabs a steal from Fort Hays State's Jason Ball. He races down court, hesitates, then blows by a defender for the easy lay in. 33-14 Kansas
8:30- Travis Releford steals a pass from Kendrick Morse and proceeds down the left sideline. He then finds an open Conner Teahan who finishes with a reverse lay in 36-14 Kansas
1:45- Thomas Robinson grabs his own rebound and goes back up with a monstrous dunk, awakening the crowd and giving Kansas a 52-24 lead.
SECOND HALF
15:11- Thomas Robinson seals off his defender as the ball is reversed along the perimeter. He then receives a short pass from Conner Teahan and finishes with an easy dunk. 65-33 Kansas
11-30 After a missed three-point attempt from Fort Hays State, Naadir Tharpe drives to the basket from the left wing. He draws the foul and finishes with a fade away jump shot off the glass. 71-38 Kansas
9:57- Naadir Tharpe grabs a steal from Jason Ball and rushes down the right sideline before finding a streaking Justin Wesley for the easy dunk. 79-38 Kansas

- Kansas improves to 8-0 all-time against Fort Hays State
- Bill Self is now 25-0 in exhibition games while at Kansas
- Kansas grabbed 14 steals, the most since collecting 18 against UMKC on Jan. 5 of last season.
KEY STATS
150 Dr. James Naismith was born 150 years ago from Sunday. If he was paying attention, Naismith's former team didn't disappoint.
5-5 Teahan hit all five of his shot attempts exactly one week after he led Kansas with 21 points against Pittsburg State. If Teahan continues his torrid pace, his playing time will only increase.
Robinson played 28 minutes in his first game back from a hyperextended knee. The injury seems like a thing of the past after his 22 point, 12 rebound outbust.

Old teammates back in sync
KORY CARPENTER
Headlines and highlights from Kansas victories this season look to be fairly predictable. A Thomas Robinson double-double or wind-mill dunk — both of which fans saw Tuesday night in the 101-52 victory over Fort Hays State—look to be the norm. However, someone has to get Robinson the ball. That's where freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe comes in, who finished with 19 points, seven assists and five steals in the win.

live night was a friendly reminder of the duo's high school days.
This is the point guard I had in BA (Brewster Academy) right here," Robinson said, playfully rubbing Tharpe's head and smiling. "A shooter, passer, a true point guard. All around."
Tharpe's debut for Kansas was less than successful last week against Pittsburgh State. He finished with nine turnovers, and according to him and head coach Bill Self, an extra week of practice did wonders. Tharpe credited fellow guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson for pushing him harder in practice. Self credited Tharpe for not trying to make a spectacular play on every possession.
Tharpe still found room for a few of those special plays, including a drive halfway through the second half in which he drew a foul before draining a fade-away jump shot, bringing the Allen Fieldhouse crowd to a roar. Tharpe said a lot of tonight's success had to do with Thomas Robinson returning to the lineup after missing last week's game due to injury.
"It made it a lot easier because all of the focus was on him," Tharpe said. "And you can see we played much, much better than we

did the first game."
Whether it was not trying too hard, as Self noted, ridding himself of those first game jitters or simply having his old teammate in the lineup, his stat sheet was turned on its head from his first game.
When Tharpe and Robinson weren't jokingly telling media members to look them up on YouTube for old highlights, Robinson spoke of the chemistry they created in high school and what might be in store this season.
"We were eye-to-eye at Brewster," Robinson said. "Hopefully that will transfer over here."

Paterno's inaction destroys legacy
MORNING BREW
In case you missed it, Penn State University is in the midst of one of the worst sports scandals in recent memory, and it never should have reached this point.
Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was indicted Monday with 40 counts of various sex crimes against young children. Sandusky had been with the Penn State football program for more than 30 years, and he is accused of using his leadership position in the Second Mile charity program to prey on and victimize at least eight young boys over a 15-year period.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
The most disturbing aspect of this whole尔德 is that not only were Penn State officials, including legendary coach Joe Paterno, aware of Sandusky's unthinkable wrongdoings, but the University took no legal action whatsoever against Sandusky.
The blame has been placed all around the Penn State administration, even resulting in the ousting of Athletic Director Tim Curley and VP for business and finance Gary Schultz, but the responsibility has to fall on the shoulders of Paterno.
mitted to have access to Penn State football facilities, and he even held football camps (for more children) on Penn State's campus.
According to the grand jury report, when a graduate assistant walked in on Sandusky engaged in sexual acts in the shower with a young boy, he reported it to Paterno. The coach decided, as professionally obligated, to report the incident to his superior, Athletic Director Curley. Paterno would have acted completely in the right if the authorities had actually been notified - they were not. Sandusky was still per-
Although Paterno did not violate any laws, it is appalling that the coach sat idly by when he realized Curley was not going to contact the police. Yes, I realize the 84-year-old coach held loyalty to his friend of 32 years, but Paterno's actions, or lack thereof, directly resulted in the ruined lives of innocent children. The bottom line is that Penn State chose to value its football brand more than the safety and well-being of children.
Paterno can say that he was acting according to protocol all he wants, but what would he have done if the alleged victim was his grandchild? I guarantee that Paterno's first phone call would not have been to Tim Curley. The degree of selfishness exhibited by Paterno and Penn State officials will forever tarnish the once-proud tradition of football in Happy Valley.
If the college football's winningest coach has any compassion for the children he indirectly victimized, he should step down from the position as Penn State football coach immediately. However, it does not end with Paterno. Everyone who helped cover up Sandusky's actions
needs to tender resignations if the school has any chance of restoring any semblance of its image.
Joe Paterno has done more for the benefit of Penn State than any individual, but it only took one terrible decision to erase it all.

Penn State football coach Joe Paterno addresses
supporters from a window at his home Tuesday in
State College, Pa. Paterno's support among the Penn
State board of trustees was described as "eroding"
threatening to end the 84-year-old coach's career.
Offensively, Kansas was judicious and methodical, establishing an adequate front court offense with Robinson, Jeff Withey and Justin Wesley. Wesley drastically improved from last week's game, scoring 12 points, recording four rebounds and blocking two shots. Wesley athleticism was conspicuous. If he can duplicate or build on his efforts, he can be a huge bonus for a thin front court that will be playing against teams with strong, talented play partners.
The absence of Thomas Robinson in last week's game was a primary reason for the Jayhawks' struggles against the Pittsburg State Gorillas. With Robinson in the game, the Jayhawks drastically improved against the Fort Hays State Tigers.
COMMENTARY
"I felt like tonight I did a better job of using my athleticism," Wesley said. "I saw a lot of stuff I wanted to work on in order to play better this game and I felt like that."
It is amazing the difference a week can make for the Kansas men's basketball team.
"It it made it a lot easier because all of the focus was on him this week, so it gave Justin and Conner a chance to show up and knock down shots," Tharpe said.
Two weeks, two games, two teams
The back court will be the Jayhawks' strength when Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson return to the lineup. Tharpe and Teahan will provide valuable minutes and make key contributions.
The back court, led by Naadir Tharpe and Conner Teahan, was able to create offense on their own. Robinson's passing was a key reason for that. His passing has improved immensely, which is important because opponents will pester him down low in the paint, leaving guards open on the perimeter. Tharpe said that playing with Robinson made it much easier for him and others. In 29 minutes, Tharpe scored 19 points and had seven assists.
Defensively, the team played well. The front court defense was stout with Robinson inserted in to the lineup. The defense yielded only 11 offensive rebounds and made life very difficult for the Tigers' front court offense. Perimeter defense also forced 22 turnovers and accumulated 14 steals.
Great players are players who make the rest of their team better. Robinson has already demonstrated that he is capable of doing that. If Taylor and Johnson can enhance the rest of the team's performance as well, then depth won't be an issue. The Jayhawks will only get better the more minutes they play together.

As the final seconds of Tuesday's first half ticked away, junior forward Thomas Robinson charges down James Naismith Court at Allen Fieldhouse; stops at the left arc of three point line, band side, and throws up a shot. The Jayhawk faithful held its collective breath, the ball rattled around the rim, then it popped out of the hoop and on to the hardwood.
Robinson smiled, the fans sighed and the half was over. The shot didn't drop, but it didn't matter much. The Jay-hawks were up by 30 points and their leader was back, catalyzing Kansas en route to a 101-52 victory against Fort Hays State.

Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III (10) is defended by Missouri defensive back Kip Edwards, right, Sheldon Richardson (34) and Luke Lambert (33) in the first half of an NCAA football game, Saturday, 9, May 5, 2011, in Waco, Texas.
Trailing by four with 31 seconds left in the game, the number one team in the nation was in grave danger of losing its perfect season. And that's when Iowa quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Chuck Long further cemented himself into the memories of every viewer, every Iowa fan and every Michigan State fan watching the game on Oct.19,1985.
The Hawkeyes were two yards short of the end zone when legendary Iowa coach Hayden Fry shocked everyone in the stadium with his play call. No one from the Hawkeyes' opponent, Michigan State, and even Long, the current offensive coordinator for Kansas, saw it coming. The call was a naked bootleg run, a fake handoff to the running back followed by a quarterback run to the outside for Fry's pocket passing quarterback
"I tried to talk him out of that play," Long said. "I said, 'I'm not that fast.'"
Yet when Long turned the corner after faking the handoff to his running back, now eight yards away from taking the lead, all he saw was open space. By the time he reached the six yard-line he raised his hand holding the ball straight up in the air and ran untouched into the end zone. Iowa won, much to the surprise of Long, who at first did not think the play would work.

"I thought I was too slow to get around that corner." Long said.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks will
try to stifle a quarterback that has no issues with speed, Junior quarterback for Baylor, Robert Griffin III, will be a helpful for Kansas come this weekend.
For three years now Griffin has had the spotlight at Baylor. In high school, he was the number one 400-meter hurdler in the country and the top ranked sprinter in the 110-meter dash. In fact, Long has been so impressed with Griffin that he compared him to Texas football legend and national champion, Vince Young.
"He's the best quarterback that I've seen this year," Long said. "He reminds me a lot of Vince Young to be honest. Vince Young was a special player and I think he even has a little bit better of an arm than Vince. Those guys are few and far between."
It's often normal for a scrambling quarterback to lack the same kind of passing accuracy as a quarterback who prefers to stay in the pocket. But with Griffin, normal is not a word that comes into play. This season he has completed 74 percent of his passes and thrown for 26 touchdowns with just four interceptions.
Last season in Waco, Texas,
Griffin dismantled the Jayhawks,
as Baylor defeated Kansas 55-7. It was the first of the blow out losses
that have become commonplace
under coach Turner Gill. In that
game, Griffin threw for 380-yards
and ran for 64 more, totaling four
touchdowns on the day.
"Oh, I remember all to well.'
And Kansas hopes that Griffin's big performance last year will help the Jayhawks slow down the electric quarterback. Shealy said when taking on a quarterback like Griffin, the defense has to take a great angle against him. He said some-
defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said of Griffin's performance last year "He is so fast into the heart of your defense."

touted quarterback, but made it clear that he is not afraid of him.
"The way I take it is, he's an other human being that wakes up just like I do: prepares, lifts weights during the week and goes to class." Johnson said. "It's just who's going to be the tougher man that day."

Senate voted 46 to 5 to change its rules and regulations to give an appointed Student Senate seat to the Stouffer Place Association. The SPA replaced the Stouffer Neighborhood Association as the student-housing-approved representative body for Stouffer Apartments, which provide residential housing for KU graduate students.
The housing action in question was Student Housing's decision to dissolve the executive board
Student Senate ensured that the 285 students living in Stouffer Apartments residential housing would still have senate representation yesterday evening. Even if the representation now goes by a different name.
Student housing director Diana Robertson

However, Seeyol Oh, former
Among the requirements Robertson listed were coordinating with the SNA organization's housing advisor, as well as signing a signature card for the student organization fund.

"I told somebody, 'I don't fight housing. I don't want to be against the SPA.'"
Oh said Student Housing asked the SNA for passwords to their list serve and email account. The board refused to provide access because the University's standard business operating procedures for student government organizations did not require it.
After dissolving the executive board of the SNA, Robertson said student housing held open forums and conducted surveys to inform Stouffer Place residents of the formation of a new group. Robertson said that once the new group was formed it held planning meetings and decided to adopt the name Stouffer Place Association as well as rewrite the SNA constitution.
Those participating in the constitutional rewrite removed the SNA's president and vice president positions in favor of what Robertson said were flatter, less hierarchical roles.
The new SPA executive board will now have six members which

Oh said that he plans to focus on improving the environment at Stouffer Apartments.
Members of the SPA attended the meeting but declined to make any statements about the situation.

APPOINTED SEATS
While most KU Student Senate seats are elected, others are allocated to under-represented parts of the student population such as those living in residential housing.
Since the association that represented graduate students living in Stouffer Place Apartments was dissolved, the name of the appointed seat had to be change from the Stouffer Neighborhood Association seat to the Stouffer place association seat.
These groups are then responsible for either appointing or electing a person to represent the group to student senate. Last night's vote involved the seat previously allocated to the Stouffar Neighborhood Association.

Memorial fund honors former student
KU Endowment is planning to administer a memorial fund in the name of Drew Anderson, a University graduate who died Oct. 1.
Anderson, 22, from Kansas City, Kan., suffered from muscular dystrophy since childhood and graduated from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications in May. Although confined to a motor scooter as a student, he lived independently at Lewis Hall and served as a copy chief for The University Daily Kansan.
icummings@kansan.com
According to Lisa Scheller, a spokeswoman for KU Endowment, the idea to establish the fund came from Macolm Gibson, general manager and news advisor of The Kansas. Gibson said Anderson, through his independence and refusal to complain, set an example to others. Gibson said he will have his annual donation directed to the Drew Anderson Memorial Fund.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE
A Saudi considered among the most senior figures in al-Qaida emerged Wednesday from nine years of secret confinement to face charges of orchestrating the deadly attack on the USS Cole in the start of a new round of Guantanamo Bay war crimes tribunals under a president who vowed to halt them.
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri did not enter a plea as he was arraigned and the court dealt with a number of procedural issues. The detainee, who was subjected to the harsh interrogation techniques that his lawyers say amounted to torture, appeared engaged and occasionally smiled as he responded to questions from the judge.
The recall affects 447,000 vehicles in North America, as well as 38,000 in Japan and another 25,000 in Australia and New Zealand, said Toyota spokesman Dion Corbett. In Europe some 14,000 vehicles are being recalled along with 10,000 in the Middle East and 14,000 in Asia outside Japan.
WARSAW. POLAND
A new left-wing party in Poland demanded Wednesday the removal of a crucifix that hangs in parliament, a move seen by many citizens in the mainly Roman Catholic country as a provocative challenge to a cherished symbol.
Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it is recalling about 550,000 vehicles worldwide mostly in the United States - for problems that could make it harder to steer.
Bala Nasarawa said he had received reports that people had been protesting, but that the situation was now stable.
The party, Palikot's Movement, filed its request with the new parliamentary speaker, Ewa Kopacz. It argues the crucifix violates a constitutional guarantee of a secular state.
The violence comes days after the killing of two women in a church of a nearby town spurred riots.
Kaduna state police chief Bala Nasarawa told The Associated Press on Wednesday that a curfew has been imposed in the town of Kafanchan and surrounding areas.
It is the party's first such appeal since the newly elected parliament held its first sitting Tuesday and follows a similar appeal made last month which went unanswered.
There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the problems, Corbett said.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
Police say turmoil has hit a town in north central Nigeria again just days after riots broke out in the area, which is beset by religious tensions.

KC woman left in chair for five days at home
Jackson County prosecutor's office spokesman Mike Mansur said no decision will be made about possible charges until the medical examiner rules on Brown's cause of death.
"I've heard it could take some time." Mansur said. "I don't yet know how quickly it will come."
A suburban Kansas City woman was left sitting in a vinyl recorder for so long that her skin had fused to the chair and she had to be pried out to be taken to a hospital after suffering an apparent stroke, authorities said.
Carol F. Brown's adult son told a state official he had left his 74-year-old mother in the chair for five days without helping her get up to use the bathroom or bathe because he was honoring her wishes to die in her Independence home, according to court documents that described the woman as a "rotting corpse that was still breathing." Brown later died.
"It is an incredible story to me," Independence police spokesman Tom Gentry said Wednesday.
Police who searched Brown's home took prescription drug bottles and pills, a section of the reciner and a soiled towel, court records show.
Police were contacted after Brown was taken to a hospital Oct. 27 and found to have a maggot infestation inside an open wound around her ankle, according to the court documents that said Brown's home was "fifth with a heavy smell of bodily fluids and feces."
Brown's son, James Owens, told an official with the Missouri Division of Senior and Disability Services that his mother had been in the chair since Oct. 23 and that he was honoring her wishes to be left to die, the documents said.
Owens, who the documents said had started the application process to gain state aid to be his mother's caretaker, said he did give the woman tomato and chicken nood soup.
No working telephone listing for a James Owens could be found Wednesday and a number listed under Brown's name rang unanswered.

Man hides in leaf pile during police search
Police investigating an alarm at a Michigan restaurant used a thermal imaging device to find a fleeing suspect hiding in a pile of leaves.
The Grand Rapids Press reports that when the man was discovered concealed under leaves in a bush in Hastings, near Grand Rapids, he ran off again — and jumped into a river.
Police arrested the suspect
after he went to a nearby motel to change his clothes. Officers found a backpack belonging to the man that contained waste from methamphetamine production and say he likely was making meth in the motel room.
The man is being held on a probation violation. He is expected to face drug charges.

The minimum amount to endow an award fund is $10,000, according to Scheller. The amount to endow an undergraduate scholarship fund is $30,000. Anyone can contribute to the fund, which is intended to continue in perpetuity. If the fund is used to provide an award for journalism students, the recipients will be decided by a committee at the journalism school. If enough funds are raised to create a scholarship fund, the recipients will be selected through the University's Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.

Rodeo bull gets head stuck in tire
ODD NEWS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A rodeo bull in Hawaii appears comfortable again after spending about 20 hours with his head stuck in a giant tire.
The 800-pound bull, named Skywalker, couldn't eat or drink after he got his head lodged in the truck tire that someone dumped at the Triple L Ranch in Maui, ranch owner Paige L Done said.
"He was uncomfortable and it took all day to get him out," she said Wednesday.
No one could get near the cranky bull Tuesday until Skywalker became exhausted enough for ranch worker Kawika Manoa to use a piece of wood to pry off the tire, which weighs more than 50 pounds. Skywalker didn't put up a fight and then went straight for the water trough after being released from the rubber ring, De Ponte said.
She didn't know how the tire ended up around Skywalker's neck, but she said she hopes his plight will raise awareness about using the rural Kanaio area, in the upcountry region of the island, as a dumping ground.
please remember that Kanaio is a community where generations have lived and prospered. Our open-range ranch has been here for 50 years and never have we ever seen such an event like this," she said. "I hope Skywalker's unfortunate predicament was more of a godsend at a time when we need people to recognize this beautiful place as a treasure and that small farmers such as ourselves depend on the public to respect us and the land more than ever."
"My message to the public is to
The Maui News first reported Skywalker's predicament Wednesday.
"They might not otherwise take the time out of their day to go seek out the answers," he said.
VETERANS FROM 11
On Tuesday, rainy weather forced the table under the dry confines of the Wescoe roof, which kept some students from approaching it, but Boland said it didn't stop KU veterans from keeping their fellow comrades company.
"Mostly other veterans have come to the table, and we usually talk about things like our deployment and personal experiences," Boland said.
Boland also said a hot topic of conversation between vets at the table is the Montgomery G.I. bill, which offers a monthly education benefit for Active Duty Members
and Reservists for completing a minimum service requirement. According to the University's Veteran Affairs certifying official, Betty Colbert, 463 University students are currently using it.

HEALTH
Living with diabetes
ALEXA RUSH
arush@kansan.com
The choices students will affect their health both now and in the future. That's part of the message American Diabetes Month is trying to send this November.
Lexi Mounts, a sophomore from Wichita, was diagnosed at the age of five. Her parents took her to the doctor, thinking she had Mono, but found out it was actually Type 1 diabetes.
Mounts was sent to the hospital where she had a blood sugar level of 600. A blood sugar level above 200, along with other symptoms, is generally considered an indication of diabetes.
Lauren Aulgur, a junior from
Type 1 diabetes was originally known as juvenile diabetes, because children and young adults are usually the patients diagnosed. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not produce insulin, which is crucial for daily life.
"The doctors told my parents if I would have waited one more day to come in, then I would have been dead." Mounts said.
Overland Park, was diagnosed in 2009 when she was a freshman. Since then, she has had to learn how to live with diabetes.
"I can't 'pig out' like others on snack on chips when I study," Aulgur said. "Also, I just recently turned 21 and I obviously have to be a little more careful when I drink, because I need to be able to control my blood sugar; I'm limited to what I can drink."
Common symptoms of type 1 diabetes include blurry eyesight, losing weight without trying, losing feeling or having tingling sensations in feet, urinating more often, feeling excessively tired or fatigued and being more hungry or thirsty than normal.
Daily injections of insulin through pens, shots or an insulin pump provide the diabetic's body with the insulin it needs to function properly. Blood glucose levels are monitored by a glucometer. Technological advancements have made living with diabetes easier than in the past.
"Monitors now are so much easier to just stick in my purse and are so small." Mounts said. "Also, when
I first was diagnosed with diabetes, I had to mix insulin in a syringe, where as now I just have it in a cartridge and dial up the amount I need and it's ready to go."
Making healthy food choices such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats, and cutting back on high calorie foods, such as soft-serve ice cream from Mrs. E's, can help in making sure that you're receiving the right nutrients that your body needs to function properly. Also, getting plenty of exercise and staying active are crucial in avoiding diabetes, according the American Diabetes Association. This doesn't necessarily mean running 5 miles a day, but simply walking to class instead of taking the bus can benefit you in the future.
NATIONAL
"Having diabetes has been really difficult, but things could be worse. I'm very blessed to have compassionate doctors who love what they do." Mounts said. "It was really hard having to grow up at such a young age, but it made me much more responsible, and that has carried on into my life at college."

Michelle offers college tips at mentoring event
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Don't procrastinate
Michelle Obama offered three survival tips to college students Tuesday:
She offered those tips during a mentoring event at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. The Office of the First Lady released a transcript of her remarks, including her answers to students' questions, later in the day.
And don't use credit.
The first lady told the students that when she left the South Side of Chicago to study at Princeton, she feared that she would not be able to compete with her peers. Through experience, she said, she learned that it didn't matter where she was from.
"What mattered even more than that was how hard I was willing to work, because I did have some deficits coming in," she said. "So I had to pump it up just a little bit more than probably other students there. But I knew that what I put in was what I would give out."
Several times, during the question and answer period, she told the students that, as adults, they needed to take responsibility
for their own future and success. She said their greatest challenge in college would be managing their own time. College, she said is a practice of management and organization.
NIC BIBLOTHE
"You are on your own," she said. "You get a syllabus and you get the date of the next exams, and then no one cares about you. But by not caring about you, I mean no one is going to be dogging you to turn your stuff in, you know? No one is going to notify you that your stuff was late."
But, she said, that didn't mean that students couldn't find help — if they had the courage to ask for it.
"You have to care about your own survival more than you care about being embarrassed because someone thinks you should have known something," she said. "That is not your problem."
She told the students to avoid credit card debt while in college. She said too many students were graduating with a credit card bill with 35 percent interest rates on top of their student loans.
"That will crush you," she said. "So, in college, buy what you can afford, which, for most college students, is nothing."

Born Aubey Drake Graham, the artist saw his rise to rap royalty happen almost overnight. The product of a major-label bidding war following the success of his self-distributed mix tape, 2009's "So Far Gone" — which yielded hits "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful" — he was already on a nationwide headlining tour before his debut, "Thank Me Later," dropped. The disc opened to critical acclaim and a cushy No. 1 spot last year after selling 447,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Drake cautious with new album
MUSIC
"But my music has never been about that," he continued. "It's never been about the listening party that everybody came to. My music has always belonged to the people."
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"I feel like the generation that's digesting music right now, they are so easily swayed by opinion that's put forth prior to hearing the music. I just want the world to have their own experience with it simultaneously, rather than being led in a direction," he said from a booth in the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. "It's sort of a silly thing because you miss out on a lot of press opportunities that way.
Drake could have employed a surefire strategy of platinum producers, staggered singles and aggressive promotion to help ensure that his new album, "Take Care," would avoid the sophomore slump. Given the pump and hype the 25-year-old has amassed over his abbreviated career, such an assault was certainly expected. Instead, the Canadian rapper-singer has taken a decidedly low-key approach to rolling out his new disc.
He recorded "Take Care" largely in his own home studio in Toronto instead of New York or L.A., offered no advance listens and restricted both his live performances and press — something only rap veterans such as Jay-Z and Kanye West can pull off these days. No matter how popularrap's newest star may be, the move is risky.
Even a co-sign from Lil Wayne, who inked Drizzy to his budding Young Money empire through Cash Money Records/Universal Motown, didn't look like it would add cred, as the label head was in prison when Graham launched in 2010.
Yet as an artist operating in a fickle genre that depends largely on street credibility, Graham hardly looked like a sure bet. First off, he's from Canada, just like Justin Bieber, and the country is hardly known for producing great MCs. He was also raised in a middle-class neighborhood practicing the Jewish faith, has never been arrested and before his music career was known as Jimmy Brooks, a soft-spoken character from the teen drama "DeGrassi: The Next Generation."
With a host of Grammy nods, top 10 hits, guest verses, writing credits and an in-demand touring schedule, the unlikely artist unquestionably delivered.
When pressed on his new, less-than-aggressive approach and how it might be detrimental to sales, he quickly asserted it had everything to do with pleasing himself and not others — something he revealed he didn't do with his debut album.
"To be 100 percent honest ... I wasn't necessarily happy with 'Thank Me Later'. People loved it (but) I just knew what I was capable of with a little more time," he said. "I'm very confident in 'Take Care', I definitely made the exact album that I wanted. Will it appear that way to the world? I'm not sure, because its definitely different."

Eddie Murphy resigns 2012 Oscar hosting gig
In a statement Wednesday morning Murphy said, "First and foremost I want to say I completely understand and support each party's decision with regard to a change of producers for this year's Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I'm sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job."
Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences president Tom Sherak added, "I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well." Murphy stars in Ratner's new film, "Tower Heist."
THE NEXT PANEL
The Academy Awards ceremony will be held Feb. 26.
Sherak and his academy team, including recently appointed CEO Dawn Hudson, must now scramble to find both a new host and a new producer to help Don Mischer, who was to produce the show with Ratner and is staying on.
Less than 24 hours after Brett Ratner resigned as producer of the 2012 Oscars after making an anti-gay slur, his handpicked host Eddie Murphy has quit.

Research quality worth student recognition
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education rankings, a record 11 University students received Fulbright scholarships this year. The University has the second highest number of faculty scholarships in the country with nine faculty winners. It ranked 27th overall in the United States with such awards and first in the Big 12.
The esteemed Fulbright program is an international educational exchange that is sponsored by our U.S. government designed to bridge the gap between the people of the U.S. and other nations.
This weather is really putting a damper on my hookah smoking.
Fulbright recipients have the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research overseas for an academic year.
Throughout the years. KU faculty members have won a total of 297 Fulbright scholarships while students have won 432. Having an internationally recognized research and development organization such as the KU Center for Research on Learning, students and faculty have the chance to make a difference.
The center encompasses six divisions, each with a slightly
different research emphasis, varying from research on adolescents who struggle with learning to programs such as the Kansas Coaching Project, which conducts research on instructional coaching. Jim Knight, director of the Kansas Coaching Project, was recently noted by the New Yorker regarding his not-worthy research on essentially "coaching" teachers.
the center a five-year, $7.5 million grant to research whether online learning is effective with students with disabilities and to develop new ways to incorporate technology to improve learning.
So far, the University has been exemplary in its research efforts and more students should take notice. Our highly regarded participation in research should be a great benefit for current and potential faculty and should only elevate our University's prestige.
Last month the U.S. Department of Education decided to recognize the University's Center for Research on Learning. It gave

POLITICS
Candidate's criticism is not racist
With the 2012 presidential election a year away, I still don't know for whom I want to vote. I don't even know which party I want to go with yet.
But without a doubt, no matter who becomes the Republican nominee, I could never bring myself to vote for Herman Cain. And it seems that in the era of being politically correct, when people in the media voice the same opinion, they're often accused of being racist.
But why? When did it become not okay to critique someone who isn't the majority?
Even though I don't support Cain, I can't stop watching his interviews.
In fact, I obsess over them. Nor can I get enough of Bill Maher (because I actually like him).
Recently, I watched a video on YouTube of Maher talking about Newt Gingrich's low rank in the nomination. He says to Gingrich, "Let me put your unpopularity into context for you: You're Republican, and you're polling behind a black euv."
And there's nothing unethical about his statement.
However, the issue is that the video is titled "Bill Maher Takes Racist Swipe at Herman Cain." But if you take 10 seconds to think about it, there's nothing racist about it. And I was disturbed that so few of the comments below actually recognize that.
In the campaign, Cain claims he never plays the race card. And he never has to because, as the video's title suggests, people are already doing it for him.
By Rachel Keith editor@kansan.com
But worse than the complete misinterpretation of Maher's statement is society's general inability to discern what prejudice actually is anyway, and we can see this every day.
Often we assume that if you critique a black man, a woman, a homosexual, or any person of any minority, you're not opinionated. You're just a bigot.
Ironically, to even suggest that it is bigoted. It means that rather than being equal, it's almost become politically incorrect just to be the majority anymore and that to speak against someone who's not is unethical. But this idea is unethical in itself. We're just scrambling to correct ourselves in the easiest way we know how, and we sacrifice our entitlement to an opinion in the meantime.
And if we don't have rights as basic as that, we don't have anything.
So finally, I don't dislike Herman Cain because he's black. I dislike him because his platforms are at best completely absent-minded. I believe his social policies in particular are dangerous for groups like women, Muslims and homosexuals, and that to instill his policies is to do a disservice to an entire nation.
And thats not racism.
It's a real reason not to support someone.

And that's not racism.
Rivalry deserves to continue after Missouri's departure
Missouri's gone. They've packed up and taken their lack of talent to the SEC.
Many KU fans are angry.
Some MU fans are angry.
One sports radio caller said, referring to his belief that his alma mater is chasing money at all costs, "I will never again support Mizzou." Finally, a reasonable MU fan.
However, this move has inspired one sentiment I cannot understand: Missouri's departure has somehow ended our rivalry.
There's no reason why being in separate conferences should end a rivalry. There are plenty of non-conference rivals that play every year. Florida-Florida State, Georgia-Georgia Tech, Iowa-Iowa State, Clemson-South Carolina, and Kentucky-Louisville all play annual games. If you include independent teams, USC-Notre Dame, Michigan-Notre Dame, and Army-Navy are some of the best annual rivalries in college football.
It's equally puzzling that anyone would claim the rivalry "just won't be the same." Most KU-MU games I've been to had almost nothing to do with the Big 12. There are some exceptions, but the passion
By Christopher Nelson editor@kansan.com
surrounding the games almost always comes from the disdain between the teams, not their common conference. I doubt there were many games where fans thought, "If they weren't both in the Big 12, I just wouldn't care." If this rivalry survived, wed play them just as often in football and one less game a year in basketball. There's no reason why the rivalry can't be the same. If anything, Kansas should just add to this the list of reasons we hate Missouri.
The Border War is the second-most-played rivalry in college football history. And no other rivalry has the passion and history of the Border War. They called it the Border War, because that's what it was. This rivalry did not come from a showdown; it came from towns being burned down and people killing each other. Our mascot, the Jayhawk, is a term that originated during that battle. And the despicable "Scoreboard" T-shirts that Mizzou fans made and John Brown signs that KU fans
Whether the No. I ranking is on the line or both teams are in
shambles, our fans love playing each other. It's one of the most exciting games of the year. I implore our administration to continue this rivalry. Canceling it doesn't benefit us at all. That will not teach Mizzou a lesson, it will not "declare us the winners," nor will it benefit us financially (on the contrary, I imagine we'll lose money if we cancel the football game). All it does is take away a matchup our fans look forward to every year. And it's important to remember that we hold our own against Mizzou in football, historically and recently (we're 55-55-9 all-time, and 11-10 since 1990).
It's understandable that people are mad about this, but canceling this rivalry would deprive our students and fans of a matchup that, over the last 119 years, has come to be a part of what it means to be a Jayhawk.

The world most likely won't end this Friday
BREANNA MCCARTHY editor@kansan.com
The world will still be around Saturday, John Hoopes, professor of anthropology, said.
...
Temple of the Wise Man. Tulum, Yucatan, Mexico.
Hoopes is aMayan scholar and uses research to separate fact from fiction on the Mayan calendar, as some have predicted the world will end this Friday, Nov. 11.
Hoopes said there's many end-of-the-world theories, but the craziest he said he's heard involve extraterrestrials.
"The 11-11-11 thing has come up as a result of people who are following those others and just happen to notice those dates," Hoopes said. "I think people may associate 11's with disasters because of Sept. 11."
"There are some people — in fact, Eric Von Daniken, who's famous for his 'Chariots of the gods' and was one of the originators of ancient alien theories — says that 2012 is when the ETs return," he said.
Whether there's an apocalypse or not, students said they have an idea as to what they'd like to be doing when the world ends.
"I'd be getting wasted, probably to be honest with you," said C.J. Slaughter, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan. "I just don't believe it at all. There's no reason for the world to end on Friday."
Tulum in Quintana Roo, Mexico, was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayans. The Mayan calendar ends after Dec. 21, 2012, leading many people to believe that will be the day the world ends.

Mistake in Malott alarm forces students to leave
Sonam Bhakta, a sophomore from Wichita, was watching iodide and sodium solutions mix in her organic chemistry lab when white lights started flashing and a booming intercom ordered evacuation from Malott Hall.
Students and professors left their classes and evacuated Malott yesterday afternoon about 1:20 p.m. and were told by the intercom to grab their belongings.
"I was kind of clueless," she said.
The cause was not a test, but a mistake within the alarm system. A group of facility workers were soldering ventilation coils together on an upper floor in Malott. A facility worker said that smoke is expected with this specific job.
A small amount of smoke reached a fire alarm zone that was supposed to be disarmed and set off the alarm. The facility worker said that he had never before experienced this kind of alarm malfunction on the University's campus.
"We thought that zone was disarmed," he said. "It was not. When the alarm went off, I knew exactly what happened."

Charge dismissed against Planned Parenthood
STATE
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
A judge Wednesday dismissed the most serious charges against a Kansas City-area Planned Parenthood clinic accused of falsifying records and failing to follow abortion law after a prosecutor revealed that state officials had destroyed key evidence.
Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe told the judge he had no choice but to ask that 49 of 107 charges against the clinic be dismissed because documents central to the case were destroyed.
Meanwhile, authorities in the state capital of Topeka, at the request of Attorney General Derek Schmidt, plan to investigate the records shredding to determine if any laws were broken. The documents were reports on individual abortions performed in 2003, filed by Planned Parenthood's clinic in Overland Park with the state health department, as required by law, and copies held by the attorney general's office under Schmidt's predecessors.
District Judge Stephen Tatum dismissed 23 felony counts of falsifying such reports, as well as 26 misdemeanor charges that the clinic had failed to maintain its own copies, as required by law. Prosecutors wanted to compare in court copies of the documents the state had with those Planned Parenthood produced later when the clinic was under investigation. Prosecutors allege the documents didn't match, suggesting the clinic didn't keep proper records and created false ones when compelled to produce them.
Fifty-eight misdemeanor charges remain, accusing the clinic of performing illegal abortions and failing to follow a state law restricting lateterm abortions.
The case stems from an investigation by Phill Kline, a Republican abortion opponent, focusing on abortion clinic: when he was Kansas attorney general and later as Johnson County district attorney.
A Planned Parenthood attorney said the charges always were baseless and blamed the problem with
the records on Kline, who filed the criminal case in 2007.
Howe disclosed last month that the health department had shredded its copies of the reports in 2005, in what Planned Parenthood described as a routine destruction of documents. Howe said in court Wednesday that the attorney general's office, under Democrat Steve Six, also destroyed its copies in April 2009 — 18 months after the criminal charges were filed in Johnson County.
The district attorney said his office has partial copies of the same records, but they haven't been declared authentic in the court record, and he can't establish a proper chain of custody.
"The legal hurdles are insurmountable." Howe told Tatum.
The dismissed charges alleged that Planned Parenthood had failed to maintain its copies of the reports, then produced falsified versions when compelled to do so in 2006 by a judge during an ongoing investigation of abortion providers by the
attorney general's office.
Planned Parenthood attorney Pedro Irigonegaray said in court that the clinic's set of reports didn't match the health department's set exactly because clinic employees made hand copies, not photocopies. The information contained in each set was the same, he said.
The health department shredded its copies during the administration of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat who supports abortion rights and who later became U.S. secretary of health and human services.
Shawnee County Sheriff Richard Barta confirmed he is investigating the records destruction at the request of Schmidt, a Republican who defeated Six last year.
Six did not return telephone messages to the Kansas City, Mo., law office where he is a partner.
Schmidt declined to comment but wrote in a letter to Barta that without an investigation, he couldn't determine whether the attorney general's office under Six had followed state law or its own records-destruction policies in shredding its copies of the abortion reports.
Irigonegaray blamed the "legal fiasco" that led to the dismissal of the charges on Kline. The attorney general's office under Kline had obtained copies of the full reports from the health department in 2004, Irigonegaray said, but the agency never declared their authenticity — and now can't with its set destroyed.
Kline, who was attorney general from 2003 to 2007, lost his bid for re-election in 2006 and served as Johnson County district attorney from 2007 to 2009.
Kline said in a telephone interview that the criminal case "was defeated" by the actions of others, including Sebelius and Democrats who succeeded him as attorney general.
"We did what we were supposed to do." he said.

A hearing on the remaining charges against Planned Parenthood is set for February.

Republican presidential hopefuls were asked if the United States should join in a bailout of Italy. Europe's third-largest economy is dealing with massive government debt.
Republican Mitt Romney says if the U.S. does not get serious about reducing its spending and dealing with its debt, it will be in the same position as Italy.

Perry is only saying "oops" for drawing a blank on a favorite subject of criticism on the campaign trail. His advisers are considering skipping four future debates.

Editor's note: REED ALL ABOUT IT; DRIVEN TO BE A JAYHAWK is written by former Jayhawk Academic All-American guard Tyrel Reed. REED ALL ABOUT IT; DRIVEN TO BE A JAYHAWK, from Ascend Books of Overland Park is now available at most local book stores as well as select grocery
stores and specialty retailers. This book is also available on all popular e-book platforms including iPad, Kindle and Nook.
After starting the season out with a record of 6-2, we have struggled these past few weeks and lost three straight games. Looking back at my time at Kansas, I don't think I ever lost three
straight games. That's crazy! It just reminds me of how fortune I was at Kansas to have such great coaches, teammates and fans supporting me during my time in school.
Being a professional, you begin to understand that losing is part of the game, but one you never want to get comfortable with. It seems that as good and satisfied as I may feel after getting a big win, the losses stick with me that
much more. I hate having the feeling that someone or some team outplayed you on that particular occasion, but that's competition. That's what keeps you hungry and wanting to improve each and every day. I know that if we stick together as a team and rely on one another we can turn those losses around in a hurry.
Being around sports my whole life, I better understand how fine the line is between winning and
losing. Changing just a few minor details, such as how to guard the pick-and-roll or by making an extra pass to get a teammate a wide-open shot, can really change the outcome. It's not always about making shots or playing great defense because at the professional level those are expected of you.
So far my experience in Europe has had its ups and downs, but it has been an awesome experience nonetheless. I would like to finish
this entry by saying thank you to all of the amazing fans that have supported me on and off the court over the course of my time at Kansas and beyond. I am truly blessed and proud to call Kansas my home and look forward to seeing everyone when I'm back for the holidays doing book signings for my new book, "Reed All About It." Please come out and say hello. It will be good to be home! God Bless!
Excerpt from 'Reed All About It' chronicles Tyrel's fourth-grade free-throw contest
In today's excerpt, Tyrel reminisces about his first free-throw competition — as a fourth-grader.
When I was in fourth grade, I entered a free-throw contest at the Elks club in Eureka, where we lived. You know the Elks. It's like the Knights of Columbus or something. Or maybe it isn't. I don't really know much about it, except that it is a club of some kind and they have a building and they host a free-throw shooting competition for fourth graders. Well, I won the local competition. After that was the Kansas State Elks free-throw shooting competition, and I won that, too. This meant I moved on to compete against winners from Colorado, Nebraska and, oddly, Wyoming. This competition was in Denver.
Now, at the time, I did not think anything about this was strange. But looking back, this was a pretty bizarre competition. Probably the strangest thing about it was that the Elks free-throw shooting competition was incredibly formal.
Your performance was measured by 25 shots, but you did not simply step to the line and shoot 25 times. That might have been a little too simple. Rather, they lined all of us up in chairs arranged at midcourt. Boys shot on one end, and girls shot on the other (my sister, Lacie, had also made it to Denver). You would shoot 10 free throws, then go back
to your chair
and watch everybody else shoot 10 free throws.
Fifteen minutes later, you went back up in the same order, having sat in a cold chair in
this way today. But on that day in Denver, I made my first 10 shots, sat down for what felt like forever, then made 15 more shots. I made all 25 shots. The crazy thing was, some other kid had done the same thing. The Elks free-throw competition had become a shootout. We each got five more shots. The other kid made four, and I made five.
As far as the Elks
"I can't imagine that, just shooting free throws all day. It must have been so boring."
a cold gym, and shot your final 15 foul shots with no warm-up attempts. Looking back, this is a hilarious way of holding a free-throw competition. You could not get into a rhythm at all, and as far as I can tell there is no practical reason to do it this way. And I am not sure I could effectively shoot them

between the Rocky Mountains and the Missouri River. The Elks did not take this distinction lightly. The Elks — and I am still amazed at this — flew my family to Springfield, Mass., to place me in the national Elks free-throw shooting competition, I kind of wonder what happened to that poor kid who went 29-
for-30 and didn't make it to nationals, but based on what I saw in Springfield. I'm not sure we should assume he went on to play college basketball or anything. This is because what I saw in Springfield astounded me. At some point in the trip, all the kids who made it there played in some kind of scrimmage and, I'm telling you, there were kids at this thing who could not even dribble. I have to conclude there were kids out there who poured their entire basketball aptitude into shooting free throws, perhaps like the kids who compete in spelling bees. I can't imagine that, just shooting free throws all day. It must have been so boring.
The kid who won it made 24. I made 22 and got seventh. I know I did not dream all this up because after a game at KU one time, a little kid came up to me and said he had heard I had done well in the Elks free-throw shooting competition. That little kid had made it to Denver. So I know this still exists.

Getting hit by concussions, despite helmets
KANSAS 25 STATE 24

Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon drives down the field for a nice gain in the first half of Saturday's game against Iowa State at Jack Trice Stadium. Bourbon received a concussion returning a kickoff against Oklahoma State earlier this season.

It's hard to recognize football players off the field, because they are usually under layers of pads and a heavy-duty helmet. Yet even those protective measures aren't enough to eliminate the risk of concussions.
The problem was Bourbon headed toward the wrong sideline.
The concussion issue leapt to the forefront of the minds of the Kansas football program this season when freshman running back Brandon Bourbon returned a kickoff against Oklahoma State on Oct. 8. Bourbon collided with the coverage team, got up and started to run to the sideline.
"I don't remember it exactly," Bourbon said. "I just remember coming in to it on the sidelines and looking at the scoreboard and I didn't remember all the points being scored."
During that same game, another Kansas freshman, safety Keeston Terry, would leave the game with an undisclosed injury later revealed to be a concussion.
Terry dove out trying to stop Cowboy receiver Justin Blackmon on a bubble screen and his head hit the turf with some whiplash.
"I got up a little slow and everything felt a little distorted, so I went up field to one of the trainers and he talked to me, asked me if I was OK, and I said I'm a little out of it." Terry said. "The doctor came up to me and told me I couldn't go the rest of the game."
Both players were held out of practice for the next week to ensure that they did not risk further injury.
Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said he was impressed by the toughness that Terry played with in the lajahwaks' game against Texas, the first game in which he received significant playing time after returning.
"That was a hard physical game
and he didn't back down, even after having a concussion three weeks ago." Shealy said.
At the beginning of the football season, the players are allowed to choose what type of helmet they wear. Bourbon chose the Riddle Revolution Speed, the only helmet
tested in the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest study to receive a five-star rating.
Although no helmet is concussion proof, advanced helmets, similar to the one worn by Bourbon, significantly reduce the risk. And between the advanced helmets and
the new safety precautions of holding players out of practice following a concussion, teams are limiting the opportunity for the serious post-concussion syndrome to happen to their players.
"With the concussion, you're not sure how long it is going to take."
Bourbon said.
"Any hit pretty close after that can trigger some things like a concussion where you see lines or difficulty hearing or seeing things."

Tiger's fame is starting to wear down
No more than 250 people followed Tiger Woods early Wednesday at the Australian Open, a sign that while he still is the main attraction Down Under, it's not what it used to be.
When he first put Australia back on his golf schedule two years ago, some 15,000 fans complained during the pro-am round that news helicopters hovering over Kingston Heath in Melbourne kept them from hearing. The only noise over The Lakes came from endless flights taking off from the airport.
For sure, the novelty of Woods in Australia has worn off after three years.
And in large extent, so has the mystique.
This is the two-year anniversary of the last time Woods won any tournament, at the Australian Masters in 2009, when he was on top of his g:ane and No.1 in the world by such a large margin that it took nearly a year of mediocrity for someone to replace him. The sex scandal that shredded his personal life was exposed about two weeks after he got home.
tournaments, you've got to play better than I have played," Woods said. "And as I said, making changes to my game along the way, it's been frustrating because I haven't been able to dedicate my time to it."
That's 25 tournaments worldwide, no trophies to show for it.
As always, no one is sure what to expect from him when he tees off Thursday afternoon. In his last start a month ago at the Frys.com Open, he was never a factor and tied for 30th. In his previous start seven weeks earlier, he missed the cut at the PGA Championship.
Now, he commands attention for everything going on around him.
"In order to win golf
It started when U.S. captain Fred Couples, declaring Woods to be the best player "forever" said three weeks before the Presidents Cup team was decided that he would be using one his picks on him.
Then, right about the time Woods arrived in Australia for a corporate outing, he got word that ex-caddie Steve Williams used a racial slur to disparage him at a caddies award party in Shanghai. That led Williams to issue a statement of apology, new boss Adam Scott to say the comment was wrong but the apology was enough not to fire Williams, and for Woods to take the high
road in saying that it was the wrong thing to say but that he's moving forward.
Woods said Williams apologized when they ran into each other earlier in the week at The Lakes and shook hands when it was over, even though no one gets the sense this is really over.
For now, the attention will attempt to shift to the golf, and to the best field this proud championship has had in years.
The Australian Open is the fourth-oldest national championship behind Britain and the United States, and behind Canada based on the calendar. It's past champions include Gene Sarazen, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson and Greg Norman. The last time the Presidents Cup was held in Australia in 1998, the Australian press asked players if it should be the fifth major.
Woods is among 13 players at the Australian Open — along with captains Norman and Couples — who will be in the Presidents Cup next week at Royal Melbourne.
He will play the opening two rounds with Jason Day and Robert Allenby, with Scott (and Williams) in the group ahead of him.
There remain questions whether Woods can contend, something he hasn't remotely done since the Masters in April, and constant speculation whether he can ever get back to the top.
"It has to be hard," said Geoff Ogilvy, the defending Australian Open champ. "It is such a visible rehab for him. I can get injured and no one cares or notices. He ties his shoes wrong and it's world news. I know he had struggled with his knees basically his whole life. You saw him at The Players Championship. He couldn't walk. You can't play golf when you can't walk. You can't practice.
"That, with all the other things that have been going with him, have contributed to making it hard for him to get to where he wants to get."
Woods has attributed his demise mostly to the physical part of his game — changing swing instructors in August 2010, then coping with injuries to his left knee and Achilles tendon that eventually led to him out of golf for four months.
He now is clear to practice and to work out. What he lacks now is competition.
"I haven't played a lot of tournaments this year," Woods said.

MORNING BREW
Earning a spot on the list of shame
In any sport, fans will find athletes they love and those who get on their nerves. Players like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson may be favorites of many viewers, but what about those who are whiney, selfish and arrogant? Here are some players in the National Football League who deserve criticism for getting on fans' nerves.
PHILLIP RIVERS, SAN DIEGO
CHARGERS
By Pat Strathman
nstrathman@kansan.com
There is no other player like him. The gun-slinging quarterback can throw the ball, but he lets his emotions get the best of him. When Rivers played the Chiefs last Monday, the Chargers had the perfect opportunity to win. After getting a first down with less than a minute on the game clock, the eight-year veteran just needed to hand off the ball and kill time. Not so fast: Rivers fumbled the ball, the Chiefs recovered it and won the crucial game in overtime to take the first place rights in the AFC West.
Rivers has 22,130 yards in his career, but he is struggling this year. He has a quarterback rating of only 81.4 and has thrown 14 interceptions in eight games. That number wouldn't be so bad if he had more touchdowns than interceptions, but he doesn't. Rivers argues many calls and always seems to point the finger at
pstrathman@kansan.com
others. The "Cry a m Rivers" catchphrase fits this quarterback perfectly.
JAY CUTLER, CHICAGO BEARS
Should fans feel sympathy for Cutler? The Bears don't necessarily have a solid offensive line or receiving core, but the quarterback always has that "pouting" face. Cutler is doing well this year with 11 touchdowns and only six interceptions, but somehow managed to complete only 58 percent of his passes. Not bad, but it's incidents from previous years that make fans dislike him.
Before becoming the starter for Chicago, the six-year quarterback played for the Denver Broncos. After some coaching adjustments in
2008, Cutler whined to the organization to be traded immediately. His wishes were obeyed and he was traded to the Bears, where he is still struggling. Take last year, for example. In a crucial game against the Packers, the quarterback suffered a knee injury. Cutler sat out the rest of the game and watched the Packers march to the Super Bowl, while many questioned whether his injury warranted him missing the remainder of the game. Players with worse injuries have toughed it out. Cutler had his Super Bowl chance and he missed it.
CHRIS JOHNSON, TENNESSEE TITANS
After a breakout year in 2010, the speedster running back is struggling to dominate rush defenses in the NFL this year. That wouldn't be a problem if the Titans weren't paying him huge dollars to stay in Nashville.
Chris Johnson refused to play a down for Tennessee in 2011 until he had a new contract. During the offseason, the Titans and Johnson agreed on a contract extension that will pay the running back a guaranteed $30 million this year and between $55-56 million overall the next six years. The running back may have deserved it at the time, but his recent statistics aren't living up to the extension.
Johnson has only 366 yards on the season with one touchdown. Twenty-seven rushers
have more yards than he does and every one of them rushes for 3.8 yards per carry or more. Johnson averages three yards a carry on 121 attempts while 14 other running backs have more yards on fewer attempts. That new contract is looking like a bad idea.
Every fan has a favorite player, but many also have a least favorite. With the recent struggles of these players and their actions, these athletes have earned a spot on my list of shame.

COMMENTARY Rivalry may not be over
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Somewhere down the road, yeas after Mizzou gets setted in with its new southern friends, the Border War-turned-Border-Showdown-turned-Cold War between Kansas and Missouri will be renewed. Rarely do jilted lovers leave on good terms, and rarely do they agree to meet up for a drink in a few months when both parties have had a chance to cool off.
And college rivalries are no different.
Speaking of rivalries, I encourage you to check out the new ESPN documentary, "Roll Tide/ War Eagle," which chronicles the rivalry between Alabama and Auburn. While they don't have the Civil War historical roots that Kansas and Missouri have, they have a few things the Border Showdown doesn't: Two schools that are pretty darn good in the sport, and fans that eat, sleep, and breathe Alabama and Auburn football. What they lack in actual fighting, they gain in being southern college football fans. I'd call it a wash.
I said that so I can say this: The great rivalry between Alabama and Auburn hasn't always been smooth sailing. After years of arguments over game contracts and supposedly biased officials, the two schools decided to cancel the football rivalry game in 1907, not to be resumed until 1948.
When I see that, I see a rivalry that only intensifies when neither team could settle their differences on the gridiron. Of course, the other side of that is two arch-rivals refusing to play for 40 years over pettiness. But in this day and age of 24-hour sports networks and the Internet and college athletics being a billion dollar business and all that, is a 40-year break really possible? Of course not.
Fans from Columbia, Lawrence and everywhere in between are doing their best "I don't care if we play you anyway" routine, but the lengths which the same fans go to "prove" they don't care reveal their bluff.
Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.

After years of following a top recruit from Wichita, coach Bill Self now has documented evidence of his prize.

24 recruit, signed
a national letter of
intent to play
Kansas basketball
next season.
I am a social worker.
Ellis
Ellis committed to Kansas on Sept. 21 in his high school's gymnasium before coaches, teammates, media, family and friends. "We felt like he was as important of a recruit as we have had since we've been here," Self said. "You have to get your local guys and certainly he has a chance to be in that same mold of a Wayne Simien-type guy. Fans are going to fall in love with him because he is so responsible and disciplined."
Self and his staff began recruiting Ellis when he was a freshman at
Wichita Heights and followed his development as he grew.
"He has progressed to the point to where he may play as much on the perimeter than on the inside for us," Self said.
Self praised Ellis' athleticism, speed, strength and explosiveness and said that he could contribute immediately as a freshman.
"We can pretty much put him out there and he can figure it out because he's so versatile." Self said.
Ellis' grade point average at Wichita Heights is 4.0. He volunteers as a youth basketball teacher and commits time to the Wichita Children's Home. Self attributes Ellis' talents and kind personality to his upbringing.
"The fact he has never made a B. The fact he's competitive in the classroom. The fact he will be a great ambassador for our University and athletic program, shows that he comes from great parents in Fonda and Will." Self said.
Self said he is looking forward to the Ellis family's future involvement with the team.

Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Speaking for the board, vice-chairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an
interim basis.
"With the difficulties engulfing this university—and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to"
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

EDITOR'S NO. 1
I was 10-years-old when my parents told me they were getting a divorce. I can't remember much about that night, other than I had been at ballet class earlier and that I was excited to see my friend Adrienne at school the next day. I was in fifth grade.
I don't want to say I became a sort of celebrity in my elementary school class because I don't want to make divorce sound glamorous. But I did notice that there was a slight buzz around me; some of my friends' parents had split up when they were younger, but I was the first of any of my classmates to experience a divorce and somewhat understand it.
Playground celebrity status aside, I look back on those first few months after my parents made their big announcement and remember how conflicted I felt. I remember feeling like I was being pulled in a thousand different directions.
I may have been 10,but I wasn't stupid.
in the end, after years of turmoil, I know my parents are now happy. And that makes me a little happier in return.
Now that I'm even older and have had some retrospect on the situation, I'm no longer completely fearful. But it's interesting how my story varies between those who have experienced at different ages, especially college students who are often ignored throughout the process because they're of legal age. For more on adult children of divorce, read Christy's story on page 8.
GABRIELLE SCHOCK | EDITOR
wasn't fooled by my counselor's "you'll get two Christmases now" spiel and deep down I knew that the divorce wasn't my or my brother's fault.
But I was vulnerable. Think about your late-elementary and junior high years when you're just starting to figure out that the opposite sex probably isn't totally disgusted. Going through this phase alongside my parent's divorce really affected me more than I like to admit. I noticed that as I got older and started dating, I became someone fearful of a long-term commitment, so afraid of divorce that I vowed never to get married and never to have kids.

Dear Michelle.
I am a straight male, but for some reason I am attracted to large penises. When I am intoxicated, I masturbate to large penises. I was once very intoxicated and tried to hook up with a guy, but did not fulfill the experiment. Am I bisexual?
Answer:
Let me start by advising you to stop drinking. You show signs of addictive behavior. Addiction to alcohol or sex can increase the possibility of danger to yourself or others. Refrain from alcohol use and gauge your desire. Do you find yourself displaying the same attraction when sober? You will soon discover if your desire is the result of true bisexual feelings or the result of intoxication.
Dear Michelle.
Answer
My long-term guy friend has a girlfriend who lives out of state. For the last six months, I have been performing oral sex on him and getting nothing in return. I want to ask him to have sex with me, but I don't know how he will react.
Stop giving your "friend" fellatio. You should encourage him to break things off with his girlfriend for her benefit, not yours. This guy is
a scumbag. Move on and focus your energies on a real man who will meet your needs.
Dear Michelle.
I have had sex with two different men in the last month and I couldn't help but notice that both of them had big, curved penises. Is this normal?
Answer:
About one in every 100 men are affected by Peyronie's disease, a curvature in the penis due to internal scar tissue. Other causes could be related to circumcision or trauma. Many curved men are able to have healthy, satisfying sex lives. But men should seek treatment if pain or other unusual symptoms occur.
Dear Michelle,
This is probably the dumbest question you have seen, but do I suck on it or actually blow on it? Also, I have a very small mouth. What happens if I can't fit it in my mouth?
Answer:
Answer:
No topic is taboo and no question is dumb. You can blow on the penis for an added sensation, but "blow job" means to suck. For a small mouth, use your hand for continued contact with the shaft of the penis. Place the tip in your mouth and your hand on his shaft. Stoke
and suck in rhythm. Don't forget to use plenty of saliva or lubricant.
Dear Michelle
My boyfriend loves to sniff my used underwear. Is this a common thing?
Answer
I cannot provide you with statistics on how often this fetish occurs. However, as long as the behavior remains adult and consensual, there is nothing wrong with your boyfriend's fetish.

I would change the way in which women and girls are treated and how being a woman is seen as less than in so many ways. If I had the power to wave a wand and change that, that's the first thing that I would do.
MARTHA TYSON
I can tell you one thing: it wouldn't be any of the "Housewives" shows. It would probably be "Fringe." I'm a very peaceful person except when it comes to my television show. People are fighting to keep the diabolical side from taking over the good side. It's great.
If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
JULIA CHASEN
I want the icecaps to stop melting, I can't handle dying polar bears.
> Sophomore from Tulsa majoring psychology and journalism
A credible contract with a major record label. The second thing Well... I have a great body image, but there are just these little love handles, and I would want them to go away. I wish that my son would have the job of his dreams working outside of the country and that he'd buy me a house wherever he is, maybe in Switzerland or South Africa.
In childhood, I was around a lot of people from different countries. My father was a professor, and we followed him wherever he would go. I had friends from Guiana and Nigeria and different parts of Asia. I loved the diversity of my friends and learning about different cultures.
What TV show would you love to star on?
It would have to be a clothing store. I'd go to H & M. I love that store, think there's one that's going to be at the Plaza and the Legends. When i saw that, I was like, "Oh this is great."
"Saturday Night Live." My roommate and I ARE the Taylor Swift roommate sketch.
A genie grants you three wishes. What do you wish for?
I would love to go to Starbucks with Desean Jackson. I feel like I'd enjoy it ALMOST as much as he would. I wish Chipotle would deliver. My third wish would be to experience a national championship in basketball before I graduate.
What's the one thing you miss the most from childhood?
Nothing. I'm still the same size as I was when I was 13.

to "prove they don't care reveal their bluff.
Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.
Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
- Edited by Mandy Matney
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an
interim basis.

"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to?"
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

HOW WE MET // ALEX SMALL AND JENNY ALESHIRE > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
CONTACT
❤️
Popped collars, tennis skirts and Sperry Top-Siders dominated the room at an Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Nu Bid Day party," Preppy Pi's and Polo Guys," in August 2009. Among the pastel-wearing prepsters, Jenny Aleshire, a junior from Topeka and Alex Small, a senior from Olathe, hit it off.
Alex and Jenny met briefly earlier in the night, but found themselves separated when they reached Salty Iguana, the official party location. When Jenny finally caught sight of Alex at the restaurant, she decided to make the first move.
"I thought he was cute when we met earlier, so I went up to him and asked him to dance," Jenny says.
Their friendship really took off after dancing. "I had an amazing time with her that night and was just looking forward to the next time I could see her," Alex says.
Two and a half months later, after getting to know each other and attending date parties together, Jenny and Alex made their relationship official.
Since then, they've even lost-ahead a seven-month break when Alex studied abroad. Despite being overseas, Alex would still send Jenny flowers and seashells from the beach.
On Oct. 23, Jenny and Alex celebrated their two-year anniversary. Turns out that this "Prepy Pi" really did find her perfect "Polo Guy."

Interested in: Women
TURN-OFFS: Super fake-tanned skin freaks me out, especially if they go the whole Jersey Shore route with dark hair. I just can't do that. Arrogance and a negative attitude also drive me nuts.
TURN-ONS: A good sense of humor and a nice smile. They have to love to eat, because I love food a lot—especially Mexican food and spicy things, so they should like hot sauce.
CELEBRITY CRUSH: I have two: Zooey Deschanel because she's super cute and I feel like she'd be fun to hang out with, and Marion Cotillard because she's a classic beauty. I'd do terrible, terrible things to be with her.
FIRST THING HE THINKS OF IN THE MORNING: Can I go back to sleep? Or, I need coffee. I am not a morning person, so I try not to think in the morning.
SONG THAT BEST DESCRIBES HIS LIFE: I love "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye. It's about a serious subject, but it always makes you feel good. It shows regardless of what's going on in your life, you should always go all the way with it.
FAVORITE CHILDHOOD TV SHOW: "The Weekenders" or "Recess." The Weekenders were the best because they just hung out with their friends. And with "Recess," who wouldn't want to be king of the playground?

THAT'S DISGUSTING // LUNCH MEAT >If you're going to do it, be smart.
Patrick Long, a senior from Overbrook, says turkey sandwiches are a staple in his diet. He says lunch meat is one of the only things that can always be found in his fridge. "We pick up some kind of lunch meat every time we go to the store," Long says. The convenience of cold cuts make them a brown bag favorite, but is there a darker side to lunch meat that college students don't think about?

Ready-to-eat meat can host the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, more commonly known as Listeria, according to the World Health Organization's website. The bacteria cause the infection Listeriosis, causing symptoms similar to the flu: fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea. In serious situations, loss of balance, confusion and even convulsions could occur. But for most people the infection is mild.
Barbara Hermreck, a dietitian in Lawrence, says any meat product with a large surface area has more of a risk of being contaminated with bacteria. "Unfortunately, lunch meat tends to be a food that is often mishandled," Hermreck says. But even handling lunch meat with care and making sure it is always kept at cool

temperatures does not mean it's bacteria free because Listeria still survives in refrigerator temperatures.
Another reason cold cuts hold a risk of causing infection is that they are not heated at a high temperatures to kill bacteria before being eaten like most other meats, says Hermreck. To ensure your lunch meat is Listeria-free, thoroughly heat it in the microwave before eating.

GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU// OLIVE OIL
> Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Twice a week, Rebekka Schlichting uses her Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil when she fries fish or potatoes, or boils noodles for dinner Schlichting, a sophomore from Hiawatha, frequently cooks with olive oil because she likes the distinct taste it has and says it's healthier than vegetable oil. But she also enjoys olive oil when it's not part of a recipe. "I just buy a baguette like Rosemary bread, toast it with Havarti cheese, and then dip it in salted (olive)油," she says.
Schlichting has a healthy habit of using olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest to eat and cook with, says Joe Vinson, professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton in Scranton, Penn. Olive oil is good for reducing the risks of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, Type 2 diabetes, and strokes, Vinson says, who studies the antioxidants of olive oil.
Olive oil has a unique set of antioxidants that cannot be found in any other oil source. They contain monounsaturated fats, or healthy fats, that help with lowering cholesterol for a healthy heart. The fats are crucial in helping your body absorb antioxidants because they are fat soluble, which means your body needs some fat to dissolve them.
The olives, which are tree fruits, are healthiest when squeezed the first time, which makes it extra virgin olive oil. Each squeeze thereafter dilutes the antioxidants and fats. Cooking also destroys some of the healthy components of the oil, but adding it to food keeps them all intact. And the more olive oil consumed, the better.
"God made olive oil damn near perfect," Vinson says.
Verdict: Good for you, especially if extra virgin olive oil. | KYLIE NUTT |

THAT'S DISGUSTING // DIRTY SHEETS

Photo by Bre Roach Stinky Sheets: Ignoring dirty bedding for too long could result in skin rashes or acne.
There's nothing more disgusting than going into a person's room and seeing drold dried on their pillow. Peel back their sheets, and there's probably even more gag-provoking damage.
College students are notorious for prolonging trips to the laundry mat, but you can only spend so many hours between your sheets before the bed buildup begs for a wash. Febreeze may work for your clothing, but you can't cover up potential pimples from dirty sheets with Febreeze.
Vivi Torres, writer and owner of ecobeauysecrets.com out of Singapore, suggests washing your sheets at least every two weeks. "When we sleep, most of the dead skin we
shed gets trapped in our bed fabrics as we rub against them. All these accumulated dead skin cells on dirty sheets are like tasty protein bars for acne-causing bacteria," Torres says. "Unwashed sheets with traces of mildew and mold can also cause mild to severe eczema, fungal acne and rashes."
It's a duty to wash your sheets, but there are options. If you're like Courtney Holle, a senior from Marysville, then you wouldn't necessarily have to wash them routinely every two weeks. "I have four different sets of sheets that match my bedding, so if I don't have to wash them that day, I can take off the old sheets and throw on some fresh ones," Holle says.
Ignoring your dead skin-ridden sheets is nothing short of disgusting. Do yourself a favor and grab an extra set of sheets while they're on sale or study while you're waiting on them to dry at the laundry mat. Your skin will thank you.

GET SOME CULTURE // SUZANNE FARRELL BALLET
> It's not all about fast food and beer pong
Suzanne Farrell, renowned dancer and muse of legendary choreographer George Balanchine, works to preserve Balanchine's legacy through every performance the Suzanne Farrell Dance Company presents. The company, based in Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center, will perform at the Lied Center this Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m.
P PHOTO age, Pa. ing, house testing
Farrell works with the Balanchine Preservation Initiative to preserve and perform the works of Balanchine, including some that haven't been seen in many years. This performance will include Meditation, one of the first ballet choreographed by Balanchine for Farrell. "The 'Diamonds' pas de deux is one of the most beautiful Balanchine ever made; classical in style, epic in scope," Farrell says. "The combination of Balanchine's choreography and Tchaikovsky's music is as exciting and glamorous and audiences should come see it for themselves."
The University Dance Company hopes that seeing such a prestigious company perform will inspire dancers and non-dancers alike. "I hope the audience experiences a feeling that

they've never had before and that the non-dancers in the audience can understand what the ballet is trying to communicate and come away with a greater appreciation of the art form," says Libby Ingram, a senior from Tulsa and president of the University Dance Company.
There will also be a pre-performance discussion on Balanchine's legacy at 6:30 as well as a post-performance meet and greet with the artists. Tickets are $25-28 for adults and $10 for students and youth.

DOING WITHOUT // WALKING ON SIDEWALKS
> Absence makes the heart grow...?
Photo by Katie James
It's nearly impossible to go an entire day without using sidewalks. They were created to provide a durable surface to walk on, and for one week, I tried to go without to see how much of a difference concrete makes in daily life.
I soon realized this was going to be harder than I thought. Almost everything on campus is surrounded by concrete. My route to class turned into a strategic game of leapfrog beginning at the landscaping on the edges of Jayhawk Boulevard and ending with the patches of grass between the sidewalks that lead to Stauffer-Flint. I've noticed there's an unwritten rule around campus that if there's a sidewalk around, you use it. I got funny looks because I was off the beaten path, walking in the grass while no one else was. Walking to my car one day near Budig, a car came barreling up the hill and almost hit me because I was in the road. Thankfully, I was close to the curb and moved out of the way.

Concrete is used for sidewalks because it is the most affordable, durable surface, but hard surfaces are hard on your feet. "Concrete has no give to absorb the shock, so it puts almost
DOING WITHOUT // UNDERWEAR > Absence makes the heart grow...?
Though it was a challenge I enjoyed my time sans sidewalks. For convenience sake I'll go back to using them, but I'll put more thought into the types of shoes I wear from now on.
KATIE JAMES
Going commando while on a long drive was possibly the worst driving experience I've had in years. The entire time, I couldn't stop thinking of what my butt was going to look like after the inner linings of my windbreaker pants imprinted a fishnet pattern on it. It hurt, a lot.
> Absence makes the heart grow...?
Normally, the idea of going without underwear says freedom to my mind. A way to let the goods breathe, if you will. I was accurate in my thought of letting the goods breathe, but the freedom thing, well, that's one freedom I don't mind having revoked. In class, I had to sit in awkward position just to keep the inner linings of my pants from digging into me. I had to lean so far one way or the other that I was practically falling out of the desk.
Prior to this, I didn't really think much about my undies. I just put them on every day and enjoyed the comfort they gave as a barrier to the inner linings that I now dread. But Mercedes Furgus, a freshman from Wichita, believes that going commando is great. If she runs out of underwear, she does without it until it is laundry time. For her, going commando is comfortable, but she says when guys do it, it's "just creepy."

way. Alexis Nizzi, a sophomore from Overland Park, finds it very uncomfortable and risky. "If you're wearing a dress or a skirt, you definitely run the risk of flashing your goodies to the world," Nizzi says.
I can see how it would be easy for a woman to do it and also why it could be risky for them, but for guys, it doesn't seem worth it. It may make the front side free, but the backside takes a toll.

Photo illustration by Morgan LaForge Delayed Divorce. When parents split while their kids are in college, it presents unique challenges for the adult children
CHRISTY NUTT
when Megan Watson's parents told her and her 17-year-old brother they were getting a divorce, Watson, a junior
from Overland Park, wasn't surprised. "I read into the situation enough and saw the divorce coming," Watson says. As a 20-year-old student, Watson is now experiencing her parents' divorce, which is in the process of being finalized.
With nearly half of every marriage ending in divorce, it is only a matter of statistics that many college students come from a broken family. But when parents delay their divorce until their children leave the house, college students experience this family change as adults. This delayed timing comes with its own set of unique challenges.
Watson says that because of her age her parents treated her like an adult when they told her the news. "There wasn't any sugarcoating what was going on," she says. "There definitely was no, 'mommy and daddy will still be here and you love,' like you might expect with a child." Watson found the matter-of-fact approach her parents took challenging because it didn't allow her to be the child, but also rewarding because it gave her the opportunity to interact as an adult with both of her parents. "The interesting thing about me being older when this happened is that I've formed my own opinion and have seen both sides for myself," Watson says.

a parent's divorce as an adult can provide the adult child with an opportunity to mature and set boundaries with parents. But it can also cause a sense of uncertainty about family values and affect the adult child's future relationships.
Because Watson is more aware of what is going on than a child, she feels she'll learn more from her parents divorcing than people who grew up in a broken home. Dealing with
The median age for people to divorce is around 40, but that age varies a lot, says Catherine Hess, a divorce lawyer in Lawrence. "I've done divorce for people who have been married for less than a month and for people who got married in the 1940s," Hess says. "Both are easy because there are no kids involved." Hess, a mother of five, says the hardest divorces are ones that involves children. "It really kills me when the struggle comes between the kids. And there always is a struggle," she says. Kids who are 18 when their parents divorce aren't involved in the legal process, but definitely are
involved personally, Hess says.
Adult children are the invisible children of divorce because they are left out of the legal process, says Jeffery Zimmerman, author of Adult Children of Divorce. Zimmerman says there is a misconception that the divorce doesn't matter to adult children and that parents don't need to address it with them. "A divorce is a family event. It is not a happy one, but it's an experience that the entire family must go through," he says. "The adult children need to have a voice in that experience."
A family doesn't end when parents decide to divorce, but the structure dramatically changes. Zimmerman says. The uncertainty of what the new family arrangements will be like can create a sense of disequilibrium for adult children and cause role confusion in the family. However, an adult child has the ability to influ-
to "prove they don't care reveal their bluff.
Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.

But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.
Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Speaking for the board, vice-chairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an

interim basis.
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to."

ence family decisions more than a kid.
Watson is still figuring out the new family arrangements. Watson says she's not exactly sure what the holidays will be like this year, but that she will be making her own decisions as to how she spends her time. "I'm 20. I'm above the age of 18, and I can make my own decisions. There is pressure to spend time with my dad's family, but it really isn't even a question for me. The family I want to be with is my mom's," Watson says.
Watson says she is extremely close to her mom and wants to be as supportive as she can for her. "It has made me be more of a friend than a daughter to my mom," she says. "But I don't mind that." Watson rarely speaks to her dad anymore. She says her relationship with him has always been somewhat distant, but that the divorce has only made their relationship worse. Watson says her closeness to her mom and distance from her dad is just the way the divorce naturally played out. "I don't feel like I'm taking sides because it didn't seem like there was ever really a choice."
Family arrangements are not the only element of a divorce that create confusion for adult children. Zimmerman, who is also a family psychologist in Connecticut, says the strong sense of family, which adult children have established for the last 18 to 20 years, can be shaken to the core when their parents divorce.
Brooke Stewart, a Lawrence resident, was 15 when her parents took her and her four siblings to a counselor to tell them they were getting a divorce. The divorce was a devastating surprise for Stewart that distorted her image of family and her self image. Before her parents divorce was finalized, Stewart's dad began dating a beautiful woman who Stewart described as exotic with a perfect body. Stewart began taking her distorted self image out on her weight. "I thought nobody will ever marry me if I'm not skinny and pretty," Stewart says.
Eight years after Stewart's parents got divorced Stewart got married. She has been married for two years. Stewart says she talked with her husband about their feelings on divorce before they married and says they were confident that their marriage would make it, although she admits every couple is confident their marriage will make it going into it.
From the parent's perspective
Ultimately, Stewart is glad her parents divorced when they did. She says her parents realized that if they stayed together, they were actually hurting their kids. Zimmerman says the child's age when the divorce happens does not impact the child as much as the amount of conflict between the parents and how that conflict is handled.
Research for the last 60 years shows the only correlation between children with problems and divorce is the amount of conflict in the family, says Patrick Nichols, divorce mediator at Associates in Dispute Resolution in Lawrence. However, the process of resolving a divorce in court is based on the principle of conflict by two parties aggressively arguing their cases against each other.
For Elle Yankovich, a sophomore from Bonner Springs, the conflict in her family was unbearable. Yankovich's parents had many ups
When the last child goes to college it is often a time for parents to look at what they want out of life instead of what is best for their children. For some parents this could mean divorce. Jeffrey Zimmerman, family psychologist and author, says when people marry in their early 20s it is difficult to predict the changes in their partners and themselves 40 years later. People still have a lot of life to live at 60 and once the children are grown parents get to decide how they want to spend the latter segment of their life, Zimmerman says.
and downs in their relationship, but when they began remodeling their house, the tension escalated. "I remember my mom being upstairs in her room, my dad being downstairs working on the remodel project and me being in my room," Yankovich says. "Everyone was shut off in their own space trying to avoid the tension.
Although selling the family home may not have as much effect on an adult child as the amount of conflict that happened in the home, it has symbolic relevance. Nichols says the family home is important for young adults to have as a safe environment while they transition to adulthood. Without it, students may need to find other support through peer groups or therapy. "This [therapy] isn't an exact substitute for the family home, but it's something, Nichols says."
Before Yankovich left for college to Xavier University in Cincinnati, her parent's divorce was finalized. Yankovich says she wanted to separate herself from what was going on with her family, but it was harder than she expected. "I actually got really homeiesick even though when I was home I wasn't happy with what was going on. It was difficult to find support at Xavier because I didn't know anyone," she says. The next semester Yankovich decided to transfer to the University of Kansas.
Another part of that work involves reflecting on the positive and negative aspects of their parent's marriage so adult children know what they want in future relationships. This helps adult children of divorce to avoid the common mistakes of either replicating their parent's marriage or avoiding commitment all together and becoming a serial monogamist, Vequist says. The work to heal from a divorce is not easy but essential. "If they don't pay attention it will impact them later on," Vequist says.
Marciana Vequist, a psychologist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence, says adult children should not be the friend for their parent who is struggling with divorce. "When you become the confidant to one parent it automatically degrades the relationship with the other," Vequist says. Setting boundaries with both parents is part of the work adult children must do to cope with the divorce.
Watson says getting involved in school and staying close with friends has helped her cope with her parent's divorce, but she recognizes the careful balance of also dealing with it. Watson says a mentor made her realize she can't use school as an escape from dealing with her parent's divorce. "It is a hard balance," she says.
For the semester Yankovich attended Xavier, she spent most weekends with her paternal aunt who lived nearby. Yankovich's aunt helped her see a balance of fault with both her parents. "At first me and my mom would talk and put all the blame on my dad, which is not healthy," she says. Over time Yankovich began forgiving her dad. While she took steps to improve her relationship with her dad, she had to set a boundary with her mom. "I never openly said 'stop it' to my mom, but I used comments
that conveyed I didn't want to talk about it and she understood."
Marciana Vequist, a psychologist at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence, says when the children are grown parents have the opportunity to consider their own needs without feeling selfish.

Passive aggressive users are being more and
more by frustrated roommates and even upset businesses.
There was something bitter about The Cheese & Salami Shoppe in Lawrence, and it wasn't the cheese. When the store went out of business on July 8, 2009, management decided to guilt trip former patrons in an all-too-common medium: the passive-aggressive note, now hanging in a window. "The Cheese Shoppe is now over. Closed for good," the note read. "Remember that the cheese loved you more than you loved it."
al
A passerby was so amused by the parting lab that he snapped a photo of the note and submitted it to the website PassiveAggressiveNotes.com. The website ran the submission and the photo and received 86 likes, 156 comments and digital infamy.
PHOTO e, Pa. ing. esse lesting
The note was a classic example of passive-aggressiveness, according to Signe Wilson, author of The Angry Smile: The Psychology of Passive Aggressive Behavior in Families, Schools, and Workplaces. Wilson, who is the COO of the Life Space Crisis Intervention Institute, says she defines passive-aggressive as a deliberate yet masked way of showing feelings of anger. "Passive-aggressive behavior is motivated by a person's fear of expressing anger directly," she says. "If someone is upset about something, and for whatever reason they feel they can't openly tell someone, they use passive-aggressive behaviors to get back at someone."
According to Wilson's book, there are five tiers to passive-aggressive, each with increasing levels of pathological tendencies.
TIER ONE: TEMPORARY COMPLIANCE
The most innocent of the five tiers, temporary compliance is most common in parent-child relationships. It starts with a parent asking their child to do the dishes or perform some other mundane chore, and the often electronically-entrenched child agrees.
After a few minutes, the parent asks again. And the child again agrees. "The parent has to remind them a second time, a third time, then fifteen times," Wilson says. "Now the parent is screaming and yelling and can't believe they're getting so angry, and the kid is calm as can be because they didn't do anything."
TIER TWO: INTENTIONAL INEFFICIENCY
This tier can be described as doing something halfway. Intentional inefficiency is a trademark of the disenchanted employee, different from temporary compliance in that the subject actually does the requested task. But it is done at the bare minimum, unsatisfactory to the target of the passive-aggression. In this example, the child asked to clean their room would simply push everything under the bed or into a closet as quickly as possible.
When passive-aggressive behavior reaches the fourth level, Wilson says the person should begin considering seeking help for their problem. She calls the fourth level as hidden but conscious revenge, and it's often deliberate.
TIER FOUR: REVENGE
TIER THREE: AN ESCALATING PROBLEM
When given the opportunity to nip a potential crisis in the bud before it begins, the passive-aggressive person in tier three instead chooses to sit back. It could be as simple as one roommate seeing another drop their keys, choosing not to tell them, and secretly enjoying them spend the next 30 minutes frantically looking for them.
Brandon Melton, a sophomore from Topeka, said electronic communication has made it easier to send passive-aggressive notes. In fact, he says he saw it just last week when a co-worker sent one to his boss over Facebook, telling his supervisor he was quitting. "I generally just tell people to talk to the person," Melton says. "I prefer handling issues face-to-face."
Fixing passive-aggressive behavior appears simple, but Wilson says it's much easier said than done. Mustering up the nerve to express your anger directly is the biggest step in overcoming passive-aggressive. "People need to make friends with their anger," she says.
"It's a way of expressing anger toward another person by choosing not to share some kind of knowledge." Wilson says.
Laura Moll, a junior from Gardner, let her best friend vent to her about lazy roommates last year. She says her friend would leave notes around but never confront anyone directly, allowing the problem to escalate. "I think a lot of people have a problem with that, but anger is a natural emotion everyone feels." Moll says. "I think it's more of a fear of confrontation.
People in this tier go out of their way to make their target's lives more difficult, like a roommate hiding a remote because they're angry the target has been hogging the television.
Wilson says she does not think there is more passive-aggressive behavior in society today than in past generations; it's just more identifiable. However, she says part of the reason why it's prevalent today is a cultural fear of expressing anger directly." Part of it is society being more politically correct," Wilson says.
Jp
THE SOLUTION
MATT GALLOWAY
The most dangerous of the five tiers, self-depreciation is again common in parent-child relationships. The person is willing to go to self-destructive lengths to express their anger or get revenge.
Often in this stage, it's all about getting revenge and making the target as angry as the passive-aggressive person feels. "Sometimes its things people might take to a criminal level, but often times it's petty things," Wilson says.
Wilson says teenagers getting tattoos or drinking alcohol against their parent's wishes could be classified in this tier, but a careful distinction should be made. "There are a lot of things we talk about that might be written off as typical adolescent behavior, so you have to decide whether it's something they would do on their own or if they're only doing it to get back at their parents." she says.
TIER FIVE: SELF-DEPRECIATION

Q&A// WALLPAPER'S RICKY REED
NOTICE
> Because we have questions, celebrities have answers.
When Wallpaper first started in 2005, it was Eric Frederic and his computer, bringing autotune into mainstream music. Now led by Ricky Reed on vocals, Wallpaper is a pop quartet consisting of two drummers, Eric Frederic and Arjun Singh, and another vocalist, Novena Carmel.
Their biggest hit song "#STUPIDFACEDD" ignited a Twitter movement with hashtags and put the band on Top 40 radio stations around the country. In August, MTV selected Wallpaper for MTV's PUSH Artist of the Week, a campaign featuring new buzzworthy artists each week, and Wallpaper was on the red carpet of the VMAs. Their music even played on this year's season of "Jersey Shore."
Wallpaper performed at the Midland Theater in Kansas City on Sunday, Nov. 6 and Jayplay's Nadia Imafidon was able to attend the show.
Jayplay: Last year one of our writers interviewed with Eric Frederic and he mentioned that you don't do very many interviews. Why is that?
Ricky Reed: He used to do more work with the band, but now I am doing all of the interviews. With that being said, I was in a place last year where I wanted to be secretive. Now I want the people to hear my voice and hear me talk. I've got things to say.
JP In all your pictures,you always wear a hat and sunglasses. Do you ever take them off?
BB: No. I can think of think of a few times when my hat has been knocked off and stolen by some crazy ladies, and I had to scramble to get it back. But my sunglasses have never once
come on. I people don't need to see my eyes If people could see my eyes they would know what I was really thinking and that would be way too much vulnerability.
JP: What influences Wallpaper's overall sound?
RR: I'm really influenced by all sorts of greats from Michael Jackson to Prince to Dr. Dre or more recently the West Coast rap stuff.
JP: Does satire still play a role in your music?
RR: Our music definitely used to be perceived as satirical pop music, but your guess is really as good as mine. I make the records and I let people figure the rest out.
lengths w
JP: How did you feel about having your music on "Jersey Shore?"
RR: It was so weird when I first heard it, but it's pretty incredible though to hear your music on TV. It was real special and everything. I didn't watch much of the show before but once our music was on it, I started getting into the show and figuring it all out.
JP: Who's your hero or biggest inspiration?
RR: I would probably have to say Michael Jackson circa 1983. Before hit got weird.
JP: What was it like being on the red carpet at the VMAs this year?
RR: All of it was weird. People were talking about fashion and all sorts of causes like vegetarianism, and asking me about Twilight and shit, and I don't know anything about that stuff. But it was fun and exciting with Chris Brown flying around and the Rick Ross and Kreayshawn confrontation. Weird is the only way to describe these kinds of events.

JP: Explain what #STUPIDFACEDD is?
RR: #STUPIDFACEDD is a state of mind. It's a very specific sort of window when you hit that perfect level of intoxication before you black
out or pass out or whatever. It's when everything is perfect and beautiful and you aren't worried about people looking at you. Truth be told, you don't have to have alcohol or drugs to get to that place. You could get to that real nice, blissful, special place without those things too. JP: What's an example of sober #STUPiD-FACEDD?
JP: What goal do you have for yourself as a musician?

Maybe you just had a Red Bull or you were exercising really good that day, like jogging or yoga, and you are like 'yeah, I'm so buff and so good looking.' It's just when everything is right.
RR: I am definitely trying to get a lot of people to hear my shit. I want people to know who I am. I think my legacy will be making a cultural footprint with some mainstream [stuff] and some real weird shit.
JP: What should students expect from Wallpaper show?
RR: A Wallpaper show is tight. We have two live drummers and myself and another singer and we just bring this powerhouse of dance and funk. It doesn't sound like the record; it sounds like more of a band. It's for people who like rock music, people who like rap music, and it's just for all walks of life. It's simply undeniable.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said. "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an
interim basis.
"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to."
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

STAGE PRESENCE // OH! THE HUMANITY > Feel free to swoon.

Contributed photo Business and Pleasure: All three members of Oh! The Humanity run businesses alongside playing shows and making music.
Throwback is one word to describe the Kansas City group, Oh! The Humanity, and it's sound. It's rare to come across local musicians still playing the genre of music these guys do, but they are doing it well and keeping their scene alive.
"We're like fried cake balls - two things you like in the same experience, pop punk and hardcore," says guitarist and singer, Kyle Kumer. This genre of music peaked around 1995, but it's still the best music to hardcore dance to, and mosh to.
The guys in Oh! The Humanity have been making music together for nearly two years, but all three members have careers and businesses to run along side playing in a band. "I own PlugYourHoles.com, I'm a pastry judge, a feline dentist and I've played in several other bands before OTH," says Sam Dean, vocalist. His website sells ear gauges, clothing and accessories. Kumer is also the owner of MonsterMerch, a t-shirt printing company in Kansas City, Mo.
According to Dean and Kumer, they keep themselves pretty busy but music is what they thrive off of and will continue to do.
Their next show is on Nov. 11 with Plea for Purging, Take It Back and No Bragging Rights. Kumer says, "The show starts at 6:30 p.m. at Lakeland church (in Lee's Summit, Mo.). It's on an indoor soccer field so even if you think the bands suck you can play soccer. I believe Jay-Z would refer to that as a win/win."

SCENE AND HEARD // TEA AT THREE
> New places, new faces.
Tea, at three, for free - every Thursday. It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. Thanks to Student Union Activities, Tea at Three is a free event held weekly on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union where teas as well as other treats are severed. And you can even go for seconds.

Tea at Three's Assistant Coordinator, Shannon Collins, says the event has been around for as long as she can remember and students, such as Cale Mages, have been attending the event for most of their college careers.
"Right around 3 p.m. it looks like everyone is casually standing around the Union, but it's people waiting to swarm the line [for tea]," says Mages, a senior from Ottawa. "They had Moroccan vanilla last week which was a good one and they have a plum tea that I really like as well. They've got milk, honey, and Splenda too if you want to spice it up."
For an event that has anywhere from 50 to 100 attendees, SUA spends roughly $58 dol-

iars each week . "Let's face it, it's the end of the week, who doesn't want free sugar?" Collins says. "It's fun and we even have fruit punch and brownies – it's different every week. There's always a traditional tea and we even have fruity teas too."
It's a great event to socialize with fellow tea lovers or to try something new. Tea at Three is an hour-long event, so stop by before four. Cheers.

One Jayplay writer shares an interesting first experience at a gentleman's club
The morning of my first strip club experience I trimmed an overgrown bush. I showed up to a house near 14th and Massachusetts around 9 a.m., and my boss was there waiting with two hedge clippers. The sun was bright, and it was excruciatingly humid for that early of an hour. My friend and co-worker Pierce was already there. There were two bushes on either side of the front porch that my boss wanted us to trim. They had grown up against the siding, and they had gotten so tall they covered the bottom half of the front windows. There was a time constraint associated with the task: our boss wanted us done before noon so he could take us, and the rest of our co-workers, to a local strip club for a steak lunch.
| JEFF KARR |
Few things in this world garner a more masculine appeal than steaks and naked women. Neither Pierce nor I had ever been to a strip club, so we worked diligently. Pierce started trimming the bushes back from the house, and I worked on cutting them down so they didn't obscure the view from the windows. We finished the job before lunch, and by the end we were
ooth drenched in sweat and covered in dirt and bites from the insects that inhabited those horrible hedges. Our co-worker, Shawn, showed up to the site around noon. We walked around the house to rinse our hands and arms with a garden hose, so as to be presentable when we set foot in our first gentleman's club. When we finished we climbed into Shawn's Volkswagen, reeking of sweat and vegetation. Shawn laughed. It was our first time and he knew it.
On the drive I ruminated about what the next hour might entail. I knew there would be food, and I was sure I'd see some breasts, but other than that my conception of strip clubs was vague. We crossed over the Kansas River at the north end of town and took the first right after the bridge. We passed through a neighborhood before taking another right and pulling into the club's gravel parking lot.
Inside, the club was dim. There was a bar opposite the entrance, and to the right of the bar there was an empty stage surrounded by mirrors. We took a seat with our bosses. They had acquired a table next to the stage, and I got
[Image of a young man smiling, leaning against a tree].
shafted with the chair facing away from it, so if I wanted to watch the dancers, I had to turn around. This, I thought, was problematic. When we sat down I took a second to look around the club. We appeared to be the only ones under 50. There were people at the bar drinking, despite the fact that it was only noon. There were two strippers at the bar and one sitting at a table mingling with patrons.
Our waitress came to the table and took our order. She gave us all glasses of water and she had a very pleasant disposition. She smiled at Pierce and I as if it were perfectly clear that we were first-timers. She took our order, and I ordered a medium rare steak. I would have preferred medium well, but I thought it better to act in accordance with the implied manliness of the ritual. After a while I realized the club was quite clean and that Pierce and I were undoubtedly the dirtiest, least presentable people in the establishment.

Stripped Down: A typical day of work turned into a new experience for one Jayplay writer.
Soon after coming to this realization, a stripper took the stage, and I swallowed my pride and turned around in my chair. She had light brown skin and tattoos down her side and on her back. She was really quite beautiful. She strutted across the stage, and wiped down the pole before she began to dance. My co-workers and I watched her sway her hips, and slide up and down the pole to the beat of the music. She was talented. She removed her top and soon many of the patrons approached the stage and began giving her money. Some handed her $1 bills, and some gave her $5. She took time to fake affection with every one of them, wrapping her arms around their shoulders and allowing them to kiss her cheek.
Our steaks arrived, and a new girl took the stage. I set to work eating my steak and baked potato, turning around in my chair intermittently to watch the new dancer who was also young and attractive. The previous performer pulled up a chair next to an older man at the far side of the club. They talked, and though I couldn't hear the content of their conversation, I imagined them working out some perverse deal. My plate was bloody, and I turned around in my chair to watch the current dancer. She was
topless, wearing only a thong, and she sat at the front of the stage with her legs spread and her thong pulled to the side, revealing it all to the entire club. It was the last thing I wanted to see while eating a medium rare steak. When I looked back to the first dancer and the old man, she was on top of him, rubbing her backside up and down his crotch and thighs. He clung to his chair with a look of total concentration and she bit her lower lip as she danced. I lost my appetite. 'This is lust in its most depraved variety,' I thought to myself.
1. The image is blurry and lacks clarity.
2. There are no discernible objects or text present in the image.
3. The image appears to be a photograph of a person lying down, with their hand resting on their forehead. The background is dark and indistinct.
When it was all said and done, our boss paid the bill and we thanked him for the meal. Pierce and I were sent to an empty house to clean. I spent the afternoon scrubbing a wretchedly filthy bathroom and gagging on oven cleaner, thinking about the woman with her legs spread and the other woman on top of the old man. We joked halfheartedly about what we had seen throughout the rest of the day. 'I guess they aren't for everyone;' I told myself, but I replayed those images in my head for a long time after. By the end of the day, I reeked. I was covered in soot, and my back ached. I went home and cleansed myself of it.

HAVANA
NAIROBI, KENYA
For sale: SBR 4BA tropical delight along Havana's exclusive embassy row, just steps from the balmy waters of the Florida Straits. Asking price: $200,000. Foreigners need not apply.
This is the face of a brand-new real estate market that became official in Cuba on Thursday, as a new measure legalized home sales for the first time in generations, applying a jolt of free-market wheeling and dealing to one of the socialist country's most dire problems: a grave shortage of housing.
A military aircraft from Sudan crossed the new international border with South Sudan and dropped bombs Thursday in and around a camp filled with refugees, officials said. A government official initially reported deaths, but an American activist who spoke to aid workers at the camp later said there were no casualties. There was no immediate comment from the Sudanese government in Khartoum on Thursday, as deadly fighting broke out in the Sudanese state of South Kordofan between the military and forces loyal to South Sudan.
"I think this law is divine," said Tania Duran, who's offering the home in western Havana. "What I find strange is that it hasn't happened before, because it's only logical that if you have property and want to sell it, you can."
The president of South Sudan, which became the world's newest country only four months ago, said he fears the Khartoum-based government intends to invade the south soon.
IERUSALEM
Israel's Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the rape conviction of former President Moshe Katsav and ordered him to begin serving a seven-year prison term next month, a landmark decision that culminated a sordid five-year saga.
The rape conviction for the former head of state was hailed as a victory for women's rights and equality under the law, particularly at a sensitive time when Israel's liberal democracy has come under assault from extreme nationalists.
"From this day on, let nobody dare claim that these are women who tried to conspire against the President. Rather, they are brave women who must empower all harassed women who are afraid to complain" said Ziapi Livi, Israel's opposition leader and most prominent female politician.
VAN. TURKEY
A Japanese aid worker was among 10 people killed by a second earthquake in eastern Turkey, and angry residents protested Thursday that authorities should have closed down two collapsed hotels that were damaged by the first temblor. Riot police used pepper spray to halt the protests.
Some 28 people were pulled out of the rubble in the provincial capital, also called Van, as frantic rescue efforts began Wednesday evening.
The demonstration erupted as rescue workers with pickaxes and earth-movers searched for survivors of Wednesday night's quake, which hit the same region slammed by an Oct. 23 temblor that left 600 people dead in the eastern province of Van.

Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.
Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
Edited by Mandy Matney
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spaniar has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an
interim basis.
"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
P. R. S.
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to"
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

Wealthy departments carry risk
EDITORIAL
Lofted beds are a drunk person's worst nightmare.
University athletic departments make millions of dollars, entertain thousands of fans and create an environment for hundreds of student athletes to pursue a college education while continuing to play the sports they love. However, there is a problem with athletic departments: They can fall into a trap of corruption by the vast amounts of money they generate and the need to sustain those high profits. This problem has taken center stage with the story at Penn State unfolding. Jerry Sandusky was a coach at Penn State for two decades, most notably serving as the defensive coordinator at a program that became known as "Linebacker U" He was the heir apparent to become head coach after the legendary Joe Paterno would finally retire. Not to mention he was also an intricate part of two national championship winning teams.
I'm crying alone, in my car, eating a Snickers. I always wondered what rock bottom was like.
When he was arrested on Satur
day, Nov. 5 on 21 felony charges, including seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, it came as a shock to sports fans across the country. It is alleged that Sandusky sexually abused eight boys in a span of 15 years through his charitable organization, the Second Mile. Several alleged incidents have been reported to have taken place at Penn State athletic facilities.
The most shuddering piece of the grand jury report is the fact that this had been investigated as far back as 1998. In a June 1, 1998, interview with investigators from both Penn State police and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Sandusky admits to showering naked with an 11-year-old boy, admitting that it was wrong and promising not to do it again,
their institution's reputation at risk? It's time that universities took control of the entire institution and cleaned up the programs that take part in athletics wearing the names of these great colleges and universities. This writer isn't advocating that college athletics should become completely separate from the institutions they represent; however, this is just one example of criminality in college sports. The landscape of college sports must change and must have a governing body that has the power to regulate and clean up the entire system. Anything less will only bring about more opportunities for athletic departments to conduct illegal and/or immoral transgressions.
The problem not only lies with the act itself, but the resulting cover-up within Penn State's administration. Penn State's athletic director, Tim Curley and another athletic department official were arrested and charged with perjury and failing to alert police or child-protection agencies about what they knew of the alleged occurrences. According to the report, Curley, "made materially false statements under oath."
according to the grand jury report.
By Billy McCroy editor@kansan.com
College athletic departments are made to generate vast amounts of revenuen and anything that could jeopardize this becomes a detriment to the program's success. This model only fosters a greater amount of corruption and a lack of institutional control. They are separate incorporated entities. Isn't it in the best interest of universities to disconnect athletic programs with these opportunities that put

NUMEROLOGY
11-11-11 date not significant mathematically
JOHN GARFIELD
editor@kansan.com
When you woke up this morning you might have felt proud to be a veteran, tired from staying up all night playing videogames or excited to go see the latest blockbuster. However, you most likely did not experience the obliteration of all life on Earth or the dawn of a new era pulsing through every living creature.
Despite the predictions of many numerologists, the recurrence of the number 11 in today's date produced no observable effects. To some University faculty, this comes as no surprise.
"When you have a date like Nov. 11, 2011 there are some people who are going to try to find meaning in it," said Paul Mirecki, professor of religious

"Superstition and the way that it modifies human behavior provide a sense of understanding and control when in fact there is anxiety about lack of understanding and absence of control," Hoopes said.
David Lerner, professor of mathematics, explained the tangible value of prediction with
Notions of superstition are married to the early history of scientific observation. People will continue to experience self-fulfilling prophecies, perform selective analyses and bend their perceptions to find meaning in the arbitrary; according to Hoopes, behavior that he suggests is akin to finding the face of Jesus on a grilled cheese sandwich.
Mirecki said the number 11 carries with it a devious connotation in mysticism, as do the numbers six and 13 because some consider them to be "unnatural."
"Numbers have always been of interest in religions because numbers are a system of symbols that can be given meaning by the people interested in them," Mirecki said.
However, Lerner said, today's date is not mathematically significant.
Numerology arose, according to Mirecki, as a means of divination for early priests, using what they were able to observe from

Student senators are addressing concerns over whether social media profiles could pose problems for students, especially those the University employs. A senate subcommittee met Nov. 1 to discuss the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities to ensure students' rights are protected online
Senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said the code currently does not provide adequate protection for students electronically. He said an all-student committee brainstormed about what changes should be made.
Harris said the amendment should focus on protecting students when using the campus network, University servers such as the Hawk Drive and social media.
"We don't want the University to take a back door to find students' information," Harris said. He said the group was looking into whether it would be appropriate for students
to be disciplined or terminated from campus employment for online postings.
Harris said another major focus of the amendment would be defining terms like social media.
"Our definitions for social media, now, can be used 10 or 15 years down the road." Harris said. "We want this to be long lasting."
The committee is looking into ways to protect the University as a whole also, not just the students.
Assistant vice provost for student success Jane Tuttle said she couldn't fully comment because faculty had not been invited to the initial committee meetings, but she wasn't sure what the issue is with the current code.
"One of the ideas was about posting of intellectual property," Harris said. He said the group is talking about whether students should be banned from posting class presentations and other material online to share with classmates.
said. She said she looks forward to attending committee meetings once they are open to administration.
"If policies are well written, they should cover social media," Tuttle
While the Senate reviews the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities every two years, Harris thought the lack of online protection in the code needed to be addressed this year.
"I don't want to pass this on to another group," Harris said. Harris he says to have an amendment through full Senate by March.
The subcommittee will have one more student only meeting on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Governor's Room of the Kansas Union. The meeting will be open to any students interested in changing the code. Harris said students are allowed to vote after attending one committee meeting and encourages students to get involved in Senate committees.
"Not a lot of people realize that students can change things," Harris said.

Strong Girls on campus
Program offers guidance to girls
CLAIRE MCINERNY
cmcinerny@kansan.com
Every Wednesday, fifth-grader Addie Thornsbury can't wait to leave her class at Broken Arrow Elementary School. Not because she doesn't like it there, but rather, she gets to come to campus and see her friends and mentors at Strong Girls.
Strong Girls, a program started by co-directors Dr. Mary Fry and Theresa Brown, helps improve positive thinking and physical activity in as many as 90 third-fourth- and fifth-grade girls.
Fry, an associate professor in
"If you think about all the things kids have to navigate through and deal with, it's overwhelming and it's amazing they can grow up to be productive citizens," Brown said. "The reason we target the age range we do is because we're trying to give them some tools before problems start happened."
the sport and exercise psychology department, along with Brown, a post doctoral student in the department, started the program as a research project. According to Fry, previous research shows that young girls do not have as much opportunity as boys to be physically active. The two wanted to give young girls that opportunity and see how it affects the rest of their lives.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"Some of our recent findings have shown that kids in the program are more likely to define success based on their efforts and improvements, which is a great quality to have in life." Fry said.
To mark the progress of the girls, Fry and Brown have the participants write or draw in a journal at the end of each afternoon. Seeing how the girls interpret the lessons about self-esteem, positive thinking and the importance of exercising with words or pictures help Fry and Brown evaluate results.
The two also send surveys to the girls' parents and teachers to see if behavior outside of the Strong Girls' meetings is different. Since girls in the program come from only two elementary schools, teachers often report that the girls are getting along better in the classroom, according to Fry.
To facilitate this change with the young girls, Strong Girls has 50 student volunteers work with the girls in small groups. After going through a training process, the leaders lead physical activities and help set good examples for the younger girls.
Part of the reason Thornsbury looks forward to Strong Girls so much is because she loves spending time with her leaders. Not only does she have fun with them, but they give her opportunities she would not get otherwise such as new ways to exercise.
The elementary school girls benefit from the program, but the leaders benefit also. Kelsie Feagan, a junior from Omaha, said she also looks forward to Wednesdays.
"I want to be positive to everyone," Feagan said. "Not just these girls."

VETERANS DAY
Women in forces fill non-traditional roles
CLAIRE MCINERNY
cmcinerny@kansan.com
The image of a veteran can too easily be stereotyped as an older man in his 80s, holding a flag in a Veterans Day parade, proudly showing his medals from Vietnam or Korea or maybe even World War II. But for the generation currently at Kansas, the face of a war veteran is changing.
Take Katherine Robinson for example. Robinson, a non-traditional senior from Coburn, Va., enrolled at the University at 24 years old after serving in the Army for 14 months in Iraq.
Joining the military
Veterans Day, for Robinson, is exciting to celebrate because the memories of her service are not so far behind her.
Robinson describes herself as a girly girl. At first, she had a hard time adjusting to using only bar soap in the shower and no longer having privacy, but joining the Army was not about the lifestyle. It was about supporting her beliefs.
"I really wanted to serve," Robinson said. "I was really supportive of what we were doing over there and I felt like if I was going to vote for it, I needed to be a part of it."
Robinson left college to enlist, and once she was in the Army, she never looked back. She is an intelligence analyst for the Army, so deployment was the only way she could practice what she was trained to do.
The challenges of military life
After basic training, Robinson moved on to Advanced Individual Training, a 12-week session that trains soldiers for their specific jobs. During this training, she met her future husband, Jake.
Because this wasn't basic training and the soldiers had more free time, it wasn't a big deal for Robinson to date another soldier. However, the challenges of falling in love on a military base did make dating difficult.
The two couldn't hang out in each others rooms and they were often surrounded by the other soldiers, so it was hard to find time to spend with just each other. But despite the lack of privacy, the two didn't mind the situation.
"It felt normal," Robinson said. "Because I guess, at that point, I was so used to being with everyone all the time."
Being away from her husband for the first three years of their marriage presented Robinson with a personal challenge while she served in Iraq. Although Robinson spent only 14
months in Iraq, once she returned,
her husband immediately left to serve,
making the situation even harder.
Returning from war
While adapting to the drastic lifestyle of the Army and going so long without seeing her husband was difficult, it was also hard for Robinson to adjust back to civilian life. After 15-hour days and complete structure, Robinson struggled to throw herself into college life at the University.
"Here I was, 24 years old and I've had all this responsibility, and all of a sudden I was a student again," Robinson said. "School is a responsibility, but it's not the same as making a decision that will drastically change someone's life."
Jake, a senior from Oberlin, dealt with the same struggles. Being around college students who did not go through the same experience as Jake often bothered him.
"You just get frustrated when people complain about things you don't complain about," Jake said. "You were in a situation that is life or death and then you come back and someone's complaining about whether they can afford some shoes they want."
A veteran at Kansas
Although not everyone at the University can empathize with Robinson and Jake's past, the two said the veteran support at the University is strong. Jake is vice president of the Collegiate Veteran's Association (CVA), a group that organizes social events and advocates for students who served in the military. Jake said one project the group is currently working on is to get in-state tuition for veterans.
In addition to the work they do for veterans, Jake made CVA also provides him with a strong support system.
"It's good they have the same experiences as you," jake said. "We probably spend half our time talking about being in the military or our deployment."
Even though adjusting back to everyday life challenged Robinson, she said her experience in the military helped prepare her for it.
"It really helped me confidence-wise," Robinson said. "When I was in school before, I was really, really shy and really nervous about everything. I would have never joined something like CVA before. It really helped me not be afraid to take chances and to know I can be in leadership positions if I need to and it's not a big deal."

Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.
Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
Edited by Mandy Matney
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing.
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of comman-1. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an

interim basis.

"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to?"
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.
Penn State football coach Joe Paterno arrives home yesterday in State College, Pa. Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired yesterday evening, brought down by their failure to do more about an allegation of child sex abuse against a former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, who is accused of molesting eight boys over 15 years.

KU Endowment is planning to administer a memorial fund in the name of Drew Anderson, a University graduate who died Oct.1.
Anderson, 22, from Kansas City, Kan., suffered from muscular dystrophy since childhood and graduated from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications in May. Although confined to a motor scooter as a student, he lived independently at Lewis Hall and served as a copy chief for The University Daily Kansan.

Marines celebrate 236th birthday
MILITARY
LAURA SATHER
lsather@kansan.com
Starting off with a performance of the national anthem from the Lawrence High School choir, the Dole Institute of Politics hosted a celebration for the 236th United States Marine Corps birthday Thursday.
This year marks the 20th year the institute has hosted the Marine Corps birthday, and during his speech, guest of honor Col. Michael McCoy said even though he's attended many Marine Corps birthday celebrations, the attendance at each one keeps growing.
"I'm extremely proud to be able to, I'm obviously not a Marine yet, but I'm on the career path, but to join such an elite group of warriors and to carry on the long legacy that they've laid before us," Frickey said.
McCoy also said that not just the number of Marines seems to be increasing, but also the number of young Marines. Navy ROTC midshipmen also attended the birthday celebration. Midshipman Lucas Frickey, a sophomore from Clearwater, said the birthday celebration was especially important for him.
"Each year, there's more and more Marines from multiple generations that come in, and they're still proud to be Marines, serve over a period of time and celebrate together," McCoy said.
Of the 100 in attendance, many were veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Desert
Storm, Cpl. Jim Weaver, who served from 1966 to 1969, said seeing the younger veterans was inspiring.
“It's pretty emotional. I've been doing it for quite a while; I've been a Marine for a long time, but once a Marine, always a Marine,” he said. “It's kind of what formed me into who I am today.”
"You look around and see all ages. There's a lot of camaraderie," said Schumm. "It really is a force of all ages."
Although he's not a Marine, city commissioner Bob Schumm was celebrating his own birthday at the event. He said for the city, the birthday commemoration was a way for citizens to show their appreciation for Marines, as well as for Marines themselves to bond.
McCoy said seeing the younger crowd of Marines connecting with older veterans was especially important. Recently, he visited Parris Island in South Carolina to see young men and women in training. He said seeing those Marines in the making confirmed what he's always thought the Marine Corps was about.
"It's not about me, it's not about any one Marine, it's not about rank, it's about what we do in service to the nation," McCoy said. "Once a Marine, always a Marine; that's part of our ethos, that's part of our blood. It's not a job; it's not a career. It really is a passion."

Grain elevator explosion in Atchison leaves six dead
STATE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An explosion that killed six people and injured two others at a northeast Kansas grain elevator was accidental, the State Fire Marshal's Office said Thursday.
The agency said it found no evidence of criminal activity in the Oct. 29 grain dust explosion at the Bartlett Grain Co. elevator in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City. Preliminary findings indicate the blast apparently originated in
the elevator's main bin area. The investigation is ongoing.
Rose Rozmiarek, the chief of investigations for the Fire Marshal's Office, said in a telephone interview that grain dust was definitely the fuel that was ignited, but investigators are still trying to determine the spark. The amount of grain dust accumulation at the time is going to be hard to determine. she said.
"All we can say is that there was enough (grain dust) to allow that to happen, which unfortunately is the
hazard of any of these elevators," she said. "The elevator itself was half full of product at the time."
Rozmiarek said she did not know whether the main bin area where the explosion is believed to have originated was the bin being unloaded into rail cars at the time.
Investigators have completed an external examination of the facility as well as a limited internal look to the extent that those areas are accessible. Some smoldering fire still exists in the damaged bin areas.
The grain storage facility has 14 silo areas. About four of them are still inaccessible, she said.
A final report on the explosion will take several weeks to complete, the Fire Marshal's Office said. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is conducting its own investigation, which is expected to take several months.
The state investigation is likely to stay open until investigators can get into all areas of the elevator. If some areas remain inaccessible, the state is
likely to list the cause as its preliminary findings indicate.
"Unfortunately, we have worked several grain elevator explosions in Kansas," Rozmiraek said. "Nothing is really out of the ordinary per se in this one."
The explosion killed Bartlett employees John Burke, 24; Ryan Federinko, 21; Curtis Field, 21; and Chad Roberts, 20, as well as grain inspectors Travis Keil, 34; and Darrek Klahr, 43.

Oil pipeline delayed to address problems
The Obama administration said Thursday it is delaying a decision on a massive oil pipeline until it can study new potential routes that avoid environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska, a move that likely puts off final action on the pipeline until after the 2012 election.
The announcement by the State Department means Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. will have to figure out a way to move the proposed Keystone XL pipeline around the Nebraska Sandhills region and Ogallala aquifer, which supplies water to eight states. The State Department said it will require an environmental review of the new section, which is expected to be completed in early 2013.
President Barack Obama said the 1,700-mile pipeline could affect the health and safety of the American people as well as the environment.
"We should take the time to ensure that all questions are properly addressed and all the potential impacts are properly understood," Obama said in a statement.
The decision on whether to approve the $7 billion pipeline "should be guided by an open, transparent process that is informed by the best available science and the voices of the American people," Obama said.
TransCanada Corp. is seeking to build a 36-inch pipeline to carry oil derived from tar sand in Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The pipeline would travel
through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas.
The heavily contested project has become a political trap for Obama, who risks angering environmental supporters if he approves the pipeline and could face criticism from labor and business groups for thwarting job creation if he rejects it.
Some liberal donors have threatened to cut off contributions to Obama's re-election campaign if he approves the pipeline.
The project has become a focal point for environmental groups, which say it would bring "dirty oil" that requires huge amounts of energy to extract. They also worry that the pipeline could cause an ecological disaster in case of a spill.
Thousands of protesters gathered across from the White House on Sunday to oppose the pipeline, and celebrities including "Seinfeld" actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus have made videos urging to reject the pipeline. The State Department has authority over the project because it crosses a U.S. border.
Environmental activist Bill McKibben, who led protests against the pipeline and was arrested in a demonstration earlier this year, said on Twitter that the protests had an effect on the Obama administration.
"A done deal has come spectacularily undone!" he wrote.
The Keystone XL pipeline would carry as much as 700,000 barrels of oil a day.

COMMENTARY Missouri botches departure
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson slams Iowa State's jeff Woody in a tackle in the second half of last Saturday's game at Jack Trece Stadium. Johnson contributed five tackles in the Jawahaws 10-13 defeat. Kansas is now 2-7 for the season and 6-0 in Big 12 play.

One petty tweet sent out by Kansas' official twitter account on Nov. 6 seemed to be as good an epitaph as any for the now-deceased Border War, aged 120 years.
"Missouri forfeits a century-old rivalry. We win."
The so-called celebration was delayed several times before it officially began, apropos given Missouri's delayed reaction time over these last few weeks. When the party eventually got underway, Missouri's chancellor Brady Deaton made the official announcement that the Tigers were joining the SEC. The fight song and
But there was no mourning in Columbia, Mo., that evening. There was no funeral for the rivalry that has captured the imagination of the Midwest for more than a century.
Instead, the brass at Missouri decided a celebration was in order. The powers that gathered to announce the Tigers' marriage to the Southeastern Conference, and in a spectacular combination of awkwardness and pandering, everyone involved managed to embarrass themselves on a grand scale.
FROM WALK-ON TO LEADER
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
As a walk-on linebacker living in Oliver Hall his freshman and sophomore years, Steven Johnson used to tell people that he was going to play Varsity football for the University of Kansas. Some of those people would laugh at him while others would wish him luck. But none of them would have believed where Johnson would end up with just one game remaining in his career at Memorial Stadium — leading the Big 12 conference in tackles.
When Johnson first moved into his dorm freshman year, he was just a normal student at the University. A resident of Oliver Hall because of his walk-on status, Johnson never received the special amenities and recognition that athletes at Kansas so often receive.
240-pound kid into a 237-pound piece of muscle. He worked hard through the ranks and earned himself a scholarship his junior year. Johnson has been recognized frequently by his teammates for his work ethic, and his defensive coordinator, Vic Shealy, said that Johnson watches as much film as anyone else on the team.
And Johnson has done just that,
going from what he says was a fat
But the lack of credit never stopped Johnson from striving toward his goals. In fact, living in a dorm his first two years, as opposed to Jayhawker Towers where most student athletes live, transformed Johnson into the person and football player he is today.
"For my four years here, I've learned a lot," Johnson said. "I've learned how to continue to fight when things look bad. I've learned to stay humble and motivated when things are really good. There's always going to be a winner and loser and the only thing you can do on Saturdays is go out and give it your all."
Johnson's 95 tackles this season puts him as the 10th leading tackler in the country and his performance this season has caught the attention of NFL scouts.
"They always say things about Steve where you can tell there is a little bit of a 'wow' factor," Shealy said of NFL scout's response after watchin Johnson.
"He wants to win so bad," junior cornerback Tyler Patmon said. "He's going to take responsibility for everything."
Shealy said it's Johnson's speed, as well as his physicality, that has become a draw for NFL scouts — an impressive feat for a player that did not have a football scholarship just three years ago.
While Johnson is an impressive player on the field, his demeanor off the field is what has truly caught attention of his teammates and coaches. Shealy said after the team's 42-0 loss to Texas, in which Johnson had a team-high 15 tackles, Johnson approached Shealy and told him that the team's loss was his fault.
And it's happened more than once.
Shealy said even when Johnson has not vocally taken the blame for a
loss, he can see it in Johnson's eyes that he feels like he let the team down.
His coach, Turner Gill, said that a player's development like Johnson's, both on and off the field, is what makes coaching exciting.
"You get to see guys develop in a short period of time and how much he's grown as a person," Gill said. "I think he will definitely have an opportunity at the next level if he continues to do what he's been doing here the last three games."
With Senior Day approaching and Johnson's collegiate career coming to an end, his future and whether or not he can continue to play football is in question.
Yet no one outside the Johnson camp would have believed he would be where he is today; at the top of the Big 12 in tackles and on the cusp
of continuing his football career after college. But Johnson's father, also named Steven, did. Johnson said his father told the chubby high schooler on his first visit to Kansas that he would lead the Big 12 in tackles, among other achievements.
"it was just like, 'I hope so," Johnson said. "I knew it was going to take a lot of work."
And in Johnson's first Division I practice, he was halfway run over by running back Angus Quigley. But Johnson said that he didn't completely run him over and that's when he knew that he had a chance to do something special, if he worked for it.
"I was just like, 'I can play with these guys,' Johnson said. "From then on, there was no looking back."

confetti should have started right then, but Deaton continued for several more minutes, soothing everyone with his increasingly cracking voice.
"Mike Alden and I have been committed to joining the best of Missouri Athletics with the best of our athletics programs from the very beginning, when we began working together," Deaton said.
It appears Missouri Department of Redundancy Department will be a great fit in the SEC. He continued.
"...with a spirit of inclusivity as we explore each other's cultures and diversity of people," Deaton said.
Yes, because when I think of embracing diversity, I think of the south.
"We're not abandoning our past at all. In fact, we're expansion upon it." Deaton said.
Hmm, maybe Missouri is a great fit in the south after all.
Athletic director Mike Alden made his way to the podium, and he spoke of the athletic
department's responsibility to reflect well on the university.
Somewhere, Quin Snyder, Mike Anderson and Frank Hathi are all nodding their heads.
"We certainly not the most important thing by any stretch of the imagination," Alden said. "We just happen to be like the front porch. We've very visible."
The SEC representatives didn't exactly represent themselves very well, either.
"You could win the SEC next year in any one of the 20 sports you compete in," said Bernie Machen, president of the University of Florida. "We believe in full integration from day one." That might seem obvious, but it's nice to know the conference doesn't have an "Alabama always wins" clause.
The celebration ended with Mike Slive, the commissioner of the SEC, struggling to name-drop local Columbia establishments. He then presented Deaton with an invisible helmet. I wish I was making this all up.
Perhaps the biggest news to come out of the celebration is that Missouri, soon to be the third-most western school in the SEC, will be a part of the SEC East. That is perhaps the best illustration of the overlying theme over these last few years: none of this realignment drama makes any sense. At its core, it's all about the money and television contracts. But on Sunday, the talking heads were only interested in talking about diversity, academics and Shakespeare's Pizza.
Missouri is fickle. If the Tigers had their way, they would have had the same celebration one year before for entry into the Big Ten. Instead of clumsily fumbling through a party they threw for themselves, the Tigers should have just released a pithy tweet of their own:
"Missouri profits in a century-old conference. We win."

MOMENTUM
Losing their bow eligibility against Iowa State, things continue to get worse for the Jayhawks. But, if they can use their 3-point loss to the Cyclones as a positive, the Jayhawks may be able to play with some confidence against Baylor. They'll need a strong start early to solidify any confidence they currently have.
QUESTION MARKS
C
Can the offense turn it around?
After opening the year as the strength of the team, the offense has been on a heavy decline, scoring just 31 points in its last three games. Against a team like Baylor, the only way to win is to put points on the board and a lot of them. The Jayhawks will have to pick up their play on the offensive side of the ball, or this one will get ugly.
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ...
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.
Edited by Mandy Matney
The team plays the best it has all season. The defense, which has given up 40 or more points in seven out of the Jayhawks nine games this season, must play out of its mind against a potent Baylor offense. The offense has to trade scores with Baylor throughout the game in order to keep the Jayhawks in this one. In order for that to happen, the running game will have to have a big day, enabling sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb to return to his early season form.

Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing.
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said. "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an

interim basis.
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that something I have to get used to."
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Henrickson emphasizes rebounding
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson is not shy about criticism of her young team. As the team prepared for the season through a month of practices and two exhibition games, she has found plenty to point out on her own.
Henrickson has asked the team to "marry the defense," showing more dedication on the opponent's side of the court.
In the two exhibition games the Jayhawks were out-rebounded 42-36 and 39-38 despite winning both contests, and now Henrickson is focusing her efforts on rebounding.
"I bark all week and I guess I need to keep on barking — I might need a bite because the bark isn't working too well," said Henrickson.
Though the layhaws showed better pressure on defense, they
PETER SMITH
were not able to capitalize on opponents' mistakes.
Henrickson
"How you can force someone into 26 turnovers and they still get five more shots, is just absolutely
the definition of just terrible work on the glass,*Henrickson said.
This Sunday at 2 p.m. the jayhawks will start the regular season
hosting Western Michigan.
The Jayhawks enter the game after winning both preseason bouts handily. After another week of practice for the team to focus on rebounding, Henrickson is looking for increased effort on the glass.
The Broncos' roster features three players over six feet tall, only one of whom played significant minutes last season. Western Michigan finished the season 9-21 last year led by senior forward Miame Giden, who was named to the preseason all-Mac West team.
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland recorded nine points and five rebounds last Sunday against Pittsburg State, but said that the team needs to react faster.
"We need to be in position to rebound, looking up where the ball's going to hit and having the knowledge to know where the ball's going to go after someone shoots the ball," Sutherland said. "It's being in the right spot at the right time and being in position to rebound great."
Though the Jayhawks shot almost 52 percent for the game and scored 46 points in the pain, they only scored four second-chance points and gave up 16. Because of this, and some well timed blocks in the first moments of the game, Pittsburg State kept the halftime score within six points.
Junior forward Carolyn Davis, who finished the game with 12
points, eight rebounds and six blocks, said that the team needed to work on positioning and agility.
"We weren't going and finding people," Davis said. "There were a lot of long rebounds because there were a lot of bad bounces. It was going far, and we were all under the basket. It's the little things like that we have to work on."
Davis is dealing with a stress fracture in her right foot and is listed day-to-day for the time being. She led the team with 19 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks last season.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011
It was still unknown until Monday's NCAA Tournament Selection Show whether the Kansas soccer team would be one of the 64 teams selected to participate. Instead of gathering the team together, the coaching staff decided it would be better for everyone to watch the show on their own.
However, that afternoon found several players gathered around a computer screen at Wagnon Student Athlete Center, watching the selection show online.
The players waited in anticipation throughout the show to see if the Jayhawks made the tournament. When the final bracket was about to be unveiled, they were almost

season. Despite the loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 28, the Jayhawks feel like they are prepared.
"We have to bring our intensity to every game from the beginning," said sophomore forward Amy Grow. "I think that's a big part is coming out from the start and giving it our all."
For the players, it's all about coming out and playing with the same concentration they have all
To beat the Bulldogs, the Jayhawks feel like they need to continue to put in a few more good days of practice before playing to their maximum potential.

"We've just got to maintain that level and maybe even go beyond that level and keep
performing at the highest level we can," Francis said.
The Jayhawks enter the tournament with a young team this year as all 11 starting players, including six freshmen, will
return next year.
"We obviously have such a young team," Francis said. "I think they've matured a lot because they're played so many minutes, and I think we're at a different place now than we were six weeks ago."
The other element to the Kansas tournament scenario that could benefit the Jayhawks is the decision by the University that all Kansas students will get into the game free with their KUID.
"It's really exciting, especially since we haven't been in the tournament the past couple of years," said sophomore defender Madi Hillis. "I think we're all looking forward to it."
This is the fifth tournament appearance in the 17 years of Kansas soccer.The last one came in 2008.
The first round matchup begins on Sunday, Nov. 13 at noon at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

KANSAS TIPOFF
STARTERS
TYSHAWN TAYLOR GUARD
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011
Taylor's return will start to answer all the questions about his game and dedication. Taylor needs to harness his immense talents and focus on nothing but a Big 12 title and a strong run in the NCAA Tournament in March. He has the ceiling of a first round pick if the NBA ever returns and his floor is most of what we have seen. Expect at least 30 minutes played and a healthy stat line.
★★★☆
ELUAH JOHNSON GUARD
Johnson also returns from suspension and steps right into the shooting guard position after playing point guard in seasons past. He has the awareness to hassle opponents as a defender and the speed and athleticism to thrive on fast breaks. He will also play heavy minutes tonight, but with senior guard Conner Teahan射击 at a顷 pace, Johnson can't play the whole game.
★★★☆☆
THOMAS RORINSON FORWARD
TRAVIS RELEFORD, FORWARD
★★★☆☆
THAT IS KEEL OLE, I FORWARD
Despite going without a rebound on Tuesday, Self said that Reelford played a better game than his 14-port season defeat against Pittsburg State. Reeford will stay in the starting lineup, but move to a more traditional small forward role. He will be relied on more rebounds and should continue to contribute as a defensive stopper. He could lose some minutes to Teahan, sophomore forward Justin Wesley and possibly junior forward Kevin Young.
Robinson's left knee was not an issue in his super start to the year on Tuesday. He was the best player in the exhibition and the force that Self will continue to run the offense through. Robinson's quick maneuvers to the hoop follow with crowd-pleasing dunks and trips to the free throw line. The return of Taylor and Johnson to the lineup won't change this team's game plan. The ball will touch Robinson's hands on most possessions in the half-court offense.
★★★★
IEFF WITHEY. CENTER
Withey played just 17 minutes on Tuesday after three quick fouls. He wasn't needed much as Robinson took the game over, but another solid outing could back up his triple-double against Pittsburgh State. When Robinson is double-teamed, Withey will have opportunities to score in the paint. If She goes with a smaller lineup that includes Taylor Johnson and Tharpe on the floor together, Withey may take a seat. His main goal should be to stay out of foul trouble.

MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The exhibitions are past Kansas and the regular season is finally here. Coach Bill Self said that the team is focused on tonight's game, but with Tuesday's Madison Square Garden showdown against Kentucky looming, tonight's game could be overlooked. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson begin their season after serving a suspension in both exhibition games. Junior forward Thomas Robinson scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his return against Fort Hays State in Tuesday's 101-52 blowout. If the Jayhawks break the game open early with their full lineup assembled, Self can rest his leaders and prepare for a trip to New York City.
Player to watch
TYSHAWN TAYLOR
Fans had to wait through Taylor's yearly suspension, but he's back after an off-season of maturation and jump shooting. Self has said that Taylor's demeanor has changed and that he's prepared to lead this team. He'll do so down the court as a point guard and on defense with attention to detail. Taylor's knock has always been his shooting. With agility and a quick first step, he drives to the hoop at will. Taylor has been running with the first team in practice and that won't change tonight.

Towson finished up its exhibition season with a 1-1 record after it 50-43 loss to Division II Virginia State on Sunday. Coach Pat Skerry is entering his first season at Towson after coaching at Pittsburgh as an assistant last season. He coached at nine different schools before accepting the job at Towson. The Tigers start just one upperclassman and look to have experience problems at times this season, as seen in their exhibition defeat. Recruiting started off great for coach Skerry in year one, as ESPN ranked next season's recruiting class sixth in the nation out of non-BCS conference schools. After opening the season against Kansas, the tigers play two more BCS schools. The travel to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan Monday, followed by Oregon State at home on Nov. 26.

ROBERT NWANKWO
With a starting five consisting of four underclassmen, Nwankwo is the loner senior in the group. First year coach Pat Skerry will look to Nwanko for leadership, and Towson's success or failures this season might depend on just that. A fifth-year senior and former walk-on who missed all of last season, he has all the experience needed from a starting forward. He was named to the Colonial Athletic Association's All-Defensive team two seasons ago and had eight double-doubles. The 6-foot-8, 220-pound native of Hyattsville, Md., finished the 2009-2010 season in the top 50 in the country in rebounds and top 10 in blocks. He needs just 17 rebounds to move into Towson's top-ten of all-time, and he's already third on the school's all-time blocked shots list with 146.

Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
— Edited by Mandy Matney
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said, "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an
interim basis.
"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to"
Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

Boxing legend will be missed
On Monday, boxing lost one of its legends and all-time great heavyweights, Joe Frazier, to liver cancer. Frazier, one of Philadelphia's greatest athletes, didn't let his smaller stature keep him from becoming a champion, an Olympic gold medalist and a 1970s heavyweight Hall of Famer. Frazier's accomplishments include being the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1970 to 1973, and being inducted into both the World and International Boxing Halls of Fame. Frazier was also named by the International Boxing Research Organization as one of the ten greatest heavyweights of
Aside from being a world champion, Frazier was also known for his intense and lengthy rivalry with fellow heavyweight Muhammad Ali. The two had three fights — two for the heavyweight title. They also traded verbal jabs that turned their friendship into an on-and-off hatred, which carried on until the last couple of years. Their first fight, 'the Fight of the Century', was one of the most anticipated fights of all time and pitted the two undefeated fighters against each other in their primes. Frazier won the title earlier in the year and Ali was returning to try and reclaim his title after he'd been stripped of it for refusing to be inducted into the Army during the Vietnam War. Frazier won the match, but he eventually lost his title to the monstrous grill master, George Foreman.
Ali and Frazier met again in 1974. However, this time Ali would get the victory, tying the series. After Frazier had re-established himself as the top contender and Ali had reclaimed the world title from Foreman in the fight 'Rumble in the Jungle,' the two met again. This fight took place in the Philippines

and would come to be known as 'Thrilla in Manila.' During the pre-fight promotion, Ali took many personal shots at Frazier, even going so far as to call Frazier an "Uncle Tom," which only intensified the personal animosity between the fighters. Ali would go on to win the fight in 14 rounds after Frazier's corner decided that he couldn't continue because his eyes were swollen shut. Ali would go on to say that the fight was the closest thing to death that he knew.
Frazier never regained his title and also couldn't defeat Foreman in their rematch. After attempting a comeback in 1981, Frazier decided to retire and focus on training his son, Marvis, and daughter, Jackie, for their boxing careers. If Frazier had been in the ring today, he might have gone undefeated and would sit higher on the list of all-time greats. However, Frazier was overshadowed in his era by Ali and Foreman, but regardless, he accomplished a remarkable amount in his career, especially considering how light he was for a heavyweight fighter. It took, arguably, the purest boxer ever in Ali and one of the largest, most powerful boxes ever in Foreman to beat Frazier.
Frazier should be remembered as a legend and one of the hardest working and most determined athletes ever. He should be seen as an inspiration for people today.

Guards return from suspension
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
After two rather effortless exhibition wins, Kansas opens the regular season when it takes on Towson tonight in Allen Fieldhouse. Guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson will make their debits after serving two-game suspensions for violating unspecified team rules. The two-game furloughs haven't changed the flow of practice too much though.
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Except a few days before the first exhibition game, both Taylor and Johnson have practiced with the first team, coach Boll Self said. Taylor brings back the most experience in the backcourt, but Self is looking for him and Johnson to step it up on the defensive end of the floor.
"They're both better players, no question, but I still think they're both inconsistent," Self said. "And defensively, they're both average compared to what they could be."
"‘I think I have my 'average defender’ ways at times," Taylor said. "But I think at times I can also be a really good on-the-hall defender."
Taylor said he thinks that kind of talk from Self is largely for motivation, but he says agrees with the sentiment to some extent.
Elijah Johnson, a six-foot-four junior guard, played sparingly last
season behind Taylor, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. He looks to be the second option behind Taylor this season, and Self confirmed many suspicions that Johnson will start alongside Taylor tonight and have more leeway this season.
Johnson played just 13.7 minutes per game last season while averaging 3.7 points per game. As he played behind the three aforementioned upperclassman a season ago, it was safe to say he had a short leash with his coach.
"He hasn't had an opportunity yet," Self said on Johnson. "May know he can play through mistakes, that may help him a little bit."
While Self would only confirm that Johnson and Taylor would start against Towson, he didn't rule out to the possibility of playing the duo alongside freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe, who finished the final exhibition game with 19 points, seven assists, and five steals.
"We've got five perimeter players basically," said Self. "We could play small with those three, or we could play a little bit bigger with Conner or Travis both in the game with a guard. We have some versatility there I think."
Whatever the lineup is, Self said he hopes to see more consistency, from an effort and focus standpoint, heading into the season opener as well as next Tuesday's showdown with No. 2 Kentucky.
"That will be something we talk about with this team, I guarantee, all year long." Self noted. "We have a tendency maybe to space out every now and then, and I'd like that to be reduced some."
The core of the team—outside of Taylor and junior forward Thomas Robinson—is inexperienced, no doubt, and the non-conference schedule doesn't do the Jayhawks many favors. After facing No. 2 Kentucky, they could potentially face No. 20 UCLA and No. 6 Duke later this month in the Maui Invitational. The upcoming games aren't totally distracting Taylor from the season opening, however.
Speaking of Kentucky, self didn't deny that the heavyweight matchup in Madison Square Garden is on peoples' minds.
"We're trying to stay focused," he said. "I've said a few things, but not at the expense of getting ready for Friday."
"I'm just excited about my first game." Taylor said. "Kentucky's definitely what I've been thinking about a lot, but I've been thinking about my first game a lot, too."

The Red Raiders have fallen hard since upsetting then third ranked Oklahoma, being outscored in their last two games 93-27. The Red Raiders get their second shot at taking down a BCS hopeful when they host Oklahoma State and the nation's second ranked scoring offense. A win for the Red Raiders make them bowl eligible, while the Cowboys will try to stay on the fast track for the BCS championship game.
The Longhorns look to stretch their winning streak to three as they go up to Columbia, Mo., to take on the struggling Tigers. This matchup should be run-heavy; the Longhorns rank 11th in the nation and the Tigers rank 12th. The Longhorns are already bowl eligible, while the Tigers will need to win two of their last three games to become eligible. This will be the rare time this season that Tiger quarterback James Franklin enters the season as the more acclaimed passer; his Longhorn counterpart, David Ash, is a run-first quarterback making the fourth start of his career.
The Wildcats and the Aggies are both coming off two consecutive losses, the difference is the Aggies are still trying to become bowl eligible while the Wildcats have put themselves in position to contend for a top bowl game. Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein will try and keep the Aggie offense off the field by leading long sustained drives that kill the clock. When he has done that, the Wildcats have found success on the year, and it keeps their defense rested to counter the Aggie attack.
to *prove* they don't care reveal their bluff.
Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.

Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Patrino nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,

CROSS COUNTRY
Teams prepare for regionals, look to qualify for nationals
MAX GOODWIN
nggoodwin@kansan.com
Members of the women's cross country team think they haven't run a race all season that reveals their collective ability.
The Jayhawks will have their last chance to do so at the NCAA Midwest Regional meet on Saturday.
"We haven't put it all together yet," senior Rebeka Stowe said. "We have a good team and we have a lot of ability. We have one more shot at getting it. At this point it's do or die."
Stowe, the senior leader of the team, talks about the regional meet with a sense of urgency. If the women's team finishes in the top two of the team standings at the meet, the Jayhawks will automatically qualify for the national meet on Nov. 21.
The Jayhawks ran well in Wisconsin at the Adidas Invitational, but they've had disappointing races as well, such the Big 12 championship meet. The team goes into Saturday focusing on two teams in the regional: Iowa State and Tulsa.
Iowa State finished ahead of Kansas at the Big 12 Championships, but Kansas finished higher at the Adidas Invitational.
Tulsa is a team that Kansas has not yet faced but based on statistics, the Jayhawks think Tulsa is a team they need to beat in their quest to reach nationals.
"We can't let anything shock us
"What we need to do is get in there and take care of business and be one of the top two teams so that we're definitely there," Stowe said.
The Jayhawks insist pressure won't be a factor for the team, despite the possibility that Saturday might be the team's last race of the season.
"We don't want this to be our last race," sophomore Josh Munsch said.
"We know we can make it to nationals," junior Tessa Turcotte said.
"The pressure is not there, it's just about getting the job done."
Coach Stanley Redwine has urged runners to run in a pack all season.

into not running together" senior Austin Bussing said.
Redwine also told the Jayhawks to run with the confidence that they will be successful.
The men's team faces the same do or die situation in the regional meet.
Watching film of the Big 12 championship meet showed Busing and the rest of the team that, with a bit more effort, they could have closed the gaps between the team's runners.
"It's time for us to run our best race out there and run like there's no tomorrow" assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said. "There's no question we need our great leadership from our captains this weekend."
Those captains are Stowe and senior Kara Windisch. The three runners after them — Turcotte, Cori Christensen and Kyra Kilwein — will serve as the biggest influences in determining where the Jayhawks finish.
QUIDDITCH
That's what the Jayhawks will try to do this time around.
"We're going to be counting on these young guys for the next two or three years," Whittlesey said. "They need to gain a lot of experience from the meet this year, and hopefully crack into our top five and make an impact."

Today, the quidditch team travels to New York City. Tomorrow, the team's first International Quidditch Association World Cup begins. Twenty Kansas quidditch members are going to take on the other 86 World Cup caliber teams Saturday and Sunday.
Last night, the quidditch team met for the last time before heading to the airport. They discussed the weekend's schedule and final strategies. The team was bubbling with excitement as they sat in captain Nicole Denney's apartment.

"This is on a completely different scale," said beater Kristine Hoang. "People know who we are. They will see our jerseys. They will say, 'That's Kansas. We need to watch out for them.'"
The team formed in the fall of 2010 with 13 members. Since then, the original members have recruited and they are now 50 members strong. These are not simply Harry Potter lovers running around on a field. They are athletes.

Middlebury was the birth place of real life quidditch. In the documentary about the 2010 World Cup "Brooms Up," an entire section is devoted to discussing Middlebury and how they have been unbeatable. One commentator explains how everyone at Middlebury plays quidditch and the team that represents Middlebury at the World Cup each year is the best team on campus.
The extra practice is necessary. The teams at the World Cup have more playing experience than the Kansas team. The tournament is also the first
"We aren't as worried about them as we are about Louisiana State." Kansas captain Doug Whiston said. "We think they are the hands-down favorite to win this tournament."
Whiston explained that LSU is bringing a level of size and aggression that Kansas has not seen before.
"They are physically capable," said Hoang. "They are kind of intimidating in that factor."
Before Kansas will have a chance at Middlebury or LSU, the teams will have to play through individual pools on Saturday.
Kansas was placed in Pool G along with the No. 26 University of Utah, No. 41 Hofstra University from Long Island, N.Y., No. 49 University of Vermont and No. 65 Ringling College from Sarasota, Fla.
much."
"We think we were very lucky to get the pool that we did." Whiston said. "Our toughest matchup is Utah. They are a little less known, but from what we've seen, they don't score very well."
There have been calls for the Kansas quaddiitch team to prove themselves at the World Cup because they have been a relatively unknown team until winning the Midwest Cup, Oct. 9 in Fisher's, Ind.
After the tournament the team was ranked No.1 in the world, above Middlebury. The team has since dropped to No.2, below Middlebury

interim basis.
"With the difficulties engulfing this university — and they are grave as you all have documented," Surma said, "it was necessary to make a change now."
Speaking at his house to students, Paterno said, "Right now, I'm not the football coach, and that's something I have to get used to."

Perhaps fearing the worst, the 84-year-old Paterno, who has a record 409 wins, attempted to make an end run around the board of trustees in the hope of going out with a shred of dignity. In his statement, which was released through a Washington-area public relations firm as opposed to being approved by Penn State, Paterno expressed regret that he didn't do more to prevent Sandusky's alleged crimes.

35-14, Nebraska
Nebraska will come back after its 25-28 loss to Northwestern. After this week's Penn State scandal it is unlikely the team will be back together and focused by game time. Nebraska coach Ron Brown will keep his team mentally locked-in despite the extra attention on the game.
41-17, Nebraska
42-17, Nebraska
With the scandal just coming out for Pena State, Nebraska is going to unleash on them. Interim coach Tom Bradley is not ready to lead the team to a win over a high caliber team like Nebraska.
28-17, Nebraska
Nebraska roughs up an unfocused Penn State team that looks lost after the removal of former Penn State icon Joe Paterno. Husker quarterback Tyler Martinez has the game of his season as the Huskers will have the Nittany Lion fans leaving Happy Valley frowning.
It's hard to imagine the Penn State players being able to focus or prepare at all for Nebraska this week. Nebraska needs to win after a bad loss to Northwestern. The combination of the two puts Nebraska on top.
TCU @ Boise State 2:30 p.m. CT
28-25, Boise State
38-24, Boise State
Boise St. will continue its undefeated run despite its leading rusher, senior running back Doug Martin, being listed as day-to-day. The TCU defense will be ready to take advantage of the changes in personnel on the Boise State side. The game will come down to how prepared Martin's replacement, senior D.J. Harper, is to take on the Horned Frog defense.
Kellen Moore has a completion percentage of 74.1 which is second in the nation and the passing game will just be too much for TCU to defend.
35-20, Boise State
In the only matchup between these two teams that will ever take place in the Mountain West Conference, the blue turf will get to the Horned Frogs. Bronco quarterback Kellen Moore will have a field day with the TCU defense. The win is more important to the Broncos who need to make a BCS bowl game, which only a perfect record will allow them to do.
41-28, Boise State
The Broncos playing on their home turf will be too much for the Horned Frogs to handle. Boise State's perfect record will remain untouched.
Auburn @ Georgia 2:30 p.m. CT
42-28, Georgia
PAGE 19
The South's biggest rivalry will see Georgia come out on top. Georgia's freshman running back, Isaiah Crowell is back after a one game suspension for breaking team rules. The Bulldogs did not suffer while he was gone. Last week, Georgia defeated New Mexico G3-16. The pressure will be on Auburn to win, but they have not walked with a victory in Athens since 2005.
24-17, Georgia
27-20, Georgia
After losing its first two games to ranked teams, Georgia has won seven straight. Auburn will keep it close, but the Buldings have the better defense, and as last week's LSU-Alabama matchup showed, defense is the key to winning in the SEC.
31-17, Georgia
It will be a close one in Athens, Ga., and Georgia will come out on top with the help of home field and getting Isaiah Crowell back from the one game suspension will help.

32-28, Stanford
The game will determine the Pac-12 North champion. Stanford's senior receiver Chris Owes will not play after suffering a concussion last week. Stanford is looking to come back after last year's 52-31 loss to the Ducks in Oregon. Despite the injury, 4. Stanford has the motivation to win at home Saturday.

The game in Stanford could be the best game this weekend. It is going to take an overtime to decide this one with Andrew Luck having four touchdowns.

Quarterback Andrew Luck's Cardinals will suffer their first lost of the season under Oregon running back LaMichael James' lead. In the end, Oregon's offense out-duels Stanford in a high scoring game that will surely be entertaining.
the marquee matchup that the Pac-12 has been waiting for all year finally arrives. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will prove on the field why he will be the No. 1 overall pick as he leads Stanford on a last minute touchdown drive to clinch the victory and all but assure his team a spot in the Pac-12 championship game.

to *prove* they don't care reveal their bluff.
Kansas officials and coaches have said they have no interest in playing Missouri beyond this season, and many fans feel the same way. There's probably a lot of truth in that, too. Kansas certainly doesn't benefit financially from playing Missouri in basketball, where an annual game in Kansas City would mean a 50-50 split of ticket money. Kansas will make much more than that when they play Davidson there next month.
But in seven or eight years, when both schools are settled in their respective conferences, some business will try to sponsor a reunion in Kansas City of football, basketball, or both. It will be just enough time to cool off from the messy divorce, and both sides will realize hating someone else isn't quite the same.

Paterno, Spanier fired after Sandusky scandal
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The longest and one of the most distinguished coaching careers in college football history ended suddenly with the firing of Joe Paterno by Penn State's Board of Trustees on Wednesday night. Paterno, who offered his resignation in the morning but said he wanted to finish this season, was joined on the unemployment line by university president Graham Spanier.
The move was in response to the arrest on Saturday of Paterno's longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky and the release of a grand jury report alleging he sexually abused at least eight young boys. Although neither Paterno nor Spanier has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing,
Speaking for the board, vicechairman John Surma said. "The past several days have been terrible, but the outrage we feel is nothing compared to the physical and psychological abuse that allegedly took place."
Paterno received an eyewitness report of one alleged sexual assault in 2002 and just passed it up the chain of command. No one at Penn State pursued a criminal prosecution of Sandusky for that incident.
Surma was pressed repeatedly for an explanation of why Paterno, who is tied with Amos Alonzo Stagg for most games ever coached at 448, was not given a chance to coach the final home game against Nebraska on Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Instead, defensive coordinator Tom Bradley was appointed to replace Paterno on an

MODERN-DAY POETRY
HAIKUS AND HIP-HOP
Adam Bradley, author of "The Anthology of Rap" and co-author of Common's memoir "One Day It'll All Make Sense", discusses the elements and poetics of Hip-Hop rhyme and style Tuesday night at Alderson Auditorium. Bradley's lecture and books delve into why rap and hip-hop artists are just as eloquent of poets as Shakespeare or Poe.

Jay-Z and Sylvia Plath, Shakespeare and Big Daddy Kane, Ralph Ellison and Kanye West. On Thursday night, the names mixed together indiscriminately.
Adam Bradley, an associate professor of English at the University of Colorado-Boulder, delivered the message that rap is pounding on the door of the literary establishment as part of what he called a "State of the Union of Hip Hop 2011." He was joined in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union by a panel of guest speakers that included University faculty and staff as he discussed rap, writing a book with Common and the structure of hip-hop.
Bradley, the author of "The Anthology of Rap" and co-author of Common's memoir, "One Day It'll All Make Sense", presented his

rhyme and wordplay. Rap is an extension of the classical rhetorical tradition, he said, of poetic storytelling.
And rap and hip-hop, he said,
are not synonymous.
The arguments for why rap is not poetry, according to Bradley, depend on notions that rap is profane and trapped in a suspended adolescence. Also, it is music.
Bradley broke down the parts of hip-hop for the audience which included disc jockeying, emceeing and graffiti. Rap, he said, was composed of three parts: rhythm,
"The poetry of hip-hop is a political statement." he said. "The people making rap don't necessarily look like those that judge poetry."
But just as Homer told stories through song, Bradley said, so does Jay-Z. For thousands of years, poetry and music went hand
Bradley also pointed to a declining interest in literary poems among the general public.
in hand. He questioned why they could not go together again, even if traditional poetry has gone a different direction. As to profanity, Bradley said rap reflected the world that real people live in.
Some people are reluctant to include rap in the canon of literature, Bradley said, because intellectual elites cannot control it. Rap exists outside of the systems of patronage that have traditionally supported the fine arts.
"Each one of you in this room knows someone, somewhere, who is writing a bad poem," he said.

University reviews reporting policies
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Allegations of child abuse at Penn State have moved the University to review its own policies and consider changes.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little announced the review in a statement Thursday. State law requiring suspicions of child abuse to be reported to authorities does not apply to university institutions, according to the chancellor.
"We are examining changes to KU's own policies which would codify that responsibility for our employees," the statement read in part.
University policies already
Kansas' mandatory reporting law requires several classes of professionals to notify law enforcement of suspicions of child abuse or neglect. The law covers physicians, dentists, nurses, hospital administrators, psychologists, social workers, alcohol and drug abuse counselors, teachers, school administrators, firefighters, police and several other professions that involve the care

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released a statement accepting Atkinson's decision and praising her work. Atkinson has served as dean since 2002 and as executive vice chancellor since 2005.
Gray-Little wrote that KUMC's National Institutes of Health ranking rose 15 places since 2006. It is now ranked 15 nationally and the faculty has doubled in size since the expansion of campuses in Wichita and Salina.

MOSCOW
A Russian cosmonaut says the threeman U.S.-Russian crew are thinking positively as they prepare to blast off on a delayed mission to the International Space Station.
The mission had been delayed for two months after the failed launch of an unmanned Progress cargo ship in August. The failure was blamed on a manufacturing flaw and cast doubt on the future of manned flights because the upper stage of the Soyuz booster rocket that carries the cargo ships into orbit is similar to that used to launch astronauts.
The way was cleared after another Progress lifted off successfully on Oct. 30.
"We have no black thoughts and full confidence in our technology," cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov told journalists at the Russian-leased Baikonur Cosmodome in Kazakhstan, where he, fellow Russian Anatoly Ivanishin and NASA astronaut Dan Burbank were preparing for the launch.
WARSHEFANA. LIBYA
Rival militias clashed on the outskirts of the Libyan capital for a fourth day Sunday in the deadliest and most sustained violence since the capture and killing of Moammar Gadhafi last month.
The fighting, which has killed at least 13 people since late last week, raised new concerns about the ability of Libya's transitional government to disarm thousands of fighters and restore order after an eight-month civil war.
Libya's interim leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said his National Transitional Council brought together elders from the feuding areas — the coastal city of Zawiya and the nearby tribal lands of Warshefana — over the weekend and that the dispute has been resolved. "I want to assure the Libyan people that everything is under control," he said Sunday.
However, as he spoke, fighting continued.
Heavy gunfire and explosions of rocket-propelled grenades were heard over hours Sunday.
SULAIMANIYAH, IRAQ
The Kurdish regional government has signed a deal with ExxonMobil to explore oil fields in northern Iraq, Kurdish officials said Sunday, putting them in sharp conflict with Iraq's national government.
The government in Baghdad wants to control all energy contracts signed in Iraq. With the deal, ExxonMobil becomes the first oil major to do business in the Kurdish region in defiance of the central government's wishes.
The deal was announced Sunday by Kurdish officials at an oil and gas conference in Irbil in comments carried on Kurdish television. Details of the deal were published on Friday by the Financial Times newspaper.
The Kurdistan Regional Government has clashed with Baghdad over who has the right to sign deals with international oil companies to develop Iraq's resources.
Elegantly attired with a formal demeanor, Mario Monti proved his mettle as a tough negotiator when he blocked the merger of General Electric and Honeywell and levied a 500 million euro fine against Microsoft for abusing its dominant position.
The man tapped to be Italy's next premier earned the moniker "Super Mario" in the halls of the European Commission, stopping such corporate giants as Jack Welch and Bill Gates in their competitive tracks.
"He moves with caution and speaks with nuances. But he moves," said Carlo Guarnieri, a political scientist at the University of Bologna.

Excitement subsides for Obama campaign
DAVID SCOTT
dscott@kansan.com
Millennial voters—an important age demographic of 18 to 29 year olds that helped the president win office in the last election—are not as excited for Obama as they were in 2008, according to a Nov. 3 survey from the Pew Research Center.
"Nothing is really different. People in my generation wanted Obama to represent the middle class and he hasn't," said Caleb Wilson, a junior from Winfield.
Wilson said that many young voters blindly followed the media's lead in their love for Obama. He said that many students his age have come to the stark realization that Obama is just like all the other politicians in Washington, D.C.
"We're not stupid. We see that," he said. "We want someone different from the status quo."
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute for Politics, said Obama in 2008 reminded many students of their favorite professors, someone who was extraoradinarily smart,
"The economy being what it is has dampened a lot of people's excitement."
well spoken and orientated toward bipartisanship in fixing problems in Washington.
"Things really haven't changed in Washington, D.C." Lacy said. "We can debate whether that's the Democrats' or Republicans' fault, but typically the person in charge gets blamed for that."
work. She thinks that millennial voters were blinded by Obama's campaign.
However, Obama didn't mesmerize all young voters three years ago. Jordan Gripe, a senior from Shawnee, said she saw through Obama's hype and didn't believe his economic ideas would
"A lot of people were definitely excited about him. I attribute that to that whole idea of 'Yes We Can,'" she said. "People rallied around the idea of 'change' because that's what our generation was really excited about, even if they don't know what that change would be. The excitement didn't stem from political knowledge."
Brenen Zey, a junior from Overland Park, agreed that the excitement of young voters for Obama has died down, but she thinks that's because people are expecting too much, too soon. She blames a stubborn economy that has been very hard to turn around.
"Change takes time. It's not instant. We were excited but it's taking a little longer than some would like," she said. "The economy being what it is has dampened

a lot of people's excitement."
A soft economy and lack of enthusiasm of young voters may spell 'four and done' for Obama. Lacy sees striking similarities
between Obama and President Ronald Reagan. Both presidents drummed up great support from younger voters and both candidates faced bad economies when the first won office. In 1981, Lacy said Reagan faced more than 9 percent unemployment, but he was able to ride a 6 percent growth in the economy in 1982 that helped him win re-election in 1984 with a 49-state landslide.
Economists predict next year's economic growth to be at 3 percent, which might not be good
OBAMA'S SUPPORT
OVER YEARS
President Obama's approval has dropped uniformly across age groups, according to a November 3, 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center. But some experts say the drop among young voters may hurt him the most.
Support for Obama among voters age 18-29: 2008:66% November 2011:62%
Support for Obama among voters age 65 and older:
2008: 45%
November 2011:42%
SOURCE:
PEW RESEARCH CENTERO
Lacy said the Obama has a couple of issues that will make his bid for re-election difficult. One, the 16-point margin among young voters he holds over Mitt Romney will shrink as the presidential election approaches. Two, young voters are not predicted to participate to the same degree in 2012 as they did in 2008.
"It's going to be a very tough reelection campaign. It's going to be a very ugly campaign,' Lacy said. "The president is going to essentially depict his opponent as not qualified or not prepared to be president."

When it comes to the threat of damage and chaos from disasters in Kansas, earthquakes rank nearly at the bottom of the state's list of concerns.

Fire destroys apartment complex in Manhattan
Investigators say a fire that destroyed a Manhattan apartment complex under construction was intentionally set.
Officials investigating the Nov. 6 blaze at the 96-unit Strasser Village Apartments said the fire appears to
have been started in the northern section of the complex, which was scheduled to open next fall. The luxury complex had been valued at $7 million.
Investigators for the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Riley County Police Department said in a release that damage estimates from the fire
could exceed $2 million. The complex is located near a retail development, where the roofs of several stores were damaged by flaming debris.
Manhattan Fire Chief Jerry Snyder said the fire caused the largest dollar loss in Manhattan history.

Dancers recreate history
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Dancers in the Suanne Farrell Balllet glided across the Iced Center stage Saturday, but the choreography the dancers performed had actually been painstakingly recreated.
Farrell's company, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary, is best known for performing the works of the late George Balanchine, one of the most prominent choreographers in American ballet history. After Balanchine's death, Farrell, one of Balanchine's most celebrated muses, carried on his legacy by piecing together dances that would have otherwise been lost and bringing them to new audiences.
Michael Ann Mulliken, general manager of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet based in Washington D.C., discussed the challenges of re-staging decades-old ballets.
Ballet
"She has been taking bits and pieces of ballets and parting them back to together" Mullik in said.
For references. Farrell used her own memories of the routines as well as video shot by her family and archived footage.
So far 10 ballets have been pieced together, but the first ballet performed Saturday night, called Haitie Diverimento, was resurrected by a dance figure closer to home. The late Todd Bolender, who was in the ballet's original cast and died in 2006, received the piece when he was the artistic director of the Kansas City Ballet.
Two of the ballets from the company's performance were created especially for Farrell by Balanchine. Meditation, an emotionally charged dance between a couple dressed in simple clothing rather than the opulent costumes of other numbers, was the first piece the late choreographer ever crafted for his muse. Years later, he left it to Farrell after his death. Her company is the only in the world that performs it.
The dance was a favorite of Emma Springer, a junior from Wichita. "That one seemed more personal" she said.
Springer said the costumes and the dancing were beautiful, but the initial idea behind attending the ballet was for her and her friends to do something different.
"We wanted to get all fancy and go to the ballet." Springer said.
to the ballet, Springer said.
Rae Jacobs, a junior from Holton,
also enjoyed Meditation, but her own
ties to dance were what made the show
especially significant.
"I danced for 11 years," Holton said. "And I have a friend who does ballet in New York, so it's cool to come to this here."

Obamas remain generous in visit to Hawaii

AUGUST 1967
Apparently the new White House "swag" rule doesn't apply to diplomatic protocol.
First lady Michelle Obama presented sterling silver orchid brooches and sterling silver cufflinks with Hawaiian Koa Wood to the leaders and spouses who gathered for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
The gifts came only days after President Barack Obama signed an executive order banning souvenirs that federal agencies buy with taxpayer money to promote their work — items like coffee cups, T-shirts and pens.

The effort was part of a broader executive order to cut $4 billion in waste to redirect the money to more pressing needs and make government more efficient.
Michelle Obama said it certainly helped her husband's cause when he asked her to marry him two decades ago.
World leaders commonly exchange gifts as an act of goodwill and diplomacy. The White House said the gifts represented "a distinct part of the aloha spirit and helps forge new bridges of friendship and understanding."
with the words. "Made Exclusively for Michelle Obama."
When you pop the question to your future wife, it never hurts to be from Hawaii.
The intricately designed orchid brooch was handcrafted in sterling silver by Hawaiian artist Wayne Keeth while the cufflinks were designed by Kara Ross, using wood from Hawaiian woodturner Keith Maile. The cufflinks are engraved
"That's really one of the reasons I married Barack," the first lady joked during a luncheon for spouses at the APEC forum. "When I realized that this is where wed be spending the holidays, I said, 'Yes — I love you'"
The Obamas typically spend the Christmas holidays in Oahu, the island where the president was born and spent most of his childhood.
day night, meanwhile, Hawaiian guitarist Makana wore a homemade "Occupy with Aloa" Tshirt, a reference to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
"Our family has the privilege of coming here — the burden of coming back here every year," Mrs. Obama said to laughter.
Even amid the swaying palm trees and blue skies, Obama had plenty of reminders of politics back on the mainland.
At the entrance of the J.W. Mariott Resort Hotel, where Obama addressed APEC leaders, four little girls each held up a piece of paper with letters spelling out the name "C-A-I-N," a reference to Republican presidential contender Herman Cain.

Wisconsin governor faces recall
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The effort to recall Wisconsin's controversial Republican governor is expected to begin Tuesday, although his opponents have yet to come up with a candidate to replace him.
The recall effort comes in response to a Wisconsin law passed earlier this year that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers. Gov. Scott Walker's proposal sparked weeks of protests that drew tens of thousands of people to the state Capitol, and two Republican state senators who supported it were ousted in recalls last summer. Seven other lawmakers targeted for their support or opposition of the law survived recall elections.
Walker, who was elected last fall, isn't eligible for recall until he has been in office for one year. Democrats have been working closely with union leaders on the effort, and they plan to kick off their petition drive Tuesday. They must gather more than 540,000 signatures by Jan.17 to force a recall election.
The governor has already
started raising money to fight the recall thanks to a donor who filed paperwork on Nov. 4 for a fake recall effort. The maneuver allowed Walker to begin accepting unlimited donations.
Nicole Larson, spokeswoman for the state Republican Party, responded to the recall effort by saying Walker "remains completely focused on the task at hand — saving taxpayer dollars and creating a business friendly climate so Wisconsinites can get back to work."
Meanwhile, potential candidates to replace Walker are jockeying for position behind the scenes and preparing for a primary to narrow the field if the party doesn't unite behind one person. The possibilities include former U.S. Rep. Dave Obey, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and state Sen. Jon Erpbenbach — one of 14 state senators who fled to Illinois in an ultimately futile effort to block a vote on Walker's bill. Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk also could be a contender. Her home area includes Madison, the state capital.
Democratic strategists would
love to convince one of the two biggest names in Democratic politics — former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold and retiring U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl — to run, but they believe they could win with a candidate who has some name recognition even if the person has never held statewide office.
"I think people really do, at some level, believe a rocking chair with nobody sitting in it would be a better governor than Scott Walker," Democratic Party strategist Sachin Chheda said.
Marty Beil, executive director of the 23,000-member Wisconsin State Employees Union, said he's not worried about Democrats not yet coalescing around a candidate.
"I believe that we get the signatures, then we get the candidate," Bell said.
But former Democratic Party chairman Joe Wineke said that although he didn't feel a rush to choose a nominee, some party members are "very nervous about the lack of a defined candidate" as petitions are being circulated.
Neither Feingold nor Kohl appears interested. Feingold, who
lost his bid for reelection last year, said he wouldn't run for anything in 2012, and Kohl's spokesman has said the 76-year-old senator has no desire to run. He's retiring when his Senate term ends next year.
Obey said he would like to see Kohl or Barrett run to replace Walker, but if they don't, he won't rule out running himself. The 73-year-old served more than 40 years in Congress and was a powerful force behind the scenes in Democratic politics for decades.
"We'll cross if we come to it," Obey said. "Right now, my main purpose is to try to convince one of them to run and see to it that people remember there's a huge amount at stake and we cannot afford to have the opposition to the governor split in different directions."
To that end, he said the priority must be making it clear to the public that the recall effort is moving forward.
"The issue is Scott Walker" Obey said. "The issue is not candidate A or candidate B."

Scott Olsen, 24-year-old Iraq war veteran, lies on the ground bleeding from a head wound after being struck by a by a projectile during an Occupy Wall Street protest in Oakland, Calif. Olsen suffered a fractured skull while marching with other protesters attempting to reestablish a presence in the area of the disbanded camp, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. Police Chief Howard Jordan says an internal review board and local prosecutors have been asked to determine if officers on the scene used excessive force.
Veteran hurt in protests released from hospital
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Friends say that Scott Olsen, the Iraq War veteran who suffered a serious head injury during a police raid on the Occupy Oakland encampment, has been released from the hospital.
Wall Street protesters nationwide have rallied around Olsen's plight. A second Iraq War veteran was hospitalized earlier this month after Oakland officials said he was hurt during another round of protests, but has since been released.
Olsen suffered a skull fracture during tear-gas filled clashes between police and demonstrators on Oct. 25.
The 24-year-old Marine Corps veteran had been attending Occupy protests in San Francisco and Oakland after working his day job as a security software engineer.
Below City or City Park Against the War said Sunday that Olsen was released last week. She says he can now read and write, but still has trouble talking.

Thailand's floods stress ailing king
WORLD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chulabhorn, the king's youngest daughter, said Friday during a visit to flood victims in Northaburai province north of Bangkok that King Bhumibol had gone into shock and lost consciousness after suffering abdominal bleeding and a sharp drop in his blood pressure. She said that about 800 cc of blood had been found in his bowel movements.
News that the health of 83-year-old King Bhumilbum Adulyadej took what Princess Chulabhorn described as a brief turn for the worse comes as a flood have inundated much of Thailand, including parts of Bangkok and its suburbs. More than 500 people have died, damage is estimated at several billion dollars and central Bangkok remains threatened.
Thailand's alling king — the world's longest-reigning monarch — recently suffered a health problem that caused him to temporarily lose consciousness, his daughter revealed, linking the incident to stress over the country's flood crisis.
Chulaborn said Friday that after the May operation, the king "seemed to be at ease" until the flood crisis. The king has been shown from time to time on television speaking — sometimes with difficulty — at royal functions held at the hospital.
Chulabhorn said doctors told her the recent bleeding could have been caused by concern over the flooding.

"So I asked the nurse what he had been doing in the past few days," Chulabhorn said. "It turned out that he had been watching news."

Sixty-foot pine tree breaks in Atlanta mall
She said the 11,000-pound tree was from Douglas County. She said a backup tree has been selected and will be brought in this week.
Macy's at Atlanta's Lenox Mall must cut down a new Christmas tree after the 60-foot white pine selected for the holidays snapped while being hoisted atop the department store Sunday morning. Melissa Goff with Macy's said the store usually selects its tree from a Georgia forest, but drought conditions have made it difficult to find a healthy tree this year.
It's not the first time the store has had to get a backup tree: the 2004 tree also broke.

Cat jumps on cactus, lands on its own feet
A lot of cats get stuck in trees, but an Arizona kitty was perched atop a giant saguaro cactus for at least three days before finally coming down on its own.
At times, the feline would stand up and survey the area, possibly trying to figure out how to get down — or how it got up there.
Helicopter video from ABC15. com shows the cat eventually climbing down the cactus Friday. It started making its way down head-first before turning around and scooting backward. It finally took a big leap and landed on its feet before wandering into the desert.

After Drew Ryan Anderson, a notable Jayhawk enthusiast and recent graduate from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications passed away on Oct. 1, plans were quickly put in place to establish a memorial fund in his name.
EDITORIAL
Students should donate to memorial fund
Anderson, 22, from Kansas City, Kan. graduated from the University of Kansas in May 2011. He suffered from muscular dystrophy since childhood and despite being a student confined to a motorized scooter, Anderson lived independently in Lewis Hall and was an inspiration to those who knew him. He worked as a copy chief for the Kansan and interned for the Lawrence Journal-World. Along with these accomplishments, Anderson was known first and foremost as a die-hard KU sports fan that wore crimson and blue with a devout sense of pride.
In order to recognize his fiercely positive attitude and his refusal to complain, KU Endowment will administer the memorial fund in honor of Anderson. Gifts made to KU Endowment in his memory will be placed
in a holding fund until they reach $5,000. At that time, the person (donor) who established the account will name the fund and designate its purpose. The fund's current name is the Drew Anderson Memorial Fund.
The minimum amount of money needed to endow an award fund requires $10,000, and the amount needed to endow an undergraduate scholarship fund is $30,000. Students and alumni should donate whatever they can in order to facilitate such a good cause.
According to Lisa Scheller, a

POLITICS
Cain's presidential campaign can't be serious
Remember when the only thing we associated with Herman Cain was his 9-9-9 tax plan?
Ever since Politico reported on Oct. 31 that the GOP presidential candidate faced accusations of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association, Cain's catchy policy proposals have taken a back seat to questions about his personal behavior.
By Luke Brinker
lbrinker@kansan.com
Even though at least four women have lobbed accusations against Cain, the candidate and his supporters remain unfazed. The charges are nothing more than ginned-up controversies started by the "Democrat machine," Cain said in a Nov. 8 press conference.
Never mind that when the Politico report first surfaced, Cain pointed the finger at fellow candidate Gov. Rick Perry, R-Tex, as the source of the allegations, Cain, who more than once has
made bold claims (including that Occupy Wall Street is a conspiracy hatched in the Obama White House) while admitting he had "no evidence" for them, has apparently uncovered the real source of his troubles.
Never mind that Sharon Bialek, one of Cain's accusers, is a Republican active in the tea party movement. Years ago, she probably registered with the GOP and attended tea party events just so she could seem more believable when she aired charges of sexual assault against Cain. Kind of like
how Barack Obama's parents probably conspired in 1961 to have a Hawaii birth certificate and newspaper birth announcement printed for their son, despite his really being born in Kenya. Or Indonesia, or wherever it was.
Never mind that Republican candidates, like former Govs. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and Jon Huntsman, R-Utah, are starting to raise questions about Cain's behavior. (Of course, if the tea party gives Romney enough hell for taking on Cain, he'll probably revert to form and take back his statement that the allegations are "serious.")
Not only is Cain furious with the scheming "Democrat machine," which seems to be powerful enough to derail presidential candidacies but can't quite keep Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in line, he also fed up with his cowardly, anonymous accusers.
"I will not be deterred by false,
anonymous, incorrect accusations," Cain said in his press conference.
Never mind that Bialek and Karen Kraushaar; another one of Cain's accusers, have publicly come forward with their accusations.
Cain, who claims he has no recollection of ever meeting Bialek, expresses concerns about her credibility. She's a single mom! She has shaky finances! She got her a new hairdo before her press conference with attorney Gloria Allred! She hired Gloria Allred!
Never mind that women who fit Bialek's profile - single, financially insecure, and dependent - are the women most vulnerable to sex crimes. Must we demand that Cain's accusers be married with two and a half children and a white picket fence?
And never mind that Cain has hired a celebrity lawyer of his own: L. Lin Wood, whose client
list includes Kobe Bryant and Howard K. Stern, better known as the late Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's live-in pal.
It's pointless to ask whether these accusations will hurt Cain. He never had a chance of being the nominee. I know, I know; I'm showing my utter misunderstanding of Cain's authentic, unique appeal as a non-politician and businessman. But a Republican who continually revises his position on abortion rights, boasts about his ignorance of international affairs, and decides to air an ad in which his top aide puffs smoke into the camera is not a serious candidate. Cain's handling of his sex scandal only punctuates the point.

UNIVERSITY
Campus fees unnecessary, unwanted by some students
I love the University of Kansas. The professors here are some of the best in the country, I have a multitude of opportunities in and outside the classroom and I meet many interesting people. But ever since freshmen year, the University that I love has been tearing a hole in my pocket and taking my money.
While Kansas is relatively cheap compared to private colleges, it makes up for the low tuition by excessively imposing fees upon students. I don't feel like the University genuinely cares about my education; instead I'm a giant dollar sign. Here's some of the fees and practices I take issue with:
By Alexis Knutsen
aknutsen@kansan.com
On the Monday and Tuesday after fall break, the University decided to close campus without notifying those of us in the scholarship halls. It's completely underhanded to ticket students for parking on campus when classes were not in session. That's subtle, KU parking, but I see what you're doing.
**Parking:** While there is a need for parking tickets in some instances, Kansas goes above and beyond to ticket and charge for parking. For one, if I spend $100 to $200 each semester to battle for a parking spot on campus, I should get to leave my car there regardless if there is a football or basketball game. Moving a car from a spot because the University wants to make more money off parking so non-students don't have to walk up a hill during game day is excessive and ludicrous.
Unnecessary Campus Fees:
Per semester we pay a mandatory $428.95 for a multitude of services. Everything at orientation we were told was "free" isn't actually free - SafeRide, the rec
center, the buses on campus, the newspapers, Student Union and Student Senate activities, and student legal services. We also pay a fee for counseling and psychological services.
For at least some of these services, shouldn't we get to decide what services we want to pay for and use? I personally have never used SafeRide, but I think it's a wonderful idea. If I really needed a ride home, I wouldn't mind calling them and paying for a ride back to my place. If they were too expensive, I'd call a friend. Now that's what I call capitalism.
But instead, I'm paying around $430 for campus fees for services, half of which many of my peers and I don't use. That's about $3,400 in campus fees after four years of college. This also doesn't include fees if you take a class during the summer. There really is no such thing as a free lunch.
I once thought about doing a summer program through Kansas, but the cost was $8,000 just for tuition, room and board. I then found that going on my own to the same university or to
Study Abroad: Studying abroad is something many students aspire to do during college. I have found, though, that the general price for studying abroad not including spending and plane fare to cost an arm and a leg.
The University shouldn't make it impossible for students to study abroad. Unless you are willing to pay ridiculous prices for a university-endorsed program, you won't be studying abroad anytime soon. I suggest if you have the goal to study abroad, do it on your own.
a different university costs about half as much.
Resnet: It doesn't even work half the time and it's incredibly slow. If I'm paying $100 to $300 per semester for an internet provider, it better work all hours of the day.
There are many reasons the majority of college students accrue monumental debts during college. Frivolous fees like these don't help. Universities and colleges no longer put the interests of students first. If they did, they would be more concerned about a student's academic performance than a student's monetary value. How about a little more concern for the students who work full time jobs just to afford tuition or the students from out of state who have even higher tuition costs? Yes, this is an institution of "higher learning," but more than anything it's an institution which unduly nickels and dimes its students.
Transcripts: To have your transcripts sent from Strong hall and have a bureaucat put a stamp on an envelope, it will cost you anywhere from $10 to $45 depending on shipping method. If you want a transcript sent electronically, same day processing, it costs you $20. These high costs don't even merit a comment.

TRADITION
Whooping ruins Rock Chalk Chant
The Rock Chalk Chant is now being destroyed by those who whoop and holier during the chant. Only in the last few years has anyone interrupted the pre-game chant with whoops after each verse. Before, there was just spooky silence between verses. This year, the whooping has infected the victory chant during the last minute of games. I watched the Ft. Hays game from home, and the Rock Chalk Chant could hardly be heard at the end because of all the whoops between verses.
For 125 years, the Rock Chalk Chant has stood out from the cheers of other universities because it is so different. Others bluster and scream. The Rock Chalk Chant is slow, eerie, haunting. The pre-game chant causes foreboding in opponents. Its relatively new use as a victory chant at the end of games is spine-tingling and easily heard on TV, even from a small group at away games.
some changes in tradition are fine. This one is not! Don't let KU's hallmark cheer become just like everyone else's. Stop the whoop and save the Rock Chalk Chant!

RAP FROM PAGE 1A
With more people than ever before writing poems and fewer reading them, he said, rap is at least one way that people are exposed to poetry.
John Dillingham, a freshman from Houston, said he appreciated the University providing a forum for something that students really like. The message he took away from the lecture, he said, was "keep being active in what you feel passionate about."
Kenton Ramsby, a graduate student in English, was on the panel Thursday and is active in the study of hip-hop and literature. He
works with the Project on the History of Black Writing, an archival project that began in 1983 at the University of Mississippi. Initially devoted to collecting and preserving novels written by black people, the project has expanded to study black music, art and the politics of protest.
POP CULTURE PANEL
Rambsy and other bloggers on the project's website hope to legitimize rap music and make it a subject for serious literary criticism.
"Even though this music is good, to listen to in the clubs, we also want to appreciate the artistry of it," he said.
Edited by Laura Nightengale
The panel Thursday night included Nicole Hodges Persley, assistant professor of theatre, Glenn North, poet-in-residence at the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, Mo. Howard Rambsy II, associate professor of literature and director of the Black Studies Program at Southern Illinois University, and Kenton Rambsy, Anthony Bolden, an associate professor of African and African-American Studies, helped organize the event and has taught courses on hip hop at the University.

Mexican president's sister vies for governorship
MORELIA, Mexico (AP) Mexicans voted in the western state of Michoacan in a crucial political test Sunday for President Felipe Calderon in his home state, where his sister sought the governor's post.
WORLD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Voters also were electing 40 federal congressional representatives and 112 mayors following dozens of drug cartel-related attacks over the last two years targeting local officials in the state.
The vote count was going very slowly Sunday night. With less than less than 4 percent of the polling stations reporting, the governor's race was a dead heat.
The election was being watched as an indicator for Mexico's presidential election next year, for which opinion polls have been indicating that Calderon's conservative National Action Party, or PAN, will struggle to retain the presidency.
The vote results also would reflect more clearly on the president,
Luisa Maria Calderon promised to advance her brother's antidrug campaign and led in most opinion polls going into the vote, the last state election before the presidential contest in July. A victory would boost the morale of the PAN, which has held the presidency since 2000 but has been hurt recently by voter fatigue over drug violence.
whose sister, Luisa Maria "Cocoa" Calderon, ran for the governorship in the family's home state where the president launched his offensive against drug cartels in late 2006.
Such violence has been a main concern in Michoacan and many people feared it could disrupt Sunday's vote.
Jesus Zambrano Grijalvo, president of the leftist Revolutionary Democratic Party, or PRD, said his party sympathizers in a mountainous zone plagued by drug violence were being intimidated by organized crime gangs and pressured not to vote. Zambrano did not go into details at a news conference
Sunday.
Residents of the rural city of Cheran refused to let poll workers into their town amid demands for an election that they said would respect their customs and traditions. The indigenous Purepecha people who live in Cheran have in recent months wielded rifles and mounted roadblocks keeping out suspected illegal loggers and drug traffickers.
The Michoacan Electoral Institute said in a news release Sunday that officials were still unable to carry out elections in Cheran and were determining how the 16,000 residents there will elect their leaders. Voting continued elsewhere in the state, despite the problems in Cheran.
In the city of La Piedad, a local newspaper published on Sunday an unsigned note blaming the PAN for drug killings and threatening the party's supporters. News reports said the newspaper had been forced to publish the warning.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"Don't wear T-shirts or PAN
advertising because we don't want to confuse you and have innocent people die," read the note, which was also circulated by email.
It was not immediately clear who sent the email or published the newspaper ad, which came 11 days after La Piedad Mayor Ricardo Guzman was shot dead while handing out leaflets for several PAN candidates, including Luisa Martia Calderon. No arrests have been made in the attack.
Twitter users claiming to belong to the "Anonymous" hackers movement said they were behind an attack on the website of a party backing Luisa Maria Calderon. The tweets also said hackers attacked the Michoacan Electoral Institute's website, the site where election results are announced and which had been down for hours.
The PAN has yet to win a governorship in Michoacan, and the PRD has dominated federal offices and the presidential vote there since 2000. Local offices have been a toss-up between the PRD and the Institutional Revolutionary
Partv. or PRI.
Calderon faced PRD candidate Silvano Aureoles Conejo and Morelia Mayor Fausto Vallejo Figueroa of the PRI.
The PRI sought a victory in Michaocan to build momentum for regaining the presidency, which it lost to the PAN in 2000 after 71 years of single-party rule. The PRI so far is fielding the most popular pre-candidate in the presidential race, former Mexico state Gov. Enrique Pena Nieto.
"Whoever wins, their party will claim it helps for 2012, especially the current underdogs — PAN and PRD," said Shannon O'Neil, a Latin America expert for the U.S.-based think tank the Council on Foreign Relations.
The once-dominant PRD trailed the other two major parties in the Michoacan governor's race, according to opinion polls. As Michoacan's governing party for a decade, the PRD drew criticism for the state's drug violence.

Herman Cain's wife thinks claims are untruthful.
Herman Cain's wife says the claims of sex harassment against the GOP presidential candidate don't ring true because he "totally respects women." Gloria Cain told Fox News' Greta Van Suster that "I'm thinking he would have a split personality to do things that were said."
In an interview to be aired Monday during the show "On the Record," Gloria Cain said she can't released Sunday.
Four women have now accused Herman Cain of sexually harassing them when he led the National Restaurant Association. He has denied wrongdoing and has been trying to move forward in his presidential campaign.
Cain's wife of 43 years is often described as "gentle" and "the nicest woman you'll ever meet."
The two were married in 1968, have two adult children — a daughter, Melanie, and a son, Vincent — and grandchildren.

Martin wrote in an email that the law applies only to primary and secondary schools.
"But beyond the responsibilities that come from law or policy, the Chancellor also wanted to emphasize the moral obligation we each have," Martin wrote. "Especially when it comes to protecting children."
Coach Turner Gill addressed questions about KU Athletics policy during a press conference Tuesday. He said athletics department policy requires reporting of misconduct to department authorities.
"We have a list with phone numbers of everybody in our athletics department and there is a protocol that we explain to our players and staff," he said. "Whatever you do, all I ask you to do is to promise me that you don't isolate yourself."

Ohio explosion leaves one missing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FAIRBORN, Ohio (AP) — A house exploded in western Ohio on Saturday, sending six people, including three young children, to hospitals with burns and leaving one person missing, officials said.
Work was being done on the duplex's water line when the gas line was struck and ruptured, causing the explosion, Fairborn Fire Marshal Carl Day said. It is unclear whether anyone died in the blast. Investigators were still piecing together how many people lived in the duplex and where they were when the explosion occurred.
The house was demolished,
throwing debris and the victims
— including an infant — into the yard. Hours later, crews were still searching the rubble for the unaccounted person, believed to be an older man, Day said.
Neighbor Cybil Poole told the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/rJOh4f) that the explosion, which occurred 100 meters from her house, felt like a car hitting it. She said she saw the infant was burned, bloodied and covered in glass, and some of the other victims were still on fire.
"It was horrible. It was like a movie scene. You see this huge fireball and you see people come out of it on fire," she said. "If everybody made it out of there alive, it's truly a blessing."
Another neighbor, Paula Corelli, told the newspaper that she was almost hit by a flying piece of wood from the explosion. When she saw two adults running down the sidewalk carrying three bloodied children, she offered to take them while the adults returned to the scene.
"Medics told me to keep them awake because they had head injuries, so we sang to them, me and another woman," Corelli said. "And we didn't let them look back. It was still on fire and there was a lot of blood."
Some of the victims were airlifted to hospitals.
Day said four juveniles were among the injured: three children, ages 1, 3 and 5, as well as a teenager.
They were taken to Dayton Children's Medical Center, where the infant was listed in critical condition. Another child was still being examined, while two were expected to be treated and released, spokesman Terry Fink said.
The adult victims were taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where a supervisor declined to describe the extent of their injuries, citing privacy laws.

COMMENTARY
Fans owe more on Senior Day
Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Senior Day is supposed to be the one game where the student body can celebrate four years of dedication to the football program, but the scene at Memorial Stadium on Saturday was as disappointing in the stands as on the field.
Kansas' struggles have been a well-documented embarrassment this season, but if there was one game that the students really needed to show the team support, Saturday was it.
I could not help but feel sorry for Jeremiah Hatch, Tim Biere and Steven Johnson as they took the field for the Senior Day pre-game ceremony only to see a virtually vacant student section in the backdrop. I realize that the basketball season started Friday, which means that Kansas football goes on the back burner until September; however, the Kansas fan base owes the seniors more than what it showed on Saturday.
As this season progressed, coach Turner Gill's support among the Kansas faithful decreased dramatically. The dissipating attendance is probably the most telling aspect of where Gill stands amongst the Kansas faithful. If Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger needed any more reason to make a coaching change, all he had to do was gaze at Memorial Stadium's crowd; the support for this team and coaching staff is gone.
After attending Saturday's game against No. 25 Baylor, it's hard to believe that Kansas football once competed amongst the elites, winning the Orange Bowl in 2008. While the 2011 Jayhawks have taken defensive deficiencies and turned it into an art form under defensive coordinator Vic Shealy, the players have never quit working and fighting for wins.
As Gill perhaps hopelessly tries to retain his job, he not only needs to show improvement, but he also needs to win games. Kansas has yet to win a road game in Gill's tenure, but the Jayhawks nearly ended that streak against Iowa State last week, losing 13-10. Kansas looked to sustain much of last week's momentum against Baylor but it would all end on a sour note.
The Jayhawks absolutely dominated the first three quarters of the game, leading 24-3 in the fourth quarter. Although the game was not televised, word clearly spread of Kansas' strong showing on Senior Day, as the stands began to fill up midway through the third quarter. To the disappointment of the then-nearly full student section, Kansas would surrender a 21-point lead in eight minutes and lose in overtime. Saturday's showing painted a depressing picture of the current state of Kansas football and if Zenger doesn't make a change now, more seniors will see their hard work go unrecognized in the future.
Success on the football field will equal fans in the stands; it's as simple as that.

Sitting just three yards shy of the Jayhawks' first Big 12 win of the year, Turner Gill decided to end the game in its first overtime period. He could have prolonged it and kicked an extra point that would have sent the game into a second overtime, but instead, he went for the two-point conversion and the win.
The decision for Gill and his staff was an easy one. The Jayhawks are not bowl eligible; they were on a seven game losing streak and Gill's job had come further in to question every week.
"We gave it a shot and you can't fault us for that," sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said. "We were
going for the win. I wouldn't have done it any other way and I don't think anyone else would have."
Kansas came out in the shotgun, hoping to see man coverage from Baylor. When Baylor lined up, Kansas saw exactly what it wanted. Webb received the球 and threw the ball to his first option, Tim Biere. When the pass didn't fall into Biere's hands, Kansas fell, losing 31-30.
Baylor cornerback, sophomore Joe Williams, left his man to break up Webb's pass and give Baylor the victory.

Of the eight losses Kansas had suffered this season, this one may had been the toughest. Kansas blew a 24-3 fourth quarter lead. They allowed three Baylor touchdowns in the game's final 12 minutes. Baylor had the ball for just three minutes and thirty five seconds during that time span.
Losing on the final play of the game is not how any team wants to send off its seniors. For the 15 jayhawk seniors playing in their final home game at Memorial Stadium, the close loss couldn't have been any worse.
It appeared as if the Jayhawks
"it's probably the lowest I've seen them," defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said of his players.
were going to take a 17-0 lead into halftime, scoring their second touchdown of the game with 26 seconds left in the half. But, a questionable face mask penalty against Kansas allowed the Bears to hit a 37-vard field goal as time expired.
And the bad luck for Kansas continued.
Kansas looked like it would be the last team to have the ball, driving with less than one minute left in regulation. Kansas put themselves in favorable position and just needed a field goal to take the lead, but Webb threw an interception. Gill exploded on the sidelines. He and the crowd begged for a pass interference call. No flag was thrown and the game went into overtime.
"Sometimes it feels like were
cursed or something," Johnson said. "Nobody said a word after the game, usually you can hear a little bit of whispers and stuff, but it was completely silent in there. It was even hard for coach Gill to talk to us after the game."
The loss once again bolts down to Gill, who made the decision to go for two. He said he just had an instinct at the time to go for it, but it did not work and the jayhawks once again suffered a loss in conference play.
"We just came up a little bit short," Gill said. "It hurts."

Season ends in shutout loss to Georgia,2-0

Even with a packed house at Jayhawk Soccer Complex, Kansas soccer could not convert that energy into a victory against Georgia in the first round of the NCAA Soccer Championship, falling 2-0 on Sunday to finish the season 11-9-1.
junior midfielder Whitnev Berry kicks the ball unfield during the second half. Kansas lost to Georgia 0-2.
Throughout the match, the Jayhawks were limited on their scoring chances, mustering only four shots on goal in 90 minutes of play.
"Offensively we're normally pretty good, but today we just didn't create that many goal scoring opportunities," coach Mark Francis said.
Georgia defenders frustrated the Kansas offense knocking away any available chances.
"I don't think we were playing the right final ball in order to get a good scoring opportunity," junior forward Whitney Berry said.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Berry was the leading attacker for the Jayhawks on the day with three shots on goal. She also played all 90 minutes of the contest.
In the first half, Kansas kept the ball inside Georgia's area of the field but could not find a good look at the goal.
Georgia coach Steve Holerman said after the game that the Georgia and Kansas play very similar styles of soccer causing a temporary stalemate.
With the Jayhawks and Bulldogs mirroring each other during the first 45 minutes, both teams went into halftime hoping to break the tie.
In the 51st minute, Georgia finally found a seam in the defense when senior defender Jenna Buckley connected with senior forward Ashley Miller for the first goal of the game.
Seven minutes later, the Bulldogs added another goal when sophomore midfielder Alexa Newfield dribbed through the Jayhawk defenders and scored a well hit, left-footed goal to put the score at 2-0.
Kansas attempted to climb back into the match, but could not find any chances near the net.
Their best opportunity came in the last minute of the game when Kansas freshman forward Ingrid Vidal struck a ball that flew near the left side of the net. However, Georgia's junior goalkeeper Ashley Baker made an impressive save that negated the chance.
"We weren't very efficient with the balls in the final third and I think it made it a little easier on them defensively" Francis said.
The first came against Texas A&M on Oct. 2 and the second against Oklahoma Oct. 28.
This was the third time this year the layhawks had been shut out.
Although a disappointing end to the season, playing in the NCAA tournament was a memorable experience for the Jayhawks as their first tournament berth since 2008.

Soccer offers thrills to sports fans
MORNING BREW
The Jayhawks are out of the running for a NCAA soccer title, Sporting KC is officially done for the year and the World Cup isn't going on again until 2014.
Looks like it's time for us all to forget about soccer, right? As ashamed as I am to admit it, I sometimes forget about it for months at a time too, but that doesn't mean I'm not still a fan.
By Laura Sather
lsather@kansan.com
Soccer's one of those sports that you really have to love if you want to get into it. The biggest gripe I hear about soccer is how someone can watch for 90 minutes and never see a goal, or that same person can get up and grab a drink from kitchen, missing only about 30 seconds of the match, and miss a game-deciding play. And I agree; that part of soccer does, in fact, suck. But soccer has spontaneity, and watching Robin van Persie (yes, I'm an Arsenal fan; sue me) drill a ball into the upper corner of the net after a scoreless 89
minutes is thrilling.
It's that spontaneity that keeps me coming back to the sport. Just two weeks ago, the Kansas soccer team went head-to-head against Texas A&M in the Big 12 championship and lost after the game came down to penalty kicks. And for those of you who don't know, it takes a lot for a soccer game to come down to penalty kicks, but when
it does, you know it's been a phenomenal game.
You're on the edge of your seat, just waiting to see which way the goalie jumps as the ball comes off the kicker's foot. Every once in a while, a kicker will try to go high and into the back corner, and every so often, a sneaky ground ball will try and crawl into the net.
It's the little things that you've got to cheer for in soccer. You cheer for a base hit in baseball, right? Or for a first down in football? The same applies for soccer. If a defender makes a clean tackle, it's exciting. If your team gets a corner kick, you've got to be able to appreciate that. It's not just the goals that are exciting in soccer; it's the opportunities for them.
KU
So yeah, I understand when people say soccer sucks, but I heartily disagree. We're starting to embrace the soccer-loving culture here in the States and, more specifically, in Kansas. With Sporting KC's success this year, a lot more people are finding that they're fans.
But don't forget about all those great PKs and corner kicks now that the season's over. Your team will be back soon enough to wow you with more.

Robinson impresses despite foul trouble
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Bill Self has said he hopes this is Thomas Robinson's last season at Kansas. Although it is out of the ordinary for a coach to hope his starting power forward and All-American candidate leaves before his senior season, Thomas Robinson's situation is anything but ordinary. The struggles he's faced off the court the last 11 months are well-documented, and Robinson looks to have his eyes set on cashing an NBA paycheck by next summer.
With the NBA on the horizon and the fate of this Kansas season largely on his shoulders, he delivered in the season opener against Towson, finishing with 18 points and 11 re-bounds. It was the first of what could be many double-doubles this season and it caught the eye of Towson head coach Pat Skerry.
"He's locked in," Skerry said. "He's a savage. He has a tremendous motor, strength and energy. He's an NBA talent in my opinion."
However, the offensive onslaught wasn't without a fair share of defensive struggles. Robinson was forced to sit for seven minutes in the first half after picking up two quick fouls.
"I'm actually disappointed in this game," Robinson said of his defense.
"I was in the wrong place. It was on me no matter what."
The 18 points and 11 rebounds didn't stop him from some more self criticism. He said it wasn't a good game from him at all, mainly because his time on the bench with foul trouble allowed Kansas to get out-rebounded by Towson, 35 to 32.
"That was my fault," Robinson said. "I had those two dumb fouls, I had to sit out, and I wasn't able to help my team rebound. That's why the stats don't matter, it was a bad game."
Self agreed and said Robinson needs to guard his man better before he catches the ball in order to not be in a vulnerable position to pick up a cheap foul. He said better competition would have had Robinson fouled out fast.
That better competition could come by way of No. 2 Kentucky on Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden in New York City, Robinson called it "just another game" but Self said the Wildcats are "scary athletic." The obvious question is, will Friday's early foul trouble carry over to Tuesday night's matchup?
"Not at all," Robinson said. "I just got caught in the wrong place, that's all."

Goodrich powers Kansas with Davis sitting out
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Kansas had to fight for its 76-64 victory in its season opener. A physical Western Michigan team slowed down the Jayhawks, who had thrived in transition during their two exhibition games.
The Jayhawks played without junior forward Carolyn Davis who was recently named as one of the top forwards in the country by ESPN. Davis sat on the sideline in sweats with a boot on her right foot as she continued to battle a stress fracture. However, Davis sat in the first seat and was the first to each huddle.
"We throw it into her so much and rely on her shooting 70 percent, everybody feels good and we look good," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "That is not an excuse because injuries happen and you have got to step up and play."
Sophomore forward Tania Jackson was awarded the start in Davis' place. Henrickson said that with Davis out the team has to look to three other veterans: senior forward Aishah Sutherland and junior guards Monica Engelman and Angel Goodrich.
Goodrich took over the game with the first seven points of the game and first four of six in the second half.
Henrickson has been looking to Goodrich for a greater leadership role this season. The second-year captain and three-year starter stepped up accordingly, finishing with 13 points and seven assists. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland and junior guard Monica Engelman also scored in double digits with 14 and
17 points respectively.
Despite double-digit scoring, Henrickson was disappointed with the play of Sutherland and Engelman.
"With as many minutes as those two have played in their career I expected more," Henrickson said. "I didn't think they gave us what they should be able to."
Jackson stepped into Davis place with a 16 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes of play. She was surprised by the physicality of the Broncos.
"We need to be more physical and just throw a punch back," Jackson said. "We can't just sit down when they get aggressive with us."
Goodrich took two charges and recorded two floor burns. Despite coming up dizzy after a tumble in the second half she continued to go after the ball aggressively.
"I play for my team and if I have to sacrifice my body I will do it," Goodrich said.
The Jayhawks won the reboubeng battle against the Broncos, 39-35, which came as a relief to Jackson and Goodrich after the team struggled on the boards in exhibition.
The coaches established a reward system last week in practice where the players could earn a new sweat suit if they won 70 percent of their individual rebounding battles.
"It really stands out right now that we need to work on rebounding." Goodrich said. "I feel like we are going to the boards more, but not enough."
Kansas will host Creighton at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

Jayhawks showcase balanced offense in victory over Towson
Class of 2012 three-star forward Landen Lucas verbally committed to play for Kansas Sunday, Rivals.com confirmed, and is expected to sign a Letter-of-Intent on Tuesday. Lucas, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward from Portland, Ore., had offers from Washington, Geterouten and Arizona, among others. Lucas traveled to Lawrence this past weekend for the regular season opener against Towson on an official visit, and was expected to make his decision on a school shortly after. Rivals.com labels Lucas a good shooter with "outstanding" rebounding ability. He arrived on the recruiting radar last season after transferring to Nevada's Findley Prep, which has produced NBA players Avery Bradley, Tristan Thompson, Corey Joseph, and current Texas Longhorn Myck Kabongo. Now back in Westview at Lincoln, Lucas was named to the pre-season Oregon All-State first-team by David Auguste of ESPN.com. As of right now, Lucas will

Junior forward Kevin Young grabs a rebound in the first half of Friday's season opener against Towson. Young contributed 13 points and seven rebounds in just 14 minutes of playing time in the Jahawys' 100-54 victory. Kansas is now 1-0 for the season.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
The potential of junior forward Thomas Robinson has been no secret, even when the Morris twins starred and started ahead of him in seasons past. He's not the mystery of this year's team; it's the role players behind him. In Friday night's 100-54 victory against Towson in Allen Fieldhouse, these lesser known pieces were the key to an early onslaught that never ceased.
"If it's possible to be under-rated at 13th in the country, I think Kansas is," Towson coach Pat Skerry said.
"After getting a few layups, I had confidence in my shot," Releford said.
Junior guard Travis Releford, a complementary piece, exhibited his usual high pressure defense on Towson ball handlers, which translated into offensive chances. He attacked the basket with quick, sharp steps and sunk timely 3-pointers.
Coach Bill Self was unsatisfied with Releford in the team's first exhibition against Pittsburg State, but Friday was a different story.
Young slammed a few crowd-rousing dunks and had his strongest game of the season, finishing with 13 points and 7 rebounds.
The same could be said for junior forward Kevin Young, who Self said was the team's best rebounder against Towson.
"I'm still not sure how to react after a dunk." Young said. "At Loyola, I would pat my afro."
Despite Young's solid effort on the glass, Towson outrebounded Kansas 35 to 32. Robinson said that he should be fully responsible for the deficit after picking up two fouls and spending some unexpected time on the bench early in the first half.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson,
Only one of Robinson's 11 rebounds came before halftime. He led all scorers with 18 points, but could only be so satisfied after a game sprinkled with foul trouble. He took full blame for the so-so rebounding because he had to sit out a good portion of the first half with two fouls.
who missed the first two exhibitions because of suspension, returned and showed off improved jump shots. With the duo back in the starting lineup, Self can deploy a faster and more athletic team.
Their presence also helped the team protect the ball and extend possessions. Kansas recorded 30 assists compared to just 5 turnovers, none surrendered in the second half. Friday marked the first time that Self's team finished a half without a turnover since an 81-68 victory against Oklahoma on Feb. 22, 2010.
"We weren't as careless and I think in large part, we had our experienced guards out there." Self said.

Baylor's botched coin toss benefits Kansas
FOOTBAL
Kansas benefited from a Baylor mistake even before kick-off. After Kansas deferred its selection to the second half, a Baylor captain chose which end zone he wanted to defend instead of receiving the ball, giving the Jayhawks the ball at the start of each half.
LETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
"It wasn't what we said we wanted to happen," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "I was a little surprised they didn't let us change it because the two referees on our side asked me, 'What do you want to do coach?' I said, 'We want the ball.' Then they won't go out there and change it. The Big 12 needs to get that clarified. That should never happen."
Baylor's batched coin-toss call wasn't the strangest event that occurred on Saturday, but a foreshadowing of what would become a surprising and memorable game for Kansas.
In the middle of the second
quarter, sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb rolled out and tried to throw the ball to senior tight end Tim Biere. Webb was hit and the ball floated into the arms of an awaiting Baylor defender.
Webb didn't give up on the play, instead he got up, ran down the defender and laid a hit into him, jarring the ball lose up into the air.
A quarterback forcing a fumble happens after turnovers by the offense. What isn't seen every day is a 308-pound behemoth of a player tracking down the ball in the air and catching it, while nimbly navigating the sideline.
"I think I just put my head to the ball," Webb said. "I just went for the hit on the sideline, he reached it out and I popped it out."
Senior center Jeremiah Hatch did just that, preventing a Baylor touchdown by recovering the ball in the end zone and giving Kansas a touchback that placed the ball at the 20-yard line.
know I had it in me," Hatch said. "My teammates, they were happy and thought I made a good play and supported me"
Hatch's teammates were not as surprised that the big man had the moves and agility to make the play.
"I surprised myself. I didn't
"Hatch is a pretty athletic dude," Webb said. "He's got great handeye coordination, he's not the kind of guy you want to go out there and play horse with, he'll embarrass you."
The strange feeling continued into the second half as Kansas, the nation's last ranked defense in yards allowed held Baylor, the nation's second ranked offense in total yards to a mere 190 yards in the first three quarters.
The teams regressed to their norms in the third quarter as Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III rediscovered his scoring ability, throwing his touchdowns and running for one more to tie the game, then throwing one more touchdown in overtime of the Bears' 31-
But even the normally reserved Kansas coach Turner Gill stepped out of character when he shouted at the officials after they failed to call pass interference on the Jayhawks' final offensive snap of regulation. The overlook resulted in an interception and ended the team's options for a late game-winning score.
30 victory over the Jayhawks.
"The referee makes the call and that's the way it is," Gill said. "I see it one way but they had to make the call and that's the way it goes in a football game."
In the end, the Jayhawks' 31-30 defeat did not come at the hands of a game-winning touchdown or field goal, but instead on a failed two-point conversion attempt, quite the fitting end to a game that began with a botched call on the coin-toss.

Freshman running back Tony Pierson: Pierson showed why he is such an electric and elusive weapon for the Jayhawks, breaking tackles and averaging 8.8 yards per carry.
The glass is half empty: In the fourth quarter the Jayhawks reverted to form, as they lost their eighth consecutive game and remain winless in Big 12 play.
Gill made gutsy play calls all day, going for it on fourth down, and for the most part it worked. He seemed to turn the burners down with a 24-3 lead going into the fourth, but with a huge collapse, the burners are back on full-throttle.
GAME NOTES
GILL HOT SEAT WATCH
The glass is half full: The Jayhawks were in the game until the very end for the second consecutive week. They also held Robert Griffin III in check for three quarters, something teams have struggled to do for most of the year.
DELAY OF GAME
The Officiating: The Officials reviewed eight plays in the first half, slowing down the pace of play considerably, then badly missed a pass-interference call on the Jayhawks final drive in regulation. The Penalty would have set the Jayhawks up for a game-winning field goal try, but instead the play ended in an interception.

Sophomore receiver Chris Omigie: Omigie had a false start that turned a third and short into a third and long. Webb threw an interception that ended a Jayhawk scoring opportunity on the next play.
B. R. BEEVEN
The Jayhawks showed improvement, and it was nice to see them competitive at the end of the game, but the Jayhawks need to figure out how to finish off games or else the fan base will remain disappointed.
STILL QUESTIONING
How could the Jayhawks allow such big gains in the fourth? With a three-score lead, the team has to be expecting a vertical passing attack, yet the defense looked unprepared when Baylor started to throw downfield.
KADEN
LOOKING AHEAD
The Jayhawks travel to College Station, Texas to try and get their first Big 12 victory of the season. It could be tough, as the Aggies were ranked up in the top-10 at one point this season and will be hungry to become bowl eligible.

NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
The Jayhawk swimming and diving teams lost to the rival Missouri Tigers 185-102 at Robinson Natatorium Friday night, winning just four out of the 16 events.
The Kansas swimmers showed a spark as they came out and won three straight event after losing the opening 400-yard medley relay. Junior Rebecca Swank finished first in the 1,000 yard-freestyle with a time of 10:09.94. Following Swank's win, senior captain Shannon Garlie finished first in the 200 free with a time of 1:51.93. Freshman Deanna Marks earned her third win in a row as she won the 100 backstroke with a time of 56.36.
"I thought we performed at a pretty high level," said Kansas coach Clark Campbell. "Of the
three ranked teams we have swam against this season, this was our best performance."
The meet could have gone differently had the Jayhawks been at full strength going into the meet. There were four members that did not compete because of either injury or sickness.
"It was unfortunate not to have them, but Rebecca Swank had a really big swim in the 1,000 free and Shannon Garlie stepped up huge in both the 100 and 200 free. Morgan Sharp and Shelby Cox both had really good swims and Deanna Marks continued to impress," said Campbell.
Sharp claimed the only other victory for the Jayhawks when she won the 500 free (5:01.45). Cox had solid performances in her events, finishing the 50 free in 24.81 and the 100 free in 53.91.
"I don't think the scoreboard
showed how great we did," said Cox. "We all swam really well individually"
There were other strong performances including the transfer from Russia, Svetlana Golovchun. Golovchun finished second in the 50 free (24.13) making it three straight meets that she has finished second or better. Stephanie Payne finished second in the 400 IM (4:26.99) and Kath Liggett came in third in the 100 fly (59.17).
The two divers had solid performances with a second place finish in the three-meter dive by Alysse Golden (246.96). Christy Cash finished third in the one-meter with a time of 265.43.
The Jayhawks will have a week off before they face the University of Nebraska-Omaha at Robinson Natatorium on Nov. 19.

Men's and women's cross country fail to make NCAAs
MAX GOODWIN
mggoodwin@kansan.com
The men's and women's cross country teams failed to move on to the NCAA Nationals on Saturday. The men's team finished in eighth place in the NCAA Regional meet, and the women finished in ninth place. Despite the disappointing results, there were some bright spots on the final day of the Jayhawks cross country season.
"I think we're better than what we showed today," assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said. "It's great to see senior Kara (Windische) go out on probably her best collegiate race and end things on a high note. It's tough though, to know there's still another cross country race this season that we
won't be at."
Seniors Rebeka Stowe and Kara Windische were both recognized as members of the All-Region team by finishing in the top 25. Stowe ran the Northern Illinois University 6k course in 21:38.86, and Windische was right behind her at 21:39.61. They were the 20th and 21st runners respectively to cross the finish line.
"The key for me was getting out fast, and I think I did really well with that today. I was working with Stowe and just trying to keep with her as long as I could and it worked out really well for me." Windische said.
Once again, senior Austin Bussing led the men's team with a time of 32:07.40 and a 32nd place finish. Bussing was the only senior on the men's team who ran in the race, junior Zach Zarda finished in 34th place with a time of 32:12.17, and junior Josh Baden finished just four seconds later in 38th place.
"The men got out in a really good position at the start," Whittlesey said. "The pace was comfortable, and it didn't really pick up until the second half of the race. I thought our pack did a really good job moving along in the middle part of the race, too." The runners will now transition into the indoor track season.

Battered and bruised Chiefs run over by Broncos run game at home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Matt Cassel stood on the sideline helplessly, watching backup quarterback Tyler Palko run the Chiefs' two-minute offense. Held been bruised and battered by the Denver Broncos, so much so that the Kansas City training staff wouldn't let him play.
The ugly truth was that Cassel didn't do much when he was on the field Sunday.
None of the Chiefs did.
Tim Tebow completed only two passes, one of them a 56-yard touchdown throw to Eric Decker, and the Broncos rumbled their way to a humbling — even humiliating — 17-10 defeat of Kansas City.
"I was a little banged up, so that's what kept me out," said Cassel, who refused to discuss any details of the
Palko led the Chiefs to a field goal in the closing seconds, but Denver recovered the onside kick to seal the win. Palko said he didn't know why he was told to go into the game, and Cassel vowed that he'll be ready for next Monday night's game against New England.
"He was beat up there at the end. He was unable to go physically," said Chiefs coach Todd Haley, when pressed about Cassel's injury. "We'll have to see as the week goes on, but it was physical."
He sure wasn't very effective, though.
Cassel was 13 of 28 for 93 yards and a touchdown, and the Chiefs managed 258 yards of total offense, a performance every bit as ugly as last
"A lot of people will assume the world has ended for our team, the season has ended," Haley said. "It's a four-horse race, the season is going to continue on, and we're in a position where if we come out and play better football we'll be in position, as we are now."
The Chiffs (4-5) are in a three-way tie with San Diego and Denver, all chasing the AFC West-leading Oakland Raiders (5-4), who knocked off the Chargers on Thursday night.
Denver was won three of four since coach John Fox made Tebow the starter.
November 14-18,2011
Scrapping a large chunk of his playbook and putting in an option-style attack, the Broncos have somehow made it work. Tebow finished 2 of 8 for 69 yards.

VOLLEYBALL
Team earns second conference win of season
MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com
Powered by a nearly-flawless day from its senior outside bitter, the Kansas volleyball team captured its first conference road win of the season this weekend.
Allison Mayfield finished with a career-high 22 kills as the Jayhawks (14-12, 2-11) defeated the Texas Tech Red Raiders (15-13, 1-12) on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. 20-25, 25-19, 25-21, 25-16.
Mayfield, who also had only two errors in 50 total attempts, said she was locked in and had one of the best individual performances of her career.
"I honestly wasn't aware of that until after the game," Mayfield said of her career-high kills. "I'm more excited about having only two errors, because that's something I've been working on."
After losing the first set on an attacking error and falling behind 0-4 in the next frame, the Jayhawks rebounded to take the
second, third and fourth sets on kills by Mayfield, freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton and sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, respectively. McClinton and Jarmoc would finish with 13 kills each.
Coach Ray Bechard said the team was able to carry over some momentum from its near-upset of the Texas Longhorns last Saturday.
"I feel like we're playing some good volleyball, and this is a good time of year to be doing it," Bechard said.
Jarmoc and junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree each had six blocks against the Red Raiders, who came into the game leading the Big 12 in that category. Jarmoc said the seven day break between games helped the team refocus and recover.
"Our bodies are all kind of wearing out toward the end of the season," jarmoc said. "It was a good break physically as well as mentally so we can regroup and
refocus for the end of the season."
Senior setter Nicole Tate finished with a double-double with 15 digs and 45 assists. It was her fourth double-double of the season.
"She played awesome," Mayfield said. "She was doing a good job in keeping our team together in system. She made a lot of great, smart decisions."
The victory was the second conference win of the season for Kansas, both coming against Texas Tech. Mayfield and the Jayhawks will look to continue their late-season push at home on Wednesday against No. 25 Oklahoma.
"We're looking forward to our last three games," Mayfield said. "We think we have a good shot at winning all three of these. We feel like this was a good jump start and we have a good opportunity to rally these last three games."

Quidditch team falls in Sweet 16 at World Cup
HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
UDITICE
Chaser Jodi Murphy struggles to break free from Utah players Saturday. Kansas won the match 80-60.
NEW YORK — Close to 100 teams and 2,000 athletes battled on broomsticks for two days, all wanting to be crowned the International Quidditch Association World Cup champion.
Kansas quidditch players started the weekend wanting to prove they deserved their No. 2 ranking in the world. Instead, they fell in the Sweet 16 to Minnesota with a score of 70-40.
"Other teams they watched us, they see our talent, they see what we have going on at Kansas", captain Doug Whiston said. "People recognize that we are a good team and we collapsed in one game."
Kansas started the weekend by going 3-1 in pool play. The team defeated Vermont 170-0 in Kansas' World Cup debut. The game was highlighted by the snitch runner (a player that must be caught to end the game) stealing Kansas' seeker's (the player that must catch the snitch-runner) broom.
DAY 1
Next, the Jayhawks played Utah, a team they perceived to be their toughest opponent in pool play. Kansas defeated Utah 80-60. The Kansas players said that after a Utah player was injured with what appeared to be a dislocated shoulder, the Utah team lost focus and simply became too aggressive.
In Kansas' third pool play match against Ringling College from Sarasota, Fla., the Jayhawks appeared to have let the 40-degree New York weather get to them, but they still pulled out the win, 60-50.
The Jayhawks headed into their final match in pool play against Hofstra. Whiston explained after the game that the Kansas players just could not click on offense and dropped the match 40-30 after Hofstra snatched the snatch and was awarded 30 points.
DAY 2
MIKE GUNNOE/KANSAN
Kansas did not play until Sunday afternoon when bracket play started. The team was seeded eleventh and played against Virginia Commonwealth University.
Kansas basketball fans will remember that VCU defeated the men's basketball team in the Elite Eight during last year's tournament.
The Kansas quidditch team used the energy from knowing they couldn't let VCU beat another Kansas team in another tournament. From singing the "Rock Chalk Chant" before the match to the final moments, the quidditch team looked unstoppable against the Rams.
The offense moved swiftly, taking advantage of fast breaks to run down to the hoops and, in a sense, dunk the quaffle (a volleyball). VCU put points up on the board toward the end of the match, but by then it was much too late. Kansas was up 100-20 when the snitch runner returned to the pitch after being released to run and hide from the Kansas and VCU seekers.
Kansas pulled out a 100-50 victory.
The Jayhawks continued to try to stay warm before they faced Minnesota in their Sweet 16 game. Kansas captains Nicole Denney and Whiston were confident in their team's ability to play their game and stay focused.
However, when the announcer yelled, "Brooms up!" Minnesota proved more than Kansas could handle.
"We play against ourselves, which means we play really spread out," beater Kate Cooley said. "We need
The Kansas chasers (offensive players) took off down the field with the speed and agility that they have become famous for in the quidditch world, but they ran into a wall of Minnesota defenders, a style of play Kansas has not faced before.
to learn how to play on a packed defense. We need to learn how to play other teams that aren't just like us"
Minnesota played relentlessly. The Minnesota offense did to Kansas what the Jayhawks had done to VCU only a match before. The Kansas beaters (defenders) fell flat and lost control of the midfield, allowing the Minnesota chasers free reign at the Kansas hoops. One chaser had the entire Kansas half of the field open at one point when he scored.

THE EXPERIENCE
"We are playing quidditch here on the biggest stage," Whiston said. "We are in New York City. There is nothing like it. You step out onto Times Square, you see all the lights and you know you're here."
"It was an interesting first World Cup I suppose," Cooley said. "The losses are so poignant right now, but looking back on it, I think we will be glad we came."

MAKING MONEY
THE PARKING MARKET
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
Students living near the north and south ends of campus make money and learn lessons in raw capitalism as they sell parking in their yards and driveways during football and basketball games.
In November, the market for basketball parking is just gearing up on the south end, while opportunities to sell football parking dry up to the north. Each area is home to an informal economy of parking and dollars where student renters and landlords exist in a state of tension.
That tension sometimes comes from competition. Ashley DeSandre, a senior from Pocono Lake, Pa., said she didn't appreciate competing with a local landlord as she sold parking spots on the 1800 block of Maine Street before the basketball game against Fort Hays State last Tuesday. The landlord she referred to owns two duplexes and 14 parking spaces at the north end of the block.
"We don't like him," she said.
"This is for students. This is paying my bills."
Gretchen Windholz and her husband own these duplexes at the north end of the block. She sold spaces for $15 and said she, too, expected business to pick up as the season progresses. She said she paid each of the tenants, who are mostly students, 10 percent of the proceeds.
Students selling parking may be amateurs, but they do take into account the weather, supply and demand, and the competition when setting prices and negotiating with customers.
DeSandre stood in the rain on Tuesday, more than an hour before tipoff, selling spaces for $10. She affixed numbers to a sign with Velcro to allow price changes as she advertised parking to cars stuck in heavy traffic on 19th Street. She had 10 parking spots to sell and said she expected more business as the season picks up steam and bigger teams come to town.
"The goal is to sell all of the spots, and we try to keep our
prices under the parking department," DeSandre said of their parking competitors.
KU Parking & Transit advertises parking for $20 in the lots just up the block from DSeandre, south of the Robinson Health and Physical Education Center and across the street from Allen Fieldhouse. Most lots in the area are reserved for permit holders.
Prices varied between $10 and $15 along 19th Street on Tuesday and Friday nights, before the games against Fort Hays State and Towson, respectively.
Alise Bennett, a University alumna from Kansas City and Lawrence resident, sold spaces in her driveway for $10. She has sold parking at this and another nearby location in previous years, and said the prices depend on a variety of factors that include weather, the significance of the game and location. She said some visitors probably consider difficulties getting into traffic after the

meat-loving family. In fact, they order their mock meat from a specific company in New York City. Birdie says that her family usually eats a basic faux meat and vegetable meal for Thanksgiving.Birdie has tried Tofurky, a meat that imitates turkey, and said that the taste varies depending on where it is produced.
"If you think about it, a vegetarian could eat most of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner," Chapman said. "If they have the traditional raal, it includes the green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, whipped potatoes, dinner rolls, and usually there is a fruit salad, tossed salad, corn and broccoli."
Ann Chapman, a registered dietitian, said that despite diet restrictions, a variety of foods are still available to vegetarians and vegans.
"Tofukyr has to be made well for people to like it," Birdie said. "I think it sometimes gets a negative reputation because people haven't had it prepared properly."
The Merc, located at Ninth and Iowa streets, sells a whole Tofurky line which includes Tofurky roasts, whole wheat bread crumb stuffing and gravy. Tofurky is composed of tofu, a soybean product. The store also offers vegan baking mixes and an alternative whipped topping for pie.
For many, Thanksgiving is a time of appreciation, family, friends and food. Food, whether it is vegetarian or traditional, is an important aspect of the holiday, Sherman said that as a vegan she has developed a new respect for food and where it comes from.

"You have a lot more value in your food, especially when you are trying to eat more vegetables and fruits," Sherman said. "You want to slow down and take the time to appreciate each bite."

In the front lawn of Skyler Adamson's home in east Lawrence stands a three-foot persimmon tree. Though surrounded by leaves, the tree has no leaves of its own. Referred to as a whip, the unbranched tree appears more like a stick in the ground than a rooted plant.
Adamson refers to the tree as his Charlie Brown Christmas tree. Halfway down the ChapStick-sized trunk is a small knot, bisected by a diagonal line. The bark above and below the knot is noticeably different in color. The knot is called a graft union, and according to Adamson the fruit-producing top portion of the tree, called the scion, was grafted from the persimmon tree in front of Strong Hall.
Grafting is the latest turn in Adamson's long relationship with the Strong Hall persimmon tree.
"I've been eating from it for about 10 years or so." Adamson said.
He said he's also gleaned from the pear trees near the Chi Omega Fountain and black walnut trees in Marvin Grove.
Adamson is not alone in his foraging of campus edibles. Kelly Kindscher, a professor in the environmental studies department, said there were between 30 to 40 edible producing plants on campus. There was a long history of eating from these plants, Kindscher said. Students and community members typically found the more easily identifiable plants — like the persimmon and pear trees — on their own. However, edible flowers and greens — like the viburnum and lambquarter — are more often found through word of mouth.
Adamson said he was able to identify persimmon trees by their trunks alone. He described the trees down to the white freckles that
TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS
"For facilities, the fruit comes down and makes a mess, like the pear orchard up by the fountain," Lang said. "It's great that people pick them up and use them as far as I'm concerned."
Kindscher said along with proper identification, it is important to make sure you have permission to take from the plant and to find out whether the plant has been sprayed with any chemicals.
In June, city ordinance 14-304 was changed to allow residents to pick fruit off public trees. Before the change, residents could pick up only the fruit and nuts that had fallen on the ground. Mike Lang-campus landscape maintenance project manager, said fruit picking was never been an issue on campus. As long as people did not endanger themselves or the plant, he didn't have a problem with it.
Eric Farnsworth suffered the consequences of eating a fruit without the proper knowledge. After hearing from a friend about the ginkgotree behind Strong Hall, Farnsworth attempted to harvest the fruit for himself. His friend told him to wear gloves, he said, and he thought this was because of the strong odor of the fruit's outer flesh. After cleaning the fruit, he found that the gloves
covered the smooth gray branches. Adamsson said he was familiar with most fruit trees; however, if he were unsure he would consult friends.
"There is quite a bit of knowledge that goes into gathering fruit and food in general," Kindscher said. "To use plants, people need to know their identification; some can be pretty tricky. So, you need to be careful."

HONOLULU
President Barack Obama says the colorful Hawaiian aloha shirts are out when it comes to world leaders.
Obama on Sunday chose not to continue a tradition started by President Bill Clinton nearly two decades ago.
The 21 leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Obama's native Hawaii were photographed together in the customary, stodgy presidential wear — neckties and dark suits — not the casual aloha shirts that many were hoping to see them in.
There wasn't even a single floral lei.
"I got rid of the Hawaiian shirts because I looked at pictures of some of the previous APEC meetings and some of the garb that appeared previously and I thought this might be a tradition that we might want to break," Obama said.
HOUSTON
A Texas man accused of attempting to sneak out of the country with restricted U.S. military documents, money and equipment in order to join al-Qaida was convicted Monday of trying to help the terrorist organization.
Barry Walter Bujol Jr. was convicted of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and aggravated identity theft. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
Bujol, who is a U.S. citizen, represented himself at his trial, which was heard at his request by a judge instead of a jury. The verdict by U.S. District Judge David Hittner came after a trial that lasted less than four days, with testimony ending last week.
NEW YORK
The stock market fell Monday after a jump in Italy's borrowing costs reminded investors of how much work remains to be done to contain Europe's debt problems.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost nearly 75 points. European markets also fell and the euro weakened against the dollar.
Major indexes closed higher last week as Greece and Italy took steps toward getting their debt troubles under control. New governments are taking over in both countries, which are at the center of the crisis.
The Italian government had to pay 6.29 percent at an auction of five-year bonds, the highest rate since 1997. Italy paid a much lower rate of 5.32 percent at a similar auction last month.
LONDON
The parties will be at the palace at least during next year's Summer Olympics.
Queen Elizabeth II has approved renting out fancy rooms at St. James's Palace as party venues during the 2012 London Olympics.
Buckingham Palace says holders of royal warrants — companies with longstanding ties to the royal family — will be given a chance to rent the rooms, called state apartments, during the games, which begin July 27 and last until Aug.12.
A palace spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined Monday to say which state apartments would be available, but the palace has the Throne Room, the Tapestry Room and the Queen Anne Room, among others.

Harvard professor alum to visit campus
Former vice chairman of Goldman Sachs, Robert S. Kaplan, will speak on campus Thursday and Friday.
Kaplan, a professor at Harvard Business School, was with Goldman Sachs until 2005. He is also a University alumnus.
Kaplan will speak at the Dole Institute of Politics 7:30 p.m. Thursday, and at the Gridiron Room in the Burge Union at 11:30 a.m. Friday. Both events are free and open to the public.

Administrator elected to AMA Board of Trustees
A KU administrator will have the chance to wield influence over the American Medical Association, the University announced Monday.
Julie Goonewardene, associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship, was elected to the AMA's Board of Trustees as a public member, the third person to fill the position since its creation in 2001.
The AMA is the largest association of doctors and medical students with 215,000 members. Goonewardene hopes her position will help boost the University's profile.
"I look forward to supporting physicians
and patients as we work on our nation's health care challenges, as well as promoting KU's incredible health assets to partners nationwide." Goonewardene said in a news release.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said Goonewardene's position would draw attention to research at the University.
"Not only will Julie contribute to the AMA's mission, but she'll also be an ambassador for KU and help connect our researchers and health care practitioners with opportunities nationwide," Gray-Little said in a release. "This will benefit her effort to drive innovation, job creation and the commercialization of research here at KU."

Barber lets clients name their price
CANTON, Ohio — An Ohio barber whose customers are cutting back on haircuts is trying to boost business by letting people trim prices to what they can afford.
Gregory Burnett has put a sign in the front yard of his Canton shop that reads "Times are hard" and "Pay what you can pay for a cut."
The Repository newspaper reports Burnett has accepted as little as $5 for haircuts normally
Burnett says his name-your price deal helps both him and the community.
He's trying to appeal to customers such as Mike Cheek, whose visits used to be every few weeks but are now separated by months. Cheek says he sometimes lets his son or other relatives cut his hair these days, or tries to "mess with it" himself.

game, too.
"I don't know the psychology of it, but I guess people have their patterns in what they look for," Bennett said.
Two of her customers, Jeff Coburn and his mother, Debbie, of Beloit, said they paid $10 to park at Bennett's house by chance after passing several other locations advertising for $10 or more.
"To be honest with you, I think the economy's jacked," he said. "You do the math on buying gas to drive here from Baylor."
Spaces sold for $15 and $20 along Ninth Street between Illinois and Missouri streets, and for $20 in the parking lots of Cork & Barrel and Papa John's Pizza on Mississippi Street. At the end of that block on 10th Street, Scott Werly, a junior from Chicago, was still trying to sell his six parking spaces less than
"We were a little indecisive and sort of rolled the dice and see if we can get a little closer and not have to walk," he said. "We sort of just pulled in when we got antsy," Jeff said.
The streets on both ends of campus this time of year are an unregulated and volatile marketplace. Students were charging more for parking near the north end of campus on Saturday for the football game against Baylor. Parking fees were down there, too, but for other reasons, according to Paul Finch, a maintenance supervisor at the Berkeley Flats apartment complex, 1123 Indiana Street. He was helping the owner sell parking for $20, but has seen prices as high as $50.
"Just don't tow my car," Debbie said.
an hour before kickoff. One can drove away after a brief negotiation for $15, $5 less than his asking price of $20.
"Aw, you cheap bastard." Werly shouted after the driver.
Werly said sales were down and Kansas football's losing record was not helping. He didn't think many Baylor fans were coming in from Waco, Texas.
Jami Deghang, a third-grade teacher from Topeka, held a sign advertising "Park and Potty, $15" on the 900 block of Illinois Street.
"It's a double bonus," she said. Deghang had 35 spots for sale at two houses owned by her brother. The students, she said, were not involved in the sales and were simply enjoying the day by partying and playing beer pong.
Patrick Carter, a senior from Lenexa, was one of those students and rents one of those houses, where cars were packed on the lawn from the sidewalk to the front steps.
"We really don't like it," he said.
"We could sell it. Instead, they sell it and get the money. It's just implied. We get nothing out of the deal. She complains and the customers complain that we're too close to the cars. We still have fun, though."
People parking cars on lawns, as many were on both ends of campus last week, can be cited by the police for violating a city ordinance, according to a notice distributed among houses south of campus at the beginning of the basketball season. The notice said police will ticket cars on lawns or blocking sidewalks with fines ranging from $30 to $100 dollars, even when visitors have permission from residents.

A GROWING TREND
Kindscher said despite the provisions involved with foraging he still encouraged people to go out and pick from the wild. Though he gets most of his produce from his garden, Kindscher said he continues to forage for wild fruit.
While an undergraduate at Kansas, Boog Highberger ate from the campus landscape. In 1989, a few years after graduating, Highberger created a guide to the campus food, titled "Eatting KU"
Highberger's interest in edible landscapes, like Skylier Adamson's, has continued to grow over the years. Highberger now serves on Douglas County's Local Food Policy Council. He said local organic food was gaining interest.
"There seems to be a movement," Highberger said. "It's different than anything I've seen since I've been interested."
Kindscher said he had also noticed a bigger push toward local organic food over the past few years. He said he thought the greater interest might have come from concerns for the environment, self-sufficiency, and quality of food.
Skyler Adamson has become
a large part of the movement in Lawrence because of his efforts in establishing the Lawrence Fruit Tree project. He said his interest in self-sustainability began with foraging fruit trees, like those on Campus.
"I liked eating fruit and I didn't like paying for it." Adams said.

Adamson said the goal of the Lawrence Fruit Tree project was to create a multipurpose landscape, from which people could gain shade as well as esthetic and nutritional value. He, with the help of other members of the Lawrence Fruit Tree project, has planted grafted fruit trees in several locations around town, including New York Elementary school and the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
Jason Hering, a recent graduate of the University, said his interest in local food began with the gleaning of Campus pear trees and had continued to thrive through his participation with the Lawrence Fruit Tree project and the KU Student Farm.
Students occasionally eat from the persimmon tree that grows in front of Strong Hall. The fruit, when ripe, has a spicy-sweet flavor.
Hering helped found the KU Student Farm, a plot of land near the Lawrence Municipal Airport available for KU students, faculty and staff to grow their own food. He said he has continued to see an increase in participation. The farm
began in the summer of 2010 with a single plot and by July of this year had 23 plots, according to its blog.
Highberger said he wasn't sure whether the increase in interest in local food had created more Campus fororgers or not. The persimmon tree in front of Strong Hall continues to be well known for its
large, sweet fruit, though, he said he was amazed there was enough fruit to go around. Highberger said he no longer foraged on Campus.
"I won't be competing against you for those," Highberger said.

The challenges of being a grad student
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
This fall, graduate students accounted for almost 10 percent of those enrolled at the University of Kansas. But outside of taking a class taught by a graduate teaching assistant, undergraduates have little contact with graduate students. Two graduate students discuss what motivated them to continue their education, how it has affected their lives and what they want to do with their newly accumulated knowledge beyond academia.
Jordan Wade, a second year graduate student in American Studies from Charlotte, N.C., took a two-year break between completing her degree at the University of Richmond and coming to the University of Kansas. In those two years, she worked for non-profits in California and Texas, an experience that fueled her desire to go back to school.
"While I was very emotionally fulfilled, I wasn't intellectually fulfilled in what I was doing," Wade said. "I decided to come back to school for me, because I really love to learn and I'm curious about a lot of things."
But she quickly discovered that learning in graduate school was very different from her experiences as an undergraduate.
"You're learning more about less and less," she said. "You're
getting really deep into random stuff not a lot of people know about."
Her research focuses on yoga culture in the United States, including how yoga is viewed as a liberal, hippie practice when the people actually practicing yoga are primarily upper class. Wade found that the history of how yoga was introduced to America also needed to be explored in greater detail.
Diving into a subject with little guidance is another crucial difference between undergraduate and graduate work.
"You don't get hand-holding." Wade said. "You don't get someone to guide you through it."
Being self-motivated and aware of what you need to do to advance in your chosen field is essential, Wade said.
But the most challenging part of her experience has been balancing her own classes with research, being a GTA and having a social life.
Teaching and preparing for two American Studies 100 courses twice a week adds up to 40 hours per week of work. Wade said. Still, she finds teaching rewarding and feels that she learns things from her students that she might not have had a chance to stumble upon without them.
"I like the rapport that I can have with students," she said. "I think a lot of times the material
I'm teaching doesn't seem that far removed from their lives. I teach race, class, gender and sexuality in modern America. Those are things that everybody encounters every day."
In addition to the time she spends teaching, her own course load often requires her to read 600 to 700 pages a week. Research is also very time-consuming, leaving her little time for a life outside of work.
Leading what she describes as a monastic existence is a problem that played a large role in Wade's decision to take a break and work for several years before returning to school to earn her Ph.D.
"I'm not ready to commit another five years right now," she said. "I'm a very social person, so it's a personal thing in a lot of ways. I still believe 100 percent in the value of learning and teaching and academics, and I love the teaching part so much. But the being alone so much, I'm less interested in that right now."
Daniel McCarville, a second year graduate student in political science from McCook, Neb., has had a very different experience as a graduate student. McCarville's research focuses on computer simulations.
"Basically, what I do is build computer programs that work like governments and politics do, so we can understand the inner workings we don't get to see," he
said. "You can't see what goes on behind closed doors, but you can create a program that creates the same results."
After studying engineering as an undergraduate at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, he became interested in how society, like a machine, might work within certain parameters.
Like Wade, McCarville feels students in graduate school have to be very independent.
He is also familiar with the pressure associated with being in graduate school, where the expectation is that your research will bring some new information or understanding to the table.
McCarville's research topic is largely based on computer simulations and does not require as much time-consuming research. He also does not work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, but McCarville does have to juggle his course work and research with his child, who has given him perspective about his academic experience.
"It definitely takes a lot of time out of my day and makes you reorganize your priorities," he
A PROFESSOR SPEAKS:
LIFE AFTER GRADUATE SCHOOL
Rob Schwaller, an assistant professor of history, earned his Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University in 2010 and is now in his first year of teaching at the University. He said the transition from graduate student to professor was smooth, in part because of their similarities.
Professors and graduate students both apply for grants and spend time researching. As a teaching assistant, he also accrued teaching experience that allowed him to feel comfortable as a professor. But there are some differences.
"It's a lot of the same with more pressure and more responsibility in certain areas," he said. "The pressure in graduate school is, 'Can I finish my dissertation?' The pressure for a new faculty member is, 'Can I continue to produce so I can get tenure?'"
The skills he acquired in graduate school have helped in his transformation from student to teacher.
"Academics has this odd diffused pressure," Schwaller said. "If in grad school you were able to develop a good sense of time management, that will help you through being a new faculty member."
McCarville will be exploring the world outside of academia next year when he expects to have completed his master's. He is interested in pursuing a career in academic development, but still appreciates the personal
benefits attending grad school has given him.

"In political science, you talk so much about politics that you really understand what you think about things," McCarville said. "But even beyond that, the greatest benefit is getting to work with other people that are really interested in the same subject. Sometimes you feel like you're the only person in the world that cares about what you do. But then you're surrounded by a group of people that are all interested in the same subject and you get to hear their ideas."

LOS ANGELES — One season and she's out: Tennis star Anna Kournikova won't be returning to "The Biggest Loser."
Kourikova was one of two trainers brought aboard to join Bob Harper after jilien Michaels left the show last season. Known for her glamazon good looks, she struck some as a curious choice. But Kourikova said she had plenty in common with the obese contestants on NBC's reality weight-loss show: Years in the media spotlight left her struggling with feelings of inadequacy and insecurity about her looks.
However, her tenure got off to a rocky start. This season's theme is "Battle for the Ages," pitting youth against oldsters. Kournikova ended up with the senior set, and they have struggled, losing several weigh-ins and challenges. Moreover, she created conflict with several of the players — and made no friends with viewers — with a less-than-sympathetic demeanor.
(Good-natured joe, for example, bristled when Kournikova essentially told him to man up and get over some of his issues.)
Each week, during media conference calls with the eliminated players, contestants sang Kournikova's praises (including Joe, who was eliminated last week but said he credited Kournikova as being key to his weight-loss success). But the Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news about Kournikova's departure, hinted that Kournikova was clashing with folks on and off camera.
Representatives for the show and for Kournikova were unavailable for comment. The Hollywood Reporter said Kournikova gave no reason for the departure beyond wishing everyone well: "I enjoyed my time on the Biggest Loser ranch. Although I will not be returning as a full time trainer on season 13, I will always be a part of The Biggest Loser family and my commitment to bettering lives through health and fitness will continue."

Musical lawsuits that don't involve Bieber
SHOWER POWERS
Never fear! There are other musical lawsuits around to drum up interest. Here are our favorites.
NEW YORK — Sure, that Justin Bieber paternity lawsuit got everyone in an uproar, but that will likely die down once he takes his DNA test.
Pittbull vs. Lindsay Lohan originally sued Pitbull in August over the line "I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan" from his hit "Give Me Everything," claiming it did her "irrepareable harm." Pitbull tried to mend fences, even inviting Lohan to be his date to the MTV Video Music Awards. However, with Lohan's suit proceeding, Rolling Stone reported last week that Pitbull has decided to counterseu. His defense? Well, she has been in jail.
Corwel Platinum Entertainment vs. Adam Lambert: Yes, on its face, it's just another contract dispute over who owns the songs from a songwriter who suddenly became famous. The juicy part, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is that Mr. Glambert may have been under contract when he auditioned for "American Idol," making him ineligible to compete. Would that mean Danny Gokey would get the runner-up title? Hmmm.

Timberlake more successful overseas than in America
The singer-turned-actor is hardly Johnny Depp, but his last
LOS ANGELES — Is Justin Timberlake the latest Hollywood star to hold surprising clout overseas?
The singer-turned-actor hardly Johnny Depp, but his laf few films have done better abroad than domestically. "In Time," his sci-fi action flick released in the U.S. three weeks ago, has already collected $53.7 million abroad compared with its $30.7 million stateside tally. The Andrew Niccol-directed movie is playing in 53 foreign countries and has performed best in Russia, where it has grossed $13.2 million. The film, which also stars Amanda Seyfried, has yet to open in a number of major international markets, including France and
Japan.

EDITORIAL
In light of the student riot at Pennsylvania State University on Nov. 9, The Kansan Editorial Board sent this letter to the editor to The Daily Collegian — the Penn State student newspaper.
Penn State rioters' actions not justifiable
Dear Editor,
More than any other facet, the student body represents the ideals of any post-secondary institution. The cohesive might of students with a common directive has the opportunity to positively change long-standing traditions or to keep them. The reaction to the Kent State protests in 1970 and the Tianamen Square massacre altered the moral and ethical makeup
of the United States and China, respectively.
But the Joe Paterno protest last Wednesday at Pennsylvania State University was an intolerable tear in the ethical fabric of the common university student. That day, a large group of students showed the entire nation that they would riot for a coach who failed in his moral obligation to report a serious crime, worsening the university's already fragile perception. They showed they would destroy property worth an estimated $50,000 in a rage to prove a point. What point?
Earlier that same day across
the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of London students took to the streets to protest the tripling of tuition and fees. While recent London protests have been violent, London police told the Huffington Post that this protest was mostly peaceful. If Penn State increased in-state tuition from $16,000 to $48,000, it would merit a similar peaceful but forceful protest by students against an administrative decision by the university.
Joe Paterno's hiring was the wrong action to protest against. The participating students marred the image of not just Penn State, but of all students
across the nation. As we glanced upon the television screens in Kansas, members of the University Daily Kansan's editorial board were repulsed by the images of our peers chanting "We want Joe," and the infamous WTAJ van tipping. As students of fellow AAU member University of Kansas, we feel the need to address and denounce the actions of the protesting Penn State students.
Paterno was and will always be a legendary coach. But that in no way exempts him from his duties as a human being. For all the football players' and students' lives he affected, he failed
to stop child molestation, allowing irreversible harm to the most innocent of our society.
We applaud The Daily Collegian, for its prompt response to the protest.
One week later, we hope that those students who participated in the unconscionable protest realized their mistake, and that they apologize for their actions first to the families who were harmed by the scandal, and next to their peers whom they misrepresented.

Heroic fashion tips
By Lizzie Marx lmarx@kansan.com
You may not be able to bring peace to the world like Wonder Woman or develop rapid reflexes that rival Catwoman, but with this fierce fall trend, you will be able to gain a sense of confidence even Superwoman would envy.
No longer only worn by these heroines, the cape has come to help you escape the everyday boredom of the fall coat.
This superhero-inspired outerwear has become every fashion maven's secret weapon for updating her fall wardrobe. Because of its languid lines that allow for optimal movements, the cape is the perfect choice for the courageous leading lady.
Ranging from all different materials, such as wool or leather, designers used the cape during Fashion Week as a way to encourage their customers
to bring out their inner hero. Since they are so easy to throw over any outfit, saving the world one step at a time in a glamorous cape will be your only thing to worry about.
Designers have long turned to superheroes as inspiration for fashion, since the clothes essentially make the hero. Who would Clark Kent — Superman — be if he didn't have that famous "S" embroidered shirt to rip apart as he tried to save the world?
To bring out your inner hero, try the Forever 21 Classic Cape ($38). If you are willing to splurge, think about capturing the cable knit cape from Marc Jacobs. The classic camel hue will complement any skin tone, while the cashmere will keep you comfortably
warm. When these capes are paired with skinny jeans and flats, helping the world and fighting crime will seem effortless.

Diving into the recruiting process with Tyrel Reed
In today's excerpt from "Reed All About It: Driven to be a Jayhawk," Tyrel describes his recruiting experience as a high school star in Burlington.
Fortunately, I didn't have a cell phone until I was 17. I say fortunately because not having a cell phone meant college coaches couldn't call and text my cell phone all the time. My parents were really good about managing all of that, because the calls started coming in pretty much every day when I was in high school.
The conversations with coaches really aren't much. It's a lot of small talk. How's the family? How is school going? That kind of thing. They're really just trying to get a feel for you. That's one thing college coaches are really good at. They're salesmen. It's basically in the job description. They're just good with people. They're good recruiters and, I guess, good coaches, but mainly just good recruiters.
You probably can't be a head coach in college basketball without having some ability to make
people feel good or make them feel special.
Coach Self has that uncanny ability to command your attention and make you feel like you're the most important person in the room while he's talking to you. He may only talk to you for 30 seconds, but for those 30 seconds you feel like he knows you. Coach Self, once he meets you, will never forget you. He will remember your name for life. It seems like he knows everyone's name, regardless
if it's your mom, your dad, your girlfriend or your brother's friend. That's one of the things that makes him special.

had loved since I started watching basketball, you still have to take the coach into consideration. Believe it or not, whether the tradition is great or not, the coach in front of you is the one in charge
of your playing time, not the fans or anybody else. That's a big consideration. You're going to be spending 80 percent of your time with these people. I loved Coach
Williams when he was here and I loved him when he was at North Carolina recruiting me. When Coach Self took over, it was another great thing.
As a player, you still want to do your homework to some extent and get a feel for the coaches. When you go on your visits, you talk to the players and ask a bunch of questions. What would coach do if this happened? Do you like your coach? I think players are candid in those situations. I really do. At Kansas, we were always honest with recruits whenever they asked us a question. I think that's just the code of honor you take.

Oklahoma teams to decide Big 12 title
The Big 12's automatic BCS berth could easily come down to one game, even though there are still three weeks left in the league's first round-robin schedule.
As long as fifth-ranked Oklahoma (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) doesn't slip up before then, the regular-season finale between the Sooners and No. 2 Oklahoma State (10-0, 7-0) on Dec. 3 will determine who gets the league's automatic berth into the Bowl Championship Series — and possibly the national title game.
"My whole thoughts are solely on going to Baylor, but that's one of the steps in the process. So we just have to keep working through it," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Monday. "You get to this point and everybody wants to project the end, and you can't."
Oklahoma has won seven of the last 11 Big 12 titles, but the 10-team league no longer has a championship game.
The Sooners travel Saturday to No. 25 Baylor (6-3, 3-3), a team they have never lost to in 20 games. That's the night after Oklahoma State plays at Iowa State, the team Oklahoma then faces Thanksgiving weekend.
Stoops planned to remind his players what they have to do before any sort of BCS talk.
"It's our job to stay grounded and in the moment," Stoops said.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy team's is 10-0.

NBA lockout drags on
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
NEW YORK — Rather than surrender, the NBA Players Association opted for the poison pill.
The union's executive director, Billy Hunter, announced Monday afternoon that the players will not accept the NBA's proposal for a new collective bargaining agreement and instead a Notice of Disclaimer was served to the NBA office to effectively dissolve the union and turn the five-month lockout over to the court system.
"We've arrived at the conclusion that the collective bargain
week with an ultimatum that it must be accepted by last Wednesday. The league agreed to return to the negotiating table to discuss the deal and then presented this latest proposal last Thursday. Commissioner David Stern told the union that if the deal was not accepted, the owners' negotiating stance would reset to their original platform of a hard cap system, a revenue split of 53-47 in favor of the owners and a rollback on current contracts.
ing process has completely broken down," Huntersaid after the union held a meeting with its executive committee and
"The players feel that they are not prepared to accept any ultimatums and that it is extremely unfair on the part of the NBA
We've arrived at the conclusion that the collective bargaining process has completely broken down.
BILLY HUNTER Executive Director of the NBA Players Association
30 team player representatives plus several other players, including Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups of the Knicks at a Manhattan hotel to present the NBA's latest proposal.
The league offered the players a 50-50 split of league revenue with a soft salary cap system that included steeper restrictions on luxury tax paying teams than in the previous deal. This was a revised proposal of one made last
ownership to give an ultimatum that they had to accept their proposal or a rollback to 47 percent," Hunter said. "We have negotiated in good faith for two years and have done everything that anybody could expect, particularly when you look at the givebacks and concessions. The players just felt they have given enough."
Hunter said the players will now be represented by the union's outside counsel, Jeffrey Kessler, who spearheaded the NFLPA's antitrust battle with the NFL last spring, and another attorney, David Boies, who coincidentally represented the NFL.
Neither would say when action against the league would be filed, but Boies said that could come in the next few days. The NFLPA's decertification effort failed after an appeals court ruled that the NFL was in its rights to lock out the players. The sides eventually reached a settlement on a CBA in time to save the NFL season.
"This is the best decision for the players," union president Derek Fisher said. "I want to reiterate that point, that a lot of individual players have a lot of things personally at stake in terms of their careers and where they stand. And right now they feel it's important — we all feel it's important to all our players, not just the ones in this room, but our entire group — that we not only try to get a deal done for today but for the body of NBA players that will come into this league over the next decade and beyond."
Fisher, flanked at a news conference by dozens of players including Kobe Bryant and Anthony, said the decision was unanimous.
Stern said if the players accepted the deal, a 72-game season could have started on Dec. 15. Instead, there is great concern that the entire 2011-12 season will be lost.
"Obviously Mr. Kessler got his way," Stern said Monday afternoon on ESPN, "and we're about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA."

High school player signs with men's golf team
LAUREN DRUMMOND
ldrummond@kansan.com
The men's golf team has received a national letter of intent from Prem "Ben" Samritpricha, from Bangkok, Thailand, this week. He will join the team in 2012 for the 2012-2013 season. Samritpricha is the 82nd ranked recruit of the 2012 class, according to Golfweek.
Coach Kit Grove said he was excited about the addition of Samritpricha.
"Prem is a very consistent performer that also possesses the unique ability to go low, as demonstrated by his opening round 65 at the Bubba Conlee this summer," he said.
Sanitripricha had a successful prep career prior to committing to Kansas. He recorded six top-five finishes in 2010, including a victory in the 16-19 division of the HJGT Hunters Green Junior Shootout. After his junior year season, he was named to the IMG Leadbetter Second Team to the All-America accolades.
Samritpricha is very optimistic about coming to Kansas and is very excited.
"I believe that Kit Grove and Brian McCants will help me achieve my goals and get me to the next level," he said. However, golf is not the only reason Samritripho chose the University of Kansas. He also stated that KU's School of Business was another reason.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The regular season began Friday against Towson, but the showdown in New York City is what fans have waited for all offseason. Coach Bill Self will face off against Kentucky coach John Calipari for the first time since the 2008 championship game, when Calipari still coached Memphis. In that game, Calipari had Derrick Rose, now the NBA's most valuable player. Since sending Rose to the league, Calipari has willingly told kids to join him at Kentucky for one season, then sprint to the NBA if they wanted. Because of this philosophy, top recruits have flocked to Kentucky, and it shows in this season's starting lineup. This could be the most difficult matchup of the year for the Jayhawks, yet also could be the best chance at proving themselves as a contender.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Joshua Kline
JEFF WITHEY,
CENTER
Withey will get the opportunity to prove that he belongs against some of college basketball's very finest. If he succeeds, he will
do so by altering and blocking shots as a defender, cleaning up rebounds and scoring when Robinson is double teamed. He will fail if he lacks aggression and allows his opponents to out-muscle him for rebounds. Withey dropped a triple-double (18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks) against Pittsburg State in the team's first exhibition game on Nov. 1, but he was facing a much weaker and smaller opponent than Kentucky. Withey's finesse style complements Robiney's strength to form a front-court with diverse skills. To influence this game, Withey must avoid foul trouble and passive tendencies.
What does Kansas do defensively?
QUESTION MARK
Kentucky has three forwards — Terrence Jones, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Anthony Davis — who are comfortable on the perimeter. Athletically, Thomas Robinson can hang with any of them. After Robinson, though, it gets tricky. If Robinson guards the 6-foot-9 Jones to start the game, he runs the risk of drawing a quick foul away from the basket. Jeff Withey, who will start at center, isn't capable of guarding the quick Jones, so Self might not have a choice. Some sort of zone may work for the Jayhawks, but Self has rarely played zone while at Kansas. If he sticks to man-to-man, he'll have to figure out a way for Withey, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young to keep the Wildcat forwards contained on the perimeter when they decide step outside.
"It'd be a great home-and-home every year to play Kentucky."

Following the theme of the Towson game, Taylor played well but was hampered with foul trouble. Taylor needs to take less risks and stay focused on guarding his man. By playing without mistakes on defense, the points and assists will come. If Taylor wants to prove himself as a leader and upper echelon point guard, tonight is the night.
M. JOHNSON
★★★★☆
ELIJAH JOHNSON. GUARD
Johnson only sunk two of his seven three-point shot attempts in his first game back from suspension against Towson, but most of his misses were right on target, then plopped out. With an improved long-range shot, Johnson will be able to adapt to the more traditional shooting guard role that he must fill this season. His length and speed could match up well against sophomore Doron Lamb, perhaps Kentucky's best scorer.
Breaking down the teams
TRAVIS RELEFORD, FORWARD
★★★☆☆
Releford had his best game of the young season against Towson on Friday, scoring 14 points in 25 minutes played. Self said he needs more rebounding from Releford, who will likely be assigned to guard both Jones and Kidd-Gilchrist. Releford and Self have both said that this team will go as far as the defense takes it. If Releford can lead a stout defensive effort and slow down Kentucky, he could do the same against any team in the nation.
★★★☆☆
THOMAS ROBINSON, FORWARD
It's as simple as this; if Robinson draws a few early fouls, the Jayhawks will likely lose. If he plays composed and intelligent defense, this game could be a toss up. Robinson has the skills to be the best player on the floor tonight, especially if he can knock down the midrange jump shot. However Robinson was built to bruise inside. He will be most successful if he doesn't foul and sticks to what he does best: finishing by the basket. Robinson outplayed Anthony Davis over the summer. Tonight, whether he matches up against Davis or Jones, he will have to do the same. If not, it will be a long ride back to Lawrence.
★★★★
It wouldn't be fair to evaluate a player based on a single game, but tonight will tell us a ton about Withey. Can he block shots from 6-foot-10 centers or just 6-foot-4 forwards? Does he have that killer instinct to get a tough bucket by the hoop when his team him the most? Under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, Withey will start to tell us if he can really handle the starting center job. He must also avoid foul-trouble, because there just isn't much behind him on the bench. If he can stay in the game and comfortably guard Davis when he steps out to the perimeter, Withey will back up all the offseason praise of his teammates and coaches.

Robinson stays out of foul trouble and proves himself as the best player on the court. For Kansas to have a shot, he must help his team outrebound Kentucky; a feat it couldn't accomplish against Towson on Friday.
Jones could easily be in the NBA right now and he is the biggest matchup problem for Kentucky opponents. He's 6-foot-9 but can handle the ball like a guard and can play on the perim- eter on any possession. He has

KENTUCKY TIPOFF
UK
AT A GLANCE
Coming off a pair of blowout wins to start the season, No. 2 Kentucky and No. 13 Kansas meet up in Madison Square Garden tonight in one of the young season's best matchups. Kentucky handled Marist in the second half Friday night, eventually winning 108-58 in Rupp Arena. Kansas had the same type of success against Towson on Friday and both fan bases should have a better idea of where their teams stand early in the year after Tuesday's contest. Self called the Wildcats "scary athletic." Sophomore forward Terrence Jones was projected by many experts as a top-15 pick in June's NBA draft before returning to Kentucky. Jones is teamed with future NBA talent at nearly every position, and some people have called this the best collection of talent John Calipari has had as a coach.
Prediction Kansas 77, Kentucky 86
PLAYER TO WATCH
BASSE
Terrence Jones, guard:
A former McDonald's High School
All-American and two-time Oregon Class 5 player of the year, Jones averaged 15.7 points per game
Jones
last season as a freshman. He joined former center Sam Bowie as only the second player in Kentucky history to have a 20 point, 12 rebound freshman debut for the Wildcats. Jones was a near lock to be selected in the early-to-mid first round of June's NBA draft and surprised many fans by returning for his sophomore season. At 6-foot-9, Jones looks more comfortable playing on the perimeter as opposed to down low, creating quite the matchup problem for opponents. He had 11 points and 15 rebounds in Kentucky's Final Four loss to Connecticut and scored a Kentucky freshman record 35 points against Auburn last season.
Who will Kentucky lean on the most?
QUESTION MARK
Calipari's unit has talent all over the floor and could exploit several kinds of weaknesses the Jayhawks never knew about. How will it be done, or at least attempted? Calipari could opt to go for a more balanced scoring attack, spreading the ball to Lamb, Jones and Davis among others, to keep Kansas guessing. Calipari could also keep feeding the hot hand or take advantage of a mismatch, perhaps targeting Withey. Having so many scorers gives Kentucky the option of a different approach every time it takes the floor. Kansas must adapt to whatever the game plan seems to be and prevent it. That could mean teaming Davis, playing a box-and-one zone on Jones or simply playing man-to-man, as Self usually does.

NBA lockout trumped by NFL action
MORNING BREW
When the NFL was in the middle of its lockout this summer, fans across the nation were freaking out, worried about Sundays without foot- on the docket.
The NFL lockout ended without missing any games.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
The NBA is involved in a lockout of its own, yet the uproar exhibited by the fans has not been nearly the same. This is as the NBA is coming off the most hyped final series in recent memory, when the league's biggest star, LeBron James, tried to prove he could handle the pressure.
Why is the outrage that existed this summer not there for the NBA? There is an obvious answer: The NFL is just more popular than the NBA.
The NFL has a system where parity rules, and a team from a town with a population barely north of 100,000 can win the championship. The NBA, however, is dominated by the big market teams picking
on the little guys, signing the best players to big contracts and forcing the small market clubs to relocate to another market to try and compete.
The other thing working against the NBA lockout is timing. When the NFL lockout hit its peak in late June and July, the only other sports news fans had to focus on was the baseball season.
In the Internet age of rumors and instant information, fans don't have attention spans long enough to focus on just one sport. Sure, for one weekend golf or tennis is thrust into the spotlight because of a major tournament, but those sports fade to the back of people's minds just as quickly as they came to the forefront.
People aren't noticing that the NBA is cancelling games. The fans have so much else to focus on right now. Football is halfway through the season, and the playoff races are starting to heat up.
Even the cities out of contention are engulfed in a competition for the right to select the next "sure-thing quarterback" in Andrew Luck.
College football is involved in one of the most unusual seasons I've ever witnessed. People are talking about the possibility of two teams from the same conference meeting in the BCS championship game.
KU
When will fans start to cry out for the
NBA the same way they did for the NFL? If the sides don't come together quickly, they'll have to wait until the NFL playoffs come, when fans are being eliminated weekly and looking for something to fill their need for sports.

Kansas gets first true test
By Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Tonight starts the Jayhawks' difficult three-week stretch. Kansas will play Kentucky, Georgetown and Ohio State for sure, with a possibility of playing UCLA, Duke, Memphis, Tennessee and Michigan.
All eight of these teams made the NCAA Tournament last year and Georgetown, UCLA, Duke, Memphis, Tennessee and Michigan are in the Maui Invitational, which began on Monday. Five of the potential opponents are ranked in the Associated Press Top 25, and UCLA is receiving votes after dropping out from No. 17.
Kansas may be the underdog, but it doesn't mean it can't come out victorious. Kansas needs to take care of the ball like it did against Towson, knock down the open threes and play physical, but not foul. If it can't do those things, Kentucky will have 16 more all-time victories than Kansas.
These next three weeks will have a NCAA Tournament feel because of how good each of these teams are historically. The level of play won't be as good as March, but it will be a good test for a young and inexperienced Kansas team.
There is a reason Kentucky is ranked No. 2 in the nation. Whether you like coach John Calipari or not, the man can recruit. He consistently has some of the top recruiting classes in the country. All five of the Wildcat starters will most likely be in the NBA at some point and Calipari has a knack for developing premier point guards: Derek Rose, John Wall, Brandon Knight and Tyreke Evans are a few that come to mind. The key for Kansas will be for Jeff Withey and, more importantly, Thomas Robinson to stay out of foul trouble, especially early in the game. Robinson is the focal point of the offense and a staple on defense. If Robinson leaves the game with two fouls, Kansas' bench isn't as built as Robinson and Kentucky will ball the inside.
Self's club bested Calipari's the previous time the two met, but that was in 2008. There is a mutual level of respect between the two, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that if Calipari has an opportunity to put the pedal down, he will do it.
Tonight will be a good indicator to see where Kansas is in the early season. It will show the Jayhawks' strengths and it will definitely show their weaknesses. The Jayhawks will have less than a week to correct the problems for Maui, but will then have two weeks to prepare for Ohio State and Jared Sullinger — another tough test for Robinson.

KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Nearly 24 hours of televised basketball is night-capped with the inaugural Champions Classic tonight in Madison Square Garden in New York.
The three-year series between Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State pits each team against the others in Atlanta next year and Chicago in 2013.
Kansas kicks off this year's Champions Classic against Kentucky tonight before heading to Hawaii for the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
"Prior to Maui," coach Bill Self said, "I "don't think we've had a group get together like this in recent memory that would generate more interest than what this will."
Kansas and Kentucky, the two winningest programs of all time, highlight the event and, like most seasons, there will be no shortage of talent on the court.
"They've got men," Self said. "It will be interesting to see how our young guys react to that."
The game will be played in Madison Square Garden, one of the country's most famous sporting venues, adding another plot twist to the heavyweight matchup. Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor, a native of nearby Hoboken, N.J., said the Garden is a great place to play and allows his family a chance to watch him play in person.
On the court, Kentucky is loaded at nearly every position. Led by sophomore Terrence Jones, the Wildcats start four underclassmen, including two freshman. They're young, but comparing starting fives shows Kentucky returns more minutes from last year than Kansas.
Jones and fellow sophomore Doron Lamb both played more minutes than any jayhawk last season, so the advantage in experience Kansas might initially seem to have isn't quite true. Still, Kentucky coach John Calipari is figuring out how his team will guard junior forward Thomas Robinson.
"It's going to be a hard matchup for us," Calipari told kathatrics.com. "With Terrence Jones, how much do we really want to put him on Robinson? He's probably too physical for a bunch of our guys."
It wouldn't be a first-class showdown if only one coach was losing sleep over match problems. Calipari seems torn on the Jones-Robinson match, and with Jones' ability to play on the perimeter, Self might have similar doubts about Robinson and his own defense.
"How we need to play," Self said, "is to make sure we don't put him in as many positions to foul 40 feet from the basket."
Some defensive strategies, such as trapping ball screens, won't happen as often this year, according to Self. He said it's too much of a risk for Robinson to pick up what he called "ticky tack" fouls.
Robinson picked up two quick fouls in Friday's opener against Towson and was forced to sit seven minutes in the first half, which eventually led to Towson outbounding the jayhawks 35-32. Robinson said his early fouls can't — and won't — happen in upcoming games. He was asked about the game, and more specifically, about his potential matchup with Jones. He sat there and shrugged his shoulders.
Pressed for more, he said, "Just another game."

No regrets about two-point decision

KANSAS
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Turner Gill said he has spoken to one other coach, outside of his staff at Kansas, about his controversial decision to go for a two-point conversion at the end of Saturday's game against Baylor. The coach, who Gill did not name, gave Gill a simple message: "It took some guts to make that call."
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson slams a Baylor ball carrier to the ground during the first quarter of Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium. The Kansas defense held Baylor to just three points for the first three quarters. However, the Jayhawks gave up 21 points in the fourth quarter and lost 31-30 in overtime.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
And Gill does not regret the gutsy decision that ended the game as a 31-30 loss for Kansas.
After exchanging scores with Baylor in the game's first overtime period, Gill decided to go for two instead of kicking a field goal that would have sent the game into a second overtime. The decision backfired, as sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb threw a pass that was knocked to the ground by a Baylor defender.
Gill said he went with his instinct at the time and that he made the decision to go for two as soon as the opportunity presented itself. He said he thought the team had momentum on its side after scoring on its first play in overtime.
"My initial reaction was that they were hot," Gill said. "I thought that was going to give us the best chance to win our game."
EXTRA POSSESIONS While saying that his team
has made great strides recently. Gill mentioned his defense's play recently as the team's biggest area of improvement. Particularly in the turnover department, where the Kansas defense has come up big in getting the ball back to its offense.
Against Baylor, the Jayhawks forced three fumbles and had one interception in the game's first three quarters. During that time, Kansas held a 24-3 lead over the Bears and kept the nation's second best offense to just 190 yards.
In the fourth quarter, in which Kansas didn't come up with a turnover, the Bears gained 290 yards and scored 21 points.
Gill has referred to the defense as a positive aspect of Kansas' past three games. In that time, the Jayhawks have forced nine turnovers. In the Jayhawks first seven games, the defense only forced five turnovers.
"We've talked about it all year long," Gill said. "It's just great how you continue to emphasize it and work on it and then see it come into fruition here."
ROAD WOES
1

Dining prepares feast for tonight
BRITTANY CLAMPITT editor@kansan.com
If feeding a family for Thanksgiving is no easy feat, then feeding more than 2,000 hungry college students is a colossal undertaking. But every year, KU Dining Services pulls out all the stops by hosting Thanksgiving dinner in each of the three campus dining centers before students head home for break.
Everything about the dinner is on a large scale — from the number of guests to amount of food. Tonight, KU Dining Services will use 42 tom turkeys totaling 1,020 pounds in addition to 360 pounds of roast turkey breast and 540 pounds of ham, along with side dishes and desserts.
First-year students who are not aware that tonight is different from a normal evening in the dining hall are in for a surprise.
The amount of food has to feed the large number of people anticipated to partake in the copious meal. Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Dining Services, said the Thanksgiving meal is popular among not only current residents but also people who used to live in the residence halls and have friends or siblings with meal plans. International students, as well, take interest in the American tradition.
Freshmen Hannah Glatter from Kearney, Neb., and Adam Chase from Shawnee said they were not aware of the special dinner, but they now want to round-up their friends for a big, family-style Thanksgiving.
According to data collected by Kidwell, 2,282 student meals — about 74 percent of all meal plans — along with nine paid guests and 69 guest passes were served at Thanksgiving dinner in 2010 for a total of 2,360 meals. The total number of diners has been decreasing since 2008 and this year, even fewer are expected to attend because the Corbin Hall dining area is closed for renovations. Those women who live in Corbin will not be neglected. Barbara Wilson, manager of the Corbin Dining Center, is planning a smaller and more intimate Thanksgiving gathering in the Corbin lobby with food catered in from Mrs. E's.
"A couple of them were asking if we could turn on the fireplace, make it really homey," Wilson said.
Kidwell said KU Dining Services has hosted Thanksgiving dinner in

all her 29 years with the University. The event requires extensive planning, with discussions beginning in the spring of each calendar year. Thanksgiving dinner is classified by KU Dining Services as a Level 3 event: one that takes an extensive menu and a large amount of food and decorations. KU Dining Services workers are already preparing for the droves of people that are expected to attend.
The meal will feature traditional Thanksgiving foods and begin at 4:30 p.m. at Mrs. E's and Oliver dinsings and at 5 p.m. at Corbin. The dining halls will be closed from 2 p.m. until the beginning of dinner meal set up.
"That's probably the biggest thing that we do, is we have to forecast. But we've gotten pretty efficient," Kidwell said.

SAFEBUS HOP ON Riders give SafeBus highest numbers since program began in 2007
RACHEL SALYER
editor@kansan.com
Tyler Powers, a sophomore from Augusta, put on his drum major costume and headed out for the night.
It was Halloween weekend, and that Saturday, Oct. 29, he and his friends hopped on an unusually packed SafeBus and headed to Tennessee street.
Powers and his friends were only a few of the 2,562 rides given by Safety Bus that might a 117 percent increase
from Halloween weekend in 2010 and SafeBus' highest numbers since the program started in 2007.
Despite enrollment being down this year, SafeBus has seen its numbers increase as a whole, with ridership increasing by 55 percent from last year. With SafeBus adding Thursdays to the schedule, it has seen an 81 percent ridership increase in comparison with August through October 2010.
SafeBus and SafeRide are funded through a student fee of $12.10 per student every semester and Student Senate oversees the program.
"It was definitely packed to capacity," Powers said. "You saw a lot of different characters, all types of people were on it."
Casey Briner, student senate transportation coordinator, assists in overseeing the use of the money and wants students to use the service.
"It is roughly $605,000 a year to fund the program," Briner said. "We hope it is money well spent, and that students think so too."
Briner was surprised by the Halloween weekend numbers, but hopes the number increase reflects student's enjoyment for the program.
"We saw the numbers and were taken aback," Briner said. "We are so
SafeBus and SafeRide, like all KU on Wheels programs, are run through MV Transportation, but Student Senate is responsible for the promotion of the program. Briner attributes the number increases to more student outreach than they have done in the past.
"We are tabling more than ever," Briner said. "We went to every orientation, we go to info fairs and we partnered with the Jayhawk Buddy System. We are trying to get to as many students as possible."
Powers, a transfer student from Wichita State, said he learned about and used the program while visiting

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
The charismatic and combative leftist who paralyzed the streets of Mexico City after narrowly losing the country's last presidential election will make another run next year after winning an opinion poll released by his party on Tuesday.
A hugely popular candidate in 2006, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador now is seen as a long shot to stop Mexico's old Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, from regaining the presidency in 2012.
Enrique Pena Nieto, the telegenic leading candidate for the PRI, is far ahead of his potential rivals, topping Lopez Obrador by 23 points in an October poll. But Lopez Obrador has a core of passionate supporters who say he was cheated of victory in 2006 and who often refer to him as Mexico's legitimate president.
The Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD, is the first of Mexico's three major parties to select a candidate for the campaign, which legally can't begin until February. Lopez Obrador's main rival for the nomination, Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, said he would support the results of the poll, which asked 6,000 voters of all parties which man they preferred.
Lopez Obrador, 58, said his first task would be to unify the country's array of left-leaning parties, something that should be easy since two of the main small parties have been openly promoting his candidacy with radio and television advertisements for more than a year.
PARIS
Six Somali men went on trial in a Paris court Tuesday accused of hijacking a sailboat in 2008, and holding the husband-and-wife crew hostage in the hope of a multimillion dollar ransom.
The trial is the first in France to judge alleged pirates, who have made a lucrative business of capturing foreign vessels around the Gulf of Aden and elsewhere.
French navy commandos raided the vessel two weeks later, killing one man and capturing six of the estimated 20 others on board.
The men — aged between 20 and 36 years old, who describe themselves as fisherman, electricians, students or jobless — have been brought to France for trial.
Jean-Yves and Bernadette Delane — now aged 63, and living in French Polynesia — were en route to France from Australia when their 16-meter (52.5-foot) sailboat, Carre d'As, was boarded Sept. 2, 2008.
Six other men will go on trial May 2012 charged in connection with the April 2008 sea hijacking of the 288-foot (88-meter) luxury sailyacht, Le Ponant, and holding its 30-member crew hostage. Six others escaped in that operation.
The couple were not present for the trial, expected to last until the end of the month.
Of the six men, three are charged with hijacking the vessel and all six charged with taking the couple hostage — "stopping, kidnapping and sequestering" — as part of an organized gang with the prospect of receiving a ransom. They risk life in prison if convicted.
BEIRUT
Army defectors ambushed dozens of Syrian troops and regime forces gunned down civilians during one of the bloodiest days of the country's 8-month-old uprising, which appeared Tuesday to be spiraling out of President Bashar Assad's control.
Up to 90 people were killed in a grusome wave of violence Monday, activists said. The extent of the bloodshed only came to light Tuesday, in part because corpses lying in the streets did not reach the morgue until daylight
As the bloodshed spiked, Assad's former allies were turning on him in rapid succession — a sign of profound impatience with a leader who has failed to stem months of unrest.
Turkey, Jordan and the 22-member Arab League all signaled they were fed up with Assad's response and were ready to pressure him to go.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday he no longer has confidence in the government led by Assad, a 46-year-old eye doctor who inherited power from his father 11 years ago.
"No regime can survive by killing or jailing," said Erdogan, who cultivated close ties with Assad before the uprising began in March. "No one can build a future over the blood of the oppressed."
Erdogan warned Assad that his brutal crackdown on opponents threatens to place him on a list of leaders who "feed on blood."
TEHRAN. Iran
Banners proclaiming Iran's "obvious right" to nuclear technology are draped over building facades. State media describe the head of the U.N. atomic watchdog agency as an American puppet and dismiss claims about nuclear weapons advances as made-in-USA falsehoods.
At Tehran University, a group of students started a petition urging Iran to withdraw from an international treaty regulating nuclear development.
There's no doubt Iran carefully stage manages much of its backlash to Western pressures over its nuclear efforts. But not all.
Iran's defiance remains one of the few patches of common ground in a nation with multiple divisions; Hard-liners against opposition groups; power struggles between the ruling clerics and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, infighting among various parliament factions.
"Iranians don't agree on much these days, but you could say the nuclear issue is one where they more or less speak in a common voice," said William O. Beeman, a University of Minnesota professor who follows Iranian affairs.
He said that gave some breathing room to Iran's ruling system.
"That's a big advantage," he said. "They can concentrate on the fight with the U.S. and others and — with this case at least — don't have to deal with internal tensions."
The next step comes later this week when the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency board meets in Vienna and could refer the report to the U.N. Security Council.

friends at the residence halls last year. He has found the service to be very different than the campus transit system.
"When youre riding the bus around school, it's crammed, and you just want to get off of it." Powers said. "But these buses have a great atmosphere with everyone packed in and chanting."
This year was the first Halloween weekend Diefendorf had been driving and he expected more students than usual and tried to prepare for it.
Powers and his friends took two different buses that night and he noticed that the drivers on both buses were a part of what made the experience fun.
"The bus drivers were cooperative and had fun with us," Powers said. "They weren't too serious about the whole ordeal, and if they would have been, it would have made things a lot different."
One of the drivers Powers and his friends had that night was Ben Diefendorf, a 26-year-old University student.
"I drank a lot of energy drinks," Diefendorf said. "I tried to be happy."
and energetic. I yelled a lot, telling them where the stops are and tried encourag a fun, good time"
Despite his enthusiastic behavior, one problem he was expecting was vomiting.
"Usually I can tell who the pucker is going to be." Dieffordd said. "I always give them the trash can. We also have barf bags like on airplanes."
SafeBus experienced other problems that weekend because of the increased traffic. The buses have a 63 student capacity, and filled up more quickly than expected.
"There were waits," Diefendorf said. "Yellow bus would get full, so they wouldn't be able to pick up people at all, and people didn't understand."
"We have more than one bus that goes to some of the same places," Diefendorf said. "So it can save you time waiting."
Diefendorf pointed out that some of these issues could have been avoided if students read and understood bus schedules.
Briner acknowledges that transporting hundreds or thousands of intoxicated students every weekend comes with its challenges, but said they have experienced few problems this year.
"Other than some people trying to use SafeRide to party hop we haven't really had many problems," Briner said. "Which always makes any program run more smoothly.
The SafeRide and SafeBus committee is currently planning routes for next year, and with the number increases, Briner thinks there is a possibility that the services offered will increase.
"If we are able to free up some resources there is a possibility for expansion." Briner said. "But we don't know for sure yet."
If the program did expand. Powers, who lives on Bob Billings parkway, would use the service more frequently.
"I don't go downtown that much," Powers said. "The main reason is because the bus doesn't go where I live."
Regardless of whether the routes expand, Powers thinks his money is well-spent on the service.
"Everyone will be doing stuff that maybe they shouldn't be doing," Powers said. "But the program helps them get places and be safe, and I don't mind paying for that."

FOOTBALL
Tickets on sale for game against Missouri in KC
Even though Missouri has officially declared that it is leaving the Big 12, Kansas still has one more game scheduled against the Tigers during Thanksgiving weekend at Arrowhead Stadium. Tickets went on sale Monday and fans are getting ready for what could be the final Border Showdown.
Missouri signed a contract with the Southeastern Conference earlier this month and it's still unclear whether Kansas will schedule to play Missouri in the non-conference schedule.
The rivalry is one of the ugliest in the NCAA and the football team is gearing up for it.
"Against Mizzou you want to hit a little harder, you want to play a little harder just because they are our border rival," said Ryan Burton, a junior running back from Colorado Spring. Colo. "This game means so much to everyone on the team."
However, the lack of wins for the football team in the conference isn't stopping fans from getting excited for the game.
"I did the color guard and it was
amazing seeing the division in it, like one side being red the other side being gold," said Vicky Hendren, a sophomore from Shawnee: "Unfortunately, I will not be able to go, but I will try to watch it on TV."
Fans can't buy tickets online, so they'll have to go to Allen Fieldhouse to purchase them.
In an email, associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said ticket sales are slow right now, but he said he hopes they'll pick up closer to game day.

'Share the Warmth' takes coats for Salvation Army
While yesterday's weather may not have suggested it, the cold months are upon us and soon it will be time for students to dig into their closets for warm winter clothes.
Scotch Dry Cleaning Services is helping students clean out their closets by holding its annual "Share the Warmth"
coat drive. The drive has been going on since early October and finishes on Nov. 23.
Scotch manager Laurie Clark said this year's drive is ahead of schedule, but she expects more donations in the upcoming week.
"It as it starts winding down, people are like, 'Oh my gosh, I've got to get that in,' and so we start seeing a lot more toward the end of the drive in," Clark
said. "The last few days are usually very hectic with lots of donations."
Coats aren't the only clothes being donated. Hats, gloves, scarves and even blankets are all piling up at Scotch. Donated items will be washed and sent to the Lawrence Salvation Army, where they'll be distributed to those without winter essentials.

Regents to discuss room and board fees
CAMPUS
LISAAC GWIN
igwin@kansan.com
University students may once again face higher costs for on-campus housing and food services next year.
Members of the Kansas Board of Regents will convene on Wednesday and Thursday to discuss a housing and dining fee increase proposed by the Department of Student Housing.
Rates have increased over the past several years, but Director of Student Housing Diana Robertson said this is the first major suggested hike in the rate of on-campus living for the University in three years.
"We have worked really hard to try to keep the cost of living the same for our students since 2008," Robertson said. "But the way the economy has been, all of the market prices have gone up. We're experiencing a six percent increase in utilities, four percent increase in food and a three percent increase in labor."
According to a document used by Housing, "History of Room and Meal Plan Rates," the charge for a traditional two-person residence hall room for 2008-09 was $3,386. In 2011-12, the charge was $3,700. For a renovated four-person suite, the charge in 2008-09 was $4,484, and in 2011-12 was $4,994.
Students are currently paying about $7,080 per year for a regular double-occupancy room and board, according to the University Department of Student Housing. If the Kansas Board of Regents passes the budget plan at its next scheduled meeting in December, students would pay $7,258 — an increase of 2.5 percent beginning in the fall semester of 2012.
The University's increase is not the largest proposed for student housing in the state this year. The Kansas Board of Regents report shows Kansas State University with a plan that would increase its cost from $7,198 to $7,450, a 3.5 percent increase, while Pittsburg State University would increase its costs from $6,288 to $6,538,a 4 percent increase.

"I think it's expensive enough," said Zach O'Bea, a junior from Leavenworth living in Hashinger Hall. "To live in the same 12-by-12 room with another guy, sharing a bathroom with a whole floor, and now even free printing is gone. I think everything is just too overpriced as is."
Housing costs at Kansas universi
ties are below average for the Midwest. The average cost of room and board for four-year, public universities in the region is $8,194, according to the College Board's report, Trends in College Pricing, 2011. That figure includes universities in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

The crowd was unrestricted and the police were on alert.
Police block Occupy Wall Street protesters from entering Zuccotti Park in New York on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011. After an early police raid removing protesters, hundreds returned to Zuccotti Park carrying photocopies of a court order they say gives them the right to return to the park. The National Lawyers Guild obtained a court order allowing the protesters to return with their tents to the park, where they have camped for two months. The guild said the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on the protesters.

"One of the nice things about being done with this character is that I finally get to stop wearing white make-up, annoying contacts and sometimes a wig," said Jackson Rathbone, who wore a wig in 2009's "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and 2010's "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." "Have you ever tried wearing a wig? It's fun for now. Now imagine wearing that same wig for seven months straight. It gets a little annoying."

Twilight stars glad to be done with wigs
The bad news for the cast of "Twilight" is that filming of the series has wrapped, and the actors likely will never reprise their most famous roles to date. The good news? They no longer have to wear those ridiculous wigs again.
While the actors on hand for the "Twilight" 'cast and concert tour last week at Chicago's House of Blues couldn't agree on whose wig looked the silhouet (I vote for Taylor Lautner's long locks in 2008's "Twilight" — his 'do would make Nicolas Cage cringe), nearly all of them agreed that the wigs were uncomfortable to wear.

Ashley Greene wore four different wigs — one for each installment — beginning with her Dido-like chopped hair in the original "Twilight." She didn't seem to mind them, but she also had input on her short-hair wig in the upcoming "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" films.
"This last (wig) was a collaboration with (director) Bill Condon," Greene said. "Luckily he had the same vision I had for Alice (Cullen). This was a good way to end."

Roommate responsible
The rocmates called police about the head Sunday, and investigators quickly ruled out one obvious potential source: the beloved buffalo mascot named Ralphie at the University of Colorado.
Police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said Monday that the head came from a buffalo recently slaughtered from a ranch in Nebraska. The head's owner told police he was drying out his souvenir so he could display it on a wall.
Kobel says the case is now closed.

Dear sun, if you're going to be out, at least make it hotter!

I know you're pregnant and all but you don't show that much at only three months. That's some non-baby wobble you've got going on there.
If I woke up with a penis, the first thing I'd do is make someone kick me so I would really know how bad it hurts, or if guys just over-exaggerate it.

Quality toilet paper worth additional cash
Toilet paper is an issue that is close to every Kansas student. We don't take the time to concern ourselves with matters of the "loo;" it makes us uneasy. However, as reported in a Kansas front-page story on Nov. 9, campus toilet paper is rubbing people the wrong way. The notion that we should stick with the current toilet paper is one that should be circling the drain. It's time that the University looks into better quality toilet paper.
How many times have we gone into a campus bathroom to take of our business and have been faced with gritty paper
that looks like it was made for industrial usage? We get what we pay for. The current tissue cost estimates show that each student flushes away about three rolls at a cost of $2.06 per year. That's a lower cost than Kansas State, which invests $3 of toilet paper, per student; however, each Kansas State student gets 3.55 rolls per year. Pittsburg State students on the other hand tear off 1.8 rolls at a cost of $3.24 per student.
The University's poor toilet rolls are nuisances we can improve. The last thing students should have to worry about is
If each full-time student pays a $1 student fee strictly going toward better toilet paper on campus, it will raise more than $23,000. This is enough to buy acceptable toilet paper for the whole campus.
clogging up a toilet with ineffective paper.
Students will receive a wholesome benefit with this small student fee. We will have a toilet paper that matches home quality. We will not have to use as much, which is an environmentally sustainable initiative, and most importantly, the new paper will make students feel a
lot better. The University should look to bulk up on two-ply or at the very least, a combination of one- and two-ply paper.
Students who support spending $1 extra per semester for a dramatic increase in toilet paper quality should contact Student Senate leaders to make sure this happens. Email Student Body President Libby Johnson at sbp@ku.edu and Vice President Gabe Bliss at gblissku.edu.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Student fees help all even if all don't use
This letter is in reference to the column "Campus fees unnecessary, unwanted by some students."
First, the column doesn't seem to be informed on the issues it is supposed to be writing about, particularly the section on campus fees. How does the author propose we select what campus fees should and shouldn't be open for choice? For instance, the fee to fund SafeRide/SafeBus is only $12.10 a semester. To get a taxi one-way in Lawrence is going to cost you $10 no matter which taxi service you contact. So all you have to do is use or need SafeRide/SafeBus twice a semester to have already saved yourself $8. Or take the bus fee, which is only $47.20 a semester.
Does the author know that with this fee, the busses on campus are not only free to students, but so are the Lawrence Transit busses as well! For a nonstudent it costs $34 for a monthly pass to ride the Lawrence Transit busses. This means students pay about $94 a year for the opportunity to ride all bus services year-round, when
it costs the normal Lawrence resident over $400 to do the same.
My personal favorite is the complaint about the SUA fee, which is a whopping $6 a semester. SUA puts on over a hundred activities for students at free or incredibly low cost per year. Again, spreading the cost over all students allows all students the opportunity of saving themselves tons of money compared to if it was on an optional choice basis. So again, I don't see where you can possibly draw a line that defines what fees should be offered by choice and which ones shouldn't be.
All of the fees benefit students' experiences at KU. It isn't the University's fault that you don't take advantage of the possibilities. The columnn's arguments are no different than if I was to complain about paying for police and fire department services just because I don't need them "now."

Film glorifies Civil War Confederacy
Despite the fact that the Civil War ended almost 150 years ago, it is still being fought in movie theaters and TVs across the nation—and this time, the U.S. is losing. Though the Union won the war, the Confederates won the story.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
After the war ended in 1865, both sides went off to lick their wounds and the American public immediately began reshaping the war into a useable narrative.
Normally, this would mean presenting the victors as saviors of godlike grace and goodness, but something strange happened with the Civil War. Former Confederates, distraught at the righteous whooping they received from the North, began constructing what's known as the Lost Cause of the Confederacy.
At a Hudson Union Society event, documentarian and Civil War expert Ken Burns said "history is written usually by the victors, and it's the first time
Tired of being portrayed as slavery-loving traitors, they presented themselves as noble rebels whose only fault was loving their home and who only lost because of the U.S.'s superior numbers and "dirty foreign politics and cowardly blockades," as the Confederate song "An Old Unreconstructed" puts it.
where history was written by the losers"
The first major Civil War film was D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," released in 1915. The film portrayed the war as a tragic misunderstanding between the states, not a conflict started over the institution of slavery. Even worse, the film portrays freed slaves as ignorant at best, murderous rapists at worst and celebrates the rise of the KKK.
"Gone with the Wind", probably the most famous movie about the war, was released in 1939 and helped solidify the Lost Cause mythology by romanticizing the South and its Confederate inhabitants. Thanks to Lost Cause of the Confederacy, almost every film dealing with the Civil War has Confederate protagonists, from Buster Keaton's "The General" in 1926, to Shirley Temple's "The Littlest Rebel" in 1935, to Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales" in 1976, to "Cold Mountain" in 2003. In fact, the only two Civil War movies of any
This trend of Confederate protagonists continues even today with AMC's new show "Hell on Wheels," which premiered Nov. 6. The show follows a former Confederate soldier searching for the Union soldiers who raped and killed his wife. As if that isn't one-sided enough, the pilot opens with a Union soldier tearfully confessing that he participated in General Sherman's March to the Sea and utters the celebrated general's name with the same tone you might say "Satan" or "Jerry Sandusky."
"Hell on Wheels" falls over itself making the Confederate protagonist looks good. He reveals that he was a slave-owner, but that he freed his slaves a year before the war began for no reason other than the goodness of his heart. On the other hand, a former Union soldier played by Ted Levine only stops spewing racial
As residents of Kansas, a state born amidst blood and fire as abolitionists like John Brown fought to create a free state, I urge you to look deeper when the Civil War is presented on TV and in film and reject the Lost Cause of the Confederacy, even when it has cowboys on an awesome revenge quest.
Certainly there are other reasons for the numerous films and TV shows featuring Confederate protagonists outside of the Lost Cause mythology. We love romanticizing rebels, even when they actively fought against us. However, regardless of the reason, it is always frustrating to see the Confederate cause championed at the expense of the Union.

He picked up two quick fouls but was still able to grab 12 rebounds before fouling out with 3:00 left in the game, collecting his second double-double in as many games.

Freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe didn't see much court time behind Taylor and Johnson, but he was equally ineffective in his nine minutes, missing all four of his field goals attempts while
committing two turnovers.
Outside of Robinson and Taylor, five Jayhawks played more than 20 minutes against Kentucky. They averaged just 6.2 points, and Kansas tallied just 65 points total. It was a steep dropoff from last year's team, which averaged 81.2 points per contest. That team had future NBA draft picks in Marcus and Markieff Morris as well as Josh Selby. Also gone are Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed, who knocked down opened shots consistently. That is a lot of offensive firepower that is no longer on the floor for the Jayhawks, and finding suitable replacements looks to be the key to the Kansas season.
Robinson and Taylor should be able to score consistently. No one else, however, has really shown that ability through two exhibition games and two regular season contests. They'll have their chances, though. But, outside of Baylor, this Kansas team fortunately won't see a group of athletes like it faced in New York Tuesday night.

Krzyzewski passes Knight with win No.903
ESPN

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Duke coach Mike Krzyezewski, left, gets a smile after a hug from Bob Knight, after Duke defeated Michigan State 74-69 in an NCAA college basketball game Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011, in New York. Krzyezewski earned his 903rd win, passing Knight for the most Division I victories.
NEW YORK — Cheek to cheek, Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight hugged, a player and his coach celebrating a big win — one it's safe to say might never happen again in college basketball.
The Blue Devils gave Krzewzski his 903rd win, breaking the tie with Knight, Krzewzki's college coach at Army and his mentor throughout his professional career.
The man known simply as "Coach K" became Division 1's winningest coach when No. 6 Duke beat Michigan State 74-69 on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic.
With Knight sitting across the court at the ESPN broadcast table, and with several former players in the stands — many able to attend because of the ongoing NBA lockout — Krzyzewski moved to the top of the list in front of a sellout crowd of 19.979 at Madison Square Garden.
Krzyzewski went right across the court to hug Knight when the game ended. Krzyzewski, tears in his eyes, broke away, and Knight pulled him back, hands on his shoulders, then there was one final slap of the shoulder.
"I just told Coach I love him," Krzyezwski said. "I wouldn't be in this position without him. It's a moment shared. I know he's very proud, and I'm very proud to have been somebody who's worked under him and studied him and tried to be like him.
"I'm not sure how many people tell him they love him but I love him for what he's done for me and I thanked him. He said 'Boy, you've done pretty good for a kid who couldn't shoot.' I think that means he loves me too. At least that's how I'm taking that."
Junior guard Andre Dawkins had 26 points for Duke (3-0), which took control with a 20-1 run that gave the Blue Devils a 61-14 lead with 9:17 to play. Then it was just a matter of counting down the minutes — except for a late run by Michigan State that made it a five-point game in the final minute — until the celebration could get under way.
It wasn't the Cameron Crazies cheering their coach on after a few nights waiting and sleeping in Krzzyzewskiville. But a pro-Duke crowd started to get loud as the Blue Devils took control in the second half, as well as the fans from Michigan State, Kentucky and
Kansas and a bunch of regular old New Yorkers including filmmaker and New York Knicks fan Spike Lee.
"The basketball gods are good ... they put two guys who've done a lot in the game together, special moments, and tonight is another one of those special moments," Krzypeywski said of Knight's presence at the historic game.
The former players in attendance read like a Who's Who of great college basketball players in the last three decades.
And they were all there for one reason.
Like many others, Battier doesn't think Krzyzewski will be done adding to the win total for several years.
"I can't say I'm surprised because I saw firsthand the level of preparation, the level of passion he put into his program every single day," said Shane Battier, who won a title with Krzyzewski. "I know if you gave him enough opportunity hed give Bobby Knight a run for his money. It's just amazing to be here on this night to see the culmination of this work."
"He's ageless. He looks great. He looks the same as when I was a freshman." Battier said. "There's a
reason to think he won't be around for many years to come."
Dawkins, who had six 3-pointers, and Ryan Kelly hit 3s to start Duke's big run. As Michigan State (0-2) kept missing shots down low, Seth Curry hit another 3 for Duke and then the Blue Devils closed the run by making 6 of 6 attempts at the free throw line.
The Spartans kept Krzyzewski coaching to the final minute. They finally started hitting shots and forcing turnovers to close to 74-69 with 12.9 seconds left.
Curry had 20 points while Kelly
added 14 for the Blue Devils, who were 10 of 21 from 3-point range.
Krzyzewski used the New York Yankees to explain how hard it is to keep a program on top of because of players changing every four years, or even earlier with the NBA draft looming overhead.
"It's a special moment," Krzyzewski said of his family and former players being there. "At halftime I wasn't sure we were going to have this moment. We beat a really good team, and I'm glad now we can just move on and just develop our team."
15 straight years and you have to do it in intense competition in a great school," he said. "We never have problems because usually we can develop a team. They want to be one, and I don't have to fight that which is great."
"We don't have Jeter or Rivera for
Keith Appling had 22 points for Michigan State, and Brandon Wood added 15. The Spartans finished with 21 turnovers.
"I was in a no-win situation," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.

"I'm really thankful that we had this challenge early in the season so we can work on some things," said Young, who also had 12 rebounds. "Rankings really don't mean anything in basketball as much as they do in football. So it really helps our team to understand what we need to work on and help us move forward."

Jayhawks have little time to rest between seasons

A year's work boils down to 21 games between August and early November for the Kansas soccer team.
"Now that the season is over, we need to just look at the positive aspects of it," said sophomore defender Madi Hillis. "From this year to last year, we've made so many steps."
As the season ended last Sunday with a loss to Georgia, there's a sense of disappointment, but also an excitement for the future.
The jayhawks made major strides from 2010 as the team progressed by five victories over last season's mark and made the program's first NCAA appearance since 2008.
Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said that he saw massive improvements from all of the players. Some of the key contributors to the team included Hillis who moved from the midfield to defender this year.
Junior midfielder Whitney Berry also helped point the team in the right direction. After being a quiet leader for her first two seasons, Berry stepped into a vocal role this year.
"We all just came together and decided that enough was enough and it was time to get down to work." Berry said.
The Jayhawks had an impressive start to the year as they won five of their first six games. However, once conference season rolled around, their record leveled out. Kansas finished the regular season with a 3-5 conference mark.
One aspect of the game that the Jayhawks hope to work on this offseason is defensive
consistency. Kansas finished last in the Big 12 with 46 goals allowed over its 21 games, Francis said that both the midfielders and defenders will work on their one-on-one defending in the winter months. Even with the challenges
defensively, the Jayhawks put together a potent offensive attack.
Freshman forward Ingrid Vidal was the best of the bunch as she earned All-Big 12 First Team honors. The assertive manner of the offense was one of the reasons
why the offense clicked so well this season. With 20 of 23 players returning, there are high hopes for another NCAA bid next fall.
"The way my team competed this year and the way we worked so hard for everything we accomplished is probably the biggest highlight of the year", Berry said.
Kansas will now take the rest of this week off before doing some fitness testing before Thanksgiving break.
the team will focus on strength and conditioning with assistant strength coach Patricia Dietz instead of soccer workouts.

Second-half run fuels Bavlor to 10-point victory
WACO, Texas — Q-squared proved to be quite a winning formula for 11th-ranked Baylor. That's Quincy old and Quincy new.
Senior Quincy Acy and freshman Quincy Miller sparked a second-half run that finally put the Bears in control in a 77-67 victory over San Diego State on Tuesday.
Miller's inside basket broke a tie and started an 18-5 run that put Baylor (3-0) ahead to stay. It was Acy's reverse, one-handed slam dunk around San Diego State's tallest player in the middle of that spurt that really changed the momentum while Baylor also turned up the defensive pressure.
"Quincy Acy's dunk got everybody fired up, and then we were hot," guard Bray Hestip said. "We were drunk, and they just seemed like in shock by it."
Miller, a 6-foot-9 forward, had 20 points and has led the Bears in scoring in all three games this season. He had seven points in that 5-minute spurt early in the second half, while Acy scored nine of his 13 points during that stretch.
"Acy is the backbone of this team in my opinion. He's a four-year veteran. He only cares about winning. Miller is terrifically talented." San Diego state coach Steve Fisher said, "They've got a nice blend of youth and age and experience and that's why they'a a good team."

Two from Class of 2012 sign their Letter of Intent
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Zach Peters and Landen Lucas have signed national Letters of Intent to play basketball at Kansas next season, KU Athletics announced Tuesday.
Peters, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward from Prestonwood Academy in Plano, Texas, averaged 15.3 points and 9 rebounds as a junior last season. He is a three-star recruit according to Rivals.com and had scholarship offers from Texas, North Carolina and Kentucky, among others.
"Zach's big. He's a legit 6-9, 240-pound high school senior that can really shoot the basketball," coach Bill Self said in a statement Monday. "He's big and rugged. We can play him to where he's big enough to defend the five or skilled enough to play in at the four."
Lucas is considered the top
prospect in the state of Oregon heading into his senior season. The 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward returned home to Portland, Ore., after spending his junior season at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., last season. Rivals.com gave Lucas three stars, and he chose Kansas over Tennessee, Washington and Arizona, among others.
"We've seen him play a lot and he came to camp this past summer," Self said in a statement. "We're fortunate he fell in love with this place when he came out here in the summer and we were able to convince him on his official visit this past weekend."
Both players will join fellow Kansas commit Perry Ellis, who signed a Letter of Intent last Wednesday.

On Wednesday night, the Kansas volleyball team has a chance to avenge what was perhaps its most frustrating loss of the season against the same team a month ago.
With only three games remaining in the regular season, the Jayhawks (14-12, 2-11) hope to win back-to-back conference games as they take on the Sooners (19-9, 6-6) at 6 p.m. in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The teams last met on Oct. 15 in Norman, Okla., when the Jayhawks came within two points of sweeping the ranked Sooners. However, Oklahoma ranled and took the game in five sets. The outcome of that game is still a sore subject for many Kansas players.
"It was pretty painful," said freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton. "Whenever you go to a five-set game, and if it doesn't turn out the way you want it, you always have that taste of bitterness on your tongue."
Coach Ray Bechard said the memory of the loss has upped the intensity of practice this week but there are other fires his team has lighted under itself at the moment.
"More importantly at this time of the year, we're just needing wins," Bechard said. "Obviously we had a very tough loss to them last time, but as lot has changed since then. It's been a while."
The Sooners have been a bit of an enigma this season. Ranked nationally for most of the year, Oklahoma is the only team in the conference to hang a loss on firstplace Texas. But more recently, the Sooners have lost four straight games, including a four set loss to Baylor at home on Saturday.
"It it just goes to show that in our league it's hard to play at a high level over an extended period of
time," Bechard said. "You're going to take your bumps and bruises and they're no different than anybody else."
Bechard's squad positioned itself out of the bottom of the Big 12 on Saturday with a road win against Texas Tech. But while
the win is a confidence booster, freshman outside hitter Chelsea Albers said it has not made the team complacent.
"We just forgot for a while what it took to push and win a game," Albers said. "With that win under our belts, it's going to help us to
make that push at the end of the game."
Both McClinton and Albers have come on strong late in the season. McClinton had a career-high 15 kills in the last home game against Texas. On Saturday against Texas Tech, senior outside
hitter Allison Mayfield had a career game of her own, recording 22 kills in the win. Both Albers and McClinton said learning under Mayfield this season has been a great experience.

Kansas prepares for Creighton
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Freshman guard Natalie Knight hit her first shot as a Jayhawk in a heroic fashion. After shooting 5 for 6 from the free throw line, she knocked down a three pointer with 1:40 left to take a two-possession lead in the first game of the season. Her points contributed to the 11-4 run by the Jayhawks that sealed their victory.
Knight, an Olathe native, played significant minutes in exhibition, but didn't score. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson had been surprised by the lack of production from the former Kansas Women's Gatorade Player of the Year, but was relieved to see Knight score her first points.
"I think she kept her composure late," Goodrich said. "I saw her in the corner and I knew she was looking for the ball. She had her hands up, was ready for it and she knocked it down."
Goodrich was credited with the assist on Knight's bucket, and finished the game with a team high seven assists.
"When it got tight, Natalie picked a great time to make her first shot at Kansas," Henrickson said.
After the hard-fought 76-64 victory against Western Michigan, Kansas prepares to host Creighton at 8 p.m. The Jayhawks have won the last nine contests between the two schools, including an overtime win in the second round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament in 2010.
One of the biggest threats the Creighton Bluejays bring into the game is their consistently powerful perimeter scoring.
"Creeighton is a shooting team so we need to be able to contain and not let them shoot a three," Goodrich said.
The Kansas post faced an unfamiliar challenge as it played without scoring-leader Carolyn Davis, who sat on the bench while she battled a stress fracture in her right foot.
GET INVOLVED
"I thought in big moment, Tania gave us some important finishes and found some rhythm at the free throw line" Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks will focus on their transition game, which was slowed down without the familiarity and dependability of Davis in the front court. The Jayhawks committed 20 turnovers and scored just 12 fast break points.
Her highlighted an 8 for 11 performance at the free throw line as Kansas converted 28 out of 37 from the charity stripe.
Edited by Jason Bennett
"It feels good," Jackson said. "Any way that I can help my team out is a good feeling to have, I didn't try to be Carolyn or do what she does at the five. I just tried to play my game and contribute in any way that I could."

Marlins' makeover can revive baseball
MORNING BREW
Florida is known for its beaches, warm temperatures and great nightlife, but baseball has yet to gain the popularity they were once expecting when the Marlins and Rays came to the Sunshine State.
Last Friday, the then-Florida Marlins took a giant step forward in rebuilding the image of baseball in Florida when they unveiled their new uniforms, logo and name as the Miami Marlins. The event took place in the New Marlins Ballpark, which is scheduled to open at the start of the 2012 season. The uniforms will feature the team's new colors as well as their new logo of the letter "M" with a marlin above it. The new team colors were introduced to capture the essence of Miami.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
"We are the red-orange of the breathtaking Miami sunsets and the citrus industry," said team owner Jeffrey Loria. "The blue of the sky and the sea. And the yellow of the beautiful Miami sunshine."
The new image for the team could mean a very bright future for the organization. The Marlins, who have suffered from low fan attendance in years past, will be moving out of Sun Life Stadium, which they previously shared with the NFL's Miami Dolphins, to a brand new ballpark in the heart of Miami. The new ballpark will feature a state-of-the-art retractable roof that will eliminate rainouts as well as having to sit through a three-hour ballgame in the hot, sticky Florida weather. The new stadium is also situated near downtown Miami, where crowds are expected to climb higher than 30,000 for
every game next season, which would be a drastic improvement from years past
The changes are even getting attention from some of baseball's top free agents in this year's offseason. First baseman Albert Pujols, shortstop Jose Reyes and pitcher Mark Buehrle are among three of the top free agents that the Marlins have met with thus far. Since then, they have extended offers to each of the high profile athletes. It comes to no one's surprise that the Marlins are able and willing to spend larger amounts of money to pull in some of the biggest names in baseball. Last year's roster had a payroll around $50 million, but by getting out of Sun Life Stadium and getting a field of their own, they will be working with a payroll upwards of $80 million. It also helps to have hired an aggressive, fiery manager in Ozzie Guillen, who appears to be working with the Marlins' general manager.
The Marlins' organization is very excited about all of the changes that have taken place thus far, and they have good
KU
reason to be. By the time opening day rolls around, I have a feeling the lineup card will look a lot different than last year's. With a new look and a beautiful new stadium for the Marlins, baseball will be rejuvenated in Florida. It will be exciting to see which players the organization is able to reel in this offseason to bolster the roster and make them contenders in a tough National League East division.

COMMENTARY
'Classic' lives up to name
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
Those who say college basketball regular season game are irrelevant need a reality check and, quite frankly, a slap across the face.
The early season tournaments serve to galvanize college basketball fanatics by showcasing non-conference matchups that fans have only dreamed of until now.
college basketball programs the inaugural extravaganza starred Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State, four powerhouse basketball programs that illuminate college basketball's affluent history.
The State Farm Champions Classic last night exemplified what college basketball is all about.
It's essentially a Final Four in November, minus the trophy, brackets and a "One Shining Moment" video, although one moment that did shine bright was Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski earning his 903rd career victory, making him the winningest coach in Division 1 college basketball history. Watching Krzyzewski hug and talk to legendary coach Bobby Knight after the game was a special scene.
The venue that held the Champions Classic, Madison Square Garden, is arguably the most recognized and revered arena in the world. Every player dreams of playing in the arena because players love to play in the Big Apple. New York City possesses the glamour that is incomparable to any city in the world.
And as if Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State weren't already exceptional at recruiting, the Champions Classic only enhances it. Premier high school players are enticed by the programs' commitment to excellence. The passionate fans, the outstanding coaches and the programs' ability to showcase themselves nationally leave recruits drooling.
The invitational prepares the teams for their arduous conference schedule by matching them up with other elite basketball programs early in their seasons. Participating in this event helps coaches evaluate their teams by finding the strengths and weaknesses early so they can fix them before conference play.
But without a doubt, the fans were arguably the biggest winners of the Champions Classic. Watching and listening to the thousands of fanatical fans inside Madison Sqare Garden was a sight to behold. Hearing Kansas fans shout "Let's go Jayhawks," Kentucky fans cry "Go big blue," Duke fans scream "Let's go Duke" and Michigan State fans chant "Green and white" showed how big of a role basketball is in their lives. Emotions ran feverishly high, especially during the Kansas-Kentucky game, where it seemed like the Garden's roof might implode. The fans engaged in an intense, competitive game of bragging throughout the night, trying to prove whose team is better.
Players play for these games and coaches coach for these games. The best of the best vie for college basketball immortality, supremacy and bragging rights. It doesn't matter that this new show is in November for one night. The pilot proved to be money in the bank.

NEW YORK — Season to season, the Kentucky Wildcats ooze flambeoyancy and supremacy. Whether they win it all or not, any team coached by John Calipari consistently frightens opponents and amazes ooglers.
On Tuesday night, Calipari's high flyers matched the glitz of the shining hardwood at Madison Square Garden and trumped No. 11 Kansas 75-65. At first, thetheatrics didn't resemble a fairy-tale. Shots were swatted, not celebrated. Crossovers led to tumbles, not easy baskets. Both Jayhawks and Wildcats hacked arms freely.
In his team's final possession of the first half, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor dribbed the seconds away, deked toward the hoop, then fell flat to that shining hardwood. By halftime, the score was tied at 28, but from there, all of Kansas' momentum died and never returned. At the start of the second half, the Wildcats blocked, sprinted and dunked their way to an 8-0 run.
The Jayhawks either turned the ball over or watched their shots skip to the sideline following a block. Taylor drove to the hoop, but repeatedly met the same fate in freshman forward Anthony Davis, who deflected nearly everything he could reach. Senior guard Conner Teahan, the team's best shooter so far in the young season, went cold from deep. Junior forward Thomas Robinson fouled too often and missed layups that he

Coach Bill Self was far removed from the glory of his 2008 National Championship victory over Calipari, who then coached Memphis.

It just never worked. As a slowly increasing deficit tip-toe into the reality of a loss, Self could do nothing but stare at the dominance of some of the players he once failed to recruit.

McDougald improves along with Kansas defense
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Early in the season, safeties coach Robert Wimberly sat junior safety Bradley McDougald down in his office. Wimberly showed McDougald game film where he did not make a play that he should have made. McDougald, currently the team's second-leading tackler, said the meeting was the turning point of his season.
The coach gave McDougault a list of what he needed to work on. Every game since he has tried to work on one aspect of that list to slowly become a better player.
"I felt like I was playing better than I was," McDougald said. "He showed me some clips and film doesn't lie. Once he showed me those clips, I had to swallow my pride, go back to the drawing board, correct some things and improve my play."
McDougald has recorded double-digit tackles in his last three games, and the entire Kansas defense has followed suit. In the first seven games of Kansas' season, the defense was more of a punch line than a puncher — allowing more than 50 points per game. In the team's last three games, where
And his performance has done just that.
Struggling in his first two games at free safety, the former receiver turned defensive back switched positions to safety. In his first year starting on the defensive side of the ball, the game was moving too fast for McDougald. After five games, McDougald had 27 tackles and the defense was reeling.
While the schedule was brutal for Kansas during its first four Big 12 games, senior linebacker and the Big 12's leader in tackles Steven Johnson said that something other than a slightly easier schedule has been behind the defenses improved play.
"The defense goes how Bradley goes," Johnson said. "If Bradley plays well, then the whole defense plays well."
McDougald has excelled, the Jayhawks have given up an average of 29 points per game.
To help slow the game down, McDougald found himself spending more time in the team's film room. His effort in practice also increased, as McDougald said he has had a great working mindset. He almost doubled his tackles in the team's last five games, with 49.
ut
65
And the job isn't done for McDougald. While Kansas cannot make a bowl game this season with its 2-8 record, Steven Johnson said that McDougald is going to have to lead the defense next year as well.
"You never know when it's all going to click for each individual guy," Gill said. "Sometimes it takes two games, sometimes it takes a year, sometimes it takes two years. This has finally happened here for Bradley."
McDougald said that creating turnovers is something that can swing the whole momentum of a game. It's something that coach Turner Gill has been pleading for all season, and Gill said it's finally happened because they simplified the defense, helping his team play faster.
"Things aren't going to magically happen on Saturday's," McDougald said. "You've got to make those same plays in practice and
let it translate to the game."
The 6-1 safety from Dublin, Ohio, has been a catalyst in more than one way for the Jayhawks' defense. He has contributed to two of the nine turnovers Kansas has forced in its last three games. Against Baylor, he forced a fumble and against Iowa State he came up with an interception. Both games were the best the Kansas defense has played this season.

KELSEY CIPOLLA kcipolla@kansan.com
A few black curtains and a row of uncomfortable looking chairs on a stage have never been so funny. But then again, making the normal seem hilarious is a talent of Second City, a Chicago-based improvisation and sketch comedy troupe that performed in Woodruff Auditorium Wednesday. The group used few props and produced plenty of laughs last night.
The troupe has produced many of today's biggest comedy stars, including Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrell, as well as iconic comedians like Chris Farley, Dan Akroyd and Mike Myers.
"They've had a lot of great people come out of them," said Bea Kilat, Student Union Activities cultural arts coordinator and a senior from Salina. "It's just a fun show, especially this one because it's centered on college."
In the college-focused "The
FAPSA and the Furious" show, the cast of five poked fun at liberal arts colleges, student government and uncomfortably premature affection. The mixture of sketches and improvised skits allowed for plenty of KU references.
"You ever said something you wish you could take back?" said Barry Hite, a performer, while introducing an improv skit where cast members had the chance to take back their earlier statements to change the direction of the skit. "Like," VCU, no problem!
Second City captured the real moments of college, like parting from a long-time roommate or embarking on an Adderall-fueled study session. But some of the sketches were less realistic. In the Second City world, professors drink Four Loko, pass a joint and taunt freshmen. Sorority sisters bounce between sweetly singing in harmony and breaking

Clarifying city zoning code for single-family dwellings
ISACC GWIN editor@kansan.com
The Lawrence City Commission's decision to increase enforcement of a pre-existing housing code in early October resulted in questions concerning student dwellings in some parts of the city.
Violating the code, which has been on the books since 2002, could now incur hefty fines and the possibility of probation for landlords who are found to be in violation. The code limits the number of unrelated residents to three in houses zoned for single-families. The number of unrelated residents allowed goes up to four in multi-dwelling zoned districts, according to the ordinance.
Some of the concern caused by the code stems from confusion about what a single-family zoning area is and where they are located within the city. Lawrence code enforcement manager Brian Jimenez said that any neighborhood that is made up of houses designed for the use of a single family is likely a single-family
zoning area. He used the example of the region south of 19th Street in between Massachusetts Street and Ousdahl Road.
Jimenez said it may be harder to tell what the zoning is in older neighborhoods because there can sometimes be mixed zoning. Prospective tenants should ask landlords what the occupancy limits are for a property before signing a lease.
"If, for some reason, tenants find out they are in violation after signing a lease or are occupying the rental unit," I would suggest they make their landlord aware of the violation and make arrangements to become compliant with the code." Jimenez said.
Several students find the code to be unnecessary, considering
the size of some of the houses being rented out to them.
"I think it kind of stinks," said Collin Baffa, a senior from Olathe who is living in a house with his friends. "I mean, when you have four distinct rooms to a house and you can only use three of them, well that's one more person that could help pay for rent, and rent always seems to be going up."
Landlords who are found to be in breach of the code are charged with the offense even if the renter
Baffa said he understood the idea of limiting the number of occupants for safety but said he thinks the code is a little much.

More family time during break may take away college freedom
ALEXA RUSH
arush@kansan.com
Making the adjustment from life at home to the one in college can be quite the challenge, but when freshmen students return home for Thanksgiving break, the transition back may prove to be just as difficult.
"I'm dreading having less independence and freedom compared to being on my own," said Victoria Porter, a freshman from Garden City. Porter said staying with her family for a week is initially weird because of the lengthy time spent away.
"However, by the end of the week I know it will feel normal because it's home," she said.
This idea of losing newly found freedom when returning home isn't appealing for most freshman. Old curfews may be reinforced.
According to St. Louis University, parents and students should lay out expectations of what events and family functions the student should be expected to attend.

Not all freshmen are dreading this time at home, though. Stephen Hicks, a freshman from Spring, Texas, is looking forward to spending time with his family, considering he hasn't seen them since they dropped him off at the University in August.
“五 days may seem like a long time with a small lack of the 'freedom' that you have in college, but take advantage of the lack of school work to take a deep breath and catch up with your family and on sleep,” Hecke said.
going out every night may not be an option and instead of being able to hang out with friends, family time may consume the holiday. Some colleges and universities have resources for helping students and parents with being reunited during school breaks.
"Check your assumptions at the gate. Mom shouldn't assume Jennifer is going to want to spend all of Thanksgiving Day with the family when her friends also are home. Likewise, Jennifer shouldn't assume she can punt on her family's Thanksgiving dinner because she would rather be with her friends," St. Louis University said on its website.
"Getting a home-cooked meal for the first time in three months is definitely a plus." Hicks said. "And I'm looking forward to seeing my

Puerto Rico is having its deadliest year on record as authorities struggle to control a rampant drug war on the U.S. Caribbean territory.
Police said Wednesday that three people died overnight in separate incidents, raising the year's homicide toll to 995 on the island of 4 million people. That matches a 1994 record with six weeks left to go in the year.
Local authorities say 70 percent of the killings are drug related.

Panicked passers-by fled both scenes but police and rescue officials told The Associated Press the two explosions bore no signs of sabotage. Firefighters sprayed down the burning remains of the tankers with foam to keep the flames from spreading.

In a highly symbolic ceremony aboard a guided-missile destroyer Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton underscored America's military and diplomatic backing for the Philippines as it engages in an increasingly tense territorial dispute with China in the resource-rich South China Sea.

Event attendees asked to prove citizenship
The town hall-style meeting at Granite State Manufacturing, the first of two events Perry was holding in New Hampshire, was open to the public.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — People attending a Rick Perry presidential campaign event Wednesday were asked to prove they are American citizens.
But campaign officials said federal regulations required proof of citizenship because the company handles defense contracts. A Granite State employee sat beside a Perry campaign staffer at the door and asked attendees whether they were citizens.
The employee, who refused to give her name, said non-citizens wouldn't be admitted.
While Perry's rivals have faced similar restrictions when they held events on the premises of federal defense contractors, the issue Wednesday brought unwanted attention to Perry's complicated immigration record at a critical point in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination.

Perry, the governor of Texas, has faced sustained criticism over a Texas policy that allows in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants. He also has struggled to win over some conservatives for being against putting up a fence along the border with Mexico.
John Stephen, a prominent Perry supporter in New Hampshire and recent Republican gubernatorial candidate, defended Perry.
"This is a manufacturing business where the governor wanted to meet with workers," Stephen said. "There is no one that's done more through action to oppose illegal immigration than Rick Perry."

Comedy Central inks deal for South Park
LOS ANGELES — "South Park" is going to be around for a long time.
Comedy Central has reached a new deal with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the controversial animated series, that will extend the comedy for three more seasons, sending "South Park" into a milestone 20th season.
Parker and Stone, who are also key forces behind the smash Broadway hit "The Book of Mormon," will continue to write, direct and edit each episode, as they have since the show's 1997 premiere.
"Comedy Central has been our home for 15 years and we love working there. 'South Park' is a blast and we can't wait to make more," Parker, and Stone said in a statement.

MIAMI — Until now, it was easy to dismiss the "Twilight" film series which has grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide as a foster for adolescent girls. Lots and lots of girls.
Twilight series takes an adult turn in part 1
With the arrival of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" the story takes a decidedly adult turn. This one tackles marriage, sex, abortion and family demands, themes that can no longer be deemed kid stuff — and reflects the growing inclusion of adult content in TV shows and movies aimed primarily at teens.
The legions of fans who devoured Stephenie Meyer's novels, which have sold more than 100 million copies, knew what was coming. In "Breaking Dawn," the 18-year-old Bella (Kristen Stewart) marries the vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson), who looks 17 but was born in 1901 (he could be her great-grandfather!) They honeymoon on a remote island off the coast of Brazil, where Bella loses her virginity and discovers vampires like their sex extra rough. Then, along with the black and purple bruises dotting her body, Bella discovers she is pregnant — and the baby she's carrying, which is growing at a naturally fast rate, may be
an immortal human-vampire hybrid that will drain the life from her before it's born. Edward and his clan of vampires implore her to terminate the pregnancy, because it may kill her. But Bella refuses.
Strong stuff — strong enough, in fact, to earn the first cut of "Breaking Dawn — Part 1" an R rating. But Oscar-winning director Bill Condor ("Dreamgirls," "Kinsey," "Gods and Monsters"), who shot the two "Breaking Dawn" movies back to back, knew he was required to edit the film down to a PG-13.

Scandal suggests crime reporting review
The Pennsylvania State University scandal has forced institutions around the nation to examine their reporting practices and policies. For the University of Kansas, the issue is especially relevant considering we've had our own set of athletics scandals recently. The University has said that, under Kansas law, University employees are not legally bound to report suspicions of child abuse to authorities. This leaves the details of crime reporting protocols to high-level university officials.
Football coach Turner Gill's comments in his weekly press conference on Nov. 8 showed how similar the University is to Penn State when it comes to
crime reporting. In the interview, he responded to a question about how his players and staff should react if they witness crime internally. Gill said, "You have to go to protocol." Protocol for Kansas Athletics and the University administration relies on the chain of command. Under current standards, if a KU employee witnesses a crime, it should be reported to a direct superior. Gill explained that if crime were witnessed in his program, it should be reported to him. This sounds similar to Penn State football coach Joe Paterno's role and fulfills only a legal obligation.
The video of the Nov. 8 press conference is not available on the KU Athletics webpage, and
In an email to students, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little explained the moral obligation to report abuse of children.
the transcript on the same site does not include his response to the question.
"Beyond any legal responsibilities, we each have a moral obligation to look out for the safety of the other members of our community, especially when they are children," she said in the official statement. She also said that policies are being examined to define KU employees' responsibility. We hope that Gray-Little's statement is made policy rather than just being an unwritten rule.
adopt a clear policy outlining how employees can fulfill their moral obligation in reporting internal crime to authorities outside the institution while gaining certain immunities from institutional backlash. For student employees, these responsibilities can be conflicting. It's especially important to protect the rights of these employees who might be more disposable in cases like the KU ticket scandal. Although the ticket scandal largely avoided the inclusion of student employees, the Penn State scandal directly involved a graduate student turned assistant coach. The Chancellor is correct in saying it's everyone's moral responsibility to report crime.
The University needs to
but when pressure is placed on subordinates, the line becomes blurry. The line at Penn State was clearly crossed, but people still need to be protected when they make the right decision, or punished when they don't.
Students should pay close attention to how the administration handles this topic in the following weeks. While administrators seem to be taking a proactive approach to this issue, they should be held accountable if they jeopardize the prestige of this institution by not fixing the internal crime reporting process.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Writer expressed double standard
I am writing this in
I am writing this in response to the article entitled "Arguments against gays prove to be senseless." Once again, the UDK does not disappoint in producing another incredibly arrogant and narrow-minded article while its author claims to have the moral high ground of open-mindedness and acceptance. Self proclaimed liberals including the author are turning to their traditional method of political action and thought: childish attacks and name calling to belittle people that they simply have disagreements with. The tried and true method of liberals reveals its immature and ugly head whenever they feel threatened, as they certainly do now. The idea of the liberal's golden boy Obama being ousted from the White House is too much for them to bear, even though many democrats will admit that he needs to go. Now, in yet another attempt to discredit anybody who is conservative, the author claims that "either you hate gays or you don't." This is an extremely narrow-minded and ignorant point of view, and should not have even been published. It is an untrue statement designed
to divide and alienate people who disagree with the goals and beliefs of gay-rights groups. Just because conservatives may disagree with the gay-rights movement does not mean they hate gay people. By this logic you cannot disagree with anything without hating it. What's that? You don't support the war in Iraq? Well then you hate the military. This logic is unfair and naive, and is obviously an unfair way to divide groups of people. The author again shows his ignorance and bigotry when he claims that the entire American South is racist. These slanderous general statements have no place in a paper that wants to be professional. If a conservative columnist for the UDK (if that even existed) were to publish an article that made statements like this, there would be an uproar and the person would be run out of office and run out of town. How about you quit supporting an enormous double standard? That would be nice.

Is the baby Bieber's?
By Chance Carmichael
ccarmichael@kansan.com
Yesterday, 20-year-old Mariah Yeater dropped her lawsuit against Justin Bieber for fathering her child, but that doesn't mean the baby drama is over. Justin still plans to prove her wrong and take a paternity test. But could Biebs really be the daddy?
Justin Bieber fathered that child. To s opposite is as ludicrous as Ludicris's verse in the already-pretty-ludicrous song entitled "Baby." The fame and affection J.B. receives has done the supernaturally impossible. With the little help of some conveniently non-fatal radioactive hairgel it has created a gigantic super phantom determined to spread Bieber's infinite swag to the world. This monstrous ghoul wants to make sure it Amelia-Bedelas the shit out of the word swag — this is stuff we'll all get.
The Biebs has transcended his puny human body and is now an unstoppable phantom bent on making every girl its baby and a baby. Don't worry. It's all consensual. What girl ever says "never" to Biebsy Boy? This phantom is fueled by millions of sad people's tweets begging the Biebfactor 5,000 to follow them back or even just acknowledge their existence. J-Biebz cares a lot about his fans. So much so that he is bending the laws of time; physics and the morals of his father to please every fan.
By Ethan Lovell
elovell@kansan.com
Yes, it is something straight out of an episode of "The X-Files." No, I have not been watching too much of that particular show lately. I suggest we find the phantom's weakness before it figures out how to find people's real-life addresses from their Twitter handle. Because if that happens we will soon cease to be a race of humans. We will become a race of Biebans.
thin sister high-pi In all who I would child. He's sc inferth of in turn stir What that pub cor for to Big pro ac fa w l ce
Chance Carmichael is a junior in film and media studies from Muvane.
When most of us think about Justin Bieber, we think of a teen heartthrob with whom our little sisters are obsessed; just some skinny kid with a high-pitched voice and good hair.
In all honesty, Bieber is the last A-list celebrity who I would think to be capable of fathering a child. He's scrawny, baby-faced, and presumably
I'm not talking about the kind of infertility induced by some sort of testicular trauma. I just don't really think the kid's gone through puberty, I know most of you are saying, "He's 17; of course he's gone through puberty!" Well, he was only 16 years old when the child-in-question was conceived, and late bloomers happen sometimes. If you can listen to "Baby" and tell me you think his voice has even started changing, more power to you.
We also need to consider that this girl initially accused an ex-boyfriend of fathering the child before turning to Bieber. It's easy to see that she simply wants to cause a media stir to get some attention for herself. What she probably didn't realize is that Bieber can counter-sue her for public humiliation, and she'll be completely screwed. Unfortunately for her, she's probably come too far to drop the accusation.
The bottom line is that when Bieber takes a paternity test and proves not to be the father, his accuser will almost certainly be maudled by hundreds of rabid Bieber fans. As awful as this may be, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there's been a Justin Bieber look alike wandering around after his shows and deflowering his shallowly obsessed fans.

Business program ranked in top 294
The Princeton Review used student surveys to rank graduate business school programs
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
The Princeton Review ranked the Business School's Master of Business Administration program among the best 294 business schools across the country. The review surveyed Association of Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredited schools and compiled a qualitative review of each school. The review focuses on student surveys but also includes statistics like enrollment, average GPA and average starting
salary of graduates
Dee Steinle, administrative director of masters programs, said that because the review is qualitative and focuses
Mary O'Reilly
Steinle
on student surveys, schools are not assigned a ranking. She said she finds the reviews significant because they are written by students currently in the program.
"This year we came in strong with student endorsements," Steinle said, "stronger than they ever have been."
Steinle attributed the positive student responses to Dean Neeli Bendapudi, who took office earlier this year.
"The dean sets a tone of genuine enthusiasm for what we do," Steinle said.
Students in the MBA program were equally as satisfied with the new dean's work.
"The new dean is really ambitious," said Tim Rongish, a first year graduate student from Chanute. "I think the new program is in the right hands."
Second-year graduate student Tom Belot said that last year the change in the administration had made students a little concerned about the future of the program, but students seem happy with the new dean's approach. Because he
hasn't had a lot of experience with Bendapudi, Belot said he attributed the success of the program to other faculty members.
"Dee Steinle has done a fantastic job," he said. "She knows everyone and she's really dependable."
According to a news release, the Princeton Review described the MBA program as a "good value for the money that offered many options in terms of international experience," including recent student travel to countries like Brazil, France, Germany, China and India. Rongish said the study abroad program was a positive aspect of the MBA program.
Steinle said the school's interactions with students is probably another reason for the high endorsements. She said that because the masters program is geared toward students without business backgrounds, it focuses on individualizing the program for each student.
He said that if programs were scheduled on different days he would be able to attend more of them.
Pratik Patel, a first year graduate student from Topeka, said his only complaint was the scheduling of program functions, such as social events, extra lectures and guest speakers.
"Students know when you're genuine." Steinle said.
"I'm just opposed to coming to campus on my day off" Patel said.
Steinle said the review came at just the right time for recruiting students for the fall 2012 program, and the review is particularly useful to prospective MBA students.
"It's a great launching point for recruitment," Steinle said. "It's great to be able to talk about it with the class of fall 2012."
She said that if students are interested in the School of Business MBA program, it will be holding an informational event on Dec. 7.

Pepper spray victim's photo goes viral
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — An 84-year-old woman in Seattle has quickly become a face of the national Occupy Wall Street movement after she was hit with pepper spray during a march.
A Tuesday night photo of Dorli Rainey with the chemical irritant and liquid used to treat it dripping from her chin went viral soon afterward, becoming one of the most striking images from the protests that have taken place in cities across the globe.
A 70-year-old woman is being helped to stand up from the snow by a man.
"It's a gruesome picture. I'm really not that bad looking." Rainey said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press.

COMEDY FROM PAGE 1A
out into a rap. An adviser barricades students in his office to explain how awful life becomes after college. And an elderly woman hoping to continue her education gets the full college experience, complete with booze and undergraduate boys.
"We went to the Hawk and did body shots for just a dollar," said the old woman, played by Lyndsay Hailev. "It was Wednesday."
Every sketch might not have been true to the college experience, but the overall effect was just as hilarious to the audience members, including Jen Robinson, a freshman from Ellsworth, Iowa.
"It's comedy," Robinson said. "It's a great way to relax and get away from all the homework we have to do."
Robinson said the show was exciting not only because of the comedy but the potential to see the next big comedy star.
I'll just use the text from the image. The conversation seems to be between two men in a formal setting, possibly discussing business or politics.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1A
"If the landlord intentionally rented out for more people than they should, well, that's one kind of problem," said James Dunn, president of the Landlords of Lawrence Association and the owner of a number of rental properties throughout the city. "Another kind of problem is when there's over occupancy based on the tenant's decision."
violated his or her contract and brought in another individual without the landlord's knowledge.
Dunn believes that the underlying reason for the code and the city's desire to crack down on violators is the increasing number of properties being built in Lawrence that are not purchased by families. The owners of these vacant homes are then compelled to rent them out to tenants, the majority of whom are students.
"If they have a six-bedroom monster house in west Lawrence that they can't sell, well then they have to rent it to three unrelated students," Dunn said.
All the extra space for students lends itself to partying and inviting girlfriends and boyfriends to move-in, Dunn said. When students move into up-scale neighborhoods living a different lifestyle than their neighbors, the lower property values can lower.
Dunn said.
Kirk McClure, University professor of urban planning in the School of Architecture Design and Planning, has conducted urban development studies in Lawrence and has a similar view concerning housing growth within the city.
"The pace of growth of real estate in Lawrence in the past has been too fast," McClure wrote in an email. "Lawrence let real estate supply grow much, much faster than the growth in real estate demand."
McClure said the city had wrongly assumed that all real estate growth is good growth. Excess space leads to decline and deterioration of existing space, resulting in the loss of value of older neighborhoods.
The Lawrence page of City-Data.com shows that the city has reduced its new single-family housing construction permits per 10,000 residences after the explosion of growth it experienced in the late 1990s, but that it is still above the average for the rest of Kansas.
Jimenez said that there have been no housing code violations reported since the announcement of the increased code enforcement in October.

Tyler Dasher's body on Tuesday near a cemetery about a mile from his home.
St. Louis County prosecutor Bob
McCulloch said Dasher admitted to police that she repeatedly hit her son because he was crying and "wouldn't lay down, wouldn't go back to sleep." He said she also told police she disposed of her son's body.
"Raising children can be frustrating. There are a myriad of ways to handle that," McCulloch said. "This isn't one of them."
McCulloch revealed little else about the boy's death, except to say it appeared he hadn't been struck with objects or weapons. He declined to say when investigators believe the child died.
Police said when Dasher called to report her son missing, she told them she overslept that morning and discovered him gone from his crib when she awoke. His body was found within about 100 feet of a
busy road.
Dasher was being held on $500,000 cash bond. The state's electronic court system did not list an attorney for her Wednesday afternoon, and a county jail worker declined to convey a request to Dasher seeking comment.
Before the charges were announced, detectives and uniformed officers came and went Wednesday from the family's small frame home, which is in a working class neighborhood. Yellow police tape surrounded the home, and a large Halloween pumpkin was on the front porch.
A long, wide area near the cemetery also was cordoned off. A cluster of young adults nearby cried and hugged as they watched officers mill around the scene. It wasn't clear if they were relatives of
Tyler, and they declined interview requests.
"It says to me it's a pretty sick person," St. Louis County Police ChiefTim Fitch said. "Anybody that would take a child and leave a child in a wooded area in that condition needs to be dealt with severely by the criminal justice system."
Johnny Ellington, whose 24-year-old son, Joe Ellington, is Tyler's father, said he knew little about the investigation beyond what had been reported in the news. He said his family had been questioned by police and that the family advised Joe not to talk to the media.
Johnny Ellington, 65, said his son and Dasher were never married, and that his family saw Tyler frequently.
"He was just a wonderful baby and beautiful boy" he said.
Tim Adair was visiting his sister's home three houses down from the Dashers. He said Tyler's grandmother came over Tuesday, distraught, and told them the boy was missing. She said she had no idea where he could be.
Neighbors described the area where the Dashers live as quiet, the people close. But several neighbors said they knew little about Dasher or her son because the family had only moved into their rented home a little over a year ago.
"Everybody here kind of knows each other, but not them," said Rick Angeles, 28, who lives across the street with his wife and 3-year-old son. Angeles said a lot of young people were in and out of the Dasher home frequently but he never saw anything that concerned him.
This first dose of extended time back at home can be a difficult adjustment for freshmen. In reality, though, this is just a small taste of what Winter Break may be like.
family for a couple of days, catching up with friends from back home and seeing my dog, Gryphon."
Collin Edwards, a graduate student from Olathe, thinks that it's sad that students dwell on what they're missing out on when they're not at the University, rather than enjoy the short time they have with their family for the holiday.
"I think freshmen tend to have selfish thoughts about 'having' to spend time with their families, but it's important to realize that this time is valuable for your family," he said. "It took me four years to figure that out."

Kansas practiced eugenics only 50 years ago

Kansas was once a leader in the forced sterilization of the mentally disabled, and the University supported it from the beginning.
icummings@kansan.com
The last known case of the practice in Kansas occurred 50 years ago, according to a database created by Lutz Kaelber, associate professor of sociology at the University of Vermont.
At least 2,851 people were castrated or otherwise sterilized in Kansas hospitals between 1913 and 1961. Compulsory sterilization gradually fell out of favor and the Kansas legislature repealed the law authorizing it in 1965.
The Kansas State Asylum for the Education of Idiotic and Imbecile Youth opened in North College Hall on the University campus Sept. 1, 1881. Ten-year-old Belle Abott of Johnson County entered the asylum as its first student six days later.

FIGURE 28 The influence of heredity is demonstrated by the "good" and the "bad" Kallikaka.
"It was a coup to get one of these institutions in your town," Michael Wehmeyer, a professor in special
education, said.
The asylum was originally conceived as a boarding school with goals of education and rehabilitation. Over the years, the school's function turned to employing students in farm labor or simply institutionalizing them, according to a 1965 issue of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine.
The asylum's move to Winfield was viewed at the time as a loss by the University. Lawrence lost the

Within six years, the asylum had moved to Winfield, where superintendent F. Hoyt Pilcher performed 58 castrations and 150 sterilizations of patients. According to the database, many of those people were mentally ill rather than mentally disabled. Abott died at the Winfield hospital at age 29.

like bioscience is now."
With 30,000 sterilizations across the country in 30 states, Kansas ranked sixth nationally. The Kansas Legislature passed a law in 1913 allowing for the sterilization of "habitual criminals, idiots, epileptics, imbeciles, and insane." These procedures were widely accepted at the time and promoted through the philosophy of eugenics, which teaches that societies can be improved by selective breeding. The law was amended in 1917 to remove courts from the process and make it easier for health boards to have people sterilized. Even so, widespread uncertainty about the law kept the number of sterilizations in the dozens until the Supreme Court ruling in Buck v. Bell clearly approved of it.
MARTIN KALLIKAK
He dollied with a feeble-minded tavern girl
He married a worthy Quakeress
She bore a son known as "Old Horror" who had ten children
She bore seven upright worthy children
From "Old Horror's" ten children came hundreds of the lowest types of human beings
From these seven worthy children came hundreds of the highest types of human beings
"It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them stare for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind," he wrote. "Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
"That's the funny part of this," Wehmeyer said. "What seems like clean-cut violations of basic human rights was part of a progressive agenda. It made for some strange bedfellows."
In the 1920s, Kansas families competed in eugenics-inspired fitness contests at state fairs. Wehmeyer displayed in his office a prize medal from a "Fitter Families Contest" presented by the American Eugenics Society.
"Then you've got wholesale sterilizations," Wehmeyer said. Instead of dozens of sterilizations each year in Kansas, there were hundreds. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' views reflected those that many considered, then and now, to be politically progressive.
Holmes wrote the opinion of the court.
"Yea, I have a goodly heritage," the medal read in part.

Wehmeyer said he bought the medal on Ebay. The image of the medal also appears in "The Child," a book written by Florence Sherbon, a University professor of home economics and a Fitter Families proponent.
Wehmeyer said that the eugenics movement was driven by a complex intersection of movements. Psychology and the science of genetics were emerging together, and the industrial revolution inspired people to believe that science could solve all of their problems. The progressive movement, which was powerful in Kansas, encouraged people to work for the improvement of society. Some progressives, such as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist William Allen White, for whom the University School of Journalism was named, fought against the eugenics movement, but its popularity carried it through the 1940s.
The "good" and the "bad" Kallikaks demonstrate the influence of heredity.
FROM "GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY"
The eugenics movement fell out of favor and the number of sterilizations performed each year dropped drastically following World War II. This was partly because the philosophy of eugenics was similar to the rhetoric associated with the Holocaust, Wehmeyer said. Courts now consider forced sterilization to be clearly unconstitutional.
Wehmeyer said pointing the finger at a few policy makers and physicians of the past would be "the easy thing to do."
"There was widespread adoption and acceptance of eugenics," he said. "In the 1950s, it was hard to find anyone who wasn't."
Wehmeyer said it was hard to imagine such things happening
again. Attitudes about disability have changed and states have added legal protections for disabled people. But he doesn't discount the danger of abuse whenever some people are identified as defective.
"When you think of people as different, you run a risk," he said.

Malott evacuated due to chemical smell
Malott Hall was evacuated yesterday after reports of a chemical smell, which could have indicated a hazardous chemical spill.
The fire alarm for the building, which houses the chemistry department, activated about 10 a.m., forcing more than 50 students out of their classrooms and into the cold.
Malott Hall reopened at 11:14 a.m. No hazardous materials were found in the building. According to KU campus alerts, the smell may have come from workers sealing floors.

New Kentucky talent too much for the Jayhawks

Big 12 season forecast
With the college basketball season officially underway, here's how I see the Big 12 playing out this season:
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
1. Baylor: The Bears are loaded in the frontcourt, led by 6-foot-11 sophomore forward Perry Jones III, who shocked experts when he bypassed the NBA draft and returned for a second season in Waco. Senior forward Quincy Acy averaged 12.4 points per game last year and five-star recruit Quincy Miller joins both players down low. Good point guard play could take the Bears to New Orleans and the Final Four.
2. Kansas: With a thin front court and only one seasoned veteran guard in the backcourt with senior Tyshawn Taylor, the Jayhawks will struggle with scores at times. There's still talent there, though. Another conference title wouldn't shock many people.
9. Oklahoma: Lon Kruger is a great coach, but this Oklahoma roster is pretty bad. It will take a year or two before Kruger will have any success down in Norman.
10. Texas Tech: Red Raider coach Billy Gillispie is in the same position as Kruger; e good coach who inherited a really bad roster. Both coaches will need time to recruit.
8. Kansas State: The loss of Jacob Pullen will really hurt Frank Martin's club this year. Junior guard Rodney McGruder and senior forward Jamar Samuels will lead the Wildcats, who will have the talent advantage in Big 12 games exactly four times this season: each pair of games against the two following teams.
Edited by Lindsey Deiter
3. Texas A&M: The Aggies return six of their eight leading scorers and junior forward Khris Middleton will vie for All-Big 12 honors this season. Returning senior point guard Dash Harris will also be huge for the Aggies, who look to make their seventh consecutive NCAA tournament appearance.
7. Missouri: If coach Mike Anderson hadn't left and senior forward Laurence Bowers hadn't suffered an injury that ended the season for him, the Tigers would be a top-three contender this year. But that's not the case. With a new system and without its best interior defender, Missouri will struggle to guard anyone down low this season.
4. Texas: Junior guard JCovan Brown is the real deal and with the departure of Dogus Balbay, who seemed to always have the ball in his hands. Brown will get plenty of chances to score. High school All-American Myck Kabongo joins the Longhorns, creating quite the duo with Brown on the perimeter.
6. Iowa State: The Cyclones are the toughest team to predict here because coach Fred Hoiberg welcomes in a slew of transfers. Chemistry will be an issue but talent is there, including former Michigan State guard Chris Allen and former Minnesota forward Royce White. Look for the Cyclones to be gelling by January.
5. Oklahoma State: Upperclassmen guards Keion Paige and Jean-Paul Olukemi both average double figures in career scoring. High school All-American LeBryan Nash is a scoring machine on the wing and will be great when he adjusts to the college level.

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland scores a field goal against Creighton during the second half of the game Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. Sutherland scored a total of 16 points, and junior forward Carolyn Davis scored a total of 14 points for the 73-59 victory.
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Kansas notched its ninth straight victory against Creighton, 73-59, yesterday evening. This gave each Jayhawk, with the exception of freshman guard Asia Boyd, an opportunity to play in the second game of the season. With 16:23 left in the game, junior forward Carolyn Davis picked up her third foul. Though Davis only played 18 minutes in her regular season debut, she shone as the star Kansas fans have to expect. She was efficient, scoring 14 points and shooting 5 of 7 from the field.
Davis returned to the start-
ing lineup and won the toffор of
the jayhawks, coming off a stress fracture in her right foot.
"She is a tough kid and resilient," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Freshman Bunny Williams and sophomore Tania Jackson filled in for Davis at the forward position. Filling out the front court, senior forward Aishah Sutherland played 30 minutes and recorded a double-double.
"She got some tough rebounds," Henrickson said. "In traffic she got fouled a couple times and that's who I think she can be and that is who we need her to be."
"I need to work on my consistency," Sutherland said. "I was really focused on getting rebounds tonight."
Sutherland said when Davis is out, she needs to produce more on both sides of the court.
Sutherland, too, faced trouble late in the game, finishing with four fouls.
The Jayhawks' shooting was solid, as they shot 53.8 percent from the field. However, it was the 25 turnovers that stood out to Henrickson.
"That's just about making better decisions because it is careless," Henrickson said. "I don't know what drill you do for that."
Of the .25 turnovers, 14 were committed by players in the post. Creighton was able to convert 19 points off turnovers.
times about passes that aren't there," Henrickson said. "We settle down and we just waste possessions."
"We are very optimistic at
The Jayhawks faced full-court pressure for the majority of the game, which caused problems as they found themselves sped up.
"We just need to learn how to handle pressure," Sutherland said.
Sophomore guard Keena Mays returned to the lineup after Hemrickson sat her out for the first game. Mays, who started all 34 games last season, impressed with two straight steals and layup possessions late in the second half. Mays played 19 minutes and scored nine points off 4 of 6 shooting from the field.
Henrickson was pleased to see the renewed effort and enthusiasm from Mays.
"She has practiced better and been more consistent," Henrickson said. "There is no doubt we are better when she plays well."
Mays said the message was received and she is dedicated to making a difference when she is on the court.
"I knew whenever I went in I had to help my team," Mays said. "I just want to play."
Kansas will travel to Winston Salem, N.C., to face Wake Forrest at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Jayhawks fall to Sooners, despite kills

The volleyball team finished with more kills than Oklahoma in its game on Wednesday. However, it also had more than twice as many attack errors, and the Sooners handed the all-or-nothing Jayhawks another conference loss at home.
The lajayhaws (14-13, 2-12) totailed 26 attack errors and eight service errors and lost to the Sooners (20-9, 7-6) in four sets at home, 20-25, 26-24, 23-25, 17-25.
Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield smashes the ball into Oklahoma's defense. Mayfield had 18 kills, two aces and scored 21 points for the night. The Jayhawks lost three sets to one.
After trading blows in the first two sets, the Sooners captured the third by the slimmest of margins. The Jayhawks led by four points late, 18-14, but a yellow card issued to Sooners coach Santiago Restrepo seemed to inspire his souad. The Sooners went on a 6-2 rn.t to take the lead in the moments immediately after their coach was warned, seizing the set on a kill by senior outside hitter Suzy Boulavsky. Boulavsky finished with 17 kills and only one attack error on the evening.
IAN TRIMBLE/KANSAI
"There was a call, a little delay in the action, and then we made unforced errors," coach Ray Bechard said. "A two-to-one lead after that match is a lot different than losing a tough third set. It's really frustrating."
"I think we try to be aggressive, but the key to being aggressive and successful is that you need to be consistent," middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said. "We need to maintain that aggression but also know when it's better to play the ball safe than to error."
After a competitive start to the decisive fourth set, the Sooners would pull away, finishing on a 17-10 run. An attack error by senior
outside hitter Allison Mayfield was the game-winning point for the Sooners.
In the third and fourth sets alone, the Jayhawks made 15 hitting errors compared to only three from the Sooners.
One bright spot for the laj Hawks was the emergence of freshman outside hitter Chelsea Albers, who had a career-high 10 kills and only two errors. Albers said she pinned the loss on chemistry and effort.
"Obviously it's a beatable team," Albers said. "It's just, especially near the end of the season, it's a tough way to end up on our home court, to know that we didn't give enough effort to beat them when we could have."
Albers echoed Jarmo's comment about playing smarter and avoiding errors caused by overaggression. She also said the team that takes the court is sometimes different from the one that shows up to practice.
Albers said that how the team shows up at games can sometimes be a problem.
"Practice is different. We're always together in practice and we're always on," Albers said. "But when it comes to game time situations, we talk about how we need to be
less flustered, we need to be aggressive and we need to be together as a team."
The Jayhawks tried to present a balanced attack, featuring five attackers with more than 20 total attempts, including Jarmoc and Albers. But the scrappy Sooners out-dug the Jayhawks*j)-55 and kept rallies going, and longer ra-

"We'll never, ever not keep working at it," Bechard said. "Those kids are playing their butts off and they want different results. They're human too, so there is frustration and disappointment."
said the team does not have time to dwell on this outcome.
"The next team you play is not going to pity that you just lost," Jarmoc said. "We've been very good at getting back in the gym, having a positive mind set and just going hard, trying to improve."

Email details alleged Sandusky shower attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- A day after the former Penn State assistant football coach who is charged with sexual abuse of boys declared his innocence in a television interview, an email surfaced from a key witness against him, saying he stopped an alleged attack in the team's showers.
Mike McQueary, the graduate assistant who a grand jury report said saw Jerry Sandusky allegedly sodomizing a boy in the locker
room, said he stopped the act and went to police. That added confusion to the already emotionally raw situation that has enveloped Penn State University and resulted in the firing of coach Joe Paterno, the ousting of president Graham Spanier and charges of perjury against the athletic director and a former senior vice president.
The Nov. 8 email from McQuaye to a friend, made available to The Associated Press, said: "I did stop it, not physically ... but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker
McQuary is a former player and current assistant coach who was placed on indefinite paid leave last week after school officials said he had received threats. Emails sent to him seeking comment were not immediately returned.

It was seen as the talented but young Wildcats — many of them just months removed from the McDonald's High School All-American game — against the seasoned veterans of Kansas.
Except that it wasn't.
Yes, Kentucky has a staggering five McDonald's High School All-Americans on its roster, and yes, three of those are freshman. But sophomores Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones played 1,078 and 1,196 minutes last year, respectively. Senior starting point guard Darius Miller also played a lot of minutes last season, finishing with 1,178. That bests Kansas' two most experienced players, Tyshawn Taylor (977) and Thomas Robinson (482), and dwarfs anyone else in the Kansas rotation.
While a handful of Kentucky freshman experienced their first big-time college game in the 75-65 Kentucky victory, it wasn't much different for many of the Jayhawks. Even Thomas Robinson, who was pegged by CBS as a pre-season First Team All-American, only averaged 14.6 minutes per game last season.
Both teams showed the effects of inexperience in the first half with errant passes, shaky dribbling and poor shot selection. With a 28-28 tie in the waning seconds of the first half, Tyshawn Taylor dribbled past half court. He began to make a move on a Wildcat defender but seemed to trip over his own feet, losing the ball as the final seconds ticked off the clock and leaving the half-time scored tied. Kentucky's freshmen committed more than their fair share of mistakes in the first half as well, but Kansas wasn't able to take advantage. The first 20 minutes looked like most early-November games do: extra sloppy with a case of not-sure-how-to-play-together-yet for both teams.
In the second half, as Kansas continued to struggle on offense, Kentucky's talent woke up. The Wildcats opened up the half with a 13-2 run and never looked back. Kansas mistakes turned into Kentucky dunks in seconds. The Jayhawks shot just $3.9 percent from the field and drives to the basket were met with the long arms of 6-foot-10 Anthony Davis and 6-foot-9 Terrence Jones, both future pros who wreaked havoc on the Kansas offense for much of the night.
Kentucky coach John Calipari told ESPN that he doesn't have a good team yet. But as everyone found out, sometimes talent just takes over.
It won't be the last time Kentucky's uberathleticism simply overwhelms an opponent this season, and luckily for Kansas and its fans, the Jayhawks won't see a team more talented than their opponents on Tuesday night.

Tiger meets former caddie after volatile split
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia
MELBOURNE Tiger Woods, in the same group as former caddie Steve Williams for the first time since their acrimonious split, has teed off for the Americans at the Presidents Cup.

Two weeks ago, Williams made a racial slur against Woods at a caddies party in Shanghai. Williams apologized, but their on-course meeting has been one of the most-anticipated pairings of the Presidents Cup.
Woods and Williams shook hands on the first tee and Woods later hit his tee shot straight down the fairway at Royal Melbourne.
The Internationals took the early lead in three matches and the Americans in two, while Woods' match was all square after the first.
The biggest early swing came in the match involving Americans Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson,
Watson and Simpson are Presidents Cup rookies, while Els once shot a 60 on the composite course at Royal Melbourne to win the Heineken Classic in 2004.

The Big 12 conference has reprimanded Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy and senior linebacker Steven Johnson for public criticizing a face mask penalty called on Anthony Davis after Saturday's game against Baylor.

"Both individuals violated Conference rules that prohibit coaches, student-athletes, athletic department staff and university personnel from making public comments about game officials," said Big 12 intercommissioner Chuck Neinas. "Consistent with our precedent for such violations, they are being issued a public reprimand."
Hunter Mahan made a short birdie putt on the first to give him and David Toms the lead over the Internationalers' K.T. Kim and Y.E. Yang of South Korea. Retief Goosen and Robert Allenby of the Internationales took a 1-up lead over Phil Mickelson and Jim Furryk after three holes.
The Americans are looking to win the Presidents Cup for the fourth straight time. Royal Melbourne was the site of the International team's only win in 1998.
Officials said Thursday that Friday's fourball competition would be moved up to midmorning tee times due to the threat of inclement weather in the afternoon. Five foursomes and five fourball matches are scheduled Saturday, with 12 singles matches Sunday.

NOTES
- Kansas has won nine straight games against Creighton.
- Davis returned to the starting lineup after missing the first game battling a stress fracture in her right foot.
- Davis has been using the underwater treadmill at the Anderson Family Football Complex because the pool at the basketball facility is too shallow for the 6-foot-3 forward.
- Sophomore guard Keena Mays played her first game of the season after Henrickson benched her because of a lack of dedication and effort in practice.
- The victory marked Kansas' sixth straight non-conference victory.

Coming into Wednesday night's contest, the KU women's basketball team homed in on one part of their opponent Creighton's play, defending three-point shooting. Earlier this week the team focused on this aspect were able to hold the Bluejays to 25 percent from three-point range and 35 percent overall.
"We had times where we did good and times where we laid off," junior guard Angel Goodrich said.
It was the Jayhawks who came out hitting three. Kansas finished four out of nine attempts.
Somewhat of a surprise of the night was junior forward Carolyn Davis returning to the starting lineup. Davis started the game and logged significantly fewer minutes than normal but still helped the Javhaws.
job and our trainers have done a great job."
"Her rhythm was good and I thought she looked great," Henrickson said. "She has done a great
With Davis playing fewer minutes, senior forward Aishah Sutherland stepped up. Tonight she finished with a double-double including 16 points and 14 re-bounds.
"I was focused on rebounding tonight," Sutherland said. "That's what the coaches told me to focus on and that's what I did."
The Jayhawks were also solid from the line tonight as they went 13 of 14 from the line. However, they feel they could improve on the amount of turnovers because they had 25 in yesterday's game.
"Certainly we need to handle the ball better because we got sloppy," Henrickson said. "I thought we were really aggressive early defensively and our balance was good."
The Bluejays came into this game with a 2-0 record and showed why they will be a contender in the Missouri Valley Conference this season. Creighton's main focus last night was to implement a
full-court press on Kansas.
"We knew maybe we would give up a few things in that but felt we could tire Angel out or do some things to fatigue them, but their guard depth was a lot better with her," said Creighton coach Jim Flanery.
Goodrich played 36 minutes, the most of any Jayhawk tonight. She finished with 12 points.
"We need to be consistent and continue to push and get our points in our transition." Goodrich said.
"I think we had good confidence on offense coming into this game," Tritz said. "We can't play a Big 12 team like tonight and shoot 35 percent like we did to win."
Aside from Tritz, sophomore forward Sarah Nelson was another solid contributor with 11 points.
Sophomore guard Carli Tritz was the leading scorer for Creighton with 12 points in 18 minutes.
11:58 - Mays hits a three pointer, her first points of the season.
11:15 - Goodrich hits a three to give Kansas a double-digit lead.
17:13 Davis scores a layup, her first of the regular season.

Aggies give a different challenge to offense
LETHAN PADWAY
ETHAN PADWAT

The offense found its rhythm Saturday against Baylor, moving the football consistently throughout the game for the first time since the team entered Big 12 conference play.
This week, the Jayhawks will try to get similar results offensively against a defensive scheme that's the opposite of the schemes they've faced the past two weeks.
"Iowa State and Baylor were pretty standard in what they did defensively," coach Turner Gill said. "Now we go against A&M, where they're multiple in what they do
and how they do things and try to cause a lot of havoc on the defensive side of the ball."
Gill said this would give Kansas a challenge.
The Aggies use multiple fronts to disguise their defense and put pressure on the quarterback. The team blitzes more frequently than most teams in the Big 12.
The Aggies have been successful in their blitzes, ranking second in the nation in sacks per game.
"They want to hit the quarterback and rattle him, so we have to be good in protection," Chuck Long, offensive coordinator, said.
The blitzing brings extra pressure on quarterbacks, but opens up holes in the Aggies' secondary.The talented quarterbacks of the Big 12
have found those holes, leaving the Aggies second to last in the NCAA in passing defense.
"You have to find where they settle and hit the spots," Long said. "I will say it's a lot tougher on younger quarterbacks than it is on older guys. Guys who've been around and have seen all that from week to week, they can pick it out."
With the Jayhawks relying heavily on their run game, the teams will be pitted against each other in a strength vs. strength matchup when the Jayhawks have the ball.
While their secondary has been exposed, up front the Aggies are stout, ranking 20th in the nation in rushing defense.
"We want to maintain ourselves,
establish ourselves as a running
team," senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. "That's what we want to do, we want to run the ball."
With the Aggies ranking in the top 20 in the nation in passing, rushing and scoring, the Jayhawks will need to win the battle on offense to keep up.
If they don't, they could end up leaving the state of Texas humiliated for the second time this season.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said Kansas would have to take what the Aggies' defense dishes out and run the ball when possible.
"But when it comes down to it, you have to take the play that's called and make it work," Webb said.

In today's excerpt, Tyrel talks about his freshman year, the march to the 2008 Final Four and a players-only meeting that changed a season and lifting the "Final Four Monkey" off his coach's back.
Our first big road test that year was at Southern Cal, which had O.J. Mayo, who was one of the top players in that class.
We were up by two points in the final minute, but the clock was such that unless we got an offensive rebound on a miss, USC was going to get another possession. With a few seconds left on the shot clock, Mario took a deep threepointer that probably wasn't a very good shot at the time. I'm guessing Coach was thinking that was a terrible shot so late in the clock, but once it went in I think all was forgiven. We didn't know it at the time, but there was some foreshad-
We realized we weren't invincible, and one of the
outcomes was the realization some things needed to be said,some things needed to be heard and we needed to sort it all out as a team.
TYREL REED
Former KU basketball player
We had a couple other tough road games that year. We won a close one at Georgia Tech, and played really well at Boston College, blowing them out.
owing in that shot.
Our record was
Well, it was their night. The building was so loud, and they played really well. That was Jan. 30. We lost again at Texas on Feb. 11 in a game I don't think there is much to say about. The one that really shook us was two games later at Oklahoma State. The week leading up to that game was a tough one for us, especially Darnell. He had been through a lot of tragedies already in his life, and his cousin had been killed earlier in the week. Sherron was hurt too, and didn't play much (11 minutes).
That loss shook us up a little bit. We realized we weren't invincible, and one of the outcomes was the realization some things needed to be said, some things needed to be heard and we needed to sort it all out as a team. The manifestation of this was that some guys on the team — I can't remember who — decided we ought to go to Henry T's for dinner as a team, an event which I am now aware has taken on something of a legendary quality. I assume this is at least partially because nobody outside the team knows exactly what happened there, except that we never lost again that season.
So here's the story; Henry T's is a sports bar known for its wings and burgers. It has one extra large booth in one of the corners, which suited us fine. There was nothing
"official" about this meeting. It was just sort of like, "Hey, we're going to Henry T's," and everybody showed up.
I imagine the other people in the restaurant were pretty curious about all this. Because we all have different schedules, it's pretty rare to see the entire basketball team in the same place at the same time unless we're playing in a game or something. But there we all were. The idea was that if you had something to say, this was the time to say it. If you had some issue with a teammate or a coach, get it off your chest here and now. You could say whatever you wanted to say, no holds barred. In other words, what we said mattered less than the fact we were saying things.
I think it was a turning point. There might have been a little animosity and guys were maybe saying stuff to other people instead of coming out in front of everybody and saying how they felt. It was a 45-minute meal and we were out. I think we grew closer that night. I wouldn't expect people to fully understand what that was all about. There are probably 3,000 different stories going around, and although I don't think it happened in this case, sometimes players like to kind of mess with the media a little bit, or say something they don't understand.
We beat Iowa State in Ames in our next game, and then it was on to the rematch with K-State. Allen Fieldhouse was on fire that night. So loud. It's like that any time we play K-State, but I think the fans were a little extra pumped because Michael Beasley had said they were going to beat us in Manhattan, they were going to beat us in
we went to Manhattan to play K-State. We had never lost in Bramage Coliseum before, and it was 24 years old. Now that I think about it, that's pretty crazy. Bramage was always the toughest arena I played in, and I have no idea how those teams that came before us never lost there.
We went over there expecting to win, just the same as we expect to win every game. But I think K-State had no doubts they were going to win that game. They had Michael Beasley and Bill Walker and it was supposed to be a
Lawrence, and they were able to beat us in Africa. Now, as players, we're all the same age and we realize we say dumb things at times. I'm guessing Mike to the floor. I can only a weight was lifted off his shoulders. The locker room was funny. When we got in there, we were all calm and cool. Coach Self walked in there and he was like, "What are you guys doing? Let's celebrate." He was jumping around, we threw a bucket of water on him, and we started throwing water on each other. It probably got out of hand and we had to stop.
I guess Darnell said coach Self teared up. I don't remember him bawling or anything but there were definitely those emotions!
16. Which put us in the Elite Eight, where we had lost the year before, against Davidson, who was everybody's Cinderella story.

As much as you try to ignore everything, there are certain facts that people just won't let you forget. We were aware that all of coach Self's best tournament runs had ended in the Elite Eight. It had happened to him at Tulsa, Illinois, and twice at Kansas. And we were also dealing with the Cinderella thing. Everybody wanted them to win, and they were on a roll. Stephen Curry was great, and they had another guard that was very good and a big guy, also.
There is a lot of pressure to perform well. Not just at Kansas, either. But you really feel those NCAA Tournament losses. You feel like you're letting people down.
Anyway, we played like we felt the pressure that night. It was a tight, low-possession game. On the last possession, we put Brandon on Curry. He was our best overall defender and we were pretty sure Curry was going to be taking the shot. But Brandon fell down, Mario took Curry and he passed it off to their other guard, who put up a long three that would have won it. I was on the sideline, I'm sitting there, leaning out, and it looked like that shot was going in.
We played Portland State in the first round. Then we had a nice game against UNLV and whipped Villanova pretty hard in the Sweet
My heart was thumping. I think coach Self's was, too. He collapsed
TYREL REED
Former KU basketball player
The NCAA Tournament is a totally different animal from the regular season. You get funky game times; you don't know who you're going to play. It's weird. The stands are often half full and even the half that is there is a mix of a few different teams' fans.

w o u l d like to have that like back. Or maybe he wouldn't. I don't know. At any rate, it turned him into an even bigger target for our fans than he already was (which was pretty big).
Kansas got up by 24 in the second half and won 88-74.
We had one more chance for a revenge game that year, and it came in the Big 12 championship game against Texas. The memorable thing about that game was how well both teams played. It was almost surreal to watch. If you're a basketball fan, that had to be fun to watch because of the pure skill and talent on display. That's one of the better halves of basketball that I've witnessed.

him at that time. I can only imagine coaching in college basketball for so long and coming so close; You're so defined by that last game in college. I think we need to be held accountable for losing in the NCAA Tournament, but we try not to let it define us as a team. Things happen. It's tough when people say we had a bad season. You wish it wouldn't be that way, that you went 35-3 but didn't have a good year. I think at a lot of places that would be a pretty good year.
The Davidson win was really a pressure release in a lot of ways. I felt like once we got to the Final Four, there was a sense of calmness.

EDU LOH'S NOVEMBER
I don't know whether it was the shame of publicly drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade or growing up with a beer-snob dad, but shortly after turning 21, I was determined to take a liking to beer.
I saw the famed and affordable college party beers as nothing more than piss-like and, aside from reading the different bottles' labels, I didn't enjoy anything about my dad's chosen brews. No matter what I tried, I seemed to always wind up looking like the bitter beer face guy.
Then, last spring a friend introduced me to Blue Moon. The pale ale and Belgian white catered to my inexperienced pallet and, little did I know, provided a good foundation for a developing brewmaster.
At the time, I couldn't even have told you how a pale ale or a Belgian white compared to other brews. Then, after a fall break trip
to the Napa Valley of beer, Colorado, I had a crash course in handcrafted brews. I learned about lagers, ales, wheat beers and hops. This equipped me to navigate my way through the make-your-own-six-pack area at the liquor store, which further grew my affinity for beer and my bottle collection.
My beerventures taught me that even though beer requires only four standard ingredients (water, malt, yeast and hops), getting the taste just right requires a lot more understanding and patience. Homebrewers know this best. For more on homebrewing and what goes into a handcrafted beer, check out Bre's story on page eight.
Just two weeks after my trip to the Rockies, I drank (and even enjoyed) a Guinness Stout with my dad. And after that, I don't know if I'll ever consider drinking a sugary malt beverage again.

QUESTION:
My boyfriend recently told me he has a foot fetish and wants me to give him a "foot job." What is a foot job? Do you have any tips on how to give one?
MICHELLE ANSWERS:
Don't be alarmed by your boyfriend's suggestion. I applaud him for communicating his fantasies and desires and suggest you do the same. Encouraging communication and disclosure will aid in the development of a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship.
A foot job is intended to bring a man to climax using just your feet. In preparation for the foot job, invest in a professional pedicure, nylon stockings, and a pair of sexy stilettos. Make the look and feel of your feet as erotic as possible.
Begin the seduction with visual stimulation. As you face each other on the bed, you sitting up and your boyfriend either sitting or lying down, allow your boyfriend to caress and kiss your stockings and stilettos. After an initial feel,
he may want to remove your stiletto, massage, caress, or lick your feet. In addition, he could even go as far as using the shoe as a tool for masturbation.
At some point, have him slowly remove your stockings, exposing your bare feet. Your boyfriend might want to lick your feet and suck your toes. Following the oral act, either you or your boyfriend should apply lubrication to your feet and his penis. Lotion, baby oil, massage oil, or non oil-based lubricants can be used. However, if you are using a condom, never use oil-based lubricants, as they corrode latex.
Place the balls and heels of your feet together, leaving the space between your arches open. Insert and stroke his penis in the space between your arches. If you have trouble keeping your feet firmly together, have him hold your feet and maneuver the action. You might also change things up by placing the tip of his penis in between your big toe and second toe and stroke with one heel, while lightly caressing his scrotum with the other. To make things even
more spicy, use the stockings to blindfold him and tie his hands together. After he climaxes, make the clean-up part of the erotic fantasy as well by allowing him to wash your feet.
Incorporating fetish into your sex play is a great way to keep things exciting in the bedroom. Have fun sharing and exploring everything that turns you and your partner on.

5 QUESTIONS // RODERICK WORLD HARRIS & STEPHEN HICKS
> Two people. Five questions. See how they stack up.
TAYLOR LEWIS
RODERICK WORLD HARRIS > Roderick is a rapper and actor from Lawrence.
It would probably be played by me because I'm an actor too. 50 Cent played 50 Cent, Eminem played Eminem, so Roderick would play Roderick.
JOHN JACKSON
I want to sell out American Airlines Center in Dallas for a concert, if Jay-Z can sell out Madison Square Garden, I want to sell out the American Airlines Center.
PASCAL
If your life were a movie, who would play you?
It was in seventh grade at the Boys & Girls Club. I had eaten two big pickles and I had to use the bathroom, but they wouldn't let me go. I accidentally pooped on myself. My coach was there, and he made me clean everything up. It was a nasty moment in my life.
I'd have a house everywhere. I would just live in the world. After all, my name is Roderick "World" Harris. If I wanted to wake up in the morning and go to Africa, I'd wake up in the morning and go to Africa.
Skinny jeans. I don't understand grown men wearing skinny jeans.
That blows my mind. I tried them on, and they didn't fit.
STEPHEN HICKS
> Stephen is a freshmen from Houston majoring in aerospace engineering.
What's the one thing you want to accomplish before you die?
Daniel Craig because I'd want to be him. He's a total badass as James Bond, and James Bond is my hero.
What's your most embarrassing moment?
I would love to sail around the world. I sail boats as a hobby, so to be able to go around the world would be amazing. I'd like to take a year off of work and just travel around the entire world at my leisure with friends.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
In the doorways at my high school there were double doors connected by a pole. I was talking to this girl I liked and I was looking at her instead of forward. I ran straight into the divider and hit my head. It hurt bad, and I was really embarrassed. She got a laugh out of it.
What's one fashion trend that you just don't understand?
I'd live in Vancouver, British Columbia because it is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. On one end of the city is a big harbor for shipping, and on the other end are mountains. It's cool to look one way and see a mountain range, and then look the other way and see the ocean.

for us, especially Darnell. He had been through a lot of tragedies already in his life, and his cousin had been killed earlier in the week. Sherron was hurt too, and didn't play much (11 minutes).
That loss shook us up a little bit. We realized we weren't invincible, and one of the outcomes was the realization some things needed to be said, some things needed to be heard and we needed to sort it all out as a team. The manifestation of this was that some guys on the team — I can't remember who — decided we ought to go to Henry T's for dinner as a team, an event which I am now aware has taken on something of a legendary quality. I assume this is at least partially because nobody outside the队 knows exactly what happened there, except that we never lost again that season.
So here's the story: Henry T's is a sports bar known for its wings and burgers. It has one extra large booth in one of the corners, which suited us fine. There was nothing

The NCAA Tournament is a totally different animal from the regular season. You get funky game times; you don't know who you're going to play. It's weird. The stands are often half full and even the half that is there is a mix of a few different teams' fans.

I think we need to be held accountable for losing in the NCAA Tournament, but we try not to let it define us as a team. Things happen. It's tough when people say we had a bad season. You wish it wouldn't be that way, that you went 35-3 but didn't have a good year. I think at a lot of places that would be a pretty good year.
The Davidson win was really a pressure release in a lot of ways. I felt like once we got to the Final Four, there was a sense of calmness.

HOW WE MET // LAURA WHITNEY & TOMMY JOHNSON > All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Jazz music brought Laura Whitney, a senior from Aurora, Neb., and Tommy Johnson, a Ph.D. student from Lawrence, together.
Three years ago, Laura was walking down Massachusetts Street when she noticed a group of jazz musicians playing outside of Angler's Seafood House. Tommy was playing the trumpet and he caught Laura's eye. Laura, a jazz aficionado with many musician friends, told him about an upcoming jam session. This was the end of their interaction for two years.
It was in November 2010 that she recognized his picture on her friend's Facebook profile. Laura, who played the piano and wanted to expand her network, added him as a friend.
It was also around this time she noticed jazz musician Esperanza Spalding would perform in Grinnell, Iowa, the same town where Tommy got his Bachelor's degree. She messaged him to get an estimation of the drive time, and he responded that he would like to go to the concert, suggesting they carpool. "I was afraid it was going to be awkward, but I figured he was OK because we had mutual friends," Laura says.
Tommy picked her up and they made the trip
to and from Iowa. Though the drive could've been awkward, the pair immediately connected.
One year later, music still plays a role in their relationship. The couple loves going to concerts together, and although they live in separate apartments, they have "joint custody" of a cat who they named Louis Armstrong.
"The main thing that we had in common was our music," Tommy says. "That was our starting point."

Six months ago, Max Clarkson's wart on the bottom of his left middle finger disappeared. Clarkson, a fifth-year senior from Prairie Village, says he had the wart for more than a year before it went away. He says the wart was bother-some, so he would pick off the top layer to try to get rid of it. But each time, it came back, so he let nature take its course.
THAT'S DISGUSTING // COMMON WARTS
Although the whitish, rough bump sitting on Clarkson's finger was annoying and unattractive, warts are not dangerous, just disgusting. Warts are a virus from the Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, and get into skin cells through minor cuts, says Matthew Buxton, a dermatologist at Free State Dermatology in Lawrence. Once inside, the virus replicates the cells multiple times, turning it into a mound. There are more than 100 types of HPV, but common warts are the least harmless, according to the Mayo Clinic's website.
HPV is contagious, but people get it depending on their immunity to fight off the virus, Buxton says. Once you get one wart, it can easily spread by picking the wart or hiting a nail that
If a particle from a wart falls off in the shower, it can be easily picked up by the next person if he has an open cut on his foot. Also, if you shave over a wart, the razor will carry the virus and can spread to open parts of the body, Buxton says.
has one near it. If you're a nail-biter, warts can spread to your lips.
Washing your hands, wearing shoes in communal showers and not sharing hygiene products and towels decrease your chances of getting the virus.

Photo by Chris Neal Dress For Success: Choosing the right attire shows your future employers you mean business.
You have an hour before you have to leave for an event and you're stuck on what to wear. What do you do? The choices of what to wear are virtually endless, which is why you have to keep one important thing in mind when deciding how to present yourself: how will everyone else be dressed? The answer is easy to find if you're willing to do your research.
First, find out whether the event you're attending calls for business attire or more casual clothing. Often, an invitation it will say what kind of dress is required. Business attire requires a suit and tie for men and a nice dress for ladies, while casual dress can be anything from jeans and a good polo to slacks and a button-up shirt.
If you decide to wing it and go with what you think is best without knowing for sure, you may end up hurting yourself in the long run. "One way people judge your professionalism capacity is through what you are wearing," says Erin Wolfram, assistant director of the University Career Center.
If you're going to a job interview, for example, the person interviewing you might see you as a just a student and not a future employee, says Wolfram. If you're struggling to find clothes for a job interview, you can always go to the University Career Center, located in the Burge Union, and check out some of their business attire in the "Professional Clothing Closet."
Do yourself a favor the next time you're getting ready for an event and be sure to do your research to avoid being the extremely overdressed or underdressed person.

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS /
COOKING A TURKEY
> In case of emergency, read quickly.
Thanksgiving is next week and for some, that means going home for a home-cooked meal. Others might not have that chance, or are cooking Thanksgiving dinner on their own for the first time. Cooking a whole turkey might be intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy. Whether you're just starting out, or you simply want to give mom a hand, follow these steps to create the perfect golden bird.
First, pick a turkey that's the right size for the expected number of guests. "I recommend 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ pounds per person. That makes enough for generous servings as well as leftovers," says Susan Smith, a Butterball Turkey-Talk Line Expert.
Next, thaw the turkey. Keep it in the refrigerator, unopened on a tray. It takes around one day per every four pounds. For example, a 12-pound turkey would take three days to thaw.
Once the turkey is thawed, brush it with vegetable oil and set it breast-side up in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in a 325-degree oven until the breast meat reaches a temperature of 170 degrees and thigh meat reaches 180 degrees. "The average turkey is 13-14 pounds and usually takes three to four hours to cook," Smith says.
Initially leave the turkey uncovered, but when you're more than halfway through cooking, cover with foil to keep top from burning.
Holiday meals are a great way to bring people together. "We used to go out, but one year I decided we should start cooking at home with family," says Jon Coffelt, an alumnus from Lansing. "I cook the turkey every year because I like to follow directions. My mom likes to put in a little of this and a little of that."
Coffelt offers this advice: "Use your own thermometer instead of the one that comes in the turkey. They tend to overcook it."

John McDonald, founder and president of Boulevard Brewing Company, walks through the doors of the largest American-owned brewery in Missouri every morning and is greeted by the smells and sounds of brewing beer. What started out as innocent homebrewing quickly trumped his construction day job and morphed into Boulevard Brewing Company, a brewery that boasts full distribution in 13 Midwestern states.
The standard brown bottle is now anything but standard to him, and the amber-colored liquid inside didn't get that beautiful color by being brewed in gargantuan tanks. McDonald created a Midwest powerhouse brewery, and the best part about it is that he started out at home.
The American Homebrewers Association estimates that there are one million Americans homebrewing beer at least once a year. This trend is becoming more appealing every year. According to a Google search snapshot, the words "home brewing supplies" have quadruple in search volume since 2008.
This mentality created the Lawrence Brewers Guild, the largest brewing guild in Kansas. The guild meets once a month to educate others on homebrewing as well as sample beers that Guild members have brewed. You don't have to be a homebrewing expert to join. Lawrencebrewers.org allows anyone to join online, and after paying a small fee, you're in the guild.
The guild has made beer quite prevalent in Lawrence, and Lake Lero and his father found a way to make it a business. Jake Lero, an alumnus, homebrewer and member of the Lawrence Brewers Guild, opened JWL Craft Brewing at Bob Billings and Kasold with his father, after a playful exchange over why no one had opened up a brewing supply store in town where home brewing thrived. Lero wrote it off as talk, but his dad was more serious. "I was
sitting in a lecture, and I got a text from my dad asking if I wanted to open up a homebrew store with him," he says.
JWL Craft Brewing provide you with everything you need for specialty brewing. They have all the brewing ingredients—extracts, hops, grains—to get you started on your first batch. Lero is willing to take you step-by-step through the brewing process, and though they can't legally teach classes at the store, he's willing to show you how to brew in the comfort of your own home.
Obviously, opening up a homebrew store is a bit more of an investment than simply buying the equipment. The minimum start-up cost is about $150, and if you want to get fancy, it can go as high as $250. Start-up supplies include a boiling pot, fermenting and bottling bucket, capping and siphoning equipment, Lero says. The base ingredients for the beer include water, malt, yeast and hops.
But homebrewing can also prevent expensive trips to bars. Amanda Kong, a senior from Lawrence, prefers to drink at home before spending her money at the bars on low-quality beer. "Most bars charge $4 a pint for anything decent, so I usually get a 6-pack of something enjoyable like Boulevard IPA. That way by the time I go out, I haven't compromised on taste or my bank account," Kong says.
Money aside, some students prefer homebrewed beers to commercialized beers because of the quality. Kurt Lehner, a senior from Cheny, is one of them. "Commercialized beers pretty much have the same texture. There's no room for uniqueness in a huge brewing process," Lehner says. Others students prefer it because of the flavor. "If I'm going to drink a beer, I want it to taste like beer, not water," says Mark Ross, a senior from Horton.
When it comes down to it, the only way to be certain your beer will be just what you wanted is to brew it yourself. Jack Goboo is a
homebrewer in Santa Cruz, Calif. Gobbo started brewing in 1998 and became so fond of the hobby that he created his own label to stick on the bottles. He calls his beer "Cruz Brew." He says that the steps to all-grain brewing are straightforward and simple.
Mashing or steeping is when you mix milled or cracked malted barley grains in 170 degree water for up to an hour in a seven gallon stainless steel pot. During this hour-long steep, the starch in the grains is converted into fermented sugar by enzymes naturally present in the malted barley, Gobbo says. Once the sugar has been converted, place the grain in a strainer and run hot water over it. This rinses the sugars out of the grains in a process called sparging. The runoff, called wort, is then collected in another seven gallon stainless steel pot. From there you boil the wort and add your choice of hops. Boil for around one hour for complete flavor incorporation. "Adding hops provides the beer
with aroma, bitterness and flavor," Gobbo says.
You've mashed and boiled, and the next step is to add yeast. After the wort has cooled to 70 degrees, transfer it to a six gallon container and add the specialized beer yeast. The yeast then "eats" the fermented sugars from the wort. The by-product of this process is CO2 and alcohol. This process can take up to a week. If you add yeast to wort that is above 70 degrees, you can kill the yeast, ruining your brew.
After a week,the product will actually taste like beer, but will be flat and a bit murky, which is why the next step, carbonation, is necessary. Gobbo says to transfer the flat beer to another six gallon container. This removes the finished beer from the dead yeast cells that remained in the initial six gallon container, as well as allowing the beer to settle and become more clarified. Adding a small amount of corn sugar to the container allows the corn sugar to eat the final traces of live yeast. Fill and cap 12-ounce

We had one more chance for a revenge game that year, and it came in the Big 12 championship game against Texas. The memorable thing about that game was how well both teams played.

I think we need to be held accountable for losing in the NCAA Tournament, but we try not to let it define us as a team. Things happen. It's tough when people say we had a bad season. You wish it wouldn't be that way, that you went 35-3 but didn't have a good year. I think at a lot of places that would be a pretty good year.
The Davidson win was really a pressure release in a lot of ways. I felt like once we got to the Final Four, there was a sense of calmness.

bottles, and let them sit for two weeks in order for the beer to carbonate itself.
Thankfully, there is a reward to all your homebrewing hard work. The health benefits of beer have recently been something to take note of. The American Heart Association now posts the benefits of drinking beer in moderation on its website in association to potential heart health. Robert A. Wascher, doctor and author of A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race in Phoenix, refers to studies that have shown upsides to drinking one beer per day. "Alcohol itself, polyphenolic compounds [antioxidants] from plant foods that work in the body to enhance health], and hops have all been linked to improvements in cardiovascular health," Wascher says.
As far as light and dark beer benefits go, when it comes to your health, the darker the better. "In general, research suggests that lighter beers may be less effective in reducing cardiovascular disease when compared to heavier styles of beer," Wascher says.
But those health benefits aren't obtained if you're brewing beer the wrong way. The first step is sanitation. This is key because germs love fermenting beer and will destroy the entire batch if not sanitized correctly, says Lero. Jeremy Denner, brewer for Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City, Mo., also emphasizes the point on sanitation. "You could make the most complex beer with 12 different malts and eight hop varieties, but if you can't clean and sanitize your fermenter properly, you're going to end up with infected, undrinkable beer," Denner.
Another common mistake new brewers make is being too complex. Denner suggests brewers begin with a beer they drink frequently so they know if they're making it correctly. Denner also recommends a pale ale. "With a clean, balanced pale ale, there's nowhere for the off flavors to hide. Keep it simple," Denner says.
Crafting beer can be as creative or as generic as you want to make it. Lero has brewed recipes of coconut time and sunflower wheat beers as well as mint chocolate and peanut butter chocolate stouts. One member from the Guild makes a lemon honey ginger pale ale, which Lero said was an "excellent" brew.
When it comes to specialty beers, Denner says it's all about balance. Many places brew raspberry, blueberry and pumpkin beers according to the season. "If you're going to make a raspberry beer, I would suggest using whole raspberries or a very high quality raspberry extract. For pumpkin beers, the flavor is really about the spices, not so much the pumpkin flavor," Denner says. "With fruit beers, I think it's important to think outside the box and combine flavors that aren't always obvious.
Beer has a lot more depth despite its usual pale-colored appearance. The homebrew start-up may seem steep, but the paybacks eventually add up, whether it's cash saved from going to the bars, high-fives from your friends or just crafting a beer that is specifically tailored to your taste buds. The ingredient list is short and sweet. Get to brewing and even your heart may thank you.
How homebrewing saves you money
Let's say, for example, you go to $1.50 night every Tuesday at the Jazzhaus and $1.50 at the Hawk every Wednesday. You buy three drinks during your night out. Here's how your weekly drinking habits add up:
One semester of going out on Tuesday and Wednesday nights (excluding finals weeks) equals 32 nights out. Tuesday and Wednesday nights end up costing: $4.50 Per week, that costs you: $9.00 Per semester, that costs you: $144

He opened the door to see what the noise was and an intruder walked directly past him without any acknowledgment. Peter ended up in a frightening situation and was left shaken up. He chose not to disclose his full name to protect his safety.

My roommate Dave and I started questioning who the individual was and he replied with some hubbub about how he was meeting with a "friend" of some sorts. This guy was big, stocky and about 6-foot-1. He definitely worried me because I could tell he was tough.
At that point Dave had come down the stairs to try and break it up and as I looked at him, the guy placed his hands around my neck shoving me against the table next to my room. I fell backward over it while my head and shoulders dangled over the ledge of the stairwell, where I could have fallen 10 feet upside down.
I asked him again for his name and who the friend he wanted to see was as I gave him a shove against the wall. A third time I asked him for his name and purpose for being in our home while giving him a significantly more violent shove against the wall.
I got to my feet and charged the guy and started hitting him as hard as I could. After a few seconds, Dave then separated us again. Before I had a chance to even react, a different
I've read that when you get in life-threatening situations your adrenaline pumps and your heart rate rises and that sometimes things move in slow motion. That's exactly what happened. I completely zoned out from everything around me and all was quiet. What probably took only 10 seconds seemed to last twice as long. Thankfully, though, Davé snagged me and pulled me up.
guy (who was running up the stairs), grabbed me and pushed me against the wall and storage closet and then all hell broke loose.
Dave continued to defend me and he was able to come between me and the other guys and separate us. The two then began to sprint down the stairs and out the front door while I yelled a bunch of stuff that I probably shouldn't repeat.
Then Dave and I looked at each other and I said, "Holy shit." Both of our eyes were wide open and we basically starred at each other for a few seconds. In my head I was replaying the whole incident thinking about what I could have done differently so that I didn't almost flip over the balcony.
I was kind of mad at myself for letting my guard down even for that split second in such a tense situation. But at the same time, I felt extremely violated, disrespected and disgusted that the whole event had actually taken place.

Are you a PC or Mac Person? What your computer says about you
I know I am not the only one who went to buy my first laptop and found myself wondering "PC or Mac?" My final decision came down to which one was more affordable to me as a college student. PC won that debate.
To me, choosing PC meant choosing affordability. According to the results of an online survey found on Hunch.com, choosing PC instead of Mac means numerous things about my aesthetic preferences, media choices and personality traits.
This year, Hunch.com published an infographic showing different aspects of selfidentified Mac and PC people. Hunch.com is a recommendation site that works by getting to know users to personalize their internet. The site asks about 2,000 "Teach Hunch about you" questions, ranging from "how old are you" to quirky questions like "would you rather ride a Harley or a Vespa?" This gives them a rich source of data to find interesting correlations such as the Mac/PC findings.
The summary of the results breaks down like this: PC people are more likely to be team players, mathematically inclined, introspective, and conservative in politics, art and food; Mac people find it important to be considered unique, and are more liberal with choices in art, food, and even media.
Kelly Ford, vice president of marketing at Hunch Inc., says he expected the differences they found in how Mac people and PC people value design, because design is one of the core components of Apple's identity. "What surprised us is the extent to which there also seem to be deep personality traits that are distinct among the two groups," Ford says.
Robbie Jeronimus, senior from Lenexa, has had a PC all of his life. His roommate has always had a Mac. They both fit into some of the categories but "only to a certain extent," Jeronimus says. "I don't think there is that big of a difference," at least not as much as the report shows, Jeronimus says.
More than 800 comments on the report sparked heated disputes about its accuracy. Connor Stanton, senior from Johnson, thinks many people fulfill these stereotypes, but the survey oversimplifies types of people who use a
Mac or a PC. "I generally dislike these types of gross stereotype articles like Hunch's survey," Stanton says. Stanton is a Mac person simply because he thinks it is a quality product.
Perhaps each company's marketing team is responsible for the strong correlations associated with each side. Patrick Gray, president of Prevoyance Group, a business strategy consulting company headquartered outside Charlotte, N.C., says both Mac and PC computers can do any task as competently as the other. Gray's company helps executives of other companies understand technology, and he says choosing one is about preference and not technical superiority.
Each marketing team (Mac and PC) wants to convince consumers that they're some combination of more intelligent, handsome, artistic, hip, or sexy, Gray says. "Apple's genius however was convincing consumers that by buying their products, the consumer was more hip or artistically inclined than the comparably boring PC," Gray says. "This doesn't say anything about the consumer except perhaps that
they're more style or appearance conscious, or more easily swayed by marketing."
Ali Mahmood, graduate student from Islamabad, Pakistan, is an engineering student who prefers Mac, something rare to find in the engineering school because most of the software is only compatible with Windows. Only PCs fill the computer labs. For personal use, Mahmood prefers Mac because he thinks it is faster and more reliable than PCs, but he knows that isn't the only reason people choose Mac.
"Most people who use Mac don't know the basic differences between Mac and PC. I think some people use Mac just because it looks cool." Mahmood says. "Some people just follow the trend."
Can we blame them? As I stood in Best Buy trying to make a decision about my laptop, I thought about the Apple commercial with the boring PC guy in a suit and the hip looking Mac guy. I have to admit I wanted to be that hip Mac user.
Which person are you?
PC people:
PC people:
-Prefer to fit in with others
-Say they have a stronger aptitude for math
-Identify their style as casual
-Rather ride a Harley than a Vespa
-More likely to snack on sweet things
-Prefer Hollywood films
Mac people:
-Prefer to be perceived as unique
-Say they have a stronger verbal aptitude
-Describe their style as designer or retro
-Rather go with a Vespa
-More likely to snack on salty things
-Prefers indie films

I was on Louisiana Street right outside of Lawrence High School. Suddenly, I couldn't remember where I was going or what I was doing. I felt sick to my stomach. I knew what was coming next.
I started to hit my brakes and said a choice word. I can't remember which one now, but I remember yelling out something. My car tapped the car in front of me. I blacked out but somehow managed to unbuckle my seat belt, open my car door and fall onto the street, hitting the median.
I was all banged up with black eyes and scrapes all over my face and arms. My knee was swollen to the size of a softball.
The person in the car I had hit called an ambulance. When I regained consciousness after two hours, I was in the hospital and my mom was sitting by my bed, trying to hold it together. She explained to me what had happened. I cried and apologized right away, just like I've done since the first seizure, even though I know it isn't my fault.
I went through a lot of makeup afterward,
covering up the physical evidence of my seizure. My emotions were harder to hide. I would cry all the time, worrying about how often I'd start having seizures again and how it would affect everyone in my life. Until my accident, my family had thought I had grown out of the seizures.
My mom constantly checked in with me and my friends after that day. My brother, a silent worrier, was a senior in high school at the time, and he texted my friends once a week to make sure I was taking care of myself. My boyfriend was new to all of this but he assured me he would always be there for me. It was exactly what I needed to hear from him.
I had two more seizures within the following two months. I switched doctors and medication and haven't had one since.I take care of myself and hope every day that I won't have another one.

Team Bear Club:
BEAR CLUB
| DREW WILLE |
Team Bear Club is a brand without limits. Over its two-year existence, it's progressed from a brand of music to a social and marketing group, clothing brand and more thanks to its growing popularity.
Founder Phil Canty, and co-founder Tom Linder met two and a half years ago while studying film at the University of Kansas. What instantly bonded the two entrepreneurs was their love for creating and sharing music. It wasn't long after their meeting that Team Bear Club was founded through its own branded dance parties in downtown Lawrence.
What Team Bear Club event would you enjoy the most? If you're not familiar with the types of events the group puts on, you're in for a treat.
The cool thing about Team Bear Club is the diversity in the parties it throws and the music it plays. Catering to their audience is a must, so Team Bear Club created four distinct events for people to attend based on the music they enjoy.
Mingle is a monthly event held at the Eighth Street Taproom, located on the corner of Eighth St. and New Hampshire Street. "Mingle is Tom and I's party; it's the foundation for what we do. The vibe is just perfect," Canty says. "It's definitely our hood party. We play super grimy rap; it's what we want to hear and for whatever reason, hipsters are really into it."
Josie McCoy, a senior from Overland Park, describes Team Bear Club as "dope" and attends Mingle events at the Taproom. "That space is so small and everyone gets so into it,
A music and marketing mash-up taking over Lawrence's nightlife
it's ridiculous. You never really know who is going to show up but you always know your going to have a good time," McCoy says.
Dirty Dirty Dirty is Reggie Smith and Tomo Mizuno's party, two other Team Bear Club DJs. These parties are held at The Granada on 1020 Massachusetts St. and it's a chance for Bear Club to cater to people who love electronic music.
Jon Urban, an alumnus from Garden City first attended Dirty Dirty Dirty a little over a year ago. "Bear Club attracts everybody that likes to break it down.I enjoy the vibes,the tunes,the people," Urban says.Urban also enjoys the antics of Tyler Waugh,a Bear Club photographer. "Tyler is always running around bringing the hype. Good times all around."
Another Team Bear Club party is Blasian, a weekly event held at The Jackpot Music Hall on 943 Massachusetts St. every Thursday. "Once Neon died, we decided we should get on that. I mean, people want to go out on Thursday nights," founder Phil Canty says. So Team Bear Club took Blasian and practically replaced Neon, which was a weekly event held at The
Jackpot on Thursdays up until a few years ago. "Dirty Dirty Dirty and Blasian are great outlets for people 18 and older who can't participate in Mingle," Lindner says. "We want freshmen to be able to come out too."
For students who live in the Kansas City area, you can find Team Bear Club at the Union in Westport. They call this party "Swag." "It's like the Cave mixed with the Taproom," Canty says, and Lindner describes it as a basement with a nice patio. Although this event isn't held on a regular basis, whenever Swag happens, both Canty and Linder say it's always packed.
As Team Bear Club continues to expand geographically and grow as a brand, more events will be produced under the brand. Last month, for example, Team Bear Club hosted a spelling bee, which included students and members of the Lawrence community, at The Jackpot on a Monday night. According to Canty and Lindner, the turnout was great and they plan on hosting more in the near future.
Upcoming Events
Bear Club events happen every week in Lawrence. Check out their upcoming events and make plans to Mingle or get Dirty Dirty Dirty;
Nov 18: MINGLE 22 with Tom Richman + MORRI$ at The Eighth Street Taproom ($3, 21+)
Every Thursday: BLASIAN at The Jackpot, ($3, 18+)

MOVIE REVIEW // PUSS IN BOOTS >Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
DreamWorks is back again with its newest twist on fairytales. With his alluring Spanish accent, Antonio Banderas is the famous Puss in Boots, who is always ready for an adventure. As college students, we might be past the age of the target audience for "Puss in Boots," but one can't resist the cute character in this spin-off of the ever-popular "Shrek" movies.
The movie starts with a slow comedic introduction with Puss always running from the law, throwing back shots of milk and leaving feline females falling to his feet. The movie really picks up speed when we get a glimpse of Puss' past.
Although its animation was intriguingly beautiful, the script lacked charismatic charm to reel you in completely. There are enough
Old fairytales blend together to create his newest adventure where we meet Puss' partner in crime, Humpty Dumpty, played by Zach Galifianakis, and Puss' love interest, Kitty Softpaws, played by Salma Hayek. The trio must face off against the villainous couple, Jack and Jill, in the quest of the legendary magic beans, which sprouts the magic beanstalk to the giant's castle.
one-liners to keep you entertained, but this movie isn't likely going to end up on your movie shelf in the future.

For students in Dr. Dennis Dailey's course "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life," eyeballing six-foot photographs of penises and vaginas is simply a method to understand the human body.
The exercise's objective, according to Dailey, professor Emeritus of the University's School of Social Welfare, is to normalize and desensitize attitudes about the human body.
"People — particularly women because they are so objectified in our culture — become detached from their bodies. They don't understand their bodies and they don't live with them graciously," he said. "If you see enough bodies, you see enough genitals, all of a sudden it will occur to you
— in the general flow of things — there's nothing wrong with it”
Dalley's non-credit 10-week course on human sexuality, which begins next semester at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., examines a variety of topics, ranging from human physiology and anatomy to masturbation.
The course, organized by the University's Sexuality Education Committee, opens with an indepth conceptualization and definition of human sexuality. Dailey
said that he encourages his students to share their personal experiences in class discussion and that no topic is taboo.
Ali Free, a junior from Blue Springs, Mo., and co-coordinator of the University's Sexuality Education Committee, said that the course offers students and the Lawrence community valuable lessons for couples in relationships.
"Trial and error works, but it's not very efficient and it causes so much pain," she said. "He addresses a lot of the underlying issues that plague a lot of relationships."
Dailey taught his course on human sexuality at the University for more than 30 years, attracting hundreds of students to enroll in the class each semester. However, the course encountered controversy throughout its history at the University, including protests from the Westboro Baptist Church.
In 2003, Kansas Sen. Susan Wagle alleged that Dailey's course was obscene and that students experienced sexual harassment, according to University documents. But after an investigation conducted by former University Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor David Shulenburger, Sen. Wagle were deemed

Moving with grace and precision across a stage is no easy feat. Learning and practicing several complex routines while going to classes, working and trying to have a social life makes it an even tougher achievement, but the University Dance Company made three months of hard work look real as they performed on the Lied Center stage last night.
The University Dance Company is a student organization run through the dance department. Students began preparing for this performance at the beginning of the semester and have been working on each piece for three to four hours per week, said dance company president Libby Ingram, a senior from Tulsa, Okla.
"I'm in four of the pieces and its a really great concert this semester just because there's a really large variety," Ingram said. "In terms of style, there is a vast range."
Several different types of ballet were represented as well as modern dance and moments of jazz, step and folk dancing. Music pieces ranged from polka to Celtic, delivering climactic crescendos and eerily quiet passages. One dance, "And Now," did not include any music at all.
"It was interesting," said Halley Laskey, a sophomore from Gray-slake, lll. "I feel like you would have to have good time and pay attention to your surroundings since there is no music. It was different."
Presenting something different to both the audience and the dancers was one of the goals of the performance.
Jerel Hilding, assistant professor and associate chair of dance, choreographed two of the show's pieces and said he tried to use his years of professional experience to introduce dancers to a style of ballet that they might not normally learn.
and broaden our technique and capabilities. And we get to perform at such a prestigious facility, the Lied Center."
Dancers also got the opportunity to work with guest choreographers such as Jennifer Hart and Janet Charleston, as well as faculty members Muriel Cohan and Willie Lenoir.
Less serious students of dance enjoyed seeing the works of their professors take center stage.
Hilding said there were other benefits, too.
For members of the University Dance Company, performing in the group provides valuable experience and performing opportunities.
"The University Dance Company is such a great outlet for undergraduate dancers." Ingram said. "It's an opportunity to learn a lot
"It's a way to develop more of a mentorship with the students," Hilding said.
"He's my dance instructor," said Cassie Benedict, a sophomore from Bennington, Ill., after watching a routine choreographed by her jazz teacher, Lenoir. "His piece had the most energy."
The University Dance Company will hold an encore performance tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center. The cost is $10 for students and faculty.

ROME
Against the backdrop of anti-austerity protesters clashing with riot police, Italy's new premier appealed to Italians on Thursday to accept sacrifices to save their country from bankruptcy, but pledged economic growth and greater social cohesion in return.
Mario Monti is under enormous pressure to boost growth and bring down Italy's high debt, not only to save Italy from succumbing to the debt crisis but to prevent a catastrophic disintegration of the common euro currency.
"Europe is experiencing the most difficult days since the end of the Second World War," Monti told parliament in his debut address. "Let's not fool ourselves, honored senators, that the European project can survive if the monetary union fails."
CAIRO
A female activist who posted nude pictures of herself on her blog to protest limits on free expression has triggered an uproar in Egypt, drawing condemnations from conservatives and liberals alike.
Some liberals feared that the posting by 20-year-old university student Aliaa Magda Elmahdy would taint them in the eyes of deeply conservative Egyptians ahead of Nov. 28 parliamentary elections in which they are trying to compete with fundamentalist Islamic parties.
Nudity is strongly frowned upon in Egyptian society, even as an art form. Elmahdy's posting is almost unheard of in a country where most women in the Muslim majority wear the headscarf and even those who don't rarely wear clothes exposing the arms or legs in public.
JERUSALEM
Israel has identified eastern Africa as an important strategic interest and is stepping up ties with nations in the region in a joint effort to control the spread of Islamic extremists, officials said Thursday.
In effect, Israel would become a player siding with Christian-led African nations in conflicts with Muslim movements, a fault line that has sharpened around the continent in recent years.
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, hosted the leaders of Uganda and Kenya earlier this week, following a meeting at the United Nations in September with the president of the newly liberated South Sudan, the mainly Christian and animentist nation that gained independence from Muslim Arab-led Sudan in July.
MOSCOW
Russia is facing a heightened risk of being drawn into conflicts at its borders that have the potential of turning nuclear, the nation's top military officer said Thursday.
Gen. Nikolai Makarov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, cautioned over NATO's expansion eastward and warned that the risks of Russia being pulled into local conflicts have "risen sharply."
Makarov added, according to Russian news agencies, that "under certain conditions local and regional conflicts may develop into a full-scale war involving nuclear weapons."
A steady decline in Russia's conventional forces has prompted the Kremlin to rely increasingly on its nuclear deterrent.

Annual donation drive "Toys for Tots" begins
Dolls, trucks, Pillow Pets and action figures are just a few of the toys that have already been donated to Toys for Tots in Lawrence so far.
The national campaign is designed to help families that can't provide presents for children this holiday season.
Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union Programs said that helping families at this time of the year is important to her.
"A mom or dad is going to get to come through and pick out toys that they think are great for their kid," she said. "And they get to spend so much time at different areas picking out not just one toy, but a couple toys to really make their holiday special."
Train cards with present ideas, gender and ages on them are located on drop-off locations on campus at Mrs. E's Dining Hall, the Kansas Union
lobby. Anschutz Library and the Ambler Student Recreation Center.
Students who participate take trains off the walls and donate a present suited for the age range printed on the card. In December, all the gifts will be sent to a store at Sixth and Wakaraus streets to be distributed to those in need.
Douglas County Toyts for Tots coordinator Mary Jones said the campaign is about helping families come together.
"If somebody comes to us and gives toys, maybe that'll take a little burden off and they can then pay their rent or not have to worry about their kid not having anything," she said. "We think all children should have a Christmas."
To donate a gift, visit the toys for Tots website at www.toysfortots.org to find a drop-off location near you.

POLITICS
Blue Dog Democrats are headed toward extinction
WASHINGTON — Republicans have listed North Carolina's Blue Dog Democrats as an endangered species, but Reps Heath Shuler and Mike McIntyre say they have some bite left in them.
Under a Republican redistricting plan approved this month by the U.S. Justice Department, the two moderate Democrats are on the short list of the most vulnerable members of Congress in the 2012 elections. Republicans, who refer to the pair as "Obama's lapdogs," are investing heavily in the races and see North Carolina as ground zero in their efforts to increase their House of Representatives majority.
A loss by either man would further deteriorate the conservative Southern wing of the national Democratic Party, as moderates in both parties are being dr-iven toward extinction. The once-powerful Blue Dog Coalition is down to 26 members and stands to be cut in half again in 2012. So far, four members have announced they will not run for re-election.
The moderates' demise comes at a time when Congress is plagued by historically low approval ratings and voters are calling for an end to partisan bickering.
Edwin Grant, a Republican who voted for Shuler, said he was frustrated with the
"Everyone seems to be worried about their own agenda instead of doing the right thing," said Grant, 48, who lives in the mountain community of Franklin. "You got Democrats on one side and Republicans on the other. There is no common ground in the middle. It's always a battle to the last minute before they do the right thing."
The former game warden said he has voted for Republicans like John McCain for president and also Democrats like Gov. Bev Perdue. He said he'd like his leaders to do the same: be independent and not toe the party line.
vitriol in Washington.
It's a sentiment shared by some members of Congress as well.
"Compromise is not a dirty word," said Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., a fellow Blue Dog. "You diminish the Blue Dog members, and you let the crazies on the left and the right take over, and that's not good for anybody."
The Blue Dogs were formed in 1955 after sweeping Republican victories in Congress to give more-conservative members in the Democratic Party a unified voice. The name was chosen because members said they felt "coked blue" by the extremes in both parties.

CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
Robert Kaplan (right), Kansas alumnus and former Vice Chairman of The Goldman Sachs Groups, Inc. discusses his experiences in business as well as the fundamentals of leadership and his new book, "What to Ask the Person in the Mirror," with Director of the Dole Institute of Politics Bill Lacy Thursday night. Students were given a free copy of the book with a valid student ID. A question and answer session followed the discussion.
said. "For me restoring the middle class in this country should be job No. 1, I think it's directly related to the unemployment situation and the housing crisis."
Kaplan received a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University and graduated in 1979. After receiving an MBA from Harvard in 1983, Kaplan was hired at Goldman Sachs, Inc., where he served multiple roles, including global co-head of the investment banking division between 1999 and 2002.
Goldman Sachs was among several firms to accept government bailout money in 2008. In July 2011, the firm agreed to pay $550
million to settle fraud charges with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, conducted an open interview with Kaplan. Lacy said that Kaplan's book is a useful tool in developing management skills.
"It's a great opportunity for business students and any students who are interested in leadership concepts and tools to be better leaders," Lacey said.
The University's School of Business and Jewish Business Club cosponsored the event. Lacy said the Dole Institute of Politics financed Kaplan's traveling and lodging expenses.
Warren Buchholtz, a junior from Huntington, N.Y., attended Kaplan's lecture and said he thinks he can use some of Kaplan's leadership advice in his future career.
"It was good to get to hear someone who's had so much experience and success in the field, to hear their point of view on things," he said. "Even if you're not a business student you can apply the idea that you can look not for answers, but to ask right questions it can apply to anything you want to succeed in."

Files of medical records stolen four million people affected
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The theft of a computer containing information on more than 4 million patients of a major Northern California health care provider may be among the largest breaches of health care data in recent years, but it's far from the only incident of its kind.
Over the last two years, health care organizations have reported 364 incidents involving the loss or theft of information ranging from names and addresses to social security numbers and medical diagnoses on nearly 18 million patients equivalent to the population of Florida.
A thief stole medical information on more than 4 million patients of Sacramento-based Sutter Health last month by the simple act of breaking a window with a rock at the affiliated Sutter Medical Foundation. Stolen over the weekend of Oct. 15 were monitors, keyboards and a desktop computer containing patient information dating to 1995.
Employees reported the theft to Sacramento police when they returned to work that Monday, Oct. 17, said Sgt. Andrew Pettit, though they didn't notify the public until Wednesday, a month later. The company said in announcing the theft Wednesday that some patients might not receive mailed notices until early next month.
to make sure that that doesn't happen." Pettit said.
Police were investigating the burglary as a routine smash-and-grab property theft, he said, and so far there is no indication that the information in the computer has been used.
"If that machine is that valuable, then there should be more security measures where that is protected. There's got to be something in place
Since federal health care data breach notification rules took effect in 2009, Health and Human Services records show that the Sutter theft was exceeded only when the U.S. military's health insurance program lost backup tapes in September containing information on more than 4.9 million patients.
While Sutter said the computer was password-protected, the data on patients was not encrypted, drawing criticism from privacy and computer security experts.

establish relationships with universities in Latin America and eventually created the Center for Latin American Studies.
Zach O'Bea, a junior from Leavenworth, said having a Latin American Studies major is very laid back. There is no set curriculum, so students can choose to study whatever aspect of Latin American culture interests them. O'Bea studies the politics of Latin American countries and Portuguese, and hopes to continue this passion after college.
The events on Friday and Saturday include speeches from well-known professors, government officials and business people who are involved with or know a lot about Latin American culture. There are also speakers traveling from Latin American countries to help the center celebrate its anniversary.
"I've always been interested in Latin America and I have a lot of friends who live there," O'Bea said. "My family and I have been to Argentina to visit friends many times, and I wanted a major that would allow me to learn more about the region and hopefully get a job that would let me travel there more."
"A lot of students study Spanish and they don't ever think of getting a degree in Latin American Studies at the same time." Herzfeld said.
Herzfeld said the Center for Latin American Studies offers learning opportunities to many students at the University, even if they don't realize it.

Herzfeld said she hopes the various speeches and celebrations this weekend help promote the Center to students who might not already know about it, and to also recognize the people who started it and the accomplishments of the past 50 years.

Lincoln High School teacher Heidi Kaeslin is on paid leave while the district investigates whether she violated its code of ethics, The Stockton Record reported.
STOCKTON, Calif. — A high school teacher is under investigation after school officials said she was maintaining a pornographic website from her school-issued laptop computer.
Teacher investigated for pornographic website
The investigation also involves former Stockton police officer Richard Fields, who was assigned to the school as a resource officer. He told the newspaper he
had acquired domain names including
mysluttyteachers.com to develop them
into websites.
Fields said Kaesin's involvement was limited, and he eventually abandoned the venture.
The newspaper reports that one of the websites was active for only one day in February, which could indicate a test run.
Fields said the allegations are overblown. Kaeslin and her attorney declined to comment.
Kaeslin, a special education teacher and former girls soccer coach, has been with the district since 2002. Fields retired from the police department in May. The
two are romantically linked, according to the paper.
Lincoln Unified School District has hired a computer expert to study the content on the laptop.
Chet Quade, an attorney representing the district, said the school adopted an ethics code in 2003.
The code calls for teachers to "adhere to the highest ethical standards" and "to attain and maintain the highest possible degree of ethical conduct," he told the newspaper.

"I's a surreal thing to undertake, doing a tribute to our brother Ryan's life," Knoxville said in a statement. "I still can't believe he's gone, but we wouldn't trust anyone else with this, so we are doing the best we can for Ryan, his family, friends, and everyone who loved him," Knoxville said.
LOS ANGELES — MTV will air a one-hour series in tribute to Ryan Dunn, who died in a car accident in June.
ELSEWHERE
The special, which will air Nov. 28, gives viewers a look at Dunn's life from his early years in Ohio to his rise as one of the stars of "Jackass" to his death and feature interviews with Johnny Knoxville, Rob Dyrdek, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Jeff Tremaine and Bam Margera, among others.
Never-before-seen video from Dunn's days on "Viva LA Bam" and "lackass" will also be shown
Before the "Ryan Dunn Tribute Special" — which is produced by Tremaine, Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Derek Freda — MTV will air a new episode of "Ridiculousness", which guest stars Dunn in one of his final TV appearances.

Perhaps sensing that this randomness is a problem, "Happy Feet Two" begins with a mission statement that sounds suspiciously like an apology for a lack of focus: "Everything in this world, no matter how big, no
David Carpenter
Instead "Happy Feet Two" hopes the things it does well — like making all those penguins dance with as much precision as the Rockettes — will encourage audiences to overlook how random and haphazard its narrative is, the way it joits along from one episode to the next without providing anything that ties the pieces together.

'Happy Feet Two' has two left feet
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — It's hard to resist dancing penguins, but "Happy Feet Two" may make you want to try. Though it features tens of thousands of Antarctic types toe-tapping their way across the screen, it doesn't have a clear idea of what else it wants them to do.
George Miller returns to direct and co-write the sequel to "Happy Feet," but the clean, focused story line of a penguin born to dance that won the first film the best animated feature Oscar in 2006 has not found its equal here.
Returning to the sequel from the first film is Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood), the misunderstood penguin who danced when all the others sang. Now he and mate Gloria (Alecia Moore, otherwise known as Pink) are parents themselves, and Mumble has to deal with Erik (Ava Acres), a tiny son who has self-expression problems similar to his dad's.
Back as well is Ramon (Robin Williams), the amorously inclined Adelie penguin who has been spending time with Mumble and his fellow emperors. Fed up with his romantic prospects, he decides to return home, unaware that Erik and two pals are going to tag along for the ride.

FOOD AND DRINK
Coffee is inescapable in our culture
Around 50 percent of the adult population of the United States drinks coffee regularly, according to the National Coffee Association. I count myself among the most religiously-addicted coffee drinkers of the population; somewhere along the line of my college education, being a full-time student and working around 30 hours a week instilled enough curiosity in me to eventually try it out, and my need for a daily caffeine fix was born.
The fact that I even tried coffee in the first place points to something larger in our culture. I saw others drinking it and heard how others see it as a studying savior. In terms of these drinkers, there are ritual drinkers who need those cups to get through their day
(I'm beginning to become one of them), but there are also drinkers who drink just to join the party. Coffee has clearly carved out a large portion of the population and nabs more and more people every day.
By Brett Salsbury
bsalsbury@kansan.com
The ready availability of coffee shops and the frequency by which we visit them also points to this larger trend. Think about the last time you were asked by a friend if you wanted to go grab a cup of coffee and catch up, or chose a study location on campus or downtown only because there was a barista within reach. If you name off the top ten places to study in Lawrence, you'd be hard-pressed to find one that isn't blessed by the coffee fairy. Why has this crutch
become so popular in our culture?
I have some friends who will only drink it cold, and others who prefer it as steamy as possible. Then, I have certain friends who barely even like coffee, yet still drink it anyway. I would compare it with watching a certain TV
show just because of its extreme popularity with friends (Jersey Shore, anyone?). As social beings, we don't want to be left out, and we'll watch something that we don't enjoy just because we want to be a part of the conversation.
Once something takes root in a certain culture and manages to retain popularity over a sustained period of time, it becomes standard and changes at a very slow pace. We see this not only with TV shows, but with legislation and current fashions. Prolonged change is difficult.
Because of how our culture is structured, coffee's essential spot won't be broken anytime soon: Rough work hours and the amount of schoolwork to be accomplished
breeds the need for a cup of Joe.
But wait, coffee costs money? Well,
thankfully you have a job.
Coffee isn't going anywhere. Coffee will live for ages in shops, grocery stores, your kitchen counter, and as a necessary accessory to the fabric of your day. It isn't a fad like certain drinks of choice and other material objects. Its hold on us has led it to be a cultural staple, no matter if we prefer it black, iced, as watered down as possible, or, dare I say it, not at all.

MUSIC
Bringing back memories through old CD collection
You can say I'm a music nerd; my iTunes library holds 19,369 songs from 1,624 albums by 622 artists. Music is pretty much my life. I was once called out of school my freshman year of high school to take care of a "downloading problem" that Cox Communications had with my family's internet connection. Cox must have realized that I was downloading some music illegally. But of those 1,624 albums, not all of them were downloaded illegally — I have at least 40 of them in my closet on compact disc. I end up buying the CDs that I listen to most.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
When I decided that I was bored with the CDs in my car, I dove into this box in my closet of my apartment to switch up the music I was listening to. I practically had a heart attack of nostalgia for this music and the memories they brought up. I wanted to listen to all these different bands at the exact same time. Once I realized that the human brain can't possibly endure such a concept of enjoyment, I was deeply saddened. The problem with having so much music is that most of it gets forgotten.
My real sadness came from the realization that these CDs are more like a yearbook. Every
CD points back to a different phase of my life. I was once told that smell was the strongest sense attached to memory, but the sound of these songs threw me through a memory tumble.
When I listen to my Led Zeppelin CDs, I think back to my middle school years when I started making my own decisions on the music I listened to, no matter how badly MTV wanted me to listen to 50 Cent. I hear a song by Thrice and I remember my freshman year of high school and a friend changing my perspective of "emo" music.
I started to freak out and search through this box and play songs that seemed to have a serious impact on my life. The Devil Wears Prada's first album changed my belief in music that used screaming vocals instead of singing. When I look at my 3OH13 CD, I remember breaking my nose at Warped Tour
while watching them perform, and how all the hipsters had decided they weren't cool any more because they had "sold-out." Hearing songs by Story of the Year that takes me back to the days of driving around the country roads that surround the Greater Wichita Area.
It just seems crazy to me that songs about so many different subjects can sum up my life. How songs of immigration ("Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin), punk life ("Fat Lip" by Sum 41), dealing with heartbreak ("Nothing In My Way" by Keane), dog collars ("Choke Chain" by 3OH13), or straight-edge anthems ("Still Here" by H2O) mean more about my life than they do as stories in songs.
After finishing the switch up for my car stereo, I packed up the CDs and put them back in the closet. They will have to wait for another day of heart attacks of nostalgia. I may not use them much, but these hard copies of the music I love mean more than just stories.
But for now, the memories of my life live in a box in my closet.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Check your facts on the Confederates
I was disappointed and dismayed to read Lou Schumaker's "Confederacy" article today. The article was filled with historical inaccuracies and clear cut prejudice. In the article, Mr. Schumaker slanders the Confederate South as nothing more than "slavery-loving traitors." He completely ignores the (inconvenient) fact that the Confederate Army was made up of poor, slaveless subsistence farmers, and not rich plantation owners. He also seems to forget that the Civil War started over a fear of protective tariffs destroying the Southern economy, not of their slaves being freed. Lincoln himself said throughout his campaign and up to the early days of his presidency that he had no intention of freeing the slaves. In fact, Lincoln didn't even consider the slaves until mid-1862, a full year into the war. Furthermore, the only reason the Emancipation Proclamation was issued was to damage the south's credibility and cripple its economy. Some of the most fervent abolitionists: William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, and even Lincoln were opposed
to the idea and immorality of slavery, but, as most Americans were at the time, were very racist. Most abolitionists wanted to free the slaves in order to send them back to Africa, not to give them equal rights. Mr. Schumaker complains about the positive portrayal of Confederate Southerners in TV and film, yet seems to forget that we are taught from elementary school up that the sininess North crusaded against the evil slave-owning South, and emerged victorious. The history books teach us this, yet Schumaker seems to think that we are all being brainwashed into believing the opposite. I find this insulting on many levels. First, he completely ignores history in favor of his prejudiced view. Second, he seems to believe that our generation is made up of complete idiots that are being fooled into believing the opposite of his view of the Civil War. I ask that the editor please consider favoring the truth over opinion next time.

KANSAS 2-8
STARTING LINEUP
The Kansas offense showed some life for the first time in its last two games, after scoring 30-points against a lowly Baylor defense. After scoring 17 first-half points, the Jayhawks could only muster 7 in the second half, helping Kansas blow its 21-point, fourth quarter lead. The offense goes as the run game goes, so Kansas will have to hope for a big ground performance against a stout Texas A&M rush defense that ranks 20th in the nation.

AT A GLANCE
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Sophomore punter Ronnie Doherty assumed the role of field goal kicker in the Baylor game, sinking a 37-yard attempt early for the Jayhawks' first score. Freshman Alex Mueller, who was pulled from the role against Iowa State, continued to kick point-after attempts, and Gill has said nothing about whether that will change or not.
---
Coming off a devastating 31-30 overtime loss to the Baylor Bears, the Jayhawks missed their best chance at taking a Big 12 game. It doesn't get any easier for Kansas now, with its two remaining games against Texas A&M and Missouri. Traveling to one of the best football stadiums in the country in Kyle Field, the Jayhawks will have their hands full. With Turner Gill's future in question, the Kansas football team doesn't have anything going for it right now, and there will have to be an extreme reverse in fortune to come away with a win this week.
COACHING
Doherty
SPECIAL TEAMS
At this point, Turner Gill cannot catch a break. His team took a 21-point lead into the fourth quarter and decided to hand the game over to its opponent. Mixed in with two questionable calls that changed the nature of the game, the ball just did not fall Gill's way. Now 5-17 in his two years at Kansas, Gill and most of his staff could very easily not be returning to Lawrence next season.
Currently the team's second leading tackler, junior safety Bradley McDougald has emerged as a defensive leader this season. He's recorded double-digit tackles in the layhawks' last three games all games in which Gill said the defense was a positive aspect. Senior linebacker Steven Johnson said that when McDougald plays well, the entire defense plays well around him, so he'll have to have a big-time performance Saturday.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Gill
MOMENTUM
Giving up 21 points in the fourth quarter and losing by one point in overtime to Baylor would normally be a crushing blow to any college football team. But this Kansas team has taken hit after hit and gotten back up and played hard every week. The Jayhawks don't have any momentum, but they're used to that at this point.
QUESTION MARKS
prove himself on the road?
Can GIL
With his uncertain future, this may be Gill's last shot at getting a road win while he's at Kansas. While the Jayhawks last road game was a three-point loss to Iowa State, the next closest road game for Kansas was a 42-point, blowout loss at Georgia Tech suffered early in the season. Gill will have the chance to prove that Iowa State was no fluke if his team performs well. The only problem is that Kyle Field may be the toughest venue in the Big 12.
49-21, TEEX
3
The rushing attack has a successful day against A&M's tough run defense. Freshman running back Darrian Miller had 147 rushing yards against Baylor and the Kansas offense scored the most it had in its last six games. If the environment at Kyle Field doesn't throw the team out of whack and the defense plays like it has the last two games, Kansas will once again have a shot to win its first Big 12 game of the season. A lot of "ifs" there.

The Jayhawks run offense gets stopped by the Aggie defense, forcing the Jayhawks into third and long situations that they do not convert. With the offense not moving, the Jayhawks will get run out of College Station faster than the Aggies can leave for the SEC.

For the second consecutive week, the Jayhawks' opponent will become bowl eligible with a win. The Aggies look to end their three-game losing streak and earn a trip to their 33rd bowl game.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Sherman
F. R. B.
COACHING
Senior kicker Randy Bullock has been solid for the Aggies this season, making 20 of his 24 field goal attempts, including 9-11 from 40 yards or more and a long of 47. Bullock has a career long of 50, made in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
MOMENTUM
Coach Mike Sherman is in his fourth year as coach of the Aggies after previously serving as coach of the Green Bay Packers for six seasons. In 2010 he took the Aggies to a 9-4 record and claimed a share of the Big 12 South title, but has come under fire after a 5-5 start this season that kept his total record as the Aggies coach at 24-24.
The Aggies are hurting for a win after dropping three consecutive games. Their last loss was especially heart-breaking, as they fell in the fourth overtime to Kansas State.
TEXAS A&M 5-5
STARTING LINEUP

The Aggies are on a three game losing streak, and coach Mike Sherman could find his seat burning up should the Aggies fall to the Jayhawks this week.
The Red Raiders have not been competitive with anyone since upsetting the Sooners. Part of the problem is that Seth Doege has thrown only two touchdowns in the last three games.

ARREST
Missouri coach arrested on drunk driving charge
The Boone County Sheriff's Office stated that deputies arrested University of Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel Wednesday night in Columbia, Mo., after he drove while intoxicated.
On Thursday, Missouri suspended Pinkel for Saturday's game against Texas Tech — the school's final home game of the season — and stalled his salary for a year. The school's actions approximate to $306,000 in penalties and 50 hours of community service. Pinkel will no longer receive a $75,000 bonus if his team reaches a bowl game, a $100,000 payment for team academic and social standards or a $50,000 raise.
In a written statement, Pinkel accepted full responsibility and the terms of the suspension.
"Everyone is held accountable in our program for their actions, and I'm no different," he said.
MURDERED AT HOME. NO FOUND.

Syracuse police look into coaching sex scandal
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Just two weeks after Penn State was rocked by a child sex scandal, ESPN reported Thursday that police were investigating an assistant basketball coach at Syracuse University on
INVESTIGATION

allegations of child molestaation.
Shortly afterward, Syracuse placed longtime assistant coach Bernie Fine on administrative leave "in light of
the new allegations and the Syracuse City Police investigation," the school said.
Sgt. Tom Connellan told The Post-Standard that police received information on the case Thursday but would not say who provided the information.
ESPN reported that Fine is accused of molesting a former Syracuse ball boy, who is now 39. The alleged victim told ESPN the abuse occurred at Fine's home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four.
Fine is in his 35th season as an assistant to coach Jim Boeheim
Phone calls by The Associated Press to the police were not immediately returned.

MORNING BREW
Editor's note: Just to clarify — this is a hypothetical situation and not an actual press conference.
Throngs of nosy know-it-alls who call themselves reporters lined the walls of a sweaty high school gym in a
By Max Rothman
mrothman@kansan.com
themselves reporters lined the walls of a sweaty high school gym in a midwestern town that boasts only one star. His name is I.O. Gimpson and he is the infallible running back with legs chiseled by Zeus and a stiff arm that could halt a freighter.
"I want to thank everyone for coming today for J.O," Gimpson said in his usual third-person address.
He sat behind a wide table topped with a cloth of his school's royal purple but his omnipotence couldn't hide.
"J.O.'s got a hard decision today," Gimspon said, as reporters inched toward the table with ears agape and pens ready to dance. "J.O. just wants to make the best choice for J.O.'s family and J.O."
Gimspon called a press conference to announce the school of his choice; an institution that would toss a full-ride scholarship at his feet so he could run over defenses with the school's name on the front of his jersey. The conference was televised on every sane
news station and hyped much like LeBron James' decision to take his three quarters per game of talent to South Beach.
"Before Mr. Gimpson makes his decision, the floor is open to questions," a media athletics comrade said.
"J.O," said a slimeball from a skyscraper paper. "What's the most important part of this decision?"
Silence fell upon the sweaty high school gym. The once bustling reporters sat dumb-founded and afraid to speak up. A colossal reporter from the Opera Sporting News crashed to the floor with a faltsetto bellow.
"J.O. wants to get paid."
Then another reporter in the back of the gym challenged this view.
"Get paid, J.O.? College athletes shouldn't be paid. You will be a student-athlete next year, not a professional one."
"J.O. deserves the money for J.O.'s family and J.O."
The same reporter fired back.
"Shouldn't the money be for the school you choose? Why do you deserve it?"
A smile curled up on Gimpson's face before he responded to the questions. It was the same smile he snuck under his helmet for each of his 38 rushing touchdowns this past season.
"J.O. runs with the football, not you, your uncle or any athletic director," Gimpson said. "J.O. fills up the stands with students and alumni. And because of J.O., those same alumni buy your stadium hot dogs and soda, then spill dollars on your floor so J.O. can run behind the finest blockers on a perfectly illuminated Astaroturf Mecca."
KU
The crowd of reporters didn't know what to do except keep asking questions.
"In't this wrong J.O.? What makes you so special?" said another reporter.
"J.O. knows how to run the football."
Gimpson said. "Have you not been paying attention? It's gonna be J.O. on the cover of your video games. Below the name of your school, J.O.'s number will sit on the front of your best-selling jersey. J.O. will be a full-time student and a full-time football player at once. So where's the paper?"
Gimpson reached for a hat, just one of the hats from whatever school, and fit it cleanly on his head. He would run all day, score and score as he always has, then get his money.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI'S FOOTBALL COACH GARY PINKEL ARRESTED FOR DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED PAGE 8
MATCHUP MAYHEM
By Matt Galloway
mattgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/themattgalloway
At some point during the Kansas men's basketball team's 75-65 loss to the No.2 Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday night, Markieff Morris had seen enough.
No, not of the No. 14 Jayhawks, but of the tweets he was bombarded with during the team's first loss of the season.
"Stop wit the wish y'all was playing tweets," Markieff wrote on his Twitter account, @keefmorris. "We not playing just root our boys on keep faith."
His twin brother Marcus is fed up, too.
"One more thing ... Lock out or no lock out WE STILL would have LEFT FOR THE DRAFT", Marcus tweeted on Monday from his account, @mookmorris2.
Edited by Mandy Matney
BRING ON THE NOISE
The Morrii are right. To steal a line from Louisville Cardinals coach Rick Pitino, the Morris twins aren't walking through that door, fans'. And while they wouldn't exactly be gray and old if they did, it's time for Kansas fans to move on. Because if their Twitter accounts are any indication, the Morris twins moved on a long, long time ago.
Make no mistake, that doesn't soften the blow of their departure that many Kansas fans are obviously still trying to cope with. The fact that the Jayhawks were out-rebounded by lowly Towson in their season opener on Nov. 11 probably didn't help matters much either. And getting out-rebounded again by the a blatantly superior Kentucky squad on Tuesday had fans shoving each other over to get to the panic button. But it's time to stop thinking about what could have been if the No. 13 and 14 picks in this year's NBA draft started for just one more year.
Trust me, as a Kansas City Chiefs follower, I can sympatize with fans who clamor for players no longer playing for the team. I wish Jamaal Charles was still around. I wish Eric Berry was still around. I wish Thomas Jones was still around. (OK, that last guy isn't hurt, but my point stands.)
Desperation is a bad look for any fan base, especially for one as storied as Kansas.
The Morris twins chose the uncertain waters of the No Basketball Association (NBA) over a senior season and a legitimate shot at a national championship at Kansas, and it's time to respect that decision and stop harassing, chastising and begging the brothers about it.
The Chiefs lost their best player on defense and on offense in the first two weeks of the season. The team has been an eyesore to watch ever since. But hopelessly wishing the players could pull a Lazarus and magically heal their season-ending injuries is foolish. And so is sending patronizing, 140 characters-or-less messages to two of the best basketball players in Kansas history.

Coach Turner Gill yells angrily at one of the referees for a bad call against Kansas during the game at Memorial Stadium last Saturday against Baylor. Kansas will travel to College Station, Texas this week to play Texas A&M.
JESSICA IANASZ/KANSAN
MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
Just 10 seconds into talking about the atmosphere at Texas A&M's well-respected football stadium Kyle Field, Kansas offensive coordinator Chuck Long stopped himself. He shouted a simple request across the room to the director of football operations George Matsakis.
"By the way George, we need a noise-maker by Thursday," Long said.
While the lajhawks have used noise in practice before, they may have never had to use their machine like this. The Texas A&M fans refer to themselves as the 12th man. The words "Home of the 12th Man" are forever cemented into the stadium across its upper deck.
When Turner Gill was an assistant coach at Nebraska, he was up in the press box to experience the famous event that occurs during every home game at Kyle Field. He said what he remembers about Kyle Field was the press box shaking during the Aggies chants and cheers.
The widely reported story in College Station is that during the Texas A&M fight song, the "Aggie War Hymn," the press box sways as each individual row of the crowd sways right and left, arm-in-arm, during portions of the song.
And word has spread from the coaches to the Kansas players about the noise factor they'll be facing on Saturday.
Senior defensive tackle Pat Dorsey, along with the majority of the Kansas team, has never been to Kyle Field before. Long said the atmosphere is one of the best in college football. Dorsey and the Jayahwks are well aware of the challenge ahead.
Dorsey said that the team just has to be together and hold each other down in an environment like that. Being from Houston,
Dorsey is well aware of the Aggies large fan base. On Saturday, he'll be playing in a stadium that normally sells out at a capacity of 83,002.
"It ranks up there, playing in College Station," Dorsey said. "It'll be a big deal for me."
One player who witnessed a game at Kyle Field is senior center Jeremiah Hatch. Hatch traveled, but did not play against Texas A&M in 2007 because he was a redshirt his feshman year.
In that game, the Jayhawks traveled to Kyle Field and beat the Aggies 19-11 for their first ever win in College Station. The game was played on national television at night and the environment is one that Hatch clearly remembers.
"It was a football atmosphere, it's what you want," Hatch said. "You couldn't hear anything."
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb will have to be the leader for the Kansas offense on the field Saturday. Webb said he's heard that the stadium ranks equally with the other big venues in college football and that he's excited for the opportunity to play there.
The Jayhawks have played in tough road environments on multiple occasions this season. Playing against Texas in Austin, Texas, Georgia Tech in Atlanta and Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., were not easy tasks. Kansas lost all three games by an average of 42.3 points per game.
But while he's excited, he didn't seem the least bit concerned as the team has already seen it all 10 games into its season.
"It's just another thing for us," Webb said. "We're going to have our crowd noise throughout the week. We're going to be prepared for it and the coaches are going to have us ready."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Davis stays determined to get back on the court
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Carolyn Davis strips down to her spandex and climbs into the pool. As she prepares to work out on the underwater treadmill, a group of football players walk in. They exchange some awkward greetings, but Davis is determined to complete this workout and get one step closer to her return to the starting lineup. As the 6-foot-3 junior forward knows, you have to make some sacrifices for the sport you love.
Davis was forced to work out at the Anderson Family Football Complex instead of the usual basketball facilities at the Anderson Strength Center across campus because the pools were too shallow. She said she is friends with many of the players, so it was not quite as uncomfortable as it would seem.
After sitting out for a week to rest a stress fracture in her right foot, Davis returned to the Kansas women's basketball starting lineup for the second game of the season.
"Her minutes will be about how she feels. If it hurts, she is going to come out and we will shut her down," coach Bonnie Henrickson said of her Preseason All-Big 12 forward.
Though she played slower and more hesitant than usual, Davis
Kansas now prepares for its first road contest against Wake Forest on Sunday. Sophomore guard Keena Mays played minimal minutes in exhibition and did not see any playing time in the first game because of struggles with Henrickson in practice.
"It is a confidence builder because I wasn't feeling 100 percent and I wasn't fully confident about how I was gonna play because of stamina and running and stuff, so it was good to make some shots and get my confidence up," Davis said.
hit her stride with 14 points after shooting of 5 of 7 from the field and a perfect 4 of 4 at the free throw line. She played only 18 minutes, but started and jumped the ball for the Jayhawks.
With nine points and five rebounds in 19 minutes of play, Mays returned to the court to deliver sparks like two back-to-back steal and layup possessions in the second half.
Mays said she heard it loud and clear.
"I got it," she said. "I want to play."
"It feels great. That is what I
The one factor that disrupted an otherwise impressive outing was the Jayhawks' 25 turnovers. Henrickson said this has been a trend in practice and that the team has become antsy.
wanted the whole time," Mays said. "We finally got on the same page and hopefully I get to stay in the game."
Kansas seems to have found its rhythm with renewed energy and anticipation following the return of Davis and Mays. But in Davis' absence, the team tapped into the potential of freshman forward Bunny Williams.
"Bunny works hard every day in practice, so I just know when she gets into the game that she is gonna continue to work hard," Davis said. "She posts up really well and she is a really great finisher."
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland said the team needs to slow down and focus.
Davis has been impressed with Williams' early success in the program.
"We just need to learn how to handle pressure," Sutherland said. "They pressured us really hard."

Engineering school enrollment increases
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
The School of Engineering is building the next generation of innovative thinkers — and turning out more than ever. The school's undergraduate population has increased from approximately 1,500 students to 1,900 over the past five years, and the dean expects enrollment to continue to grow to 2,300 in the next five years.
In the economic downturn, students are attracted to the engineering field because of its salary — $56,921 is the average entry level pay and its relatively stable employment. More than 80 percent of engineering graduates from the University found jobs or were continuing their education within six months of graduation.
"It's a great time to be an engineer," Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, said. "As students learn more about the opportunities in engineering, they get more excited about it."
Engineering school expansion
As part of a statewide effort to boost graduation rates in the engineering field, the School of Engineering is ramping up recruitment efforts, increasing curriculum opportunities and expanding its facilities.
The school has worked harder to recruit students in high school with the help of local industries hosting recruitment events.

Students educate kids at
annual chemistry carnival
Daniel Kim, from Tuscon, Ariz. and Simon Lang, from Minnesota, graduate students in chemistry, show Isaac Springe, right, the properties of a non-Newtonian slime. The slime was one exhibit at the Chemistry Carnival in Malott Hall on campus Sunday.
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Science experiments can be messy, and the evidence was splattered all over room 2024 of Malott Hall Sunday afternoon.
Children packed the laboratory — known for the day as the "Oobleck Room" — to play with "slime" while others gasped at fireballs and ate cotton candy in the hallways. It was all a part of the chemistry department's 16th Annual Carnival of Chemistry.
Nolan Slusser, a 9-year-old,
from Topeka, said he liked the
Oobleck Room best of all because it was "all messy and stuff"
Graduate students and volunteers entertained and educated children with more than a dozen science exhibitions throughout Malott Hall, Kate Eshelman, a graduate student in chemistry from Reno, Nev., greeted visitors at the door and said the turnout was about as good as last year. At least 100 families visited exhibits of chemistry, renewable energy, and physics throughout the afternoon.
Eshleman said she worked the Oobbleck Room last year.
This year, it was in the hands of graduate students Daniel Kim, of Tuscon, Ariz., and Simon Lang, of Minnesota, who were up to their wrists in a "non-Newtonian" slime that behaved both as a solid and a liquid. The slime was two parts corn starch and one part water, with green and yellow food coloring for added effect.
Children pressed down on the slime and felt it turn solid as they pushed the water out. But it acted like a liquid when they squeezed it through their fingers.
through their fingers. Lang said the idea was to surprise the children and spark an
interest in why things sometimes aren't what they appear.
"The biggest thing is they get to feel the difference," he said. "It's more fun than reading it in a textbook."
By mid-afternoon, the slime speckled every surface in the room. Lang said he and Kim would be responsible for the clean-up.
"it's not going to be pretty," he said.

INTERNATIONAL
Debt crisis rattles European Union countries
Panel discusses debt in certain nations
CODY KUIPER
editor@kansan.com
The ongoing debt crisis in Europe is dominating the news and rattling stock markets lately. Whether the problem is more political or economic seems to depend on whom you ask.
On Thursday, the Center for Global and International Studies sponsored a discussion of the debt crisis featuring several professors of economics, political science and history. It focused primarily on how countries like Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain came to be in such predicaments, and how the European Union can solve these problems.
University professors have varying theories on why Europe is teetering on the edge of economic disarray, and their recent roundtable discussion placed the blame on poor political and economic decisions.
One panelist, University of Missouri-Kansas City economics professor Stephanie Kelton, put the bulk of the blame on the flaws of the continent's one-size-fits-all
currency, the Euro. But her main goal for the discussion was to end the misconception that America might find itself in a similar situation with its debt.
Robert Rohrschneider, a University professor in political science, contrasted Kelton's economic arguments with his own political theories. Although he agreed with her thoughts on the Euros' role in the crisis, he found the situation to be just as much political as it was economic.
"Europe has had economic problems for the past 10 to 20 years already, even before the onset of the current economic crisis," Rohrschneider said. "So that's why it's not just an economic crisis. It is also a political crisis because of the very fact that you don't have a
"I think a lot of people in the media, a lot of economists and ordinary people draw the wrong conclusion when they see what's happening in Europe," Kelton said, "and they think that if we don't begin to cut our deficit and get our fiscal house in order, we're next. And that's, in my view, absolute rubbish."
Victor Bailey, distinguished professor of modern British history at the University, moderated the discussion, but most of the discourse came from the audience's questions. Derek Eichman, a senior from Witchita, asked multiple questions during the discussion, which he said left him with a better understanding of Europe's economic plight.
"It put forth some fundamental components of the EU that I never really thought about before," he said. "It was a good overall introduction to the nature of the crisis."

"We're certainly in the planning stages of a series of tables focusing on historical and contemporary issues in Europe, as well as business, law and social studies," she said.
The event was the first of its kind organized by European Studies Coordinator Lorie A. Vanchena, but she doesn't think it will be the last.

CARACAS. VENEZUELA
A 33-year-old British adventurer preparing for a historic solo crossing of Antarctica was waiting at a base camp for the weather to improve on Sunday in order to begin her long journey on skis.
Felicity Aston said she has been doing more than physical training to ready herself for the expedition.
"I've also been speaking to a sports psychologist about the mental aspect of it because so much of this is about your head's at rather than your muscles and your physical fitness," Aston told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from the base camp at Union Glacier
She arms to become the first person to cross Antarctica alone using only muscle power. If she manages to complete the journey in late January as planned, she would also set a record for the longest solo polar expedition by a woman, at about 70 days.
COTONOU. BENIN
Pope Benedict XVI wrapped up a pilgrimage to Africa on Sunday where he laid out his spiritual vision for the continent and told tens of thousands during an open air Mass that "true royalty does not consist in a show of power," comments that Africans interpreted as a jab at the continent's corrupt rulers.
The 84-year-old pope, who recently began using a moving platform to get across the long aisle at St. Peter's Basilica, weathered the intense heat inside Benin's unventilated chapels and parishes to deliver the layered message on how Africa can emerge from war and poverty.
The pastoral guide includes advice on everything from treating AIDS, to the respect that should be shown toward indigenous beliefs. It's a deeply studied dissertation that reveals the importance that Africa now plays for the Roman Catholic Church, a region whose congregations are growing more quickly than anywhere else.
MADRID
Spain's opposition conservatives have declared victory in a general election marked by staggering unemployment and Europe's sovereign debt crisis.
In the last legislature the People's Party had 154 seats to 169 for the Socialists of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who was not seeking a third term in office. His party is saddled with a stagnant economy with grim prospects for years to come, and a 21.5 percent iobless rate.
"The political change led by Mariano Rajoy has won tonight in Spain," PP campaign manager Ana Mato said, although she stopped short of declaring outright victory.
Jubilant, cheering supporters waving red-and-yellow Spanish flags and blue-and-white party ones started to gather outside PP headquarters in downtown Madrid as pop music boomed over loudspeakers.
CAIRO
Egyptian soldiers and police set fire to protest tents in Cairo's Tahrir Square and fired tear gas and rubber bullets in a major assault Sunday to drive out thousands demanding that the military rulers quickly transfer power to a civilian government. At least 11 protesters were killed and hundreds were injured.
It was the second day of clashes marking a sharp escalation of tensions on Egypt's streets a week before the first elections since the ouster of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak in February. The military took over the country, promising a swift transition to civilian rule. But the pro-democracy protesters who led the uprising have grown increasingly angry with the ruling generals, and suspect they are trying to cling to power even after an elected parliament is seated and a new president is voted in.

ECONOMY
Government reports on private student loans
Students who have accepted private loans to pay for school have 60 days to tell the government about their experience.
The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is collecting comments and data from students for a report to Congress on the private student loan market, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
"The private student loan market is one of the least understood consumer credit markets. It has been operating in the shadows for too long," said Raj Date, special advisor to the secretary of the treasury on the CFBP, in a press release. "Shedding light on this industry will benefit students, lenders and the market as a whole."
Ian Cummings
Students have about 60 days to submit information for the report, which the Department of Education and the CFBP must deliver to
Congress by July 21, according to a White House press release. The CFPB asks for information about repayment terms and student behavior, the impact of private loans on students' choices of career and what information is available to students as they shop for loans. The agency is also requesting information from lenders, universities and the general public.
Students can learn more about the request for information and submit comments at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!home

CAMPUS
Senior to attend Oxford on Rhodes Scholarship
Kelsey Murrell, a senior from Kearney, Mo., recently won a Rhodes Scholarship, according a University announcement Saturday. Murrell will graduate from the University Honors Program in May 2012, and will receive funding to attend the University of Oxford for at least one year. The scholarships are awarded to 32 students annually.
Murrell is an English literature and creative writing major and will study refuge migration patterns at Oxford, according to a University Relations press release. She received an undergraduate research award for
her studies in immigration narratives and is working on a seniors honors thesis on refugee stories. She is also a playwright and founder of the Contemporary Student Alternative Theatre, an organization of writers and performers on campus. Murrell was one of only 10 students admitted to the Dean's Scholars Program in the fall of 2010 and was one of 20 University sophomores chosen for the University Scholars Program. The University has sent 26 students, including Murrell, to Rhodes Scholarships - more than any other university in Kansas.

Alexis Jones, director of recruitment for the school, and a team of recruiters travel around the state as well as the Omaha, Neb., St. Louis, Dallas, Houston,
Denver, and Kansas City, Mo., areas in an effort to reach high school students interested in engineering.
"We are looking for students who really have a passion for math
and science as well as problem solving," Jones said. "That's what engineering is all about."
Jones promotes the student groups, research opportunities and diverse population as reasons to choose engineering at Kansas.
"A lot of engineering is making a difference and making lives easier and better, and we're recruiting students who show those qualities." Jones said.
Jami Bessey, a freshman from Paola majoring in mechanical engineering, chose to engineering at Kansas because of its close proximity to home and her ability to be creative in the field.
"I get to watch my ideas become things," she said. "Engineering is used everywhere from building to electronics. It's something that's integral to human society."

H&M opens on Plaza
H&M's new storefront on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. It opened Thursday with a line of customers that stretched down the block. H&M now has more than 2,200 stores in more than 40 countries.
SARA SNEATH ssneath@kansan.com
H&M, a Swedish clothing company, opened a new location on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo, Thursday afternoon. Students like Kristine Anderson, a junior from Olathe, made the trip from Lawrence this weekend to check out the low-priced fashion store.
H&M is one of the many affordable, but still trendy stores to open in the Kansas City area. According to the Kansas City Business Journal, Forever 21 opened in 2010 on the Country Club Plaza and Love Culture will open in Leawood this spring.
"My girlfriend and her roommate wanted to come," Anderson said of H&M's opening. "It just opened. So, they're really excited about it."
On Saturday, H&M hired a disc jockey to spin at the Kansas City location. Anderson said she enjoyed the music, but the lines were really long.
Jessica Luber, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., said she saw the H&M mbanner on the Plaza in October. Luber said she went to the H&M in Chicago over spring break and intended to check out the Plaza location, once for herself and again for Christmas shopping.
H&M's large crowd over the weekend may be due to the advertising of Kansas City's first branch location, but it also may be a result of its familiarity as an international brand, with more than 2,200 stores in 40 countries.
Kerry Ternes, a sophomore from McIntosh, S.D., said she's been to the H&M in St. Louis and Vancouver. Ternes said there isn't another store like H&M. She said Forever 21 is kind of similar, but appears to be geared more to a younger audience.
While H&M products cannot be purchased online, shipping will become available in Spring 2012. Ternes said regardless if H&M products are available online she intends to continue to go to the Plaza location.
Before the Kansas City location opened, the nearest H&M location was St. Louis.

In this image made from video, a police officer uses pepper spray as he walks down a line of Occupy demonstrators sitting on the ground at the University of California, Davis on Friday, Nov. 18, 2011. The video - posted on YouTube - was shot Friday as police moved in on more than a dozen tents erected on campus and arrested 10 people, nine of them students.
Police pepper spray protesters
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — As video spread of an officer in riot gear blasting pepper spray into the faces of seated protesters at a northern California university, outrage came quickly — followed almost as quickly by defense from police and calls for the chancellor's resignation.
University of California Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi said in a statement Saturday she was forming a task force to investigate the police action and the video images she said were "chilling."
However, a law enforcement official who watched the clip called the use of force "fairly standard police procedure."
she had no plans to resign.
In the video, an officer dispassionately pepper-sprays a line of several sitting protesters who flinch and cover their faces but remain passive with their arms interlocked as onlookers shriek and scream out for the officer to stop.
As the images were circulated widely on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter on Saturday, the university's faculty association called on Katehi to resign, saying in a letter there had been a "gross failure of leadership."
At a news conference, Katehi said what the video shows is, "sad and really very inappropriate" but defended her leadership and said
"I do not think that I have violated the policies of the institution," she said. "I have worked personally very hard to make this campus a safe campus for all."
Katehi remained in a media room for more than two hours after the news conference, eventually walking to an SUV past a group of students nearly three blocks long who, in a coordinated effort, remained completely silent. The Sacramento Bee said.
The protest was held in support of the overall Occupy Wall Street movement and in solidarity with protesters at the University of California, Berkeley who were jabbed by police with batons on Nov. 9.
Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant who wrote the department's use of force guidelines, said pepper spray is a "compliance tool" that can be used on subjects who do not resist, and is preferable to simply lifting protesters.
"When you start picking up human bodies, you risk hurting them." Kelly said. "Bodies don't have handles on them."
After reviewing the video, Kelly said he observed at least two cases of "active resistance" from protesters. In one instance, a woman pulls her arm back from an officer. In the second instance, a protester curls into a ball. Each of those actions could have warranted more force, including baton strikes and pressure-point techniques.
"What I'm looking at is fairly standard police procedure," Kelly said.
Images of police actions have served to galvanize support during the Occupy Wall Street movement, from the clash between protesters and police in Oakland last month that left an Iraq War veteran with serious injuries to more recent skirmishes in New York City, San Diego, Denver and Portland, Ore.
Some of the most notorious instances went viral online, including the use of pepper spray on an 84-year-old activist in Seattle and a group of women in New York. Seattle's mayor apologized to the activist, and the New York Police Department official shown using pepper spray on the group of women lost 10 vacation days after an internal review.
In the video of the UC Davis protest, the officer, a member of the university police force, displays a bottle before spraying its contents on the seated protesters in a sweeping motion while walking back and forth. Most of the protesters have their heads down, but several were hit directly in the face.

Online indie rock magazine returns to print publication
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
PHILADELPHIA — Given the hard times that have hit the music and publishing industries in recent years, it wasn't so shocking when Magnet, the national indie rock magazine based in Philadelphia, put out what looked like its final print issue in 2008 and became a web-only publication.
"The music industry was in the toilet, and we were able to weather that," says Magnet editor Eric T. Miller, who in 1993 cofounded the magazine. (John Cusack was reading it in publicity shots for the 2000 movie adaptation of Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."
"And then the magazine industry was in the toilet, and we were able to weather that — for a while." And then, in 2008, the economy crashed.
At the same time, Kimberly Merritt, Magnet's art director and Miller's wife, experienced health problems that left her unable to work. The goated Miller, who is 40 and has made Magnet his life's work since getting a journalism degree from Temple University in 1993, shook his head, as his Boston Terrier, Higgins, sat by his feet.
In a shrinking market where online music sites and blogs such as Pitchfork and Stereogum have thrived while traditional media such as Spin (now a bimonthly magazine), Paste (web-only), and Blender (out of business) have struggled, Magnet seemed headed for a depressing denouement.
"You're able to weather 90 things going wrong, but 100 things."
Miller doubted he would ever again hold a fresh copy of the magazine, which featured stylish altrockers Urge Overkill on its first cover and had established itself as a sharp, authoritative voice.
Then in October, a funny thing happened. The 10,000 rock fans on Magnet's subscription list who were still owed issues found something surprising in their mailboxes: A new issue of Magnet, with the esteemed American rock band Wilco on its cover.
And this month, another, with the reunited "classic lineup" of Guided by Voices. In December, they will get a year-end issue proclaiming the debut by the young British band Yuck as album of the year.
Magnet is back in print because of publisher Alex Mulcahy, owner of Red Flag Media, which also puts out the environmentally conscious Grid ("Toward a sustainable Philadelphia" is its motto) and headbangers monthly Decibel, edited by metal authority Albert Mudrian.
While maintaining a daily Web presence, Magnet is again a monthly, bucking an industry trend. And it is eliciting elation from loyal readers, such as Michael Mongillo of Meridien, Conn., who wrote in a letter: "I'm thrilled that Magnet is back in print. And twelve times a year. Even awesome!"
"It couldn't be a better time" to relaunch Magnet, said Mulcahy, in offices near Philadelphia's Chinatown, where Red Flag's 10
"I don't want to tell you how many subscribers we had," he said. "But if I took off my shoes I could count them all on my fingers and toes ... It just failed to capture the consumer's imagination."
With Cowbell struggling, Mulcahy consulted with Miller this summer. It dawned on them that it might not be quite so hard to restart a magazine, particularly one with Magnet's brand recognition and subscriber base.
full-time employee work. "There's a vacuum. I don't think people want to read music magazines any less. I still think it's an important way to find new music — having a curated magazine that cohesive, that matches your sensibilities."
"It all happened very fast," Miller said. "I'm very excited to be doing it again."
Cowbell's editorial direction did not vary drastically from Magnet's But Cowbell, Mulcahy says, "was not gaining traction" after 17 issues.
Mulcahy felt just as strongly in 2010, when Red Flag launched Cowbell, a monthly that employed many longtime Magnet writers who are now again writing for Magnet.
Well, Kelly Ripa has a long-term deal with what's for now called "Livel With Kelly" so don't expect her to vanish, too. Jerry Seinfeld will co-host the first post-Regits week (actually three days because of the holiday), and Neil Patrick Harris will step in for the week after that.
"We're just not going to rush this," said Bob Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Co. He told the New York Times that "there is no deadline. If the press starts writing in six months that nothing is happening, that won't matter. We are going to take our time."
Not that he lacks for candidates.

Non-traditional students deserve more recognition
EDITORIAL
While most students attend University of Kansas right out of high school to enjoy the college lifestyle while receiving a lauded career-building education, non-traditional, graduate and researching students should still be included in the policy-making process at the University.
This is exactly what student leaders supported when they voted 46-5 in favor of giving Stouffer Apartment residents proper representation in the Student Senate through the Stouffer Place Association (SPA) at a meeting on Nov.9.
Student Housing dissolved the executive board of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association in March. Previously, the SNA represented the residents on the Senate, but the SPA is now the recognized governing body.
Diana Robertson, the student housing director, said that SNA failed to comply with expectations the department holds for organizations representing students. However, the former president for SNA, Seyool Oh, said that the organization fulfilled all housing requirements except for handing over access to the SNA email account. He said the University's operating procedures didn't require student-governing organizations to provide access to their email accounts.
Student Housing needs to find out if it has the authority to access these email accounts, because
But it wasn't, because both Oh and Student Senate demonstrated maturity that should be followed for issues of politics and representation anywhere.
this issue could have been detrimental to Stouffer residents' right to representation on campus.
By peacefully letting go of his previous leadership title and saying he will focus on what he can do to help Stouffer residents, Oh shows the dedication of a true student leader, and he didn't give up the integral role he can play in making life better for residents.
As Student Senate voted to bend its rules to accommodate SPA's representation, it put students' interests ahead of personal or political flavors. First and foremost, Stouffar Apartments residents need to be represented.
While politics on the national stage usually present bickering and self interests above a greater good for the common and uncommon citizens, Student Senate should continue to take the mindset of the greater good for the traditional and non-traditional student.
Non-traditional students are characterized as students who are at least two years older than the traditional age of their grade level. Often, it's harder for these students to live with younger students.
Places like Stouffer Apartments offer non-traditional students living experiences that are more
suited for their lifestyle. They also provide students with children a greater family-oriented environment.
All facets of the University need to make sure non-traditional students aren't left out of decision-making processes. Academic departments should gather valuable feedback from this important demographic. Housing and student activities should hold more social events for older students. And the administration should strive for the University to be known as non-traditional-friendly.

Fox News' perception of racism concerning
A lot of racism went down this month. This wasn't your normal run-of-the-mill racial-epithet-drop either. This racism was poorly veiled as non-racism. And who else would pull that shit, but Fox News?
By Chance Carmichael
Let's start at the beginning. The funny thing about the relationship between Fox News and Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" is that Fox News wants to nail him back so badly.
Jon Stewart is constantly calling it out for being ridiculously biased, and all it can do is sit there in padded ivory chairs in probably-smoke-filled board rooms angrily throwing martinis at the wall (martinis are evil, right?). But sometimes, Fox News tries to call him out right back, and it always ends hilariously. This last Monday, Stewart made some jokes about Herman Cain's newly surfaced sexual harassment settlement from the '90s. Nothing about these jokes was
racially charged.
The next day, Jon Stewart's whacky-haired nemesis Donald Trump released a video in which he calls Stewart a racist who can "get away with it."
Donald "King Birther" Trump obviously had no room to talk, so it wasn't hard for Stewart to quip him back in the following show. The issue at hand here is that so many conservatives are incredibly racist. Did Stewart use Cain's race to deride him in any of the jokes? No. He didn't even make a reference to Cain being black until the "black walnut" joke at the end of the segment, but that wasn't necessarily racist. Trump was the one being racis — using Cain's race as a means to try and discredit Stewart.
Looking at a person who is being insulted and actively believing that he must be getting attacked because he is black is racist. Even if Trump doesn't really believe that — to bring it up, and then follow the accusation up by saying he has a "great relationship with the blacks" is so absolutely, incredibly, terrifyingly racist it's not even funny. It's almost like racial-racism.
that conservative "blacks" have it harder. You know, treating somebody differently, putting them in their own separate-but-equal group because of their race is racism. Race was a huge issue in Obama's campaign, because the right constantly tried to de-Americanize him due to the color of his skin, his racist preacher, and his father's religion and heritage. But we proved that it has — somewhat — become a nonissue by ultimately electing him president. Granted, I will concede that race was an issue for those who voted for Obama, but I highly doubt anyone voted for the guy solely because he's black.
A friend of mine recently posted on Facebook about a school in the south that decided to serve fried chicken and watermelon on Martin Luther King Day. His sister said that she didn't think it was a big deal, and others commented that it was harmless and that southern people of color often do partake
in these delightful foods. But this kind of racism does de-humanize these people. Most people in the south love fried chicken, and sure, maybe a lot of African Americans enjoy the food, but serving the food in celebration of a man who set out to prove that people of color are just as much people as white people isn't right. It takes them, says that they must think and be this way because of their race, and strips them of their individuality. Acting like being black is the only reason Herman Cain could be insulted is racist even though it doesn't immediately seem to be. It also aims to discredit the sexual harassment suit he has been lying about since it surfaced. But, y'know, Fox Newsies — what are you gonna do?

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Culture reduces severity of sexual assault
By Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com
In my article during Domestic Violence Awareness Week, I highlighted the importance of being aware of domestic violence at college. There is another significant piece of the puzzle: sexual assault. Like domestic violence, sexual assault is particularly dangerous on college campuses.
We often think of rape or sexual assault as something that happens in an isolated area, with a stranger, and to someone else — a faceless woman we do not know. But the reality of most sexual assaults is very different from this picture.
enced rape or attempted rape since age 14, says a U.S. Department of Justice report from 2002. Not only that, but the report also states that women ages 16 to 24 are at higher risk of sexual assault than women of other age groups.
Sexual assaults are more common than many realize, especially in college.
Sexual assaults aren't all the same. It is a misconception that most sexual assault involves rape perpetrated by a stranger in a dark alley.
One in four is a scary statistic, one so scary it almost seems unreal. But it is about one in four women in college who have experi-
According to a research report by
the U.S. Department of Justice in 2005, most sexual assaults on campuses are committed by someone the victim knows. That fact alone requires us to reevaluate how we think about sexual assault and how we go about preventing and remedying abuse.
Most importantly, sexual assault is something we can address. Though we may not be
able to eradicate it completely (but don't give up hope on that just yet), we can at least take steps to create a safer environment for others and ourselves.
As sad as it sounds, the kind of culture we live in can sometimes make sexual assault seem almost "OK." Sometimes the language we use exacerbates this culture. Most people don't mean any harm when they say they "raped" that chemistry test or when they call their
friend a slut in a joking manner, but even these jokes have ramifications. They perpetuate an atmosphere that blurs the lines of what is OK and what isn't OK, making identifying sexual assault more complicated and decreasing the likelihood that it will be reported.
By using "rape" in a less serious context, for example, the severity of the word is diminished, which in turn can make the action seem less grotesque and less proximal. It may seem like a stretch, but the long chain of effects on our culture is what makes issues like sexual assault so complicated. We can all check ourselves every now and then; in a setting where sexual assault is so common, it's worth being a little more careful.
Our university and the Lawrence community provide some important resources for victims of sexual assault and for anyone who wants
to take precautions. The Jayhawk Buddy System and the SafeBar Alliance are useful ways to stay safe for evenings and weekends out, and the GaDuGi SafeCenter provides immediate assistance for victims. There are also counseling services on campus, and for preventative measures, the University also offers free self defense classes at the rec center.
If something comes to your attention, don't be afraid to help a friend out of a bad situation. Contact an expert if you aren't sure how you can help, but the important thing is letting your friend know you are there to help and looking out for each other.

REWIND
Texas A&M wastes no time
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Texas A&M punter Ryan Epperson had kicked 40 puns heading into Saturday's game against Kansas. He left with the same total, as the Kansas defense did not force one punt from the Aggies.
Texas A&M had the ball for just 21 minutes and 43 seconds during Saturday's blowout. In that short time, the Aggies scored 61 points, as they knocked off Kansas 61-7. While Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman did say that time of possession should not be an indicator of what happened in the game, he did point out that the numbers were staggering.
"I've never had that little time of possession with that many points," Sherman said.
And while it was bad for a defense that had been improving in its last three games, the number of points Texas A&M scored did not properly portray the odds that were put against them.
Giving up 469 yards like the Kansas defense did against Texas A&M is nothing to brag about. Yet the number is still similar to the amount of yards it had given up to Baylor and Iowa State in its previous two games, which were much closer contests.
Against Baylor, Kansas gave up 505 yards and only 31 points. And against Iowa State the Jayhawks gave up 426 yards and only 10 points. The Jayhawks' defense was often put in poor field position as Texas A&M's 469 yards led to 61 points.
"A lot of it was field position, they started on the 40 or they started on the 50," junior safety Bradley McDougald said. "Five or six of their starts were inside of our territory, so that definitely doesn't help when you have a high-powered running offense like they had and a lot of things they were doing."
Texas A&M running back for Cyrus Gray ran the ball nine times in the first half for 95 yards for an average of 10.4 yards per carry. Gray did not play in the second half as a precautionary measure because of a shoulder injury.
Kansas turned the ball over three times, which didn't help a defense that Texas A&M often bowled over.
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson was visibly disappointed after a game in which the defense let up six touchdown plays of 25 yards or more.
"You've got to make a play" Johnson said. "Everybody that we put on the field is capable of making plays, they've just got to hone in."
Even though the 54-point loss was a staggering one, the Jayhawks defense did not quit on the field. As the team fell to 2-9 and 0-8 in Big 12 play, junior cornerback Greg Brown did not see any of his teammates' demeanor falter.
"I really don't feel like anyone has quit, things just haven't been going the right way," Brown said. "I see everyone with their head
up and still competing out there trying to make plays."

Only one game remains this miserable season.

That game is against archival Mizzou which is set to leave for the SEC and might be the last Border Showdown for awhile, and the Jayhawks showed little life against Texas A&M, the other team departing for the SEC.

Kansas secondary: As a group, the entire secondary underperformed. They let receivers lose in coverage and missed too many tackles.
Gill Hot Seat Watch
To say Gill's seat is hot is an understatement, Odds that he will keep his job after this season appear slim.
Still Questioning
Why can't the Jayhawks play well in Texas? Thirty-eight Jayhawks hail from the Lone Star State. Yet all three times that Gill has taken the Jayhawks down to Texas, they have been demolished.
Looking ahead
Next up for the Jayhawks is the suddenly hot Missouri Tigers. It's the biggest game of the year, especially since it could be the last time these two teams meet on the football field for a long time.
Final Thought
Any improvement Kansas showed in losing late to Baylor and Iowa State was wiped away by this blowout defeat. This was the worst margin of defeat Turner Gill has had since taking over at Kansas last season. It's pretty hard to believe that just four years ago this team was playing in the Orange Bowl and competing for the Big 12 title.

In this March 20, 2010 file photo, Oklahoma State women's basketball coach Kurt Budke, a Salina native, reacts during the first half of an NCAA first-round college basketball game against Chattanooga, in Tempe, Ariz. Oklahoma State University says Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna were killed in a plane crash in central Arkansas. The university said in a news release on Friday that the two were on a recruiting trip to Arkansas when the plane crashed near Perrillo, about 45 miles west of Little Rock.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. — Kurt Budke believed in Oklahoma State when no one else did, and he wasn't afraid to show it.
Less than two years after his Cowgirls failed to win any of their 16 conference games, Budke led them up against powerhouse Oklahoma and reigning national player of the year Courtney Paris. He supported his upstart team with quite the fashion statement: the brightest orange blazer he could find.
Behind a scintillating 45-point game from Andrea Riley, the Cowgirls upset the sixth-ranked Sooners for the first time in nine years.
Wherever Budke went, he won.
The charismatic coach who turned the Cowgirls into an NCAA tournament regular was killed along with assistant coach Miranda Serna and two other people in a plane crash in Arkansas late Thursday. The two coaches, who first united as player and coach 16 years ago, had been on a recruiting trip.
Thanksgiving Buffets
Budke frequently offered his players encouragement from the sidelines, but he also could be firm, raising his deep voice. And on more than one occasion, he grabbed a microphone to speak to the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd after a win.

ley (Texas) and was his assistant at Louisiana Tech for the last of three straight trips to the NCAA tournament.
"What's important is he was a father figure for these kids. He had a tremendous knack of taking kids that maybe were struggling in some part of their life and making it better for them. That was his strongest trait."
The Guadalupita, N.M., native was his recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State, which has been to the postseason the past five years. University President Burns Hargis said Serna was the first in her family to go to college.
Budke played basketball for Barton County Junior College and graduated from Washburn in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in physical education. After some early small-college jobs, he built the JUCO powerhouse at Trinity Valley before hooking up with Louisiana Tech, once one of the top programs in the women's game.
A Salina, Kan., native, Budke was a married father of three, including a daughter currently at Oklahoma State.
"I looked at him almost as a mentor," Ford said. "I can't tell you how many times I would pick up the phone and ask him how he ran his zone offense. He'd come down to the office or I'd go up to his and we would sit and talk."
Serna, 36, was one of his top helpers along the way. Before spending the last seven seasons at OSU, she played on one of his four teams that won the junior-college national title at Trinity Val-
"I loved her energy for the game," Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Travis Ford said. "She had a great enthusiasm for the game. She enjoyed recruiting and she enjoyed the process of that and just had a warm heart."
When Budke took over the program, the Cowgirls had finished with a losing record in five of their previous seven seasons and never finished more than a game over .500 during that span.
The Cowgirls went 0-16 in Big 12 play in his first season, then secured their first bid to the NCAA tournament in 11 years. The next year brought a trip to the round of 16.
"You learn how to lose, and that's a bad habit," he once said of those early struggles. "Sometimes, it's easier to lose than to fight back, so we had to change habits and expectations."
Budke had little to sell but a dream, but it was enough to convince the WNBA-bound Riley to come make her mark. She left as the program's career scoring leader.
"I came to this league because I wanted to coach against the best, night in and night out," he once said. "These players that want to come play for us want to play against the best. That's how we go out and recruit."
"When I first went there and got into the gym office, I saw eight players in the outer office hanging around, enjoyting themselves and relaxing," said Leon Barmore, who made nine Final Four trips with the Lady Techsters and also hired Budke.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
PAGE 9
Fresh off a loss to Kentucky in New York City, coach Bill Self and Kansas travel to Hawaii for the 28th annual Maui Invitational. The placid lifestyle of the island is precisely what this team needs following the intensity that goes with showdowns in Madison Square Garden.
The Jayhawks are out to prove that they're not merely an afterthought following the departure of the Morris twins, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. The expectations for the season are certainly lowered, especially after Tuesday's loss. However, Self feels confident about his group of unproven talents. With the chance to play Duke in the invitational's championship game, Kansas can quickly erase the worries that swirl around the team as it prepares for Georgetown.
PLAYER TO WATCH
THOMAS ROBINSON
JUNIOR FORWARD
Don't let the numbers fool you; Robinson was severely outmatched in the Kentucky game. He was outplayed by both Terrence
JOHN WAYNE
Robinson
Jones and Anthony Davis and missed layups and other shots near the hoop that usually translate into dunks when he plays in the comfort of Allen Fieldhouse. Now Robinson is out to prove that Tuesday was an outlier, not a regular possibility, when he plays away from Lawrence. Georgetown coach John Thompson III has watched Robinson play since he was a high school star in nearby Washington, D.C. If Robinson succeeds against Georgetown, it will be out of dominance, not surprise.
QUESTION MARK
WILL KANSAS REBOUND OR
REMEMBER?
If the Jayhaws dwell on Tuesday's loss, they may fall to Georgetown and find themselves in the losers bracket before they even settle in. Kansas must forget about Kentucky and focus on the invitational, game by game. This is one of Self's youngest and most inexperienced teams since he arrived in Lawrence, so the team's collective mindset is something to pay attention to. When the greatest shooters miss a shot, they completely erase the memory from their minds. They shoot well because their minds aren't clouded with misses, but rather focused on the next make. If the Jayhawks can follow this philosophy, there's not a team in the field, even Duke, that should be considered a heavy favorite above them.
"We're not where we need to be, but that was great teaching tape for us."

KANSAS STARTERS
PETER GILBERT
Johnson
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, SENIOR GUARD Taylor really needed some help against Kentucky, but no one was there to provide. Like most of his team, Taylor's field goal percentage was poor. He hit just three of his 13 shots from the field. However he reached the free throw line a whipping 17 times in the game and sunk 15 of them. Don't expect Taylor to average that many attempts from the charity stripe throughout the invitational.
ELJIAH JOHNSON, JUNIOR GUARD
★★★★☆
Playing out of position has been a moderate success for Johnson. While he occasionally brings the ball up the court like a point guard, he is usually the shooting guard who complements Taylor at the point. Against Kentucky, his hit just three of 11 shot attempts and missed three of four 3-point shots. Johnson is best when his team plays fast and he can expose defenses in transition.
Releford
★★★☆☆

TRAVIS RELEFORD, JUNIOR FORWARD
Withey
Releford might have been the team's worst player against Kentucky. In 28 minutes played, he had more turnovers (5) than points (4). Against Georgetown, he will likely defend Hollis Thompson to spare his teammate Robinson of foul trouble. Releford needs to establish himself as a rebounder and a force in the paint. Self has said repeatedly that Releford should be one of the team's best rebounders, but the evidence isn't there yet.
THOMAS ROBINSON, JUNIOR FORWARD
★★★☆☆
JEFF WITHEY, JONNIE CENTER
Withey was the team's best player in the first half against Kentucky, as he proved that he can block shots against the best. However, like the rest of his team, he found himself in early foul trouble and returned to the game only to play catch-up. This tournament may be remembered as Withey's coming out party. If not, it may be another dull and predictable effort from the potentially overhyped center.
If Robinson plans to make a bid as national player of the year, now is the time to get started. In last season's Maui Invitational, Connecticut's Kemba Walker essentially won the tournament by himself. Robinson has the talent to do the same, however he must avoid foul trouble. Robinson would please the coaching staff if he could rebound throughout the game, rather than in short spurts. Walker led the Huskies in the invitational, then won a national title. The stage is set for Robinson. Will he do the same?

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
The Jayhawks take advantage of their side of the bracket. If Kansas can win its opening game against Georgetown, it would face tournament host Chaminade or a struggling UCLA team. The top side of the tournament bracket is much tough, which includes No. 6 Duke, No. 10 Memphis, and No. 17 Michigan. A pair of convincing wins en route to the championship game would be nice for Jayhawk fans, but even a couple of struggling victories would be masked by a possible tournament championship.

BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
The Jayhawks lose their second game in a row. Losing to No. 2 Kentucky on a neutral court is hardly a reason to panic, but dropping another game to a largely unproven Georgetown squad would raise a few flags for fans. With No. 3 Ohio State still on the non-conference schedule, things don't necessarily get easier in the coming weeks for Kansas. Back-to-back losses and a 1-2 start to the season would be a cause for concern.
Prediction Kansas 69, Georgetown 64
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
GEORGE TOWN TIPOFF
ATA GLANCE
Georgetown has played a soft schedule through two games this season, with easy wins over Savannah State and UNC-Greensboro. The opening round game of the Maul Invitational against Kansas will be the Hoyas' first trip away from home this year. They were picked to finish 10th in the annual pre-season Big East coaches poll. Last season they fell to Virginia Commonwealth in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 74-56. Coach John Thompson III is entering his eighth season at Georgetown where he's compiled a record of 160-71. He was named the 2007 Coach of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches after winning the Big East Tournament and advancing to the Final Four that season. He runs the Princeton offense at Georgetown, which Thompson learned while coaching under Princeton head coach Pete Carrill in the mid-to-late 1990's. The offensive scheme consists of controlling the ball for much of the shot clock, a myriad of passes and back-door cuts, and often results in low-scoring games.

WILL THE HOYAS BE ABLE TO SCORE CONSISTENTLY AGAINST THE JAYHAWKS?
QUESTION MARK
his third season with the Hoyas and has played significant minutes through two seasons with the team. He graduated a semester early from Loyola High School in Los Angeles and began practicing with the Hoyas a semester early. He chose to attend Georgetown over UCLA, Arizona, and Duke, among others, after averaging 18.6 points and 9.0 rebounds as a junior at Loyola. Thompson isn't the most experienced starter for the Hoyas, but he's certainly the most versatile and looks to have the NBA in his near future. At 6-foot-8 and 212 pounds, he's still able to step away from the basket and create matchup problems for defenders.
In coach John Thompson III's Princeton offense, possessions are at a premium and games are often low-scoring. Forward Hollis Thompson and Jason Clark are able to score with regularity, but the rest of the Georgetown roster is filled with underclassmen and unproven veterans. The Hoyas averaged 70.6 points per game last season but lost their top two scorers in Austin Freeman and Chris Wright, who averaged 17.6 and 12.2 points, respectively. Getting consistent production from the underclassmen, including freshman and former Kansas recruit Otto Porter, will be the key to knocking off Kansas in tonight's matchup in Maui. Thompson and Clark are the known commodities on offense, but until two or three other Hoyas show they are capable, trusting Georgetown to put up impressive offensive numbers is a bad idea.

Jayhawks prepare for Hoyas, Maui Invitational
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
Coach Bill Self has a laugh during one-on-one interviews with reporters at the Sheraton Resort Sunday morning in Lahaina, Hawaii. Self and the team traveled to Hawaii to participate in the 28th Annual EA Sports Maui Invitational. The Jayhawks will face Georgetown tonight at 11 p.m.
28th Annual EA Sports Maui Invitational Championship Round
MAX ROTHMAN
MAX RUTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Nov. 21-23, 2011 — Lahaina Civic Center — Lahaina, Hawaii All games Hawaiian time. (Central time in parentheses.) Game times subject to change. Home team is bottom half of bracket. Chaminade is always the home team.
LAHAINA, Hawaii - With a lei draped around his neck and Pacific waves whooshing in the background, coach Bill Self shrugged off Tuesday's loss against Kentucky. The pace and pressure of New York City is far away now.
"You can't make a big deal out of one thing." Self said.
"If we had a local, it'd be Conner," Self said, referring to senior guard Conner Teahan.
The offense relies on steady doses of passing and movement away from the ball. By using back-door cuts and consistent motion, scorers take advantage of defenses that are too slow to adjust.
Monday's matchup with Georgetown won't cast light on the entire season, but it will serve as a barometer of how the team handled Tuesday's defeat and how the Jayhawks adjust to the atypical lifestyle of the island.
"If you look at what we do relative to most teams out here, you see bits and pieces and a lot of similarities," Thompson III said.
The team arrived in Maui on Friday and has prepared for Georgetown and the Princeton-style offense of coach John Thompson III.
"Who wouldn't want to come here?" Self said.
"It's a time to get better," Self said, "and find out who you really are."
Amid the stillness of the island, the Maui Invitational begins today and features eight schools of varying prestige. Along with Kansas, other schools such as Duke, UCLA and Georgetown — the team's first opponent — carry storied histories and year-to-year expectations. Memphis, Michigan and Tennessee, schools of lesser basketball traditions but enough talent to surprise, will also play in the tournament hosted by Chaminade.
Edited by Jayson Jenks
Thompson doesn't see what all the fuss is about. He said that all teams have to guard and shoot, and there's not much more to his team's style of play. Self is aware of the unique details of Georgetown's offense and joked with his group about the inevitable.
"Which one is going to be the first to give up a backdoor layup?" he said.
The team has practiced three times on the island and has started adapting to the mellow lifestyle that swallows the land. Self said that because the area is quiet by 11 p.m., his team is getting plenty of rest. However, sharing locker rooms with other teams and warming up for just 15 minutes before each game is unlike the routine back home.
Breaking away from routine could ready Kansas for the inconsistencies of March, so Self welcomes the changes. He said the players weren't exactly running for the water right off the plane, although that could be a product of the country and city backgrounds that speckle the roster.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"The last time we were there, obviously, was very good because we finished seventh. If I'm not mistaken there were six national
champions since 88 and the one that wasn't was Gonzaga and that when they had Morrison so they were loaded. If I remember right, you had Connecticut, Arizona, Michigan State, Gonzaga, Arkansas and us."
Bill Self on the 2005 Maui Invitational teams

A: Four (Duke, Kansas, Michigan and UCLA)
— mauiinvitational.com
MORNING BREW
Championship Series is to pair the nation's top two college football teams in the National Championship Game. Although the system technically works in that regard, controversy around the BCS is an annual occurrence.
Entering this weekend, undefeated LSU and Oklahoma State sat atop of the BCS standings. If both those teams could have won the rest of their games, 2011 would be one of the least controversial decisions in the system's history. Well, if only it were that easy.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
In a matter of days, a seemingly simple year for the BCS became one of the most chaotic in the system's 13-year history. No.2 Oklahoma State suffered a shocking loss on Friday at Iowa State. The 27-point underdog Cyclones came out motivated against a Cowboy team that clearly had their sights set on the Dec. 3 Bedlam showdown against in-state rival Oklahoma. Although the loss definitely
hurts Oklahoma State's chances at a title game berth, an impressive showing against one-loss Oklahoma should propel them back to the No. 2 spot. Once again, if only it were that easy.
The Sooners saw their title hopes crushed in Waco, Texas on Saturday. The Baylor Bears, led by the dynamic Robert Griffin III, were able to stay with Oklahoma in a back-and-forth game. Griffin connected with Terrance Williams on a 34-yard
touchdown pass with eight seconds remaining to seal a 45-38 upset. Bedlam will still be a crucial game, but a win over two-loss Oklahoma team does not help Oklahoma State nearly as much as it could have.
To make matters even more hectic in the BCS battle, the No. 4 Oregon Ducks fell to Southern California at home, 38-35. After losing to LSU in the season opener, Oregon is virtually eliminated from BCS title consideration.
In just 48 hours, three top-five teams suffered losses and the No. 2 spot is more up for grabs than ever. As it stands right now, the title game would be a rematch of the Nov. 5 "Game of the Century" between LSU and Alabama, in which the Tigers won 9-6. The possibility of a rematch could be the BCS' worst nightmare. Not only have LSU and Alabama already played, but also the two teams are in the same division of the Southeastern Conference. Even though I think that LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the country, I don't see a
KU
rematch between division rivals generating any national appeal.
If there is one certainty of this unpredictable college football season, the next couple weeks will shake up the BCS standings even more.

These five teams will wear special warm-up shirts and a pair of adiZero Crazy Lights, the lightest basketball shoes ever weighing in at 9.8 ounces a shoe.
Michigan, UCLA, Tennessee and Chaminade, the host school, will also wear Maui-inspired apparel since all four schools wear Adidas.
When Kansas' contract with Adidas is up after the 2012-13 season, Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger needs to make a deal with Nike like he did when he was at Illinois State.
That's where the cool factor stops.
COMMENTARY Nike can renew the swagger
MISERABLE SEASON HITS A NEW LOW
I understand why Turner Gill doesn't want to have names on the back of the jerseys because he wants the players to be playing for the name on the front, not the back, but I would argue Kansas' football team needs some help in the swag department since it doesn't have names on the back of the jerseys. With the team this bad, how are fans supposed to know who is wha? Remembering numbers is difficult enough, especially when you can't see somebody's face because it's covered with a helmet.
FOOTBALL REWIND
Texas A&M wastes no time
MAN
Adidas may bring in the cash, but Nike will Help bring the swag.
This creative idea is to get the players and coaches involved as Bill Self and the staff wear Hawaiian shirts on the sideline and players will wear the look during warm-ups.
Edited by Rachel Schultz
A commit going to school because it's Nike or Adidas or Under Armor is superficial, but so is the world we live in.

Before Kansas switched to Adidas in 2005, it was a Nike school. Of course it was about money and getting the most bang for the buck, but being an Adidas school hurts Kansas' chances during recruiting, especially for basketball.
The EA Sports Maui Invitational bracket play begins today and, coinciding with the games, Kansas and Adidas will unveil a Hawaiian-inspired line of footwear and apparel.
Look at Nike's football uniforms. They scream swag, especially the Pro Combat uniforms—they're unique and specially designed for each team. Heck, even the NFL is switching from Reebok to Nike next season.

Archie Goodwin, a five-star shooting guard in the class of 2012 as rated by Rivals.com, ruled out Baylor earlier this year partially because of its Adidas status.
Addidas just doesn't have the swag that Nike does. A majority of the players playing in Legends of the Phog were wearing Nike.
"I didn't like that they were an Adidas team, but that's not to say I wouldn't go to Kansas because Kansas is a great team." Goodwin told Rivals. "I can look over the Adidas thing — I own some Adidas stuff. I didn't like their colors, either. I don't like green and gold. That's ugly. When you got ugly colors like that, you gonna be Nike. Baylor has some ugly shoes, too."
At least he's being honest.

Aggies deliver quick knockout punch against Jayhawks
ETHAN PADWAY

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — For the third time in his two years at Kansas, Turner Gill took his team to his home state of Texas. For the third time, his team produced a disastrous result.
This trip, a mistake-prone first half left the Jayhawks in such a deep hole, they would have had a hard time climbing out of even if they showed up in the second half.
And when a play did bounce the right way for the Jayhawks,
giving them a glimmer of hope, the walls came crashing down soon after in their 61-7 loss on Saturday.
"We were a little flat, and I couldn't tell you why we were flat, but everything that could've went wrong, went wrong," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "It was difficult to fight back from some of those situations you put yourself in"
The trouble started in the first quarter when sophomore long snapper Tanner Gibas snapped the ball over the head of punter Ron Doherty and into the endzone. Doherty then kicked the ball out of the back of the end zone to prevent Texas A&M from scoring a touchdown.
The Kansas punting game, once highlighted as a bright spot on the team, didn't improve from there. Doherty's free kick following the safety went out of bounds, and the Jayhawks could not contain Aggie returner Dustin Harris, who returned three punks for 162 yards and one touchdown.
The Aggie defense kept the Kansas run game in check, forcing the Jayhawks into third-and-long. But in the first half, the Jayhawks responded, converting seven of 13 third downs, including twice with more than 10 yards to go.
"We had one or two guys that were different as far as personnel-wise," Gill said. "But, again, guys need to go out there and make tackles and for some reason we just didn't get it done."
But penalties and other mistakes hurt any chance Kansas had. Mistakes like the shotgun snap flying back into freshman running back Tony Pierson as he ran behind the offensive line,
sending the ball into the arms of the Aggie defenders at the line of scrimmage.
"I think the crowd kind of go to us," sophomore running back James Sims said. "Just the yelling and all that. We false-started and put ourselves in a bind, then you miss a block and it can cause a turnover right there."
With the Kansas offense shooting itself in the foot and the punting game unable to pin the Aggies deep in their own end, the Jayhawks relied on their defense to come up with big stops.
And they responded the same way they have all season: Allowing A&M to move down the field quickly and demoralizing the Jayhawks.
Aggie quarterback Ryan Tannehill used the strong performances of his running backs to take advantage of play fakes that
left receivers open over the middle. Tannehill completed 21 of 26 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns.
"We had a couple of busts," minor safety Bradley McDougald said. "We had a guy out for a week so we had to fill in and had some guys playing new positions and playing the side of the ball they normally don't play on."
Coming off of a narrow loss against Baylor, the Jayhawks regressed against Texas A&M. Under Gill, the Jayhawks have been outscored 159-14 in the three games they've played in Texas.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
"You've got to get your guys ready to play, and I didn't do a very good job of getting our guys to play at 11:10 today," Gill said. "So that's on me as a coach. I need to get my guys ready to play."

Last-second layup propels Jayhawks

With less than a minute remaining in its game at Wake Forest, the Kansas women's basketball team had a one possession lead. They struggled with turnovers throughout the game, which kept it close. As the clock ticked down, Wake Forest took the lead after a threepoint play, but with five seconds left in the game. Kansas sophomore guard Keena Mays hit the game-winning layup.
"For her to not settle with a shot on that last play, but go in and make a play, I am really glad she did that," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "She stepped up and did what she needed to do to help us get a win."
Kansas hung on to defeat Wake Forrest in a 74-73 bout that marked its first road game of the season. The Jayhawks improved to 3-0 on the season.
The layhawks gave up runs at the end of each half to the Demon Deacons. They led by as many as 16 points in the second half before letting the lead dwinkle down and disappear, finding themselves down by one point on the last possession. Kansas committed 28 turnovers, a big reason why its lead dissipated in the second half.
The Jayhawks played another physical game. Junior forward Carolyn Davis and Goodrich were both injured, but returned to the game. Davis hit her head when she drove to the basketball and fell on the floor, and Goodrich was treated for an ankle injury in the second half.
"We were just sloppy, and casual and careless," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There is still no excuse for 28."
Goodrich continued to fight, recording a career-high seven assists. She finished the game with 10 points, seven steals, and six rebounds to round out her performance.
After sitting out the majority of the first half with foul trouble, Davis scored quickly in the second half. Davis committed her second foul with 13:41 remaining in the first period, but started for Kansas after halftime and scored nine points in the first four minutes of the half.
Davis finished the game with 21 points and five rebounds. Nineteen of her 21 points were scored in the second half.
"It was frustrating, but I came in for the second half ready to dominate," Davis said. "I hadn't been a factor in the first half, and I knew I needed to be in the second half for
4
the team so I just came out playing my game."
The Jayhawks hit only one shot from behind the arc, which drew the focus to the play of the front court. Sophomore forward Tania Jackson and senior forward Aishah Sutherland both contributed double figure scoring. Jackson scored 15 points while Sutherland followed up with 11.
A perfect 14 of 14 performance from the free throw line in the first half allowed Kansas to stay in the game despite 17 turnovers. They led at halftime by one point. In the second half, they shot 17 of 22 from the court.
"When we are driving, we are getting fouled," Davis said. "Our free throw shooting the last couple games has been going really well."
The Jayhawks will travel to Stillwater, Okla. to attend the memorial service for Kurt Budke and Miranda Serna, the Oklahoma State coaches who died in a plane crash Friday night in Arkansas. From there, the Jayhawks will return home to host the BTI Tip-Off Classic during Thanksgiving Break. They will play Lamar on Friday at 7 p.m., IUUP1 on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Florida Atlantic University on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Undersheriff Steve Hornberner said that officers from the Douglas County Sheriff's Department volunteered Thursday night along with officers from Lawrence Police Department, KU Public Safety Office and Alcoholic Beverage Control. The task force cited 22 people as being minors in possession Thursday night and 11 Saturday night.
Fake ID 101 task forces patrolled area bars and restaurants on Thursday and Saturday nights.
The Kansas Department of Transportation provides the grant funding for the program. Jordan said grants are given on a semesterly basis and this was the third semester a local task force received funding. The program doesn't know if it will receive funding again until the end of this year or early next year.
Jen Jordan, director of prevention at Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, said depending on how much funding is left and how many officers are available, at least one more task force will patrol this semester.
Law enforcement agencies couldn't comment on how many

offers participated or which establishments they checked, but Jordan said in the past, the agencies normally provide two officers per agency. She said 11 establishments were checked Thursday night.
"The task force can and will go anywhere that is licensed to sell alcohol," Jordan said. This includes restaurants and catered events. During home games, police concentrate on the area around Memorial Stadium and the surrounding neighborhoods. On other weekends, they focus on local bars, liquor stores and house parties.
She said the task force has been part of an ongoing campaign to reduce underage drinking, and it's comprised of four agencies: Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff, KU Public Safety Office and the Kansas Department of Revenue's Alcohol Beverage Control agency. Not all of the agencies can participate in every task force.
The Douglas County Sheriff Department couldn't join on Saturday night, and Jordan said the KU Public Safety Office typically don't participate on game days or if there is a large event on campus.

Thanksgiving is time for family, friends
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
April showers bring May flowers, but what do Mayflowers bring? Pilgrims.
Although the Pilgrims' feast with the Wampanoag tribe is typically considered the reason for Thanksgiving Day, the roots for the holiday actually run much deeper.
Kira Meitl, a freshman from Oberlin, sees Thanksgiving as a time that brings family and friends together.
"It's a day to put materialistic and work matters aside," she said.
was a much bloodier story" Earle said.
Meitl plans to go home as soon as her classes are finished on Tuesday and will spend the break with her family watching football, resting, riding horses and hunting.
Thanksgiving was not proclaimed a national holiday until 1863 — in the midst of the Civil War — by President Lincoln. Although various days had been declared days of thanks by leaders
since the beginning of American history, Lincoln made it a national fixture to be celebrated on the final Thursday of November. In the declaration, the Pilgrims and their feast were not even mentioned.
It was not until 1941 that Congress declared the fourth Thursday of November a federal holiday — in the rare event of a fifth Thursday in November — to allow for a longer holiday shopping season, according to the U.S Census Bureau.
"In the most bloody part of the most dim war in our history is when Lincoln prescribes that we stop, pause, and give thanks," said Jonathan Earle, professor of history. "Instead of declaring it in triumph of victory, he said even in the middle of war it's important to give thanks."
Meitl is thankful for her family and where she grew up,which she appreciates especially on Thanksgiving.
"It's important because you have to realize things aren't just given to you in life," Meilt said. "Although you may think your life is horrible sometimes, you still have a lot to be thankful for."
She said good ways to show appreciation include simply saying "thank
you" doing good deeds for others and practicing humility.
Per tradition, the Pilgrims had a great deal to be thankful for when they celebrated their feast of Thanksgiving in 1621. Settling in an area of good farm land, they survived a harsh winter with the assistance of Squanto and his tribe. While many Native American tribes were hostile to European settlers, the Wampanoags used their knowledge of English culture and language to help the Pilgrims.
Unfortunately, this peace did not last long, as the Massachusetts Bay Colony fought a war of annihilation against the same tribe that helped them 13 years later.
Tony Ramey, a sophomore from Olathe, plans to reflect on all that he is grateful for this Thursday. Family tradition is such that each member states what they are thankful for during dinner.
"It's funny we celebrated a relatively unique moment of solidarity when the real history of Puritans
"Being thankful is something you should do year round," Ramey said. "Take advantage of the day and actually think about what you're thankful for besides getting some good food."

Black Friday: Are you ready?

MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
Not long after families set time aside to give thanks, the holiday shopping season kicks off with Black Friday. Hoping for increased revenue and profits — going into the black, instead of the red — retailers are opening extra early to accommodate the kick off of the season of shopping.
Many popular stores, including Macy's and Best Buy, are opening at midnight this year, while others — Walmart, Toys 'R' Us and Hastings — are opening Thursday night. After opening at 5 a.m. last year, Best Buy sales associate Erin Thomas hopes the change will make handling customers' needs easier. In years past, early morning openings have resulted in angry customers frustrated from lack of sleep and waiting in long lines.
"It won't be as bad this year because people will be staying up late instead of getting up early," Thomas said. "Usually when people are well rested they're less irritable, and it's easier to shop when you're less irritated and not so rushed."
While many deals are available online, some discounts are only offered in stores. Thomas expects buyers to be lined up five to six hours
before opening to vie for the discounts, such as half-priced televisions.
Kohl's department store is also opening at midnight and is staffing every employee to work — six times the number of those staffed on a normal day. Erica Olson, customer service area representative, recommends customers scope out what they are after black Friday.
"Come in beforehand and make a plan," Olson said. "Know what you're
looking for and prepare to wait in line."

Art and design building evacuated monday
Smoke alarms caused a brief evacuation of the Art and Design Building at around 4:10 p.m. Monday. Students waited outside for about 20 minutes while the building was evacuated and the fire department investigated the cause of the alarm. Some students and faculty said they believed smoke from the foundry set off the alarms. John Hachmeister, associate professor of sculpture, was supervising students in the buildings foundry as they worked with molten aluminum. The foundry is a workshop for students to melt and mold metals such as aluminum and bronze. Hachmeister said the foundry's furnace burns as hot as 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
"I assume it's us." he said.
Hachmeister said a piece of wood began to smoke when a student mistakenly tried to use it to cool down an aluminum mold. He said the smoke may have drifted into an adjacent wood shop and set off the alarms. The foundry itself does not have smoke alarms, he said.
Hachmeister said the building experienced fewer false alarms after a new system was installed last year, and that he would close the door to the wood shop to prevent more disturbances.
"It's a foundry," he said. "It would be crazy to have smoke detectors in here."
Nick Troll, a junior from St. Louis, was working in the industrial design studio, when the alarms went off. He said he thought smoke from the foundry set off the alarms, but the evacuation didn't inconvenience him.

A study group on Monday proposed that Ohio ban new ownership of venomous snakes, monkeys, tigers and other dangerous animals with only limited exceptions and give state officials' the authority to take from private property any wildlife that's being kept illegally.
Ohio group proposes dangerous animal ban
The group has held expedited meetings in private since last month, when police were forced to kill 48 wild animals — including endangered Bengal tigers after their owner freed them from his Zanesville farm and then committed suicide.
A summary of the group's input and state agencies' recommendations for new regulations was obtained Monday by The Associated Press after the panel's final meeting.
The working group's recommendations for updating Ohio's laws are due to the
Associated Press
governor by Nov. 30. Its finalized report will be sent next week.
The group's framework for legislation suggests the ban start on Jan. 1, 2014. Owners would have to meet new temporary safety standards before then and also register their animals with the state within 60 days of the law's effective date. Zoo, circuses and research facilities would be exempt. Animal sanctuaries with restricted animals would have to be licensed and regulated.
The office of state Sen
The panel's recommendations are only suggestions to state lawmakers and Gov. John Kasich, a first-term Republican who convened the group in April to get their input. The members' ideas and the recommendations from the Ohio Department of National Resources and state Department of Agriculture would have to be drafted into legislation, heard before committees and passed by the legislature before becoming law.
Troy Balderson, a Zanesville native, has said he would pursue legislation as soon as the working group made its recommendations.
Under the group's recommendations, owners would face new criminal and civil penalties for keeping dangerous wildlife against state rules. And those who improperly release dangerous animals would also be punished. Details of any fines or jail time weren't included in Monday's report.
C
Selling wild animals wouldn't be restricted prior to the date of the ban, though the summary hints that a tougher crackdown on the sale could soon follow.
CA H
The group recommended that officials be given new authority to inspect and enforce the law on private property where dangerous animals are housed. In addition, the state would also set up a way for owners to voluntarily surrender the creatures.

Hawks for Health kicks off hygiene drive for those in need

Braving hills and 30-degree weather, volunteers from the Center for Community Outreach group, Hawks for Health, went door-to-door through Lawrence neighborhoods Monday night in an effort to collect hygiene products for community members in need.
Nikki Boggess, Hawks for Health
co-coordinator, spent the evening distributing donation bags for the inagural Hawks for Health Hygiene Drive. The group will return in one week to collect what they hope will be full bags.
"We're going to reach out to about a hundred households," Boggess, a junior from Kearney, Mo., said. "It's chilly, but it could be worse."
The groups' collaboration is the first of its kind, said Tiffany Nguyen, a junior from Garden City and co-coordinator for the Jubilee Café. Nguyen said she anticipates 80 to 100 people will arrive at the Jubilee Café for food and the hygiene supplies.

Bite-size takeover: desserts' new trend
MAGGIE YOUNG editor@kansan.com
Each year, as the holiday season approaches, the desserts seem to increase in size with endless peppermint-coated, chocolate-dipped confections getting more and more grand. This year might signal the start of something new. Desserts are leading a new bite-size indulgence movement this winter and the National Restaurant Association's 2011 survey ranked bite-size desserts as the second most popular dessert trend.
Local Lawrence food spots have embraced the bite-size movement. Dairy Queen, Starbucks and Cupcake Construction Company offer smaller desserts ranging from mini cupcakes to down-sized ice cream treats. The bite-size confections allow for appropriately portioned indulgences for customers. In "What's Hot in 2011," a chef survey by the National Restaurant Association, mint desserts were ranked as the 35th of 226 food trends.
Massachusetts Street's
Dairy Queen manager, Teri Davenport, said that customers wanted a smaller version of their signature Blizzard ice cream treat. Dairy Queen answered requests and created the Mini Blizzard, which boasts a lower calorie count. The Blizzard calorie content varies on the flavor, but the seasonal Pumpkin Pie Mini Blizzard contains 350 calories, which is 200 calories less than the regular small size.
"The Mini Blizzard is just the right size for the holiday season," Davenport said. "And it's only 7 ounces of ice cream compared to the regular small that contains 12 ounces."
The Mini Blizzards come in all of the traditional flavors including Heath, M&M's, Reese's, Snickers, Butterfinger and Cappuccino Heath. Look out for the Candy Cane Chill Mini Blizzard, a soft serve treat with candy cane pieces and chocolate chunks, which comes out Dec. 1.
Starbucks on Massachusetts Street will also offer peppermint mini desserts along with other delights in their line of petite confec-
tions. Its petite desserts co.
of cake pops, whoopie pies,
and mini cupcakes.
John Shackelford, the manager at Starbucks, said that he anticipated popularity with the petite desserts throughout winter because the smaller pastries hit the spot for fewer than 200 calories.
"Customers can satisfy their sweet tooth without the guilt." Shackelford said. "They get that convenience factor of walking out with a delicious cake pop, which has the same feel as a lollipop."
The featured cake pop this season is of the peppermint variety. Shackelford describes it as a chocolate cake dipped in white chocolate and covered with peppermint crystals. Starbucks also offers a seasonal whope pie, an 190-calorie mini chocolate crème pie with vanilla cream frosting and cocoa cakes.
Miniature cupcakes also fall under the category of petite desserts. Michael Kricfield, president of Cupcake Construction Company on MassachusettsStreet, said that its mini cupcakes are the most popular item on the menu because they contain fewer than 100 calories. Many of their customers just want a bite of something sweet when they come to the store.
"In terms of volume, three of our minis are roughly equivalent to one standard size cupcake." Kriesfield said. "It's the perfect size."
Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that she thinks the bite-size desserts are smart to have from a nutritional standpoint. The holiday season is full of tempting sweets, and the miniature delights at Dairy Queen, Starbucks and Cupcake Construction Company offer a portion-controlled alternative.
"It's smarter to have the real chocolate cupcake that is just a couple bites worth," Chapman said. "I don't think small amounts of high fat, high sugar foods hurt you if your overall your diet is healthy."

Employee admits stealing $30,000 in cash and meals
LAWRENCE — A former employee at a local Dillions grocery store has admitted stealing cash, meals and other items with a total value of more than $30,000 from his former employer.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports reports that 20-year-old Michael Everett Smith pleaded guilty Monday to one count of felony theft, Smith, of rural Lawrence, told District Judge Malone that most of what he stole was cash, out of a register at a Dillons where he worked.
Smith's lawyer expects a sentence of probation when Smith goes back before the judge on Jan. 6.
Prosecutors said the thefts went on from May 2010 to March of this year, when a Dillons official called Lawrence police.

Yoder, who was the University's student body president in 1998-1999, detailed his collaborated work in championing the creation of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. He also described learning the ropes of governance that now help him navigate Congress.

was great to have a candid conversation about leadership skills and principles."
Rivalries were set aside for the weekend, mirroring the conference's overarching theme, "Synergy: A Path Towards Empowerment."
Instead, student senate executives and senators focused on idea sharing and building connections between Big 12 schools, including new addition TCU and departing members Texas A&M and Missouri.

Velasco said unlike other schools' student organizations, Kansas' student senate functions as an official branch of the University with 20 percent of all boards and committees made up of students.
Outside of working toward a similar goal, senators noticed a distinct difference between the student senates of Kansas and other Big 12 schools.
"Ultimately, our student governments are going to strengthen each other."
"Everyone seemed really committed to the idea to keep things going beyond this once-a-year meeting," Velasco said.
"Not to degrade the other schools but we are the most like a professional political organization with paid positions, close interactions with the administration and a real say in what
Velasco says that his new goal is to instate a Big 12 relations officer to keep open communication between fellow conference universities or otherwise assign those duties to an existing position.
"At KU and in the real world, organizations are run by people who show up to get the work done," Yoder said. "There shouldn't be any task that's too low. You can accomplish a lot of toys by effort alone."
Johnson expressed interest in increasing student senate's communication with the student body through listservs or regular newsletters.

That said, "Talk That Talk" is not entirely sex-obsessed For balance's sake, and because she's making music in the pop realm and beholden to relatively conservative mores, Rihanna on "Talk That Talk" also harnesses her producers and songwriters — including Dr. Luke, StarGate, Alex Kid, The-Dream and others — to focus love above the waist and how passion affects both the body and the mind. Throughout, she plays on the idea that we all want the same thing out of life — to be "drunk

Woman makes unholy attempt at smuggling
zor knives, a cell phone, ecstasy pills and more than 28 grams of cocaine.
LANCASTER, S.C. — Deputies in South Carolina say a woman used two hollowed-out Bibles to try to smuggle weapons, drugs and a cell phone to a prison inmate.
Deputies identified Jones as the person who mailed the package from a Kershaw post office. In her car, authorities found a loaded handgun, drugs, cell phones and cash.
Sherif Barry Faile said Monday authorities began investigating 28-year-old Shareca Latoya Jones earlier this month after a package mailed to Lieber Correctional Institution was returned to a post office in Lancaster. Inside the package were two Bibles containing ra-
Jones is facing drug and contraband charges. She was released from jail on bond, and it wasn't known if she had an attorney.

New Rihanna album drops as her popularity increases
The 23-year-old star, who's been gliding toward the edges of pop propriety since her first hit in 2005, has progressively pushed toward NC-17 territory, moving from the insinuation of "Umbrella" to the naughtier "Hard" and the Caribbean-flavored murder ballad "Man Down," from 2010's "Loud." The parental warning stickers have done wonders for her career, but the sauciness sometimes borders on shtick.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Were she willing to tip her hand a little earlier, Rihanna might have considered kicking off her new album, "Talk That Talk," with "Watch n' Learn," which appears near the end of the 11-song release and best captures the Barbados-born singer's most prominent obsession. On it, Rihanna, who over the last half-decade has risen to become one of the most successful pop artists in the world, outlines the myriad ways in which she'll have her way with a lover.
On the bed, on the couch, on the floor, till you're making faces, till you can't take it no more, slow, until her lipstick ain't up on her face no more. Rihanna reels off her carnal intentions with an impressive though not entirely believable candor.

on love" (as she sings in a song of the same name).
She eases into her bed over the course of the album, first with a loving confession — "You Da One," a Dr. Luke-produced jam with a hint of Jamaican roots reggae and a punchy synthetic rhythm — then with wandering desire and heartbroken regret. There are odes to bad love — "We Found Love" — and universal love — "We All Want Love." "Drunk on Love," which samples the slow-burn melody of the XX's "Intro", finds Rihanna confessing that love is the only thing she needs.
Americas. It's a stylistic accent that she's carried with her from Barbados, though she employs it with her collaborators enough to suggest her lineage without alienating Middle America. She can slip into a convincing patois when so inclined but seldom does so on "Talk That Talk."
She delivers her sentiments inside a pan-American pop sound with a hint of the musical conversation between the Caribbean and
Rather, Rihanna wants her music to hang, and she does so by continuing to mine the connection between R&B, hiphop and house. A few of these tracks, most obviously "We Found Love," her collaboration with Scottish producer Calvin Harris, and "Where Have You Been," wouldn't be out of place at Electric Daisy Carnival.

DANCE
The festival, whose sponsors include the national and city governments, upends the rigid stereotypes of the dance.
Tango Festival swaps roles
And some couples switch roles, a woman leading while the man follows.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUENOS AIRES — Sammy Ellis can dance the tango any way she wants, with anyone she wants. And the California woman has come to Argentina to celebrate that at a festival known as Tango Queer.
"Normally "the man leads and the woman is led. In Tango Queer, those roles are flexible," said Augusto Balizano, one of the organizers. "There can be men who lead, men who follow, women who lead and women who follow."
If it sounds odd to some, it actually harks back to the beginnings of tango, which arose at the end of the 19th century in the suburbs of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, Uruguay. At the start, both partners were men.
Ellis, 71, said that sometimes she likes to lead, other times to follow. Tango is a dance of the heart, not the head, she said.
Buenos Aires has hosted an international festival yearly since 2006, mixing seminars, films, classes, performances and social dancing.
The festival began in Hamburg, Germany, at the start of the century, and versions of the event have been held since then in Stockholm, Berlin, Copenhagen, San Francisco and Mexico City.

Fox News, fried chicken and watermelon
I would like to respond to some of the comments in Chance Carmichael's column, "Fox News' perception of racism concerning" published yesterday. Some of the commentary in the ending anecdote is hypocritical and biased.
Carmichael writes about "a school in the south that decided to serve fried chicken and watermelon on Martin Luther King Day." While Carmichael
complains that "this kind of racism does de-humanize these people," it seems that he is the only one inferring that there was a particular reason fried chicken and watermelon were served. He claims that it was a racist gesture because of the particular holiday for which the meal was served. This rules out the possibility that the food was chosen because it is popular in the south. Being originally from the south, I can clarify that watermelon and fried chicken are indeed well-liked in the region.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This is just one of the examples of how Carmichael infers racially charged meaning from words or actions that are irrelevant. While some of his points earlier in the article may have their merits, I would like to point out that adding the story at the end is an example
of being racist in a slightly different way. Discussing irrelevant points when arguing for or against a cause only weakens the main argument. Plus, would you call an international student racist if they served you (an American) cheeseburgers and fries?

Some things are better left unsaid; Apparently no one told Rush Limbaugh or (insert loudmouth celebrity name here). I believe that to be quite true although sometimes I don't realize that until it's too late. I'm sure many of us tend to put our feet in our mouths on a regular basis, but there is a new arena in which this occurs more and more often. I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not talking about the GOP debates. I'm talking about Twitter.
By Jordan Gormley
jgormley@kansan.com
I've never heard the following phrase before, so I'm going to assume that I am responsible for its existence. Some things are better left un-tweeted. It may sound pretty simple, but somebody should have said it sooner.
Before I get into the meat and potatoes of tweets that I find senseless, I have a couple bones to pick with the citizens inhabiting the world of Twitter. First of all, stop saying hashtag in verbal conversation and quit putting those annoying little number signs all over Facebook. It makes you look foolish because a hashtag serves no purpose on Facebook. Secondly, begging for retweets suggests desperation, which is unbecoming for anyone. The worst case is when the beggar tries to butter up their favorite tweeter with compliments directly before asking for a retweet. Please refrain with continuing on with this senseless banter. It depresses me, and what good does a retwitter really do you anyway? This last bit should really go without saying, but evidently the message hasn't gotten across. Your bathroom is not a modeling studio, and you should avoid taking your own pictures. You know who you are.
It felt good to get that out there. Now I'm sure we have all read a tweet and couldn't figure out why a person thought he or she just HAD to share that with all 36 followers. They can come in many forms: pointless, cheap, and some that just take things a little too far.
While I may agree that I get excited during McRib season, I certainly do not agree that eating
a McRib is worth tweeting about. Not only do you lose the minute of your life that you spent typing it, but you take a little bit of everybody else's time too when, much to their dismay, have to read about your McRib experience. If you're wondering whether a tweet is pointless or not, stop wondering. If you have to ask yourself, then you should just let that one go.
My favorite tweets are the passive aggressive type that originated as angry Facebook statuses. You can pretend to sneak in a low blow, but more often than not it comes off as childish. Sniping only works if you can pull it off really well. Apparently a lot of folks think they are pretty darn good at it.
I once was told to temper my actions with wisdom. Maybe it is also wise to temper your tweets with discretion. Some tweets just go a little too far. Whether fueled by alcohol, outrage or simple tomfooilery, tweeting about your stool is never okay. The same goes for questionable pictures, outlandish comments and events that put your moral integrity into question.
While we have all been victims of our own tweets, we can all work together to put a stop to the nonsense that is running amok on the site. Think before you tweet. If you find yourself unable to hold back, then maybe it would be prudent to take a trip to Brazil and try hand-fishing in piranha infested waters.

GOP scrambles for candidate
Amid mounting sexual harassment allegations and concerns about his ignorance of foreign policy, Herman Cain is headed in the same direction travelled by Donald Trump, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas - south.
By Luke Brinker
lbrinker@kansan.com
So what are conservatives to do when they don't particularly like former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and their latest flavor of the month is best by woman problems? Turn to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, of course.
Gingrich, currently on his third traditional marriage, presents himself as an ardent defender of "family values" and, despite a onetime six-figure debt to Tiffany's and receiving nearly $2 million from the right-wing bogeyman of tea party-style fiscal conservatism, Freddie Mac. What more could the conservative rank-and-file want?
Quite a bit more. Pundits and prognosticators are already breathlessly referring to Gingrich as the "new frontrunner," unable to distinguish fluctuations in poll numbers from the fundamentals of each candidate's campaign. When we move beyond the former and focus on the latter, it becomes clear that Gingrich poses no threat to Romney, who continues to hold steady in the polls.
Te party types loathe Romney for his history of U-turns on core principles. They'll rally behind his candidacy when he wins the nomination, but are unwilling to settle on him just yet. When the conservative impurities of candidates like Perry
and Cain emerged, their candidacies flagged. Romney looked little worse in comparison. The story will be the same with Gingrich.
Gingrich burst onto the national scene in 1994 when voters swept Republicans into strong congressional majorities and he assumed leadership of the House of Representatives. As a fierce critic of President Bill Clinton and of all things librul, he gained a reputation as a hardline conservative. What few people remembered was that in the 1970s, he made his first congressional run as a liberal Republican. Once a supporter of liberal Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, R-NY, Gingrich converted to conservatism just in time to benefit from the 1980 Reagan Revolution.
Although Gingrich has been reliably conservative on most policy issues for the past three decades, he strayed often enough that the tea party will become disillusioned before too long. In what he now describes as a mistake, he appeared in a climate change ad with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the she-devil from San Francisco. In 2009, he endorsed liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava over a
more conservative challenger in a special House election in New York. (Yes, committed partisans pav attention to these things.)
And there's that almost $2 million from Freddie Mac, which Gingrich claims he advised as an "historian." As an aspiring historian myself, I'd like to believe the profession is that lucrative, but I'm more inclined to believe Freddie Mac executives who said they cultivated Gingrich to boost their ties to congressional Republicans.
The facility with which Gingrich shamelessly lies about the Freddie payoff speaks to another flaw that will doom his candidacy - his unmitigated narcissism. Politics is a field full of people with a fair amount of self-regard, but Gingrich puts them all to shame. To take but the latest example, consider Gingrich's remarks on his proposals to rein in what he sees as a left-wing federal judiciary. He called his proposals the "boldest statement" since Abraham Lincoln condemned the pro-slavery Dred Scott decision.
But will the GOP hand the nomination to Romney, a man so many hard-liners detest? It's happened before – in 2008, in fact, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. And Romney continues to have formidable financial and state-based advantages. To paraphrase McCain's infamous remarks on the economy in 2008, the fundamentals of Romney's campaign remain sound.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Thomas Robinson, junior forward
The junior forward dazzled as he went for 20 points and 12 rebounds in 35 minutes of play. Kansas winning the EA Sports Maui invitational will hinge on Robinson staying on the floor and being productive. He limited his fouls to three against the Hoyas by playing smart defense and not committing fouls 40 feet away from the basket.

GAME TO FORGET
Jeff Withey, junior center
Witley played only 13 minutes because of foul trouble. He picked up his fifth on a pretty questionable call, one that announcer Jay Blas called, "Iame," with 8:10 in the game, which left Kansas relatively small. He scored two points and grabbed six rebounds, but he will need to stay on the floor with a long and athletic UCLA team.

PRIME PLAYS
FIRST HALF (SCORE AFTER PLAY)
5. 33- Thomas Robinson sets a screen for Elijah Johnson, rolls to the basket and catches the lob from Johnson for the dunk. 24-21 Kansas.
0.05- Kevin Young gambles on a potential steal on a last second pass to Otto Porter. Young misses, giving Porter a wide open three-point attempt and he nails it.
35-32 Kansas.
SECOND HALF
3. 11- After Kansas failed to convert on a three-on-one opportunity, Georgetown gets into transition and Jason Clark hits a three-pointer, cutting the Kansas lead to 61-58.
0. 16- With a two-point lead and under thirty seconds remaining, Kansas moves the ball to avoid the Georgetown pressure. Travis Reelfon is fouled and converts both free throws, giving Kansas the 67-63 lead.

Robinson creates havoc again
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Thomas Robinson was expected to be a consistent performer this season. He wowed professional scouts this summer at numerous camps, and with the departure of forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris from last year's team, Robinson was given the chance to impress those scouts this year on the court. It's still very early, but Robinson is certainly showing that the preseason accolades, which included first-team All-American honors by CBS, were solid predictions.
After the season-opening victory against Towson, in which Robinson finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds, he was asked if he could average a double-double this season. His response mimicked his often-seen but rarely-heard mentality both on and off the court.
Through three games, Robinson has lived up to that, scoring double-digit points and rebounds in every contest. After his 20 points and 12 rebounds against Georgetown Monday night, he's now averaging 16.3 points and 11.6 rebounds, in the face of double-teams by opposing defenses. He faced the same kind of pressure against the Hoya defense in the Jayhawks' 67-63 win. The Hoyas mixed double-teams with aggressive help defense and zones all night in attempts to slow down the 6-foot-9 Robinson.
"I don't see why not," he said.
with just three fouls and was able to play with the veracity to which college basketball fans have become accustomed.
Nothing seemed to work for Georgetown. Robinson had five dunks on the night, including a trio of alley-oops which brought the pro-Kansas crowd to a roar.
Edited by Joel Petterson
A noticeable improvement in Robinson's game has been his moments away from the basket. He's added a jump shot to his repertoire, and while he hasn't taken too many of them this season, his comfort on the perimeter added another dimension to his game which opposing coaches and players didn't see last year.
On multiple occasions against Georgetown, Robinson left the paint to set a screen for a guard. Because of the possible threat outside, Hoya defenders had to come
out a little further than he might like to guard Robinson.
It gave Robinson the extra second he needed to slip to the basket, catch the lob in mid-air and finish the dunk.
The one question many fans
had with Robinson was the early fouls he encountered against Towson and Kentucky. In both games, he was forced to play somewhat timidly on defense after committing early fouls. That wasn't the case Monday night, as he finished

Classic Turkey Day plays in history
MORNING BREW
Turkkeys and touchdowns are a synonymous Thanksgiving combination that stuffs Americans to satisfaction. Throughout the years, NFL games on Thanksgiving have whet American's appetite and have become a de facto Turkey Day meal. Many games were extra dry and unbearable boring like cold or leftover turkey, but some were as scrumptious as a pumpkin pie dessert.
By C. J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
Some players' careers have been defined by their brilliance or blunders on Thanksgiving games because the entire nation has eyes squarely on the few football games taking place on the national day of thanks. Here are some indelible moments from previous Thanksgiving games that enthrall football fans to this day.
COIN FLIP FLOP: STEELERS VS. LI-
ONS, NOV 26,1998
This was arguably the most infamous and controversial coin flip in the history of the NFL. Going into overtime tied 16-16 with the Detroit Lions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, on the road, had to choose heads or tails on the coin toss. Steelers running back and team captain Jerome Bettis choose tails while referee Phil Luckett tossed the coin in the air, but Luckett mistakenly heard Bettis yell heads. The result of the coin toss was tails, yet the Lions won the toss, not the Steelers. Bettis, who was
demonstratively puzzled and irate, could do nothing to persuade Luckett. The Lions chose to receive and kicked a field goal on their first drive to win the game 19-16. Since that game, teams are now required to make a coin toss decision before the referee tosses the coin.
MOSS THE BOSS: VIKINGS VS. COWBOYS. NOV. 26. 1998
Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Randy Moss had a little revenge on his mind when the Vikings took on the Dallas Cowboys. Moss pledged that if Jerry Jones and the Cowboys didn't select him eighth in the NFL Draft, then held make them pay every time he played against the Cowboys. Moss backed up his promise emphatically. Moss scorched the Cowboys secondary; garnering three receptions for 163 yards, but what made his day special was that
all three of his catches were touchdowns. Moss's three touchdown receptions were for 51, 56 and 56 yards. The rookie sensation dazzled the national audience with his incendiary speed and athleticism. The Vikings beat the Cowboys 46-36 and set the record for most points scored in a regular season with 556. The record was eventually broken by the 2007 New England Patriots, who scored 589 points.
football. The Dolphins got the ball at the Dallas 1-yard line and attempted another field goal. This one was good, and the Dolphins won the game, 16-14. That Cowboys defeat would be their last one of the season, winning the rest of their games en route to their fourth Super Bowl title.
LETT IT GO: DOLPHINS VS. COWBOYS,
NOV. 25, 1993
Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett has his fair share of comedic errors, one of them in Super Bowl XXVII, and the other in their 1993 Thanksgiving Day game against the Miami Dolphins. Down 14-13, the Dolphins attempted a 41-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the game. The kick was blocked and the ball slid across the field toward the end zone. While Cowboys players were celebrating, Lett decided to recover the ball. He slid on the icy playing field and muffled the recovery, allowing the Dolphins to recover the live

COMMENTARY
Nightmare is almost finished
Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
For Kansas football fans, each Saturday has been like waking up from a bad dream. But don't worry, the nightmare will come to an end this weekend.
For the 120th and perhaps final time, the Jayhawks will take on Missouri in the Border Showdown, and Kansas may not even stand a chance against its century-old rival.
After putting together two consecutive close games against Iowa State and Baylor, the Jayhawks responded with arguably their worst showing in an already embarrassing season. Texas A&M absolutely dismantled the Jayhawks, mercifully winning 61-7. Kansas only managed to gain 1.2 yards per carry and trailed 44-0 at halftime.
Kansas' abysmal performance at Texas A&M virtually eliminated any existing hope when it comes to capturing a conference win in 2011. For a 2-9 team, Saturday's game against Missouri gives Kansas a chance to end the season on a winning note. However, coach Turner Gill has not shown that his teams can play with superior talent.
Missouri opens this game as a 22.5-point favorite, but the jayhawks' ability to win is not my concern. I am more worried about the embarrassment that will likely take place at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.
As much as Kansas would love to send Missouri off to the Southeastern Conference with a loss, I don't see any way that happens. It all comes down to the weekly lack of preparation on the side of Gill's coaching staff. Instead of designing schemes and actually sending a prepared team onto the field, Gill has been preaching the same clichés and motivation tactics that do absolutely nothing to improve the team on the field.
I am a firm believer that coaches need at least three years to rebuild a program, but Gill has not showed any signs that he is cut out to coach at this level. He may be a great person of high moral standards, but he is not the right man for the job.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel was recently arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, and although Gill would more than likely never make that mistake, Pinkel's winning pedigree only cost him a one-game suspension. Pinkel will coach on the sidelines at Arrowhead Stadium.
I am also curious to see if fans' displeasure with the coaching staff will keep them away from Arrow-head. This is the last Border Showdown, so the Kansas faithful should do everything it can to keep Missouri from dominating the 76,000-seat stadium. On the other hand, judging by the recent lackluster turnouts at Memorial Stadium, there will be very little crimson and blue in the stands.
The chances of Kansas earning its third win of the season are extremely slim, but fans should take comfort in knowing that the nightmare is nearly over.

LAHINA, Hawaii — A week removed from a loss in New York and a few long-distance flights, the Jayhawks never had a second to catch a breath of the fresh tropical air.
Georgetown wouldn't let them.
Kansas slipped out of the Lahaina Civic Center with a 67-63 victory, but coach Bill Self couldn't sit down on the sideline. He never had a lead that would enable an easy rest on the bench.
Carried by junior forward Hollis Thompson, a stringy skyrocket who shoots 3-pointers with mechanical form, the Hoyas never relented, even if the team rarely led. Thompson dazzled outside, swishing several contested shots from deep, yet never shied away from taking it to heart of the Kansas defense. Georgetown coach John Thompson III orchestrated his typical Princeton-style offense, lulling the Jayhawks with passes to and fro, screws that snuck from behind and plenty of patience.
Kansas had to work around varying zone defenses and presses that clogged lanes and denied the
right to dribble. At times, Georgetown's formations dictated the pace of the game and morphed Kansas into a slower half-court team. Without the privilege of steady fast breaks, Self needed his shooters to step up.
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor obliged, proving that his long summer of shooting was worth the effort. He knocked down all three of his 3-point attempts, establishing himself as a far more complete player than he's ever been. Then there was a brief scare.
three, but fell to the floor grabbing his calves. With players, referees and trainers around him, Taylor repeated: "I can't do it." After stretching on the bench for a few minutes, Taylor returned. Just as he had done before the fall, he energized an offense that was often dumbfounded by Georgetown.
With 14:28 left in the game, Taylor jumped to defend a Hoya
Under Taylor's lead, junior forward Thomas Robinson thrived. His experimentation with midrange shooting produced average results, but he didn't need it. Instead, he hung by the basket, where he's always been affective. Alley-oop dunks and two-handed
rebounds came in bunches, as Robinson finished the game with 20 points and 12 rebounds.
The Hoyas didn't allow the Jay-hawks to sleepwalk through the contest. While the tight game may have been a product of sloppy basketball just as much as determination, a mere 15 minutes of pre-game warmups at a distant high school gym can do that to a team. And now, even after the victory, Kansas still can't fully rest, as UCLA awaits in the semi-finals on Tuesday.

Border Showdown is Kansas' bowl game
MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
When senior center Jeremiah Hatch's career is done, he'll have plenty of mementos to help him remember his time at Kansas.
Most notably, he has rings from the Orange Bowl in Miami and the Insight Bowl in Phoenix. But those games aren't what he will remember when he reminisces about playing at Kansas. Instead, he will think of playing Missouri.
And while the stakes are always at a premium when Kansas plays Missouri, this year's game will have even greater implications. As the Tigers prepare to leave the Big 12, the game will, in all likelihood, be the last time the two teams play in the foreseeable future.
"Those games are just unbelievable," Hatch said. "A lot of people think I would remember the Orange Bowl or Arizona. But those Missouri games, all of them. Even the ones we lost."
Coach Turner Gill has said that he doesn't think the Jayhawks will play Missouri in the future and other comments from Kansas officials have
indicated that this will be the last game in the 120-year rivalry.
Hatch said he couldn't imagine the two schools bringing the rivalry to a close.
"I wish those younger guys would get the chance of seeing some of the atmosphere of the game, realizing the importance
of the game,
the fun of the
game," Hatch
said. "You wish
those guys
would get to
see that."
Even though 119 games have been played in the history of
the series, it will all come down to number 120. The series history, although disputed, is tied at 55-55-9. Kansas and NCAA records have it that way, while the Missouri has the series record at 56-54-9 in the Tigers' favor.
"You want to get the win and have bragging rights for however long."
The dispute dates back to the 1960 Border War in which No. 1 Missouri played host to No. 11 Kansas, Kansas, led by two-time All-American John Hadl, defeated Missouri 23-7.
Kansas running back Bert Coan was later ruled ineligible by the Big Eight and had to forfeit the game. The NCAA ruled in 1999 that the game counts as a win for Kansas.
Either way, Saturday's edition of the rivalry carries weight.

Goodwill wasn't enough to overcome two lackluster seasons, as coach Turner Gill was fired Sunday afternoon by Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger.
After meeting with players Sunday night, Gill left out the back of the Anderson Family Football Complex in a car driven by his wife, with his daughter in the back seat. Following his meeting with Gill, sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb left the football complex in tears and only had kind words to say about his coach.
"We all know he loves us like he's our father," Webb said. "We're his sons."
Gill went 5-19 in his two years at Kansas and was 1-16 in Big 12 play.
"I have concluded that new leadership is necessary to place us on the path toward competing for championships in the Big 12 Conference," Zenger said in a statement. "I come to this conclusion reluctantly, because I have the utmost respect for Turner Gill as a quality individual who wants only the best for the young men he coaches."
Kansas Athletics owes Gill $6 million for the remaining three years on his contract. All four strength coaches for Kansas football have also been relieved of their duties, according to KU Athletics.
Recruiting coordinator and running backs coach Reggie Mitchell has been named interim head coach. Mitchell is in his second year as the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator for Kansas. He previously coached at Kansas from 1988-1996 under former coach Glen Mason. Mitchell returned to Kansas after five seasons with Illinois.
The announcement came fewer than 24 hours after the Jayhawks' season ending 24-10 loss to Missouri.
After the game, Kansas players and coaches alike defended Gill and his time at Kansas. Senior center Jeremiah Hatch had a statement for those who believe that Gill deserved to be fired after just two seasons.
"They probably don't know anything about football!" Hatch said following the game. "The guy is a good man and he wants to win, off the field and on the field."
Former Kansas Athletic Director Lew Perkins hired Gill in December of 2009 to replace former coach Mark Mangino. Perkins hired Gill from Buffalo, where Gill went 20-30 in his four seasons with the Bulls. Gill first took over a program at Buffalo that rivals.com called one of the three or four worst Football Bowl Subdivision programs in the nation. After going 7-17 in his first two seasons at Buffalo, Gill's team went 8-6 and won the Mid-America Conference championship. In his final year,
Buffalo went 5-7.
Even though Gill couldn't match the success he had at Buffalo in his two seasons at Kansas, Gill's final message to the media following the Missouri game showed his belief in the program, as though he expected to be coaching the team next season.
"I think we can be competitive next year," Gill said. "I think we have some players in here, we're going to put together good things, continue to improve, and we'll be ready to roll next year."
Even Gill's defensive coordinator, Vic Shealy, who oversaw the worst defense in college football this season, suggested that Gill simply needed more time. Shealy has worked for two college hall of fame coaches in Grant Taff at Baylor and Fisher DeBerry at Air Force, and Sheaid said that Gill is cut out of the same mold as both coaches.
"I believe Turner Gill is a tremendous head football coach, we just need time to develop and recruit," Shealv said.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little concluded Kansas Athletics' release with a statement regarding Gill and his time at Kansas.
But time has simply run out for Gill
"We are striving for excellence across KU's academic and research missions, and that drive extends to all of our athletic programs."
Gray-Little said in a statement. "In consulting with Athletics Director Zenger, I agree that in order to achieve the excellence we seek in Kansas Football it is time to make a leadership change. Turner Gill is a man of integrity and we appreciate his service to our community."

"I think it's unfair. Got to give him an equal opportunity. Everybody out here loves coach Gill. I'm kind of speechless about everything that's going on right now. He let us know that he cares, that he loves us, to keep our heads high, and keep fighting. I sure he thinks the same thing, two years, you only have so much time to rebuild off something. That's clearly not enough time, I don't think at all."

"He comes to a school that's struggling and in two years, they get rid of him. I don't really feel like he got an opportunity to prove what he's capable of and I think it really speaks on the university as a whole. A team doesn't go 5-19 because of one person, but because he's the head man, he's going to take the blame for it. While it is looked at as coach Gill's fault being the head coach, it's really a reflection on us as players and the failures that we had and just not being able to succeed. I really take that to the heart."

COMMENTARY
Anthony Redwood, former chairman of the Kansas Athletics board, called the decision "unprincipled" and "unjustified" and resigned out of protest.
That man was Bob Valesente, who coached 22 games in his two years at the helm for the Jayhawks (1986-87). Valesente failed to get a single Big 8 conference victory, but his fire sparked outrage among some of the powers that-were at the University.
Gill's canning unfair, but coach will survive on squeaky-clean image
Only one Kansas football coach since 1928 got less of a chance than Turner
Gill.
His defensive coordinator abruptly resigned before the season after being diagnosed with cancer.
On the heels of a season that
Gill received only 24 games to prove his worth, and while his firing is perhaps even more unfair than Valesent's, it's hard to imagine it will spark the same kind of outrage. And when the Gill era is remembered, that distinct inability to light a fire — under his players or his coaches, the media or the fans, his supporters or his detractors — will ultimately be his legacy
"Apparently we lack the courage at this institution to plan a course of action and stick with it," Redwood said at the time of the firing, according to an Associated Press story.

He made national headlines for taking lowly Buffalo to a MAC Championship in 2008, but that was only after he suffered two losing seasons in his first two years. Two successful in-conference counterparts, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder and Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, also started their tenures at their current programs with back-to-back losing seasons.
His team's most promising players are almost all his own recruits. In fact, his predecessor left the cupboard so bare on defense that Gill had to convert a running back to defensive end and a wide receiver to safety just to fill holes.
Yet, even with all of that in mind, it's hard to get worked up about Gill's canning. His cookie-cutter speeches and robotic demeanor hardly created a cult of personality in Lawrence. And judging by the feeble attendance in Saturday's game against Missouri
He took over a program that was a national embarrassment for the actions of its previous authoritarian head coach. He had to manage the distraction of an athletic department entrenched in debt and a ticket scandal. And according to Gill's contract, that in-debt athletic department is on the hook for the $6 million still owed to Gill.
Next stop: Penn State?
If nothing else, Turner Gill will always fit that profile.
Don't forget
at Arrowhead Stadium, one could argue his firing on Sunday was the most anticipated Kansas football event of the weekend.
As the saying goes, nice guys finish last. But make no mistake. Gill will land on his feet. There are always schools out there in damage control mode, looking for an upbeat, squeaky-clean face for their football program.

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
Thousands of self-proclaimed "undead" have gathered in the historic center of Mexico's capital for a "Zombie Walk" that organizers hope sets a world record.
The announced 9,860 registered participants are dressed in rags and makeup to look bloody and decaying.
Organizer Pablo Guisa said the fifth annual Mexico City event is meant to celebrate diversity and human rights. The participants also collected donations for a local food bank.
Cities around the world hold zombie walks, and Guinness World Records currently recognizes Asbury Park, New Jersey, as the record holder, with 4,093 participants on Oct. 30, 2010.
A group in Brisbane, Australia, has applied for the record, claiming it massed 8,000 "zombies" last month.
MOSCOW
The Russian military will rely increasingly on volunteer soldiers and sharply reduce the number of draftees, President Dmitry Medvedev said Friday.
He said the conscripts' share will be brought down to 10-20 percent in the next five to seven years, with volunteers accounting for the rest. The pledge to reduce Russia's unpopular draft appears to be part of campaigning for Dec. 4 parliamentary elections, in which Medvedev leads the list of the ruling United Russia party, now that he has decided not to run for re-election so that Vladimir Putin can replace him as president.
The military has been coy about the current exact number of volunteer soldiers and conscripts, but media reports put the number of volunteers among the enlisted men at about 100,000.
LOME. TOGO
At least six topflight Togolese soccer players were killed and another 28 people critically injured on Saturday after a bus carrying their team plunged into a ravine and caught fire.
The accident happened near the city of Atakpame, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Lome, as Etoile Filante was on its way to Togo's second largest city of Sokode for Sunday's league game against Semassi.
A tire is believed to have burst, causing the bus to topple over and plunge down a ravine. Some of the victims reportedly burnt to death. Eyewitness accounts said the bus flipped over several times as it crashed into the ravine.
Lome-based Etoile Filante is a seventime Togo national league champion and was runner-up in Africa's continental club competition in 1968.
SEOUL. SOUTH KOREA
South Korean police say nearly 40 officers were injured during a rally opposing the ratification of the country's free trade deal with the United States.
Hundreds of protesters have been staging near-daily demonstrations since the ruling party railroaded the U.S. trade deal last week. The protesters believe the deal favors Washington over South Korean workers.
About 2,200 people rallied in Seoul on Saturday evening. Police say some of them punched and kicked officers trying to disperse the crowd.
Police said the violence left 38 officers injured. Most of the injuries were minor, but it was the most police casualties at a single rally since June.
Protesters say they're looking into whether police also used violence during the rally.

Malott Hall now open after lab fire Saturday
Lawrence Fire and Medical and KU Public Safety responded to a fire at Malott Hall Saturday morning. The fire occurred in an interior lab on the fifth floor at around 7:15 a.m., according to a University press release. The fire was extinguished with no injuries reported.
Water damage extended from the fifth floor laboratory to surrounding hallways and laboratories on the fourth and third floors, according to Jack Martin, a University spokesman.
Malott will be open to students Monday, as usual, Martin wrote in an email, though the laboratory where the fire occurred remains closed pending an investigation of the cause of the fire. No classes have been canceled or relocated, Martin said.
University Facilities and Operations staff were assessing damage to the building and planning cleanup efforts Saturday.

Teach for America program expands amid mixed results

University student named as Rhodes scholar
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
The first time Kelsey Murrell stepped off of a bus at the University of Oxford, she knew it was where she wanted to be.
That was more than a year ago, when Murrell, a senior from Kearney, Mo., visited the university on a study abroad trip. It was a world away from Kearney, where she attended high school and waited tables at Outlaws Barbecue, a restaurant owned by her parents. Now Murrell is the University's 26th Rhodes Scholar, and she will receive funding to attend Oxford for at least a year. She said her family and small-town up-bringing were a major influence on her success.
"Dad taught me if I want something, to work for it and get it myself." Murrell said.
Murrell learned that she won the award on Nov. 19, after an interview in St. Louis. Rhodes scholarships are awarded to 32 students annually. The University has sent 26 students, including Murrell, to Rhodes Scholarships more than any other university in Kansas.
Murrell is an English literature and creative writing major, and she made her first trip to Oxford as part of a study abroad course
with her adviser, Mary Klayder.
"I applied because of her." Murrell said. "She really encouraged me to consider it."
Klayder, a professor of English and University Honors lecturer, taught Murrell as freshman in a creative writing course and has been her adviser through study abroad courses in Costa Rica, London and Oxford.
"Kelsey is really determined," Klayder said. "She's tenacious in learning. When she doesn't know something, she talks to people and finds out how to learn it."
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little with Kelsey Murrell, a senior from Kearney, Mo. and the University's 26th Rhodes Scholar.
Marta Caminero-Santangelo, chair of the English department, said one key to Murrell's success has been her ability to handle several responsibilities at once. In addition to her coursework, Murrell has been a resident assistant at McCollum Hall and a student senator. She has also been active with the Center for Community Outreach and she now works two jobs, as an office assistant at the Office of Study Abroad and a tutor at the Academic Achievement and Access Center. She received an undergraduate research award for her studies in immigration narratives and is working on a senior honors thesis on refugee stories.
Murrell said she studied refugees because their situation
— not having a safe place to call their own — was compelling to her as a student of society and a storyteller.
"Refugee problems need good policy based on research and facts and economic data," she said. "But also listen to their stories."

MARY T. RIEGEL
AND
SARA HUNTLEY
Murrell is a playwright and founder of the Contemporary Alternative Student Theatre, an organization of writers and performers on campus. She was one of only 10 students admitted to the Dean's Scholars Program in the fall of 2010 and was one of 20 University sophomores chosen for the University Scholars Program.
"With amazingly little sleep, and probably lots of caffeine, she does lots and lots of things very well," Caminero-Santangelo said. "She's pretty amazing at taking on more than most human beings."
CHUCK FRANCE/UNIVERSITY RELATION
Chris Wiles, assistant director of the University Honors Program, worked with Murrell in preparing for the Rhodes applications, and said she deserved all of the credit for her success. Applying for the scholarship is a year-long process that involves preparatory classes and competition with some of the best students in the country.
"She's taken every opportunity we've ever given her," Wiles said. "She succeeded because she
was well prepared. This is about her winning it, not a committee drawing it up and telling her what to do. She took it in her hands."
Murrell said she will pursue two graduate degrees at Oxford, studying refugee migration patterns and public policy.
In the future, she hopes to return to the United States to pursue a doctorate in transnational literature, teach and write plays. For now, she is preparing for Oxford.
"I definitely feel like it'll be a challenge and it'll be difficult," she said. "But I'm excited about that challenge."

RELIGION
Catholics adjust to new translation of prayers for Mass
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLAYTON, N.C. — English-speaking Roman Catholics who have regularly attended Mass for years found themselves in an unfamiliar position Sunday, needing printed cards or sheets of paper to follow along with a ritual many have known since childhood.
"I don't think I said it the right way once," said Matthew Hoover, who attends St. Ann Catholic Church in Clayton, a growing town on the edge of the Raleigh suburbs. "I kept forgetting, and saying the old words."
The Mass itself — the central ritual of the Catholic faith — hasn't changed, but the English translation has, in the largest shakeup to the everyday faith of believers since the upheavals that followed the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. A years-long process of revision and negotiation led to an updated version of the Roman Missal, the text of prayers and instructions for celebrating Mass, which originally was written in Latin. The new translation was rolled out across the English-speaking Catholic world on Sunday after months of preparation.
Mickey Mattox, a professor at Milwaukee's Marquette University, said he was happy with the idea that the bishops wanted the translations as accurate as possible.
Adapting to the changes "was a lot less difficult than I thought it might be," said Mattox, 55, adding, "even though probably all of us are going to end up holding our worship folders for a few weeks until we memorize all the new language."
The Rev. George Witt, pastor of the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on New York's Park Avenue, started the 11 a.m. Mass by noting Sunday was not only the first day of Advent, but also the first day to use the new Missal. He directed parishioners to a pamphlet inserted into the back of the now-outdated hymnal that spelled out the new wording. A notable number of worshippers stumbled after the priest said, "Peace be with you." The new response is "And with your spirit" instead of "And also with you." But many others confidently gave the right response.
"Consubstantial? What is that word?" McCormack said, referring to a term in the retranslated Nicene Creed that replaces language calling Jesus "one in being with the Father."
Kathleen McCormack, a church volunteer and former school teacher, said she didn't like the new translation and didn't understand why the church needed a translation closer to Latin.
But she saw a cautionary tale in the many Catholics she saw distance themselves from the church over changes made after the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
"It's not shaking my church experience," said McCormack, as she handed out church bulletins. "You have the spirit between you and God and the words are insignificant."
Most of the changes are actually to prayers recited by the priest, but some of the changes for prayers spoken or sung by the congregation revise familiar words that for some people are spoken almost automatically after years of churchgoing.
Along with the new response and unfamiliar words, the affirmation "We believe" has been replaced with "I believe" in the Nicene Creed. Some of the language seems more formal or poetic: the word "cup" has become "chalice".
"It's more British in some ways," said Monsignor Michael Clay, pastor of St. Ann. "But this is the first time that every English-speaking country in the world will be using the same translation of the Mass."
Clay likes the new translation, finding it closer to the Latin text that is still the church's official language. But some priests and
parishioners have been less enthusiastic, criticizing the new version as too ponderous or distant, and in some cases circulating petitions asking for a delay in introducing the new missal.
Maribeth Lynch, 51, a publisher from the Milwaukee suburb of Elm Grove, said she was "distraught" over the changes and would refuse to "learn the damn prayers."
"It's ridiculous. I've been a Catholic for 50 years, and why would they make such stupid changes? They're word changes. They're semantics," she said.
"It's confusion. All it's doing is causing confusion," she said. "You want to go to church and be confused?"
The roots of the new translation go back to that epocal council held at the Vatican in the 1960s, which allowed Mass in languages other than Latin. An English-language missal was produced by 1973.
more familiar vernacular speech. Numerous revisions and bishops' meetings eventually produced agreement on the translation being used Sunday.
Parishes and dioceses around the country have spent months trying to prepare Catholics for the change. Descriptions of the new translation have been printed in weekly bulletins, seminars have been held and, since Labor Day, many parishes have been gradually introducing the new translation piece by piece, starting with the parts of the liturgy that are sung.
but that was intended to be temporary while improvements were made.
In 2001, the Vatican office that oversees worship issued a directive requiring translation of the English missal that would be closer to the Latin rather than to
Most of those activities are for the benefit of the average Catholic, but it's priests who have more new material to master.
“It's ridiculous. I've been a Catholic for 50 years, and why would they make such a stupid changes? They're word changes. They're semantics."
"I've had a new missal in my hands for about three weeks now, and I've been literally practicing the prayers," Clay said. "I've been doing this now for 31 years, and a lot of these prayers I actually know by memory. I have to make sure my brain isn't getting ahead of my mouth."

Segel: 'Muppets' feels like a fantasy
LOS ANGELES — Jason Segel, star of the CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother," grew up a devoted fan of the Muppets. All he wanted was to one day have a cameo role in one of their movies.
Unfortunately for Segel, his first major acting role, in the 1999 series "Freaks and Geeks," came the same year the Muppets made their last feature film, "Muppets from Space." Since then the Muppets have done only a few TV and Internet projects.
Segel finally got tired of waiting and co-wrote, with Nick Stoller, "The Muppets," a story of getting the old gang together to save The Muppet Theater. He not only helped pen the story, but he stars alongside Kermit and Miss Piggy.
THE NEXT PANEL
"I never thought that I would be working in this capacity with the Muppets. It's thrilling and unbelievable and does feel like a fantasy sometimes," Segel says.
The Muppets have shown for 40 years that it's possible to get laughs without having to do it at anyone else's expense.

Rappers boost alcohol endorsements
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
1
LOS ANGELES — In the video to Pitbull's latest chart-topper, "Give Me Everything", he pours a glass of Voli vodka, careful to display the label; in the lyrics and video for his single, "Rain Over Me," he hails the vodka as the new "it" drink. In both clips, the bottle takes center stage as the rapper is swarmed by flashing neon lights, svelte models and crooning pop wingmen.
Name-check references to the high life of liquor or drugs is nothing new to rap — a study released just weeks ago from the University of Pittsburgh and Dartmouth University found that for every hour that American teens listen to music, they hear more than three references to brand-name alcohol in rap/R&B/hip-hop lyrics. Brand associations have long been a symbol of status for performers. But Pitbull, like his contemporaries Sean "Diddy" Combs, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and many others, have now taken it to the next level. Instead of just making references to the products they enjoy, they're rapping about products they're selling.
Artist-identified drinks are so much a part of club culture now that they are even causing beefs.
Pitbull has transformed his latest videos into not-so-subliminal ads for Voli, in which he owns a stake. He is the latest in a string of business-savvy rappers taking the phrase "popping bottles" to the bank by aligning themselves as spokesmen for liquors, often creating their own branded vanity lines.
("Voli) gave me a great opportunity to be an owner of a brand that I really believed in," said Pitbull, born Armando Christian Perez. He became part owner of the line of low-calorie fruit and fusion flavored vodkas in March. "That's why I got involved with Voli. It's in a market where it's needed and everybody wants it."
In an online video released Oct. 1 that quickly went viral, Combs was seen cursing and throwing ice at a Grey Goose-drinking clubgoer at a packed nightclub, angry that the partyer wasn't drinking his brand, Ciroc. Combs has been an equal-share owner of Ciroc since 2007 and is a ruthless promoter. Ciroc has made appearances in his music videos and he's mentioned the liquor hundreds of times recently on Twitter, Combs even refers to himself as "Ciroc Obama" and created his own "Diddy" cocktail.
Combs, who declined to comment for this article, has since apologized on Twitter for the near-brawl captured on the video
with freshly on-parole T.I. in the background trying to stay out of the fray. But ruthless competition is part of the hip-hop hustle. Bragging rights, even survival, depend on sales, and liquor fits the aesthetic.
Diddy's aggressive campaigning has set his brand apart from competitors. He helped bolster the company from the middling 98,000 cases it sold in 2007 before he was involved — to
Similarly, these artists also align themselves with drinks with a kick: vodka, tequila, malt liquor.

moving 795,000 cases in 2010, making it the eighth largest imported vodka brand by volume, according to current statistics from the Beverage Information Group, a Connecticut-based firm that tracks information on all segments of the alcohol beverage industry. The liquor is reportedly on track to move 1 million cases by year's end.
Multi-faceted hip-hop moguls like Diddy and Jay-Z have always combined street cred with street-meets-Madison-Avenue business savvy to sell products such as clothing and fragrance lines in a way that few genres outside of hip-hop have the power, or cache, to pull off.
Selling booze is just a natural for a music genre that's all about the party. It's easy to integrate drinks into videos and lyrics. But
Diddy has pushed the envelope, allowing Circus to become part of his daily conversation with his fans. Other rappers haven't been able to do that with their vanity lines, according to Vinokur.
Perez has already inked deals with Kodak, Dr. Pepper and Sheets energy strips, and he teamed with Bud Light for a partnership that supports his current tour. Lifesize cutouts of him clutching a cold one dotted L.A.'s Staples Center for his recent sold-out show with Enrique Iglesias. He says he's being strategic, not following a trend.
"I don't really look at it as far as rappers and what they do. We're far from that," Perez said.
"Those deals went down for the simple fact that we needed to build a brand. So how do you build a brand? You put it next to
"What we we interested in was a partner who could add value and leverage that value for the brand. We wanted a true partnership, which is also what Pitbull wanted," Kamenstein said. "But obviously, given his celebrity recognition, that's a component that wed be foolish to not take advantage of."
The Voli deal, however, is different. Voli Chief Executive Adam Kamenstein said the company didn't want a "face" to sell its liquor.
Kamenstein wouldn't disclose specific numbers of his privately owned company but said that since Perez joined the company they've seen "multiple hundred percent growths over the year before he arrived."

EDITORIAL
Turner Gill's biggest contribution: Giving us the phrase, "at least it's not as bad as when Turner Gill was coach."
New football coach should be mix of Gill, Mangino
As the Turner Gill era comes to an early conclusion at Kansas, it's up for debate whether his firing was fair after just two years as coach.
However, in the world of Division I college sports, decisions like the one that athletics director Sheahon Zenger made on Sunday aren't necessarily made based on what is fair or unfair. Rather, the reality is that they're made largely on economic grounds.
It isn't too much of a stretch to say that there were small signs of improvement for the Kansas football team from last year to this year. But in terms of fan support and interest, Kansas Athletics simply could not afford another year with Gill as head coach.
When Gill was hired following embattled former coach Mark Mangino's resignation, there were high hopes for great football. But even greater than the expectation of great football was the expectation that Gill was a decent man of integrity and would coach as such.
No one can say that Gill isn't a person of rigorous moral and ethical standards. He is a class act and the kind of person you would be proud to have as a friend or family member. Unfortunately, college athletics, though it may appear to be a
family at times, is ultimately a business.
As a business, former athletics director Lew Perkins made a terrible business decision in hiring Gill at a very generous salary. He was overpaid. Now, less than three years later, the Jayhawks are paying the price for that decision. Buying out Gill costs Athletics around $6 million. Nevertheless, not putting up the cash would have made for an even worse scenario for Kansas. Each Jayhawk loss means fewer tickets sold, less concessions bought, less merchandise purchased and, most damaging, fewer donors willing to reach into their deep
pockets.
Gill came to Lawrence during a dark time for Kansas football and restored ethical credibility to a program that Mangino left in scandal. But now it's time for the lajhawks to thrive again on the field, and Gill isn't the person to do it.
We don't know who that person will be, but we hope that whomever the University hires will be able to bring a strong record of performance both on and off the field. There must be a happy medium between game time performance and upstanding personal conduct. In Mangino and Gill, Kansas experienced the extremes of
each. It's time to find someone who will be able to bring both those interests together.
It's been a tumultuous three years for the University in general and athletics in particular. Again, students and the University community face yet another change, another upheaval. But we're resilient. We've weathered a ticket scandal, the resignation of an athletics director, the resignation of one football coach in scandal and the firing of another for lackluster performance.
We're still standing. We're still here. It will get better.

Players like T-Rob make us thankful
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
The University of Kansas is a special place. From its beautiful campus to its unmatched basketball tradition, I honestly feel blessed to be here. Being raised in Kansas, I've dreamed of coming here since I was old enough to understand its existence. I'm a big sports fan, but no team means as much to me as the jayhawks' basketball team. When I was younger, I'd run around my house with a blow-up basketball and act like I was Kirk Hinrich while I watched him play on my television. I've seen a lot of heroes play in Allen Fieldhouse, but I have never seen what I am seeing now.
Becoming a legend in a program that has a storied history is hard. It's even harder when you aren't even a starter for the team. But somehow, Thomas Robinson has done just that. This year, Robinson may be the team leader, preseason All-Big 12, but he wasn't that a year ago. He was a sixth-man: a guy coming off the bench for some extra energy. Robinson hasn't had the chance to shine yet, but students treat him as if he's been shining for years.
Thomas Robinson lost his grandparents and his mother in a very short time span. Something strange happens when tragedy hits. When a family suffers, they become closer to deal with the pain together. There is no way for me to understand the pain that he went through and the pain he still deals with today. But I do know that Kansas basketball is like
a family, and that's exactly what Robinson found when he was suffering.
When Thomas Robinson decided to play the day after his mother's death, I was there. Being the selfish sports fan I am, my first thought was wondering if Robinson would play. Once I was in the Fieldhouse, I heard that he was going to play, and the fans gave a long moment of silence. I realized this game meant more than a win or loss. Kansas lost, but that's not what matters today. What matters is the sacrifice Robinson made for his KU family and the love that he would receive in return from the KU campus and the Jayhawks basketball fans.
I know if I were to lose my mother before a game, there would be no way I could play. But that's the difference between Robinson and me. Robinson is a legend; he sacrificed more than I ever could, just so he wouldn't let down his teammates, his school or his fans. That game will always be important to me, and it should for the rest of Kansas. With players like Josh Selby and Xavier Henry leaving for the NBA after one season, it's hard to believe that some of these players even care about Kansas. Then we have a player in Robinson that plays on one of the hardest days of his life.
Robinson will leave for the NBA next season, and none of us will argue, because we know he's done enough for us. He's sacrificed for us, and now he needs to do what is best for him and his sister.
Once he's gone, I'll remember him for his beaming smile and his high energy, but most importantly I'll remember that we loved Thomas Robinson because Thomas Robinson loved us. A true Legend of the Phog.

TV father figures teach me about manhood
My father was always around when I was a child, so I never tried to find a father figure via television. I grew up watching shows like "Home Improvement," "Full House," and "Growing Pains," but I never viewed any of the fathers from these shows as actual father figures. As I am now older, with my biological father still present in my life, I still feel a void without ever having a TV dad.
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
After watching hundreds of shows and studying every TV father that I could find, I have narrowed my decision down to two candidates: Coach Eric Taylor from "Friday Night Lights" and Don Draper from "Mad Men."
In "Friday Night Lights," the local football fanatic Buddy Garrity eloquently claims that football and love are the two most important things in life. From what I have come to learn from this melodramatic tale of teenage hormones and parents attempting to raise their kids as decent citizens, is that life in small town America boils
down to love and Friday night football. More importantly it covers the concept of what it means to be a man. Moreover, Taylor strives to turn a group of young, horny, and rambunctious adolescent teens into men by teaching them football.
Taylor, in his infinite wisdom, said, "Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle ... But what makes
Watching Taylor, thanks to my actual father's Netflix account, I have learned a man's most important obligation is to provide for his family. As injured quarterback Jason Street said, "When success is essential to keeping a family together there is nothing a man won't do. Nothing."
him a man is at the midst of that battle he does not lose himself. This game is not over, this battle is not over." A man is someone who doesn't quit, no matter what problem is laid out in front of him. However, I am afraid that I am not up to Coach T's standards. I failed him as a son. I am afraid that Coach T would not be proud of me in the decisions I have made, and by my shortcomings as a man who has lost the battle of manhood.
With that, I will now turn to Don Draper for fatherly advice: One of my favorite scenes is one where Draper is sitting with his boss Roger Sterling and he tells him, "You don't know how to drink ... My generation, we
drink because it is good, because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar, because we deserve it. We drink because it's what men do." Yes! What men do! Mén drink not because it is hip or to feel the buzz, men drink because that is what separates men from women. Whiskey is the deciding factor. Mad Men has taught me that I am a man because I choose to drink.
I am not sure if these are the type of things you are suppose to learn from a TV father figure, but, regardless, my real father could out-drink Don Draper any day.

Seniors conclude Kansas career with loss
LETHAN PADWAY
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With their uniforms stained from the grass of Arrowhead Stadium, the seniors plodded off the field for the final time wearing the crimson and blue, left to contemplate how fast things turned around in their time as Jayhawks.
epadway@kansan.com
The seniors entered the Kansas program with BCS bowl dreams following the Jayhawks 2008 Orange Bowl victory.
They left the program after a 24-10 loss to rival Missouri, in a half-full NFL stadium where supporters of their rival greatly outnumbered Jayhawk nation in what was supposed to be a neutral atmosphere.
"Life isn't fair, that's just how things go," Johnson said. "You just have to continue to roll with the punches. You get knocked down; you got to get back up."
But the seniors don't look back on their time as Jayhawks with regret. Instead they relish the opportunity they were given.
But it wasn't meant to be. The Jayhawks collapsed in the third quarter in a way that is all too familiar to fans, allowing Missouri to get the last laugh in what could be the last Border Showdown game for years to come.
"It's over man. God gave me this opportunity and I think I seized the most of it," senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. "At times I didn't, but you can't worry about that. Just move on with my life."
With a 10-3 lead at halftime and the defense playing its best game of the year, it looked like the seniors' careers just might end on a positive note.
Hatch left the younger Jayhawks with a simple message.
Johnson said he was walking out of the stadium with his head held high, even though the team lost.
"It kind of hit me that it's over," senior linebacker Steven Johnson said. "My college career is over. Just taking it all in I came a long way."
"It's been a rough season and there's a lot of good character on this队," he said.
"Never forget this feeling,' Hatch said.
The loss to Missouri was not how the seniors wanted to end their career. They began their careers when football was becoming more than a simple distraction for students until basketball season rolled around.
But things have taken a sharp turn for the program. Since the Jayhawks ranked 16th in the AP
Through all the ups and downs, the Jayhawks never strayed from their positive mentality.

Game notes
The glass is half full: The football season is over, and the basketball team has shown enough promise that fans will quickly forget this season.
The glass is half empty: The 2-10 record is the worst for the Jayhawks since they went 2-10 in former coach Mark Mangino's initial season in 2002.
Delay of game
Kansas special teams: For the second week in a row, the special teams had a bad snap on a punt, causing them to give Missouri the ball in good field position. The Tigers took advantage, going on to score the game-tying touchdown.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb: Webb couldn't provide the offensive spark through the air when the passing game failed. He completed nine passes on the day and threw two interceptions.

Freshman running back Darian Miller: Miller, who emerged as a big part of the Jayhawk running game this season, was suspended from the game because of a violation of team rules. The Jayhawks missed his presence, as they rushed for only 65 yards in the game.

Looking ahead
Still questioning
Why did Gill called a timeout at the end of the first half? After wasting two timeouts early to debate whether to go for it on fourth down, Gill called a timeout after getting a sack with less than 40 seconds left on second down. Missouri took a knee and went into the half. The timeout was meaningless and shows his incompetence to properly manage a game.
With the Jayhawk season over, the fans will have to focus their attention to the 2012 season. Because Missouri and Texas A&M are leaving the conference, the full schedule is not yet available, but the non-conference slate is set with South Dakota State and Rice coming to Lawrence and a game in Dekalb, Ill., against Northern Illinois.
Final thought
To say it is a rough season for the Jayhawks is an understatement, but the Jayhawks did show flashes of being a good football team. They could never get both sides of the ball to play well the entire game in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks return many starters from the young team next year, but only have seven commits so far for next season. The next few months will be big determining the success the team will have next season.

Gill: "I've been asked if I'm taking this job as a way to get to another program. The answer to that is a very decisive no. I did not come here to use it as a stepping stone to a football dynasty, but rather to create a football dynasty here at KU. Rock Chaik Jayhawk, KU!"

Players, NBA prepare 10-year agreement
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Across the NBA, preparations are hastily being made for a season that almost was lost.
A tentative 10-year agreement between the NBA and the players was reached at shortly after 3 a.m. EST on Saturday after a 15-hour bargaining session between commissioner David Stern and NBA Players Association executive director Billy Hunter.
The framework of the deal includes a virtual 50-50 split of an estimated $4 billion in revenue, compared with 57 percent in the previous pact. That translates into $300 million less for the players to share in the first year of the agreement, which covers almost all of what the league said its teams lost last season.
Players could get as much as 51 percent if revenues exceed expectations, but their share also could be cut to 49 percent if revenues fall short of projections.
Once details are ironed out, the season will open on Dec. 25 with the Knicks hosting the Celtics at Madison Square Garden.
"We are very pleased that we have come this far," Stern said. "There is a lot of work to be done in a lot of places, with a lot of committees and player groups and the like, but we are optimistic that it will hold and we will have ourselves an NBA season."
The agreement signaled the end of the NBA lockout, though it will not officially end until a deal is finalized. Neither Stern nor Hunter believes the ancillary issues will be a major stumbling block to finishing
the process in time to begin training camps Dec. 9 and start a regular season on Christmas Day.
The salary-cap system will remain a soft cap, meaning teams can go over the cap but will be penalized for doing so with a more punitive luxury tax than before. The owners made several concessions to allow more player movement in free agency. Teams may sign a player to a full mid-level exception contract (five years, $5 million per) as long as the contract keeps the team less than $4 million over the luxury-tax threshold. Beyond $4 million, the mid-level exception is three years for $3 million. Sign-and-trades also are universally permitted.
"I think that there is still a lot of, shall we say, other issues to finish because we have the broadest outline," Stern said, "but I think both sides are optimistic that this will yield a full-blown series of agreements."
The sides took four months to move on their respective stances, as the players reduced their take to 52.5 percent to 51 percent and finally to a 50-50 concept. The owners moved off the hard cap and agreed to maintain the soft cap from the previous agreement, with added restrictions to curb payroll spending.
The owners also have discussed a revenue-sharing program that is not a part of this agreement but will be more robust than in previous years. High-revenue, big-market teams such as the Knicks and Lakers will kick in as much as $50 million each per season to assist the low-income small-market teams.
Before the deal can be completed,
there are some small hurdles. There
is a union to re-form, lawsuits to be withdrawn and workouts for players to organize before they are allowed back into team facilities.
After the exhausting negotiation that began Friday and went into yesterday morning, the sides went their separate ways later yesterday to get their respective houses in order.
The league already has begun the process of putting together a regular-season schedule, using most of the dates already in place from the original 2011-12 schedule. The league will extend the regular season into late April and the NBA Finals will start a week later than usual. The NBA All-Star Game, hosted by the Orlando Magic, will take place as scheduled in February.
On the players' side, there is a lot more work to be done. First, the NBPA has to re-form as a union and the deal has to be ratified by the 420-plus members. The players also are expected to request a voluntary dismissal of the class-action antitrust lawsuit filed last week in Minnesota district court against the NBA and its owners. Hunter and the players' legal team, led by David Boies, began that process Saturday.
"We are going to turn it all over to the lawyers here and let them work out the details and we'll then be able to talk further as that process proceeds." Hunter said. "It could be a matter of three days to a week."

History may prove that after the collective-bargaining process broke down, the move to dissolve the union might have helped push the sides together for an agreement.bus playing as soon as possible.

Former Jayhawk wins golf World Cup in China
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAINAN, China—Matt Kuchar and former Jayhawk golfer Gary Woodland ended the United States' 11-year drought in golf's World Cup by shooting a 5-under 67 on Sunday to win by two strokes.
The American pair fired six birdies in the alternate-shot final round at Mission Hills Blackstone course to finish at 24-under, 264 overall, notching the 24th U.S. win in the history of the tournament.
English pair Ian Poulter and Justin Rose had the final day's best round with a 63 to tie for second at 22-under with Germany's Martin Kaymer and Alex Ceika (69).
Ireland's Rory McIlroy and
Graeme McDowell led by two strokes going into the final round but could only manage an even-par 72 to finish tied for fourth with Australia, the Netherlands and Scotland.
The American victory was the first since Tiger Woods and David Duval claimed the title 11 years ago. The event was annual up until 2009, and this year's tournament was the first in the new biennial format.
"We really clicked. It's fantastic to win for the U.S.", said Woodland, who played for Kansas from 2003 to 2007.
The U.S. duo built a two-point lead over Germany midway through the round and after a rare
slip with a bogey at the par-3 11th, the Americans responded with birdies on the next two holes and then pars the rest of the way to claim victory.
"Undoubtedly the shots on the 12 and 13th were key. It was a great moment and to shoot a par when you expected a bogey," Kuchar said.
World No. 2 McLroy was well below his best, hitting some loose shots, including a putt on the 18th which would of given Ireland a share of the runner-up check. The tournament favorites had a run of misfortune, including a penalty stroke on the 6th and four bogeys on the card.

Kansas junior guard Angel Goodrich does not know when she developed into a great passer, but she does know that it's a great quality to have now.
SCHOOL OF
Goodrich was on full display this weekend at the Basketball Travelers Tip-off Classic at Allen Fieldhouse as she put together three passing clinics.
"To be honest, I've always been able to see the court really well," Goodrich said. "It just came naturally for me. I really look to get my teammates involved."
This court vision has paid off for Goodrich. On Sunday, she was named the most valuable player of the tournament.
"Honors are not what I'm looking for. I'm just doing what I need to do as a point guard," Goodrich said. "Getting my teammates involved, just playing ball, that's what I love to do."
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has noticed Goodrich develop into a high-level player since last spring.

On Friday, Goodrich helped propel the Jayhawks to their best-played game of the year with
To go along with the impressive stat line, Goodrich also made an impressive hustle play when she dove out of bounds and flipped the ball around her body before jumping over the cameraman near the basket.
Goodrich's hustle might be one of the better qualities that can help the lavhawks.
"If you think about how many plays we make and she is involved in that somewhere; it is either coming from her or she has made the right pass early to set something up." Henrickson said.
Lamar coach Larry Tidwell was also complimentary of how well Goodrich played against his team.
With the 71-50 win over IUPUI on Saturday, Goodrich continued her remarkable play with 17 points and 10 assists. This was her first double-double of the season.
"Kansas point guard is probably one of the best in the country and I've studied them all," Tidwell said. "This kid is unbelievable. She's strong, she shoots the jumper, she leads the team and plays great defense."

quite a few nights if it weren't for her." Hendrickson said. "She's our motor and our glue. Her pace and tempo are great. Defensively, she gets stops."
90-40 victory over Lamar.
On Sunday, Goodrich finished up her weekend with another impressive ten-minute stretch in the tournament finale against Florida Atlantic.
Before the Owls could even find their ground, Goodrich was dishing out all kinds of passes.
She put up another decent stat line, recording 13 points, 10 assists and four steals.
Developing a connection with Davis, especially with Jayhawks high-low game, has been important to the team's 6-0 start.
One player who deserves credit for Goodrich's success is junior forward Carolyn Davis, who also had an impressive tournament.
"I feel like we have a really good connection," Davis said. "I think that's what helps us with our passing."
Following the BTI Tipoff, the Jayhawks now have a few days to regroup and build on their momentum.
"It kind of gets you prepared for tournament time because it's the same kind of schedule," Davis said. "You have to play back to back. You have to pull out a lot of wins when you're tired."

Engelman lost her starting spot for the game and only played 15 minutes off the bench. Henrickson said she sat the two-year captain because of a lack of effort in recent games and practice. Engelman scored eight points, but committed three turnovers.

The players on the Kansas volleyball team do not usually pay attention to individual records. The team's overall record, they often say, is the only record that matters.
But on Saturday night against Baylor in the final game of her career, senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield made an exception. She said she was well aware of the history she was about to make.
Senior setter Nicole Tate and junior middle blocker Taylor Tolefree try to block a hit from Baylor senior outside hitter Qian Zhang during the game Saturday night. The Jayhawks won three out of four sets against the Bears Saturday night, increasing their Big 12 record to 3-13.
Mayfield broke the school record for kills in a single season early in the third set and the Jayhawks (15-14, 3-13) defeated the Baylor Bears (18-14, 5-11) in four sets, 24-26, 25-23, 25-18. 25-9. The win secured the Jayhawks' third consecutive winning season.
Needing 13 kills to set the mark, Mayfield finished with 17, giving her 462 for the season. Her final kill was an emphatic game-winning shot that gave Kansas the win on senior night.
"My family and I talked about it on Thanksgiving," Mayfield said. "They jokingly said if I didn't get
the kills, they were going to kill me."
Beyond the kills, Mayfield made her presence felt in virtually every facet of the game. She finished with nine digs and an ace. She was also serving during a 7-0 run for the Jayhawks in the decisive fourth set.
"She was typical Mayfield," coach Ray Bechard said. "I thought she gained energy late. She served eight straight jump serves, and that is not an easy thing to do."
Junior middle blocker Tayler
Tolefle came out of the break on a tear, notching seven kills in the third set alone. She finished with 14 kills and only one attack error, good for a .565 attack percentage.
"It feels really good to be able to get that winning feeling back, especially at home, in front of all of our fans who have seen us struggling." Tolefire said. "It was just one of those feelings that makes you think, 'Man, I miss this.'"

The teams traded blows in the first two sets, each winning by the slimmed margin possible. In fact, each set was tied at 22 late. After dropping the first set, it was a different senior who stepped up for the jayhawks to secure the win in the second.

Senior setter Nicole Tate made the most of a bad pass, jousting the ball over the net to take the Bears off-guard for a rare setter kill. Bechard said the ball did not go to Tate by design.
"She was over-matched in size but she pushed the ball down," Bechard said. "I thought that play changed all the momentum."
Senior right-side hitter Lauren Hagan saw the court for the first time this season in the first set and recorded a kill before she was subbed out. Hagan was held out of the lineup all season because of a serious shoulder injury suffered last season.
The fourth set was a dominant romp on the part of the Jayhawks. In fact, it was the first time a team has held Baylor under 10 points in a set since the NCAA changed to 25-point sets.
"Her shoulder, you could tell, was a little bit loose tonight," Bechard said. "But she took a couple of good swings and I was happy to see one hit the floor."

Bechard said that despite the team's struggles in the stacked Big 12, ending the regular season on a winning note at home is something the team can build on.
"It feels good to play some of our best volleyball of the year in our last match of the year," Bechard said. "That's what we've liked about this group all along. In the last month, regardless of the result, they came and worked extremely hard, got better and obviously some things came together tonight."

A losing record isn't the worst thing
MORNING BREW
Yes, a 2-10 record is anything but pretty, especially earning that record by beating after beating. But if the college-sporting universe has shown us anything lately, it's that things could be a lot worse.
By Max Lush
mlush@kansan.com
Between the Penn State scandal and the trouble brewing at Syracuse with assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine's accusations, I have learned that it is better to embarrass yourself on the field than succeed while a scandal emerges behind the scenes.
Even if Turner Gill wasn't the man that improved upon the success Mark Mangino left with the football program, Kansas still made the right decision to fire Mangino after former players stepped forward and detailed the verbal abuse they endured from him.
Some declared the firing of Mangino a "witch hunt," others thought it was simply the wrong decision, and others felt it was the right decision and time to move on. The fact is, it had to be done. A program cannot run, cannot recruit with these potential scandals posing as the
elephant in the room.
If Mangino had remained head coach, what parents would want to send their child to be coached by a man who may use their son's most personal information against them to "motivate" him? The damage to the Penn State name has been done and coaching legend Joe Paterno had to be the scapegoat.
The fact that it took so long for the Penn State story to come out only hurts the trust of the fans more. They have to wonder what else happened inside their
program for at least the last decade. Trust is not regained quickly and whoever ends up replacing Paterno's legacy has a hell of a job in front of him. Not only living up to Paterno's greatness on the field but also repairing the damage caused by this scandal.
Whether or not he was ever the man for the job, at least Gill ran a classy program and taught his players how to cope with adversity in a mature manner. Getting blown out on the field wore on the team, but none of Kansas' players quit or stopped working their hardest. That in itself saves a lot.
The Syracuse case also shows how lucky Kansas fans are to have a coach like Bill Self running the show. A scandal like this could rip apart Kansas basketball. All of the history, tradition and winning would mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. The Kansas name would lose credibility in every sport and every household in America. No matter how well the school's teams played, it would not be appreciated the same way, knowing what took place on campus.
KU
Losing hurts and losing in an embarrassing fashion hurts even more. Losing without pride in your team and university opens a whole other type of wound. At least when any Kansas team loses, I know the players gave their all for Kansas and the coaches represented the university the best they could.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY
MU rivalry should continue
Mike Lavieri
milavieri@kansan.conl
It's sad that the 120-year Border War is over ... for now. The Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger is calling it the Border Cold War, which is probably more realistic than just saying Saturday was the final one.
This absence of play may go on for three, five or maybe ten years. But both the Jayhawks and Tigers will eventually come to their senses and get something worked out. Right now, Missouri will get to keep the Indian War Drum until the two play again. And Missouri can stop complaining about who holds the series lead, because if you take Missouri or Kansas' word, both say Missouri leads.
These two schools will figure it out because, as much as they "hate" each other, these two need each other. Kansas doesn't need Missouri for basketball because the Jayhawks can sell out any venue they play in, but Missouri needs Kansas for basketball. Missouri may sell out at home because teams in the Southeastern Conference have fans that travel well. The Tigers have a top 25 team in basketball and failed to fill the Sprint Center last week for the CBE Classic. What Kansas needs Missouri for is football. There is no way Arrowhead Stadium would be filled two or three years ago if it was Kansas and another team not named Missouri.
Kansas can't replace Missouri on its schedule for any sport. Kansas State can't become Missouri because who would become Kansas State? The most logical replacement would be West Virginia, but it's way out east. What will this game be called? "The Border War if Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky weren't states and the two were bordering each other?" That has a nice ring to it. Clearly, Missouri and West Virginia have so much in common. Kansas' last game can't be against Kansas State because the Wildcats play Iowa State. Texas and Texas A&M's rivalry is dead and Texas will play TCU. Baylor and Texas Tech and Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will continue their traditions.
Missouri also plays a yearly game with Illinois. There is a mutual dislike between the two, but nothing like Kansas and Missouri. Who cares if Kansas loses to Missouri? There is more to lose than just a notch in the win-loss column. This rivalry is a priority and would be great to play in early- to mid-September.
I would even be OK with Kansas and Missouri playing twice in basketball each year, but in November and December.
The Kansas and Missouri rivalry needs to continue, but not in Kansas City. It needs to continue on the campuses. Lew Perkins really screwed that one up because getting to Kansas City from Lawrence or Columbia, Mo., isn't the most convenient.

BORDER WAR LETDOWN
MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the remaining minutes of the Jayhawks' season ticked closer to zero, Missouri fans at Arrowhead Stadium handed the Jayhawks and Turner Gill their goodbye message for the foreseeable future, repeatedly chanting "SEC". Missouri left archival Kansas behind in more ways than one.
The defeat — a 24-10 loss to Missouri — left the Jayhawks behind in the all-time series 55-56-9 against Missouri. The 120 year rivalry will most likely stay that way for the future because Missouri will leave the Big 12 conference for the Southeastern Conference next
season.
For the meantime, the spotlight will stay firmly planted on Kansas coach Turner Gill, who was relieved of his duties as head football coach Sunday afternoon after a 2-10 season with the Jayhawks. After the game, Gill said he believed that he will be given another opportunity to coach the Jayhawks, even though, at the time, he had not yet discussed his future at Kansas with Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger.
"I still believe that we can get some things done here and move this program in the right direction." Gill said.
While there has been talk amongst the media and fans of Gill not returning for his third season at
There was yet another third quarter setback, which has happened all too often this season. The Jayhawks lost their 10-3 half-time lead, and the collapse helped turn the spotlight toward Gill once again.
Kansas, the decision to keep Gill or not is ultimately made by Zenger
"It itemed like there hasn't been a consistency at halftime, making adjustments," Gill said.
The collapse started four plays into the third quarter when freshman long snapper Tanner Gibas botched his second snap in two games. The ball sailed over sophomore punter Ron Donderty's head for a 12-yard loss and gave Missouri the ball on the Kansas 14-yard line.
Missouri could only muster a field goal on the turnover to tie the game at 10-10, but the momentum had already swung, and on its way, it nailed Turner Gill.
The following possession, Kansas drove the ball to the Missouri 44-yard line and had a crucial fourth-and-one play lying ahead. Instead of immediately going for it, Gill called a timeout and discussed the important play with his team.
Instead of regrouping, the timeout stunted any momentum Kansas had, as a false start pushed the Jayhawks back five-yards, forcing the Jayhawks to punt and keeping
"I was kind of questioning it," Beshears said. "But I can see why he did it. He just wanted to have everybody regroup."
the team from having any chance of taking the lead.
Missouri scored on its next two possessions to take the lead and extend it to 24-10.
All the while, the historical significance made the loss that much tougher for a Kansas team that has seen five victories and 19 losses in its two seasons with Gill.
"Everything about this whole game was frustrating," senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. "The whole day was just pretty bad."
The loss would be the last for Gill and the 15 Kansas seniors, and it wasn't an easy one to swallow.

Kansas defeats Florida Atlantic University
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
The Kansas women's basketball team defeated Florida Atlantic University in an 82-63 rout, which saw record-breaking performances from senior forward Aishah Sutherland and junior Carolyn Davis. Sutherland set personal records in steals and shooting percentage and Davis became the 23rd player in program history to score 1,000 points.
Sutherland led Jayhawks in every category. She scored 21 points and shot 10 of 11 from the field. She added 12 rebounds, four blocks and four steals in 28 minutes of play.
"I know she can be that person scoring double figures and get double-doubles," Davis said. "She can get every rebound and score easily. I feel like it opened her eyes and she can do that for us every night."
Junior guard Angel Goodrich said she has been waiting for this kind of performance from Sutherland.
"I love when she plays this
game," Goodrich said. "She has the potential and everybody sees that she has the potential. She is amazing. She can just bring it out and go to the boards."
Davis scored 13 points and became the 23rd player in program history to score 1,000 career points. She started the season just 43 points shy of the mark.
Goodrich scored 13 and added 10 assists. She was named MVP of the Basketball Travelers Tip-Off Classic.
"I just think from a confidence standpoint, she is playing at a really, really high level right now," Davis said.
Davis and Sutherland were named to the All-Tournament team after three days of impressive performances.
"It is an honor," Davis said. "This is a big accomplishment. My teammates are proud of me and I am proud of me."
Sophomore guard Keena Mays hit the court hard in the second half. She was down crying and went to the bench to work with trainers. She came up holding her left arm. She sat on
the bench the remainder of the game.
Junior guard CeCe Harper started her first career game and just over a minute into the game she dished her first assist. She has served as a defensive presence for the Jayhawks and pitched in five points. She started instead of junior guard Monica Engelman, who failed to score in 28 minutes against IU-PUI on Saturday.
Engelman entered at the 14:19 mark in the first half. This was the first game in her Kansas career she had not started. She finished the game with eight points and three turnovers in 15 minutes.
"You are a junior in the program and you have played a lot of minutes, I expect more," Coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's got to fight herself through it, fight and compete."
Kansas will take a day off before returning to practice. They host SMU at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

In his previous job as the athletic director at Illinois State, Kansas athletics director Sheahon Zenger made two major hires. He hired a basketball coach, Tim Jankovich, a former assistant at Kansas who was on Zenger's short list from the beginning. He also hired a football coach, Brock Spack, a defensive coordinator at Purdue, who was not on Zenger's radar when the coaching search began.
While Gill is commonly thought of as a kind person, his attitude didn't translate into victories on the football field.
"Simply put, one conference win in two years just is not defensible, and we had lost our support from fan base, donors, stake holders in general," Zenger said.
Zenger's next move could go a long way to rebuild support for the Kansas football program. While Zenger would not comment on any potential coaches' names, he did comment on the kind of resume he will be looking for. when interviewing candidates for the job.
"I like people with strong pedigrees, meaning whether that be a sitting head coach, former head coach or coordinator." Zenger said. "I believe that you have to come from programs that are proven, that have similar histories and demographics to the institution you're at. It's all about fit."
And for Zenger, Turner Gill was simply not the right fit at Kansas.
Even though both coaches have worked out so far, the experience with hiring Spack showed Zenger that being too near-sighted in a coaching search could lead to settling on a candidate that may not be the right choice.
Zenger will look to find the "right fit" for Kansas Football. Gill's offense at Kansas was a slower-paced, run-first offense that had little use of imagination. While Zenger would not go into specifics, he did say that an important quality for the future head coach will be the offensive and defensive schemes they use, along with their personality.
"There may be an individual out there that fits us perfectly that I have no idea exists, that when I get the phone call,'Dag Gum we need to go take a look at him."
"Certain systems of discipline may work better here at Kansas," Zenger said. "You've really got to sit down with these guys and get to know them, to know if the gut feeling is there. To know if it's going to fit here on the hill."

WEATHER
Increased freezing rain expected this winter
LUKE RANKER
Iranker@kansan.com
As forecasters such as Kansas City meterologist Gary Lezak predict more freezing rain than usual for Lawrence this winter, students may want to be aware of problems that can arise with their utilities. Frozen pipes, power outages and high energy bills are the most common effects of cold weather on residential utilities.
"If you have a frozen pipe, you need to shut the water off so it doesn't burst," he said.
The risk of frozen pipes rises during winter months. Kevin Hoppe at Action Plumbing said the main danger with frozen pipes was flooding.
Hoppe said most pipes froze at night or when people were away from home. The water pressure buildup can cause some pipes to burst and then flood the home.
While leaving a faucet dripping could prevent pipes inside the house from freezing, it could cause the outside drain line to
freeze, Hoppe said. He also said if a drain line freezes, costumers should shut off the dripping faucet to allow the pipe to thaw out.
Hoppe said there were a number of ways to thaw out a pipe. He said his company used an electric current to heat copper pipes.
He said it was important for people to remember to shut garage doors because pipes near the garage could freeze. He also said a main cause of frozen pipes indoors was keeping the thermostat too low.
"You can use a hair dryer or space heater to thaw pipes under a sink." Hoppe said.
"Something we see a lot of with students is if it gets warmer, people will shut the thermostat off and then leave for a long time," Honne said.
Project manager for Lawrence city utilities Jeanette Klamm said the city didn't see a lot of issues
with pipes freezing because they maintained a warm temperature underground. More common, she said, were seasonal issues with water lines breaking. Klamm said that as the ground cooled and warmed, it shrank and expanded, which could cause weak water lines to shift and break.
"If you have a frozen pipe, you need to shut the water off so it doesn't burst."
Hoppe said.
She said one main concern during the winter was keeping service personnel comfortable and safe in winter weather conditions.
"It's important to keep the workers warm to get the job done," Klamm said.

the company is still prepared for the possibility.
While not all outages can be prevented, Penzig said the electric company prepares for inclement weather by trimming trees near power lines to prevent branches falling into lines. This is the main cause of downed power lines.
"It's also important for customers to trim trees near the service line." Penzig said.
Penzig said if a customer made a request, Westar could lower the service line to make tree trimming safer.
Technicians also checked mechanical equipment routinely, Penzig said. Westar is currently installing a new meter system called SmartStar, which would make it easier to locate power outages and determine the causes.
Penzig said Westar had an
agreement with neighboring utility companies to borrow workers during an outage.
"We want to bulk up manpower quickly," she said.
She said a Westar crew was currently working in Connecticut to aid with restoring power to the East Coast.

ROCKY HILL, CONN.
A trio of wealth managers from Greenwich, one of the most affluent towns in America, claimed a Powerball jackpot worth more than a quarter of a billion dollars Monday off a $1 ticket.
Greg Skidmore, Brandon Lacoff and Tim Davidson came forward as the winners of the $254.2 million jackpot and the trustees of The Putnam Avenue Family Trust, which they formed to help manage the money after Davidson bought the winning ticket at a Stanford gas station.
A lawyer who spoke for the group said they contacted him immediately after the Nov. 2 drawing and came forward after making plans for the money. He said the trust will take the after-tax lump sum of $103,586,824.51 cash and a significant amount will go to charity.
CARACAS, VENEZUELA
A top Colombian drug trafficker, reputedly responsible for shipping tons of cocaine to the United States through Central America and Mexico, has been captured in Venezuela, officials said Monday.
The U.S. had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Maximiliano Bonilla Orozco, also known as "Valenciano," who was also on Colombia's most-wanted list.
Colombian authorities told The Associated Press that Bonilla was captured Sunday.
Sima was captured Sunday. The information was later confirmed by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, who was in Venezuela meeting with President Hugo Chavez.
KINSHASA, CONGO
Voting materials arrived late or sometimes not at all in precincts throughout Congo Monday, but elections went ahead, raising doubts about the legitimacy of a poll that already has seen at least nine people killed and could drag this enormous nation in the heart of Africa back into conflict.
Country experts and opposition leaders had urged the government to delay the vote due to massive logistical problems. Some districts of Congo, which has suffered decades of dictatorship and two civil wars, are so remote that ballot boxes had to be transported across muddy trails on the heads of porters, and by dugout canoe across churning rivers.
Violence over the weekend left at least four people dead.
ISLAMABAD
The NATO airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers lasted almost two hours and continued even after commanders at the bases pleaded with coalition forces to stop. Pakistan's military claimed Monday, charges that could further inflame anger in Pakistan.
NATO has described the incident as "tragic and unintended" and has promised a full investigation.
Unnamed Afghan officials have said that Afghan commandos and U.S. special forces were conducting a mission on the Afghan side of the border and took incoming fire from the direction of the Pakistani posts.

Research library's renovation is complete
The Kenneth Spencer Research Library will open a new reading room Tuesday, after 10 months of planning and construction, according to a University press release. The library's collection is not open for circulation, so the reading room is the central area for patrons. The new space, called the Marilyn Stokstad Reading Room, is designed to accommodate more patrons and includes a separate room
for study groups. Other improvements address emergency exits, noise control, enhanced security, new flooring, upgraded wiring, lighting and more power outlets. Stokstad, a professor of art history, funded the reading room with a $250,000 donation to KU Endowment in January, 2010. Stokstad's gift counted toward Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas, a university fund raising campaign scheduled to have a public kickoff in April 2012.

Pot distributor now a free man
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — As state and federal investigators came through the front door of a barn in Minnesota during a bust of the "Cornbread Mafia" in October 1987, Les Berry Jr. went out the back with six others and nearly escaped — captured the next day in Wisconsin. Now after a conviction and prison time, his slate has been wiped clean by a presidential pardon this month.
The Loretto, Ky., man pleaded guilty in 1988 to conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana and serve three years in federal prison for playing a bit part in what federal prosecutors described as one of the largest domestic marijuana syndicates in the country.
Berry, a one-time associate of 68-year-old Johnny Boone, a fugitive known as the "Godfather of Grass" and the "King of Pot," is now free of the legal taint carried by a criminal conviction. President Barack Obama pardoned Berry on Nov. 21, restoring his rights to vote and carry a firearm. No reason was given for granting the pardon.
Berry, 60 and declined to be interviewed about his pursuit and receipt of the pardon. But, the lead
"Fair is fair. The guy made a choice to commit a crime," said 63-year-old Phillip Wagner, who spent 16 years with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension before retiring in 2003. "Let the man get on with his life."
investigator in the "Cornbread Mafia" case said "I'm good with it" after Berry was pardoned.
But Wisconsin State Trooper Arden Asp, who arrested Berry after he fled the farm, said a pardon doesn't make any sense.
Berry, a former U.S. Marine, was a farm worker in west-central Minnesota for the "Cornbread Mafia" for about three weeks when the raid occurred. He slipped out of the barn and made his way to a small Minnesota town, bought a 1972 Chevy Impala and drove east with six others before being caught.
"I guess I'm rather surprised," Asp told The Associated Press.
Prosecutors said they found 48 tons of marijuana along with more than a dozen automatic and semi-automatic weapons and sophisticated alarms. The operation included a string of 29 farms in Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Wisconsin.

Tivol ads spark controversy,reflect trends
JOANNA HLAVACEK
editor@kansan.com
The Kansas City jeweler Tivol recently elicited strong reactions when it featured two men wearing wedding bands on a handful of billboards in the Kansas City metro area.
The billboard is just one of many advertisements in the "Tivol and Tomorrows" campaign that aims to reach out to a wide variety of consumers. Though this group includes same sex couples, the campaign features other "lifestyle shots" such as a mother and daughter baking a cake together while the mother sports a Tivol necklace. Director of marketing Adam Gebhardt said Tivol is carrying out a business plan, not voicing political opinions.
While the public's response has been "overwhelmingly positive," the billboards have had their share of criticism.
"People with negative comments have generally been very respectful.
They call and say, "That ad doesn't represent a lifestyle that I think is appropriate." Gebhardt said. "We've also received a few hateful letters that identified other minority groups, so those people were just loose canons."
Tivol is following an ongoing national trend of gay-friendly advertising.
This month, Absolut will celebrate a major milestone in its 132-year history with a $4 million commemorative campaign and advertisements in magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair to mark the Swedish vodka brand's 30th anniversary of marketing specifically to gay people.
From Subaru to American Airlines to Walmart, more
Absolut started running ads in gay publications in 1981, a time when most companies shied away from marketing to gays for fear of alienating the mainstream market. Now, 30 years later, Absolut is no longer the only company to target the LGBT community.
companies are starting to notice the desirability of the gay market. A 2006 Gay Press Report revealed more than $276 million is spent annually by businesses in gay marketing efforts. The gay market is so highly valued because national statistics show gays are generally well-educated, affluent, and have disposable income to spare. According to mygayweb.com, the average household income of gays and lesbians is more than $85,000, and gays are 3.4 times more likely than their straight counterparts to have a household income of more than $250,000.
One recent finding by Simmons Market Research Bureau showed that gay consumers are two times as likely to own a vacation home, 5.9 times as likely to own a home theater system and eight times as likely to own a laptop computer than heterosexual consumers.
In addition to demographics, the gay community has proven to be fiercely loyal to companies that portray gays positively in their
advertising.
"If you market to them, they will buy it," said Tami Albin, a women, gender, and sexuality studies subject librarian at the University of Kansas. "The Human Rights Campaign puts out a list of gay-friendly businesses, and people pay attention."
Companies may also reach out to gays in order to appeal to a public that's becoming increasingly more acceptant of the gay population. Tien-Tsung Lee, strategic communication track chair at the University of Kansas' William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, has conducted research in this area for more than 10 years. His findings show young people, especially women, are more tolerant of gay relationships.
"Society is more liberal and accepting. Therefore, the media simply represents what's going on," Lee said.
But to Gebhardt, Tivol's new billboards are simply business as

"We've always been on the cutting edge of advertising," Gebhardt said. "We wanted to demonstrate that our company is inclusive. We're not

Brownback apologizes for reaction to high schooler's tweet

Emma Sullivan, 18, of the Kansas City suburb of Fairway, Kan., was taking part in a Youth in Government program last week in Topeka, Kan., when she sent out a tweet from the back of a crowd of students listening to Brownback's greeting. From her cellphone, she thumbed: "Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person (hash)heblowsalot."
with friends, but Brownback's office, which monitors social media for postings containing the governor's name, contacted the youth program. Sullivan said she spent nearly an hour in the principal's office and was told to apologize in writing to the governor.
As word of the governor's office reaction spread, Sullivan went from 61 Twitter followers before the incident to more than 9,000 Monday — more than three times the number that follow Brownback's official
Twitter account.
The Shawnee Mission East senior decided to not write the apology letter and the school district issued a statement Monday saying there would be no repercussions.
"Whether and to whom any apologies are issued will be left to the individuals involved," the statement said. "The issue has resulted in many teachable moments concerning the use of social media. The district does not intend to take any further action on this matter."
Doug Bonney, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri, said the teen's speech was clearly protected by the First Amendment.
"Saying that the governor is no good and is a blowhard is core protected speech," Bonney said. "It's absolutely what the First Amendment was designed to protect."
Sullivan's 19-year-old sister, Olivia, told the AP her sister was in school Monday when their father
talked to school officials. The elder sister, who initially alerted the media about what happened, said she texted with her sister and the teen told her "things were fine."
Emma Sullivan said Sunday that she thought the tweet "has turned into a good starting point to open up dialogue about this free speech and the power of social media and the power that people my age could potentially have, that people will listen to us."

Stowaway released from jail
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A man convicted of getting a free ride from New York to Los Angeles using an expired boarding pass with someone else's name on it will be freed from federal prison having already spent five months behind bars.
"I am not just sorry for putting other flights in U.S. airspace on the 24th of June at risk but I'm deeply sorry for any heartache I might have caused," Noibi wrote in a letter for the sentencing. Noibi, dressed in a white prison jumpsuit with his head head and his eyes closed, did not speak at the sentencing. In the letter, he called his actions "reprehensible, disgraceful and downright absurd."
Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, 24, was sentenced Monday in a Los Angeles federal courtroom to time served after he pleaded guilty in August to a stowaway charge that carried a maximum five-year prison term. U.S. District Judge Manuel Real ordered Noibi, who has dual citizenship in the U.S. and Nigeria, to serve one year of supervised release and pay more than $950 in restitution to Virgin America.
Noibi said he showed the boarding pass to an airport hostess who didn't stop him before he got to the security checkpoint. There, he told a screener he lost his identification and showed her his student identification card and a police report that said his U.S. passport had been stolen. She called over a supervisor and he eventually was allowed to go to his gate, according to an FBI affidavit.
Nobi wanted to travel to Atlanta, where he has relatives, and found a boarding pass for a Los Angeles-bound flight on the ground at John F. Kennedy International Airport. He told FBI agents he hoped to find a Delta flight headed for Atlanta if he got past security, according to court documents.
But the incident raised questions about the effectiveness of airport security procedures.
He made it on the plane, and the flight crew didn't realize until mid-flight that an extra passenger was onboard in a premium seat that was supposed to be empty.
FBI agents interviewed Noibi when he got off the plane, but he wasn't arrested.
Noibi told federal investigators he was able to go through security screening in Los Angeles by presenting the same documents. It wasn't until he got to the gate for a Delta flight bound for Atlanta that an agent who scanned the expired boarding pass refused his entry on the plane.
Deputy federal public defender Carl Gunn said Noibi acted foolishly and his decision to get on a plane was a "spontaneous act." Gunn said his client had been drifting after leaving the University of Michigan and was at times homeless.
After spending several days in Los Angeles, Noibi tried to get on a Delta flight back to New York, again using an expired boarding
pass bearing someone else's name.
He was arrested June 29 at Los Angeles International Airport.
"Frustration and depression over this status is part of what led him to commit the offense in this case," Gunn wrote in court documents.
Noiib has since met with federal authorities and discussed how he was able to get through airport security screening.
"The silver lining to the cloud of Mr. Noibi's offense is that it will hopefully help the government tighten security procedures by revealing potential weaknesses in its present procedures." Gunn wrote in court documents.

PASADENA, Calif. — People who remember the sunny little girl, Carol Seavers, on "Growing Pains" would be surprised to see Tracey Gold today. an energetic, 42-year-old wife and mother of four boys, she not only overcame the burdens of being a child actress, she also vanquished an eating disorder that almost killed her.
Gold is trying to help other women who find themselves in the grip of anorexia or bulimia, the way she was when "Growing Pains" ended after seven years.
TELEVISION
"I began to feel like there needed to be a light shone on it for there to be more exposure. It was always such a hushed, quiet thing that people were embarrassed about. I just wanted to show eating disorders the way they truly are and take the idea of throwing the word 'anorexic' around so lightly, and also take on the idea that it's somehow a glamorous thing."
New show tackles eating disorders
"I watch TV and understand what people are watching and I thought through my involvement it could be something that was really good. So I approached GRB, the production company which does the show 'Intervention' who I had a relationship with before, and thought they'd be perfect to produce the show."
She received so much positive reinforcement that she kept at it. "I'd gone on such an extreme diet that once I hit my goal weight it was OK. Now I can move on. I didn't really know how to eat healthy. I knew how to be the girl who ate what I wanted or be the girl who was completely restricted. I didn't know a happy balance. So it started to cycle."
Gold's ordeal began with an innocent diet. "I'd always been a skinny, thin child and when I was around 18, 19 I started to gain little bit of weight. I was told by the producers that I needed to lose weight," she says.
The show was her idea.
It wasn't until she met her boyfriend-turned-husband that Gold's eating habits slowly began to normalize. Now, she is a happy mother of four boys. Although she said she is more secure with her body, she still aims to help other women.

'Daughter'a dud for Fox fall lineup
A pivotal moment in sitcom history occurred Sept. 24, 1984, near the end of the pilot for "The Cosby Show." Theo Huxtable is trying to worm his way out of a bad report card by pleading for his father to accept him as a run-of-the-mill teenager.
In that one scene, Bill Cosby reinvented the rules. No longer would cute kids run circles around their clueless parents. The grownups were now and forever in control.
"So rather than feeling disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe you should accept who I am and love me anyway, because I'm your son," he whines.
Except on "I Hate My Teenage Daughter."
This insipid new sitcom, debuting Wednesday, ignores Prof. Cosby by offering two mothers, Annie and Nikki, who are raising the most spoiled kids on Earth not named Kardashian.
The studio audience, trained out of habit, breaks into applause.
Cliff Huxtable stands up, waits a beat, and delivers the zinger: "Theo. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life! I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!"
In the opening episode, the brats hurl obscenities at their moms, question their weight and make fun of their clothing while tramping around in tight clothes that suggest they just served as hookers on Sunset Boulevard or as extras in a Brittney Spears video.
And how do the women respond to this abuse? By insisting the little devils go to their first school dance in a limousine.
You see, Annie and Nikki don't really hate their daughters. They hate themselves.
Tony winner Katie Finneran,
who plays Nikki, reacts like a wounded puppy to every barb.
In one moment of self-loathing,
she dives into a fruit pie with
More embarrassing than the dance is the notion that these women are so susceptible to the antics of their airhead daughters.
Pressly, a former model who won an Emmy for her impersonation of trailer trash in "My Name Is Earl," is a talented comedian, but you don't buy for one second that she was ever a big-butted, bumbling nerd in her youth. In an effort to get "revenge" on her daughter, Pressly's character dances in front of the girl's peers, who react as if Frankenstein's monster just teetered through the door. Yeah, right. If a hottie like Pressly boogied at my prom, I might actually have enjoyed myself.
This has been a banner season for strong, independent women, whether it's Kat Dennings' sassy waitress on "2 Broke Girls" or Zooey Deschanel's dare-to-be-different turn on "New Girl." It's also been the season of sniveling, insecture, sad-sack men who act like little boys. Too bad the women of "Teenage Daughter" turned its back on the gals and, instead, joined the pity party.

her hands.
Jaime Pressly, who portrays Annie, shows signs of pluckiness, especially in next week's episode, when she insists the two families bond over pizza and games. But she always ends up dissolving into butter at the sight of her ex-husband's brother (an unlikely, inexplicable crush) and at any suggestion that her daughter isn't her best friend.

I told my dad that I wanted to get my Mrs. degree. He told me I needed to work on my sandwich skills first.
I noticed my right arm is stronger than my left. To fix this I started masturbating with the left, and there has been much improvement.
I'm so sick of all the jokes about Gill. Could you have done better?

Despite costs, KU housing is still good option
In the last decade, housing and meal plan rates have been steadily increasing; next year will most likely be no exception. The Department of Student Housing proposed an increase in next academic year's housing and dining fees to the Kansas Board of Regents for its monthly meetings on Nov. 16 and 17.
I'm so good at procrastinating.
If only that was something you could major in...
If the Board approves the proposal in December's meetings, it would lead to a 2.8 percent increase in traditional housing costs for students and a 2.2 percent increase in costs for all dining plans. Renovated residence hall residents would see a 3.2
percent increase in housing costs while traditional Stouffer Place apartment costs would increase two percent and 2.5 percent for renovated rooms. Scholarship halls would experience hikes from 2.6 to 3.2 percent.
The total estimated revenue from the fee increases is $915,400.
Students in traditional doubleoccupancy housing would only have to pay an extra $104 per semester. Even with this increase, university housing is still a cheap, convenient option for new students.
Although students won't like a housing fee increase, it isn't the only university struggling to find supportive measures for its housing department. Both Pittsburg State University and Kansas State University are proposing higher cost increases at four and 3.5 percent respectively.
Also, the housing cost increases are investments for future residents. Next year, the Department of Student Housing expects to increase housing improvement expenses by $854,710. The proposed increase is necessary to cover this jump in expenses for renovations of Gertrude Sellards Pearson and McCollum residence halls.
Ding dong Gill is gone, Gill is gone, Gill is gone. Ding dong Turner Gill is gone!
But students still have the right to vent about continued increases in costs around the University. Friendly financial aid is turning into crippling student loan debt as many graduates struggle to find stable jobs. Students in Occupy movements are even calling for student loan debt forgiveness.
The Kansas Board of Regents has only heard the proposal and won't take action on it until its December meeting. If you are against these housing and dining cost increases and feel they are unfair, send an email as soon as possible to the regents' president and CEO Andy Tompkins at
atompkins@ksbor.org. A student voice should be expressed beyond the committees making the proposals.
Ultimately, it's up to students to decide where they want to live while receiving a quality KU education. So if the housing and dining fee increases pass in December and you disagree with the proposal, you still have the ability to live in cheaper and convenient off-campus houses in the student ghetto or consider other off-campus options like Naismith Hall.

Appreciating art
Walking through museums gives us a wonderful view of human creativity - from decadence to despair, from war to peace, from love to hate, from the absurd to the realistic. In one collection you may become uncomfortable, the next collection makes you laugh, and the next makes you cry. Museums hoard human emotions.
The best way to explore a museum is by not reading the descriptions of the pieces. No artist ancient or modern probably ever intended for his or her piece to end up behind a glass pane with a gray plaque next to it.
Who wouldn't want to be the new coach at KU? It's the shortest path to a sweet retirement plan.
By Alexis Knutsen

Over Thanksgiving Break I visited the Dallas Museum of Art which is quite a gem of a museum. As a classics major, one of my first stops was of course the Greek and Roman Art. On display was a collection of Greek and Roman gold jewelry which puts Tiffany&Co. to shame.
But art in the 21st century is hidden behind glass panes or is hung on walls be carefully guarded by museum employees in black suits. Every piece has a name, a description, a date. Some have a creator, others are anonymous.
The craftsmanship, the details, the creativity was so much more impeccable and imaginative than anything I see today lit up in jewelry displays. When a person from the 2nd century AD can carve a full figure of a woman on an earring no bigger than my thumbnail yet many of us in the 21st century can barely finish an English paper, it made me think what will end up in museums from our time in a few hundred years.
People are confused when I'm kind to them. That's sad.
Will it be our iPhones and computers, our kitchen gadgets, our furniture or clothing? Will there be
a little plaque describing an MP3 player or coffee maker?
What kind of society will our future descendants see - a culture obsessed with convenience and individuality and material things? Will we be considered a society of people who isolated themselves from the world through MP3's, televisions, and phones?
I went shopping on Black Friday for the first time. I had to go buy milk for my grandpa.
From my observations at museums, I can see that the Romans were a society obsessed with war, the Greeks obsessed with beauty, the Italians during the Renaissance and Medieval period obsessed with religion, and Buddhist societies obsessed with spirituality. These are shallow one dimensional perceptions since each society was much more complex than anything a museum can tell me, yet this is the impression they left for me.
We're not the real judges of our society and culture; the real judges are those living in posterity. They're the ones who are going to rewrite history books, who are going to sift through records and stories. They're the one who are going to choose what goes into the 21st century section of museums, and I hope we can leave behind a few good things for them to display.

Who is the ultimate TV alpha male? Two columnists face off to defend their favorite fictional males, Ron Swanson from "Parks and Recreation" and Jack Donaghy from "30 Rock."

TEAM SWANSON
The ultimate TV alpha male
Ron Ulysses Swanson is not just a man working for a small town government in the parks and recreation department. He is the man that every boy wants to grow up to be. He drinks whiskey, loves empowered women, believes mankind should have the freedom to do whatever the heck it wants to do, and most importantly: He loves meat.
Not only does he show no emotion, he is a master woodcrafter. Making many great things such as a hand crafted harp (while he was drunk on whiskey), a canoe and many other great things that
Ron likes to keep his emotions to a minimum, as a hilarious Internet meme shows all his facial expressions in different situations; they are all exactly the same face (except when he is drunk on Tom Haverford's Snake Juice). A straight face with his left eyebrow raised a little bit to give the impression that the viewer is constantly being judged. He sometimes calls people by the wrong name to remind them that he doesn't really care about them. He once started a fight in the office because it was "getting a little too cunning around here." He blamed the broken coffee pot on someone in the office, although he was the real one who broke it because, "it burned me, so I punched it."
Ron can hold his liquor, control his emotions, create amazing things out of wood, coach basketball, and demand respect. And that's just a small taste of Ron Ulysses Swanson. He is all that is man — And a man I would love to grow up to be.
men should know how to make with their bare hands. When he goes to Lowe's Home Improvement, he denies help from the people on staff to know things about home improvement because he "knows more."

Jack Donaghy is the definition of a true American. He was raised in Boston in an impoverished household. Everything he has accomplished has been by working hard and striving to succeed; he has proved that the American Dream is possible.
TEAM DONAGHY
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
Success: Jacky D. worked and paid his own way through college at Princeton, and then went on to Harvard Business School. After college he worked his way up to be the CEO of the microwave division of General Electric.
What makes Jack Donaghy the definition of a true American?
Swanson and Jack are both heavy drinkers and probably eats steaks for every meal. What makes Jack better is that each bottle of scotch he drinks probably cost more then Ron Swanson's house.
Politics: Jack is a Reagan man. As in the episode of "Reaganing" he is close to having a day where he is able to solve every problem that is presented to him as Reaganing, in which he views Reagan as living an error free life.
Both of them do have a common place and that is small government. Donaghy is constantly being held back by politicians who claim that he is being unethical and mistreating people, like in the episode where a democratic congresswomen is suing GE's subsidiary Sheinhardt Wig Company for leaking toxic chemicals into the Chicktaugua River and turning children orange, business is something that should not be controlled by the government. As Donaghy would say this country is founded on capitalism, not democracy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
First off all, I am dismayed with the use of a picture of Turner Gill and his daughter with the cover story for the UDK yesterday. Was there no other photo that could have been taken? I feel that this was an add-on to the growing amount of disrespect not just for Turner Gill but for the football program in general. I have never seen worse fans than these last two years when I've been to football games. I understand we were losing the majority of the games but fans stay and cheer on their team. I saw numerous instances where students were booing our own team - what is this? Are we bandwagging only when there are victories? It takes time to build a winning team. And two years in this case is simply not enough time. I believe that at the very least, we should have given him three years. Jeremiah Hatch put it well with his statement of "They probably don't know anything about football. The guy is a good man and he wants to win, off the field and on the field." I spoke to several of my friends who are either on
the football team or a part of the staff — and all resounded that firing him at this point was the wrong move. Personally, if all of the guys who play football think he should have had another year, I think that's a pretty good indicator of the quality of coach that he is. I understand that wanting to win isn't enough but the recruits that Turner Gill and his coaching staff brought in needed more time to develop in winning athletes. In addition, the fact that the man's character is full of integrity should carry more weight than just a couple closing remarks by our Chancellor and AD. Was this not the reason that Mangino was "releived of his duties?" I'm thankful that Turner Gill never got arrested for drunk driving — unlike another program that I know of. I'm saddened to see that wins seem to be the only thing that matters. I hope we can find another coach of that integrity.

Meyer to fill Ohio State job
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Urban Meyer said the concerned that caused him to step down at Florida are no longer a problem for him. At his introductory press conference as the new head coach at Ohio State in Columbus, Meyer said he feels healthy and has spent the past year learning how to maintain balance between work and family.
"Health-wise, I feel great. I had a scare a couple years ago," he said. "Made me sit back, reflect. I didn't feel right. But I feel fantastic now." Meyer resigned on Dec. 8, citing a desire to spend more time with his family as the reason.
His health had been a concern with his first resignation at Florida, in Dec. 2009, and Meyer said that was a reason in the weeks and months following the end of his time at Florida.
Meyer said the Ohio State job is the only one he would have accepted for 2012.
"My six years in Florida, Florida was my dream job," he said. "As far back as I can remember, other than those 60 minutes in Glendale, I've always followed the Buckeyes."
He signed a six-year contract that will pay him $4 million annually, with the opportunity for academic and performance bonuses.

Two volleyball players receive recognition
The Kansas volleyball team's departing star senior received one final accolade on Monday. Her standout sophomore teammate received two.
Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield and sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc were both given honorable mentions on the All-Big 12 Conference Team, and Jarmoc collected her second Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award.
Mayfield broke the Kansas single-season kill records in the final game of her career on Saturday against Baylor, setting the new benchmark at 462.
It marks the first time since 2003 that the Jayhawks (15-14, 3-13) have landed two spots on the squad.
Jarmor finished her season second in the big 12 with 1.25 blocks per set. She led the way defensively for the Jayhawks against Baylor, notching five blocks.

Robinson named Big 12 Player of the Week
Junior forward Thomas Robinson was named the Big 12 Player of the Week. Kansas Athletics announced Monday. "It's definitely a great honor," Robinson said. "But I don't plan for this to be my only one."
In last week's action at the Maui Invitational, Robinson was named to the
All-Tournament team after averaging 17.0 points and 12.3 rebounds in the victories over Georgetown and UCLA and the loss to No. 6 Duke in the championship game.
Robinson was named a preseason First-Team All-American by CBS Sports. com last month and has recorded a double-double in each of his five games this season.

Tressel resigned from OSU in May during the NCAA investigation of impermissible benefits for his players and currently serves as a consultant for the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.

Mitchell, formerly the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator, put a timetable on the search for the next head coach.
"There's going to be a head coach hired within the next 10 to 15 days."
Mitchell said.
As for recruiting, Mitchell said that wide receivers coach David Beatty and defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt would join him on the road recruiting.
He said no players had decommitted or opened up their recruitment and that the coaches will be in the homes of the incoming players within 24 hours.
Mitchell said the current players understand that coaches have to win games in order to stay and be successful. While he did say that Kansas' coaches were disappointed, he said that they understand what is going on.
"We came here to do a job and we would love to be able to do it with coach Gill," Mitchell said. "Now that's not possible, so we just have to be professional and keep moving forward."

Multi-sport athletes are dying breed
If you're not a teenage girl and you went to a movie this weekend, chances are you went to see the new Muppets movie.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
Now I was not one of those fortunate enough to make it to the theaters this weekend, but of all the movies currently out right now, "The Muppets" tops my list. I want to see the film not only because it harends back memories of my youth, watching VHS tapes of the Muppets, but because Jason Segel — who stars in the movie and was the driving force behind its production — reminds me of the great multi-sport athletes of past generations.
Segel, who achieved fame for his roles in comedies such as "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," is a talented musician as well.
But while celebrities who can sing and act, such as Justin Timberlake and Matthew Broderick, still thrive in show business, multi-sport athletes are dying bread.
Part of the problem is how long sports seasons last. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training in February, while the
basketball season stretches from October till late June.
Colleges are even limiting the options multi-sport athletes have. Russell Wilson left N.C. State after his coach demoted him to second string because he wanted to continue to play baseball as well as football.
Now he's taken Wisconsin to the Big Ten title game, while N.C. State finished their season with a 7-5 record.
Another problem is forced specialization. Kids are being told that if they want
to make it to the next level, they need to choose one sport at a young age and stick to it year-round, instead of taking time off and playing other sports.
Too much time at one sport can burn kids out and prevent them from developing other skills that could come to help them out later.
Owners are leery of allowing their stars to play other sports as well. Back in the day, Al Davis and Bo Jackson had an agreement that he would only play football after the baseball season ended. Deon Sanders had an agreement where he returned to football for training camp, but from 1992 on, he was allowed to return to the Braves for the post-season.
Nowadays, with the amount of money the owners invest in players, this would never be allowed. An all-star running back is already an injury risk enough just playing his own sport, let alone having to worry about injuries diving to make a play on the baseball field.
KU
Unfortunately, these impediments id us of the joy of watching natural all-around
athletes excel professionally in two sports. Instead, it leaves us wondering, what would've happened had Bubba Starling chosen football instead?

COMMENTARY
Successful football coaches are ultimately measured in wins and losses, and not by the quality of their character. Turner Gill was perhaps the greatest person to ever take charge of the Kansas football program, but he was not the right coach for the job.
Gill not the right fit for KU
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
After two dismal seasons in Lawrence, athletics director Sheahon Zenger informed Gill on Sunday that he was relieved of his duties as Kansas' head football coach.
Although it was clear Gill put every ounce of energy and passion into coaching at Kansas, his tenure was an outright failure; there is no other way to see it.
Yes, Gill inherited a program and team virtually devoid of all talent left over from the 2008 Orange Bowl championship team, so Kansas was not expected to immediately compete for Big 12 titles. The problem with Gill was not just that he was losing, but that his team looked completely clueless and regressed dramatically despite an upgrade in talent from last year's team.
Gill's record at Kansas was 5-19, he never beat rivals Kansas State and Missouri and failed to capture a single road victory. Even though Kansas was expected by many to finish last in the Big 12 this season, nobody could have expected the staggering nature of the defeats.
Kansas lost 10 games in 2011, but the record-breaking fashion of the defeats was Gill's undoing.
After winning the first two games of the season, Kansas traveled to Atlanta to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Jayhawks had upset Georgia Tech in Lawrence last season, so this was a great opportunity for Gill and his staff to sweep both the non-conference schedule and the series. What ensued was one of the most embarrassing and lackluster defensive displays in college football's modern era. The Yellow Jackets won 62-44, accumulating 768 total yards and 608 rushing yards. The loss dropped Kansas to 2-1, and the Jayhawks went on to lose every remaining game — all but two by double digits.
The end of the Gill era is the end of a tumultuous three-year period for Kansas football. Former athletics director Lew Perkins forced out the Jayhawks winningest coach Mark Mangino for "mistreatment" of players, and he decided to hire Mangino's polar opposite in Gill.
Despite an unimpressive 20-30 record at Buffalo, Gill was given a five-year, $10 million contract (all guaranteed money). Perkins boasted that Gill was a man of high character who would be a role model for the Kansas football program. Gill definitely lived up to that billing, but he was brought in to Lawrence to win games first and foremost. As much as I would have liked for Gill to succeed at Kansas, he did not give Zenger any reason to believe that the football program would improve in his third year.
Having lost all momentum from the Orange Bowl title, the next coach at Kansas must rebuild the program from the ground up. Let the search begin.

job. Leach had success in the Big 12 in his 10 seasons at the helm of the Red Raiders, taking them to a bowl game each season. Texas Tech fired Leach amid a controversy involving treatment of players, which might bring back memories of Mark Mangino to Kansas fans. Leach is one of the biggest names on the market, and if he wants a chance to reestablish himself in the Big 12, Kansas is the place.
JIM LEAVITT
Age:54
Previous head coaching experience: South Florida 1997-2009 (94-57 in 13 seasons)
Bio: Leavitt is currently the linebacker coach for the San Francisco 49ers, following
his successful 13 seasons as the head coach at South Florida. He coached the Bulls in their first Football Bowl Subdivision season and had a record of 8-3. In 2005, South Florida moved to the Big East and made a bowl game in each Leavitt's four seasons in the conference. While Zenger coached under him at South Florida for one season, Leavitt was fired for alleged abuse of a player, which, like Leach, might initially anger some Jayhawk fans.

Bio: Currently at Southern Mississippi, Fedora is known as an offensive-minded coach, and

he's had success offensively throughout his career. Fedora was born in Texas and has strong recruiting ties to the region, which makes him an attractive candidate for Kansas. His teams at Southern Mississippi have never missed a bowl game, and his 2011 team finished first in Conference USA. Fedora is a good backup for Kansas and is likely to be a favorite for the Mississippi job.

Sumlin has experience as an assistant at big schools such as Oklahoma and could be persuaded to take his game up to a major conference if the situation is right. Sumlin is currently very happy in Houston and although moving to Kansas would be a step up in competition, the quality of the team he takes over might not be at the same level as the one he currently coaches.

defensive coordinator. Venables would be an attractive coaching candidate given the amount of time he has spent in the Big 12, the success his defensive success and the fact that Kansas is his home state. But the major drawback to Venables is his lack of head coaching experience, so it would be a risk bringing in a first-time guy to turn around a program.
MARK STOOPS
Age: 44
Previous head coaching experience: None
Previous head coaching experience: None
Bio: Stoops is the younger brother of Bob and Mike Stoops. His brother Bob is a legend at Oklahoma, but after his brother Mike was recently fired at Arkansas, Mark will not be hired on name alone. Stoops' unit is currently ranked sixth in the nation in total defense, second in rushing defense and fourth in scoring defense. With his

defenses continuing to perform, it's only a matter of time before he gets a shot at a head coaching position, but whether Stoops can replicate the success he's had in the ACC in a stronger conference such as the Big 12 remains to be seen.
DAVE DOEREN
Age:39
Bio: Doeren is seen as an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks and is coming off a successful first season as a head coach. Doeren is a Kansas native and served as the linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator for the Jayhawks from 2002-2005. Doeren

Self doesn't trust his bench just yet
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/udk_bball
In the final minutes of the Maui Invitational championship, when Kansas faded against Duke, coach Bill Self was without a choice. His starters were exhausted, but they had to play.
"We're better off having veterans in there that are tired, than young-sters that don't know what they're doing yet," Self said.
Last season, Self deployed a 10-player rotation that usually featured Thomas Robinson (14.6 minutes per game), Josh Selby (20.4), Marion Little (13.7), Travis Releford (10.4) and Elijah Johnson (13.7) off
He admitted after the Duke loss that he probably overplayed some of the players. It wasn't because he forgot about fatigue or misread his team's level of energy. He just had no one else to throw in the game.
the bench.
This season, however, Self has much less depth. He has relied on senior guard Conner Teahan to come off the bench and provide a shooting touch. After a sharp start to the season, Teahan converted just one 3-point shot in the entire Maui Invitational. Then there's freshman guard Naadir Tharpe, junior forward Kevin Young and sophomore forward Kevin Wesley; the talents who have meshed at times, but
Tharpe has the intelligence and composure to excel in Self's half-
court, pass-heavy sets. But before Tharpe can showcase any of his skills, he must first take care of the ball, an issue that
plagued Kansas against Duke.
"Naadir turned that sucker over too?" Self said.
Young must grab rebounds and loose balls, areas that require consistent improvement from the front court. His physical attributes make him a hybrid, able to play as a guard inside the paint and as a
forward on the outside. By doing so, Young can draw defenders away from their usual spots on the floor and create mismatches for himself and for teammates.
"Those are usually the hardest teams to guard." Self said of teams with the versatility Young can offer.
Wesley has been hindered by foul trouble this year. In just 38 minutes played in the Maui Invitational, he tallied 14 fouls. His athleticism can create opportunities as a scorer and defender, but if he's not on the floor, he's not any help.
Tharpe, Wesley and Young will crack the rotation in key moments only after they earn Self's trust by playing defense and bringing their skills up to speed.
"He's still thinking" Self said of Wesley. "He's not reacting."
Self's mantra has always been: when the little things come together, the scoring will follow.
"These guys are starting to learn coach Self and how he works," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said.

She said she'd use the rental program if the cost was reasonable.
Sylas May, a freshman from Derby, bikes to class because he likes the freedom of biking and he finds it difficult to understand the bus schedules. He said he thought students could benefit from a bike renal program. He said it would give people more access to easy transportation.
"There are definitely kids who want to get to class faster," he said. Diskin also said he thought there is a large number of out of state students who would use the program.
Kaden Diskin, a freshman from Wichita, said he bikes to class regularly, but if something were to happen to his bike he would use a bike rental program. He said he thought a lot of students would take advantage of a rental program.
"I would consider using it during early fall and spring," Burroff said.
Myron Liu, a member of the bike rental focus group, said the bike rental program would consist of either automated or manned stations across campus where bikes can be rented from and returned to. Liu, a senior from Lawrence, said the New Venture class was in the processes of surveying students for the preferred location of rental stations.

Other locations considered include both the Kansas and Burge Unions and student housing locations.
Funding for the program is still unknown, but Liu said an optional campus fee would give students an unlimited number of rentals and rental time.
Liu said his group choose to work with Student Senate to develop the bike rental program.
Liu said about 50 students are enrolled in the class, which is divided into nine groups. Each group must work with a client to develop a structure and funding for that business.

WIDE OPEN READING
SAME BOOKS, NEW SPACE
KU LIBRARIES
The University of Kansas
Marilyn Stokstad, left, professor of art history, and Lorraine J. Haricombe, dean of KU Libraries, spoke Tuesday at the opening of a new reading room named in Stokstad's honor at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library. The library's collection is not open for circulation, so the reading room is the central area for patrons. The new space, called the Marilyn Stokstad Reading Room, is designed to accommodate more patrons and includes a separate room for study groups. Stokstad, a professor of art history, funded the reading room with a $250,000 donation to KU Endowment in January, 2010.

Sale raises money for art club

ANNUAL BOWTIE

If the phrase 'holiday art' evokes thoughts of glitter, snowmen and overwhelming amounts of red and green, the holiday art sale in the Kansas Union showcasing students' work will be a welcome surprise. The sale includes pieces from the University's ceramics, textile and metalwork clubs, but nothing overtly seasonal.
"We try to encourage it as a 'gifts-to-give sale,' said ceramics club president Ashley Bowser, a senior from Topeka.
Nici Ashner, a junior from Overland Park, folds scarves during the holiday art sale. The crafts on Ashner's table were made in the installation piece "Earthworks" by Neil Gross this past spring.
ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN
Ceramics students crafted bowls, mugs and plates, along with less traditional items such as a skull and fortune cookies, complete with folded paper fortunes. Delicate silver jewelry is available at the metalworks table, while the textile club sells hats, scarves and hand-sewn felt ornaments.
Many pieces cost less than $30, although some of the larger or more labor-intensive works can cost more. Artists set their own prices, said textiles club president and Pittsburg senior Caroline Howard, which is part of what makes the sale a good real-world experience for art students.
"It will be a baby step, an experience in to how to price, market and' present your work." Howard said.
For underclassmen majoring in
art who have not yet decided on a specialty in their program, the sale also provides an opportunity to see which kinds of art are the most in demand by consumers. Students can see what sells, and what doesn't, and use that information to direct their studies.
Participating artists benefit in another, more immediate way. They receive most of the profit from their sales, with a portion
going to their club. Bowser said that last year the ceramics club raised $2,000 from the sale, and the money went toward sending club members to a conference.
Although the clubs posted fliers around campus advertising the sale, many students, such as Ann Gorsuch, a senior from Overland Park, stopped by while passing through the Kansas Union.
"I was expecting the prices to
be a lot higher, but they're actually pretty good and a lot of the stuff is really cool," Gorsuch said. "I'm thinking about getting my parents an early Christmas present."
The art sale is on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union and runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.today and Thursday.

HERMOSILLO, Mexico
An activist who publicly accused police officers of kidnapping his teenage son was shot to death in an attack that instantly fueled Mexico's bitter nationwidedebate over crime and corruption.
Corrupt officials were being blamed Tuesday by citizen activists who worked with Nepomuceno Moreno in a national anti-crime movement that has been calling for an end to organized crime, police abuse and a military-led government assault on drug cartels.
The prosecutor's office in the northern border state of Sonora told reporters that Moreno had a criminal past and it was that, not activism, which appeared to have led to his death. Officials said Moreno was shot at least five times when he stopped his van at an intersection Monday afternoon in Hermosillo, the capital city of Sonora.
The exchange of blame for Moreno's death echoed a wider national dispute.
Moreno, a 56-year-old sidewalk seafood vendor, became one of the most visible faces of Mexico's anti-crime movement after his 18-year-old son Jorge Mario disappeared in July last year.
HARARE. Zimbabwe
A militant youth group loyal to Zimbabwe's president is calling for a boycott of a restaurant chain whose latest advertise ment depicts the aging, authoritarian president as "the last dictator standing," state radio reported Tuesday.
To the soundtrack of Mary Hopkin's hit song "Those were the days, my friend," the commercial shows an actor playing Mugabe reminiscing about his times with former dictators. It portrays him and Gadhafi engaging in a water-pistol fight, with Gadhafi wielding a golden AK-47 water pistol.
The radio quoted the head of the group calling for South Africa-based Nando's to withdraw the ad that depicts President Robert Mugabe or face punitive action. Jimu Kunaka, the head of group known as Chipangano, said the restaurant chain risked action including a boycott. Chipangano is a "brotherhood" of Mugabe loyalists.
The commercial that touts chicken shows Mugabe dining alone at Christmas, his empty table set for departed dictators including Moammar Gadhafi.
Eurozone ministers threw a lifeline to Greece on Tuesday as they scrambled to prevent financial chaos from spreading further and driving Europe's common euro currency into a catastrophic breakup.
The monthly meeting of 17 nations was dominated by attempts to keep Greece afloat and find enough money to coat a veneer of credibility over Europe's rescue fund. It came on the third straight day that Italy has taken a beating in the bond markets, with investors growing increasingly wary of the country's chances of avoiding default.
BRUSSELS, Belgium
Markets rose for the second day Tuesday on hopes that the enormous pressures on the ministers would produce some results.
The finance ministers approved the next installment of the Greece's bailout loan — $1 billion euro ($10.7 billion). Without that money, Greece would have run out of cash before Christmas, unable to pay employees or provide services. Two officials in Brussels reported the development, speaking on condition of anonymity while the meeting was still going on.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
Pakistan withdrew from an international conference on stabilizing Afghanistan to protest the deadly attack by American forces on its troops, widening a fresh rupture in ties with an ally that is endangering the U.S. plan for gradually ending the war.
In an unusually hostile comment, a top Pakistani army general said Tuesday the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers were the result of a "deliberate act of aggression." He said the military hasn't decided whether to take part in an American investigation into the weekend encounter along the mountainous Afghan border.
The hard line was aimed partly at pacifying the country's anti-American public, most of whom detest their leaders' close association with Washington. The uncompromising stance of the army was also likely designed to press for more concessions from Washington.
Regardless of motive, Pakistan's retaliatory moves and tough rhetoric lower the chances of greater cooperation in the Afghan war and will make it harder to repair ties with the U.S. once emotions cool.
CRIMINAL
Teen accused of murder briefly appears in court
A teen accused of murder made his first public court appearance Tuesday on charges he was part of a deadly robbery team that lured victims with a phony job ad, appearing dazed as a judge postponed a hearing on whether he should be tried as an adult.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 16-year-old boy appeared briefly in a courtroom in Noble County. A juvenile judge put off the hearing because the boy's father, who wasn't present, hadn't received proper notice of charges filed last week. The next hearing will probably happen in a couple of weeks, the judge said.
The Akron teenager faces juvenile charges of aggravated murder, complicity to aggravated murder, attempted murder and complicity to attempted murder in the death of one man and the shooting of another. He is a junior at Stow Munroe City Schools, about 40 miles southeast of Cleveland, and is being held at a juvenile detention center in Muskinguum County.
The boy wore sneakers, dark slacks, a shirt and a rain jacket as he was led into court with his hands cuffed in front of him, appearing slightly stunned. He didn't speak during the hearing or afterward as police hustled him into a police car
His mother sat on a bench directly behind him during the short hearing, rocking back and forth and appearing on the verge of tears. She left the courthouse hurriedly and gave only a few fleeting comments as she walked briskly to a black pickup across the street.
"We're praying for the families and the victims," she said to reporters. After she got into the passenger seat, she rolled the window down and said, "God bless you all. Do the right thing. Get the truth."
Authorities say the teenager was involved in a scheme in which applicants answering a Craigslist ad for a phony job at a nonexistent cattle ranch in Noble County, 90 miles south of Akron in rural southeastern Ohio, were robbed, then killed. Authorities say they have connected two bodies to the scheme and identified one other man who was shot but escaped.
The teen was questioned by the FBI and arrested in mid-November several days after Scott Davis, of South Carolina, said was shot in the arm and escaped after he answered the ad.

U. S. businessman Gary Giordano, center, photographed shortly after being freed from police custody, sitting in the back of an SUV driven away from an Arban detention facility by local lawyer Chris Lejeuz, and American lawyer Jose Baez, left, in Oranjestad, Aruba, Monday, Nov. 29. Giordano, held since Aug. 5, is free to leave the island, although prosecutors say he is still their prime suspect in the disappearance of his traveling companion.
American man freed from jail
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORANJESTAD, Aruba—A U.S. businessman was released from jail in Aruba on Tuesday and free to leave the island, although prosecutors continue to try to put him back behind bars as a suspect in the disappearance of his traveling companion.
Gary Gliorand left prison in an SUV with his lawyers, entering the vehicle behind a concrete wall so he was hidden from journalists waiting outside. He made no statements as he drove off and headed to a hotel in the center of Oranjestad. Prosecutors expect him to leave the island at the first opportunity but his immediate plans were not clear.
"Gary Giordano is happy to be out of prison, yet he is very unusey" his Aruban attorney, Chris Lejuez, told The Associated Press. "He still feels something could go wrong and he could be back in prison."
Giordano, who denies any wrongdoing in the disappearance
of Robyn Gardner, was freed after nearly four months in custody under a court order issued by a judge who ruled prosecutors didn't have enough evidence to justify holding him longer.
Prosecuters say they are still trying to build a case against him and will seek his extradition if an appeal's court ruling expected Wednesday issues a reversal and orders the 50-year-old businessman back to jail.
"The case does not end here. Mr. Giordano will remain our prime suspect," said Solicitor General Taco Stein.
Giordano has been a suspect since Aug. 5, three days after reporting to police that Gardner was apparently pulled out to sea while they were snorkeling off the southern tip of the island. Her body has never been found despite extensive searches, leaving investigators with only a circumstantial case that a crime was even committed.

Report finds cause of fire
Investigators have identified an overheated refrigerator as the likely cause of Saturday's fire in Malott Hall, according to the University. Lawrence Fire and Medical's full report is not finished yet, but a detective investigating the fire suggested the condenser and condensation tray on the back of the refrigerator as the fire's point of origin, according to Jack Martin, spokesman for the University.
The fire occurred in a chemistry laboratory on the fifth floor at around 7:15 a.m. and was extinguished with no injuries reported. Investigators suspect no criminal activity. The laboratory remains closed, but Malott Hall remains open and no classes have been canceled or relocated. Two laboratories on the third and fourth floors suffered water damage during the fire department's response. Facilities and Operations staff continued Tuesday with cleaning and repair efforts, but no estimation of the cost of the damage was available.

Cain may drop out after new claims
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Herman Cain told aides Tuesday he is assessing whether the latest allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against him "create too much of a cloud" for his Republican presidential candidacy to go forward.
Acknowledging the "firestorm" arising from an accusation of infidelity, Cain only committed to keeping his campaign schedule for the next several days, in a conference call with his senior staff.
had stated unequivocally that Cain would not quit.
"If a decision is made, different than to plow ahead, you all will be the first to know" he said, according to a transcript of the call made by the National Review, which listened to the conversation.
It was the first time doubts about Cain's continued candidacy had surfaced from the candidate himself. As recently as Tuesday morning, a campaign spokesman
Cain dined anew that he had an extramartial affair with a Georgia woman who went public a day earlier with allegations they had been intimate for 13 years.
"It was just a friendship relationship," he said on the call, according to the transcript. "That being said, obviously, this is a cause for reassessment."
He went on: "With this latest one, we have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people's minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth."
Saying the episode had taken an emotional toll on him and his family, Cain told the aides that people will have to decide whether they believe him or the accuser.

Illinois considers business tax plan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, III. — What a state takes away, it also can give back.
Less than a year after raising personal and corporate income taxes, Illinois officials are now considering a $250 million package of tax breaks for several prominent businesses threatening to leave the state, including Sears and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. To make the measure more palatable, individual taxpayers also would get a dollop of relief.
The idea of giving tax breaks to companies is a hard sell in the state Legislature when many families are struggling and the Occupy Wall Street movement is reflecting anger at corporate interests. But advocates say if Illinois doesn't take action, the businesses and their thousands of jobs will be lured away by states that are eager to take advantage.
"If we don't do it, another state will. That's the reality of the world in which we live," said Rep. John Bradley, a Marion Democrat who is chairman of the Illinois House Revenue Committee.
The Illinois Senate approved the tax breaks Tuesday, but the House rejected them with an overwhelming 8-99 vote. With no hope of a quick resolution, lawmakers ended their brief session and went home until negotiators come up with a new, more palatable version.
Illinois' tax dilemma is a collision between two different goals: Balancing the budget and avoiding the image of a state that's bad for business. And in the process, officials want to avoid being exploited by companies making threats, perhaps empty ones, to flee Illinois.
When 2011 began, the state faced a deficit projected to hit $15 billion. The Democratic governor and Democratic majorities in the Legislature decided an income tax increase had to be part of the response to that gap.
They bumped the individual tax
rate to 5 percent, up from 3 percent originally, and the corporate rate to 7 percent, from 4.8 percent. The increase, most of which is temporary and will expire in stages over the next 15 years, is supposed to generate about $6.8 billion in its first year.
Other states pounced. New Jersey, Indiana, Wisconsin and more began promoting themselves to Illinois businesses. They succeeded in drawing some companies away, despite protestations from Illinois officials that the state still has a low overall tax burden.
In the months since then, the same Democratic governor and Democratic legislators have passed measures to cut business costs for workers' compensation and unemployment insurance costs. Now the package of tax breaks is on the table.
Doug Whitley, president of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, sees the proposal as acknowledgment that officials went too far with the January tax increase.
"They overreached," Whitley said. "They're trying to bring the pendulum back to a more middle ground and they're trying to send a strong message to employers that elected officials are not oblivious to their outcry."
The tax package would renew a $15 million income tax credit and a break on local property taxes for Sears Holdings Corp.
The proposal also cuts income taxes about $85 million for CME Group Inc. and CBOE Holdings Inc., which run the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
The companies complain that they are still taxed on every transaction they handle, as if all business is still conducted by shouting men on trading floors, when most of their trades are now done electronically by buyers and sellers who have no connection to Illinois. The legislation being discussed would tax the exchanges on only 27.54 percent of their revenues.

cramming and caffeine may work for some, the key to making it through alive (and with all your hair) is reducing stress and practicing better study habits.
I learned my mom used to snort coke. That was a good Thanksgiving.
It wouldn't be finals week if students were overwhelmed, but thanks to the service of Student Success and their website www.finishstrong.ku.edu, students can view numerous tips on keeping their mind, body and study habits in check during such a stressful time.
Some tips from the website include taking one 20-minute break for every two hours of studying. Maintaining a 1-to-6
break-study ratio proves to be helpful so your focus is clear and your objective is good grades.
Public Health Educator in the Health Education Resource Office at Student Health Services Ken Sarber said that creating a study schedule and sticking to it could help prevent unnecessary stress the week of finals.
"It is also important for students to accept and seek out help when needed," Sarber said. "Help with this can come from resources such as KU Counseling and Psychological Services, KU Tutoring Services, or sometimes just talking about your
It has also been proven that engaging in physical activity can help keep the stress levels low.

upcoming challenges with a friend or family member can help."
Help on campus comes in numerous forms during this hectic time of the year. The Academic Achievement and Access Center offers study videos on their site, as well as relaxation tips and guidelines on their Academic Success 101 site. A program called Late Night at the Studio offers free walk-in help for Kansas students in various math and science courses from 9 p.m. to midnight, Sunday through Wednesday, from now until Dec. 7 in Anschutz Library.
Students should definitely take advantage of these opportunities and start finals preparation now.

Finding organic foods
HEALTH
Headaches and lack of energy are things that people, especially college students, face every day. The chemicals in conventional foods, due to the way they are grown and prepared, are great contributors to these problems.
These chemicals contribute to and sometimes even cause other health issues as well. Sulfites can both cause and aggravate asthma in people of all ages. Food additives are the biggest culprits. They are responsible for promoting skin problems, asthma and ADHD by causing hypersensitivity. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires clear labeling of the presence of trans fatty acids (TFA) in some foods, there are still foods out there, including the college-staple fast food, with TFA. These greatly increase the risk of heart disease.
While these problems can't be solved overnight, there are ways to reduce them and make you feel healthier — organic foods. However, many people are not aware of the plethora of resources in Lawrence to purchase organic foods. Luckily, I am here to inform you all.
These health risks terrify me (and I would hope they terrify you too). They are problems that could develop now or in handfuls of years just because of the foods we eat.
By Rachel Schwartz

First, we will start out with hamburgers. I am a huge hamburger fan, but I'm not much of a cooker. After a while, though, fast-food burgers get old. Not to mention the fact that all of that grease and conventional grossness takes quite a toll on the tummy leaving me feeling bloated and ready for a nap. So, if you're not into that, which I don't see why you would be. Local Burger is a great alternative.
The food at Local Burger is local, organic and fresh unlike those fast food burgers that are sometimes just whipped out of the fridge. There are also a variety of burgers with everything from turkey to tofu if you're feeling adventurous.
If you want a cozier environment to sip some coffee and study, Wheatfields is a great option. They use organic flours, seeds and wheat in their breads and bagels. Also, they use organic, local ingredients in many of their other foods as well. Wheatfields is the place to go whether you want some breakfast or a tasty sandwich.
If you enjoy cooking your own food, there are a few stores in Lawrence many local organic options. The Community Mercantile, more commonly known
as The Merc, is a well-known organic health food store around here. They have a deli, and aisles and aisles of organic, healthy groceries. If you're not quite up to par on your cooking skills but are eager to learn, they even offer cooking classes. This store may seem overwhelming at first, but, once you've been there a few times, it becomes more familiar and peaceful — I promise.
There's also a new health food store in town that I have not yet had the chance to explore. The mission of Natural Grocers is to benefit everyone. Well, that sounds quite appealing. If you are worried about cost, which you must be as a poor college student, they offer daily promotions and discounts. They have all types of grocery foods, natural body care products, vitamins and even organic pet foods.
Now that you know about some of the organic resources in Lawrence, why not check them out? Eating these foods will have a great impact on your health and energy, which, with finals just around the corner, is especially crucial. Good luck on finals and happy eating!

mmatney@kansan.com
At the beginning of this semester, I mapped out a very tight, busy and precise weekly schedule I was going to follow so that I would have my life under control. I was working at an internship in Kansas City two full days every week while handling my duties as the editor Of The Kansan's opinion page, overseeing a staff of about 25 writers, and going to school full time.
I was determined to be the best intern, student and editor as I possibly could and I believed that I could handle everything if I just stuck to my schedule.
I learned very quickly that there are some things you just can't plan for.
Two people in my life who I cared about died unexpectedly. My house was robbed. One of my roommates and I were no longer speaking. My boyfriend and I broke up (as I was making desperate attempts at getting myself together).
Suddenly, within the period of about two months, everything seemed to be out of control. I was overinvested in so many things and felt like I was doing a terrible job getting anything done; at the same time, things that I used to depend on for comfort, such as the feeling of safety in my own home, were no longer there.
I was nearly emotionless driving to work on 1-70 one morning, hating almost everything in my life, feeling sorry for myself for being so helpless, and desperately wanting to clutch the feeling of control again.
And then, I crashed.
The driver of the car in front of me slammed on the brakes. My car slipped on gravel when I braked and it caused my car to spin uncontrollably.
As my car spun out at a speed of nearly 70 mph, I grew numb realizing that I was enveloped in a living metaphor of my own emotions literally jumping out of control.
My body ejected forward into my airbag as I crashed into the ce-
median and objects in my car flew in different directions; I helplessly expected for a car from behind to crush me and end everything.
I don't know why or how, but miraculously I wasn't hurt beyond a few bruises from the airbag and severe whiplash.
It took me a few days to take it all in, but I soon realized that I crashed for a good reason.
I learned that no matter how hard you try, you just can't control some things in life. You can't waste time in despair wishing things were different and feeling sorry for yourself. The only way you gain control is changing your perspective and finding the meaning behind the pain.
You learn much more wallowing at rock bottom than you do from being on top. At the beginning of the semester, when I actually had my life under control, I had no time for things that were really important. I was so invested in getting from point A to point B and excelling in all of my responsibilities that I never stopped to think "Hev. at least I'm alive."
I was on strong pain medication during the few days after my accident and did nothing but lie around and watch TV. But because of my friends and family, I never felt alone and always felt grateful. The level of appreciation I gained for the people who I clutched onto to pull me back on my feet couldn't have been achieved in any other way.
My only brother died nearly 14 years ago and I've learned that almost all aspects in my life have evolved around it ever since. I never really expect to find the real meaning of why he died, but things like this help me find good that has risen from the tragedy. This semester tested my strength. My perspective quickly changed when I was on the brink of giving up and losing all hope when my mom told me, "Mandy, you've been through worse." I couldn't have asked for better motivation. It's ironic how I wound up being thankful for the things that hurt me so badly.
While I still don't have total control over of my life, I now have confidence that it will all be OK. It's all a matter of perspective.

AUGUST 2015 AT 9:30AM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA MUSIC ALCAMPUS FIELD HALL.
ROB CARR/AP FILE PHOTO
In this Feb. 7, 2010 photo, the Florida A&M University band performs on the field before the NFL Super Bowl XLV football game between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, in Miami. Florida A&M University President James Ammons is suspending all practices and performances of the school's famed Marching 100 band until investigators can determine what led to a member's death last week. Ammons announced Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011, that the school will form an independent task force to look into the death of 26-year-old Robert Champion.
Hazing causes death
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI (AP) — Two decades ago, the now-ousted director of the Florida A&M band warned in a letter about the dangers of hazing among the famed "Marching 100" ensemble, saying "it would be very difficult for the university and the band should someone become killed or hurt."
In the following years, however, hazing seemed to become a bigger — if not a more public — problem. Police investigated several serious cases and students were arrested. Anti-hazing workshops were held. Dozens of band members were suspended. University officials and the marching band community were keenly aware of the persistent hazing, yet it continued and is believed to have played a role in the death this month of a 26-year-old drum major, Robert Champion.
Champion's death started a blame game of sorts, with the historically black college in Tallahassee firing its band director, Julian White, accusing him of "misconduct and/or incompetence." In turn, White released more than 150 pages of documents showing that he warned the university for years about what was going on.
The chair of the Board of Governors, which oversees Florida's public universities, wrote a letter to FAMU trustees Tuesday saying it would investigate whether the university administration took appropriate action to address White's concerns.
A former band member told The Associated Press on Tuesday that White looked for ways to eradicate a culture of hazing that existed in many instrument sections of the band. White invited band members to anonymously report hazing and even had police come along on some away games, former drum major Timothy Barber told AP.
In 2001, trumpeter Marcus Parker was paddled so severely
that he ended up hospitalized with kidney damage. White had police escort the trumpet section off the field to be interrogated to show he would not tolerate hazing, Barber said.
About a dozen people pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and received probation in that case, though it's not clear what actions, if any, the university took to punish them.
After the arrests, White approached Barber for help in getting rid of hazing. One area he focused on: A white wall in the band's practice field where nicknames for the instrument sections were prominently displayed. Becoming a member of these groups — the clarinets were known as "The Clones" and the tubas were the "White Whales" — meant becoming part of a tradition and a band that has played Super Bowls, the Grammys and presidential inaugurations.
But some sections had their own violent initiation rituals. White bought buckets of white paint and asked Barber to cover up the section nicknames on the wall.
"Tim, we have to find a way to eradicate these subsections of the band," Barber said White told him. "Cover the names so they see this is not something supported by the band staff."
While White documented his efforts to stop the hazing, it's possible he could've done more on the front lines, according to Richard Sigal, a retired sociology professor at County College of Morris in Randolph, N.J., who has studied hazing.
"Maybe he just had a problem that was beyond his ability to control it," Sigal said. But in general, "If the person at the top issued a zero tolerance policy for hazing and oversaw what the people under him were doing, then there was no hazing."
hazing played a role, but no one has been willing to shed any more light on what actually happened Nov. 19 after the football team lost to its rival, Bethune-Cookman. Police have said only that Champion started vomiting and complained he couldn't breathe before he collapsed on a band bus outside their hotel in Orlando.
The details of Champion's death are unclear. Authorities, the school and an attorney for his family said
The university has announced an independent review and Gov. Rick Scott has asked state investigators to join the sheriff's department in its investigation.
University officials declined interview requests for this story, but president James Ammons, who earned his bachelor's and master's from FAMU, issued a statement late Tuesday.
"Our incidents are few, but nevertheless hazing and harassment continues to be a problem," White wrote the then director of bands William P. Foster in 1989 after a hazing death involving a fraternity at Morehouse University. "It would be very difficult for the university and the band should someone become killed or hurt because of hazing."
"The university has a zero tolerance policy toward hazing. Period. But it is becoming increasingly clear that hazing continues to exist — at FAMU and across the country at other universities, colleges and other elements — because hazing survives and thrives in a culture of secrecy and a conspiracy of silence. I am committed to illuminating this dark corner of Florida A&M University and the American culture ... illuminating it and eradicating it."
White is fighting his dismissal, which is why he submitted the documents to the school, including dozens of suspension letters for hazing over the last decade, and communications alerting university police.
In the weeks before Champion's death, White suspended 26 band members for hazing.

said she'll either study in her apartment or at a coffee shop.
"I get really distracted in the library, especially Anschutz, because I know a lot of people" she said. "I'll take study breaks to walk around, and I'll get distracted by talking to other people, so it's not a solid place for me to study."
A few coffee shops downtown will be open late. Both Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., and The Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., will be open until 2 a.m. Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., is open 24 hours.
However, some shops downtown will close at their normal times, so if students plan on visiting Milton's, Starbucks, Aimee's or Z', they should know that they'll have to leave at 10 p.m. or earlier.

KU Endowment relaunches more informative website
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Students can now visit KU Endowment's website either to give or get money.
The redesigned website, launched Nov. 16, highlights functions of KU Endowment that weren't as well-known before, according to Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president of communications for KU Endowment. Included on the website is information about Endowment's student loan program, which offers up to $2,000 per semester to students. Medical students often
take advantage of the loans, according to Elizalde McCoy, they are open to others as well.
But promoting the student loan program was only one of the changes. Others included promotion of modest donations and simplified website navigation.
On Tuesday, for example, the site announced a $100 gift by "Linda" to the KU Women 4 Women fund. Elizalde-McCoy said the announcement was made to encourage others to donate even small amounts. She said the average online donation was $250 and Endowment is on pace to bring in more than
$1 million online this year.
Part of Endowment's research studied the "abandonment rate" among online visitors, Elizalde-McCoy said. The abandonment rate measures the number of people who find the site too complicated and give up donating online.
In order to make the site more friendly to visitors, Endowment looked at successful online fundraising efforts at other universities, including Oregon State, University of California, Los Angeles and Oklahoma State.

KANSAS TIPOFF
At A Glance
A 3-2 Jayhawk record isn't a very common occurrence for
A 12 Jayhawk record has a very common occurrence for Kansas teams, but neither is playing a pair of top-10 teams before Thanksgiving. The Jayhawks were overpowered by No. 2 Kentucky in the second half of their meeting two weeks ago in Madison Square Garden, eventually losing 75-65. Two wins later and Kansas met up with No. 6 Duke in the championship of the Maui Invitational. The game went back-and-forth the entire game, until a pair of late Duke three-pointers gave the Blue Devils the 68-61 win. Now the Jayhawks get a little breath as three mid-majors visit Allen Fieldhouse before the much anticipated showdown with No. 2 Ohio State on Dec. 10. Kansas should coast to three more wins before that matchup with the Buckeyes next Saturday. Bill Self has lost to three mid-majors at home since coming to Kansas in 2003, but it hasn't happened since Nov. 15, 2006.
Player To Watch
Tyshawn Taylor, guard
Home Sweet Allen Fieldhouse Kansas plays its first game at home in 19 days KANSAS VS. FLORIDA ATLANTIC 7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence
His 11 turnover performance in the Maui Invitational against Duke has been talked about ad nauseam since then. While that many turnovers is too much for a point guard of a potential Big 12 championship team, it's going to happen from time to time this season with Taylor. He is the most experienced ball-handler Bill Self has and it isn't close. He's trusted with the ball late in the games or anytime Kansas needs a quick two points. Against Kentucky when Kansas needed its offense to come alive, Taylor drove to the lane nearly every possession. He ended up with 17 free-throws, connecting on 15. If he can continue to get to the teeth of the defense with consistency, he'll draw secondary defenders and create plenty of opportunities for Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey down law
Question Mark
Will Conner Teahan get back on
track?
The sharp-shooting senior is finally seeing considerable minutes in his fifth season with the team. Up until this year, Teahan averaged just 3.6 minutes per game. Through five games, he's averaging 19.4 minutes. He opened the season with an impressive 11 points on 3-4 shooting from three. But since then, he's regressed every game. He only averaged 14 minutes in the final two games in the Maui Invitational and had just one shot attempt. Teahan looks to be the best three point shooter on the team, but his defense is what will determine if he plays major minutes or not. When he's hot though, like he was in the first half against Towson, he's a huge bonus for a Kansas team that doesn't have many proven three-point shooters.
GAME DAY
Johnson
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
2014
KANSAS STARTERS
Releford
Taylor
After playing sparingly his first two seasons as a Jayhawk, Elijah Johnson's coming out party occurred in the team's 72-56 victory against UCLA in the Maul Invitational. He connected on four three-pointers and had a career-high 23 points. He's averaging 11.6 points and 3.8 assists this season and is one of the most athletic players Bill Self has on the roster.
★★★☆☆
Robinson
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
JONATHAN LARRY
Bill Self summed up Tyshawn Taylor's game best earlier this year. "The dude can get to the paint," said Self. There might not be a better way to describe Taylor's game. He knows it too, as he taken just 10 three-pointers this year, a little more than one per game. When the Kansas offense stalls, Taylor creates his shot or gets to the lane and finds the open man.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, FORWARD
Much like Johnson, Travis Releford is experiencing major minutes for the first time in his career. The junior has been inconsistent so far this season, with disappearing acts against Kentucky and Duke. He played well against Towson and Georgetown, scoring double figures and shooting better than 70 percent each game.
★★★★☆
★★★☆☆
F
Robinson was pegged as a First-Team All-American by CBSSports.com last month and he hasn't disappointed so far. He's recorded a double-double in all five games this season and is averaging an impressive 16 points and 12 rebounds. There won't be many games where Robinson isn't the best player on the court.
THOMAS ROBINSON FORWARD
★★★★
Withey had his best game of the early season against Duke in the Maui Invitational championship game where he played 31 minutes and finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds. It was the first double-double of his career and he added two blocks to his stat sheet as well.
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER
Withey
FLORIDA ATLANTIC STARTERS
★★★☆★
Bertone
PABLO BERTONE, GUARD
Bertone is the only underclassmen guard in the Owls' starting lineup. He's averaging 10 points this season and had a team-high five rebounds in last Saturday's loss to South Florida. He's not known for his passing — 1.6 assists per game — and he's only surpassed the 11-point plateau once this season, but he takes good shots, shooting 51.9 percent from the field through seven games.
★★★☆☆
RAYMOND TAYLOR,GUARD
Taylor, a junior, is the assist man on this Owls squad. He had a season-high nine assists in last week's loss to South Florida and is averaging 5.1 on the season. He was named team-MVP last season as a sophomore and was also selected to the All-Sun Belt First-Team.
Taylor
★★★☆☆
SHAVAR RICHARDSON, GUARD
If Greg Gantt is healthy, he'll start in Richardson's place. Gantt sat out against South Florida after suffering an ailne injury in practice and Richardson started in his place. Richardson is the only senior in the Florida Atlantic rotation and has played under Mike Jarvis three full seasons with the Owls, averaging 8.6 points each.
MISSION CITY JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

★★★☆☆
KELVIN PENN, FORWARD
Penn is a former First-Team All-State selection at Stellacoom High School in Stellacoom, Wash. This is his first season at Florida Atlantic and he has all seven games, averaging 2.1 points and 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. With only seven college games under his belt, his reaction to playing in front of the Allen Fieldhouse is the biggest mystery of any of Mike Jarvis.
to playing in front of the Allen Fieldhouse crowd is the biggest mystery of any of Mike Jarvis' players.
YANG JIE
★★☆☆
Penn
White is the Owls' most legitimate threat down low, averaging 2.1 blocks and 5.9 rebounds through seven games this year. While going against Thomas Robinson will put him at a skill disadvantage, at 6-foot-8, 245 pounds, he's roughly the same size as his Jayhawk counterpart.
KORE WHITE, FORWARD
★★★☆★
White
FLORIDA ATLANTIC TIPOFF
At A Glance
Florida Atlantic is led by long time coach Mike Jarvis, who has 22 years of Division I coaching experience. He's best known for his six-year stint at St. Johns, which lasted until 2003. He's in his fourth season at Florida Atlantic and has had drastic improvements each year, climbing from just six wins in 2008-2009 to a 21-11 finish and NIT berth last season.The Owls are currently 3-4 on the season with two losses coming against BCS conference opponents on the road, Washington and South Florida. The lineup for Jarvis is deep and balanced. He has nine players averaging more than 10 minutes per game as well as four players scoring at least 10 points per game. Three of those players average exactly 10 points, so honing in on one scoreer is likely impossible for opponents.
Player To Watch
Kore White, forward
A 6-foot-8 junior, White has two things Florida Atlantic will need if an upset is in the cards — experience and size. He's had consistent production through seven games this season and is averaging 10.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks a game. Expect White to guard Kansas forward Thomas Robinson for much of the game, and his successes or failures down low will have a major effect on whether the game is close in the second half. His ability to block and alter shots should be able to keep Kansas forwards somewhat honest while he's in the game. The key for White will be his offensive game and whether he is able to get Robinson in early foul trouble. Kansas fans have seen the difference in the Jayhawks when Robinson is on the bench, and White putting him there with early foul trouble would go a long way in a potential upset bid.
Question Mark
Does Florida Atlantic have the firepower to win in Allen Fieldhouse?
- Kory Carpenter
KC
Kansas has lost only twice at home in more than five calendar years. In both losses, the Jayhawks gave up 23 points to an opposing guard. Texas &M's Acie Law IV carved up the Kansas defense in 2007 and J'Covan Brown had his with the Jayhawks last season in leading the Texas Longhorns to victory. Florida Atlantic has balance, no doubt about it. But the past tells us that someone will have to have a career-night to even have a chance at pulling off the upset. Owl guard Omari Grier looks to be the leading candidate for that honor. He's averaging 10.4 points on the season but exploded for 20 points off the bench in last Saturday's loss to South Florida.

Candidate with lowest number wins election
HOLLIDAYSURG, Pa. — it wasn't a golf match, but the man with the lowest number won.
Democrat Joseph Claar and Republican incumbent Edward Helsel were tied with 221 votes apiece after recounts in the Nov. 8 election for Greenfield Township supervisor in central Pennsylvania.
So both candidates met with Blair County elections officials on Monday. Each picked one of several
LONDON — A former reporter at Britain's News of the World made a rare, robust defense of phone hacking Tuesday, telling Britain's media inquiry that eavesdropping on voicemails was a "perfectly acceptable tool" to help journalists uncover stories.
Paul McMullan said hacking was common at the now-defunct tabloid, describing how reporters traded the phone numbers of celebrities and accessed their messages by entering factory-set passcodes.
sealed envelopes containing a sheet with a number on it — with the understanding that the low number would win.
McMullan, who now runs a pub in the English port of Dover, made headlines earlier this year when he was secretly taped by actor Hugh Grant claiming phone hacking was widespread at the News of the World and other U.K. newspapers.

Helsel had been a supervisor almost continuously since 1988. He didn't quibble with the tie-breaker, saying, "It's been done this way for years. If it isn't broken, don't fix it."
The Altoona Mirror reports that Helsel drew a "12" and Claar drew an "8." Afterward, they shook hands.
He repeated that assertion Tuesday, adding that the bosses at the News of the World, including former top editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks, knew of the practice — a claim both former editors have denied.
Both resigned in the scandal — Brooks from a senior role in Rupert Murdoch's media empire, and Coulson from his job as top communications aide to Prime Minister David Cameron.
"I think I swapped Sylvester Stallone's mother for David Beckham," he said, going on to recount how he failed to hack into Beckham's voicemails on one occasion because the soccer star unexpectedly answered the phone.

Cameron set up the media inquiry in response to the scandal that began with the exposure of illegal eavesdropping by the News of the World. Murdoch shut the tabloid in July after evidence emerged that it had accessed the mobile phone voice mails of celebrities, politicians and even crime victims in its search for exclusives.
anyone was committing a crime at the start," McMullan said. "Phone hacking is a perfectly acceptable tool given the sacrifices we make, if all we are trying to do is get to the truth."
The scandal has sparked soul-searching across the media — but not from McMullan, who told the inquiry how he'd hacked phones, staked out homes, posed as a drug dealer, a millionaire and a male prostitute, and pursued celebrities through the streets in the years before the 1997 car-crash death of Princess Diana partially curbed the press pack's ways.

A town official in Groton (GRAH*-tuhn) says a water department employee set up a still and was making moonshine on town property.
Police would not say whether they are investigating.
Haddad did not disclose the former worker's name. He says the distilling equipment has been confiscated by police.
GROTON, Mass. — A more intoxicating drink than water was apparently being produced at a Massachusetts town's water treatment plant.
Town Manager Mark Haddad tells The Sun of Lowell that "distilling apparatus" was discovered earlier this month inside the Baddacook Water Treatment Plant. The employee was placed on paid administrative leave and later decided to retire.
THE NEXT PANEL
Selectman Peter Cunningham says the still was simply someone's "hobby," and there is no evidence the employee was drinking on the job.

Kidnapper sues hostages for violating oral contract
TOPEKA, Kan. — Can there be no trust between a kidnapper and his hostages?
A man who held a Kansas couple hostage in their home while fleeing from authorities is suing them, claiming that they broke an oral contract made when he promised them money in exchange for hiding him from police. The couple has asked a judge to dismiss the suit.
Jesse Dimmick of suburban Denver is serving an 11-year sentence after bursting into Jared and Lindsay Rowley's Topeka-area home in September 2009. He was wanted for questioning in the death of a Colorado man and a chase had begun in Geary County.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Dimmick filed a breach of contract suit in Shawnee County District Court, in response to a suit the Rowleys filed in September seeking $75,000 from him for intruding in their home and causing emotional stress.
Dimmick contends that he told the

couple he was being chased by someone, most likely the police, who wanted to kill him.
"I, the defendant, asked the Rowleys to hide me because I feared for my life. I offered the Rowleys an unspecified amount of money which they agreed upon, therefore forging a legally binding oral contract," Dimmck said in his hand-written court documents. He wants $235,000, in part to pay for the hospital bills that resulted from him being shot by police when they arrested him.
Neighbors have said that the couple fed Dimmick snacks and watched movies with him until he fell asleep and they were
able to escape their home unharmed
Dimmick was convicted in May 2010 of four felonies, including two counts of kidnapping. He was sentenced to 10 years and 11 months on those charges. He was later sent to a jail in Brighton, Colo., where he is being held on eight charges, including murder, in connection with the killing of Michael Curtis in September 2009. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 16. No plea has been entered in the case.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Engelman benched for lack of effort, urgency
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Monica Engelman played in every game during her freshman year and started every game in her sophomore season. The junior guard from San Antonio entered this season as a second-year captain and led the team in 3-point shooting. It appeared that she would continue her streak after starting the first four games, but she was not on the bench with the starters for introductions on Sunday. She stood in line with the other players and took a new spot at the end of the bench for tip off. The streak was over and the crowd was puzzled.
Engelman is the third player this season — after freshman Asia Boyd and sophomore Keena Mays — who coach Bonnie Henrickson has benched because of a lack of effort in practice and a lack of production in games. The statement has been made, and Henrickson waits to see if the players hear her message.
Sophomore guard CeCe Harper stepped in and garnered her first career start, and Engelman was first off the bench at the 14
minute, 19 second mark of the first half in the game against Florida Atlantic. She played 15 minutes and scored eight points late in the second half. She also had three fouls and three turnovers. In the first five games, she has averaged only 6.6 points. Last season, she averaged 12.1 points per game.
"We need who Monica has been for us," Henrickson said. "We need her to play well to help us win. We don't need her to just play and not contribute and not compete on both ends of the floor."
In the game against Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Engelman played 28 minutes and recorded four rebounds, but failed to score and only had one offensive rebound.
"She had no sense of urgency, none, on either end of the floor," Henrickson said. "And worse defensively than offensively. That's why she wasn't on the floor a lot today."
ting beat off the dribble as well; these elements all factored into Henrickson's decision.
Before the game, Engelman was leading the team in turnovers. Henrickson said she was missing back-door cuts and get-
Junior forward Carolyn Davis and junior guard Angel Goodrich also serve as captains for the team. They have led the team in scoring with the help of senior forward Aishah Sutherland.
Davis said she expected Engelman to come back strong, but admitted that she had work to do.
"She understands she has to be a role player for us," Davis said. "She's going to get there. This is the beginning of the season. Everyone is working through a lot of kinks. She knows the player she has to be for us, and she's going to be that."
Engelman hit a team-high of 47 3-pointers last season and ranked 10th in program history with a 39.5 3-point shooting percent. Her 3-point shooting percentage was 43.1 percent during conference play last season. So far this season, Engelman has only made one 3-pointer.

Young basketball players working to secure playing time

After three wins this weekend at the Basketball Travelers Tip-Off Classic in Lawrence, the women's basketball team gained valuable game experience for not only the starting rotation but for the bench, too.
ing three games in three days.
Accumulating playing time for all the players will be valuable for the layhawks as the season moves toward conference play, and teams are sometimes forced to extend their benches when play-
"Your freshman have to play a lot of minutes, and that was good for us to let them be out there and see what they can do for us," junior forward Carolyn Davis said. "I think it shows they'll be a big help for us off the bench."
"I need to work hard and stay focused," Boyd said. "As long as I
One freshman that saw more minutes this weekend was guard Asia Boyd. A highly touted athlete coming out of high school, Boyd hopes to break into the playing rotation for the season.
keep doing those things, I will stay on the floor."
Freshman forward Bunny Williams also got playing time and worked the post for much of the weekend. Williams is still a developing player, but she is another tall body that can help the team.
Williams played 21 minutes on Sunday against Florida Atlantic. She also had a career high of seven points and three rebounds.
In Friday's game against Lamar,
Sophomore guard CeCe Harper also looks to step up her game in the next few weeks.
Harper played 24 minutes with a major emphasis on her defensive play.
"Right now we are looking for somebody to make good defensive decisions to play that third guard," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We need somebody to guard, throw the ball inside and help us on the glass. And she did all three of those things right away."
Harper impressed the coaching staff enough that she earned her first career start in Sunday's game against Florida Atlantic.
She finished the game with five points and two rebounds in 21 minutes for the Jayhawks.
In six games there have been several variations of rotations in and out of the Jayhawks' lineup, so continuing a strong effort on the defensive end of the floor will be the key for all of the players to secure minutes.
Kansas plays Southern Methodist University at 7 p.m. Thursday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Turkey at the plate, stuffing on deck
THE MORNING BREW
Putting together a lineup capable of winning ballgames is like preparing a Thanksgiving feast large enough to satisfy an entire family. This is by no means an easy task, but when done the right way can please players, fans, and the stomachs around the dinner table.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
1. The leadoff spot: The appetizer
The appetizer is the plate that gets it all started, just like the first guy in the batting order. These guys are typically placed in this spot for their speed and ability to get on base. They aren't necessarily going to hit for power, but they are scrappy slap-hitters who will do just about anything to get on base, be aggressive on the base paths, and put themselves in scoring position for the next batter in the lineup to drive them in. You'll want a player with a high on-base percentage.
2. The two-hole: Mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.
Just when you thought that big, juicy bird was on its way out from the kitchen, out comes Aunt Betty with two bowls of mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. While this is not what everyone was waiting for, they can pack a punch to your taste buds, just like the guy in the two-hole has the ability to add extra pop to the batting order. The second player in the lineup is also a contact hitter who, when needed, has the ability to bunt and move the leadoff man into scoring position. A manager will want to select a player that can stay out of the dreaded 4-6-3 double play, a pitcher's best friend.
3, 4, and 5. The big bats: The turkey
Finally, it's time for the main course, the part of the meal that everybody has been salivating over — the golden-brown turkey. A lot of time and effort has gone into preparing for this feast, and the turkey is the
culmination of all that hard work. The 3,4, and 5 hitters are the meat of the lineup, the heart of the order. They are expected to provide the bulk of the power for the team as well as drive in a lot of RBIs. The three-spot in the batting order is usually the best hitter on the team, the guy you can expect to hit for a high average and get on base for the batter following up: cleanup hitter. The cleanup man packs the most power in his bat and is put in that slot to "clean" up the bases and drive in runs. If the four-slot doesn't come through, you can count on the fifth batter to come through for him.
6.7. and 8. Stuffing
KU
By now, your digestive system is hard at work. You begin to feel that if you eat anything else, you might just explode. Food consumption begins to slow down and you can feel your stomach begin to expand. At this point in the lineup, numbers begin to decline. They are still expected to produce at the plate, but these spots are usually reserved for players that are on the team for their defensive ability.
9. The dessert
ner, that is if you have space for it. It's also the only thing between you and the bathroom. In the American League, the ninth batter often serves as a second leadoff hitter to round out the order and get on base for the leadoff hitter. In the National League, the last spot in the order is almost always reserved for the pitcher, who is often the weakest batter in the lineup.
The dessert is the final touch to the din-

COMMENTARY Early lessons in losses
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
Because of its ridiculous, yet reasonably high standard of excellence throughout its history, the Kansas men's basketball team doesn't know what the term "moral victory" means, and if it does, it knows that a moral victory equates to a loss, something that isn't acceptable at Kansas.
The Jayhawks already have two losses this season and are one loss shy of tying their loss total from a season ago, but those two losses aren't all that bad and could actually bode well for the rest of the season.
Kansas' two defeats against Kentucky and Duke were more valuable than any victories that Kansas has had against average or slightly above average teams in years past.
The two losses were a tale of two different stories.
In the matchup against Kentucky, Kansas was tied with a superior Kentucky team at half, but Kentucky made proper second half adjustments and flexed its muscles by the end of the game. That game challenged Kansas. It challenged Kansas to respond to adversity when trailing by double digits against an uber-talented team. The Jayhawks didn't respond well to the challenge, and even though the Kansas failed to overcome its lofty obstacle and keep the game competitive in the second half, it served as a learning and motivational tool for both the players and coaches to answer the challenge better. Because the 2011-12 squad is young, inexperienced and lacks depth, it will find itself in game situations when it is trailing by a sizeable margin against a quality opponent on the road. Be warned, that could especially happen in Columbia, Mo., on Feb. 4 when the Jayhawks face the Missouri Tigers. ESPN College Gameday will host its show in Columbia that day, and the game will air on ESPN that night. To say that the atmosphere will be electric and hostile is a major understatement.
— Edited by Jonathan Shorman
The jayhawks will encounter more late game situations this season and will need to learn how to finish games when ahead. Right now, the jayhawks lack a player with a killer instinct who can take over a game, so they really need to play smart and solid offensively. There will be games when the jayhawks unexpectedly play down to their competition and keep games too close for comfort, but their loss against the Blue Devils will serve as a reminder to them.
ENGELMAN FAILING TO LIVE UP TO EXPECTATIONS PAGE 10
Kansas' dejecting loss against Duke was an eye-opener. For the majority of the contest, Kansas had solid control of the game despite frequent lead changes and had a great opportunity to beat Duke, but didn't handle the late-game pressure well offensively. Much of that had to do with Tyshawn Taylor's erroneous and boneheaded decisions, but the offense was flat and late in the second half. The Jayhawks couldn't get anything going against the tenacious, rugged Blue Devils defense. This game will linger for a while because it was in the Jayhawks' hands, but it was an early season test for them.
A lot of basketball still needs to be played before that game, but the Tigers have looked awfully impressive this season and will be in the Big 12 title hunt throughout the season.

The Jayhawks didn't lose their second game last season until the middle of February. Some fans, foreign to the taste of a loss, may feel a bit uneasy when considering this season's 3-2 record. Coach Bill Self tried to take away worries and explain his team's record in plain terms at Monday's press conference.
"No team in America has played four games in a row like we have," Self said.
After 19 days away from the familiar confines of Allen Fieldhouse, 19 days that featured victories against UCLA and Georgetown and losses to Kentucky and Duke, the team returns to its home court at 7 p.m. tonight to play Florida Atlantic.
The loss to Kentucky in New York was followed by a trip to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, a talent-heavy tournament that featured three games in three days.
"A lot of people got tired quicker and had tired legs," junior center Jeff Withey said.
Back in Lawrence, the Jayhawks reflect on the lessons of the journeys and the November games that mirrored mid-March intensity. The team's using game tape and experience to harness a more balanced attack, something that Self said wasn't accomplished in Maui.
While Self is still unsure of the kind of production his bench can provide, he did learn about his team's ability to play against some of the top teams in the nation.
"We're not tough yet," Self said,
"But were probably a bit more competitive as a group than may be what I have envisioned."
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said that the difficulty of the non-conference schedule prepares the team for the grueling conference slate. By experiencing life against Kentucky's Terrence Jones and Duke's Mason Plumlee, the Jay Hawkins will be experienced by the time they play Texas, Baylor and Missouri.
Taylor and his teammates have already taken the tough touch. Self has already felt the weight of two losses.
"I'd rather get exposed in November than get exposed in January," Self said.
Now they're just happy to be back in Allen Fieldhouse, where it feels like home again.

"I was shooting in the gym the other day," Taylor said. "It felt so good."

While Jayhawk nation waits for Athletic Director Sheshon Zenger to announce the next full-time coach for the Kansas Football team, the difficult task of maintaining stability and moving the program forward falls on the shoulders of interim coach Reggie Mitchell.
Mitchell, 51, was the running backs coach and recruiting coordinator under former coach Turner Gill. This is Mitchell's second stint at Kansas. He previously served as the defensive line coach at Kansas from 1988-1994 and then the running backs coach from 1995-1996 under former Kansas coach Glen Mason.
"You build relationship with kids." Mitchell said. "I think KU is a great brand. I think whoever they bring in to be the head coach will be able to sell it. Will be able to
sell this vision to them. What we're trying to do now, just maintain status quo, keep working. Keep moving forward."
In his first go around with Kansas, the Jayhawks reached the 1992 and 1995 Aloha bowls.
Mitchell left Kansas in 1997 when he followed Mason to Minnesota and served the Golden Gophers in the same capacity.
He stayed in the Big Ten, first going to Michigan State for six
A running back in his playing days at Central Michigan, Mitchell ran for 1.068 yards and was named the team's most valuable player according to the Flint Journal in Michigan.
Mitchell is credited with helping Gill bring in the nation's 34thranked recruiting class according
seasons before he became the assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator, and running backs coach at Illinois.
"I wanted to be close to the running back coach and me and coach Mitchell hit it off from the start, Miller told The Kansan in 2010 "He's just a straight up coach and doesn't sugar coat anything."
