Rental cars for students
There will be four new cars parked on campus this spring, and they will be available to whomever wants to borrow them for a few hours.
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The Hertz car rental company is bringing its On Demand service to campus beginning in the spring semester. The service provides cars to rent by the hour or day to students, faculty and anyone who signs up for a free membership. The idea is to make cars available to students and faculty who, for whatever reason, don't drive to campus but might need a car temporarily, said Margretta de Vries, a spokeswoman for KU Parking and Transit.

"I could think of all kinds of reasons why renting a new car for a few hours or an evening could be attractive," de Vries said. "Even if you owned a car."
HERTZ ON DEMAND
FREE MEMBERSHIP
Gas and insurance
KU Parking and Transit is contracting with Hertz to keep two of the cars in the parking lot across Jayhawk Boulevard from the Kansas Union, and two others from a lot across from the Ekdahl Dining Commons in Lewis Hall. Membership is open to anyone 18 years older, with hourly rates between $8 and $10. For about $62, members can rent a car for the day. After signing up for a membership on the Hertz On Demand website, which will be live and linked on the parking and transit website in January, members will receive an electronic card in the mail that unlocks and activates the cars. They can reserve a car online and be alerted by text when it's ready.
The cars will include two Ford Escapes and two Chevy Cruzes, according to Lomore Hecht, manager of communications and social media for Hertz. Hertz already offers this service on more than 50 university campuses in the U.S. and 30 cities around the world. Hetted said. She said that, as with any car rental, members would need to put a debit or credit card down to pay for the rental. But the rental includes insurance and there is no mechanism for Hertz to charge for gas or minor damages. The cars will be maintained, Hecht said, but they are also likely to change hands several times each day.
"We kind of ask our customers to be conscious of that and not smoke in the vehicles or bring pets in the cars," she said. For updates on when the On Demand membership page goes live, de Vries recommends following KU Parking and Transit on Twitter.

Students' projects recognize World AIDS Day
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
It's hard to know what the men's basketball coaches must have thought if and when they received a photo of art project number 29 at Wednesday's Latexibition.
taeter Nieder, a senior from Lawrence, said she messaged them a photo of the diorama after building it with her teammates as part of their Human Health and Sexuality course's World Aids Day art contest. Allie Townsley, a senior from Wichita, and Bridget Clark, a senior from Garden City, worked with Nieder on the project and said they had received some positive feedback from passersby. Even so, they criticized their own work, which shows condoms decorated by photos of KU basketball players.
"I was going to put Bill Self somewhere," Clark said. "But there wasn't space."
The Latexhibition art contest started at San Francisco State University in 1992 and has been a part of the KU curriculum for years, said Sonya Satinsky, assistant professor of health, sport, and exercise sciences. But it went public for the first time Wednesday in the Awards Foyer of the Robinson Center, Satinsky said, because the students deserved an audience for their work. The idea is to promote a "safer sex" message in honor of the day, which has been on Dec. I every year since 1998, according to the World Aids Day website. Satinsky said she asked students to create art projects out of latex condoms and gloves because these are still the best weapon against HIV infection for those who choose to have sex. But she said people need to be educated in their use.
"It's one thing to use a condom," she said. "It's another to use it correctly."
AIDS is a serious subject, Satinsky said, and students often associate latex projects with "sexually fraught" situations.
"A lot of them will think of it as kind of啼" she said.
So, she encouraged her students to be creative in their projects. One goal of the contest, she said, was to give students a hands-on opportunity to use the latex projects in a comfortable environment.
At the end of 2008, an estimated 1,178,350 people ages 13 and older were living with HIV infection in the United States, according to the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That year, at least 17,374 died.
About 80 students participated in the exhibition, and a group of health educators served as judges, casting votes for the best projects. Three winners will be announced by Friday, Satinsky said, including "most educational," "best use of latex," and "overall winner." The projects will continue to be on display for the remainder of the week.
Townsley and Clark said they weren't sure if they would win the contest, but they were proud of their work.

A basketball-themed project with the message 'Always Protect Your Head in the Game' was made by Taeler Nieder, a senior from Lawrence, Bridget Clark, a senior from Garden City; and Allie Townsley, a senior from Wichita. The projects were for World AIDS Day as part of a health and human sexuality class and be judged by how well groups used condoms and latex gloves. Projects will be displayed in the awards foyer in the Robinson Center until Friday.

Leach taken, Zenger still searching
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Following their 38-21 loss to Washington on Saturday, Bud Witheres of the Seattle Times reported that Washington State head coach Paul Wulff's time leading the Cougars was likely over.
When the report came out, Turner Gill was less than 24 hours away from being fired. Withers reported that a top candidate of Washington State's athletic director Bill Moos to replace Wulff would be former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who was also the first name out of most Kansas fans' mouths as a possible replacement.
Three days later, Wulff was out at Washington State, and it only took one day for a replacement to be named.
On Wednesday afternoon,
Bruce Feldman of CBSSports.com
reported that Mike Leach had verbally accepted the head coaching position at Washington State.
While the timing and scenario appeared to be the right fit to bring in Leach, it is clear that either Leach or Kansas thought otherwise.
On the same day Leach was forced to exit the mind and mouths of most Kansas fans, The Kansas City Star first reported and The Kansan confirmed that Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger left Lawrence Wednesday in his next move with the coaching search. And while the media and fans alike speculated that Leach was Kansas' top target, Zenger has never mentioned Leach and there is no concrete information outside of rumor that Kansas ever contacted Leach.
And Witthers frequently pointed to Washington State's Bill Moos as the most likely reason that Leach
"It's all about
"You have the presence of Moos who's a real dynamic athletic director who was at Oregon during its dramatic rise in facilities," Withers said. "He was a guy that brought Phil Knight into the fold as a big donor. He's an old Washington State football player. He's
ended up in Pullman, Washington, instead of Lawrence.
SHEAHON ZENGER
KU Athletics Director
definitely a football minded guy. Very much an athletic director that any football coach, I think, would like to look for."
In his time at Oregon, the athletics department budget grew from $18.5 million in his first year to more than $40 million by 2007. The donor base increased from 4,930 donors to 12,292, resulting in an annual gifts increase from $4.1 million to $15.3 million. He also oversaw $160 million during facility improvements in his 12 years at Oregon, so it makes sense that he could get the money needed to sign Leach at Washington State.
who has contributed approximately $230 million to the University of Oregon. Moos was the athletics director at Oregon for 12 years, from 1995 to 2007.
Witthers was referring to Phil Knight, the co-founder of Nike
And he did just that, reportedly giving Leach $11 million dollars over five years. Washington State is also undergoing an $80 million renovation to its stadium.
As for Kansas' first year athletics director, Zenger told the Kansas City Star Wednesday that he was considering six to 10 coaches, but associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said that the number could change at any time. Zenger has not put a timetable on the length of the coaching search and told The Star that the search will end when he finds the right guy for Kansas.
Earlier in the week, Zenger told The Kansan he will not be near sighted in the hunt to find the next football coach at Kansas.
"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."

NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
Associated Press
LIMA
A $4.8 billion gold and copper mining project, Peru's biggest such investment, was declared suspended Tuesday after increasingly violent protests by highlands peasants who fear for their water supply.
At least 20 people, including eight with gunshot wounds, were injured Tuesday in clashes between opponents of the Conga project and police who used firearms, Cajamarca state regional health director Reynaldo Nunez told Canal N television. He said one person was in critical condition and the injured included police.
"After discussions with the government, it was agreed that to help restore public order, the project would be suspended," Newmont Mining Corp. spokesman Omar Jabara told The Associated Press via email.
Denver-based Newmont is the majority owner of Conga, which was to begin production in 2015 and is an outgrowth of Yanacocha, Latin America's biggest gold mine.
However, leaders of the open-ended protest against the planned mine that began Thursday in the northern state bordering Ecuador said they would not halt the action until the project is canceled.
Caijamaca's president, Gregorio Santos, told the AP that opponents want "a legal document that definitively eliminates" the project.
At a Lima news conference, Prime Minister Salomon Lerner did not answer a reporter's question of whether the suspension was temporary or definitive.
HENLEY-ON-KLIP,
SOUTH AFRICA
Mpumi Nobiva was raised by her grandmother in a neighborhood beset by poverty and crime after her mother died of AIDS. Now one of the first to graduate from Oprah Winfrey's school, she is headed to college in North Carolina.
Winfrey spent $40 million to give her girls a campus with computer and science labs, a library and a wellness center. None paid tuition. The students are high-achievers, often from communities where schools are struggling to overcome the legacy of aparthaid.
And as the South African school year nears its end, all 72 members of the school's first graduating class have been accepted to universities in South Africa or the United States. More than a dozen have received full scholarships.
Wintref told her students that when you teach a girl, you teach a nation.
"The first class, my class, will prove that," said Nobiva, 18, who will study visual and performing arts at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Winfrey will be at the school for graduation ceremonies in January, school officials said Wednesday as students gathered to reflect on their experiences over the last five years.
The school has drawn sometimes harsh attention because of the celebrity who founded it, and also because of early problems.
Students have been accused of being spoiled. Allegations that a woman employed to care for the girls in their dormitory had instead abused teens were the subject of headlines around the world.
CAIRO
The generals who took power after the February fall of Hosni Mubarak have said they will name the government and the parliament would have no right to dissolve it. They have also sought to wrest from the new parliament the more long-reaching and crucial role of running the process for writing the new constitution.
Partial results Wednesday showed the Muslim Brotherhood emerging as the biggest winner in Egypt's landmark parliamentary elections, and leaders of the once-banned Islamic group demanded to form the next government, setting the stage for a possible confrontation with the ruling military.
But the Brotherhood's confidence was riding high after the unexpectedly large turnout this week for two days of voting. Millions lined up at the polls for the first of multiple rounds of balloting in their country's first free election in living memory.
Even before polls closed on Tuesday, Mohammed Mursi, head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, told reporters outside a polling center in Cairo that the majority in parliament must put together the government.
Another top Brotherhood figure, Sobhi Saleh, told the Associated Press on Wednesday that Mursi's comments were a message to the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces not to act unilaterally.
"You can't come and say, I choose the government and I sack the government." Its over, the people have emerged," he said. "If you impose a government on me that I don't endorse, you are creating tension in the relationship."
LONDON
Paramedics, emergency crews, teachers and even some employees from the prime minister's office took to the streets of Britain for the country's largest strike in decades — drawing attention to government cuts but failing to bring the nation to a standstill.
Public sector employees staged the one-day walkout Wednesday over government demands that they work longer before receiving a pension and pay more in monthly contributions, part of austerity measures to tackle Britain's 967 billion-pound ($1.5 trillion) debt.
The strike came a day after the government announced that public sector pay raises will be limited to 1 percent through 2014 — even as inflation now runs about 5 percent.
"The government wants us to work longer, pay more and at the end get less. How fair is that?" said Eleanor Smith, president of the UNISON trade union which represents about 1 million health, education and law enforcement staff. Smith joined a picket outside Birmingham Women's Hospital in central England, where she works as a nurse.
Prime Minister David Cameron defended the government's stance in Parliament, insisting that "as people live longer it's only right and only fair that you should make greater contributions."
"I don't want to see any strikes, I don't want to see schools closed, I don't want to see problems at our borders, but this government must make responsible decisions," Cameron told the House of Commons.

Beloved Kansas City weatherman remebered
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police say Kansas City television meteorologist Don Harman has died. He was 41.
A police report says Harman, who had been a meteorologist at WDAF since 1999, died Tuesday evening at his home in Kansas City. The report listed the cause of death as suicide and said he was found by his wife.
WDAF president and general manager Cheryl McDonald said in a statement Wednesday that Harman was a beloved meteorologist and personality at the station, and that "words cannot express how deeply he will be missed."

The station's website said Harman also worked at stations in Iowa and West Virginia before joining WDAF.

Safebus changes route after several complaints
PAGE 3
Littering, stepping on flower beds and urinating in public are some of the complaints that are driving a KU SafeBus stop away from the corner of 9th and Maine streets, said Casey Briner, a SafeBus spokesperson. At least three residents living near the stop complained to SafeBus that riders did those things in front of their homes. Briner said the complaints all reached SafeBus after Nov. 18. The free bus service's "red route," which runs from McCollum Hall to 6th and New Hampshire streets, will now stop at 9th and Illinois streets and not at Maine. The route change will begin Thursday night.
Briner said this will be the first time SafeBus has changed routes because of such complaints since the bus service began in 2007. She said SafeBus will make no effort to identify misbehaving riders.
For more information, visit: http:// safebus.ku.edu/ or send email to kuon- wheels@kuu.edu.
Briner said SafeBus will never stop 9th and Maine streets again.
SafeBus operates three routes from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
"Our goal is to get people home safely," she said. "We are not about getting people in trouble."

Derrik Sweeney, 19, of Jefferson City, Mo., smiles along side his mother, Joy Sweeney, left, after arriving at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in St. Louis on Nov. 26. Sweeney and two other American students were arrested in Cairo Nov. 20, and accused of throwing firebombs at security fighting with protesters. A court ordered the three to be released Nov. 24. American universities send more than 250,000 students to study abroad every year, thrusting them into one of the most exciting periods of their lives with a heavy dose of maternal advice: See the local culture, but be careful. Don't get in any tight spots. Avoid political demonstrations. It's advice that can be forgotten in the heady political ferment of countries like Egypt.

Stay safe in foreign protests
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Every year American colleges and universities send more than 270,000 students to study abroad and more of them are choosing unconventional destinations, which in places like Egypt can entice students to ignore well-meaning warnings from back home and plunge into the political upheaval in the streets.
"I think the temptation is there, to wrap up in a keffiyeh and try to look like any other Egyptian revolutionary, to feel a little exhilaration from a kind of danger you don't get in America," said Wittney Dorn, 20, of Appleton, Wis., who is studying at the American University in Cairo.
Universities have been repeating the importance of striking the right balance between safety and cultural immersion after the Nov. 20 arrest of three American students during the protests near Tahir Square, the Cairo roundabout that has been the epicenter of the Jan. 25 uprising against ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
Dorn said in an email from Cairo that she's been following the advice she got from both from American University and her home college, St. Olaf in Northfield, to avoid crowds, political demonstrations and Tahrir Square specifically.

"It's not a brilliant idea to go exploring an area where people are being killed, despite how tempting it may be to watch
A survey earlier this month from the nonprofit Institute of International Education found more than 270,000 U.S. students studied abroad during the 2009-10 school year, up about 4 percent from a year earlier. Most went to western Europe: Britain, Italy, Spain and France. But the survey found increasing numbers in less traditional destinations; Egypt, for example, hosted 1,923 Americans, up 8 percent.
"A lot of students are trying to find places that will help them understand the emerging world," said Peggy Blumenthal, who oversees research at the institute as the senior counselor to the president. They are preparing for careers in public health, the
sciences and national security, for example, she said.
Blumenthal said she doubted students who picked more challenging programs were any more likely to ignore security guidelines than others. "I honestly think that it's not just about going abroad to these places for thrill seeking, as much as it's about really wanting to understand," she said.
Many universities and operators of study abroad programs have been trying to prod students out of what can become a comfort zone of huddling with their fellow American students. That push to engage can be broadening in a "safe" country; in a country with a suddenly dicey political situation, it can be hazardous.

Today's Cryptoquin Clue: Lequals S
Today's Cryptoquip Clue: L equals S
LOS ANGELES — Although it follows one of the roads most taken by family sitcoms — beleaguered single parents, horrible kids — Fox's "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" asks a surprisingly significant question: What happens when people raise their children in a manner that is essentially an attempt to re-parent themselves?
New sitcom tackles parenting rude teens
It's a smart and relevant premise, given that so many parents of teenagers today came of age during a time of social revelation, in which previously taboo issues, including addiction, abuse and sexual diversity, were discussed in a way that one hopes makes life easier for each subsequent generation. How those raised in dysfunctional homes create a healthier model for parenting is a topic rife with both comedy and pathos.
TELEVISION
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
But the social pendulum being what it is, attention has too often swung from truth-telling and self-knowledge to whining and self-centeredness. Throw in a dose of segism and you get the new age of
personal enlightenment as defined by women who eat too much or spend too much and then sob to their BFEs about their lack of self-esteem.
Which is where, alas, much of "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" seems to feel the most comfortable.
With a brilliance that is, given the context, heartbreaking to behold, Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran play Annie and Nikki, two single moms attempting to save their daughters from the horrors of their own high school years. Annie was raised in a household so religiously conservative that she was not allowed to listen to music or watch television, and Nikki was the overweight and unattractive product of too much criticism.
Their daughters, by contrast, are pretty and popular, and because we live in a Tina Fey post-Mean Girls world, exquisitely awful. Sophie (Kristi Lauren) belongs to Annie, MacKenzie (Aisha Dee) to Nikki, and two episodes in, that's really all I can tell you — they are stylish, mean and seem to have no other interest save back-talk and texting.

Oscar race contenders still remain uncertain
LOS ANGELES—As the fall season's first wave of film awards and nominations roll in, the Oscar picture continues to be a murky mass of contenders and question marks.
The accolades established "The Artist," as the closest thing to a front-runner in this chaotic season.
On Tuesday, "The Artist," a black-and-white silent film from the French filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius, picked up momentum with top prizes from the New York Film Critics Circle and five nominations for the Los Angeles-based Spirit Awards, which honor independent movies.

Contract buyout money better spent elsewhere
I love it when my ex tells everyone I'm crazy then expects me to give him his stuff back.
In the last two years, Kansas Athletics has bought out the contracts of three of its highest-paid employees: Mark Mangino in 2009, Lew Perkins in 2010 and Turner Gill this week. Between Mangino's $3 million, Perkins' $2 million, and Gill's $6 million, that's $11 million dollars that has essentially gone to waste from Athletics' budget.
EDITORIAL
Economically, it makes sense for Athletics, as a separate corporation from the University, to spend the necessary money to bring in a new coach and re-energize fans and donors to increase revenue.

scrape together $4.6 million from student tuition and fees to provide merit-based wage increases of less than five percent to some faculty and staff next January.
What have I done this semester? I created a Facebook page for my Occupy Lumbridge movement on Runescape.
Private donations make up about a third of Athletics' budget, according to its 2009 annual report. And according to a KCTV5 report, wealthy donors like Dana Anderson helped Athletics foot the bill for Gill's buyout. Anderson said he donated $750,000 to "help the University move forward from the Turner Gill era."
investments with zero return is an appalling waste of resources, and one that is made possible largely by donors.
A common argument is that Athletics are the "front door" of a university, and that a strong athletics program can help support a strong school overall. But economically, this argument doesn't hold water. A 2004 study done for the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics said that the effects of athletic success on alumni donations and admissions are "small at best when viewed from the perspective of any individual institution."
While Athletics has no obligation to support anything but its own economic interest, the amount of money wasted by the department should cause donors
— as well as students who will be called upon to donate in the future — to reconsider where their money will be best spent.
It's true that donors have the right to do as they please with their money, and that athletics is an attractive destination for such donations. But at a University where no on-campus employee
has received a raise since 2008, supporting $11 million in payments to individuals who are no longer associated with the University reveals a completely skewed system of values.
It's fun to have powerful football and basketball programs, to buy season tickets and to feel a part of something tangible like athletics. But it isn't fun for hardworking professors and staff to work for three years without
hope of a salary increase while coaches walk in and out of town with million-dollar salaries.
I can't wait anymore. Just tell me you love me.
The loudest message that can be sent is sent by dollar signs. If you find yourself sitting down to make a donation to Athletics in the near or distant future, remember the academic departments that couldn't do the things it wanted to for lack of money while $11 million was wasted as a result of the fickle sports environment. Use your resources to vote for a new system of values at the University of Kansas.
This fall, the University had to

Kansas should repeal symbolic sodomy law
GAY RIGHTS
The Kansas Equality Coalition (KEC) is pushing for a formal repeal of the state's criminal sodomy laws, which ban anal or oral sex between persons of the same sex who are sixteen or older, among a couple of other things. The Kansas government should formally repeal this law immediately, not just because the law symbolizes intolerance but also because it's the governor's job to do so.
In Lawrence v. Texas in 2003, the United States Supreme Court ruled that criminal sodomy laws are in conflict with the Due Process Clause under the Fourteenth Amendment. That means the laws in the Kansas books, and in any other state, have been overturned by the highest court and thus shouldn't exist.
SPRING 2014
By James Castle
jeastle@kansan.com
Upon inauguration, the governor takes an oath to support both the Constitution of the United States and the Kansas Constitution. The second clause of Article VI in the United States Constitution mandates that states follow the federal Constitution when a state's laws are in conflict with it. Plain and simple: It's the governor's job to repeal the criminal sodomy laws.
I can't even imagine what people did at red lights before cell phones.
Although in January of this year Brownback instituted an
administrative department for the sole purpose of getting rid of conflicting and ridiculous laws, the department has yet to repeal the laws criminalizing sodomy between persons of the same sex.
The law technically isn't enforceable, but that doesn't mean someone couldn't enforce it. An article in the Huffington Post regarding this issue references an incident in 2009 where a same-sex couple in Texas, another state with criminal sodomy still on the books, was asked to leave a restaurant for expressing appropriate forms of public affection, and the police warned the couple that they could be cited for kissing each other, as per Texas law. Historically, the overwhelmingly religious and conservative state of Kansas has demonstrated a similar attitude towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and it would not
be unreasonable to believe a similar incidence could happen in Kansas.
Furthermore, the fact that the governor of Kansas, who represents the state in the most democratic sense, has not taken action to repeal a law criminalizing sodomy between people of the same-sex leads Kansans to believe that sexual acts between persons of the same-sex is wrong. His actions give those opposed a rationale for their position, which could sustain discrimination and perhaps lead to increased discrimination in all sorts of forms since the issue has become salient.
Brownback and his administration's inability to act on this issue is unacceptable, and he and his colleagues should uphold their oath to support the federal Constitution and should formally get rid of the state's law forbidding same-sex sexual acts. Failure to do so only undermines the governor's integrity as the state's head official and fosters an intolerant and unwelcoming environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Kansans.

Muppets stand tall next to other films
If you know me, you know I love to hate. I'm just crazy about it. I've written multiple columns for this paper where I just rant about how much I hate something that no one else cares about. I even hate on things I enjoy. I mean, I like "Parks & Rec", but that doesn't stop me from rolling my eyes every time it tries to get me to care about all the relationship drama on the show.
However, even my hate-fueled criticism can't touch the Muppets. The Muppets aren't just lovable, they're pure anti-hate. They're so thoroughly not cynical that hating the Muppets is like hating rainbows or fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies or getting to sleep in. People don't just love the Muppets, the Muppets are love incarnate.
The most recent Muppet production, the Jason Segel-penned "The Muppets," was released just before Thanksgiving to a warm reception from critics and a decent box office take (somehow, the new "Twilight" movie made more money than the Muppets." You think you're better than the Muppets, "Twilight?" Because you're not).
In a lot of ways, they're not wrong
The "Muppets" is an uneven movie
Some critics, like the A.V. Club's Keith Phipps, have criticized the film for "getting bogged down in unearned sentiment" and relying too heavily on nostalgia. Others have criticized the film for being too sappy, shoehorning a new Muppet into the mix, and for not staying true to the characters.
If you haven't already seen "The Muppets," I recommend you do so immediately. It's a heartwarming tale about one Muppet's quest for acceptance, and, more importantly, there are explosions and great songs and Sarah Silverman shows up to drop a sick burn on Amy Adams.
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
Last winter, having never seen "The Muppet Show" as a kid, I decided to watch the Muppets' first film, "The Muppet Movie." It's a mess of a film with a threadbare plot that's little more than an excuse for random musical numbers and slapstick. If the movie had featured anyone besides the Muppets, I would hate on it like it's going out of style. But when Kermit busted out his banjo, my heart melted as if it had been blown up by Crazy Harry.
Because I tend to be overly-critical and because the Muppets are so darn nice, I have made a point of never trash-talking the Muppets (this column notwithstanding). As you grow older and more cynical, it becomes increasingly more important to keep the Muppets around so you can still find that rainbow connection.

that's often too clever for its own good. The thing is, the Muppets have never been consistent, even going back to the original show. For every classic sketch, there are a few bombs. For every great guest host, there's a mediocre one. However, the Muppets are so lovable and have such winning personalities that I'm willing to forgive all their flaws and focus solely on their virtues. You can't even blame my bias on nostalgia; I didn't get into the Muppets until about a year ago.

Evangelist Billy Graham hospitalized for testing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — The Rev. Billy Graham was admitted to a hospital Wednesday near
his home in western North Carolina to be tested for pneumonia after suffering from congestion, a cough and a slight fever, his spokesman said.
D. C. LEE
Graham
The 93-year-old evangelist was taken to Mission Hospital in Asheville, spokesman A. Larry Ross said. His personal physician, Dr. Lucian Rice, said he was in stable condition.
A news release issued by the hospital said Graham was alert, smiling and waving to staff as he entered the hospital. Ross said
Graham was admitted for observation and treatment and likely would spend the night there.
Ross said Graham was in good spirits after undergoing a full afternoon of medical tests. His daughter, Gigi, visited him after dinner for prayer and Bible reading. Ross said. As the two watched television in the hospital room, Ross said they found a replay of Graham's 1973 crusade in St. Louis.
For six decades, Graham led a worldwide crusade-based ministry that packed stadiums with believers and allowed him to counsel every U.S. president since Harry Truman. His most recent book, "Nearing Home," was published last month.
In recent years, age-related conditions such as macular degeneration and hearing loss have kept Graham at his home in Montreat, about 20 miles east of
Asheville.
He was last hospitalized in May, when he spent five days at the same hospital for pneumonia. In October 2008, Graham was hospitalized after he tripped and fell over one of his dogs. Earlier that same year, he had elective surgery on a shunt that controls excess fluid on his brain. The shunt was first installed in 2000 and drains fluid through a small tube, relieving excess pressure that can cause symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease.
Graham has also suffered from prostate cancer and was hospitalized in 2007 for nearly two weeks after experiencing intestinal bleeding. His wife, Ruth Bell Graham, died in June 2007.
Graham rarely appears in public now. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is run by Graham's son, Franklin.
OBITUARY

Dr. Julian White, director of bands at Florida A&M University, speaks Nov. 22 during a memorial service for Robert Champion, a Florida A&M University drum major who died Nov. 19, in Tallahassee, Fla. It could take up to three months to learn exactly what caused the death of Robert Champion, a Florida A&M University band member who was suspected of being hazed, an official said Nov. 23.
Georgia death connected with marching band hazing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DECATUR, Ga. — In a poignant call to action, speakers at the funeral for a Florida A&M University drum major urged for an end to the hazing linked to the death of Robert Champion.
Eight former band mates saluted Champion by walking toward his open casket. They raised their batons in unison, then abruptly turned to show their capes embroidered with the letters: C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N. Near the end of the funeral, one of the college junior's favorite songs, "Flight of the Bumblebee," played over the loudspeaker.
Pastor John Tatum told hundreds of friends and family who crowded the church pews that it was time to end the "foolish" hazing in college fraternities and marching bands.
"If there anything about this man's legacy we need to put a stop to, it's hazing," he said to a chorus of amens. "I call upon every parent, every mother, every father ... do what is necessary now to stop this tragedy from ever happening again. Right now."
The 26-year-old Champion was found dead Nov. 19 on a bus parked outside an Orlando, Fla., hotel after the school's football team lost to a rival. Police said Champion, a clarinet player, had been vomiting and complained he couldn't breathe shortly before he collapsed, but they have not released any other details.
Meanwhile, police in Tallahassee, where the school is located, confirmed they were investigating a second case of possible hazing in the marching band involving a
JAMES AMMONS Florida A&M president
freshman clarinet player. The parents of Bria Shante Hunter told Atlanta's WXIA-TV that she suffered a fractured thigh bone and hurt knee.
A police report did not detail how the alleged hazing occurred and Hunter's father told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he could not immediately comment.
Since Champion's death, Julian White, the university's band director, has been fired. The school has announced an independent probe, and the university president said he
"I vow that Robert's death will not be in vain."
White said he saw Champion shortly after he was found unconscious and assured the family that he "looked in peace."
"This is a difficult time for me.
You may see me smile, and you probably won't see me cry," he said.
"I'm happy that I knew Robert."
will work to end the long practice of hazing in the marching band.
James Ammons, the school president, pledged to "stamp out hazing at FAMU"
The group that oversees Florida's public universities announced Tuesday it wanted to investigate whether the school did enough to respond to hazing.
"I vow that Robert's death will not be in vain," he said.
The funeral resonated with the music Champion was so passionate about.
Champion fell in love with music when he was about age 6. He started in bands in middle school and his mother said he was so enthusiastic about performances she called him "Mr. Band."
The family's attorney has said they intend to sue the school over the death.
The Southwest Dekalb High School marching band, where Champion attended, played somber melodies and were joined by an 18-member church choir behind his casket, where he lie wearing his college uniform, clutching a gleaming baton.
At the start of the service, Champion's mother, Pam, squeezed her son's hand a final time. His father, Robert Sr., whispered into his son's ear.
He long dreamed of joining a marching band, and neighbors recalled seeing him patrolling his yard with a makeshift baton made of tape. He rose to become the leader of his high school band by his junior year, and was tapped as the drum major of Florida A&M's prestigious "Marching 100" in late 2010. The band has performed at Super Bowls, the Grammys and presidential inaugurations.
James Seda, who leads the high school band, said Champion was an enthusiastic leader and outgoing musician with an amazing work ethic. He said he was thankful he was in Orlando to see Champion's final show at halftime against Bethune-Cookman.
"His last performance is always his best performance," he said. "He always outdoes himself."

Former Arapahoe County Sheriff Patrick Sullivan, left, appears in Arapahoe County Court yesterday. Sullivan is suspected of offering methamphetamine in exchange for sex from a male acquaintance. Arapahoe County chief judge William Sylvester set the bond for Sullivan. The judge also ordered Sullivan not to try to contact anyone who may be involved in the case.
Ex-sheriff in jail named for him
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The ex-Colorado sheriff was known for his no-nonsense style, his heroism in saving two deputies and for his concern about teenage drug use. He was even named the nation's sheriff of the year.
Patrick Sullivan, 68, found himself on Wednesday in a jail that was named for him, facing charges of offering methamphetamine in exchange for sex from a male acquaintance.
Dressed in an orange jail uniform and walking with a cane, a handcuffed Sullivan watched as a judge raised his bail amount to a half-million dollars and sent him to the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility.
Sullivan's arrest has many in suburban Denver's Arapahoe County where he held sway for nearly two decades wondering what happened to the tough-naills lawman they once knew.
"This isn't the Pat I know," said Peg Ackerman, a lobbyist for the County Sheriffs of Colorado who often worked with him on legislation. She said he was concerned about drug use in schools and was a chief of security at a school district.
Robinson said the case is still under investigation, including where and how Sullivan might have gotten the drugs. He declined to say if authorities suspect Sullivan of using drugs, or if others might be charged.
After investigating further, the
Sullivan came to the attention of law enforcement after an Oct. 4 call to authorities from a home in Centennial, according to an arrest affidavit. The deputy who responded had worked for Sullivan and knew he was.
At the brief court hearing, Judge William Sylvester told Sullivan not to contact anyone involved in the case.
The current sheriff, Grayson Robinson, who worked as undersheriff for Sullivan from 1997 until he took over the job in 2002, said the department was shocked and saddened at his arrest.
deputy learned from two confidential informants that Sullivan was dealing meth but would sell it only if they had sex with him, the document stated. He was arrested after police set up a sting at a home.
Deputies found that Sullivan had handed someone a bag of meth and had another bag on him when he was searched, according to the affidavit. Both bags weighed less than a gram.
Sullivan's attorney, Kevin McGreevy, did not return calls seeking comment.
Sullivan served as sheriff from 1984 until his retirement in 2002.
In 2002, then-U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo praised him on his retirement, citing Sullivan for promoting homeland security and for being named Sheriff of the Year by the National Sheriff's Association.
In 1989, Sullivan was hailed as a hero. During a gunman's rampage, he rescued two deputies after crashing his truck through a fence and protecting them while they were loaded into the vehicle.
While those who know Sullivan were puzzled by the news, some said they weren't surprised that a person of his stature could get involved.

Davis receives national honor

rmccarthy@kansan.com
Although junior forward Carolyn Davis' practice time has been mostly spent on a stationary bike in recent weeks because of her foot injury, it hasn't stopped her from being able to contribute on the floor.
National accolades don't seem to stop coming her way either. Davis was named to the 2011-12 Naismith Women's Early-Season Watch List, one of the more prestigious lists in college basketball. Coach Bonnie Henrickson informed Davis on Wednesday afternoon when the two were discussing which basket was her 1,000 point against Florida.
After working out that problem. Henrickson finally told Davis the good news.
"My teammates understand that I'm there for them," Davis said. "They understand that I'm going to support them and that me not practicing now will help us in the future so there's not hard feelings."
Davis continues to heal from the stress fracture in her foot. She hopes to be back in full practice mode in the next couple of weeks.
For now she just has to pedal on the sidelines and support her teammates in every other way possible.
“It's a lot of mixed emotions because I know there are a lot of great players and their names are out there for everyone to see,” Davis said. “I wouldn't say mine is not out there, but it's kind of more quiet. It's an honor. It’s a complete honor to be in the same presence as those players.”
Following the three wins last weekend, the Jayhawks now turn their attention to Southern Methodist University, a more highly publicized opponent.
Henrickson said that SMU is a team that will mix up their defenses while also challenging the team with different looks for the on-ball screen.
In last year's contest in Dallas.
the game came down to the wire with Kansas pulling out the victory 73-65.
In order to slow down the Mustangs, the Jayhawks will rely on senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who's been vital to the team's success this year.
"I've been really, really pleased with her effort," Henrickson said. "Her effort stats, her effort numbers are really good right now."
Another part of Sutherland's game that separates her from other players her size is the ability to pull up for an outside shot.
Several times throughout the flow of the game Sutherland will trail the play and then have the ball passed to her at the top of the key. From there she squares up and makes the shot most of the time.
Sutherland said she's been able to make that shot for a long time, but she has developed better range and consistency since she's been at Kansas.
Now with six games under their belt, the team members understand they must continue to work hard so they can achieve their ultimate goals.
After the Jayhawks were off Monday, the team has practiced the next two days.
"We just can't get comfortable." Sutherland said. "The next opponent we're going to need to go hard at just like these last six games."

1. Larry Fedora (Last time 3)
With Leach off to Washington State University, Fedora jumps to the top of the list because of the sustained success he's enjoyed at Southern Miss, with a 32-19 record and a bowl game every year in the four seasons. Fedora's name has been linked to the opening at Ole Miss, but he told Jackson Clarion-Ledger Columnist Rick Cleveland that he is focused on winning the C-USA championship game right now.

2. Brent Venables (5)
If this is the season Venables finally decides to move on from the defensive coordinator post at Oklahoma, he won't make a move until after the Bedlam Game against Oklahoma State this weekend. Bedlam will be an excellent chance for Venables to show his talents as he prepares for one of the nation's most explosive offensive attacks.

In his first year as coach of the Northern Illinois Huskies, Doeren led his team to the MAC championship game. Doeren has top flight experience. His Wisconsin defense made it to the 2011 Rose Bowl.

7. Manny Diaz (8)
3. Mark Stoops (6)
Diaz lacks a lot of major conference experience, but his Mississippi State and Texas defenses performed well. And he has connections to Texas and Florida for recruiting purposes. The question is whether Diaz would be willing to take on the task of rebuilding Kansas, or if he'll just wait until a more stable job comes along.
Stoops has the pedigree and success as the defensive coordinator in the ACC and the Pac-12. According to the Palm Beach Post, Stoops turned down an offer for the job at Florida Atlantic University, leaving hope that he could be holding out for a job at a BCS university such as Kansas.

Dykes only has two seasons under his belt at the helm of a college football program, but in just his second season he led Louisiana Tech to a conference championship and a Poinsettia Bowl appearance this season.
NICK SMITH
Fulmer was at Tennessee for 16 years, leading them to the 1998 National Championship. He has the experience, but might be too old at the age of 61 to take on the rebuilding process at Kansas.

5. Kevin Sumlin (4)
Sumlin is more likely just a pipe dream for Kansas fans. With his Houston Cougars undefeated, he can sit pretty and wait for a more attractive job to come calling.

10. Dave Christensen (NR)
Christensen is familiar with the Big 12 after spending 16 years as an assistant coach at Missouri. He was linked as a possible candidate to fill Washington State's void. I wouldn't expect him in Lawrence unless Zenger can't reel in a bigger fish.

Positive attitudes to guide team at Mizzou
The Kansas swimming and dive team travels today to Columbia, Mo. for the Mizzou Invite, which extends through Saturday.
The Jayhawks will compete against Boise State, Drury, Saint Louis, North Dakota, North Texas, UC Davis, and host team Missouri. The Jayhawks met with Mizzou three weeks earlier, falling 185-102. The Kansas队 ride a 4-3 record into the Invite and beat the University of Nebraska-Omaha in its most recent dip in the pool 150-78, a week after losing to the Tigers. Even with that latest victory, momentum isn't necessarily the key to success in
the upcoming meet.
"I think it can help; swimming is a move-on-to-the-next-one type of sport," said Shelby Cox, a sophomore from Little Rock, Ark. "We move on, regardless of the last meet."
Kara Stranski, a sophomore from Portland, Ore., believes the team as a whole can ride the momentum after its last victory.
"I think momentum matters, we're all in a really good mood," Stranski said.
The Jayhaws hope to channel that positivity into this weekend, but even if they don't win the overall event, they still look to improve their own personal statistics. That will, they hope, help the team get better through the winter months, into the Big 12
championships and hopefully the NCAA championships.
"We're looking for good individual efforts, trying to improve our season's times and use that to propel us into winter training," Cox said.
Coach Clark Campbell will be looking forward to seeing what times are posted during the meet.
"We have had a pretty good training phase for the fall and we have rested for a few days, so we are going to let the swimmers put on the technical suits and see what they can do," Campbell said.
The Jayhawks will have a tough test to be at their best in the mid-season Mizzou Invite. They've had a heavy load of weight training and swimming and will have to be mentally tough and fight through
the mid-season injuries and sicknesses of multiple swimmers, to achieve their goal of posting season-best times.
Stranski and Cox both feel they will see some stiff competition, even though they are not familiar with four of the schools: Saint Louis, UC Davis, Boise State and North Texas. Last season, the Jayhawks swept a double-dual between North Dakota and Drury.
"I think it helps swimmers when they don't know who they are racing," Campbell said. "You just need to know what heat and lane you are in and go without worrying about those around you."

GAME TO REMEMBER
Thomas Robinson, junior forward
Robinson wasn't at his finest — he missed nine of his 13 shot attempts. However 19 points, 17 rebounds and, most importantly, 11 of 13 from the free-throw line is nothing to belittle. Last season, Robinson's greatest kyptonite outside of fouling was missed free throws. After another long summer of working at it and gaining confidence, he coolly converted from the charity stripe. Robinson will take plenty more visits to the line this season and Wednesday's performance there indicated that he may not waste them.

GAME TO FORGET
Eliiah Johnson. junior guard
Against UCLA Johnson was his team's best player. His three-point shot was smooth and he made wise, quick decisions with the ball. Against Florida Atlantic on yesterday, something went wrong. Self might not have exaggerated when he said that Johnson was still in Hawaii. Not a single point and seven turnovers just won't cut it against the Big 12. Johnson needs to learn from his mistakes, clear his head and move on. If not, an already shallow backcourt will be in bad shape.

Coach Bill Self said his players might have had too much pineapple juice while in Hawaii for the Maui Invitational. In their first game back from the Islands, the Jayhawks committed 17 turnovers, but Self didn't think the hangover was the cause of the sloppy play.
The first half was relatively clean, as Kansas turned the ball over six times in the opening 20 minutes of play. The second half
"I don't know if I can say that totally," Self said after the sloppy 77-54 victory. "Because we're good at turning it over both inland and in Hawaii, so I don't know if that's true."
was a completely different story, as missed layups and bad passes were more prevalent than the customary highlight-reel dunks fans are accustomed to seeing when a mid-major walks into Allen Fieldhouse. Junior forward Thomas Robinson finished with 19 points and 17 rebounds, but his missed dunks and layups kept him from an easy 30 points on a Florida Atlantic frontline that was overmatched all night.
Junior center Jeff Withey had 10 points and two turnovers in 18 minutes of action and would like to see the slow starts that Kansas has had become a thing of the past.
come over time.
"As soon as the ball is tipped off or in the second half, we come out slow, usually," Withey said. "That's going to be the difference between our team being great and not being great."
Self seemed more upset with his guard play.
Both Withey and Robinson talked about the need to not always bring the ball down for a quick dribble before going up for a layup or dunk. Withey called it a reflex to regain his balance, and it's something the Jayhawk big men are working on cutting down with the help of assistant coach Danny Manning.
"Tonight, their best offense was our offense," he said. "Us dribbling it up and getting ripped and them going to make a layup. Our guards are too good to play like this."
Robinson blamed the turnovers on a lack of focus and reminded everyone that the season is young and a full 40 minutes of focus will
"I made it tough for myself," Robinson said. "I knew they were going to swarm me, and I kept putting the ball on the floor over and over and over."
Even with the abundance of turnovers and sloppy play, Robinson is optimistic that the team's carelessness will be taken care of as it heads forward.
"It's still early in the season," he said. "We've got 30 more games probably, so it's going to be here for a couple of more games. Eventually we will become a good team for 40 straight minutes."

End of lockout means free agent action
MORNING BREW
During Thanksgiving, I had many things to be thankful for: a family
D things to be thankful for; a family, my friends and a well-cooked meal rather than ramen noodles. Those things are special, but during break the shackles on the National Basketball Association lockout were finally broken.
The first round of games will be Christmas day, but the madness starts sooner. On Dec. 9, teams will begin shopping for their most wanted items; the league's best free agents. Here are a few of the best available.
NENE, DENVER NUGGETS
Many teams in the NBA are missing a true center to give them an inside presence, but look no further. Though his name may be short, his play is far from a small player. The Brazilian bruiser is everything a team could want in a center. Hes 6-foot-11, weighs 250 pounds and is very physical.
Nene averaged 14 points per game and eight rebounds per game last year for the Nuggets. Many centers in the NBA can average those numbers, but Nene improved his field goal percentage, finishing the season last year at 61 percent.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
WHERE HE WILL END UP:
Nene dealt with the Carmelo Anthony drama last year and the team surprisingly did better without their former star. The big bruiser is reportedly looking for more than $50 million over four years, a number that will be hard for teams to match. The Nuggets can pay him the most, and they will keep their star center.
With rumors that the Hornets' star point guard Chris Paul being traded, West opted out of the final year of his deal. West tore his left ACL near the end of last season, but a healthy West would be very productive.
DAVID WEST, NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
The 6-foot-9, 240 pound power forward
averaged 19 points a game last year before the injury. West also snatched seven boards and shot 51 percent from the field. West is an effective low-post and pick-and-pop player that will entice teams needing an upgrade at the four spot.
WHERE HE WILL END UP:
Teams might be weary of his injury, but those willing to take the risk might earn a high reward. West is 31 years old, which may be another cause for concern, but with teams like New Jersey and Sacramento needing a boost, one is willing to take the risk. The Nets need an upgrade at power forward and the New Jersey native West will be with the Nets this season.
JASON RICHARDSON ORLANDO MAGIC
There are more players to upgrade frontcours, but Jason Richardson will be a hot item for teams needing an upgrade in the backcourt. Richardson is no longer the 20-points-per-game scorer, but he can still shoot the ball.
The 30-year-old veteran averaged 15 points per game last year, shooting 45 percent from the field. Richardson's best attribute is the three-ball, and he shot a blistering 40 percent from behind the arc last season.
KU
WHERE HE WILL END UP;
Richardson is ringless in 10 seasons. The Magic have Gilbert Arenas, making things more complicated. With that said, Richardson's age is a concern, and I think he will take a pay cut to play for a contending team like the Chicago Bulls.
While fans are shopping for tickets for the Christmas games, many teams will be shopping for players. Let the NBA's version of Black Friday begin on Dec. 9.

Zenger looks for best fit
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
For many KU fans who watched Turner Gill's 19
Hatched Turner Gill's 19 losses in the last two seasons, the decision to relieve him of his coaching duties probably seemed like a no-brainer. But don't let that record fool you. There seems to be an unwritten rule that college football coaches should get no less than three seasons to get their program where they want it with no ties to the previous administration, and for the most part, I agree with that. Firing a coach after just two seasons
— especially with a coach as nice as Gill, who every player seemed to love — could bring some backlash from national media. But for most people who had watched those weekly train wrecks up close and personal, adhering to protocol was not an option with Gill's situation.
Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger took appropriate and swift action, and it was spot-on. Now comes the hard part — finding a coach who will take Kansas football from a national laughingstock to a respectable program.
When the news of Gill's departure became official, many Jayhawk fans wanted former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who has been out of coaching since being fired in 2009 after alleged player mistreatment. According to cbssports.com, Leach has agreed to terms with Washington State to be its next football coach, squashing any hopes of the offensive genius returning to the Big 12. Leach was the one of the more wanted candidates from most fans' perspectives. Not Just at Kansas, but at a lot of schools that are looking for a new coach.
From Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora, to Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, to former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt — the list of candidates doesn't stop at Leach. And it certainly doesn't stop at the three aforementioned coaches.
It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed that on Wednesday he was not in Lawrence, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and his track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates still available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season.
But the good news for Jayhawk fans is that Zenger knows what he's doing. He's a former college football coach himself and has many relationships with coaches across the country. Would he have liked to sign Leach? I'm sure he would have. But there's plenty of good coaches still available for the picking, and Zenger will have plenty of chances to hire a coach good enough to overhaul Kansas football.
Mike Leach was the best coach available this off-season, and for whatever reason it didn't work out. However, the opportunity to hire a coach near Leach's ability without any of his baggage could be considered a victory. But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December.

KANSAS 77. FLORIDA ATLANTIC 54
HAWAIIAN HANGOVER
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman.kansan.com
twitter.com/udk_bball
Call it post-Maui jet lag, laziness or simply overlooking their foe.
For the first four minutes of Wednesday night's tilt with Florida Atlantic University at Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks appeared unready to avenge their loss to Duke.
"It was the Hawaii hangover;" Self said. "Too much pineapple juice."
After a pair of turnovers and a few Florida Atlantic jump shots, the Owls led the game 9-3 and coach Bill Self, face reddened and disusted, called a time out.
From that point on, the Jayhaws found a lead through aggression and a sense of urgency, but despite the lead, Kansas regularly committed fools, turnovers and mental errors. The ugliness wouldn't cease.
Kansas still won the game 77-54, but they never found a true rhythm in their first game back in Allen Fieldhouse following the 19 day separation.
"I don't know if their concentration was where it needed to be because they were pretty much in control." FAU coach Mike Jarvis said. "They might have relaxed a little bit."
Self said at Monday's press conference that he wanted to establish his bench players: a difficult task in games as tight as those in Maui. Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe, sophomore forward Justin Wesley and junior forward Kevin Young, all substitutes, committed seven
fouls in a combined 35 minutes during last night's game, but they weren't the only players at fault.
With 7:10 left in the game, junior guard Elijah Johnson dribbed up the court, stopped just after the half-court line and tossed a pass to a teammate. The ball deflected off a defender's hand and out of bounds. The pass never really had a chance, which Johnson probably knew by the time the ball left his hand. Self, his face red, slapped his hands together and turned away in disbelief. It was a lazy mistake that epitomized Self's frustrations.
"Hes still in Hawaii." Self said of Johnson, who finished the night without a point and three turnovers. "He didn't get hungover. He got left there."
Perhaps baffled at what they were seeing, the usually raucous fans of the Fieldhouse never approached deafening volumes.
"We didn't do anything to juice the building." Self said.
No. 2 Ohio State will visit Lawrence a week from Saturday, but junior forward Thomas Robinson said that the team won't look past this Saturday's game against South Florida, nor Tuesday's game against Long Beach State.
Kansas surrendered a total of 17 turnovers Wednesday, but Robinson repeated that it's still too early in the season to call it an omen.
"That's something that comes over time," junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "Just keeping our focus and not catching ADD."

Student Senate provides funding for Occupy KU group
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Occupy KU secured $200 in funding from the Student Senate Wednesday night after offering assurances that they will not start a riot or large-scale disturbance on campus.
The group is required, according to Senate funding rules, to use the money to buy office supplies or paper and printing.
Brian Sultana, a senior from Manhattan, sponsored the bill as a student senator for the School of Social Welfare. He said the group wants to get students involved in issues including student debt and University contracts with multinational corporations.
"The issues are many," Sultana said. "But the goal right now is to get that information out and get students talking about it."
Sultana has been involved in the Occupy KU group from the beginning, he said. One issue the group
is talking about is the University's exclusive contract with Coca-Cola. Sultana said Occupy KU members are discussing accusations of environmental abuses, union busing and even murder at the cola company's overseas bottling plants. That same issue has been raised by the New York Times, Businessweek and the PBS program Frontline since 2005.
Occupy KU meets each Tuesday at noon and 4 p.m. and each Friday at 4 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Kansas
Union. The group is making plans to start tabling in the first week of the spring semester as part of an effort to attract more students. Sultana said the group now counts around 15 regular members. The group's Facebook profile has 60 members.
Hannah Bolton, senate chief of staff, said some senators did have concerns about approving funding for Occupy KU.
"We were kind of questioning their validity as a group," Bolton said.
But the group met Student Senate requirements of being open to all students, which entitled it to $200 for office supplies and a banner just like any registered student group. Bolton said senate is not able to discriminate against any group that applies for funding and meets those requirements.
"They assured the senators that they are not planning any takeover on campus," Bolton said.

Not much beats knowing you're making a lasting impact on another person's life.
When I was 19, I thought it sounded like fun to work as a camp counselor. Getting paid to play tennis, hang out at the pool, water ski and camp? Sign me up.
That fun came with the company of 36 12-year-old girls — granted, I only ever had 12 at one time. I quickly became more than just an authority to make sure no one fell into the campfire, that no one snuck candy into the cabin and see to it that no girl's shower exceeded two minutes.
These girls looked up to me, confided in me and even after camp, kept in touch with me.
As the youngest sibling in my family, I never knew what it felt like to take on a mentor role. Spending a summer with those girls gave me a
renewed self-worth, fresh perspective and — I'd like to think made me a better listener.
Whether it's volunteering in a third world country, spending a summer working at a children's camp, helping out at a homeless shelter or getting involed with something like Big Brothers Big Sisters, mentoring and volunteering offer far more than meets the altruistic eye. It's something to truly find purpose in.
Check out Taylor's story on page six to see more about what it's like to be part of Lawrence's Big Brothers Big Sisters.
As much as those 36 girls might have learned from me, I'm positive I gained more from hanging out with those 12-year-olds — I mean, one of them even taught me how to sail.

KANSAS IN HEAT // HOW MANY IS TOO MANY?
> Tackling the sticky world of relationships.
QUESTION:
Recently, I was talking to my 21-year-old boyfriend about how many sexual partners was considered "too many." I told him how there was a 21-year-old guy friend who says he's had more than 20 partners, but they had each meant something to him so he didn't see a problem with it. He goes on to say multiple partners are only a problem when you have meaningless sex. What do most people consider to be too many partners and at what age?
MICHELLE ANSWERS:
Having sexual experiences (which could be with one or more partners) is necessary for the development and understanding of sexual satisfaction.
Sex is so much more than penile-vaginal intercourse, anal sex, oral sex, etc. Sex includes seduction, selflessness, passion, trust and intimacy. Fully developing the aforementioned cannot occur during a one-night stand, or within a few weeks of dating.
Let's consider your 21-year-old friend's theory. If each of his 20 partners "meant something," and that something is a product of the trust and intimacy I mentioned earlier, then your friend has been busy dedicating much of his few years as a sexual explorer to courtship and relationship development.
I'm pretty sure he's had a few short-lived sexual encounters, perhaps as short as one night. This leads me to believe he is trying to save face and justify his increasing number of sex partners, fibbing about his sexual experiences or attempting to conform to the idea that sex and emotion must occur together.
Now, on to you. If you are using the "meant something" theory, then the sex you desire is within a long-term relationship. If the only sex you will ever want to have is with a long-term dating partner, great! If not, that's OK too.
Don't let fear of ridicule or judgement prevent you from satisfying your sexual exploration and development as a sexual being. With that being said, I want you to pay attention to this next statement: You must be responsible with your sexuality. This means not only your physical health, but the sexual safety and protection of you and your partner's emotional well-being as well.
Having an intimate connection with someone feels amazing. However, you'll never get there if you're too worried about what others will think.
Don't concern yourself with how many sexual partners may be too little or too many. Take your sexual development by the horns, find the path you want to take, and make it your own.

Hobbies: I like being outside and hiking, relaxing at Clinton Lake or going on adventures. Serving on the executive board for KU Dance Marathon is also very important to me.
Turn-ons: I like when a guy is outdoory and appreciates nature. He also has to be passionate about what he wants to do with his life, have
an open-minded personality and like to do charity work. Tattoos that have meaning are also a turn-on.
Turn-offs: I don't like cockiness or guys who are lazy and don't like to take care of themselves.

Favorite day of the week: I like Thursday best because you can look forward to the weekend. You're almost finished with classes, so you're focused on what you need to get done.

Her ideal date: I would like a date that starts with dinner at an exotic food restaurant, like Indian or Thai. Then doing something outside, like going to a lake and having a bonfire.

HOW WE MET// MEGAN ADAMS & AARON WHITESELL
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Love and basketball are two words that describe how Megan Adams, a senior, and alumnus Aaron Whiteside's relationship started.
In January 2004, Aaron and Megan, both from Spring Hill, started texting. Aaron had heard about Megan, and decided to ask their high school basketball manager, whom he knew was friends with Megan, for her number. "When he texted me and said, 'Hey,' I was like, 'Oh my God why is he texting me right now? Did he even mean to?'" Megan says.
A week later, they went with some friends to see the basketball movie "Coach Carter" in theatres. Megan admits she didn't pay attention to the movie because she was so nervous being around Aaron. They made their relationship official, and when it was time for college, they headed to the University of Kansas.
In April 2011, Aaron decided to take their relationship to the next level. He rented out the top of The Oread and had Megan meet him there for dinner and so he could propose. When Megan arrived and called Aaron, he told her the hostess would take her to him. "She got impatient that there was a line to get to the hostess and hung up on me," Aaron says.
Once she reached the top floor, Megan had
an idea something was going on. "He would fake propose all the time, but I knew it was real once he started to tear up." Megan says.
The couple plans to move to Germany or Dallas for Aaron's job once Megan graduates.

HEALTH
BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS //
> If you're going to do it, be smart. WINE
Wine has caught a bad rap for being a bit expensive and causing stains, but once you realize the health factors and acquire your taste buds, it may completely void those two negatives out. While more research is done on wine, many are beginning to realize how necessary one glass a day can be for you.
Red wine is the healthier of the two options because it contains resveratrol, according to Beekman Wines & Liquors, a winery in New Jersey that is willing to educate people over the health benefits of wine. Other benefits of wine include slowing of the aging process and Alzheimer's disease and reducing the risk of pancreatic and colorectal cancers.
Some students have decided that if they are going to drink, they might as well do it for the quality and effect, even if that means splurging on a $5 glass. "I think it's more of a taste thing than anything else," says Vicky Stadler, a junior from Overland Park. "I also feel like a 'wine drunk' is milder."

In Europe, thread count doesn't exist. Instead of looking at the quality of the fabric, we are drawn to the number on the package that indicates the more threads, the merrier. Thread count is the number of threads (referred to as warp and weft) in one square inch of fabric, according to Heather Young, a buyer for New York City's online retail store, Linenplace.com.
"Egyptian cotton with 1,000 thread count" sounds more like a math problem than a guide to buying sheets. This advertising leads people to believe that the higher the thread count, the softer and more luxurious the sheets.
Although we splurge the extra cash for cozier sheets, we may be wasting our money instead.
"The biggest misconception with thread count is that the higher the thread count the better the sheet. This is simply not true," Young says. As the thread counts go higher, the sheets will feel thicker, but Young says that "thick" sheets are actually not desirable.
That hasn't stopped Eileen Oberley, an alumna from Salina, from buying sheets with a high thread count. "I pay more for higher thread count sheets because low threat count sheets won't soften up, despite several washings," she says.
Young offers advice to those still spending their money on high thread count sheets. "I suggest 100% cotton in a sateen weave. Sateen weaves create a smooth top side since the weave consists of multiple threads up to one under," she says. Fiber content, construction of weave (such as sateen) and finishing are other ways to determine the quality of a sheet.
Verdict: Wasted money. Bad for you.

BRE ROACH
state defensive coordinator Mark Coopers, to former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt — the list of candidates doesn't stop at Leach. And certainly doesn't stop at the three rementioned coaches.
It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed at on Wednesday he was not in attendance, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and its track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates ill available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season.
Mike Leach was the best coach available this off-season, and for whatever reason it didn't work out. However, the opportunity to hire a coach near Leach's ability without any of his baggage could be considered a victory. But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December.

Birth Control Pills: A risk worth taking?
CHRISTY NUTT
Victoria Renn was only
Victoria Renn was only 10-years-old when her family told her she would never be able to take birth control pills. The decision had nothing to do directly with Renn, a senior from Lathrop, Cal., but was made because of a serious complication that happened to her sister. At the time, Renn's sister was 26 and living in San Francisco. After a fun night at a Giants game, Renn's sister woke up and knew something was horribly wrong because her face was numb and droopy and she couldn't feel her left hand. A friend drove her to the hospital, where a variety of tests were done. The results were shocking. Renn's sister had suffered from a stroke in her sleep. And the stroke was caused by a blood clot attributed to her birth control pills.
In late October, federal health officials reacted to results from recent studies by publicly acknowledging that the risk of blood clots appear to be more prevalent with use of newer birth control pills than older medications. The FDA will review the risks and benefits of new birth control pills on Dec. 8. Although the risk is serious, it's relatively rare for women that have no medical history or family history of blood clots.
Although Renn says it's hard to tell her sister is a stroke victim 11 years later, there are long term effects. "Some things are still hard for her to do, like carrying bags with her left hand," Renn says. "If she is tired or stressed, her hand gets weaker and her face droops." Renn's sister takes aspirin daily to thin her blood, and before taking new medications, she must carefully look at the side effects.
Most birth control pills use two hormones, estrogen and progestin, to prevent pregnancy. Newer birth control pills, such as Bayer's Yaz and Yasmine, use the synthetic progestin hormone drospirone instead of the older progestin levonorgestrel.
A study funded by the FDA and released in late October reviewed 800,000 women's medical history who took different birth controls between 2001 and 2007. The preliminary results showed that women taking birth controls that use dipirenone had a 75 percent greater chance of developing a blood clot than woman using older, levonorgestrel birth control pills.
JP
Birth control pills are one of the most frequently studied drugs, says Sue McDaneld, advanced registered nurse practitioner at the Lawrence Health Department. McDaneld is in charge of family planning and STD services. She says despite the recent studies, birth control pills are safe for healthy woman with no concerning medical history. In fact, there are greater health risks involved in being pregnant than using birth control pills. "Women who are pregnant are 10 times more likely to have a blood clot than woman on birth control," McDaneld says.
Because all medications have side effects, it's important to look at your medical history in regard to specific medicines, McDaneld says. "When in doubt, set up an appointment with your health care provider to discuss all of your options and really ask the questions you have about the risks," McDaneld says.
When taking an oral contraceptive there is also the risk of suffering from gallbladder disease or experiencing liver problems, McDaneld says. But these risks are rare. More commonly, people experience what she described as inconvenient side effect. "More often people notice things like weight gain or moodiness after starting a birth control," McDaneld says. These inconvenient side effects may be reason enough to stop taking birth control pills.
The FDA posted a disclaimer on its web site for woman currently taking birth control pills that contain drospirenone to talk to their healthcare provider before discontinuing use.
Why the pill?
Oral contraceptives or birth control pills are the most common form of contraceptive used by college students, says Sue McDaneld, advanced registered nurse practitioner at the Lawrence Health Department. She says the pill is popular because its easy to access and people are familiar with it. Birth control pills can also have some non-contraceptive benefits, such as manipulating a woman's menstrual cycle to be lighter or more regular, help relieve symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder and treat moderate acne.
However, these benefits often come with a cost. When a medication alters a woman's natural hormones, it also alters her sexual experience, says Ginny Ramseyer Winter, an alumna social who worked as an educator at Planned Parenthood in Knoxville, Tenn., for more than four years. This can sometimes make a woman lose her libido.
It's important for woman to know their bodies so they can detect changes caused by medications. Ramseyer Winter says. Women must also know what they want out of a birth control and what side effects they're willing to put up with. "Research shows that women who choose an [birth control] option that fit their own personal needs experience contraceptive failure less." Ramseyer Winter says.
HANGO
Risky Business: Medical studies link negative side effects, like blood clots, to birth control pills.

CAMPUS
Student Senate provides funding for Occupy KU group
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Occupy KU secured $200 in funding from the Student Senate Wednesday night after offering assurances that they will not start a riot or large-scale disturbance on campus.
The group is required, according to Senate funding rules, to use the money to buy office supplies or paper and printing.
Brian Sultana, a senior from Manhattan, sponsored the bill as a student senator for the School of Social Welfare. He said the group wants to get students involved in issues including student debt and University contracts with multinational corporations.
"The issues are many," Sultana said. "But the goal right now is to get that information out and get students talking about it."
Sultana has been involved in the Occupy KU group from the beginning, he said. One issue the group
is talking about is the University's exclusive contract with Coca-Cola. Sultana said Occupy KU members are discussing accusations of environmental abuses, union busting and even murder at the cola company's oversea bottling plants. That same issue has been raised by the New York Times, Businessweek and the PBS program Frontline since 2005.
Occupy KU meets each Tuesday at noon and 4 p.m. and each Friday at 4 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Kansas
Union. The group is making plans to start tabling in the first week of the spring semester as part of an effort to attract more students. Sultana said the group now counts around 15 regular members. The group's Facebook profile has 60 members.
Hannah Bolton, senate chief of staff, said some senators did have concerns about approving funding for Occupy KU.
"We were kind of questioning their validity as a group." Bolton said.
But the group met Student Senate requirements of being open to all students, which entitled it to $200 for office supplies and a banner just like any registered student group. Bolton said senate is not able to discriminate against any group that applies for funding and meets those requirements.
"They assured the senators that they are not planning any takeover on campus," Bolton said.

Students' challenges & priceless rewards of volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters [TAYLOR LEWIS]
Photos by Jessica Janasz
Bigs in Schools: Sarah Hutton, a junior from Colorado Springs and Bigs on Campus activities chair, visits her Little Sister at school.
I examined my chipped fingernail polish as I sat nervously in the offices of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County, a match-based mentoring program. I was there for my first round of interviews to become a Big Sister, and was criticizing everything about myself. Would the caseworker care that I had a hot pink strand in my hair? When she examined my driving record and saw my fender bender, would she deem me unsafe to transport a child? I wanted to become a Big Sister so badly that I was convinced that she would find something wrong with my application or with me.
An hour later, my anxiety was put to rest.
The caseworker had complimented me on my hair and told me that my minor car accident could happen to anyone. She assured me that I would be fine through the rest of the interview process, and, sure enough, she was right. A few weeks later, I got a call, saying I had been approved.
Approximately 150 University of Kansas students have received the same call, giving them the news that after six weeks of interviews and background checks, they had been accepted as a Big Brother or Big Sister. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a nationwide organization that matches adult mentor volunteers (Bigs) with
children (Littles) who are between the ages of 5 and 17 from a single-parent household.
Currently, the Douglas County office has 350 to 400 active matches and 95 children on a waiting list. It's not uncommon for the children in the program to live below the poverty line, have an incarcerated parent or have experienced some form of abuse. "A lot of the kids may not have an adult in their lives who's a positive influence," says Cath Brashler, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County. "That's where a Big can really fill in."
Bigs have two options when applying for the program: Bigs in Schools or the community-based program. With Bigs in Schools, volunteers meet their Littles at their school for 30 minutes to an hour per week to have lunch, play outside, the library or simply hang out. Bigs must receive permission from the organization's local office to take their Littles off school grounds. The community-based program asks that Bigs devote two to three hours each week to their Littles. Matches aren't confined to school grounds; they're able to take their Littles out for a variety of activities.
Every week that I hang out with my 11-year-old Little, Sina, for three hours, I can let go of my college-student stress. When we go to the

park, I ignore the fact that I'm 20 and instead focus on how high I can swing. During our girls' nights when we make s'mores and watch chick flicks, I'm unconcerned with the number of calories I'm consuming and am instead engrossed in Sina's latest sixth-grade gossip.
As any Big can tell you, volunteering with the organization comes with its ups and downs. The time commitment can be a problem for some volunteers, but giving to the Lawrence community in a way that transports you back to childhood is a definite plus. Brashler describes volunteering with the organization as a "feel-good" activity. She's seen matches grow and Littles open up to their Bigs about their lives. "You do get the impression that you begin to matter to this person," she says. "They look forward to seeing you, they look up to you and they begin talking to you about things that they wouldn't talk to their parents about."
A strong match can benefit the child. Every year, the organization surveys the children and their parents to better understanding how the match has affected the child, Brashler says, and 50 to 75 percent of the time, Littles have grown from the experience. Their personalities have developed, their communication skills have improved and they have better self-confidence. For the children with Bigs in Schools, their teachers are surveyed, and they say they have often seen an improvement in the child's grades as well as attitudes, and overall, the kids relate better to their teachers and peers.
Emily Lubarsky, a junior from Shawnee, has been a Big with Bigs in Schools for a year and a half. Each week, she meets her Little, Haylee, at school where the two play kickball, make crafts or their personal favorite, paint pictures. When Haylee switched elementary schools last year, Lubarsky moved with her, easing the transition to a new school and proving that she would be a constant figure. For that reason, she is now comfortable enough to ask for advice when it comes to school or friendship problems. "Some of these kids have so much craziness in their lives," Lubarsky says. "This is just a way to give them one steady thing that's going to happen every day."
Similarly, Kelsey Nelson, a junior from Springfield, III., has seen her community-based match progress. When the two were matched one year ago, her 6-year-old Little, Aliyah, was so shy that she wouldn't even look Nelson in the eye. Figuring out activities was a guessing game for Nelson, who at times questioned whether or not Aliyah was having fun. "Now, if we're in the middle of doing an activity and
she's not having fun, she's like 'I'm bored; I want to go," Nelson says. "She feels totally comfortable."
Comfort in a match is ideal, but there are times when that comfort poses an obstacle for the Big. Hilary Collert is a junior from Oklahoma City who has been matched with 14-year-old Senia for almost a year and a half. When applying for the community-based program, Collert requested an older Little because she wanted someone old enough to come to her for advice. But when Senia asked her about dating, Collert found herself searching for the right words. "I didn't really know how to respond to that because my parents were strict about me dating." Collert says. "A lot of the kids I grew up with were dating at 13 or 14, but I wasn't allowed to talk to boys until I was 16. I just tried to tell her my experience and let her decide from there what she wanted."
The time commitment can be another challenge. Brasher says that volunteers will often be eager to apply for the community-based program, but after a couple of months, they realize that it is a bigger time commitment than they anticipated. For this reason, college volunteers are encouraged to start off with Bigs in Schools. There is a set schedule and it requires a maximum of one hour per week.
Luke Noll, a senior from Nortonville, says the time commitment of the community-based program is worth it. His little brother, Don'na, is a 6-year-old with excellent manners, an inquisitive mind and a passion for learning. The two like to hang out at parks, have been fishing and swimming, and have even made a trip to the Topeka Zoo. "Sometimes, it's hard for me to get up and go across town and say, 'I'm going to hang out with a 6-year-old,' he says. "But the second he gets in the truck, I get excited. You think you don't have time for this, but when those two hours are over, you're glad you did this."
Surprisingly, Brashler says that the agency sees few behavioral problems within matches, despite the wide range of ages of Little. Typically, she says, the kids are so excited to have someone to spend time with that they don't want to do anything to disappoint or disobey their Bigs.
But volunteers should remember that the kids are still kids. Ethan Hrabe, a junior from Olathe, has been matched with his 6-year-old little, Antonio, for five months. Although he's not a difficult child, Antonio will at times become upset about his 6-year-old problems. Rather than disciplining him, though, Hrabe will let him have his moment. "You have to remember that
he's still a little boy," Hrabe says. "You just have to roll with it and as an adult, understand that they're going to deal with it how they're going to deal with it."
Although the majority of the children don't have behavioral problems, during the lengthy interview process, volunteers specify what conditions they feel comfortable working with. After attending an orientation session, volunteers fill out an application where they share their own interests and state who they're comfortable with, whether that be a handicapped child, an abused child, a child with learning disabilities, etc.
After that, volunteers are brought in for an interview to give the caseworkers a better sense of who they are. Four references are required for the community-based program and three for Bigs in Schools. Five different background checks are performed and your driving record is examined. For community-based Bigs, a caseworker then comes to your home to make sure it's a safe environment and administers a second interview. This interview consists of a series of hypothetical questions to see how you would react if placed in a problematic situation with your Little.
After the interviews and background checks, your file is given to a team of volunteers with experience in mental health, child services and law enforcement for one final examination. Once approved, the agency finds files of compatible Littles for you to pore through and determine your best match.
After I was approved, I went in to see that my caseworker had extracted three files of potential Little Sisters for me to look through. The first two girls seemed great, but it was the last profile that caught my eye. Her name was Sina. She was 10-years-old and had been Big Sisterless for a while. She was quiet but funny, and we had a lot of the same interests.
Perhaps reading too far into the signs, I excitedly noted that our dads shared the same name and that one of my elementary school best friends was named Sina. Without any hesitation, I told my caseworker that I would love to have Sina has a Little. Sixteen months and an inseparable bond later, I know that I made the right choice.

Bigs on Campus
This school year marked the birth of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Student Club. The club gives Big Brothers Big Sisters' 150 student volunteers a place to meet, share their experiences and brainstorm group activities for the 'club members' Little Brothers and Sisters.
"There's not really that much of an involvement between the Bigs, and we just wanted a way to interact with each other," says two-year Big Sister Sarah Hutton, a junior from Colorado Springs and the club's activities chair.
So far, the club, which meets once a month, has organized a campus scavenger hunt and a trip to a pumpkin patch for members. Littles. The group plans to attend Lawrence's Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade on Saturday.

Student Senate provides funding for Occupy KU group
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
Occupy KU secured $200 in funding from the Student Senate Wednesday night after offering assurances that they will not start a riot or large-scale disturbance on campus.
The group is required, according to Senate funding rules, to use the money to buy office supplies or paper and printing.
Brian Sultana, a senior from Manhattan, sponsored the bill as a student senator for the School of Social Welfare. He said the group wants to get students involved in issues including student debt and University contracts with multinational corporations.
"The issues are many," Sultana said. "But the goal right now is to get that information out and get students talking about it."
Sultana has been involved in the Occupy KU group from the beginning, he said. One issue the group
is talking about is the University's exclusive contract with Ceca-Cola. Sultana said Occupy KU members are discussing accusations of environmental abuses, union busting and even murder at the cola company's overseas bottling plants. That same issue has been raised by the New York Times, Businessweek and the PBS program Frontline since 2005.
Occupy KU meets each Tuesday at noon and 4 p.m. and each Friday at 4 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Kansas
Union. The group is making plans to start tabling in the first week of the spring semester as part of an effort to attract more students. Sultana said the group now counts around 15 regular members. The group's Facebook profile has 60 members.
Hannah Bolton, senate chief of staff, said some senators did have concerns about approving funding for Occupy KU.
"We were kind of questioning their validity as a group." Bolton said.
Index
But the group met Student Senate requirements of being open to all students, which entitled it to $200 for office supplies and a banner just like any registered student group. Bolton said senate is not able to discriminate against any group that applies for funding and meets those requirements.

MANUAL
ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // SEWING ON A BUTTON > In case of emergency, read quickly.
Stuck with a jacket that won't close or pants held together with a safety pin? Sewing on a button is one of the most basic sewing skills you can do in a few quick steps. Ashley Darnell, a junior from Haviland, enjoys sewing and always repairs her own buttons. "You want to match the replacement button and thread to the original button, otherwise it will look silly."
Follow these steps to secure a button that has come off:
1) Thread needle with a matching color thread and knot the two ends together, doubling the string.
2) Check the other buttons to see how they are threaded. Most follow a crisscross pattern or two straight lines. "I like to use a crisscross if it is just for me, because it holds stronger," Darnell says.
3) Starting from the back of the fabric feed the needle up and down through the holes in the button following the pattern the other buttons use.
4) Repeat at least three times to make sure the button is secure.

on a garment a broken button or sewing
one back onto a garment is easy to do yourself.
5) To tie off the thread, feed needle down
through the button to the back of the fabric and tie a double knot.
Heavier fabrics, like those used in coats, need a little extra attention to keep their buttons secure. "With coats, you want to leave a little space between the fabric and the button so it has a little give while you move," says Kim of Kim's Alterations, located at 2201 W. 25th St. in Lawrence. "Sometimes with leather you can put another button on the back of the fabric as well to make it sturdier," says Kim.

> Absence makes the heart grow...
DOING WITHOUT // EATING MEAT > Absence makes the heart grow. ?
I've thought about becoming vegetarian, but never actually gone through with it. So I did some research on the different types of vegetarianism and decided vegan was too strict for me, but lactovegetarian, which still includes dairy, would be a good fit.
I was really unsure whether or not I would like this experiment. My shopping cart contained foods I wouldn't normally buy: tofu, soy cheese, and Morningstar veggie burgers. One of my main concerns, besides the worrisome texture of tofu, was making sure I was getting enough protein. But soy products, as well as nuts, seeds and grains like quinoa are full of protein and are good for you. "The vegetarian lifestyle is much lower in saturated fat because the food isn't as processed, and the fats come from plants, so they're healthier," says Kylene Etzel, a dietitian for Hy-Vee stores in Lawrence.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the Morningstar burgs. They didn't taste like fake meat, and are a quick and easy lunch. I also made tofu stir-fry with carrots, snap-peas, water chestnuts, broccoli and red bell peppers. The tofu was what I was most reluctant to try, but I was also surprised at how
much I liked it. Tofu pretty much tastes like whatever you put it in, and has a texture more like an avocado than the mush I was expecting.
With any major change in diet, baby steps are a good way to ease into it. I may not become fully vegan but this week I felt a lot healthier. This change may just become permanent.

Stoops, to former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt — the list of candidates doesn't stop at Leach. And it certainly doesn't stop at the three aforementioned coaches.
It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed that on Wednesday he was not in Lawrence, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and his track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates still available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season.
Mike Leach was the best coach available this off-season, and for whatever reason it didn't work out. However, the opportunity to hire a coach near Leach's ability without any of his baggage could be considered a victory. But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December.

Sumlin also said no other school has contacted him. The Chicago Tribune reported that Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz is interested in the job.

Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora has been heavily linked to the job, as well as Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, but the sporting news reported Smart has not interviewed with Ole Miss yet.

Contributed photo Musical Maturity: Honoo Cowboy's five members' individual musical backgrounds diversify the group, enriching its sound.
Honest Cowboy, a five-piece band from Kansas City, Mo., produces music with intricate orchestration and complex, eclectic lyricism. Each member has a unique musical history, which shows through the band's diverse sound.
"Honest Cowboy is indie rock and roll, and our sound comes from a youthful foundation in pursuit of musical maturity," says Jordan Thompson, vocalist and guitarist. This young
group has been making music together for a year and a half now and they find their influences from bands like Bon Iver, Arcade Fire and Thrice.
Currently, Honest Cowboy is writing and recording its first full-length album. So far, they've recorded at Surmount Studios in Lee's Summit, Mo., All Out Studios in Independence, Mo, and will be recording more tracks in Topeka at Rundown Studios, says Isak Anderson, backup vocalist and keyboardist.
The band is excited to release new music and Tyre Brown, bassist, says he believes they've "only just scratched the surface of each of our abilities."
Honest Cowboy is releasing its new full-length record, Motives, in early spring of 2012. For more information on the band and their upcoming shows, visit HonestCowboy. bandcamp.com.

MUSIC REVIEW // WAR ON DRUGS
>Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between
>Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
At one point during the War on Drugs show at the Jackpot on Nov. 1, my cohort and I excused ourselves to grab a breath of fresh air outside. After about 15 minutes, we reentered to find the front of house packed as four dudes from Pennsylvania started to set up. This story might be symbolic of Lawrence's reception to Philadelphia's War on Drugs, whose newest album, Slave Ambient, has been sending waves through indie record stores and music blogs. After several years as a musical entity, the group, led by singer and guitarist Adam Granduciel, has released a coherent, comprehensive record that captures his band's sound-dense yet shimmery, washing over the listener like a tide coming in.
The most important thing about Slave Ambient is that the band knows what its doing. The sound is thick, layered and atmospheric. What makes the music impressive is that there's a clear goal in mind. The songs have beginnings and ends; as easy as it would be for the band to jam on these tracks for all time, drummer Steven Urgo keeps things
grounded. This gives the songs the power of brevity.
It's a sound that fits the four-piece well. When performed live, songs come and go like bursts of static over a radio. The band members often swap instruments, moving between various 6 and 12-string electric and acoustic guitars, organs and horns. Despite the variety of sounds, the band is out to explore, every song successfully sounds like a War on Drugs song.

SCENE AND HEARD // DISC GOLF COURSES
> New places, new faces.
There are two public disc golf courses in Lawrence and they have at least one thing in common: they're free.
Centennial park, located at 6th and Rockledge, and River Front park, located at the intersection of North 2nd and Highway 24, both feature 18-hole disc golf courses. Disc golf is the counter-culture alternative to golf, the sport that, because of the expenses associated with it, is inaccessible for many college students." It's the perfect sport for college students," says Lawrence resident James Jerde. Jerde has been playing disc golf for 10 years, and says he's been lucky enough to play many of the courses in Kansas. "Centennial is a great course," he says.
Contributed Photo
The object of the game is to get your disc in the basket in as few throws as possible. It's a leisure sport that can be played alone or with others. And as with golf, part of the appeal comes from being able to spend time outdoors in scenic areas.
Of the the 3,000 courses listed in the United States, 87 percent have no walk-on fees, according to dgcourseviewcom. The only expense in disc golf, for the most part, is buying
discs. In Lawrence, Sunflower Outdoor & Bike has the widest selection. The price varies depending on the disc, but a beginners set of Innova discs, which includes a driver, a mid range disc, and a putting disc for close range shots lists at $23.
Xavier Garcia, an alumnus, began playing at Centennial park his freshman year. "Disc golf is great because it's so leisurely, and it's a lot less stressful than regular golf," he says. "It's fun to go out and just toss the disc around, and to just be out on the course."
Free Flying: Local disc golf courses give the Lawrence community a free place to play.

But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December.
It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed that on Wednesday he was not in Lawrence, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and his track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates still available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904
FINALS
SPEAK
"And I Quote, "
I can still remember calling my mom the afternoon I was hired to cover the Kansas football team for The University Daily Kansan. You couldn't have removed my smile with a jackhammer. None of my parents, grandparents or siblings had ever graduated from college, and here I was, officially a Jayhawk and officially writing for thousands of eyes. As I approached my vehicle, one of the signature pink parking violation envelopes rested under my windshield wiper. It didn't matter. I was exuberant. The childlike enthusiasm and optimism had consumed me.
But as uplifting as the day I was hired was, my downfall would be 10 times as devastating. One foolish mistake took everything away in an instant, and my life has been a journey in redeeming myself ever since.
One writer's journey from resignation to redemption
The job took its toll on me those first few months. Writing one, two or sometimes three stories a day was taxing, but the pride I felt when I saw someone reading my work on the bus or on campus was worth it. I was in awe of the gorgeous view from the press box at Memorial Stadium that first home game. I barely paid attention to the action on the field, choosing instead to take in the sights and sounds of that game day.
Then, only three months after it all began, it ended. The workload caught up with me and I made a careless mistake. In a story about coach Turner Gill's strange rules prohibiting player interaction with the opposite sex at night, I used a quote from senior punter Alonso Rojas that I first read on a story published by another reporter at the press conference earlier that day. Unfortunately, the quote in question was not spoken during the press conference itself but rather in a one-on-one with a reporter from The Lawrence Journal-World.
This, of course, is plagiarism. And this did not once enter my mind when I was writing the piece. But the day the article printed, my boss gave me a rare day off. The next day, I was summoned to the Kansan offices for a mysterious meeting.
I should preface this by saying I have a slightly paranoid personality. I always envision the worst possible scenario in every situation, and this was no different. I was in full-on freak-out mode. The situation only got worse when I
arrived and my editor moved our meeting into a closed-door room. He had a hard time even making eye contact with me. What could I possibly have done wrong?
crying, pathetic mess, I told him that I'm not a quitter. But after consulting some of my closest friends, I determined resigning was the best course of action. On Oct. 7, 2010, I officially and reluctantly resigned from the Kansan. The weeks following my resignation are a blur of resentment, shame and depression.
I resented staff members at the Kansan. I felt they refused to even lift a finger as I self-destructed. I almost obsessively looked for mistakes in subsequent football articles to make me feel better about myself. Most of all, I resented the University of Kansas itself and all of
I was asked about the quote and I gave an honest answer. Suspension, the editor said, was the only course of action from there. Devastated, I accepted my fate, left the newsroom and began praying. My prayers were not answered, because less than an hour later my phone rang. It was my boss telling me I needed to resign or be fired, and he needed an answer within the next 30 minutes. Now reduced to a

my peers. I contemplated everything from transferring to another university to changing my major from journalism to marketing.
There were other less visible scars. Where I used to feel pride and accomplishment when I saw someone reading the Kansan, I now felt shame. A short story about my resignation was printed the day after I left, and in what was likely an overinflated sense of self-importance, I figured everyone knew. Showing up for class right across from the Kansan offices proved to be a nerve-wracking experience. Looking back, I think I was most ashamed because I felt I had let everyone down. I knew how hard everyone worked to make the Kansan happen, and through my own carelessness, I felt I unintentionally betrayed them.
The depression, and I don't use that word lightly, contributed most to why I call that time period a blur. I found myself sleeping upwards of 16 hours a day when I could. I sank under my covers and took lengthy breaks from the problems of the real world. My weight ballooned to an all-time high as I carelessly shoved down any food that would comfort me. And my heart sank every time I heard or read a story relating to the football team.
Thankfully, I do think I was able to at least partially pull myself out of the enormous hole I was in. Through the Kansan's adviser, I was able to reconcile with the writer at The Lawrence Journal-World. My banishment was lifted and I was able to work for the summer edition of the Kansan. Flashes of the youthful joy and enthusiasm I had the previous summer returned slowly but surely, and this fall I was brought back to cover the volleyball team.
Getting fired by a friend sucks. At least when someone you dislike shows you the door, it can be blamed on jealousy or pettiness. But when a good friend tells you to pack your bags, you know you've really screwed up beyond repair. The road to redemption hasn't been easy, and I know it's not over yet. But I can feel better about the man looking back at me in the mirror. One of the many coaching clichés I've heard in my years covering sports is "adversity builds character." But in my case, I think it revealed it.

CAMPUS
Student Senate provides funding for Occupy KU group
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Occupy KU secured $200 in funding from the Student Senate Wednesday night after offering assurances that they will not start a riot or large-scale disturbance on campus.
The group is required, according to Senate funding rules, to use the money to buy office supplies or paper and printing.
Brian Sultana, a senior from Man
hattan, sponsored the bill as a student senator for the School of Social Welfare. He said the group wants to get students involved in issues including student debt and University contracts with multinational corporations.
"The issues are many," Sultana said. "But the goal right now is to get that information out and get students talking about it."
Sultana has been involved in the Occupy KU group from the beginning, he said. One issue the group
is talking about is the University's exclusive contract with Coca-Cola. Sultana said Occupy KU members are discussing accusations of environmental abuses, union busting and even murder at the cola company's overseas bottling plants. That same issue has been raised by the New York Times, Businessweek and the PBS program Frontline since 2005.
Occupy KU meets each Tuesday at noon and 4 p.m. and each Friday at 4 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Kansas
Union. The group is making plans to start tabling in the first week of the spring semester as part of an effort to attract more students. Sultana said the group now counts around 15 regular members. The group's Facebook profile has 60 members.
Hannah Bolton, senate chief of staff, said some senators did have concerns about approving funding for Occupy KU.
"We were kind of questioning their validity as a group." Bolton said.
But the group met Student Senate requirements of being open to all students, which entitled it to $200 for office supplies and a banner just like any registered student group. Bolton said senate is not able to discriminate against any group that applies for funding and meets those requirements.

SURVIVAL GUIDE
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Kansas fans cheering and throwing ripped up newspapers in the air while the starting line up is announced at the beginning of the game Wednesday. Kansas played against Florida Atlantic at Allen Fieldhouse and won 77-44. Students camp to reserve a seat before each home game outside of Allen Fieldhouse.
MAGGIE YOUNG
editor@kansan.com
You feel the wind of the basketball players rushing by you as you repeat the traditional "Rock Chalk" chant in unison with fellow students and diehard fans. This is what Kansas basketball is all about. In order to live this moment of glory, you must do one thing and do it well: camp.
"It gets intense, but I want good seats so I make sure to camp for every game," said Steph Castro, a junior from Leawood with two years of camping experience. Here's how to make the most out of your camping endeavors:
STEP 1, PICK RELIABLE PEOPLE AND A CREATIVE GROUP NAME
Here are some submitted camping group names to inspire your basketball camping journey;
- Bill Self for President
- Welcome to Lawrence Bitch
- The Phog Effect
- Withey's Women
- Third Floor Moves Like Swagger
Use these original titles to formulate your own. Once you have that settled, you are ready to embark on one of the greatest basketball traditions.
Group maximum is 30 campers and group minimum is five campers.
What you should know: Your chances of camping success increase with more group members. Let's break this down: More group members means less camping for you and it's more efficient for each member. Recruit as many people as possible to reach the maximum group total of 30.
STEP 2: PLAN YOUR CAMPING SHIFTS
- The average camping shift is about two hours long
- Camping connoisseurs say one hour is as short as your shift will get.
- As for the lengthy camping sessions? Expect the worst, which is five hours.
Organize, organize, organize. Campers can't emphasize organization enough. It's a crucial skill to acquire in the competition that is Kansas basketball camping.
STEP 3: SET UP CAMP
"Actually camp and don't be nervous to go, just do it," said Tyler Darland, a junior from Wichita. Darland is an experienced camper who earned front row seats to the Kansas vs. Missouri game last year.
"Our group meets after every home game to assign new camping shifts and exchange phone numbers with group members," Castro said. "It's intense."
- Bring a deluxe air mattress into Allen Fieldhouse or go old school and drag in your bed mattress.
Comfort is key, so why not bring your bed with you?
- Order pizza. Pizza Shuttle will deliver to Allen Fieldhouse's doorstep. Pizza is the main staple of a camper's diet during a shift. Jimmy Johns and Chipotle make the cut as well.
Essentials
- Homework, notos, class materials.
- The weirdest food spotted at the fieldhouse during camping hours; Encore Cafe take-out.
"I use camping time to get my homework done and catch up on sleep." Darland said.
"The hard floor gets really uncomfortable," Darland said. "My advice is to bring a booie and use your book bag as a pillow."
Something soft to sleep on
- Your technology collection including a cell phone, laptop and iPod.
Make sure to lace those sneakers before you make your way to Allen Fieldhouse for the big game.
STEP 4: SHOW UP TO GAME DAY IN YOUR RUNNING SHOES
"When you go the game, get in there and run to your spot, don't wait," said Sierra Franklin, a sophomore member of the Tharpidos camping group.
Camping for basketball games is part of the lajyawk tradition and in order to be a successful camper you need to know the system.
"I enjoy camping because it adds to the experience and it is worth it when you get to experience being in the front row at a big game," Darland said.

Kaitlin McAlexander, a freshman from St. Louis, grabs a stress ball provided by Peer Health Education at Anschutz Library while studying for her chemistry test Wednesday night. "I think the stress balls and water are a good idea," said McAlexander. "It gives me an excuse to get up and walk around while studying."
De-stress with study breaks
SARA SNEATH
ssneath@kansan.com
At 8 p.m. Wednesday, an announcement was made on the overhead speakers in Anschutz Library advertising free refreshments and stress balls. KU students flocked to the third-floor entrance and grabbed goodies before returning to their studies. Fifteen minutes later, the Hawk Week volunteers gave away their last free bottle of water.
Phillips theme, a junior from Wichita, said the event occurred at the perfect time.
"Everyone is all stressed," he said. "We need a little break."
The Stress-Busting Study Break is an annual two-day event put on by Hawk Week in cooperation with Student Health Services. This year the event was hosted on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Anschutz.
Three years ago Student Health Services decided to expand on the event by hosting a table with free water and snacks every Tuesday beginning six weeks out from Stop Day, said Heidi Garcia, program manager of the health education resource office.
"We're trying to get tips and tools to students about managing stress; finding time to relax and taking 15 minutes to enjoy an activity," Garcia said.
Alexandra Vogl, a sophomore from Chicago, and Jay Westhead, a sophomore from Kansas
City, Mo., said they did not know about the event before hearing the announcement.
Vogl said she was happy to take part in the much-needed study break. Vogl and Westhead said they are typically in Anschutz at this time.
"I kind of live here," Westhead said.
Neither Westhead nor Vogl have witnessed a similar event. However, both would like to see more in the future.
Garcia said Student Health Services planned to mimic the event in the spring.
"We have counted before that within five minutes we go through a hundred items," Garcia said. "It's a very successful event."
Allie Raymond, a sophomore from San Diego, said she and her friends did not want to stand in line for the bottles of water and stress balls.
"There was like a herd of humans that hurtled themselves at the stress balls," said Raymond, who had already purchased snacks at the Anschutz food stand.
Garcia said when students took the free bottles of water and snacks from the Stress-Busting Study Break table they were handed a bag of pamphlets.
"Students are walking away with more than just a free apple; they are walking away with tips and tools," Garcia said.

A 13-year-old was handcuffed and hauled off to a juvenile detention for burping in class, according to a lawsuit filed against an Albquerque school principal. a teacher and school police officer.
The boy was transported without his parents being notified in May after he "burped audibly" in PE class and his teacher called a school resource officer to complain he was disrupting her class. The lawsuit also details a separate Nov. 8 incident when the same student was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched as he was accused of selling pot to another student; the boy was never charged.

Many presidents have less sweeping goals in mind, seeing the new Community of Latin American and Caribbean States mainly as a forum for resolving regional conflicts, building closer ties and promoting economic development.
CAIRO
The political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest and best organized group, could take as much as 45 percent of the seats being contested. The Egyptian bloc coalition of liberal parties and the ultra-fundamentalist Nour party were competing for second place, the judges said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the count remains incomplete.
PARIS
Following an unexpectedly large turnout, Egypt's election commission announced Thursday a delay in final results for the first-round of parliamentary elections while judges monitoring the count said Islamist parties are poised to gain a parliamentary majority.
A new book purports to give Dominique Strauss-Kahn's version of events of what happened in that New York hotel suite.
In "DSK Affairs: The Second Inquiry," Strauss-Kahn's biographer says when a hotel maid locked eyes with the then head of the International Monetary Fund after he emerged naked from a shower, he interpreted her allegedly seductive body language as a proposition.
The one-time French presidential contender has not spoken out on the May 14 encounter which led U.S. authorities to charge him with attempted rape, and the book is being marketed as his much-anticipated side of the story.

High school cleared after Thursday bomb threat
"I was walking into school and there was like 50 kids just running out and they started yelling," said Kyle McFarland, a junior at Free State. "I thought there was a fight or something."
A written bomb threat led to the evacuation of Free State High School Thursday morning. Police received the report at around 7:45 a.m., and all students and faculty left the building without injury, according to a release from the Lawrence Police Department.
The Lawrence School District directed
the students be sent home as a precaution.
Police and school officials conducted a thorough search of the building, finding nothing that appeared suspicious, out of place or threatening to the safety and security of the campus, according to a notice on the school district's website. Free State resumed after-school and evening activities Thursday and will be in session Friday as planned.
Police asked anyone with information to call 785-832-7650.

Four students expelled after A&M hazing death
University President James Ammons referred to the dismissals in a memo he sent earlier this week to members of the FAMU Board of Trustees, but didn't specify what the four students did. Authorities say hazing played a role in the death of Robert Champion, but they have not released any more specifics as they continue to investigate.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida A&M University said that it's dismissing four students for their role in the death of a marching band member last month, while audio of an emergency call released Thursday showed that the drum major had vomit in his mouth in the moments before he died.
Ammons says in his memo that the university has a zero-tolerance policy on hazing, then states; "I want to report that four students have been dismissed from the University in connection to the Robert Champion include: t."
In the 911 recording obtained by The Associated Press, an unidentified caller told the emergency dispatcher that Champion had stopped breathing and was unresponsive. Champion had just thrown up, the caller said before handing the phone to a second man.
The 26-year-old Cuiampian was found unresponsive Nov. 19 on a bus parked outside an Orlando, Fla., hotel after the school's football team lost to a rival.
"We need an ambulance ASAP," the first caller said. "His eyes are open but he's not responding."
The dispatcher told the second man to place Champion on his back and
He is cold, the second caller said. The owner of the company that transported members of the band known as the Marching 100 told the AP Thursday that the driver did not hear or see any commotion on the bus before Champion collapsed.
Ray Land, president of Fabulous Coach Lines, said his company has transported the band to many games and never had any incidents of hazing or inappropriate conduct on the buses.
clean any vomit from his nose and mouth. But the call was disconnected before the caller could say if he was successful. Before the call ended, the man told the dispatcher he was going to attempt to resuscitate Champion. He also is heard ordering another man to get a defibrillator from inside the hotel.
"He is cold," the second caller said.
FAMU's hand director, Julian White was fired as part of the fallout over Champion's death. Ammons also suspended the Marching 100.
The driver was helping students unload their instruments outside the hotel when Champion collapsed. Land said.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott asked Thursday that the state university system have all 11 universities review anti-hazing rules. Florida's Board of Governors, which oversees all the universities, already requires all schools to have anti-hazing rules and penalties.
FAMU says it will conduct an independent review, but the group that oversees the public university system in Florida says it also will carry out an investigation into whether FAMU ignored past warnings about hazing.

Hunter shot in butt with own shotgun
ODD NEWS
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah bird hunter was shot in the butt after his dog stepped on a shotgun laid across the bow of a boat.
Box Elder County Sheriff's Deputy Kevin Potter said the 46-year-old Brigham City man was duck hunting with a friend when he climbed out of the boat to move decos.
The man was hit from 10 feet away with 27 pellets of birdshot. He wasn't seriously injured, partly because he was weaning waders. The man was treated at a nearby hospital.
Potter said the man left his 12-gauge shotgun in the boat and the dog stepped on it, causing it to fire. It's unclear if the safety was on.

Where was the announcement of a legendary band reunion promised during the February awards broadcast? CBS and the Recording Academy had publicized that Wednesday's broadcast would disclose the name of a historically significant band that would reunite for the upcoming show, but that never happened. Producers were mum, but sources close to the show said that talks with the band — reportedly the Beach Boys — fell apart in the 48 hours leading up to the nomination show.
LOS ANGELES — Lady Gaga might be showing signs that she wants to add a little country sugar to her pop-star glitter. Pairing with Jennifer Nettles of Graftland during Wednesday's Grammy nomination broadcast for the closing ballad "You and I," Gaga lustily slammed on the piano in her black eye makeup, seeming more like a caffeinated raccoon than an outre pop monster. Weird cosmetics aside, she seemed delighted to take a long loam in the country. Could a Lady Gaga number with cowgirl boots and tassel be far behind?
Judging by applause only, Nicki Minaj is the crowd favorite for best new artist. If she wins, it'll be the first time since Lauren Hill won in 1999 that a female MC takes the trophy. But it's possible that one of the dark horses could take the race, like Esperanza Spalding did last year.

Soccer's popularity rising in America
SPORTS
Can soccer supplant baseball as America's pastime?
By Jarod Kilgore jkilgore@kansan.com
As baseball loses popularity and people become more apathetic toward the slow-paced former pastime, more children fall in love with the beautiful game. For decades, it was said that, "soccer would become huge in the US", but it never happened. That is all changing now and the future is bright for soccer.
To some people, baseball will always be slow, boring and old-fashioned. Those people shouldn't expect change any time soon. These complaints have been charged against baseball since the modern age began in 1901, and it would be foolish to think these qualities would now be the downfall of the game. As Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports once said, "The first professional baseball team was established
in 1869. Two weeks later, someone probably wrote a column about how baseball was dying, on its way out and utterly, utterly doomed."
"Change" is not a word often spoken in baseball circles — maybe you heard me when I said the "Modern" Age began in 1901?
There are some new problems in this age however. Predicting how long a game will last can be a crapshoot, and a potential problem in the age of DVRs. In comparison, soccer comes in at a nearly clean 90 minutes — sometimes less time than it takes Robinson Cano to step back in the damn batter's box.
Soccer has been predicted to take baseball over in popularity for decades, with most pointing to its surge in youth teams as the determinant factor, but it still hasn't happened. Television ratings are often used as a barometer when
describing America's waning interest in baseball, but this is actually a poor method. Baseball is consumed on the local level, not national like football or international like soccer's World Cup. Much better measuring sticks are ticket sales and actual in-stadium attendance, where MLB drew its fifth highest total of all-time in 2009, in the middle of an economic recession.
The same characteristics contributing to the impressions of those who don't like the game are also those that make baseball peaceful, full of strategy, impressively difficult and rife with tradition. The game isn't changing to adjust to our modern generation, and because of it, it's not going anywhere.

Soccer has major sporting potential
Soccer, also known as football or futbol internationally, is the world's most popular sport. Every four years, the world's best come together to take part in the FIFA World Cup, but there was always one country that it seemed, would never be soccermad. America. However, over the past two decades, popularity has risen in spectatorship and youth athletics.
Soccer was popular in this country in the early 20th century; however, it went into the wilderness until the 1994 World Cup. That World Cup, hosted here in the States, broke all previous attendance records, a feat which won't likely be broken until the United States hosts again. When the U.S. received the World Cup bid, Major League Soccer was formed in response to the requests of FIFA, the world soccer governing body. That league has survived to this day, many of us in this area will have know of the local club's playoff run. Television figures have soared, not only for the World Cup every four years, but also
for European domestic leagues, such as the Premier League in England and La Liga in Spain, and European domestic cups, like the Champions League.
Soccer has grown in popularity as a spectator sport, and there are more children playing than ever before. According to their websites, the United States Youth Soccer Association boasts more than 3 million players between the ages of five and 19, while American Youth Soccer Organization has more than 300,000 players between the ages of four and 19. That is more than any country in the world. High schools are switching to soccer because of its relatively low costs of operation. It is a perfect way for children to play a sport that is relatively safer than American football and involves constant running. As more and more Latin immigrants enter this country, soccer will only become more popular. With a population like the United States has, there is a potential powerhouse in the making.

FASHION
Debate rages over leggings
By Lizzie Marx
lmarx@kansan.com
Leggings have been a fashion controversy for several winter seasons now. European soldiers started wearing trews, an early edition of the modern day legging, in the 13th century to keep their legs warm while on the battlefield. In the 1960s, the leggings as we know them by today became popular mainly for exercise. It was not until the 1980s when the leggings became a fashion staple. More recently, during the spring 2010 Fashion Week, Marni debuted leggings for men, something very avant garde.
1, for one, am a fan of leggings. They are a great go to "pant" for an early morning class when you have slept in a little longer than planned. With little to no thought or effort required, many girls can create a trendy outfit consisting of leggings and a chunky sweater and head of the door looking like they stepped out of a magazine.
But with leggings, you either love them or you loathe them.
However, as with any controversial topic, there are always negative side effects. Nausea may occur when you spot someone wearing the leggings in incorrect taste. I do not care if you have the body of Gisele or Rosie O' Donnell. No one, I repeat, no one, should ever reveal the shape of his or her derriere in public. When walking down Jayhawk Boulevard, show a little respect to your classmates and if you choose to wear leggings, wear them appropriately.
When paired correctly with boots and an oversized sweater, leggings are a great substitute for jeans, only, and I mean only, if they provide full coverage. In order to have a tasteful yet fashionable outfit with leggings, the top or sweater must fall to the mid thigh. This helps create a balance and proper set of proportions to an outfit when paired with leg skimming leggings.
Kim Kardashian set herself up for misfortune when she was spotted the day before her blink-of-aneye wedding wearing see-through leggings. With a mistake like this, we all should have known the marriage was doomed.
Recently, Pipppa Middelton was spotted wearing leggings. However, a royal scandal did not occur since she wore them with an oversized green coat and boots. Her famous bum was completely covered, leaving fashion followers in amaze with her style sense.
Even if you still are not a fan of leggings, their relative, the jegging, could be a better alternative for you. The jegging allows you to still have a skinny pant leg that is perfect with flats or boots, however, since they are constructed out of lightweight denim, they give you the look of the legging with the comfort and coverage of the jean.
With all controversy, it always comes down to a matter of taste and respect. Yet, who knew that this stretchy spandex could be such a persnickety pant.
My favorite look is to pair leather leggings, also known as liquid leggings, with a menswear inspired blazer and classic stilettos. This outfit is the epitome of city chic and is sultry while still remaining tasteful.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fashion promotes unrealistic values
It's that time of the year again when unrealistic girls prince around in anything but clothes down the runway as every girl in America watches with envy (ak.a. the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show). Most likely the guys are swarmed around the television, drinking beer and fantasizing about each model as she does the casual wink and blows a kiss. I on the other hand was enjoying a cream cheese pizza to myself and finishing it off with a large coke. I wonder who the envious ones are now? But what I'm getting at is the Victoria Secret fashion show gives false perception of what every girl should strive to be. Besides those models, I don't know of one person who really looks like that and I hope to keep it that way. The percentage of girls with eating disorders is unbelievable and I wouldn't doubt that this fashion show sparked a
few more. We all want to feel good in our own skin and be confident with who we are, but going to extremes in order to look like these women isn't worth it. So to all those girls out there who are skipping meals and hating their bodies simply because you don't compare to the 100 pound girl on TV; stop. We all are beautiful in our own ways and that sounds cliché, it's true. We're too young to let our self image over power our every day lives, so next time you find yourself crowding around the TV wishing you looked like the walking skeletons, just remember that their diet most likely consists of water and barfing. So enjoy your pizza and drink your beer, because in their eyes, we're all fat.

Nursing students miss out on Lawrence life
JONATHAN COOPER editor@kansan.com
Most nights, Elaine O'Neill sits alone in her two-bedroom, high-rise apartment reading a nursing book. Outside her window, the outline of downtown Kansas City is silhouetted in the evening sky, and the loud hum of a bustling city rises from the street below. She lives a metropolitan lifestyle that many people would be envious of, yet all she can think about are her friends in Lawrence.
O'Neill is a first-year nursing student at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She is one of many junior students that have transferred from KU in Lawrence to nursing school in Kansas City, Kan. In the process, many students feel that by living in Kansas City, they are missing out on a true college experience.
"Lawrence is more of a college life. You have a big campus, you
can walk around and you are with your friends," O'Neill said. "Here it's like you go to class, and you study."
A Prestigious Program
US News recently ranked KU's nursing program as one of the 50 best in the nation. O'Neill is aware of the statistics.
"I know it will be worth it in the end," O'Neill said. "It's a lot of studying and a lot of work right now."
While she is grateful for the opportunity and does not regret her decision, she does miss multiple things about Lawrence.
"I sometimes feel like I am in high school again because I have class from 8 to 3," O'Neill said. "In Lawrence I had maybe one or two classes a day."
She said the toughest part, though, was missing her friends.
O'Neill said that KU was the only nursery school she applied
to, despite having to move to Kansas City.
While having to leave a college town was not a factor for O'Neill, it was a deciding factor for another student.
College Town Nursing School
Stacey Frasher is the same age as O'Neill and attended high school in Kansas at St. Thomas Aquinas. She was a KU fan her entire life, but because of her aspirations in nursing and because she did not want to leave a college town after two years, Frasher decided to attend the University of Missouri.
"When I visited Mizzou I really liked the nursing school staff," Frasher said. "I didn't go to KU because I did not want to leave my friends once I got into nursing school, and here I do not have to."
The University of Missouri's nursing program is near the main
campus in Columbia, Mo. Frasher is in her first year of nursing school and said that although she studies more, she still is able to have fun and live the college experience.
"College life is a big thing for me," Frasher said. "I may not go out as much as I used to, but I still am able to go out every weekend."
Frasher said she believed she would have a better college experience than if she had gone to the University of Kansas for nursing.
"It's hard to say without knowing every girl, but I think I'll have a better experience than nursing students at KU simply because I live on campus," Frasher said. "I'm glad I decided to come here."
A Fix To The System?
Both Frasher and O'Neill agreed that KU's program, where aspiring nurses must leave Lawrence after two years, might keep
students from applying.
"I know examples of girls that did not do nursing because of that reason," O'Neill said. "One of my really, really good friends was set on nursing and she didn't want to come to Kansas City so she changed to physical therapy."
Frasher knows she is also a perfect example.
While logistics might prevent a nursing program in Lawrence, O'Neill suggested ways KU could make it work.
"They could find a way to move the building to campus," O'Neill said. "The only problem would be clinicals. I don't know if Lawrence Memorial Hospital is big enough to hold us."
"I definitely think I'll feel like I missed out, but in the end, the pros of nursing outweigh the cons of missing that college life."
Even though she misses Lawrence, O'Neill said she made the right choice to attend KU.

O'Neill said.
O'Neill has gradually adjusted to life away from campus. She said weekdays were toughest for her because she used to spend them with friends. Instead, her evenings are spent in her apartment in the city, the ever-present nursing book in her lap, and the longing of Lawrence inside her.

The Douglas County AIDS Project is on campus this week to mark World AIDS Day. The group offers students information on HIV
AIDS as well as free, confidential testing.
Group offers HIV/AIDS testing
AUTUMN MORNINGSKY
amorningsky@kansan.com
Red ribbons adorned trees on campus Thursday to mark World AIDS Day. The Douglas County AIDS Project has been on campus all week, promoting awareness and prevention of HIV and AIDS.
With around 100 confirmed cases in Douglas, Jefferson and Franklin counties, group members said they're reaching out to students because of the higher risks for people from ages 15 to 25.
"We do have a lot of young people; young people are one of the largest demographics of people that are potentially exposed to HIV", said DCAP volunteer Chad Steele. "A lot of people have multiple partners, which is another big risk factor."
The non-profit group offers students information on preventing the virus, as well as free and confidential HIV testing. For students still wanting to get tested, the process is easy. All it takes is a five minute mouth swab, and results are back within one to two weeks.
"There's a little bit of self-reflection that comes along with HIV testing," said DCAP prevention coordinator Olivia Bruschette. "If you can look back and know that, hey, maybe I should get a test, come on in and do it."
Students can still get tested Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Union.
The tests are administered in the alcoves on the third floor of the Kansas Union.

Fingerprint scan introduced at student recreation center
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Starting Monday, students can register their fingerprints with the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center and leave their KU Card at home when they visit in the future. The rec center is switching to a new software system that will read students' fingerprints and obtain all the information currently accessed through the KU Card center.
Students can expect long lines Monday as the system is introduced to employees and visit-

Students have often complained that they could access the rec center if they forget their card and about the inconvenience of carrying it with them. There have also been cases when students tried to enter with someone else's card.
"There's all sorts of discrepancies." Fitzgerald said. "People would come in and it would clearly not be their ID. They would say, 'oh, it's my brother.'"
"It's probably going to be pretty chaotic."

Students bring their KU Card one more time and register their fingerprints at the rec center's administrative office in room 103 or at the front desk, where they ordinarily swipe their card. Once they are registered, they will be able to enter with just their fingerprint, though they will still have the
option of continuing to use the card. The new system will allow students to use their fingerprints to purchase locks and register for fitness courses and sports, just as they now do with their cards. Students will still need to use their cards to check out equipment until that service is included in the spring semester.
Students should see more locations around campus where they can register their fingerprints in the spring, and the rec center will announce those on its website and through Facebook and Twitter, Fitzgerald said. Those other locations may take some pressure off of the rec center employees as they continue registering students.
After the new system is completely installed at the rec center, the Robinson Center will begin using it, too. Fitzgerald said.
"It's probably going to be pretty chaotic," Fitzgerald said. "The second semester is always busier because of New Year's resolutions."

Game to remember
Angel Goodrich
Once again, Goodrich continues to be the glue that keeps the team together. Goodrich was a stat sheet stuffer with 15 points, four rebounds, eight assists, and four steals. The one thing she'll look to do is reduce turnovers, of which she racked up five this game.
Game to forget
Goodrich
Cece Harper
Although, Harper got her second consecutive start, she did not get nearly as many minutes as the rest of the sisters. She only managed one point in her 12 minutes of play. Harper was also caught being a little too aggressive, racking up three fouls for the game.

Despite a rough first half, Kansas tightened up its play to secure a win
kgier@kansan.com
Following 11 fouls in the first half, it looked like the Kansas women's basketball team might be reaching to the end of its bench before the game was over.
But instead of continuing on that fouling trend, the Jayhawks came out in the second half with an aggressive style of defense without fouling the Mustangs.
KANSAS
13
Playing this style of defense allowed Kansas to expand the lead in the second half and eventually cruise to the 75-52 victory over SMU.
"Maybe not go out as hard and be more smart around the ball and so that's what we did. We came out smart in the second half," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said.
Sutherland had two fouls going into the second half, but managed to avoid further fouls for the rest of the game. Sutherland finished with 14 points and six rebounds.
Junior Carolyn Davis also struggled with fouls throughout the game. She came into the second half with three fouls to her name.
Two of those fouls occurred at 5:16 mark of the first half, when Davis tangled with SMU's junior guard Kristen Hernandez.
After the officials blew the whistle for a double foul, both players exchanged a few shoves, but Davis caught the attention of the officials and was given a technical foul.
"I know that team's are going to go after me just because of who I am," Davis said. "I should be prepared for that. I just got out of character."
Following an extended layoff for the first eight minutes of the second half, Davis entered the game with a mission to widen the lavhawks' lead.
By the time the clock ticked less than ten minutes, Kansas had an 18-point lead.
Like several nights this year, Davis led all scorers with 17 points.
Junior Monica Engelman catches some hang time as she puts up a shot in the Jayhawks' game against Southern Methodist University. Engelman went 2 for 6 from the field and had 7 points against the Mustangs.
"I hate turnovers and right now I feel like I've been averaging five turnovers a game and that's not what I'm looking for," she said.
Although the post players battled through early foul trouble, the Jayhawks' junior point guard Angel Goodrich held the team together.
ABBY DAVIS/KANSAN
Goodrich finished the game with 15 points and eight assists, but the number that bothers Goodrich the most was her five turnovers.
Still, Goodrich had a few key defensive plays including a steal she anticipated and picked off before the Mustangs guard could even put a fingertip on it. Goodrich finished that play with a layup at 16:53 remaining.
"I try to do that when they are kind of floating up." Goodrich said. "When I see they're about
to throw it I jump up."
Goodrich and Davis led the Jayhawks with four steals.

Looking back on a bumpy and volatile season
MATT GALLOWAY

twitter.com/UDK_vbail
On the heels of the Kansas volleyball team's final game on Saturday and the news on Sunday that it missed the NCAA tournament, coach Ray Beard spent much of his time reflecting on the season and playing the "What if?" game.
"Sometimes it's at 3 in the afternoon, and sometimes it's at 3 in the morning." Bechard said.
In a conference that got seven seeds in the NCAA tournament, one can't help but join Bechard in wondering what would have happened if the Jayhawks (15-14, 3-13) had turned the tables in their heartbreaking five-set losses to No. 15 Northern Iowa or No. 9 Texas.
But don't include junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree in that group.
"I hate the 'What if?' game," Tolefie said. "At the end of the season, personally I can only reflect on it for so long and then I have to move on. I can't function thinking about it so long."
The layhawks had their share of ups and downs in 2011. From the team's best start since 2002
to one of the worst conference seasons in program history, it is hard assigning an identity to the team even after the season's end.
On one hand, the five-set shocker against No. 6 Minnesota on Sept. 10 was the highest ranked opponent the team has scored a victory over in program history. Pre-conference play included three invitational wins and three Most Valuable Player awards for senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield. The team finished its season with a 25-9 set victory against Baylor, an NCAA tournament team, and Mayfield set the school record for most kills in a single season with 462.
On the other hand, the team ran into a wall in conference play. The team lost what could possibly be the program's final contest with Missouri on Nov. 2 at home. In fact, it netted a program-low three wins in conference play that dashed any hopes for its first post-season appearance since 2005.
"I think it was difficult to start conference play with Texas and Iowa State back-to-back," Bechard said. "I think our confidence took a bit of a jolt and I think that defined a bit of our conference season, that inability
to bounce back from losses as soon as you need to."
One of those players who lost confidence in conference play was sophomore setter Kara Wehrs, Bechard said. Wehrs, who will be a critical cog next season when the team has only two setters, said she looks forward to bouncing back from adversity next season.
"Maybe when we started losing all those games in a row, it could have affected my confidence," Wehrs said. "I wouldn't say it was the reason why, but I think it could have happened to anyone."
Ultimately, Tolefree said she will remember 2011 as a squad that took its bumps but never lost its cool.
"We got frustrated but we never turned against each other," Tolefree said. "It would've been really easy to not show up and work hard. For as tense as it was not winning, I think the relationships that we have, we stuck it out together. That will bind us together through the spring and into the fall."

Zenger on the hunt for next head coach
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
Sheahon Zenger has worked for and alongside some of the brightest and most prominent names in college football. He worked on Bill Snyder's staff at Kansas State from 1989-1992. He worked for South Floridas former head coach Jim Leavitt as well. And most importantly, for the time being at least, he worked with two of the Stoops brothers at one point in his career.
Now, he is the Kansas athletics director and is in charge of finding the next football coach of the University of Kansas. And it's not too much of a stretch to think his time and experiences as a coach will play a major role in finding his man.
Zenger's connection with the Stoops brothers began with the most notable one — Bob. Currently Oklahoma's head coach, Bob Stoops began his coaching career in the same year that Zenger joined Bill Snyder's staff at Kansas State. The two worked together for three years before Zenger returned to school to get his Ph.D. in 1993.
After earning his doctorate in 1996, Zenger returned to coaching and got a job as the recruiting coordinator for South Florida. The same year, current Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops got a job as the defensive backs coach at South Florida.
Zenger and Stoops both left South Florida after one year. Zenger left to be the recruiting coordinator at Wyoming. Stoops left to be the defensive back coach — also at Wyoming.
Within two years of joining Wyoming's staff, Zenger became the running back coach and an assistant head coach. Along with his coaching tasks, Harkins said the position came with many administrative duties as well. He said Zenger has seen all sides of the business.
The two worked together at Wyoming for three years. During that time, they also worked with Tim Harkins, Wyoming's associate athletics director and media relations director for football. Harkins considers himself to be a friend of Zenger's and the two have stayed in sporadic contact since Zenger left Wyoming in 2000.
In the current coaching search at Kansas, Zenger and his innermost circle are as tightlipped a group as they could be. He won't talk about candidates specifically, but he has said that he is currently out of Lawrence conducting interviews and that he has, for now, six to 10 strong replacements for Turner Gill in mind.
And it just so happens that Mark Stoops is currently thought of as one of the top assistant coaches in the country. He's considered to be someone who will get a head coaching job sooner, rather than later. In 2009, Stoops inherited a defense that was
"Sheahen was an ultimate professional," Harkins said.

ranked 108th in the country. His current defense at Florida State is the sixth best in the country.
Zenger
A former Wyoming free safety from 1998-1999 Matt Lehning
was under Stoops' command for two years. Lehning was a Second Team All-Conference defensive back for the Western Athletic Conference in his senior year at Wyoming and he is not surprised that Stoops' name is being thrown around for a head coaching position.
Edited by Ben Chipman
"He's got such a knowledge actually for the game," Lehning said. "And he's a great leader, he's very fiery, very intense, a motivator, you'll actually go to war for the guy. I think it was just a matter of time."
So as Zenger continues to conduct his interviews, he may just select the man he feels the most comfortable with. And that man could very well end up being Mark Stoops. "They definitely had a good working relationship," Harkins said. "They worked here closely for three years."

Robinson improves on the line
When junior forward Thomas Robinson was a freshman, he had one downfall in his game that hushed some of the hype. The burly forward who drew fouls with ease couldn't take advantage of them. The free throws wouldn't fall.
Wednesday night against Florida Atlantic University, Robinson stepped to the charity stripe 13 times, breathed easy each time and hit 11.
"Now when I miss a free throw, I'm mad," Robinson said. "The past two years it didn't really matter if I missed a free throw."
Kansas plays the University of South Florida on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse, and when Robinson returns to the
line,he'll aim to keep his pace and not revert to his former ways.
As a freshman, coming off the bench behind the Morris twins and Cole Aldrich, Robinson
played 7.2 minutes per game and made just 39.5 percent (17-43) of his free throws. In contrast, Sherron Collins made 85.5 percent (118-138) the same year.
"He said, 'Just be a man and step up there and knock down your free throws.'"
In Robinson's sophomore season, the Morris twins were still around but Aldrich was off to the NBA. Robinson's minutes just about doubled to 14.6 per game and he shot 51 percent from the line; improvement, but nothing to be proud of.
Just as he did in previous sum
mers, Robinson worked on his free throws every day. But this summer he knew that they would matter more and he had to start making them at a higher rate. No longer would he be a sixth man;

progresses. Self can't depend on automatic scoring from most players on this team. There's no player like Collins who can find a bucket out of nothing. Senior guard Conner Teahan, who has been dependable at Allen Fieldhouse all season, catalyzed a slow start on Wednesday with three 3-point baskets. But away from the Fieldhouse, Teahan has converted only three of 11 3-point shots. That's where Robinson's free throws can help.
"Not any more than I did during my first two years," Robinson said. "Coach just told me it's a confidence thing."
If the beginning of the season is an indicator, the Jayhawks will often find themselves in offensive droughts as the season
Other than telling Robinson to fix his own problems at the line over the summer, Self gave Robinson other advice in simple terms.
"He said, 'Just be a man and step up there and knock down your free throws,' Robinson said.

Bad weather doesn't stop McIlroy's drives
HONG KONG — U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot a 6-under 64 in blustery conditions on Thursday to share the lead with Alvaro Quiros and David Horsey after the opening round of the Hong Kong Open.
The Northern Irishman had the worst of the early morning conditions as most of the top players in the field, including defending champion Ian Poulter (71), struggled in the swirling winds at the Fanling course at Hong Kong Golf Club.
Quiris and Horsey shot their 64s when conditions improved later in the day.
"I was able to handle the wind pretty well today. This is probably the best round that I have played here." McLroy said. "It was a solid round. I didn't make a mistake, six birdies and no bogeys is always a nice way to start the tournament.
"I hit 17 greens and just kept giving myself a lot of opportunities and it was very nice to be able to take a few of them."

Kansas has a history of great track and field coaches. Bill Easton won 39 Big Eight conference championships in cross country and track through the 1950s and 1960s. The first track and field coach ever at Kansas was the legendary Dr. James Naismith. However, the coach that will be celebrated this coming weekend is Bob Timmons. From 1966 to 1988 Bob Timmons coached the Jayhawk men's track teams to four National Championships. Coach Timmons will enter the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame on Saturday, making Kansas the university with the most representatives in the Hall of Fame of all Division I programs with 11.

"The renovations are great," coach Stanley Redwine said. "We're excited about the new surface and hopefully the times will show. That's another thing; we don't know if our athletes are running better or if it's just the
surface that's better."
This will be the 12th season for Stanley Redwine as the coach of the Kansas Jayhawks track and field team. Between the men's and women's teams, the Jayhawks return 11 All-Americans from last season. There are 16 freshmen that will join the team this season and six of those athletes combined for 10 high school state championships last year.
The Bob Timmons Challenge will give coaches and fans an evaluation of what is to come this season for Kansas track and field.
Freshman Alisha Keys was the 64 State Champion in the 100-meter and 200-meters in 2011 and will run the 200-meter for the Jayhawks as well as the 4x400-meter relay. Junior Danesha Morris and senior Shayla Wilson, both All-Americans, will join Keys as members of the 4x400-meter relay team. Junior Andrea Geubelle, the All-American in long jump and triple jump
will compete in long jump and the 60-meter dash.
After recovering from a torn Achilles tendon during the cross country season, senior Donny Wasinger will compete in the 3,000-meter and the distance meld relay. Wasinger was a second team All-American in the 1,500-meter last season. Junior sprinter Kyle Clemons will run the 200-meter and the men's 4x400-meter relay at the Bob Timmons Challenge. He is coming off a season in which he earned the honor of All-American in the 400-meter.

"Our goal for this meet is to see how we compete," Redwine said. "That's so critical for correcting things in the future. We have to learn and improve with every meet throughout the season and Friday will be a great start to that."

UFC 140 offers intriguing fight schedule
MORNING BREW
After the success of UFC 139, which featured an all-time great fight between Dan Henderson and Mauricio Rua, UFC 140 will find it difficult to live up to the hype.
The mixed martial arts event will be held on Dec. 10 in Toronto, Canada and has a very strong lineup that should definitely keep the fans entertained. The program features many talented fighters such as Mark Hominick, Brian Ebersole, Dennis Hallman and others who will be looking to get a victory and improve their status among Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters.
By Kenton Watkins
kwatkins@kansan.com
Legend Tito Ortiz will take on Rogerio Nogueira, also known as Little Nog, in a must-win fight for both brawlers. The victor will stay relevant. The loser should probably consider retirement.
Frank Mir takes on the other Nogueira brother, Antonio "Minotauro". Each athlete will look to prove that he deserves a shot at Junior Dos Santos' heavyweight
title down the line. Both men are former champions who have been fighting to return to the top of the division. Both also have black belts in Brazilian jujitsu and will work to control the other on the ground. While Nogueira is almost impossible to knockout, Mir is a better kick-boxer and should try to stay on his feet. I think Mir would win in a stand-up fight by decision. The winner will definitely be a top five contender for the Heavyweight title, while the loser may be
relegated to gatekeeper status with their title dreams permanently dashed.
The main event will be the light heavyweight championship between Jon Jones and Lyoto Machida. The fight should be a great. Jon Jones is the current champion and has looked absolutely unbeatable with victories against Mauricio Rua and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Lyoto Machida will replace the injured Rashad Evans in this fight. However, that doesn't mean he is underserved of a title shot. Machida, "The Dragon," is a former light heavyweight champion and his style allows him to compete with any fighter in the world. Jones' straightforward attacking style will be sharply contrasted by Machida's retreating, countering style. However, I think that Jones is too good and will eventually catch Machida and win a great fight by technical knockout.
KU
This should be a great show and I am looking forward to seeing if it can
continue the momentum UFC 139 started. Even if it doesn't produce as many great fights, I am sure that the fighters will try their best to not only reach the bar of UFC 139, but continue to raise it.
The matches will be available on pay-per-view television.

COMMENTARY Cutting back on turnovers
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/themattgalloway
Former Kansas basketball starters Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed weren't flashy. Neither was an offensive juggernaut, and both ranked pretty low on today's much-heralded swag scale.
ZENGER'S SEARCH FOR NEW FOOTBALL COACH CONTINUES
But what the guard duo did best might have been what they didn't do, and their departure has made that glaringly obvious. Player turnover on the Kansas roster has led to the team's biggest on-court problem: turnovers.
The Jayhawks (4-2) have committed more turnovers than their opponents in each of their past four games. And when it comes to guard play, the two players expected to shoulder the void left by Morningstar and Reed have struggled mightily out of the gate. First came the now-infamous 11 turnover game from senior guard Tyshawn Taylor against the Duke Blue Devils on Nov. 23. Taylor's biggest blunder in the 68-61 loss came with 56 seconds left and the Jayhawks down two points. His final turnover led to a dagger 3-pointer that put the game out of reach. The Jayhawks committed 17 turnovers that game, five more than the Blue Devils.
Depth is already a concern for this Kansas squad. The team cannot afford to shoot itself in the foot with careless turnovers, and it can't afford to try the same circus plays that last year's team executed so well. That day may come somewhere down the line, but until then, the team's guards need to play a more conservative and careful style of play.
More recently, junior guard Elijah Johnson joined in on the act by committing seven turnovers against lowly Florida Atlantic on Nov. 30. One errant pass, with just more than seven minutes left in the game, left coach Bill Self red in the face, and he held back no criticism after the game.
"He's still in Hawaii." Self said of Johnson. "He didn't get hungover. He got left there."
The team's other starting guard, junior Travis Releford, has played much more precisely than his peers. But he still has a high turnover game to his name, committing five in 28 minutes during a 75-65 loss to Kentucky on Nov. 15.
After all, you don't play Florida Atlantic every week.
- Edited by Lindsey Deiter
Yes, the Jayhawks out-muscled the Owls to win 77-54, but the underlying problem remained. The Jayhawks again committed 17 turnovers, this time seven more than their opponent.
Taylor and Johnson have both already surpassed the turnover highs posted by Morningstar and Reed last season. Neither starter had more than four turnovers in any single game last season, masterfully orchestrating the high-powered Kansas offense and playing within Self's system.

Junior forward Carolyn Davis receives a game ball from coach Bonnie Hendricksen before the start of Thursday night's game against SMU for becoming the 23rd Jayhawk to score 1,000 points for the women's team. Davis scored another 17 points in the Jayhawks 75-52 victory. Kansas is now 7-0 for the season.
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Tempers flared when Davis was fighting for a ball on an offensive rebound. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she had seen Davis getting hit with cheap shots after scores and had talked to officials up to five minutes before the call.
Carolyn Davis has faced foul trouble. She has faced tough opposition in the post. But tonight the game took a turn when she was charged with a technical fowl coming off a double foul.
"After the technical we knew we had to beat these people by as much as we could," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "After a technical, it gets emotional."
Sutherland did her part to make sure the Jayhawks won, scoring 14 points and pulling down six rebounds. Sutherland and Davis paced the game for the Jayhawks who struggled to find a rhythm in their 75-52 victory over Southern Methodist University.
"When something like that happens, we need to stay together as a team," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "We can't spread out and get mad, we need to stay composed and poised."
The team came out after halftime with a 10-2 run and cruised from then on, leading by double digits for the remainder of the game. The Jayhawks opened the gap with a 12-0 surge midway through the second half highlighted by fast break lays.
"To come out of the locker room and throw a punch like that is demoralizing to a team," Davis said.
Davis and Sutherland each
scored five points to spread the lead. Along with junior guard Angel Goodrich, they led Kansas each scoring in double-digits.
"The more people who contribute, the more games we win." Davis said.
"We shoot a lot of easy shots and get the ball inside the paint," Davis said. "That's just our game and that's what works for us."
The Jayhawks scored 50 of their 75 points in the paint. Davis and Sutherland finished with 17 and 14 respectively. This has been one of the consistent factors for the Jayhawks who lead the nation in field goal percentage at 50.9. They shot 56.9 percent against SMU.
SMU coach Rhonda Rompola said her team had trouble scouting and running its defense against the powerful frontcourt duo of Davis and Sutherland.
"I think Kansas has two of the best post players around," Rompola said. "When a team scores 50 points in the pain, that's a really telling stat. That's a huge difference in the game."
Next, Kansas will travel to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama at 2 p.m. on Sunday. This will be the second road game for the undefeated layhawks.
Kansas continues to struggle with turnovers, averaging 19.9 a game so far this season. They had 20 this game, the majority of which were spread between the three leaders.
"We're disappointed, I'm disappointed, they're disappointed and we have got to clean it up in a hurry because we are going to Alabama and they are going to press and trap" Henrickson said.
Goodrich said the team needs to focus on minimizing turnovers and handling ball pressure.
"Alabama is a tough team and they are aggressive," Goodrich said. "They are really quick and they are athletic, so we need to limit our turnovers and take care of the ball and do what we need to do to win."

How else the University could spend $11 million

CASH OR CREDIT?
The University of Kansas Athletics Department spent $11 million to pay off the contracts of Mark Mangino, Turner Gill and Lew Perkins since December of 2009.
In December of 2009, the University and Mark Mangino agreed to a $3 million buyout of his remaining contract following a controversy regarding how Mangino treated his players.
In September of 2010, Lew Perkins retired and Kansas Athletics picked up the $2 million tab on his retirement deal. No taxpayer or tuition dollars were used in the Perkins deal.
On Nov. 27, Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger fired Turner Gill and as a result the Athletics Department will have to pay Gill the $6 million remaining on his contract within 90 days of the firing.

Three students’ stories about discovering and learning to embrace their sexualities
CLAIRE MCINERNY
enemerny@kansan.com
He was in high school the first time he witnessed the Westboro Baptist Church protesting. The group stood outside Free State High School in Lawrence, where Cameron Case attended school. The posters and anti-gay messages troubled him. After viewing the scene, he went to the parking lot of the school, upset, talking to a friend on the phone about his disbelief.
This was the first time Case, now a junior at the University, felt hated for being gay.
For Case and at least two other students, Nick Harbert and Taylor Servner, the University and Lawrence community provide a comfortable place to come to terms with their sexuality. The acceptance and friendships gained during their college years made them more comfortable with being gay.
Growing up in Lawrence, Case never felt uncomfortable as he came to terms with his sexuality. A lot of his friends suspected it, and he always knew his parents would be accepting when he finally told them he was gay when he was 16. In junior high, other boys teased him for hanging out with only girls or for his flamboyant personality, but the tormentors made Case realize a bigger truth; some people would never accept him because of his sexual orientation.
For many like Case, coming out at a young age is becoming more and more typical. According to a Gallup poll conducted in 2010; over 50 percent of Americans feel homosexual relations are morally acceptable, and because of this growing tolerance, the average age of a gay person coming out is dramatically younger than it was just 30 years ago.

Hilary Kass, owner of Ancient Grains Bakery, tests a new recipe for biscotti in her kitchen under the Burger Stand. Like all of her products, the biscotti is gluten, dairy, and egg-free.
Gluten-free bakery grows by demand
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
As Hilary Kass dances around the kitchen beneath the Burger Stand while carrying a tray of partially baked biscotti, the faint smell of burgers is overpowered by the sweet aroma of rosemary.
The biscotti, made with amaranth flour, rosemary, and golden raisins, is a new recipe that Kass is testing for her company, Ancient Grains Bakery, which makes gluten-, dairy- and egg-free baked goods including cookies, breads and biscotti.
"It's really fun thinking that I'm making something that people I don't even know will have in their houses and enjoy," Kass said.
Her products are now sold at eight stores in Lawrence and Kansas City. In fact, 200 Ancient Grains Bakery pie crusts sold just for Thanksgiving.
Ancient Grains Bakery products sell predominately at The Merc, where Kass continues to work as a food educator and cooking teacher. Rita York Hennecke, the general manager for The Merc, said that offering local food has been one the

company's goals since it opened in 1974.
Sorghum, teff, amaranth and millet are all gluten-free whole grains that have been eaten for thousands of years in other parts of the world, but are largely disregarded in modern American cooking. Kass noticed few products incorporated the gluten-free substitutes.
"As a nutrition educator, I'm always trying to get people to eat whole grains." Kass said. "So I would show people bags of sorghum, bags of teff, bags of amaranth and millet, and they would look at me like 'What in the world is that?' and I would be like "Well, I'm not really sure.'"
This led Kass to the idea of making gluten-free food from whole grains. She also decided to make her food egg- and dairy-free to

make it accessible for people with other food allergies.
"To sell retail you have to work out of a commercial kitchen." Kass said. "It's a huge deal, because if you're small like me, it's really hard to find a way to do that."
She cooked in a commercial kitchen in the Douglas County Extension, which allowed her to sell her breads and cookies to The Merc. She also found that large chain stores were willing to give her products a chance on their shelves.
"I think it's a small percentage of people that can't eat gluten, dairy and eggs, but those people are like 'Thank you,'" Kass said.
"I was completely surprised at how open and willing retailers were to take on something and give it a try," Kass said.

But baking without key ingredients like butter and eggs can be a challenge, Kass said. She uses organic extra virgin coconut oil in place of butter, adds moisture with apple sauce, and replaces eggs with ground flax seeds mixed with water which has a gelatinous texture.
But she hasn't figured out how to make everything quite yet.
"The one place where I am really stumped is making a good, gluten- free raised bread," Kass said. "I haven't mastered that yet, and maybe I will never. I make a few things that are typical American, like pie crust and cookie dough, but the other things I'm trying to make are just naturally dense and naturally fat."
"Kass and other local food producers might be benefiting from local food becoming a burgeoning trend in recent years because of concerns about food health and

Personal records stolen from Student Housing
People broke into a Department of Student Housing office Wednesday night and stole documents containing personal information of current and former student housing residents, according to a Department of Student Housing email distributed Friday afternoon to those affected.
The email, signed by Diana Robertson, director of student housing, encouraged those affected by the theft to "be on the lookout for any possible misuse of your information."
The records stolen included names, apartment numbers, birth dates, email addresses, KUID numbers and other information about some current and former housing residents as well as information about the people they listed as dependants.

According to the email, housing realized the theft on Thursday and reported it to the KU Public Safety Office.
Hesham Al-Damen was one victim of the information theft. Al-Daman, a post doctoral student from Irbid, Jordan, said he felt worried and concerned about the situation.

"I don't feel safe," he said.
The KU Public Safety Office confirmed that there was a break-in at Corbin Hall, where the Department of Student Housing is located, on Wednesday. More information including the number of residents affected is not currently available.

FROM
STUDENT HOUSING
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
Taylor Scrivner, a junior from Hoyt, came out as a bisexual this summer. Scrivner struggled to be honest with himself and his family about his sexuality but says he is much happier now that he is out.
Accepted from the beginning
Case admitted being gay for the first time to his best friends at the age of 16. He already told one, but he wanted to come out to the rest of them. It was the weekend, they were drinking, getting ready to go to Taco Bell, and he had the courage.
He was 16.
But they already knew, and immediately supported him.
He was more nervous to tell his family. His parents don't have strong religious oppositions toward gay people, but he was nervous about what they would think. He told his mom first, then his sister. Telling his dad was the most difficult. He didn't want to disappoint him as his only son, but after coming out to his family Case found that they were all very accepting.
Coming out was a gradual process for Case. After elementary school, he found himself with fewer guy friends. He was closest with his girl friends, and around this time considered what he was feeling.
"It was more in junior high that I slowly started to realize I wasn't physically attracted to girls." Case said. "I was with them all the time and I got along with them really
well as friends. That's when it really started developing."
"I ended up having sex with a girl at the end of the summer," Case said. "I kind of think I did it to prove, do I really like this? I kind of realized I liked guys better."
The summer before Case came out to those close to him, he started talking to another guy. They became very close, and eventually hooked up. And then he questioned what he was doing.
Are you like me, or your dad?
Nick Harbert came out three times. To his mom, to his dad and to his aunt and grandmother. Harbert, a senior from Wichita, did not have to come out to a lot of people, because growing up he always had effeminate traits. A lot of people just assumed.
When Harbert was five — three years after his parents divorced — his father sat him down and revealed his homosexuality to his son.
Harbert witnessed the struggle his father endured after coming out, including falling-outs with family members. Although his father faced conflict with his family,
it paved the way for Harbert to later come out to them.
The conversation with his mom consisted of a simple question she asked him, "Are you like me, or like your dad?"
He was a junior in high school.
He was a father in high school. Despite seeing the process of coming out firsthand with his father, Harbert still struggled with accepting his sexuality.
"I went to private Catholic high school," Harbert said. "The school paid for me to go to school, so it wasn't really possible for me to come out. It brings up all the issues of they're paying my tuition and what if they find out?"
Harbert was new to Wichita at the time he was trying to keep his sexuality under wraps at school. He grew up in Johnson City, a much smaller community, and did not know many people when he started high school. Trying to come to terms with his sexuality, keep it a secret and make close relationships was a struggle. He hated high school. It was difficult for him to socialize when classmates made comments before knowing him.
When senior year arrived, Harbert was out. The attitudes of other students were the same, but how he felt about himself shifted.
"It it got better for me once I started accepting it," he said. "So people
would say something and were taken aback that I wasn't offended by it. It got easier once I was more comfortable with it."
For nine years, Taylor Scrivner wanted one thing—to not be gay.
Hiding the truth
Growing up in Hoyt with conservative family and friends, Scrivner thought being gay was the worst thing that could happen to him.
From the time he was 11 years old, Scrivner, now a junior at the University, struggled with knowing he was gay.
"I was good about lying about it," he said. "I wanted it so bad to not be true, which is not how I feel now, but at the time I wanted it so bad that it was easy to suppress."
PAGE 3A
When he was 17, Scrivener told his mom how he was feeling. She said his assessment of these feelings was incorrect and it was a phase that would pass. He became depressed. This attempt to come out to his mom reaffirmed his feelings that he had to hide the truth about being gay.
Once Scrivner got to the University, he made a lot of friends who were out and open about being gay, which caused him more pain.
"I would sometimes look at them with envy," Scrivner said. "They could be out. I wished that my friends had been different, my family had been different, that I would have had a better environment or that I would have been braver when I was younger."
Last summer, Scriver kissed a boy for the first time. It felt right and he realized it was the right time for him to come out. He told his close friends first, and after getting their support, got the courage to go home and come out to his family. Coming out to his mom again was difficult, and she continues to struggle with it but is trying to accept that her son is gay. Scriver thinks she is doing a good job.
This semester, Scrivener's life completely changed. The friendships and relationships in his life improved because he feels he is not lying anymore. Scrivner is bisexual, and he finds people have a hard time grasping what that means. For him, being bisexual means he is open to an emotional or physical relationship with either sex.
Finally accepting his feelings and not hiding a part of himself was a struggle, but one Scriner said was one of the best things to happen to him.
"It's not a choice you can make, unfortunately," Scrivner said. "Now that I'm out though, I don't think that I would choose not to be. I'm so much happier and it's a great life."
The study of coming out
W When teaching about coming out in his classes, Milton Wendland, a visiting assistant professor in the department of women, gender
and sexuality studies, tries to make sure all of his students can relate to the process. Coming out is not just for gay people, he said.
but happens when
anyone reveals a part of themselves are afraid won't be accepted by
Wendland
others
"If you're a staunch Republican and your family is Democrat, at some point you have to come out and that can be sort of a serious thing for you," Wendland said. "Or if your family's entire fortune is in the broccoli industry and you destest broccoli, that's a sort of coming out."
wendland teaches courses on LGBT culture and strives to make sure his students take away something they can use every day. A major point Wendland stresses about the coming out process is that it happens throughout a person's life.
Wendland said every time a gay person has to explain to a school-teacher, a veterinarian or a landlord who a partner is, it's a coming out process.
"It forces you to constantly reveal that part of you," Wendland said. "Where other people will often get to coast on assumptions. In that way it makes it more real to people because it's not just this horrible conversation you have with your parents and then that's the end of it. It goes on and on and on."
Wendland's own coming out process is not over. Twenty years ago, he told his parents he is gay and they asked him not to tell anyone else in his small town. Since then, the subject never came up again. His parents do not know about his job, what he teaches and that so much of his life is devoted to the LGBT community. Recently, the circumstances changed and he knows he needs to talk with them again.
He is in a serious relationship now. He and his partner adopted a dog together. And now Wendland wants his parents to know about their relationship.
"That's a good example of how with coming out you can't do it on someone else's schedule." Wendland said. "It has to be according to your family situations or your economic circumstances."

Carey Mulligan to star in Gatsby remake
THE NEXT PANEL
Conceptis SudoKu
LOS ANGELES — Carey Mulligan has two buzzy films this fall in "Drive" and "Shame." But she's currently taking on a project that has its own share of conversation, some of the polarizing sort, for the 2012 holiday season. The British actress is shooting "The Great Gatsby" as imagined by Baz Luhrmann.
SUDOKU
Mulligan, who plays the iconic Daisy Buchanan in the film, said she feels her own pressure to perform.
Yes, that Baz Luhrmann, who modernized "Romeo and Juliet" and brought flash to period Paris in "Moulin Rouge" — and who will have all eyes on him as he brings his sensibility to the Fitzgerald classic.
"It's very nerve-racking," the actress said by phone from Australia, where she is shooting the movie. "I know how much the book means, especially in America.

Twilight scene causes seizures
BALTIMORE — Shaking, sweating and swooning are par for the course among the passionate young fans of the "Twilight" series. But reports that a scene in "Breaking Dawn" has been sparking seizures in theaters nationwide has epilepsy experts on the alert and parents thinking twice about letting their kids see the movie.
Officials at the Maryland-based Epilepsy Foundation issued a warning this week to their nearly 11,000 followers on Facebook, saying people prone to certain types of seizures might want to skip the film, which has been the top-grossing movie in the country for two weeks straight.
"If you were parents of a child with epilepsy, you would not send your child to the movie," says Mimi Carter, the foundation's director of communications. "Why would you risk it?"
There have been at least nine reported instances of people suffering seizures during "Breaking Dawn," the latest installment in the teen vampire series. The trigger seems to be a particularly intense birth scene that involves a strobe effect with flashes of red, white and black light.
remembered nothing of the attack, but his girlfriend, Kelly Bauman, told reporters, "He scared me big time."
In another instance, a woman who took her daughters to see the movie in Oregon starting feeling "strange" during the birth scene.
I " (s)started feeling sick to my stomach, like I was going to be sick." Tina Goss told television station KATU in Portland. "Really hot, really sweaty, like on the verge of vomiting."
Goss told reporters she wasn't coherent again until arriving at a hospital. "My hands were completely blue for like two to three hours," she said. "The next day, I was so lethargic I felt like I'd, you know, like ran eight marathons."
Other instances have been reported in Maine, Utah, Massachusetts and Canada.
Many more people say they have gotten sick during the movie — for reasons that have nothing to do with epilepsy. On Twitter, for instance, dozens of teens say they have queted and even vomited or fainted during the movie's griller interludes, which include a fair amount of blood and gore.
A retired physician in California, Zach Pine, began documenting cases on a website after his 18-year-old son, who had never had a seizure, suffered one during the movie. He lists nine reported instances on his Google page.
People susceptible to this sort of attack suffer from what's known as photosensitivity, a stimulus-induced seizure disorder.
While epilepsy is relatively uncommon in the population about 3 million Americans have it photosensitivity is even rarer, occurring in just 3 percent of those with epilepsy.

In 2007, the University's Student Senate initiated the late-night transportation program, SafeBus. In its fifth year of existence, ridership has exploded and the program has become an integral contributor to student nightlife activity.
Furthermore, SafeBus has come to serve as an efficient and, most important of all, safe way for students to move about Lawrence to and from their homes as an alternative to other methods of passage, including drunk driving.
Safebus provides unique service for students

SafeBus is truly a fantastic program because it offers students a release from these dilemmas. The University, as well as the city, should be very encouraged to see the growing use of a safe alternative to drunk driving, and should

Embracing idiosyncrasies forms individuals
CULTURE
I hate listening to the radio. If you were to ride with me in a car to any location, you would notice that I have a certain CD playing in my car at all times and this CD definitely gets over-played. Sometimes I wonder if those who ride with me frequently get tired of hearing the same music over and over again, but more often than not, I'm too happy listening to music I'll probably always be addicted to over some randomized collection of tunes that I can't control.
This is one of my many idiosyncrasies. While some may see these as annoying habits that should be fixed, I see them as essential parts of my personality that delineate me from everyone else. I don't know of many other people who enjoy sending

Post-Modernist thought in today's era celebrates individuality and disassociates from hard-edged classifications between extremes like "gay" or "straight" and "male" or "female." In a similar vein, I dislike when someone is stereotyped based on their outward appearance, mannerisms or by a group or organization they have identified with. Always wanting to come to a definitive conclusion in terms of someone's personality is natural, but we should stop ourselves from assuming so much. Things are never as they seem.
Whatever your viewpoints on the hot topics of today's world, we all have a certain mix of them that arises in our words and actions around others. Some of us become involved in politics or activism to bring about change. Some of us don't concern ourselves without being outwardly influential. Some of us engage our creative minds artistically. Some of us pursue careers in the athletics.
mind today reflects that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Obviously, most of us hate being stereotyped, but we still are unconscious participants in the process. I have to stop myself whenever I see a smoker stepping out for a cigarette and automatically assuming that there is something inherently wrong with their willpower or outlook that they have become addicted. Everyone's life experiences are unique and their state of

Never be afraid to celebrate your individuality. Your habits, outlooks, perspectives, and desires (both conscious and unconscious) are rolled up in your individuality and are the building blocks to your personality. Juxtaposing my addictions to black coffee, foreign foods, colorful rooms, poetry writing, museum perusing and being outdoors may be strange to some, but we all have these idiiosyncrasies that combine together to form the essential "you." Believe in that "you"
It is difficult to reach extremes in reality. You probably have a friend who is extremely outgoing, and probably another friend who is normally quiet as a mouse, but you'll find that they aren't at either extreme 100

Revenge is sweet, when justifiable
By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com
If you have a long dating history, you most likely have at least some baggage. It can really jade us. But what happens when we take that baggage and use revenge to cope? Is it always juvenile, or can we justify it?
"Revenge" has such a negative connotation. But when it fits the crime, it isn't always so childish. It's just another social action.
And I would know. Within only the last two years, I've seen both sides of it. For example, in 2009, a bitter ex revealed to a new guy I was casually seeing that he and I hooked up earlier that month. But the new guy and I weren't exclusive, so my ex's act was in vain.
Then I took revenge into my own hands this year over Spring Break when I accidently told a guy I was home in Wichita, and he wasted no time in telling me he had just bought a new truck and suggested we go out to the country some night and hook up.
I imagined how disappointing the sex would have been, so I passed.
I rejected him several times, but even though he knew we were both in relationships, he kept going.
"My girlfriend won't mind," he told me. "She doesn't have to know."
After that moment, I decided to tell his girlfriend everything he said. I even included a screen shot of the conversation at the point where he said she wouldn't care if he cheated.
He said she wouldn't mind.
I felt bad for his girlfriend but good about myself. I loved the satisfaction I felt for sticking
up for myself after years of his behavior.
The important thing to note is that by no means did I violate his rights through my actions. And when we maintain that standard, there's nothing wrong with taking out revenge when it's due.
Despite it all, they're still dating today. But wreaking havoc on their relationship wasn't my goal. I just wanted to show him I won't tolerate his behavior.
In fact, professor of psychology Chris Crandall said, "Retaliation is an important part of maintaining cooperation — people who cheat, defect, or compete when they should cooperate need to be punished, or bad behavior will run rampant. The key thing is that the "punishment" be proportional to the crime."
Though we often condemn revenge, I'm happy I did it because I got what I wanted out of it: he hasn't talked to me since.
So with that both the guy from home and I exhibited behavior that the avenger thought was inappropriate, and those acts of revenge were just reactions to it.
Thus I can justify my act of revenge. And I hate to say it, but so can my ex.
Finally we must change the way we perceive revenge. We shouldn't think of it as juvenile and unjustifiable. Sometimes it's the best way to express ourselves. And when I carried it out nine months ago, I wasn't sorry.
And that wasn't juvenile.
It was fearless.
And I don't regret anything.

Former solider receives probation for robbery
RACHEL SALYER
editor@kansan.com
A former Fort Leavenworth soldier charged in the June robbery of two University students received probation and will pay restitution to the victims after his sentencing in Douglas County District Court Friday.
Brandon Huggins, 23, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of misdemeanor theft and received 12 months probation, minus the three days and six hours jail time he had already served. The court also ordered Huggins to pay $30 in restitution to each of the victims.
In the early morning hours of June 23, Huggins and another suspect, 21-year-old Michael Gerald, were arrested minutes after the armed robbery of two students. The two victims were held at gunpoint, told to take off their pants, and then robbed of their wallets, cash and a cell phone on Memorial Drive, west of the Campanile.
Huggins pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft after the victims could not positively identify him,
Douglas County prosecutors charged both suspects with two cases of aggravated robbery, aggravated intimidation of a witness and conspiracy to commit robbery. Gerald pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and was sentenced to 49 months in prison in October.
but he admitted to using the victims' stolen cash to purchase ciga rettes.
A bag containing marijuana was originally seized from the suspects, but prosecutors filed no charges in connection with drugs.
As part of Huggins' probation he will not be allowed to leave the state, or greater Kansas City area, for more than 24 hours without the written consent of his probation officer. Huggins must also submit to random drug testing.
Huggins was eventually dismissed from the army following the original charges, but may be able to return with only a misdemeanor charge.
Huggins made no comments during his sentencing, but his attorney, Sarah Swane, said she does not believe her client has particularly good feelings toward the military after he was stripped of his privileges and not allowed to leave base after the charges were made.
COUNTY LAW CENTER STREET
DOUSLAK COUNTY JUDICIAL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER
Swane also said that the charges have taken a serious toll on Huggins' life, but that he is currently working and hopes to move on after his probation.
Huggins has family in North Carolina. Swane told the judge he may ask for permission to move there during the course of his probation and report in by mail.
Brandon Huggins, 23, returns to Douglas County District Court, Tuesday morning after being charged with aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and aggra vated intimidation of a witness following the mugging of two University students on campus on June 23. Proceedings will continue at a later date.

FOODS FROM PAGE 1
safety, as well as the environment, Hennecke said.In recent years, food health and safety issues as well as increasing concerns about protecting the environment have made buying locally made a burgeoning trend, Hennecke said.
"People are wanting to deepen their relationship with where their food comes from," she said. "And they're better understanding that there is a strong correlation between what you eat and what you are."
Depending on local food producers can be a problem for a store; the quantity of food they can make is not always enough to feed a local
population, and not all food items are available through local producers. They might end up with five local hummus producers without having any locally made yogurt, said Hennecke. But the challenges haven't stopped The Merc from highlighting local products.
"We purchased over $1 million in local products last year," Hennecke said. "That's money going directly into the hands of local producers. There's a lot of economic benefit and traceability."
Nolan Kappelman, vice-president of KU Student Farm, agrees that local food production plays an important role in local economies. KU Student Farms works to educate students, staff, faculty and community members about growing their own food and the importance role local food plays in the community.
Kappelman said for every dollar you spend on local products, $2.50 gets pumped back into the local economy. But local producers effect their communities in another, more profound way.
"It's just the value of food in our society is lost," Kappelman said. "We don't really understand the true value of food and how much work goes into making food. And that's something that local food opens people up to — the actual value of food."

Four killed in crash of small plane in Colorado
SILVERTON, Colo. — All four people aboard a small plane were killed when it crashed in the southwest Colorado mountains, authorities said Sunday.
The single-engine plane was flying from Durango to Aspen when it crashed Saturday afternoon. Local officials say the crash site was about 1½ miles north of Silverton.
None of the victims' names have been released, and the cause of the crash was unknown. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
The Socata TB-21 left Durango at
about 1:30 p.m. Saturday. About 40 minutes later its emergency beacon signal was detected near Silverton, The Denver Post reported.
Bad weather cut short the search on Saturday. Temperatures in Silverton dipped to 4 degrees between Saturday night and Sunday morning, and 8 to 10 inches of snow had fallen at the scene after the crash, San Juan County Emergency Manager Kristina Maxfield said.
The plane crashed in a rugged, heavily forested area up to 11,000 feet above sea level, Maxfield told The Associated Press.
Maxfield said a search team reached the crash site Sunday and found two
bodies, which were being carried to waiting vehicles. She and Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Mike Fergus both confirmed to the AP that there were no survivors.
Neither elaborated on how they knew the other two people were dead, but Fergus said the debris field covered 1/4 miles.
It was unclear how long the search for the other victims would continue Sunday because snowfall had resumed and visibility was worsening, Maxfield said.

KU Young Democrats to attend speech
I will do everything I can to make sure the people in this room are happy.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
President Barack Obama smiles as he talks with employees of Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City, Mo. last July. The president toured the facility which produces commercial electric vehicles. Members of the KU Young Democrats plan to attend Obama's speech in Osawatomie on Tuesday.
IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
KU Young Democrats has a new president and is now reorganizing for the 2012 elections. Members of the group will travel to Osasatonie for President Obama's visit Tuesday. According to Evan Gates, the campus democrats' new president, the trip will be the first event they have attended as a group in years.
President Obama will speak at Osawatomie High School at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Lines of people formed early Saturday evening for tickets being handed out at noon Sunday, according to the Associated Press. Osawatomie is historically significant for presidential speeches. Republican President Theodore Roosevelt spoke there in 1910, a year after he left the presidency, calling for a "new Nationalism."
Gates, a junior from Wichita, took over as president of the young democrats about one month ago. She said the group's membership declined after the 2008 elections, when the group counted more than 50 members. There are about 10 regular members that compose the group today.
KU Young Democrats is organizing meetings in the coming weeks in an effort to attract more students and they hope to be active in the 2012 elections. Gates said the challenges of organizing democrats in Kansas — a state dominated by a republican electorate in recent years — were serious, but that the Lawrence campus afforded the group an opportunity to make a difference.
"Lawrence is really the only blue dot in this red state," Gates said. "But that doesn't mean we can't be a powerful voice and challenge republican candidates."
Gates said that organizing students on campus could have ripple effects beyond Kansas in the future. As students get involved in politics on campus, they will take.
that experience with them as they graduate and move elsewhere.
Gates will be one of at least five campus democrats to attend the event. Gates said she expects President Obama to talk about
the economy, and hopes he will discuss his jobs plan and efforts to extend a two percent reduction in the payroll tax for all Americans.
"That applies to students."
Gates said. "Because it applies to you whether you make $2,000 a year or $200,000."
KU Young Democrats held its first meeting since the reorganization on Nov.29. They are planning an informal gathering, open to all, for Dec. 11, but have not chosen a location yet, Gates said.

COMMENTARY
Coaches sitting in hot seat
Mike Lavieri
mlavieri@kansan.com
With athletics director Sheahon Zenger in the midst of searching for Turner Gill's replacement, there are other coaches that he should consider finding replacements for too.
There are three coaches that I think are on the hot seat, but I don't know if Zenger will pull the trigger given the amount of money tied up in the Gill buyout. Soccer coach Mark Francis, volleyball coach Ray Bechard and women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson may also be shown to the door.
MARK FRANCIS
Francis just completed his 13th season as soccer coach for Kansas, guiding the lajahwks to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008 and their fifth overall. While getting to the tournament should protect a coach, it may not this time around.
Kansas played seven teams that made the NCAA Tournament; four of them were from the Big 12. Kansas compiled a 2-5 record with victories against Texas and San Diego. Add in a 7-2 thrashing from Florida and those numbers should concern Zenger. The soccer team isn't competing with better teams in the nation.
From 2009 to 2011, the soccer team is 29-30-3 overall and 8-20 in conference play.
Verdict: The Tournament berth might keep him in the safe zone this year.
RAY BECHARD
Bechard finished his 14th season as volleyball coach after posting a 15-14 record overall and 3-13 in conference play. Last season, Kansas went 9-2 in non conference play and went 8-2 in non conference play in 2009.
He is the only coach in program history to lead the volleyball team to the NCAA tournament, which he did three straight times from 2003 to 2005, but he hasn't been back since then. The Jayhawks always look promising before Big 12 play starts, but then the wheels fall off.
BONNIE HENRICKSON
Verdict: Zenger should look for another option.
Henrickson is in her eight season as coach of the Jayhawks. When she arrived in 2004, Kansas was coming off its fourth straight losing season.
The Jayhawks haven't been to the NCAA Tournament since 2000, but have gone to NIT the previous four seasons with an appearance in the finals in 2009. Under Henrickson, Kansas has never finished Big 12 play above .500. Its best season has been 6-10, which it did twice, in 2009 and 2011.
Despite getting a three-year extension, which runs through the 2013-14 season, this is a big year for Henrickson.
Verdict: If Kansas doesn't make the NCAA Tournament and finish better than 9-9 in conference play, Zenger will' have a reason to look for a new women's basketball coach.

SICK WITH THE 'CRUD'
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
There's a sickness going around that drained the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse on a misty Saturday afternoon.
"We've all got the drud" coach Bill Self said after the 70-42 victory over the University of South Florida. "I don't know if you guys know, the drud's soing around."
The Jayhawks were sapped of energy in the first half, then revitalized by senior guard Tyshawn Taylor's 20 points in the second
half.
"I think there's a little bug going around," junior forward Kevin Young said. "When I went to the store last night I got the NyQuil."
Young, who may be feeling the crud, said junior guard Travis Reifer and freshmen guards Naadir Tharpe and Merv Lindsay were throwing up recently. Junior forward Thomas Robinson said that he has been under the weather the past couple of days. Robinson finished with 14 points and 8 rebounds but snapped his double-double streak of six
games. Self said several players and a coach have missed practice and visited Watkins Memorial Health Center for head colds and other symptoms.
Whether it was sickness or poor shooting that impeded Kansas early, Taylor's ensuing dominance broke the game open. He hit four of six 3-point shots, cueing the turnaround and extending the lead for the lavihawks.
"Those 3-pointers were big for us to take the lid off the goal," Tavlor said.
Junior guard Elijah Johnson
missed seven of eight shots in 20 minutes and watched from the sideline as senior guard Conner Teahan stepped into his place and scored 11 points in 25 minutes.
"He automatically becomes deflated very fast," Self said of Johnson. "He's not impacting the game in any way when things don't go well early."
The division of minutes may derive from Self's need for Teacha's scoring, or act as a way to inspire lohnson.
never found a rhythm offensively. Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey protected the interior as South Florida converted just 32.6 percent of their shots.
The consistent defense paired with Taylor's scoring helped the Jayhawks get past Saturday's mess struck by the crud.
"Our sickness had a little bit something to do with it." Self said. "I don't think guys were all there emotionally."

How will the Big 12's new mascots fit in?
MORNING BREW
As the dust has mostly settled on conference realignment in the Big 12, nearly every angle of the different schools' moves have been beaten to death — athletics, academics, economics, etc.
By Joel Petterson
jpetterson@kansan.com
However, an incredibly important consequence of realignment has been largely and irresponsibly ignored: the issue of mascot environment.
We all know how comfortably or awkwardly TCU and West Virginia's sports programs or fans might fit in with other Big 12 schools, as well as what the conference has lost or gained by Missouri and Texas A&M's departure.
But what about the furry/bearded/bumpy/ terrifying mascots that symbolize everything that the school stands for? Are they a good fit for the Big 12?
First of all, West Virginia brings a very peculiar mascot to the Big 12 with the Mountaineer. With the departure of Colorado, the only Big 12 member situated anywhere close to a mountain range, does the Mountaineer have any place in this conference?
Probably not, but dollars drive realignment,
not mascot comfort, so both the Mountaineer
and his new Big 12 companions will have to adjust.
It seems very likely that the Mountaineer will find himself completely out of sorts in the flatlands of the Midwest, especially with the equipment he must carry around. His large wooden rifle will be no match for Pistol Pete's fast draw, and it'll be a miracle if he can survive the heat of football season in Texas with that thick furry racoon-skin hat and bushy beard he has.
If West Virginia wants any chance of being taken seriously in the Big 12, the Mountaineer will have to carefully consider a wardrobe
more suited for prairies than the highlands of the Big East.
On the other hand, it's doubtful that any mascot will have better home field advantage than the Mountaineer. Yes, Colorado had the advantage of high elevation, but Ralphie the Buffalo wasn't nearly nimble enough to take advantage of the terrain. Texas' lethargic longhorn was probably just as suited for the landscape.
The Mountaineer, on the other hand, will completely outmatch mascots like Iowa State's Cyclone or Oklahoma's wagon-bound Sooner in the highlands. Bruiser the Bear from Baylor may be the only mascot suited to take on the Mountaineer.
KU
TCU, on the other hand, brings a much bizarre mascot with the Horned Frog, technically named SuperFrog. Imaginative name aside, a quick Google search reveals that the first problem with SuperFrog is that he actually a horned lizard, and not a frog at all. Horned frogs actually live in South America and Asia — nowhere close to Texas.
And while the symbol of a small, quirky reptile that can shoot blood out of its eyes may fit TCU's former status as a powerful
football school in an insignificant conference, it may find itself outmatched facing hardened big-time mascots like Big Jay and Texas Tech's Red Raider.
It's probably a safe bet, however, that Willie the Wildcat will lose his head (which constitutes all of his mascot-ness) move SuperFrog ever pull his blood-squirting move.

Kansas City ends four-game losing streak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Jay Cutler was lost two weeks ago after breaking his thumb. On Sunday, the Chicago Bears watched with a sickening feeling as star running back Matt Forte walked gingerly into the tunnel with a knee injury in the first quarter.
So, what else can happen to a team still clinging to its playoff hopes?
"It's not a running back. It's Matt Forte," star linebacker Brian Urlacher said after 10-3 loss to Kansas City.
Nothing went well for the Bears during the dismal home-field performance.
Without Cutler and then for most of the day Sunday without Forte, who has a sprained right knee, the offense for the Bears (7-5) really began to wobble. And the result was sort of ugly.
The Bears' only points came on a 32-yard by Gould — after an
illegal formation call on Chicago wiped out a TD pass from backup quarterback Caleb Hanie to Marion Barber.
In the fourth quarter, Hanie found the range on four straight completions and it appeared the Bears were finally on their way to a touchdown.
But Hanie's very catchable pass to Roy Williams in traffic went off the receiver's hands, hit a Chiefs defender and Kansas City's Jon McGraw picked it off in the end zone.
"Don't blame one guy for this loss," Bearss coach Lovie Smith said. "We had a big say in what happened today. ... Caleb was part of it. Caleb needs to make improvements like we all do and we all will."
Chicago's defense gave up the game's lone TD on a pass from Tyler Palko to Dexter McCluster on the final play of the first half.
Both Urlacher and safety Chris Conte went up to bat the ball down, but instead knocked it right to McCluster.
"We knocked it down. Chris and I, we both hit it. I don't know if it went straight or it went backward. I guess I should have caught it or tried to, but it's just not what we do. We've never done that. So I just try to knock it down."
The Chiefs (5-7) ended their four-game losing streak. Who knows if the quarterback debate is over.
Kansas City got a 21-yard field goal from Ryan Succop in the third quarter to make it a seven-point game. And Justin Houston had three sacks for a K.C. defense that hounded Hanie most of the day.
BRIGGS 47
Forte, third in the NFL in rushing entering the game, took a hit to the right knee from Derrick Johnson on a run for no gain deep in Chicago territory with 6 minutes left in the first period.
"It's not a good feeling when you see your star tailback go down with a knee injury," Smith said. "Part of the game. We'll just keep our fingers crossed and hopefully it's not that serious."

Team sees personal bests, school record at MU
NATHAN FORDYCE

Sophomore Morgan Sharp swims to victory in the 500 yard freestyle race during the Nov. 11 meet held at the Robinson Natatorium. Sharp continued her dominance in the event this weekend at the Missouri Invite when again she placed first with a time of 4:48.01 which set a Jayhawk school record.
The three-day Mizzou Invite concluded with the Jayhawk swimmers and divers taking third place as a team. Along with that, the individuals sped toward personal best records to cap the event.
Kansas swimmers and divers finished the Mizzou Invite with 604 points combined, finishing behind only Boise State (819 points) and host Missouri (999 points).
Sharp wasn't out looking to break any records but she felt good during the race and went after it.
The Jayhawks rode a school record breaking performance by sophomore Morgan Sharp in the 500 freestyle on Thursday. Sharp swam a 4:48.01 time as she surpassed the old record of 4:48.77, that was previously set by Gina Gnatzig in 2006, and won the event.
"I wasn't looking to break it at this meet, or any time. I wasn't thinking about it. But I felt good during my race and I just went for," Sharp said. "I hit the wall and saw my time, then Clark told me I got it. It still hasn't hit me that I broke it."
Coach Clark Campbell was surprised by the record falling, especially this early in the season.
"It doesn't happen too often to have a record fall this early in the season, but Morgan just did an awesome job," Campbell said in a press release. "We have been working with her and tweaked her stroke a bit and she has taken to it really well."
Sharp's teammates weren't going to be overshadowed as five of them set personal best performances in the pool on the opening day. Senior Sarah Hettenbach set her personal best in the 50-yard freestyle, 24.28. While her fellow senior teammate, Abigail Anderson reached her fastest time in the 100 butterfly, 53.39. Freshman Caroline Patterson, sophomore Alison Moffit and junior Svetlana Golovchun also set personal best records. Patterson finished with a time of 2:08.66 time in the 200 IM. Moffit, a sophomore, got her new mark in the 100 butterly, with a 4:56.24 and a tenth place.
finish in the finals of the 500 freestyle. The junior transfer Golovchun continues her strong performances, as she set her mark in the 50 free with a 23.06 time.
Sharp and senior captain Stephanie Payne said hard work the reason why the number of personal best records were set.
"Hard work, training and lifting and along with having fast swimmers there, we had to be at our best," Payne said.
On the opening day, the Jayhawks came out strong with 120 team points and used it to push the momentum through the next two days of competition. Payne had the only
first place finish on Friday as she won the 400 individual medley with a time of 4:18.44.
"I thought today was a tale of two sessions," Campbell said in a Friday release. "The first session we swam really well off the momentum we created on Thursday, but tonight's final session I feel we took a step back."
Brittany Rospierski, junior, had a strong outing on Friday in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1.03.97.
Sharp followed up her record breaking Thursday performance with an 11th place finish in the 200 freestyle.
On the final day of the invitational, finished on a high note as they six top five places, with the relay team finishing in third place.
Brooke Brull, junior, highlighted the Saturday showing by placing first in the 200 backstroke in a time of 1:59.49. Freshman teammate Deanna Marks had a sensational showing as she finished seventh in the 200 backstroke (2:02.60) and a fourth place finish in the 200 butterfly (2:02.69).
Christy Cash, a junior diver, also had a good last day as she compiled a third place finish in the platform dive with a score of 216.30.
Anderson had another good outing as she recorded a third place finish in 200 backstroke (1:59.89). Golovchun also continued to swim hard as she took fifth in the 100 freestyle (50.45). The relay team of Golovchun, Anderson, Brull and Sharp finished third as the invitational wound to a close.
"It seems like everybody on the team is walking away from this weekend with at least a couple swims that they are going to be really happy with," Campbell said.
Not only are the swimmer and divers walking away with many personal bests, but as a team they are
in better condition than they were a year ago.
"After this weekend, we're at a better spot than we were last year at the Georgia Invitational," Payne said. "With more rest, it'll set us up for the Big 12 and the end of February."
The layhawks will have some time to get healthy as they wait until the new year to see the pool again as they travel to the warm weather of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico for a weeklong training trip.

MEN'S BASKET Taylor takes the lead in offense
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self has harped on better guard play for much of this seven-game season. Excluding senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor, no returning guard averages than 14 minutes per game in a season. Fellow starters, junior guards Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford, as well as reserve 3-point specialist Conner Teahan, have played fewer minutes in Kansas uniform than Taylor. With that experience advantage over his teammates, it's understandable when Taylor takes the Jayhawk offense into his own hands, much like he did in
"He was the best player in the second half," Self said, "I hate that we're relying on him to score that much, but when you're shooting the ball like he did tonight, that was a big positive for us."
He had 20 second-half points to help Kansas pull away from a pesky South Florida team that was within three points at the break.
the second half in the 70-42 victory against South Florida Saturday afternoon.
"No, I wasn't paying attention to it. It wasn't even my focus," he said, all kidding aside. But he found room for one more joke regarding the fast break. "I saw that he only had eight or nine points or something like that, so I just gave it up," he said.
Taylor finished with 24 points, two shy of his career high. He passed up the chance to do that on a breakaway, instead shoveling the ball off to junior forward Thomas Robinson for
Taylor's offensive explosion seemed to mask an unflattering performance from Johnson, who was I for 8 from behind the 3-point line and finished with five points.
a dunk. He jokingly said that he just would have tied his career-high, so it was okay.
"It looks to me that with Elijah, he has good intentions to play well." Self said. "And when he doesn't play
well he automatically becomes deflated fast, which is really a sign."
Self added that Taylor is too go of a player for those kind of performances and the poor shooting is the main reason for the sometim slugish outputs.
"If your whole game is based playing well if you make shots, then you're probably not a complete pler." Self said. "He is a complete pler. He can do a lot of things, and he not impacting the game in any when things don't go well early."

Senior guard Tvshawn Taylor jumps towards the basket for a lavup against the South Florida Bulls. Taylor ended the night with two rebounds and one steal.
Game to remember
Taylor still had five turnovers, but his season high 24 points bailed out an average effort from the rest of the offense. Coach Bill Self wants Taylor to become more of a distributor and his first half was slow like the rest of the Jayhawks, but it's hard to complain with the second-half turnaround. Taylor's long summer of shooting sculpted him into one of the team's best from deep. Now he just needs to maintain the pace.

CITY OF MONTANA
Johnson finds himself in this spot for two consecutive games. Senior guard Conner Teahan came off the bench and played most of the second half in Johnson's place. After zero points and seven turnovers against Florida Atlantic University, Johnson missed seven of nine from the field and, according to Self, failed to keep focus in the game. Johnson hasn't played at his best when the rest of the team is struggling, helping contribute to several scoring droughts.

Sophomore guard Keena Mays goes in for a layup against Alabama on Sunday. Mays led the team with a career-high 21 points. Kansas lost to Alabama, 80-76.
Four clutch 3-pointers from sophomore guard Keena Mays kept the Jayhawks close, but it was still not enough to rally a victory as Kansas lost 80-76 to Alabama on the road.

Mays hit her final three with just nine second left in the game to bring the Jayhawks within two
points. She finished with a careerhigh 21 points highlighted by 4 of 6 shoots from beyond the arc.
"That's where she is a playmaker," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Mays hit the game-winning shot against Wake Forest on their first road test.
"I know my team especially needs me on away games," Mays said. "It feels good."
Mays played with a shooting sleeve after hyper-extending her elbow a week ago against Florida Atlantic in the final day of the Basketball Travelers Classic.
Alabama's Meghan Perkins hit two free throws to seal the game. Both teams had uncharacteristic days from the line. Alabama shot 75 percent from the line after shooting 60 percent in their first eight games.

Below average free-throw shooting hurt the Jayhawks, as they shot only 47.1 percent. They were 8 of 17 despite shooting 72 percent for the season before this game.
"We were just a bad free-throw shooting team today," Mays said.
Kansas had the opportunity for 13 free throws in the second half, but was only able to convert six.
"We were kind of kicking ourselves for that," Davis said. "We were looking at all the different things that were key to us not being able to pull a win out. That was one of them."
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland carried the Jayhawks early scoring the first six points of the game. She finished with 15 points.
Kansas scoring was balanced between the guards and forward, as Mays and junior forward Carolyn Davis each contributed 21 to lead their contingents. Davis tied her season-high after shooting 9 of 15 from the field.
Kansas has relied on the post for scoring for much of the year, centered on Davis who was recently named to the Wooden Award Early Season Watch List.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich helped pace the Jayhawks with 12 assists and nine rebounds as she played all 40 minutes for Kansas. This was her third game of the season with double digit assists. Goodrich also drew three charges.
The Jayhawks scored 38 points in the paint, but struggled to defend the Crimson Tide as they scored 48. Kansas also lost the rebounding battle on both ends and finished with 35 compared to 42 from Alabama.
"Early on it was a lot of pressure," Davis said. "They were in a power post defense. It was hard to get the ball inside, but it started to wear down and they were able to get it into me."
Kansas
The Jayhawks will take a day off and return to practice on Tuesday. Kansas suffered its first loss of the season and will look to recover when they host Wisconsin at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
Kansas started the game with turnovers on the first two possessions. Turnovers continued to cause a problem for the Jayhawks who tallied 11 in the first half. They finished the game with 16 turnovers.
"She is the littlest guy on the court in the middle of the lane mixing it up with everybody," Henrickson said. "Her toughness today was off the charts."

All season the Wildcats relied on their defense to win games. After a 26-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back John Hubert gave the Wildcats a seven-point lead with 3:29 left, the Wildcats would once again count on a defensive stop to give them a victory. The defense came through, forcing a fumble on fourth and two as the Wildcats won their 10th game of the season. Junior quarterback Collin Klein threw for 158 yards and one touchdown on the day, but he completed only seven of his 15 passes, with the bulk of his yards coming on a 68-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.

The Longhorn offense could not keep up with the Baylor onslaught led by junior quarterback Robert Griffin III and senior running back Terrance Ganaway. Griffin threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns and Ganaway ran for 152 yards and two more scores. Longhorn sophomore quarterback Case McCoy entered the game without having thrown an interception all season, but he came out and threw four on the day. The Longhorns finished the game with six turnovers, compared to just one for the Bears, as they went on to lose their fifth game in Big 12 play.

For the first time since 2002, Oklahoma State defeated in-state rival Oklahoma. The victory also gave the Cowboys their first Big 12 championship since the conference formed in 1996. The Cowboys jumped out to a 24-0 lead before freshman kicker Michael Hunnicutt put the Sooners on the board with a 48-yard field goal. Sophomore running back Joseph Randle ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns, sophomore running back Jeremy Smith added 119 yards and two more touchdowns as the Cowboys made their case to be included in the BCS championship game.

Oklahoma State makes its case to play in BCS championship
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. — Mike Gundy didn't feel comfortable campaigning for No. 3 Oklahoma State to play for the national title until his Cowboys had at least won a conference crown.
His team made a better case than anything he could have ever said.
Joseph Randle ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns, Ricetti Jones returned a fumble for a score and No. 3 Oklahoma State throttled No. 13 Oklahoma 44-10 Saturday night to win the Big 12 championship and make its case to play for the BCS national title.
"I don't think there's any question Oklahoma State should play in the big game," Gundy said.
The Cowboys (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) snapped an eight-game losing streak in the Bedlam rivalry and won their first outright conference title since 1948 in the three-team Missouri Valley.
Oklahoma State's defense, badmouthed much of the season while giving up big yardage but leading the nation in takeaways, forced the Sooners (9-3, 6-3) into five turnovers — four of them by quarterback Landry Jones.
Fans started chanting "L-S-U!" midway through the fourth quarter
with the victory well in hand, then stormed the field and tore down the goal posts when it was over.
The top-ranked Tigers could be next up for the Pokes, but only with a boost in the BCS standings due out Sundav night.
"If that's the way it works out, absolutely. We took care of what we could take care of," quarterback Brandon Weeden said. "We had to worry about us and control what we could control, and if we were able to do that, we were conference champs."
While the top-ranked Tigers won the SEC championship Saturday to lock up a spot in the BCS title game,
No. 2 Alabama sat at home idle after finishing second in its division. Oklahoma State, meanwhile, proved itself the best team in its state and its conference. But it's up to the voters, who had the Cowboys fifth in the coaches' poll and Harris poll, to decide whether Oklahoma State will play for the highest stakes.
Gundy proclaimed earlier this week that he considered the Crimean Tide to be the second-best team in the nation "right now" — but that's what he thought his team needed to hear at the time.
"I have to make that decision and I wasn't raised that way. I'm not comfortable standing up and
beating our chests and saying that we needed to play somebody when we hadn't even won this game," Gundv said.
"That was what we were telling the team in here every day. ... I said, 'Look, I'm not going to go stand up and say we need to go play somebody else until you guys beat Oklahoma."
Afterward, he proclaimed on the field that "there's no question Oklahoma State should be No. 2 right now.
"The honest answer is we didn't deserve it. We do now," Gundy said. "And if we'd have won this game 17-14, I don't know if I'd have said
it. When you win by 34 points, we deserve the right."
The Cowboys won over at least one voter: Sooners coach Bob Stoops said hed put them at No.2 on his ballot.
"I'm sure they're going to have some great opportunities from here," Stoops said. "I don't know what will happen."
For most of the 107 years of the Bedlam rivalry, the Sooners had the better team and more on the line. But each of the past two years, Oklahoma came in with a lower ranking and still found a way to derail a couple of the best teams in Oklahoma State history.

Team breaks in upgraded facilities

Kansas track and field broke in upgraded facilities while also honoring a former legend Friday.
In addition to a newly installed track, the field inside the track at Anschutz Pavilion also received a new surface, while a new scoreboard allows runners to look up and see their time right after crossing the finish line.
Kansas athletes performed well on both surfaces, as 15 Jayhawks won events. Races were paused for a moment as Bob Timmons, the former Kansas coach who won three national championships, was honored for his induction into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame.
In the first race of the day, junior Natalie Becker won the women's 3.000-meter race.
"It feels good," Becker said. "This is a new track, so it was neat that I got to be in the very first race out there."
Senior Donny Wasinger made a strong recovery from an Achilles injury that kept him out for all of the cross country season by winning the men's 3,000-meter race. Wasinger was also a member of the winning distance medley team with sophomores Alex Hermes, Nick Seckfort and Conner Day.
Junior Francine Simpson won the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.63 seconds. She also won the long jump competition with a jump of 6.16 meters.
"I think it's a great start for the indoor season," Simpson said. "I'm happy that I won."
Sophomore Brendan Soucie won the mile race with a time of 4:21.68.
"I was just trying to come through pretty controlled for the first 800," Soucie said. "That third lap I was trying to separate as much as possible, and that last 400 is just anything you have left you've just got to give."
In the 4x400-meter relay, the Jayhawks won titles in both the men's and women's race. With a time of 3:46.85, the women's relay team won by almost eight seconds. Freshman Alisha Keys looked good in her first indoor track meet as the relay's anchor. She ran after juniors Taylor Washington and Denesha Morris and senior Shayla Wilson.
"It's my first time really running the 4x400, so I was pretty
nervous." Keys said.
The winning men's 4x400 meter relay team consisted of freshmen Michael Stigler and Kenneth McCuin, junior Dominique Manley and senior Kyle Clemons.
"It's a great feeling having a big crowd come in today and just everything was great." Clemons said.

INTERNATIONAL SOCCER
Former Brazilian captain soccer star dies at 57
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAO PAULO — On and off the field, former Brazil star Socrates stood out above the rest.
He was mostly known for captaining Brazil at the 1982 World Cup, regarded by many as the best team ever not to win football's showcase tournament.
His elegant style and his deep involvement with politics made him a unique figure in Brazilian soccer, setting him apart from the players of his time and even of today.
But he was also widely known for his heavy drinking, which he publicly admitted caused the health problems which eventually helped lead to his death on Sunday.
The Albert Einstein hospital said in a statement that Socrates died of septic shock at 4:30 a.m. Brazilian time (0630 GMT). He was 57.
Socrates had been rushed to the hospital on Saturday — the third time in four months — and had been in critical condition in an intensive care unit with an intestinal infection. He was breathing with the help of a ventilator.
Socrates was twice hospitalized and placed in intensive care in the last few months, most recently in September. Both times he was admitted for a hemorrhage caused by high pressure in the vein that carries blood from the digestive system to the liver.
"Socrates seemed like a player from another era," former Italy forward Paolo Rossi told the ANSA news agency. "You couldn't place him in any category — on the pitch and even more so off it. Everyone knew about his degree in medicine and he had a lot of cultural and social interests as well. He was unique from every point of view."
Socrates never denied his fondness for drinking from the time he was a player in the 1980s, but said he stopped drinking earlier this year after his stints in the hospital.
Indeed, Socrates was like no other on and off the field. He became a doctor after retiring from football and later became a popular TV commentator and columnist, always with unique and controversial opinions.
Since his playing days, Socrates never kept his political ideas to himself and often wrote about the subject in his columns. Known as Dr. Socrates because of his practice of medicine, he was constantly in demand from local media for interviews on varied subjects.
While with Brazilian club Corinthians, Socrates spearheaded a movement called the Corinthians Democracy, in which players protested against the long periods of confinement required by the club before matches. It quickly became a broader protest that coincided with Brazil's fight to overturn a military regime in the 1980s.
The clever, tall full-bearded playmaker also was a member of the Brazilian squad in 1986 in Mexico, but it was in 1982 in Spain that he made history with Brazil, which is known to have had one of the greatest teams in World Cup history but failed to win the trophy. With players like Zico and Falcao, it fell to Italy 3-2 in the
second round despite needing only a draw to advance to the semifinals.
"He was a very dynamic player with a sublime foot but most of all great intelligence," added
Rossi, who scored a memorable hat trick against Brazil in that match. "Along with Zico and Falcao he was the symbol of that Brazil squad.
moments after Socrates' death was announced.
"Sad start to the day," retired Brazil striker Ronaldo wrote. "Rest in peace Dr. Socrates."
Former Brazil and Barcelona playmaker Rivaldo added on his Twitter page: "Sad to wake up and find out that Socrates has died."
Reaction came from those outside of football, too, including three-time French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten and three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves.
"Socrates seemed like a player from another era." PAOLO ROSSI Former Italy forward
"Great guy," Castroneves tweeted. "A Brazilian who will be greatly missed."
Dozens of Brazilian footballers expressed their sadness on Twitter
The Brazilian football federation said the final round of the
Brazilian league on Sunday will be played in Socrates' honor. All matches will be preceded by a minute of silence. Corinthians, the team that featured Socrates at the
height of his career, needs a draw against rival Palmeiras to win the title. Corinthians' main fan group said it will honor its former star throughout the day.
Florentine, another of Socrates' former clubs, held a minute of silence and players wore black armbands in his honor in Sunday's Italian league match with Roma.
Socrates wrote a series of columns for The Associated Press during the 2011 Copa America in Argentina, expressing his views on all aspects of the tournament, including economic and political issues in Latin America.
"It's not just about the game itself," Socrates said before the competition began. "Before anything, (football) is a psychological battle, the human aspect plays a significant role."
Socrates, whose full name is Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira or Oliveira, starred for Corinthians in the early 1980s, but he also played for Flamengo and Santos, as well as Fiorentina in Italy.
Socrates was included in FIFA's list of the best 125 living soccer players in the world, a list compiled by countryman Pele. Socrates played 63 matches with the national team, scoring 25 goals.
He was known for his great vision on the field. Always clever with the ball at his feet, his trademark move was the back-heel pass, and he set up and scored many goals with it throughout his career.
Socrates briefly coached and played for Garforth Town in Eng-

that men are more sexually driven than women, may be myths.
Research, more and more, debunks these widely held beliefs, said John Sakaluk, a social psychology graduate student from Ontario, Canada. A 2003 article in The Journal of Sex Research indicates men and women rate themselves as being less comfortable with "hooking up" than they thought their friends were.

President Obama will visit watonie, south of Lawrence, today. He's scheduled to give a speech on the economy just after 1 p.m.
Osawatomie was the site of Teddy Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" speech, which heralded his progressive economic agenda.
On Monday, President Obama said Congress needs to extend a payroll tax cut, saying the economic recovery is "still fragile" and middle class families need the money.
Obama has been seeking an extension and expansion to the payroll tax cut that will expire at the end of the year. The White House says taxes on the average family would increase by $1,000 if the cuts are not extended.
The president is urging Republicans to "keep your word to the American people" on not raising taxes.
Some Republicans in Congress support the extension but the

Surging in polls, Newt Gingrich declared confidently Monday that he plans to run a general election campaign in all 50 states should he win the Republican presidential nomination. But he also found himself defending comments he had made about poor children — hinting at the potential troubles and new scrutiny he faces in the race.
The Osawatomie speech also comes as the Republican race for president heats up.

"I do not suggest children until about 14 or 15 years of age do heavy, dangerous janitorial work." Gingrich told reporters, seeking to explain previous remarks that rivals have used to criticize him. "On the other hand, there are a number of things done to clean buildings that are not heavy or dangerous."

"Socrates seemed like a player from another era," former Italy forward Paolo Rossi told the ANSA news agency. "You couldn't place him in any category — on the pitch and even more so off it. Everyone knew about his degree in medicine and he had a lot of cultural and social interests as well. He was unique from every point of view."
Socrates never denied his fondness for drinking from the time he was a player in the 1980s, but said he stopped drinking earlier this year after his stints in the hospital.

Socrates never denied his fondness for drinking from the time he was a player in the 1980s, but said he stopped drinking earlier this year after his stints in the hospital.
"Socrates seemed like a player from another era," former Italy forward Paolo Rossi told the ANSA news agency. "You couldn't place him in any category — on the pitch and even more so off it. Everyone knew about his degree in medicine and he had a lot of cultural and social interests as well. He was unique from every point of view."
Indeed, Socrates was like no other on and off the field. He became a doctor after retiring from football and later became a popular TV commentator and columnist, always with unique and controversial opinions.
Since his playing days, Socrates never kept his political ideas to himself and often wrote about the subject in his columns. Known as Dr. Socrates because of his practice of medicine, he was constantly in demand from local media for interviews on varied subjects.

The authors also found that both men and women overestimate how comfortable members of the opposite sex are with casual relationships.
Research, more and more, debunks these widely held beliefs, said John Sakaluk, a social psychology graduate student from Ontario, Canada. A 2003 article in The Journal of Sex Research indicates men and women rate themselves as being less comfortable with "hooking up" than they thought their friends were.
A 2011 study by Hyde suggests that social factors, not necessarily biological factors, are responsible for psychological gender differences.

"Men and women are becoming increasingly similar in their sexual attitudes and behaviors," Sakaluk said. "And this likely has quite an effect on many different relationship types or phases, like dating."
Meanwhile, some students are uncomfortable with what's seen as more casual hooking up and breaking up. Stephanie Eleeson, a sophomore from Wichita, said she thought dating was more traditional when her parents were young.
"Now, the dating scene is much less serious, and casual dating is way more popular than serious relationships," she said.
Myth or reality, college remains a prime time for romance, whether it's for a night or a lifetime.

President Obama, south of Lawrence, today.
He's scheduled to give a speech on the economy just after 1 p.m.
Osawatome was the site of Teddy Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" speech, which heralded his progressive economic agenda.
On Monday, President Obama said Congress needs to extend a payroll tax cut, saying the economic recovery is "still fragile" and middle class families need the money.
The president is urging Republicans to "keep your word to the American people" on not raising taxes.
Obama has been seeking an extension and expansion to the payroll tax cut that will expire at the end of the year. The White House says taxes on the average family would increase by $1,000 if the cuts are not extended.
Some Republicans in Congress support the extension but the

The Osawatomie speech also comes as the Republican race for president heats up.
Surging in polls, Newt Gingrich declared confidently Monday that he plans to run a general election campaign in all 50 states should he win the Republican presidential nomination. But he also found himself defending comments he had made about poor children — hinting at the potential troubles and new scrutiny he faces in the race.
"I do not suggest children until about 14 or 15 years of age do heavy, dangerous janitorial work." Gingrich told reporters, seeking to explain previous remarks that rivals have used to criticize him. "On the other hand, there are a number of things done to clean buildings that are not heavy or dangerous."

Local businesses top the hill
24 of the 35 winners are locally owned

When Sarah Gravenstein goes out to eat with friends she makes a point of visiting locally owned restaurants.
"You know when you go to local businesses, the money is staying in the community," said Gravenstein, a senior from Topeka.
Based on this year's Top of the Hill list, she isn't alone. Winners in 24 of the 35 categories, which range from restaurants to tanning salons, are locally owned businesses.
Susan Henderson, the director and marketing manager for the Lawrence Convention and Visitor's Bureau, said the results are reflective of the good pool of local businesses that Lawrence has to offer.
"We are lucky here in that we have a really vibrant downtown," Henderson said.
Gravenstein, who commutes from Topeka, said that Lawrence has a better selection of local businesses than her hometown.
LIST OF LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESSES THAT WERE WINNERS OF TOP OF THE HILL
"I purposefully go to Lawrence to eat at local restaurant that aren't in Topeka, like Jefferson's," Gravenstein said.
Among the local winners are Lawrence institutions such as Milton's, Sylas and Maddy's and Weaver's which has had a spot on Massachusetts Street for more than 154 years.

Indeed, Socrates was like no other on and off the field. He became a doctor after retiring from football and later became a popular TV commentator and columnist, always with unique and controversial opinions.
Socrates never denied his fondness for drinking from the time he was a player in the 1980s, but said he stopped drinking earlier this year after his stints in the hospital.
"Socrates seemed like a player from another era," former Italy forward Paolo Rossi told the ANSA news agency. "You couldn't place him in any category — on the pitch and even more so off it. Everyone knew about his degree in medicine and he had a lot of cultural and social interests as well. He was unique from every point of view."
Since his playing days, Socrates never kept his political ideas to himself and often wrote about the subject in his columns. Known as Dr. Socrates because of his practice of medicine, he was constantly in demand from local media for interviews on varied subjects.

that men are more sexually driven than women, may be myths.
Amanda Maes, a senior from Denver, is engaged to be married this June. She said she saw more people looking for someone to spend the night with rather than someone to spend a lifetime with.
The authors also found that both men and women overestimate how comfortable members of the opposite sex are with casual relationships.
Research, more and more, debunks these widely held beliefs, said John Sakaluk, a social psychology graduate student from Ontario, Canada. A 2003 article in The Journal of Sex Research indicates men and women rate themselves as being less comfortable with "hooking up" than they thought their friends were.
"I'm not saying that every single college student is like this." Maes said. "But the majority

"Men and women are becoming increasingly similar in their sexual attitudes and behaviors," Sakaluk said. "And this likely has quite an effect on many different relationship types or phases, like dating."
Meanwhile, some students are uncomfortable with what's seen as more casual hooking up and breaking up. Stephanie Eleeson, a sophomore from Wichita, said she thought dating was more traditional when her parents were young.
"Now, the dating scene is much less serious, and casual dating is way more popular than serious relationships," she said.

watomie, south of Lawrence, today. He's scheduled to give a speech on the economy just after 1 p.m.
Osawatomie was the site of Teddy Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" speech, which heralded his progressive economic agenda.
On Monday, President Obama said Congress needs to extend a payroll tax cut, saying the economic recovery is "still fragile" and middle class families need the money.
The president is urging Republicans to "keep your word to the American people" on not raising taxes.
Obama has been seeking an extension and expansion to the payroll tax cut that will expire at the end of the year. The White House says taxes on the average family would increase by $1,000 if the cuts are not extended.
Some Republicans in Congress support the extension but the
on how to Congress to without ex-
would be a "terrible mistake."
The Osawatomie speech also comes as the Republican race for president heats up.
Index
Surging in polls, Newt Gingrich declared confidently Monday that he plans to run a general election campaign in all 50 states should he win the Republican presidential nomination. But he also found himself defending comments he had made about poor children — hinting at the potential troubles and new scrutiny he faces in the race.
"I do not suggest children until about 14 or 15 years of age do heavy, dangerous janitorial work." Gingrich told reporters, seeking to explain previous remarks that rivals have used to criticize him. "On the other hand, there are a number of things done to clean buildings that are not heavy or dangerous."

"Socrates seemed like a player from another era," former Italy forward Paolo Rossi told the ANSA news agency. "You couldn't place him in any category — on the pitch and even more so off it. Everyone knew about his degree in medicine and he had a lot of cultural and social interests as well. He was unique from every point of view."
Since his playing days, Socrates never kept his political ideas to himself and often wrote about the subject in his columns. Known as Dr. Socrates because of his practice of medicine, he was constantly in demand from local media for interviews on varied subjects.

Shoppers in Lawrence now have an additional option when they look for organic and local foods. Natural Grocers, a Colorado-based grocery chain, opened its first Kansas location in Lawrence Nov. 11.
But as more Lawrence stores market themselves under the natural and local food labels, student must do their homework in figuring out what the terms mean.
Marty Glenn, a clinical dietitian and professor in advanced nutrition, said food companies often used buzzwords, such as "natural" or "nature." These words are not clearly defined or regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture.
"People think it is synonymous with organic," Glenn said. "I advise people to take the word 'natural' with a real grain of salt."
Glenn said the label "organic," however, is USDA regulated and means that the food was grown without hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, irradiation or bioengineering.
"When you see 'organic' on food labels, you can trust that claim," Glenn said.
Kelsey Rankin, a sophomore from Olathe, is critical of labels such as "organic" and "natural." About half of her diet consists of organic foods, which she prefers to pick at local farms. She said she harvests her own produce because she could verify with the growers that the food met her standards.
"With grocery stores it's almost impossible for me to really tell," Rankin said. "I guess you just have to trust them."
As for the word "local," Glenn said the USDA does not regulate the term, but many places have their own standards and police their own products.
"There is no uniformity with 'local.' Glenn said. "I always recommend that you find out from the farmers' market or grocery store."
Glenn added that consumers must take responsibility to find out more about products labeled "natural" and "local."
"In the end, 'organic' is a pretty legit claim," Glenn said, "but the other two, not so much."

Renee Rodenbeek, assistant manager at Natural Grocers, said the store is lenient about its opening and closing hours. Customers are welcomed even if they arrive early or late.
"Those odd hours we list on the door are just a friendly reminder to our staff and to you that we promise to welcome you and we will all stand by that promise."
WHAT DOES LOCAL MEAN?
+
Renee Rodenbeek, the assistant manager of Natural Grocers, 1301 W.23rd St., said each Natural Grocers store has a slightly different definition of local.
She defined local as "in and around Lawrence. We are looking within a two to three hour radius of town. Although we are trying to stay in the state of Kansas, we need to have local producers that are interested in getting their product in our store."
am ing ORGANIC
Gus Wessling, the meat and seafood manager at The Merc, 901 Iowa St., said The Merc used to label food "local" if it was grown or raised within a 200-mile radius of The Merc. Wessling said while all the food labeled "local" in The Merc still fit that standard, The Merc changed its local food standard last year.
The Merc now labels products as local if they are grown within the area and benefit the local economy, Wessling said.

RELATIONSHIPS
College, dating, sex and love

The idea that college students prefer casual dating over monogynous relationships, and the notion that men are more sexually driven than women, may be myths.
Research, more and more, debunks these widely held beliefs, said John Sakaluk, a social psychology graduate student from Ontario, Canada. A 2003 article in The Journal of Sex Research indicates men and women rate themselves as being less comfortable with "hooking up" than they thought their friends were.
Amanda Maes, a senior from Denver, is engaged to be married this June. She said she saw more people looking for someone to spend the night with rather than someone to spend a lifetime with.
The authors also found that both men and women overestimate how comfortable members of the opposite sex are with casual relationships.
"I'm not saying that every single college student is like this," Maes said. "But the majority
seems to be."
The culture of casual dating has left many wondering what happened to the days of men making the first move or bringing a gift of flowers or candy on a first date. Even if men and women have inaccurate pictures of their peers' sex lives, Sakaluk said they are becoming more similar in their attitudes toward sex and relationships.
He pointed to a 2005 study in the American Psychologist Journal by Janet Hyde, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, which found male and female graduate students now have fewer differences in how they view dating compared with graduate students in the 1960s.
This meaning that both males and females watch and listen to their peers and media to choose which actions to mimic.
Research conducted by Sakaluk shows that now both men and women share the same sexual interests, although society still tends to look down upon this, as it did in earlier decades.
"Both men and women believe that men should always be ready and interested in having sex. When they turn sex down in most circumstances, it can result in a lot of negative evaluations of

LIMA. PERU
President Ollanta Humala declared a 60-day state of emergency that took effect Monday to quell increasingly violent protests over the country's biggest investment, a highlands gold mine, by peasants who fear it will damage their water supply.
The emergency restricts civil liberties such as the right to assembly and allows arrests without warrants in four provinces of Cajamarca state that have been almost paralyzed for 11 days by protests against the $4.8-billion Conga gold-and-copper mining project. U.S.-based Newmont Mining Corp. is the project's majority owner.
Cajamacra's state governor, Gregorio Santos, has been leading the protests.
DURBAN. SOUTH AFRICA
The European Union, championing a deal to get all major countries to agree to binding pollution targets, says it will explore new signals coming from China, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
A 192-party U.N. conference moves into its decisive second week Monday, seeking agreement on future pledges by industrial countries to cut emissions and to finalize arrangements for a $100 billion annual climate fund for poor countries.
Malik's racy images in the December issue of FHM India has triggered a fury across her conservative Islamic country, with one cleric calling them a "shame for all Muslims."
EU Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said she will ask China about its signals in the last week that it is willing to begin negotiating on bringing major developing countries into a legally binding deal on their emissions controls.
Pakistani actress Veena Malik is suing a popular Indian men's magazine for millions of dollars, accusing it of publishing photos she says were doctored to make her appear nude, her lawyer said Monday.
MOSCOW
It was perhaps the largest opposition rally in years and ended with police detaining some of the activists. A group of several hundred marched toward the Central Elections Commission near the Kremlin, but were stopped by riot police and taken away in buses. The total number of those detained was not immediately available.
The photo essay appears to make light of the military rivalry between India and Pakistan, nuclear-armed neighbors who have fought three wars.
In the magazine's cover photo, Malik is shown wearing no clothing, but with her arms and legs discreetly positioned to keep her covered.
Several thousand people protested Monday night against Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his party, which won the largest share of a parliamentary election that observers said was rigged.
Estimates of the number of protesters at the rally ranged from 5,000 to 10,000. They chanted "Russia without Putin" and accused his party of stealing votes.

Board reviews work travel visas
The U.S. House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee also has been gathering information on the J-1 visa, which was created in 1963 to allow college students from other countries to spend their summer breaks living, working and traveling in the U.S.
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSON, Miss. — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has ordered an "extensive and thorough review" of a foreign exchange program that has been used by U.S. businesses as a source of cheap labor and exploited by criminals to import women to work in the sex industry.
In the latest dacile for the J-1 Summer Work Travel visa, a federal indictment unsealed last week accuses the mfaia of using the cultural exchange program to bring Eastern European women to work in New York strip clubs.
The State Department has made several changes since an Associated Press investigation last year uncovered widespread abuses, including living and working conditions that some participants compared to indentured servitude. In one of the worst cases, a woman told the AP she was beaten, raped and forced to work as a stripper in Detroit after being promised a job as a waitress in Virginia.
As the program has grown to bring more than 100,000 young people here annually, it has become as much about money as cultural understanding.
More common than sex trade abuses is shabby housing, scarce work hours and paltry pay. In August, dozens of workers protested conditions at a candy factory that packs Hershey chocolates in Hershey, Pa., complaining of hard physical labor and pay deductions
"We continue to be committed to working to strengthen the Summer Work Travel Program to safeguard the health and welfare of the participants," the official said in an email late Friday. "We have already instituted one set of reforms and are working toward additional ones that take additional measures to protect participants and prioritize the original cultural intent of the program."
for rent that often left them with little money.
A State Department spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Clinton "has called for an extensive and thorough review of the program."
The New York case was made public days after the State Department opened a period of public comment on proposed changes that would require companies that sponsor the participants to gather more information about employment and living arrangements.
It's not clear if the proposed changes would have prevented the situation in New York, in which authorities say fraudulent offers for jobs as waitresses were used to help Eastern European women get visas to come to the U.S. Instead of working in restaurants, they allegedly danced in strip clubs. Authorities say members of Gambino and Bonnano mafia families were involved.
The reforms being considered by the State Department would limit and refine the types of jobs students can have, expand the list of prohibited employment categories, and strengthen the "the cultural aspects of the program to ensure that the objective of the program positive exposure to the United States — is accomplished."

Madonna to perform at Super Bowl XLVI
LOS ANGELES — It's official:
Madonna will perform during the
Super Bowl XLIV halftime show
on Feb. 5.
The news was confirmed during NBC's "Sunday Night Football" game between the Detroit Lions and new Orleans Saints.
Rumors had been swirling for weeks that the Material Girl would hit the stage during football's most epic game of the year. And the timing couldn't be more perfect — the 53-year-old singer's romantic drama "W.E." just happens to be rolling out in theaters two days before the game. And she is currently recording an album due for release next year.
At this past February's Super Bowl, the Black Eyed Peas performed, while the Who headlined the 2010 halftime show.
The 2012 big game, which will air on NBC, is set to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Madonna will team up with Cirque Du Soleil and Jamie King for the performance.

People like say that MTV isn't MTV anymore But Comparato, a University of Kansas grad with 25
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — When Joe Comparato needed more space for TheCoolTV, the fast-growing, all-music-video network he started in his Lawrence recording studio, a building off 23rd Street became available.
In classic start-up fashion, he and his band of young hipsters skipped the remodeling step and just moved in. As a goof, they decided to leave the old sign in front that read "Diamond Cabinetry."
"People would come in, still thinking we were a cabinet shop," Comparato says. "This guy brought in this beautiful piece of maple and said, 'I was hoping you could mill this. How long will it take?'
Chief engineer Charlie Lamb happened to be standing there when the woodworker walked in. He explained that this was now the home of TheCoolTV and that, from a nerve center in the middle of the country, TheCoolTV was piping 24-hour music videos to dozens of cities. It was just like the MTV we grew up with, only better, more locally focused and featuring live performances that artists allowed TheCoolTV to film at top concert venues.
Comparato says, "And at the end this guy said, 'That's great. So ... if I leave this with you, how long will it take to mill?"
Best of all, Lamb said, you wouldn't need cable to watch TheCoolTV; it was a free TV station that broadcasters were starting to carry as a secondary digital station. It would soon be in the Kansas City-Lawrence market. Then, all you could need was a pair of rabbit ears and a digital TV set or converter box and you could watch TheCoolTV.
years in the video and music production business, argues that the original idea behind MTV wasn't sustainable.
"MTV was, cookie cutter," he says. "They decided, 'We're going to start in New York and program this music channel, and everyone's going to like it because we say they will.' You can't do music that way."
In the back of the cabinet shop is what remains of the Cool Music Network, which is being folded into TheCoolTV: a roomful of CDs, DVDs and flash-drive wrist-bands containing digital files of live performances by the bands.
TheCoolTV takes a different approach. It is a chain of 71 local TV stations, and growing, that draw on a common core of content — basically, it's music radio with pictures. A lot of the content, however, isn't music video provided by the labels. It's concert video produced by TheCoolTV, or rather Cool Music Network. That's yet another of Comparato's businesses, out of which the TV idea sprang.
The catalyst was the impending 2009 government-mandated switchover from analog to digital TV. Most viewers know that DTV made high-definition programs possible, but it also meant broadcasters could put multiple stations on the same signal and demand that local cable companies carry not just the primary station but the secondary ones as well.
"You can leave the show with a copy of what you saw," Comparato says. "Our motto is connecting bands with fans."
A few years ago, Compatato and his three business partners realized that there would soon be a demand for new digital TV stations and that this would be a natural use for the concert videos. Bands and labels quickly signed on, hoping it would be another way to connect with fans.

Geologists awarded funding to test CO2 storage
IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
One solution to the problem of climate change involves liquefying carbon dioxide and burying it deep underground.
It may sound like a far-fetched idea, but geologists from the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS), based at the University, are preparing to test it in the oil fields of southern Kansas.
The KGS has secured $11.5 million from the Department of Energy (DOE) to fund a large-scale experiment in trapping the industrial greenhouse gas and storing it in underground reservoirs. They call it carbon sequestration. The technique has also been used in the U.S. for many years to increase oil production in wells.
Petroleum industry representatives involved in the project say it could become a regional industry.
The $11.5 million award is the
largest ever received by the KGS, which has received grants totaling $10 million between 2009 and 2010.
W. Lynn Watney, a geologist with the KGS and a lead investigator in the project, said his group hopes to begin a pilot test in April 2013, injecting carbon dioxide into the Arbuckle aquifer, a watery, underground rock structure under Summer County, Kan. They will monitor those injections using seismic imaging equipment and use the results to propose future studies.
"We need to know exactly where the plume of carbon dioxide is and how it behaves," Watney said.
Watney and Jason Rush are the project's lead investigators, working with scientists from Kansas State and Berexco, Inc., a Wichita-based petroleum firm. The project will outfit the Abengoa ethanol plant, near Colwich, Kan., to trap
At eight truckloads per day, it will take nine months to move the 40,000 tons of it from Abengoa to the project site.
some of the carbon dioxide it produces as a by-product.
Watney said the researchers will pump 40,000 tons of the greenhouse gas, in pressurized liquid form, into the aquifer 5,000 feet below the surface. Another 30,000 tons will go into an overlying oil field at around 3,600 feet.
The KGS has subcontracted with petroleum firms such as Berexco LLC, Bereedo Drilling and Bittersweet Energy Inc. to accomplish the drilling. Bereexco is the operator of the oil fields where much of the testing is being done.
"If the industry looks at it as an asset, they might help build the pipeline and make it feasible for a power plant," Watney said during preliminary testing in March.
Other researchers have raised questions about the safety and
feasibility of such projects. The research of Mark Little and Robert Jackson at Duke University's Center on Global Change showed that carbon dioxide could contaminate groundwater with metals and potentially dangerous uranium and barium if it leaked from underground storage.
Another study questioned the feasibility of storing large amounts of carbon dioxide underground. A paper published in the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering by Christine Ehlig-Economides and Michael Economides asserts that many researchers have vastly overestimated the quantities of carbon dioxide that most geologic formations can hold. The researchers used mathematical models to make their own estimates of how much space is available in underground reservoirs.
Michael Economides earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in
CARBON SEQUESTRATION BY THE NUMBERS
Department of Energy money: $11.5 million

chemical engineering at the University of Kansas and is now a University of Houston professor of chemical engineering. Economides said using sequestration to mitigate against climate change was not feasible, and that many researchers and government officials were promoting unrealistic projections.
ing in Kansas will provide information to regulators for making appropriate rules for carbon sequestration. The current project is governed by EPA regulations, and the researchers will meet with local officials in Wellington Kan., near the project site, for a public meeting Dec. 12, Watney said.

'Winterize' your car before the cold
MONISHA BRUNER

Waiting until temperatures drop below 10 degrees isn't when students want to make sure their cars are winterized. Alex Clotnikov, the owner of Alek's Auto, said winterizing cars is very important.
"To winterize your car, it costs you from — it depends on what kind of vehicle — from $68 to $150," he said.

And if students don't winterize their cars, Clotnikov said they're looking at replacing an engine, which can cost up to $2,000.
"If the anti-freeze isn't strong enough, then in the pretty cold days or nights, the anti-freeze cooling fluid can freeze up," he said. "Your engine will be ruined
There are three important things mechanics say students should do to winterize their cars. First, new windshield wipers are a must for cold winter months. Second, making sure students have an ample amount of anti-freeze in their cars is essential. Third, students should check their tires to make sure there's enough threading on them.
Here are some essential products for winter driving: ice and frost shield to keep ice from sticking, anti-freeze, windshield wipers, de-icer, a good battery, jumper cables, an ice scraper and a windshield cover. It's also a good idea to keep water and a blanket in the trunk.
Edited by Ben Chipman
To avoid future complications, such as having to replace an engine, students should winterize their cars before winter hits full force. Winterizing a car can cost between $68 and $150, according to Alex Clotnikov, the owner of Alek's Auto.

Florida A&M aims to end band hazing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida A&M President James Ammons said Monday the university is committed to breaking a conspiracy of silence that has for decades shrouded hazing practices at the school and finally resulted in a band member's death.
Ammons addressed an estimated 2,000 FAMU students Monday night and then took several questions, many of which were about the media coverage that most in the audience felt portrayed the school in a bad light.
"We are going to eliminate this pattern of destructive behavior from our campus," Ammons said.
"This code of silence hampers our ability to root out these insidious activities."
Petitions were sent through the audience from student government leaders seeking signatures from students to pledge to stop hazing at the school.
Robert Champion, a drum major in the school's famed band, the "Marching 100," died in Orlando. It came hours after performing at the annual Florida Classic football game between the Rattlers and rival Bethune-Cookman.
Champion, 26, was found unresponsive on Nov. 19 on a bus parked outside a hotel after the game after he had been seen vomiting.

Wildcats finish eighth in BCS
Kansas State was picked to finish eighth in the Big 12. It wound up eighth in the BCS.
That wasn't good enough for the Sugar Bowl, which bypassed the Wildcats on Sunday night in favor of Michigan and Virginia Tech, big-name schools with lesser resumes. The snub didn't sit well with many fans of Kansas State, which will instead play Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.
It turns out to be a pretty good consolation prize.
While the Wildcats and Razorbacks can gripe over what many perceive as an unfair system, they will be lining up against each other at Jerry Jones' showplace in Texas. Organizers say it won't matter at all that the Cotton Bowl was left out of the BCS.
"It'll have the feel of a national
championship. Just ask Texas A&M and LSU last year," Cotton Bowl chairman Tommy Bain said. "You really will forget about the BCS because you literally will think you're in one of the finest bowl games going."
All that will be missing is the BCS patch on the jerseys, the sticker on the back of the helmet — oh, and the millions of dollars difference between the Cotton Bowl payout and the one that comes from a BCS game.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, no stranger to bowl controversy, took a diplomatic approach to the Cotton Bowl bid, making sure not to diminish one of the Big 12's longtime partners while at the same point making it clear that he believes the system has some fundamental flaws.
It was under Snyder that the Wildcats lost in double-overtime
in the Big 12 title game in 1998, their only defeat of the season, and slid from the national title game to the Alamo Bowl.
"Well, we're in it, so there's not a whole lot I can do to change it," he said of the BCS. "It's very distinct how the No. 1 and No. 2 teams are placed, and yet it doesn't seem to follow suit with how the No. 3 and No. 4 and No. 5 and No. 6 and No. 7 and No. 8 are placed.
"If there was something to be adjusted," he said, "I would suggest it might be in that area."
Kansas State beat Baylor and Texas, which were both ranked when they played, and lost only to Big 12 champion Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. The Wildcats finished second in what was generally regarded as the toughest conference, from top to bottom, this season.

Growing up: Never lose sight of your inner child
Being the youngest of four, all I remember thinking about during my childhood was how much I couldn't wait to grow up and have all the same privileges that my brother and sisters had. In sports, I was always trying to catch up to my brother. I anxiously anticipated the day that I could finally beat him in horse or hit my driver farther on the tee.
LIFESTYLE
With my oldest sister, I patiently waited until the day came when conversations with her didn't make me feel like such an insecure, ignorant dumbass (I'm still waiting on this one).
So of course, now that my time has come and I've reached
my growth spurt, along with my higher level of thinking (yeah right), I can't help but look back to my childhood and wonder if I took it for granted. Did I play enough tag? Did I TIP enough houses? Did I climb trees, hop fences and get into enough trouble for crying out loud?
A couple of nights ago I was working on some economic homework when a friend walked in with at least a liter of hot chocolate. He turned to my roommate and said, "You ready?" My roommate dropped everything he was doing and, in a Morpheus-esque tone, replied, "Let's do this." He grabbed the remote to the TV.
and within seconds, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was beginning in the middle of my studying. Being the responsible student that I am, I also dropped everything that I was doing and began watching what I consider to be one of the greatest movies of all time.

but that doesn't mean our spirits should be boxed up and put in the closet along with our Game Boy Color. It's not the loss of innocence that makes us adults; it's the remembrance of the revelry and excitement for life we had that shaped us to be the people we are today and tomorrow.
Yes, we are all legal adults, but our spirits are still the kids at recess playing tag. Our degrees will come and then our jobs soon after, but our excitement for life and living will always remain. We might be a little old for riding our Razor Scooters down to the park.
So go ahead, make yourself some hot chocolate and watch the Abominable Snowman put the star on top of the tree. We may not look like kids, but who says we can't be young at heart?

POLITICS
Vote Ron Paul, the only decent candidate
As the election season heats up, I must do my part to encourage my fellow students to vote for the only decent presidential candidate: Texas Congressman Ron Paul. He is the candidate for those who believe in freedom, good will toward neighbors, limited government and a return to sound monetary policies.
One of the biggest reasons Ron Paul is the right man to be president is his principled anti-war stance. He is the only candidate among the Republicans and incumbent Obama who would not seek additional sanctions and other acts of war against Iran. Far from being an isolationist, Paul is instead a non-interventionist who believes in trade and peace with all nations and entangling alliances with none.
By Jason Bennett
jbannett@kansan.com
It's clear that Paul's non-interventionist policies resonate with members of the military, too. Paul has received more campaign
donations from active-duty military than any other presidential candidate, including Obama.
I can't neglect to mention Paul's anti-prohibition stance either. Paul advocates ending the failed "War on Drugs," correctly reasoning that the Constitution gives the federal government no authority to ban substances such as marijuana. It took a constitutional amendment to gain the authority to prohibit alcohol. Why should marijuana be any different?
Paul is staunchly pro-life, an understandable position given his profession as a medical doctor; as an OBGYN, the doctor delivered more than 4,000 babies. Disagree with him or not, Paul has a long record of working to protect human life — both inside and outside the womb.
For those whom gay marriage is an essential issue, Paul is, again, the best choice. Paul deviates from the typical conservative, believing the government has no authority to regulate marriage contracts between individuals, and questions the reason for the existence of marriage licenses altogether. After all, why do we need the government's permission to marry?
Paul would let young people opt out of financially insolvent Ponzi schemes like Social Security, gradually defounding the programs while keeping the nations promise to the elderly. He would pay for the
programs through savings gained by ending American wars, bringing troops home and closing down hundreds of unnecessary and expensive military bases around the world.
With the stroke of a pen, Paul would end the existence of the Transportation Security Administration and its dangerous, radiation-producing scanners. He would return security to airports, hopefully ending the grasping, groping molestation of Americans who simply want to fly on a plane. Paul is the only candidate who understands that the government has no business spying on its citizens without due cause.
Obama ran for election in 2008 as an anti-war candidate, but once in office, promptly sent more troops to the Middle East, and even started bombing campaigns in countries like Pakistan, Yemen and Libya — all of which are illegal.
unconstitutional actions without an official declaration of war.
You may not agree with Ron Paul on every stance. That's okay. But what you can take to the bank is his humility, his consistency and his humanity. He doesn't want to run your life. He's committed to respecting human rights of citizens both from America and around the globe. And he's maintained these positions, unwaveringly, for more than 30 years.
Don't worry about whether he can win. Voting isn't about trying to guess who is most likely to win and then voting for that person. It's about voting your conscience for the candidate most in line with your principles. So vote for Ron Paul. He is our only hope.

CAMPUS
Discovering identity and passion as a Jayhawk
"I-L-I...I-N-I"
That was the college chant I've been accustomed to for most of my life and collegiate career. But, as I wrap up my first semester, Kansas has me bleeding blue, and believing in the essence of a bird that doesn't even physically exist.
Having spent some time as a Jayhawk, I realized that college is a far more different place for nontraditional and transfer students than it is for recent high school graduates.
By Vikaas Shanker
vshanker@kansan.com
I was born and brought up in Naperville, Ill., near Chicago. I breathed Big Ten air and when I graduated high school in 2006. I imagined myself working for Caterpillar in Peoria, Ill, or Boeing in Chicago, designing fuel-efficient engines and working on machine designs.
I was enrolled in University of Illinois' mechanical engineering program for three years starting Fall of 2006. I was supposed to graduate in 2010 and have a job. I should have made more than $100,000 by now. That was my expectation.
But I'm still in school.
After my junior year at Illinois, I needed a break from the uninspiring engineering classes. I took a year off to go back home and enroll in community college. There I found my true interest in writing and I flourished at the school's student newspaper for two years. I officially left Illinois and abandoned engineering.
Now I'm here.
I decided to transfer to the University of Kansas because it had a terrific journalism program and student newspaper.
My first visit to Lawrence during spring break in March was the dealmaker. But while trying for apartments as a non-traditional student, I was rejected because in the University's eyes, I wasn't one.
I had to be two years older than the traditional age of my current academic level.
I was 23, had already been to two different postsecondary educational institutions in a different state, and I was technically a senior with more than 130 credit hours who would be here for two years.
I would hardly qualify that as traditional. University Housing should make non-traditional housing more accessible to students who want to live in these specialized apartments.
The new student orientation for transfer students was a quick welcome, enroll and goodbye. I trekked the campus, only guided by a map and poor directions to awkward buildings on an unfamiliar hill.
Living with people in a similar situation as me would have made my transition to KU life much easier. And while residing in the dorms allows me to relive the frenzied freshman year, it's been hard for me to connect with students five years younger than I am.
Although freshmen are the feeding tube of the University,
transfer students provide a unique perspective that enriches the college experience. Putting additional resources into making transfer students comfortable at the start of their KU experience would help get that unique perspective into the classroom and campus.
While I'm past that stage of sharing drinking stories at every meal, I see freshmen throwing away their best shot at a quality education by skipping class and drinking every day. I see upperclassmen giving up easily by dropping and putting off required, undesired courses so much it delays graduation.
I understand these students' problems,but it still saddens me.
I also see students who just have a fat future paycheck on their mind.
Instead of exploring their interests while graduating on time, some students force themselves into one career track, struggle in their major, and end up taking five or more years to graduate while keeping the "future benefits" in mind.
Trust me, I've been there and it's
not worth it.
But students should be proud of the University. Traditions here are unlike anything I've seen at Big Ten schools.
Having a national championship contending basketball team each year helps, but students here wear blue more than Illinois students wear orange at Champaign. They jeer at K-State and Missouri with more than a rivalry undertone. The passion here is tremendous.
From newspaper confetti to the bone-chilling Rock Chalk chant, in only a semester I've grown to love the University for the identity it provides me. In five years at two different educational institutions, I've never had the complete traditional college experience from convocation to graduation. But the traditions and people at Kansas are the things that make me proud to be a layhawk.
I'll forever be saying:
"Go KU!"

KANSAS TIPOFF
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
AT A GLANCE
Following two victories in Allen Field-house that were plagued by sickness and inconsistent shooting, the Jayhawks could benefit from a smoother effort tonight. No. 2 Ohio State visits Lawrence on Saturday, and from what fans have seen recently, the Jayhawks don't appear ready quite yet. Self will likely continue to increase the roles of his bench players, especially after junior forward Kevin Young snagged six rebounds in five minutes on Saturday against the University of South Florida. By finding a more balanced effort tonight, the Jayhawks can rely less on senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior forward Thomas Robinson for scoring. Resurecting junior guard Elijah Johnson will be Self's most important task tonight.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Elijah Johnson, junior guard He dropped 23 points on UCLA in Maui and many fans thought he had finally broken out. Perhaps Johnson would be the Jayhawk with the ball in his hands at the end of games. Not so fast, friends. Johnson had his two worst games of the season last Wednesday and Saturday, and Self has questioned his mental toughness. Johnson seems to play worse when his team doesn't play well, adding to the ineptitude of an already average offense. His 3-point shot is off, his usually secure ball handling has been unsteady and, as Self mentioned, his mindset needs to change. Johnson needs a comeback game so he's ready to help out Saturday.
What's to blame: 'the crud' or the skills?
QUESTION MARK
"If we look ahead to Saturday, we'll go into Saturday with three losses."
Self explained after Saturday's slop-fest against USF that several players and a coach have gotten "the crud." While the exact definition of this sickness is still being debated, junior forwards Thomas Robinson and Kevin Young were just a few players who weren't at full strength on Saturday. Will the crud linger tonight or have the players shed their illnesses? Regardless, it's hard to say if the poor play is a result of the crud or just the fact that this team really can't score. The Jayhawks play defense tough enough to hang with the nation's best, but without Johnson's contributions, they may just have to keep winning games in ugly fashion.
HEAR YE HEAR YE
— Coach Bill Self
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Johnson gets his shot back and the Jayhawks contain Ware. Especially after how Kansas has played of late, Long Beach State certainly could pull off the upset. With steady defense and a widespread attack, the Jayhawks will come on top ready, at last, to prepare for Ohio State.
COUNTDOWN TO TIPOFF GAME DAY
Long Beach State no pushover Jayhawks ready for another challenge KANSAS VS. LONG BEACH STATE 8 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE

Johnson
KANSAS STARTERS
Taylor
Releford
DONALD JOHNSON
ELUAH JOHNSON, GUARD
PETER MCKINNEY
Johnson needs a few consecutive jump shots early to help clear his mind. The best scorers forget about the last shot and focus on the next task at hand. According to Self, Johnson has dwelled on past miscues and let them negatively affect his game. When playing well, Johnson and Taylor form a solid backcourt with a diverse set of skills. These days, Taylor is pulling all the weight and the offense is generally predictable. If Johnson is a non-factor for his third consecutive game tonight, it's difficult to envision him turning things around against Ohio State.
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
★★★☆☆
10
Self has said that he wants less scoring and more distributing from Taylor, who scored a season-high 24 points and also dished 5 assists against South Florida. Taylor still needs to decrease his turnovers and create more opportunities for his teammates, but with his improved jump shot and Johnson's struggles, one has to believe that Self will need his scoring ability. Freshman guard Neadir Tharpe has hardly worked his way into the rotation, though if Self wants the youngster to play against Ohio State, tonight will be a good time to acclimate him.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, FORWARD
Robinson
★★★☆☆
Releford continues to play strong defense by pressuring the ball and denying lanes with his strength. He has the 'talent to average double-digit scoring, he just doesn't seem comfortable enough when shooting from deep. The open opportunities have been there, but Releford often passes up the shot. He's the kind of player who won't amaze or disappoint with his statistics, instead proving his worth on loose balls and on-ball defense. The Jayhawks could use a little more offense from Releford, but there's not much to complain about here.
THOMAS ROBINSON,
FORWARD
★★★☆☆
The double-double streak is over at six games. Robinson was two rebounds sh of 10 on Saturday, but he still had a respectable afternoon. At the beginning of the USF game, he stepped back and smoothly hit a shot before the 3-point line. As the game progressed, he never exploded but was always steady. He only picked up two fouls in the game, but didn't possess the kind of aggression seen in previous games. Robinson said after the game that he was under the weather the few days before, so maybe he was also struck by "the crud." Look for Robinson to start another double-double streak tonight and continue to chip in at the free-throw line.
Withey also cut down on his fools with just two on Saturday, but that doesn't excuse him from the rest of his lifeless stat line: six points (four of five shots missed), three rebounds and one block. Withey will rarely be the go-to option in this offense, but he'll always be depended on as a rebounder. Withey has the physical attributes and talent to maul rebounds in bunches — he just hasn't done it yet. If Withey could play as aggressively as Robinson, he would be just as much of a candidate for double-doubles.
PETER LEMMANN
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER

LARRY ANDERSON. GUARD
LONG BEACH STATE STARTERS
Anderson has started all seven games for the 49ers and is averaging over 35 minutes per game. He is the second leading scorer behind Ware with 15.1 points per game. The senior enters his final season seventh on the schools all-time steals list and was an All-Big West first team selection last season.
JOHN RYAN
Anderson
★★★☆☆
CASPER WARE, GUARD
PETER ROBINSON
Ware
As noted above, Ware is the best player on the Longbeach State roster and is one of the best guards the Jayhawks will face all season. He plays nearly 37 minutes per game and is the team's leading scorer with 17.1 points per game. A big game from Ware is the key to a 49'ers upset.
★★★★☆
Robinson
T.J. ROBINSON, FORWARD
A. J. MCKINNEY
Robinson was a second team All-Big West selection last season when he averaged 13.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. He is now the school's all-time leading rebounder and is averaging 11.3 rebound per game this season. At 6-foot-8 but just 205 pounds, he won't be able to match up with Thomas Robinson size-wise , but he can rebound with the best of them.
★★★☆★
James is a junior college transfer but like the rest of the starting five, he's started all seven games this season. He's a 6-foot-6 guard/forward hybrid who is comfortable on the wing as well as down low on the block. He doesn't do any one thing great but is a reliable scorer for head coach Dan Monson.
JAMES ENNIS. FORWARD
PETER ANGEL
★★☆★★
Ennis
EUGENE PHELPS, FORWARD
Eugene Phelps, forward. Phelps is 226 points away from joining Longbeach State's 1000 point club. He's eighth all-time in blocked shots and averages 9.1 points per game. He was an honorable mention All-Big West member last season and is
second on the team with 6.6 rebounds per game this season. He's the biggest starter for Dan Monson but is often over looked by Ware and Robinson.

LONG BEACH STATE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
TH
The here Fa w Hal
"The here
Long Beach State has already played two BCS conference opponents this season, highlighted by an 86-76 upset of then-No. 9 Pittsburgh. It also traveled to Louisville, losing by 10 to Rick Pitino's Cardinals. The 49ers are 4-3 on the season and are ranked 13th in CollegeInsider.com's Mid-Major top 25 poll. They've averaged 76 points in both games against BCS opponents and are led in scoring by senior guard Casper Ware. Long Beach State has one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the country. The 49ers play four top ten teams, more than preparing them for the Big West conference season. Tuesday night's game will be the first trip to Lawrence for the 49ers since Jan. 25, 1993, when they knocked off a No. 1 Kansas team, 64-49.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Casper Ware, senior guard
Ware is one the best, if not the best, mid-major players in the country. He was named to the Wooden Award watch list, which is given to the nation's best player after the season. He was an honorable mention All-American last season after averaging 17.2 points per game. He was named the Big West Player of the Year as well as the conference's Defensive Player of the Year. He has been selected for All-Big West honors every season he's been at Long Beach State. In the 49ers upset of Pittsburgh, Ware had a team-high 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting. He had a more pedestrian 13 points in the team's loss to Louisville last week, but the possibility of a huge outburst is always there.
QUESTION MARK
Will previous tough games help the 49ers in Allen Fieldhouse?
The 49ers aren't the average mid-major heading into Lawrence for a non-conference game in December. They are a real talent team with plenty of big-game experience. They have three players that they rely on for scoring and one star — Casper Ware — that is capable of putting up big numbers on any defense. Allen Fieldhouse will be the most raucous crowd the 49ers will see this season, but with two tough road games already under their belt, they should have an idea of what to expect from the Kansas fans. Not only that, but they've proven that they are capable of upsetting a ranked team on the road. A win inside Allen Fieldhouse will be tough, but it certainly isn't out of the question.
HEAR YE HEAR YE
"Gasper Ware is as good with the ball as any guard in the country."

BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Ware catches fire and never relents. There really isn't another serious threat on this team, but Ware's 28 points at Pittsburgh were enough to seal the upset.

The BCS is all about the benjamins now
MORNING BREW
The BCS stands for the Bowl Championship Series, but it really stands for Best Corrunt System.
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
The perversion within college sports, specifically college football, has gone on for several decades. Since the BCS was created in 1998 to generate revenue and pair the top two teams in the national championship game, the greed has reached new, unprecedented heights.
Money dictates everything. Money is both loved and loathed for its authoritarianism. Money is the BCS.
The 2011 BCS National Championship game features two teams from the Southeastern Conference, LSU and Alabama. Regardless of who wins the title game, an SEC team will have won the national championship six seasons in a row — an unmatched level of excellence that disparages other conferences. Since the BCS's inception in 1998, an SEC team has won 54 percent of the national championships. That percentage will increase to 57 percent once the 2011 BCS title game is played. Because of its success and competitiveness, SEC football is the monetary king that rules the college sports landscape. The SEC is the BCS's piggy bank.
Football is the main source of revenue
for college athletic departments. School presidents and athletic directors understand that if they want their schools' athletics programs to be financially prosperous, football success is imperative. The SEC is the model conference that other BCS conferences strive to emulate. The SEC's establishment of two divisions within the conference, creation of a conference championship game and price TV contracts were influential. SEC programs are satisfied because the conference engages in equal revenue sharing and their programs are nationally recognized because of the television exposure.
Two disgruntled schools, Missouri and Texas A&M, bolted from the Big 12 for the SEC because they sought a piece of
the pie. The schools recognized the SEC's economic might and football dominance and were convinced that there were greener financial and competitive pastures. The Big 12 was on course toward financial stability once all conference members agreed to equal revenue sharing and the conference is as competitive as the SEC, but greed swayed Texas A&M and Missouri south.
Missouri and Texas A&M also used Colorado's and Nebraska's departures from the Big 12 as an excuse to leave for the SEC because they didn't want to be left behind if the Big 12 dissolved. Nebraska joined the Big Ten, and Colorado became a new member of the PAC 12. Both conferences were starving for a 12-member league so they could create conference divisions as well as a conference championship game to compete against the SEC. The Big Ten and PAC 12 also recognized an equal revenue sharing policy for its members.
For the ACC to remain a legitimate BCS member and avoid defection from its members, the conference had to acquire at least two schools from the Big East, the weakest BCS conference. It is the weakest BCS conference because its revenue among other BCS conferences is
KU
very low.
The BCS and the SEC are responsible for the revamped college sports landscape that has alienated fans. Inequality exists in college sports, especially football. The Big 12 and the Big East were victims of the conference realignment chaos that destroyed the fabric of college athletics. For a school like Oklahoma State that deserves a shot at the national title, it's unfair. Money is deciding the fate of student athletes and fans, who are the real losers in all of this.

COMMENTARY Football needs new culture
As Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger's search for a new football coach enters its second week, the Kansas football program should brace itself for a complete change of culture.
Part of Turner Gill's huge problem at Kansas was that he concentrated too much on mentoring rather than coaching football. Gill's philosophy of teaching his players to grow as individuals on and off the field may have worked if his teams actually bought into his system. However, after two seasons of passionless 5-19 football, it was pretty evident that Gill had little-to-no influence over his players.

Kansas' new football coach should bring a completely different mentality to the program, holding players accountable for their mistakes. Zenger needs a coach who brings name recognition and instant credibility to a suffering football program that went from BCS bowl winner to college football laughingstock in a matter of three years.
When Gill got the boot from Kansas, the Jayhawk faithful had one person on its mind: Mike Leach. It seemed that "Pirate Fever" instantly spread around the Kansas football fans and media. A family of five was even greeted at Lawrence Municipal Airport by a dozen Leach-suspecting media members because the flight originated from Leach's hometown of Key West, Fla.
KANSAS PLAYS CAPABLE LONG BEACH STATE PAGE 10
Kansas' next coach does not have to be as relentless in ridicule as Mark Mangino was, but the fact of the matter is that "nice guy" coaches do not win at Kansas.
As the coaching search continues into its second week, take comfort in knowing that times are changing for the better.

Well, to Kansas' dismay. "The Pirate" would not be setting sail in Lawrence as Leach accepted the job to coach at Washington State. With the fan favorite off the market, more pressure is on Zenger's shoulders to find the right man for the job.
"As a Jayhawk, I am incredibly excited about the opportunities before us. I look forward to introducing the Jayhawk Nation to the new leader of our football program very soon," Zenger said in the message.
Zenger reassured students and Williams Education Fund members about the coaching search through an email on Friday afternoon.
Regardless of who Zenger hires, the new coach will be a disciplinarian and will be significantly tougher on his players than Gill. Southern Mississippi's Larry Fedora fits the bill perfectly, but he is one of the hot commodities in the coaching profession.
Whether or not Zenger already has his guy, the email was interesting to say the least. With job openings at more reputable football schools, such as Texas A&M, UCLA, Arizona State and North Carolina, Zenger may have been sensing anxiety amongst the Kansas fan base. I think it will be very difficult for Kansas to steal away a big-name coach from one of these schools with deeper pockets.

TIME TO GET MEAN
Withey says he could be more aggresive
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
twitter.com/udk_bball
He's the biggest guy on the floor, but he's no bully. He's a joker, but he isn't too loud. He's a rebounder, but he could do more.
"Hes a nice kid," coach Bill Self said of junior center Jeff Withey. "But Thomas (Robinson) is a nice kid, too, and he can go after the ball pretty good."
Withey embodies the feel of a kid from San Diego. He's calm, relaxed and usually smiling, but those characteristics don't typically describe the greatest centers.
When Kansas plays Long Beach State tonight at 8 in Allen Fieldhouse, Withey may attempt to shed some of his kindness in exchange for rebounds.
"I think a mean streak would help." Self said. "No question."
In the past, Withey's placid nature has inspired fans and pundits to call him "soft," perhaps the worst word a center can hear. Withey is aware of the fact that he needs more aggression. The progression of the season will tell if he can do something about it or if he'll never change.
Faced against the supreme defense of Duke in the Maui Invitational's championship game, Withey rose to the occasion. Early in the game, he dunked heavily and drew a foul in the same play. Before his feet landed on the hardwood, a vicious scowl shaped his face. All aggression. No messing around.
"I'll throw a basketball at him or anything," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "I love to see him mad."
A mean streak doesn't require shoving freshmen into lockers or starting fights in the parking lot. Withey could use a little more toughness in the paint. That's all. The past two games, Withey has only had five combined rebounds.
"He has too many games where he's getting two and three (rebounds)." Self said. "He should be up in that six, seven range every game."
When former center Cole Aldrich anchored the defense, the guards could take more risks poking around for steals. If they missed, Aldrich was waiting behind them with a missing tooth and shot blocking hands.
"I don't think he's as good as Cole yet," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "But I think he's definitely working his way there."
Taylor admitted that Withey has blocked his shots in practice more than any other defender. He knows that Withey's ability to alter games defensively exists because he's seen it before. Now the Jayhawks need the shot-blocking prowess of practice to translate to the actual games.

Just don't expect Withey to change that cool demeanor.
"I wish he talked more," Taylor said. "But that's just who he is."

Withey hasn't dominated the whole season, but he has stepped up in his team's biggest games. Against Kentucky and Duke, he was arguably Kansas' best player.

President Obama waves to the audience after finishing his remarks Tuesday afternoon in Osawatomie. The President struck a populist tone in a speech that received wide-spread media attention. Hundreds of people stood in line for the chance to see the speech in person.
PRAIRIE POPULISM
Inequality distorts democracy. Obama says in Kansas address
JONATHAN SHORMAN
jshorman@kansan.com
OSAWATOMIE - President Barack Obama brought a message of economic populism here Tuesday, delivering a speech that was well-received by an audience who endured bone-cold conditions to get in.
Obama, invoking Teddy Roosevelt, called for fair economic policies. The president reiterated that the wealthiest Americans should pay their "fair share" and that this involved raising tax rates on the richest.
He also had tough words for Republicans about efforts to obstruct the mission of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, which was created last year when Congress passed a financial reform bill.
"I want you to hear me Kansas! I will veto any effort to delay, defund or dismantle the new rules we put in place." Obama said.
At times, Obama's language was similar to the vocabulary of the Occupy Movement. With a row of American and Kansas flags behind him and a crowded high school gymnasium in front of him, the president framed fairness in the context of the wealthiest one percent of Americans, citing statistics that show a typical CEO now earns 110 times the wages of a typical worker.
"Inequality also distorts our democracy," Obama said. "It runs the risk of selling out our democracy to the highest bidder."
At its very worst, inequality creates a future where children born into poverty are less capable of climbing into the middle class. Obama said, but that a different vision of the future was possible.
"The world is shifting to an innovation economy and no one does innovation better than America," Obama said.
importance of education, noting that the unemployment rate for college graduates is about half the national average.
The president emphasized the
"We should be a country where everyone has a chance to go and doesn't rack up $100,000 of debt," Obama said, in a line that drew a standing ovation.
Along with education, research and investment in infrastructure is important to creating a better America, Obama said.
The speech, which lasted a little under an hour, was wellattended, with hundreds packing into the Osawatomie High School gym. Dozens of television cameras peppered the back of the gym, and journalists stood along the right side, notebooks and cameras in hand.
HANNAH WISE/KANSAN
Matt Visser, a junior from Leavenworth, came with Weber. Visser, who held notes that he took during the speech, said that he expected to hear about broad policies that Obama could put into place, but that he really enjoyed the president's message of fair play.
Several University students were also in attendance. Chris Weber, a senior from Princeton, Kan., came to Osawatamie on Sunday for tickets before coming back Tuesday for the speech. He was not disappointed.
The audience, appearing comprised primarily of supporters, gave the president several standing ovations and numerous applause lines. Obama was not heckled during the speech.
"He had a lot of good stuff to say, there were a few jabs at the Republican though; it was good," Weber said.
Visser is a supporter of Obama, but had not volunteered for the campaign.
"I probably will this coming year, though", he said.

LADAM STRUNK
OSAWATOMIE — For being in the middle of a largely conservative county in a largely red state, President Barack Obama received a strong and positive response during the speech he gave Tuesday in Osawatomie.
Whether wearing overalls or overcoats, the crowd of 600 that packed Osawatomie High School gymnasium applauded and cheered the president's speech championing the middle class and the necessity of a fair tax system.
astrunk@kansan.com
The President's populist tone harkened back to a similar speech given by the Lordored Roosevelt gave 100 years ago in the town. The speech, known as the "New Nationalism" speech called for a progressive income tax as well as
"I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, and when everyone plays by the same rules," he said. "Those aren't Democratic or Republican values; 1 percent values or 99 percent values. They're American values, and we have to reclaim them."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that the "New Nationalism" speech was the motivation behind the Presidents Osawatomie visit.
well as increased regulation over industries.
"It had everything to do with theodore Roosevelt," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said to The Kansan. "Teddy Roosevelt gave a profoundly important speech here in 1910. What is amazing is if you read that speech, I have it here, is you could deliver most of it today."
Obama alluded to the speech numerous times, saying that as in 1910 and today the middle class had reached a turning point.
"Ir. 1910, Teddy Roosevelt came here, to Osawatomie, and laid out his vision for what he called a New Nationalism. "Our country," he said, "...means nothing unless it means the triumph of a real democracy...of an economic system under which each man shall be guaranteed the opportunity to show the best that there is in him."

Drinking citations continue in force
Fake ID 101 task forces patrolled area bars and restaurants for the fourth weekend this semester Thursday and Saturday nights.
Jen Jordan, director of prevention at Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, said she was disappointed in the number of citations for underage drinking.
"I'm frustrated that it stayed the same," Jordan said. On Thursday the task force cited 29 people for drinking underage and 30 people on Saturday night.
Jordan said that bars allowing minors to drink are only cited if the IDs used are obviously fake.
"It's ridiculous what kind of IDs our bars let in," Jordan said. She said that in the past she had seen confiscated fakes that read "For Novelty Use Only" on the back as well as IDs that were several months expired.
On Thursday tasks force officers cited the Phoggy Dog Bar & Grill. 2228 Iowa Street, for allowing a drinking game. Jordan said the bar had a beer pong competition for a prize!
"It's against the law for licensed bars to allow competitive drinking games," Jordan said. She said bars should be aware of that because the stipulation is part of their liquor licenses. Jordan said that that DCCCA had provided a free educational class for bar owners is August, but not all local bars had attended.
Jordan said she wasn't sure if another task force would patrol this semester because agents were still calculating how much money is left in the budget.

ATHENS, GREECE
Greece's lawmakers were set Tuesday to pass next year's austerity budget, extending tough spending cut measures that have already left Greeks struggling as the country tries to pull itself out of a severe recession.
With three parties, including the country's majority socialists and its rival conservatives, involved in Greece's new coalition government, the budget is expected to pass with an overwhelming majority in a midnight vote.
The end of the budget debate coincided with the third anniversary of a fatal police shooting of a teenager in central Athens, and lawmakers spoke as clashes broke out in front of Parliament between hundreds of anarchists and riot police during a commemorative march.
PORT-OF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD
The 2012 budget foresees a fourth year of recession.
Sixteen men detained in an alleged plot to kill the prime minister and other officials in Trinidad and Tobago have been released after officials were unable to find sufficient evidence against them. police said Tuesday.
Prosecutors had held the group under special legal powers granted under the emergency decree, but did not find enough evidence to bring charges, said Sgt. Wayne Mystar, a spokesman for the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.
MOSCOW
The men left the jail just before the midnight Monday expiration of the emergency order. Most covered their faces and quickly got into the vehicles of relatives, but several cheered or shouted "freedom" and denounced the government for holding them on what they said was a fabricated plot.
Police clashed with demonstrators protesting alleged election fraud in Moscow and at least two other major Russian cities on Tuesday as anger boiled over against strongman Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party.
At least 250 people were detained by police at a protest in downtown Moscow that included flare-type fireworks thrown at a group of pro-Kremlin youth, said city police spokesman Maxim Kolosovetoy.
Russian news agencies reported about 200 people were arrested at a similar attempt to hold an unsanctioned rally in St. Petersburg and another 25 in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don.
It was the second consecutive night of large protests in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as Russian police routinely crack down hard on unauthorized rallies.
TOKYO
A panel probing an accounting scandal at Japan's Olympus Corp. said Tuesday an elaborate scheme to cover up $1.5 billion of investment losses was orchestrated by a group of top executives who were "rotten to the core."
The panel also credited the company's ex-CEO, Michael Woodford, for bringing the deception at the camera and medical equipment maker to light. Woodford, a Briton, was fired in October after questioning the dubious transactions that have become one of Japan's biggest corporate fiascos.
Led by former Supreme Court judge Tatsuko Kainaka, the third-party panel found that as of 2003, Olympus had racked up 117.7 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in investment losses dating back to the 1990s.
The panel said it traced the money and the various funds used to cover up investment losses.

OBAMA FROM PAGE 1
Obama warned that if the country does not take action, the opportunities for Americans would continue to wane.
"It's heartbreaking enough that there are millions of working families in this country who are now forced to take their children to food banks for a decent meal. But the idea that those children might not have a chance to climb out of that situation and back into the middle class, no matter how hard they work? It's wrong," he said drawing loud applause.
The tone of the speech may have a chord with members of the Osawatomie community. During the last decade in Osawatomie, unemployment has increased while population has dropped.
PAGE 3
"Investing in things like education that give everybody a chance to succeed. A tax code that makes sure everybody pays their fair share. And laws that make sure everybody follows the rules. That's what will transform our economy. That's what will grow our middle class again." Obama said.
Members of the crowd had waited outside in freezing temperatures since five in the morning, and had camped out to receive tickets for the event. The speech lasted a little under an hour.
Obama made recommendations of fair tax rates and increased emphasis on education as remedies to the problem of wealth inequality and the lack of opportunity.

Jail escapist apprehended after five days on the loose
CONCORD, N.H. — A burglary suspect who escaped from a New Hampshire jail and vowed revenge on two people in Maine was caught Tuesday after five days on the lam, police said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
David Glenn Hobson was captured Tuesday evening by U.S. marshals near a grocery store in Rochester, N.H., where he had picked up in a vehicle by a friend, Maine state police spokesman Steve McCaussland said. He did not have a gun, like authorities had suspected, and was arrested without incident, McCaussland said.
"He was quickly taken into custody," said McCausland, who said police had gotten a tip late in the afternoon.
Hobson, 33, was in custody Tuesday evening and couldn't be reached for comment. His family has declined to talk.
Hobson escaped from an Ossipee, N.H., jail, about 35 miles away from where he was captured, on Dec. 1 by scaling a razor-wire
fence in the recreation yard, authorities said. Police believed he had a gun and appeared to hold a grudge against two people with whom he once had a personal relationship.
U. S. Marshal Noel March said the two were aware of the threats and were "in a safe place."
Hobson, whose criminal record includes a series of burglary convictions, wasn't going after past victims, March said before the capture.
But one of those burglary victims said she had lived in fear of Hobson since he ransacked her home several times in 2005 looking for pain medication she takes for a disability.
Hobson pleaded guilty in 2006 to more than a dozen burglaries, including one at the home of Lynne Mansur of Alfred, Maine. He went to Alfred after his escape and bought clothes there, authorities said.
from her was her sense of security.
Mansur told The Associated Press earlier on Tuesday that the most valuable thing Hobson stole
"I'm scared and shaking and sleeping with all sorts of things around me," Mansur said, adding that she keeps knives, tear gas and an air horn near her bed. "I'm really thinking I just need to leave my head, and that's not right."
Mansur said she had been reassured by authorities that she wasn't one of the people Hobson was after. She was contacted by a victim advocate for the York County district attorney's office soon after Hobson's escape.
"It doesn't protect me, but it makes me feel like I'm not totally alone." Mansur said.
"David Glenn Hobson is not Houdini and he's not Whitey Bulger," March said before the capture, referring to the famous artist and the notorious Boston mob boss who was on the lam for more than 16 years.
March vowed earlier Tuesday that Hobson would be caught but that law enforcement officials would prefer he turn himself in so no one gets hurt.

HANNAH WISE/KANSAN
Sam Clark, a sophomore from Mcpherson, references the liturggy guide provided at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center. The guides are needed to help the congregation understand the new English translation of the Mass.
RELIGION
Catholics learn Mass after changes made
HANNAH WISE
hwise@kansan.com
Over the last several months, the Catholic church and its 65 million members in the United States have been preparing for a radical change in the English translation of the prayers said during Mass, which took place on Nov. 27.
"Over the last 40 years there have been a lot of changes that needed to be incorporated into the Mass," the Rev. Stevie Bescau said.
The changes to the English translation reflect a more accurate translation of the original Latin Roman Missal. Beseau said the translation changed almost what that the priests say during Mass and there are also changes in the congregation's praver responses.
Julia Fulbright, a senior from Lawrence, and Logan Fitz, a freshman from Wichita, grew up in Catholic families who attended Mass regularly. Both described their upbringing in the Catholic church as being very much like an extended family.
"I felt there was a connection," Fulbright said. "I am so happy that I grew up in a Catholic family because there was that community."
However, as Fulbright matured she grew distant from the Church. She described being expected to be the "Catholic one" from her family's five children and even attended Seton Hall, a Catholic university in New Jersey, before transferring to Kansas. While attending Seton Hall, she grew farther away from the church but still celebrates Mass with her family.
She said during Thanksgiving the changes in the Mass translation was discussed. Fulbright said that her cousin is in seminary school and told the family members that they could download an app on their phones to help keep with changes.
"If everyone is staring at their phones trying to follow the Mass, then they miss out the hand-holding and the community which is a big part of it," Fulbright said.
"You're comfortable with it",
Fulbright said. "In that way, I understand the change and maybe you have to think more about it."
However, she has not celebrated the Mass since the new translation has taken effect, but is curious to experience the changes.
For young Catholics growing up with the Mass, it was part of life. Fulbright said she could practically celebrate the Mass in her sleep before the translation was changed.
Fulbright said she would never use the phrase "and also with you," but the meaning made sense to her at church. The current translation is derived from the Latin phrase "et cum spiritu tuo," the Rev. Beeau said.
"The spirit is of not my soul but, to the holy spirit through my ordination as a priest." Beseau said.
The most noticeable change for the congregation is the change of the phrase "and also with you" to "and with your spirit" when responding to the priest.
Fitz attended Catholic schools from preschool to high school before arriving at Kansas. His faith was part of his daily life.
"It gave me a good foundation," Fitz said. "It gave me a way of looking at the world that other people don't have."
He attended his first Mass with the new translation over Thanksgiving. He said growing up he was taught the importance of the traditions in the Mass and that the new translation is very different.
"Although we are changing our traditions, we are changing them to be more literal to translations;" Fitz said. "It needed to be done, but it is still awkward."
The Rev. Beseau said that like anything, the change will take time. He said for most people, the changes will be good for increasing their understanding of the Mass. He said that the changes might even cause more people to come just out of curiosity.
"There was a lot of humor, laughter, a lot of humility when people mess up and even the priest. So I think that's been good," he said about the first Mass at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center with the changes.
"The people who experience it, they really like it," Beseau said.
Like anything new, it will take time for people to adapt. Besau said the St. Lawrence Center is not concerned about attendance numbers to drop or for students to lose interest because so many students want to know the Mass for when they are home with their families during winter break.

ODD NEWS
Malik's lawyer, Ayaz Bilawala, denied the nude cover photo was authentic and said Malik was wearing underwear throughout the entire shoot. He sent notice to the magazine and was filing papers in the Mumbai High Court demanding all copies of the magazine be removed from newsstands, he said. The suit was also seeking 100 million rupees ($2 million) in damages.
In a second photo, she is lying on a camouflage military helmet and in a third she is wearing what appears to be a green ammunition belt and pretending to pull the pin out of a grenade with her teeth. She appears to be topless in those images.
In the magazine's cover photo, Malik is shown wearing no clothing, but with her arms and legs discreetly positioned to keep her covered. She has the letters ISI stencilled on her arm, representing Pakistan's powerful spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
The photo essay appears to make light of the military rivalry between India and Pakistan, nuclear-armed neighbors who have fought three wars.
Pakistani actress sues magazine over provocative photos
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHI — Pakistani actress Veena Malik is suing a popular Indian men's magazine for millions of dollars, accusing it of publishing photos she says were doctored to make her appear nude, her lawyer said Monday.
Malik's racy images in the December issue of FHM India has triggered a fury across her conservative Islamic country, with one cleric calling them a "shame for all Muslims."
FHM India editor Kabeer Sharma insisted the photos were authentic and said he had just come out of a meeting with the magazine's lawyers where they watched the video of the photo session proving his case.
"She has been cheated, and there has been tampering, and the photographs have been morphed," he said. "She has not posed in the manner in which she has been shown."
He also disputed the magazine's assertion that it possessed a video of the shoot that would prove the photos were real.
"The allegations are entirely false and we are investigating various options, including a countersuit," he said.
"It's a considered decision on our part not to make that video public because of the nature of the video," he said.
Sharma said the magazine had received the legal notice.
Malik courted controversy last year when she participated in India's "Bigg Boss" reality show, where minor celebrities are locked in a house together. Conservative Pakistani clerics lambasted her both for appearing on a show in arch-rival India and for appearing to canoodle with an Indian actor in the house.

NBC stations team up with nonprofit stations
NBC affiliates in Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia will work with non-commercial outfits in those cities — KPCC public radio, the Chicago Reporter and WHY public radio and television, respectively — while all of the networks owned-and-operated stations will get early access to investigative reports from the independent, nonprofit newsroom Pro Publica. The arrangement comes as Comcast moves to fulfill its commitment to federal regulators to strengthen local, public-interest programming in the wake of its purchase of NBCUniversal earlier this year.
with nonprofit stations LOS ANGELES — Ten NBC-owned television stations across the nation will team with nonprofit news outlets in an attempt to beef up their enterprise and analytical reporting, the network announced Monday.
The partnerships also continue the trend toward content sharing throughout the media industry, as operators try to trim the high costs that come with producing stories on their own. The New York Times, for example, has expanded its editions in Chicago, San Francisco and other locations via publishing partnerships with nonprofit news outlets. In Los Angeles, Pasadena-based KPCC-FM (89.3) and NBCA each plan to use content produced by the other aid, in some cases, stories that the two outlets will develop together. Details and a starting time for the joint content programming remain to be worked out.
THE NEXT PANEL
KPCC Chief Executive Bill Davis said the for-profit station and his nonprofit radio outfit will be able to expand the size of their audiences and the reach of their reporting. "We can get to the kind of investigative and enterprise stories we wouldn't be able to singularly," Davis said.

Different alternatives in campus transportation
People get around campus in many different ways. However, the transportation options are limited to walking, taking the bus or riding your own bike around campus.
The bike rental option, a product of the entrepreneurship class and Student Senate, should be welcomed by students on campus. Riding a bike to class is an efficient way to get exercise while not being late for class and not hurting the environment with carbon emissions.
What if the university gave students more options to get to and from class? Thanks to the efforts of Student Senate, the ENTR 450 class, KU Parking and Transit and Hertz Car Rental, there will be two brand new alternatives available soon. Bike and car rentals. These are welcome choices for students whose needs are not completely satisfied with the conventional methods of transportation.
However, there are a few concerns that should be addressed. The bike racks on campus are usually at full capacity without rentals. The school should increase the amount of racks to accurately reflect the additional bike renters. Also, Student Senate should decide if the rental stations will be automated or manned, and how the University plans to ensure rented bikes are returned.
KU Parking and Transit and Hertz' car rental service won't affect on-campus parking since the plans call for only four rental cars. Hourly rates will be between $8 and $10. For about $62, the members can rent a car for the day.
With the rental service, a student can go online, rent a car, and pick up a friend who may be too intoxicated to drive home from the bars. Students with short work in nearby cities would be able to drive there at a much cheaper rate than taking a taxi. Anyone going to events in Kansas City now have a viable alternative to relying on someone else for the drive.
While the use of the service
by students is unclear right now, KU Painting and Transit should evaluate how the four cars are used and consider adding more if the service is a success.
Both of these are, as of yet, still on the horizon. However, stay informed and take advantage of both transportation options, once they become available. For more information about the car rental service, visit http://www.parking.ku.edu/hertzondemand/ . If you have questions about the bike rental program, contact Student Body President Libby Johnson at sbp@ku.edu.

RACISM
Speech helps society
This week, I saw several Facebook and Twitter posts about a video of a British woman on a train in London who made it very clear she was really, truly British, unlike the black passengers on the train, she said.
By Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com
The video showed this woman spewing words of hate toward the passengers on the bus she considered to be foreign because they were not of white, Anglo-Saxon descent.
As I watched the scene, my heart ached for the other passengers on the bus; for children on the bus; for the woman's own young son, who was sitting on her lap the entire time. I can't even imagine how the passengers she was speaking directly to, telling them to "go back where they came from," must have felt at that moment.
I later learned this woman was arrested on suspicion of a racially-aggravated offense. Her racism was disgusting and intolerable. And, I certainly understand if the state was taking issue with her child being in an environment of verbal abuse, although that is an unrelated point to the arrest. But the arrest got me thinking about our civil liberties.
This woman was arrested for stating her opinion, an opinion of racism that unfortunately has not been eradicated from society — but it is her opinion nonetheless. She was not inciting violence, though she was using obscenities in her speech.
Some might consider the woman's speech to be nonphysical violence. I'm not sure if we should put this in another category of verbal violence
that isn't the same as expressing an opinion, but that may be true. The arrest, though, was based on the suspicion that she was making racially discriminatory statements in public to people of another race.
Of course, the laws about public speech are very different in England than they are here. But in the U.S., this woman would not have been arrested.
There are plenty of people in our country, sadly, who tell people who appear to be foreign to "go back to where they came from." Though I find that to be an unfortunate opinion and rather rude and discriminatory, these people have every right to express their views and are protected by law.
The Supreme Court has upheld a fairly rigid right to free speech; there are some restrictions that are applied to commercial speech or situations that may compromise the civil rights of another individual, but as was clear earlier this year in Snyder v. Phelps, even "outrageous" speech can be protected in public settings. I value that freedom of speech, even if some use it destructively.
Even when the power of speech is used in a negative way, the freedom to do so can
bring good things. Several comments on the original YouTube video were almost as bad as the video itself. While it was disappointing that a discussion about the issue stirred up even more racist attitudes, it is important to note that people were posting the video all over social media
websites because they condemned her behavior. They found it to be sad and infuriating that racism still permeates our communities, and they felt compelled to share their frustration.
There were also several people in the video who stood up to the woman and stood in solidarity with their fellow passengers. Passengers told her to stop and that her behavior was unacceptable. One young man sitting behind the woman suddenly stood up and threw down his bag, but the other passengers calmed him down and encouraged him not to react in a way he might regret later.
As a young woman hugged this man, showing her support for him as he faced racism square in the face, it reminded me to look at this situation with hope and not defeat. People use free speech to express disturbing views, but it just compels us to come together to fight racism and discrimination in a constructive and peaceful way. In this way, freedom of speech contributes even indirectly to a more just and equitable society.

Google gives more options in music market
It is safe to say that we all enjoy music in one way or another. How we listen to it and where we get it varies from person to person. The options are endless: Frostwire, BitTorrent, Shareaza, iTunes, Rhapsody, Jamendo, CDs (if you're into that sort of thing) and now, Google's Android Market.
By Mike Montano
mmontano@kansan.com
Google is giving us just that. Instead of Apple's few free songs for the week, Google has a new free song everyday. If you are a Google + user, once you buy a song from Android Market, you can send it to a friend and let them listen to the entire song once for free. Even though you can listen to more than 30 seconds of a song on iTunes, you can't preview the entire song. Who knows if I'm about to purchase an instrumental song with just tambourines and a triangle because the partial song I'm previewing on iTunes has some vocals during the part of the song I actually get to hear?
I am a dedicated iTunes user because it's simple and it streams seamlessly to my other iGadgets. With that being said, it is nice to have options and
Google entices us with some new features like a new car enticing us with massage seats but then takes away the "new car smell" by not offering music by all of our favorite artists. Sony Music, Universal Music and EMI Group Ltd. have all joined with Google but not Warner Music Group. Some of WMG's current artists are Muse, Neil Young, Michael Bublé, Alanis Morissette, Prince, and Green Day. Though there are additional smaller record labels that have their artist's music for purchase through the Android Market but as Alanis would say
I wouldn't.
of Google's lack of music on their music store, "Isn't it ironic...don't you think?"
Another downside of Google's music store is the inability to buy television shows. Now if you were to check out Android Market versus iTunes, you won't see much of a difference. There are books, movies, artist bios, top songs and options that you can find in both online stores. But not being able to buy most if not all of your media entertainment from a site is a bit of a detraction.
Being able to purchase music on iTunes or Android Market is like having heated seats or a
6-disc CD changer in a car. You don't need to use either of them but it's nice to know they're there in case you do. Luckily it's not much of a commitment to buy a $1.29 song compared to a car but it's still money; money that companies are hoping we spend with them.
In today's economy, it's clear to see that the consumer is the one with the power so I say to take as many music stores as you want for a test drive and choose the one with the best options.

Game to remember
Jeff Withey, Junior
Withey
Robinson comes in at a close second place here, but Withey was one block shy of a triple-double and earned this spot through aggression and consistency.
M.
Withey's doubters have claimed that he's too soft and lacks the passion to become a great player. In the second half, he absorbed contact by the paint, forcing one of his teeth through his upper lip. Withey left for the locker room, then returned to the game with the same passion he displayed before the blood. Sound soft to you?
Game to forget
Elijah Johnson,
Junior
Perhaps readers should get used to seeing Johnson in this spot. This marks three games in a row here for the streaky guard with to much on his mind. He
fouled out in just 23 minutes played, surrendered four turnovers and was generally unimpressive as a scorer. Teahan has outplayed Johnson since the return from Mauli and could replace him in the starting lineup. If Johnson can bounce back against Ohio State on Saturday, all will be forgotten. However his 23 points against UCLA is looking more like an outlier than something to depend on.

2:09- Tyshawn Taylor drives the lane, finds and opening and is fouled. His layup drops in as well as the free-throw and Kansas extends the lead to 80-72.
Withey provides an unexpectedly strong presence
Jeff Withey has probably never felt as good on a college basketball court as he did on Tuesday night in his team's 88-80 win over Long Beach State. He finished with career highs in both rebounds and blocked shots during the best game of his college career. Coach Bill Self thought he was the best player in the game, and his stellar performance wasn't completely expected.
The junior center played just 6.2 minutes per game last season and saw just 3.0 minutes of action per contest as a freshman. This season has been significantly different for the former Arizona transfer. Withey is averaging 22.6 minutes per game and has started every time out. On Tuesday night, however, everything seemed to click. Withey played 31 minutes and fell just one block short from a triple-double. He finished
The 13 rebounds and nine blocks were career highs for the former stand-out high school center from San Diego, Calif. His happy-go-lucky attitude he often carries around was a far cry from his on-the-court performance Tuesday, where he altered shots and grabbed loose balls with reckless abandon. He however reverted back to his quiet personality after the game.
"I didn't realize I was that close until towards the end of the game." Withey said of his near-triple-double.
When asked about his close proximity to a triple-double, he shrugged his shoulders and said he will just have to try some other time. He said the ball was just "flying his way" during the game. The real answer probably has more to do
with the insistence on aggressiveness from coaches in practice and the inevitability that a player with Withey's size and skill will eventually have a game like this, in which he dominates the paint on both ends of the court. He said he had never really been in a close, late game situation like Tuesday night's affair. The 22 Kansas turnovers were a season high and Long Beach State got within four points with under 45 seconds to play. Luckily for Jayhawk fans, their 7-foot center had a personal career-high game.
"He was a presence inside," Self said. "He did a really good job at blocking and altering. I thought Jeff was a really big factor, no question about it."

Coach search halted as coach jobs open up
MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
While coaching searches across the country remain in limbo, the Kansas coaching search appears to have been placed on pause. And it's not by choice that the coaching search has had to come to a halt, it's the other job openings across the country that have forced Kansas athletics director Sheahon Zenger to take a break.
When Texas A&M fired its coach, Mike Sherman, its targets directly conflicted and delayed the Kansas coaching search. Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora, a College Station, Texas, native, appeared to be a top choice for Kansas. When Fedora's Golden Eagles beat the University of Houston 49-28, the coach soared on everybody's radar across the country.
As Texas A&M pushed toward Fedora, North Carolina looked at him as well. While there have been multiple unconfirmed reports of both North Carolina and Texas A&M having interviewed with Fedora, there have been none connected than Kansas to the coach who was, at one point, a listed favorite for the Kansas job.
So, while Fedora works out his future position, Zenger has supposedly been forced to wait to make a move.
He's been traveling since last Wednesday, interviewing candidates and looking for the right man. And if Zenger believes Fedora is the right man, he will not make a move until he is sure that
Fedora is off the board. Zenger could still move before any official word is released on Fedora, if he receives word that Fedora is out of reach for Kansas.
Phillip Fulmer
While the waiting game continues, new names have popped up in relation to the Kansas coaching job.
While Phillip Fulmer is not truly a new name for Kansas - he interviewed for the opening two years ago — he's one name that has recently come onto the radar for Kansas. The former Tennessee coach had a 152-52 record in 13 seasons with the Volunteers. He won a national championship for Tennessee in 1998.
MORE NEW NAMES
The main drawback for Fulmer would be his age. At 61, Fulmer doesn't fit the mold as the man that would build a long-term dynasty at Kansas.
Trov Calhoun
Troy Calhoun is a master of the triple-option offense and has appeared to have blipped onto the Jayhawks' radar.
The triple option offense is rare and can often be tough for opposing teams to prepare for, which would give the Jayhawks a leg up in Big 12 and non conference play. Georgia Tech has had success with the triple option offense, going 34-18 under triple-option specialist Paul Johnson.

Frostbite causes runner to lose limbs
CROSS COUNTRY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A campus police report provides new details about why an All-American cross-country runner from the University of Alaska Anchorage spent three days alone in the freezing woods and had to have his feet amputated. It said he went for a run because he was feeling despondent and passed out under a tree.
Marko Cheseto, 28, of Kenya, disappeared from the university Nov. 6. He was suffering from hypothermia and severe frostbite to his feet when he staggered into the lobby of an Anchorage hotel three days later.
He was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, two jackets and running shoes, but no hat or gloves. His shoes were frozen to his feet.
A university police report obtained under an open records request by The Associated Press said Chestoet told officers he woke up the morning of Nov. 6 and sought out his roommate. He wanted to tell him he was
"having to struggle to get through life," but his roommate had to work.
"He told me that he felt like no one had been able to understand how difficult things had been for him, and that everyone basically just said, 'Hang in there,' the officer's report said.
Cheseto's despondency grew.
The report had sections redacted and didn't elaborate on Cheseto's problems.
Cheseto was a top runner on his team but took last season off following the suicide of his close friend, teammate and fellow Kenyan William Ritekwiang.
Ritekwiang was found dead in February in his apartment near campus.
Michael Friess, the university's head cross country and track and field coach, said Cheseto received counseling after Ritekwiang's death and was still being treated when he took his run in the woods.
The report said Cheset began his run the afternoon of Nov. 6 on a popular trail, covered in snow this time of year. He took a left turn off the trail and ran into the woods, where he told police he passed out under a tree.
When he awoke it was snowing. He didn't have much snow on his upper body, but his legs were buried in snow. He realized his feet were frozen.
The report says Cheseto lay there for about another half-hour and realized he was getting even colder. He told police he pulled himself up by holding onto a tree. He started to do exercises to get some feeling back into his legs so he could walk out of the woods.
He walked toward the sound of cars and eventually walked into a hotel lobby, where employees rushed him over to a fireplace, put a blanket on him and called 911.
"It is hard to understand depression," Friess said. "Yes, he was in the wrong place, he fell down, you could describe it. But in my opinion the strongest aspect is that he got up.
us," Friess said.
Details from the university police report first appeared in The Northern Lights campus newspaper.
Cheseto, a long-distance runner working on a nursing degree, disappeared a day after the university cross-country team's triumphant return to Anchorage from the NCAA Division II West Region Championships in Spokane, Wash. The Seawolves won every championship up for grabs at the meet.
Cheseto had won the West Region Championships in cross country in 2009 and 2010. He had used his final season of cross-country eligibility but was expected to compete in spring track.
Patrick Cohn, a sports psychology expert and founder of Peak Performance Sports in Orlando, Fla., said it can be a difficult process for student athletes as they move toward careers in other fields.
"When they stop they lose that identity. 'Who am I? Not the student athlete." Cohn said.

Pedophile admits to sexually abusing boy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine — A man who accused former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting him admitted Monday that he sexually abused a boy in Maine.
Zach Tomaselli, of Lewiston, told The Associated Press that he sexually abused the boy when the victim was 13 and 14 years old. Tomaselli said he knew the boy and worked as a counselor at a camp the boy attended.
Now that he's getting counseling, Tomaselli said he understands that he was subconsciously grooming the boy for a relationship, as is often the case with pedophiles. He said he's glad that he was caught before the abuse became worse, so that he can get help.
Tomaselli, 23, became the third man to level sexual abuse allegations
against Fine when he told police in Syracuse that Fine first molested him in a Pittsburgh hotel room in 2002. He said Fine — who has denied any wrongdoing but was fired by the university — showed him porn, fondled him and watched him shower naked.
"The only thing that transpired was the same stuff that happened to me." Tomaselli said of his relationship with the teenage boy in Maine. "This kid has been through a lot because of the way I controlled him and abused him."
Tomaselli has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges including gross sexual assault, tampering with a victim and unlawful sexual contact.
But he said he anticipates that he'll plead guilty in Superior Court and that a plea bargain is in the works. The plea bargain calls for him to serve three years, or perhaps less,
in prison and to register as a sex offender for life, he said.
"I don't really see any other way at this point," he said.
Tomasell's lawyer went to court last week seeking to suppress his confession to police. Defense lawyer Justin Leary said the confession was coerced by a detective after a lengthy interview, and the judge hadn't ruled on the motion as of Monday.
On Monday, Tomaselli said he was "sick of hiding behind my attorney."
Leary declined comment Monday evening on his client's comments to the AP.
Tomaselli also has said that he was abused by his father, Fred Tomaselli, and that he went to police about it in June in upstate New York. No charges were filed, and Fred Tomaselli said the allegations were "totally unfounded."
he's taking responsibility and doesn't want to blame Fine or his father for his actions in Lewiston, where he lives with his grandmother.
Tomaselli said he and the victim disagree on some details but most of the accusations were true. He said he fondled the boy once when the boy was 13 and a couple more times when he was 14.
On Monday, Zach Tomaselli said
"Pretty much everything he said is absolutely right." Tomasell said.
Tomaselli said the relationship was consensual and there were no threats.
He acknowledged, however, that he created a fake Facebook account to manipulate the victim and that he even allowed the victim to believe the Facebook friend died of cancer. He said his judgment was hampered by a powerful narcotic, Oxycodone, which he said he was taking for severe headaches.

Four signees to join the Kansas rowing team
GEOFFREY BERGSTROM editor@kansan.com
Four athletes signed national letters of intent to join the rowing team at Kansas next season, KU Athletics announced Tuesday. All four will attend the University of Kansas and will be eligible to compete next fall.
Casey Kelly from Gladstone, Mo., Briana Piña from Wichita, Hannah Arch from Lawrence and Breeona Foster from Pleasant Hill, Mo., are all high school seniors who will be rowing under coach Rob Catloth for the 2012-13 season.
Although none of the recruits have ever rowed competitively, Cat-
loth believes that they will have an immediate impact on the team. All four of the girls have played multiple years of high school sports and therefore possess athletic ability.
Arch, who is team co-captain for her senior season, is a three-year letterwinner at Free State High School for the swim team and placed 6th place at the state.
Kelly's athleticism stems from her
"Hannah has good height and because of her swimming background it should be an easy transition to rowing," said Catloth. "Swimming is a good changeover to rowing because they both have similar training."
four years of playing high school volleyball for Winnetonka High School.
"We're excited about her athletic potential," said Catloth. "She will provide some great depth to our novice program in her first year."
Foster, two-time all-conference basketball player, excelled during her time at Pleasant Hill High School. Last year, during her junior campaign, Foster helped her team reach the State quarterfinals.
"She's a really strong athlete who should make an impact very early on in her rowing career," Catloth said.
Pina participated in cross country and track & field at Goddard High
School, but she was recruited by Catloth to be the coxswain on the boat. The coxswain sits at the front and keeps the rowers together.
"We are really impressed with the leadership that she has shown," Catloth said. "We hope she will continue to use that leadership in the boat."
There are eight senior rowers graduating in the spring, so the team is thankful for the new recruits and are hoping to see more signees later in the signing season.

Sophomore accumulates third off-season honor
The off-season awards keep piling up for Caroline Jarmoc.
The sophomore middle blocker collected her third honor in the last week on Tuesday when she was given an honorable mention on the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Central Region team. Jarmoc was the first Kansas volleyball player since Josi Lima in 2003 to be selected for the team.
Jarmoc's 1.12 blocks per set led the Jayhawks in out-blocking their opponents for the season (2.6/2.0 blocks per set) for the first time in 13
seasons. Last week, jarmoc was given an honorable mention on the All-Big 12 Conference Team and collected the last Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award of the season.

Bill Synder named runaway pick for Big 12 conference coach of the year
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Bill Snyder retired six years ago convinced that he was done with coaching college football. He wanted to spend more time with his family, make up for all of his kids' ballgames and ballets that he missed while building Kansas State to unprecedented heights.
The 72-year-old coach came back to the sidelines three years ago rejuvenated. And in that short of time he did the unthinkable: Snyder returned his once-mighty program to the national consciousness.
On Tuesday, he was the runaway pick as the AP's Big 12 coach of the year.
Snyder was selected on 16 of the 17 ballots turned in by media members who regularly cover the league. Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State, which won the Big 12 championship
"I am extremely proud of our coaches and the young men in our program for working and preparing each day to get better," Snyder said in a statement to the AP. "The success we have had to this point in the season has been a direct result of that, and I appreciate very much their willingness to work and achieve the goals that we set out each day to accomplish."
Picked to finish eighth in the conference, the No. 11 Wildcats (10-2) instead finished eighth in the BCS. They were bypassed by the Sugar Bowl for two teams with lesser resumes, but will still play No. 7 Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, one of four matchups between top-10 teams in the BCS standings.

That magical season was the culmination of his first rebuilding job, one that virtually nobody thought possible. The worst program in the history of college football had been winneless in 27 games, and hadn't won a conference championship in more than five decades. Friends begged the non-descript offensive coordinator from Iowa not to take the job.
year — he also was the AP's national coach of the year in 1998, when the Wildcats were within a double-overtime loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12 title game of playing for the national championship.
By his fifth season, Snyder had Kansas State winning its first bowl game. Five more years passed and the school rose to the doorstep of the national title. Five more years went by and the Wildcats knocked off then-No. 1 Oklahoma for the Big 12 championship on a cold night at Arrowhead Stadium.

Big 12 conference to keep championship game
LETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Athletic directors from the Big 12 schools reaffirmed their commitment to hosting the Big 12 Basketball Championships in Kansas City, Mo., after finishing two days of meetings in New York City on Tuesday.
The athletics directors from all eight current members of the Big 12 and the two newest members were in attendance. The timing of the meeting coincided with Tuesday evening's National Football Hall of Fame Banquet.
"Kansas City has a rich college basketball history and remains an attractive destination for our men's championship," said Jamie Pollard, Big 12 Conference athletics director chairman and Iowa State University athletics director, in a press release. "It is an integral part of the Big 12 footprint and staging
our championship at Sprint Center reinforces the strong presence of the Conference in the greater Kansas City area."
There was concern the Big 12 would move its basketball championship elsewhere after Missouri left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference in November.
The athletic directors also discussed football scheduling options, the BCS and other matters at the meetings.
The Big 12 Men's Basketball championship is scheduled to remain in Kansas City, Mo., through 2014.
This announcement comes a month after the conference announced the LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan., would hold the 2013 and 2014 Big 12 women's soccer championship.

Olympic organizers may exceed budget, cautioned UK auditors
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — U.K. Olympic organizers run a risk of exceeding their 9.3 billion-pound ($14.6 billion) budget for hosting the 2012 London games and have little room left for unforeseen costs. Britain's spending watchdog warned Tuesday.
The National Audit Office report concluded that while the venues are on time and largely complete, "not everything is rosy". The report came as British Olympic officials announced that they had doubled the funding for security operations at venues, raising overall security costs for the 2012 Games to more than 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion).
"The government is confident that there is money available to meet
known risks, but, in my view, the likelihood that the games can still be funded within the existing 9.3 billion-pound public sector funding package is so finely balanced that there is a real risk more money will be needed," said Amyas Morse, the head of the National Audit Office.
If thats the case, Olympic officials would be heading back hat in hand to British taxpapers who are already embroiled in tough economic times. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development expects the U.K. economy to contract in this current quarter and in the first three months of 2012 and grow only 0.5 percent next year.
Britain's National Audit Office, an independent organization, examines public spending on behalf
of Parliament.
Just hours before the report, Olympics minister Hugh Robertson told reporters at a news conference that the London Games remained financially on track — and within budget contingency planning despite the increased security costs. But the new security costs will certainly become a sensitive political issue.
"We're confident we can do this and remain on budget," Robertson said.
But the auditors noted that only 500 million pounds ($785 million) remains unallocated for dealing with future costs — a fact that will alarm ministers already trying to stem public anger over cuts in pensions, social services and national programs, Security and transport costs
figured among the question marks in the future.
The increase comes after security reviews suggested the initial estimate of 10,000 security guards for the games would not be enough. Thousands of soldiers are now part of the planning, though officials have declined to reveal the exact number.
Robertson made clear that security was not a negotiable item and that the British government was obligated to make sure it took every precaution to make the July 27-Aug. 12 event safe.
The government said an additional 271 million pounds ($424 million) has been allocated to making venues and other sensitive sites, such as hotels, more secure. That means the total cost of securing the venues has
climbed to over 553 million pounds ($862 million).
But the rise announced Monday only deals with security guards and other measures needed to protect the venues and related sites. That money is in addition to the cost of paying police and others services to provide overall security for the games. Although Britain's Home Office initially budgeted 600 million pounds ($940 million) for that, that number has been trimmed to 475 million pounds ($745 million).
Authorities say they could only come up with a figure after complex arrangements to actually stage the games were in place. Robertson said an evolving security picture also played a role, suggesting that planners could not have known about
the Arab Spring, for example, when first making their plans. He insisted that the British riots last summer, however, did not play a role in the funding increase.
But Tony Travers, a government expert at the London School of Economics, said the riots will serve to spook politicians about planning for "the unknown unknown."
"Security and transport are clearly by a long way the remaining unknown elements in the Olympics being delivered," Travers said. "Security for cost reasons and transport for uncertainty of effectiveness reasons."
Auditors also expressed concern about the failure to finalize transport plans around the venues, pushed back from November to March.

Advice on how to manage the clock well
MORNING BREW
Dear football coaches,
I know I'm not one of your kind.
My only experience playing football came in middle school. I was an offensive guard for a lightweight team. With a body more appropriate for math problems, I "blocked" people by grabbing their jerseys and not letting go.
I know you don't have many job openings on your staffs, especially in these tough economic times. I can't help you call plays, manage the depth chart or control egos.
So why should you hire me? I can help you in one area that seemingly no coach understands: clock management.
Another week came in the NFL, and another coach made himself look silly by managing the clock in laughable fashion. Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was this week's culprit.
With 26 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and tied 13-13 against the Cardinals, the Cowboys found themselves at the Arizona 31-yard-line. They had two timeouts left.
Instead of using a timeout and running a few plays to potentially make life easier for kicker Dan Bailey, Garrett
By Clark Goble editor@kansan.com
decided to let the clock tick. And tick.
And tick. Quarterback Tony Romo non-
chalantly snapped the ball and spiked it
with seven seconds remaining.
The kicking unit marched onto the field, prepping for a game-winning 49-yard attempt. The Cowboys' special teams coaches thought the unit wouldn't be ready before the play clock expired, so Garrett signaled in a timeout.
The play continued before the timeout was acknowledged, and Bailey made the field goal that didn't count, as he needed to do for the sake of the coaches-can't-manage-the-clock narrative. About a minute later, Bailey missed the one that mattered and "America's Team" lost in overtime.
Monday Morning Quarterbacks and talking heads roared about Garrett "icing his own kicker" with the timeout, but I don't have a problem with that. Here's the real issue: Garrett opted to let his rookie kicker try a tense 49-yarder instead of using his timeouts and potentially moving it 10 to 15 yards closer.
Collectively, coaches are pretty old. At 45, Garrett is one of the youngest guys in the business.
I could, and I did.
You're all old enough that you couldn't sit in your basement as 12-year-olds and play hours upon hours of Madden and NCAA Football video games.
You didn't set up two-minute-drill scenarios in those video games and replay them over and over until your parents pried the controller from your fatigued fingers.
And you don't have the ability to watch the endings of tons of games each week, breaking down exactly how the clock should be managed.
I did.
1, thank goodness, have the NFL RedZone Channel.
Here's my proposal: I'll serve as your "Clock Management Consultant." I don't expect wages. A few team jackets and a press conference name drop would work just fine.
KU
Heck, if you're worried about how the media will portray the hiring of a college student as a clock consultant,
I'll sit in the front row behind the bench with an earpiece and manage the clock while eating nachos.
I'll be waiting for your call. If you won't hire me, please play some Madden and figure out how to manage the clock. Or hire somebody under the age of 25.

COMMENTARY Forwards battling for victory
Historic Allen Fieldhouse will host Saturday's much anticipated heavyweight fight. Heavyweight bouts without a title on the line aren't sexy, but they are still nothing to scoff at. The pending duel between Thomas Robinson and Ohio State's star player Jared Sullinger (assuming Sullinger plays) has more on the line than just a victory.

Both of these players were recognized as preseason All-Americans by college basketball pundits. Sullinger and Robinson understand their value as players and that their performances dictate the fate of their teams. As nationally identified elite players, Robinson and Sullinger have a bulls-eye attached to their names, which means opponents will aim to knock them out. On Saturday, the slobberkicker between Sullinger and Robinson should bring the best out of both players because they know that the sports nation will give its undived attention to witness the star-studded contest, and perception will change based on their performance. Both Robinson and Sullinger strive to be the top forward in the nation, and they both know that if they want to be considered the best, they must play their best against other great players to live up to all American leaders.
It will be a pugnacious war of attrition, might and strength between Sullinger and Robinson. Whoever can land more uppercuts and hay-makers will triumph and seize glory.
Edited by Jason Bennett
The bout won't be decided based only on who recorded better statistics and won the game, but also how they got their teammates involved. Because Robinson and Sullinger will draw double-teams and buckets will be hard to come by, they must find their teammates so their offense can operate accordingly. The title of the Beatles song "With a Little Help from My Friends" says it all. Robinson and Sullinger cannot win the match single-handedly. Other marquee and role players must step up and alleviate Sullinger and Robinson's workload.

MORE ANALYSIS AND STATS INSIDE
For Robinson and Sullinger, the bout on Saturday is personal. During the offseason, Robinson and Sullinger participated in the Lebron James Skills Academy and the Amare Stoudemire Skills Academy. Both players battled against each other and made an impression on the national media, fellow college basketball players and NBA players. Since the summer camps, Robinson has had the Ohio State game circled on his calendar solely because of his matchup against Sullinger. Both players respect each other, but they are vying for supremacy and bragging rights.
Robinson and Sullinger's NBA Draft stock is through the roof, and a future big fat paycheck is in store for them as long as they play superbly. Both players want to prove that they are more deserving of a bigger paycheck and a higher draft selection. Whoever plays better in this fight will create a lot of buzz in the NBA community, and the national media will center its attention on the winner.
NEW FACES ARISE IN SEARCH FOR TURNER GILL'S REPLACEMENT PAGE 8
KANSAS,88 LONG BEACH STATE, 80
OUTSIDE THE PAINT
Robinson improves his shooting
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
When junior forward Thomas Robinson shot the ball from outside the paint last season, spectators turned their heads in shame and blamed NBA scouts for his experimentation. Now, when Robinson fires away, those same spectators can breathe easy and expect a swish, or at least something close to it.
Robinson's eight-for-eight start from the field appeared rather routine. A jumper from the left elbow. Another from behind the free throw line.
"As much I worked on it, I'm going to be honest with myself," Robinson said. "Don't expect me to come out seven-for-seven every night."
Robinson's shots kept falling and the Jayhawks seemed to be on their way to an easy victory.
But that was the first half.
Long Beach State augmented the pressure in the second half Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse and No. 13 Kansas (6-2) snuck away with a 88-80 victory that never should have been so close.
"That was a game we had won several times," coach Bill Self said. "Our inability to think, pass, catch or execute at all in late-game situations was the reason the game was close late."
The 49ers scored 25 points off 16 turnovers by the Jayhawks in the second half. Errant passes flew with regularity, especially when Long Beach State coach Dan Monson crafted a mild full-court press. But Robinson had an explanation for his team's carelessness with the ball.
"It's that ADD again," he
said. "That's all it was. It kicked in, I caught it, a couple of our guys caught it."
Senior guard Conner Teahan said that the team worries too much about previous mistakes and that it still proves its inexperience each game.
"Sometimes people try to get in a mode where they're trying to make extraordinary plays," Teahan said. "It's a combination of easy plays that make a great play."

The lack of caution shrunk the team's lead and forced Self to stick with his starters at the end of the game. Despite the comeback attempt and constant double teams, the 49ers never found a way to slow Robinson, who finished with a career high 26 points and 11 rebounds, his seventh double-double in eight games this season.
Junior center Jeff Withey complemented Robinson in the paint by altering shots and fighting for rebounds. He left the game briefly in the second half when contact with the hoop forced one of his teeth through his lip. He dealt with the blood, returned to the game and finished with 13 points, 13 rebounds and 9 blocks, one block shv of a triple-double.
"Oh well," Withey said of the triple-double. "I guess I'll try for another one."
For all the blood, comebacks, contact and ADD, it was Robinson's show. He's a shooter now, and Saturday's visitor, No. 2 Ohio State, may want to take notice.
"We wanted Robinson to try to beat us from the perimeter," Monson said. "He certainly did that."

How a team responds after suffering its first loss of the season is telling of the rest of the year.
After losing to Alabama 80-76 on Sunday, the Kansas women's basketball team cited reason for the defeat and what it can improve on.
Following extensive looks at the tape, coach Bonnie Henrickson said poor positional defense led to Kansas trailing for most of the game.
This was the first game of the year where the Jayhawks trailed by a large margin and being in a deficit led to the coaching staff to only use six players for 20 or more minutes.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich drives down the court during the second half of a game against SMU at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas is now 9-1 for the season.
"We were playing from behind on the road and we haven't played from behind all year," Henrickson said. "You're going to go back to the guys that have been there before and give you the best chance to win."
assists.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich proved to be the player Kansas relied on more than anyone and played the entire 40 minutes of the contest. She ended the game with a near triple-double of seven points, nine rebounds and 12
CHRIS BRONSON/KANSAN
But Goodrich was too much into the flow of the game to notice her extended role.
Both Goodrich and sophomore forward Tania Jackson also commented on the quickness of the Alabama players. Both players see plenty of quality athletes in the Big 12, but the Crimson Tide showed off SEC speed on Sunday.
"To be honest I didn't know I played 40 minutes," Goodrich said.
As the layhawks move into the last few game of their non-conference schedule on Thursday, they know that one thing they should eliminate are turnovers.
This has been a growing problem for Kansas, but all they can do is continue to work it out in practice.
"We need to be able to take care of the ball in practice and build up the confidence that we're not going to turn the ball over in the game," Goodrich said.
Jackson followed Goodrich's sentiment.
"We feel pretty good. I think we have that experience from everyone coming back last year."
Jackson said. "I think we had enough experience to pull out the win, we just fell short."
Jackson continues to be a key contributor off the bench for
Kansas. But even when she's not playing, Jackson cheers harder than anyone and provides insight to other players on the bench.
"My communication is more of
a distinctive role" Jackson said. "If I'm not communicating it, everyone can see it."

The thermostat reads 82 degrees. A rice cooker steams dumplings in the corner of the kitchen. The Wens apartment feels comfortable on a brisk, December night. But when the dumplings are gone and the temperature drops, the costs come out in their home at 1810 Bagley Drive, in the Stouffer Place Apartments.
When winter comes to Stouffler Place, residents — especially those living in the non-renovated apartments — do what they can to keep warm. Some put tin foil, duct tape, blankets or saran wrap over their windows. Others huddle around secret space heaters that Student Housing, which operates the complex, prohibits.
THOMAS COUNTY HOSPITAL
Shirong Wen takes four steps to cross the tiny apartment he shares with
his wife and son. He squats down by a closed window and places his hand next to visible gaps. Night air rushes over his hand. Wen said he pays $150 gas bills in the winter months to keep his family warm.
Shirong, whose wife Fengli is a doctoral student in physics at
the University, has lived in 11 different apartments since coming to the U.S. from Beijing, China. These places include student housing at Louisiana State University and Kent State.
Stouffer Place is "the worst, absolutely," he said

As the Scheweda-Stoskop family climbed out of their sedan, the kids begged to go to the pool later that day. Their parents simply said they would talk about it later. This situation is not uncommon for families. The only difference some people may see is instead of a mom and a dad,the kids are talking to their two dads.
Evan and Ken Scheweda-Stoskopf dated for two years and then married in Iowa this May. The couple did not have much choice about where they would be married because Iowa is the only state a reasonable distance from their home in Overland Park that will recognize and perform same-sex marriages.
"The way that we tell other people is that we met online," Evan said. "It turned out that we had one date and we've never really left the other person's side since then."

HEALTH
Sex cells: selling body fluids
ALEXA RUSH
arush@kansan.com
Empty pockets, wallets and bank accounts signal the end of the fall semester. Taking a job over break or spending less money on gifts tend to be common ways to solve a cash shortage, but there is another, rather unorthodox, solution. Although controversial, selling one's body cells can ease financial woes.
Donating sperm, ova and plasma are ways students can earn money doing little work, while also helping someone in the process.
Reproductive Resource Center, located at 12200 W. 106th St. #120 in Overland Park, offers a program in which healthy women ages 21 to 33 can donate ova to benefit infertile women. Donors must not smoke, be of healthy body weight and have regular menstrual cycles. They undergo pre-screening and medical reviews, which can take a few weeks.
Once the eggs are harvested and approved for donation, donors can receive up to $4,000 compensation. The donated ovum is then matched with a recipient and is fertilized in vitro. meaning the eggs are fertilized in a laboratory before being placed into the mother's womb.
Katie Yohe, a sophomore from Mulvane, said donating ova can be a good inove, but not just for the sake of money.
"I definitely want to have kids in the future, and if for some reason I couldn't, I know that I would definately appreciate someone donating so that I could have kids," she said. "The money wouldn't be the biggest reward for me. It's the fact that I'm helping someone."
Nursing supervisor of Student Health Services, Patty Quinlan, said that although donating reproductive cells may help individuals get pregnant who otherwise are unable, there are risks involved. "It can be time consuming with the medical screenings, and there can be multiple short-term risks as well," Quinlin said.
Men over the age of 18 have the option of sperm donation. Clinics and sperm banks have different requirements as to who can donate, but usually men must be at least 5-foot-9, currently be attending or already graduated from college, and be in good health and at a healthy weight, since these qualities usually correlate with healthy sperm. Donors must also agree to testing for sexually transmitted diseases and other illnesses. When donating sperm, a $50 to $100 compensation for each specimen is the average.
"I feel like it'd be kind of strange not being able to father a child that's biologically mine," said Whitaker. "But, I imagine if a couple can't have children by other means, then it seems like a good cause. I would probably lean towards adoption personally though, since there are already children in need of loving parents."
When asked if donating sperm is a viable financial option for male students, Kyle Whitaker, a junior from Shawne, said that he didn't feel it was something he did.
Quinlan cautioned students to think about the full implications of donating sperm and ova. Of course, money talks, but other issues such as custody agreements, anonymity, and the fact that you may have a biological child should be considered thoroughly before taking action. Researching the clinic's requirements about anonymity, custody agreements and other legal matters is essential.
Yohe, on the other hand, didn't think that confidentiality or custody issues would be a concern of hers.
"I suggest that an attorney be involved when donating," Quinlan said.
ZLB Plasma, located at 816 W. 24th St., offers a less controversial way to earn easy money by donating plasma. Plasma cannot be manufactured or created in a lab and it can take more than 1,000 donations to supply one adult with enough plasma for a full year, making peoples' donations crucial. The compensation for donating plasma ranges from $25 to $40 per visit. People can donate up to two
"I don't feel like it would really be my child. It would be theirs, because they carried it, had the sperm to go with it, and they are the ones that would raise it," she said. "It's like when you give someone blood, you don't say, 'Well, that's my blood, so I'm part of you'."
times a week. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, be at least 18 years old, live within 125 miles of a donation center and have proof of identity. The donor cannot have a tattoo or piercing newer than 12 months old.
Quinlan said there are potential side effects such as fatigue, vomiting and fainting associated with donating plasma. But it can also be a greater social good.
"When you donate plasma, you're donating for someone else's medical needs," Quinlan said.

SANTIAGO, CHILE
Researchers in Chile released a series of time-lapse photos on Wednesday showing the dramatic retreat of a glacier in Patagonia.
The Jorge Montt Glacier is shrinking faster than any other in Chile, glaciologist Andres Rivera said, with its snout retreating 1 kilometer (more than half a mile) between February 2010 and January 2011.
Rivera said that global warming is a factor and that the glacier also is melting especially quickly because it partly rests in the waters of a growing florid.
LONDON
Researchers presented a video showing the glacier's yearlong retreat through a total of 1,445 time-lapse photos.
The glacier is about 1,800 kilometers (1,100 miles) south of Santiago in the Southern Patagonia ice Field, which blankets a wide swath of the Andes between Chile and Argentina.
British police have arrested an 18th suspect in their investigation into phone hacking by the News of the World tabloid, the Rupert Murdoch-owned U.K. paper shut down earlier this year.
The 41-year-old man was held Wednesday on suspicion of conspiring to intercept voice mail messages and pervert the course of justice, London's Metropolitan Police said.
The man's name was not released, but media including Sky News — which is 39 percent owned by Murdoch's News Corp. — identified him as Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator who was previously jailed for hacking into the voicemail messages of royal staff while working for the News of the World.
Police said later the man had been questioned at a police station in south London and released on police bail until late March, pending further investigations.
CAIRO
Egypt's military rulers said Wednesday the next parliament will not be representative enough to independently oversee the drafting of a constitution, and they will appoint a council to check the influence of religious extremists on the process.
The announcement followed a surprisingly strong showing by Islamist groups who took the overwhelming majority in the first round of parliamentary elections. The outcome caused concern among the liberals who drove Egypt's uprising and the military, which took power from ousted leader Hosni Mubarak.
"We are in the early stages of democracy," said Gen. Mukhtar Mulla, a member of the ruling military council. "The parliament is not representing all sectors of society."
In theory, the new parliament will be entrusted with forming a 100-member constituent assembly to write the new constitution.
KARIII
The fallout from this week's deadly suicide bombing in Kabul has further splintered Afghanistani's relations with neighboring Pakistan and set back the U.S.-led military campaign to stabilize the region before international troops leave at the end of 2014.
The attack that killed 56 people and wounded more than 160 others outside a Shiite shrine highlighted a marked decline in security in the Afghan capital over the past year. Afghan forces, who have been in charge of security in Kabul for more than a year, have had successes in foiling plots and minimizing casualties, but insurgents increasingly slip through checkpoints and conduct complex assaults.
Ties between Afghanistan and Pakistan were already frayed when President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday blamed a Pakistan-based extremist group for the bombing at the shrine.

Lawmakers resolve to sniff out landfill odor
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island residents have complained for weeks about foul odors wafting from the state's main landfill, so state lawmakers are pledging to investigate and see where their noses lead them.
The General Assembly announced Wednesday that state Rep. Stephen Uccil will lead a commission that will try to put an end to the rotten-egg smell at the Johnston landfill. The odor has prompted complaints from
as far away as Attleboro, Mass., about 14 miles away.
The agency that operates the landfill blames recent rains for the smell and has installed vents to trap gasses coming from it.
Ucci says he has received more constituent calls about the odor than any other issue in his seven years in the Legislature.
The commission's first meeting is scheduled for Dec. 16.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1
STOUFFER PLACE
Stouffer Place, built more than half a century ago, consists of 25 buildings and 283 apartments. The total complex population is more than 500 people.
FAN
For a while now, the complex has been showing its age. Of the five former and current residents interviewed, nearly all complained about old, rotten or drafty windows. Others told stories of sewage backup, and, in one case, a broken furnace giving off carbon monoxide. Housing houses residents pamphlets about dealing with the lead-based paint that exists within the complex.
"That's gotten awfully costly"
Robertson said.
So far housing has completely gutted and rebuilt five apartment buildings.
Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said the lead paint was only dangerous when ingested and added that if the paint is flaking "we absolutely need to know that and address that."
Rubina Firdous, a PhD candidate from Karachi, Pakistan, has received some of these upgrades.
Shirong Wen, from Beijing, China, feels the chill of winter drafts leaking in around the edges of an old air conditioner in his Stouffer Place apartment. Wen said drafts coming from the airconditioner and the windows had contributed to $150 gas bills.
According to Robertson, housing has worked to fix the issues in the aging complex, which she said was on par with graduate student housing options offered by other universities.
She said the Housing maintenance staff has been "very nice and cooperative."
"What we're trying to do, as with all of our housing, is keep it up to modern standards," she said.
Housing is also working to improveon-renovatedapartments. Robertson said that 87 apartments have recently received upgrades including new sinks, counters and lighting, costing $136,590, plus labor.
JAN CUMMINGS/KANSAN
APARTMENT REPAIRS
Firdous spent 20 minutes explaining all of the repairs housing has performed on her apartment. When her bedroom window fell off, leaving a hole in her apartment, maintenance put it back on. When the same window fell off again and shattered, they replaced it. When her water heater flooded her apartment, maintenance staff put in a new heater. When her furnace malfunctioned and the maintenance man said it was giving off carbon monoxide, she got a new heater.
Firdous said she was happy with the upgrades, but was still afraid for herself and her daughter after the furnace incident.
"I asked for a carbon monoxide detector, and they said you can buy one at the Wal-Mart."
MAINTENANCE DIFFICULTIES
Robertson said maintenance work is a constant process. Three employees work full time upgrading the complex and fixing problems like Firdous' furnace. Another employee replaces windows. Robertson said that those needing windows replaced should inform the front desk of Javahawk Towers.
Shirong Wen said he did inform the front desk of Jayhawker towers about his drafty windows, but has yet to see any results. Instead, the family just puts on more layers of clothes.
Wen said he wishes he could leave the apartment but finances make moving difficult.
His wife's position as a postdoctoral fellow in physics at the University makes the family unsure of their time at the University. Most apartment complexes require a year-long lease to rent an apartment. Stouffer Place offers the option to rent on a monthly basis.
As plans for new buildings remain years away and maintenance costs rise; the rent at Stouffer Place will keep rising along with rates across campus. The Kansas Board of Regents will meet December 14 and 15 to discuss room and board price increases for student housing, including Stouffer Place. The rate increases at StouFFER Place are modest compared to others on campus, with the cost of a one bedroom apartment rising from $327 to $334.
One change in housing policy will have utilities included in rent for Stouffer Place. Utility costs range from $85 for a one bedroom apartment to $130 for a three bedroom apartment.
NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES
The increasing rents and continued maintenance issues have attracted criticism from Stouffer Place residents. In December of 2010, The Stouffer Neighbor Association, which represented the
complex residents at the time, published an editorial in their newsletter criticizing Housing for the state of the complex. Former SNA president Seyool Oh said the letter's author wished to keep his name anonymous because of a fear of repercussions from Housing.
The SNA submitted the newsletter first to student housing for approval, which informed Oh that he could not run the letter because it was false and anonymous. Oh left the letter in when he published the newsletter.
"We are not a professional newspaper," Oh said. "We are writing a newsletter. We are amateurs."
In March, Student Housing dissolved the executive board of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association.
Robertson said in an email that housing chose to dissolve the Stouffer Neighborhood Association
executive board, which it oversaw because of "the group's inability to comply with very basic expectations that the Department of Student Housing holds for the organizations representing residential students."
The requirements Robertson listed included coordinating with the SNA organization's housing adviser, submitting a timely newsletter as well as signing a signature card for the student organization fund.
However, Oh said the organization tried to fulfill all but one of housing's requirements.
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.
MOVING ON
While some have been critical of Housing, others have just moved away. Azhar Hanzhe moved out of the apartment complex last year, worrying that the cold as well as issues of clogged drains would affect the health of his 3-year-old child Amylda.
"it's good for me but for children, it's not good," he said. Hanzeh said he wished he could stay in the apartments because of its location next to campus and the community. However, when it came down to it, he had to put his daughter first. Hanzeh said that, while he pays a bit more in rent than he paid at Stouffer Place, his apartment is always warm.
Hanzeh also spoke about the difficulties of adjusting to the complex and a new country after coming from Malaysia. Hanzeh, like at least 150 apartment contract holders living in Stouffer Place, came from a foreign country. For non-native English-speaking students, everyday experiences such as filling out a maintenance request form can be daunting.
"When you come from another country, you don't have any family," Hanzeh said. "You just survive."
But beneath the difficulties of being from a different country and apartment complex politics, the reality of the situation remains. Many families must deal with the winter weather coming up and figure out how keep their children healthy. And Student Housing has an aging complex, and the responsibility of making it hold together.

HANNAH WISE/KANSAN
The Scheweda-Stokopf family from left, Evan, Hayley, Ken, Maddie and Tristen. The children are Ken's from a previous marriage. He and his ex-wife are still friendly, and the kids think it is great because they essentially have three parents involved in their lives.
Back to reality
MARRIAGE FROM PAGE 1A
After about a year of dating, Evan and Ken traveled to Florida. Evan said he brought Ken out to a bridge leading into a wooded area by the beach with the sunset in the backdrop. When Ken turned, Evan was down on one knee proposing.
A year later, Evan was accepted to a school in Chicago, and they broke up for about a month.
"We got to the point where we could drink an entire bottle of wine while we talked." Evan said. "I ended up giving up the school and moving back, because apparently crying and drinking wine over Skype isn't a healthy relationship."
After Evan moved back to Kansas he began the couple's application to be married in Iowa.
"Two weeks in advance we called up our five straight buddies and drove to Iowa." Evan said about their courthouse marriage. "His (Ken's) best friend actually got certified, ordained, and married us right there on the steps."
kansas does not recognize Evan and Ken's marriage. The Kansas legislature passed a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. The state does not recognize same-sex marriages, even if they are performed elsewhere.
Because marriage is not specifically addressed in the Constitution, it has been deemed a state government issue, not a federal issue so far. Until the Supreme Court rules otherwise, states are free to define marriage as they see fit.
A large portion of United States judicial history is centered around the rights and powers invested in state governments compared to the powers of the federal government.
The Tenth Amendment states,"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved
to the states respectively, or to the people?
The state does recognize that the men hyphenated their last names. Many same-sex couples, like Ken and Evan, have found ways to work around the state ban on same-sex marriage. Kansas state laws deny rights and many tax exemptions to same-sex couples because as far as the state is concerned, the couples are not legally married.
According to Stephen McAllister, the Kansas solicitor general, if one spouse dies, the surviving spouse will receive Social Security benefits. Same-sex couples and people who are living together but not legally married do not receive the same benefits. The same rule applies to federal taxes, landownership and contracts.
Evan just bought a new home for the family in Olathe. Kansas does not recognize his marriage, so he
had to write Ken into a living-will as the inheritor of the house instead of listing Ken as a joint tenant on the mortgage. When people have joint tenant status they are able to inherit property automatically.
"It's an additional $300 to make that happen for something that straight couples get free," Evan said.
From the beginning of the American legal system, laws were directed toward land-owning men only. Laws then moved to focusing on married and non-married as two different statuses to define individuals, and those two statuses are what most laws are currently based on.
"For most states it was just assumed that we were talking about a traditional marriage and that is how local laws were geared," McAllister said.
The desire for same-sex marriages has changed the playing field. Milton Wendland, a professor of women and
gender studies, said that throughout many communities people are looking at why marriage has to be the defining trait for how people are organized.
He referenced the Human Rights Campaign's survey for major corporations about their business practices. The survey asks the companies if they have non-discrimination policies or if they offer partner benefits.
"Most of these companies are saying, 'Yes, we do,' said Wendland. "We want to attract the best candidates for our jobs and that means offering these things."
McAllister said many aspects of the legal system are tied to marriage because same-sex marriage has become openly acceptable only in the last few decades. The American legal system is still using precedents and laws set from the earliest days of the nation.

Changing ideas
In 1972, the Supreme Court was presented with its first same-sex marriage case, Baker v. Nelson. The case was brought by two men, Richard Baker and James McConnell, who had applied for a marriage license in Minnesota and were denied on the grounds that they were of the same-sex. The Supreme Court issued its dismissal of the case in one sentence citing that the issue did not involve the federal government.
The Baker case laid the grounds for more recent legal arguments, including the 2009 case Varnum v. Brein. The case was presented before the Iowa Supreme Court, which found that under the equal protection clause in the Constitution, same-sex marriage is a legal, constitutional right. The decision was unanimous in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in the state of Iowa.
"The opinion reflects a carefully considered constitutional law decision from a state supreme court that has a long history of trying to do the right thing under the law, even if it is not consistent with what other states around it or the nation may be doing," said Ann Estin, a professor at the Iowa College of Law in Iowa City.
The Iowa Supreme Court saw that marriage is not simply a social concept. Under the law, marriage changes tax status, custody, housing and more.
Iowa is the only state in the Midwest to allow same-sex couples to marry legally. Other states have developed provisions, such as domestic partnership registries and civil
unions, to accommodate same-sex couples and provide them the same legal rights that come with marriage.
"We were created to make the state of Iowa more welcoming and accepting for gay and lesbian people," said Troy Price, the executive director of One Iowa, a LGBT civil rights group. "We work to change hearts and minds."
One Iowa's goal is to protect and advance civil rights for the LGBT community in Iowa. Since the group's founding in 2005, its members have worked to educate Iowans about the LGBT community and the benefits for same-sex couples in marriage legalization.
Price said that for the most part, especially after the Varnum decision, Iowaans have responded positively to the One Iowa message.
"Iowans, historically, have always been a people who live and let live," Price said. "We don't really care what people are doing in their house. We don't really mind the gay couple down the street."
Price said when the Iowa Supreme Court first announced its opinion in Varnum people across the state were asking, "How can this be?" But, he says, as time has passed more people are changing their point of view about same-sex marriage.
"A lot of people just have that inherent prejudice to begin with and then they have a conversation with themselves and they talk to their friends and they talk with their neighbors about what this means," Price said. "They think about the gay couple down the street and
actually what this truly means for them."
Despite the change in views across Iowa, same-sex couples and their supporters living in the state are not without their challenges. In 2013, three Iowa Supreme Court justices were denied retention in a state-wide ballot measure.
"We have had judicial retention since the mid-1960s and there have been four times previously where a judge, never a supreme court justice, has been removed. And it has always been for gross incompetence," Price said.
The campaign promoting the removal of the justices was primarily financed by the FAMILY LEADER, a pro-family organization led by president and CEO Bob Vander Plaats. The organization released a statement in December 2010 before its "Capturing Momentum Tour" to the 99-counties in Iowa.
In the news release, FAMILY LEADER director of development, Matt Resetter said, "Now we have an even greater opportunity to harness that election momentum and see that conservative, constitutional, pro-family principles continue to be esteemed in our state for generations to come."
Price explained when the vote occurred, many Iowans did not think the retention vote was a real threat, but after the actions of the FAMILY LEADER, One Iowa and same-sex marriage supporters will not allow anything similar to happen again in Iowa.
Well, what about Kansas?
In April 2005, Kansas voters approved a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. A New York Times article, "In the Heartland and Out of the Closet," documents the social changes in Kansas when the constitutional amendment was being considered.
The article discusses the choices gay and lesbian Kansans faced in 2005, especially for individuals and couples who were not open about their sexuality. The article said the choice between standing up against
the constitutional amendment and staying secretive about their sexuality led many Kansans to come out to their friends and neighbors in a way to start a conversation about rights for same-sex couples.
At the time, their efforts were not enough. The constitutional amendment passed and the Kansas constitution now defines it as, "Marriage shall be constituted by one man and one woman only. All other marriages are declared to be contrary to the public policy of this
state and are void."
Despite the constitutional amendment, the number of same-sex couples in the state has grown. In the 2000 census, Kansas registered 21,411 male householders with children. In 2010 the number had grown by 34.4 percent to 28,773 households. Ken and Evan Scheweda-Stoskopf and their children are in the 34.4 percent change.
A truly modern family
For Evan and Ken's children, having two dads is not a big deal. The children are Ken's from a previous marriage.
"I am good friends with my ex-wife and we still love each other," Ken said. "We have three great kids we share."
The children, Maddie, 13 years old, Tristen, 12 years old, and Hayley, 10 years old, split time between their dads' house and their mom's. The kids go to school in Baldwin City where their mom lives.
Maddie is a cheerleader at Baldwin High School and, like any high school girl, spends time on Facebook and hanging out with friends. Tristen spends his time playing football and baseball when he isn't flirting with the young ladies. Hayley is the most out-spoken of the kids and she enjoys gymnastics, softball and art.
Evan and Ken have been open with the children about their sexuality and they credit television shows with gay characters such as "Glee" and "Modern Family," for making it easier to talk about.
"Tristen was about six when he asked me, 'Why don't you like girls?' Ken said. "I said, 'Well, that's just the way I was made.' And
Tristen just said,'Well, I don't care. Dad"
Ken said he was surprised Tristen had an easy time accepting Ken as being gay. He said he believed it would be difficult for Tristen to accept him after growing up in a small, conservative town.
Evan and Ken said they really never talked about it in a formal way with the kids.
"It's just there," Evan said. "Just like my parents never talked about, 'Oh, we're straight.'
"It's our family," Ken said. "We love each other and we want to be around each other."
When politics enters the picture
in August, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry joined fellow candidates Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in signing the National Organization for Marriage's pledge to support a federal constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
In a November interview with the Nashua Telegraph, Romney said, "I'm in favor of traditional marriage. I oppose same-sex marriage. At the same time, I don't believe in discriminating in employment or opportunity for gay individuals. So I favor gay rights. I do not favor same-sex marriage".
Evan follows national politics closely, especially same-sex couples rights issues.
"It hurts to see someone actively make a pledge to tear our family apart," Evan said. "They want to divorce us."
Currently, the federal Defense of Marriage Act, signed in 1996 by President Bill Clinton is still in effect. It defines marriage, in regards to any thing on the federal level, as a legal union between a man and
Today, the Ninth Circuit of Appeals in San Francisco, will hear two major motions in the case regarding Prop 8, a California measure from 2008 banning same-sex marriage in the state. In the 2010 case Perry v. Schwarzenegger, Prop 8 was overturned and ruled to be unconstitutional because it violated the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.
However, President Obama instructed the Justice Department in February to cease defending the section of the statute defining marriage. Several cases are pending in the district courts, as well as the federal court of appeals.
Following the federal action, the state of New York passed the Mariage Equality Act on July 24. Same-sex couples young and oldlocked to the city to be married throughout the summer. On Dec.1, a New York judge allowed a lawsuit seeking to void the act to proceed.
a woman. It also says states are not required to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
The Circuit of Appeals case is on track to be decided in early 2012. From there, the case could go to the United States Supreme Court. The court could set a precedent if it finds the ban unconstitutional, which would lift all bans against same-sex marriage as well as find DOMA to be unconstitutional.
Solicitor general McAllister said for same-sex couples in Kansas, the likelihood of the state constitutional ban being lifted is unlikely. Because the state's voters ratified the amendment in 2005 through a ballot vote, the Kansas Supreme Court now has its hands tied. He said it will take a case being accepted into the U.S. Supreme Court and the opinion finding DOMA to be unconstitutional on a federal level to change the nation's legal definition of marriage.
For Evan and Ken, they will continue to live and work in Kansas with their children. They are secure in the thought that as time goes on, the groups working against their marriage will grow smaller.

west Virginia denies tax credit for MTV show
MTV is again at odds with state film officials who refuse to subsidize the network's latest reality TV show with tax credits. West Virginia film officials have cited MTV's unflattering depiction of state culture in "Buck Wild."
LOS ANGELES — First it was artificially tanned, party-crazed Italian Americans. Now it's mud-racing, squirrel-hunting Appalachians.
The show, scheduled to start filming next spring in Charleston and Sissonville, follows a group of recent high school graduates living in rural West Virginia as they participate in homegrown activities such as mud-racing.
THE NEXT PANEL
The West Virginia Film Office was not impressed and twice turned down the show's application for incentives over concerns the series will negatively portray the state. West Virginia offers tax credits of up to 31 percent of qualified production spending. But to qualify, a production has to meet specific content criteria set forth by the state Legislature. The denial came to light last month when MTV announced the new series.
"It can't portray West Virginia in a significantly derogatory manner," said West Virginia Film Office Director Pam Haynes, acknowledging that what is deemed "significantly derogatory" is subjective and decided by a six-member panel.

In addition, blues musician Fredie King will join the hall's roster of early influence honorees, while veteran pop star maker and erstwhile TV impresario Don Kirshner has been chosen as recipient of the Ahtet Ertegun Award, given each year to an influential nonperformer. Producers Tom Dowd and Glyn Johns and pioneering New Orleans engineer and recording studio owner Cosimo Matassa round out the new batch of inductees with awards for musical excellence.
LOS ANGELES — Three musical iron fists meet a pair of velvet gloves as Guns N' Rosees, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys are joined by Donovan, Laura Nyro and England's Small Faces as the Rock and Roll Hail of Fame's slate of performer inductees for 2012.

The arrival of GNR into the hall
prompts the question of just who will represent the group at next year's induction ceremony, scheduled for April 14 at the Rock Hall in Cleveland, rather than its usual site at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Frontman Axl Rose has long been at odds with most of his band's former members, notably lead guitarist Slash, raising the issue of whether he — or they — will participate in a reunion of the original lineup for the event, which is a tradition of rock hall induction dinners.
Guns N' Roses and the Chili Peppers, both of which emerged in the 1980s from L.A.'s explosive hard rock and alternative club scene, scored entry into the Hall of Fame during their first year of eligibility.

Editor's note: Thanks to all of you for your FFAs this semester. Your texts brightened my day everyday. Please continue to send your FFAs through winter break as we will post FFAs online at Kansan.com every Friday through the break
Make your break an enjoyable time of relaxation
The holiday season is the best time of year and soon enough, we will all be able to participate in the holidays most enjoyable festivities. To enjoy break like a true jayhawk, here are four ways to successfully represent the crimson and blue while on vacation.
1. As a true Jayhawk sports fan, supporting the basketball team should be second nature. Students who live in the area should attend the home games in Lawrence, as well as the Kansas City game against Davidson College. The first game of the New Year starts off with archrival, K-State. It is important to start off the year
right and cheer on the jayhawks for a victory. Here are the home games that will be played during break.

2. Take time to ring in the New Year. Whether you spend the holiday partaking in popular traditions like watching the ball drop live at Times Square in New York City or celebrating in the city with friends, ring in the New
3. If time allows, students should try and rake in money during break. Get a job in your town to help pay for next semester's expenses. Start applying now, ask around for opportunities or inquire with a previous employer who may be looking for winter help. This is also a good time to apply for summer internship positions.
Year right. Look for various celebrations in your hometown,
and for those who are 21 or older, throw your own bash.
Either way, make it count.
4. Gather your friends, pick your bases and have an epic snowball fight. If you're that
lucky student going tropical, or just to the warm parts of the United States during winter break, get some supersoakers and have a water gun fight. You worked hard to come out of fall semester finals alive, so enjoy your break with a strategic and adventurous water war. Email pictures of your victory or defeat to vshanker@kansan.com so we can feature them in a slideshow on Kansan.com
Even though winter weather can be chillingly miserable, take advantage of your break by doing something constructive, fun and memorable.

ACTIVISM
The freedom to tweet
What do a high school senior from Johnson County and a pro-democracy activist from Azerbaijan have in common?
In the words of 18-year-old Emma Sullivan, both think their respected political leaders "suck." Neither is afraid to say it — or in their cases, tweet it — as Sullivan did two weeks ago.
By Michael Holtz
mholtz@kansan.com
But the事该followed her disparages remarks about Gov. Sam Brownback point to where the similarities she shares with the Azerbajani activist, 28-year-old Arzu Geybullayeva, abruptly end.
Inspired by Sullivan's refusal to apologize for her tweet aimed at the conservative governor, the liberal blogosphere began spreading her story two weeks ago.
She quickly gained national media attention as civil rights advocates — and thousands of new Twitter followers — rallied behind her.
By last Monday, Brownback was the one apologizing. He said his staff "over-reacted" to the tweet when it reported it to Sullivan's high school principal.
The school district wrote off the incident on the same day. In a statement it said the controversy had "resulted in many teachable moments concerning the use of social media."
Sullivan was off the hook. Her
tweet amounted to little more than 15 minutes of fame, 15,000 new Twitter followers and a crash course in the First Amendment.
If only Geybullayeva had it so easy. Unfortunately, the consequences she faces for what she publishes online about Azerbaijan's political leaders are much more real.
"There's no way a government official would ever apologize for his staff." Geybullayeva told a group of KU students and professors last week. She was on campus to discuss her experience as one of her country's most vocal — and closely monitored — pro-democracy activists.
In Azerbaijan, an ex-Soviet country on the Caspian Sea, the government is much more likely to frame political dissidents for hojoliganism or drug possession than admit to infringing upon their civil liberties.
That's because the country's authoritarian leadership considers free speech a political liability
Despite the risks, Geybullayeva continues to defy the Azerbaijani government through tweets and posts on her blog. "Flying Carpets and Broken Pipelines," from her home in Istanbul, Turkey. There she can write without fear of retribution, so long as she stays out of Azerbaian.
rather than a universal right. Prison terms take the place of apology letters when it comes to punishing opposition activists.
Though Geybullayeva admits that living in exile is not always easy, she can't imagine doing anything else.
It's a situation we as Americans never have to face. Freedom of expression is so ingrained in our society that it's easily taken for granted. Few people were alarmed by the content of Sullivan's tweet; it was Brownback's knee-jerk reaction that was so widely condemned.
It's obvious that Sullivan didn't consider the consequences of her message before posting it. She simply said what was on her mind, as Americans are almost always allowed to do.
It's a freedom Geybullayeva can only dream of.

Commenting on comments
HUMOR
I am going on hiatus — which is a fancy way of saying that I'm taking a semester off, so I can get some financial stuff figured out. I hope to return to the Kansan next summer or fall, but sometimes hiatuses take a little longer (like "Arrested Development"). For my last column for a while, I wanted to do something special. I could be complaining about a wide variety of things but I choose to dedicate my last column to Internet commenters.

Why are most people who take the time to make accounts on websites often so incredibly uninformed and belligerent? Sure, you get your smart person every once in awhile who makes a valid point, but then the Great Council of the Internet decided there should be upvote/downvote system.
Well, I am always up for an experiment. So, instead of waiting on the comments this column will get on Kansan.com, the last half of this column will be written in Internet comments (I'm so meta). Here it goes ...
When I was in the MILITARY — that's right the MILITARY — we weren't allowed to comment on anything. If I so much as offered my opinion on anything my commanding officer would say,
commenting on the innernet is gay.

Comment sections were made to promote discussions on topics. However, no one ever said they had to be reasonable discussions.
So, I urge you — if you are an intelligent human being — to comment on more shit on the internet. Then again you could just do something way more productive — like watch, insult, and rant about Disney Channel's "A.N.T. Farn" for no reason (it's such a roiph of Nickelodeon's "Victorious"). Either way, those commenters are just gonna spawn with each other like rabbits and your comment will probably just get lost among the stupid ones.

Occupy KU members work to localize a national movement
BOBBY BURCH
bburch@kansan.com
Jordan Wade paces across the classroom, waiting for her students' response. Some fidget in their chairs; others stare at cell phones.
"When these movements happen, who is able to take on risk? Who is able to put their body in front of a police line and say, 'Yeah, sure, take me to jail.'" Wade asks. Silence ensues as her students avert their eyes.
Undaunted by the indifference, Wade, a graduate student from Charlotte, N.C., carries on with her lecture.
For the last two weeks, she's examined the Occupy movement with students in her Introduction to American Studies course. Wade helped organize a "teach-in" to discuss Occupy, which provides historical context, data on the financial crisis and demographics of demonstrators. Wade said at times the class' participation in the Occupy lectures is reflective of mainstream media's take on the movement.
BOBBY BURCH/KANSAN
"The initial student response went in two waves. The first line was, 'Well I don't watch a lot of news, so I don't really know,' Wade said. "The second line was, 'But it seems like it's a bunch of whiners and people complaining.' And generally that's what the media has been portraying in a lot of outlets, so that's the trickle-down effect."
Members of "Occupy KU" gather in a circle at the Kansas Union to discuss the group's grievances with the University. The group formed about one month ago and meets each Friday at 4 p.m. at the Kansas Union.
Despite her involvement with Occupy's cause, Wade insisted the teach-in is not a call to action but rather a contemporary paradigm for her course's study.

"Obviously we don't want to push any agenda with it," she said. "But to talk about it is the nature of the discipline."
Occupy's cause at the University.
"At this point it is really in its infancy stages."
Wade is keen to observe her class' reaction because she has a vested interest in understanding the movement as a participant in the student organization Occupy KU, which works to localize
OCCUPY KU
Nineteen University students sit cross-legged in a circle at the Kansas Union. It's an eclectic gathering of people: hand-knit hats, piercings, business casual clothing and dreadlocks.
Gus Bova, a freshman from Lawrence, delivers the rules of engagement.
“When proposal is made there are four basic hand signals you can react with,” Bova says. “Both hands up: approval. Hands straight out, horizontally from you, stand aside: Mostly people use this if it's their first meeting ever and they don't know if they want to be involved, but they're not blocking anything.”
Bova performs each gesture to help members of Occupy KU communicate their proposal decisions with the group non-verbally.
"Hands down is the interesting one, because it's no, but no in the sense that we need to discuss it more, clarify it more," he continues. The fourth hand sign is arms crossed over the chest, which means a member would disassociate from the group on moral grounds if the proposal is approved.
Members share smiles, laughs and ideas with one another at this Occupy KU general assembly.
Some in the circle voice their curiosity of the movement, others their frustrations.
BRIAN SULTANA Occupy KU member
"The only way this movement is getting information out there - legit information - is through social networking and Internet. The
mainstream media is refusing to cover this to any extent," said Michael Packard, a senior from Salina. "The message is highly marginalized because it conflicts with their corporate interests."
Occupy KU, an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street group, began about a month ago, attracting University students concerned
with a variety of political and social issues. At each meeting, the group amends an expanding list of grievances and members discuss strategies to make changes at the University.
CURRENT ISSUES
Currently, Occupy KU is taking issue with rising tuition costs, Coca-Cola's contract on campus and Koch Industries' and Chevron's involvement at the University.
Brian Sultana, a senior from Manhattan, said he hopes the group can create a larger discussion of these grievances to get more students involved.
The group recently acquired

funding from Student Senate and plans to use the money to create awareness around campus. However, Occupy KU's methods to communicate its message take multiple forms.
To spread the word, members of Occupy KU created a Facebook group that's amassed 77 members. The group's Twitter account shares event and organizing information with 81 followers.
Occupy KU is also taking to the airwaves. After participating in Occupy KU, James Baker, a senior from Dallas, let members of the group spread the word on his 90.7 FM KJHK radio show. Baker
In addition to its online outlet, Occupy KU is planning to create a "Zine" to transmit its message in print. Bova said the Zine will feature the group's list of grievances, poetry, artwork and discuss myths about the Occupy movement.
said he has an open conversation with Occupy KU members on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
"It gives them kind of an open forum to discuss actions, problems and the movement in general without a filter, rather than have them relegated to just sidewalk chalk," Baker said. "It's pretty open."
Current student body president Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence, said that she couldn't necessarily advocate for students to demonstrate as part of a political group. However, she said students' option to participate in an activist group like Occupy KU is valuable to free expression on campus.
"It's obvious that the state has cut funding continuously and that had a huge effect on all students," Johnson said. "I think that's something that students
should be concerned about, should be engaged in. I think one way to do that — one way to advocate — is by participating in groups like Occupy KU. However I think that there are other ways to do it as well."
Claire Kerwin, a senior from St. Louis and a member of Occupy KU, said that she's certain the group will continue after winter break. She added that once weather permits, she hopes the group can move its general assemblies outside for increased visibility.
"It will be really successful next year," Kerwin said. "I personally think that change has to happen on a local level."

Student feedback important to professors
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Like all University students this time of year, Brad Crenshaw is scrambling to get his schoolwork done before the semester ends, and as he awaits his grades for the semester, he is also busy grading his professors.
Professor evaluations are something all students are familiar with, but like many University students, Crenshaw has some questions about how seriously his opinion is taken.
"The surveys are important," Crenshaw said, "I think it one way
for us to grade our professors and be involved in our own learning."
The evaluations, known as the Curriculum & Instruction Survey, went unchanged for more than 20 years until 2008. The survey was changed by a task force created at the request of the Board of Regents.
The old system asked questions the task force believed the students were not equipped to answer, such as questions about curriculum requirements that students were not familiar with.
"They thought carefully in terms of the questions with the information that students would be able to provide us with," said Mary Lee
Hummert, vice provost for faculty and development.
Professors are evaluated every calendar year on their teaching, research and service, and while the evaluations are an important part of a professor's performance, it is not everything.
"We should be looking at syllabi, considering observations and other strategies that the faculty member may have been using to improve his or herself," Hummert said.
Hummert, also a professor of communication studies, finds students personal comments to be one of the most helpful parts of the evaluation.
"I think it's really important that
students take them seriously, and they take the opportunity to add comments," Hummert said. "Then the ratings are in context and people have a clear idea of why they received their score."
The previous survey explicitly asked for students to leave comments on their professors, and while each department asks for something slightly different in their surveys, the current model does not ask for comments as a part of the survey, but rather as an addition.
David Holmes, professor of psychology, believes the student evaluations make up a large portion of how the teaching portion of his performance is evaluated, and he
believes the University has done a great disservice to the professors and students by not asking for comments outright.
"The only feedback we have for teaching are the evaluations," Holmes said. "Criticisms and comments help me make sure I adjust for the next time around."
Small changes have been made to the surveys in previous years, but Crenshaw agrees that he could more accurately express his opinions if the survey questions built in a space to articulate the rating
"I want to leave comments at the end, but I never have time to," Crenshaw said. "Everyone else leaves as soon as they are finished,
and it makes me feel like I need to hurry up"
The vice provost's office for faculty development is exploring posting evaluations online, which may encourage more student comments.
Crenshaw agrees that posting online may allow for more student feedback, but also believes it will encourage less participation.
"I would post comments online," Crenshaw said, "But I think less students would participate because they will see it as an option."

OSU's defensive and turnover skills will challenge Kansas Saturday @KANSAN.COM
COMMENTARY
THE BATTLE OF THE BACKCOURT
Love it or hate it: Taylor's style will continue
Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
What fans have seen from senior guard Tyshawn Taylor through eight games is what they will most likely see the rest of the season.
Taylor has been the most criticized Jayhawk this year, mainly because of his sometimes out of control turnovers or one-handed passes that don't always go where he intended. What's often overlooked though, is that Taylor's recklessness combined with his knack for getting into the lane and scoring has sometimes been the only consistent guard production for Bill Self's Jayhaws.
SHOWDOWN
Taylor is averaging 16.8 points and 3.6 assists per game this season. That score-first mentality was best on display in the second game of the year against Kentucky on Nov. 15, a 75-65 loss in Madison Square Garden. He led the team in shots and points, and in the second half when the Jayhawk offense was often stagnant, he seemed to have just one goal: Get to the free-throw line. It was the only thing that kept Kansas in the game. He made 15 of 17 free throws and finished with 22 points and just two assists. It was revealed after the game, however, that Taylor wasn't neglecting his teammates, but rather instructed to get to the paint every time he could, so he did just that.
— Edited by Mike Lavieri
While perusing the halls of Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday night, I overheard a fan who described Taylor as a modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and there might not be a better way to describe the senior point guard. He can make an NBA-type play one minute and throw it right into the chest of the opponent the next. Self often talks about the assist-to-turnover ratio with his guards, and right now Taylor's is 0.9, meaning for every assist he has slightly more than one turnover. That's not great, but neither has the Jayhawk offense been at stretches this season. If a coach could design the perfect point guard, Tyshawn Taylor probably wouldn't be chosen. But he can score as well as anyone at times and the Jayhawks wouldn't have six wins this season without him.
He's going to follow up highlight reel dunks and passes with a few head scratchers. He's going to keep an inexperienced offense in a lot of games that it wouldn't have normally been in, and sometimes, that's all you can ask for.

Remember that Duke team? That team that ousted Kansas from the Maui Invitational championship? On Nov. 29, Ohio State torched Duke ... by 22 points.
The Jayhawks will tip off on Saturday, 2:15 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse for one of the few games when many would consider them underdogs. Adding to the idea after Tuesday's narrow victory, coach Bill Self outlined a few conflicts with his team.
"Our offense sucks," Self said. "We are the worst passing team I have ever seen. Four assists and 16 turnovers in the second half. They scored 24 points off of our offense. It's ridiculous to watch."
Turnovers, the common poison for a fast team, have sickened the layhawkes offense throughout the season. If the turnovers persist, the Buckeyes will take advantage on the other end. They shoot 50.9 percent from the end, which ranks eighth in country.
They're led by sophomore forward Jared Sullinger, a sturdy fixture in the paint, who matches up with junior forward Thomas Robinson. Sullinger garners more media attention on a higher ranked team (Ohio State is currently ranked second, Kansas thirtenth), Robinson plays a similar game as Sullinger but has another dimension. The 88-80 Long Beach State victory on Tuesday showcased his jump shot, perhaps sending a message to Sullinger.
"I hope he got it," Robinson said in a joking manner. "Message or no message, we've got to come ready to play."
While national attention will shift on the Sullinger-Robinson showdown, the Buckeyes boast more than one talent.
Senior guard William Buford averages 16 points per game and hits 46.2 percent of his 3-point shots. Sophomore forward Deshawn Thomas averages 12.9 points per game and makes 48.8 percent from the field. Sophomore guard Aaron Craft averages 5.5 assists to just two turnovers per game; a ratio self would kill for.
Self said his own lineup doesn't pass, catch or see well during pressure situations.
"It's hard to put a finger on anything because you can look up and down the lineup and there is just nobody that values the ball at all" he said.
The best way to counter the nearly inevitable dose of turnovers: a sharp shooting Robinson to trump Sullinger.
"Sullinger's a good player," Robinson said. "I know he's going to be ready Saturday."

Lottery plagued by confusion, crowds

Usually the frenzied students that make up the Allen Fieldhouse atmosphere wait until tip-off before the chaos begins; yet Wednesday morning's camping lottery for Saturday's game with Ohio State brought a madness of its own.

An overwhelming amount of students showed up for lottery, which was scheduled to begin at 6 a.m., and began packing the lower
Hundreds of students waited to draw numbers outside the Fieldhouse in 10-degree weather. One student fainted and an ambulance from Lawrence Memorial Hospital removed her from the scene
on a stretcher
By the time the lottery was supposed to start, students were in the midst of transferring from the Fieldhouse to the neighboring parking garage, where they then waited for the next set of directions.
"There was no structure," Colin Belmont, a sophomore from Omaha, Neb., said of the lottery system. "No one was directing anyone until there were too many students to organize them."
Confused students wandered
aimlessly, trying to find anyone with knowledge on how, when and where the lottery would begin.
After waiting in the cold and no lottery taking place, some students went back to the Fieldhouse while others remained in the garage, still without a clue of what was happening.
Trey Johnson, a junior from Leesburg, Va., facilitates the lottery and admits that a lack of preparation caused the breakdown.
"We didn't think there would be

Just after 7 a.m. the lottery began in the area between the Fieldhouse and the garage - leaving students to now congregate in that space. Without a megaphone, groups were shouted at to pick their numbers. The mob of campers made it tough for groups to find their way to the front of the heap and make their selection.
The lottery concluded at approximately 8:40 a.m. with some students of the 109 groups having waited three hours in the cold to draw their numbers.
Following the lottery, Johnson contacted the building manager to come up with a new strategy to make sure yesterday's events will not be repeated.
"If I go and tell the building manager that we need the gym, he
will let us in at any time;" Johnson said.

MORNING BREW
Farewell Kansas sports, I will miss you
To call me a casual sports fan would be an overstatement. Throughout my life
Throughout my life I've generally been ambivalent about sports. Watching a game, whether it be football or basketball, holds about as much interest for me as mowing a lawn. Sure, there are moments of excitement, but for the most part I have trouble feeling invested in the game at hand.
By Jonathan Shorman
jshorman@kansan.com
While I've been a pretty regular attendee of football games and an occasional attendee of basketball games, what I absolutely love, regardless of the game, is the experience of sports.
I love crowds, and I love stadiums. A sports crowd is a mirror to society. You've got celebrities, leaders, average folk, police (ushers and actual police) and criminals (that idiot who stole your seat, for example). So when it comes time to pay attention to the big play, I usually find myself asking everyone around me, "What happened? I was too busy watching Lew Perkins."
The other sidewash of sports that occupies my attention is the band. I absolutely love it. When it comes to things that are right in the world, bands rank somewhere between ice cream and Ferris Bueller.
I played a mean clarinet in high school. But you already knew that, right? There is, after all, something about my dashing handsome mug shot that screams "clarinet player." My high school had both a robust marching and pep band and I attended as many games as I could.
But once again, it had almost nothing
to do with the game itself. For me, it was about socializing and feeling the energy that comes through music. When I get to hear the KU Band, part of me is and always will be envious.
Throughout my entire life, I've primarily experienced sports as a social and musical event. It goes without saying, though I'm saying it anyway, that this university is the best place I can imagine for a sports fan like myself.
Allen Fieldhouse offers a thunderous band and an even more thunderous crowd. At Memorial Stadium, it's hard to not swell with pride when the drum majors charge, batons hoisted into the sky, onto the field before games. For a brief moment they help the crowd hope against hope, even though deep down everyone knows it will be another slaughter.
So I'm a bit perplexed at how I'm going to handle my current situation. See, I'm graduating at the end of the semester and will be leaving Lawrence. I'm grateful to have found a reporting job in another
KU
city, yet for me this means the end of Kansas sports as I know it. No more crowds of thousands to watch for hours. No more band to admire. Just me and ESPN 3. This is life.
For me, sports at Kansas has never been about T-Rob or Bill Self, Todd Reesing or Turner Gill. It's been about you.
And I will miss you all dearly.

While Hatch was the only jayhawk to be named to the Big 12's first or second team roster, six other jayhawks earned Big 12 honorable mention honorees.
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson leads the list of Jayhawks who were given an honorable mention, as he led the Big 12 in tackles with 124. Johnson is the first Kansas player to lead the conference in tackles since Roger Robben in 1989.
Also named on the honorable mention list is senior tight end Tim Biere. Biere had the second-most catches for Kansas and was
second in the conference for tight ends, with 27 receptions.
Three juniors were named to the list; safety Bradley McDougald, defensive end Toben Oporum and guard Duane Zlatnick. The lone sophomore named was Kansas kicker and punter Ronnie Doherty.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Despite the very real possibility of a loss in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas fans should be thankful for this showdown. The Jayhaws have beaten every team they were supposed to beat, and lost to Kentucky and Duke, the only games they entered as underdogs. Eight games into the season, it's hard to tell if the Jayhawks are solid enough for a long run in the NCAA tournament or if they're nothing more than a second tier team. This game will help define Kansas' place in this season's hierarchy of college basketball.
PLAYER TO WATCH
The long awaited matchup is here: Robinson will go head-to-head with Jared Sullinger, one of the top players in the nation. Similar to Robinson, Sullinger has a reputation as a bruiser in the paint who still needs to work on his jump shot. Robinson sunk mid-range shots routinely against Long Beach State. By replicating his performance, Robinson could prove that Tuesday was no fluke and keep Sullinger guessing. Playing against the best, this game will hint at whether Robinson will be a national player of the year candidate or not.
Thomas Robinson, forward
Can Withey do it again?
QUESTION MARK
Withey looks like a soft rebounder one game, then hunts for a triple-double the next. Kansas will need Withey at his best, especially as a rebounder and shot blocker/alterter. Ohio State shoots the ball too well for Kansas to allow second chances. Withey's rebounding can help prevent those chances and lessen the odds of unanswered runs by the Buckeyes.

TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
Taylor has repeated throughout the season that he wants to lead his team by example. If he really wants to make a leadership statement, he could start by decreasing his turnovers. He's tallied five turnovers in each of the past two games and completely agitated his coach. If he can drop that number to two or three, his teammates could possibly follow his caution with the ball and change their own ways, leading to less turnovers. This kind of domino effect would allow Self to praise, instead of blast his team at post-game press conferences.

Johnson added to his season's highlight reel on Tuesday with a gorgeous and one layup. On a fast break, he charged toward the hoop, slung the ball behind his back, jumped and absorbed contact, then somehow perfectly placed the ball off the glass. Other than the pretty play, Johnson once again disappointed. He fouled out in just 23 minutes played and watched from the sideline as Teahan replaced him to the tune of 14 points and 5 rebounds.

He missed all three of his 3-point attempts, but few are expecting Releford to contribute much as a long range shooter. Expectations save him there, but not in rebounding.

Ohio State comes to Lawrence as the No. 2 team in the nation, just behind Kentucky. The Buckeyes have already played and beaten two top-ten teams this season. They defeated No. 8 Florida, 81-74 on Nov. 15 and knocked off No. 4 Duke on Nov. 29, 85-63. Both games were at home, however, and Saturday will be the team's first road game of the season. They are currently 8-0 and are 12th in the nation in scoring with 82.5 points per game. The Buckeyes won the Big 10 championship last season and were selected by Big 10 media to win the conference this season as well. Coach Thad Matta returns two starters from a team that finished 34-3 a season ago and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament before bowing out in the sweet 16.

Will the Buckeyes experience home sickness?
QUESTION MARK
82
Sullinger collected a truck load of hardware last season as a freshman. He was a Naismith Award finalist, the Big 10 tournament Most Outstanding Player, and was named national Freshman of the Year by multiple outlets. He was also a near-lock as a top-5 pick in June's NBA draft, but he decided to return to the Buckeyes for his sophomore season. He was picked as the Big 10's pre-season Player of the Year, selected as a pre-season 1st-team All-American by numerous outlets and was chosen by cbssports.com as the pre-season National Player of the Year. In seven games this season he's averaged 19.1 points and 10.3 rebound per game and is the best player on the court almost every, if not every single game he plays. He sat out Saturday's win against Texas Pan American with back spasms but is expected to play on Saturday.
Prediction:
Will the Buckeyes experience home sickness? Ohio State has yet to leave Columbus this season, where they've racked up an 8-0 record with two impressive wins. Allen Fieldhouse hasn't hosted a team of Ohio State's ranking or caliber in quite some time, and the crowd will look to give the Buckeyes fits throughout the game. Not only have the Buckeyes yet to leave the friendly confines of Value City Arena in Columbus, the starting five consists of four underclassmen and just one senior. The inexperience was a detriment in last season's sweet 16 loss to Kentucky when the freshmen couldn't handle the pressure from No. 4 seed Kentucky. The Jayhawks won't be able to match that pressure Saturday, and the Buckeyes have beaten tough teams already this season, but as Ohio State's win over Duke showed, getting a team away from home can make things interesting.
Ohio State jumps out to a quick lead and Kansas continues to surrender turnovers. Despite facing strong on-ball pressure, the Buckeyes shoot a high percentage and keep their lead.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
LOSING THE LOTTERY
COMMENTARY
Early morning ritual should be at the Rec
With the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes making the trip to Lawrence on Saturday, basketball campers flocked Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday morning for the lottery of the most anticipated home non-conference game in years. Despite plenty of time to plan ahead, what actually ensued was an unorganized mess, putting the entire camping system in question.
The tradition of basketball camping is entrenched in the college experience of every basketball-crazed student to ever step foot in the Phog. As a blue blood program, seats to basketball games are always in high demand, and the student body's tenacity on a game-by-game basis is comparable to only a handful of other schools across the country.
Like many other seniors at Kansas, I have seen my share of basketball lotteries, and I can't think of a worse run operation than Wednesday morning's debacle. Whenever Big 12 rivals such as Missouri, Kansas State and Texas are to play at Allen Fieldhouse, there is a lottery held inside Allen Fieldhouse itself, with the students sitting in the bleachers.
On Wednesday morning, the Allen Fieldhouse tunnels remained closed, and more than 1,000 students tried to fit in the arena's cramped concourses. It took more than 20 minutes to realize that this was not the appropriate course of action, so the students were alerted to go to the garage adjacent to the Fieldhouse. In line with the unorganized, disastrous theme of the lottery, the students were moved — yet again — outside to the sidewalk in between Allen Fieldhouse and the garage. The sub-freezing temperatures only made the matter worse as a girl was carried off on a stretcher by EMTs.
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Lotteries are never the most enjoyable experience, but the fact is that the individuals organizing the Ohio State lottery should have anticipated the large turnout. The lottery clearly was not coordinated with the Kansas Athletics office or the facilities personnel because there is never a reason for a lottery to take an hour just to get through the first 10 groups that signed up.
Allen Fieldhouse is considered one of the nation's most intimidating basketball venues, and the student body's commitment to their Jayhawks deserves a great deal of the credit. However, I'm starting to believe that Allen Fieldhouse is not the right place to hold lotteries.
Yes, I know it's awesome walking the hallowed hallways of the Fieldhouse at 6 a.m., and you can almost feel the building's tradition at its calmest state. My concern is that those coordinating the lotteries either need to drastically improve their performance or move the lotteries to the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center for now on. The recreation center opens at 5 a.m. on weekdays and provides plenty of space and parking to accommodate the large turnout of big name lotteries.
Camping and lotteries are part of what makes the Kansas basketball tradition great, but the process itself needs to do some serious soul searching.

2: Camping begins at AFH at 6 a.m. the morning after the previous home game.
Edited by Mike Lavieri
CAMPING RULES
New groups sign up at the bottom of the list as they arrive.
3: If more than one group is present at the start of each camping session, a lottery will determine the order. For the lottery, each group will get one drawing for every five members who are present at the lottery. A maximum of 30 group members may be present. A list of groups, in order, is posted on a door.
4: Camping takes place weekdays from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.At each of those times, a mandatory roll call ensures that each group has a representative there.
5. Roll may be called at any time throughout the day by a representative of the athletic department. The person who is calling roll will check the bathrooms and if a member of any group is not present, that group will
be scratched from the list. A list of the date and the time that the group was scratched will be kept.
6: Camping will be cut off to new groups 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ hours before doors open (3 $ \frac{1}{2} $ hours before tip-off).
7: Final roll call is approximately 30 minutes before students can enter AFH (two hours before game time). At final roll call, each group receives its final standing and lines up outside for proper entry to the game.

Davis returns to practice after stress fracture
The injury limited her workouts in the last month
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Carolyn Davis surprised her team and subbed into a four-on-four scrimmage today at practice. The Jayhawks welcomed back their veteran leader who has sat out of practice the last several weeks while nursing a stress fracture in her right foot.
"I am feeling really great," Davis said. "I have been progressing really well and I have been kind of surprised about how much better it is doing."
The injury limited Davis to bike workouts and underwater therapy for the past month. Davis became anxious about losing her rhythm and missing practice time.
Although she was healing, the junior forward did not slow down during her time off and has continued to score double digits in every game, and more than 20 points in three of them. She highlighted her run with 21 points n 36 minutes in the loss to Alabama on Sunday. Davis is expected to be back to full workouts this week.
Sophomore guard Keena Mays scored a career-high 21 points against Alabama. She made four shots from the three-point range. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Mays has become a key offensive player for the Jayhawks.
"I am glad my teammates can depend on me and that I can follow through." Mays said.
With Davis back, Kansas is to ready to host Wisconsin tonight
at 7 p.m. The Jayhawks enter the game with a 7-1 record looking to make up for their loss to Alabama in this Big 12/Big 10 Challenge matchup.
Kansas defeated Wisconsin last season in a 93-86 overtime game. Davis led the Jayhawks with 29 points followed by senior Aishah Sutherland with 16 points and 14 rebounds.
KEENA MAYS Sophomore guard
The Badgers enter tonight's game with a significant change in their lineup after losing three
"I am glad my teammates can depend on me and that I can follow through."
Junior guard Taylor Wurtz leads Wisconsin with 17.2 points per game and 9.2 rebounds. She has an impressive range and a quick shot.
All-Big 10 honors seniors since last season.
"She is a big guard who can shoot the three," Henrickson said.
In their last game, the Jayhawks struggled on the defensive end and gave Alabama easy layups and free throws. The Crimson Tide out-scored the Jayhawks 48-38 in the paint.
"If you go play someone, whether it is at home or on the road, and they are shooting layups
The Jayhawks are continuing to struggle with turnovers, averaging more than 20 per game. Turnovers have almost been split evenly between the guards and forwards through the first eight games, despite 65 assists from point guard Angel Goodrich.
Henrickson said junior guard Angel Goodrich is clearly the best defensive player on the team with five defensive rebounds, two blocks and a steal during the last game.
"The problem is we don't really have a close second" Henrickson said. "Like other areas on the floor, we just need people to step up and play on her level."
After the Wisconsin game, Kansas will take a brief break for finals and will not play again until they host UMKC at 7 p.m. on Dec. 17.
and free throws, you are telling them, 'We can't win,'"Henrickson said.
"I think a lot of times we get too ahead of ourselves and try to make things happen that aren't there," Mays said. "We need to slow it down and let the game come to us."

Johnson struggles with focus, still developing
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Not unlike a few of his teammates this season, and not unlike many players coach Bill Self has had at Kansas, Elijah Johnson spent his first two seasons as more of an apprentice than a stat-sheet stuffer. Those roles went to guys like Sherron Collins, Xavier Henry or Tyrel Reed. Johnson's performances the last two seasons were neither a concern for fans nor vital to a Kansas win or loss. That would change this year. Senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor was the only returning guard with much experience and he knew he would need a sidekick this season.
"I don't think he understands how important he is to this team winning," Taylor said of Johnson.
Of this year's guards, Johnson's 13.7 minutes per game last season were second only to Taylor. With a decent amount of experience and enough athleticism for two men, Johnson seemed like a ripe candidate to team with Taylor on the perimeter this season. However, through eight games he's been more of a solid role player than a partner with Taylor on a team that's eyeing its eighth consecutive Big 12 regular season championship.
Taylor's stat line has been all over the place in this early season, from a 23-point performance against UCLA in the Maui Invitational to an abysmal 1-for-8 performance from behind the three-point line against South Florida last Saturday. Johnson is connecting on three-pointers
just 27.3 percent of the time this season.
"I'm not as much worried about his shot," Bill Self said. "I'm worried about his shot affecting his other play and losing aggression in other areas."
That aggression, teamed with his first-rate athleticism, could wreak havoc throughout the Big 12 this season. Of course, having the tools and putting them all together are not always one and the same. As Self noted, certain players lose focus when their shots aren't falling. Complete players, he said, don't let bad shooting nights affect the rest of their game.
Self called Johnson a complete player but said he just hasn't been able to separate those bad performances this season. He compared shooting to a golfer's swing, saying you can have the same swing twice but encounter two completely different results. Tying that uncertainty to every other aspect of your game, such as defense, could lead to bad results. Self said. Taylor shares a perspective similar to Self's on Johnson's focus.

"He's not all the way in tune all the time," Taylor said concerning Johnson on defense.
Taylor said the struggles are nothing more than bumps in the road, something that most players go through at one time or another.
"It's a lot easier said than done to not get down on yourself when you know you're not playing your best," Taylor said.

Keep an eye out for these six athletes in the new season
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The first meet of the indoor track and field season is already in the books, the new renovations to Anschutz Pavilion have been discussed, and some are still wondering which athletes to keep an eye on this season. With All-Americans returning, high expectations for freshmen and multiple athletes who are sure to be breaking records all season long, this will be a very interesting season for the Jayhawks. Here are a few athletes to watch this season:
Diamond Dixon Sophomore, sprints
Diamond Dixon had an incredible freshman year at KU on the track.
WILLIAM MCCULLOCH
She was named as
Dixon
the Midwest Region Track Athlete
of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) last season and set the women's 400 meter school record. At the Big 12 Outdoor Championships last season, Diamond Dixon took home the 400 meter title and after the season was named the Big 12 Female Outstanding Freshman of the Year. Dixon finished what was already a great year by winning the U.S. junior national title in 400-meters.
Dixon also was a member of the 4x400 meter relay team that broke the school record last season, along with Shayla Wilson, Danesha Morris and the now graduated Kendra Bradley.
Andrea Geubelle Junior, horizontal jump
The junior horizontal jumper returns
10
this season as an All-American in the triple jump. Geubelle had first place finishes in both the long and triple jump competitions last season and became one of only three women in school history to record a 43-foot triple jump. Andrea began the season by taking second place to junior Francine Simpson in the long jump at the Bob Timmons Challenge. Simpson is another jumper who is likely to have a great season for Kansas.
Geubelle
Alisha Keys Freshman, sprints
Winning the 2011 6A Kansas State Championship in the 100 and 200 meters was not enough for Alish
meet as a Jayhawk, Keys finished third in the 200 meter race at the Bob Timmons Challenge. It will be exciting to see how fast this young sprinter really is as the season progresses.
Keys. She actually ran the fastest 100 meter time ever recorded in high school by a woman in Kansas with a time of 11.52. In her first

Mason Finley Junior, shot put
Finley has compiled a sce m i ng l y endless list of achievements in just two years at Kansas. He has been an A-Ime

can in the shot put both years. Finishing second in both the Big 12 Championships and NCAA National Championships, his biggest achievement came earlier in the season. In the Border Showdown against Missouri, Finley's 20.71 meter shattered all kinds of record. The throw qualified for both the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 Olympic Games. The sky
Finley
is the limit for Mason Finley this season in the shot put.
Look for him to compete for a NCAA title this year in the event and make sure to see one of his shot puts in person, for they will most likely be breaking records.
Donny Wasinger Senior, distance running
Wasinger missed the entire cross-country season because of an injury, but bit
1
achilles tendon healed just in time to begin the indoor season. With a strong recovery he won the 3,000 meter race and was a winning member of the distance medley team at the Bob Timmons Challenge. He was second team All-American in 1,500 meters last season and will try for his best season in his senior year. Look for him to be a leader
to some of the younger runners on the team.
Wasinger
Kyle Clemons Junior, sprints
Clemons has only been running track since his junior year of high school, but that has not stopped him fron
Clemons
competing with some of the best collegiate sprinters in the nation. In June Clemons said that his goal for this year is to be the 400 meter Big 12 Champion, which is a real possibility. He ran his best 400 meters last year in the NCAA National Championships at 46.11. That time is the sixth fastest in school history. Be sure to watch Kyle Clemons in the 4x400 meter relay race as he leads what could be a very young but fast relay group.

Obama makes time for Bill Self
HANNAH WISE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
President Barack Obama flew to Osawatson Tuesday, where he was greeted by a familiar face; men's basketball coach Bill Self.
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Self was invited to meet Obama — who was in town to give a speech on the economy — not by a phone call or someone coming to Lawrence requesting his presence, but rather through an email. However, the one problem that arose from this email invitation was the meeting time.
"I got an email yesterday inviting me to come meet the President," Self said in a news release. "It said that his speech would last until 2 p.m., and I thought, 'I can't do that,' because I have shoot-around. So I received an email back saying, he understands, he just wants to meet you."
Self knew he couldn't pass up the chance, so he drove 1 hour and 15 minutes to Osawatomie.
But the conversation that Self had with Obama didn't last long, as the President had other priorities.
"It is amazing what these people have to go through, because every second of their life is planned out."
President Obama waves to the audience after finishing his remarks Tuesday afternoon in Osawatomie. The President struck a populist tone in a speech that received wide-spread media attention. Hundreds of people stood in line for the chance to see the speech in person.
Self said. "He gave me, like, six minutes to talk, and I think he was only allotted five."
But in those few minutes that Self got to talk to Obama, Self realized the president knows his basketball
Self couldn't resist the temptation to joke around with the President about selecting Kansas in March Madness for two consecutive years.
"The talk about him being a big basketball fan is not just talk," Self said. "He legitimately knows a lot of what's going on in college athletics."
"I told him, 'With all due respect, Mr. President, just don't pick us to win anything ever again,' because he picked us two years in a row, so he had a good sense of humor about it," Self said.
Will Obama be tempted to take the Jayhawks for a third-straight year? He started asking questions about the current team, almost like he was scouting for when he analyzes his bracket with ESPN's Andy Katz.
"I told him that I like our guys because they try hard." Self said. "We are not quite as deep as we have been in the past, but I do believe that we have a chance."
The meeting on Tuesday marked the third time Self has met the president while at the University of Kansas. He met President Clinton in 2004 when he visited with Senator Bob Dole. Then in 2008, he met President Bush after he and the Jayhawks defeated Memphis to win the national championship.
"But meeting President Obama was a great treat and is certainly one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities" Self said. "It was a no brainer for me to go."

Interim football coach Reggie Mitchell has been with the University of Kansas for a total of 10 years in two different stints. On Wednesday, Kansas Athletics confirmed that next season will be number 11.

Interim coach to stay on staff for next year
speculate as to what position Mitchell will hold for the Jayhawks next season, and they will not do so until a new coach has been hired.
Mitchell, who previously held the position of running backs coach and recruiting coordinator for the Jayhawks, has been on the road recruiting. He began the search shortly after Kansas head coach Turner Gill was fired.
Mitchell has been recruiting with wide receivers coach
As the coaching search continues to provide uncertainty for Kansas football fans, they can at least know one thing for sure: Mitchell will be back on the Jayhawks sidelines next year.
Mitchell came to Kansas with Gill, who was hired in December of 2009, after spending five seasons as the recruiting coordinator and running backs' coach at Illinois. This has been Mitchell's second round with the Jayhawks, as he coached with former Kansas football coach Glen Mason from 1988-1996.
David Beatty and defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt. While Beatty and Wyatt's futures at Kansas remain unknown, they, along with Mitchell, have been recruiting in an effort to retain previous Kansas commitments. They've also been continuing their recruiting efforts for their previous targets who have not yet made commitments.

Season Grade: A
Record: 11-1
Bowl: Fiesta Bowl
Best Win: 44-10 against
Oklahoma
The Cowboys started out the season with two goals in mind. The first was to defeat Oklahoma, which they hadn't done since 2002, and the second was to win a conference championship, which they hadn't done since they shared the 1976 Big Eight title. The Cowboys achieved both goals, despite seeing star wide receiver Justin Blackmon's touchdowns and receiving yards decrease. Joseph Randle emerged as a scoring threat on the ground; he rushed for 23 touchdowns on the year. The Cowboys' lone blemish came in Ames, Iowa, in double overtime. Although the loss ultimately kicked them out of the BCS championship game, Cowboy fans can still view the season as a success.
OU
OKLAHOMA
Season Grade: B
Record: 9-3
Bowl: Insight Bowl
Best Win: 58-17 against
Kansas State
What would be considered a pretty good year by many fan bases is seen as an utter disappointment in Norman, Okla., where the season began with a unanimous No. 1 ranking and ended without even a January bowl game. The wheels started coming off the Sooner Schooner when the team lost at home to Texas Tech. Quarterback Landry Jones did not perform up to expectations, posting a two to one touchdown to interception ration. Jones struggled down the stretch after he lost all-time NCAA receptions leader Ryan Broyles for the season. Jones threw no touchdown passes in his teams final three games, and the Sooners relied more and more on the legs of freshman quarterback Blake Bell, who ran for seven touchdowns in the Sooner's final three games.
MISSOURI
Season Grade: B
Record: 7-5
Bowl: Independence Bowl
Best Win: 38-31 overtime
victory against Texas A&M
The Tigers struggled out of the gate as they adjusted to first time starter James Franklin under center, but Missouri finished strong, winning four of its last five games to clinch a winning record. The big drama came in the middle of the season when rumors started swirling that Missouri might join Texas A&M in making the jump to the SEC after the season. The rumors turned true in early November, when the Tigers officially announced they were moving. With a comeback win against Kansas in what might be the last Border Showdown in the foreseeable future, Missouri took the series lead according to both schools and exited the Big 12 triumphantly, despite failing to win a single Big 12 conference title in football.

In most parts, a 6-6 record wouldn't be worthy of a B grade, but when the Cyclones defeated Oklahoma State at home to become bowl eligible on November 18, Cyclones and coach Paul Rhodes showed how far the program has come in just three years under his reign. Quarterback Steele Jantz excited the Cyclone fan base early, but his erratic play found him a nice seat on the pine. Jared Barnett came on as his replacement and helped propel Iowa State in their big upset victory. The Cyclones may have finished the season at .500, but they laid a good foundation for the future this season.

KU
The Jayhawks did not look competitive for most of the season, and their 2011 defense is one that will live on in the record books of many other teams as they finished dead last in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 43.8 points per game. Their offense started off hot but finished the season just as fustle. Of quarterback Jordan Webb's 13 touchdown passes, just two came over the team's final seven games. The kick to the proverbial groin came in the final Border Showdown for the foreseeable future where quarterback James Franklin threw more touchdown passes to Kansas players than the Jayhawks' own quarterback did. The one area where the Jayhawks excelled was their running attack, which featured four underclassmen who will be able to contribute for years to come. Jayhawk fans' only enjoyment pertaining to football lies in their speculation about who their next coach will be.

Longhorn fans were happy to see quarterback Garrett Gilbert benched after the Longhorn's victory over BYU. The Longhorns offense lacked much of a kick during the season, as Mack Brown shuffled between Case McCoy and David Ash for most of the season before settling in with McCoy for the final two games. Ash struggled in the passing game, throwing three touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year, and could not do enough with his legs to remove some of the pressure. The Longhorns survived the season by relying on a stingy defense that allowed 20 points or less eight times on the year.

BAYLOR
The main storyline for Baylor this season was quarterback Robert Griffin III's quest for the Heisman. He started the season throwing more touchdowns than incompleteness through the first three games and although he couldn't keep that torrid pace going, he still played electric enough to receive an invite to New York as a Heisman finalist, and has a good chance to strike the famous pose on Saturday night. Griffin's best game was a four-touchdown, 447-yard performance against Oklahoma where his 34-yard touchdown pass to Terrence Williams with eight seconds left reignited his Heisman bid.
KANSAS STATE
Season Grade: A
Record: 10-2
Bowl: Cotton Bowl
Best Win: 36-35 against
Baylor
The Wildcats came out of nowhere to challenge for the Big 12 title on the legs of quarterback Collin Klien and a stingy defense. Klean ran 26 touchdowns in for the Wildcats, 23 more than the Wildcats' second leading rusher. The Wildcats played in many close games, but Bill Snyder put them in a good enough position so that their record in one-score games was 8-1. Although Wildcat fans might be disappointed that their team didn't receive a bid to a BCS bowl, they can celebrate with a 10-win team that greatly overachieved this season, and greatly exceeded expectations.

The Red Raiders started fast against a relatively easy non-conference schedule that left them untested as they raced out to a 4-0 record to open the season. Things started to cool off following two close losses before the Red Raiders upset Oklahoma in Norman, Okla. Following their upset, the Red Raiders forgot how to be competitive in the Big 12 as they dropped their next three games 159-31. Quarterback Seth Doege started the season strong but fell apart after beating Oklahoma, throwing just six touchdowns over his final five games.

The Aggies entered the season stirring the pot of controversy trying to land an invite to the SEC, they got the invite and almost took down the Big 12 conference with them. The big storyline surrounding the Aggies was their inability to finish off games, they blew second half leads in five of their six losses, which eventually led to the dismissal of coach Mike Sherman following the Aggies defeat in the Lone Star Showdown. They leave the Big 12 with only one conference championship to their name.

EDILLOH'S NO11E
When it comes to a life motto, mine's pretty simple: do what you love. This is obviously taken from the Bob Marley "do what you love, love what you do" quote that's relatively popular among college students. But what's interesting is that I've been implementing this motto into my day-to-day life before I knew who Bob Marley was.
My parents have always told me that no matter what I ended up doing with my life, I absolutely had to do something that made me happy, regardless of what anyone else thought. Granted, there's been nudging into certain academic directions and I've always been pretty self-motivated.
But taking the "do what you love" approach to life has really helped me out when making life decisions, especially in college. I enrolled as a journalism major — which hasn't changed — but my post-
graduation plans have. I used to picture myself as a news anchor or newspaper reporter, ignoring the fact that, while I appreciate hard-hitting journalism, my real passion was the more editorial writing found in magazines. Plus, if you know anything about me, you know I'm more inclined to talk fashion trends than political agendas. I decided junior year that magazines and publishing were where my real interests lie, and I haven't looked back since. I might not have the exact post-grad plan I always assumed I'd have with TV or newspaper, but, staying true to my motto, I'm doing what I love.
I think college students sometimes feel "stuck" within a major and, ultimately, a career path. But it's interesting that some graduates choose to forgo the typical corporate job route. Instead "do what they love" and work alternative jobs, such as the Peace Corps or Teach for America. For more on students' experiences with finding solace in alternative careers, read Christine's story on page eight.
With finals next week, remember that acing your biology test or Spanish paper isn't worth the stress. That is, unless studying is "doing what you love."

KANSAS IN HEAT // FIVE HOLIDAY SEX POSITIONS
> Tackling the sticky world of relationships.
The giver lies on the floor at the edge of the bed or couch, rests his/her legs on the bed or couch, and lifts his/her hips and back off the floor. Place a pillow under the lower back for added comfort and support during thrusting. The receiver faces and straddles the giver on all fours. This angle allows him/her to stuff his/ her face full of your milk and cookies!
2. Santa's Sleigh Ride
The giver stands at the edge of the bed or couch and faces away from the bed or couch. The receiver straddles the giver, lifts their body into the air, and places both feet firmly on the edge of the bed or couch. For the standing partner, use proper lifting technique; always bend at the knees and keep your back straight. For the suspended partner, hold on tight and aim to maintain your center of gravity close to your partner.
3. Stocking Stuffer
The giver sits on the edge of the bed or couch and the receiver straddles the giver with both legs resting, slightly bent, on the bed or couch. While firmly holding hands, the receiver leans back, off the edge of the bed or couch and the giver remains sitting upright. Unfortunately, the position isn't great for generating vertical movement, so a rocking motion will be required to create horizontal movement.
4. Down the Chimney with Care
Flexibility is necessary for this 69 position. Facing the same direction, one partner stands, feet shoulder-width apart, while the other partner is seated directly underneath on the floor. The standing partner bends over at the waist and touches the ground with their hands. The receiving partner is seated upright on the floor with their legs fully extended in front of them. At this point, both partners can orally stimulate each other.

This position provides an amazing way to achieve deep penetration and massage the receiver's g-spot. The receiver lies on their back and lifts both their hips and legs into the air. The giver kneels, facing the receiver, and penetrates. The receiver's leg positions can be modified in numerous ways: both legs over to one side, raising them over the giver's shoulders, or keeping feet together and spreading knees wide. The receiver can also place their feet on the giver's chest to bear some of the weight as the giver leans over top.

HOW WE MET // ALLEY WILLIAMS & ZACH JORDAN > All great relationships had to start somewhere
> All great relationships had to start somewhere.
Alley Williams, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and Zach Jordan, a senior from Hays, immediately noticed each other in their philosophy discussion class freshman year. Zach never tried to start anything because he assumed Alley was dating a guy in their class. But though Alley wasn't dating the guy Zach expected, she did in fact have a boyfriend.
The next lecture, Alley sat in the same area she had seen Zach before, hoping to get his attention, but he sat somewhere else. Alley kept trying the next few classes until they finally ended up close enough to start a conversation. Alley and Zach both take credit for starting the conversation, but it wasn't as smooth as either had hoped for. "You're that girl in my discussion right? Abby isn't it?" Zach says. When Alley relied with, "not quite," embarrassed, Zach thought he'd ruined his chances.
He hadn't. The two continued talking for the rest of that lecture. By midterms Zach finally worked up the courage to tell Alley how he felt, though he knew she had a boyfriend. "Up to this point I had respected her relationship," Zach says. "But I needed her to know how I felt."
BAILEY ATKINSON
It turns out Alley felt the same way. "I knew right when I met him he would be someone that I just had to keep in my life," she says. Less than a week later Alley broke up with her boyfriend and the two started spending time together. It's been two-and-a-half years since the two started dating and they plan to move in together in the spring after Alley graduates.

Holiday Giving

The Perfect Present: The more personal the gift,
the better.
BAILEY ATKINSON
Each year, people rush out to stores in the early morning hours on the day after Thanksgiving to save a little money on perfect gift. While finding the best deal is the main purpose of Black Friday, people shop with their gift list in mind. During the holiday season, gifts are exchanged between couples, friends and Secret Santa groups, regardless of the bad economy.
A gift exchange is almost always inevitable for couples during the holiday season, but it can lead to many obstacles when choosing a gift for one another. For Katie Hobbs, a senior from Wichita and boyfriend Steven Wagoner, a senior also from Wichita, this hasn't changed over time. When the two first started dating, Hobbs found it difficult to choose a gift for Wagoner. Last year, after being together for almost a year, Hobbs still struggled to find the perfect present, so she enlisted the help of her brother and father.
This year Hobbs started planning her gift early. The ideas came easier this holiday season and she's excited to see Wagoner's expression when he opens his gift. "At first I had to get the perfect gift to impress him," she says. "Now it doesn't matter because he'll like whatever I give him and there's no pressure."
When selecting a gift for a friend rather than a significant other, it's best to use a different approach. The gift doesn't have to be exact right — it just needs to mean something. V. Oliver, author of The Millionaire's Hand. How to Look and Act Like a Millionaire. If You're Not says that giving personal best for friends. Selecting a gift based specific interest makes the gift more al. "Let's say someone likes something, Oliver says. "Something silly like a pink perfect."
But silly gifts aren't always the best gifts to give. "Don't buy a toaster unless you know the person needs a toaster," Oliver says. "Ask the person what they like, if it's a toaster, then by all means, buy it."
One scenario where funny presents are acceptable is through a Secret Santa gift exchange. Chenin Pecora, a senior from Dallas, is participating in a gift exchange with her roommates this year before leaving for winter break. "We all know everyone really well so it will be fun to see what everyone gives each other," Pecora says.
Aside from fun, Secret Santa also is a great way to include multiple people without having to blow your budget. Organize a group of friends, co-workers or family members and then set a spending limit.
With a poor economy, cutting back on holiday spending might seem imperative. But Oliver says when money is tight, the best thing to do is get creative. A great idea is to give 'IOUs' for things such as a backrub or a home-cooked meal because they can be used at any time during the year.
Things to know before giving gifts this season:
Don't give suggestive gifts such as perfume or lingerie
Humorous gifts often fail flat.
Give presents to others that you love; there's a higher chance they'll love it too.
In lean times, it is okay to set a cap limit on gifts.
Experiences matter more than gifts. Gifts that show you want to spend time together are more significant than gifts that show you spent a lot of money.
Re-gifting is OK if you know the receiver will enjoy it.
Forcing someone to open a gift in front of you puts them on the spot.
Gift baskets are corporate gifts and aren't very personal.
Planning ahead pays off.

Don't Sweat: It's Only Your Dream Job How to nail an interview
CHRIS NEAL
They're watching you. Every move you make, every word you say, and even the way you sit and what you wear is being judged. No, this isn't "Big Brother" staring you down; it's the guys on the other end of the table asking you questions that will directly affect your future. This is a job interview.
It sounds scary, and for many it can be pretty terrifying. However, University students have a special trick known as the mock interview. It sounds odd, but these faux interviews, available through the University Career Center, allow you to screw up as many times as you want by saying the wrong things, wearing the wrong clothes and acting the wrong way without having it hurt you.
One nice feature of mock interviews is that each interview is videotaped, so you can see the things you did right and the things you did wrong. But you don't even need to show up to the Career Center to improve your interviewing skills according to Melissa Needham, an intern and employer in the mock interview process.
"Students can go online and use a simulated interview that they get with their webcam. Then we'll review their video feed and give students feedback via e-mail."
The interview preparation checklist:
To make your interview experience less stressful, here's list of things to go over before showing up.
Do your research. One thing that will give you an edge over your competition is being well-informed about the company. Knowing about
It may seem old-fashioned, but the questions asked during these mock interviews often come straight from a book. The career center offers a book full of typical interview questions broken up into several different job fields. No matter what type of job you're interviewing for; there's always specific questions in stock that the mock interviews can address and better prepare you for.
Know when, where and how. Make sure you are 100 percent positive on the time and location of the interview. To help keep you on time, make sure to scout the area where your interview is so you're aware of any road
Collin Kitzerow, a first-year student in the University of Kansas School of Medicine from Overland Park, had mock interviews with the University Career Center a total of seven times before nailing the interview that got him into medical school. After three mock interviews and his first med. school interview last year, Kitzerow says he was still nervous when talking about himself in interview settings. But without the help and preparation, he says he probably would have never been accepted into the program. "I would have had a completely different result had I not done it," Kitzerow says. "Going through those fake interviews helped me become comfortable with talking and being myself."
the company gives you the opportunity to ask questions. Doing this shows you're dedicated to the job at hand.
However, some questions that are addressed during the process are behavioral questions. "I will ask you some behavioral interviewing questions where I give you scenarios and you tell me how you would react in a certain situation," says Sean Dowling, a career coach for the University Career Center.
construction or delays that may keep you from otherwise being on time.
Don't be afraid to overdress. Overdressing for an interview isn't such a bad thing. Since first impressions are everything, set out what you're wearing to the interview the night before. This helps you stay on time to your interview by not scrambling for clothes.
Photo illustration by Travis Young Professional Preparation: Mock interviews and doing your research better equip you for your next interview.
Put the past in your pocket. During your interview, you can almost bet that you'll be asked questions relating to your personal strengths. This is where you should have your past experiences ready to help you out. It's always good to answer by telling a story as an example of your strengths.

Working to Serve
When leaving for work in the morning, Megan Maksimowicz, an alumna from Wichita, doesn't head to an office building in a big city. Instead, she walks across red dirt scattered with green bushes, passing small, identical

houses.
During her senior year of college, Maksimowicz had a tough time deciding whether or not to pursue graduate school after majoring in atmospheric sciences. When a professor mentioned the Peace Corps, Maksimowicz decided
to take a chance. "I hadn't had a break from school, and it seemed like if I was going to join the Peace Corps, it might be my only chance for a long time," Maksimowicz says.
Other students close to graduation are turning to similar opportunities. Instead of plunging into the 9 to 5 corporate world, almost-graduates are looking for alternative job options Besides the Peace Corps, Teach for America is another popular choice, not only nationally, but also at the University of Kansas.
Wendy Shoemaker, senior associate director at the University Career Center, says that students pursue these options because they're looking for a bridge experience. "It offers a transition between college life and whatever is next," she says. "Alternative job options are different and they offer skill development and experiences that are appealing."
Since 2008, Teach for America at the University has received almost 100 applications per year, an increase from the typical 70 or so applications four years ago, says Jeff Braum, Teach for America's on-campus recruiting manager. The University ranks 25th for top colleges nationally that have produced the most Peace Corps volunteers, with almost 500 joining since 1961.
Nationally, the application process for the 2011 Teach for America corps was more competitive than in years past with an 11 percent acceptance rate, according to a Teach for America press release. Peace Corps application numbers align with season trends, and roughly one in three applications are selected to the Peace Corps, says Emily Sharp, the University's Peace Corps recruiter.
While the Peace Corps and Teach for America have different agendas, their core mission is the same: integrate qualified, passionate volunteers into needy communities and help those less fortunate. But what else makes these organizations so highly sought after by graduating students?

The Peace Corps
For 27 months, Peace Corps volunteers live in communities spanning 75 countries that request assistance. From education to public health to youth development, volunteers not only help the community and its members, but also fully integrate themselves as a member of their society.
But before they're accepted as volunteers, applicants must endure a year-long process. Adam Erickson, a senior from Chanute., knows how intense applying for the Peace Corps is. Erickson is currently in the nomination stage of the process, meaning he's completed the first part of applying, which included sending in letters of reference, essays, submitting basic background information and participating in on-campus interviews.
Now as a nominee, Erickson knows he will be teaching English in Eastern Europe. If he passes medical exams and the Peace Corps has a definite spot for him, he will depart in September 2012 for a three-month training session and for his specified location.
The Peace Corps looks for people with a strong commitment to humanitarian service, self-reliance and an ability to "roll with the punches," says Sharp, the University's Peace Corps recruiter. Living in a community with a different culture doesn't always go as planned. "In many of our host communities, life moves at a slower pace," Sharp says. "Things don't always work as reliably or efficiently."

Peace Corps volunteers are project managers, says LaShonda Walker, public affairs specialist at the Peace Corps regional office. They use the skills they've learned to help make a community a better place, while getting international work experience.
While Peace Corps volunteers practice their skills and learn about different cultures, they also receive financial benefits. Sharp says the Peace Corps covers all fees and makes ar-

How to find more alternative job options:
"Students need to consider lots of different alternative job options because it's not one size fits all," Wendy Shoemaker, senior associate director at the University Career Center says.
Alternative job options can range in terms of length, skill sets required and the experience a person will gain. The website www.idealist.org helps with finding non-profit and volunteer opportunities across the world.
Idealist's mission is to "connect people, organizations and resources to help build a world where people can live free and dignified lives," according to its website.

She doesn't have running water, and must carry buckets of water dispensed from a pipe back to her house. It's a 25-minute walk from the nearest vegetable stand, and a 30-minute bus ride to the nearest town.
Maksimowicz says the culture, living conditions and working in the school have changed her for the better. "I'll never know the actual, long-term impact of the things I do here," Maksimowicz says. "But the sense of accomplishment I feel, every time a student makes an improvement or I learn about the culture here, are worth the difficult times."
Teach for America
Kayla Kuhl, a 2011 an alumna from Shawnee, says she felt both nervous and excited when 30 ninth-grade students walked into her math classroom outside of Atlanta at the beginning of the school year. She had no idea what to expect. While playing get-to-know-you games, one student stood up and said, "I have a bad attitude." Kuhl says she knew she might have her work cut out for her. "I was nervous the entire day just being in charge of all of them," she says.
Despite majoring in civil engineering, Kuhl opted to apply for Teach for America her senior year after assisting a Teach for America teacher in Chicago over winter break. "Thinking about how much of an impact those five days had on me and the students, I couldn't even imagine how great the impact would be if it turned into two years," Kuhl says.
Accepted alongside 12 other University students last school year, Kuhl is now working to complete her Masters in Education from Georgia State University, while teaching five classes and tutoring students.
Nationally, Teach for America is expanding. Currently in 43 cities, by 2015, the organization plans to reach 60 cities, says Alicia Herald, executive director at Teach for America in Kansas City.
The organization is also growing among applicants, the majority being recent college graduates, says Kaitlin Gastrock, Teach for America's regional communications director. Seventy-seven percent of the 2011 Teach for America members are recent graduates. "There's a spirit among graduating seniors looking for a way to have an immediate impact," Gastrock says.
Teach for America's on-campus presence helps produce consistent numbers of applicants, says Braum, the University's recruiting manager. He says students look for ways to give back, while also accelerating their career. Teach for America members do this by gaining real-world experience while helping students with little educational support.
Before acceptance into Teach for America, applicants must apply, teach a five-minute sample lesson, interact with other applicants and participate in a personal interview. Once accepted, members are sent to low-income communities to provide educational opportunities to students.
Teach for America doesn't look for a specific type of person during the interview process, but they do look for certain skills. Past leadership roles, strong critical thinking and interpersonal skills are traits that stand out, according to the Teach for America website.
Nora Burt, an alumna from Libertyville, Ill., and Teach for America member, teaches high school Spanish in Kansas City. Her classroom sizes are larger about 30 students—and she teaches five classes a day. Every day she plans in-class activities for the students, including group and individual work, and comes up with fun ways to engage her students.
Although Teach for America members learn the basics of lesson planning during their training institute, it's up to them to craft plans to engage their own students. Because of the nature of her job, Burt, and other Teach for America members, put hours into planning lessons.
"It's not just a resume builder," Burt says.
"It's something that you really need to feel passionately about, because you're responsible for the education of these students who may not have had the best learning experiences in the past."
Teachers in the program make a two-year commitment, and are considered part of their school's faculty. They receive a full first-year teacher's salary, ranging from $29,000 to $51,000 based on region, Baum says. They also receive a federal loan forbearance and education stipend. When teachers' two years are up, schools can decide to hire them or not.
Besides monetary benefits, Teach for America members also see students improve in their learning. However, it's an up and down process that can sometimes be frustrating.
Kuhl says one of the hardest parts of her job is keeping her students motivated. Less than half of her students do their homework and it's hard to get them caught up to the educational level they should be performing at. She also says most of them don't see a future for themselves. "I can see all of my students have so much potential, but I just wish they could see that for themselves," Kuhl says. "If I see a student's grades are slipping, I find time to talk to them. It makes a big difference when I have a personal relationship with them."
The opportunity to help and relate with students is what Gastrock, Teach for America's regional communications director, says is so appealing to almost-graduates. "It's one of the hardest jobs, but also one of the most rewarding. You can find a way to service a community and find personal fulfillment."

GOOD FOR YOU, BAD FOR YOU// Sometimes it's hard to tell. WEARING SOCKS TO BED
Kayleen Lindstrom, a freshman from St. Charles, Mo., layers her clothing before going to sleep when it's cold outside, wearing pants, long-sleeves and tall socks. She says she cold easily during the night, so she wears socks because when her toes are warm, so is the rest of her body. "I love socks," Lindstrom says. "I have a drawer in my dorm dedicated to socks."
Wearing socks on cold feet to bed has benefits such as helping you sleep better and increasing your blood circulation, says Ted King, doctor and National Medical Director of Vein Clinics of America. "If my feet are cold, I'm probably not going to fall asleep near as quickly as when my feet are hot," King says.
Though there's no danger if your feet get hot from wearing socks, but you may lose sleep because the heat will wake you up more often. Your body always generates the same amount of heat whether you wear socks or not, remaining at 98.6 degrees, unless you have a fever. "You don't really have the potential of causing any type of heat damage or thermal injury if you're a diabetic with loss of sensation and wearing socks," King says.
Tall socks are OK to wear even if they feel slightly tight because they aren't applying any significant amount of pressure. Wearing tall, tight socks may make your feet feel better at the end of the day because the pressure increases circulation, which can help your legs feel less tired, less heavy and have less swelling. King says. "I don't know of any good reason why somebody should be concerned about wearing a sock if they want to," he says.
Verdict: Good for you, especially tall socks.

THAT'S DISGUSTING // GAS PUMP HANDLES
> If you're going to do it, be smart.
87
91/7
Photo by Bre Roach Fuel Up On Germs! One study shows that gas pump handles are breeding grounds for bacteria.
The bathroom floor, toilet seat and door knobs all have one thing in common: germs. We're taught to wash our hands before we leave the restroom and to open the door with our elbows as we exit, but what advice are we given for other surfaces that we touch daily?
New evidence shows gas station handles are the filthiest things to touch, and it makes sense. Kimberly-Clark Professional had a team of hygienists swab hundreds of surfaces in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Miami and Dallas to find the filthiest, and gas pumps were the top offender. Alina Selyukh, reporter for Reuters, noted that the researchers tested surfaces for levels of adenosine triphosphate, which "signals the presence of animal, vegetable, bacteria, yeast or mold cells, and the high levels found suggest they can be transmitting illness."
People commute every day and commuting requires gas, so they stop to fill up and grab the handle after petting their dog riding in the passenger seat or cleaning up their baby's puke from the backseat.
Driving to class only increases the chances of touching these disgusting handles more. Rachel Burton, a senior from Topeka, drives to class, requiring her to fill up every two days. "I usually grab it with my sleeve," Burton says.
One possible fix? Perhaps latex gloves could be provided next to the windshield washing mixture beside the trash cans.

Slow Down & Chew
Eating healthy and slowly helps you during both finals and the holidays
When Eric Yong eats dinner, he usually sits down with two of his four roommates in the living room where they watch TV. Yong, a senior from Lenexa, says he eats his meals in 10 minutes, whether he's in a hurry or not because he's always been a fast eater. He also says he eats fast food and snacks often. "I think it's OK because we know we're young and we stay pretty active," he says. Yong says he loves to eat, especially around the holidays when he goes back to Lenexa for winter break.
The end of the semester is quickly approaching with finals and winter break just days away. A downside to this is when busy students are constantly on-the-go, they tend to eat their meals faster, which can lead to stomach problems and overeating. This is also common around the holidays; you want to try one of everything because it all looks and smells so good. But it's just as important to eat slowly as it is healthily because of short- and long-term effects.
When Yong eats fast, he doesn't give his body enough time to break down the food chemically before it's broken down physically. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth while chewing your food because the secreted saliva breaks down starches with an enzyme called ptyalin, says Andrew W. Saul, a natural health educator who runs www.doctoryourself.com. But when you chew proteins, you're only making them smaller, so the stomach can physically break them down.
Changing your eating environment can help you relax, so you'll be less likely to eat quickly. To have a peaceful environment, turn off the TV and cell phone, and instead listen to music or talk with friends about non-serious issues, Saul says.
If you don't allow your mouth to chemically break down food, you can have indigestion, acid reflux and possible chronic problems from the extra strain on your stomach and intestines, Saul says. When you chew food longer, the more satisfying it is, the less likely you are to overeat, and more food is absorbed. Because your stomach's stretch receptors signal your brain when you're full, eating slower gives your stomach time to tell your brain when you've reached that limit.
Siobhan Barrett has always eaten quickly, but since taking 16 credit hours, volunteering at two organizations and working a part-time job, she has little time to eat her meals. Barrett, a freshman from Lenexa, admits even when she has time to enjoy her meals, she still eats fast, unless she's with friends. "My parents always scolded me for it [eating fast]," she says. "They say, 'slow down, you're going to get a stomachache.'"
And Barrett has experienced occasional stomachaches, but no other short-term effects. There are serious long-term effects though if people are not careful. Obesity is the most common effect because a few extra calories can lead to weight gain, and a lot of extra weight can lead to chronic problems, says David Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center. Other long-term problems such as bulimia, or binge eating, can lead to a ruptured stomach or esophagus.
We have hectic schedules that don't allow us much time, so we choose foods we can eat
fast. But these foods are the most unhealthy because they're highly-processed, or contain a lot of ingredients. Healthy foods have more volume and take more time to chew.
But we should not eat these highly unprocessed foods because the food we eat makes up our body, Katz says. When your hormones, enzymes and proteins are used up they need to be replaced with new ones. The construction material that builds your body is made out of the food you eat.
It's not too late to change your eating habits. Eat foods close to nature and foods with shorter ingredient lists because they are usually healthier, and reduce your reliance on fast foods. Fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, seafood, lean meats and low- or non-fat dairy are the best foods, Katz says.
Because it's inevitable that people are on-the-go, Katz recommends making a snack-pack by filling a lunch box or bag with fruits, veggies, nuts, dried fruit, yogurt or any convenient healthy foods.
Sarah Roberts only has 20 minutes to get from job to job each morning at 11 a.m. In this time, Roberts, a graduate student from Carlsbad, New Mexico, either eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, yogurt or nuts to satisfy her stomach for the next few hours. Roberts plans out her meals in advance so she not only has time to eat, but so she can control what she eats.
Planning meals ahead allows you to make well-informed decisions instead of waiting until the last minute and eating unhealthily. For the holiday season, Katz recommends making an "agreement" between yourself and food. He says this makes it less tempting when deciding if you should eat one or two pieces of dessert.
In the agreement, state that you won't eat food that's your weakness, such as pie, or make your first plate of food full of veggies, so you can somewhat fill up on healthy food. "It's actually not all that hard," Katz says.

BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS// > If you're going to do it, be smart. WHOLE GRAINS
While Metzger makes conscious decisions to eat whole grains instead of refined grains, "less than 5 percent of Americans consume the minimum recommended amount of whole grains, which for many is about a 3-ounce equivalent per day," according to Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Instead of buying white bread, buy whole grain bread to get the needed nutrients. Whole grains, such as oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice, and whole wheat, contain the bran, germ and endosperm of the grain, which is the healthiest part, says Nancy Donahey, a dietitian in the Diabetes Education Center at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Anastasia Metzger grew up eating wheat bread because her mom told her it's healthier than eating white bread. Metzger, a senior from Wichita, says she continues to eat whole grain breads and pastas at least three times a week because it's healthy and she enjoys the nutty flavor.
Whole grains are nutritious with vitamins B and E, fiber, magnesium, iron, and zinc, helping lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

When grains go through the milling process and are cracked or crushed, the nutrients are taken out and then added back to its original amount. Refined grains go through the same process, but not all of the nutrients are added back, leaving out the bran and germ, Donahey says. When the germ, or fat, is taken out, it lengthens the shelf life for the grains.
Great Grains: Switching from white bread to whole grain can help fight heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Don't be fooled when shopping for whole grain products. Labels that say "multi-grain," "100% wheat," or "seven-grain," don't necessarily mean they're whole grains.

SCENE & HEARD // BIRD DOG
> New places, new faces.
Eating on campus has never tasted so good. Bird Dog provides campus visitors with great food that won't leave a hole in their wallets and will satisfy just about any appetite.
Bird Dog, located on the first floor of The Oread, features an American sportsman theme with each dining table named after a dog belonging to one of the restaurant's owners. While you enjoy your favorite food and drink, you can also watch a game on one of the 11 50-inch flat-screen televisions.
Chase Vaughn, sophomore from Iola, is a big fan of its Sunday deals and says it's a great place to hang with friends or family when they're on campus. "I always order the chicken strips on Sundays. They're only $1.50 a piece," he says. "The first time I bit into one, it was like love at first bite."
Bird Dog server Jake McNiel says he notices students coming into the restaurant frequently. "With our specials and wide range of food selection, Bird Dog is affordable on any budget and it's tasty. We recently changed our menu and I think it's better then ever," McNiel says. "I would definitely order the chicken
nachos or have our hand-breaded chicken fingers. These have always been the Bird Dog favorites and will always be my favorites."
If you're in the neighborhood and your stomach needs some loving, head to Bird Dog inside The Oread at 1200 Oread Ave. They're open 11 a.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

STAGE PRESENCE // WRONG KATA TRIO
> Feel free to swoon.
Wrong Kata Trio, a three-piece ensemble from Lawrence, should serve as a reminder that music doesn't have to adhere to trends. Sometimes it's just music: impossible to categorize, but oh so good.
Some might characterize Wrong Kata as a "jam band" because they don't have a singer, but the term is vague and doesn't account for the variety of sounds and genres they explore. The members cite everything from Led Zeppelin to Roots Radics, and a variety of European jazz artists as influences, which, to a degree, account for their complex sound.
Despite the difficulty in pinning them with a genre, one facet of Wrong Kata Trio's music is clear and consistent throughout their songs: these guys can groove. "Anthony has always been my favorite groove bass player to play with. He's so deep in the pocket," says drummer Brandon Graves. Graves assembled the band more than a year ago after realizing the possibility of getting Anthony Case, UJ Pesonen (guitarist) and himself together to create music. "I knew in my head what it might sound like, so I wanted to get all of us in a room together," he says.
Regardless of their undeniable musical prowess, the band isn't interested in relentlessly touring to achieve national recognition. "It's not really about making it anymore. It's about being
creative and being able to make music we care about for people in the area," Graves says. They're opening for Mouth on Friday, Feb. 3, at The Bottleneck.
On Nov. 11, they headlined at Jazzhaus. Local Lawrence musician Jake Liston from The Windup Birds was in attendance and when asked what he thought about the band, he didn't elaborate. "Those guys are fucking awesome," he says.

Finding My Way

Two majors later, One Jayplay writer is finally happy
KATIE JAMES
The day I observed a physical therapist at my eighth-grade career fair I decided that was what I wanted to be when I grew up. The therapist seemed so cool and professional, showing us the different therapy techniques that could be done with resistance bands and exercise balls. Physical therapy seemed like a perfect fit for me. I wanted to help people and physical therapy wasn't as traumatic as being a doctor. In fact, I was so sure I wanted to become a physical therapist I never even considered any other majors throughout high school. I was going to make a difference in other people's lives, or so I thought.
My school district at home was, in the words of Mean Girls, "a pusher." During enrollment freshman year of high school, the counselor handed me a four-year plan and expected me to fill it in right then and there. The college-prep meetings started soon after, but they didn't faze me. I knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted to major in. I didn't give a second thought to the fact that I was passionate about music and photography, or that I was a good writer. I couldn't wait to get to The University of Kansas. Every time someone asked me what I was going to school for I would proudly answer "pre-physical therapy."
As my freshman year began, I walked onto campus more excited for school than I had ever been. I had this buzz, this feeling like I was starting a new chapter and nothing could bring me down. But my feelings quickly changed. I was in the normal gen-eds, but what disappointed me so much was that I didn't like my exercise science classes. I absolutely hated going to history of physical education. Why did I need to be taught how to be a phys. ed. teacher or the history of the Olympics to be a physical therapist? To make things worse, I could never read my notes after they turned into a scribbled blur while fighting to keep my eyes open.
The advising appointment during which I had to plan sophomore year classes terrified me. I hadn't done that great in a sociology class and my adviser at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences jumped all over me. "If this is how you do in gen-eds, how do you expect
to do well in graduate school?" Honestly, at that point I wasn't sure if I even wanted to be a physical therapist anymore. Seven years of school for something I wasn't sure about seemed too much. I asked my adviser what she would recommend I do, and she said, "Guess you'll have to figure it out."
I called my mom on my way home from the advising center in tears. It was a gorgeous sunny day with lots of cheery people on campus, but I felt like my world was crashing down around me. "I can't do this anymore. I don't know what to do. I hate it." It was crushing to realize my dream wasn't something I wanted anymore, and even more defeating was the fact that I didn't know where to go from there. I moped for days, feeling lost in a spiral of self-doubt and confusion, unsure what path my life was now going to take. I kept getting asked what I was good at and what I wanted to do, over and over, making me feel more and more pressured. "Well, I don't know," was always my answer. I loved art and photography, but I didn't want to have to begin school all over again as a sophomore to transfer into the School of Art and Design.
Bring on my second major freak-out during winter break of sophomore year. Had I not learned anything the first time? Apparently not. Unsure, I made the switch to art history. Though I was excited at first, it didn't work out either. One semester in I realized I should have looked at the job opportunities in the field of art history before changing my major. I didn't want to work in a stuffy museum or become a professor. I felt like I had rushed into this decision, and I really just wanted someone to tell me I wasn't ruining my life.
I felt like a failure. I was the person who had no idea what to do. My high school teachers had put so much importance on picking a major, but not what to do if you wanted to change. You weren't supposed to quit.
Many restless nights later, I sat down and without putting a ton of pressure on myself, tried to think about what I liked to do. And then, it was as though a light bulb turned on: journalism. Why had I not thought of this before? I already watched the news and read the newspaper every day.I liked to write and talk to people about their views. Why not do it for a living?
Before classes started again I met with advisers from the journalism school. They were so excited I was there and really encouraged me to pursue something I enjoyed. They helped me with all the essential paperwork, and by some miracle, I had completed the necessary requirements to apply for admission right away.
I found what I been lacking in my previous majors; a connection with the people who were preparing me for the real world, professors who cared about their students and were really passionate about what they were teaching and I felt good at what I was doing. I finally looked forward to coming to school every day. It felt like home. In those first few weeks of journalism classes, I realized that it's OK to move on if something isn't working out. It didn't make me a failure, and I'm a lot happier now.

EDITOR'S NOTE
After finally learning how to study college is coming to a smooth end
I have never been good at studying. What I am skilled at is making excuses. I tell myself that I take good notes throughout the semester or that I have a adequate memory. It's as if those reasons let me off the hook from ever reviewing those notes or trying to remember the lectures.
Then finals roll around — and I have no more excuses. Without fail, this always leads to a rather ugly breakdown.
"Why didn't I care about this more throughout the year?" I wonder.
(By the way, the answer is The Kansan. It's all consuming.)
Then, I spend one glorious weekend poring back through my books and trying to decipher my notes. My friends tell me about this event called "Stop Day Eve," during which they go out and have fun. It's a foreign concept to me.
However, because I've made it this far in college, I suppose it's at least a semi-effective system. However, it's not a process that I would suggest.
By Emily Glover eglover@kansan.com pursuitofhealthfulness.com
That's why I made a point of turning things around this year. I studied. I kept up with my readings. In more appropriate terms: I gave it the good ol' college try.
Now, I'm sitting pretty. It's an incredible, unstressed feeling that I haven't felt in years.
Not to rub it in or anything.
The real point I'm making is that I will be taking advantage of this entire section during finals week. With puzzles, cartoons and coloring pages, it's like a college student's dream — or a Kindergartner's.
Same thing, right?

Procrastination has ugly consequences
ALEXA RUSH
arush@kansan.com
All-nighters are usually considered synonymous with college. Whether it's that big project that was put off until last minute or the huge midterm that snuck up and now needs to be crammed for, almost every college student experiences this dreaded episode where junk food and energy drinks become your best friends.
Whitney Slater, a freshman Master of Architecture major from Wichita, has to frequently work late in the lab, also referred to as a studio, to build her models. These projects are very time consuming and Slater has learned the hard way that time management is a must.
"I always wait to do them until I absolutely have to. The worst night so far was when I was in my studio until 5 a.m. working on a model for the next morning." Slater said. "Doing it so late was slightly scary and frustrating."
Patrick Frey-Frankenfield, a junior
from Corvallis, Or., has taken on the challenge of double majoring in Sports Management and Accounting. With two years of college already under his belt, he has figured out how to stay motivated and organized so that he can avoid those unforgiving all-nighters.
"I have the planner that KU gives us and I put pretty much everything in it. I also try to keep track of all of my syllabi and reference those every once in a while just to make sure I know where I am in my class and what assignments are coming up," said Frey-Frankenfield.
There are many different opinions when it comes to the matter of how much studying one should do and when. Some say that studying for two hours a day, for each class is sufficient and that you should review your notes immediately following the class. Others feel that these issues vary for each student. Slater states that she would highly recommend the two hours per subject suggestion, but that this may not work for everyone.
"I think that it completely depends on
the type of student and learner you are," Slater said. "I never do my homework right after the class, mainly because my brain needs a break from the subject that I was working on. So, normally my homework and study time is on alternate days from when I have that class."
Although it's a good idea to study with peers at times to get a different outlook on things learned, it can also become quite the distraction. Finding a happy medium between study groups and individual study time can make all the difference when it comes to a possible all-nighter.
"I try to isolate myself from other people, either in my dorm room or the library, because they'll end up being a distraction no matter what," Frey-Frankenfield said.
Believe it or not, all-nighters do not plague everyone. As Robert Christie, a senior Biochemistry major from Chicago, Ill., has learned over the years, the control is completely in the hands of the student.
"I've never had to pull an all-nighter. The latest I have stayed up is 2 a.m. Have a plan of action on what you're going to study," Christie said. "That way you're not scrambling to figure out what to study, and you can devote more time to productive studying."
Avoiding all-nighters is crucial when it comes to decent work output. Unfortunately, professors may be able to pinpoint who actually attempted some thought and the slackers who waited until last minute. Christie has some words of wisdom for the freshmen class about academic success.
"My advice would be to approach your classes professionally. This means taking your classes seriously and not halfassing it on projects, papers, or tests," Christie said.
